As most of my readers know I’m presently editing the final draft of my third book. A very large part, almost a third, of this new book will be dedicated to Red Pill Parenting. I’ve written several series-posts about parenting from a Red Pill perspective and I felt it was an important enough topic to deserve a category itself in my sidebar links. I’ve expanded significantly upon these essays in the book as well as adding more material and some general advice for Red Pill aware men in their parenting efforts.
One thing I’m asked of from men who are Red Pill aware fathers is what to look out for and what to apply themselves to in raising a son or daughter using a Red Pill Lens. While prospectively it will give women some parenting insights, I’ve written this section with the intent of informing men about what they can expect from a feminine-primary social bent on conditioning a man’s children to assimilate to a Blue Pill mindset.
Without giving too much away, I’ve tried to express the dangers of a system of feminine-primary acculturation that contributes to what we term ‘Blue Pill Conditioning’ in the manosphere. What defines a ‘Blue Pill‘ mindset means different things to different men, but what conditions him to literally think, and invest his ego into that feminine-primary identification is initiated at a very early age. One thing I think gets lost on guys becoming Red Pill aware is just how much of his very natural-feeling sense of self is the result of a conditioning that’s taken the better part of his lifetime to develop in him.
The main reason I began developing a Red Pill parenting dialog is because it’s vitally necessary for Red Pill fathers – really any father with a sense of conventional masculinity – to come to terms with how his sons’ and daughters’ upbringing will be defined by what I call ‘The Village’ in the book. I coined this from the popular meme that “it takes a village to raise a child”, and the Village we have today is one that is dead set on instilling and normalizing a state of deliberate gender confusion – and hopefully perpetuate that state into a person’s adulthood.
The Village
This Village is a catch-all term and I mean to have it represent all of the influences a child receives in its upbringing that contributes to its Blue Pill sense of self. This includes the influences of media, popular entertainment, academia, their pre and grammar school education, popular culture that actively seeks to instill its own ideological base, etc. These are fairly recognizable sources of the Village’s systemic influence, but it’s also important to understand that this influence will be reinforced by your child’s peers, their Village family and relatives.
‘The Village’ will raise your kids if you don’t. You will be resisted, you will be ridiculed, you will be accused of every thought-crime to the point of being dragged away to jail for imparting Red Pill awareness to them (in the future I expect it to be equated with child abuse). The Village will teach your boys from the most impressionable ages (5 years old) to loath their maleness, to feel shame for being less perfect than girls and to want to remake their gender-identity more like girls – to the point that transitioning their gender to girls’ will be the norm.
The Village will raise your daughters to perpetuate the same cycle that devalues conventional masculinity, the same cycle that considers a father’s presence as superfluous and their sacrifices as granted expectations. It will raise your daughters to over-inflate their sense of worth with unmerited confidence at the expense of boys as their foils. It will teach them to openly embrace Hypergamy as their highest personal authority (publicly and privately) and to disrespect anything resembling masculinity to be less than some silly anachronism or reverse it into being all about men’s insecurities.
The good news is that for all of these efforts in social engineering, the Feminine Imperative is still confounded by basic biology and the psychological firmware evolved into us over millennia. That basic root reality is your greatest advantage as a father. If there’s one underlying truth upon which to base your parenting it’s this; children are still motivated by evolved influences that are relatively predictable. Begin from the root truth that we evolved our psychology and our behaviors from intergender complementarity that made us the preeminent species on this planet. It takes a global Village to distort this by teaching failed notions of egalitarian equalism.
Useful Tools – Blue Pill Fathers
Although the Village would assert its influence to be the primary one in your child’s life, and although it would have women believe that father’s are both necessary when convenient and superfluous, father’s are not without their uses. The Feminine Imperative (by way of the social system of the Village) needs fathers to help reinforce its feminine-primary influence in their children’s lives. Thus, Blue Pill fathers must also carry the feminine-primary water in their parenting. They must be taught to believe that parenting a daughter is preferable to parenting a son:
I realize that everything I could do with a boy I can do with my daughters (i.e. play basketball, teach them how to throw a punch, and play in the dirt). Yes, I know that’s a big fat “duh” for many of you, but I’m a recovering knucklehead with minimal relapses, so please humor me. And yes, I’m going to teach them much more than those three things – but I promise you that I will teach them those three things.
