Consider the data presented here:

thread-72761.html

Men are having less sex, women have impossible expectations and are acting against nature, and the West is dying.

The following excellent explanations, written by other RVF members, as to the why of all this hit the nail on the head:

'So, I'm 40, very good looking and fit, and can tell you the problems. Speaking to many young guys, the #1 thing they tell me is after #metoo, most women are very risky to date. These kids are scared to put a move on. Also, none of these young kids make de ent money. Women dont want losers who still live with mommy at 28 years old. And lastly, the biggest problem is everyone staring at screens all day. I used to bed so many women by walking by them, just giving a smile, and saying good morning when in NYC walking to work. They would turn back, give me a huge smile, and I would ask her name. The rest is history. Today, it cant be done because women are either starting at screens while walking or wearing headphones. Flirtation is all but dead. It's really sad"

"Tinder and Instagram is absolute cancer for most men.

For the fun of it, I put on some older pics from me in my mid 20s, before Tinder, where I was at my prime and pulled one nighters regularly. I matched with only a couple of chicks and they were fat and old. What the hell happened since then? I can say with absolute certainty I would never touch those girls I matched with back then.

This is what Tinder is about? Losing 3-4 SMV points due to unchecked looks hypergamy and lack of physical presence.

What a shitty deal.

And then if you go out now, you're weird if you don't keep a carefully curated Instagram.

Tinder and Instagram was the death of men who didn't lead all that interesting lives, but never the less had some balls and physicality."

"Yes, many are downright hostile. Media plays a part in pushing anti-male tropes, as well as feminism. Combine with endless validation and boosted egos women get from social media you have really bad narcissism coming from women and lack of empathy. View it from their perspective though, men are doing the worst ever compared to women, so women are thus calling the shots now more than ever.

As I've said before it starts in education and by the time a man makes it to college he's already at a statistical disadvantage... Much less the workforce with affirmative action policies (not needed for women) and gynocentric HR departments. Not to mention managers prefer women doing these mindless clerical/ deskjobs to men, and when it comes to service jobs, again, they prefer women."

"Back in the day (07-09), I had a very direct style of game that worked for me at University and night clubs. My personality simply doesn't suit any style other than a very direct approach. Anything else is me being inauthentic

I can say that 'metoo' and the surrounding culture is making this direct approach hard to do.

I mean, I can do it, but do I want to risk being thrown out of department stores, malls, cafes because one cunt or white knight wants to make a scene/example?

This pressure has resigned a lot of men to 'play their position' on online dating- the position being, settle for an unpleasant woman usually a couple of points below you.

I really should stop thinking I can 'beat the matrix' and do a lot of direct daygame in Aus- should instead orient my life to being 100% location independent and getting the fuck outta here. One day I will be old and won't have the same opportunity to have a good 5-8 years gaming hard."

"Well, let's look at the reality on the ground:

1. The under 30 male crowd is filled with faggots and soyboys; raised by single moms, cucked daddys, and a anti-masculine culture.

2. The under 30 women are being encouraged to act on every selfish destructive impulse, hate men, and accuse them of rape for asking for a phone number.

3. The current US economic system essentially demands two-income households now to survive. Sole-provider family living is extremely tough to pull off in general but especially so for the under 30 crowd. It wasn't always like this.

4. The men have no balls and can't handle adversity; that's a dealbreaker for many women. The women are neurotic and disgusting with jelly rolls, tattoos, and retarded ass bullrings; that's a dealbreaker for many men.

Some women will put up with loser guys and some men will put up with fat fucks. But no one is truly happy deep down. So, the men have become repulsive to the women, the women have become repulsive to the men, and no one has enough money to have a traditional family assuming each gender even had something to offer to one another.

Unfortunately for young men, they can't aim for 30+ women since most 30+ women are mercenaries looking for a guy with who has his shit together. The under 30 women will tolerate a young broke man but not a soyboy faggot who is also broke. And then they, the few desirable ones, figure out Mr. Early 30's dude has money and masculine swag and that's a wrap for the young guy.

On the other hand, the environment for the young guys is so bad what's the motivation to even better yourself? Where's the pot of gold to work towards? 25 year old cumdumpster Becky and her bullring whom is ready to falsely accuse you of rape because she has regret sex?

You all shit on these guys for playing video games but at least Apex Legends doesn't get you bullshit felony domestic violence charges, thrown in a jail cell, permanent career damage, and a traumatized psyche.

The juice has to be worth the squeeze. It ain't. Not even close.

I don't have any easy answers to the problems.

-Make sole-provider living more affordable.
-Shame bad female behavior.
-Encourage young men to get their balls back.
-Fix the legal system; stop incentivizing people to blow up marriages.

