I don't know... We used to "flag" people all the time when I was a kid... which was basically pulling their pants down in order to embarrass them. This isn't quite the same thing, but I do see some parallels. Of course in my day, we didn't have facebook/youtube/etc. to bring this embarrassment to the entire world. So, on one hand, I do think these girls should be punished... but whether the victim was a girl or boy, its still not on the level of requiring police intervention. Police action is al…

Yeah, but the photo doesn't show 2/10's. The guy is a 2/10, and this is probably the farthest he's come in regards to having 3 good looking girls get close to him. There is like a 99% chance this guy woke up, and was like "fuck yeah". Context does matter too, and its entirely possible that the entire group were familiar with each other, and understood each other's boundaries. I do think there is a serious problem with men's rights vs women's rights, but shit like this is similar to the nonsensic…

How does that discredit him? I know some men who are basically homeless, but can teach many people up here a thing about gaming women. Gaming women is the only reason some men aren't living in the streets. I'm not saying that a homeless person, or a dude living in his parent's mud hut in Senegal watching animated porn, will be automatically wrong... but you'd have to be incredibly stupid to base your life choices solely based on their anecdotal comments. The chances are that a person, in a despe…

Do what you want to do. You shouldn't be asking other people what to think. You never know who you are taking advice from. I've actually seen a guy, from a third world country in Africa (who lives with his parents and discusses erotic anime on reddit), give people advice on here. Its one thing to take advice on sexual strategy, its another to let an internet forum determine your life's course. If something makes you happy, then do that. If something makes you miserable, don't do that.

Apparently the girl was 115 lbs. That is petite, even for a short woman. Maybe she looked like a fitness model before hand? If so, motherhood is just going to knock you down a notch after you just have a baby.

I found this to be exactly true. The same was true for myself after my wife gave birth. Child birth is like an atomic bomb in terms of life changes. I could barely do anything myself. Taking care of a newborn is hard work, and both parents should probably be spending time with the baby to help with their development. On top of that, the hormones in the mother go completely fucking crazy. They often become a different person until after the first year, then things start to normalize. If this guy …

Sex is only really important when you aren't getting any. This is especially true when you are young and your hormones are pushing the urgency for sex. I think once you are getting it enough to be "satisfied", sex is really the least important thing in your life. Its more like a biological necessity that needs to be satiated, just like your basic need for food. To build self worth and meet your emotional and intellectual needs, you need much much more...

My opinion of this sub is that there are quite a few people who try to push an anti-feminism agenda... just like there are people trying to push a feminism agenda. The fact of the matter is that most regular/normal people aren't trying to make any agenda happen. They are just trying to get through the day. Of course, the problem is that most of us are influenced by people pushing an agenda at one time or another. The goal for everyone with a brain should be to NOT follow the hive mind, but to fo…

If you have some carbs in your diet, which you need if you are lifting for size, the carbs will make it very easy for the Saturated fats to be turned into fat. If you are doing something like keto for weight loss, it does appear to work, and fats appear to be necessary in that type of diet... but I am still not convinced that a high Saturated fat diet is healthy over the long term. Either way, this type of diet will provide very little energy for weight lifting... which is why bodybuilders and p…

I think Keto definitely works, although I'm not convinced about not having long term health effects. I know some people do crazy stuff like eating only bacon, and that is definitely not going to end well. The thing with Keto though, is that its just very hard to get a lot of calories from protein and vegetables. You'd have to eat quite a lot of fat, which will typically be saturated fat, if you needed a higher caloric intake, and I think evidence tends to suggest that could potentially be bad fo…

This is pretty true. Your maximum muscle mass is really determined by 1) hormone levels 2) Bone width. If you have very small wrists/ankles compared to the rest of the population, you won't be able to support much muscle naturally. As far as hormone levels, there can be some variation, but most people need steroids to get like the guys in fitness magazines and bodybuilders. Most steroids (but not all) cause the muscles to swell with glycogen storing fluid. Its sort of a ballooning effect, and it…

I agree and disagree with different parts of what you wrote. I wholeheartedly agree that keeping someone's interest is about more than coming along first. In order for someone to continue to be with you, you have to be someone they enjoy being around and want to be with. Amongst other things, it means staying attractive (e.g. not getting fat), and being good company. By being a selfish ass who puts himself first and does what he wants, even at the expense of others sometimes, the whole world ben…

