In the ultimate irony, I came across a very RedPill thread in r/foreveralone. If you've ever visited that sub, it's basically a bunch of omegas complaining about being too shy or ugly to ever get laid. And for the most part, they're right.
But once in a while, there's an interesting development during the pity party and some of them start to view the world realistically, since they are on the absolute losing side of sexual strategy. This thread is an example.
Summary: 27 year old virgin starts thinking about why he is a kissless virgin, realizes that it may have something to do with being raised by a single mom.
I tend to do a lot of introspection about "where it all went wrong" and lately I've been thinking about the roots of my "Nice Guy" behavior. I've been critical of the recently popular perspective that Nice Guys are actually evil patriarchal monsters because as a former Nice Guy myself, I recognize how much of my behavior was actually rooted in the feminist beliefs I took away from years of conditioning at school and from TV.
Very true. And to take it a step further, the Nice Guy meme has been perpetuated by - you guessed it, feminism. Remember the 90s, when the media claimed that the best men were the "sensitive" guys who were in touch with their "feminine side" and did their share of chores around the house? This poison infiltrated its way beyond Hollywood and into the minds of young boys, who then grew up solidly bluepill and frustrated that they couldn't even land a date, let alone have sex like their hormones were demanding.
My parents divorced when I was three years old or thereabouts and my mom took primary custody of me. Mom soon started dating my future step dad, "Barry". Barry was conspicuously chivalrous. I noticed that whenever we drove anywhere together my mom would just sit there in her seat after we had parked and she wouldn't exit the vehicle until Barry opened the door for her. One day after we got back from an outing and Barry had left, I asked her why she always waited for Barry to open the door for her. I told her I knew she didn't need help getting in and out of the car because we went places together all the time without Barry and I could see that she got in and out of the vehicle just fine on those days. Mom agreed that she was perfectly capable of getting in and out of the vehicle herself. She said that she waited for Barry to open the door for her to give him an opportunity to be a gentleman. Mom explained that being a gentleman made Barry a catch and that when I got old enough to be interested in girls that's how I should try to win a girl's heart as well.
Tl;dr: Alpha fux, beta bux. OP's mom most likely had kids with a man endowed with alpha traits, and when she was dumped she started looking for a provider. She found this provider in the form of Barry, the "nice guy" who always opened doors for her and waited on her hand and foot.
As a result, OP grew up with a single mom's perspective on life and was severely socially retarded as a result - he admits this himself. And this points out a very important redpill truth: women don't know shit about what women want. Of course his mom espoused the virtues of being nice and submissive. Because women have to be kind, gentle and submissive to win the hearts of most men out there. She didn't stop to consider that maybe since OP was a guy, the female strategy wouldn't work out for him.
Men need men to learn sexual strategy. Men need direct advice pure of all the bullshit that feminized society feeds us. And if they don't get it - well, you've seen the result. They post on r/foreveralone as 27 year old suicidal depressed omegas. This is why we need TheRedPill.
Please read the post and all of the replies. Some of the commenters - longstanding FA members themselves - seem to be awakening to the truth as well.
Postboned 10y ago
Holy shit. There is so much RP in that one post. I am proud of that guy, truly.
SwissPablo 10y ago
The FA members, and some people here too, I'm sure, get downhearted because all they can see is the end result and the gulf between them and it. If only they knew that with initially small changes to things like diet, routine, presentation, and a little bit of perspective, that dreamed-of acceptance by women - and more crucially themselves - may not be as far off as they imagine.
What FA really needs is some kind of Trojan horse, some RP'd guys with the time and inclination to infiltrate the sub and gently introduce RP.
Cyralea 10y ago
Reminds me of Scott Aaronson, MIT professor. Slowly and surely the beta/omega males are waking up to what a raw deal they were given. The internet is making it impossible for them to stay in the dark forever. I don't expect all of them to adopt RP principles, but like Aaronson I think the majority will eventually reject the gynocentric paradigm, given enough time.
BlackHeart89 10y ago
In many incidents, I'm surprised it took so long. Growing up, I kept witnessing things that contracted the blue pill thoughts. Visiting TRP just sped things up for me, exponentially.

