Honestly, this could be said of any addiction. That doesn't mean that empathy and understanding fixes the addict. Young people have my sympathy because porn is easily accessible and addictive and it's only starting to be common knowledge that it's addictive. DARE showed itself to be counter productive but no one could claim ignorance that drugs have negative consequences. However, I've known altogether too many addicts in my life and empathy and understanding is too close to acceptance in the ey…

I don't generally believe in shaming unknown men on the internet. I don't think it helps much BUT I also don't believe that their choices are my responsibility "as part of this society". If we have to take communal blame then shame is one way that the community keeps order. I don't think it's reasonable to argue for one and against the other. Understanding why these men do what they do means taking a look not just at the behaviors of the women around them but at the effects of pornography on the…

Counter argument: Shame is a tool to discourage undesirable behaviors. If we are responsible for the state of society and thus the resulting behaviors - is shame not an appropriate response to attempt to turn the page.

Ultimatums work so well and can't possibly backfire. Sometimes you meet a man who is worth breaking the rules for. It may be high risk but can also be high reward.

It's a risk certainly but it's not an automatic death sentence for a relationship. What do you do if you have an amazing guy who says no ring unless we live together first? That's a very common sentiment now.

For our 5th anniversary I was in the middle of first trimester fatigue and morning sickness. Going out to dinner would have been a severe waste of money. We exchanged gifts and had a chill night. Then we went out to celebrate the anniversary of our first date a few months later when I was feeling better. Chalk this year up to the year you celebrated during the apocalypse and have an extra special date night down the road.

I think I've seen this comic before. My assumption is that it's not as much saying that we should be wearing work attire at home as we shouldn't be putting no effort in at home when we put a ton in for other people. I'm a 'full face make up every day' girl and have been since I was a teen. My clothes are a bit more relaxed though with my husband wearing gym shorts every day. :-P

There is nothing wrong with waiting for a committed relationship or marriage. It is advised around here. Take care to ensure you are offering more than your virginity. Marriage has a 50% success rate and while having your husband as your only partner increases your probability of success, it does not guarantee it. You, like non virgin women, need to be more than what is between your legs. Don't think that the title "virgin" makes you special. One day you will not be a virgin. You can only give y…

Unfortunately flour was one of the first things to go from our grocery store so I'm being judicious with what I have on hand.

immediate response from a literature snob about how YA novels have no value Nothing says 'I am so smart' like complaining about someone else's reading habits. But then I had a thing for vampire novels before they were cool 😂😂😂 I think sexy is a weird word choice but you are right that she must mean it in a way other than sex appeal. She might just need to fine tune how she is conveying her ideas. Having interests, however you classify them, is just good sense for your health as an individual.

I think some of the problem is calling it 'sexy'. There are reasons to have hobbies. Sexy is not a reason. I'm not sure if she's conflating rmv with smv or if she's one of those girls who thinks her job is sexy to a man. It's hard to tell from the post. Personally I consider reddit one of my hobbies (but that falls outside of her guidelines for acceptable).

I do think that some men will postpone it as long as possible. It's less important to them so they need a reason. Knowing the woman they love won't stay a forever girlfriend is certainly a reason if the relationship is good. Kids are another reason. My family busted my uncles balls for years to marry his college sweetheart. They told her she should leave him or give him an ultimatum. It wasn't until they started talking about kids that they got married. That was about 11 years after they started…

That really really sucks. We had already decided to have a very small first birthday for the baby (mid April) and now I'm starting to think that we won't even get to do that and it's disappointing.

Right and as I said above, there are plenty of more tangible reasons for a woman to choose to keep a low partner count. I think it's ok to talk about promiscuity and whether it's "worth it" and what are potential problems versus potential gains. I don't think that these studies are the best jumping off point for those discussions though. At best it's a loose connection that there might be a problem and might not. When promiscuity means you might get divorced but might not, but an incredibly low …

So think carefully the next time someone comes here and say, I took a billion dick can I become redpill now? The answer from her own temperament, attitude, and belief system is probably a reasoning no, and success may even still be failure as the shift could become to drastic and unbearable anyway. This is a failure in your understanding of the red pill IMO. It is supposed to be a way of looking at the world, not a movement or a type of person. On the RPW sidebar it says: We come from all differ…

Studies like this are posted for men's benefit as they have very little to offer women. If, as a woman, you are willing to take on the increased risk of pregnancy and STIs that come with multiple partners, you likely are also willing to take on the risk of divorce. There are plenty of good immediate reasons for a woman to be careful who and how many she is sleeping with. If you aren't doing that already more stats and probabilities won't suddenly change your mind. If you are doing that then cong…

You cannot change another person. 6 months is still a young relationship and you shouldn't necessarily be trying to change things. This early on it's likely a compatibility issue. Unless you agree with his reactions towards you and think you need personal improvement. If his guidance is warranted and will help you to grow then you work to change yourself. You are 26 and you have to trust your own judgement a little bit here. Is he unrealistic with everyone around him or does he have high expecta…

It's all well and good to use the studies as a starting point for causes but if the OP is feeling out of sorts, and the birth control method is new, it's a worthwhile avenue of examination. Just because studies say "this doesn't happen with a statistical significance" doesn't mean that you should tune out your own body.

You are making up definitions to sooth your ego. In RP traits, an alpha man is someone who gets sex, yes. However, in RP terms any women is capable of getting sex so it's not an accomplishment and there is no such thing as an "alpha female" Another way to look at 'alpha' is the top person in the hierarchy. I have serious doubts that you are at the top of any female group. Usually promiscuity occurs when there is self doubt. And to touch on your other comments: They don't if they dont want a slut…

It's not a requirement for life and it's not a requirement for relationships. This question self selects for women who have had children. It doesn't ask child free women to rave about their lives. You'll get a one sided picture as a result. I believe that ultimately we all (humans) need something that we are working for in life. You want to look back and say 'I accomplished this and it was fulfilling'. For the majority that is children but I'm sure there are other outlets. Being fearful should n…

She has a High Powered Career and probably won't end up having kids. Her boss had her kids in her 20s.

Well you've only known him for 6 months over the winter. It could be that he's very active in the summer and games in the winter. So let's acknowledge that no matter how much you hate it, going to the gym / exercise is healthy. He's not asking you to do something with negative consequences. You could begin to go again, take him up on his offer of help and continue to vet the relationship to see if you are compatible.

You are probably going to lose him over this point. It sounds like he looked for a girl who was into fitness to match his lifestyle. Since you talk about going on a hike where you couldn't keep up, it's more than just a looks thing. You can go to the gym or not but I don't think this man will stay with you if you don't start it up again.

A relationship is not 50/50 it's 100/100 You shouldn't be with a guy who thinks he gets to be lazy. If you aren't contributing in a manner that pleases both of you then why be in the relationship? And the idea is not necessarily to demand less it's to understand how to go about things so you get the best results.

A willingness to work gives you a choice. I made decent money working as an office manager while I completed my degree. My husband worked as a dispatcher while completing his.

