Women are not wired for monogamy but for serial monogamy. They eventually get bored with their partners and want someone else.

Have you actually raised successful children? Or instead is this something you are planning to do and think you know the right way? The tradcon argument you are making sounds great in theory, and many young men get sucked in by variations of it, but in real life there are many hurdles you aren't anticipating.

The male jurors are a good example of the type of men not to pattern yourself after. The evidence was overwhelming (there's much less evidence against many, many people rotting away in prison) yet they just couldn't bring themselves to send a pretty young girl to prison no matter how horrific her actions. The evidence didn't matter-they wanted her so bad it was pathetic. I bet one or more of them contacted her after the trial. Simps/white knights, whatever you want to call them, they are an emba…

Some variation of gymcel has been around forever. They used to say lifting weights was for homosexuals, or to compensate for small endowment, and probably other things too. Guys who do it are jealous and it's a shit test when girls do. When I was young, two sorority girls did that shit test with me, and I had a threesome with them later that night after they both sucked me off in the car. The threesome happened while one of their boyfriends was passed out in another room. So don't worry about it…

Their motivation for sex and liking sex are different from mens'. The latter is less physical and the desire to do it with the same man will fade over time more than her partner's will. I would say women's liking of men is transactional. If you can do something for them, they may well like you. And in the early stages of relationships, when their hormones or brain chemicals are going nuts, it may well seem like they truly love you. It has more to do, however, with how you make them feel at the t…

You are much too sensitive. You got her number, so she was interested. You texted too soon and not at a good time; you should have just made a sarcastic response (e.g., "you can call me Charlie;" "yes, you'll really like my family" or whatever) and hit her up a day or two later. Maybe she was just being silly--women often make jokes about whether a guy they've just met is a serial killer, hence "Manson." She might have been waiting for a funny response from you. In any event, don't take things s…

I didn't read it that way. He said "physical attraction," not "physical attractiveness." Female attraction isn't primarily based on looks, though they play a part. Women throw themselves at ugly celebrities and rock stars because of pre-selection, and don't want anything to do with the dorky virgin who happens to be handsome (until they are looking for a husband). If the OP did mean to say that physical attractiveness trumps everything else, then, like you, I disagree with that.

You said it better than I could have. The post reeks of a slave mindset-take responsibility, do what you're told, work hard, play by the rules, man up. Do the elites who run the world follow these principles? Of course not. They lie, cheat, steal, and blame others for their mistakes. And it works pretty well for them. Indeed, when is the last time a billionaire or other member of the elite class ever took responsibility for anything? Nothing comes to mind. The point about moving agency back to y…

Give it a rest. "Potentially" is not in my quote. Women can spot poseurs from a mile away. And only an inexperienced chump would talk about his n count or ask about it. Women can sense when guys have been with a lot of women. You may not be able to, but they can. "Potentially" doesn't factor into it. Similarly, an experienced man can easily tell if a woman is a slut without asking. This is a sexual strategy forum for younger men to learn from those of us who've been around the block, not a forum…

-I don’t see why that woman would be looking for a man with a high count. That's because you aren't a woman. Women know what guys fuck and what guys don't. My points went right over your head. You don't even have experience with any of this; you are just spouting theories to try to square RP with your religious beliefs. -I’m just trying to show that attracting HVW for marriage has nothing to do with your body count.

You are confusing what you think is a high value man with what women think is a high value man. Women don't think like men do, and attraction for them is different from how it is for men. To women, it is not possible for a man to be high value and have a low n count, regardless of what they may say otherwise. Pre-selection trumps everything else. A man with a low n count, whom you or other men view as high value, is viewed by women as a provider type, or chump, if you prefer a less kind word. Wo…

Exactly. Any man with experience can tell without asking. Asking makes you look like an inexperienced beta dweeb. If you want her to think you are a chump, ask away. But the better approach is to learn to read the signs.

Your journey has led you to a healthy mindset. Self improvement is for you, not to impress others or get girls. A lot of people don't understand that point. If girls come as a byproduct, so be it, but self improvement for the purpose of impressing other people is beta.

