Nothing new, but always a pleasure:
A friend of mine ("John") and I bought apartments a year ago that were still being built. We helped each other through the stress of building plans, dealing with cutthroat project managers and incompetent electricians and so on. We spent a lot of time, excitedly discussing and making plans. She observed the whole thing and never said a word. Her opinions and worthless advice did not influence the decision-making.
Now this guy LOVES eating meat and he specifically bought a place with a huge balcony for lots of BBQing. I LOVE lifting and I have dedicated one large room for lifting. It's for me and all my buddies, including John, and we've been lifting together for a long time. We planned it all this way for fun and lifestyle choice. It's every bro's dream, right? What could go wrong?
His girlfriend (21), has never been a problem. She fully accepts him as her leader and they have a surprisingly healthy relationship dynamic from a red pill perspective. He behaves correctly by nature, most of the time, even though he has no RP theory knowledge. They are both very romantic though and he wants to marry her at some point, you get the idea, I'm doing my best to help this guy but what can you do.
His place was completed a few weeks ago and they quickly moved in. He's been clever enough to keep 100% ownership. He said she felt "unwelcome" at first, but given her good attitude and trusting nature, she accepted the deal. Completion of my place is now also getting closer. And she's starting to panic. I see the reflection of the hamster spinning behind her "innocent" eyes when I show up at their (his!) door. Upon asking, John tells me how afraid she is that he will spend all his free time lifting at my place. He says, he's explained the ridiculousness of the fear to her, and that him and I have always lifted and that it's never been a problem. He says she doesn't appear to get it - but it's him who doesn't.
He's now stopped asking me to come over and it's been weeks and no BBQ in sight. We also haven't gone to the gym together for a long time, even though we used to always do that without her interfering. But now she's started directly competing with me over Johns time. It's ridiculous because I have other shit to do and it's no freakish issue or anything at all. I realize that she has felt threatened by fact that I was helping with his place from day one. She knew I'd know more about it than her and she hated it. I know where the pipes run through the floor in that place, because I'm actually interested in stuff. She didn't care, but was still seeing it as an intrusion into her (his!) new home.
Now that she's in there with all her lotions and perfumed candles and shit, she's in full nesting mode, and I can only watch as she's gaining influence over him using her "worry" and jealousy. It's getting super weird. It's actually interesting how women can't just say "Do lift, but come back because I want you to take me more seriously than 'revengeofthecrazy'." That would solve it all right? He loves her, and there would never be a problem. Does she even understand where her worry is coming from? How could the bio-programming be so precise? They say they don't want kids yet, but she's behaving like she's pregnant already. She has now made this a strange invisible war and has started manipulating the shit out of him. To me, honestly, it's disgusting to watch it. A few days ago, she offered him a quickie to keep him at home when I said let's hit the gym. He says she's NEVER done anything like that. He thought it was funny, poor bastard doesn't know what the fuck is concocting on the horizon. Luckily, he didn't go for it. I want to shake this guy by the shoulders and slap him in the face to explain the bullet he dodged. If you do that shit once, guys... you know it.
What's annoying me most is that he seems quite powerless against all this because he doesn't "see" her strategy. He's already out of shape from the stress of building and he's lost a good deal of definition and just looks sloppy. I can't stand the sight of it.
What would the red pill man do? He would pull out the hammer of god and make justice. He would BBQ and lift all the fuck he wants. Now the luck of this blue pill man is about to turn as he is transformed into a little nest guardian / provider bitch, EVEN THOUGH he owns the place! Fuck those women. What about the years of lifting John?? What about your gains John, it's almost summer man. What about the grilled chicken John? He doesn't see what's happening. This is the start of his midlife crisis. It's going to cook up nicely in the shadows.
It's not the first time I'm seeing this happen. The women don't own the place, but they own the naive mind of the place owner. They are using tactics that are invisible to normal men. But the balls on those parasites are huge. The sense of entitlement, enormous. If I did something like this, I couldn't stand the stench of self-disgust. Not women though. It's exactly how they think. They feel just great about themselves when they do this. Mission accomplished! Again, from an evolutionary point of view it all makes sense, and it should be be forgiven / accepted. But isn't it just weird how this is all visible now and we are able to observe the bio-programming under which our forefathers have slaved away? Strange times indeed. Not sure what will happen if TRP turns mainstream.
I'm going to do my best to teach this one guy the truth before it's too late. Other than that, I can't wait to kick the first bitch out who leaves her lotion in my bathroom. Relax, I'm kidding guys.
TLDR: I describe how a so far good girl switches to nesting mode and starts manipulating my buddy and competing with me as soon as they move into the place that he's bought. In later paragraphs I reflect upon the state of being able to observe her change of behavior through the red lens and make dry jokes about it for my entertainment.

