Saw this and was curious. Know I am not around as much anymore, but I think some of the older ECs are not showing up on this list cause their comments are from back in the day.

Classic attention whore stuff. Plenty of resources about it if you use the search bar. You are doing things right. As Pook said: Men dominate the world of action, women the world of words. Focus on making her act on her "supposed" interest, otherwise, you show her none. Don't fall into her wordgames.

You are conflating PUA approaches with TRP theory. We do encourage newbies to actively go out gaming women, but that is more about getting them practice and into the habit. All the old-timers around here are more focused on their mission than women, but that takes time. Your comment is equivalent to making fun of a fat person who shows up at the gym the first time. They may not be very far along in their journey, but they will get there by following the steps, and being persistent. Cut them some…

Two steps forward, one step back. Then do it again. At some juncture all men must face the fundamental question of "what is the point". You are bumping up against it now. Plates and other things come and go, and a sort of nihlism can start to take hold. In the end though, this is the path to freedom. The only purpose in this world is the one you create. And if someone sees thru your facade, it simply means you are still on the path to embracing that. Swallowing the pill takes years. And every ti…

One day, when you're further along as a grown man (versed in TRP) into your 30's and 40's, you will look back at the women you've know along the way and think: Shit I seriously dodged some bullets Nothing puts things in perspective than seeing how the thing that was once prized decays with time. And how silly are our longing desires for impermanent things that are bound to wither. Enjoy your time with them, but realize they can never be truly yours. Only your turn.

People only hear what they want to hear. There was a funny moment last week where instagram personality "Tank Sinatra" posted some stoic philosophy quotes to his IG page, and a bunch of millennials came in there arguing with him about how it was all wrong and ignored the realities of trauma and privilege and oppression and all the things their 22-year-old selves learned in gender studies class. How they were all smarter than legendary philosophers like Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and Seneca, and…

Years ago, this confused me too. I would be out for the first time with a new girl, and I was supposed to be kino-ing her and escalating but also cool and aloof and not showing too much interest ... what? Over years of practice, I realized it all came down to this: you should be fun and engaging, without expecting anything in return. As long you don't come from a place of neediness, you are fine. Stoicism in that regard is really about killing your inner neediness. Besides, those covert contacts…

If a girl makes no effort to hang out with you in person, she is NOT interested. Texting back and forth is low effort interaction. You have one job as a man: to move the interaction forward, to escalate. You move from talking to hanging out, from hanging out to seducing, from seducing to bedroom olympics. A girl who doesn't follow your lead along the way isn't doing her part. You escalate, if she resists, then find a different girl. Maybe she'll come back around maybe she won't, but you did your…

It will be interesting to see how many people realize this has been on the sidebar the whole time. There is a reason why we curate certain posts here ... many men over the years have synthesized and distilled a lot of knowledge. Passing it down from one generation to the next. Modern society would tell us to break that chain, since it makes us better consumers of video games and widgets. But it does not make us better men.

Don't take anything at face value. Science is just evidence that helps us understand the world around us ... it is not "the truth". Do your own research, read multiple sources. Where possible, experiment in the real world and see what works and what doesn't. That is the basis of rational thought. Also TRP 101.

As a practicing PhD scientist, I should point out that this kind of bias affects all science, even biology and genetics. But that is not to say that gender studies doesn't push the ideological BS to the extreme. It is the difference between science and scientism. And a reminder to always take a skeptical, rational view of "the truth".

The problem with the truth, is that it is often inconvenient. Wanting something to be true despite all the evidence to the contrary is a good way to have reality smack you in the face. A lesson every man must learn. Perhaps the Reddit admins are learning that lesson as well. Beliefs, of course, are a powerful thing. And rational thought is forever under siege with each generation. It is easier to believe, then to do the hard empirical work of thinking.

You’ll notice that they do not give specific examples of offending material, or any concrete steps we could take to mitigate this. This is because the phrase misogyny is nebulous and holds a definition only to those who use it. There is no actual definition of misogyny, and therefore no way to defend against it. Reminds me of something I wrote a few years back regarding Feminists and Progressives: Meaningless Words Create Meaningless Ideals

Not gonna do your google searching for you, but a couple examples: look at the later era of the Roman empire after Julius Caesar and women advocating for changes to property law and divorce. For chimps, you can look up the work of Frans de Waal for starters, e.g. his book Chimpanzee Politics: Power and Sex among Apes.

If you want to move a lot of water, like a river, somewhere else, the best way to do so is to channel it, to use its own nature and momentum against it. Like Aikido or Judo. Fighting against the tide is not the smartest tactic. I think /u/JamesSkepp and/u/KeffirLime are making similar points.

This is the correct response, but I'm gone add a little bit. Yes women will always advocate for more wealth redistribution. They have done so repeatedly through history, through cultures, through civilizations. Hell even female chimpanzees do it through social persuasion. Sometimes they will fuck around more too to get male resources. It is human nature for women to act this way. So it doesn't matter if it's the government, or the welfare state, or social persuasion, or whatever. The problem OP …

David Buss. Maybe Alfred Kinsey. People who actually study the psychology of sexual behavior. But that's beside the point. What most people don't seem to realize is that science is a human endeavor, and thus prone to all the shortcomings, biases, and foibles of any human. Scientists are no exception.

