The Red Pill: Discussion of sexual strategy in a culture increasingly lacking a positive identity for men.
@Quo210 children absolutely need a mother. There's no way to circumvent that, in the human species, when we're talking about 2rposuxing mentally stable individuals.
And that's the problem with current capitalism (among others): it turns women into a performative kind of man, ending up with just a resource wasting automaton, as you describe.
@adam-l Current generation of women are just low-quality biomass that won't work at the same level, won't reproduce and will drain resources, ideally can be repurposed for something else in the future, but right now every man out there should be pushing for the tech to get proto-uterus machines going.
Once you don't need women for reproduction the main burden of current society goes out of the window.
Edit:
fund all the expenses of women *employees who want abortions
He lost me there when he went against abortions for lowering the fertility rate.
I believe there can be a middle ground between the pro- and against- camps, here.
Politics-wise, you first produce women capable of raising children, then you have them have children. It's evident that most contemporary women are permanently damaged with regards to their capacity to raise a mentally healthy child. Totally unfit.
Aborting the fetus is, (let's say), the lesser evil.

I listened to this while commuting yesterday. I don't recall ever laughing so hard at a Rollo video. That Jasmine Jafar woman is an ignorant idiot.
(Rollo did fuck up by saying Elon would run for President; he wasn't born in the US and so can't. )

@polishknight even before Red Pill, I never understood sending money to strangers who begged on the internet. Fuck, most RL panhandlers just take their cash to buy lotto tickets, drugs, and/or booze.
Update. WTF? A pretty woman got a 70% like rating while an absolute Chad (from Ukraine, hehehe) got only 2%, repeat, 2% likes from women.
I begin to wonder if modern women have been so drowned with validation, feminism, etc. that they've become ambivalent and asexual?
For your amusement, a guy playing with Tinder scammers but also commentary on the state of Tinder. I pity these thirsty men. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHK8GAtmrVA

Women Leave for Happiness — What If I’m the Unhappy One?
I’ve been married 15 years. Good career(6 figs), stay in shape, live with intention. I realized that I’ve been slowly shrinking to fit inside my wifes comfort zone. Sacrificing myself to try to make her happy by doing what i thought i was supposed to (provide/protect/etc), but....i dont get really anything in return.
My wife is a good woman in the traditional sense — cooks, cleans, caring and loyal. But emotionally, nada. She’s avoidant, defensive and resists everything outside her comfort zone. No hobbies, no curiosity, no willingness.
She says she’s “content but not happy.” I feel obligation, loyalty, and compassion… but no spark, no partnership, no real life together beyond logistics and chores.
Here’s the part I’m wrestling with:
Red Pill talks a lot about women leaving men “because they weren’t happy” — and how men get blindsided. So what happens when I’m the one who isn’t happy? Am I doing the same thing, just in reverse?
I’m not blaming her for everything. I own my mistakes, but she is "dismissive-avoidant".
I’m at the point where separation feels like the only path but part of me wonders if I’m falling into the same trap RP warns about-- chasing “happiness.”
I’m not chasing excitement. I’m chasing a partner who actually engages.
So here’s my question to this community:
How do you tell the difference between:
“I’m unhappy, so I’m leaving” (the thing men get burned by) vs “The relationship has hit a dead end because we’re fundamentally incompatible in growth, effort, and emotional connection.”

Except… I’m not chasing excitement or novelty. I’m chasing life. Growth. A partner who actually engages.

I’m trying to avoid cope. I want clarity if this all on me, a natural mismatch, or a necessary hard decision. Friends say, leave & be happy. Maybe I need to man up?
Plan to separate around new year, if not sooner.
I don't disagree with the idea that it's not any mans responsibility to be the source or well spring of happiness in another persons life. Happiness is temporary, fleeting, that's why we value it so much. If she's otherwise content in her relationship with you, you're doing awesome as far as any guys would be concerned. I can only hope that in the litany of questions you've given your wife over the years after noticing her unhappiness, it has helped you to discern if her feelings are purely coincidental to occurring in the marriage, or explicitly due to it. Once you pull the trigger, it will be a very challenging thing for obvious reasons to undo should you change your mind. However, when everything is said and done you don't need our permission or approval with what you're about to initiate.
Whether you do or not, consider investing into a reliable ready reference you can pick up and study to better prepare yourself for engaging the opposite sex. I'd suggest that you get yourself a copy of Doc Love's "The System: The Dating Dictionary". Doc Love, who until his passing was also known as Tom Hodges, wrote a weekly advice column that's archive is mirrored on several mens focused sites and a podcast. His media is a bit pricey, but it's a solid foundation a guy can branch out from in RP aware circles. I'd suggest you review his advice column to decide if his view on dating and relationships is aligned with what you aspire for yourself. To save yourself a search, give this scribed link a gander to find out if his #book is something you'd like to add to your library. It should also be available on libgen.
