Because it's not associated with TRP. No need to link it, but it's a meme on adviceanimals. It reads:

Subject: After encouraging my (now ex) girlfriend to lose weight for her health and self esteem, this happened yesterday

And the meme itself:

Hear a rumor from a reliable source that girlfriend of two years is cheating on me

Confront girlfriend with the rumor and she responds, "I'm sorry, but I can do better than you now."

The only reason this is surprising to any of us here is because it's more honesty than a woman tends to offer, and totally free of the hamster. But it's hilarious how this dude who helped her become a better person is now getting tossed to the curb for better men (hypergamy) after he sacrificed his own time and resources to make her a better person.

Society teaches us that such a loving, selfless act will endear a woman to you forever and make her love you. Well, apparently it didn't make this woman love her man enough to stick around after she lost her whale blubber and alpha males decided she's now fuckable.

Remember men, love is a game, and sexuality is a weapon. Give women the power and opportunity to trade up, even if done as an act of love, and your ass will be the one who gets next'ed. The one with the higher SMV holds all the cards, and women don't stick around with chumps who suddenly end up with lesser SMV than themselves, regardless of the circumstances.

Bonus: One of the top-rated comments is from a female who also had a man who encouraged her to lose weight, and she innocently asks OP if he was "as controlling" as her boyfriend was.

80% of women who get gastric bypass surgery to lose weight end up leaving their husbands. It's bad enough that some doctors make the patient sign a waiver acknowledging that it is a risk of the surgery. If you fucked her when she was fat, then she will hate you for being a fatty fucker when she turns skinny. It's like that Dave Chappelle skit about the blind black man that was in the KKK, when he discovered that he was black, he divorced his wife for "being a nigger lover".

[–]grewapair23 points24 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

A better example is the boob job. It's the last thing you'll pay for as a couple before you get served with the divorce papers.

[–]1neveragoodtime10 points11 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Can confirm. Wife insisted on a boob job, and 6 months later insisted on a divorce. Medical bills were shared in the divorce, so I'm still paying off those boobs a year later.

[–]NastiN86 points7 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

This is exactly my mom. She never lost all that baby fat that came with birthing my brother. She found my former step-dad who accepted her as a chubster & worshipped the ground she walked on. He even supported her plan to get the gastric by-pass. She lost a ton of weight, going from 220 lbs down to about 115. 8 or so months after surgery she files for divorce. Tired of this boring hick truck driver, she can do better now. So the story goes.

[–]awinnarisyou6 points7 points  (5 children) | Copy Link

Is that a real statistic? It sounds absurdly high.

and I thought most people that get gastric bypass don't even lose weight in the long term

http://rfl.com/Portals/3/PDF/Counseling%20Bariatric%20Surgery%20Patients.pdf

"If a patient in a long-term marriage was a normal weight when the marriage began,” Pilcher says, “that marriage is probably in pretty good shape to withstand the changes following surgery. If the patient was heavy at the time the marriage or the relationship began, however, there’s an 80% to 85% chance that that relationship is going to break up within two years of surgery.

[–]2alisonstone12 points13 points  (2 children) | Copy Link

It was posted on TRP a while back, cross posted from some other subreddit that is less biased (I think from r/TIL). It does sound high, but that is what the article that it linked to said. Keep in mind that divorce rates are something like 50%, and extremely obese women tend to come from the classes that have higher divorce rates. So the norm might be 60% for them already.

Gastric bypass is the one surgery that does work for long term weight loss. It reduces the size of the stomach so the person physically cannot eat too much food. Stuff like liposuction isn't a good solution for obesity because the person typically keep their old habits and continues consuming excess calories, so the fat eventually comes back.

[–]ThePedanticCynic2 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

I'd be surprised if it was from TIL. They censor things that cast women in any but flattering light.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

I've known 4-5 people that gastric bypass and all of them lost more than 100lbs and have kept it off so far (5+ years).

[–]1thrownaway_MGTOW2 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

And 5 to 10 years later most of them end up as obese (or super obese) all over again -- so in the mean time if they do manage to "hook a fish" he generally has a coin-toss probability of ending up with a whale.

Actually, that whole scene is almost directly applicable to TRP. Continuing the dialogue:

K: Imagine what you'll know tomorrow.

[–][deleted] 13 points14 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

A person noting a single event is normal.

A person seeing the pattern, learning to predict it, act on it, and profit from it is unacceptable and threatens their power.

That person pointing out the pattern to others, and training them to see and act as they do? That is dangerous on a level they cannot tolerate.

Remember they want NATURAL alphas. We are trained. We work for it. That is inherently unattractive because they can see the work here on reddit and scary because they know they won't be able to tell the difference in the meatspace.