The Feminine Imperative needs men to constantly reaffirm the fallacies of egalitarian equalism, but it is The Village that needs a father to instill them into the minds of their own flesh and blood as well as those of other fathers. The meme is always a pretense of gender-neutral equity, but the latent purpose is one of devaluing the very existence of boys, and, by extension, conventional masculinity.
And this is the crux of the effort to enlist fathers in the system of the Village; masculinity and maleness are always portrayed as problems to be solved – the solution always being more feminine identification. The main goal of the Village is to destroy and redefine conventional masculinity in a way that only benefits the feminine.
I realize that being “girly” is just a myth. What does that mean, anyway? Would my kid be less girly if she dressed up as Spider-Man for Halloween instead of a princess? (and that’s exactly what she did, by the way). Would she be less girly if she wanted to tackle little boys on the football field instead of taking ballet classes? Not to me.
This is precisely the degree of gender obfuscation the Village requires fathers to endorse. The squid ink here is the idea that masculine and feminine, boys & girls, male and female are all one, undifferentiated whole; in fact the old ideas of gender differences that brought the human race to where it is today, we are taught, were nothing more than “myths”. The underlying note is that girls are the functional equals of boys, but girls have the social and sexual advantage of being female.
The social narrative of the Village, the one it needs fathers to internalize and parrot back, is one of Fempowerment, but simultaneously one of male disempowerment. The idea then evolves into a sense of conventional masculinity being a defect of men; men are just unperfected women who are in need of women (or their daughters’) innate correction.
The idea here is that men with daughters make for “better men” as defined by the Feminine Imperative and approved by The Village. What Red Pill fathers need to acknowledge in this that their sons will be taught that their maleness is inherently flawed. All of the attributes and evolved instincts that make him a boy will be connected with his masculinity being “toxic”.
“Toxic Masculinity” or “Hyper-masculinity” are common tropes in the Village. We’ve gotten to a point that any form of traditional, conventionally masculine behaviors are now equated with a character flaw in men. So thoroughly has the Village distorted the old books definition of manhood that anything resembling a characteristically masculine behavior is, by default, an act of ‘hyper’ or “over-the-top” masculinity. This, of course, makes characterizing those acts as toxic, or ridiculous.
The Preferred Gender
In my essay, Environmental Stresses I added this quote from the book The Red Queen:
Contrary to popular belief a preference for boys over girls is not universal. Indeed, there is a close relationship between social status and the degree to which sons are preferred. Laura Betzig of the University of Michigan noticed that, in feudal times, lords favored their sons, but peasants were more likely to leave possessions to daughters. While their feudal superiors killed or neglected daughters or banished them to convents, peasants left them more possessions: Sexism was more a feature of elites than of the unchronicled masses.
[…]Lower down the social scale, daughters are preferred even today: A poor son is often forced to remain single, but a poor daughter can marry a rich man. In modern Kenya, Mukogodo people are more likely to take daughters than sons to clinics for treatment when they are sick, and therefore more daughters than sons survive to the age of four. This is rational of the Mukogodo parents because their daughters can marry into the harems of rich Samburu and Maasai men and thrive, whereas their sons inherit Mukogodo poverty. In the calculus of Trivers-Willard, daughters are better grandchildren-production devices than sons.
These quotes are a part of a much more in depth look at how both environmental and social stresses contribute to a ‘preferred gender’ dynamic in both animal populations and human social structure. As I was reviewing this book recently it hit me how western cultures have blatantly been endorsing ‘female’ as the preferred gender for the past 60-70 years now.
I realize this assertion grates on popular culture’s sensibilities when it comes to gender, but as I stated in that essay, at no other time in human history has it been more advantageous to be female than today. Whether you want to argue that assertion from socioeconomic, education, gender identity, social ‘progress’ or any other metric, women in this era enjoy a condition that places their sex as the primary one in terms of social advantage. Women today live in a social condition that advantages, ensures their relative successes and directly or indirectly provisions for their personal security while simultaneously seeking to handicap being male and ridiculing the conventionally masculine.
