One of the defining characteristics of man is his predilection for sacrifice.
A man is expected to go off to war to die or get maimed, while the men at home pay more taxes so that women can have free birth control and raise college tuition rates due to Title IX.
But why do this? Why put in more effort when it doesn't benefit you in any way?
Pulling on this thread is the key to finding the blue pill conditioning inside you.
Delayed gratification; holding off on immediate reward to receive more reward later. This idea has to be planted into the psyche of child and nurtured over many years until a man's entire identity is ego-invested into his ability to sacrifice for the "greater good". Like a pavlovian dog you're conditioned to do certain things using covert contracts.
-
Eat your veggies and you'll get two scoops of ice cream for dessert instead of one.
- Charge grandma $10 to rake the leaves, or do it for free because you know she'll slip a $20 in your coat pocket when you're not looking.
- Be a good boy and Santa will bring you gifts. Be a good man and you will be given entrance to heaven.
That is the essence of chivalry. You do not explicitly ask for a reward, because you've been conditioned to expect one as part of a covert contract.
But therein lies the greatest hypocrisy of selflessness and martyrdom; it only works as long as the martyr expects a reward for his actions.
The entire concept of karma is inherently a selfish ideology. You're not a good person for the sake of being good, you're investing in a pseudo-spiritual ponzi scheme and expect to "get out of it what you put into it", "what goes around comes around", and "good things come to those who wait." Islamists aren't blowing themselves up because they hate infidels, they're doing it for the 72 virgins.
And while I admit sacrifice is a necessity, after all any great society would not be what it is without the sacrifice of men, it is ultimately a sisyphean task where each time you satisfy the existing list of demands a new list arises to take its place. Look no further than Feminism.
The truth is, Game for women is learning how to manipulate that conditioned response to their benefit.
Just as Pavlov could get his dog to salivate even when there was no food present, women are able to get men to sacrifice even when there is no longer any reward.
Like a ponzi scheme women have figured out how to take advantage of this. Ask for large upfront investments, kick off a few small returns, and keep the investor hooked with promises that a big pay off is coming, but it never does. A Beta orbiter will spend hours listening to his oneitis talk about the guys she's fucking, drive an hour to give her a ride home from the bar, hold her hair while she vomits, and spend what little money he has on gifts and all she has to do is say, "You're such an amazing guy. Why can't the guys I date be just like you?"
And that little burst of hope and validation, being told you're a "good guy", is all it takes to perpetuate more investment. She'll recognize his sacrifices eventually right? If he's the hard working ant while the grasshopper is fucking the girl of his dreams, surely he'll get his reward soon...
But the reason you're here today is because you realized this is a lie. Like a restaurant which brings customers their food first with the expectation of payment later, you've seen far too many women simply run out on the bill.
Which is why I advocate being selfish asshole.
To me, the definition of asshole used to be someone who goes out of their way to make the lives of others worse. But that is not the definition that women hold. To women an asshole is simply a man who refuses to get with the program. A man who refuses to be a martyr because he knows there is no reward waiting for him on the other side.
A "normal" man is expected to give away his work for free and hope that payment will come. An asshole says "fuck you, pay me."
Society (women) will tell you to "Do the right thing" and you have to ask "Why?" Why is it that 99% of the time the "right thing" is one where you benefit and I don't?
Because the only thing they have to offer in return is validation. You give them what they want and in return you're given permission to call yourself a "good man."
Guilt and shame are their weapons. The implication that by refusing to go along with their emotional manipulations it means you're a bad person. Martin Luther caught on to this scam 500 years ago when the Catholic Church took your soul hostage and offered to sell it back to you.
Advertisers and women are just as savvy. Why shop at Starbucks and Whole Foods? Because we'll give away .0001% of our profits to charity and that means you're a "good" person for giving us your money.
Be a "bad" man. Be an asshole. Because assholes have committed the dastardly crime of defining their own self worth instead of buying small chunks of it at a time from the women who have assumed ownership of it.
When an asshole sees a girl he thinks, "She seems cute. I'll go over and talk to her and if she's interesting I'll ask for her number."
Instead of "Oh no! I'm objectifying a woman's value based on her appearance. But because I didn't actually go over to harass her with my presence that means I'm still allowed to call myself a good guy unlike that asshole over there. Thank you Feminist overlords!"