[–]poclitically_corekt 32 points32 points [recovered] | Copy Link

Happened to me. Ex-wife got a gastric bypass and dropped 150 lbs. in a year and some change. She began staying out in the bars and not being home when I woke up. I eventually found text evidence of my upgrade and had to hit the red button to blow up the beta fantasy I had tried so desperately to hold to. Ironies are sweet: hard lifting and TRP principles have me looking good and getting laid. She has gained back tremendous weight from the drinking as folks who get bariatric surgery are prone to "addiction swapping". Alas, there are no shortcuts but TRP knows this already. Thanks guys.

As I suspected, women will only be loyal to men that they perceive as better looking or higher status than themselves. It's why asshole dudes who mentally shatter their girlfriends or wives and suppress their self esteem are able to keep them around.

The choice is clear if you want to maintain yourself as a good man. Raise your SMV

The uncomfortable truth is in plain sight for those who are willing to look, and in time, it will become comfortable.

[–]LAUGHINGNONCHALANTLY13 points14 points  (5 children) | Copy Link

I think part of the discomfort has to do with admitting that we're still just animals and that regardless of our ability to think rationally we're still driven by instincts/feelings we don't decide to have.

And that regardless of how unique the life of a person has been they're still going to follow patterns in behavior as displayed by others in different circumstances and some of those are universal. No one is a special snowflake.

Yes one of the most important concepts for me to finally understand was that sexual attraction is not a choice. You can't decide to be attracted to somebody because they are doing nice things for you.

Way I see it, no woman whatsoever is loyal the way Western men expect/want it ("because LOVE, bro!"). Not even the best. Men expect she'll be loyal to him, his personality, his fate, his ego. She isn't, she's loyal only to her personality, her fate, her ego.

For many modern women, her personality is shit, her fate is to be a cheating whore, and her ego is so fickle, she's toxic even to herself. The damage she does to the men in her life is merely collateral.

[–]Ninja_Yewnicorn6 points7 points  (6 children) | Copy Link

This comment brings up a question in my mind that stems from confusion and a genuine desire to understand and respect men. I hope my question conveys this intention.

If the gender roles were switched, does that then describe the type of woman TRP condones as wife material? In other words, arent the men in this sub advocating to other men to only be loyal to the women they perceive to be high status?

Would you leave a woman who became lower status in your eyes, regardless of the reason, even say, after marriage?

And since we're on the topic, what are some characteristics of a woman highly valued by TRP men and what would cause you to leave her?

So much of what you teach men, not everything but most, brings about this carnal desire within me and I'm immediately turned on at the idea of having a partner who erred on the side of TRP.

*some of the stuff I read isn't based in creating a loving partnership and that's what turns me off about it, but the advice given to men on how to attract women (for love and partnership) gets me at the carnal, sexual, submissive, mammalian level of my feminine being and I'm just like mm shit... that's the husband I want.

[–]DoesNotMatterAnymore25 points26 points  (2 children) | Copy Link

Would you leave a woman who became lower status in your eyes, regardless of the reason, even say, after marriage?

Men love unconditionally. As /u/SenorPuff said, we care about your looks and personality. Your status doesn't matter. Which means, if you lose your job (exp) we still gonna love you the way you are. Also don't get fat, you have to pass the boner test!

Women love conditionally (hypergamy): Women loves us for WHAT we are. Confident, funny, good job/carrier, social status, etc. BUT i can lose all these. If i lose my well paying job, and not able to get a new one, i can fall into depression. I will lose my confidence, i'm gonna be sad (not a funny anymore), a wimpy guy with no job, my friends can turn they back on me. A man can lose all his attractive traits very easily.

...and what will a women say after all these? "There is no spark anymore..." Ofc, because i lost every reason why you loved me, and you don't care about WHO i am.

[–]lolthr0w1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Anyone that cares about kids is going to want to marry an intelligent woman, no? IQ is partly heritable. Granted, intelligence isn't exactly IQ.

[–]Senior ContributorSkorchZang2 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

TRP is for men. It's not for women. Gender roles underlying "carnal attraction" are innate and fundamentally not switchable.

On the other hand, "loving partnership" as the ideal, is a completely new invention - as far as I know it was invented around the 1960ies, to create the "profession" of marriage counselling, and is one cog in the enormous family-unit-destruction machine that the elite are still actively building and revving up in America.

When "carnal attraction" is purified and distilled down to its very essence, it always intersects with the spiritual in a most uncanny way. On this level, there is absolutely no sign of any "loving partnerships", we're instead talking about a swirling tango of two constantly shifting deeply antagonistic forces, which by their perpetual interaction mysteriously create out of themselves an unpredictable, new third force with completely different properties.

For softies not ready to face the all out battle of the sexual forces, TRP promotes the Captain/First Mate dynamic, which is good in that it gives excellent chances to the man and woman both to thrive in their "natural element".