In many a prior essay I’ve made the assertion that this effort in feminizing boys – in “perfecting” them with feminization – has been a long effort in social engineering. And while I still believe this is true, I think that in recent years the adaptive response to this preferred gender dynamic for Blue Pill fathers, men and boys is now an effort in socially engineering boys to imagine their gender identity as being transitionable to that of girls. Needles to say this push for gender self-reassignment has been embraced by the Village.
Olivia loves Disney’s Frozen princesses, all things sparkly, bright tights and ballet. During her family’s Cuban vacation last summer, she danced in the children’s “mini-disco” before the evening shows, twirling and leaping across the stage. One night another guest turned to her parents, exclaiming, “Your daughter is the girliest girl I’ve ever seen!”
Olivia was born a boy.
She “socially transitioned” from male to female, in nursery school last year. She was four years old.
Today, she attends kindergarten at a Montreal primary school. Only her teachers and the school board know she is transgender, for now.
Olivia (not her real name to protect her identity) is part of a growing phenomenon that is being celebrated but which is also raising strong emotions: an increasing number of children as young as preschoolers appearing at gender identity-clinics across the country, convinced they are of the opposite sex.
The new push to normalize transgender acceptance relies solely on the presumption that gender identity is a social construct rather than influenced by biological, and evolved psychological dynamics inherent in both sexes. The idea again comes back to the egalitarian presumption of a blank-slate equalism and a rejection of gender as a binary determination. Yet in over 90% of transgender identity shifts we see it is boys who opt to “become” female in their self-reassignment. Left to their own non-abstract decision making – and reinforced by Blue Pill parents and the Village – boys will, in the binary, shift to a female / feminine gender identity in overwhelmingly greater numbers than girls shifting to a male / masculine identity.
I would argue that this greater transgender preference for boys is a direct result of the Preferred Gender dynamic and reinforced by the Village conditioning boys for it while normalizing the idea of it in a larger cultural respect. This is the next step in cultural feminization of boys and men that began in the touchy-feely days of men needing to “get in touch with their feminine sides.”
It is no longer enough for boys just to be educated in a feminine-correct manner. It is no longer enough to teach them to despise the gender they were born into, “hoping their penises will fall off”, and it’s no longer enough to condition them to defer to girl’s perfectness. Boys must literally be transitioned to be girls from as young an age as 4 years old.
This is the degree to which the Village and the Feminine Imperative will go to condition future men into a Blue Pill mindset. I outline this in the upcoming book, but this is vitally important for Red Pill fathers to understand because these will be the ‘boys’ they may eventually need to mentor and unplug from their very early psychological damage. Many voices in the manosphere call this damage child abuse and it’s easy to understand why; this damage works on a boy’s most intimate part of his sense of self.
Red Pill fathers need to recognize this perversion of conventional masculinity for what it is and protect their sons (as well as daughters) from it while still anticipating the fall that will result from the “men” this re-engineering of gender will create.
What about the “non-binaries”? Think of the non-binaries!
http://www.stripes.com/news/us/transgender-army-veteran-1st-in-us-to-change-sex-to-non-binary-1.414223
And your inability to grasp anything in the OP only demonstrates your ego investments in social constructionism.
There are two sexes. Although there are methods that enhance and/or suppress the appearance and expression of one sex or the other, there is currently no method for transitioning from one to the other. No matter what methods of modification are used, the individual is still fully indentifiable as their original biological sex.
The medical technology to transition from one sex to the other is essentially the same that is required to transition from human to chimpanzee.
Gender is a jargon term of the gender theorists to mean a subjective state which is self-identified and is not sex.
Any four year old has far more to learn about their surroundings than any interest in sexual position or disposition.
Tonka trucks or dolls may be a decision present company considered.But gender trans? give me a break! Either you pee standing or sitting this is the extent of a four year olds concern in this matter.Anything more is seed planted by a sick fool.

