TheRedPill disturbs the hell out of me. Very depressing to see this kind of behavior out in the world. I wouldn't post it normally, because most of these sickos are abusive and their philosophy is toxic, but since you asked:

So here is a funny poo poo test.

quote:

Get this. Happened last night. LTR 2 years.

her: "I hate your beard when we kiss, you should shave it". (First time growing out my beard, super pumped about it. Been about 3 months now).

Me: Ha..ha.. lmao.

her: well I guess I'll stop shaving my vagina then. . . .(she doesn't f* (at work at the moment) without being bald)

Me: You're funny. We both know you don't put out when you are not shaved.

her: "Well I guess we wont be doing anything then for awhile"

Me: It takes two to tango honey.

And that was that. My question is wtf does this mean. Hell no, I'm not going to shave my beard and if I do decide to, it will not be because she told me to do so.

Although I doubt she'll commit to this - I am extremely curious how some of the more experiences RPers would handle this. I sense of few chuckles coming.

How to keep from slipping back to BP when you like a girl

quote:

So I'm new to TRP on Reddit however had already started the journey previously after having a crappy experience with a girl I liked.

So far my favorite RP moment is having met this girl briefly. Got her number, added some mystery/fun to our texts by saying she's a secret agent since she was off to travel somewhere (for whatever). Without even meeting her I told her I had an intense animal attraction to her (she had already dropped hints just with her eyes), she poo poo tested me, I agree and amplified and on our first meeting we hosed, and this continued along with her making me breakfast, lunch, massaging me, etc. A few weeks later I saw her again and I was with a plate. Contrary to my programming I invited her to come join us for a cook off on the beach. After that moment she THANKED me and told me it re-arranged her thinking. She's still into me. Holy poo poo this works...

Fast forward, I meet this girl I start to like, we haven't even met up and we are talking way too much (not just logistics), even to the point of good morning texts, gently caress I really enjoy talking to this girl...(I don't do this with anyone else). She tells me how she likes surprises and I bought her a little gift, gently caress I even paid for dinner when we met up. I had a total relapse and of course it didn't go anywhere. She did make dinner, no sex, no making out, gave her a massage and interest waned pretty quick. We've messaged back and forth a bit since then. I'm tapering that off. I may be able to turn this around if logistically we can meet up again, otherwise np abundance mentality. I see this as a wake up call, this got me to the TRP.

So how do you keep from slipping back into BP autopilot? I'm dialing it back and working on myself.

I don't understand why she sent Ben a Christmas card to his MOTHER'S house, where he hasn't lived for over 6 years! Do I have a right to be offended by this? Should I send a Christmas card to Amanda's husband's mom's house without her name on it? Why even bother sending a Christmas card to my husband if you're not going to include me?

She sent that card to his mother's house because she doesn't like you and/or knew that you'd be tripping about that one bitch sending your hubby a Christmas card and she didnt want to actually cause any drama while also sending a a nice card to her friend. She sent it in November so there would be plenty of time for your husband to see it before the holidays, comma, you dumb person. It could be that, or she's trying to steal your husband by sending a Christmas card to him by way of his mother. Now that I think about it, he's probably cheating on you, at least emotionally. Kill him.

Coming to theaters valentines day 2017

quote:

I [25/F] think I have feelings for the guy [25/M] who bullied me in high school.

I didn't have feelings for him at the time. In fact, I kind of hated him at the time. He was rude, verbally abusive, and he ruined school for me. I was very studious and I had always achieved good grades, but towards the end I would cut class just to avoid him. It was pretty bad. I had no idea why he had singled me out. Of all the kids in school, he really, truly only picked on me. We were too old for the playground theory to apply, and he certainly made his way around the block if you know what I mean, so I knew for certain he wasn't just in denial of a crush on me or something. I doubt he'd have made it a game to see how many times he could make me cry in a week if he had the slightest crush on me. Plus, he always made a point to let me know how completely undesirable I was.

The one time I went to a school dance, he cornered me and told me I looked ridiculous in my outfit, and that I should learn to walk in heels if I plan on wearing them ever again.

In any case I graduated and moved on, and tried my hardest to bury all of that ... until I ran into him on the train to work last month. We hopped onto the same train car and stood maybe twelve inches away from each other for nearly five stops before I noticed it was him. He glanced up from his phone immediately after, gave me a double take and stared back at me for a solid thirty seconds before nodding hello. I was in too much shock to do anything, so I very awkwardly glanced away and pretended to go on my phone.

We've seen each other on the train nearly every morning since. It's the first train into the city, and unless I want to be late for my new job, I have to catch it.