This is very much the argument from the man's side. And we need to be aware of male perception of marriage divorce. But if we are going to discuss marriage in terms of potential loss - let me throw this hypothetical at you: At 24 I settled down with my husband. I traded my youth and fertility and companionship for his companionship and support. He made the decision that my youth and fertility, though temporary, were worth a lifetime commitment.

I'm not suggesting it as pettiness. I think that these small issues build up and that is why a lot of people feel their relationships are unequal. If cooking and cleaning is your realm, I'd be helping you by cooking dinner tonight or cleaning the toilets today. If earning the money is my realm, you'd be helping me if you got a job. Household chores and work should be considered separately in a dual income household. (Assumption: two full time incomes). "Helping" implies that you can choose to do…

"my idea of marriage is correct and how dare you even question me or suggest that many men won't buy into my fantasy" When a single woman has Disney ideas of relationships, those ideas should be called out. Beyond that, the rules of the relationship are dictated by the people in the relationship. Without knowing the individuals in a couple, we can only ever give rules of thumb and generalizations.

What is the meaning and purpose of marriage in the era of feminism? The RPW answer to most relationship questions: It is what the couple decides it is (or some variation of that). To me, it is two people both submissive to and responsible for the relationship/family unit. We do not live in an era where men work the land, women cook and can and children are taught to follow in their parents foot steps. I earn an income. He knows how to make his own meals. I can shoot.

Sure. Buuuuut... Two important points--he's your husband so you already see him as a respectable masculine attractive man. He has a track record of calming you and being the strong one. Once in awhile it's nice to take his burden. His leaning on you doesn't change him because you are a team and because he has a solid track record. And - when he is leaning on you and you are comforting him, do you want to have sex with him? Typically, flipping on the 'compassion' switch flips off the 'sexual attr…

Yes but exceptions and rules and all that. It's not typical that distance works out. Not only that, this guy isn't really saying he wants to continue the relationship. Trying to make long distance work in this situation would just be delaying a break up.

If you are busy all week and not taking time for yourself and your time away becomes an oasis in the middle of the craziness - then the depression at the end may have less to do with leaving him and more to do with stress at returning to life.

I hate when they do that. Plus it's such a vague question and it's unclear to me that she even knows what she wants. I don't believe that women will leave after a man shows vulnerability/cries/is emotional in all situations. I do think that in order for it to not change the way she views him, he has to have a solid track record of masculine behavior behind him...and it's never sexy.

Before anything, you should fix this problem before you get married. Young marriages have a high divorce rate. You don't want to be a statistic. You do that by making sure you have no doubts. Sex and money destroy many marriages and both are tied up in this issue. Now, I think the only course open to you is the "bring him your problems". First tell him that you want to discuss the issue and when would be convenient for him. Men don't process information the way that we do and you will have a mor…

You may need to consider that this makes you incompatible. One of you is going to have to not get what you want and he seems very firm in his position. What have you said to him about this? Being turned down is discouraging and sex is important. It's important for relationships and it's a big way that men connect and express love in a relationship. That doesn't mean that you are required to be a sex doll for him. However, a steady stream of sex with the woman he loves is a big reason that a man …

I tend to agree with you that he's lying. Not even because he wouldn't let her see the results but because "it's ok, I forgive you in advance" is a very atypical response from a non-guilty partner. Especially one who is "so principled he would not cheat on morals alone". But I was curious because a lot of people are harping on her seeing the results. It seemed to me that if she has it, he should have it. If she got it from a toilet seat (not possible, just saying) then he should still have it. I…

So, is it even possible (probable) that he would be negative for said STI if she was positive for it? I'm assuming of course that they had unprotected sex... But his negative results don't make sense to me, even if she was the one who cheated (which we trust her word that she's not).

These relationships are unlikely to turn into a lifetime commitment. Even though you differentiate them from prostitution, there are a good many men who will not. It will lower your value in the eyes of future prospects. If you concern is that men in your age range are not mature enough to date, then date older. You can be interested in older men without it being a sugar relationship.

The OP is talking about submission being given over time and people are objecting as though it should be given fully and completely at once. Ideally, it should be given over time, bit by bit as part of the vetting process. You don't defer to a man because of his genitalia. We see women here who become submissive to men on an instinctual level even if he's not the right man. We also see women who are asking "how should I be submissive to my two month old LDR (not making this up). And of course th…

Right. There were times early in our relationship when I fought against my husbands judgment. Against an argumentative girlfriend he would usually tell me 'this is what I'm doing' and I could follow or leave. The idea that I needed to give him a reason to lead is laughable. All I had to do was get out of my own way. With or without me, he had his path. If a woman has a masculine man then she can get out of the way and allow him to lead. If she has a true 'egalitarian above all' then it is simply…

Submission is tied is with respect and dominance. It is necessary to have something to submit to, it does not happen in a vacuum. It is simply not possible to submit for the act of it alone. You don't respect someone for merely existing and you don't offer submission on the basis of gender or relationship status. Perhaps if one is religious they can find it within their beliefs to submit to the 'role' of husband if the man is lacking but for most modern western women that is not reality. Just as…

Are you 15? She's not worried about any girl code and she doesn't know this woman. If nothing physical happened no one's health is at stake.

So he didn't even cheat on her he was just seeking female validation online? You need to start considering your own behavior.

So much of TRP is intended to break men of their idealized view of women that it can only be applied in generalizations. The flow of love from men down to puppies teaches them that their girlfrieds aren't going to love them the way their mothers loved them... Which is true - to an extent. We don't give them protective love and romantic love (sex.) One is for children the other is for husbands. Being motherly puts no woman in the mood.

It sounds like you have an unhealthy need for drama and attention based on your post history and your need to post on every related sub.

If you don't live together then there is absolutely no reason to share finances. If you live together then you find a way to handle the joint bills.

Also, I think the longer you spend on your own the harder it is to make the compromises necessary to be in a long term live in relationship. You get too used to doing your own thing without answering to another person.

It's a bigger concern that this 'scares' you. I hope you are simply seeking validation.

I'm not sure that every woman is seeking a leader. Most woman may be happiest allowing a man to lead but so many are taught to be their own leader, or seek an egalitarian relationship, or to not need a man. That aside... Matched values and goals are key. Not all men are good men (ditto women) but I think if you find a good guy who shares your values and then get out of his way, a solid number of men are capable of being a good head of the family.

Every vice comes with some amount of risk. People, men and women, must determine how much risk they are willing to accept in their partner. Extreme levels of purity (lack of vice) will decrease your pool of acceptable mates but lower the risks once you have found one.

My husband's virtue signaling on my behalf should be taken as nothing more than an indication that he wears strong wife goggles. So put aside what he says because I was not trying to make the point that you should do it all or that I do it all.

I'm a financial planner by trade so I am simply speaking to what I see across many people's budgets. Some can do it but not everyone. Personal services are much more ubiquitous as people are older as their incomes grow than in younger crowds with young children. It's nice if you can do it but usually those who can, are already. 'Delegate delegate delegate' isn't a magic spell that makes it possible. It's also the least amount of explanation in a piece of advice that I've seen come from a woman. …

You keep saying that you want RPW advice and then pushing back when it's given. Casual relationships are not really RPW's strong suit. If the relationship is casual then just accept the apology and move on. There isn't any special statement you are going to make that will result in him saying "oh my, this woman is so chill that I must be more attentive to her".