All I can say is learn from this experience. She's won this round, your friend is likely not going to have an RP awakening or some shit, he's going to provide her with the lifestyle she wants at the cost of the lifestyle he used to want for himself.
And that's the key - USED TO want for himself. Even if he sees what's going on, she's won in that she has sapped his ambition; he no longer wants the things that he wanted when the two of you got this project rolling.
I've only let one girl move into my house and she insisted on paying a fair rent, even though she makes considerably less than I do and was fresh out of college. She brought it up - and that is something I had never, ever seen from a girl before. If you paid for the place, and rent in your area for a small studio apartment is $1500 a month (fuck SF), then by letting her live with you, you are essentially giving her that value. Would you spend that kind of money on her every month? Fuck no, that would be insane even by BP standards.
Most girls will be offended and pissy and complain-circlejerk with their friends about how "he doesn't treat me like a GF, I am NOT a roommate!". They do not conceptually understand how pussy doesn't equate to him paying your living costs. This is why all guys should only LTR girls who clearly are down to contribute a share of rent if it comes to moving in. Girls who think it's miserly or rude to do so are not worthy of your respect.
revengeofthecrazy 10y ago
While that's true, allowing the girl to contribute also increases her leverage and feelings of entitlement. I'd rather have her feeling a bit like a tourist all the time. I guess that's not truly possible for LTR's.
PM_ME_UR_ZYGOTES 10y ago
Honestly, you sound like someone with a jealous crush. The bitch is on some bullshit for sure, but which one isn't? You've got shit to do, but you took the time to write this fucking novella. I think you should re-examine your relationship with this dude, because i personally do not find myself thinking about a buddy's body, let alone moniter his definition. You sound like a jealous bitch yourself.
revengeofthecrazy 10y ago
Lol, it's quite obvious what happened here. Good luck with that ;)
Zanford 10y ago
The GF instinctively knows you are a RP influence on her BF (although she wouldn't know the term RP) and is trying to cut you out of his life. She'll probably succeed b/c he sounds like a pussy.
Then, 3 months after he's stopped lifting and lost his gainz, she'll fuck a meathead.

I'm having this problem too, OP. I live with my brother in my dad's old house and he let a woman move in with us.
Since she's been here she's spent thousands of dollars on new furniture, kitchenware, white goods, all that shit.
She goes around fixing it up and tidying, and completely avoiding eye contact with me.
She's already marked parts of our house with her belongings, which to me is a signal of ownership, and now she's pushing me out slowly by filling my brother's ear with poison about me.
"Oh, he's sitting on our new couch", "Oh, he's using OUR TV", even though the TV that was in the lounge room was mine and they swapped their own for it.
She's 23 and works at subway, my brother made the foolish mistake of getting engaged to her. I figure I'll just leave them to their shitty, unfulfilling existence.
revengeofthecrazy 10y ago
Wow, that girl knows EXACTLY what she's doing. You can only try your best to teach your brother some truth before she drives the wedge down further. Reading what you say here makes me realize how even another man's woman can be dangerous to your very existence.
oldredder 10y ago
swapped? You mean stole? As in your TV is out and you get nothing for it?
Because generally when your shit gets gone against your will & you get nothing after, that's stealing.
[deleted] 10y ago
Their TV is bigger so they convinced me that it was beneficial for everyone to have it in the lounge room. Now they feel like they own the lounge room.
The thing is that I don't even think they know what they're doing, not on a conscious level. I am referring to it as "unconscious turf warfare".
Now I can't eat and watch TV, or drink coffee on the couches.
I'm not a materialistic person so in don't really.want to battle them with belongings, I'd rather wait for them to realise that all this shit is utterly meaningless and it does nothing to mask the fact that we're all lower class.
I think it's somewhat funny and it doesn't get to me too much, plus at any moment I can just ask form them to fuck all their shit off along with their stupid rules but I can't be bothered.
It really is quite petty shit, and I'm disappointed to see it happening in my house.
Fucking nesters man.
cbdman 10y ago
This really makes me mad, this is your home. You must stand up to this attack with a direct strong conversation. Sit them down and explain that you are dissatisfied with them making upgrades to the house which infers some sort of higher level of ownership. Explain that you will not accept secondary status in your own home. If you do it calm and with confidence she might throw a mood but she will treat you better as she will gain respect. You have to move before it is too late and you become an outcast in your own home.
[deleted] 10y ago
My strategy is to let them win this battle, work hard and earn some money, move out and leave them to their crappy attempt at middle class life.
It's unavoidable because it's hard wired into her biology. I can confront them and sort this all out but over time she can manipulate my BP brother into agreeing with her.
As for being an outcast, that's always been the way for me. As narcissistic as it sounds I'm the only one in the family that has a chance at attending university, and I think knowing this makes my brothers all the more willing to try and make my life uncomfortable.
Crabs in a bucket.
Seperating yourself from BP bullshit is always a good idea but it is admittedly quite hard to deal with when it comes from both your family and your own home.