Speaking as a practicing PhD scientist, I like Peterson in general, but here's the issue: All of Peterson's thoughts on male-female sexual dynamics when it comes to dating are based on armchair philosophy. In contrast, actual science is based on collectable observation and data. But Peterson has no "data", because he's spent his entire life with one girl, and he isn't a sex or relationship researcher. In fact, I would argue that TRP contains more observational evidence than Peterson's ideas do. …

Using n-count to vet women under normal circumstances is fine. The problem is that in the currrent modern West, the situation is such that a low n-count is no longer an indicator of feminine virtue or quality. Why? Because women in this day and age are encouraged to live that "Sex and the City" lifestyle, sex-positive sleep around hookup attitude, with no consequences, socially or otherwise. Yes there are exceptions, like girls who grow up in super religious households, but that is no longer the…

The two arguments are in fact related. The problem with putting too many resources into the weak is that it takes away resources from the strong and limits them. Yet societies need their best and brightest to thrive. Forced equality simply leads to everyone being mediocre. You can read Vonnegut's Harrison Bergeron for a great example.

Yeah we can trade some war stories. I've dated women from over 40 countries I think at this point, but the westernized Asian female doctor is a species all unto their own. The ones who are on-call and stuff are actually pretty good to date/plate, as they are so busy they are not bugging you to hang out all the time.

It is all about the social contract. What you are describing on the female side is reflective of what happens on the male side of the equation. All men form a social contract with the society they inhabit, which basically says I give up some my freedom and power so that I can live in a stable society which let's me raise children or build a house without people stealing it. Or migrants coming in taking advantage of what I built. Or in its most brutish form: I won't kill you if you don't kill me.…

The two I am referencing are Friedrich Hayek's The Road to Serdom and Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan. Hayek was an economist and classical liberal thinker, often credited as the father of modern Libertarianism. Hobbes was a 17th century English political philosopher. There are many others to read, from the Book of Pook to Stoic philosophy to Jack Donovan's The Way of Men. Use the search bar for "reading list" and you'll find several posts of them.

Yeah, you work on yourself and apply TRP principles long enough, and eventually you become a man who has some crazy stories about girls you could tell. The funny thing is you wouldn't even believe them if you hadn't seen them for yourself. Nothing surprises me anymore. What becomes more interesting is how those stories fit into the broader overarching mechanics of male-female interaction, human psychology, and why society is constructed the way it is.

Very true. The temptation seems to be too overwhelming in the modern world. I wrote a post about Nietzsche, Liberalism, and the Paradox of Choice last fall related to this. We seem to as a society hold this notion that more choice=more freedom, but I think the evidence (both scientific and societal) suggests it doesn't work that way, counter-intuitively. The effects on women seem to be even more pronounced. Kind of ties back to the whole women are the most responsible teenager in the house idea.

This is a blatant example of why society was always traditionally setup to shelter and protect women from their own impulsive desires. Otherwise you end up with exactly what you see on Love Island. Of course, we got rid of all that in the last half century. The irony is rife. Real "freedom" is not the freedom to choose to do whatever you want ... it is the freedom to make good choices. Our feral nature is as much a cage as any other. From a TRP perspective, there is no going back at this point, …

On a related note, my experience teaching STEM at a major university in the United States (described down in the comments) was that many of the people in those departments these days don't have any business teaching anyone.

For you and /u/alisemihc: I only showed up at the tail end of that era. Anti-Dump preceded my time.

Pook was not a fake player. He was actually a lawyer I believe, who learned a bunch of shit from an old dude named Anti-Dump. He got jacked in the gym, fixed his inner game, had some success with women. Typical RP tale. Anti-Dump, according to what I was told, was an old guy who accessed the internet in the late 1990's by typing on a keyboard connected to his TV. I can tell some stories, if you're curious.

This is simply how Mother Nature has crafted the world: Men build things and accumulate resources, then women and their ilk harp harp harp to redistribute those resources amongst themselves. It is a cycle. It will probably never end, just manifest in different forms over time. Women use similar double bind mechanisms to create inequalities in the sexual marketplace. The only thing that should really matter to a man at TRP is what he is going to do personally to navigate such a world. Those who s…

I read thru the post on the Peterson sub linked to the "Feminism is not a Shit Test" post here on TRP's main page. It was interesting to see how many of them were stuck on our "nihlism". As if accepting the reality of the world is a choice. I don't think any of us necessarily want the world to be the way it is, but we realize making up myths about "service" doesn't change reality.

Perhaps it would be a good time to remind folks of Whisper's 5 Stages of The Red Pill post. A lot of guys here are still in the bargaining phase but don't realize it, still holding on to their Blue Pill dreams. I think the best way to phrase it is to go back to Rollo's Mitch's Purple Pill last year: "Mitch represents another type of Purple Pill man. This is the guy who’s become Red Pill aware, but believes he can make his Blue Pill idealism work in a Red Pill context."

Millennials are generally defined as anyone born starting in the early 1980's. So the oldest Millennial women now would be somewhere between 34-37. Anyone who is around 20 or under now, including college-aged, is Generation Z. Many of those thirty-something single women running around NYC are Millennials nowadays, even the ones drinking cosmos.

A good TRP lesson to remember in times like those, is that this world will always be designed to challenge you, to break you, to see if you can overcome. Society has always given it's young men trials and tribulations to overcome. Part of the passage into manhood. As we often say here at TRP: men are not born, they are made.

It is ironic because Millennials have essentially made Progressivism their new religion. All they did is swap out the old religion (e.g. christianity) for a new one. If you don't fall in line with the Progressive agenda, you are socially ostracized and branded a "heretic". They of course don't realize that. Sex and the City was part of the whole cultural zeitgeist during that time that brought it about. Funny to think about, looking back.

Much of that has to do with Progressives, the "far left", hijacking liberalism over the last 50 years. Progressives truly are the totalitarians of the Left. They don't actually understand nor adhere to classical liberal principles. A lot of it is more about social psychology than politics ... virtue signaling, aka identifying who is in who's tribe.