He doesn't seem to have "woken up" very much; if anything he comes off as even more of a Quisling weak-arsed pussy whipped nonentity. (And I really want my 10 minutes back of reading through that drivel, looking for ANY evidence at all that he had gotten his eyes opened... 'cause I never found it.)
I mean I get it -- if he wants to keep his career in academia he basically has to be a boot-licking self-castrated eunuch ... but egads.
Cyralea 10y ago
Consider that this guy works at Feminazi Ground Zero, a liberal post-secondary academic institution, you can't imagine him to go full RP or even 25% RP. The fact that this guy, of all people, is starting to question the veracity of feminism's claims is a marker for the coming paradigm shift.
Once a critical mass of betas becomes aware of the nature of feminism, more outright rejection of its more misandrist principles will be rejected.
Absinthe99 10y ago
I saw zero evidence of anything of the kind.

SilentForTooLong 10y ago
How far do you want him to wake up exactly?
He's at least defending the idea of female privilege, and attacking the notion of male privilege, which is insanely radical for someone in his position.
Absinthe99 10y ago
What evidence is there that he has woken up at all? OP included a link to an article and there was an implication that if I clicked and read I would see evidence of it... I saw none.
And you think that is "waking up"? Wow.

rKremlin 10y ago
That's about it. And she can pull guys way out of her league. This is what you get when men have no pride or self respect. A race to the bottom and a life filled with trash fish if your lucky. She's what's waiting at the end of the blue pill rainbow. Enjoy.
Fen94 10y ago
hi...if the only people who wanted to fuck you were plain women who thought you were a god and would get over attached and possessive if you slept with them, or hot women who would fuck literally anyone and do it really badly not caring whether you had a really rubbish time (oh and then hate you for having so little respect for yourself you dirty worm) would you realllllyyyyy rather do that than wait around for a relationship?
rKremlin 10y ago
Plain woman isn't an issue. I can fix her up. But ugly, fat, shapeless, those I can't deal with. The question then might as well be would you rather a pretty man or an ugly woman.
Fen94 10y ago
I think you're severely over-estimating how much you can genuinely change a person, without resorting to emotional abuse.
Well then, which is it? I personally would prefer the pretty man, all things considered. But I'm attracted to men.
rKremlin 10y ago
It's simple. New wardrobe, exercise, hair and makeup, positive attitude, and it should be good. You have to spin it like you are spoiling her. But don't lose frame of course.
Fen94 10y ago
But surely if someone did this to someone, they'd see it? Like, if a new woman in your life started gifting you clothes, and making you exercise, get your hair cut, and tried to spin it like she was spoiling you, how would you feel?
Personally, I'd feel a little insulted, and I think I'd rather be on my own than that. The sex wouldn't be good if all I felt was insecure about them wanting me to be someone else; it would be mechanical.

RAGING_ERECTION 10y ago
Gender dynamics are going to get very interesting in the next 10 years or so.
Feminism will just keep pushing more and more until men have literally no social power whatsoever. I sincerely believe there will be some kind of legally enforced cuckoldry / AFBB in the future.
Omegas and betas will get more and more angry and I believe 1 or more of the following will happen;
We will see a huge rise in men adopting RP principles and concepts.
Huge rise in MGTOW.
Huge rise in male suicide rates (but no one will really care)
Honestly, I think the most likely outcomes are numbers 2 and 3.
Yangel 10y ago
Hasn't 4 already started happening? I think there was another virgin killer in the news.
Fen94 10y ago
*until the lines of gender are completely erased, people forced to treat eachother like individuals instead.
So, legally, there can be no gender distinction.
People who cling to sexism (and I mean that with the least possible stigma) will be frustrated at the complexity of this new system which they will feel doesn't fit with the natural order of dating and relationships
there will be a huge rise in people opting out of the dating world people who are already sexist will be pushed further into the logical conclusion, redpill and power-based relationships of these people there will probably be a rise in suicides, but overall rates may drop, because men who become "manginas" will be more open with their emotions, like women who commit suicide less, and there will be less trans suicides, because gender's no longer a restrictive thing
more men who believe in sexism making pleas for help with sadistic acts of mass violence...only suceeding in pushing more men further away
Honestly, I think you're right, but only for a small minority of people who care about sex/gender. Most people will choose a genderless world, because it's freer, and a lot of people like that.