"His place was completed a few weeks ago and they quickly moved in. He's been clever enough to keep 100% ownership."
Has he though? Does he fully understand the palimony situation he's in? Did he make her sign a lease so she looks like a tenant and not a co-habitating dependent?

In my state, at this point he would need to have her evicted. Which takes a minimum of 30 days.

We don't have what issue in the UK? The need to make a woman sign a lease? Or the possibility of cohabitation being seen as grounds for taking all the guy's stuff in a separation?
I've never cohabited or been married, not too sure how this area works.
1independentmale 10y ago
No, but if she's not a tenant with a signed lease then it's just as much her house as it is his.
That doesn't mean she can get any money out of it (directly). As long as he has always paid for the place and all bills out of his own non-joint account, he's safe there. The problem comes when it's time for her to leave. If she refuses to go on her own, he will have to go through an eviction process which could be lengthy and expensive.
I've read of a new tread with women who move into men's homes and establish residency by having their mail sent there. When she tires of him, she calls 911 and has him arrested for domestic violence. This is easy to do whether he hits her or not. Most jurisdictions have rules that demand an arrest on every call out for domestic disputes and in the vast majority of cases it's the big mean man who goes to jail. Then she simply tells a judge she's afraid of him and obtains an easy restraining order. Just like that, he is no longer allowed anywhere near his own home. She then lives rent free for a minimum six months and can do whatever she likes with his stuff with no repercussions.
As a tenant who is renting a room on a month-to-month basis, you can usually have her ass kicked out within 30 days if not sooner. Definitely talk to an attorney before letting anyone, especially a girlfriend, move in with you. Get that paperwork in order, dot the i's and cross the t's and make sure there are appropriate clauses for what you both agree to do in any given situation.
cbdman 10y ago
six months eviction from your own home and requiring to take rental elsewhere is enough to bankrupt men starting out in life. This outlines that male lives are entirely unimportant.
TW_RPAwake 10y ago
As a landlord I can attest that Landlord-tenant laws exist in every US state. For the most part the laws are structured to benefit the tenants. Evictions require time and money. They also create hostility in the best of cases, let alone in cases of cohabitation.
Mark this post - If he gets sick of her shit and tells her to leave, she will get knocked up OR she will feign assault. Either one grounds her at her "current residence" with nearly no legal recourse by your buddy. He, on the other hand.. may need a place to live to comply with a TRO. By the way - your apartment is too close for a TRO radius.
He is playing with fire for live-in pussy. He is thinking through the wrong head.
bradbrookequincy 10y ago
You dont know exactly what your saying. If you dont have a lease in most places your assumed to be on a month to month lease and you follow the eviction process for ending a lease just as if you have one.
1independentmale 10y ago
Until she hires a lawyer and claims she's been making half the house payments and is therefore just as entitled to it as you are. I'm not saying this would necessarily be successful for her, but it's another expensive potential complication that is easily avoided by simply having her sign a lease.
bradbrookequincy 10y ago
Your acting like this is common though. I know 200 plus people that have moved into a house owned by another and I have yet to hear of it happening a single time. In my state it would not matter if she gave you money and you paid the mortgage with it its not her house. I have actually reviewed the same scenario with a lawyer. I understand what your saying but it seems a bit weird to ask a girl to move in under relationship terms then to whip out a lease. And im a big believer in protecting yourself.
1independentmale 10y ago
Funny, I've re-read my replies and nowhere did I state anything about how common this may or may not be. I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that I made such a statement. At any rate, my position is relationships are essentially business transactions, especially when they involve cohabitation, and a smart man should treat them as such. That means getting things in writing.
I wouldn't advise whipping out a lease at the last moment. Rather, the couple ought to have an adult conversation about living arrangements prior to moving in together and that conversation should include the topic of a lease or other written agreement that will hold up in court. I know these conversations are uncomfortable, but they need to be had.
Here are some comments from an actual lawyer backing up what I've said. Again, no idea how common this is, but why wouldn't a man want to spend just a little time getting the paperwork in order to protect his largest asset - just in case?
http://research.lawyers.com/ask-a-lawyer/what-rights-does-my-girlfriend-have-to-my-house-after-living-there-for-3-years-622172.html
Note that the woman doesn't have to be smart enough to know about these legal claims. She just has to whine about how unfair it is that you're kicking her out to someone who is. A lease agreement seems a small price to pay for the protection it affords, but that's just me.