Focus on the men who are salvageable; disavow the rest. Limited time and resources and all that. Some people are simply too far gone, both men and women. Maybe focus on the next generation (gen z), who are still somewhat malleable and see all this fucked up shit going on and give them some guidance. The biggest bullshit of it all is that this all could have been avoided. But decades ago, some men lost their damn way and now we got what we got.

That's OK though. As long as you're not six feet under, there is always a chance to turn it around.

I feel for the young dudes however... the whole goddamn house is just rotten and full of shit. It's gonna take a lot of work to unfuck this mess."

The way I see it the social engineering is clear: men are being pushed into becoming gays, cucks or sexless nerds and women into feminist lesbians and insufferable cunts by the culture and the media.
In the past, a woman acting as trashy as a girl of today would be rejected by everybody, and life´s mechanism of self correction would force her to straighten up.
This natural mechanism is bypassed nowadays by the illusion of validation brought by social media and dating apps, so a girl can act as shitty as she wants and the internet makes sure she gets celebrity treatment and free attention from pussy beggars.
On the other hand, a man focused on self development will be able to bang sluts, but won´t find a wife.

I think this sums up well what is happening in the West.
Even former pussy paradises like Brazil have been assimilated in the Matrix, and I hear the DR and Eastern Europe aren´t what they used to be.

We have some bright minds here at RVF, and I would like to discuss initiatives to disrupt the death Matrix.

In my view, if we find a way to neutralize the effects of social media and dating apps, perhaps through another technological initiative, we may be able to bring the system down.

People, on average, are way too short-sighted to collectively turn it around. Think about your individual exit plan, but don't count on everyone coming together and giving up their dopamine hitting activities and sexual freedom for the greater good. Change usually happens do to external pressures on a society, not because people shape up before the collapse. It's the nature of the world, and trying to fight the decay is no different than the people trying to redefine gender identities.

[Brother Abdul Majeed]

Worry less about what's happening to everybody else and concentrate on your own life. Whether or not society pulls it's collective head out of it's own asshole should be a secondary concern. Successful men will always be successful, even if they live in a village of fools. There's too much existentialism going on these days, even right here on this forum.

[Brazilianguy]

Don´t agree with you, man.
The way to neutralize social media´s grip may come as a simple app, website or whatever.
The key is making women who rely on SM to get their validation look like loser dorks who can´t get a man in real life, and in spreading this meme in the culture at large.

Crave discomfort

Veloce, 2014:

thread-33867.html

Good to be back post 'prison-gate'. No harsh feelings toward Roosh or Tuth, who have both given so much positive change to so many guys. I needed a week off anyway as RVF has a bad way of affecting my productivity.

This post is gonna be all over the place. First off, let's talk about suits.

I'm embarrassed to admit that last night was the first night I've gamed suited down. Sure I've been out to dinners and special events suited down, but never to a bar to spit game. Over the years I've lost one suit and bought another ill-fitted suit that I recently gave away. And to be accurate, I still don't own a proper suit; I just recently bought a light summerweight blazer to go with some dark designer jeans. I've been reading http://www.masculine-style.com nonstop and heeding the advice. So what I have is a very upscale casual look. No sheen on the material, just a nice soft texture, the type of casual blazer I could wear 5 days a week.

I went out last night to meet a forum member. Friday night, downtown L.A., at Seven Grand. Anyone familiar with this scenario knows these are far from ideal hunting grounds. New dress shirt, blazer, dark jeans, vintage leather belt, leather boots. Fresh haircut. My game is rusty as shit. I have been lifting/exercising for the past 18 months and recently took up boxing which combined with hiking like mad, I've lost about 10 lbs in the past 6 weeks (after bulking up to 215 on Stronglifts). I'm a pretty lean 205, 6'3", getting an outline of a 6 pack but nowhere near the definition I'm looking for, however I think I've got a good V-taper developing and my posture is 1000x better than it ever has been. I'm saying all this as a background to what happened last night.

First off, when I parked and got out, the valet guy told me to just leave the car in front of the valet kiosk and take my keys with me. He had a huge grin on his face and said, "Just leave it in front boss!". I was parked smack dab in front of the venue, which is what valet guys usually do for Italian supercars and shit. Here I am with my '08 Altima being treated like a VIP. Dressing sharp definitely has perks beyond just girls.

Last night I got into the venue and it was 80% guys. "Oh great" I'm thinking, but whatever it was more about catching up with the forum member than anything. Before I can even find the guy, I'm outside on the patio and get a tap on my shoulder. A girl opened me and started asking me how tall I am blah blah blah. Some game comes back to me and I start teasing and giving vague responses. It hooks and she introduces me to her friends, one of which is hot with a beta orbiter. I find the forum member, he's with a damn hot girl and I tell my new friends I'll find them later.