That was me as well, bro. Except it happened to me way before the internet so no resources were available like this 80s-90s. I was never into feminism per say, but I sure was into the nice guy frame. Put myself through school, great career, bought a house, and yet I was still alone while my pizza delivering friends were getting laid. Then I met a soon to be hitting the wall chick. It just all makes perfect sense now, but too little too late. Bet your damned ass I will be teaching my 2 sons about this shit.

nicethingyoucanthave 10y ago
I would like to point out that a key difference between TRP and other "manosphere" ideologies is that by our defining principle, we accept reality.
The forever alone types and the incels just seem to be wallowing in self-pity. "If only things were different" they cry. But things aren't different, so why bother fantasizing? We say: here's reality. We say: this is what women respond positively to. Build or accentuate those qualities if you can, do your best to emulate them if you can't.
"But that's not fair!" they whine. TRP doesn't deal in what's fair, only in what is. Fairness is an issue of morality. It's not for us to decide what's fair - indeed, nature is rarely fair.
To continue the thought, MGTOWs seem to be largely about anger at women (or perhaps, at our present culture). I realize that anger, and even the whining mentioned above, may sometimes creep in here, but I don't think this is what TRP is about. And unlike MGTOWs, we have a way of excising it: I accept reality. I am no more angry at women for being women than I would be angry at a rain cloud for raining on me. It'd just be a waste of my time, and my time is precious.
And finally, TRP is not activism. We aren't trying to change the world. That's MRA territory. All we do is accept reality.
I'm sorry that you were lied to by society. You very likely were set up for failure in sexual relationships and you probably wasted a decade or more being frustrated, confused, and shit on. But what are you going to do now - today and for the rest of your life?? You can waste more time crying about the past. You can waste more time with anger, stomping your feet like a child and screaming, "it shouldn't be this way!" You can give up (and in all honesty, I can kind of respect a guy who says it's not worth the effort - I'm only criticizing people who whine about it).
...you can go the blue pill way and bury your head in the sand. You can believe in magic and unicorns and you can just keep on "being yourself" and being patient. I mean, you'll end up like this but you know, whatever.
Or you can accept reality - even when you don't like it - even when it sucks - even when it means you've already missed out on a lot of great opportunities because of the lies you believed. You can do your best from here on and make the most of what you've got left.
And maybe you never achieve much success. Maybe reality is that nobody will ever love you because you're short and stupid. TRP isn't a magical potion that makes women like you. It's just the truth, and often the truth is that you aren't going to win. Rejection is just a part of life for guys. That's another reality you have to accept. It's a numbers game.
All you can do is try though - and crying isn't trying.
Silhouettedweirdo 10y ago
thank god i found this sub-reddit.my dad was an alpha guy but he died when i was 12 before he had the oppurtunity to actually teach me about dating. i was always the timid guy that was nice to everyone. but i didnt know how to say no. i hardly dated and i was always told that women like the super romantic sensitive guy. and took that advice and became soft. every girl i dated i put on a pedestal and i was whipped. my best friend constantly called me out on it. i always ignored him thinking hes bullshitting. but he did way better than me. he always had women orbiting. i was always normal around girls i knew. which landed me in another relationship. i ended up constantly using my mothers advice when i dated. i ended up pulling out the pedestal again and fucked that up. but lately. i started listening to the black phillip show all over again. its made me sit and rethink. my biggest weakness is approaching women. i can make brief eye contact in a group and hold it there. i know im slightly witty but i fuck up when it comes to starting conversation. it gets hard carrying it all.

Authoritarianism doesn't mean "the same". Nat Soc Germany was a lot different than communist Soviet Russia, despite both being authoritarian. If you look at modern conservatives and liberals you will see only a small variation in government control, however the ideology and policies behind them differ greatly.
ContinentalRP 10y ago
I don't get why you are getting downvoted? This is quite a good description. The horseshoe theory states that when a movement moves to an extremity (like extreme right or extreme left in politics), at some point it comes back to look like the other extreme. We've got to admit that TRP is pretty extreme in how far it's removed from r/foreveralone, it seems so far that they're curling back to us.
CisWhiteMaelstrom 10y ago
I don't think TRP ever claimed not to be an extremist group. The very idea of shunning everything you're taught from a young age and engineering all of your actions to fit a not-so-loosely-defined set of ideals while studying a very non-accepted view of the nature of humanity is extreme. I'm not even sure what a non-extreme red piller would look like. Granted, there's a spectrum of how extreme we get but it's not like we have true moderates. In fact, if you're ideology is one that you can't even share with your acquaintances do to how unpalatable it is to those who don't buy it, it's probably not a moderate ideology.
silly_bird 10y ago
And by that we'd have to admit that we're curling back towards them.
ContinentalRP 10y ago
I hoped someone would read over that...but that is the inevitable conclusion.
CisWhiteMaelstrom 10y ago
We actually have a lot of those elements. Most of us came here because we weren't successful, weren't happy, and weren't real men. We have a lot of precursors from the MRM or MGTOW to PUA but perhaps the most important precursor is BP or even FA. We mix them together in a unique way and couple it all with a powerful drive to change things and a confidence that we can do it, but a lot of the ideas are shared.
NabroleonBonaparte 10y ago
I wonder how that would look. I see it implying that in the end RPrs become MGTOW.
The FAs not having women in their lives because of lacking the necessary game etc. and neo-MGTOWs having so much experience with women (plate-spinning, ONS, etc) that they eventually reject them entirely to pursue a higher cause.
Two things which look similar but one embraces victimhood and the other rejects involvement.
ContinentalRP 10y ago
Though the opposite ends grow toward each other, they never touch, and they're still on the opposite end. So indeed, two things that at certain aspects might look similar can be extremely different in reality.

