1. Hello IM. Thank you for putting in your two cents and sharing your insight. I came to this site after googling certain thoughts and questions I was self inquiring on and your blog just fully elaborated and logically disseminated them in an eloquent yet simple style for a person of average intelligence to digest.

   1. Hey, IM which article is this quote from?

      “But I digress. People have to find these kinds of sites organically and come to their own conclusions, and not proselytise, this is not a .”

   2. My perception and success with women have been enriched over time since I started feeding on your contents. Virtue signalers and simps have falsely glorified many women while guilt-tripping many men, but the red pills you spill on here remain the ultimate guide to male dominance and the access to women’s true nature.
      You are highly appreciated.

2. First, I’d like to start by saying in world of “grand missconceptions” pertaining too all aspects of dealing with the feminine form. By far you have clearly enlightened the host of men following your Blog! A great justice you have done for your brother Man. I tip my hat to you Sir!

   I have been pondering this question? And after pouring hours into reading through the archives. Most enjoyable. I have not been able to determine the answer I seek. Simply put. Can a man ever regain the amount of “value” with his significant other once that has begun to diminish in there relationship?

   1. I Believe my inquiry has been unearthed.

      “IM MAXIM #24: “If a woman is with a submissive man trying to become dominant, she will utterly oppose him. She has accepted he is submissive and so she revels in the power her control gives her. If he becomes dominant, she loses the power and resources her monopoly granted her. And she will never forget his old ways. She will never really believe he is a worthy leader.”

3. This is a very interesting website, thank you for providing men with this information!

   With that said, I’d like to ask if you will ever update the Dark Triad to the Dark Tetrad? I would like to see how Sadism fits in all of this. And if you do, it would be wonderful if you’d make articles on how to utilize it.

   Also, is there/will there be an article on how to utilize narcissism?

   1. Yes to narcissism. No on sadism.

      1. I remember how you mentioned in Mailbag June 2015 you touched on ‘how to use the ego productively’. Myself, being raised by a single mother, I know for a fact my narcissism is underdeveloped or it could be secretly destructive (less likely). I can easily bring it up by hyping myself up everyday, however, I know there is a lurking danger of being a slave to my ego. How can I develop healthy narcissism or at least one that I can use for my own benefit?

         1. Positive self-affirmations, glib rejection of criticism without thought and maintaining/enhancing your appearance will build narcissistic confidence. It will also enable you to act more boldly, which will reap rewards and encourage even further confidence. This is something of a terse response; I hope to write something more in-depth on the topic in the future. Of course, when it comes to such matters, time is never quite on our side.

      2. IM maxim 37: marriage is security for women at the expense of mans freedom, traditionally man were given certain power to compensate for burden of loss of freedom.
         what powers was it that men were given for the “burden of loss of freedom”?
         glad to have discovered your work at 18

4. Your site has been great for me. You have uncovered and clearly explained the truths of which I recently became aware. Having been a beta for so long, and seeing it never get me anywhere but hurt, I now know how I have to be in order to(hopefully) have a family some day.
   I know all the risks involved, but I will still shoot for having a family. I am 28 now. I wish I would’ve known this stuff ten years ago. Oh well…no time for weakness. Thank you, Illimitable man.

5. I was turned on to your site because a friend of mine believes this stuff like this is the word of god. I’m sure that you have every good intention of helping people and helping yourself (not money wise but therapeutically). The problem is, my friend is following this stuff to the letter of the law and its so horrible to watch him go through this process because of this site and other “red pill” sites. I looked at what he was reading and I saw the most ridiculous posts and topics.

   This site, like others like it, play off of the vulnerability of people. I watch my friend look at everything different because of this brainwashed bs. I feel sorry for him and can’t do anything about it because he totally buys into this. Your print is not fact and thats how you write. You write as if you found out the key to life and everyone else are idiots. Live life and know that there are many different things out there. Everyone is different yet it is consistent in your writing that women act in certain ways and there is no other way about it. The same things you say women do, men do just as much. I tried looking you up to see who you are because I keep telling my friend that you are probably some looser in a basement yelling for your mom to make you meatloaf still pissed off you didn’t go to senior ball. I’m not trying to be mean to you but I’m trying to help my friend out and bring him back to reality and trying to question why he should believe what you write to be true when he has never met you, doesn’t know anything about you, your past, or why you starting writing this in the first place.

   I do commend you for setting up a blog and writing what you believe in but the way you write is sucked into the heads of very vulnerable people who probably hit a major road block in their life and are now, at this point, weak minded. i wish you could word things better rather than say portray that you are writing facts. i don’t see in any of your writings you talk about experiences you have had. i just see you creating situations for people to question everything in life to such an extreme and radical extent that they are afraid to live. my friend will probably never have a genuine relationship anymore he will probably be afraid to take the first step because all he will see is every negative thing 20 miles down the road. he won’t truly trust anyone anymore because he was abandoned by the people he loved the most and this site is expanding that distance.