Hey OP
I have had friends slip before and I'm going to contradict the rest of the people saying he's gone and she's won and there's no hope... Come on that's horseshit.
I have approached my friends in ways of general concern. This guy seems like a genuine partner to you in your life and I am sure he feels the same way about you. Any bro would at least hear his good friend out.
Invite him over for a beer and chat. The topic will eventually come to women.
"hey I've noticed we don't lift together anymore and your BBQ hasn't been put to use. I wouldn't bring it up but you're my best friend. Things have changed since your GF moved in and I just want to make sure everything is cool with you."
Lay down your points while you chat. No need for TRP lingo.
"Anyway I don't know if what's on my mind is true or not. I had to hear it from you. Just wanted to bring the topic up for you to think about and you know where to find me if you need to talk"
Something along those lines. I've been able to help a lot of my bros with their perspectives talking with them like this. Most guys don't have people they can be honest with, and who will be honest with them, which doesn't allow them to fully explore what the fuck is actually going on.
Good luck with your buddy. I hope he would do the same for you.

I may be young, and this is possibly beyond my time, but I miss the days when men could be men without pandering to the emotions of women. Not to say that their emotions are irrelevant. Rather that they have been allowed to infiltrate every space of male being, and in doing so, eradicate the very masculinity that has developed civilization in the first place.
Would the mongols have allowed themselves to be dictated by women? Would the vikings have allowed themselves to be emasculated the way our species allows itself to be today? Something needs to change before we lose the very essence of humanity. This isn't a world in balance anymore. It's a world that's spiraling out of control.

Just look at the studies that are starting to come out. Especially two big points, currently there are more single people than married in the US. Follow that up with roughly half of men saying they have no intention of getting married.
MGTOW is also starting to show up in stats/studies.
Women are starting to notice they're just not seeing the amount of men they used to.
The is probably why wymen are trying to push equality and feminism into video games now. Because guys go to work and spend evening watching TV/Movies or playing video games of some kind.
A year ago I used to think give it ten years and we'll be facing some of the issues Japan has. Now I'm thinking give it another five. Women's groups and people who study and compile this data are taking note of the trends.

"What about the years of lifting John?? What about your gains John, it's almost summer man."
Damn man, she's cutting you off because you are increasing (through being a Gym source - her man becoming more appealing to other women) her competition anxiety. And I bet she's withholding sex when she is 'upset' to 'influence' his choices and it's working. She's kick-started the Beta-Bux transition and it's only a matter of time, and you have to watch it happen in front of you (the possible and likely destruction of a natural Alpha).
I don't know what you'll do but I wish you well my friend, that's a big challenge. Thanks for this post, we must all remain vigilant in the light of any women's base biological imperative to start the Beta-Bux transition.
SkorchZang 10y ago
That's why I keep saying it's healthy for men to hate women a little, as a whole. We don't care whether women like it. It's healthy for us.
An automatic vagina-averse aloof attitude in the man is often the only thing standing between you and her misery-inducing manipulative nature run wild.
Without the attitude the long term battle's lost. You're just not going to always catch all the shit tests, no matter how rationally vigilant you are. She's always worming her way in slowly via the dark side of the moon, if there's any opening at all for her to do it. Double time if she's already moved herself in at your place.

Man I know the feeling. My training partner and I are great friends, we're both young, top athletes in our country, we've competed in other countries together, we talk philosophy over beers. This fucker is 20 and is paying off a fucking luxury SUV already with his own money, and plans on buying his first property in a couple months.
Tall, jacked, already well off money wise, in the top 0.0000001% of athletes on earth. But dear god he's beta.
Guy had been on a dry spell from hell hung up on his ex after a year. I gave him the same advice we tout here about oneitis, get over a girl by getting under a bunch of new ones. So he goes and hooks up with a 6/10 28 year old client of his, I applaud him because fuck at least that gets the ball rolling. In a week they are dating exclusively, it's been a month and he's already talking about her being a unicorn (not literally those words, but he thinks shes the one).
Already I see the change, we were going clubbing regularly, we haven't at all in a month. He's been fitting his training around her schedule. He's already slacking on work talking about dropping some of his clients. I can't understand how this guy is so easily pussy whipped.
I try to drop Red Pill ideology into our conversations, he knows how well I handle women, he himself has said that 99% of them are money grabbing whores, but this one is special and different.
Oh well, you can lead a horse to water I suppose. Either he is gonna be married to a nearing wall low tier bitch in a year or his betaness will catch up with him.

It doesn't effect my game much other than knowing that I'm beyond 3 standard deviations form the mean in something. Just general confidence and sense of pride that transfers well into how I speak with women. I dont talk about my sport unless they mention it, usually they just assume from how I'm built that I'm an athlete of some sort.