These are good points. I see a lot of emphasis on the "will she cheat" aspect of marriage. That's a concern to have, but the outside influences you mention are something that frequently get overlooked. She's going to be around other women, who are used to the norm of weak men and female led marriages, and exposed to outside influences such as schools, churches, etc, which also expect that to be the norm. That's going to be true whether she cheats or not. Women are herd creatures, so those outsid…

Good points. The tradcon lie, that marriage can be great if you're just alpha enough, is a seductive message to young men but is one they should disregard. Hopefully they see enough real world evidence to the contrary. The (false) premise of tradcons--that marriage works if you are alpha enough--is similar to recruiting tactics formerly used by the military. They try to sell marriage by basically making it a challenge to young men. It's important for young men to understand where this push for m…

Surely determining whom to trust should involve looking at the motivations, financial and otherwise, of those seeking your trust. And attempting to verify their claims. But then again, someone said, accurately, that there's a sucker born every minute, so it's clear many don't consider such things in determining whom to trust. Conformity, fitting in with those perceived to be the cool kids, seems to be the primary consideration of many people.

You make good points, and I'd add that with women, orgasms have much more of a mental component than male orgasms. The notion of making her the focus and learning all these tricks to please her is not only BP, it misunderstands how and why women get off. I've had women explode shortly after entering them because I've gotten them so worked up during our interactions leading to sex. Yes, one should know the right moves to get women off and individual peculiarities that work with specific women, bu…

But if you're both 35/40/50 years old and your LTR/wife monkeybranches you're either a sucker or she's really fkn dumb. Maybe both. It happens every day. Or it becomes a dead bedroom or sex once a month kind of thing. What you think is a better option isn't necessarily the same as what a woman thinks of as a better option. That's what many men misunderstand about hypergamy. Women get bored and lose attraction when they are with the same man for a long time. And they don't monkey branch in accord…

They lose that genuine desire because women are not wired to be attracted to the same man forever. It doesn't matter what he does. There are examples after examples of wealthy powerful good looking men getting dumped by their wives or being in dead bedroom situations. The myth that dead bedrooms are always due to the man letting himself go is what modern tradcons preach but it has little basis in reality. For most of history, it was primarily the woman's role to maintain her appearance to stay a…

Do the shrug once you get the bar out of the racks and in position. You'll feel tension in your lats when lowering the bar to your chest. For your height, I'd use the max grip. Shorter people can have shoulder issues with it, but you shouldn't have any problems. 125 kg is a respectable bench for your height, so you are making good progress. I'm guessing that you are explosive off the chest and hit a sticking point just before the half way to completion mark, as that is common with taller lifters…

I don't do max singles. Even when I was younger, I got the best results from doing volume in the 70-85% range; if I went to 90% and up for very long, I'd get burned out. I almost never maxed out in the gym. (One of the reasons I see people's progress stall is that they are going to max or near max weights too often). Now, I do a lot of reps and volume. Instead of squatting for sets of 3, for example, I might do a set of 15-20 on leg press then superset a set of 8-10 on some variation of regular …

I don't necessarily disagree that flat bench has become an ego lift. I don't do them all the time. Since I don't compete, I typically do variations of the big 3 to keep things interesting. Maybe I'm lucky, but I've never had any significant injuries from bench pressing. But a lot of people want to get a better bench press, and there's so much information out there, often contradictory, that I thought those who do regularly bench press might find some of the tips to be useful.

There's a name I haven't heard in a while. He wrote an article in Powerlifting USA detailing his diet when he moved up a weight class or two and it contained the kinds of things you mention. And his best raw bench was quite a bit more than 466. He did well over 500 raw in a meet (525 or 535 I think) and later handled weights in the 600 range raw during training. I believe he tripled 585 during a training session at Westside with Louie Simmons's crew. (He's from Columbus but normally didn't train…

Peer review is a joke. The studies you reference are poorly designed and little more than propaganda. Initially, studies like this came out in the 1970s and were designed to convince women to get in the work force and that marriage was a bad deal for them. They were then re-purposed by religious cucks to mislead young men into thinking marriage was beneficial for them. A good rule of thumb is that if you need to use propaganda to persuade someone that something is good for them, it actually isn'…

Bezos doesn't have game. Most successful men don't. Those who think men like Bezos, Gates, or Musk are higher value than Leo don't understand how women think or how attraction works for them. You can't apply male logic to women. And looks don't matter as much as many of you think. Leo not only has pre-selection, but he has a bad boy, heartbreaker, won't be tied down aura that drives women crazy.