I went to a NJ college circa 2000. In a gender studies class there (Gender and Culture I believe) we talked about chivalry and how putting women on a pedestal is infantalizing - a way of viewing women as second class and in need of help from men. Then the prof went on to say 'but what do we do if we like it' ... a statement that she left hanging and we never discussed or answered in a real way. So I'm sure there are diehard gender studies students who take that idea (chivalry is infantalizing) a…

I dunno, my husband and I did not rush to have kids and if I could go back, I'd have done it sooner. It's hard on the body and I think harder because I'm older.

And it is possible for a woman to cheat on her husband without having another man's child. Since a woman's choice in mate is partially resource dependent, there is no splitting hairs about which resources. Woman chooses man with X resources. If man suddenly has X-1 resources then he would not have been chosen. So he is breaking the agreement when he uses his resources on another woman. With every new mistress, I risk my cave man finding one that he is more invested in and pulling his resources a…

And it's sad that they need to spin it because if our sense of well being is on the decline - it's worth looking at solutions.

Women in the work force depressed wages making it harder for men to bring home a salary that was sufficient.

You are assuming that the course we are on is the correct one. It's not definitely the case that women are unhappy because men haven't picked up enough slack. Maybe women are unhappy because they aren't wired for 9 to 5 work. Maybe because they are leaving babies at home to go to the office. Maybe because we compare ourselves to what we see on TV and social media. Let's have a better idea of the cause before we try to change men. We might not like feminized men doing dishes and raising the baby.

Hypergamy – The instinctual urge for women to seek out the best alpha available. This is marked by maximizing rejection (therefore women are the selective gender). A woman will vet her alpha through various shit tests to ensure his "health" on the alpha scale.

Dating when you have no self respect is a recipe for failure. So first of all, you need to assess your own strengths and weaknesses and then begin to work on your weaknesses. You should feel confident that you have things to offer a man so that you seek a man who has things to offer you. Did this guy ask you out or are we just talking about sex. If he asked you out and wants an exclusive relationship then he does not view you as low value. However if you believe you are trash and you let that ha…

I think that to a large degree "don't date red pill men" is a reactionary statement that has more to do with other woman than with the men there.

What do you mean by "played"? Texting isn't necessarily the best way to communicate. It may be that he prefers in person conversations. TRP teaches men to use text only for logistics and that is what this sounds like. Go on the date, see if you are compatible and have chemistry. Don't have sex. If the date goes well, go on another. One date isn't enough to decide anything and a lack of texting doesn't have to have some deeper meaning.

I don't think we should talk about 'fault'. It is obvious that the perpetrator of a crime is in the wrong. It would not be a crime otherwise.

We should worry less about assessing blame and more about taking care of ourselves in such a way as to mitigate some of the risk.

The difference is that women don't need to be psyched up, because they don't pedastalize men, or have a protective instinct towards them.

I think that career serves as a class marker rather than being qualification itself. If a girl has compatible social circles/background, she could get a waitressing job to amuse herself and not be worse off. OTOH if she is trying to date in a higher class, moving around in those circles through work indicates the ability to assimilate into his life. Attraction is attraction but even men will say you need a certain RMV to be marriageable.

It depends so much on the lifestyle that a couple expects to have. I don't know what counts as the average Joe but through my work I know firefighters and police with SAHM. Now in the Northeast these jobs can pay pretty well, so there is that. Not having student loan debt also makes a huge difference. Flexible work can be great. That is my personal situation and we chose it for more than the income. I think this is an ideal for many women and it can be a good balance. But I hear the work at home…

Qualifier: I'm neither strongly pro or anti SAHMotherhood I think that pushing work at home mothering is just the new version of telling women that we can 'have it all'. Somewhere in the last decade or so women started to accept that it's really damn hard to have it all and do it all well. Now the new thing seems to be 'just work at home'. I don't think that is really any better or easier, it has a different set of trade offs. Working at home with a kid can be as much of a challenge as going to …

First, it's not evil to be unsure how you feel about kids. I never hated kids but they bored me after a short period. That changed when my daughter was born and I have to believe it was a reorganization of the way my brain worked. Second, I love my parents but my mother was always volatile. I was told she only ever wanted to be a mother but she never seemed happy. I had mixed feelings about having kids because I was afraid to end up being her.

There is a give and take to everything. RPW would never preach to stick around through abuse or continued cheating. But ultimately the red pill is a product of the West. Gender relations will never be perfect but for the most part, men are respectful and respectable no matter what our feminists say. Submission is not something I'd recommend just because he's a man. It's something you do because you married a great, loyal man and it will make your interactions smoother and happier. If those men d…

You are making a life mistake in your last two sentences. You assume that because you feel a certain way, everyone feels that way.

If you click through the links I provided one is a chapter from For Women Only. Take away: To Men, respect means more than love. In fact, when given the choice, men would rather feel unloved than inadequate and disrespected. So you may disagree but respect is the way most men wish to be shown love. To think it otherwise is placing female desires onto men and assuming they work the way that we do.

It is not red pill for men, no. And you are correct, women should not get involved with men that they don't look up to.

It's not obvious from her comments though because she knows how to give broad advice and her personality is more than just her sex life. I went back and forth with gimpgirl the other day.

I wish there was more guidance in this sub and in general for finding happiness when the man you married is maybe not the best leader or the most compatible... Some of this is because the demographic skews younger and unmarried I think. There is also going to be a natural hesitancy on the part of women to admit their lives aren't perfect.

I would never call my husband 'captain'. I've thought it's silly since I joined the sub. Using that word or not doesn't mean anything, certainly not justice. It also need not be an ego issue.

Your entire justification for this strategy is based on a fear of him leaving you. This blows my mind. If a man wants to sleep with another woman there is nothing you can do to stop him.

The nonmonogamy one always interests me. I think it's probably not the best idea for most people.

Sure, men can vet by whatever stats they find useful. The 'sex depletes oxytocin' argument is one that I cannot get behind.

In this I'm not trying to convince men, I'm talking to women.

Please define "pair bonding" when making this claim.

I don't identify as a feminist. I firmly believe that women in western nations have equality under the law and anything beyond that is a fight against human nature. I am not interested in that fight. Feminism believes that men and women are equal and the same. By this definition you can't agree with both RPW and feminism. However both schools of thought allow people to chose what makes sense to them and so in that way there is room for overlap. I'd argue that you shouldn't take on any label but …

Reading this I immediately thought of the chapter on Providing in For Women Only. For a man, bringing home a paycheck is love talk.

I was unclear. IF oxytocin produces bonding during sex AND oxytocin produces bonding during breastfeeding THEN we would see similar results to those bonds over time. So if multiple partners means a decreases ability to bond with each subsequent sex partner then it should also be the case that multiple children mean a decreased ability to bond with each subsequent child. Obviously this is not the case. As I said, I have a hard time believing that oxytocin is the mechanism that hurts pair bonding …

It does make sense that your attachment would be focused on the child for the period you are breastfeeding.

Oxytocin is released during breastfeeding, this explains why women like each child less than his predecessor. /s I've always thought it far more likely that a string of short term relationships can result in a sort of addiction to new relationship energy.