goldaxis 6y ago
This is a huge pain point for me. I have always wanted to be a "kindness through strength" kind of man - someone who leads by example, using power to build up and inspire the people around him, rather than using it to dominate his surroundings.
In recent years I have started to consider that it may be a fantasy to think that people be elevated that way. It is shocking how horrible people are. Given an inch, even family will take advantage of you and abuse your kindness. Almost none will show proper respect or appreciation for your "goodness", and even fewer will go out of their way to do something nice for you. Countless predators will seek you out and try to take you for everything you're worth.
Excessive selflessness is no more righteous than excessive selfishness. Even if you want to, you can't help anyone without first helping yourself.

This is a TRP summarized version of No More Mr. Nice Guy. If you liked this post read that book.
There is no such thing as true altruism. Accept this fact alone and you will do better. You do nice things for people for two reasons: one is to get something back in return which is coming from low value and two is you do something nice to show that you have power which comes from high value. I think this post is missing this side of the equation. To be fair it's hard to get so powerful that you can effectively use this side of niceness.

This is how feminism eventually destroys society.
The rewards for being a good person are so low now, as females are in control more and they give incentives to be a type of man that cannot exist in a civilized society.
Pretty good write-up for the most part though. Although I take great issue with "Advertisers and women are just as savvy. Why shop at Starbucks and Whole Foods? Because we'll give away .0001% of our profits to charity and that means you're a "good" person for giving us your money. "
I personally get stuff from whole foods as I think organic food has less pesticide residues which are endocrine disruptors. My reason for shopping their is entirely selfish, I don't care if they give money to charity or not, it doesn't influence my decision as a consumer. If we are all trying to be the best men we can be, why take in chemicals that have a chance of harming you?
[deleted] 6y ago
Lol, I buy some stuff at whole foods simply just because their products are better quality than your run of the mill discount grocery store. Plus .0001% of donations is probably still a lot of money.. And still helping out in some way.
hawkeaglejesus 6y ago
That's perfectly fine. But there are people out there who follow the commercial ideology I mentioned. There are corporations who are taking advantage of the whole "being green and socially conscious" movement to entice customers.
Imagine your typical Prius driver. I'm sure some of them enjoy better mileage and a host of other features, but there's definitely a sub-sect of owners who drive a Prius simply for the fact that it makes them feel like a "good person."
I would consider that the TL;DR. Don't fall prey to the lure of social validation that is used to make you feeeel good. It's like a dopamine doggie treat used to train you into certain behaviors i.e. Blue Pill Conditioning.
sour_jesus 6y ago
Your mentioning of Prius and better mileage reminds of this glorious hate facts segment by the famous Top Gear asshole: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F04MXepYiBs
hawkeaglejesus 6y ago
Love Jeremy. But to be fair, most of the Prius' economy comes from braking as you would in normal driving conditions rather than on a test track.
dankvibez 6y ago
I understand what you are saying. But some of those things about the "green socially conscious" movement are actually pretty redpill IMO. I honestly think that once the left realizes that plastics in water/food, pesticides in water/food, certain types of pollution etc, all can make men have more estrogen I can honestly see them stop caring about those causes lol.
Driving a prius is different though, you are paying extra money to serve the rest of the world. Where at whole foods/buying a reverse osmosis machine to clean water is doing something to serve yourself.
I actually think its pretty much cuck territory when some guy tells me he doesn't care about pesticides in his food. To me hes basically saying that he'd rather let some rich guy make some more money by emasculating him chemically. Rather than spending a little more money himself to buy something that won't ruin his body.
hawkeaglejesus 6y ago

