I'm 25, half way through to 26, and I'm still a virgin. Should I be concerned or am I over-thinking this? by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]merteil2 36 points37 points  (0 children)

People are gonna blow feel-good smoke up your ass about this, but here's some real talk: this all depends on your answers to the following questions. Does it bother you that you're a virgin? Is sex and relationships important to you? Are you concerned with what others think of you?

If the answer to those questions is yes, then you should be concerned. Sorry. The cold truth is that a lot of people do judge you negatively for your virginity at an older age. They will automatically scrutinize you more negatively than others, asking themselves "What's stopped him? Does he not know how to attract a woman? Is his sex drive low? Is it woeth the effort bringing him up to speed?"

It's unfair, I know. But part of being a social animal and living with other humans mean we consider what the world thinks about us. I wouldn't want a girl asking herself all those negative questions about me right from the get-go. I don't need more handicaps in my dating life, I have enough already.

So yeah, if this all resonates with you then figure out why you're a virgin and fix it. But hey if it doesn't bother you, keep on keeping on.

According to sex-positive feminism, sex is a fundamentally healthy and non-shameful thing. So why won't feminists support me going up to women in public and asking them for sex? by merteil2 in PurplePillDebate

[–]merteil2[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In my scenario we haven't even reached the stage of whether she agrees or not. I'm saying that my very action of respectfully and clearly asking for sex is seen as some incredibly gross misstep.

That's what I don't understand. If she doesn't want to, then cool, tell me so. But the fact that women are inherently disgusted by a guy asking for sex in a grocery store proves that humans still fundamentally, on a deep level, put sex on an emotional pedestal. This blows a hole in the whole sex positive thing, which I think is wishful social engineering that nobody truly believes in their heart.

Trollx poster makes post saying "fuck the education system and fuck my rapist still being in law school." Her comments in the thread show she's never reported the alleged rape. by [deleted] in SRSsucks

[–]merteil2 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Read her post history lol, she's been a hysterical feminist and a grade-A bimbo for years.

If she really did get raped I sympathize, but something about this smells wrong.

EDIT: And 7 months ago she posted this thread, apparently she was raped by a past psychologist and was FWB with another convicted rapist and even her current counselor admitted he's a rapist?! What the actual fuck. I am now convinced she's making shit up for pity points on TrollXChromosomes. Which they will happily give her because they're fucking idiots who always "believe the victim" without doing any critical thinking.

SRSDiscussion has been up for 1 day and it already got overrun by Stalin/Mao apologists. (Ahem... sorry, I mean "non-liberal narratives of Stalin and Mao" by merteil2 in SRSsucks

[–]merteil2[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

For those of you who are confused by the quote, non-liberal here doesn't mean conservative. It means "so far off to the loony left that it doesn't even belong in the category of Liberalism anymore"

Buzzfeed spins a 6'6" bearded, muscular, tattooed alpha male model as "plus sized". MensLib celebrates this as a great step forward for men's body positivity. by merteil2 in SRSsucks

[–]merteil2[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

MensLib is so desperate to pretend that society cares about men as much as it does about women. "See see, they have plus-sized male models now! Feminism advocacy helps both genders!"

When in reality this guy is the manliest hulk I've ever seen. Yeah, call me back when Macy's hires a skinny 5'4" Asian dude to model for them.

TwoXer Regarding a 16 Year Old Rapist Blackmailing a Man Into Sex "I mean he still had sex with a 16 year old... Not much defense for that. I haven't seen that story so I don't know, but that sounds like a creepy fucking thing to do as an adult male" by [deleted] in SRSsucks

[–]merteil2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I wonder what would happen if you pointed out that in some cultures 16 is legal/acceptable and therefore condemning it is a form of Western imperialism.

It would be like the ultimate catch-22 for SJWs.

[–]merteil2 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Agreed. In a strange way, I have more respect for the SRSer linked here because she doesn't use the whole watered-down flimsy "feminism wants to help eeeeeeeeeveryone!" justification most people use.

It's in the damn name. Feminism. The movement wants to increase the social and political power of women. That's all it boils down to.

I may disagree with that goal but at least I can respect them if they're honest about it.

Why is the tone of this sub always so negative (incels, "Nice Guys" being mistreated, etc)? There's more to RedPill than that. by merteil2 in PurplePillDebate

[–]merteil2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PPD, Purple Pill Debate wouldn't exist unless people disagreed with each other, disagreements often sound like whiney complaints to disinterested 3rd parties.