No, it's too significant of a decline for that. And the past isn't what people think it was. People weren't paragons of health. Up until the 1970s, probably half the population smoked, and that number was higher among men. Hardly anyone exercised. People didn't eat good diets, though processed foods weren't as common. Donuts, coffee, and cigarettes was a common breakfast. Fried foods were standard fare. Men typically died in their early or mid 60s, and they looked much worse than men in their 60…

Much of the research is speculative in nature, so I don't know what the reason is, but there has been a profound decline in testosterone levels over the last few generations. The decline is far too significant to be the result of sedentary living or improper diet. Note how the medical profession isn't concerned at all and seems to be glad about it. The top and bottom ends of the scale used to assess "normal" testosterone levels have been lowered to account for this generational decline, and ther…

Good job, man. You are on the right path. What you'll eventually see about the lifting recommendation is it gives you confidence, which is more important than the actual physical improvements it leads to. Lifting consistently leads to small, discernable improvements, and that has a remarkable effect on your self confidence that carries over to other aspects of your life. Now that you know you can get women, you can do anything else you set your mind to also.

You must not have spent much time around women. Women are hardly future oriented. They focus on how they feel right now. They tend to be frivolous with money too.

Your conclusions are right. But it is not easy to establish a household like this in middle to upper middle class communities in the U.S. Your wife will be surrounded by contrary influences, and the whole system is against those type of households.

Wives are not like mommies. They aren't who you can count on when things go bad. Women don't aspire to care for some sick or down on his luck man. I see too many people on here who think a wife will be like their mom, and it is not like that at all. Women do not love you for you. They look at what you can do for them. If you are old or sick or down on your luck, you are worthless to them. This comes as a shock to many guys who have to learn the hard way.

The historical examples you point to are valid but are also highly misleading. It's a seductive message to young men who haven't fully rid themselves of BP tendencies. I don't blame those young men--some things you have to live and experience to really understand. In biblical times, marriage to a good man was a boon to a woman and her family.

These groups either try to shame men into marriage or they twist statistics to try to show marriage benefits men.

Yes, but male sexual attraction is a low standard. A horny married man will fuck his wife no matter how she looks (within reason). Marriages rarely fail because the male loses sexual attraction. It's the other way around.

-Most men are not the "shitty beta" that women portray them as.... the majority are decent men who simply don't understand how attraction works. That's sure been what I've observed.

I'd avoid taking advice from MRP. It's not RP; it's tradcons with backgrounds like yours who view women as perfect and sinless and men always at fault.

Your LTR goes on dates with other men? Do you go on dates with other women? If not, it's time to do so. This LTR is over. You should completely withdraw attention from her and consider her an ex.

Don't make rash decisions based on one incident. If this is a consistent issue, then you need to learn to moderate your drinking or stop entirely. If you don't drink consistently, then make a decision not to go on a bender again. When a hangover wears off, it can lead to anxiety.

The takeaway is that what attracts a particular woman to a particular man doesn't always follow logic, and you'll drive yourself nuts if you try to analyze it logically.

But he's doing something to incite tingles in her, and that's what attracts them.

She's a plate at best, not an LTR. If an LTR or prospective LTR doesn't want to show you off to her friends, it's a big red flag. It typically means another guy is in the picture.

It could be that her friends and parents would react negatively to the racial difference, but I'm betting another guy is somewhere in the picture too.

Good point. Historically, societies kept female nature in check. That no longer occurs in the west.

You aren't overreacting. Trips like that are a socially acceptable way for girls to cheat. By that I mean that her friends are doing it too so she won't be criticized by them for it, and women care a lot about how other women view them. If they are in a situation like this, such as a girls trip or bachelorette party, they all egg each other on and then cover for each other when they get back. Dump her.

That is a good point. Where tradcons go awry, in my view, is in thinking that "doing better and working harder" will always fix things, when many times, they won't and you need to be prepared to walk. "It's always the man's fault" is to me just another way of putting women on a pedestal and keeping a BP mindset. They just shift it from "women are wonderful" and can do no wrong to "women have no agency and can do no wrong," so whatever bad behavior is being exhibited is your fault.

Your comment is a prime example of why so many men don't make the kind of progress they could in the gym: they think they know everything and insult and argue with those who are more knowledgeable and accomplished. Proper technique is the most important thing for a newbie to learn. When you post some official numbers in a sanctioned mee…

Girls who keep condoms in their purses do so in order to be prepared for occasions where one might be needed on short notice, occasions such as girls nights out, bachelorette parties, or spring break trips.

