"If only I had __ then I'd be happy!" First it was the education, then the career, now it's the husband, what will be next? You can choose to be happy now, or let happiness always be one step ahead of you. Nothing and nobody can make you feel happy and fulfilled, that's something you build for yourself.

You do what all women do: get a haircut, hit the gym, put on your cutest going out top and spend time with your lady friends. You pull it together and focus on yourself because you've only known this guy 6 weeks and you haven't even slept with him yet (right? Right). If he asks for another date, you can say no. Or you can say you're looking for commitment and he's not it. Or you can say you're busy but keep the door open. It's up to you but don't give a man you've known only 6 weeks the satisfac…

We end up with people who are similar to ourselves. Just relax, be your best self, and be approachable. It's not very kind to think a guy "below" your league should be flattered or grateful for your attentions. In the end, we're most comfortable with people who are like us.

You're just not going to click with every guy you meet. It's frustrating and tempting to blame yourself (what's wrong with me????) and it's tempting to blame them (what's wrong with them????) but that's not how relationships work. Think of your close friends...are you close because you're the perfect friend who does everything right, or because your personalities and interests mesh well together? You don't need to be perfect, you just need to find the man who's perfect for you. In the meantime, …

As an alumunus you should still have access to your school's career center. Making an appointment to discuss your career options could be a good start.

Then you might need to clarify that engagement means a ring, a date, and a deposit on a venue (or whatever criteria you feel comfortable with) and that you won't move in before that. It's not an exchange, where you do this and demand concessions in return, it's setting appropriate personal boundaries.

Have you asked him how long an engagement he envisions? If he says something like 2-3 years, then it might be better to decline moving in. You don't want your resentment to sour the relationship.

Im very sceptical he's actually working/commuting 15 hours every night and that they had to move to a new town for that privilege. What is he really doing with his time? I know that's not the point of your post but it's hard to maintain a relationship with someone who's never home.

What can you hold back besides sex and domestic skills? Time. Time is valuable. An American cubicle worker might only get two weeks vacation per year. The more time you spend with a man supporting him, the less time you have to develop yourself and further your personal goals.

I think as a girlfriend: You still make LOTS of plans without him. It's not a given that you will spend all weekends/holidays/vacations together. You take initiative on dates roughly equally. If he takes you out for dinner Saturday, you cook for him Monday. You still go on dates, it's not all time spent at home. You don't make big sacrifices for him, like following him to another country. Only clean if you helped make the mess. (If you're living together, it's different, but if you pay half the …

It's not about pleasing a random man you've known for two months or 10 dates, it's about knowing yourself and respecting your boundaries. If you need to be in a committed relationship before sex, then wait until then. If you have other criteria, honor that. Never compromise your values. Nobody will respect you if you can't respect yourself.

There's nothing you can do about the women at work, but your boyfriend can do something. He should be shutting those women down and not contacting them outside of work unless its 100% business related. It's not your job to prevent him from cheating, that's his job. Accepting the flirtations of other women would be a deal breaker for me.

You sound very insecure in this relationship. I think a big part of that's on you, and how you mentioned elsewhere that you struggle with low self-esteem. But part of that's on him, not shutting down flirtatious women at work and not acknowledging how disrespectful that is to you, and refusing to discuss a marriage timeline. Are you both willing to work on this? Because both of you need to acknowledge this as an issue and figure out solutions.

What should you avoid? Shopping hauls and designer logos. Nobody needs to know you bought yet another Michael Kors bag. Endless restaurant meal pics. Just eat your Applebee's dinner. Adding men. Make him ask for your phone number, don't add him on Snapchat. Selfies and a new profile pic every week.

It's old-fashioned but I think you should wait until you love the other person or at least feel a strong emotional attachment very close to love. Hopefully sex is an expression of your feelings rather than a lure to keep a man interested. A lot of good men won't wait for those feelings to develop, that's fine. You don't need 20 men chasing after you, just ONE man who respects your values.