NAmember81 10y ago
I learned the hard way about taking women's advice on female attraction. I use to not give a fuck about what women thought and was successful as hell with them up until I was 25 or so. Then I got shamed by women and beta dudes in my community for "using" them and being an "asshole" and I actually fell for it and tried to "improve" myself and be a "nice guy". Well, after that detrimental change for the supposeed better was the longest dry spell and worse success with women I've experienced in my life. And foolishly I thought my lack of success was because I was still an "asshole woman user" and went further downhill. I'm just now waking up to the huge load of bullshit I was fed by the shaming, jealous, beta guys and sour post wall women.
cocaine_face 10y ago
I did a similar thing when an ex and I broke up about a year and a half after I discovered PUA.
I ended things with her - because she was near wall and talking babies all the time. But I really, really liked her otherwise. I rationalized it as me losing her because I was an, "asshole", and decided to go full on blue pill.

If you're so hideous you can't get laid and it's not something permanent, fix it! Grow some balls, be someone of value, whatever, just don't blame your mom! What kind of fucking omega shit is that?!
eastbaythrowaway22 10y ago
Seriously, it's not that hard. I don't get why some men pity themselves so much. Hit the gym, learn some style, stop being so socially awkward, lock down your financial situation (for yourself, obviously), and go get laid. It ain't that hard.

I used to visit that subreddit. It's one the most fucking dreary and hopeless pages on reddit.
But none of them are waking up. A few of them are even spouting the usual anti-TRP talking points. But whatever. That's their problem. If they want to continue down their path to life failure, let them. It really is sad since you'd think the people who understand what it's like to be unsuccessful with women by being nice guys would have TRP click with them and their experiences.

I was in a similar boat as this poor dude, maybe the same as some of you are: nice and chivalrous win the day, though that day is probably next week.
This is why I've never accepted my mom's insistence on setting me up. Every one of the girls she has tried to bring to me has been like a 5. And since I was raised pretty religious, banging was out of the question. I don't want the kind of girl my mom wants to set me up with, I want the kind of girl that I can get on my own, especially if that means bettering myself to raise the bar a little.
Then again, I really mostly dig white chicks and, being black, this is not what my mom wants for me. She once sat next to me with my middle school yearbook, found the four black girls in there, picked the cutest one and tried to get me to react.

There was a point in my life at which I was so fucking low I could have, but at the whim of a flipped coin, taken the red pill path or the forever alone path. The latter is less of a path and more of a slippery slope and the former is more like a cliff face. I am still climbing that cliff face, but I know that I am a far better man for trying.
Deresetese 10y ago
I've been reading around /r/foreveralone in the past. I didn't really identify as one of them, but some of the things really resonated with me. The similarities with this subreddit are imense. Just that one side has given up and the other side has not.
These people understand what women and society is like. They understand what it takes to be successful, they understand their own problems.
The origin of both communities are emotionally and sexually desperate men. Both communities developed a similar worldview.
I think that many people on there could better their lifes by reading TRP and living it.
At my lowest point I've found out about /r/foreveralone, it helped me because it can give comfort. Then I discovered TRP and found a way to actually use the discovery that society is fucked up in my favor.
It's not that the subreddit wakes up, I think that there's a natural development from foreveralone to TRP after hitting your low.

Excellent observation. Even though I'm certainly not a virgin, I feel "forever alone" in that I don't feel like I'll ever be able to marry, have a long term partner, or have a relationship in the way I had assumed was possible for most of my life.

A Mom will always raise her son to be that which she couldn't get from guys when she was young. So if she pined after alphas and couldn't get them to be nice to her, she will teach the son to be nice. She will assume everything else as given.
yougotshitonyourass 10y ago
I think that's not the real motive here, look the common denominator of all the nice guys^TM They care about every one and their mother are the first on the list, the result is that they keep being used & abused by their mom first and other people after.
Look how Nice guys rationalize that not helping their mothers is the worst sin on earth even when the said mother keep abusing them.

