Most of you are familiar with early proto-red pill material from the pre-TRP manosphere. If you aren't, you should be. Go read. Without Rollo Tomassi, the Book of Pook, and so on, we would not be here today. Don't just skim the sidebar. Read it, follow the links, read, lather rinse repeat.
Today, we will be revisiting one of the basics: Iron Rule of Tomassi #6.
Women are incapable of loving men in a way that a man idealizes is possible, in a way he thinks she should be capable of.
Read it, because the devil is in the details:
She’s not incapable of love in the way she defines it, she’s incapable of love as you would have it. She doesn’t lack the capacity for connection and emotional investment, she lacks the capacity for the connection you think would ideally suit you.
Now it's time to refine it from the benefit of our additional five years of understanding:
Iron Rule #6a: If women cannot love you the way you want to be loved, then you want the wrong kind of love.
That's right, it's your fault, not theirs. Women are creatures of emotion and instinct, and what they do precedes from who they are. If you expect women to love you in a way they cannot, you are trying to teach a canary to talk, or a parrot to sing.
How do women love?
There are two kinds of love: Respectful Love, and Protective Love.
Protective love is the love of a superior for an inferior. It is not repelled by weakness or vulnerability. It does not serve, submit, or give up power. It controls, dominates, and protects. It will sacrifice safety and comfort for the benefit of its object, but never dignity. It concerns itself with the welfare of its object, but not with the object's whims or commands.
The Flow of Protective Love is:
Man -> Woman -> Child
Respectful love is the love of an inferior for a superior. It is inspired by strength and self-assurance, and destroyed by weakness or vulnerability. It serves, submits, and gives up power, but does not control, dominate, or protect. It will sacrifice dignity for its object. It concerns itself with the whims or demands, but never the welfare, of its object.
The Flow of Respectful Love is:
Child -> Woman -> Man
Men who want Protective Love from women are broken men. They are idealizing their mothers' love towards them, noticing that it is identical to the love they feel for women, and deciding that's what love is. But such men will never be loved at all until they learn of the existence of Respectful Love, and figure out how to inspire it.
Your woman will never count up the sacrifices you make for her, tally them, mark them, and respond with gratitude, for the same reason that a child will never spontaneously notice the sacrifices of a parent. Monitoring your state, and putting herself in your shoes, would be a Protective act. Parents who have grateful children are not the ones who have made great sacrifices for their children, but the ones who have taught their children to honor and respect them, and show that gratitude.
This is why you must learn to rule your woman, or she will rule you. Because if you love her, she must love you also, else you are her slave. And if you do not rule over her, if you are not superior to her, she will see you as a child in the body of a man, and any affection she ever holds for you will also be blended with contempt.
Women are capable of love. They are capable of self-sacrifice. They are capable of devotion. But to receive it, you must abandon ideals from your mother. You must put away childish things. You must stop expecting women to sympathize with you or be concerned for your safety or welfare. Instead, you must decide for yourself what your needs are, and demand them as a condition of your protection and care.
DoxasticPoo 8y ago
Well, I think this is part of the issue. Women CAN provide that love. Because mothers do. It just doesn't make sense once you're grown up.
This is why boys rebel and separate from their mothers during their teens. They must learn to love themselves, to give themselves protective love. And their mothers must begin the process of switching from protective to respective love.