That's good and all, but you're presuming I value this relationship more than truth and reality, which I don't. I can disagree with girls and still fuck them or date them, but once you show me you're a hypocrite I don't care anymore. It really doesn't have anything to do with valuing the relationship. It has more to do with maintaining composure and proper perspective over a simple discussion. You may not have been looking to marry this girl, or even stay with her much longer... but the personal…

I don't recall advocating being combative. You are in favor of escalating a pointless discussion for absolutely no useful reason. That is pretty much the definition of being combatative. And chemo only kills cells. So? I want fewer people with dumb opinions in my life. You've missed the point. You don't want to make these decisions in the heat of the moment, and it rarely benefits you to do it on bad terms. If you do this, then your emotions are taking over, and you are not making decisions base…

Well, one more step and we'd be comparing this conversation to Nazi's and killing the Jews. That has nothing to do with anything. You turned the argument into "wanting to round up all the blacks and lock them up"... You made the same stupid association as in the OP's posts, except you chose extreme racism against blacks instead of Jews. Its a strawman argument. It has everything to do with the discussion because your point carries no weight. And you know what, after a quick discussion they don't…

I've said this in another thread of the same nature, but relationships shouldn't end over arguments over something that has near zero importance in your life. If they do, you (and your partner) are doing something wrong. If you can't handle a fight over a statistic, how are you going to deal with actual problems with a relationship? Like running out of money, how to raise a kid, whether to relocate, etc. These little discussions should never even get a chance to escalate. All it takes is for one…

Aside from the legal issues being discussed here, this type of thing would never work, even if it was applied to both sexes equally (or even just men). The biggest problem with making this type of thing useful is that there is no real way to verify any of the information being introduced. With that in mind, its completely possible to make the system useless in a number of ways. The number of joke entries would probably be phenomenal. Other people would game the system to ward off competition - l…

I think the best advice I can give is "don't think" when you're having sex. Just go with it, and do what feels natural. Although its true for some people more than others, we are literally programmed to know what to do. Its not a matter of "treating the girl like a slut" nor is it "being tender and passionate". Its just doing what you are supposed to do, and doing what is natural. I think the aspect of being really into it, and sort of losing control, is what really does it for people... and tha…

Hey, you said it yourself... "women and men can't be friends". Yet, you seemingly go out of your way to include this woman in "family functions", marveling at how good she is with your kid... saying how you are this woman's "emotional tampon". Clearly there is more to this than just making your wife jealous. No one spends that much time and effort for just that. Whether you admit to it or not, you're seriously into this girl. No one does all of that, and is proud of it, unless that is the case. …

I'm predicting divorce within 3 years. Very young child (which equals two stressed out parents), the husband spending a strange amount of time with an attractive female colleague and it sounds like he is getting emotionally attached to her.. The wife is getting paranoid because the husband is not hiding the fact that he's falling for someone else. One, or both of them, are likely to step out and attempt to jump ship. Maybe I'm just really cynical, but I've seen this happen more than a few times.…

Yeah, I agree with her too. At that age, after having cancer, you are essentially both getting close to death. You don't want headaches, you want comfort.

You'd have to define what "red-pill behavior" actually means. Everyone seems to have a different opinion. You'd also have to define what your definition of "working" is. For some people its getting one time sex. For others, its having a successful monogamous marriage. Everyone has different goals in mind, and sometimes they are diametrically opposed to one another.

No. I never said the generalizations are wrong. I said using absolutes derived from a generalization were almost always wrong.

Except that men have the capacity to think and act from reason instead of feelings. There is no excuse for men acting this way. Women lack that capacity, and will never be able to function in any other way.

Functionally speaking, the vast majority do not... whether they have an excuse or not. Also, generalizations that use absolutes are basically always wrong.…

I think you are going too far into the semantics of it, and trying to argue for alternate definitions of the word. The popular meaning more or less defines the definition. In our society, the definition is accurate and there is a negative connotation to it, but you have every right to question what makes it worse than other lifestyles.