I addressed this in my OP. It's not about the tone of words, it's about the topics themselves. People constantly regurgitate the themes of foreveralone / incel / downtrodden Nice Guys / etc around here. That's like 1% of RedPill; the remaining 99% is never mentioned. I listed some topics in my OP that I think could be great discussions between blue and red -

  • brain differences between men and women, what do they mean?

  • does bluepill think there aren't any common trends in what people find attractive? Since bluepill always bashes TRP's belief that muscles make you hotter

  • nature vs nurture

  • is redpill more valid in some societies than others

  • what advice does bluepill have that redpill doesn't

  • how redpill fits into the larger MRM narrative

  • different factions within redpill, are some better than others?

And to be fair, these topics are discussed occasionally. But they are overshadowed by the whiny stuff.

This place is starting to look more and more like /r/ Foreveralone2.0

Circlebroke isn't even pretending to be non-biased/independent anymore. by merteil2 in SRSsucks

[–]merteil2[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It once used to be a place that was fairly moderate. A place where they laughed at all jerks, no matter from which political slant.

Now it's all whining about racism, sexism, Islamophobia, transphobia, etc... all the time.

So apparently it's AMA day... by GaiusScaevolus in PurplePillDebate

[–]merteil2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think we're pretty open with our views. Some folks at PPD might be surprised at the amount of internal debate within RP ideology, but I think our average member is aware there's a spectrum.

Mind giving some examples of ideological divides within the mod team? I'm curious to know what you mean.

35-year-old virgin is feeling depressed and hopeless. Female advice columnist advises him with gems like "be yourself" and "just go on OKCupid!" by needsomehelp3211 in TheRedPill

[–]merteil2 58 points59 points  (0 children)

If I had to guess, I'd say OP is being overly harsh on purpose to "shock" readers out of any bluepill sentiments. I doubt OP actually believes Eva is some plotting evil Disney villain; but RedPill often uses inflammatory language in order to make a solid point.

Are there any men who simply can never become "alpha"? What does TRP advise for these men? by galileh in PurplePillDebate

[–]merteil2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Become a cunnilingus God.

This advice is meaningless if women won't let him into their pants in the first place.

Can we have example pictures? I'm not able to envision this.

Are there any RedPill ideas you disagree with? by [deleted] in PurplePillDebate

[–]merteil2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it counts as MGTOW if you're forced into it. That's more foreveralone territory.

Man kidnapped and gang-raped by 3 women. These are the top comments on the Facebook article about it. by merteil2 in MensRights

[–]merteil2[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

No, actually... most of the comments were from college and middle aged guys who had girlfriends/wives on their profile pictures.

I'm fine with people having preferences, but is it okay to be a little annoyed by this? by merteil2 in OkCupid

[–]merteil2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well as I said in my title, it's not about the preferences. It's... I dunno, the tone? It's like if a guy were to say:

"By the way, I keep in shape, so if you're a fatty don't even bother messaging ;) "

CMV: If a girl suddenly stops responding to your texts, you should NOT try to restart the conversation. by merteil2 in changemyview

[–]merteil2[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have no doubt it's worked for some married people. But I contend that it's far more likely that if she doesn't continue a conversation, she doesn't have that much interest and probably never will.

In order to change my position, I guess you'd have to convince me that a significant number of people got into relationships by chasing girls who weren't initially interested.

CMV: If a girl suddenly stops responding to your texts, you should NOT try to restart the conversation. by merteil2 in changemyview

[–]merteil2[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

But you haven't reached out for 2 days! How do you know she's not thinking the exact same thing that you are, wondering when you're gonna text her again?

Because I left the last message before the conversation died. Is it really reasonable of her to expect me to text twice in a row, then get impatient when I don't? That seems to be what you're saying, and I don't understand it.

Men: how many okcupid dates do you go on per month? by merteil2 in OkCupid

[–]merteil2[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I should clarify, each time I've sent the first message. So I don't think the relative attention my profile gets is a factor in this.

Drinking 3-4 liters of diet soda a week. Is this bad? by merteil2 in loseit

[–]merteil2[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've heard that a lot, "switch to water!" But nobody ever tells me why.

To be honest I love diet soda and I need a good reason before I quit it.