[deleted] 8y ago
A woman can love you completely and she can get very close to the sort of love you want and desire. The problem is the use by date. All love from women has a use by date. Eventually she will want something more and she will forget all of your past and move on.
If you want that sort of love from a woman (or something very close to it) you need to be the boss. She is in your frame - ALWAYS. You are on a journey and she is blessed to be your passenger and assistant. Any other dynamic will fail. She should love you more than you love her. Even with all of the above criteria satisfied, she is a woman, she will get bored or cheat. Female love has a use by date. The best you can hope for is that you fall out of love before she does.
[deleted] 8y ago
Not agree with flow of respectful love. Respectful love from my point of view doesn't exists. There are two issues: mommy issues for boys and daddy issues for girls. And that's the real flow of respectful love.
RedPillJohnny 8y ago
"...she will see you as a child in the body of a man, and any affection she ever holds for you will also be blended with contempt."
...even if you change and became Chad Thundercock to every other woman on the planet, this woman will still see you as lower than her and a chump and will never give you the love and respect you want in the way you want it.
Great post Whisper.
[deleted] 8y ago
That is a really good, insightful post. Seeking protective love could be rephrased as 'being needy' and 'showing weakness'.
redpillschool Admin 8y ago
I should add that this should come naturally to you as you read the side bar and really take in the red pill. At this point, I don't think I could ever accidentally have "respectful love" for a women. Women are weak. They need protection from everybody including themselves. You can't accidentally respect that if you understand it.
[deleted] 8y ago
Part of growing into man hood for me is the switch of love I have for my mother. It was a child looking up to a wonderful woman who raised me alone. Now in years past I can see myself caring for her in ways because I can see how much she sacrificed to keep me happy. This is something I have yet to see many women my age do, they seem to still bicker and fight with their parents, mothers specifically.
I was told always in school that girls mature faster then boys, yet here I am, in my 20's and I have no problem blowing off any date or friend to take my mom to dinner somewhere nice. God knows she has done more for me then any women ever will. All the while some of my close female friends haven't been home to see their family in months, some cases years, and its always self-serving; Laundry, money, car service.

Yes , they have to mature faster. In time when they can get pregrant , they have to be prepared to care for child at least on basic level.
In that case it's true, 14-18 years girls are more mature than 14-18yo boys.
The real question is , who stops where.
Its quite common to see women late in her 30 acting like 18.
Even 30 old man is not acting as naive as 18 year old himself.
Maturing is not some achievement to unlock , its an ongoing process.
It's like bringing sprinter to ultramarathon. First 100m doesn't matter.

The most deadly thing to a feminist, is a successful, smart, woman raised in a red pill home. Honestly, your daughter[s] could be the one that shifts the balance back in place by making her the worthy one of the true alphas. I can yell "fuck feminism" all day and not make a scratch, but if a woman does, the crowd listens. Pack animal mentality.
[deleted] 8y ago

[deleted] 8y ago
Part of that is no woman wants to raise a "player" "misogynist" or "fuck boy" which is easily confused with an alpha. A mother teaches you how to respect women, on a very basic primal level (Don't rape, don't hit, etc.) The problem comes in with there being no father to tell that boy why he needs to respect humans on a basic level, then use his own power to get exactly what he wants out of life. These single moms think they are raising the perfect man and will slay. But women don't know what they really want until a man shows them. Thus the beta is born on to ye.
koolaid_zombie 8y ago
Oh they do mature faster. Meaning they reach maturity quickly then cease to mature any further beyond that point.
Men mature more slowly and tend to continue maturing for the duration of their lives (if they're smart that is).
Thats why you should never get stuck in the rut of thinking you've topped out in any area of your life. There's always room to grow and improve yourself.

This is why I push people so much to pick up hobbies and find yourself creatively. Since taking on this quest of bettering myself I've found countless hours in my day for guitar, art, reading, and the gym[from cutting porn, videogames, and shit people from my life]. The serious struggle I face every day is making sure I'm doing it for me, because that is such an easy trap to fall into. "What songs would really get a girls attention?" - voice 1 "No! Wrong, learn songs you wanna jam to, make yourself happy, bitches will never care what is played, just that it is played with passion." - voice 2. Men need role models, and daily hobbies, it just sucks that so many men before us have laid siege to generations of pussy from bi-factor of their talent.