The first few times we ignored each other, and then around fourth or fifth time, I accidentally dribbled a little bit of coffee down my blouse and he saw. He smirked, weaved his way over to me and gave me a tide-to-go pen from his pocket. The fact that he carries one of those lol. Regardless, the stain was fresh and came off quickly. I thanked him and there was a bit of awkward pause, but we eventually got to talking and that's basically how all of this started.

Without boring you all too much, we stand/sit together on the train almost everyday now, and although I was initially skeptical of him, he does seem to have changed quite a lot. We talk about work and the weather mostly, but there is the odd personal question (e.g. the time he asked about the engagement ring I wear on my right hand, the time I asked why he takes the six o'clock train if he starts work at nine, etc.) Turns out we have some things in common. My mother died of cancer just before I graduated high school whilst his mother is currently battling it, so he takes the six o'clock train everyday and visits her at the hospital for a few hours every morning before work.

Suffice to say, life happened. We're both very different from who we were in high school, so when he asked if I'd like to grab coffee some time, I said yes. We met after work one day, had coffee and walked around the seawall a bit, where we finally broached the topic we had steadily avoided until then. He "lowkey" apologized for the way he treated me. Honestly there's nothing he can say/do to make up for what he put me through. Yes, we were kids, and "kids will be kids", but those were crucial years, and I'm not saying he's responsible for the time I tried to take my own life when I was 16, but he certainly didn't help. The only thing that really helped was when my mom got sick. I was forced to grow up really fast and by doing so, I gained a lot of perspective that I otherwise wouldn't have had at so young an age.

This past Monday, he expressed his feelings for me and asked me if I would like to go on a date with him. It was a soft invite, no pressure. Honestly I do like him ... which is odd because until a month ago, he was the only person I had ever known whom I could've said I hated with absolute certainty. I was in therapy for years because of the damage he caused, and now I'm beginning to question everything I thought I knew and ask myself if it was even half as bad as I remember it.

You can't go from telling someone they're disgusting and worthless and reminding them which way to cut, to this, can you?

It's a little more than just a crush at this point, otherwise I would've brushed it off by now. I can't fathom going on a date with him unless we really talk about this.

So my question is, what should I say? How deep should I go?

tl;dr He bulled me so relentlessly high school, I tried to take my own life. We ran into each other on the train about a month ago, and I've slowly come to realize he's a changed person. We've talked, he's apologized to me very lightly as to not patronize me, and there's now a layer of romantic interest which is very confusing given our history. I know he likes me, and I know I like him, but I don't really know if I can do this. Yes, it was a long time ago, but it was also a very crucial time for me (and for him) and now I'm beginning to wonder if it was even that bad. I'm mostly just confused (and slightly embarrassed?) and disappointed in myself for developing feelings for this guy. What should I do? Talk to him about this? Let it go?

I had a friend that I was just BAD friends with 7 years ago and we both "high key" apologized for being lovely people. We didn't antagonize the other or drive them to therapy or Suicide. That was good. That's actually a really good way to start again.

I was pretty lovely to a girl in high school too. It was bad. I apologized to her before we graduated and explained that I wasn't happy with myself, was being bullied myself but it didn't and wouldn't ever actually excuse my actions. Who knows, maybe the guy is low key humiliated at acting like a total loving idiot to her. I'm still pretty ashamed of myself and likely always will be.

True, I guess the proof will be in the pudding if he follows through. She should be cautious though.

If she had said he was straight up "I'm sorry I was a total loving idiot" that'd carry more weight though, I'd think?

From the comments, the apology was "I have no idea why I was so awful to you, and I know an apology won't make up for all the damage I caused, but I'm sorry. Really."

It's not a bad apology, but there's no way that girl should get emotionally involved with the dude without having a really good conversation about the bullying. Even then, probably a bad idea to get into something with someone you have so much baggage with; it's hard to not have old bitterness influence your actions at the very least.

It sounds like she was going through a bad time anyway and he happened to make it worse. I'd bet he isnt totally aware of just how much he hurt her. But like someone else said they probably shouldn't be together unless there's a very serious talk about it at some point.

I am going to their family thanksgiving. My bf and I have been dating for 2 years now (we did break up for a short time after his daughter freaked out, but got back together).
Basically his daughter snooped and found out I'm a cam girl, she hates me for it thinks I'm a terrible person blah blah blah.
She told him he had to choose between me and her.
He obviously wouldnt choose me over his daughter because that's his daughter so we broke up. We got back together (in secret from his daughter) and I have been surrounded by his family for months now. His daughter never comes around or talks to him unless she wants something. I'm not sure if she knows I'm with him again, unless someone told her.
How do I keep the drama down while at thanksgiving dinner? Do I ignore her? Talk to her politely but minimally? Shes the type to run away and cry and cause problems and I am pretty chill and laid back

That's going to be one fun dinner!
