How are your guys' texting game? Personally, I don't seem to be very good at it. I only message a girl when somethings going on to invite them to. I find texting as enjoyable as watching paint dry, but my lack of enthusiasm seems to be hurting my texting game.

To each their own, but @TiberiusBravo87 offers solid advice here. The only time I engage in any remote contact with a female, is by phone to arrange the date and to let her know of any last minute changes affecting that date. I don't bother with it myself beyond that and don't generally recommend it, unless your chief and only goal is sport f_cking.

I've found doing anything else prompts some females to try and strike up conversations with me when they're idle, or bored. It occurred with such frequency along with phone text spammers that I ditched my phone and canceled my service because dealing with it was just frustratingly tedious. As a benefit, it's forced me to be very disciplined regarding my general communications, particularly with females. However, as I mentioned earlier, this advice can be freely dismissed if your goal with chicks is only to sport f_ck.

I'm also at that point where I come here for higher level conversations instead of the base subject TRP started off with. Redpilled men are much better conversation than men like that redditor that got raped on Fox news live. I've soaked in TRP principles to the point that women are not a problem in life, so what else to talk about? Well, other stuff. Every now and then I'll still post something highlighting the absurd behavior women display nowadays because it can be fun conversation.

Onto topic, Samurai were also documented having gay sex in ancient times. Shudo was considered by many to be practically a form of gay marriage. Nanshoku translated as "male colors" was a term used by the Japanese to refer to a relationship between an older and younger male. Apparently notable warlords like Nobunaga and Shingen had male "mistresses" or a stable of sex-boys. Crazy.

I don't care who started the whole cycle of degeneracy, I'm more interested in what conditions cause men to begin such behaviors. Something has happened in certain places where guys start preferring unsafe butt-sex (back then no lube and not as cleanly, so UTI's were likely common and it was likely a painful affair) instead of just banging it out with their women. Our culture has changed quite a bit each decade, it's not too far out there to assume old cultures like in Japan or Egypt also had fluctuations like this. Did the the women get shitty during some cultural cycles like what we see today? Maybe back then men were too busy to tolerate a miserable housewife or unappreciative mistress? Perhaps it's as simple as women were not as fun to be around at some points in history because they were saddled with lots of kids and chores so became bitchy? Or were they always just not great company? These are questions lost to time.

"War. War never changes..." And the pattern of civilization decline is pretty clear. Once a civilizations political elite transition the nation from a Kingdom, or Republic, to an empire ruled by oligarchs jockeying for dominance, the die is cast. Once the merchants and bankers transition the economy to mercantilism, the trap is sprung. Once the populace is sufficiently demoralized, it's fate is sealed. By the time the populace fully realize what has occurred and what is still happening, they will have to accept that it's too late to prevent the decline, and the dissolution of the state, but then that's the point as all collapses and declines are engineered. The best one can do is understand what is happening, why it's happening, share that understanding with those they care about, plan ahead of it and be prepared for when it eventually strikes.

As for the discussions, I agree that TRP's one of the few places we can do that when we reach a point of confidence in dealing with women, but you particularly seem to like debates. I know you've got a wife and kid, but I wonder if you've looked on meetup dot com to see if there are debate clubs in your area for adults.