   I’m kind of rambling now and I’m not going to bother editing for grammar or spelling but i just want to remind you how fragile people are when it comes to this and you are definitely getting those peoples attention and i don’t believe you are helping.

   1. I could have censored this (I haven’t) because I’m a reasonable guy.

      I could spend time refuting every element of your long-winded waffly argument (I won’t, because you don’t actually invalidate how anything on this site is wrong with valid counterarguments)

      You have posted a dissenting opinion, rather than, a valid counterargument (counterarguments explain, with logic, why X assertion is wrong with Y reason). Your argument is as such just a series of baseless emotional assertions eg: it plays on peoples vulnerabilities.

      OK, well I think McDonalds is playing on fat people’s vulnerabilities too, why are they still in business? Some people will never be thin ever again because of them, it’s not like, you know, people have self-control, and things called choices. And that, this website, has an X button, you can click it and never come back and I won’t hate you for it or care that you did it.

      But I digress. People have to find these kinds of sites organically and come to their own conclusions, and not proselytise, this is not a religion, and we don’t really care about spreading the word. Your friend is an idiot for showing you this site, we always tell people in the community not to discuss or share it with people who don’t grasp the reality of women, because like you, they assume we are “evil” or “exploiting people” simply for having a different outlook than them.

      And people like that come on here and suck up our time with their disagreement. OK, you disagree, then stop reading and go away. You have a life, you have choices, you don’t have to read here. So don’t.

      We don’t have time to constantly argue with brainwashed people who have been fed the bullshit their whole lives about men and women being equal. We honestly have much better shit to do, you know, like becoming better men ourselves and giving suicidal men the mental toolkit to get their lives on track. Why do I mention suicidal men? Because society doesn’t give a fuck about them, and I’ve had countless emails from men telling me this site saved their life, their words, not mine.

      As for “you write like its fact” – it’s simply my philosophy, Nietzsche and Schopenhauer wrote their philosophy “like it was fact” too, it just so happens that, philosophy is opinion, and you don’t litter it with qualifier mitigating words like “possibly” and “if” and “most but not all” just to assuage the nitpickyness of people who disagree. You have a brain, you can choose the parts you like/see the merit in it, and reject those you don’t like or can find no use for.

      If your friend believes everything he reads without questioning it (not actually something I encourage, I’m constantly trying to push critical thinking through this site) then there’s nothing I can do about that. Impressionable people are everywhere, and it’s not my responsibility to ensure they have the mental faculty necessary to think more critically. Chances are, your friend is nowhere near as hopeless as you suggest, but in fact you’re the hopeless one, and he showed you this site in an effort to help you, only for you to word vomit all over its creator.

      1. I was thinking about the difference between: “damn, someone misinterpreted what I wrote; well, it’s his responsability but that’s sad” and “damn, someone misinterpreted what I wrote; well, it’s his responsability, who gives a shit?”. It would be like witnessing someone losing his legs in an accident. It’s his responsability and it happened because of his stupidity: one person feels bad for him anyway and the other one thinks “he was stupid anyway, he deserved it” without an ounce of compassion or empathy. The thing is, it wasn’t about you but about me. I find myself incapable of reacting with the second option and it makes me question whether it’s a flaw of character/bp trait or if it’s fine (even if it’s not being a bad ass dark triad psycopath).

      3. You assume that you have only two choices, either to be empathetic or to judge. But you are missing another perspective. You can just observe what it is as it is without your evaluation of good vs bad.
         When you look at a zebra being eaten by a lion you can make a statement that zebra is a poor creature, and lion is therefore psychopathic demon.
         Or you can think that zebra is stupid, it shouldn’t run so slow, therefore it supposed to die. The thing is that your emotions don’t help you to evaluate reality as it is. You can see it from the neutral perspective and make the conclusion that sometimes zebras are being eaten by the lions.
         Also than you can see that zebra are poor innocent creature AND zebra is stupid as well as lion is evil demon AND hungry poor cat that doesn’t have a choice AT THE SAME TIME.
         The thing is that your empathy doesn’t make you morally virtuous, it can only give you an illusion of making you so. You don’t care about all the things that you are not aware of, and you are not aware of almost all of the things. So don’t pretend that you care about strangers, because you don’t.

6. hey IM

   why is it that people get so angry when I use your philosophical teachings as a means to defend my point of view? I do not understand why people are so quick to anger, and they usually end up name calling, lashing out etc. I remain calm, but utterly confused on the matter. what is your answer to this dilemma?

   thanks

   1. Closed-minded people do not want to know or even ponder the truth, they simply want their opinions confirmed. You’re challenging their opinions and that’s what they have a problem with. A waste of your time, I wouldn’t bother. Don’t proselytise change, be the change.