I meet the hot girl's sister who is even hotter and surrounded by orbiters. Play it cool, tell her I thought about buying her a drink then decided against it (her expression was hilarious) and teased her for a bit. Over the night no less than 20 guys were showering her with attention. Few minutes later I get another tap on the shoulder. I get opened again by a couple girls. I'm thinking, "This is nuts. I'm in the middle of a sausagefest and I've been opened twice on a Friday night."

It happens again 15 minutes later. Terrible opener from some girl asking if I work at the bar and her stumbling to make conversation. She's a 6 at best and I cut her loose.

And then again 15 minutes later. This time a short, cute 20 year old USC student, 7, maybe 7.5. We're playing the 'guess my age' game and when I tell her to guess mine she leans in and whispers, "I think you're old enough to make out with me right now." Doesn't even make sense but I start chuckling and say, "Actually I'm a year older than that." and lean in and smash face. I give her a fake name and she volunteers her number to me. Gonna invite her over tomorrow or Monday, smash, and start pushing for threesome immediately.

If I had made any effort whatsoever I'm confident I could have gotten an SNL. The attention was insane. I would walk outside and there would be girls tapping on her friends shoulder to get her attention and pointing at me. I actually got a little shy at various points.

After last call I left with a couple numbers and a huge grin. Zero effort. This might actually be bad for my game, because hot girls don't approach so could I be happy with a buffet of 6s and 7s if it required zero effort?

The first point of all of this isn't to brag at all. I used to consider myself a decent dresser. I know now that I was wrong. I may have good designer clothes and good style, but in my mind there are only two ways to dress: Suited down, or not suited down. If you're not wearing a blazer, you're not living up to your potential. Granted this was just one night but the results were undeniable. The guys on the forum that go out suited down are probably reading this and thinking, "Yeah no shit dufus, that's what we've been saying all along."

This got me thinking about change. Every single change I've made over the last two years: lifting, boxing, languages, style, I can think to myself, "I should have started sooner"
I should have started lifting sooner
Should have started boxing sooner
Should have learned languages sooner
Should have gotten dress clothes sooner.

So why didn't I? Why was I so resistant to make positive change, and then once I DO it, I think, "I should have done this sooner."

Comfort. Identify that craving for comfort inside of you and destroy it. Limit yourself to comfort one day a week, like Sunday. Monday through Saturday, make yourself uncomfortable at the gym, in a language course, in a boxing ring, at the clothing store. This goes back to Roosh's post about Making Deposits vs. Making Withdrawals in the game of life. I spent a year doing approaches like mad and hit my limit pretty quickly. I got blown out a lot, and I'm not a bad looking guy. But the other factors weren't even remotely up to speed. Bad posture, skinnyfat, average style...

For the past year, and especially the past few months I've dropped out of the game and have been making very large deposits in the bank. Last night was just me testing the waters and the results were astounding.

For any guys just getting started, approaching is still the most important thing. Get 100 under your belt. 100 ain't shit. 100 gets you to the starting line. The real game is making these deposits. Invest in your physical body, your style, your posture.

Me, I'm going to keep going. Fuck approaches and going out 5 nights a week. I need to keep my lifts up and keep working on that heavy bag. I'm going to take this body to the limit and if 18 months have produced these results, I'm going another 18 and then another 18 after that. I want to come out on the other side a completely different person, a MAXIMIZED person.

Some guys are lucky and born with this shit, or are born into a trust fund, or born with superman genetics. Others have to work for it. I used to envy the former, but now I don't.

There's not a single thing that feels as good, or is as rewarding, as working for change and then seeing the results manifest themselves.


Be Happy Because You Stand Out Amongst the Victims of the Decline of Western Culture.

thread-51090.html

There’s no sugarcoating it (no pun intended); if you live in America, Canada, Western Europe or certain parts of Australia, your culture has evolved to influence (I would argue) the majority of those around you to be simply unappealing and unattractive. And the worst part: Anyone with a brain can tell you that what lies ahead in the future is even more hideous.

Now many will argue that this is none of your business. Who cares how others live their lives, it doesn’t affect you. It does. I could get into the nitty gritty of how obesity, homosexuality and other leftist propaganda negatively affects a society’s well-being in more ways than I can count on my hands, but today I want to specifically talk about why this is a problem for your game. Like it or not, we’re all strapped into the downward-sloping roller coaster that is society’s decline This never-ending ride puts a certain group of people at the biggest disadvantage, and that group consists of straight men with neomasculine characteristics who care enough about themselves to look good and have standards that aren’t somewhere within the confines of a toilet.

Regarding your game, like most things in the real world, there is both good and bad to this decline, but mostly bad. Let’s talk about it.

The Good

[Image: ae7d8199f043cab236dc14c26f1ae321af1ebabe...9e043b.jpg]

The gay movement has taken over, and it’s done more than what you may think to the male population.