No, you shouldn't sacrifice form to go heavier. That's what foolish gym bros do, the guys who never make any progress. If you can do 10 reps with 80% of your max, you're a beginner, and using proper technique is critical at this stage so that you don't get into bad habits and have to re-learn everything later. A key difference between top lifters and everyone else is that they focus on perfect technique and constantly get feedback on their technique.

You are describing what happens to a typical woman over the course of her dating life. Trying to attribute that to all women and finding a bubble about to burst strikes me as a reductionist fallacy. There isn't going to be some utopian age where betas have much easier access to women. Real wage trends among working and middle class men will provide more insight into this issue than this bubble theory. And keep in mind that women do not choose men in the same way we choose them.

Sounds like she broke up with you. The other commenters are right-she wants to see other guys. You may be looking at a possible LTR with her, but she isn't looking for an LTR with you. The reason she was acting in a manner that led you to believe she needed therapy is because she doesn't like being with you. She'd act just fine around someone she was into.

You'll probably hear from her. Social media has made things like this common. She presumably knows how to delete your number if she wants to, so she was just lashing out.

Don't talk to her so much. Find other things to do rather than spend time with her. She might be trying to extract commitment; on the other hand, when women in relationships talk about another particular guy all the time, it means they are into him. Regardless, withdraw attention from her and see how she reacts. Women know how to behave and what not to talk about with men they want to keep around.

She was very interested. I don't know why you reacted the way you did. Maybe she's familiar with the other place or it's within walking distance to her home.

You need to exit this relationship ASAP. For future reference, in Christian circles, wives rule over the husbands, and girls are brought up being taught that they are superior to boys and that they are de facto in charge in relationships.

Your comment about shaming men for their sexual urges is the part about this movement that jumps out at me.

That's not accurate historically. Modern Christianity started emphasizing male chastity and purity in the late 19th century as the evangelical movement attempted to appeal to women.

She wants to keep him around either as an option (if he broke up with her) or for validation (if she broke up with him).

Men collectively define physically unattractive females as low value.

This girl doesn't want an LTR with you and, in any event, isn't LTR material. Major red flags. You sound desperate for a relationship. Not a good position to be in. Commitment is the most valuable thing you have to offer a woman, so don't be desperate to give it away. The BP fantasy in Disney movies is just that-fantasy.

Women can tell pretty quickly if other women want to have sex with you or if you're just an orbiter. There seem to be a lot of posts recently hamstering about why it's good to have female friends, which is really just hamstering to justify being an orbiter. This and other posts like it try to use logic, but women aren't logical creatures. Being an orbiter to other women is a turn off. They can tell right away if there is no sexual spark between you and female "friends."

Don't do anything, but also don't expect a future with this girl. There are plenty of accountants he could start a business with, and plenty of accountants whom she could go into business with.

If she had asked before going hiking with the guy, a response such as "oh, that's what we're doing now?" or "are you asking me permission to go on a date?" which other commenters mentioned, would have been good responses. That she went hiking first then told you suggests that she was concerned you'd find out about it. I'd put some distance between you and her. Definitely start talking to and doing things with other girls. Don't discuss this with her. Just start treating her like a plate instead …

You nailed it. Once they get into the educational system in a typical middle or upper middle class suburb, there is an entire apparatus against you and nearly all women get sucked into it. Men who don't obey their wives, who don't act like stereotypical doofus dads on tv, and who dare question anything, have targets painted on their backs.

This post accurately sums up what I've experienced and observed. How long it takes to go to each phase differs from woman to woman, but this is the pattern relationships typically follow. Some guys on here think marriages don't work out because the man lets himself go, and think if they just maintain their SMV, they can have great marriages. That's not how it works.

You didn't have a deep relationship. You knew this girl for a few weeks and didn't have sex with her.

It was happening on tv shows in the late 70s and early 80s. Nearly every show would have an episode encouraging the married woman character to do sex-related things with other men.

It can be confusing because successful lifters and bodybuilders employ a variety of training styles and diets. What works best for one might not for someone else.

A misimpression I see often is the belief that by being alpha enough, one can have the BP fantasy. Women aren't wired to be with the same man forever.

I had the same reaction to the mod's post. In the first place, an LTR with someone who lives with 4 guys and also works with one of them is a recipe for disaster. But that rug isn't a random gift.

If you were talking to her for months, you should have made a move. Most likely, someone else did and she dated him for five months. When girls date someone whom they worry about losing, they don't do disrespectful things like get flirty with other guys on social media. It probably didn't work out, so she's reaching out again. Pick a time and place and ask her to meet for a drink. If she says no, then she's not interested and you should ignore her.