Typically I use Amused Mastery ... just start playfully teasing them. They might be pissy at first but eventually they'll start giggling. Remember, a woman wants to feel the full range of emotions, give her a rollercoaster. Sometimes though if they are being super irritable I just ignore them, or "pressure flip" the situation. Put the onus on her (Sparky gives a good example of this above). Various strategies you can employ, but straight up arguing with a woman is not one of them.

It can also be said that the only man who argues with a woman is a man who doesn't understand women. Women argue largely based on their feelings, so the only way to "win" an argument with a woman is to convince her she doesn't feel the way she does. That is obviously a fool's errand, and a man who understands women knows to avoid it.

I think you'll find that a lot of the guys who've been around TRP and/or the Manosphere long enough and have had plenty of sexual success eventually switch over to having a series of short-term relationships (STRs, typically 6 months or less) with the occasional plate on the side. Similar to the open relationships Blackdragon describes. It is less distracting from your mission to just keep a primary girl around while taking other opportunities as they arise.

Doing things for the purpose of validation is about your ego. Covert contracts and all that blue pill beta shit is part of that mindset. Your expectations in that case aren't about healthy boundaries or genuine confidence, rather they really boil down to your internal neediness.

This study does not really conflict with the alpha/beta theory as it relates to a woman's cycle. The study simply says that women pretty much always find more masculine male faces to be sexier. Key point here is that women aren't interacting with beta males cause they think such men are sexy ... they are interacting with them for other reasons.

What is really ironic about all the criticism of TRP is that we are the only ones offering real solutions to these men. Feminism offers them nothing.

This is a little off-topic to TRP, so I'll help you out and make it more on topic: The way to control people is to control the dominant Cultural Narrative. In the same vein, the way individual women manipulate men is to control "the narrative" of male-female relationships and how they work. What you see at a societal level as far as gender dynamics is just a macrocosm of what you see at the individual level. As a man, use that information accordingly.

And this is why we advise men at TRP that when women try to break things off with you, you agree with them or ghost them or simply laugh and say "cool". Act like it doesn't phase you ... or even better yet don't let it phase you. They want to feel like it affected you, that they "won", even if they won't admit it. Women compete in the psychological/social sphere, much like men do the physical one. If it phases you, then they know they conquered you. But if you simply walk away without out a word…

The root of the problem is that many people that come to TRP don't understand the difference between rules and heuristics. The "rules" that are derived from TRP theory are not really rules, even if people sometimes speak about them in absolutes.

You can hang out with this social butterfly girl when you both have time. Both of my FWBs I've been hanging around with since last year. I let them come and go, as they please, like cats (as Corey Wayne would say). In the meantime, I live my life, get shit done, and don't worry about it. Some girls are just like that, especial…

One thing that often gets overlooked is that some women are just not "relationship material". The social butterflies usually fall into this category ... too many options, temptations, drinking, girls-nights-out, etc. Those women are usually a friends-with-benefits (FWB) situation at best. The problem thus arises when men want to treat them more like a serious relationship. The key is to align your expectations with reality. Take her for who she is, enjoy your time with her, and don't expect thin…

Your way of thinking is where we all have to start. But eventually after you've been with enough women, you begin to realize that abundance is more about your time, not necessarily the number of plates you have or whatever. Your time is valuable and limited ... you have to choose wisely what to spend it on. One thing that might surprise you about that approach is that it causes you to give off a naturally disinterested vibe, which is like catnip for women. You don't need anything from them, nor …

This really gets back to screening women. From the first moment I talk to any woman I am constantly screening and qualifying them. Why? Because I've learned that most of them are not worth my time. At each stage - initial contact, getting the number, texting, going out on a date, etc. - I am filtering women out. I would say 95% of women I start talking to I NEVER even ask out, because I don't want to. The key is that at each stage, I only put in the bare minimum amount of time and effort, until …

Steve Jobs got it right at the end of his life: it's not things that we crave, but meaning.

You're dealing with existential dread, which is something humans have struggled with for thousands of years. I think it's sort of an issue that isn't well dealt with at TRP, but it's something that crops up for many old-timers around here and the manosphere, after we've conquered many of our initial challenges when it comes to women and life. It's strange because we are facing a sort of existential dread from unplugging when many first come here, then we come full circle and find a new kind of e…

As a man, it is all about learning to help from above, not below. Remember, a woman's respect flows upwards ... men love women, women love children, and children love puppies. If you're going to be benevolent, you must do so from your frame. The ironic thing is that many of the principles that TRP preaches actually make the people around you happier.

I am of the opinion that to be a truly RP man, you must be able to go monk mode periodically without getting needy or depressed. Otherwise you are still dependent on female validation, i.e. you're still putting pussy on the pedestal ... There are times when all must go without, you must be a master of yourself, no matter what. There is a difference in having an abundance mentality, and simply having an abundance of something (e.g. women) at any given moment. The mentality is something that persi…

Say this first: Social butterflies are typically horrible for LTRs or any sort of actual relationship. They are often too busy and/or addicted to the validation they get from their endless social activities to actually invest in a man. The lack of investment sets up a difficult dynamic for a healthy male-female relationship. I generally avoid women like that except for a FWB/FB type thing. To your specific question: I wouldn't worry about all her friends or trying to out-compete her socially. Ju…

To give a little more context: There are only about 100 Endorsed Contributors (EC's and Vanguards) ... so our ability to outweigh all the "noise" with quality content is limited.

Yeah is this part of a TRP phenomenon we call the Pre-Wall Prance. It has been written about before on here. Just keep in mind that, no matter how "pure" they may seem, all women have a past. Don't be deluded by whatever mask they wear. Just part of the game.

I would agree with that. Again, that's why we generally disdain marriage around here. Life long monogamy is a difficult proposition.

Your focus needs to be on your interest level, not hers. Simple fact is that you should be rejecting at least half if not more of the women you encounter. If you are not doing that, then you are not aiming high enough nor qualifying women stringently enough.

