Two rage comics that capture well the true human tragedy that is FRIENDZONING, both of which I found in the awesome Blue Pill subreddit. The one above is by dont_buy_me_gold; the one below by SaltyChristian (who is, incidentally, a CERTIFIED ALPHA).
I have heard rumors that the entire Blue Pill subreddit is not actually a hangout for super alpha dudes but rather a parody of the Red Pill subreddit but I choose not to believe them, much in the same way I choose not to believe in the supposed “law” of gravity. It’s A THEORY, people!
(Note: These are both parodies, by the way, in case there is any confusion.)
LOL the first comic! Some guys who press the issue even after I say I’m married (“your husband don’t gotta know”, “that doesn’t matter to me”, one even insisted I should pull off my glove in winter to prove I had a ring.) and get angry when I insist I’m faithful. Yet at the same time there are some guys who insist women are all “golddigging sluts” who aren’t truly capable of love or emotion.
Nepenthe: Yes, you are right.
So, Block Hat: I withdraw the challenge to answer the questions I put to Pro-Patria Truthiness, and comments about his tome of theological wonder. I also admit to not knowing your stance on bodily autonomy.
The rest stands.
Beakhead: ‘All men are rapists’ is a feminist slogan- not a MRA slogan.
Prove it. Find the feminists who use it. (note, you have made a postive statement: “all men are rapists is a feminist slogan”. This means it’s a widely accepted idea, being actively promoted by, “feminism”).
I’d argue it’s an MRA shibboleth that feminists think this, which is very different.
To cite the tail end of a conversation as the complete statement is indeed selective editing.
WTF? So only a complete re-posting of an entire thread counts an an honest quotation?
Wow. So, we can expect looonnnnng examples from you of the falsity of misogyny, as well as the same in the “proofs” of how feminists hate men, and want to castrate them, just for being men.
Or shall we trust your probity; given how clearly you understood the entire thread TB was in, what with all the feminists attacking the victim, and calling for him to be castrated and all… you know the ones that weren’t for the former, and the total lack of the latter.
Like who?
OK, I’m officially begging you: learn to logic. Get a book, or poke around this page, or take a class when you go to college in a couple of years, or whatever, but please, stop saying things like this. It’s embarrassing.
So I read that quote from TyphonBlue, and in response I say this:
Me babes are starting to chuckle and giggle; they’re definitely sucking their thumbs, when they don’t just say screw it and try to get their whole fist in; and this morning Selena was holding onto the edge of her wee blanket.
And I have also started to experience that unique bond between parent and child, where the child looks deep and soulfully into the parent’s eyes, and FARTS LIKE ANYTHING.
I misread it as “but I can give you good Sox”, which led to meditations on the quality of certain Boston and Chicago baseball teams.
I see. So no one actually said it.
Feminists: Rape is not inevitable, rapeists (the majority of whom are men) make the choice to rape (which implies that men are capable of controlling themselves, or why would we bother to demand it?)
MRAs: A woman in a short skirt is like a slab of steak to a hungry dog! Stop shaming male sexuality! (implying that men are animals with no control over their urge to rape)
Which one looks more man-hating?
As for TyphonBlue, it does seem she was trying to invert the sexes to make a point, and in light of the comment she’s replying to I can what she was saying. On the other hand, she’s said such horrifying things about rape before that while I’m slightly embarrassed about taking that passage at face value, I don’t think it was unreasonable of me to do so.

And I’ve just gotten to the calls to starve the troll, so I’ll stop now.
Eurosabra: sneaking in and making light jokes doesn’t erase your history here.
Just FYI.
Acting like the past didn’t happen doesn’t undo it.
Shrug. Yes, I’ve got a lot of stuff to work through, and I have to concentrate on not doing crappy actions out in the world while I mend my patterns of thought. I’m sure someone will always throw it back at me on the next PUA thread.
…you’re not working through ANYTHING. You are defending.
That’s totally different, dude.
Um… What does any of that have to do with you coming here and making dumb jokes like we don’t all think you’re a creep? Is that how you think you’re going to mend your patterns of thought?
Throw what? Your quest for self improvement? The fact that you have issues? The things that you’ve said in the past?
Are you complaining about the fact that you can’t post in every single pua thread without us remembering who you are and what you’ve said?
Eurosabra: Are you still promoting game?
If so, then it’s not past actions being thrown in your face, is it?
Today Eurosabra wants free therapy. Tomorrow a free dom.
“JEEZ, a guy tries to make a lighthearted joke and everyone starts bringing up the multiple occasions he defended and espoused manipulating and deceiving women in order to have sex with them!”
You’d think a proponent of “mild gaslighting” would appreciate the way we don’t let him determine the topic of conversation.
We will fight to force you to agree with us! Or pretend that you do, anyway. Also LOL at Anita Sarkeesian’s media empire, which seems to consist of a YouTube channel. You too can have your own media empire for the low low price of…free!
Meanwhile, Eurosabra could further his plan of doing good actions out in the world by respecting the clearly expressed wishes of most of the commenters here and going away, but instead he’s still pestering us. I guess he must not be all that committed to the “good actions” plan.
Also I vote “yes” on the idea of ignoring Fedora until he gets bored and finds another blog to troll.
Again, I feel compelled to defend the lighter and more positive side of PUA when David posts on the rapey outliers. He doesn’t have to allow me to post, and you don’t have to engage with me. I am sure the phrase “lighter and more positive side” will evoke guffaws from such an irrevocably balanced audience.
“irrevocably biased audience.” I can too English, and that’s real.
You clearly can’t manners or boundaries, which is unfortunate.
…is still sexist and manipulative as all hell.
It’s not that we don’t get what you’re saying because we’re too focused on the many actual rapists within the PUA community. It’s that what you’re saying is some dehumanizing garbage.
“I feel a deep compulsion to defend a movement even though that movement openly supports and praises rapists and accounts of rape, because people might think badly of it for supporting rapists”
is not a compelling reason.
So you want an anti-PUA echo chamber, yet David for whatever reason doesn’t enforce it with bans/blocks. I suppose you think letting me post here undermines PUA for the lurkers.
Actually at this point my biggest issue with him is that he’s been told repeatedly that he’s not welcome and he refuses to leave. In the context of a person who’s preaching PUA the implications of that should be fairly obvious. His continued presence here proves that we can’t trust any of his claims to respect women’s boundaries while in PUA mode.
Um yes, because PUA is obviously false sexist bullshit, that most of the time ends up supporting rapists.
I’d be in favor of a “sky-is-blue” echo chamber as well.
HAHAHAHAHAHA YES YOUR ARGUMENTS THAT YOU NEED MANIPULATION TO GET SEX CLEARLY WILL SWAY NORMAL PEOPLE TO YOUR MOVEMENT OF RAPEY ASSHOLES LOL
Also, yeah, fuck off.
No-one here is going to agree that emotional manipulation and abuse is justifiable for any reason.
You do not have a moral responisbility to the rapey assholes of the world to try to defend them.
There is no reason for you to be here.
