Women are Incapable of Change
Unlike my last post, I will keep my analysis short and simple because RPS does such a good job that writing even more here would be a waste of my time and yours as well.
Women are incapable of change. Yes, that is meant to be taken literally. No, none of the mods or ECs care if your feelings are hurt about it.
The biggest support to RPS’s argument is that women will hamster away their excuses and never accept personal responsibility. Personal responsibility, an essential catalyst for self-improvement and positive change, is a plague to women. Oil and water do not mix.
Just hours ago, /u/CisWhiteMaelstrom wrote an accurate and incredibly necessary post titled [“Women are not objectified. They’re objects.”]( https://archive.is/dmZ9q) Open that link, and just read the first three bullet points he lists. How many of you have heard something similar if not verbatim in your lives?
Ultimately the point is this: don’t ever expect a woman to change for the better. Don’t ever expect her to not throw a temper tantrum. Don’t ever expect her to stop making excuses.
Expect her to behave like a woman, and you will slowly and steadily be less angry at them and accept them for the creatures they are.

And this is why red pill works for so many men who find it/are willing to read it. As RPS has stated before, men are waking up.

This times one thousand.
There's a reason that women have such low self esteem. They have a really hard time respecting anyone other than a high status male and when they see their own nature, they feel really bad about themselves. They're not strong, not stoic, and don't like to work hard. What they're programmed to respect and what they're programmed to be just don't line up and then they cry.
She's sincere about wanting to change, but that wanting never really materializes so all she's left to do is apologize. Better to like women for having soft skin than to expect goodies out of them. I think men in general are kind enough to do so, but in a blue pill world people expect her to be strong or reliable like men and she's not very good at it. She really is sorry and she's sorry that all she can do is be sorry, but it's still true that all she can do is be sorry.

Wow. You've put into words very accurately something that I've noticed and been thinking about but never been able to articulate. You're absolutely right. Due to various personal experiences i've had in my life, I tend to instinctively assume that most tears are of the crocodile variety because I know how strategically intentional any display of emotion led to induce sympathy can be. I also wasn't so able to reconcile women's love of self-pitying low self esteem with arrogance and conceit. I mean, I understood it in TRP terms and I could explain it logically but something internally never clicked for me about this point.
Your explanation describes it pretty well. She's sorry because she doesn't have the capacity to change and the modern blue pill system expects women to be men with vaginas, which they aren't. The only way to adapt to this situation as a man is to understand women as they are and only as they are, and never expect them to be something more than that.

Very well said. Your comment resonates with me because that is my exact problem. I can lift all day and read the best literature out there, but I expect men and women to act the same and it fucks with me. I've been BP for a long time and adapting to TRP is difficult in the sense that it goes against everything I was ever taught.
I'm sure many guys feel the same as I do because of the female oriented culture we grew up in. I can see the truth, but it is difficult to accept. I'll have to try harder. Thank you.

This needs to be internalized and expectations calibrated.

This is very much true. It is even true when they realize that they are not attracted to the boys they are taught to be attracted to. When they realize they are attracted to older, bigger, stronger, meaner, more dangerous men instead of Disney Prince types, they are quite confused and guilty at first.
[deleted] 10y ago
This applies to all BP-men as well.

Incredible insight. Thank you.
Meat-on-the-table 10y ago
Pointed this out yesterday in a different light. Not only are they incapable of it, but most of them never have to change. The BP men will still fawn and fall all over themselves for the chance to be the one who gets taken for a ride by her.
Part of this is just women's biology; part of it is how much weak men enable them.
adam-l Senior Endorsed 10y ago
Spot on.
Actually, they don't have to change => they are incapable of change.
That's true for all people, men and women alike. Women being so privileged is why they won't change.
My rough estimate is there's a 20% nature - 80% nurture analogy in the reasons why AWALT regarding change.

If that is femininity then it is equally important to stress that masculinity is the opposite:
Men MUST be capable of change.
-Be open to change for the better.
-Don't throw tantrums (GLO will smite you from the heavens)
-Stop making excuses.
If women are not agents of their own destiny they will either wander around aimlessly forever (as many do) or they will seek a man who knows how to control the chaos who will do it for her. These men are like gods who impose their will on the world, a feat they find impossible. A feat many BP men find impossible.
But we know otherwise.