I don't feel that my first time was me behaving recklessly. While a low n count is one thing, in this climate it is almost unreasonable to expect that you will remain a virgin until marriage.

It is pretty accepted on RP subs that at least some men have requirements around n count. Some men will have a visceral reaction to the idea of 'their' woman with other men.

Dylan has no faults. Dylan wants to get laid and is entitled to use any strategy available to him to achieve that goal. RPW want to keep a low n count and find an LTR.

We never use famous people or fiction as examples (I believe it's against the rules). Famous people live in a different world with different rules. My point is that supermodels don't tell you much about the sexual market place or men's preferences. Everyone is saying these women are tall so that must mean men like tall women. I don't see that specifically play out in the real world. We should see tall women having a leg up in the SMP and I'm not sure they do. It all comes down to individual men'…

This sounds a little bitter. Sororities are a mixed bag that depends on the sorority and the school. I've met gay men who developed eating disorders - that doesn't mean all gay men will develop eating disorders. What is Her Campus? A quick search makes it look like a journalism thing - so you have to be interested in journalism and that's a little different than a social group. I'm not pushing sororities, but this comment doesn't sound logic based.

This community was created as a harbor for RP minded women whose goal is to build a lasting and happy relationship with a great man. We explore the female RP sexual strategy, better known as "girl game", in an objective, realistic and compassionate manner. It sounds like you are making excuses so you do not have to examine your own faults in your lack of friends. Humans are social, I guarantee that has not changed for Gen Z.

You know that no one can 'save you'. Life is just about making decisions and following through. You make excuses about it being in the music and culture but ultimately the buck stops at you.

On RPW we suggest getting off social media so you avoid addiction to that sort of validation. It can hurt your connection with your partner. Doesn't seem any healthier just because you get a few bucks for it. I know you will say that your relationship is great but that doesn't make it good advice or an admirable life choice.

Most women heal from these things. The human body is pretty great that way. You are selling a whole lot of fear based doom and gloom. Some of these things happen to some people.

I'm not sure about the OPs guy so let's just talk about a hypothetical man who cheats....

Being pretty is the bare minimum that you need to secure a man for a relationship. Yes, men are visual and that is what will make them notice you. It's not enough to sustain a relationship though. You have to have other qualities that he looks for in a girlfriend/partner/wife and you have to be pleasant to be around. Beautiful women get divorced. Humans are opportunistic.

It's not so much a question about whether he is worthy of a second chance - it's whether or not you can ultimately let go of it.

I wasn't trying to insult you but there are changes to your brain and hormones during pregnancy.

It doesn't sound like she was cheated on. She accepted a casual relationship with a man and is now upset that the woman he chose to commit to is not as pretty as she is.

Why do some women feel comfortable being a side piece? The RP answer is that women would rather share a great man than have exclusive rights to an ok man.

It's not off topic because women will need to decide if it is worthwhile for them to have sex before marriage or wait. This is RPW and we are supposed to look the truth in the eye.

Fair. I should probably say that virginity is only a requirement for some men. Here is the issue for women in the marketplace: the men who are willing to wait until marriage are the ones with more beta traits. The risk is hypergamy kicking in down the road.

The virgin advantage comes with long term risk. So women have to decide …

My suggestion is to take a month and simply shut your mouth when he is critical. Don't engage with him, don't say anything, just throw away the pizza box and continue on with your life. It will likely frustrate you to no end. Assess if his behavior changes going into the second month.

I believe that opinions based on experience are more useful than others. This thread should be for parents and those who work with children as adults... same way that people who have not had a successful relationship shouldn't be giving married women advice to divorce. There are things you can't understand until you have lived them. And you are putting out your personal experience as though it is fact, not a sharing of ideas. Teens are not fully develoted people. Important parts of your brain ar…

No, you are too close to this to be able to make an adult decision. And you are too young to realize that your opinions and experiences might not be the only valid ones and there might be more information out there than what you think you know.

I didn't make an assumption out of no where. I'm a financial planner by trade. I'm not going to guess at numbers but iirc you can get hundreds of thousands in coverage for less than $1000 per year in premiums in your 20s. You can determine how much you need in the event someone dies and go from there. Again I'm not suggesting that working is the right answer or staying home is the right answer. Everyone has to make the best choice for their family. But you can and should make plans to mitigate r…

I'm not taking your position on whether women should stay home or not. However, you're citing one of those things that's often thrown around without any thought. Proper planning can mitigate this problem fairly easily. For example, life insurance obtained at a very young age can be pretty inexpensive for whole lot of coverage. It's made for exactly your friend's family situation. Now it sounds like your friends family didn't plan for anything to happen to the breadwinner, and that was a bad call…

I agree with you, these are innate responses and explaining them should be unnecessary. This is obviously a case where the men simply don't understand women and the advice is for the good of the OPs partner not her. Going a step further there is some willful ignorance because the example you laid out for it going the other way was solid.

How's that SJW soapbox. I'm a bisexual woman whose maid of honor was one of the gay men I've been friends with since I was a freshman in HS. Do not lecture me on bigotry as some tactic to win a debate. Attraction is personal. If it was not how many men would have chosen to be gay in say... 1930?

Beyond being a turn off, there are so many problems with drugs and STDs in the gay community that it is a big warning flag if a man has had sex with another man. It may not be the case that all homosexual sex is going to lead to drugs or STDs but it's also not the case that every high n count woman is incapable of pair-bonding. All of which is really irrelevant because we're talking about disgust which is an automatic reaction but if we want to pretend that there's logic behind it - there actual…

Or you can do what we advise women to do with their n-count. Be upfront and honest when the topic comes up and understand that it will be a turn off for some people. As /u/Vellore992 said, you cannot negotiate attraction. If male homosexual behavior is unattractive to a woman that isn't something she can change. If you intend to lie about it, then you better hope you don't get caught because it won't suddenly be more attractive two years down the road.

Your description is why people think that submissive means doormat. She needs to trust her own judgement first.

You must decide that he is a worthwhile partner for you (and he decides if you have value in his life).

She lost respect in him because she didn't see her wants addressed quickly enough, Actually, given the fertility timeline, I think she gave him ample time. They lived with the sister for two years.

Women need to realize that no matter how beautiful you are, to men like me you're worthless if we know you would drop us off at the first inconvenience.

I don't consider money the only requirement to determine value. There is a personality component to go with it. Actually, there are a lot of things beyond a car that go into a man's character and value. If you vet by the car and the job you will end up with a lot of incompatible men. Also preselection tendencies tell me that if you didn't deem him worthy of being with, then he is not as desirable as he sounds on paper.

I turned it down and the guy himself because that is not a high value man, Accepting a direct exchange of money lowers your own value as well. Instead of sex being a mutual experience it becomes a one sided thing. The man no longer has to gain your attraction or affection or care about you as a person. Accepting that money is an agreement that you don't have to be cared about as a person. If you don't value yourself as a person, there is no reason to expect others will.