vwzwv 6y ago
Most people don't even understand the that the biggest pro to organic is the lack of pesticides. Most think organic is 'good' and the other is 'bad' and that's about it, so though you happen to be right, the generalized point he was tring to make is still valid, because most don't do it for the reasons you do.
as a side note, some produce is vastly more affected by pesticides than others. Namely spinach and apples are good to get organic because the non-organic versions contain ALOT of pesticides. Other produce is minimal. I've been meaning to go find the list and memorize more.
dankvibez 6y ago
I too have heard about specific types of produce. But yeah, I do agree most people probably by organic because they think its "natural" and "natural" is good. Which isn't that far from the truth, in general our bodies had to evolve in order to take in and process the foods/liquids we ingest, and if you take in something we did not evolve with, it might not be as good for you.
Most liberals love "natural" but only take it as far as it suits their agenda. They kinda like to leave out parts that women aren't as well equipped mentally to make certain kinds of leadership decisions for example. Or that they are on average much much weaker than the average man. Or that they probably won't fair as well in areas like the military.
Reeeeeacher 6y ago
I agree with your definition of the asshole.
This post reminds me of a video by a lady called Feminism and the Disposable Man. It's worth a watch. One of her points was, a ship is sinking and the "good man" must give his spot on the life raft to a woman to save her life. But his life probably has (and should, to our standards) more value to society. So what is he saving? Why must he give up the seat? That's my seat on the life raft.

Great post, that idea has always been in mind, I have a different conclusion though in a way, delayed gratification helps having a better future, when I was 18 my parents died, left some money and an appartement, if I had no delayed gratification, I'd get a porch and live my nights, instead, went to medicine, made long term investments, now I am 30 and have two commercial buildings, some investments in disturbated funds, still I drive civic hyundai. I'd correct something don't be entirely an asshole, just know what you're getting for your sacrifice, what the future guaranteed return, be pragmatic instead of idealist. However in social circumstances, indeed being a total asshole with with a smile rewards more than being a nice guy, women simply don't give out for men for nice men in their prime years, actually they feel used if a man's niceness is because he wants a relationship or sex, they need emotional element with a feeling of social elevation. that's entirely a whole different thing than delayed gratification or self scarification in self development.

Acknowledging the true nature of things and looking at it with a critical perspective is necessary. I wouldn't call it hating. If people take offense and feel ashamed, they have their own issues to deal with.

When you've already taken care of your own needs first so that you're not dependent on the kindness of others to feel fulfilled
That is the balance. This is precisely why this system of inter-gender relations no longer works. Men fulfill their end of the deal, but if women refuse to fulfill their side Men are simply being exploited and taken advantage of. If the other person isn't willing to sacrifice for you why should you sacrifice for them?
DrLeftCrRight 6y ago
See, this is why people think you guys are nutjobs. This post sounds like there's some kind of conspiracy among women to keep men trained, and for God's sake, stop calling people beta. Isn't it weird that basically all of you are alphas?
Instead, just express your view without talking about how oppressed you are. Men definitely aren't equal in some ways, but all of these "beta" men don't want to be associated with your alpha whining. You could've just said, "Don't sacrifice now for the expectation of a reward that may not come later," and it would have been just as good and resonated with more people.

DrLeftCrRight 6y ago
See, that's what I'm talking about. When someone criticizes your method, you should look through the lack of tact to see what bits of information help. Instead, you're just going to dismiss any valid criticism because it's not really about helping men. You're not worried about male equality. You're worried about being able to be the victim, but you're also going to keep telling yourself that you're about to change your mindset, and everything will suddenly change. The path to change for men isn't internet anonymity and looking down on everyone who isn't in your in group as inferior. It's real organizing by real people and complaining to lawmakers in mass about the issues you're experiencing.
hawkeaglejesus 6y ago
I'm glad I kept reading so I could get to this gold nugget. Thank you for the good laugh.
Just so you don't cry because I didn't give you a real answer.
You're saying that rather than take reins of your own life and enact change as you see fit, the solution is instead to go complain to a bunch of other men so that they fix your problems for you. Is that about the sum of it?
This is what women do. This is what Betas do. Instead one should aim to become the Alpha that actually gets shit done.

She should be taking care of you until 18. After that, you're the one that's supposed to be paying her back, or at least be less of a burden.

