>The manic pixie dream girl is a sexist trope that harms women by catering to the male fantasy of a mate that is interesting and pleasant to be around.
Is this accurate? Women seem to despise the archetype nowadays.

First, who the hell would date someone who's boring and unpleasant to be around?

>Women seem to despise the archetype nowadays.
According to whom?
>First, who the hell would date someone who's boring and unpleasant to be around?
Straight men
I'll never understand the furor over MPDGs.
Just look at media women like:
>Normal-looking HS girl has a vampire protector boyfriend
>Nurse time-travels to date a Scottish lord
>Mousy college girl dates a BDSM billionaire
And the extent of male fantasies is usually just "guy has a girlfriend who is quirky and pleasant to be around" or "guy goes on adventure with a cool tomboy".
Normie women actually call girls who have hobbies or act nice to guys "pickmes". Acting like having a pleasant personality or interest is cheating at the dating game. It's pretty lol.
>According to whom?
According to the women who used to be that 15-20 years ago and aged out sometime inbetween and can nolonger get the attention they once got when they could pull off the look.
I downloaded a torrent of rose and I still want more. Has she done anything with her physics degree?
>a torrent of rose
Did it include the travel blog? I've always wanted to read those but I can't find them anywhere
I don't know. It is mostly her in a room talking about anything anyone asked her. In a now defunt website called vyou or something.
Link?
Wasn't she studying physics at university years ago? Perhaps something related to that
Plot-twist:
People hated manic pixie dream girls since they became a thing in the 50s, because they promote the absolutely obnoxious behaviour as "quirky"
I've dated girls you could classify as "manic pixie dream girls" in the past. Day-to-day, my thoughts ranged from "I am having a great time" to "I'm going to murder this b***h." Not for the faint of heart!
I want the dizzying highs and the terrifying lows, I can't go back to the workaday life.
does dating a girl with bipolar disorder whobhad rried to kill hwrself and was found bleeding out on the floor count?
No that's just the danger zone
No because it’s even more based
>t. Had two different girls send me pictures of them slitting their wrists in high school saying it was my fault, even though i broke up with them because they were talking to dudes on the side
>fantasy of a mate that is interesting and pleasant to be around
holy kek
why the tattoo? I would have married...
Silence, Hindu
I believe she had scarring from an accident or a surgery or something and tattooed over it.
>I wonder what she actually does in her everyday life.
I wonder this too. She still shows up for Christmas lol.
I find most passport bros cringe but they've got a point.
I don't think Rose is manic
Rose really fell off.
I guess there are thousands of girls like her now that you can find online, on easy and accessible sites like YouTube or tiktok.
I wonder what she actually does in her everyday life.
>I guess there are thousands of girls like her now
name one
idk I have my twitch harem
You poor basterd.
>finish my 16 hour shitft and come home to house that smells like cat shit, garbage and cheap shampoo and a microwave dinner left on the counter past eatable date
>"sorry honey had to stream"
WHAT A LIFE
gross
marketing head at lidl (formerly cashier)
She's an engineer who gets paid big bux and spends more than half the year traveling.
She does the Christmas thing because she enjoys it, not because she ever has to.
I wanna frick her in the ass right now
How nice of you, giving her some appreciation.
American women despise anything that requires any effort or having to be the one trying at all. They're all fat, stupid, lazy, arrogant, and gross. If it requires more than slapping on yoga pants and sitting on their stupid fricking phone they b***h about it.
Yeah, they’re Americans
They feel threatened by the younger cooler funnier girl, that's why the whole "you're 30 date someone your age". But falling for the initially hyper compatible girl is stupid too, I've seen men destroy their marriages just to end up alone (watch Anomalisa).
Women will also shit on any girl who puts an effort, since they depend on the collective agreement of passivity for it to work. Imagine if half the women started to be active in dating, why would a man choose one that just expects things from them without giving anything back? They call these girls "pick mes".
Women have an instinct to become what a man desires. The capacity to actualize male fantasies is the basis for the entire female social hierarchy. This is why women browse here while virtually no male poster is interested in crystal cafe or the alternatives. Because they are fascinated by what men desire. Because they have an instinctive need to actualize these desires into reality.
The MPDG as a trope therefore commits two cardinal sins:
>it is an ideal women find uncomfortable to emulate
>A low value male is the one presenting the ideal
Thus the only women who do emulate the MPDG are BPD women, because their extreme fear of abandonment overwhelms the natural revulsion they otherwise feel. But they can't keep up the charade for long. Sooner or later the real personality of the BPD woman emerges. Which is why lots of men don't like the trope either, because after being in a relationship with a BPD woman you cannot help but associate the entire trope as a mask concealing the monster beneath.
Dude, you don't seriously think that every fun, extroverted woman is actually mentally ill. Some people are just genuinely positive and outgoing. I can't relate to them either, but they exist.
>Some people are just genuinely positive and outgoing.
MPDG doesn't mean fun and outgoing. It means manic.
Good post.
Know your place prostitute.
Rose is 35 to 40 years old now. Definitely probably has manly Male Pattern Baldness at this point
doesnt do anything to women, they just dont like seeing men happy.
it does harm men thoughever because it tricks the inexperienced into believing women are capable of being truly unique. it serves as a genesis of simps, and leaves them vulnerable to bpdemons and grifters
it's why i cant stand watching moe anime and just about anything else that idealizes women. its nothin but fake ass shit that makes my skin crawl.
>it does harm men thoughever because it tricks the inexperienced into believing women are capable of being truly unique.
True, if you don't know better you get a bad case of oneitis like me. It's hard to see clear and realize that what makes her unique is present in millions of people.
>it serves as a genesis of simps
Or the opposite, you learn from the experience and finally see women for what they really are, but yes it's a coin flip
Wisdom.
My first serious relationship was an MPDG that I had known since we were younger than 10. She looked me up after highschool and we reconnected and she was like Natalie Portman in Garden State.
Then when we moved in together it became "sit down, shut the frick up and be glad you know me." She had sprung a BPD trap.
I broke up with her after two months. It was insufferable. Everything was a massive fight and she would cause scenes in public over perceived social slights.
They rebranded it as "pick-me girl".
I miss her terribly
her departure has left a gaping hole in my soul
The idea of caring about people who you will never meet in what seems to be an explicitly romantic way out of you people is so pathetic to me that it's unfathomable. Please at least live to be 30 so you can get the frick over it.
If you're past that age and you still feel this way about Rose it's permanently over for you and you need to do ANYTHING about it immediately. Check yourself into a ward if that's what it takes.
sovlless gremlin
nice try rosie you wont be getting rid of us that easily
zero empathy
breasts or gtfo
Rose would've turned this into a video packed with soul
the human brain has not evolved to comprehend technology and that the person you are looking at on the screen is not there
>having a woman be interesting and pleasant to be around is now an impossible fantasy that not even other women agree with because it's simply far too much to ask, period
Look I know there are guys that are complete losers that are batting out of their league but holy shit. At this point I just think everything is pretty awful and you either luck into something or you just have a good time by yourself and with your friends.