I disagree. I'm pretty sure that is the definition of shallow. If you were to say you wanted something "deeper", everyone would interpret that as something that involves a strong emotional relationship. I think the consequences of any particular "sexual strategy" is a perfectly valid discussion point. If there was a women's "sexual strategy" that advocated emulating a barbie'esque behavior, and being a vapid airhead, it might very well work... but this could work against other life goals and per…

Sorry, but this is just silly. The need to have a child is a biological impulse. Even most men eventually feel it. Its something younger people don't understand, because they haven't experienced it... but as most people get older, they want a kid. Women feel like they need a kid. For a lack of better terms, people are like machines. Our built in purpose is to reproduce and then care for the child. This is especially true for women.

Look around at reddit. People fight over nothing because that is the natural progression of discussion when there is a disagreement. I think it would be silly to try to assign an agenda to this type of thing, because this behavior is so intrinsic and prevalent across literally everyone.

I'd say its true that you really won't have an opportunity to fight about something if you don't go into discussing it... but these seems like a pretty self repressing strategy, and just sort of silly. Saying your opinion, without discussing it, is only a step away from just changing the subject.

I'm sorry to chew on you, but this is a really bad example of how to handle long term relationships. The first thing I notice is that none if the crap you are fighting about actually matters.

Again, this is an unrealistic comparison. You can't compare juiced up professional bodybuilders to normal people. Their entire training is around making their bodies as big as possible (without any regard for strength or natural fitness), and compete with the lowest body fat possible for human beings. If we even take the inflation oriented steroids out of the equation, Arnold was probably 260+ outside of competition months. You can be certain he wasn't "fat" either. Now, that is huge (even if he…

The annalogy Muscle > Fat in terms of weight is true but to put on the actually weight by lean muscle is sooooooooo much harder. Yes, it takes a lot of effort to put on muscle weight, and its typically harder to keep the fat off. Oddly enough, if you are one of those people who doesn't carry all of their weight in their stomachs, fat can make you fill more volume and look bigger (although not necessarily better). Some power lifters look absolutely massive, pushing 25%+ bodyfat. They have a lot o…

The average weight for an American male at 6 feet tall is 230 pounds, but this includes everyone regardless of fitness level. At 5' 9", the average weight is 194 lbs. Since muscle weighs more than fat, your maximum weight when fit can easily match or exceed your out of shape weight (except in extreme circumstances). I'm a lean 230 (was 215 at 12% bodyfat, but I gained weight), and there are guys who are much bigger and more built than me at my job alone. Forget about at the gym. Some of the guys…

Broad shoulders on a tall guy does make you look bigger... but height has a complicated effect on weight. If you gained 25-50 lbs of muscle, you probably wouldn't look the same as a 5' 8 guy (of the same weight) who added 50 lbs of muscle. The 5' 8 guy would look more like the body builders, while you'd just look muscular. Its because the same amount of muscle would be stretched over a larger area for you. The tiny guy would bulge out while you'd just be filling in. The benefit of being tall tho…

Bodyfat does play a factor in how much weight is muscle, but with a typically athletic 15% bodyfat 225 is just muscular for a 6' adult... not "huge". Don't get me wrong, for young kids 16-21, 225 is really big... but for 25+ its not. Bodyfat aside, the frames of the guys who are upper 200's and over 300 are just massive. I've always been in decent shape myself, but working out next to these guys makes you feel and look tiny. Its amazing how much they can just dwarf you in sheer volume. While 225…

The professional body builders are probably pretty repulsive (IMO as a guy)... but they set a benchmark for comparisons. A lot of young guys are like "I'm 225 and I'm huge!".

It could've been the friend, or anyone at the party... she could have had sex before hand too. Its impossible to say, considering this is a second hand story which potentially never even happened (after all, this is reddit).

Your SO should be your friend, and a person who genuinely wants to make you happy. You should genuinely want to make them happy. If this is not the case, then the LTR is broken. If one person is trying to control, manipulate, or make the other persons life miserable, something is very very wrong. This means that at least one person doesn't give a shit if the other is happy. I think in your case, you were walking on egg shells because you wanted your wife to be happy. Clearly, she was miserable a…

I agree that its mostly the attractive people having sex, because they have the opportunity to. In today's world, this applies to both women and men. However, I don't think that the very attractive guy ends up with the virgin wife, for the aforementioned reason. Unless he takes a serious downgrade, who didn't have the opportunity to have sex (or was an ugly duckling), all of the attractive women are going to have had plenty of sex. Even average guys have a few random sexual encounters, albeit wi…