[–]TRP VanguardCyralea0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Men have different criteria for deducing status than women do. A man's SMV is a sum of many parts; looks, character, status, wealth, charm, emotional stability, etc. For women, it's mostly her looks, and how pleasant she is.

A man lowers his value when he loses any of the above. For women, they only have to maintain those two things. Further, men go into marriages knowing that their partner's looks will decline, at least somewhat. There's the expectation that they won't put on additional weight -- that's one major area of contention.

You can see how it's much easier for a man to lower his value than a woman. There's a reason why 70% of divorces are initiated by women.

[–]doritoesNcoffee4 points5 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

This. Never invest into people. Instead, make them owe you. There is a huge fucking difference between investing out of a good heart and making a person owe you.

But gees DoritoesNcoffee, how do I know if I'm investing into a person or just making them owe me? If you are investing into a person, you are the one initiating it, thinking for them. It's the same as giving cat a treat, it'll start to take it for granted.

Now on the other hand, if someone needs a favor, you don't immediately respond to it. You have to show them that you are going out of your way and specifically make them understand that they will "owe you one later."

You were not born to guide others to victory. You are here to be the victor yourself surrounded by allies(people who owe you.)

If she's just a plate, it doesn't really matter what she does because you're not committed to her. If she improves her life and wants to move on, drop her and spin another one.

If you're married or in an LTR, if you're encouraging her to work out you need to be in the gym too. If you lift them up to your level, you need to be lifting yourself up to an even higher level. Try to be equal, and you will lose.

Bitches and their baggage man, I'm telling you. So much butthurt and projection. Kind of like the beta faggots that roam around this sub trying to find things to pick at and bicker over rather than use the sub for its intended purpose. To learn how to stop being a beta faggot and get your ship in shape.

Beta on TRP = guy who wants to turn his ship around

Beta faggot on TRP = sits here intellectually masturbating reading all the shit as some abstract concept but does NOTHING to change his life instead getting into petty arguments with other users, a clear conscious choice to spend time arguing online rather than doing something productive.

We need to start banning the latter and shaming them. If you see some cunt needlessly going off topic and attacking another poster, report his ass. Holier than thou pretension hasn't got a place here.

I am tired of what I perceive to be man-children adding no depth to the sub just needlessly criticising everything they see with put-downs. These faggots have no place here and their whole demeanour and sensitivity goes against the spirit of the place. I fucking despise 'em. Too much meta faggotry. That's the problem with reddit, too many fuckers who have read a book but haven't picked up a damn dumbbell. You can tell when you're talking to one because they just criticise others from a place of self-importance and stay rooted firmly in the realm of pedanticism. No talking from experience (because they have little) no aggression (because they don't lift and have low T), no examples or howtos, but just this pretentious faggotry they try to pass off as advice. These "people" just come here to fuck with our community, and they are a blight on it. We don't need 'em, but they're sure as shit obsessed with us.

I was here from around the 4k~ member mark and I've had beta fags who have been here 2 minutes criticise how I TALK (big words, you swear too much etc.) Fuckoff. Shit if I wanna go thesaurus on your ass or talk like I sell fucking crack, I will. I talk how I damn well want. In fact I encourage all men to adopt multiple ways of talking rather than be confined to one way because you need to be versatile for different situations based on context and company. Alas, tone policing is a sign of the beta fag "Oooh I don't like how you're communicating with me!" bitch please. Never had to deal with the faggots of reddit back then and that's one of the utterly shit things about the sub getting large, every cunt shows up and has their utter pile of wank for an opinion that they want to give. And they'll do that shit without helping anyone in the process. Total cunts.

Damn right. I talk differently to a client than I do to a colleague, to a friend rather than I do a girlfriend. Being able to be flexible and adaptable is key for success in life - how can you expect to win people over and adopt the role of leader if you can't communicate with them effectively?

Alas, tone policing is a sign of the beta fag

Funnily enough, as soon as I know that someone has spent some time on 4Chan, I'm inclined to trust them. Why? Because there are some smart motherfuckers over there and they won't hesitate to call you out on your bullshit or call you a faggot. I'd rather have that brutal honesty rather than some SJW type with their backstabbing and crab-bucket mentality.

Good god. If ever there was a terminal cancer on reddit it's this. There's a good amount of difference between correcting an actionable fact and dissecting a sentence for the sake of it.

Something about the typical redditor that makes them pedantic assholes. Perhaps an association with OCD and the need for things to always be correctly in place.

Empty criticism like that which attacks style over substance is akin to the feminine/emotional side of the spectrum. Caring more about how it's said rather than what is said. Then there's the ego behind thinking someone should change themselves for you. LOL, seriously. Some of the newer guys on this subreddit should not be posting at all.