The human infant biologically, morphologically, and psychologically reflects its source — the mother. Jungians (who you shit on, I know) refer to this as participation mystique, a form of religious identity between infant and mother, and more broadly, between infant and the feminine. For the female infant it is no issue to be tied into a participation mystique with her mother. The normal course of a girl’s psychological development is to mirror the mother at every step, but to learn the additive faculties of discrimination, discipline, and boundary from her father. Whether a father is present or absent, mothers and… Read more »

Look I like your input, and I think it provides a good balance of practical to what I go into, I’ve always said that, and if you actually followed… Read more »
I see the one above now Sentient. That makes sense. I watched the (ostensible) “cold approach” videos before they were deleted and the thing that came to mind was…I think the majority of normal people in the real world would find this environment worse than a wire brush to the privates, or a fork in the eye. And this is, as a lifestyle, is supposedly the ANSWER? But I’m awash with confirmation bias. I live in the real world, and I’m trying to envision my 18 year old son going in and doing this. I just don’t see it. (plus,… Read more »
@Ya Really:
You’re throwing a hissy fit.
“I just didn’t think brand building was his primary purpose of this place after how much he made fun of Roosh and MMSL for it.”
And perhaps that is why you don’t understand why this doesn’t make a lick of sense.

Don’t worry… Your 18yo normie son is not getting into any of these venues…
Now maybe if he had an agent and a publicist and a private banker…
@Rollo: Thanks for clarification. I would prefer the videos were allowed, but I understand your position.
@YaReally, in the blog game, the blog owners own the frame. If they change on a dime, we can’t do anything about it other than go to wordpress.com, start a free blog using an anonymous email, and start posting about anything. So, you start this free blog, choose a free blog template that looks nice to you, then simply create a post and start typing. The only difference from what you’re doing now would be, you saying, “Rollo had a post today at [insert url] that mentioned x, let’s dissect this and here is a youtube video that shows my… Read more »
@Rollo “Yep, that’s about what I expected would be your reaction” I’m accused of being a shill or member of RSD and accused of purposely trying to undermine your site by you yourself, useful content I’ve spent hours writing up for guys has been deleted/fucked up, and for some reason I’m not reacting rainbows and sunshine about that. Shocker. “If you or “Tyler” want to work out some cobranding arrangement with TRM you can both contact me directly, but there’s no fucking gravy training going on here anymore.” Dude I don’t fucking KNOW Tyler. I would be amazed if he… Read more »
@YaReally: you linked Janka’s book for me, I asked about subway game.
Anyway, it is a big inconvenience but I think you are taking this too personally as well. No point getting annoyed about it (I recommend Stoicism).
Rollo may be paranoid but with the chances of getting doxxed etc. it pays to be paranoid.
@Rollo: for what is worth, I don’t think YaReally being a shill adds up – he spends way too much time giving advice that isn’t “monetized” in any way for that to make sense to me.
Whatever the *context*, whoever ‘YaReally’ actually is, whoever ‘Rollo Tomassi’ actually is – I have no clue. You both want anonymity, you both are proficient writers and thinkers such that you’re both widely known, and you’ve kept that anonymity AFAIK. That’s impressive… Here’s what I think this is about – the “E” word…. Ready for it?….. …..ETHICS ! Let’s set aside the prospective motivations of YaReally or Rollo Tomassi – and just focus on Owen Cook, AKA Tyler. He’s the face of RSD. He controls everything RSD. I have never met Owen and have no idea how valid his claims… Read more »
@IAS “Anyway, it is a big inconvenience but I think you are taking this too personally as well.” This is 100% personal to me. We all know he’s not talking about someone else. Dude is flat out calling me a paid shill here to undermine his blog. Like I haven’t been linking vids from a ton of companies since day one over on Heartiste. RSD just puts out daily videos and cover the range of topics. I’ll be happy to link Mystery’s latest video, oh wait, he hasn’t put out a new video in fucking forever. I’ll link some Simple… Read more »
@YaReally
You missed my point, which was that Rollo MIGHT care if Owen does shady business stuff. Especially if he *simply believes* that he does have legit word-of-mouth info pertaining to what he wrote above, even if that’s not the case (e.g. if someone were lying to him). Can’t you see that perspective?
