lawlThey already gave their advice. It was "Seek the services of a mental health professional." Antarius is never going to be happy with any relationship until he gets over his underlying issues, and hopefully a therapist can help with that.

Ah, a mental health professional. "Hi, I'm suffering from depression due to involuntary celibacy." "That's too bad. Here's a scrip for some happy pills. Those plus several hundred hours of talk therapy at $300 per hour and you should be right as rain."They already gave their advice. It was "Seek the services of a mental health professional."

Sleeping? She's on her knees getting banged doggy style.This is my favourite.

I'm actually pretty happy with the results that I've been getting. At first I wasn't, but I've been doing better. It's possible to improve. That's why I'm "advocating" for the redpill.They already gave their advice. It was "Seek the services of a mental health professional."

Oh. Well. And here I was thinking you were acting like a sociopathSleeping? She's on her knees getting banged doggy style.

I will bite.So, if you guys don't like the redpilladvice for Antarius, rather than attacking him, what would be your advice?
He isn't suffering from involuntary celibacy. He is suffering from manic control issues. He is advocating redpillnon stop and claiming he is happy with the results and yet still has to pay for sex on the side. You are thinking to yourself "self, isn't that sex addiction, not a control issue?". It isn't, he needs to ensure that a woman is never in a place to hurt him again. He has to be in full control of it all. He controls it by never letting it get far and deluding himself into thinking he won because "had sex".Ah, a mental health professional.

Why the fuck are you even in this thread? If we needed advice on how to pick up nasty bulldykes, fuck up the education system, or clean our dildo collections we'd send up the Mist Signal. Get your tuna-flavored piehole the fuck out of here.

I watched Silence of the Lambs last night. Buffalo Bill wasn't a transsexual according to Hannibal, he just hated who he was so he assumed he needed to change that into a woman. In reality he was fine as a man if he would have confronted his real problems head on. Antarius probably could offer a lot into a relationship if he got over his confidence and control issues.
I think I will leave, because any thread where me and a_skeleton_03 are on the same side kinda makes me want to hurl.Ah, a mental health professional.