Absolute, you can potentially learn something from anyone. And it's normal when you are young to look up to athletes or other accomplished people you can relate to.

Based on this post and your comment below, I wouldn't keep her around as an LTR. She sure doesn't act like one.

Yes, you should be concerned. Women are selective in liking guys' posts because they don't want it to be interpreted as attraction. Keep an eye on her and make sure you have other options. I suspect she's also talking to one or more of them, and she's probably doing the initiating.

My take is that many younger men haven't spent much time interacting with women socially and don't know when or how to approach, which can lead to awkward situations. If a woman is interested, there are ways she'll indicate that and in effect invite you to approach. Men who've spent some time around women learn to recognize these signals and thus approach in situations with a high probability of it being welcomed.

In theory, they are great. As a practical matter, not so much. Whether one is enforced or not is largely in the discretion of the family court judge. Legal proceedings are expensive and time consuming, appellate relief isn't available until there is a final judgment, and judges thus know that they can do whatever they want with limited to no oversight by a higher court. That's why nearly everyone settles. Prenups are more of a negotiating tool than anything else. Even if a court ultimately enfor…

It is unreal how many older women are looking for men. If you have your act together when you are older, these women will be all over you. You almost have to experience it to really grasp it.

I'm sorry you are going through this. Since there are no consequences to making false allegations, they are regularly used for leverage in family court.

You hit on a reason why being RP won't help much in a marriage or cohabitation situation (and thus why you should avoid cohabiting).

Don't be too hard on yourself. This is an easy mistake to make. I know better but I've still made that same mistake. Shrugging it off and moving on to other women is the best way to handle it, and it sounds like that's what you are doing.

Your first source doesn't stand for the proposition that you say it does. It doesn't say physical attractiveness exclusively determines short term mating opportunities. It says physical attractiveness the strongest predictor of attraction, for both sexes. That shouldn't surprise anyone. It doesn't say that status and game are irrelevant, or that status and game can't outweigh appearance. Since you got that one so wrong, I didn't look at the others.

Is that why women do it to men too? I'm curious because a woman I know has been behaving the way you describe, though I'd never heard the term breadcrumbing before, or of anyone acting this way deliberately. I'm polite to her when I hear from her but have made no effort to see her recently, so if she's got some goal she's trying to accomplish from this, the breadcrumbing isn't working.

Try dumbbell bench presses with your palms facing parallel to your body instead of the usual way with palms facing forward. That should take some strain off of your shoulders. If you have access to a football bar, it will do the same thing when you do regular bench presses. Do the reps slow and focus on contracting your pecs instead of seeing how much weight you can move. During each rep, mentally keep your shoulders out of the lift and focus solely on pecs. You can follow these with cable or du…

If your goal is fat loss, the bulk of your training shouldn't be cardio. You should do cardio, but don't neglect lifting--emphasize it. It's important to lift to stimulate your metabolism. You say your diet is in check, which should mean that you are at a caloric deficit but not an extreme one. Do higher reps, sets of 8-10, on exercises, especially squats. High rep squats (10+ reps) will fire up your metabolism and help recomposition your body. For cardio, do both long slow cardio and high inten…

I'm just generalizing, attempting to say that people tend to date people they run across most often, and those are usually people in the same socioeconomic class who have similar education levels.

People tend to date within their own socioeconomic class because those are the people they are around most of the time. That doesn't mean a woman's career is important to men's attraction to women. It isn't. A good career does not in and of itself attract many men. When a man brags to other men about the woman he's with, he doesn't emphasize her job or where she went to school like women do when they brag on their men.

I wasn't at that level. Check out the top 100 lists in Powerlifting USA (probably available online now) back in the 80s and 90s for the 165, 181, and 198 pound weight classes. A 330 bench wasn't world class at 165, and I doubt it would have made the top 100 at 181 or 198. This wasn't a national meet. Edit: https://www.openpowerlifting.org/rankings/single/75/men/by-total .

It's possible. It's not quite double body weight (1.8). It's good but its not unheard of. In my first powerlifting meet when I was 16, I did a 330 (150 kilos) bench press at 162 body weight. I didn't have the highest bench in my weight class either. The top guy did 341 (155 kilos). Granted I have good genetics but I was never a world record holder or anything.

