The irony of course, is the second that you do tell a girl like this that she's a dumb racist cunt, 9 times out of 10 she ends up wanting to fuck you even more. But hey... I guess I'm just a keyboard jockey.
I was also very surprised when he turned the convo in theory and praxis, because I never mentioned something about technics, but just that he forget his dignity in this case. So either he is not thinking about things like that or he just didn´t want to understand me.
Hahaha. Yes, you have first to fieldtest that, because until then it´s just a "theoretical after school special"

This about having your values and morals holding to them, even if you want get laid. You said yourself, that you thought: "White girl, please", meaning that you know she is talking completly racist bullshit. Still you escalated. By doing this you set imo the girl above your values (besides being incongruent). Yes, you got laid. But have you been honest to yourself? Imo, no."
Since he didn't specify or define his own values, I'm not sure that he violated them.
Lots of people would place "dispute people who say racist things about your heritage" above "get laid" in their hierarchy of values. I consider that reasonable. However, JT never claimed that his values were in this order. Maybe getting laid matters more to him than telling off a girl for being racist.
Not saying he's right or wrong here - just that I didn't see him going against his own value system.
How much of a failed, desparate human being can you be, if getting laid is more important to you then to be not disciminated against?
Like I said, I would have EXCUSED his lay if he was a newbie who usually don´t get laid at all. It would have been still weak, but I would have excused it. But this guy is famous dating coach, getting laid regurarly (hopefully).
Btw, sex is not a valuembut a human instict. Values are something like morals, higher "behaviour guidelines" like respect, honesty and so on. They are usually always above human instincts.

1) people take "inner game" advice from validation-junkies like that guy, and
2) he doesn't even seem to realize that there's another system of values 8_ball might even have.
Yeah, true. I can see where someone might make the decision he made out of a combination of desire to get laid and determining that he could ignore / bypass what she said. Not "wrong", in my personal opinion, but kind of shallow and objectifying - at that point you're basically writing off the girl's brain and just going for her body.
And for some guys (8_ball), that would be enough to turn attraction down to zero no matter how hot she was on the outside.

Well, that's kind of the point, isn't it?
When you prioritize getting laid over everything else in your life, you end up with... well, dumb racist girls.
To his credit, he does say ejecting if you don't want to put up with it is fine.
Yeah, for him to claim that his way was the only way would be pretty egregious. But he does seem to view taking the "high road" and protesting the racism as merely an ineffective pickup tactic, rather than a morally valuable stance that he couldn't take since he wanted to get laid that night.

What I don´t understand is that ejecting would be fine in his opinion, but after ignoring it ( "Instead you either completely ignore it and eject, which is completely valid if you don't want to be around it, or ignore and and respond with a positive action and push through"). Calling her out on it without starting a debate seems not to be an option for him

But if I was talking to a girl who I knew I had absolutely no interest in past a one night stand, I could see myself glossing over something like this. It's a choose your battles type thing. If all you want is to bang her and then never call her, then it makes sense to just ignore it. If you're screening for anything beyond a ONS though, it's pretty stupid to not say anything.
There was actually a very hot girl a few months ago in Texas who was young (19) and as dumb as a door stop. But I just ignored all the stupid stuff she said and ended up going home with her. I knew I was never going to talk to her again, and that's what made me decide it was worth it. I just wanted to bang her.
I guess this is what you were getting at equilibrium. And I guess this is me throwing him a bone. Assuming he was going for the ONS (which I imagine he was), then I guess it's fine... I think he needs to make that clear though, because I don't think newbies recognize the difference in process between gaming for a ONS and gaming for a girlfriend.
I think there is a BIG difference between a dumb, ignorant girl and a girl who is being racist against you. With the dumb girl you spend a few hours, secretly shaking your head, but you never ignore your values. You just wasting some time in order to have some sexy time; there´s nothing wrong about that.
And that it was just a ONS is not an excuse for that, you still lose some dignity (like Jon pointed out), since you still put sex with her over your values.

RE: Staying true to your own values and morals
Can't believe I missed this whole thread so far. Where have I been?
I've been in this situation several times. Attracted to, or in the process of, picking up a girl and heard something come out of her mouth that was so offensive, I wondered if I could let it slide.
There are 2 ways to look at this, which have obviously been discussed previously in the thread, but I still feel like I need to address them:
Viewpoint #1: She is a "dumb racist cunt" and needs to be put in her place.
or
Viewpoint #2: I'm just going to fuck & chuck her anyway, what does it matter?
Personally, I'm the kind of guy who can't shut the fuck up to save his life. I've started fights at work, at family get-togethers, on the street, with people who have blurted out igorant/racist comments. I have many Arab friends, not to mention blacks & native indians. Racism is probably the one thing i REFUSE to tolerate, even if it's not directed at me personally (As it was in this case).
Obviously everyone's morals and values are different. Mine are probably different from 99% of the guys on this forum. Hell, I don't even have SEX with girls. I try to stay as close to my Christian beliefs as possible. But in my opinion, if you don't stand up for your values/beliefs, you may as well not have any.
In this situation, I would have told her exactly what I thought of her (to clear my conscience) and try to take her home anyway. Like Mark said, often times when you put them in their place, it turns them on even more.