You don't have to believe me because you are already an old married lady and so what goes on in the market place doesn't impact you :-) Like you, I've been carded well past the necessary ages, and told "no way you are XX years old". I think a couple things are going on. As I said in the post, what people look like at any given age will be a spectrum. The best looking, well kept 30 year old may look comparable to the middle of the road 25 year old. Does that mean you look 25...well I guess techni…

I think kids are harder on a woman than aging alone. People regularly ask if my younger sister and I are twins. Definitely not, she's five years younger, but she's had two kids. I expect that I'll start looking like the older sister again in a few years :-P

I think you are right that the goal should be "top tier in your age group" and also that fertility is a perceived characteristic. I know a woman who did all the testing prior to her marriage to see how much time they had, was told she was good, and still struggled to get pregnant. Nothing is guaranteed. I mention it because children is a primary life goal for some women. I'd think those women would be more likely to settle down earlier, but I know at least one IRL who is 35, wanted kids her whol…

RPW doesn't say that you can't work. It says men are not attracted to you because of your job. It also doesn't say you have to be a SAHM. It's simply a way of interacting with men. You can think whatever you choose about the red pill. No one is here to convince you.

/u/stripethrowaway has the more level headed advice here. Honestly, you don't seem to be too fond of men: Most American men seem mentally unhealthy so I'm not sure that your advice is coming from a sound place. Are you in a solid relationship with a good man? Do you have the experience to judge this as 'coping and denial'? If you've had a string of bad relationships, then you might not be able to judge some of the pitfalls that occur even with good men.

And this isn't really about time tables or beliefs. She feels uncomfortable with him. If this was the guy for her, she'd want to have sex and be holding back because of her timetable or beliefs.

One of the main points of RPW (IMO) is that with a little self awareness of our nature, we can make better decisions than what is evolutionary programmed. There are two general mating strategies: many children with little parental involvement, who cares if they die!, or fewer children and you focus your resources on them. To take the second path (which TRP often denigrates as the BB strategy) there is no reason a man has to have considerable sexual experience. He will have had to prove himself a…

Correct me if I'm wrong but there is a significant age difference between you and your husband. Since most people marry someone within a few years of their partner, your own story is unconventional as well. I'm making an assumption here, but I'd say that you likely partnered up with someone who particularly valued youth and innocence above other things.

But you don't know how many promiscuous women you are seeing who look perfectly lovely. The reason men assume that women lie about n count is because there is no way to really know. I'm not trying to make a case in favor of promiscuity and likely it is harder on some women than others but your observations aren't solid data. You found a handful of women who support your theory but you have no way to determine who does not support your theory and how large or small they are in number.

And their tendency towards the hyperbolic is intentional. They are trying to break down men's current belief structure. The anger and the hyperbole is a tool to get through. Ultimately, it's more like "all women have the potential to be like that". The desire to look for the best man is there. That does not mean that one has to follow through on it.

Selection bias. You can only judge the women who you specifically know their past. You don't know the sexual past of most women so you can't accurately judge the impact of promiscuity on looks. This requires a better analysis to determine if there is any support for it. The cleanest possibility I see is in your assumptions here is that stress wears on your looks (your soldier example) and the assumption that promiscuity causes stress across the board.

if you have an income outside of Roth's limits, then you're stuck with the traditional IRA.

And of course if you have a 401k that throws off the IRA contributions. Isn't it great that our tax code is so simple :-P

I meant to convey that a single person who doesn't fit the norm is sort of beside the point. Most women are not going to run into that guy and even if they do, he is so questionable in his behaviors that he's a cautionary tale more than anything. I guess I'm confused why bring up the outliers. Taken to an extreme, it'd be like saying "well gay men love women with an attitude" ... ok and? Why discuss what they like when it's outside of average and they aren't men we are interested in anyway. Also…

It's not banging faithful old Bertha who has been his secretary for the last 40 years. And the idea is that on average men are att…

That's earned me a lot of love, adoration and brownie points. Prior to that he told me he was pleased that I was a girl who could think. He likes that the Myers Briggs puts me as one of the rationals (INTP if you believe/follow it). He is almost smug that I am capable of more than basic mathematics.

It’s no secret that our analysis is dependent on how a commentor frames their remarks. Some days I worry that women read about our lives and think that it's luck or the perfect man or some factor out of their control. Vetting is important but once you pass that stage - so much is about how you choose to see and react to a situation. Maybe your husband places a low value on the way the outside of your home and lawn look, which is why he can let it lapse. It's certainly lower on his priority list …

Women, particularly lower class and minority women, were in the workforce well before the 20th Century, and they certainly didn’t demand it. This is one of the bigger lies perpetuated by feminism. It has somehow convinced people that women didn't work prior to the 1960s and it is only through the good graces of feminism that women have been allowed to work. It is complete and utter nonsense.

My friend is a transport EMT which means the majority of his time is spent taking old people from nursing care to their doctors and back.

I definitely agree that it is an offshoot of Marxism. It falls more under the cultural Marxism banner than a specifically anti capitalist one IMO.

You are going too far by extending it to a fight against capitalism. That's not first wave or second wave.

There are a lot of facets to this. You husband should be the person you are closest to in the world. That's more than a friend and has different requirements from friendship.

My husband is my best friend in the sense that he is my closest companion and confidant but he is also so much more than a best friend. I agree with this. My point is not to say that you should be closer to your friends than your husband. Rather your husband should be so much more than a friend.

Is it simply that I'm the only girl he can get? But you want advice on how to approach this. You have to approach it. Men communicate directly. I get that he is your fiance but if this is bothering you now, it's n…

Putting aside the sex with your husband issue for a moment, there are some problems with having an affair that I do not think you are fully considering. This should weigh into your calculation of what to do. All the risks of non-marital sex apply. No matter how careful you are there is the possibility of pregnancy (unless of you've been sterilized of course) and STDs. There is also the risk of catching feelings for another man and the ramifications of that. You may come to resent your husband ev…

I don't see it as anyone else's decision whether you belong in this sub or not. It's not a club or a clique and no one is hazing you to make sure you follow the properly ascribed guidelines. If following the dominant crowd approved RPW path was required to be here, I never would have been endorsed. What you believe is normal is typically whatever you are surrounded by. My friends didn't marry and have kids until into their 30s. Some are still not and will likely not go the traditional family rou…

It's also important to remember that men respond best to direct communication. They don't do the indirect hinting that we do. Women may think they are being obvious with their hints while a man doesn't notice them at all because that's not his communication style.

If the house thing is the biggest part you are worried about at the moment, tell him that you'd like to spend some time getting acclimated to the area before you decide where you'd like to settle permanently. I think this is entirely reasonable anyway if you are making a move to an unknown place. You'll have a much better idea of what neighborhoods you want to look at after a year of renting.

This has taken a political turn and as someone who leans right, there is nothing in the idea of personal responsibility to debate or discuss.

