Yeesh... TFW stalemate of step 2 is halfway through its second decade. Nicely written post though, OP.

You might rephrase your question. Any of these criteria exists on a scale. 100% of people can respond "yes" or "no" to this in perfect honesty purely based on perspective.

I don't have any advice, just coming here to note she's not wearing that to attract other men, _directly_. She's doing it to establish her status among the friends she's going to the club with, and the other females at the club. The argument can be made that the entire clubwear hierarchy is ultimately to attract mates to begin with, but that's a secondary downstream effect. Every stitch of clothing has been selected because it accentuates (or downplays) something relative to the other girls she'…

The "zero-sum" fallacy is a favorite of mine, although it's hard to articulate the practical application outside of economics. Basically the idea that for you to have something means someone else has to go without. The idea that there's just one static pie we all fight for pieces of, when the truth is that productivity and creativity increases the size of the pie overall.

OldFag here and won't opine on your dilemma, but feel like sharing a related perspective... My marriage predates FB/social media by decades. Had I known my wife would turn out to be the kind of broad that reads anything into rando comments/likes on FB I'd have never stuck with her. My band (yes oldfag is in a band) plays show, some chick I don't even know posts pics and tags me. Next thing I hear is, "So who's so-and-so, huh?" Fucking what? Really? Are we in fucking high school? We have grown ch…

You can't push string. Everything is a dick joke. Everything. Learn to cook You may know some stuff. Hopefully you realize you mostly don't know shit yet. Some stuff you know even though people say you're naive/ignorant/misinformed/just plain wrong. Some of that stuff you're 100% right about so don't give an inch on it. No there's no trick to figuring out which is which.

You're having trouble because you've got the problem backwards. Rather than searching for what fires a passion for you, pick what's interesting to you and commit to it. One way to narrow this down is to go to a bookstore with a large magazine selection. Find periodicals/magazines on the subjects you're curious about, ones you're content to page through while standing. Might be the pictures, might be the ads, might just be the way the thing is designed and laid out; but something about it will gr…

"faithful to a fault" Woof - I know that sad tune all too well. To be honest I wish my old lady would cheat or at least show some sense of wanting to be attractive at all anymore. At some point biology just tells women, "Yeah, you're done now. Find some nice TV shows to binge and wear a dent in the couch." She's long given up and while I'm well enough in control of my own shit, I'm not about to crater the family over it. Yet, anyways.

If you truly want to be out of your mother's you'd be so busy hustling work you'd only be crashing there anyway. I hear the tone and exasperation in what you've written. I think the tone says it all; the words are just decoration. Join the military. You won't have to figure shit out until you're able. Show up and follow directions; you won't have a choice anyway.

Not sure just what happiness is supposed to signify, but the most I ever felt immersed in purpose and confidence was after a set at a medium size club, opening for someone; Zeke I think it was. We had a perfect set in front of a packed room. Me and my partner in leading this project - he sang and played bass, I played drums - looked at each other for a brief moment while tearing down, almost involuntarily shook hands and said "success" at the same time. It was transcendent.

Maybe they're for people who otherwise wouldn't think of things they could or want to improve on? I used to feel similarly about the lottery - just a tax on the poor and ignorant. Then I realized it gives people a prompting to consider possibilities beyond their current limitations, and that's probably a good thing.

Going on 18 years married here. The wife and I came to a number of conclusions about marriage, men, women, relationships; and the culture surrounding them on our own. At first, both of us were unconsciously and partially what you'd consider of a "red pill" mindset. As we've matured, we've discovered the validity of most of this line of thinking. We were pleasantly surprised to discover a community of like-minded thinking coalescing. FWIW, I didn't discover these ideas until much too late in life…

Doesn't matter if it's a dream job working for your best friend or a complete shit show - it's always the same line. Pick the day two weeks from when you'll give notice. On the day you give notice you state in very simple terms, "<date two weeks into future> will be my last day." They'll freak out or not, get bummed or not, try to change your mind or not. Doesn't matter. You state what you're going to do, giving them sufficient notice like a considerate professional, and let them react how they …

Oldfag here. Others will have better suggestions than I in terms of actions to take. Consider this, though - Think of a man who was wrongly imprisoned during the prime years of his life and by some means his innocence has been revealed and he's been set free. Not that uncommon of a story, really. What would you expect his attitude to be? What actions would he take? Would he curl up in defeat and depression, or would he take those first steps into the light with a plan and a spring in his step?

This season a new team joined the bowling league at my local. All great par bowlers, but as trailer park white trash as they come. At least three of them bring their wives and babies with them. It's a men's league. Babies. At a bowling alley. At night. Like most "big truths" about gender roles and society, it's pointless to bring this up or attempt to make them understand how inappropriate this is. One of those, "if I have to explain it you wouldn't understand" things. Drives me nuts. Also to th…

Recently on vacation, I was waiting in line behind a girl maybe 15 or so. Obviously blessed by nature; perfect figure, skin, pretty face, etc; yet for some reason had failed yet to master speech. She was obviously spoiled and pampered to such a degree she couldn't be bothered to pronounce consonants clearly, let alone speak in complete sentences.

I didn't say they don't lose their looks, I said if she lets herself go. We get old. Looks fade. To me a woman letting herself go means giving up on her physical appetites and resigning to turn into a frump. My wife is pushing 50. She's still hot as fuck. Not because of her looks, which were above average to begin with, but because she still has an engaged and imaginative dirty mind and knows how to behave and present herself to remain attractive.