[–]Senior ContributorDemonspawn6 points7 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

I came up with an old saying a long time ago:

People will teach you everything you need to know about them when they try to convince you of something.

When someone tries to appeal to your emotion, it's because they're an emotional thinker. When someone gives you facts and figures, they're a rational thinker. When someone tries to shame and blame you for being wrong, it's because they're driven by shame and blame.

Often I'll play devil's advocate to someone just to find out what kind of person they are.

I did catch myself while reading one of your older posts thinking that there is some fat to trim in between what you're trying to say because it can(and apparently does) distract some people but that's their burden, not yours. Write however you enjoy doing so.

Nobody forced anyone to be here and read any of this.

[–]TRP Vanguard: "Dark Triad Expert"IllimitableMan2 points3 points [recovered] (0 children) | Copy Link

Older posts admittedly need a grammar clean up, the sentences are too long which is why it seems like "fat needs trimming." I'm aware of that. That's an objective problem, that's good criticism. I accept that and I will go back and make them more readable when I have the time. But the newer stuff does not have that problem, the grammar is much better, the sentences shorter, that wasn't the problem. They took issue with the style, which is a moot point as its preference based. You can never please everyone. If I write for a 10th grade level, people with university degrees will think "this reads very simply - maybe it needs expanding." This is why I'm not a people pleaser, I please myself, because some cunt will always find a way to undermine you, it's par for the course and that's not just with writing an article but that goes for anything. Some of my favourite texts (Schopenhauer, for example) contain some of the wordiest longest sentences you will ever read. Doesn't mean the guy can't fucking write, apparently everyone should be Hemingway, nah, fuck that.

The 'controlling' thing sounds to me like the ex-post facto hamsterisation of why she left him, when really it was just subconsciously driven hypergamy because she got in shape and could now do better.

[–]Entrefut0 points1 point  (1 child) | Copy Link

I had a lengthy conversation with a guy who was doing this to people the other day, though he wasn't really picking people apart, he was just misinformed about the general direction of this thread. Honestly if people don't read the side bar and then come into TRP reading the top posts of the day, they will think we're crazy, because they have absolutely no understand of our perspective. I ended the conversation with, "Go read the sidebar, then some of the other top posts of all time, then head to a couple of the more informed bloggers sites, then if you do all that come back and participate in this thread, but if you can't do that, don't post here, because we don't want the opinions of people who are too lazy to take the time to understand a philosophy before criticizing it."

That's uncanny, I just saw that one and posted the following comment:

It's hypergamy 101. Her SMV went up while yours stayed the same. This is why it's extremely common for wives/gf's who get a boob job or drop a ton of weight to dump their SO in short order because of the huge increase in attention they get from other men that translates to more and often times better (perceived) options.

[–]knitro 36 points36 points [recovered] | Copy Link

Its not necessarily that dire.

Cheating is a low courage move to be expected of a recovering fattie (She's still in the 'really, he's interested in me!?' phase) but what this really says is he didn't make commiserate gains in his own SMV to keep her around. He likely got lazy, complacent.

His comfortableness left him picking up the pieces when those of us who know better would've been able to nip it in the bud.

[–]WaynesCotting48 points49 points [recovered] (7 children) | Copy Link

His mistake was probably pure naivety. He believed the myth that he had grown up hearing, that women will stick by a good man just because he's good. He didn't realize he had to raise his SMV to compete because they were already a couple, and felt she would have loyalty to him just because she had previously loved him back, because he cared for her, and because he helped her improve herself. Because that's what he would've done, being a male with honor and loyalty.

He learned the hard way that women generally do not hold these virtues when push comes to shove.

He learned the hard way that women generally do not hold these virtues when push comes to shove.

I've been there too, and it fucking sucks. I had a girlfriend in my early college years with some self esteem issues. Being the good beta buck that I was, I complemented her as often as possible, appealed to her emotions and ego, until one day she got the courage to join a damn sorority. Suddenly, she was being fawned over by her "sisters" and other mouth-breathing fraternity guys. As soon as she realized her SMV was higher than mine, she left my ass to the curb so she could ride that cock carousel to the end of time.

Learned pretty quick that women can't be trusted in that way. They have no sense of honor or loyalty to those who help them out. The only way to keep them around is to constantly be improving yourself and having a higher SMV at all times.

[–]TRP VanguardCyralea0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

That's a bit of putting the cart before the horse. The reason why comfortableness causes a problem in a relationship in the first place is precisely because of female hypergamy.

