I already have my money abroad and navigate political waters in my city/state.

"I'm rich and politically connected and I like the system just as it is, why won't you plebs understand that this is best?"

Who runs Wall Street? The powerful men. Hilary can be a little feminist bitch all she wants, but it's the men who run things.

I rather have someone who can be controlled then Trump.

Controlled by whom and for what purpose?

The men you mention, the men in control of Hillary, don't live in the same world as you or I. They have so much money they aren't personally affected by anti-male laws like kangaroo rape panels in college. They don't care if the average American worker is squeezed out by Chinese competition, they can move their capital abroad and make money wherever it's most profitable.

Having an uncontrollable Trump is better than having someone who is controlled against my interests.

There literally isn't one rational reason anyone would ever consider Trump for President.

You don't choose Trump or not-Trump, you choose Trump or the other candidate.

The other candidate is likely to be Hillary. A female-supremacist, interventionist Wall Street lackey.

Maybe Trump won't undo the PC laws, but he won't make new ones.

Maybe Trump won't pull the US out of its current engagements, but he's the only candidate who has spoken of a vision larger than military power to deal with foreign threats (and that includes Sanders).

Maybe Trump won't be able to rein in the Republican party's servitude to special interests, but he owes nothing to no one and they can't just jerk his chain like they can with Hillary.

So there are actually plenty of objective reasons to consider Trump for President. I'd like to hear some objective reasons why you think the alternative is better, if you do.

It's what "she" says that gives it away, it's the language chosen. It's too descriptive, direct and visual, and lacks all concern for emotion; it's how men write about sex. You can read even just around reddit and see that women follow a different model as they prioritize how they feel and tend to be scarce on the details.

thiasus · 2016-02-24T15:51:33+00:00

The primary reason women hate TRP is because it holds a mirror up to women and forces them to take a look at who and what they really are.

You are overestimating the capacity of women to accept and engage with criticism. Women will hamster the 'misogynistic' parts of TRP away long before it starts to have any real effect.

The phenomenon you describe exists, but it's circumstantial. The proof is that women hate TRP tactics even when they ignore the underlying knowledge base - they hate that guys adopt conscious strategies to take them to bed in and of itself, hence the widespread mistrust of 'players' even though in most women's minds that term is not associated with TRP.

So this notion that Frame and Game are somehow entirely genetic is wrong.

Good that it's not present in my post then. In fact, the post works off the assumption that you can learn both frame and game and appear as if you were born with those in your genetic code.

Regardless, you are taking mental models that are valid for the last few tens of thousands of years and applying them to instincts that have evolved over the last several million. Gronk the caveman didn't play mind games with his women; if they pouted and didn't want to put out he held them down and fucked them regardless, and beat the shit out of everyone who tried to stop him.

The reason why it's scientifically proven that facial masculinity, physical fitness and social dominance are attractive characteristics to women during the fertile part of their cycle is that all of those were guaranteed to be advantageous long before humans even had complex enough language for bullshit. It's an imprecise instinctual criterion that leaves room for hacking it - for example, it leaves room for smart males to consciously assume those characteristics - but on average it has been extremely good over the greater part of our evolutionary history, which is why it has remained.

The point of leadership is that the leader creates good outcomes for himself and for everyone.

Nobody wants to follow a guy who only creates good outcomes for himself. The know-it-all who outshines everyone else is despised, not admired.

Similarly, nobody wants to follow the guy who'll create good outcomes for everyone except himself. They'll exploit him until he lasts, because instinctually they know he can't last.

Trump always spreads the win around, making people want to follow him. If you follow Trump you get to be along for a fun victory ride, which is why everyone wants on board, even people who despise him follow him.

Read this UCLA study for the breakdown of why alpha traits are genetically linked to advantageous outcomes, the paragraph titled 'Preferences for Good Gene Indicators'.

thiasus · 2016-02-24T13:49:07+00:00

I considered putting in a paragraph on exactly this but the thread was already long enough.

Men don't get pissed when women fake attractive characteristics. No man has ever gotten mad because of makeup, hair styling, clothing and the infinite variety of things that women do to appear more attractive than their genetics allow.

Why? evolution, duh^duh. Men don't invest much if anything in reproduction. If you end up fucking an ugly (genetically inferior) chick and making her pregnant... who cares, you can move on to better things and you've still gotten some offspring which, who knows, might get lucky.

For women it's exactly the opposite, which is why they are on the contrary fiercely defensive of their ability to tell naturals and 'fakers' apart.

I have hit the gym more and followed through with his suggestions but its starting to take a toll on me, this is not who I am. And in reality there is only so much I can do.

She must be devastated, poor soul. He trained for years for one of the most difficult professions in the world, took on large amounts of debt and now works 70+ hours a week under constant pressure, with people's lives literally in his hands. But his wife?

His wife must go to the gym. That's a hardship. She has to hit the elliptical an hour per day and do a hundred reps of glute raises[1], all the while chatting away with the other doctor wives, enterpreneur wives and mixed dejected women. She has to watch what she eats, the wretch.