I might disagree with her conclusion, but I think it's so important to acknowledge that "mental load" and view it as real work. I see a lot of men come to RPW and minimize maintaining a home and family as just cooking, cleaning, and babysitting. It's a lot more than that and it's a role to take pride in.

Cheated on his ex-wife Had just broken up with his fiancee Expressed his disagreement with me in a sneering, condescending way that was belittling.

Some day you will look back and be glad things didn't progress with these guys, because you will have found someone more compatible, someone who shares all your goals and values and interests. I won't use the word "soulmate", but somebody who connects with you more deeply than shared TV shows and similar IQs. The whole process can be very discouraging, so take care of yourself. Vet, vet, vet, and vet again before giving a man your heart!

I feel like you're saying "those things are just personality traits, they don't provide real value!" while the women here are explaining how they do. "Good listener". People with masters' degrees charge 150$/hr for basically this service and call it counseling. And they find customers because your friends? They're just waiting for their turn to talk.

You're the average of the men that pursue a relationship with you (note, not the ones that just want to sleep with you). The couples I know in real life are all roughly equal in looks, socioeconomic backgrounds, intelligence, etc.

All of this. It's 2017, a woman can get a job, buy her own house, mow her own lawn, and pay somebody to change the oil in her car. A man can do his own laundry and order take out. They benefit from complementary social/emotional roles, not sheer utility.

The same as men offer women: true partnership. If one person is sick, the other takes care of them. If one is unable to work, the other will pay the bills. If one dies, the other will take care of the kids, if there are any. All the work in life and all the knowledge needed to navigate life successfully can be split between two people. Their strengths make up for your weaknesses, and vice versa.

Being a good wife and mother are worthy goals, but you're deluding yourself if you think it's an escape from the stress and pressures of the world. After being woken up twice at night to clean up vomit, or dealing with a day full of screaming tantrums, or cleaning up poop smeared on walls, or having food thrown in your face, many parents find it a relief to go to an office and deal with calm, rational adults and be able to eat a hot meal without interruption.

Basically, you would take responsibility if you could....but you have an excuse not to. You will always have this problem and nothing will ever change until you can admit wrongdoing and work at it. It's ok to have flaws, none of us are perfect. To say "shyness" and a touch of awkwardness are your only flaws is completely delusional and immature.

You are constantly spinning the story to blame the men and avoid taking any personal responsibility. It's not clarifying the situation, it's a sign of emotional immaturity and insecurity. A 29 year old woman with the emotional intelligence of a 19 year old is not attractive. You have a problem. You post here and get dozens of good suggestions. But none of them are actionable because you choose to see yourself as a victim and not a capable adult woman. If you don't take control of your life and o…

So many people are suggesting you cut down your social media use...your insistence that you can't/won't is painful. The older you get, the more unattractive it is to quality men. You align yourself with thirsty 19 year old girls instead of dignified women. Regularly snapchatting about your awesome, busy life counterintuitively makes you seem overly available and bored. And as you know, it's how frivolous men try to sleep with you. You're almost 29, 30 next year, and heavy social media use across…

They don't sound like orbiters, they sound like men you slept with after 6-8 weeks without commitment and they're​ hoping for more casual sex. The key to getting rid of them is not to sleep with them in the first place.

Nobody gets married and has kids thinking "I hope one day we'll get divorced and I'll be a single mom/dad!" But life happens and there are a large number of single parents (male and female) and their job is incredibly difficult. The kind thing to do is not judge them or criticize them... because karma sucks and you too might be a single parent some day.

I see SMV as the qualities that attract men and draw them in, and RMV as the ones that make them stick around and respect you as relationship material. A cute, flirty attitude is attractive to men but it's not what's going to make him think "I want this woman to be the mother of my children!"
/r/RedPillWomen08/05/17 05:06 PM

SMV is more than sexiness. It's a demeanor that's fun, flirty, playful, feminine, happy, inviting. If you're at a party, it's the woman having a good time with friends, not the one scowling in the corner, scrolling on her phone. I doubt your appearance is an issue, it could be your approachability.