Aha, this is EXACTLY why all Red Pill Men should study LTR and married Red Pill Game even though they never intend to enter such relationships themselves. We will be surrounded by other men in these types of relationships all our lives. Would you rather be dismissed as the single guy who gets all the girls and tells all the marrieds to just dump their wives? Or would you rather be the Rock Star who gets all the girls AND can lay down Red Pill Truths that WORK for his married friends when they need these?
Many couples shut down or modify a lot of their prior social contacts when they pair off; women complain of their girlfriends doing this more often than men do. It's one of those things in life and in some cases it doesn't matter what you do, right, wrong, or nothing.
I sense that your weight room will be a welcome man-cave retreat for him and will help re-establish your bond. As for the BBQ, the easiest way to warm her to this would be to have a simple BBQ with just you and a date, plus them; simple two couples dynamic. The new GF might be shy or just not like crowds, and resisting a big shindig the first time out. Don't assume malice when social incompetence might better explain the situation.

She is making him unfit and unattractive to other women. It's full betafication.
Which is why and how he is going to procreate. Isn't that the whole point of female allure? To make the man temporarily insane and sacrificial, so that he does things that are not in his individual favor but are in her favor, and then in his offspring's favor.
Men wouldn't go insane, if insanity did not have a reproductive benefit. It's the sane men that are selected out of the gene pool.

Endless plate chasing is not possible. Human life is finite. It's a closed line segment, it has endpoints. Or better said, life has episodes, when certain actions are possible.
At least the female strategy of "ride the CC, then land on a beta provider mattress" makes more sense in the context of the finality of it all.
In this context the feminist life plan also makes no sense at all (career work and then baby panic at 40).

It hits me; this is almost exactly the situation me and one of my best friends are in. only I didn't put it into words myself.
Me and him have lived next door during our time as students (around 7,5yrs). In the last 3 or so of those he got a girlfriend, that was exactly like this. Only it's like she knew from day one that I would always know him better and be a better friend to him than she could ever be. Now if she was a 9 or something, with a sweet personality, I could understand (but still not agree with) the situation. The thing is, she is a 5, at best. Plus she has a horrible pink-loving-unicorn/cat-fetish-careerist personality that is downright unfriendly. The time she has said hi to me is 2 to 3 times. And that is when I have said hi first. She keeps him from seeing friends, from having fun, doing what he likes, spending money on total junk from their joint account, etc.
I am still thinking what the best way is of how to tell him what he could change, or how to introduce him (or people that you know in general) to TRP. He knows about game (that it exists) but nothing more. I hate this feeling like right now everything is still
okmore or less stable, but something later on is going to completely ruin his life.Just like OP, I'd love to know anyones take on this, a solution, or what has worked for you.
Iramohs 10y ago
Joint bank accounts are the worst fucking thing possible. Tell him to close that ASAP. She can disappear will all his money whenever she wants(I've seen it happen before).
exit_sandman 10y ago
Yeah, I lost a friend for some years because he got himself into a relationship with an uber-possessive girl.
In hindsight, he said that it was for the better because by now he knows that this shit doesn't fly and he won't put up with that in the future.
Fingersofsalad 10y ago
What's all this save your bro stuff? It doesn't matter how long he was able to withstand her, his frame broke to her. If you somehow manage to 'save' him from this woman, some other lady is is going to come along and try to control him and his actions and his home and his money. Chances are, this woman isn't the only one who has tight enough girl game to control your friend. He's an adult who makes his own choices, you can't save someone from themselves. That's retarded. Let him reap what he sows.

He's actually already told me that he's bored, since he moved in. I told him: You have to make sure you take up at least two new hobbies now. He's expressed some indecisive ideas but it's the kind he won't do for real.
Last time I was there, they both sat on the couch, and I asked them "so what do you do for fun around here?". She said that she always had something to do, and she was never bored. He didn't say shit.
The woman will keep herself busy as long as the man is there. She doesn't give a rat's ass if he's bored. But as soon as he wants to leave, she expresses worry of being alone and thinks she's bored.
Maybe I'll cut off contact and let him drown in his boredom, and then I'll reach and pull him out when he's more desperate for help.

He's obviously her beta, and she will get bored eventually. When she starts cheating, that's your window.
Xkirbyx 10y ago
I have this exact situation happening at my place. My roommate/BF started dating this girl right after his divorce, even tho I highly recommended he'd wait because I knew he was doing it from a place of loneliness.
I went through a divorce too, but i remained single for the purpose of bettering myself/monk mode. We would lift everyday ate healthy, had our shit together. But no more than 2 months after his divorce she's living with us! What in the fuck. I was noticing she will leave her shit behind like tooth brush and little shit here and there which I knew what her intentions where with her doing that. I brought it up to him but he was blind to her intentions.
Fast forward a few months she still lives with us in a new apt which is crazy because now it seems I live with them! She feels some sort of entitlement because of this and I could feel that she doesn't want me there either.
What I can tell you bro is this, don't instigate him to much because as of right now he's pussy blinded and can't see the reality for what it is. Let him figure his shit out when he finally sees wtf has been going down he'll be fat, depressed, and lonely.
I don't spend any time with my friend anymore because of this. Do what you can but don't hold his hand.