A couple years ago, I met this guy on my floor who seemed very homosexual. I can’t put it in a nicer way - everything about him screamed “faggot”. The way he walked, the way he talked, the way he interacted with people. Well one day we walk past a room of cute women while one of them was bending over. I didn’t say anything because I didn’t want to make him feel uncomfortable, but he comes out and says that he “enjoyed the view”. I later figure out that yes, he is 100% straight. Many other men on my floor were very feminine as well, but through various “house talks” (college programs), I learned that they were straight men who desired women, most of them either having bad luck in that area or “happy” being tied down by a gross whale.

You see, it’s not just gay men, but also feminized pussies who claim they’re attracted to women. The obvious thing to say in this section is “our increasing-leftist society has made more men come out as gay or think they are gay, and that gets rid of some competition”, but I’d say that it’s more generally the fact that it’s molded very many men, both gay and straight, into a more feminized version of what they otherwise would be, making masculinity stand out more than what it ever has been. Dudes who are “on the prowl” for women do this with their gay voice, gay walk, gay clothes, and overall gay self. Western society is influencing many of your fellow men to be feminized and act gay. And then they wonder why attractive girls aren’t into them (an eventual problem, I figured out, with the same guy on my floor; he’s a nice guy).

Side note: How can you tell if someone has a gay voice? Over the last year, I’ve developed in my own head what I like to call ‘The Gay Voice Test’. It’s very simple: Imagine them saying “I’m gay” and “Oh my god, he’s so cute.” Does it sound believable? Does it sound authentic? There’s your answer.

Also, many men let themselves go. Toxic foods are today’s most abused drug. They taste good, and that’s enough for many men to let themselves look like a pig by stuffing themselves with shit. Laziness also attributes to men not exercising. If you care about what you eat and what you do with your body, this will stand out quick. Women will notice right away that you are a man that actually gives a shit about your own health enough to look good and stand out amongst the pudgy mess that makes up the majority of your fellow men. Self-respect also plays a big role in this.

[Image: 31f3b86c2ffef3bd_JONAHHILLScreen-shot-20....14-PM.jpg]
Perfect example of what I’m talking about. This is the modern man of Western cultures. Right away you can notice by his double chin that he doesn’t give a shit about what he eats or what he does with his body, but then has the confidence of a baby duckling when conversing with women and then wonders why they didn't seem interested. You also notice the gay clothes, the gay haircut, the gay body language, and *insert Jonah Hill’s voice here* the gay voice. This guy will not attract quality women, not by a longshot.

In short, the feminized society of today makes manly men stand out. Women are attracted to masculine, fit men. This is why you’ll never see feminine or grossly pudgy men with anyone attractive. There is a legitimate shortage of masculine men today for women, and deep down a lot of them know it and are quick to try and lock down actual men. Just by being yourself, being true to who you are as a man and not acting like a faggot and not letting yourself go, you will automatically stand out by a longshot amongst other men and be considered ‘above average’. Being a man with neomasculine characteristics will pay off.

The Bad

Women are affected by this too.

First off, more women today are becoming lesbians. Gullible women are tricked into thinking they like eating carpet more today compared to 10, 20, 30 years ago simply because of a growing leftist propaganda. SJWs want others to feel that they are not straight, that if you look deep within yourself you’ll realize that it’s a lot more complicated than that. If you’re an ugly loser who doesn’t get quality dick, make no attempt to improve your appearance, because that couldn’t possibly be the reason why. Obviously this is just the universe’s way of telling you you’re meant to be a lesbian. “Wow, that makes so much sense!” screams every gullible ugly western woman ever as she heads to Hot Topic for her carpet muncher starter pack. As a result, women who could otherwise pass as sexy end up embarrassing themselves by shooting through the heart and they’re to blame cause they give love a bad name.

[Image: 10_13_12_atlanta_pride_dyke_march_01_large.jpg]

Or however you want to word it, I’m just really feeling Bon Jovi today.

But a rising rate of conversion to Elena Kaganism isn’t even half of the problem. As I’ve stated in another thread, I strongly believe that more homosexual men exist in the western world compared to homosexual women simply because of the feminized nature of our new culture. So what’s the bigger issue with women? Well, it’s exactly that: the bigger issue.

Raise your hand if you want to bang these beautiful broads.

[Image: ALL_OF_ME_.JPG?1382612113]

What, no hands? Why ever not?

Western culture is influencing not just men, but women as well to shove toxic food down their chew holes and have no motivation to hit the gym. The way I see it, and in all reality this is how every man who is honest with himself sees it, a woman is as physically attractive as she appears to care about how she looks. Being a giant glob of fat with a face, two arms and two legs thrown somewhere on there brings you down to a flat 0 on a scale of honest attractiveness. There’s nothing sexy about blatant physical evidence of a woman’s history of neglect to care for her own body and her own self.

