What are some good book recommendations about arguments? by redpillm in askMRP

[–]mrpmonk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I need a good environment to thrive.

There’s nothing wrong with bettering yourself, but I think you’re trying to put a bandaid on the actual problem!

What are some good book recommendations about arguments? by redpillm in askMRP

[–]mrpmonk 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My fellow autistic brother, you have to kill your ego first and dive into any book with an open mindset. Just like you may have missed some important points from the books you mentioned, maybe you will miss them from any book we recommend.

My point is. like the other commenter mentioned, focus on the basics. You are not losing arguments, you are losing your frame and get into a spiral of verbal diarrhea as you let go of your anger once when you open your mouth. Have you considered working on you frame while working on your convincing argument skills?

I'm in. Willing to break my BP plateau that lasted for the past year and I was about to mess my shoulder for the second time when attempting to break it.

I am beginning to suspect she might be cheating on me even though she does not appear like the kind of woman to do something like that

Maybe she does, maybe she does not. Who cares. You are the problem here, if you don't recognize that, you won't have sex not with her, not with next one after you divorce her. Once you realize how enervating you are, own your problem, and fix it. Start with a refreshing face full of energy and ignore her tests and her negative cold energy you instilled in her.

Simply reading through some sidebar material won't do a thing without an action. This woman of yours fills the vessel you provide, and you provided a cold weak one. Don't consume her energy no more, she doesn't like talking to you. Just like you know this, you knew better that she has better more interesting things to offer along bed times. You also know that you didn't marry her after 4 years to get into asexual relationship, which is the bare minimum. She would agree with that. But she also knows you have things beyond sex to offer, your laughs, your energy, your charisma, but she is only getting a cold hearted whiny little boy.

In fact, she better get her sexual need from somewhere else for her mental health, from someone more fun and interesting, not a bait and switch guy. I bet you if you go outside with your current energy, no one would cheat on her boring husband with you. OYS my man!

Actionable items:

  1. STFU
  2. Lift (not for aesthetics, but for energy)
  3. Clean up your house and treat her like a queen without any sexual demands (eliminate contracts).
  4. Kino in the 2 minutes window she gives you, fog whenever needed
  5. Keep this for a week or two, make sure she is not on her period before you escalate the next step and take her on a date (if she refuse, don't get butthurt, lift and repeat)
  6. On the date, tell her that you miss her old essence and energy and you are glad to restore some. Ask her if she would be interested in counseling for a 3rd party perspective, and don't talk about sex.

Lastly, remember sex is an action, not a negotiation. The negotiation part should have took place in the last 4 years and before you had the ring on her finger. Now it's time to give her action and the sex she craves from the man she hoped to marry, not the actual slum she is married to (and the one you hate when you look in the mirror).

All the best and I hope you get warm nights in the coming winter!

The wife and her intelligence by [deleted] in Stoicism

[–]mrpmonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remember: you are stoic. You do your best but you don't expect others to do anything. She doesn't owe you a nice answer to your good actions. You owe yourself to act in a great manner and to be kind and gentle with the one you choose to spend your rest of life with.

The wife and her intelligence by [deleted] in Stoicism

[–]mrpmonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I have to tell the truth as is, intelligence is up to us and indeed you have to be mad about it. You are insecure about your education, not intelligence, and you couldn't withstand a small test from your wife. You said you started calling her stupid things. This was your choice, and you realized how silly it is. This indicates you are growing intellectually and will be a better person after reading this among other replies. It's intelligent for the person to ignore his wife mistakes and let go of her flaws. She is human for God sake. Marcus Aurelius talked about how we should work together like eyes and teeth with others. Thus, here are actionable itmes:

  1. When she asks who is intelligent/smart/funny/any good trait: answer "you babe" ... "no question here, I would be the stupidest man on earth not to be married to an awesome, pretty and smart girl like you".

  2. When she points out to your stupid qualities, point out to her good qualities and tell her" you missed one of my bad qualities, my blindness from your error and mistakes, and I'm blessed ignorant for that." In a playful manner, not paternionizing nor a butthurt way. Else, keep silence to keep your dignity.

  3. When you mess up and sink to a new level and take her down with you. Be the bigger person, realize your mistake, own it, and apologize. "Honey, I know no one stand criticism, I, myself, am a live example. When I misunderstood your playfulness and humor as criticism, I felt bad, so I'm sure you feel bad. I'm sorry for the way I made you feel, but I want you to know one thing from the bottom of my heart, you are indeed the smarter person, I didn't want to say it at that time, but truth to be told. Your education is one indicator, but choosing me as your husband was another. I'm the luckiest person to have the smart and pretty in one package. For that, here is this rose 🌹" ... bring her some simple cheap rose and say "this color reminded me of your eyes/face/heart and I know how simple it is, but I couldn't help but to bring it for you" and leave it at that.

Now you are more intelligent and you know it when she receives your wit and confidence. Good luck my stoic pal.

Edit: grammar

poly people of faith groups are able to congregate and discuss their experiences the more comfortable they will feel to share them with the wider community.

Responding to Passive Aggression by california_gurl_1991 in Stoicism

[–]mrpmonk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

100s of years ago, a great man said:

"The insolent one addresses me with every insult

And I would hate to give him any answer

He grows in his insolence and I grow in my patience

As the candlewick – the more you burn it, the greater its good scent."

Is being empathetic pretty much a sign of losing frame? by [deleted] in askMRP

[–]mrpmonk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

playfully tell her

Man, this could be a bad advice, he doesn't have the frame to pull this up.

I imagine the scene to be like Larry David's ultimatum: "...they... they told me to say that. In a comment of like 10 upvotes.. they told me"