      1. Ok, thanks IM!

      2. Thank you for helping men and women caught in the Rat Race. What I found strikingly odd is that upon reading your articles and gaining different perspectives of events I and others go through, I found myself more content with my decisions and more structured. As if learning hidden logical perspectives gave me a calmness about my demeanor and confidence in my mindset.
         I usually find that the more truth I seek in this world, the more dissapointed and depressed I become. We all want truth but as I’ve found truth it opens up a reality that we’ve all been blocked from seeing. It can be quite overwhelming. But your articles aren’t just truth but ways to live by them, it gives hope of a stronger way, and decreases depression for those who don’t understand why certain things happen. I can see where it helps those who are suicidal like you’ve mentioned and that makes a difference. Blogs like this are harder to find because you actually help change people from the status quo. That makes you a threat to those who have agendas to push. Who would have thought that just changing someone’s perspective on their lives would change how they operate and would cause many to step out of line? Almost every great invention came from people living on your continent who weren’t in line.

9. Hi Illimitable Man,

   I’ve stumbled upon this blog just about 3 days ago, and I’ve been reading through most of your previous blog entries – I have a question. I want to try my hand at Monk Mode after reading your blog about it. I’ve noticed you’ve considered watching porn, a waste of time and I would like to hear your thoughts about the NoFap movement,

   Thanks for sharing your thoughts,

   Best Regards

   -Mark

   1. Mark,

      No fap has biological imperatives. Masturbating, particularly daily raises Prolactin levels, which is the hormone that women create to lactate, or have milk from their breast. Prolactin in males is inflammatory and is correlated with increases estrogen. Watching porn also down regulates dopamine receptors and decrease individuals drive and pleasures from daily activities. Testosterone and zinc are also lost in masturbation. However with real tesestosterone raises.

      It’s even hypothesized that these adverse effects of prolactin, which only occur with masturbaition are a biological mechanism to emasculate and weaken a male who was faily to breed in ancient times to kill him off quicker. As a male without sex, could potentionally spread his seeed to the species. This is just theory tho.

12. IM shakes and sweats nervously as he talks total bullshit about people. Complete fake persona. Zero credibility. Portrays an aura of toughness and disconnection. But a blockbuster movie star is a brilliant actor. He is like Fredo in the godfather “I can teach you things I am smart not like everyone says” A total and complete loser. I mean. If IM was to take an IQ test he would flunk it for sure. Not even a lifetime supply of fish oils could raise his IQ to that of a moron.

    I mean with all the studying and reading this little man does all he has to show for it is a website online. Theory is useless without practice. He has worked so hard throughout his life and has so,so, so, little to show for it. He is no logician, but a sophist. A bad terrible one at that. Aristotle would find his work very very disappointing. I mean I have people. Lots of different people. Complain to me all the time that this site is a load of shit. Isn’t it amazing? It would have to be one the worst self help sites online. You can say. Well, don’t read it? But, I don’t mind. I really really don’t mind wasting my time to save people who want to learn by warning them not to waste there time.

    This is a terrible site. A super super terrible site. Just google the website Alexa ratings. It gets like negative 3 views a month. Like honestly, what a failure. I have a new special for “IM” I find that very funny to. He is a little bit of a retard if you know what I mean. Like that Steven Hawking. Oh. Oh, oh. That guy. I mean IM Is like a fetus that raised itself in a dumpster feral you know. That’s what it looks like. Like a bottle of astro glide which was flipped on its side. Very Very greasy. I would like to see him in real life. Let’s see how tough he is against a 2nd amendment.

    Anyway, we know IM is a lighweight. And will never actually come meet my 2nd amendment. Which is sad, but ok. We know he is relatively unremarkable. Unintelligent. Useless. And a complete nobody. And holds power which is only confined to the realms of online Reddit communities and insidious message boards.

    IM EDIT: Your vitriolic comment that will make people want to leave the comments section wishing they could get a minute of their life back can stay, but I’ve removed the self-promotion.

    Not to mention the fact the writting is done by quite an intellectual with use of sophisticated and intricated words helps my ability to articulate in english.

15. I wish i had the authority to tell people how things are. Where did you learn that the knowledge on your blog is the truth? Id like to check your sources for their credibility..

    I think most of what you pedal here is made up of mere close minded personal observed projectioms your choosing to see, and not anything thats backed up by any credible unbias 3third party, anyone who believes you without checking where this trash you spit out came from first..

    Anyone reading here please make sure you keep your skepticism in low gear and be subjective in the knowledge you read here its only one mans personal opinion and doesnt really offer true strength but of a showboating kind of assumed strength..

    Reply

    1. Credibility? Well, I’d like to check your brain, all the information you have, your ego, your body compostion, and the environment that you grew up in for credibility.