This doesn't contradict the explanation of Rule 6 at all. The protective love real men have for their wife and kids ought to make the wife and kids a priority. The problem arises when you expect your wife to be in charge or take care of you the way she takes care of the kids.
[deleted] 8y ago
Really more directed at O'Neal and the misguided tip-riding he gets from Red-pillers.
Trpidation 8y ago
Patrice also wasn't in the same scenario.
Patrice had some flaws to his methods here and there but as a whole the man was a fucking genius. He figured all that shit out on his own through trial, error, and collaborating with homies (he talks about it on Black Phillip). He could play women like instruments without a problem, it's amazing listening to it.
purecyse 8y ago
"Misguided" isn't the appropriate word when people could actually explain why his list makes sense to them.
Should you ever go down, you can't take care of ANYTHING else on your list. You will not be strong and you will not be self-assured as you are suddenly overcome with weakness and vulnerable.
If a lion does not take care of himself, what happens to the rest of the pride?
True, we are not animals but, if you heard Patrice O'Neal open up about his own life, you would know that he saw his career as the main way that he could take care of his mother. He saw his career as the main way he could take care of his girl. BUT, as is what happened in the end, he did not take care of himself to the extend that he should have so the rest of his list no longer matters.

You sound like a very empathetic person. Its great to feel that family and brotherhood bond with others, but very few people have your back 100%. It might be against your personality to be selfish, but you need to be cautious.
vagbutters 8y ago
I completely agree; I don't put all my eggs in one basket, so to speak, as I've known that even family can royally piss you off, and I've been betrayed by some friends before. I can understand that some people can see empathy as a weakness but in your day to day life, and retrospectively when you look at your entire life, the people who are close to you indubitably bring you the most happiness. People who care about you are one of the major pillars of everyone's life. I happen to believe that I'd take torture instead of seeing them hurt

This is pretty much my go to argument for TRP as a whole to non-believers. Men raise adults. Women raise children. Kids need a childhood, fun, memories, bonds, and common sense. But at some point those kids need to grow up, and its a fathers job to ready that child ready for the cruel, unforgiving world. You can't take away any of that equation, which is always best as a team effort.

What are arrest quotas? The US prison system is fucked up, but they can't just put anyone in prison! If someone in the hood won't even learn from all the bad examples around him (that set precedent before him/her), but chose to ignore the consequences and became criminal anyway, whose fault is that?
ImBloodyAnnoyed 8y ago
http://m.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/cops-suing-nypd-police-quotas-arrests-article-1.2549579
Dude I'm with you on personal responsibility.
But let's be realistic. The biggest statical determinant of whether you'll do some crime is your environment. That does not excuse personal behavior but it shows that the issue is more complex.
If you're an ADA, your career progression depends on how many convictions you can get. So you won't prosecute white people with money for lawyers as vigorously as black ones without. They cut deals even when they may be innocent or only guilty of a lesser crime because they cannot afford to pay for bail and be in jail for long. Which in turn lowers their faith in the justice system. And so on it goes. That's just a small wheel in a larger machine.
As said I agree with personal responsibility but I don't think the discussion should be limited to that.
juliusstreicher 8y ago
Why the love for black convicts? White people without money get just as bad a fucking as black ones do. All whites aren't wealthy industrialists who get pats on the back from cigar chomping power brokers.
GermanDude 8y ago
Regarding bail I agree it's ridiculous. I guess the system in the US is indeed quite corrupt. In the end though, I'm sure that quotas alone don't fill all those prisons. Quotas and other abuses (eminent domain) serve to generate revenue for cash-strapped police forces.

unfortunately, the counter argument "well they wouldn't be in jail if they hadn't committed a crime' still holds a lot of water with a lot of (powerful) people, and likely always will.
GermanDude 8y ago
Well, so how is that not true? I don't know ANYone of my friends or acquaintances (including Africans) who even spent so much as a night in a cell, so I am pretty sure being in jail has to do with them having been criminal.

He looks better.
Pull over a single white guy. Run ID. Give him ticket. He pays the fine. Doesn't get arrested two-three years later when he's pulled over for another violations. Just pays and goes.

I will never forget the times maturity was lorded over me like I was the problem, girls pretended that they grew up faster because of their period, make up, and being able to date up in social status, but then it seems like guys just enjoyed more of their childhood then flew past in actual maturity come high school years. Come college years and they might as well be the same 15 y/o girl, just with tits and a drinking habit. Then men are so socially pussy whipped we are borderline lost causes if we aren't innately "hot." I wish I had found TRP at 14. I wish we all had.