All this means fewer options for men to look out for in the world of playing the field, dating, and even looking for ‘the one’ later in life, if you end up making that decision. But one may say, “Don’t both sides even themselves out?” Both men and women have become gay, fat and unattractive as a result of our modern culture, so men aren’t at any more of a disadvantage as women, right?

Wrong. Here’s where it gets ugly.

The Ugly

Do me a favor: Open a new tab, go to YouTube, search “plus-size body”, “body confidence” or something similar and take note of any trends you see in the first page of video thumbnails. Go ahead, I can wait.

Notice a trend that sticks out?

All of the videos are of women.

There is a growing movement that gradually came about in the 90’s and early 2000’s but really took off about five years ago that involves fat women using videos and social media to justify their own pigliness to the world and encourage other women to settle for a future that involves being taken to your Aunt Judy’s family reunion in the back of a tow truck. And that’s the odd trend about this movement: it’s exclusively by women, for women. I’ve never seen a fat man behind a video camera or dancing on the streets of New York City making a fool out of himself trying to justify the fact that he’s a fat cow. It’s all women. Women are both the leaders and the followers of this pig-positive movement.

And one may wonder: Why is that? The more logical answer is something feminists and leftists would gasp at for being over-the-top and politically incorrect, but here it is: Generally-speaking, compared to women, men have shown to have different and more logical ways of responding to their own physical and emotional problems. Where a 20 and 30-something woman will pop five different kind of pills a day for her depression, men seek positive time investment in productive and meaningful hobbies. Where a woman will be suicidal after a break-up and then for the next few months slut around to replace the void that her ex-boyfriend left only to feel guilty, embarrassed and used afterwards, men will more quickly and calmly realize that they need to adapt and move on with their life in less of an extreme way. And where a fat woman will attempt to justify the fact that no quality man has wanted anything to do with her since her metabolism ran out after high school and she ballooned up and constantly assured herself that she is a healthy and beautiful woman, a fat man will either fully understand and accept the fact that he has no good dating options for obvious reasons or will start eating healthy and hit the gym, because he knows that this will fix the main reason why he can’t get ass that’s not grossly fat and jiggly.

[Image: aa55fec0c8b1d15c6305b60b17994bfe.jpg]

Fat men do not attempt to justify why they have horrible dating options with some bullshit excuse about society’s structure, they instead understand that their options are what they are because of their own poor choices.

I sincerely believe that advocators for the plus-size body confidence movement are, in every case, unhappy with themselves initially because of how much they’ve let themselves go. And the reason why they stay this way is because they can keep themselves sane with today’s technology by somehow managing to fit within a camera’s view, tell their life story, whine about how mean meanies are mean for saying mean things about their sexy Monstro the Whale body, and have other human lards write to them about how inspiring they are. These lards end up taking what was said in the video seriously, where sane people would take it as a joke or a big comedy routine. They then live under the facade that being fat is the exact same as being a more healthy weight. Same shape. Same risk of physical and emotional problems. Same burden on others. Not at all an indicator of self-control and mental stability.

All of this means that us men have very few dating options, unless we’re content with being a chubby chaser. Admittedly, many men have shown to adapt to this fat feminist movement by settling for hamsters.

[Image: article_2343846_1_A61_F899000005_DC_838_634x631.jpg] [Image: 4503d6c484d367879db20cc6582e9f10.jpg]
I see this all the time.

But for those of us who aren’t content with settling for farm animals, the truth is simply that we have fewer options, not only today, but I predict much worse in the close future.

But a growing fat movement for women isn’t the only awful, imbalancing aspect about Western culture that puts men with good standards at a loss and disadvantage in the game. Below is a quick list of other miscellaneous characteristics.
Men who are players or who simply play the field once in awhile and flirt are now douchebags. The roles have been reversed. Years ago, it was viewed that men who get quality ass by flirting around were cool and women who slept around were sluts. Now, women who have sex with randoms are empowered and independent and “don’t need no man”, whereas men are left with the title of ‘douchebag’ and ‘jerk’.
The rape culture phenomenon. Obvious one, and it’s getting worse and worse. More women are realizing that if they regret a night of fucking a man or men, they can simply call rape to save their face. Mix this with the broadening of the definition of rape and you have one hell of a sketchy system of romance. It sure is gonna be fun walking on eggshells for the rest of our lives.
A growing hostile attitude towards men who reject women based on weight. I remember when I was in 6th grade, a whole 10 years ago, I started seeing the first of this. One day during recess, whilst balling and being a pimp (just kidding, I was on the swings), I was told by this fat girl’s friends that she had a crush on me. When I said I didn’t feel the same way, I was heckled and bothered, demanding why this is. When one of the girls asked “Is it because she’s fat?” I told the truth and said yes. This obviously made me worse than Osama Bin Laden. I even remember one of them threatening to “tell on me” for saying that. For what, having standards? Although this was just in elementary school, this same scenario can be seen all throughout the western world nowadays. If you reject a woman because she is fat, and especially if her friends are around, be prepared for an earful.
More pill poppers. I mentioned this briefly above. More prescription drug abusers exist today for multitudes of mental health problems that doctors diagnose and figure a smorgasbord of pills will help. This is usually found within white women in their 20’s and 30’s but can stretch beyond that demographic.
More psychopathic/clingy women. Relating to above, more women are clingy and psychopathic today which I would say is positively correlated to an increase in pill poppers. As a result, some women are even suicidal. None of this is something you want to deal with.