My best friend and I built new homes right next to each other many years ago. My wife did all the same shit your buddy's girlfriend is doing. I'll never forget the time she screamed, "You're never here! I'm raising two kids all by myself!" I hadn't gone anywhere. I was in my own garage and had been there all day, but my friend had joined me to help with a vehicle repair. In her mind that meant I was choosing him over her (personally I just wanted to get to work the next morning so I could buy groceries to feed her ungrateful mouth). She set out to drive us apart from the very beginning and finally succeeded when she had an affair with him around 8 years later as his own marriage was falling apart.
You need to shake your friend up before you lose him. Explain to him what she is doing. He knows it, he just doesn't want to admit it. Ask him why you can't hang out anymore? Why no BBQs? Why is she such a bitch to you? What is her fucking problem? Ask the hard questions because nobody else is going to.
Bros before hoes. This bitch is toxic. She needs to be put in her place or she needs to go. Too many men these days spend their lives tiptoeing around these bitches instead of facing them directly. I don't know what we're hiding from. The only power she has is the ability to stomp around like a toddler and act all pissy and offended and "how dare you." It's time he faces his demon.
revengeofthecrazy 10y ago
Man your story hits twenty times harder than his. Fucking hell. I ask girls the tough questions in my life when they annoy me. But I guess I should let him discover the problem for himself a bit. If you're completely outcome independent you can point out the hamster women and it sometimes works. Some find it attractive when you find yourself inside their heads (figuratively, for now.). But many times they just discard it, or rationalize it off, because their limited intelligence doesn't allow them access to the parts of their brain that makes them do this.
User-31f64a4e 10y ago
I think women pretty much always do this - isolate men from whatever friends and support men have. Family too - they're much more receptive to time with her folks than time with yours. Sometimes even coworkers are a target.
It's a power play.
They try to set it up so it's you, her, and her friends in your world. Women want your undivided attention, and they want to control you by controlling your social environment.
You have to recognize this behavior and stop it. She is not worth loosing your friends over.
oldredder 10y ago
Bad Popp just did a video on that actually...
[deleted] 10y ago
This was the reason why I never lived with my ex. She had a habit of taking shit over and disrupting my flow. I guess it was part my fault for not standing up for myself. She always wanted to hang out. Can a Nigga play monopoly with his bros without his gf trying to butt in?
cbdman 10y ago
Shit, this is a dire situation, that bitch is in deep. All you can do is back away for a while and let her make a mistake, then at that moment start to put doubt in his mind. He has given her too much without her working for it.
cbdman 10y ago
Just to expand i faced a similar situation with a good friend. We had an excellent bachelor pad, i made the critical error of letting her move in. She eventually went from being overly friendly to passive aggressive, making my friend move out to their own apartment in a worse area of town. She has that situation locked tight, but she is crazy and as i am entirely absent she has nobody to attack, so she will turn on my friend, at which point he will realise his mistake and i will timely re-appear.
[deleted]
RD5 10y ago
Is this really the only way? I can see why it might be better to not completely/radically shake up a friends' worldview, but start with small suggestions. The question is what suggestions to make and how/when, especially if you have tried this and it did not work yet.
cbdman 10y ago
Everyone has their own methods, but i find i come off worse when i try radical shake up, as he inevitably will go and talk to her and she will then add a further layer of complication that needs to be addressed. I just wait for her to weaken first.
Ratcheta 10y ago
Dire indeed. But this is good advice. Every little thing that he finds weird or of, capitilalise on it and bring him to the light.
Of course don't overdo it but if you want to save your friend this type of action is needed.
cbdman 10y ago
i absolutely agree, going slightly covert is the best way to win. Starting war will achieve nothing and strengthen her position. She will start to make errors as she becomes more comfortable. Her personality type always starts to turn bitchy once nest is secure.
anonlymouse 10y ago
Nah. It's better to speak a little too positively of her. Then he'll be disagreeing and will start scrutinising her stuff more readily, and it'll never be on you.

Graybrownshoes 10y ago
This is effective for the first few back massages. Eventually, they'll dread game you in return. It's passive-aggressive, then it'll just become whining. If you aren't wiling to walk away from the girl, than it's just going to blow back up in your face. This is shit-test girls pull all the time. If you want to beat them at their game, you'll need something that they don't use.
I'd argue that you should instead talk about your own "girlfriend" and how much it means when she does the dishes for you after a work of hard day or lifting. Better yet, do it in front of your own girl, and your friend's girl. Double-dates are all about competition: Who has the better prize.

