It's of course exaggerated here, but the central idea in this pic, that many things are viewed as unappealing when the person is unattractive but are viewed as appealing when they are attractive, is correct. Attractiveness dramatically changes how you are treated and viewed, and changes how things that you do are treated and viewed.

Your attractiveness can even drastically affect your employment and earnings potential. There's a good book on that topic titled "Beauty Pays: Why Attractive People Are More Successful." It's amazing how our physical appearance can so radically shape our lives.

Anyways, the important thing to note is that treating and viewing others differently based on their attractiveness goes both ways. Men to women, and women to men.

A man could easily see a fat and ugly woman who likes a lot of nerdy stuff and think "man, what a socially awkward weirdo" but then see an attractive woman who likes a lot of nerdy stuff and think "that's so cool that she likes those sorts of things, I love nerdy gamer girls!"

I didn't think about it either until I read the book Factory Girls, which is about all the women in China who are leaving the countryside to work in factories in the city. One of the effects of this is that women are choosing to get married later. They enjoy having their own independence and money. And since many of them are sending money home to support their families, they now have a lot of power in the family dynamic that they didn't have before because they were female. It's a really interesting book.

I was thinking that the same thing has happened here too. More women are choosing to have careers and financial independence. I didn't get married until I was 33. And like you, I worked full time and owned a home. I didn't have to rely on a man to support me. I really didn't expect to get married either. But I had the freedom to marry or not marry based on my career and my financial situation.

Start off small in my opinion. If you're hoping to one day be a different person, that won't happen. The thought becomes overwhelming in my opinion. But you can do small things for self improvement. A new hairstyle for example. That's a big confidence booster. Try reading some books to, like No More Mr Nice Guy.

ACTIVE sonar is sending out a ping and mapping the return.

PASSIVE sonar is the hydrophone array - specifically matching heard radiated sound against a database to ID a vessel.

Dig out some Tom Clancy.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Submarine-Nuclear-Warship-Military-Referenc/dp/0425183009

It acts as a reference sourcebook alongside Hunt for Red October.

One of the BEST descriptions of the AN-BQQ1000 array on the 688-class hunter-killer nuclear subs...

If you remember in HFRO and Crimson Tide - once a sub is detected, the array listens to propeller sounds and other noise signature to match the vessel type.

In dating/seduction - the guy has to pattern-match inbound IOIs. But when having to do that consciously - he needs to know what to look for...

They're probably referring to No More Mr Nice Guy, which is based around correcting Nice Guy tendencies. It looks like this meetup is actually related to this book as well.

u/_uncarlo · 3 pointsr/niceguys

There's a book called "No More Mr. Nice Guy" which I recommend to all the nice guys (like I used to be) out there.

And for Rick & Morty fans. This is exactly what Rick tells Jerry in the episode "The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy".

He just needs a copy of The Deeper Meaning of Liff to help him lighten up.

u/EndearingFreak · -36 pointsr/niceguys

This might then however we both are aware you have no interest in challenging your point of view so why bother?

See my comment above.

I was surprised, too. I'd heard of Charles' and Buckingham's adventure in France but didn't realize it included marriage negotiations in Spain, or his little "surprise" for Maria Anna. When I read this book I instantly thought of r/niceguys.

I bet that the DSM-VI will have "media overexposure personality disorder" in it, because that's what these guys (and girls) have. They consume so much media that they lack experience and examples of real relationships, and they don't know how to reprogram themselves to get out of it.

It's been a problem since we started having widespread media access, and a great book that delves into the origin of this is "We: Understanding the Psychology of Romantic Love" by Robert Johnson

Almost everything happens, except for this.

Check this out though, for next time. https://www.amazon.com/Creative-Writing-Dummies-Maggie-Hamand/dp/0470742917

u/AgoraRefuge · 5 pointsr/niceguys

For those who havent seen this guy. It's a trip.

Or read his book!

u/shortc4ke · 13 pointsr/niceguys

There's a book people mention in r/creepypms a lot, I haven't read it myself but want to. It's called "The Gift of Fear" https://www.amazon.com/Gift-Fear-Survival-Signals-Violence/dp/0440226198

u/elohra_2013 · 2 pointsr/niceguys

Buy the book The Gift of Fear and Other Survival Signals that Protect Us From Violence. Highly recommend it.

Humans have evolved certain mating strategies due to sexual selection. If you want to know more, read for instance this:
https://www.amazon.com/Evolutionary-Psychology-New-Science-Mind/dp/0205992129

This thread is ridiculous. Most people have absolutely no clue about human mating, and live in some fantasy world where they - consciously or unconsciously, reject human biology and evolution. Human instincts are far deeper and more influential on our behavior than current cultural trends.

I stumbled on this link on another thread in this subreddit and from there found his Facebook - it's public so you can see most of his rants.

I'd encourage you to do more research. Most abusers are extremely charming and emotionally manipulative. Many abusers seem like genuinely great people to everyone around them because they're not just some general indiscriminate asshole, and they may treat everyone other than the victim very well. There's a book about exactly this, the author did a lot of investigation through interviews with both the abused and the abuser. Most of the abusers saw nothing wrong with their actions because they veiwed the victim as sub-human and belonging to them.

At the end of the day, it's a power thing and abusers use a wide variety of tactics to gain power of their abuser, ranging from physical abuse to often making the victim doubt their own mental facilities through creative methods.

Two of the most fascinating to me were the following.

One guy would hide things his wife needed, like keys when she was leaving, and then watch as she became increasingly frantic. Once she was in tears, turning the house upside down, tearing her hair out, he would leave the keys in an obvious place like a table and say something along the lines of, "look it's right there. I don't know why you can never find things, you're losing you mind"

Another guy dimmed the lights, Everytime his wife left the room and then would adamently deny it, and call her paranoid and imagining things.

u/Erosthete · 27 pointsr/niceguys

Abusers will try to convince you their feelings are the problem. "I was mad, I was frustrated, I felt scared of losing you, I just love you so much". But everyone experiences those same emotions without abusing others.

An abuser does not have a problem with how they feel, they have a problem with how they think. They think they're entitled to attention, care-taking, interest, to a person giving up who she is to focus entirely on the abuser's needs. And when they don't get what they think they're entitled to, they feel entitled to call that person horrible things. They give themselves permission to express those feelings based on how they think.

Never be misled; if someone talks to you this way its not because "they were mad". It's because they think it's okay to express their anger in that toxic unfair way. Read more here if you need

I think the message that women are angels who can do no harm is through ingrained in men's minds. Mgtow is an awakening to these men. If it we're simple stated that women are not that great the message wouldn't get across. So they go overboard stating that women are evil.

Now that has it's own downsides, which is that men become misogynystic.

Is this the handbook you were talking about? https://www.amazon.com/How-Found-Freedom-Unfree-World/dp/0380004232/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1478934969&sr=1-1&keywords=how+i+found+freedom+in+an+unfree+world

What about this book? https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/MGTOW/comments/7xy3p4/how_to_destroy_a_man_now_damn_a_handbook

My point is that there are extremes on both sides of the argument. The core message of mgtow is on their website. https://www.mgtow.com

Do you disagree with anything on the website?

u/MyOtherPenisIsADick · 210 pointsr/niceguys

Only the nicest guys blame the murder victim. That's how you can tell they're old timey gentlemen! It's straight out of Debrett's:


"If a young lady has been murdered by Chad, call her out for the dumb slut she is. Make sure you do it where everyone will see. Manners maketh man, after all!"