Note that many of the excuses that women use are the same excuses that children use. "I'm trying!" "It's so hard." "I don't know what happened!" "I can't help it!" It's easy to imagine a 5-year-old saying the same things.
What is missing from these statements is analysis and accountability. "It's so hard because X, Y, and Z." "I'm trying, but the problem is A, B, and C." "I don't know what happened, but I'm going to do 1, 2, and 3 to fix it and kick the responsible party's ass while I'm at it."
The problem is that women are coddled like children and not held accountable because, according to Bill Burr, "...no one corrects them because they wanna fuck 'em." Anyone treated in this manner will only improve themselves if they have an innate self-discipline and are good at reflecting on their situation.
Example I wrote in another thread to explain why more women than men believe in stupid bullshit like crystal energy, astrology, palm reading, tarot cards, and psychics:
vs.
Now compare:
vs.
(Note, the above bullshit, while very stupid to rely on for decision-making, is at the same time excellent for pick up.)

Astrology is real though. Maybe not your daily horoscopes.

I once argued with my friend about astrology and he was insistent that it was real. I got him to explain himself and what he meant was astronomy was real. Blew his mind he's been using the wrong word.

FerociousOreos 10y ago
It is though!! This one time I read my horoscope and it said I'd meet someone new that day. I walked outside and bam! There was somebody I never met before. So clearly they are real
melb22 10y ago
Isn't it true, though, that women can be influenced by men to act in a better way than if they are left to the worse parts of their own natures?
As an example, even in today's society women generally hold it together better at work than in their private relationships, because there are still principles and consequences governing most workplace cultures that do not exist when it comes to personal relationships (imagine, for instance, if a boss gave a female employee some work, and she sniffled and told him she might do it in a week's time, and then denied that anything was the matter whilst secretly resenting something he said six months before - most women leave this stuff at home.)
Most societies in history have observed the feminine weakness to have feelings/emotions that are not governed by reason/intellect. For that reason most societies, to preserve themselves, have insisted that the masculine prevail in the ordering of society.
This did create social mores, principles, laws and cultures which helped to hold women to a standard, rather than encouraging women to act in an impulsive and non-accountable way according to subjective feeling.

This.
Growing up I've seen it in my mom and women in general at life. The only women who HAVE to change are either ugly women or outliers but even outliers have MALE mentors guiding them so they are very masculine by nature.
Took me a long time to accept that but now its fine really. If you ever wondered why society has downgraded to mediocrity look no further than feminism and women. Its easy to judge and say someone is not good enough when you yourself don't strive for anything and quite frankly are a loser for most of your life (sound familiar).
I don't expect them to change so I'm glad in that aspect. No matter where a woman is they all say the same variations of the same shit and act the same way.
By the way, good observation on the "trying" word. If you ever hear anyone saying anything with the word try you should get away from them asap. They will never commit to anything they say they will "try" to do.

I usually say, "You do you and I'll do me". The woman will follow my lead because it is easier for them to follow me.
SkorchZang 10y ago
That's a question of investment. If you're talking about your LTR, it may be worthwhile to put effort into educating and training her to do better. Give her options, as Patrice called it.
But if it's some random bitch, it hardly pays to expect she'll change (despite all her super-sincere pinky-promises) or to invest a lot of time into helping her to do so.
Marsupian 10y ago
Getting anyone to change their behavior is almost always a lost cause. Behavioral change is notoriously hard as an intervention in health care. If anyone is interested in helping someone change look up motivational interviewing. It's one of the hardest techniques I've learned but it does greatly increase your chances of getting someone to change.
I personally wouldn't bother unless you can't help being invested in that person or you're doing it for your own enjoyment without investing in the result.
[deleted] 10y ago
The overwhelming argument against women's incapability to change, and one which I was fairly susceptible to until lately, is there are some bad ass bitches out there.
However, I realized something about all the ones that I know personally. They are nothing more than what they happened to be. If anything in the world came and knocked them down, down is where they would stay. It is not so much they cannot change (I have seen some bitches change for the worst), it is that they cannot actively make themselves any better. They cannot be taught anything.
At best, with the right stimulus, they can be trained.
[deleted]
[deleted] 9y ago
Now we are getting into semantics. Training is temporary, change is (semi)permanent.
A dog can be trained from birth to be a certain way. If it is thrown back in the wild, assuming it does not die, it will revert back to what it is, an animal. If you try to bring it back into the house, it will have to be retrained. It does not really change, it just understands stimulus response.
Same thing for women. They can be trained, but if thrown back into the wild, they will go back to being what they are. Their nature remains the same. I do not consider that change.