Get a pull up bar. Sit-ups are wasted effort until your body fat is low. If the dumbells are heavy there are many good back exercises with them look them up.

And do it from a standing position not on your knees, that's for bitches

I second the Ab wheel suggestion bruh. I personally have an Ab wheel, a door pull up( will build one at home), and a heavy bag. For glutes, do hip thrust and squats. For the back, I can't recommend anything beyond the pull up.
Also, try to avoid crunching your abs too much. And avoind sitting too much too.

This was the big breakthrough for me: realizing that the (protective) love I never received from my mother was the very same type of love I spent my life seeking in all my female partners.

nevercomment 8y ago
/u/Whisper are there any books or articles you recommend (that aren't sidebarred or mentioned regularly) about respect?
This post reminds me of one you wrote three months ago about parents, I'd like to learn more.
And are these types of love an either/or situation (e.g. if she feels respectful love for you, you must feel protective love for her), or can two people both experience respectful love for each other?
Caucasian-African 8y ago
This is concise, insightful, and a true evolution of "proto-red pill" knowledge (to borrow Whisper's term).
When I first accepted that a woman is incapable of loving me as I've always wanted and expected to be loved, I was pissed. But I also knew that my anger would eventually subside to be replaced by a calm acceptance and understanding.
This post embodies this acceptance and understanding, and in fact brings me relief.
There is no reason to hate grass for being green, wolves for eating sheep, or women for being women.
Cant_Tell_Me_Nothin 8y ago
The opposite is also very true. Men who grew up with cold, distant, maybe narcissistic mothers, end up growing up and yearning for the love that mother never gave them. They think other women will fill that void. It doesn't work when that woman is also the woman you want to have sex with.
I grew up this way. I was lucky to end up somewhat good looking which gave me a lot of opportunities with women. But I quickly fucked it up. I wanted women to pat me on my head for my accomplishments. I wanted them to have compassion for me. Sometimes I even wanted them to have pity on me.
I remember a specific moment which was very telling. I was laying in bed with an ex playing around on top of her. For some reason I felt the need to rest my head on her chest and asked her to play with my hair. She physically looked disgusted by it and asked me what I was doing. She pushed me away. This is when I realized that wanting women to love you like a mother is disgusting to them. Literally and Metaphorically speaking, women should be the ones resting their heads on your chest, not the other way around.

I wholeheartedly agree. I'll add that while this doesn't cover much at all, it covers the absolute core cause of BP. That is, this dynamic is at the origin of almost all BP behavior and mentality in my opinion.
This realization involving 'love' set the gears in motion/was my stepping off point into TRP. Though nearly everything in the sidebar does explore this concept- a solid, direct expose on this deceptively simple concept would serve BP better than anything else I can think of.

There never really was a time where men owned women, but it was almost always the case that women had an absolute that men would be able to fill. They needed a provider and without one, it would almost always guarantee destitution. That was as balanced of a relationship as there ever will be.
Now that women have been relinquished from a need for a provider, men can only satisfy one need: lover. If you are not a lover, you are simply a matter of convenience. Your time with any woman will be short and tumultuous.

Correct, but who is saying otherwise, she is my women, if a women is attracted to you , she will love the ideal.
If she is not attracted to you she will value her independence more
You have to understand women want to submit to a dominate man, this man is not necessarily you and it never goes away, therefore she needs to submit to your frame

Depends on what exactly you mean by 'own', but the relationships that were the smoothest and where the woman seemed happiest were those where there was no question about how was leading the relationship (me). I dominated (not in a brutal way, I took care of them, but they did what I told them), they followed, and no ifs or buts. When it was more 'equal' (read, I went beta), there was more drama, neither of us was happy. 'Persuasion' I am not keen on. Verbal gymnastics are women's sphere of influence, not men. Acta non verba.