It means understanding that your life is also a priority and you need to make yourself and your goals first.

epixs 6y ago
hop on the good shit bro, its a nice time ;)
insoucianc 6y ago
We're all selfish, this is by virtue of having a self to begin with. The only difference is what our motivations are: to serve the self or serve the else. The idea is to be motivated by serving yourself because service to others is a depreciating asset the moment it's put into circulation, not only that but if used as a sexual-contract there is a low probability of a return-on-investment that would net a profit, let alone a break-even return. By being motivated by serving yourself you can abscond from these sexual-economic sunk costs and get what you want out of life regardless of what others think about you. The reason this is important is because serving the self is a critical component of establishing a sexual relationship because they are always predicated by a balance of power, this is because women will not be sexually attracted to men who they consider equal in power and this is because our species is driven to continually produce offspring that are better suited for survival than the parents. This is because our bodies, the primary arbiters of sexual attraction through cognitive and emotional manipulation via endocrines, live in the physical world and must therefore engender attributes which are conducive to thriving in this physical world. Without an affinity for self-servitude, you may lack the compunction to gain and train the facets sycophantic to this ultimatum given to us by the physical world, which is essentially "Git gud nub".
After the initial establishment of the sexual-relationship through self-interest, you will also need to incorporate else-interest or selflessness to keep her interested and form a romantic-relationship, these are most evident in what this community calls "comfort tests". In economic terms, you need to offer a good the market is willing to pay for, this good is you, the market is women, and the payment is investment, either sexual or romantic. However, you also need to market your goods (actions and words) and it must be at a price the market is willing to pay. The higher-quality and higher-demand goods will fetch higher prices, however there are other vendors with similar goods so it can quickly become a race to the bottom in price. If you can monopolize the market however, you can decide the price, which is essentially where religion came in and created monogamy (I personally believe that polyamory/polygamy is the actual natural human mating strategy and laws had to created to force monogamy into existence).
Anyways, I'm circumnavigating. To answer your question, you just need to open your eyes and understand that society doesn't give a fuck if you're selfish or selfless, ultimately only you do, and that is selfish, so decide on what you, the self, are motivated by in a vacuum and then pursue those things as you wish. If what you desire is sex, you need to be selfish insomuch that you pursue it unfettered by opinion, if what you desire is romance, you need to be selfless insomuch that you pursue it unfettered by opinion, if what you desire is a well-rounded and balanced body and mind that will allow you to be the Father in a strong and successful family, you need both, as well as the prudence to understand when and why. This is the hardest path and why we had to create marriages as a pantomime to such artifice.

An "actual" Nazi was a german who after 1918 realized that the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia where millions of innocent Russians were murdered for the sake of some communist ideal represented an "existential threat" to Germany and that extreme measures would be necessary to fight it.
In our current world it's anyone who disagrees with Political Correctness.

In WWII about 100 million died.
Don't buy into the Blue Pill mythology which elevates one ethnic group as the supreme victim class.
World War Two was the war of Russia vs Germany for the most part.
America simply arrived at the conclusion of the war.
You_Dont_Party 6y ago
Tell that to the 15-20 million dead Chinese. Come on, stop trying to simplify WWII to fit this narrative because you're distorting every factual reality about this conflict to make a stupid argument on the internet.
NeoreactionSafe 6y ago
We were referring to Germany.
How did the Germans see events in 1918?
It is from this view that the Nazi reaction came into existence.
All I'm saying is the Blue Pill version of WWII has the Germans unilaterally deciding to go crazy, but that's bullshit. The real history was that Germany feared Russian Communism.
You_Dont_Party 6y ago
Yes, but you said 'WWII', which means something else.
This is a red herring. I've never read a serious discussion on the causes of WWII that didn't discuss this. But, at some point you're having to defend making a pact with said threat to divide up Poland by saying 'IT'S JUST SCARED GERMANS GUYS'. It's a factor, and it was certainly a fear exploited by the Nazi leadership and propaganda, but Hitler was pretty much always planning on invading Russia at some point.
NeoreactionSafe 6y ago
Look it's really simple...
The cause was the Bolsheviks in 1918.
The effect was the Nazi party.
JamesSkepp 6y ago
Not at all.
The rise of Nazi party after Hitler took over was caused by many different reasons, the Red Russia was just one of enemies used to scare people to gain control.

It's not blue pill, it's basic history. I'm sure civilian's died on both sides but the German's systematically murdered millions of innocent people in concentration camps. If you deny that then I refuse to speak futher.