No, mixed signals are simply a sign of low interest. Or in Rollo's terms: The Medium is the Message Your SMV might fluctuate over time, or maybe some other dude is on the horizon. Could be any one of a dozen things. Doesn't matter. A woman only cares about her interest level in you. She behaves according to that. Don't confuse momentary IOIs or whatever with high interest. A woman who is highly interested in you won't confuse you.

I think, for better or worse, for new guys first swallowing the pill, that becoming "invested" in all the RP stuff is part of the process. It's like something to hold onto while they're unplugging and having their world torn asunder. There is kind of a second phase after that, when they've slept with a bunch of women or hit certain goals in life or the gym or whatever, maybe fucked one of the hottest girls they've been with but had her go cold, that they finally accept and internalize it.

I think this can go either way. Yeah GFTOW can work, but if you don't really find the women attractive, it can cause your thoughts to linger back on your ex. Really the optimal thing is to only fuck women with a certain level of attractiveness, or none at all. Digging through the gutter isn't going to make you feel better.

The number one problem for most men in any sort of relationship, whether it be LTRs or something more casual, is being ruled by neediness and fear of loss. Too many men are caught up in the notion that women will somehow "fix" whatever issues or shortcomings they have in life. Or that there is one special lady that will make your life complete.

it’s that men would collude together to deliberately exploit that knowledge to wrest some marginal control over women’s sexual selection process. This raises an intriguing point.

No reason to hard next her if you think she's be down to hang and DTF in the future, if that's what you want. An alpha male by definition does what he wants. So give it a month or two of silence/space, and if she hasn't contacted you already, go for the reset.

As a southerner who now lives in the city of Chicago, I can say unequivocally: ditto, I fully agree with this sentiment. It is ironic that the progress of civilization gradually undermines the masculine nature that produced it.

Was gonna come in here to say the same thing, but this is the correct answer. Only thing I'd nitpick on is that women take a long time to "fall in love" ... usually a few months at least. So if it's within the first few months, she might really like you but still go cold. Women's emotions fluctuate like that. The key is how you respond to it - weak and needy vs. stoic and masculine.

Here's my theory on LTRs. You really have to take the TRP mantra "She's not yours, it's just your turn" to heart. LTR means a "long-term" relationship, not a "forever-term" one. If you choose to go down the LTR route, realize that at some point it will probably fall apart. May be sooner, may be later. But like everything else in life, all things are ephemeral.

The exception to the rule does not invalidate the rule. Some people are still born with tails, or six fingers or whatever.

Did a quick read thru. This is a meta-review ... meaning they didn't actually collect data but smushed a bunch of data from different studies together and created "codes" to indicate psychological distress across all the different studies. In short, I'd take the results worth a grain of salt. As a practicing PhD scientist, I can say that meta-reviews entail a lot of assumptions and are always problematic methodologically.

Women are not the goal in life ... they are simply the by-product of a life well lived. Perfect example of this. You can see how women react to a man who makes women his mission. It is the pursuit of other things, however, that makes you valuable as a man in the sexual marketplace. Even women instinctively know this. Too many men unfortunately conflate the by-product of pursuing goals with the goal itself.

This seems like a good time to re-highlight the phenomenon known as the Pre-Wall Prance: The pre-wall prance is a pattern of behaviours by women where as they enter the epiphany stage, realizing they are nearing or have just started to hit the wall, they clean up their behaviour, attitudes, and presentation, in order to prance-like-a-unicorn. The best illusions don't appear to be an illusion at all. Be aware.

Women want to go on a rollercoaster of emotions. High and low, up and down. They experience the world through emotion. Take them on that ride, and they will love you for it.

I had a girl like that a few years back: abuse and sexual assault stories, always the victim, instant connection, this weird immediate sense of trust and vulnerability. She had an almost uncanny way of drawing you in. Turned out later she was BPD. Beware the wolf in sheep's clothing. Anyone can pretend to be anything for a couple months. The point is: Don't be beguiled by illusions. BPD or not, we are all putting on masks for others. You've read TRP, you know what lies behind the mask ... act ac…

Define "mentally ill"? Are schizophrenics mentally ill because they believe they hear/see things others don't? Are transgenders mentally ill because they believe they are a gender other than what they obviously physically are? Are otherkin mentally ill because they think they are a species other than what they physically are (e.g. cats trapped in human bodies)? What about depressed people?

Men prefer women who are more neotenous. Neoteny refers to the persistence of child-like traits into adulthood. Shaving body hair is a cultural practice meant to make women more resemble juveniles. Neoteny in humans, and the sexual selection of it in females, has been long studied scientifically. For instance, it's been shown that less neotenized male faces are most attractive to women, while more neotenized female faces are most attractive to men, across cultures. In short, men like women who a…

There is a reasonable argument to be made that they shouldn't. Or at least not without some level of commitment. It's one of the great ironies of feminism that they argue otherwise (aka "You go girl"), in that it also makes it easier for men like me to pursue sex while giving very little in exchange. The whole marketplace is pretty distorted right now.

And why should men give commitment without sex?

There comes a point where you have internalized it enough that it is no longer "bait and switch." It all morphs into one persona.

Men come here in different ways. Usually some real-world experience that compels them to seek answers to things that keep recurring, but don't seem to fit the narrative we've been sold.

BPD is a disease of emotional dysregulation. It is thought to relate to some sort of malfunctioning of the amygdala. There are 4 times as many women with BPD as men, for reasons we can only guess at. On the flip side, men are 4 times more likely to have autism. The short answer is that men tend to have more logical (autistic) brains and women tend to have more emotional brains (i.e. BPD). We see that clearly in the patterns of pathology that affect the brain.