Actually, in "An Alpha Woman's Guide to Men and Marriage" she explains it in a similar vein. Asking his wife for money can be emasculating and the author's perspective is that a man should always have his own accounts that are his free and clear. If the woman handles the household finances as a whole, the man should have a cut that is exclusively his and then hand over the rest to her to manage. Doyle attacks it from a surrendering control perspective but the emotional implications are there for…

So no, a man who walks away from women isn't only because he's anyway an unattractive beta male. I didn't say he was an unattractive beta male for walking away. I said that if a man is neutered by a woman -- if he rolls over and gives up because life is too hard, then he was unlikely to have been a dominant man to begin with. I do not consider a man who decides to step out of the game to be neutered. That is a man who has weighed his risk/reward and made an active choice. If the man was not a do…

The "BDSM community" should not be confused with "people who do BDSM". Yes. I should have been clearer. The point I was trying to make (poorly) was that adding a bdsm element adds additional risk. Within the "community" (I've been told) they attempt to alleviate some of that risk because they know it's there. However because it carries a higher risk than "normal" sex and because people rush into sexual situations without vetting (because plenty of women are not smart about sex), two vague legal …

True, but when the average man hears a story like this, he'll may just conclude that the risk just isn't worth it. If a man's sexuality requires that aspect of D/s then the stories will only be relevant insofar as teaching him to be cautious with his partners. If his choice is to not engage in practices he finds sexually fulfilling, that's his own problem. A man can put a good deal of weight on these stories if he is NOT inclined towards that sort of bedroom play because it doesn't effect him in…

I've had gay men in my life since HS.

If you know them as a peer group when you are young, you learn to treat sex the way men treat sex. By this I mean, sex is handled cavalierly.

I'm not surprised that you are struggling with the idea. It sounds as if there are sexual problems in the relationship already.

To achieve joy with a man of abundance and initiative, you'd need more than baseline stuff like sex, cheerleading, and physical nourishment (food). They are however still the baseline.

Someone else pointed out that her husband plays DnD but didn't feel the need to mention it until after they met. It's not his identity and he didn't need to seek out women who also played to validate that identity. You can be multifaceted or myopic. You can indulge in a little bit of escapism, be it RPG or romance novels, …

I don't believe that shared hobbies are necessary for a successful relationship. Compatibility should focus on values and life goals. While it's good to have things you can do together, doing everything together can become boring and stale....or worse, you can become no more than friends. A little bit of distance keeps a person interesting and passion alive. I think that sharing too many of the same interests is an offshoot of 'men and women are equal'.

What do you hope to accomplish with this man? He wants exclusivity but you don't ... what is your end goal? You told him you don't want to keep dating but you do ... what did you think would happen? You need to decide what your goal is and if this man is compatible with it. From your post it does not seem like you two want the same thing.

It's all in the language though. You started off with Tell him you'd prefer if he keeps the discussion of child rearing out of his work conversations. That's different than saying "it makes me uncomfortable..." "I'd prefer..." is bringing him a solution. It's telling him what you want the outcome to be. Men won't hear "I'd prefer if you do x" and think they have a choice. You are getting push back because of the way you said something. Men and women communicate differently, your first suggestion…

So paying for my drinks won't make you sexier but it will make me more likely to go on another date because it implies you have a provider/protector instinct.

It's not impossible to find a mix of alpha and beta traits. They are traits not people and they are not mutually exclusive. Most of the married women here have husbands who are a mix of alpha and beta. The key is proper vetting and understanding what you are looking for and why. One also has to have strong girl game and bring something worthwhile to the relationship. If a man has many options, you have to show him why you are the one he shouldn't let get away.

I just scanned her last post here and she stopped pursuing her degree against his wishes (more or less). So I can start to see where some of this might be coming from.

The idea of TRP is to get men to leave the pedestalized view of women and eventually accept women as people and female nature as the design not a flaw.

I have no problem sharing...I already opened the can of worms by openly discussing the threesomes, may as well continue to be open and honest in hopes it resonates for someone. My Fidelity: I have no particular interest in other men. I don't see this as being in my best interest. He's the best sex of my life so I run into one of two scenarios: 1. sex is unsatisfactory with another man, so why bother or 2. sex is better and then I risk feeling dissatisfied with my husband. Other than wanting to h…

Since this comment thread is off the main page and I'm late enough to the party, I can speak my mind here with low probability of starting a riot Wuss :-) highly emotional about sex to the point that it could compromise your "ability to pair-bond" This one has always confused me. I can certainly see where a woman who is left unwillingly many times becomes jaded by sex and relationships. I'm also watching a friend who married a man who is less than her exes and it's a problem (to put it mildly). …

RPW readers saying they will "make" a man wait months, or "make" him commit to her first, is just as much empty bravado and stupid chest-beating boastfulness as TRP readers claiming they will never say "I love you" to a woman again at all, ever. Now that is really interesting and something I had never considered. You've made me think. While I don't often weigh in on telling a woman when she should have sex, I do like to jump into these after the fact conversations to let women know they have not…

Also known as r & k selection. The illustration I read in some evo psych book or another was something like this: A man is a part of a small community or tribe. In that situation he is encouraged to take a 'wife' and provide for his offspring. Potentially, her relatives will encourage fidelity as a means of successfully continuing their genes as well. This will be where his resources are focused and he will have a few children with this woman as his resources allow. But on occasion, this man wil…

I've always felt that Whisper's posts are RPW advanced. What I've never been able to put my finger on is what makes them difficult to understand. They are roundedly criticized any time one comes up though by all but a few. Partially, I think that women (maybe men too, IDK) want an easy check list - a. go on date, b. ask if he wants to be married some day, c. gain verbal commitment d. sleep with him e. be proposed to... simplified obviously, but this is sort of what the tradcon path offers.

you: commitment is working to have the life both wanted at the start of the relationship me: life will throw many changes that you can neither predict nor control for I didn't say you would leave.

Actually, the best strategy for said hunter is to mate with the blond and then pair off with the brunette. The blond's child with him would potentially die from lack of care but he doesn't have to put resources in so no harm no foul. The brunette's children will have a better chance of survival because hes' focusing the resources there. This is the dual strategy for men. Once we get into evo psych we are speculating on how these things would go. It's an interesting path to take but a fairly new …

Commitment to me is when both parties try their best to have a good relationship and to have the life both wanted at the start of the relationship. Then you are not yet ready to be in a life long committed relationship. Life will throw many changes at you that you can neither predict nor control for.

From the sound of it, you already belong to him.

She deserves to be treated with kindness. For some it would be unkind to keep it from them. For some it would be kinder. I'm reminded of my neighbor growing up. There was a lot of quiet musing on the block that he was bisexual with a boyfriend.

I'll add a problem that won't crop up until later. Most people use an FHA loan to buy their first home. This means you can put down well under 20% of the sale value that mortgage companies typically want to see (currently around 2.5-3.5% I believe). If he already had a house that he owns, you are out of luck on this one and will have to save up the normal 20%.

Not all people are religious and not all men are going to think that it's wrong to catch a glimpse.

If you are coming from a religious standpoint where it's taught that it's wrong, then maybe. Otherwise we'll have to agree to disagree.

My thought: with a captain / first mate dynamic, the captain is the one in charge of setting the course. Add in "men are the gatekeepers of commitment" and with it an underlying assumption you cannot say no to a proposal without killing the relationship (because that is most often the situation, and I think it is what most people here are working off of). If you officially propose, you are trying to guide the ship. Your relationship is a bit different in that, I don't think you intend it to end …

I think maybe the mistake is thinking about it in terms of "power". When you start to do that, you get into the confusion that reddisrobin is having with the topic. It's also why feminism doesn't like femininity. Keeping the family and social ties active was, at least at one time, in women's purview.