I disagree. The mother always seeks maximum affection from her son and will always give blue pill advice to her son. Fish can't teach a fisherman. The father must give his son the red pill through his example and teaching.

Single moms actually get social accolades -- "Wow, so brave! She's doing it all on her own... wow... so admirable..."
BULL FUCKING SHIT.
We should be shaming these women, as mankind has done for the past 40,000 years. They have created a burden on their family and their tribe by having children irresponsibly.
Now, we have alimony and child-support. To quote that awesome black guy on YouTube, "The U.S. Government has turned into Captain Save-a-Ho."
BlackHeart89 10y ago
Definite bullshit. I feel sorry for them. Most women growing up are just ignorant and don't realize it until its too late.
I hate to say it, but shaming them may be the only way to discourage other women from following in their path. Not that I have anything against single mothers, but seriously... shaming them would be effective. Sort of fucked up, but thats life.
America is truly Captain Save-a-Ho. Have 4 kids and working part-time at a minimum wage job? No problem. Here's some MORE money! Having a 5th kid and just lost your job? STILL single? No problem! Here's EVEN MORE money! Its pretty much encouraged at this point to be a single mother.
SwissPablo 10y ago
But but but deadbeat dads etc, wayward fathers etc, men not taking responsibility and walking away from mothers who bravely have to bring up the children by themselves! It's all men's fault and totally not the brave and strong single mother who was merely a victim of- listen, it takes two to tango.
gargarisma 10y ago
true fuckin dat. My mom was a single mother (she finally snatched up a chump to pay the bills while she retires at 46 because working is too stressful), I fucking despised the arrangement. She's your quintessential neurotic fuckup who got her ego gassed up by her friends about how brave and strong she was. Meanwhile I spent my entire childhood wondering where the fuck my father was and why she divorced him and never let me establish any sort of contact with him. I hate single mothers. I might even hate them to an unhealthy degree, because I know most of them are fuckups and idiots.

This.
Considering how much single mothers are touted as the best thing since sliced bread and heroines of our age on a constant basis and from all sides, most women I know who are one are trashy and of the "keep a distance of at least 10 ft"-type. I really wonder what kind of single moms all those journalists and Hollywood authors know, because they sure as hell aren't the norm.
krakosia 10y ago
look at the other side of it - how gullible is the majority of the population that what was once upon a time(less than 20 years ago) conventional wisdom - single parenting is bad- is now considered a taboo thought and single parents(women) are lauded for their efforts.
gargarisma 10y ago
They know the upper middle class ones with advanced degrees. The very, very small minority. They might do better financially and culturally as a result of being born into a higher class, but I guarantee you their kids still have some underlying issues as a result of being fatherless.
exit_sandman 10y ago
That's the worst thing about it - those single moms I knew most of my life weren't even from the gutter, they were mostly middle class women, just shamelessly CC-riding ones (I recently got to know a couple of lower class ones, they weren't much better than them).
Sephar 10y ago
Same goes for the men who impregnate these women, though. A lot of men don't have their shit together (not using contraception and not having children responsibly). Ultimately it's a paradigm problem that permeates all of society.
zephyrprime 10y ago
The onus is on the woman because it's women who decide who get's to fuck and more often than not, they choose emotional loser douchebags because that's who they like.
leftajar 10y ago
Couldn't disagree more.
Unless a woman was raped, the responsility is on her, and even moreso her family to make sure she trades her sex wisely.
This is why arranged marriages are so common across time and culture. Imagine you're the male head of a household, in any pre-Information-Age place or time. You have a newly pregnant wife, and life is great. However, she births a daughter, which is problem: daughters can't work as hard; they don't carry the family name; and you will eventually marry them into someone else's family, losing your entire investment. So what's the rational solution? You teach her feminine charm, and you seclude her to protect her virginity (aka SMV). When she comes of age, you begin carefully screening suitors. After settling on the right man, you PAY A DOWRY to the suitor's father, which is a particular type of bribe. "Please take this useless female off our hands. You'd be doing us a solid."
So, that sucks. But, the alternatives suck much, much worse. If you didn't control your daughter, she could show up one day pregnant by some farm boy. Then her SMV is absolutely ruined and she will never marry a respectable man. Then she's basically stuck in your household until you die, at which point she'll face even worse options: prostitution, begging, or grinding at the ultra-low-wage jobs available to women.
Make no mistake: the onus is a woman's family to make sure she gets pregnant by the right guy. Of course, Uncle Sam has removed any possible negative incentive for single motherhood, which is why we see so much of it. Even worse, they incentivize it by making welfare payments a factor of how many kids you have.
Hussein_79 10y ago
You are very ignorant. In a lot of cultures (including mine), the husband's family pays the bride's family a dowry. Why? Because a good wife is the GREATEST GIFT a man could ask for.
BlackHeart89 10y ago
I agree to a point. But at the end of the day, a man needs to be a man. Don't impregnate a chick if you don't intend on helping raising your child. Both parties are fuck ups.
Sephar 10y ago
I'm not saying the responsibility is not on her, but as a man you simply don't impregnate someone whom you're convinced of shouldn't be the mother of your child. Your genes are something valuable and (however counterproductive in terms of evolution) are something that a high-value alpha male can use as leverage. It is the ultimate prize for women.
LordPorker 10y ago
Tom Leykis mentioned some guy (USA) was going out with a single mother, and was forced by the courts to pay child support! All because the child saw him as a 'father'.