Not saying they are necessarily bad people, but women with those issues often struggle to make good relationship partners, for various reasons.

TRP is not simply about changing your life ... it is about changing the way you live. It is a subtle distinction, but a critical one.

Not to win the championship ... winning is simply a side effect. In the same vein, as we often tell people here: women are not the goal of life ... they are simply a side effect of a life well-lived.

The thing women hate the most is not being able to tell men how to be men. The other thing women hate the most is men that let women tell them how to be a man. This is the fem-centric Double Bind. Both groups are "misogynists" in women's eyes. But the reality, as you so aptly point out, is that only one group is truly misogynistic ... and they are often the ones who have abandoned their own masculinity. The ones who fell prey to the Double Bind. Even for them the question is whether it is really…

I think it's fairly obvious that Feminism is a first-world problem. If you are just trying to survive, then power and violence - and men who can wield them - become necessities. In contrast in such conditions, complaining becomes a privilege. It is those who bask in the freedom of safety, that often detest the means which achieved it and/or sustain it.

Misogyny literally means the dislike or hatred of women. Look it up. So by that definition, there are probably not a lot of actual misogynists in the world. There are people who don't trust women, or think they are biologically different from men ... but that is not misogyny. All TRP really does is point out that women are just people, capable of all the good and all the evil as any other.

Your willingness to walk away is key. But you have to pique their interest first. Show your own interest, but then independence. The goal is to get women to follow you. Many men are either too aloof (i.e. cold) or too interested (i.e. desperate). There is a subtle art to walking the line between. Women are drawn to men who are unafraid of their testosterone ... that requires a mix of boldness and independence. The difference between a vice and a virtue is often the restraint with which a thing i…

The greatest power is wielded in the shadows. It is covert, not overt. Sure, you can get in more fruitless arguments. But trying to convince people they are wrong is a loser's game. No one wants to be wrong. They will merely become defensive. A better tactic is to pretend to agree with them, but subtly point out problems with their position, e.g. by asking questions (in a pondering manner, not confrontational). If they belive you are "on their side", the power of persuasion can be massive.

Feminism is all about creating a double bind. And at a interpersonal level, individual women's shit tests are rooted in a similar purpose. Failing a shit test is really a failure to recognize and confront the double bind.

/u/disposable_pants answered for me, and is pretty dead on. The author argues 1) that drinking while pregnant is not really dangerous, and 2) that women being warned about drinking is "oppression".

Men are the gatekeepers of commitment. The moment she thinks she's "caught" you, she'll start to lose interest. Mark my words. Women desire men that other women want. You want to keep her attention, then keep the abundance mentality. Even in an LTR. Don't let her think you're "all hers" no matter what. She can never completely "catch" you ... the chase never ends.

Hypothetical question: What if, in such situations, the state forcibly garnished all the mom's food, and/or sold off all her possessions, in order to give food directly to the child?

But someone needs to do it. Why? If a woman is legally able to abort the child, then why does someone need to support it if she doesn't. In both cases, it dies ... how is the end result different?

Yeah, Roosh is an idiot, and mostly interested in shameless self-promotion. Even the guys over at SoSauve think so these days. There is a reason that ROK is not on the sidebar. Also, this shit happened last year, which was pretty much the final split between TRP and Roosh. Roosh is not a red piller, never really was. People trying to blame us for the nonsense he often says/does is just pure strawman fallacy.

Her initial question to you was a test, to see how thirsty you were, how socially adept ... to test your "game". Your blunt response was lacking. A better response would have been something nonchalant, then a pressure flip, something along the lines of: "I'm just looking to have some fun. What, you don't have fun anymore?"

One my first submissions to TRP back a year ago or so was about this topic. What is now called TRP essentially grew out of the PUA scene ... in particular the work and writing of Anti-dump and Pook over at SoSuave back around 1998-2004. Heartiste and Rollo and others frequented those forums, back before they were known bloggers. Some of the earliest MGTOWs also were emerging around the same time. None of the TRP/MGTOW terms were really used then though, they emerged over time. Now, that's where …

That depends on what you define as "superior". For instance, perhaps the 5% of dogs that can learn new commands in fewer than 5 repetitions also tend to be more anxious and neurotic. So are they "superior"? That's a tough question.

The exception to the rule does not invalidate the rule. If something is true 95% of the time, then it serves as a useful heuristic for understanding the way the world works. For instance, dogs have 4 legs. There are some dogs who only have 3 legs, either through injury or birth defect. But that doesn't make the statement "dogs have 4 legs" untrue, nor "ridiculously false".

This is sort of right, but you can simplify it.

You clearly have a very limited understanding of TRP. One of our core tenets is: Women are not the goal of life ... they are merely a by-product of a life well-lived. Regardless, this whole post is concern trolling. I'm sure it will be removed shortly. In the meantime: READ THE SIDEBAR.

While this is a great lesson in AWALT, we should also realize this is a great lesson as to what happens to a man who loses frame. From the article: I became involved with James with Daniel’s blessing. Even when I began to sleep over regularly, Daniel was more than fine with it. He told me that he loved James and was happy for the two of them to share me. Daniel was going through a breakdown, I would later discover. He was having problems in many areas of his life—not just our marriage—and I didn…

Paternity testing is illegal in many countries in Europe, as well as Israel, without a court order. In other places, it is legal, but only with the consent of both supposed parents. So if the mother refuses, you cannot legally do it.

From a random poster, I would not disagree with you. But I think we should expect more balanced posts from the mods. They are on the sub everyday. They are well aware of the alternative viewpoints, well aware of the conflicting data (e.g. about rape). Well aware of the conflicting sources. For a mod to make such a biased post on a debate sub is disappointing. They are either being blatantly biased, or just lazy. They know better. That is why it is low quality.