Hehe I was about to mention that if you, Zyyzyzyzyyxxy, and myself are on the same sheet of music .....I think I will leave, because any thread where me and a_skeleton_03 are on the same side kinda makes me want to hurl.
EDIT: Just kidding. I really have nothing else to do with my life whilst resting between whatever sisyphean tasks my mother comes up with. Seriously, it's this or Diablo.
That's not nausea, those are butterflies in your tummy. There's just something about that stupid a_skeleton_03.I think I will leave, because any thread where me and a_skeleton_03 are on the same side kinda makes me want to hurl.
I have an endearing chewy center deep inside me I don't let out in the politics thread.That's not nausea, those are butterflies in your tummy. There's just something about that stupid a_skeleton_03.
Tsundere Mist is best Mist.
I'll try and gussy up my descriptions just for you.Not to mention his sterile descriptions of social interactions and his weirdly specific and mechanical reasons for the physical changes he makes
You're saying because I have control issues, I should place additional artificial constraints on my relationships just to satisfy YOUR control needs?Date, a lot. For the next 6 months you are going to pick up as many chicks as possible. You are going to browse websites, go to bars, etc. You are going to date every chick in a 50 square mile radius if possible. You are going to take them on one date only and fuck none of them. If you need a release we discussed that earlier. What you are doing here is proving to yourself that "the pick up" and the relationship are not tied together at all. You are also proving to yourself that you are a good looking man who can in reality date whomever he wants. We are looking for more than just sex though. We are looking for a life, a relationship. You are going to see every kind of woman out there. I want you to keep statistics if it amuses you. Redheads, blondes, goth chicks, whatever you can do to quantify them. You are going to write down at the end 10 pros and 10 cons to that woman that you can spot. Insecurity, potential unfaithfulness, not a light bulb on upstairs, stupid ugly ears, these are both external and internal as far as you can tell. What you are doing is developing a sense for picking a good relationship material girl. Cross reference these pros and cons with her dating profile. Spot the keywords she abused or topics she blatantly tiptoed around now that you know her as a person.
Wrong, until I curbed my confidence, saw the reality of my situation, and took control of my life. I could not offer ANYTHING to a relationship, because I was not HAVING relationships. Women were not interested in dating me before, despite me wanting to date them. That is the textbook definition of "incel"Antarius probably could offer a lot into a relationship if he got over his confidence and control issues.
and:I will have to use virginity statistics as a proxy for the harder-to-measure romancelessness statistics, but these are bad enough. In high school each extra IQ point above average increases chances of male virginity by about 3%. 35% of MIT grad students have never had sex, compared to only 13% of the average high school population. Compared with virgins, men with more sexual experience are likely to drink more alcohol, attend church less, and have a criminal history. A Dr. Beaver (nominative determinism again!) was able to predict number of sexual partners pretty well using a scale with such delightful items as "have you been in a gang", "have you used a weapon in a fight", et cetera. An analysis of the psychometric Big Five consistently find that high levels of disagreeableness predict high sexual success in both men and women.
Personal virtue is not very well correlated with ease of finding a soulmate. It may be only slightly correlated, uncorrelated, or even anti-correlated in different situations. Even smart people who want various virtues in a soulmate usually use them as a rule-out criterion, rather than a rule-in criterion - that is, given someone whom they are already attracted to, they will eliminate him if he does not have those virtues. The rule-in criterion that makes you attractive to people is mysterious and mostly orthogonal to virtue. This is true both in men and women, but in different ways. Male attractiveness seems to depend on things like a kind of social skills which is not necessarily the same kind of social skills people who want to teach you social skills will teach, testosterone level, social status, and whatever you call the ability to just ask someone out, consequences be damned. These can be obtained in very many different ways that are partly within your control, but they are complicated and subtle and if you naively aim for cliched versions of the terms you will fail. There is a lot of good discussion about how to get these things. Here is a list of resources that might be able to help you.
Can you fucking read Dondorian? He is antisocial and a narcissist. It's not about him hooking up with chicks.So, if you guys don't like the redpilladvice for Antarius, rather than attacking him, what would be your advice? The last few pages of this thread basically amount to "Antarius doesn't deserve to have sex with anyone, so fuck him for trying." That's basically what the old saw of "just be yourself" boils down to. Ok, I'm just going to be myself, but myself when I got that advice was fat, unattractive and uninteresting. So I should just keep on doing that, right? Doing what I always did got me what I always got. The other argument I've seen is that he should have recognized the lies being fed to him all along. He should have "just gotten it". So if you aren't able to discern the inconsistencies between what you are told and how people act, the lies being told to you by the media, your teachers, your family, the social pressure all around you, some of the very people you grew up to trust, then too fucking bad and go fuck yourself?
Say what you want about Antarius, but he went from involuntary celibacy to at least getting something. Yes he's not getting with models, but christ, was that ever in the cards for most guys? At least he's doing better than he was, and it seems like most people in this thread would have him sentenced to the hell that is depression and loneliness for the rest of his days.
It's Dondarrion, with an 'a' and two 'r's. Also, horrible, with an 'i'. Also I believe you're going for the word 'comprehension', unless you really were attacking my lack of brevity.Can you fucking read Dondorian? He is antisocial and a narcissist. It's not about him hooking up with chicks.
The night is dark and full of horrble reading compression.
People were coming up with reasons to mock and despise men who were sad about not being in relationships years before the manosphere even existed. These reasons were being posted on top feminist blogs for years without any reference whatsoever to the manosphere, probably because the people who wrote them were unaware of its existence or couldn't imagine what it could possibly have to do with this subject? Feminism - the movement that was doing all this with no help from the manosphere - has twenty times the eyeballs and twenty times the discourse-setting power as the manosphere. And Barry thinks this is the manosphere's fault? On the SSC "Things Feminists Should Not Be Able To Get Away With Blaming On The Manosphere" Scale, this is right up there with the postulated link between the men's rights movement and Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
TL;DRThe idea of deep genetic and personality differences between men and women is far too complicated to get into here, but I will say that if differences exist, I do not believe they are so great as to change fundamental human nature. For women just as well as men, for feminists just as well as manospherites, if you're a certain kind of person, making fun of people for being unattractive and unhappy is its own reward. Hence everything that has ever been said about "nice guys (TM)"
The only difference between the feminists and the manosphere here is that people call out the manosphere when they do it. But the feminists have their little Playmobil motte, so that's totally different!
And yes, this was written by an actual medical doctor, not a fiction book author.The moral of the story is that if you are maximally mean to innocent people, then eventually bad things will happen to you. First, because you have no room to punish people any more for actually hurting you. Second, because people will figure if they're doomed anyway, they can at least get the consolation of feeling like they're doing you some damage on their way down.
This seems to me to be the position that lonely men are in online. People will tell them they're evil misogynist rapists - as the articles above did - no matter what. In what is apparently shocking news to a lot of people, this makes them hurt and angry. As someone currently working on learning psychotherapy, I can confidently say that receiving a constant stream of hatred and put-downs throughout your most formative years can really screw you up. And so these people try to lash out at the people who are doing it to them, secure in the knowledge that there's no room left for people to hate them even more.
I'm not a good example of a person to follow, but hopefully putting myself out on this forum, there can get a few eyeballs of the guys that need it to where they need to be. It's a video game forum, I know I'm not the only one that can benefit from it.And suppose, in the depths of your Forever Alone misery, you make the mistake of asking why things are so unfair.
Well, then Jezebel says you are "a lonely dickwad who believes in a perverse social/sexual contract that promises access to women's bodies". XOJane says you are "an adult baby" who will "go into a school or a gym or another space heavily populated by women and open fire". Feminspire just says you are "an arrogant, egotistical, selfish douche bag".
And the manosphere says: "Excellent question, we've actually been wondering that ourselves, why don't you come over here and sit down with us and hear some of our convincing-sounding answers, which, incidentally, will also help solve your personal problems?"