Anyway, maybe if Rollo was willing to say ‘Yeah, I have an issue with Owen’ and YaReally were willing to say ‘OK dude, I’ll post content from any other PUA outfit going forward then’ – things could get back on track. Just a suggestion.
@Joe
You missed my point, which was that Rollo MIGHT care if Owen does shady business stuff.
Throw the baby out with the bathwater. Good strategy.
@Joe K “Can’t you see that perspective?” Except that he’s CLEARLY implying that I’m working for Tyler or profit/benefit in some way from posting RSD vids. That’s what the “you or Tyler can contact me for a promo deal” shit is about. “Anyway, maybe if Rollo was willing to say ‘Yeah, I have an issue with Owen’ and YaReally were willing to say ‘OK dude, I’ll post content from any other PUA outfit going forward then’ – things could get back on track. Just a suggestion.” If anyone can show me another PUA outfit that has infield of them in… Read more »
Who benefits more if YaReally posts free RSD vids here? Readers? Rollo? RSD? YaReally?
@theasdgamer “Who benefits more if YaReally posts free RSD vids here? Readers? Rollo? RSD? YaReally?” Personally I assumed the benefits of the reader came before the rest of those. Same way I’ll link videos from guys I don’t even like like Roosh if he puts out a video that shows something solid. All that matters to me is helping the guys who are looking to avoid being the next Elliot Rogers or George Sodini or suicide victim or sad nerd who spends 30 years dreaming of being able to get girls without having to hire a hooker to pretend she’s… Read more »
Just my 2 cents…
When my BP life was in the shitter 9ish mos ago, it was the academic content in TRM that was like a light in the darkness that kept me [mostly] sane- or at least from chewing on a bullet. But that academic light only goes so far… YaReally’s detailed explanations coupled with the RSD content showed- and continues to show- the practical applications I never understood. It would be a shame to decouple the practical from theory.
@theasdgamer: I’d say readers benefit the most, because it saves us time. RSD posts a ton of videos and very long ones. I spent some minutes trying to find the situation YaReally is talking about on a recent video and didn’t find it yet. Better content in the comments section gives some indirect benefits to everyone though. Rollo gets more repeat visits for sure, and possible more new visits to the site (if that matters to him, he isn’t really monetizing the site beyond advertising his own books, but almost all of that content is free on the site anyway).… Read more »
@theasdgamer
“Who benefits more if YaReally posts free RSD vids here? Readers? Rollo? RSD? YaReally?”
In fact the better question is: who LOSES OUT more with no free RSD vids allowed here? Readers? Rollo? RSD? Me?
I can tell you which one loses out the most. By a fucking MILE. My mistake was thinking that mattered over ego wars and ad bucks.
@IAS “@theasdgamer: I’d say readers benefit the most, because it saves us time. RSD posts a ton of videos and very long ones. I spent some minutes trying to find the situation YaReally is talking about on a recent video and didn’t find it yet.” Type “RSD tyler taxi” into YouTube, it’s the first interaction with the girl in the cab. Note Tyler’s messy hair, plain t-shirt, etc and the mindsets he’s describing (in terms of not being attached to the outcome, feeling entitled to get physical and escalate, etc). BE CAREFUL, AT THE VERY END OF THE VIDEO HE… Read more »
@IAS From that video even (part of why I have these all memorized is because when I link them I let them play in the background while I do other shit after I post lol): “Is there anything here that if I had more money, would help this girl (that he’s carrying off into an alleyway to makeout with) to be even MORE attracted? What if I was like yo girl wait hold up just so you knowwww I make moneyyyyy!! Would that help? Would it make a difference if I was better looking? Would this girl be even MORE… Read more »
@YaReally @Rollo – everyone else What just happened on this thread? I’m still crazy busy with work – unusually so for a Blitz (so not much going out or reading TRM) – but I just glanced at the comments on this thread and it seems to have gone surreal with the RSD stuff. Rollo, I have no idea why you’ve banned RSD videos. I’m sure you have your reasons and you’re not obliged to reveal them, but as I’m sure you realize, it just looks bizarre and arbitrary to those of us reading along without more details. Speaking for myself… Read more »