The issue is not that I disagree with it. From a random poster it would be fine. But from a mod, it's a low quality post. The purpose of this sub is to promote debate.

Nope. According to actual data released by Harvard University this year, even if you assume only 20% of people report rapes, the figure is less than 1% of women are sexually assualted.

Only someone who's never known true sacrifice would find personal victimhood in someone else's sacrifice. When we let the weak use their weakness as a form of power, we all become more impoverished for it. When we no longer respect true strength and skill, when we elevate others to the same status despite the lack thereof, we do not gain strength as a group. We gain mediocrity. Ironically, the same principle applies to personal relationships just as much as society at large. Hence, TRP.

Interesting thought. We may be splitting hairs here though.

We are not saying 80% of the men don't get any sex, we are saying that 20% of the men have the vast majority of the sexual access. The other 80% are getting the scraps. Probably gets worse for men down in the bottom 20% too. If you assume the self-report biases I mention above are true (and use some very rough math), then for people 20-24, roughly 4% of women have had no sexual partners lifetime, while roughl…

This is all self-reported data. Women typically under-report their counts, men typically over-report them. For instance: This Simple Mathematical Formula Proves That We Lie About Sex You can read the scientific journal article linked within from Microbiome. The general rule at TRP is that men on average over-report their number of partners by a factor of 2, and women under-report them by a factor of 3. In other words, whatever she says in terms of n-count, it's probably 3 times that. In short, w…

Except men can be objectified for their looks as well, only to a lesser extent. I do not disagree with that. However, I think even attractive men are judged as status objects. A really attractive man with no status is like a really accomplished but ugly woman.

As TRP says: Women are sex objects ... Men are status objects. Women are objectified for their looks, their sexual attractiveness. Men are just as equally objectified for their utility ... their resources, money, car, house, strength, work ethic, etc. etc. A man who has no utility is viewed as worthless by women and society at large. He is seen as weak, unmanly. A failure. It's not a double standard - it's just a different standard.

Just cause a man consents to sex, doesn't mean he consented to raise a child. That'd be like saying that just cause a woman consented to foreplay, that she consented to sex. Sure, one is sometimes the natural consequence of the other ... but as Feminists like to say "a person should be able to withdraw consent at any point". Fair is fair.

Dicks hold no inherent value to women. Sex is readily available at all times for her and whatever reason she’s chosen for sleeping with you can easily be exhausted.

None of that is true in the United States. Violent crime and murders are actually much higher than they were 50 years ago. There was a huge upsurge during the rise of feminism during the late 20th century. http://www.disastercenter.com/crime/uscrime.htm We've seen a little drop off since 1990, mainly due to more police and tighter sentencing guidelines.

Boys like him used to have strong male role models, who could help them learn to respond to situations like those. To grow into a man. But feminists have mostly destroyed all the bastions of healthy masculinity. Instead, we socialize young boys to behave more like women.

This wider distribution among men is true for a variety of physical traits, including intelligence. There are more really tall men and really short men.

We don't really give a shit what subredditdrama or any other sub has to say about us. You are experiencing the SJW/feminist shame game at the moment. It is what happens when someone threatens to expose the feminine imperative that underlies the movement, and female sexual strategy. You are threatening their power and control.

This is actually very close to TRP's position on the subject. The thing that binds us at TRP is a rejection of the victim mentality that is so pervasive in modern culture. Expecting people (women included) to take responsibility for their own actions is NOT misogynistic. It's just common sense. TRP: the radical idea that women are just people, capable of all the bad and all the evil just the same as men.

Your question seems to focus on how you behave, when really your focus should be on what you elicit in him. At TRP, we often tell new guys that in order to attract a woman and keep her around, you must take her on an emotional rollercoaster. Give her the feelz. Make her tingle. A woman, above all else, wants to feel. She connects with the world through her emotional experience of it. In the same vein, if you want to attract a man, you must use your feminine traits to elicit his masculine nature.…

At the end of the day, TRP is really about protecting ourselves as men. All the Blue Pill conditioning is really about making us easier to manipulate, in the sexual marketplace and beyond. We spend our lives walking around apologizing for shit, e.g. who we are or how we think or simply the fact of being born a man. We walk away not because we are assholes, but because we stand up for ourselves. If they are angry at us, it is because we make no apologies for it. It's all a bunch of bullshit.

Self-respect, from a TRP perspective, is about boundaries. It is not about imposing yourself, or your will, on others. It is not about forcing others to do what you want, nor about feeling entitled to things by virtue of simply who you are. No. Self-respect, the TRP way, is about being willing to walk away at any moment, if someone crosses the boundaries you set.

Amazon makes massive amounts of revenue (it's one of the largest tech companies around by that measure), and deliberately holds back earnings in order to reinvest in the company. That is a long-term growth strategy ... and many would argue (especially in the boom/bust world of tech), a smart one. Amazon is currently worth $20 billion more than Walmart.

Don't get me wrong, there are are many downsides to Amazon's approach, and not all of it is red pill. I lectured about it for several years.

This is an interesting idea, and may have some merit. I will say that the TRP notion that love flows downward - men love women, women love children, and children loves puppies - fits into that. There is something attractive about a woman who looks up to us, something that feels very natural. I think the "war prize" mentality explains a lot of male behavior, from sports to business.

It's ridiculous to argue that evolution affected every part of human biology, but that the brain and its psychological mechanisms were somehow spared of this. It makes about as much sense as arguing that the universe revolves around the earth or that humans were created by some supreme being. Arguing with feminists or blue pillers about evo-psych feels strangely like arguing with creationists about evolution.

Men lead, women follow. They evolved to support, not to blaze the trail. They are best when they are at our side, allowed to be what they naturally are. By leading, you give them the freedom to become who they were truly meant to be. They will love you for it. And they will fuck you for it.