Daughters can be an asset provided you shepherd her smv as you mentioned. Caesar and pompeys alliance lasted due to his daughters marriage to him. When she died Pompey turned on him quickly.

That's a good point. Daughters were used to forge alliances between families, especially at the level of nobility. Charm + virginity + hotness = SMV.

I am having trouble understanding how you rationalize this as a one sideed responsibility.

Because women can't get pregnant against their will. Women can trick men into impregnating them, but the reverse is not true. Full choice means full responsibility.

cdx75xmx 10y ago
I think Its more of a case of women not remembering what they wanted when they were younger. Older women who have already reproduced aren't looking for alpha sperm, they're looking for providers. Women with children WANT betas, not alphas, and they forget that when they were younger and child-free all they craved was alpha cock - and ewwwww gross fuck those "nice guys".
Men who have been raised by women. whose fathers have been absent for one way or another, are over-exposed to advice on how to pick up 35 year old women w/ kids, when they really need guidance on how to pull the child-less 20-somethings.

If you dominate the relationship you have the freedom to make it what you will, that is the beauty of this knowledge.

Peter Thiel co-founded Paypal with Elon Musk, he predicted the dot com bubble and the the real estate bubble, and the coolest thing is that he predicts a new bubble in education.
I think when the fundamental value of a thing is much less than it is given it is essentially bubble prone.
He is in my opinion a perceptive economist and a straight talker.
Investment is about relative truths, the kinds of truths you might put on a scale of "trueness" as opposed to binary or absolute truths. Peter Thiel is good at navigating relative truths in economy.

makethemsayayy 10y ago
Hahah that's a hilarious way to look at it, but women are terrible at driving, and I personally believe they don't understand the rhythm of a car and what the car likes, they just blindly press on the gas ignoring even the gear-changing in an automatic. You know how you can tell how a car likes to be driven? Yeah women can't. They'll stop accelerating RIGHT when the car is about to change gears, and break oddly, just fucking with the tranny and engine.
revengeofthecrazy 10y ago
Yes. They don't know what mechanical workings are going on in the car and they don't care. A car isn't a machine to them, it's an idea. They expect it "to just work", if something bad happens "it didn't perform like it was supposed to", read "I didn't get what I felt I deserved." Women are like this with all technical things, they push through them with their emotions and their ignorance. If it breaks, it was shit.
Women have no appreciation for material things and they abuse them whether they own them or their man does. They actually love destroying their man's stuff because they get off on wasting his possessions.
Examples:
My mother uses too much water in the shower so it flows over the edge of the basin into the wooden floor. My dad complains to me about it and tells me he's told her a million times to stop doing it. But she doesn't care and keeps doing it. ("If it doesn't work how I want, it's shit and it's his fault he can't make it work for me.")
My ex was using a hair drier with a broken casing and you could see the motor through the wide cracks. She used it carelessly and swung her dripping wet hair around the room. I told her she was in danger of death doing that, I took the hair dryer away and stored it for recycling. Two days later, she was using it again. Bitch was too stupid to know what electricity or death even mean, she actually had a new one in a box.