Calling Bullshit on this. I've been in an LTR for the last 5+ years and as I've grown, my partner has adapted to me. We've had some tough conversations and there are certain things I accept as the way she is, but I've seen her grow a lot.
Some of the shit on here is plain victim speak - folks are wired differently (men & women too). Shut up and get over it. It's been hammered over and over again.
Move on bro and focus on how to make yourself better.
adam-l Senior Endorsed 10y ago
Hey,
hi there, exception. Nice to have you here! Hope you are true.
iamrsj 10y ago
Nothing is easy, especially relationships. Women in most cases are different than Men. To say they are incapable of change is inaccurate and doesn't even make sense.
Lot of anger on here about women - it's better to accept them flaws and all and work on yourself (you can only control your own actions anyways).
We chat a lot about being a strong and good Captain in the relationship. It's possible for women to be a strong co-captain as well.
Anyways, couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic

You didn't read my post, did you?
iamrsj 9y ago
I read your post. I agree and experienced with most of what you said, but I'd rank your opinions on the stronger side from where I am. In general I agree with you. I just found the title a bit click baitish and not a fan of some absolutes that are to be taken as facts. (More like in general women operate this way) But you're not wrong. Sometimes I feel we get a bit side tracked on here and focus too much on the negative vs. ways of positively dealing with difficult things.
redpillschool Admin 9y ago
Who says that anything on here are strict fact? Does that really pass the test in your mind for a logical conclusion of what's happening here? When somebody says "all women are like that" do you jump to the conclusion that somebody here literally believes every woman does something, or that we've gone around checking each one to make sure?
The hyperbole is to make a point.
NeoreactionSafe 10y ago
Question:
"Has she found your weakness?"
Think about it...
Obviously if you are here on Red Pill you have gained a respect of traditional objective masculinity and she's going to pick up on that. She will adapt herself so that she gives the appearance of conforming to objective thought.
However... you might be foolng yourself.
Five years is about the time when the girl has figured out your deepest thinking processes and knows how to press all your buttons.
This situation might be a good relationship in that you are both getting what you want, but I'm suspicious of how the thing really works.
Best advice:
"Never assume things are as they appear."
iamrsj 10y ago
I don't understand your reply. It's fairly easy to pick up on someone's weakness in most cases. (male or female)
She can only press your buttons if you let her - granted, she may know which buttons you don't have full control over. But the decision always rests with you in how you want to respond.
Not sure what you're suspicious of? Everyone has their own agenda in play, male and female alike
NeoreactionSafe 9y ago
Be suspicious of objective thinking growing inside a woman's mind.
I'm suggesting she is agreeing with your objective ideas because she sees subjective benefits in going along.
She is a well trained puppy... but still a puppy.
She didn't go from puppy to man because then she would be a unicorn.
Women are incapable of objective thought as their central driver... even when she seems to be acting that way her true motivations are subjective and therefore of the feminine polarity.
As long as you "dance" this dance with her and understand the dance you are okay.

Women are subjective in everything because they have no Frame.
http://www.returnofkings.com/78898/9-secrets-about-female-nature-told-by-a-hot-girl-dying-of-cancer
...one of the best articles I've read lately.
Completely exposes what lack of Frame does to a person.
iamrsj 9y ago
Everyone is partially driven my personal self interest - male or female. You can argue everything is subjective, because things come from our own personal viewpoint.
You're not really saying anything. You "dance" with everyone, male and female. Everyone has their own agenda and priorities. That's the way the world works. It's not an evil or good thing - it just is the ways things are.
No one mentioned Unicorn, you did. You're a suspicious thinking person, that's cool if that's how you are. Personally, I'm somewhat skeptical of everyone, but it's not a negative thing for me. It's good to keep your own thoughts and judge for yourself if something rings true or not for you
NeoreactionSafe 9y ago
That's the founding element of Frame.
A solid Frame means you, really, really, really, really.... I mean really... are honest with yourself and see things objectively to the limits of your capacity to be so.
What you describe in subjective self image is an example of weak Frame.
Women make no effort to have Frame and actually do their best to adapt to external Frames through the hamster wheel process of rationalization.
So be clear here...
The woman is adapting to you... this is her nature.
Ideally you aren't adapting to others... ideally you lead and she follows.
iamrsj 9y ago
Good points. In general principles I agree with you, but I also believe its possible for women to have strong frame - whether that's culturally enforced on them and they later adopt it as their own or through a mentor.
But then you can argue that they can take on masculine characteristics in this way, when they have a strong frame. I agree with your comments on this reply, so we're on the same page.
Men with a weak frame will also adapt to you in a similar manner.
NeoreactionSafe 9y ago
I'd be worried if you believe her Frame might be equal to yours.
That doesn't normally end well...