They are. But not destroying monogamy, rather altering it. Women still need/want the beta bucks provider.

Societal monogamy was really beneficial for all the subservient beta men, and their ruling elite. Because it (at least partially) kept the female imperative in check, and ensured that most men would have some sort of sexual access, which makes them less likely to get uppity or rebel. Keeps them working, providing resources for the community. It's why monogamy has long been a pillar of social stability in human cultures. Of course, they can always cheat with an alpha even in a monogamous situatio…

There is a reason for this cognitive disconnect - it shouldn't surprise any of us.

Actually, a lot of prenups are being superseded by judges' concerns over the "well-being of the children." So coercion isn't necessary to prove in many cases. Any contract that violates other laws, or endangers people (especially vulnerable populations like children) is subject to being thrown out as null and void.

A judge at any point can declare a contract null and void if he/she sees grounds for it. It's all interpretation.

Anger is a healthy emotion, at times. It's your body telling you something is wrong. Listen to it, use it. But eventually you must move past it. The key is to replace your old Blue Pill dreams with new ones, dreams NOT defined by what others want or expect.

The hardest part of the Depression and Acceptance stages are feeling like all your dreams are dead. For what is a man without dreams or aspirations? Nothing more than a shell of himself. No, you can still dream. You must replace your old Blue Pill dreams with new ones. Ones defined by the challenges a man faces in life, the failures he may endure, and the successes he will find by overcoming. That is the TRP way. That is the way of men. You can still love ... it's just that no woman will ever lo…

Yeah, casting off that "victim mentality" you've been raised your whole life with is a tough transition. But at the same time, you're right, we can't treat them with kid gloves.

The one commonality that we all share at TRP is the rejection of "victim mentality". Feminists embrace it, are defined by it ... perpetual victimhood. The reality is that we could all claim being victims of something or some one ... we've all had our share of disadvantages or misfortune. There is always someone out there who has it better than you, someone who has it worse. We can let that define us, blame others for our problems, or we can choose to raise ourselves up.

Typically after the Anger stage, you'll enter a period of Bargaining and Depression. The Red Pill is a bitter pill to swallow, and even after the Anger stage that butter taste lingers. You should start to integrate TRP mindset into your daily life, but it won't feel completely natural ... your mindset takes a while to completely shift. Most importantly, remember that it is not a linear process, you will move back and forth even to the Anger and Denial stages at times. It's more like a spiral. Wh…

It's important to distinguish things being different from things being better. Just cause things are different, doesn't necessarily imply that one is better than the other.

Women too. I know white women who don't like blacks. Blacks who don't like hispanics. And so on. It's endless. The important thing is that we don't conflate honest criticism with prejudice.

TRP is the radical notion that women are people ... capable of all the good and all the evil that men are. Society and feminism have no problem villainizing men. But pointing out anything bad about women is hate speech now, is it? Sounds like Blue Pillers don't like the taste of their own medicine.

I think they have an inkling, but I also suspect many modern women have a very limited understanding of what men want or need, beyond the caricature that we are simply sex-crazed brutes.

But the 1960's and beyond unleashed women's feral natures, their hypergamous instincts.

I think a lot red pillers are probably moderates politically. There's a tendency in TRP towards common sense and pragmatism. That doesn't tend to be a hallmark of extreme political ideologies - they tend to focus on victimhood, blaming others (e.g. rich people, men, big government) for all your problems.

All available space was not taken. Although yes, Calhoun himself did suggest that was the issue, but clearly it was not. The population didn't even make it to 75% of the maximum carrying capacity. So clearly that is not an explanation. What did happen was a breakdown of normal social roles, and females having an unlimited supply of resources, which broke down the normal pair mating that occurs in mice populations.

Nope, you can read the original papers of you want. For instance, during one of the experiments, the carrying capacity was 3,000, but the mice population topped out at 2,200 ... over 25% below maximum.

The mice never actually reached carrying capacity in any of the experiments, i.e. not overcrowding. That was what was so shocking about the results. Rather, population decline was triggered by changes in social behavior, overly aggressive females in a resource-unlimited environment (where they no longer needed male provisioning assistance) and a feminization of males, leading to a withdrawal of males from normal mating behaviors (called "The beautiful ones"). Females later started abandoning the…

The key part is really understanding that even if you "get the hot girl", she is not "yours". She is just yours for a while. And happiness can't be built on expectations otherwise. All relationships will end, either thru departure or death or something else. Like everything else in life, they are ephemeral. Things come and go. You cannot hold them. You cannot possess them. They were there for a time, but they were never yours. Value the time you had, but never put anything on a pedestal.

There's a lot of great advice in this thread, just thought I might add this: One day you will be old, maybe in a nursing home or whatever, not so mobile, etc., and you will look back fondly on your younger days when you were so busy, so full of life. It sounds to me like you are living life to the fullest, and while that may seem overwhelming at times, it is not an opportunity everyone has. All that pressure means you are needed. You bring value to the world and those around you. Embrace that. L…

I think it's important to note that while we aren't feminists (equal outcomes), we aren't eugenics folks either . TRP are equal opportunists. 100% of men should have the opportunity to reproduce. But only a portion of them will (i.e. NOT equal outcomes). Who reproduces is decided via competition. It shouldn't be pre-determined (i.e. NOT eugenics). This is why TRP focuses on self-improvement and self-mastery. It's part of the bigger picture. It's good for the individual, it's good for society. Yo…

Karen Straughan knows her shit. She also does a good job of explaining a lot of Red Pill ideas from a very different perspective than what you normally see on here (admittedly she's more of a MRA of course).