BassNet 6y ago

NeoreactionSafe 6y ago
You missed the point.
100 million people died in WWII.
The Blue Pill narrative is that WWII was about "hate" but what I'm saying is there were valid fears of the Communist Russians invading Germany and killing millions as the Bolsheviks had done this already.
The end of the war stuff is trivial in the "big picture", but the Blue Pill narrative inflates it because it serves the Globalist Tyranny.
The Globalist Tyranny wishes (obviously) to create a globalist prison planet so they need to make people believe they are the good guys.
See that?
It's a trick... they are emotionally manipulating you... it's Game.
You must wake up.
BassNet 6y ago
A "valid fear" of an invasion by a foreign aggressor does not justify systematically jailing and murdering millions of people without due process. This did not start at the end of the war, either; it began with the 1933 elections when the National Socialist party gained control of the government.
NeoreactionSafe 6y ago
The point is that the threat was real and not imagined.
The Bolsheviks actually murdered millions before WWII began.
This was back in 1918.
So when people mention "Nazi" it's based in 1918 logic.
The Nazi Party was created in 1919 right after the Bolshevik murders of millions.
So it's now 100 years from the time the thoughts were formed.
100 years.
(well 99 I guess... next year it's 100
One hundred years is a long time.
Try this first:

Then when you get time view this:

This will give a kind of "Red Pill Aware" (Game Aware) understanding of history rather than the default Blue Pill mythology which is mostly emotional programming.
Enjoy... it might be new for you to know these things.
You_Dont_Party 6y ago
And the Nazi Party that was created at that time was a leftist organization, not the Nazi Party of Hitler which was responsible for the murder of so many Polish, Russian, and German civilians.

Being called an asshole by a woman is easily the best green light to just keep doing what you're doing.

Don't overdo it. There is a fine line between light-hearted assholish banter and being a dick.
[deleted] 6y ago
Believe me if you're actually crossing the line she'll call you something stronger than that.
CQC3 6y ago
I know, but it depends on what you do in the first place. A girl calling you an asshole is almost always--as OP and many others have already said, a product of you not doing something for free or for others without gain. Women love that because it shows self respect.
Asshole banter is a bit different as it's usually about push and negs (however slight or severe). I usually avoid hard negs because they're easy to overdo unless you know the person well and understand their true insecurities. You want to tease someone, not make them feel bad about themselves in a deep way.

It's a very common shit test and one that is indeed a good sign you're doing things right (if your goal is to get her in the sack).
Similarly; "You're so bad", "You're corrupting me" etc.

If you say something that really makes them laugh, I've found some girls will throw out, "omg your so stupid". Be careful with this one though. If she doesn't laugh she may actually think you're stupid.

A Gaunt Wolf was almost dead with hunger when he happened to meet a House-dog who was passing by. “Ah, Cousin,” said the Dog. “I knew how it would be; your irregular life will soon be the ruin of you. Why do you not work steadily as I do, and get your food regularly given to you?”
“I would have no objection,” said the Wolf, “if I could only get a place.”
“I will easily arrange that for you,” said the Dog; “come with me to my master and you shall share my work.”
So the Wolf and the Dog went towards the town together. On the way there the Wolf noticed that the hair on a certain part of the Dog’s neck was very much worn away, so he asked him how that had come about.
“Oh, it is nothing,” said the Dog. “That is only the place where the collar is put on at night to keep me chained up; it chafes a bit, but one soon gets used to it.”
“Is that all?” said the Wolf. “Then good-bye to you, Master Dog.”

While I whole heartedly agree about being a so called "asshole" as termed by women. (Ever notice how every single ex of a woman is an "asshole"?)
I also disagree about being a true asshole. A true asshole sets up and exploits win:lose situations, exploits tragedy of the commons situations, does not follow through on his word and generally is a leach on all around him. (Actually this more accurately describes a her).
Many of the things you described are not being an asshole. Exchanging work for money, wanting compensation when a real value is expended, upholding generational contracts (remember Grandma used to sneak you some chocolate when you were a kid, that's why you now take care of ol granny, she prepaid). Driving in rush hour in a manner that makes it worse for everyone. Not wearing deodorant because that costs you and benefits others. Etc etc.
So on general, good post. But let's not encourage people to not play games optimally for all involved.