QQ_L2P 10y ago
My sister reversed into a 10 metre tall tree on the edge of my driveway twice before we decided to put in parking sensors.
She's also scratched her car multiple times and drives at 60 mph in the left hand lane because she's scared of going faster on the motorways. She drives one of those dinky A-classes (automatic), no idea how she managed to hit anything in that thing.
Also saw a woman driving a Fiat Punto try to go from behind a stationary Ford Transit to its right hand side. You know what she did, she misjudged the distance of a stationary vehicle and caught her rear wheel arch on the side of the van. Not the bumper, the actual vertical side. Now, you'd think reversing while going opposite lock would be the obvious solution when you accidentally make contact and get stuck... Nope! She floored it and put a huge scrape down the side of her car and the van. Man was the van driver pissed. Certainly didn't help that the woman tried to drive off like nothing had happened, lol.
Women are generally worse drivers. Whenever I see a car driving erratically or illogically, 90% of the time it's a woman driving, 8% of the time it's an elderly driver and 2% of the time it's men who are just as equally garbage at driving.
Male drivers are more aggressive, they'll drive faster and take more risks (surprise surprise), but how they drive is logical. There's "method to their madness" so to say.
My mum's a surprisingly good driver though. She still has her derp moments from time to time but she's definitely a cut above the majority of female drivers I've had the misfortune of dealing with.

UlyssesElias 10y ago
I went to the original post on Forever Alone and reading it made me really sad. It's hard to know what kind of relationship this guy has with his father and biological father but I wonder where these two men are in his life?
He obviously has a really intense relationship with his mother that he sees only in sexual terms. Her mothering has failed him because she has failed to equip him for sex.
I just feel terribly sad when I read this. I hope this guy can forge strong relationships with other relatives and friends besides just his mother. Nobody, man or woman can grow into a fully rounded human if they don't learn from other relationships with friends and relatives: fathers, brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, grandparents and cousins. To have only an intense relationship with your mother is too imbalanced. The best thing is for him to restore proper balance is by pursuing friends and family connections that even out such a lopsided world view

I don't see it as evil, but there are some guys that emanate high levels of fake nice guy and it disgusts me. My friend tells me about a coworker who tries hard to look good and shows up to meetings he doesn't need to be in. It's obvious enough to warrant buying him some knee pads. In his personal life he's so whipped it kind of grosses me out. I saw a picture of him his 2 kids and wife and started making fun of him saying his wife had to purposefully buy turquoise shit for everyone just for that picture. Cause no one just has family matching turquoise clothes sitting around. I was joking, but I realized how butthurt he was later when he would make feeble weak attempts to try and shit talk me.
Honestly all of that wouldn't bother me that much if I didn't know he was on a leash and had to leave work at 3 every day and would never grab lunch anywhere because he had no rights to his own money. I realize that the strategy of most males/females in the south seem to be get married in college or asap, but there is a threshold where I will lose all respect for someone.

What exactly is he faking, he wasn't being nice to get in her pants because he already got that, he is doing everything he ask because thats all he knows.
We keeping thinking fake nice guy = a guy you simply don't like

Anyone who does things for the benefit in themselves in a way that is brown-nosing or gives all their power to other people come off as fake to me. Doesn't show up to meetings because he wants to contribute or get off at 3 because he has actual things he needs to do. He does it to kiss ass to his boss/wife/anyone he may consider superior. In turn the typical"nice guys" also come off as fake.
Whatever he may be and what a "nice guy" is may not be equivalent in definition but the fake vibe results in the same resultant perception and feeling which is disgust.

that's because it is fake. These guys are acting that way not because they want to but because they expect something in return. That's why overly nice people make people feel uncomfortable. They don't understand the implicit request for reciprocity that's in their behavior.
The hard part is recognizing you're being fake because they think they're being genuinely good guys

OP is acting the way he acts because he is getting a return, if being nice worked for him he would be doing it
Overly nice is not even needed to kill attraction, nice guy is simply a guy who has adopted the female sexual strategy.
Girls like masculine guys, girls are submissive, being nice guy(tm) is submissive. Nice guys ask a girl where to go , instead of suggesting a place.
You make it seem nice guys are the type of guy to give a girl a car and get mad when they don't sleep with them.
That's pretty much everyone on any level, your job, your wife, your friends. You are always expecting a return in your investment, if you friend don't make you happy and give you those chemicals you get new friends
tl;dr your suppose to extract value and get something in return in every relationship, the problem is treating girls like you want to be treated is the wrong way.

paying for dinner and letting her choose the restaurant are minor fouls. However why miss a opportunity to get her to view you as alpha early on.
killego 10y ago
That's an absurd example -- but yes they are those type of guys.
There's a difference between your friend doing something that you like and your friend doing something because he thinks you'll like it.
That's the difference between real and fake people.