@YaReally, you don’t have to make a cent man, but you have proven your desire to help other dudes, so having your own FREE BLOG THAT TAKES 5 MINUTES TO SET UP, will let you do that without having to worry about censorship or outing yourself. Everything is automatic with WordPress. if you can type into MS Word, you can run a blog. Seriously, set up time is 5 minutes, then you log in, click the button to do a new post, type, hit publish, and it’s out there. The site I created with your summary was simple to set… Read more »
@YaReally: I don’t think anyone, Rollo included, is questioning there is tons of value in those RSD videos. Rollo just doesn’t want to be associated with them at this stage for whatever reasons. Also, I take at face value what Rollo said numerous times about your posts bringing value to the site. It doesn’t make sense to me that you are a shill, but it also doesn’t make sense to me that Rollo actually doesn’t like your content (FR breakdowns and so on). Rollo said “Look I like your input, and I think it provides a good balance of practical… Read more »
Googling for a way to link RSD videos without increasing their view count on them (if that’s the thing that has Rollo’s panties in a twist, like that they’re getting 10 extra views from the guys here who actually click and watch the videos lol), but I can’t find a way to do that. People use archive sites to link articles without giving the site clicks/views but it looks like there’s no way to do that on YouTube. I don’t even know if that would help chill Rollo out if I could do it, but if I could I would… Read more »
@newlyaloof “so having your own FREE BLOG THAT TAKES 5 MINUTES TO SET UP, will let you do that without having to worry about censorship or outing yourself” Easier to get doxxed once you spread out past comment sections and I don’t want to come up with topics to talk about or moderate a comment section for spam etc That’s why I’ve just hung out in comment sections from the start. I’m just a part of the discussion and keeping shit in check when people make claims that the field doesn’t back up (by linking video showing the opposite infield).… Read more »

Alright, seeing as there’s no practical way to just ban videos I’ve reinstated the old posts. And I’ll lift the ban, but I will be adding a disclaimer to TRM’s footer that state this site is not an endorsement of RSD in particular. I understand guys get value from the links, and as I’ve said before I don’t have any disagreement with the material, but I do understand that RSD is a business and outreach is part of that business model. I’ve never monetized this site (beyond making the books available) and I have no plans to, but TRM has… Read more »
@Rollo: major thanks from me personally. I haven’t seen much from Krauser myself, and I know you have him on your blogroll so you must respect him. YaReally doesn’t always put Krauser down – there was a recent post by him where he suggested one of Krauser’s products to someone: https://therationalmale.com/2016/11/16/shes-unhaapppy/comment-page-4/#comment-179608 Also just prior to that, to me specifically, Janka at the end of this long post: https://therationalmale.com/2016/11/16/shes-unhaapppy/comment-page-3/#comment-179326 and here https://therationalmale.com/2016/11/16/shes-unhaapppy/comment-page-3/#comment-179328 where Krauser is also mentioned (if not in a positive light, at least neutral) He also routinely posts a link to a LaRuina (Gambler) clip and a few specific… Read more »
@Rollo “Alright, seeing as there’s no practical way to just ban videos I’ve reinstated the old posts. And I’ll lift the ban, but I will be adding a disclaimer to TRM’s footer that state this site is not an endorsement of RSD in particular.” I can literally post at the top of any post I link RSD vids in or under each vid “TRM DOES NOT ENDORSE RSD” whenever I post if you want. Seriously, I don’t care, as long as guys see/hear what the video is teaching. “If I ban other people for spamming here with their penis enlargement… Read more »
Thought I was going to have the last site I like on the manosphere…..
http://media.tenor.co/images/9b9114f36f6f0a994f1eed31045d5f14/raw
Also I doubt anyone from here actually purchases any of RSD shit……I mean I torrented all their products..and only watched one ( never finished it actually) I watch the free vids that ya links though.
Censorship is a bitch.