Well, I don't think it matters what the population size is... what matters is the participation percentage. If 90% of all attractive people in the group have "fun" sex (both men and women), then we run into this problem. The point I'm making isn't a moral one, its a practical one. If a large percentage of either sex agreed to wait until marriage to have sex, then the problem would disappear. It would only take one group, either men or women, to abstain. Men could solve the problem just as easily…

men are different from women and are therefore held to different standards. the ho you ONS is not wife material. I think this is no longer true due to the sheer volume of people who have one night stands. Practically everyone has sex for pleasure nowadays. Almost everyone has sex a few times without commitment. Increased numbers of women having one night stands mean an increased number of men having one night stands. Your ability to have a one night stand relies on this. If 95% of the female pop…

This is very double standard'ish though. I've had uncommitted sex, for fun, when I was younger. Most people wouldn't call me a slut. If everyone wants to have sex with a ton of people and then marry a virgin, isn't that just the reverse of the scenarios that are so heavily trashed in here - where a girl settles down with a "good guy" after having tons of sex for years? I can understand that if you are a guy who doesn't believe in having uncommitted sex with women, you'd want a girl who feels the…

Its not realistic... at least not in today's world. Women have leverage too. You (and probably other men) want them, and its assumed you want a family. If you don't want to commit, she can find someone who will. For a desirable woman, it would be incredibly stupid to have a child without being married. The only girls who will do this are the ones who think they couldn't possibly do any better than you... which means, you probably could do a lot better. Women aren't stupid. They give up their edg…

Marriage is very restrictive for guys, and I think everyone knows this. Divorce is definitely lopsided. However, marriage is socially expected, and still seen as a requirement for raising a family by most people. Women aren't stupid, and at some level they realize its to their advantage to be married when they start a family. Child birth decimates a woman's body, and harms their career prospects. If you leave, they are now at a serious disadvantage. A woman with any brains, who has leverage of h…

Cheating has nothing to do with being unhappy. It has more to do with being selfish and inconsiderate. If you are unhappy to the point where things are "over" and your desire for exclusivity has ended (male or female), you need to break up with your partner. Cheating is considered immoral, because it is forbidden in one of those invisible social contracts. No one wants to get cheated on. Its more painful than a break up, it can be emotionally scarring, it can cause the transfer of STDs, etc. You…

Unless you really, really, really want children marriage is a losers gamble. I'd agree with you there.

He's 100% right. Both men and women cheat. People, in general, don't care who they screw over and only care about themselves. You can't think of it as men vs women.

Dating when you are older tends to get much harder, for both men and women. The reason is that looks degrade for most people. Your average 40 year old American is in very poor shape, and looks are the cornerstone of sex. That being said, a small percentage of people maintain looks into their 40's... and male or female, they don't have trouble finding people. If you look good, people will want you. Its just very hard to maintain your looks as you get older.

90% the guys fault here. If you want a LTR and you have some sort of "showstopper" in your plans (like not wanting kids, not wanting marriage), you absolutely need to be upfront with this. If not, don't be surprised if he/she leaves you. If you hide these things until it becomes too late for the other person, that is extremely selfish and immature.

You leverage your ability to do the work to get more money. That is the way the world actually works. Putting in extra time for free, doing shitty jobs that no one wants to do (for nothing!), letting yourself be mistreated, etc. do not increase your value. In fact, they work strongly against you and all of your coworkers. These things will all…

What better things are there to spend your money on, then making your home (where you spend a majority of your time when not at work) a comfortable place to live? If you are spending money, on the same order of magnitude as a mortgage, you are probably grossly overspending and mismanaging your money. This is especially true if what you buy with that money depreciates in value as time goes on. Most of the time when you buy a house, it retains its value. Its an asset.

The guy who doesn't give a shit, who eats and wears what he wants, enjoys a level of freedom that the guys who bust their ass working out will never get to enjoy. That is because they don't want to have a good time with the guys, they want to get laid. The two objectives are mutually exclusive.

Beta males are the comfortable, onesie wearing, losers that swap the gym and hard graft for a cup of cocoa and a hot water bottle. Its a good idea to stay in shape... but there are often 1000 other things people have to do in life. Not everyone prioritizes their looks. The only reason you prioritize your looks and physical appearance is to make an impression with the opposite sex. Some of the people who "let themselves go" are lazy.