[–]1wakethfkupneo9 points10 points  (3 children) | Copy Link

It's been said before, but worth repeating: healthy relationship (LTR/marriage) is about maintaining SMV difference, ideally +1 up to +1.5 SMV points in man's favor...

a) -2 or worse: she can't even imagine being sexual with you

b) -1: you might get pity sex once in a while but she's repulsed and won't think twice about upgrading

c) 0 (equal): she is interested but deep inside she can't stand equality and will go nuts with shit testing and shaking your frame

d) +1: healthy relationship; you're above her in the global scheme and hypergamy is haaaaapy ... but not too much above to be too much of a threat

e) +2: healthy but slightly unstable relationship; at this point you're a bit too much above and deep inside she's scared 24/7 of losing you to younger and hotter girls; also at this point she's opened to anything and you won't hear 'no' to any of your sexual fantasies

f) +3 and above: the difference is just way too big; even if you wanted to, she'd probably chicken out and run away to protect her heart from being broken (not uncommon) or be jealous beyond normal; not worth it and both of you understand that

Typical LTR/marriage scenario is that you meet her while d) or c) but then go beta or gain weight and drop to b) scenario. What follows is vagina shutting down and then you start searching for answers and eventually find TRP (yes, talking about myself). Or ... she starts improving herself and her naive boyfriend/husband cheers and encourages her ... why wouldn't he, he's getting hotter woman for himself, right, RIGHT? And then happens what happened in OP, he went from c) straight into a). If your wife is fat and you'd like her to lose weight and improve her looks - think twice. Start from yourself and what'll happen with the SMV difference and how much in that case you'll have to improve yourself in order to maintain or better yet, increase the difference. But never forget the attraction mechanic outlined above.

[–]1Dev_on1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

[–][deleted] 65 points66 points [recovered] (47 children) | Copy Link

Actually I think a lot of guys would, if they were married, and the sex life was good. That's the difference between men and women. A women would eventually become repulsed by her much lower man and hamster out a way to have an affair. "I'm not happy"

[–]Senior ContributorDemonspawn52 points53 points  (6 children) | Copy Link

Both men and women desire the best in their mates, but women have hard hypergamy while men are much more elastic.

A woman who is a 6 won't date a 5 man, would begrudgingly accept a 6 man, and craves 7+

Men who are 6 would date anyone 4 and above.

What this means is if we have a pairing of a 6 man and a 6 woman and the woman increases her SMV, expect that relationship to end. But if the man increases his SMV the relationship is stable unless he increases his SMV significantly.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (4 children) | Copy Link

It seems like most of the time, even if a woman has the perfect man she wants, shes still not happy. And often sabotages the relationship anyway.

[–]Ninja_Yewnicorn9 points10 points  (3 children) | Copy Link

As a healthy woman, I've noticed that this is far more common in my female friends who arent emotionally mature or have self esteem issues. I don't intentionally sabotage my relationships. I end them when I lose attraction, which is usually fairly quick with most men.

Tbh, I'm only available for a man who swallowed TRP. Lots of guys out there are beta, but don't show it til the facade becomes too hard to keep up and their true nature shines through.

You're talking SMV right and not general physical attractiveness? Because I would say it is VERY rare for a physically attractive man to date an unattractive woman while it is VERY COMMON for an attractive woman to date a physically unattractive man. Probably 15 years ago I saw a "documentary" (of the same vein mtv cribs is a documentary) on Supermodel Husbands. All of them except maybe one fit a profile. They kept in reasonable shape, but were not especially fit. They were quite a bit older. They were not attractive and many were balding. They were exceptionally good at some thing. One was an incredible architect, another was a groundbreaking surgeon, another was a CEO of an engineering firm he started. I don't remember the rest, but the theme was consistent. The other thing I noticed was that all of them were incredibly calm and genuinely indifferent to the "world famous supermodel" status of their wife.

[–]TheSKSpecial47 points48 points  (19 children) | Copy Link

Men cheat physically, women cheat physically, mentally, and emotionally.

A man will have an affair because he wants to fuck another woman; he does it and goes back to his wife, he doesn't love the other woman he's fucked.

A woman will have an affair because she wants a whole new relationship; she'll fuck another man, fall in love with him, and then end her marriage to be with the man she's cheating with.

True but the main reason is the laws PAY the woman to end her marriage and severely penalize the man for the same exact thing.

[–]TheSKSpecial18 points19 points  (13 children) | Copy Link

Even when it was more socially acceptable for men to cheat and women didn't get cash and prizes for divorce they rarely left their wives for their mistresses. The wife just had an understanding that if something happened when he was "out on business" or what have you that as long as came home to her at the end of the day, didn't be out in public with the mistress (socially shaming the wife), and didn't get her pregnant (taking some of his resources from the wife) it wasn't an issue. Hell, a lot of athletes, musicians and such today still have that unwritten agreement that "whatever happens on the road, stays on the road". Men don't branch-swing.