And I’m sure there’s more that I am forgetting. And remember: These are only disadvantaging aspects that involve game. I could go on forever about how men (and society in general) are at a loss for reasons unrelated to game as well.

The evolving western culture puts men’s game at a great loss today and even more in the future.

What Can You Do?

So much negativity, right? I start off with something relatively good, but then crush your spirits with two doses of debbie-downeritis. But like your childhood doctor after he gave you your first shot, here’s where I give you a lollipop and tell you everything’s gonna be okay….. sort of.

The declining western world is a bummer, but instead of bitching about it and adapting the way every other guy has by being apart of the problem and settling for less, the best thing you can do for yourself is to take pride in where you stand. This is the whole point of this write-up. Why should you take pride in where your stand, you may ask? Because everything about it is good. Sure, a big perk of not being apart of the decline includes better physical and mental health, but there’s so much more to it than that. You have no idea how good you look to others by standing out and being one of the very few who haven’t succumbed to this new and evolved social culture by being fat, thinking you’re gay, being feminine, being ugly, etc. It says a lot about who you are. It says a lot about your willpower, your stability, your confidence, your intelligence, and your self-respect. You are unique because you show every sign of being a sane, masculine, smart and successful man, something that is rare to find today.

At the end of the day, when the Lindy Wests and the Laci Greens and the BuzzFeed and VICE faggots and millions of other toxic human beings are tucking themselves in having to sleep on what they do, being honest with themselves, and the person they honestly are and to eventually wake up and stare back at themselves in the mirror, you can rest soundly and gaze joyfully on the fact that you are everything positive and good that you can be. You are the best you that you can be. You are a realistic person. You don’t pretend, you don’t make up words, you don’t shove your problems in others’ faces. And you certainly don’t take your life for granted. Everything about you tells others how you’re doing, and how you’re doing is great. You have risen above a toxic society to be apart of a small population that is good. You represent self-improvement in a dying world, and people respect that. People don’t look at you and wince at the hideous view, they smile and grin because they can see physical evidence that you know what you’re doing with yourself.

You represent a resistance to a toxic world and, being apart of this resistance, you are respected and loved; envied and desired.

If you are honest with yourself about the man that you are being today, living by neomasculine beliefs and characteristics, you are and will always be a happy person living a great and self-fulfilling life.

Welcome back Syberpunk, you came racing out of the gates with this one.

[Heuristics]

We have to take control back, the plane is going down, and it has been hijacked by marxist-feminists. We have to storm the cockpit and eliminate the hijackers. If the plane goes down because none of us know how to fly, or they resist, at least we fought back and died on our terms. We as men fought back. We’re fundamentally violent beings but that is because our environment is dangerous and sometimes we have to fight to protect the things we love. We can never view ourselves as victims. We are rational actors with the potential to do both great and terrible things. We are men. We hold ourselves not to the standards that society suggests, but our own.

Quote:

'So, I'm 40, very good looking and fit, and can tell you the problems. Speaking to many young guys, the #1 thing they tell me is after #metoo, most women are very risky to date. These kids are scared to put a move on. Also, none of these young kids make de ent money. Women dont want losers who still live with mommy at 28 years old. And lastly, the biggest problem is everyone staring at screens all day. I used to bed so many women by walking by them, just giving a smile, and saying good morning when in NYC walking to work. They would turn back, give me a huge smile, and I would ask her name. The rest is history. Today, it cant be done because women are either starting at screens while walking or wearing headphones. Flirtation is all but dead. It's really sad"

Don’t date. Fuck. Yes, puritanism is setting in. I was scared too, I won’t say much about how it impacted my game. But eventually I figured it out. I had been conditioned. Conditioned by my mother, father, society, university, everything. I had been conditioned to be scared. I had to deprogram myself. I had to put myself through a training regimen to get all the toxicity out my brain and subconscious. At some point I discovered I was a red-blooded male, and that I would no longer suppress feelings, emotions, and desires. I decided I would no longer be meek. I would speak confidently, no longer scared of offending people. I would get what I want. About a year and a half ago I began deprogramming myself in earnest. I can only say recently have I started to see the results.