The sheer brilliance of this tactic is astounding. I need to do this to my buddy's girlfriend.
totorox 10y ago
These strike me as being culturally learned (not from the anglo-saxon nor western european cultures). I'd love to know what people GRRM learned this from but I'm pretty sure this is just standard knowhow among a people he knows well. I'd shoot for Latinos but it feels somewhat off, even if in the general direction.

Atlas Shrugged is a long ass read but I thought the end to be worth it. There is a 75 odd page speech near the end that is a rejection of entitlement and feelz. I'd suggest reading along with an audiotrack since it keeps pace and interest.
nomad-oz 10y ago
Is she is manipulating him to spend more time with her... Some indirect ways to make him aware would be:-
Plan a lot of things he would enjoy but not her. A group of mates are comming over for the game and a blokes night. Going to watch a fight. A night at a strip club. etc. If he has to ask her first comment that ne needs permission from the boss.
If he claims he wants to spend more time with her. Say, I know I can smell the gas, (ferrence to gaslighting) Comment, that's how it starts. Make him ask you to explain your comment. Say.. you're already losing shape. If he bites..Say, Soon you won't have a boat. (Patrice O'Neal).
Keep it vague and make him bite. Each time indirectly ask about how he has changed to make her happy for her. Things she makes a fuss over. Use the amused mastery method to shed light on a few things. Especially gashlighting to make him think her wants are are his idea. If the idea is planted he will be on the lookout.
anonlymouse 10y ago
Give her an undeserved compliment behind her back. If he goes, "No, that's not right," even if he's only thinking it to himself, you got him more actively thinking negative things about her.
FuriousMouse 10y ago
Sadly though,
John's behavior is also the result of evolutionary choices and would have resulted in his ancestors having one or more kids with his genes and traits.
It is hard to do what is best for you in modern society when your cave-man emotional responses are screaming at you to submit and have kids.
revengeofthecrazy 10y ago
Yeah the whole behavioral patterns are very strange to observe like this. It's hard to say if it's right or wrong, because it works, right? Human's mating mechanisms are based on vacuums and interests that don't match, it's super strange. Couldn't it be more symbiotic? What was nature thinking?

This is like an alien level parasite you're dealing with. I'd say your buddy is destined to be somebodies bitch.

WordsNotToLiveBy 10y ago
The sad truth about all this is -- most men's ultimate goal is to settle down and start a family. The "best buds," "boys will be boys" days are (usually) limited to the bachelor years. Society has groomed into all of us that to be complete you have to get a stable job, then find a mate, then have children, then prepare for retirement, and share your wisdom to perpetuate this cycle with your grandchildren.
Most Blue Pill men will follow this path, even though they know something is missing in their lives. They aren't completely happy even though they were told over and over that they would be if they followed 'the path.'
It sadly is what it is. And only through TRP and education of the general male populace will this gradually change.
P.s. Change doesn't mean men shouldn't get into relationships or shun women. Change means not losing sight of what makes us happy.
CrimsonDeep 10y ago
Man, I hate that for you man. Time to lone wolf it. Even my ole most red pilled friend got whittled down to semi beta at one time because of his wife. But with her being the breadwinner while hes in school he doesn't have a choice except to be more domesticated.
Good luck. I'm not religious, but I believe in God. I'll pray for the poor bastard to wake up.
TheRedPilsner 10y ago
You should have had your buddy read Rollo Tomossi's article on why you should never cohabitate with a woman you're not married to. Too late for that now though.

This has been one of the most chiling posts i have ever seen. I will never let this happen tp me ever.
revengeofthecrazy 10y ago
Haha, I've had this story in the back of my mind for a long time. Didn't think it would resonate so strongly with you guys.
You're right, the mindset you need to prevent this from happening is the willingness to walk away as soon as you sense the slightest amount of manipulation. It won't even hurt the relationship that much. I'll maybe shorten it a bit but it will also make her more crazy about you.
Smooovies 10y ago
Dude, I just had a fit of rage come over me when you explained how she's going into full nesting mode. I can't even explain how annoyed that makes me. I hate women. I don't necessarily want to, but it just drives me up a wall to see them do shit like that.
That was the vaguest thing I've ever written, but you get what I'm saying.
oldredder 10y ago
A woman needs to nest so she should have her own place to do it - not anyone else's. But... if a man doesn't keep his own ... he's fucked
MentORPHEUS Senior Endorsed 10y ago
Relax brother, you can afford to ignore women during the anger phase.
The nesting impulse is quite strong and predictable in many women. When you understand it well, you can learn to harness it to your advantage, such as with Dread Game and other power plays as gatekeeper of commitment. It's also damn useful when you WANT a particular woman to hang around, should that ever happen.
Amused mastery- see you there soon bro.
revengeofthecrazy 10y ago
I get what you mean, maybe you can ease the pain if you try to remember that it's partly their bio-programming that makes them do this stuff, and it's sort of what has resulted in our birth..? Not very comforting, I know.
Women's very existence revolves around the entrapment of a male. In insects, some females eat the male after procreation, the human female isn't very far from that. It's the brainwashing we've been exposed to and our sense of right and wrong that makes us think this is unjust and strange.

red_gerb 10y ago
Sorry to hear. Game over, he's lost. Sounds like you're losing a good friend. It may hurt, but don't be whiney about it. Also, if it is getting super-weird. Do not go to his turf. Have him come to yours. Last thing you need is her coming on to you in a jealousy tactic. Man up, Hoo-ah!