Women and men bond differently when it comes to sex. Even in LTRs, where women don't win cash and prizes for divorce they're more likely to branch-swing than just cheat for sex.

That's my point. You weren't just considering getting sex from somebody else but staying in the relationship you had, you were going to end the relationship completely.

The rest of your post kind of misses my point. People cheat because they want more or hotter sex, yes. But men cheat to get the hotter sex but still love and want to stay with their wives. Women cheat to get the hotter sex and don't want to come back.

My fiance gets turned on by me being in charge. I get laid as often as I want and she, in turn, gets turned on knowing that she's wanted. Neither of us have to look outside for sex so why would we? At the same time I know that I have to maintain frame, keep asserting my authority in the relationship, remain Alpha because I know that if I get lazy and complacent then I run the risk of losing SMV and hence her. So, she encourages me to be the man she can be proud of and in return I get a woman devoted to me. As trade offs go, I think it works well for both of us.

[–]SupALupRT-3 points-2 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

i think that is a pretty naive statement. I guess this doesn't fit the RP narrative that men are good,honest, loyal at all times and women are shit.

[–]TheSKSpecial2 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

If that's what you believe about TRP you haven't read the sidebar. The TRP 'narrative' is pointing out behaviors. Saying 'women love opportunistically and are loyal not to a man but what he can do for them' isn't saying 'women are shit'. It's just making an observation on female behavior. You made the connection in your head that "not being loyal" = "shit".

Whatever moral and emotional attachment you put to those observations are your own. TRP isn't about 'good' or 'bad', it's just about what is.

[–]teeelo0 points1 point  (14 children) | Copy Link

Disagree completely. Men are generally pretty loyal. It's something thats ingrained in us. Yeah we cheat too, but as a whole hypergamy seems stronger in women. I wouldn't go as far to say, "its bound to happen."

Men are generally pretty loyal.

I don't understand this, all my uncles cheated on their wives frequently, most of the guys I worked in manual labor (low education) cheated, former bosses cheated, two of my three best friends cheated and even a lot of educated college guys in a software companies that I worked have cheated or would talk like they are ready to fuck anything that would give them the chance.

I think it comes down to how much action you are getting from home. As I took the red pill, and upgraded myself, I've had several "tests". Hot babe wanting me to go over to her house alone with her to "fix" something. Not only is the urge there, but you get offers too. It messes with your mind, especially if it's top shelf stuff.

I doubt she'll be able to stay thin (if she ever got actually thin).

Most likely she'll get boned by some alphas, get complacent, quit the gym (sex is more fun!!!) and gain it back and some more.

Or she'll binge eat against the emotional roller-coaster ride of getting pump&dumped, get depressed and again gain it back and some more.

EDIT:

When we talked on the phone at night I would ask if she had done her exercise routine that day, if she hadn't I wouldn't say anything else. We went out to eat I didn't say anything about what she would eat, at first there were a few times where if she wanted to get dessert I was say "Are you sure?" but her decision was her own I wanted her to be her own person I loved her regardless.

Yeah, she's not going to keep that up without him in the picture.

[–]ecrvnr1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

This is for a simple reason. I've always said it, love and sex can't really be separated. My (now ex) gf told me after three years that she wasn't very enthusiastic about sex because I was quite out of shape, but still wanted to be with me because of my personality and so on (you get the idea).
I was quite Blue Pill at the time so I was shocked that a Nice Guy such as myself would be denied sex eventhough the rest of our relationship was fine.
Anyway, I dumped her, lost 15kg (about 5 more to lose before I start hitting the gym) and realized that no matter what you do, your relationship will never be good if you're not on par with your SO in terms of physical fitness / attractiveness, and it will never be good if your sex life is not good.

[–]SeekingTheWay0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Totally happened to me. My last ex was an unpopular duckling crushed after the last breakup. I deliberately worked on her self-esteem to the point of all her friends telling me how she blossomed with me. This resulted in far more action in bed since she believed in herself, but also developed her a fan-club in our social group resulting in her leaving me for one of the guys from it after 2 years of LTR and one year living together.

But the logic is obvious - I let myself loose and didn't work on myself, I was nice to her, no dread at all, etc.

Two things.

1) Many people have a misunderstanding of what TRP is. Just go visit another board and you will be shocked at how little understanding there is regarding our culture.

2) I've had this happen to me, not due to weight, but essentially due to social circle. Last ex had low self-esteem and was pretty shy, my constant BP affirmation gave her a big ego(plus she was actually a looker and relatively smart) and she dumped be because she could "do better".

Last I saw she was dating some fat redneck guy who either waits tables or cooks for a shitty downtown restaurant. Funny how "doing better" works.

LOL a plate told me something very similar a few days ago. I haven't seen her much at all since before summer, and apparently she put a lot of effort into losing some weight. She looks much better and is really dedicated.