The vast majority of women simply want to be bitter, miserable c**ts that drag everyone else around them down, and want to be congratulated for it.
Women are basically like the shitty boards on Cinemaphile. They WANT to be miserable. Complaining is their hobby, making everyone else miserable is what they do for FUN.
A group at Harvard did a study and discovered that women are happiest when the men in their lives are miserable.

There is men that do this. If you have ever entered a new social circle or go to a new environment there will be someone that will deliberately sabotage and work slow your duties. I was friends with someone that would gaslight by inputting himself in memories that were recounted to him. No goal, no gotcha. just
pathological lying and no regret when called on it.
I like things that harm and annoy women.
Me too.
stop partaking in gender wars. they're a israeli divide and conquer psyop. men and women belong together.
Women belong in hell.
Good post
Should also stop whinging about boomers or zoomers or millennials or whatever, Americans (online) are absolutely insane trying to classify everyone like that and acting like everyone in the same group is the same
>stop whining about millennials
Lets not get too carried away here
>men and women belong together
right until your sweetie of 10 years decides shes gonna ruin your life forever.
Nah man. Your halfhearted appeal to antisemitism isnt disguising you for the basedboy that you surely are. Theres a social imbalance between the genders which benefit women vastly more than they benefit men, and youd do well to have that on the back of your mind. The thing that you call "gender wars" is really just the collective realization that men get the short end of the stick. Im completely fine with having a tougher life because that means i will have a more fulfilling life as well, but women WILL abuse their privileged status and will walk all over you if you let them. Everything falls on men and women are absolved of any accountability, and they're even allowed to kill their offspring in lieu of accountability in some parts of the world. Imagine if men were the ones who'd have to give birth? Would anyone ever champion abortion? OR would it be universally recognized as the despicable and coward act it is?
Women take mens suffering for granted. You shouldnt be with someone that doesnt appreciate your effort and your sacrifices. I have mostly nothing against women as people (though i do think theyre mostly dumb), but woman isnt just a gender, its a title.
>Imagine if men were the ones who'd have to give birth?
Gender dynamics would most likely be completely flipped and there would be a woman making the post you're making now with the genders swapped.
I almost married a manic pixie dream girl
She was adamant that she was not a manic pixie dream girl and that such depictions were fetishistic, I think she even told me about this while we were on some crazy adventure her weirdness caused
That's because it's about hosting men and their interests and desires. They didn't mind it when David Tennant was doing the same shit as the Doctor.
Eternal Sunshine and 500 Days of Summer are basically anti manic pixie dream girl films and aren't bad, they're both wonderful movies. That being said I'm so sick of people shittin on the manic Pixie dream girl, mean should be allowed to have desires and fantasies too.
-troony
Why were boomers obsessed with this type of girl?
>were
I still am.
It's more of a Gen X and Millennial thing actually.
Boomers paired off with people because they were looksmatched and because getting married and starting families was just what you did. My parents have hated each other as long as I can remember but never divorced.
Millennials were raised to expect great things. That everyone would have a cushy office job if they went to college. That the future would be great. And your mate should be someone interesting to talk to, someone who can fight by your side, someone who brings out the best in you.
The subtext of Manic Pixie Dream Girls is that you can have the good parts of a BPD gf(high sex drive, willing to ask you out first, molds herself to your hobbies, vivaciousness, etc) without the bad ones(turning on you like a wild animal randomly, hordes of exes and "guy friends" gunning for you, etc).
Or at the very least, you can fix her with a little patience and love. Which you'd think would a sentiment women would try to encourage over the (correct) belief that BPD women are monsters who destroy the lives of everyone around them.
Fourth-wave feminism killed it anon.
cute
You can just as easily argue that the way that criticism is applied is even more sexist than the trope itself is supposed to be. Reducing every eccentric female character in fiction to some sort of fantasy object with no interior world seems to have more to do with policing femininity than anything else.
