“So what’s the deal with the ladies, I mean, what the hell,” Sigmund Freud once famously asked. (I’m paraphrasing.)
Well, let’s say 97 years after he asked that question we men have finally been provided an answer, in the form of a comment in the Ask The Red Pill subreddit.
The topic at hand is “branch swinging,” which is Red Pill lingo for the notion that women generally prefer better boyfriends or husbands to worse boyfriends or husbands, causing them to sometimes swing to a higher branch, as it were, like the evil sexy monkeys they are.
Let’s watch Red Pill veteran oldredder lay down the Truth About Ladies:
Boom goes the dynamite. All your questions about women are now answered.
But to make sure you’ve got it, let me translate what Mr. oldredder is saying from Red Pillian into normal English:
Women are sometimes attracted to more than one dude at once, and so they’ll make sure to look all cute and stuff in the presence of these dudes so they can, you know, prepare these dudes to like them too. And if it turns out the coolest or best looking dude thinks she’s totally cute, SCORE! She grabs hold of his branch, as it were, and SWINGS herself up.
Oh, I forgot to mention the resources. Ladies are totally into guys with resources. Like coal. Ladies love coal. Seriously, guys, you can’t go wrong with coal.
You should probably start carrying a big bag of coal with you wherever you go, preferably with the word “COAL” written on the outside to make sure the ladies know that your bag is full of coal and not something that ladies hate like, you know, worms, or the complete discography of the band Rush, or guys that get advice from Red Pill Redditors?
Anne, Michael Mc Intyre has thought of you 🙂
HAHAHAHAHAHA genuine LOL. Thanks 🙂
The whole movement is just dripping with misogyny, yet when they are called out on it, they either 1) call the poster a feminist/white knight/ mangina or 2) claim they don’t hate women, they just want them to change to their needs/ wants. There’s no use trying to get through with them on why their views of how women are evil, evil bitches.
Those who are in a relationship, play the “dread game” where if the woman doesn’t behave how the guy wants, he would leave her for someone else who will. I read one commenter who said his wife argued with him over something. So what he did was basically use her during sex to get off then end it as soon as he was done. And he kept it up till she apologized to him for her behaviour.
Jackasses, all of them.
If it’s anything like the carousel scene from Contrast, women deserve a little credit.
Thanks all for helping me compile a list of resources for Mr. Atomica to get ASAP. I don’t want to appear unwomanly, hanging around a guy with no holmium.
To be fair, coal is an important resource in Civilization. Can’t build factories without coal.
Tell me about it. I’m on another site where a guy made a thread complaining about he talks to women online for about a week then they just stop responding to him. He feels they’re just leading him on.
A bunch of people responded telling him that a week is a get-to-know-you period, stringing him along would happen over more time than that. A few women have chimed in saying they’d rather just cut off contact than say, “I just don’t think we’re compatible” because a lot of times the man becomes angry then harasses or sends her abusive messages. It’s easier just to cut it off than risk that.
Does that sink in with this guy? Of course not. He’s so steeped in the privileged culture he’s grown up in he expects women know he’s not going to respond angrily to them. It also appears to be very black or white with him. Either you want a relationship with him or you don’t and you must know that right off the bat. There’s no getting-to-know-you period. No finding out if you’re actually compatible. He expects that if he likes some woman, she should just automatically like him back and immediately want to jump into the dating pool with him.
He’s not coming across as some kind of MRA or PUA in his replies, but he is coming across as someone who’s been told all his life that because he’s a heterosexual cis male that he deserves the girlfriend of his choice and just can’t understand why the women he likes don’t always like him back. It’s quite the thing to watch.
I find myself quite embarrassed at some of the attitudes I had as a young (early 20’s… all twenties? Early thirties?) man.
Not abusive (I hope)… but… entitled.
I’m a late-game player in Civ 5, so a resource I’d like is Uranium.
Aluminum if there’s no Uranium, but really, momma needs her nuclear plant and world-domination victory
*cackles viciously*
@Ej
Is the green color a little like…teal? If so, I’ve had that happen to my hair before. 😛
Honey, now that’s an important resource if you want to misander for realsies in Settlers III – Quest of the Amazons add-on. Because then you turn all that sweet honey into mead, and sacrifice that steadily to the amazon goddess, get blessed amazon priestesses, and then go misandering everyone under your warboots’ steely heels.
Like this.

Or load up your war machine with it and subjugate the dudebros.
Thems fightin’ words
The horror. The horror.
I actually saw a film some years ago where an evil alien disguised as a pretty girl went around trying to sperm-jack guys for nefarious purposes involving spawning lots more evil aliens.
One guy got killed because she did a DNA scan on him and discovered he was genetically sub-optimal.
Now, it was pretty clear that she was really an evil alien, but the point was, she looked just like the Hollywood version of a human female, so it’s understandable if these dudes can’t tell whether actual women might be planning the exact same thing.
After all, don’t we all sprout leathery wings and poisonous spinal points during sex?
bluecat: That sounds like Species.
In Redpill land, a documentary.
@David, ImaginaryPetal, WWTH,
“Branch Swinging” actually does mean something fairly specific, and it’s a real thing, though of course not a female thing. The idea is that if each branch is a relationship, you’re swinging from one relationship into another without touching the Forest Floor of Singleness in between. I’ve known both men and women to string along partners they were actively trying to replace. (Also men and women in bad relationships who needed to meet someone better to be motivated to get out)
Kularanini:
The entire movie is “whooboy, somebody sure has issues“. It is like male insecurities at full display; it is not subtext, it is text.
“Is that a stick of uranium in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?”
Probably the carousel because I doubt any of their branches are big enough to get a decent enough grip on
Hello.
Woohoo, 72 words ? Such culture, such literature ! Well, i guess it is a change for the 1 or 2 words usual description (like the one beginning by c and finishing by t) they associate to women.
If i understand well, what they want is not women but sloths, who are not often go from a branch to another…
Have a nice day.
@Carr
I’m noticing the exact same thing–the guy who you date briefly, move on from, and then returns sometime later wondering why you are no longer available is way to common.
I’m currently dealing with this guy who I went out with once or twice a year and half ago before realizing that we wanted completely different things and has decided to give things a shot again even though I have a boyfriend now and doesn’t understand that “I am in a committed monogamous relationship” means that I am not going to have sex with him and when I complained about it to my friends they all have similar experience
@Saphire
I am so tired of having to listen to guys complain about how the girl they like doesn’t want to date them, especially when they realize that women have that happen to them to
To the man who married the woman who was looked at said, “You’ll do. For now.”, you are a complete tool.