We had a few glasses of wine and talked some. Now, I used to consider this girl somewhat unique. She isn't stupid, uninteresting nor unambitious like most girls I've met. I really thought she was different. When your unicorn dies, you truly realize AWALT.

Put some alchol into her and it was like she unleashed all these Red Pill axioms that she didn't bother "hiding" anymore. #TheTrueNoFilter

It's one thing to understand and accept TRP, it's something else completely to fully internalize it.

"and women don't stick around with chumps who suddenly end up with lesser SMV than themselves, regardless of the circumstances."

Honestly, I sometimes wonder if the only reason we don't have a 100% divorce rate is because women's SMV declines faster than men's SMV with age. If men still thought 40+yo women were bangable, I don't think the institution of marriage could survive. I also wonder if women's fast gaining of weight and fast aging is actually an intentional evolutionary tactic to force women to stop riding the cock carousel after a certain point and focus on her family and kids instead.

Guys, her dumping him has nothing to do with her becoming more attractive. She dumped him because she can do better than be with a guy who has the gall to imply that she lose weight. If he doesn't think cream his pants when she's at her fattest, he doesn't deserve her at her sexiest.

[–]voodoobunny77 1 points1 points [recovered] | Copy Link

I honestly don't know why he would have cared in the first place. Ex got fat, who cares.... Why would he even talk to her again, everybody is solely responsible for his/her body. Who the fuck cares about others people body, beside the girl you are actually fucking.

[–]Jackmace0 points1 point [recovered] (1 child) | Copy Link

No, you misunderstood it. She was fat when he was dating her then when she got skinny she cheated and then left him.

But it's hilarious how this dude who helped her become a better person is now getting tossed to the curb for better men (hypergamy) after he sacrificed his own time and resources to make her a better person.

I'd totally do that but then again I'm an omega so w/e

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (10 children) | Copy Link

Well, what are you doing to fix that?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (9 children) | Copy Link

I'm trying to get into running right now (because I can't afford a gym - I'm really poor because I'm a jobless uni student) and maybe lifting if I can save up the money for the gym.

Although girls are really the topic that depresses me the most I can't put all that much effort into those things because I need to stop failing uni and find a job first.

Do not pedalstool woman. They are not a prize, they are an accessory to the awesome life known as yours. Do not concern them, do things for yourself. Focus on your studies, do you enjoy what you're doing? Do you see yourself in that field of work? Be social with everyone, join a club at uni of your interest. You will find like-minded people, both male and female and just shoot the shit with them.

Everyone here advocates lifting because it raises your smv multiple ways. The most obvious being looks, but it also makes you feel good. Using your muscles is a natural, primal thing that release endorphins that give you a sense of satisfaction.

[–]TheSKSpecial1 point2 points  (3 children) | Copy Link

Do bodyweight exercises. Pushups, dips, planks, squats, etc. You can start building muscle without a gym.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (2 children) | Copy Link

I can barely lie down in my room, sports not exactly a good option =P

What's a trade job? As in store clerk? I've been looking for those but my city is like 50% uni students so those jobs are very are :P

I'll stick with running for now. It'll give me a little endurance and I'll get the routine to actually go to the gym in regular intervals when I do decide to go.

[–]TheSKSpecial0 points1 point  (1 child) | Copy Link

You can do pushups, situps, planks, squats literally anywhere there's solid ground. Hell, do them on the kitchen floor. Or in the hallway outside your dorm. You can do dips using a chair or a bench.

Running is OK, but unless you're a lardass it's not going to improve you aesthetically. You are a lot more attractive physically with some muscle on your frame than with a skinny runner's build.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Yup, I'll definetly switch to lifting at some point! I just don't want to waste money on a gym subscription if I fall into depression again next week ... I first need to learn how to do sports despite feeling like shit.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (3 children) | Copy Link

If it were me, I'd go with sprinting over "normal" running.

Does your university have a gym? If not, local gyms will typically give discounts to students. Worst case scenario, go to a playground and you can do a body-weight routine for free - pull ups, dips, etc. Also, what are your goals for working out?

On that note, if you can't get a job in your field of study, consider a physical or trade job. You'll earn some money, meet some people, learn a useful skill, and get to move around more.

Screw girls - put them out of your mind for a few months. I'm not just saying it either - I've done monk mode myself and the results were great. I'm in an LTR now and everything is going well, but I often miss the monk mode days where I could just focus on myself and had no responsibilities other than my own life. If you want someone to talk to about exercise, diet, or just life, feel free to PM me.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children) | Copy Link

Yea, I'm trying very hard to put girls to the back of my mind right now but I've been lonely basically since I hit puberty ... Kind of feels like I'm past the "breaking point".