Sometimes this forum is spot on, but sometimes it's just sexist bull. HUMANS are terrible with change, men and women. Accepting responsibility for our actions is hard for anyone who has been taught wrong, and if you see it more in women it's because it's part of the culture you're engaged in. My wife calls me out on my actions, and judges her own harshly, as well as becoming impassioned when she sees people being "too scared to go through the pain" (her often said words). We're all just creatures; creatures that tend toward the easy path, who hate it when we have to use more energy than we have to, who blame others and get upset and manipulative when they don't do what we want. If you want to look at women as "just creatures" then you better figure out what kind of creature you are first, stop dehumanising others and learn how to be the best you can be. TRP isn't about power, abuse and control over others; it's about power and control over your own self despite what is going on around you.
WoeofApollyon 10y ago
You make no coherent point. What you wrote boils down to "but its not fairrrrrrr!!!!" These are the thoughts of a spoiled and entitled mind.
Too bad for you.
RedSovereign 10y ago
It's both, actually. One naturally lends itself to the other.
iSeeYouWatchin 10y ago
No. It's part of Western culture. PERIOD. That's the whole point. This culture is cruel to men that don't accept responsibility while it makes excuses for women that do the same. As a man, if you don't accept responsibility, you pay for it. Screw up at your job and make excuses for why it wasn't your fault? You probably won't have that job for long. Screw up at work as a woman? Just tell your boss about how stressed you are at home and how much pressure you're under and you'll most likely get a (pussy) pass. As a man, if you have a shortcoming that hurts your dating life, you HAVE to make a change to get progress. Be a fat, below average female and there will still be some thirsty ass dude ready to validate you. Hell, the entire body positive movement is a declaration of women's unwillingness to change even if their own health is at risk.
This applies to almost every aspect of our lives. Women are incapable of change because there is no societal incentive for them to do so. For women, there's almost always an excuse. For men, there is pretty much never one.
You brought up your wife and how she judges her actions "harshly," but do you think she would do so if you were a shit husband that she didn't respect? I can almost guarantee she wouldn't. I can tell you now the most powerful catalyst for change that a woman can experience is a strong man who can take charge. In the presence of a man like that, a woman wants to become the version of herself that keeps you around, and thus, will be more receptive to change. Even then, it will only happen if you hold her accountable.
There's a reason women run around saying "where have all the good men gone?" and "No one is man enough to handle me." It's because the issue is with them and they either don't want to acknowledge it or they know eventually someone is going to come along and put up with their shit. If you know the shit you do will be accepted or validated eventually, why would changing even be an option?
[deleted] 10y ago
Thanks for the compliment, and I see your point, however I live in New Zealand, and we are influenced by pacific cultures, some of which are matriarchal, and work. Culture only accentuates biology. We certainly have the male hating culture, but probably not to the same degree as other countries. I think that my philosophy, experience and circumstances differs a bit from many people here. My initial understanding was different to the responses I'm getting, which is fine, no beef. I firmly believe my wife took the red pill the day her mother beat her and her beta boyfriend did nothing. That was years before I met her.
[deleted] 10y ago
You're female aren't you? Mods Ты дурак)))
kokvlad 10y ago
the red pill is about sexual strategy. Everything else is secondary or irrelevant.
[deleted] 10y ago
Then ask yourself: what is the purpose of sex? My understand is that it is twofold, reproduction and securing social bond/status. Just like war needs to have a purpose, if you just do it cos you like it then you're most likely misunderstanding the creature that you are. Red pill isn't just sexual strategy, it's sexual wisdom. If I'm wrong, then y'all downvote me, I'll unsubscribe and leave you to it.