RMV sounds simple (be supportive, kind, agreeable!) but is incredibly hard to put in to practice. It's easier to fly off the handle when someone makes you mad, instead of exercising patience. Easier to keep your home a sloppy mess, than be organized. Easier to pass on juicy gossip, than show self-restraint. Easier to ignore a shy, quiet person rather than graciously include them and make them feel comfortable. Generosity, humility, loyalty, selflessness, empathy, resilience - these aren't develo…

I was going to ask why you were looking at and discussing his hookups (you don't need to know that stuff!) when I saw your post about your mother gifting you implants as a graduation gift. Set yourself a difficult goal and work your ass off to achieve it. Doesn't matter what the goal is, the work, just as much as the achievement, will build your self confidence. You have worth outside of your appearance!

This is how dating/vetting works. You flirt. He asks you on a date. You get to know each other better, see if you are compatible. It's how you separate men looking for serious commitment vs. looking for fun times. You can't just jump to the serious commitment part before the flirting part.

What commitment? There's no financial commitment, they have no assets and no kids. There's no public commitment, so no public embarrasment in front of family and friends if they get divorced. There's no private commitment because he only calls her wife as a joke. He's talking about marriage in 2024 because in his eyes, he's not really married. He did her a nice favor by signing the paperwork to get financial aid. I'm not surprised a young college guy isn't ready to get married, no shame on him, …

He didn't change his mind, he never wanted to get married. First, it was the pressure from your families. Then, you needed financial aid. He's not treating you like his wife because in his mind, you're not really married, this is a financial convenience. Pretend you have a boyfriend that wants to get married in 2024, because that's the most accurate description of your situation. Think about how you would act in that situation, and do it.

Ask him why he stopped.... and here's the hard part... do it without judgement. Listen to him without trying to refute his points. Love him even though you think he made a terrible mistake that caused your family to suffer. There may be a time in the future where you gently encourage him to get help, but for now, just try to listen and understand.

You create a space where he feels comfortable to be himself. And you do this by loving him and letting him know he has your respect and acceptance.

I am very new to this sub but I do frequently see anti-woman comments (usually insisting RPW be a certain way, and if they're not, they're not red pill and should be dismissed).

You have no way of knowing what OP would look like at 5'6" and 145 lbs. Nobody does because we have not seen her. Maybe OP will get down to 145 and want to lose more, or maybe she'll be perfectly happy. Throwing the word "chubby" around doesn't help her.

Kardashian is 5'3", so 135 lbs puts her at a BMI of 24, a far cry from the 18.6 you are suggesting for OP. I know RP men are always talking about % body fat, but BMI is not the equivalent for women.

I think STFU is mostly about not nagging your SO. If you have a valid request, make it, then don't "remind" him every 20 minutes.

I can't respect a liar. A man is honest and doesn't hide his behavior. He is who he is, no apologies. A little boy breaks a vase and hides the pieces and when mommy asks where it is, he shrugs and says "I dunno" because he's ashamed of himself. If somebody lies to you for an entire year, run away. They don't respect themselves and so they're not worthy of your respect.

Let him lead the relationship. If he isn't ready for marriage, either fully respect that or dump him. Feel free to ask him about his marriage plans, but be prepared for an answer you might not like. When you assume the wife role (stepping up the "wife-me-up" game) before being asked, you are subtlety steering the relationship forward instead of allowing him to lead. It's well-intentioned but it's a form of taking control from him. I see women do this when they are casually dating, assuming the g…

I don't think dating apps are your best bet at this stage. You're shy? Make some friends, pick up some hobbies, volunteer, build a social network, practice your poise and manners. It's so much easier to vet men through your social network than through a dating site. A man on a dating site can spin any lie he wants to get you in bed. You'll have better luck with a woman who wants to set you up with her amazing brother or her boyfriend's loyal best friend.

I think you need to know yourself, know the person you are striving to become, and know what you want (although those things are allowed to evolve as you age!) before you date. A lot of women your age spend college partying. They have no hobbies outside of drinking and clubbing and no goals after they graduate.
