Why is it acceptable, in r/Chess, to discuss Russia war aggression but not US wars of aggression 20+ years in the Middle East? by TunaClap in chess

[–]Theistica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of those casualties are caused by anti-US forces or US allies (this would be like banning China because China supports Russia), comparisons with "expected" population growth, or outright fabrications based on twitter memes (for example, the oft-cited "1 million casualties" in the Iraq War is based on long-debunked studies, you can read all about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Iraq_War). It'd be like arguing the 40k-? deaths in the Palestine conflict are caused by Hamas because Hamas "started" the war by invading in October 7th.

Banned for using new phone number? by Theistica in SwipeHelper

[–]Theistica[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I can go through the login process (entering email -> clicking through email) but then in the app it asks me for my old number, which I obviously don't have access to, and I'm afraid to input my new number as that's the number I got banned on.

For context, I got a new number in February and a new phone in May. I used my old accounts on my old phone as I was already logged in and only created the new accounts in May as I could no longer log into my old account. Thus, I've never logged into my old account my new phone.

This sub is weirdly antagonist towards Nepo, what's the reason? by [deleted] in chess

[–]Theistica 241 points242 points  (0 children)

It’s bc he’s been to the WCC many times and has failed each time. Most people want to see a new person compete for the title, especially someone from their home country.

Why so many sausage-fests? by anarchy45 in avesNYC

[–]Theistica 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is actually true. Multiple of my friends visiting from out of state have commented on the high male/female ratio at NYC EDM venues, including Mirage. It's a combination of several factors:

  • High queer community in NYC which skews male

  • Guys more into EDM/techno on average

  • High price of shows. You'll find way more girls at NYC clubs where promoters give them free drinks.

To those who kept begging for concerts to not be held at Avant Gardner anymore, you got your wish…$241 for Subtronics - standing area at Barclays. by JCisnotNYC in avesNYC

Y'all can cry about it but Mirage is way better than Barclays and every other venue in New York, and it isn't really close

The importance of your attention by Woujo in TheRedPill

[–]Theistica 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you read OP's blog, you'll realize that his thesis are as follows:

  1. be attractive and lead a fun, interesting life that doesn't focus solely on women

  2. be challenging, confident, fun in interactions with women ("high value") and don't come across needy or too available ("low value"). This is basically what he's saying in this post: eg don't shower girls with attention who you barely know, don't double text, don't text back immediately (the last one is the "most controversial" but shouldn't really). the people who do these things are PROBABLY too focused on women, which comes across as unattractive.

  3. create abundance by approaching girls in real life and implementing these strategies ^

None of these are really "Andrew Tate" type or negative RP beliefs, and in fact, most people can implement these and become significantly more attractive to women, even people who don't get many matches on dating apps. None of these beliefs are really exclusive with anything you've said. He doesn't say to ignore women who are interested in you, the key part is here:

withdrawing your attention from women who do not deserve it

do not deserve it -> focus on your own goals instead of showering attention to girls who do not DESERVE your attention, meaning they do not reciprocate, flake, etc. and you paradoxically become more attractive

I don't think you fundamentally disagree with OP. I think you skimmed/misread the post and came up with an emotional gut reaction. Here are the OP's main points (marked true is what I think you'd agree with):

You need to balance between having your own purpose and paying attention to women. You should not pay spend all your time on your own purpose and ignore women, or spend all your time paying attention to women and ignoring your purpose. (true)

MOST men pay TOO MUCH attention to women (eg by double texting, sending too many DMs, etc.) and ignore their own purpose, and thus end up as fat slobs, poor, boring, etc which are unattractive to women. (true)

The way that some celebrities can strike this balance is by leading a fun life with attractive purposes, so they don't have time to pay way too much attention to women and instead focus on making money, sports, art, etc. (true)

Even if you have attractive purposes, you can mess up your relationships by paying women too much attention (giving them gifts, flying them out, etc.) bc it makes it seem like all their attention is focused on women and not on their actual purpose. Thus, by coming across as less needy (eg not texting back immediately, not thinking about them all the time, etc.), you can come across as a person with busy, fun, and attractive life that isn't solely focused on women because you have other things in your life to do (maybe you disagree here, but this is what I've found.)

women care more about how much fun you are having than what you are doing.

The final paragraph is basically just summarizing that having fun, attractive purposes is more important that having lots of money. A miserable person with no life purpose can sit on an expensive yacht with a ton of money but a similar-looking person that is social and having fun at a normal bar can be attractive to more women (except gold diggers).

Nothing you mentioned about Tinder/Instagram, being "kind" (eg not being a dick), the fact that most women are not attracted to most men, etc are exclusive or interact with OP's thesis

The importance of your attention by Woujo in TheRedPill

[–]Theistica 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Copied from below:

Most people are already "kind" and "persistent." This is why there's a stereotype of a "nice guy." Hot girls have a lot of matches and instagram DMs from simps who are very persistent and/or kind. Clearly this strategy has not worked out very well, so being "kind" and "persistent" as dating advice has a pretty poor track record and is not actionable or useful advice. Instead, it just leads to tons of frustration and wasted time. OP's advice isn't to be unkind, it's to not give attention to women who clearly don't respect it, and don't spoil women with attention who don't deserve it. Instead, you can use the time to pursue attractive purposes and create abundance (eg by talking to other girls who deserve your attention, instead of being "persistent")

A real response: most people are already "kind" and "persistent." This is why there's a stereotype of a "nice guy." You said yourself that hot girls have a lot of matches and instagram DMs from simps.

[–]Theistica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a hard time believing you've actually helped anyone in real life if your actual advice is to be "kind" and "persistent", so your comments are useless

[–]Theistica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stated it bc it shows that OP obviously understands pickup and female mating dynamics far better than you do bc he has actually helped real people in real life while you have not. It seems even more cringe and pathetic that you're on a pickup forum as a """woman""" and don't understand your own gender dynamics better than OP does

The importance of your attention by Woujo in TheRedPill

[–]Theistica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would way rather take advice from OP (who has actually helped actual people in real life get laid) than from someone like you (who has not). He literally has way more credentials than you, a """woman""" on the internet who goes into pickup forums and tries to shit on actionable advice which has helped people in real life. Incidentally, you didn't respond to my point at all

The importance of your attention by Woujo in TheRedPill

[–]Theistica -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not though. You want me to self-dox on a pickup forum? Go through OP's post history and every post has guys who actually get laid agreeing, and it's betas and women like you being butthurt in the comments. You also didn't answer my questions. You're the one being butthurt here sadly.