It's worse for the relationship if it is the woman who cheats. If she does, she's lost attraction to the guy and the relationship is doomed. Men can cheat and remain attracted to their partners. If what you are aiming at is who is worse morally, I'd say it is equally bad or neutral or whatever your value system says about cheating. I wouldn't remain with a woman who cheated on me because I'd know she isn't into me anymore and never will be. No point in staying with her.

Probably because their role in ancient times was to go along with the herd rather than be decision makers, and they evolved with that trait being common. Take advantage of it. They love it when men are decisive. I've had some tell me how refreshing it is for them not to have to make decisions and to have a man call them with a specific plan for the date he is requesting.

No. Men are different from women in this respect.

It depends on the woman. Generalizing broadly, women into fitness are more used to, and some prefer, the shaved look. Women who aren't avid gym-goers often prefer the hairy chest look.

Oh sure, and another noticeable difference is that kids then were much more physically active and more social than they are now.

The men who are confused by this are those who do well in school, have good careers or career prospects, and who aren't comfortable in social situations. They regard recreational alcohol or drug use as a sin of some sort. They mistakenly think that one day, their SMVs will be so high that…

I don't read the material in the links as saying what you characterize it as saying. They basically say women aren't wired for monogamy because they eventually get bored of their partners and lose attraction. It isn't that they marry men they aren't attracted to or are attracted to less than the men they have affairs with; it's that attraction declines the longer they are together, and that causes some women to have affairs. A woman may be strongly attracted to the man she's having an affair wit…

It doesn't matter. Most people date and marry within their socioeconomic class. It doesn't change women's nature. I know a woman who makes 600k a year whose divorce dragged out because of her pressing for more favorable terms of alimony. Her and her ex husband being high earners didn't save him from getting squeezed for money. She didn't need the money but went after it anyway.

-Is it even possible to constantly inspire tingles in a woman, day after day, year after year to the point where [scenario listed above] doesn't happen? No, it's not possible. After a period of time in a relationship, the woman gets bored and attraction drops. She wants something different. Not necessarily higher SMV, just someone that isn't you.

No, but you're close. Women are attracted to their husbands in the dating and early marriage stages. After a period of time, that attraction wanes. If the guy is a slob, they'll say it's because he doesn't help out around the house. If he's a neat freak, they'll say it's because he let himself go. If he's a neat freak and looks good, they'll say its something else.

Make a conscious effort to speak slowly and in a low voice. When you're nervous speaking in public, you tend to speak faster (to hurry up and get it over with) and talk in a higher voice.

Now, if you get to a point where all you want to do is get high and neglect everything else, you'd need to change things.

The study doesn't make this clear, but the first sentence in the paragraph you quote leads me to believe that alimony was not included in measuring post-divorce incomes. The 5% increase in men's post-divorce incomes probably reflects typical pay raises in Germany at the time they were measured. It seems extremely unlikely that men's incomes would increase by 5% even after paying alimony. If that's the case, this study isn't terribly useful. What happens in Germany isn't very relevant to outcomes…

The relevant comparison, for purposes of deciding whether to enter into marriage, is whether you will be worse off financially after divorce than you would have been if you hadn't gotten married. If getting married and divorcing makes you worse off than if you hadn't gotten married, it's not much consolation to know that your ex is even worse off than you are. It wouldn't surprise me if, after doing this comparison, the average man is worse off as a result of getting married and divorced, and th…

In my experience, women don't outright say no when they are truly interested in sex. They'll instead say something like I normally don't do this so soon, I'm a good girl, maybe we should wait, I don't want you to lose respect for me, or things along those lines.

Demoting an LTR to a plate is mentioned a lot on here, mainly by guys who know theory but have little actual experience.

Your position sure sounds tradcon. Though many may find it reasonable, that doesn't make it a RP position. True, RP does not outright advocate deceit. But that's not the same as condemning deceit.

It's a good thing. If you like white women, quite a few of them are into guys like you. And black women probably like very masculine men even more than the average white woman, so you should do well with them if they interest you.

That is exactly what I saw at my boxing gym. People would come in and be gung ho and want to train everyday, and would soon get burned out and not be back. It's very draining in a way most people can't relate to. I think the 1-3 times per week recommendation is a good one for newbies. They can add to that as they gain experience and get really into it.

It's not just a handful of women who react negatively to seeing a man get emotional over a death or some other tragic event. Not all of them would bail on you like she did, but many would be less attracted to you and not treat you as well.