Yes, I dislike the male arrogance that they think the age like "wine". It's more than even arrogance, it's a bit of solipsism. See, men are attracted to women primarily for their looks. Women are attracted to men more for who they are or their status. And older men can generally attract younger women (it's not worth the debate about much younger or how big an age gap - but most men can date younger by a number of years). It may appear that men age better. In fact, it's that men's status and acco…

First of all, you have to distance yourself from the language that is used on TRP. You are having a knee jerk reaction because "women age like milk" is not flattering.

I think your assessment of men is a little off and overly optimistic. Biologically - so in terms of 'pretty' or 'handsome' men peak later but that's it. An older man still looks like an older man. A man can take care of himself and be better than average but so can a woman be better than average. The average person will age. A man at 50 is by no means better than a man at 30. It's simply that a man at 30 is more attractive, filled out and masculine, than a man at 20. The OP is off in her assessm…

Ultimately, you define for yourself what commitment means. Some people treat is very lightly for a variety of reasons. That doesn't mean that it has to be something you lightly undertake. Throughout my relationship, before and after marriage, I would ask myself: "will I stay with him if things never change". That may be less relevant depending on your starting point.

I'm also getting tired of hearing "I'm 30-something but people mistake me for 20-something" Looks are only one part of age based market value. If kids are on the table, and for most people they are, your fertile window is just as important as your looks.

So you do agree with this. Only with some nitpicking. Early relationship love, to my mind, is a combination of infatuation/lust and liking the person.

If she decided at 23 that she wanted kids and he didn't, it might be worth giving up a year to see if he comes around on the idea. At 28 it's a completely different ballgame. At 34 idk what you do. But yeah, in that regard they were lucky, even if it's a terrible word to use when referring to divorce.

Almost every issue can be worked out if both parties are willing to put their egos aside and work it out. Big if but it's possible. This is one if the things that made me really start pondering the question. In the above case, and occasionally around here, the husband doesn't have his shit together. The married RP answer focuses on the man. He gets his life together and in many cases the wife will follow. This works because we assume that most women prefer a male led relationship. Does it hold t…

The kid thing is one of life's tragedies. I think that a lot of people change their minds but not everyone and there is just no compromise on that. It's also something that you don't always know until it's too late. And there is such a time crunch that when one person realizes it, it should be an immediate dissolution. That'll be one of the driving factors in the above friend's divorce which I think is inevitable. At mid 30s it's probably too late whether divorce happens or not.

Right, that's why I was talking more about ending a life time commitment. These are all things that you vet against and in a 2 year relationship you walk away. That's obvious and why I mentioned Laura Doyle's rules for when you can't salvage something. We can all agree that you can't save a relationship with an addict. I'm more interested in if and when you leave, say a 5 year marriage, or a 7 year LTR that you've made a lifetime commitment.

It is estimated that medicare for all would cost $32 trillion dollars during it's first ten years of implementation. That is a terribly large percentage of the top 0.01%'s income that would need to be taken in order to fund just this one social program. Our highest tax bracket is almost 40% already. Anything over $470,000 (for a married couple) is already taxed at this number. Then there are state taxes and property taxes and sales taxes and social security taxes on top of that.

I would say that it is much riskier to work one's way up without fallbacks in place With everything, education included, there is a risk to reward ratio. Actually, education is a great area to consider. During the boomer generation, a college degree neatly correlated with a higher income over a lifetime. It was not available to everyone and the individual footed the bill which was manageable. As we decided to back student loans so that everyone had money available (without the benefit of working…

That frees up the people who actually should be reproducing to form families like you described. You are mistaken. Social safety nets cost money.

Try taking a herb called vitex/agnus castus. It lowers sex drive. It's a little more complicated than straight up lowering sex drive. I've taken that stuff for years with no effect on my sex drive.

In my more traditional part of the country, that legal of planning is rare. Marriage is usually the choice if people are that prepared. Ultimately, in either case, I think the problem is people that go into cohabitation assuming it will lead to marriage.

This post and your arguments with everyone fits the definition of concern trolling. I don't think you are doing that in this thread. You are trying to discuss why things aren't the way you want them to be instead of writing theory or advice that adds your worldview to the sub. I don't resent the women who follow a tradcon path. I don't feel kinship with the woman who do not. My life is my own and I enjoy chatting with people of all stripes. You don't need to shout down trad con women in order fo…

Complaining accomplishes nothing. As /u/teaandtalk says "be the change..." I don't consider myself a tradcon. I work. My husband and I have have had a crazy sex life at times. I'm agnostic. The values at RPW are what matters to me. When something doesn't fit with my beliefs I read it, think about it and decide whether or not to incorporate it into my personal system of values and ethics. If someone is clearly looking for tradcon advice, I sit out that thread. To me RPW is about how to understand…

It's not that you sound obsessive but you are going back to how he made you feel rather than objectively considering who he was as a person. First, this will not help you to determine what qualities you are attracted to. When I asked what what attractive, I may have phrased it poorly. You should compare and contrast who he was with who the other guy was. If I were to do this with my ex and my husband it would look something like this (briefly): Ex: smart, law student, trust fund kid, followed th…

What are the differences between the guy you are hung up on and your other boyfriend? What was attractive about this guy that was missing in the other. Part of the problem with the "we are all equal" approach to gender dynamics is that it causes many women to be unaware of what they find attractive in men. The more equal we become (masculine women and feminine men) the less attracted to each other we are. So what is it that you found attractive in the second guy. Obviously it is beyond 'beauty' …

Not everyone needs a trendy, ridiculous label Off topic but my favorite has always been 'sapio-sexual'. Oh, you like intelligent men...how unique... the rest of us look for a guy who is dumber than a box of rocks. Sometimes I think that women claim the "alpha widow" title because it's one more label. It's easier to just throw your hands up and say you are an alpha widow than it is to learn to move on and it just makes one's pain feel so special.

Not wanting children is a red flag. This is an important point. I have a friend who has started to claim she doesn't want kids because she thinks that most men don't want kids. Perhaps this is something women picked up from dating through their 20s when many people are still in a seemingly extended childhood. But if a man is going to want them at all (and many do) he will have reached that conclusion by his late 30s (IMO) and quickly rule out someone who is not on the same page. And correct me i…

Phrase things in a way that tells him what value you can bring to the table and how your interests impact him. You are selling yourself to him so it has to be about why he should want you more than what you want him to be like. Ex: My love for the outdoors keeps me fit and in shape. After a long day of hiking, I can give a mean massage to ease your tired muscles. I'm a traditional girl looking for a traditional man to care for and spoil.