True. I mean own like property....like no woman except modern real slaves are. Basically the mentality is framed by modern men when his woman cheats on him and he gets mad at the guy for fuking his woman... she was not your woman and never was.
What you are describing is respect. Yes you dominated - via respect.

I see, ok I agree with that.

Honestly, I don't believe women are capable of love like you said. I'm not sure what you'd call whatever it is they do, but considering how fickle they are, their weird twisted brand of love doesn't really benefit a man. Pretty worthless. RedPill men should let go of love.

I'm inclined to agree. When people, men and women alike, hear the word "love", they have a certain notion of it. It includes self-sacrifice - and women themselves do think that they are making "sacrifices" for the men they "love". Women might "fall in Respect", as Warren Farrell succinctly puts it, but, if you analyze it, that wouldn't qualify as "love", even for women.
Also, I'm quite skeptical about the idea that there is love from mothers towards their children. Women "love" even their children based on their expectations to receive care and protection from them. The situation with mothers and sons is I think illuminating: the 80% or more of men that are hopelessly locked into beta behavior are overwhelmingly a product of their mothers, owning to their (mothers) fidelity to the female sexual imperative, to which they are more loyal than to their own sons. If you really love your boy, you at fucking least protect him from becoming a beta, you don't raise him to be one - not even unconsciously.

I've heard of your book, never read it though. I'll check it out eventually. And yeah, I just don't believe women love. It'd be a useless aspect of their hypergamy. Women don't truly fall in love because love would keep them from utilizing their dual mating hypergamy strategy the best. It would force loyalty on them, which is not something they have. Women fall in lust for alpha genes and tingles, but they don't fall in love.
And yup. Most women raise betas. Single mothers betafy their boys. Another reason men are superior to women, as much as I care for my mom.

A woman who feels this kind of love will do whatever you tell her to.
[deleted] 8y ago
And then fuck you over when she meets a chadlier alpha then you. Or just gets bored. Or meets a dude and you're not around. Sometimes he doesn't have to be more alpha, he just has to not be you. Sure its useful to get sex out of her and other things, but can you not just achieve that with tingles? Or does this love of theirs = Super Oxytocin Tingles?

Their love is not something that sustains itself when left unkept, but it is still love they are feeling in the moment. A women will love and worship you in that moment but they are also capable of worshipping another man 2 hours later.

... and you know what? That's OK! That's a feature not a bug, it's part of the package, same as the tits, vagina and soft skin. Don't be bitter about these things, accept them.
It's like you are an employer and you hire a new guy. You train him, guide him, discipline him. And eventually this guy became a great employee, awesome at what he does. But soon an other company - which is seemingly much better, pay better - found him, offers him a job.
What can you do as an employer in this situation? Nothing. You can demand loyalty, but it's a contract. If they found a better job then your company, you can't do shit about it. If he wants to leave, let him go.
In this situation you can understand Briffault's Law pretty easily. On the workplace we are not better then women. For them we are just a 'job', and we can offer < insert some value here >.

Why invest in something fickle like that tho? I'd say get in, bust a nut, get out. Lose her number.
circlhat 8y ago
Everything you say is true and spot on, but we still must understand the concept of best self interests, hypergamy is important to the overall survival of the species but it could be at your expense.
Just because something is natural and intended by nature doesn't mean its in our best interests, it means we should adjust our lives and realize women love differently than what is taught.
We shouldn't put much effort into a women, but rather live our lives and see them as accessories

Excellent post! I see a lot of men growing bitter on women here or in the MGTOW section, which is why I think that the iron rule of #6 is not pointed out enough.
If you try to dictate what others should feel like, it's because you are narcissistic and lack empathy.
DoesNotMatterAnymore 8y ago
Imo it's not all about the rules. If you set a rule, there is a 'why' after it.
Galileo Galilei: "The earth is not the center of the universe!"
Is this statement true? Well it is, but if people has a different believe system then yours, and you are unable to EXPLAIN your point of view, no one will give a shit about you.
OP explained the 'why' with Respectful Love, and Protective Love.