I still struggle with computers and shit like that, but I chat people up now, and don’t try to use dating apps as an outlet for my male desires.

I suggest that millennial men toughen the fuck up. I also suggest that they take steps to protect themselves when gaming and banging girls. At a bare minimum this would mean locking down social media and using a burner phone. Also being vague with women, and not giving out full names. Keep a bang journal or game log if you have to. Limit the amount of alcohol you drink. Record people if you’re in a one party consent state for recording, and save yourself the worry.

No question about it false rape accusations are damaging. Mitigate the risk. Or if you wanna say fuck it, leave the US. You have options.

Quote:

"Tinder and Instagram is absolute cancer for most men.

For the fun of it, I put on some older pics from me in my mid 20s, before Tinder, where I was at my prime and pulled one nighters regularly. I matched with only a couple of chicks and they were fat and old. What the hell happened since then? I can say with absolute certainty I would never touch those girls I matched with back then.

This is what Tinder is about? Losing 3-4 SMV points due to unchecked looks hypergamy and lack of physical presence.

What a shitty deal.”

I don’t think men on the forum should be using it unless they’re chads. The Ratios are so fucked up and fatties don’t need to be fucked, as I said on another thread. Tinder doesn’t need to be stealing your data from you either. Delete that Tinder shit and go approach in person.

Do not feed the female ego monster.

Quote:

And then if you go out now, you're weird if you don't keep a carefully curated Instagram.

Tinder and Instagram was the death of men who didn't lead all that interesting lives, but never the less had some balls and physicality."

I’ve taken leads with insta but believe me its not doing much for me at the moment. I have my niche or whatever. My takeaway is much like Tinder, you shouldn’t be using it much, if any at all. Yeah I get an ego boost by using it, but again, it’s a platform where just so much happens on female terms. Strategically speaking we should do all we can do to reduce the female advantage in the dating sphere/ sexual marketplace, much of it comes back to preventing them from using technology and apps to their advantage. That means that as men we have to have balls and approach women, or ingratiate them in social circles.

Quote:

I can say that 'metoo' and the surrounding culture is making this direct approach hard to do.

I mean, I can do it, but do I want to risk being thrown out of department stores, malls, cafes because one cunt or white knight wants to make a scene/example?

This pressure has resigned a lot of men to 'play their position' on online dating- the position being, settle for an unpleasant woman usually a couple of points below you.

Again, I say fuck society. I’d rather be in prison and mentally free, than to be walking the streets constrained by real or invisible rules making me unfree. To minimize risk men can simply approach in public places. Or leave when asked to leave. People are so engrossed in their boring “interesting” lives, I don’t think anyone notices.

As an average dude, I’ve had little success on online dating, but only now, from insights of other members have I seen how rigged it is. I’m not going to play by their dictates.

Quote:

I don't have any easy answers to the problems.

-Make sole-provider living more affordable.
-Shame bad female behavior.
-Encourage young men to get their balls back.
-Fix the legal system; stop incentivizing people to blow up marriages.

Agree. In the absence of sole-provider living becoming more affordable, men should go into jobs that are not gynocentric and well paying. Whether that be a trade, programming, etc. Places that women won’t invade.

Shame female behavior. This means stopping the online roleplaying and in real life socially shaming women. This is something that takes balls, but if the market is so shitty for men, we have to start pushing back on the marketplace participants. Shame fatties. Shame bad behavior. Shame selfishness. Shame entitlement. Shame masculine behavior from women.

Encourage men to get balls back. Agree completely. Call out younger men for self- destructive behavior and being pussies. Shit talk with other men. Etc.

Agree about legal system. But in absence of that, don’t marry, don’t vote for people that enable welfare state. Vote libertarian. Insofar as they are the only people politically who will do their best to dismantle welfare. Republicans are cucks and support all sort of socialist initiatives.

Quote:

We have some bright minds here at RVF, and I would like to discuss initiatives to disrupt the death Matrix.

In my view, if we find a way to neutralize the effects of social media and dating apps, perhaps through another technological initiative, we may be able to bring the system down.

Reject mainstream culture. Reject mainstream platforms. Reject toxic social norms. Reject Hollywood. Reject Big tech. Reject feminism. Reject consumerism. Reject Corporatism. Reject the cities. Reject entitled women. Reject leftism. Reject welfare. Reject immigration. Reject a strong central government. Reject foreign interventions. Reject political correctness. Reject degeneracy.

Embrace God, embrace families, embrace traditional values.

Ive lost hope about Europe.

This is not a trend that will wash away like bleaching your hair or wearing baggy clothes, it will go worse and will stay like that for decades, if not permantently.