Two reasons: on average people date within their racial group and one of the main tenets of RP is that 'you cannot negotiate attraction'. If you aren't attracted to Asian men that's not racism, that's the way you are wired. Of course it also makes the top comment moot. On the other hand, if you simply hadn't considered that group of men because you are accustomed to dating within your racial group as many people do, then the top comment is something to consider. And of course if you have conside…

It's up to her whether it's a waste of time or not. I don't have kids and I'm not divorced so I don't know what the conditions are for dating in those circumstance. I also know that at 35, five months doesn't feel like nearly as much time as it did at 25. Life gets busy and I can go that long with out seeing my best friends or my siblings and not think twice. Particularly if we're chatting regularly. I offered up a different perspective. Everyone is jumping to tell her to leave him. It's fine th…

It was a much longer discussion all together. My intention had always been to return to school after I decided what degree was most practical. I had started with a psych degree intending to ultimately do family and addiction counseling and realized after a few years that was not what I wanted to fill my life with. Neither of us was terribly interested in kids at that juncture so there was no reason not to complete the degree eventually. We were together for about 4 years before I returned and we…

Except she's already been married once and had children. Time is not nothing but it is far more pressing when we are talking to a younger woman with no kids. It is my personal opinion that it's better to wait a bit for the right man than to jump to a relationship just to have any man. Only the OP can decide if this man is worth the investment of her time.

I went to college for four years without finishing and then took a hiatus. When I started dating my husband he didn't realize I hadn't finished and we had this conversation: Me: Oh but I didn't finish. I took a break after four years to work and decide what made sense. Him: <pause> Me: do you like me less now? Him: no, it's the same amount of education. We'll send you to finish when I'm finished. Which is exactly what happened with a more practical degree at his insistence. One of the reasons me…

I am however, nervous that him being red pill and being so early in dating that I could fuck something up So, he's demonstrated that he's not following TRP to the letter simply by telling you about it (the first rule of fight club and all). I also find it a bit surprising that a red pill man would send a woman there "to understand him better". I'd start by asking what the red pill means to him. It could be an illuminating conversation about what he wants out of life and how he views relationship…

Does the man not have the autonomy to make his own decisions? If he preferred your friend, he would have been with your friend. There is no such thing as calling 'dibs' on a person....especially an alpha type man....but really any person. It is a person not an object.

Don't be so quick to claim red flags. If the guy was drunk and stupid then he was drunk and stupid. Sometimes people make bad one time decisions and that doesn't mean they are bad people. There is not enough information in this post alone to suggest breaking up.

This is actually a great list of the objections that OP will have to overcome. My advice to single mothers would be to look for single fathers because of the shared life experiences. From an RP perspective we now that a woman may just be looking for a BB man to help pay the bills and baby-sit. While I understand why men are leery of single mothers, I disagree that this is the perspective that most women take. Even feminism has only managed to convince women that they shouldn't need a man.

There isn't a such thing as AFBB for women but men do have a dual mating strategy. Men can either have casual sex with many women hoping to "spread their seed" in a cheap and plentiful manner OR they can settle down with one woman and focus all their resources on the offspring from that relationship. What you are seeing is the non-procreative version of this impulse. This guy is having sex with many attractive women who he has no desire to partner with. In another era this would almost surely ha…

I hear a lot about bonobos, especially the oppression of one's inner bonobo, for not being poly I could be wrong but I believe the "we are bonobos" idea (in the zeitgeist at least) comes from Sex at Dawn. The book's theory (as I recall it) is that we evolved from bonobos not apes. Bonobos are much more peaceful and have sex for pleasure with just about everyone. It then premises that we're not wired for monogamy and uses several native tribes that haven't been touched by modernity (or civilizati…

Your explanation here was much more thorough than what you originally wrote but it would be even better still if you told the OP how to make it work in your scenario.

Disagree. If she's not ready to have sex then she shouldn't put herself in a situation where hormones might get the better of her. One of the non n-count, non-health reasons to delay sex during vetting is to make sure you have a sense of the man before sex clouds your judgement. Men can be more detached so you might not understand this from a female perspective. We can get very attached and make bad decisions once sex is in the mix. It's better to hold off until you are sure about him as a perso…

Yes! I don't know if it's abundance mentality run amok or time out of the dating market or something else but no one in these situations seems to realize that dating someone else actually means dating someone else. He'll be maintaining two or three relationships and that is time and effort. Even just setting up a hook up is time and effort. And if he's up front and honest about his relationship status, it's likely to be even more difficult. Most women don't want to hook up with a man when there …

This is idiotic. A man has every right to not be with a woman that isn't a virgin if that is his preference. What he does not have the right to do is demand nonmonogamy because she has had sex with someone other than him. The time to decide is prior to the relationship not in the middle of it. Men can demand whatever they want. Women are not obligated to give it them. Your advice is bad and is only meant to benefit this man who wants to attempt a harem. If your suggestion is that virginity is im…

I really don't see how her virginity or lack thereof plays into this. Whatever her n count, he knew that at the beginning of their 5 year relationship. That was his time to opt out, he's trying to change the rules of the game midway through and it's not her obligation to stay with him and allow it if doesn't make her happy. Virginity isn't something owed to men.

Your view baffles me. Then RPW may not be the sub for you. It requires you to look at both your own rationale and the rationale of the opposite sex. The reason we stress vetting is so you marry a man who does not exhibit a pattern of lying, dishonesty and infidelity. I would never advise someone to stay in a relationship pre-marriage that involves cheating. Once you are married, and particularly once you have children, the union is something greater than you. I've been with my husband for nearly…

I'd like to second this. A big part of RPW is understanding why men might behave the way they do, which includes why a man might cheat. Too many people jump to throwing away marriage and it lessens the value of the institution and makes it more difficult for women to find men who want to marry. I committed to my husband for life. My life would have to be in danger from him before I'd break that commitment. Of course I also trust him to be a man who wouldn't break the commitment he made to me. (/…

Don't even come back with the "muh hypothyroid" defense either, considering a minuscule population has an actual, diagnosed thyroid condition I actually do have this condition and people don't believe me because I'm 110lbs.

You may want to look at your own behavior when the topic comes up. I lived with my now husband for 6 years before we were married.

It's really only a big deal if you make it a big deal. I've seen you discuss marriage here and on MGTOW.

The thing to remember is that the majority of the wedding is optional. If he doesn't care and you chose to do it anyway, it's on you for biting off more than you can chew. If he does care but doesn't do it in your time frame then that is a time to learn to let go and treat him as an autonomous person who can complete a task. Neither are excuses to turn into a bridezilla, a martyr or blame the groom for not doing enough. In the end you are still married whether you have it in a hotel ballroom, ma…

Almost all Bridezillas I’ve seen happen because the man has zero interest in any of the planning and the bride feels alone with no support. Perhaps the man has no interest in helping because the bride is planning her wedding not their wedding. Or she's made him feel as though he can't do anything right. Men will get avoidant if they are constantly told they are doing things wrong. You may have a chicken and egg scenario here. Sure it's stressful to plan without help, but maybe ask why he isn't i…

This is solid advice and everyone should be focusing on applying it to their own wedding planning rather than getting on your case for your relationship with your son.

I'm not a big believer in submission and AFAIK, you aren't either Semantics. I meant that you are in a space where the women tend to prefer male lead relationships.

For many men, it isn't their decision because they aren't allowed to not attend. In a sub full of submissive women, I don't think these men are going to get a lot of sympathy. If they can't stand up and advocate for what they want for themselves, they are poor leaders.