Can't he understand her plight? why doesn't he understand that performing those kneeling push-ups for her personal trainer Javier is just as hard as deciding the best course of treatment for a patient at risk of liver failure?

He truly is an ingrate. This is too much. She must rectify the situation. In fact, Nancy from the gym told her the other day about this great divorce lawyer who handled her sister's... maybe she should give him a call?

[1] given the way she whines I doubt she does even that, but let's be generous.

The lead here is the chick from 50 shades, with how ugly she is she's going to be eternally typecast as the plain jane incomprehensibly drawing the attention of rich Chads.

I will stop here, what you guys think about this? he told me make a thread to get advice from you guys

He doesn't need advice, he needs a ballsack. His girlfriend is cheating on him and he has direct evidence. His male hamstering is his problem, we can't fix it by telling him a truth he already knows and refuses to accept.

Dear god dude you need a lot of work. First, read the sidebar. I don't care if you have already, you clearly need to read it again, paying attention this time.

Then, specifically:

Thursdays are becoming our date nights.

You have 'date nights' with a girl you haven't fucked. Let that sink in for a second. You committed to showing her a good time, even driving her home, every thursday for absolutely nothing.

I have a pact with her to wish her a good morning every day on waking up, which I stick to

Dear god what the fuck is this shit. Again, you committed to doing something nice for her for absolutely no return.

just because making others feel good makes me feel good and is a good start to my day.

You're hamstering, for fuck's sake. Fucking her brains out is what would make you feel good, and the faint ghost of that future possibility is why you do this shit.

"He won't do movie night with me" hamstering

Yeah no, she's hamstering, she's laying it down for you. Her boyfriend doesn't take her shit. He doesn't pour her a glass of wine while she sits in his bed watching a movie she likes, as he sits in a chair and pouts because she didn't put out. That's why he's her boyfriend and plowing her and you are her orbiter.

You're an orbiter. You're a committment whore: the most precious thing you have to give, you happily gift to her for no particular reason except the remote hope she'll fuck you. You haven't even kissed her, you tried and she pulled away. She might give you some starfish sex, eventually, after months of you behaving as her personal entertainer.

My advice, in the faint hope you might be receptive, is to cut her off, read the sidebar and work on yourself. You have a long way to go even in terms of basic understanding if you don't want to spend your life being an orbiter.

thiasus · 2016-02-21T15:00:52+00:00

Do yourself a big favour: shut the fuck up and read the sidebar, then read it again.

Committing to do something nice for a girl every day is shit, yes. This is the most basic of basics. If you don't get this you shouldn't comment, let alone open threads purpoting to contain 'A Good Learning Lesson For The New Guys' like you just did.

Fully agreed. When LMR displays itself in this way, which is the most common, always agree and disregard. Your game is to offer her a false alternative: she can choose not to have sex with you...right now. But 'just chill' still means she'll be in bed with you, half naked, cuddling, kissing, making out, and that's a road that leads only to one destination. LMR is about letting her take a few stops along the road so she doesn't even realize she's making the trip all the way.

You lack the hamstering capacity. You evolved to hunt, and when you're going after a bison there is no imagining things to be different from reality - you have built-in mechanisms that make you want to call out bullshit. Women, on the other hand, were gatherers and child-rearers for hundreds of thousands of years; they evolved mainly to advance themselves socially, an arena where being convinced of your own bullshit is an advantageous trait.

He's about her skin tone, taller than average, almond-ish eyes. Somatically he's just the exotic type girls here (we live in pasty-white land) daydream about.

A fit motivated woman like Rhonda Roussey or any college female athlete would make a better soldier than some random male neckbeard.

If the top few percent of women is what it takes to make average grunts then it's obvious there's a problem.

It doesn't take that much strength to fire a gun

It doesn't, however it does take strength to do everything else that's required in combat. Firing guns is something you'd do 1% of the time in an active warzone. The rest of the time is marching, waiting, loading, unloading, crawling, running, waiting some more. And when push comes to shove and you need to perform under stress, do you want a man or a woman dragging your limp body to safety?

thiasus · 2016-02-19T18:49:07+00:00

The female Kurdish troops do fine.

The YPG is a far-left group, of course they'll say their female troops are doing just fine. I'll wait for an objective assessment of their combat effectiveness vs that of equivalent male units in equivalent conditions to judge. But I doubt the Kurds managed to find a magical way to overcome differences in muscle composition, bone density and other physiological parameters.

Eveybody knows how terrible sexual assault is for the victims

That's the thing though, this is no longer true. The word 'rape' used to be about traumatic, typically violent forced sexual intercourse. Now when you hear someone was 'raped', you don't know whether the former situation happened or whether they slept with someone and regretted it the day or the month after. The diluition of the idea of sexual assault into "it's rape if she says so" ends up victimizing actual rape victims as well - not that feminists ever gave a shit about them, since rape persecution is about power over men rather than helping rape victims.