Exactly. There is a lack of empirical evidence for most feminist positions, which is conveniently glossed over by most feminists and society-at-large. I once challenged a feminist on their concept of patriarchy. Feminists can't even agree on the meaning of the word, let alone run studies that prove its existence. Yet it forms the core of many of their arguments. Many other examples of course. Feminism is mostly conceptual, it's arguments mainly philosophical. The feminist came back with some sup…

That "victim mentality" is unfortunately ubiquitous in our modern era, almost a religion unto itself. Really, Feminism needs to be replaced by some philosophy that emphasizes the personal responsibility that comes with freedom. That a focus on self-improvement and self-mastery are critical. That one's unbridled feral nature is as much a cage as any other. TRP is such a philosophy.

in men, this independence is not just a novelty, but it’s been distorted into being an obsessive-compulsive sign of a man’s imagined insecurities.

For the vast majority of civilized human history, marriage was more of an economic or business arrangement.

The issue is that modern day feminism in its current form is neither good for men or women. Men are not happy. Moreover, women aren’t either. I think the difference is that men were quicker to feel the negative effects, particularly the Millenial generation that is just now reaching their 20's and 30's. And as more and more men unplug and/or remove themselves from the marriage market (also this source), it only exacerbates things for women. But women are starting to see through the illusions we'…

It is not necessary to tear someone else down in order to raise yourself up. We have a word for that approach - it's called feminism. Men are a brotherhood. Or at least those who see the world through a red pill lens. True, we compete against each other. But competition should breed respect.

The other option is to run low-level dread from the start. Make it clear you have other options, remain aloof. Relationships are transactional. There is something we want.

I think it is in most men's nature to be protective of women, and of course social conditioning only reinforces that, almost to an abusive degree in the modern era. Pedestalize women.

Humans natural life span in the wild is only about 35 years. Modern medicine and science of course allow us to live much longer.

Silence really is golden. Cannot emphasize that enough, especially in the face of shit tests. Too many men are enchanted by "the magic of action." We are doers after all, it is in our nature. But if you do nothing, say nothing, you avoid the trap of doing/saying the wrong thing. You have to be the rock. Let her storms rage around you. Don't react, at all. Or at most act amused. Reacting only plays into the game. Understanding that takes the onus off of you, and puts it on her. Which is where it …

Nice post. I think your emphasis on boundaries really provides a good theoretical connection to the science of psychology and interpersonal relationships. They've been saying similar stuff about boundaries for years. I think where TRP really diverges is in how we interpret what boundaries are. That they are tied to our self worth, so that strong boundaries require an emphasis on self-improvement. In contrast, alot of what we've been told by social conditioning is really about having weak boundar…

Social conditioning and disney-esque fantasy ideals of love have convinced many modern men that "women are the fairer sex, pure, made of sugar and spice, and everything nice." A woman slept with 20 men? Well it must not be her fault, she was used. Or maybe she was empowered, independent, you go girl! No worries, we'll find an excuse, one way or the other. A woman cannot be to blame, for she is "virtue and purity rolled into one". She just needs a white knight to save her. TRP is all about callin…

I like being outdoors, camping, backpacking, that kind of stuff. I've always liked it when a girl was into similar stuff. The key though is still to maintain your feminine element, e.g. don't start wearing flannel or dressing like a lumberjack or stop shaving your legs etc. You can be outdoorsy or woodsy and still be cute, still have that feminine charm. Men want women who are feminine, whose polarity complements their own. Beyond that, there is room for variability.

This really is a key point. You must always maintain some level of detachment in any relationship. You must always be willing to walk away. If you find this mindset hard to adopt, just remember the following: All relationships will end, either thru departure or death or something else. Like everything else in life, they are ephemeral. Things come and go. You cannot hold them. You cannot possess them. They were there for a time, but they were never yours. Value the time you had, but never put any…

90% of healthcare costs (at least in the U.S.) are from chronic illnesses, not acute things that might affect "healthy" individuals. Someone living 20 years with diabetes will cost more than a "healthy" person who lives 30 years. All that said, the vast majority of elderly people have at least one chronic illness. Lifestyle choices, like long-term obesity, simply exacerbate them. Retirement costs in general are a whole 'nother problem of course.

The problem is, given the communal sharing of healthcare costs in most Westernized nations, that we as a society bear the burden when these people develop diabetes and/or other obesity-related illnesses later in life. Sure, it may be harder for a few of them to lose weight (due to genetics or whatever), but that is no excuse.

A women's number one priority is to be desired. That comes in various forms, but sexually desired is one of them.

They all hamster that we all want to fuck them all the time, even the ugly and fat ones. That they are in control. As such, refusing sex with them strikes right at the core of their own self-image…

There is probably truth in what you are both saying. The real question is: do egalitarian movements ever lead to truly egalitarian societies? I think history tells us "not usually", often we end up with some form of oligarchy. Egalitarian movements in that sense are perhaps part of the natural fluidity of hierarchies. Power shifts, in short. A rigid hierarchy never lasts. But neither does a lack of social structure.

I think it's broader than "teaching women not to lie about rape." They need to be held accountable for their actions, their choices.

In humans, more boys are actually born than females, about 1.07 boys for every 1 girl (this). There is excess male mortality in virtually all mammal species.

Sure, given any dataset one could postulate multiple explanations. One of the possible explanations of that study though is hypergamy. The problem with the "men being more likely to die before breeding age" is that there is no evidence for that in the fossil record (at least not at anything near a 17 to 1 ratio). Hypergamy, whether natural or coerced, is the more plausible explanation. Either way, the data is incredible. It's hard to fathom how 16 other men were standing around letting one male …

You'd have to do a longer term study that actually tracks individuals over time. Not give them a survey about their current relationship.

Men are naturally polygamous. We want as many females as we can. Sure, if they are more attractive, that's even better. Women are naturally hypergamous.