This was the best advice I read all day.
Soriq 10y ago
God damn. His manhood is under nuclear attack. All the things John enjoys and all the things she is attracted to about him are one by one beginning to crumble and he needs to stand the fuck up for himself now before she's running his life and looking for Thundercock because she's disgusted of what he's become
You have to explain this shit to him and why it was the right thing to do. Expect to be called a closet homosexual by her soon. Call her moves out ahead of time to your bro so that he knows how to react and that you are in his corner.
TheRedPilsner 10y ago
I've seen it happen a hundred times. Woman meets a bad boy alpha, she falls in love with his free spirit and IDGAF attitude and they start dating, she starts to domesticate him by convincing him to get a more stable job, get a haircut, stop hanging out with his friends, and eventually move in with her. Soon after she stops being attracted to him and starts feeling attracted to a different man. Ironically, her efforts to domesticate her boyfriend turned him into the kind of man she never would have been attracted to in the first place.
There's even an Onion Article about this phenomena.
Soriq 10y ago
Exactly. She doesn't know why she's losing attraction, and assumes that more beta behavior will fix things, which he and everyone else have been indoctrinated to agree with.
She's poisoning this guy's mind to create security and safety for herself, but unfortunately power corrupts
Once a woman has reduced her man into a spineless submissive faggot, it's effortless for them to move on and take half of what is "rightfully hers"
king-schultz 10y ago
Sounds like you're the one jealous of her.
revengeofthecrazy 10y ago
No, I just got burned by women like this and I'm very sensitive to being controlled now. I wish to nobody what I let women get away with in my life, that's why I seem so involved. I see it happen in front of my eyes and I'm finally on the other side of the fence. Feels weird to not be able to help.
[deleted] 10y ago
I get where you're coming from, but you are clearly experiencing some butthurt as well. Why do you care that your bro doesn't come over and lift and or throw BBQs? Have your own BBQs and invite him if you want BBQs. Maybe he'll get the bright idea to have it at his place, maybe not. Lift by yourself, when his gainz start disappearing and you guys hang out maybe he'll be reminded. If not, oh well, don't waste energy saving him anymore or get caught into the sunk costs fallacy of your past investment. You can only lead a horse to water.
revengeofthecrazy 10y ago
Absolutely. The whole story works an example of how a woman can ensnare a man when he's blind to her ways. I don't personally care about his lifting progress, I just think it's sad - objectively seen. I can't help but imagine what it would be like if my plans were being ruined by a woman in this way, this makes me feel compassionate.
I have red pill buddies who don't need saving, so that's not an issue.
Ronin11A 10y ago
Same. I had a buddy who used to lift with me. Combination of work, girlfriend moving in, buying and renovating a new house. I now squat double what he can, and his gut is noticeable. I've given up, mostly because his GF claims not to like muscled guys. More likely, she wants him to stay pudgy so she can.
IllimitableMan 10y ago
False concern, I've written about this very briefly as a mechanism of Machiavellianism awhile back, I'm not sure if I'll be able to dig up the thread, let's see... okay, got it:
/r/TheRedPill/comments/1ujs0r/concern_the_choice_manipulation_of_concealed/
Yep, trying to exercise control over him via sex. Typical female strategy.
Honestly, this kind of is shit is why I heavily endorse Machiavellianism as an absolute necessity for dealing with women. Don't get mad, get even. Beat them at their own game, get better at it than them. They're predisposed to be manipulative, we're predisposed to want to see the best in them, but with enough self-awareness you can turn all that shit around.
Soriq 10y ago
Yep, reminds me of Patrice's comedy special
"ladies, if you didnt have a vagina, how would you keep your man happy? What would you do to keep your man?"
Of course they, not Patrice, respond by saying "give him anal!" "give him a blowjob!"
They know full well that they are a set of holes, whether a man admits it or not. They are extremely Machiavellian and know full well where their power comes from
awoods5000 10y ago
It's frustrating to see this unfolding in such a cliché way. A blue pill hamster can be a force to reckon with but it's not unbreakable. I would just hold frame and continue to gain success with your goals. Your positivity and success will help him see red bill truths soon.