It's women who are always complaining about being sick or some malady. Yet because women have such contempt for wea…

Your responses aren't self deprecating. What Rollo is talking about in the quoted language is putting yourself down, even in a joking manner. You aren't doing that. If, in response to flaking, you had said "it's ok, one of the drawbacks to being (5'6", overweight, not handsome) is that girls flake on me a lot," your response would be self deprecating.

2 and 5 but without the telling her you are reaching out to former FWBs. Start talking to and socializing with other girls. The most important thing is your mindset. A girl who wants to make her LTR happy doesn't go to yoga classes with some guy she used to fuck. Therefore, don't treat her like an LTR. As you point out in 6, this will probably lead to it breaking off completely. If it does, at least you'll have some self respect.

In most cases he's right. Once a woman cheats, it's over. She's checked out. When she gets to that point, she has no more respect for her partner.

I'll refrain from critique of the program itself (deadlifting three times a week?) to raise two more specific questions. First, I don't get why SS advises beginners who aren't aspiring competitive powerlifters to do low bar squats. True, probably 75% of people can handle more weight that way, but is also causes more forward lean, makes hitting depth harder, and doesn't provide as good of a leg workout.

Of course an alpha can get betrayed in an LTR. At some point in a relationship, women get bored and want something different. It doesn't matter how alpha you are. Note that I said different, not someone with objectively higher SMV. Whether they act on it or not depends on the woman. Normally, this boredom fully manifests itself after cohabiting/marriage, but signs of it emerge before then.

No, you are. Beginners who are fat guys need to eat at a caloric deficit of maybe 500 per day and train hard. Body recomp is an achievable goal for fat beginners, particularly those under 25.

Nonsense. That's how tradcons rationalize women cheating, but it isn't reality. The truth is that after a period of time being married or cohabiting, women get bored and want something different.

What you are calling revenge cheating is just a rationalization she used. The girl who cheated on you 3 years later would have anyway; she'd just have used another excuse like "it just happened."

A lot of what you see on here is for beginners. Anything basic will work for them if they put in effort.

Tell her not to let the door hit her on the way out.

Don't contact her again. She isn't interested.

I'm going to address the bigger issue here and not the specific question that you asked. A common mistake I see on here is guys trying to use RP to achieve BP goals. These guys dream of meeting a woman who will love them for themselves and lovingly care for them in their old age. So when they are dating someone (they never have plates), they think they have a unicorn, reek of scarcity, become afraid of losing her, and implore her to be their exclusive LTR. That rarely works out. She has to ask y…

It's not a shit test. Her interest in you has dropped. She as much as said that she doesn't want to be in an LTR with you any longer. Get her things out of there and start talking to other girls. Don't make excuses for her or "give her the benefit of the doubt." This LTR has run its course.

Usually in these situations, she's using you to make her boyfriend jealous and doesn't intend to follow through. I would have handled like you did and ignored her.

Don't do anything. When they were ignoring you, you did the right thing by talking to other people. She's pissed? Good. She now knows your social life isn't dependent on her. Don't have any further discussions about it, and if she continues being disrespectful, soft next her.

Get past the intemperate language. He's using it for a purpose. There's a very important message contained in this post, and it should have many more upvotes. Those who are triggered by it should try this: re-read it slowly and stop after each paragraph and give some thought to the meaning rather than to the manner of delivery.

Some of the commenters are naive. Girls go on trips like this to drink and meet guys. The notion that if you have high SMV, you don't have anything to worry about, is wrong. I wouldn't say anything to her, but I wouldn't treat her as an LTR any longer. Nice of her not to talk to you about it before booking it, and to have booked it knowing you don't approve. Ignore these red flags at your peril.

You said most divorces don't have alimony because single incomes are rare. I don't have stats, but from what I've observed alimony occurs more often than not if one spouse makes more than the other. I gave the example to show that this holds true even in situations where the lower earning partner is quite well off. I thus wouldn't describe someone being ordered to pay alimony as an outlier. In your example, a court likely ordered the guy to pay child support and he didn't comply.

Why do you think he's immune from divorce and alimony if he marries this woman? She very well might do that after she's had kids and has no more use for him.