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

In that case instead of worrying about women, try to divert your energy into stuff you like - hobbies, gym, career, studies, friends, etc. If you're in a slump, then learn something new - your brain releases anti-depressants when you recruit new neural stem cells. It will help if the new stuff that you learn is related to increasing your SMV - dancing, art, whatever. Unfortunately, there's no easy solution, but I can tell you that most people in TRP are not here because life has been completely easy for them.

Society teaches us that such a loving, selfless act will endear a woman to you forever and make her love you.

Well, to be honest, "encouraging your (overweight) girlfriend to lose weight" isn't exactly selfless and, unless you were her personal trainer, or paid for her gym membership, or made her a nutrition plan, or paid for high quality ingredients, or prepared her meals etc., wasn't even an effort for you.

[–]SupALupRT-4 points-3 points  (12 children) | Copy Link

I dont understand why ppl bitch about girls for this stuff. Why do people think its ok to not be constantly improving themselves and growing? What is attractive about no gumption? People need to look at it as a positive motivator to keep bettering themselves so they are always the prize.

[–]TheSKSpecial6 points7 points  (8 children) | Copy Link

You missed the point. The anger isn't that she improved herself, it's that she improved herself because of his efforts, and she cheated on him as thanks.

Scorpion and frog analogy applies here, but it's still a harsh thing to see especially for guys either unaware or just learning about RP theory.

[–]Endorsed ContributorFLFTW164 points5 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

I'd say it goes even deeper than that. Women are so into their own bullshit narrative about true love and commitment. They pretend to be the more emotionally deep sex when in reality they are more shallow and untrustworthy. It's the difference between what they claim to believe in, and their actions that reveal feminine hypocrisy. All good men loathe hypocrites.

[–]rednukleus 0 points0 points [recovered] | Copy Link

No. Losing weight was >99% her effort not his. Couples break up. Cheating is wrong, she shouldn't have done that, but she did not owe him to remain as his girlfriend.. You never think you can do better when you're dating a girl?

[–]TheSKSpecial2 points3 points [recovered] (4 children) | Copy Link

He was pushing her towards losing weight, she wouldn't have done it if it wasn't for him. Yes she did the work, but he was the one who set her in motion. If you give me money as a gift to start a business, I become successful, and refuse to give you anything afterwards, you're going to feel a bit betrayed. Though I technically don't owe you anything, it was your money that got me started on my path to success.

You never think you can do better when you're dating a girl?

Irrelevant. She didn't think she could do better until after he got her to lose weight.

But personally, if the girl had pushed me into doing something that improved my life, I wouldn't turn around and cheat on her. Matter of fact, a girl that wants to help me improve might be one worth keeping around, if only because she's shown some sense of altruism instead of hamstering up a reason to cheat and leave.

[–]rednukleus2 points3 points  (3 children) | Copy Link

Yeah she did turn around and cheat on him which is very low. She used him as a stepping stone. You're right man.

[–]TheSKSpecial1 point2 points  (2 children) | Copy Link

Technically you're right too. She really doesn't owe him to stay. It's just a morally shitty move to turn around and cheat.

[–]rednukleus0 points1 point  (1 child) | Copy Link

Yeah absolutely. Why did I find myself defending her?

[–]TheSKSpecial0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

White knight reflex? It happens sometimes. You find yourself defending a girl because she's a girl who you think is helpless, instead of seeing her as a person who just maybe deserves whatever shit she's getting.

Don't worry, spend more time here and you'll begin to see women as flawed and fucked up as everyone else, and then you'll lose that urge to defend them just because they have vaginas and begin to evaluate them on the basis of their character and actions the way you do men.

[–]SupALupRT-1 points0 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Did he run for her? Did he ACTUALLY cut back on the bad foods for her? He said words. Forgive me if I dont think she should drop to her knees and suck his dick for that.

[–]rednukleus 1 points1 points [recovered] | Copy Link

I totally agree. The fact that you are downvoted shows that guys here don't just want to learn about the battle of the sexes, they want to pretend like women ought to stop being competitive in the dating game too. "Hey that's not fair!" Yes morons that's the fundamental point. That's the way it should be. Dating is a competition to keep a person interested, not a game of happy and fair agreements to love each other forever. Love has to come from continued sexual interest, it doesn't last otherwise when we are young.

[–]SupALupRT0 points1 point [recovered] (0 children) | Copy Link

Yeah I know man but...some RPers vote from the feels I guess.

[–]SupALupRT-1 points0 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

wow downvotes? Come on guys you are better than that. Quit voting from your feels. You're RP men remember?

[–][deleted] -14 points-13 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

"This meme is irrefutable proof of our life philosophy!" God you people are broken.

[–]ModMachiavellianRed[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Not as broken as your ability to think critically.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