Learning to draw hard boundaries is a solid key here with plenty of material around to cultivate this skill. Most people hate themselves so they are incapable of drawing hard boundaries. They hate themselves so much that it doesn't even bother them when someone treats them poorly. They think they deserve it anyway.
If you just learn to draw boundaries with a girl, and enforce them, you are already above everyone else. You know what you expect to allow someone into your life. And you build that frame around yourself. You decide what you allow into your boundaries and you just bail if someone doesn't respect that.
Know yourself. Love yourself. Become your own best friend. Your spend your entire life with only one person. You. You must meet yourself and find your boundaries. Draw a hard line in the sand. Only those who pass over that line are worthy of the time of your best friend. Yourself.

What is love? We need a very concrete and accurate definition. Otherwise, there will be no one who can learn, from what you teach, to distinguish love (which makes things change the better) from affection, which originates from attachment (which invariably makes things change for the worse).
Nicolay77 8y ago
Ohh do you want accuracy? Then read this first. And understand that love is a very, very overloaded word. No matter how hard you try, you will not find one satisfying definition.
In fact, overloading that word is probably the work of females working on that for centuries, because an overloaded word can be retracted with ease: 'Ohh I didn't mean it that way', 'I love you but only as a friend', etc.
Think about the words the Greek had for love:
It seems Sanskrit had even more words (I found about six, but without a suitable source, they are hard to understand in context).
So, you need probably five or more words to replace the overloaded 'love'.
Good luck.

Love is a simply an emotion men feel that feels good because of the dopamine rushes they get from it. It makes them feel obsessed and attached and happy inside so they'll pair bond, mate, and further the species. Love simply works to make us breed, beyond that It has no purpose.

This opens my eyes wide to my past relationships. 2 of them the women 'wore the pants', and both had lackluster sex and ended with them dumping or cheating on me. The other 2 were times I took full control, and the respect and sex was out of this world - they'd initiate many times and would never say no. Thank you
SwallowRP 8y ago
Same here. The moment my relationships showed my "beta" traits (ex. 'opening up' about things) they set their sights on another branch.
All of the sudden the respect stops, and the women feel that you've been lying to them the entire time by them thinking you're alpha.
[deleted] 8y ago
I may be wrong, but I get the feeling a recent comment of mine triggered this, in which case I am very glad it did. Women are most definitely capable of love, but it has a different basis from a man's love, and the big mistake we make is thinking it is the same. This is why the feminist-inspired 'equal partnership' is such a disaster. Women truly believe they want this, but as in so many things, they have no idea what they really want. If she can't respect you, if she can't admire you, if she can't look up to you, she will stop loving you, it is as simple as that. I have heard women talk about their husbands/boyfriends as 'having another child in the house'. Clearly, the men in those relationships were hooked on the idea of having another mother, but the girl is not the mother. We hear, eg in the theatre shooting in the USA a year or two ago, about men throwing themselves in front of their girlfriends and taking a bullet for them. There are no accounts of women doing this for their boyfriends. But women will do this for their children.
DoesNotMatterAnymore 8y ago
She will eventually fall out of love, but before that (some women!) she will go from Respectful to Protective Love. And that will frustrate the shit out of her. Because she still feels that she loves you, but something is off, something is different. This is when her man stop working on his value, showing weakness (vulnerability is ok, in a small amount, even necessary).

Definitely nice to get a refresher of old concepts once in a while. Your title is a little bland though and titles of posts are crucial in much attention they receive. How's "Revisiting the Iron Rules of Tomassi: Rule Number 6"?
Towerish 8y ago
That's exactly the kind of stuff I want to see on TRP. A short and concise pack of knowledge in an easily digestible form with great effects on the reader.
It's because of the logical reasoning in this post. As we are creatures of logic we are able to draw the full circle through this post. I'm sure that's what Whisper intended.
I'd totally put this on the sidebar.

Very good rewording which makes an already solid concept easier to understand. The concept of two different types of love really ties a lot of other RP theories together well too.
