^ Good catch, GlobalMan. I never would have thought that what what I'm doing, but now you point it out, it's damn obvious. Back in my security days, I was the good natured guy concerned with de-escalating the situation: Good Cop. I guess I just followed on from that.
What's that old folk wisdom? You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar?
That being said, the problem with doing a Columbo is a tendency to overestimate your own cleverness. Always consider that someone could be doing it to you. I met my closest mate at a biker bar when the two girls we were chatting up went off to use the powder room, and he took a swig of beer, gave me a very curious look, and said "Yours is the best impersonation of sub-100 working class IQ I've ever seen." I never, ever would have guessed that someone was doing me better than me, which was a good learning experience.
OP: Note that this is a tactic to be used against your enemies, not friends, and only really for purposes of getting neutral observers on your side. Try and be genuine and direct on this forum. There's not a lot of Objective Truth in the wider world at the moment, so this forum can hold great value for Red Pill Men if we don't bullshit or play games with each other. There are men with solid knowledge in various fields of specialisation on here, and, as smart as I would like to think I am, I am humbled every day by the information and widsom guys drop on here. (Hell, I feel too much of an intellectual lightweight to even attempt to discuss NeoPlatonism with Quintus).

Good advice..I'm very straight forward and unapologetic when I criticize today's awful stock of women. People probably perceive it as bullying
Women will always read this as 'bitterness' and take it as social proof of your failure with women, even if you're jacked.
One subset of Blue Pill men will most likely think you're one of those arseholes who always gets the girl that they believe they deserve and is only with her because you somehow 'tricked' her.
The other subset will privately-and-furiously-agree with you, to a degree you find uncomfortably-misogynistic, but then publicly throw you under the bus when it suits them.
You will never convince any of the groups, and I'd suggest not investing too much emotion in changing the opinion of random people on message boards. It's time wasted where you could be improving your own life and situation.
Do you feel you're in the early days of the Red Pill and there's some residual bitterness towards women not being what you felt they should be? From what I've observed, it's most often paired with a need to sermonise to the masses from a place of enlightenment in order to 'save them' from themselves.
It's ok man, both urges will settle in time, and you'll find yourself in a more positive place, which should make your social interactions more efficient and ingratiating again.