Nice guys treat people how they want to be treated, they treat you very nice and hopes you will treat them nice, they haven't learn how to negotiate properly.
Lets take bowing in china, if you bow to someone in the USA you are going to be seen as the biggest douche in the world, however if you don't bow in china you are consider rude and disrespectful.
Are Chinese people fake? no they are bowing to make friends, keep cultural norms, follow social rules, nice guys have been given the wrong social rules, they aren't faking anything, I felt like a complete asshole for the longest time when I stop being nice guy tm.

I get what you're saying, but I feel compelled to point out that friends do things because their friends like them all the time. Although, the fucking them for doing so afterward isn't really a thing.
At least, not for me.
makethemsayayy 10y ago
lol im sure any girl would fuck a guy for a car if he had the balls to downright say it.
SilentForTooLong 10y ago
The only ones that would not are the ones who are already wealthy by birth.
bitches_be_crazy86 10y ago
Stop with this bullshit. Sure it's so fake to expect reciprocity and being treated like a human being.
It's sloots shaming men into being a beta slave and ask nothing in return.
It's like saying work for 50 hours a week and if you employer doesn't pay you then you weren't working hard enough.
crazytrpr 10y ago
If your employer doesn't pay you then you go on strike or change jobs. Guys who constantly do favors for women hoping to get sex are like punk bitch employees who keep working expecting to get paid. They are viewed as chumps or less commonly very dangerous threats.
Not right just is
killego 10y ago
read No More Mr Nice Guy. I don't think I'm getting my point across
bitches_be_crazy86 10y ago
Nahh you don't get it.
It's not that they want men to stop being nice guys tm. They want them to be helpless BETA orbiters ready to jump through hoops.
They just want it no strings attached - be a beta and don't expect anything or you're a creep/manipulative jerk.
Reciprocity is fundamental to society, economics etc. Without it there wouldn't be shops as no one would pay for shit but just steal.
Why work if you can't expect to get paid ? Everything around us is built on the basis of commonly understood rules and we have things in place to correct those who ignore them.
Women want the nice guys to exist - they want to take advantage of them but want to avoid any accountability for it or even feeling bad for it. Thus shame shifting / creep shaming.
Shaming the nice guys is esentially their fight to keep AF BB status quo in place. Eat a cake and have it too.
QQ_L2P 10y ago
The things you mentioned, reciprocity and equivalent exchange, are almost exclusively male traits, because men deal primarily in logic and there's a fundamental understanding that cooperation is required to get things done. Bro's before ho's and all that.
As far as I can tell, what you're saying is that Women want Nice Guys to exist because they are part of their pluralistic sexual strategy (AFBB), where as the other fella is trying to explain where Nice Guys come from.
A boy raised right will be naturally Red Pill. He'll know his own value, how to validate himself from within and how to enforce his own boundaries. He won't ever need to read things like TRP or frequent a PuA forum, because it's been taught to him by someone (usually the dad) who understood what was going on around them. Nice guys arise when there's an error in the childs upbringing. They are neglected in some way or taught values that do not benefit them. In the world of the child, their greatest fear is abandonment. Conversely, their greatest validation is recognition by their parents. Nice guys are formed when the child feels like they have to act a certain way (not be themselves and put on an act) to get that validation from their parents. The book goes into it in far more detail, but that's the gist of it.
You're both right, but watching you two talk is like a Chinese person trying to read Cyrillic for the first time. It's rather amusing to watch you two argue two different points and neither of you giving an inch.
killego 10y ago
Have you read the book? no. i get you're in the anger phase but willfully misunderstanding shit to stay there isn't going to help you at all
bitches_be_crazy86 10y ago
Which part of it suggest anger phase ? I don't think you can explain your ideas properly
killego 10y ago
uh maybe the fact that you just insulted me....
SparkyTemper 10y ago
I was raised by a single mom and then a BP step-dad. Learning now (at 45) what I should have learned as a child just pisses me off. Like I needed another reason to dislike her. And I only have daughters so can't even pass this stuff down.
UlyssesElias 10y ago
Of course you can pass this stuff down. What on earth are you teaching your daughters? You're providing them with an example of what type of boyfriends/lovers/partners/husbands they should look for
Sks44 10y ago
Ami can identify with that dude. Being raised in a single parent home with just a mom can make you see things from a pretty ducked up perspective. Any advice for someone with similar issues?