       Philosophy is just made up of opinions from people that like to think differently. Obviously, you don’t want to believe that.

       Has IM even once said in his articles that whoever reads them are ‘obligated’ to believe it?

       At the very least, no one is obligated to respect either of our opinions too.

       It’s either read or gtfo. It’s an individual decision.

    2. Drazil –

       in your post, I “smell” the regular stinking, arrogant and intellectually pretending drivel of emasculated Ivy-league student.

       even your use of language – “…what you pedal here…” – demonstrates your arrogance!

       I am sure you never had the courage to ask your so-called “Professors” for the so-called “social sciences” and the other mumbo-jumbo disciplines (gender-studies etc.) for their sources in order to check-up critically for their credibility!

       you can shove your advice (“Anyone reading here please make sure you keep your skepticism in low gear….”) you know where!!!!

       I do not need to look in the post-modernist, Marxist, semi-intellectual writings of professional-idiots (aka Professors) of yours in order to find whether its credible or not.

       I have my own experience, my critical thinking, my analysis and my hard won lessons as tools for judging the essays of Illimitable Men!

       I agree with IM on almost every point!

       If you, “DRAZIL”, are not a mere Troll and if you really want to open a productive discussion instead of pretending to be intellectual, then please shoot your arguments! until now you made some claims but delivered no arguments/facts/proofs/insights.

    The reason the cuckoo bird is called a parasite is because of their nesting habits. These lazy birds are possibly the worst parents in the bird world. The common cuckoo does not make a nest of its own, and they do not bring up their own young. Instead, the female lays her eggs, often fertilized from different males, in the nests of other birds. Each female cuckoo specialises in just one host species, and lays camouflaged eggs in that bird’s nest. The common male cuckoo bird of course, is just plain cuckoo.

    Throughout my reading I noticed several dead links.
    Link to Issue 11 – Understanding Psychopathy is not available. This article is also referenced Issues 04 and 28.

    Issue 52 features a link to “the psychopathic paradigm” article which is also not available.

    Just wanted to drop you a message to thank you for your efforts, incredible insights, got your audiobook a while ago.

21. This work has saved my life. My experience from childhood and the 2+ year LTR I’m currently in epitomizes everything you describe (so far as I’ve read – chronologically through “The Three R’s”) to a T. This material has already begun to transform my experience from depression, isolation and wallowing to motivation and excitement for acquiring knowledge and choice. This is a rope hanging in a blue-pill pit of despair to grab onto and climb to the light and air.

22. Article on whether marriage is worth it in this day and age would be greatly appreciated. Marriage offers little benefits when compared to a long term relationship with a baby mom. Is this the only route to maintain leverage in a relationship as well as avoiding financial risk. Is placing resources above a traditional family unit likely to lead to long term life satisfaction. Not having children is also not an option

24. For anyone looking for IM’s credibility, take a look at Andrew Tate. If you’re not an idiot, you’ll see the congruence in IM’s statements, Andrew Tate’s actions, and the results.

    I know for a fact this is the information Andrew Tate used to rise to power. He used all of this information. From the knowledge on women to how to become a dark triad machiavellian. Are you in contact with him and what do you think of his forseeable demise? He is the strongest machiavellian case study imaginable in the modern day and no one is seeing it. Where on his chess board do you think he went wrong?

    Andrew tate monopolized the information in this page and is selling it to his audience while utilizing its tactics at the same time. Smart guy. But he took it too far.He’s finished in my opinion, but there’s lessons to learn. I want to be the first one to publicly say this shit. IMO, I believe Tate knew his business model could land him in jail. He’s way too introspective of an individual to not have an understanding that his methods were in the grayish red area. He didn’t anticipate the extent of his rise to fame, and he just let his psychopathy run rampant thinking he was invincible, and now his dark triad machiavellian tactics got exposed with his webcam industry and war room. Also, he assumed Romania was a safe space to tell the world exactly what he was doing in course format which was the wrong move as well as we can clearly see. Tate made it too easy for them to take him down because he actually did something which the public eye would deem as wrong and ‘they’ will not pass it up as they want him gone either way.

    Bro, I’m a very curious teenager. Did the guy consult with you privately or not? just say Yes, no, or Maybe. I have an action plan in my head which he could’ve done which would’ve granted him access to the governmental power he was striving for. which could’ve let him control the world’s agendas without having to end up in jail at the end of it. and obviously it utilizes dark triad traits.

    If you answer my question, I’ll email you the correct steps he should have taken and I am 100% confident the knowledge I have would’ve worked and I also know exactly why Tate didn’t see it himself. Also, if anyone has ALL of the war room leaks, send that my way as well. I’ll give you this guide in exchange for that too.

    If you want to contact me just drop an email.