Great post but for what it's worth the " You get from the world the effort and goodness you put into it" mentality is just so much easier to swallow . GLO mentioned it in one of his posts before, most people are Golems, they don't think critically, they follow the popular script because straying from the prescribed line of thinking is scary and risky .
Men who stay in jobs because " One day they'll recognize my efforts" , Guys who " Love her no matter what because that's what she deserves" , they have no clue and I think don't want one .
Taking the reigns of your life and going " Fuck it I'm going to succeed by following my own path " Is the most refreshing and empowering thing you can do . Sure it's possible you'll fuck up and then you'll hopefully learn , get better , and succeed.
However it requires getting off the automated track of life. I'm still under 30 but I promise every year I see more of my peers doing what they're " supposed to do " and yet have little rational reasoning or thought for why they do the things they do if asked. All I can do is shrug though . It's their life and they can do with it as they please.

I agree and that's precisely why it is so dangerous. It is far too easy to extrapolate meaning into it that was not originally intended and it ties into the Just World fallacy.
It is the reason people think they can work as a cashier at Walmart their entire lives and blow all their money on lotto tickets and church donations because they think God will reward their goodness.
It is the reason Nice Guys think giving a woman tons of attention and being extra good to her will result in higher probability of being rewarded with sex.
It is a great way for teaching children the right set of socially acceptable values, but an adult has to be capable of free thought and comprehending complex ideas.
I would redefine "easy" as "efficient". Many of the platitudes I mentioned are efficient ways of conveying general ideas to people, but often times they don't contain a warning that they're applicable only about 90% of the time. That last 10% of life you have to figure out for yourself.

"That is the essence of chivalry. You do not explicitly ask for a reward, because you've been conditioned to expect one as part of a covert contract."
Technically, chivalry is doing something expecting nothing in exchange, directly or indirectly, and refusing eventual offers.

I experienced this kind of behavior in the professional world as well. When you say, before we proceed, for profound legal advice we will charge you, they will revert to shaming instead of negotiating. We even had a women calling the entire legal community names for not doing her case pro bono due to the tiny fact that she was a well-off accountant very capable of paying.
Women have been coddled all the time and are not even close to being used to reality - be her daddy and show her the stick, she got the carrot always for free.

Man.. I hope the "selfish asshole" thing is just a phase for you.
I find this whole perspective to be completely toxic. You don't get what you want out of life while being a "good boy" so go the opposite end and act like a selfish jerk.. This mindset is why America sucks balls to live in right now and is nothing close to what it used to be in its height.
Being an asshole doesn't get you more pussy. You get more pussy because you stop giving a fuck and stop worrying about what the girl thinks of you. You stop worrying about rejection because it no longer affects your ego because you've been working out, making money, and looking good.. So now you have abundance mentality and 1 little rejection isn't a big deal because you can go out and meet another girl, or swipe around on tinder and line up a girl who' just as hot, if not hotter.
It's possible to be a decent person and get laid a lot. Works for me. You can not give a fuck while still respecting a chick. Just like you can get your way by being a decent person if you're not a complete doormat. (But also remember, whether you're a good boy or an asshole.. Neither exhibits a 100% success rate in getting what you want all the time). All you have to do is layout your requests on the table and communicate. In fact, if you do so in a positive way rather than assholish, it will make doing business with you a much more pleasant experience for them.
Assholes say "fuck you pay me" While decent people simply request 50% up front and have some kind of contractual agreement in writing to seal the deal. It's just business and everyone knows business gets it because everyone's been ripped off by some asshole before.
Sure an asshole might "get his way" more often than the nice guy.. But he's still a rotten person to be around and probably pretty sad on the inside. I feel like assholes act like assholes because something happened to them in life to drive them to that point.
Don't perpetuate the cycle by acting like an asshole just because someone who took advantage of you did. By doing so, you're entering their frame and thinking that their solution to solving problems is the only one-it's not.
Assholes are the reason why I'm going to be in debt once I'm finished college. Assholes are the reason why I will never have it as easy as my parents generation did with "living the dream". Assholes are the types of people who go to the 20 items or less line with 30 items and don't let you cut them when all you have is a loaf of bread and quart of milk. Sure they're getting what they want but it comes at the price of being a miserable fucking loser who no one wants to be around other than some damaged chick with daddy issues.

Complete lack of personal responsibility.
The reason you will be in debt after college is because of decisions you made. The reason you aren't living the dream is because you don't have a dream to live. Assholes are the type to tell someone with 30 items to leave the 20 items or less line. Sure, you're getting what you want (attention) but it comes at the price of being a miserable fucking loser who no one wants to be around other than some damaged chick with daddy issues.
I award you one downvote.