Islam is the most balanced way of life I think people who say this never actually read the written works of their religion. People cherry pick passages that suit them and tend to ignore the rest. Upwards of 90% of what is written in religious texts (in all religions) is just utter fucking nonsense. The torah, new testament, the Koran... they are all filled with archaic and irrelevant garbage.

I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with it. Divorces are such grueling and draining leeches on your life, its natural to be happy the divorce is final. I think its an attempt to try and put a positive spin on the future, while putting the past behind you. Keep in mind, only a small percentage of people actually do this type of thing... and its just one way out of many to try and mentally turn the page.

Why would a guy initiate a divorce? Even if he is done with the relationship, its better to wait it out as long as possible. He will likely have to pay dearly for it (until his kid turns 18 and/or when she remarries). The more time that he is legally married and not divorced, it is money saved.

I think the causality is backwards... Video games don't make you shy away from people. You play video games because you'd rather be sitting down, interacting with a machine, rather than another human being. Before that, there were other ways to spend your time alone.

You can't really say that contributed to the problem though. For all you know, the internet and video games gave him an outlet to express his feelings, which delayed the onset of his violence. People seek out like minded people who agree with them. That is why TRP and reddit in general is often one big circle jerk. He probably visited "weirdo websites" because he himself was a "weirdo".

Just like everything else, it depends on what part of the Bible you read. The old testament was not about loving monogamous relationships.

Of course... More women (and by transitive properties, more men) have sex because of contraception. In earlier times, if the girl didn't wait until marriage, she got pregnant and was left being a single mother. More girls stayed virgins, or faced the crippling prospect of raising a child alone. Of course, this led to people getting married much younger. Now we get to have sex whenever we'd like, and we don't have to get married before women give it up.

I think he's spot on actually. Depending on her age, what type of relationship she wants, and what type of person she is... the delaying sex is a very effective tactic of weeding people out. If a girl wants a long term relationship, but she wants to get rid of all the people who just want to sleep with her, delaying sex (or anything else) will get rid of the guys who just want to score. Its extremely effective. Of course, as people get older, this becomes less of a thing. Girls who've had zero s…

I don't see this as being notable in any way. I see this as a woman gets pregnant with some random guy, and is now panicking because she won't have a good provider to help raise the kid. Its irresponsible behavior, but just another example of how people work in general - they only worry about consequences after the shit hits the fan. The real problem here is that this woman had sex without protection, and didn't want a baby. Nearly every guy and every girl who has actively dated has been in this…

I think this is completely correct... however, I'm not sure there is much difference in this regard between men and women. If you replace all instances of "men" and "women" with "people", its still completely true. A lot of people cheat... and a lot of it is biological, with urges and desires that you really can't prevent. Whether your conscious mind goes along with it or not, is another story. Some people are weak willed, disloyal and don't care if they hurt anyone. Of course, there are still p…

I'm not entirely sure about this. I think people decide whether they are attracted to someone (and therefore want to have sex with them) within the first 30 seconds after meeting them. At that point, you can only talk yourself out of having a chance, but not the other way around. I also think the more attraction there is, the less what you say/do matters. If two people are very attracted to each other, its going to be a while before they realize they don't actually like the other person or want …

Actually, my father didn't "run off" with anyone. He didn't start cheating on my mom until after she cheated on him and he didn't live with a boyfriend until after he and my mom were separated. This is what I mean. Do you really think that your dad being gay didn't have anything to do with it? You don't think that the fact he was lusting over men might have something to do with your mom's exit from the relationship. Cheating is definitely a shitty thing to do.

How often does someone's father run off with another man, and the mother move four kids in with a drug dealer? Normal people have problems, but this is a level of severe fucked-up-edness that isn't really that common... at least not anywhere except the poorest communities. The first 3/4 of this doesn't qualify as TRP material to be quite honest. The mother was right to leave her first husband. He was attracted to other men.

It sounds like your parents were very confused and irresponsible people (more notably your mother). I think this goes beyond red pill and blue pill stuff to some degree.