@YaReally @Rollo, YaReally, from now on, you could simple say, “To illustrate this, check out the video labeled [insert name of video on youtube] and watch from 5 minutes to 10 minutes.” We can simply open a new tab on our own and search for that video. Hell, you don’t even have to mention RSD if their video title does from now on. You can use code, like “check out “the R guys” video called [insert video name on youtube], etc.” I could be wrong, but I think you can append the attribute “follow=nofollow” inside any url and it won’t… Read more »
@all watching californication. great show. i watched it just for pua stuff, but its actually a good show. waay more story and plot than i thought they would be. 7 or 8/10 for me so far. and also hank has a very similar style to me (go figure lol) so i will have to rewatch it specifically on the girl parts. whole show is super RP…his long time gf ditching him for the rich beta…the redhead who ends up sleeping with him even though he nuked her from orbit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWJhAOnJIzI lol. I want to do that just for the reaction… Read more »
Oh well, I don’t do pickup so I don’t mind no RSD videos, but I got to admit, they were/are mind-blowing and I greatly appreciate Yareally’s input on everything, and of course, Rollo’s too.
When I analyze things like this I always ask – “who’s got the most to win/lose”
Looks like the OMGs win…
@rollo
Thanks man. Understand none of us would have gotten so worked up over this shit if this site wasn’t so important to us. I hope you understand where we are coming from and don’t take it personally.
Thanks again for all the shit that you do. It changed so many guys lives, mine included.
@pua Other thing I noticed, with the redhead. How Hank Moody was wrong about a lot of his cold read (she wasn’t a cheap martha stewart, she’s a lawyer). However, he got one main thing right (that she couldn’t bag the guy she liked, and instead he married the next girl). That was ALL THAT MATTERED. She only noted that he was right on that part, and ignored the rest (though she still registered the stuff he was wrong on as taking her down a peg) yeah definitely going back over this stuff once I finish the first three seasons.… Read more »
One last thing and then I have to go get ready for tonight: The reason I take the shilling accusations personally is because every accusation ruins the credibility of my archive. Every accusation, especially coming from *THE* ROLLO TOMASSI HIMSELF, not some random hater that just pops out to accuse me or some regular commenter who disagrees with me, but from Rollo the guy who’s name carries all sorts of Manosphere weight…every accusation lets guys who ALREADY DON’T WANT TO BELIEVE WHAT I’M SAYING or what RSD is demonstrating in their infields, go “I KNEW it!! Just a paid shill… Read more »
@Yareally
I’ve been watching a lot of the Craig Ferguson videos recently. You mentioned Russell Brand and Craig being impossible to AMOG in a comment here:
https://heartiste.wordpress.com/2013/08/02/amog-tit-grab/#comment-463932
I stumbled across some interesting videos where Russell Brand came on Craig’s show. Some interesting AMOG dynamics here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VSgHwEKFts&t=1852s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtkfwCJegVE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yq5XvmrUeA
By the third interview I think Craig realizes Russell Brand can’t really be stopped he can only be contained.
Although starting around 3:40 in the third video Russell Brand gives a Craig “a game recognizes game” comment
@Rollo, okay man. Here you go. This page shows you how to make sure NOBODY get’s any “link juice” from you for free:
http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-nofollow-all-external-links-in-wordpress/
@newlyaloof @Rollo
No idea what a nofollow is exactly or how to do it but someone let me know exactly how to link a nofollow YouTube video and I’ll be happy to add ?=nofollow or whatever to every RSD vid I post from here on out lol EVEN THOUGH IT MEANS I’LL BE POOR BECAUSE I WON’T GET MY TYLER-DOUGH!!
@pua a few more things #1 was joking around with boss about me being gay and she said “you’re noooooot gay hank.” like I had claimed to be an african american woman. So to the concern from way back when with guys like scray and sentient thinking my gay jokes came across wrong, thats not the case. She was insistent that I absolutely 100% was not and could not be gay. It was actually surprising that she just came right out and said it “you aren’t gay hank.” like I was being ridiculous. #2 had fat coworker come up out… Read more »
