I'm aware of all of the redpill/MGTOW stuff. However, the book that was enlightening to me was by Dr. Robert Glover - No More Mr Nice Guy. He is a Ph.D in Marriage and Family Therapy. My mom was narcisistic and my father died pre-maturely. Had a lot of resentment, anger, frustration growing up. I'm well versed with human psychology/psychiatry. I'm a free loving spirit, in the moment type of person which is why I have great short term relationships with latinas which always end up in a crazy mess. I have naturally high EQ but I've found I have to 'act' a lot of the times probably because I hit a lot of criteria for NPD, ASPD.
Thanks dude. I will checkout.
I was beta to the max as a teen. Raised to be a nice boy. Father was in the picture fortunately. I think when you are taught of women being one way and then you have a reality check as in seeing something entirely different it's a mind fuck.
For instance, a woman saying not like that but getting destroyed by a train if men. Kitten for a certain man and a cunt to others. States the type of guy she wants vs men she gets banged by.
I once picked up a girl that later went on a tangent about being content 8f she was a mom and the guy wasn't in the picture. Obviously I lost her # and sometime later in comes the drunk dial. Lesser men easily manipulated would come running. Do not want.
It's a cold world man. I never would have believed it in my teens that women would jump off one dick as booty call and side piece and onto the next one. I wouldn't believe married women would fuck around on their houseband or making him into a cuck. I remember inbox msgs from married women asking me over for "coffee" or watch a movie. My mind is blown and my guard is up.
This sums up my opinion on relationships. They come and go, enjoy it while it lasts.
Yeah. I think some people can enjoy a lasting relationship and others cannot. I feel like I evolved past a certain way of looking at the world. Tinder is a meat house. I think social engineering has placed so much value on women and sex appeal/SMV whereby, reading a book and development of character is negated most times.
Why care? More dudes are around the corner. Free dinners and drinks, free ride, and never a call out. One days it's just over. Can't get the ring. Must date down.
A girl I met at a bar was a bartender and student. I called her out of her being bad at her job. She wrote her # on my bill. We went out. I started seeing her casually. She was a space cadet. Head in clouds. Be glued to her phone and you she is trying to reel dudes. It's whatever. Not my girl. Not her man. Just smash. Start seeing another girl and I drop her even after I agreed to plans. She rages. "Nobody does that to her" lol
Years laters, here she us single white mom with baby + 80lbs heavier. Her social media reeks of victimhood tangents that men are evil. It's comical.
I dunno your take on dating. I extend the olive branch and proceed with or without.