[Brazilianguy]

Guys, we all know it´s shit everywhere.
We have to find ways, using technology, to convey the following messages to women:

- Being a fat fuck, a feminist, etc = being a loser at life
- Relying on social media and dating apps for validation = you´re a loser nerd who can´t get or keep a man in real life
- Being single and over 30= loser
- Dating a soyboy= loser
- Focusing on career= whore who´s not marriage material

Again, I think the key is developing a social media platform, or perhaps an app, that rates and gives women individual scores as dating material.
This idea is maturing inside my mind, but I would like for you guys to brainstorm a little with me here.
Whining can be good to get shit off our chest, but we have to be productive too.

[Bananaman711]

I suspect social media apps, IG in particular, cause more damage than Tinder, when women end up on dating app she is a bottom of the barrel type or she will become one very soon.
Dating sites are giant sausage fests, i would say big % of female profiles are fake created by a company or by paid proxies so it cant be traced back to company itself. They have to keep guys in the loop, paying and hoping "self improvement" will turn them into a slayer, very small number of men clean up online.
Ashley Madison cheating site turned out to have 90% of men and 10% women and most of female profiles were fake.

Insta and fb is where women get all their validation needs covered and they use for dating or fucking hot or popular guys.
Single women does not need anything more than those 2 platforms to have her needs met.

Banning is the only solution on the grounds that it is damaging for the society, male/female relations, leads to narcissism, depression, loneliness etc.
All studies pretty much prove all that

[Brazilianguy]

I suspect social media and cell phone addiction was carefully planned beforehand.
The end goal is to have people connected to social media 24/7 via some kind of permanent device (google glasses or some such thing).

But I digress. Let´s discuss possible disruptive strategies.

[tomtud]

Simple, don’t use the facebooks or instagrams to contact girls or others for business purposes etc. Use your telephone to call them.

If a girl wants you, she will communicate with you verbally over the phone old school style. None of this Facebook messenger or whatsapp. If you’re another “option” for her, you will see a text and not a call back from her if you called her. This is a good thing now because you know what you are dealing with.

Switching gears, On Saturday night I saw 3 ladies in their 30s late 20s by the bar with all of them on their phones. I peeked over and saw the closest one to me swiping on tinder and constantly looking at Instagram notifications popping up on her phone. These girls were nothing special in looks, but I bet they are getting many many likes swiped on tinder. A group of 3 that “bored” at a bar on a Saturday night and using their phones for social media and online dating. Wtf!?!?!?!

[Vladimir Poontang]

I have a question.

Over the last few years I've noticed more and more people walking around staring into their phones. And by people I mean women, overwhelmingly. If there's 5 females and 5 males waiting for a bus, usually 4 of the females will be looking into their phones, and maybe 1 male doing it.

I wish I could take a peek and see what they're actually looking at, but it's not easy. They tend to say stuff like "why are you jumping on me?" and "Ouch, that hurts!" I'm sure they're not texting a friend or reading a text. Maybe they're reading blogs. But if they're walking around surely they're not looking at anything that requires deep attention, so the only thing I can think of is social media, as although it can use up one's attention, that attention is light. Sometimes I see them in the middle of the road looking at their phones, and sometimes they're just holding them out. It's ridiculous.

So my question is, are the majority of them looking at social media? I suspect they are. If so, what a sad state of affairs that so many people (women) are that addicted.

[BlastbeatCasanova]

Social media is used by the powers that be to control us. Those same powers though want a war with Iran and/or Russia. If they get that, then they might lose control via social media due to a electromagnetic pulse. This problem may solve itself although in a really messy way.

The inventor of Linux OS joins the fight by calling social media a disease.

Linus Torvalds Wrote:

"I absolutely detest modern 'social media' -- Twitter, Facebook, Instagram. It's a disease. It seems to encourage bad behavior," he said in response to a question about the one thing he'd fix in tech today. "The whole 'liking' and 'sharing' model is just garbage. There is no effort and no quality control. In fact, it's all geared to the reverse of quality control, with lowest common denominator targets, and click-bait and things designed to generate an emotional response, often one of moral outrage."

I think there is a direct link between the release of the first iPhone, facebook blowing up and the Great Recession. Instead of turning our anger and frustration on the people responsible for short sighted, greedy policy, we directed that energy at each other. 60% of divorces sight facebook as a main factor. Now factored in the spying capabilities that a smart phone has, you've got the biggest most beautiful surveillance network ever built.

The next big social movements will be unplugging from the system. 3 years ago I decided to delete all social media apps apart from facebook messenger (I use that for group chats). All of my friends called me weird. Especially the girls. I explained that I was spending too much time with no returns from that time. When I lived in England I would leave my phone in the house during work. That 8 hours of being bored was great. I started thinking again, day dreaming and being a lot more calm.

Its funny all the conspiracy theory guys talked about ID cards/implants but who needs it when you have people blowing there whole load online...genius move really