I dated a woman who makes over 400k a year. She got significant alimony. In this particular state, one of the largest in the U.S., alimony can be for life though I don't know if it is for her. She had no need for alimony, and she got hefty child support on top of that. She gleefully described to me how she put the squeeze on her ex and didn't need the money. It could have been a straightforward divorce yet she chose to run up legal bills to get back at her ex, and he probably had to pay her lega…

Good post. Some are being too quick to dismiss your insights. Self hypnosis is a useful tool for athletes. Years ago I became interested in self hypnosis and how it was used by advanced athletes. I got a book by a psychologist who was also a competitive lifter. At the time, I wanted to get my lifts as high as possible with physique a secondary focus. Before each workout, I would lie down and go through steps to achieve a very relaxed state. I'd then visualize myself performing each set and rep o…

I strongly suspect that male clients are part of the deal. That's primarily whom male escorts service. When I've heard about "muscle worship" (or bears), it is in the context of gay men. The notion that there are all these wealthy women who hire young male escorts is largely fictional. It happens, but there isn't a huge demand for it. Women aren't like gay men and don't react to the same stimuli.

If you go to a top school it can be worth it. If your current employer will promote you if you get an MBA, or if you are interested in a better paying position somewhere else that requires one, it's worth it. Otherwise I wouldn't recommend it.

I imagine the advice people gave this poor sap amounted to telling him to grovel and apologize and be thankful he has such a spirited woman, when the only things he should be doing is changing the locks and meeting with a lawyer. After doing that, he should check out the sidebar on this sub. Some think this sounds made up. I don't. I had something kind of like this happen during the miserable days I was married, and I wasn't BP. My experiences are why I'm skeptical of MRP and don't believe the n…

It's not too late. Former IPF powerlifting champion Walter Thomas didn't start lifting until he was 25. He eventually bench pressed over 500 and deadlifted over 800 in competition in the 198 weight class.

"Butt hurt" is a phrase mindlessly repeated on here without regard to context. Withholding attention from women who aren't interested is the proper way to proceed. Don't worry about how it looks or comes across.

Surveys don't become reliable and immune from methodology critique by virtue of their results being summarized in a pamphlet distributed by Harvard Medical School (there is no indication the "major survey" was designed and analyzed by "Harvard," not that it matters). Regardless, for men, divorce is involuntary more often than not. If one wished to assess whether marriage were beneficial to them, the relevant comparisons would be never married men with men who married, including men who were divo…

Studies purporting to show that marriage benefits men count divorced men as never married, and use sampling techniques designed to cherry pick the best of the married men and the worst of the unmarried men. The results are thus unsurprising and indeed foreordained given the shoddy methodology. The author of the article in the first link has written about the flaws in studies about the supposed benefits of marriage.

The best way to approach this is not to do it. You won't get an accurate answer, so there is no point from a personal growth perspective. She won't say something like "I got bored with you and got more attracted to some other guy." You'll instead get an answer that will steer you in the wrong direction. The only thing that matters is that she went cold and lost interest in seeing you. That happened because she lost attraction. It's up to you to figure out why that happened. As you gain experienc…

This question or a variation has been asked a lot on here. You should search and read the responses. One thing to disabuse yourself of is that a wife means you'll have someone there to care for you when you are old and make your old age worthwhile. The older they get and the longer they are with their husbands, the more women hate their husbands. Listen to how middle aged women talk about their husbands sometime. I'm in my early 50s. I have so many opportunities I can't pursue them all, and that…

My remarks are directed to people who use self improvement as an excuse not to interact socially. I'm not advising against self improvement. There are people who are on track career wise, who lift diligently, and who need work on social skills. These people shouldn't continue to neglect social skills in the hope that one day, their SMV will be so high women will flock to them.

It could be that she didn't enjoy the sex. Judging from your comments, however, there is likely more to it. You, as a man, should not be trying to lock women down in an LTR as quickly as possible. Guys desperate for a relationship give off an attraction killing vibe. You are basically telling her that women don't desire you and as a result, you are eager to get in a relationship with anyone who'll have you. There's no quicker way to dry up panties. It makes her feel that you don't regard her as …

You are more invested in the LTR than she is, which isn't a good sign for it lasting. She's putting her career over you. You are putting her over your goals in life. If you want to move to Hawaii, move to Hawaii, but don't live with this girl or expect the LTR to continue for much longer.

No, you shouldn't. You don't want to be mixed up with a thief. This isn't some kid prank she did though it sounds like it was punished like one. In my experience people like this don't change their ways. That doesn't mean she'll commit crimes all the time. But one day 10 years from now she might do something like embezzle from an employer or clean out your savings. Avoid people like her.