Not wanting to have sex one night is not a very good reason to break down a relationship for a week+. Hell, I'm a guy and I say no to sex every now and then. Its a normal thing, for both parties. You can't go postal for such a small reason... its petty. Its also very passive. Ignoring someone for a week over that is not going to make it clear what the problem is. If this actually happened, that girl had no idea what was going on. Negative reinforcement only works if the subject knows what action…

Yeah, I think its a lot easier said than done in some cases... The advice is easy to give, but often unpleasant for both parties when executed. "Talking" isn't a bad thing, but what it means is that you strip the emotions out and do it in a presentably calm manner. I think people (not just your wife) need to see the emotion some times for it to really click. Not only that, but when you are getting shafted (or not shafted in your case), making things unpleasant acts as negative feedback. Negative…

If you don't like something, and its killing your relationship, you have to be vocal about it. You shouldn't hide how you feel and hope it gets better. If you are steaming angry, act steaming angry.

I do think men are more aloof then women, and this makes them more prone to being humorous than women... but I'm not sure I'd immediately jump to the conclusion that this is evolutionary. It could be, but there isn't much evidence to support that. I completely disagree with the notion that guys have to be funny to get girls.

All good points. But they sort of don't apply to current reality. So I am not sure what to make of it. Most women want to slut around in their early 20s. This is why most men in STEM degrees go dateless throughout their college career, and even into their mid 20s, until they get jobs. I've lived and seen this first hand, Ok?

I think that you aren't thinking about how that mentality could backfire. You aren't thinking about how this type of thinking could end up hurting you when done by the other side. There are a lot of problems with this scenario. For one, when you "cheat", you are not letting the other person know that you are breaking the monogamy. In other words, you are leading on the other person so that they continue being monogamous, while you are not. Regardless of what you consider the "terms of the contra…

I think classic church wedding vows are probably a poor choice for supporting the "sneaking around and sleeping with hookers is OK" point of view. Church vows typically include being faithful, never divorcing, always cherishing each other, and a bunch of other scripted BS.

Put your penis in another vagina and she'll get over it. I can believe that cheating affects men more than women, but to say that its easy for women to get over is just not correct. Practically no one takes being cheated on well, and it is devastating to practically everyone who loved/loves the person that cheated.

I don't disagree completely, but I don't really believe in stealthy cheating behind someone's back. I know TRP is big on the whole "there are no morals in sex", but this is more than an unwritten rule. It is something that is in every monogamous person's best interest. Being cheated on hurts, regardless of sex. Men don't want women cheating on them, and women don't want men cheating on them. A verbal commitment to a monogamous relationship isn't contractually binding... you can get out of it... …

I'm a guy, but the way I thought about it is what I'd do if money was tight and I had to raise my child alone. What would I do? I think I'm a good parent, and I'd probably sacrifice all of my discretionary spending if necessary... even to buy non-necessary things for my kid (like toys, games, etc).

Fair enough... I suppose I could have done a better job of explaining it as well. Its not a fixed cost like a car payment, but I was just trying to say that most costs are pretty similar from month to month. When you consider the big ticket items like clothing, daycare ($1200 a month), food ($200 a week), health care ($170 a week), then most of the other stuff that comes up is a small percentage of your overall costs.

I have a child. The majority of my bills are relatively constant. Food costs the same every week. Daycare costs the same every week. Supplies are picked up bi-monthly, with the same cost. If the child gets sick or injured, I have insurance, which is a fixed cost. Everything needed to keep the child alive is pretty constant. Things like buying toys, and family activities can change a bit, but those are budgeted within my means and are not technically necessary either. I'm not trying to be mean he…

This is the first thing I thought. The costs to support your child are basically fixed costs that you have to pay every month. You have to buy him/her clothing, food, supplies for school, etc. These aren't really things you can put off for a month or two. You pay them no matter what. If you are low and cash, what suffers first is discretionary spending. Extra money coming in would allow you to resume spending on things you want, but don't need.

Aside from the adultery, what would be morally wrong with that? I think you miss understood my second point.

I know it's a difficult thing to tell, but I think that's the risk everyone takes in imbibing alcohol--getting taken advantage of or possibly taking advantage of someone else. Well, in my mind, "being taken advantage of" means someone has sex with you and you are unable to stop them. It doesn't mean that you said yes, but wouldn't like that decision when you are sober. The problem with rape is that unless the rape is violent, there is no evidence of whether it was consensual or not. Its always a…