When everyone is honest with each other about these things; when the woman can admit to the man that she'll leave if he's a failure, and the man can admit to the woman he'll lose attraction if she lets herself go, everyone is happier and better off.

My father taught me to drive a semi, the proper way to tackle and throw a block in football, and how to throw a ball properly; but all those things you mention I taught myself. And this was several decades before youtube. (Yes, Oldfag here.) You figure it out by investigation, trial, and error. What's the line about good judgment? It comes from experience, which comes from bad judgment.

Is one not permitted to admire in the abstract a tendency or trait separate from the man or their other traits, tendencies, actions? I'm not begging the question here, nor posing a trap; I'm legitimately concerned it may not be "okay" to take that much liberty with clinically deconstructing human behavior.

Seems like one of the more valuable RP insights is the lack of logical correlation between womens' rationalizations on what they find attractive versus how they actually respond biologically.

Gotta take it a step further. What if it's even more instinctive than subconsciously understood? We are applying choice to this behavior after the fact, as if there's some strategic value for women in convincing men of this. But the sentiment reflected in those three little words (just be yourself) could very well be far more base and instinctive on the female's part; for the reasons already well-documented elsewhere, such as making betas easier to identify, for instance.

Sadly I now work in an environment that you could equate to a tech startup, with a significant academic exposure. Everyone is a slob with the exception of a small handful of younger females. The motivation to iron a crease in a pair of slacks is nil.

I did this for years as a reaction to "casual Fridays" when that first started to be a thing. A large cube farm filled with shlubs in khakis and golf shirts overjoyed at the privilege to wear their mom jeans for a day. Was depressing and pathetic. Instituted Formal Fridays where I'd wear at least a tie and jacket if not a suit. You can imagine the amount of harassment I received. One other fella was with me for a couple weeks then gave up.

People in tech are oblivious, period. Have worked across the full spectrum of society, from becoming intimately familiar with everyone from ghetto shop-rat, the music business, to the trades to medicine to ivory tower IT operations for enterprise-scale business. The most socially retarded and off-balance people I've known have been medical doctors and high-skill IT folk. Some kind of cognitive trade-off necessary to develop that deep of a skill set or something.

There was none. The best metaphor I can craft to describe it is discovering you're being pinched all over by a thousand clothespins. One gets knocked away, and the pain of release is greater than the pressure it imposed, but only for awhile. Then you notice the one next to it, and knock it away. Same sensation, intense pain for awhile, then relief. The more you knock away, the more are revealed. I'm not sure I've gotten to them all yet, and I'm what you'd call "old" now.

That trope is an unfortunate distillation of standard regret at wasted time. "Work" is your purpose. What that regret is really saying is "I spent too much time at jobs I didn't care about." I think it's really regret of a lifetime of risk-aversion and cowardice.

In regards to your list, what I've found with my sons (10 and 12) is that in matters such as this they tune me out completely with one exception. In situations where they've invested themselves emotionally in something and failed to the point of actively seeking assistance. Only then are they willing recipients of this kind of advice.

The problem with "ought to be" is that implies "to whom" and "according to what set of values." Not to dismiss its relevance; because I think the argument can be made that the genetic imperatives that drive both sexes are the purest manifestation of "ought." (The world ought to be populated with my offspring, for example.) I guess what I'm saying is I see the abstractions of "ought" falling outside the scope of TRP's umbrella.

It's a shame, because I see how amazing they've become; having grown up with an Atari 2600 (Pitfall, Asteroids, et al.) I marvel at the games my sons are playing on their ps3, but when they ask me to sit down and play with them, I can go for maybe 20 minutes at a time before I get bored with it.

I'm old enough that drafting was considered a skilled trade right alongside machinist or auto mechanic and there was a significant series of drafting classes in high school. CAD was just starting to creep into the curriculum, but only the seniors that had been in drafting for years got to do it. I took drafting for several years.

I'm tempted blame Maximum Rock and Roll, at least for the streak of socialism that pervades later American Hardcore. They somehow acquired dominant fanzine market share in the early 80s, and spread an especially leftist political bent throughout the burgeoning US underground. To defy or disregard their leftward political agenda was to self-exile as some kind of fascist or Nazi. If you weren't red you were either a skinhead or a poseur.

FWIW I've had a similar experience and result. Much of the criteria and conditions differ, but I'm detecting some of the same feels. The biggest trick I had to learn was that whenever I'm feeling resentment towards my wife for her actions or decisions or how they've affected me, what I'm really feeling is my own childish impulse to blame the external for my own state of mind.

My experience with weed was that it would pretty reliably interrupt whatever was short-circuiting mentally causing a negative feedback loop. Interestingly my experience was almost the inverse of yours. In its absence, the self-criticism could be crippling. It quieted those ruminations, replacing them with focus on music and other distractions.

Didn't know I had "depression" for most my life. Self-medicated with weed for years. Examined things closer and figured it out. Saw a shrink, which was bullshit. Got proscribed pills, which were awful. Never again. Ignored doctor's advice and started training. (bad knees and back from car accident in the 90s) Was a bittersweet discovery that was the problem all along. Just needed to exert myself more. Still get dark now and then, but I know what it is and it's got little power over me anymore.