"When an asshole sees a girl he thinks, "She seems cute. I'll go over and talk to her and if she's interesting I'll ask for her number."
I didn't think this was considered being an asshole. I thought it was quite normal to do.
hawkeaglejesus 6y ago
The BP conditioned man is plagued by his insecurities. His thoughts are, "What if she doesn't like me, what if she thinks I'm a creep, maybe I shouldn't go over there because I wouldn't want to bother her."
He thinks about the girl first, before thinking about himself.
Which is why so much dating advice is addressing the question "There's this cute girl I like. How do I talk to her?"
My use of the word "asshole" is facetious. There's the real definition of asshole and the feminine definition of asshole which is simply "a man who looks after his own needs/wants first before attending to the needs/wants of others"
By all means, I encourage men becoming the feminine definition of asshole.

I'm new here, so help me understand. Is trying to be a good person for the sake of it actually bad? I never believed that you were supposed to receive rewards for being good. If anything my parents taught me that expecting rewards was wrong. Why does my happiness matter more than that of the people around me? If everyone is like this and only looks out for their own interest, won't we all just end up sad because we spend all of our time hurting each other? This seems greedy and immoral to me. Am I misunderstanding? Can someone help?
hawkeaglejesus 6y ago
Why should other people shoulder the burden of making you happy if you won't do it yourself.
Just because you don't go out of your way to help someone, doesn't mean you have to go out of your way to hurt them either. Think of it in terms of -1 0 1+
The golden rule, treat others as you would like to be treated, only works if everyone follows the rule. If some people refuse to then they're taking advantage of the people who are.
redrummilf 6y ago
You have answered your question in your question. You understand that you don't do something because you expect a reward. So the things that you do I would assume are done because they make you happy. Happiness is not a zero sum game. You are not depriving someone else happiness because you do what makes you happy. You also cannot be responsible for others habits or anything else about them. People are sheep. Operate above the pasture.
gg_s 6y ago
This is absolutely possible if whatever makes you happy is wasteful and burdensome. For example, you can decide to quit your job and play video games all day long because work sucks and vidya makes you happy. In doing so, you will make whoever is supporting you very unhappy and want to kick your ass.
The key to happiness is order. A lot of people find happiness in disorderly activities because they offer easy escapes from necessary hardship. One must train himself to find happiness in doing things that are unpleasant yet beneficial, otherwise he will reap nothing and he and everyone around him will be miserable.

So you're now gonna be the beta for some Wall street alpha. Congrats on putting yourself back at the bottom of the totem pole.
It's much more rewarding to be the big alpha in a smaller pond than to ever be somebody's bitch. Women will detect your desperation to please your boss, and will probably seek him out to fuck him, impressed by his ability to put you in your place.
Here in manhattan, it's common for the girlfriends and fiancees of interns and new traders to find their way on the cocks of the boss, usually within the first three months. Kinda sad to observe, but that's the carousel for ya.

DrLeftCrRight 6y ago
Here's something else you have in common: they can work you like dogs 100 per week if you actually work for them full-time because you think money and status that only you care about are the most important things in the world. Honestly, you're probably going to make as much as some small-business owners could make if you had the ability to open and operate a decently sized small business.
iamyeezusalmighty 6y ago
Idk what 100 per week is... but if you're talking about time, yeah it takes a fuck load of commitment. Money and status are important, but not as important to me as health, wellness, and interpersonal relationships. Don't go around generalizing people.
I'm a college athlete, and I'm happy with my health and overall fitness at 12% body fat and 170 pounds. Also, we will actually make more than most small business owners, not to mention the fact that 8/10 startups will go bankrupt within its first 18 months.
Don't worry bud, I've already looked into it to see if there is an easy, legal, non risky way of making big money. There is not.

DrLeftCrRight 6y ago
Okay Bud, it's 100 hours per week, and you're right. Most small business owners don't make shit, but the vast majority of them have no formal business education whatsoever. They don't even pay the $25 to advertise on Facebook, so I don't expect the average small business owner to make $100k per year or stay in business. Let's use my field. What does the average accountant make as an employee? $65k. What does the average self-employed accountant make? $65k. The difference is once one is done working busy season, they don't have to work the rest of the year 55 hours per week and travel as well.
