I'll try to keep this as related to the red pill as possible, however this is the single most important thing that I've learned since my journey into mastering the art of not giving a fuck.
In the past month I have been progressing well in this practice, allow me to explain the premise. Emotions cloud judgement, anger leads to anger-motivated decisions, sadness leads to decisions motivated by sadness, happiness (although this seems like a good emotion) leads to decisions motivated by happiness. I have to acknowledge my emotions, be mindful of them, and let them dissipate through meditation. Only until after I no longer feel emotion do I make a decision, and over the past month I have had to calm down less and less, everyday I get closer and closer to not even feeling any emotion in reaction to anything because I don't want it to cloud my judgement. I have no emotions, I have feelings, instead of feeling mad or sad I think of what I can do to make things better and dismiss the feeling, instead of feeling happy I feel satisfied and content.
I never want to be vengeful, I never want to end up making bad decisions that could land me in prison, in a mental hospital or in any bad situation because of my emotions, as Jesus said (I'm not a Christian btw) "if it is your hand that causes you to sin, cut it off." To the same token it is my emotions that lead me to make bad decisions, therefore I minimize how much I feel them to the point that it does not cloud my judgement, even so much that I am never a party pooper, when I am upset no one around me even knows I'm upset. One last analogy before I tie this back to TRP.
I once had a very beloved Pitbull/Siberian Husky mix, she was my best friend, one day we were headed out for a walk and as soon as I opened the door a squirrel sprinted across the lawn. My dog, realizing the dinner infront of her had sprinted after the squirrel, I still had my hand firmly on both of her leashes (one on her collar, the other on her harness) and my other hand shutting the door as fast as possible. The door came to an abrupt stop, I didn't hear it click, instead I heard my dog squeal loudly, I looked back and saw that I had shut the door on her back foot, she was in pain. I opened the door again and shut it slowly. I began walking forward with my dog to begin our walk and for the rest of the walk I knew my dogs back leg was in pain but if I didn't see it for myself I wouldn't know, she was chasing squirrels, jumping on trees, fetching tennis balls, barking at other dogs, running and walking as if nothing had even happened. I knew she was in pain but it was as if she didn't know she was in pain. We walked back home when I began to ponder why this is, I learned that dogs have evolved to never show physical weakness as they have descended from wolves, in the wild displaying physical weakness was a death sentence, so it was better to just bear through the pain than to cry about it.
Us men must be the same way with our emotions, letting our anger or depression or anything cause us to behave in any negative fashion is social suicide. If your girlfriend just broke up with you and you go out bowling with your bros, you can't afford to be down, you can't afford to be a buzzkill or else they won't want to hang out with you due to your negative energy. We must all be like my dog, behave as if nothing even happened, crack jokes, smile, be positive, being weak makes things worse and being positive makes things better.
How does this relate to the red pill?
Girls will become wetter than a rainforest if they see you as unbreakable, you know what's hotter to a girl than seeing a guy beat the shit out of an aggressor in anger in self defense? Seeing a guy beat the shit out of an aggressor in self defense without getting angry, as if it didn't bother him, just another errand to run, like taking a shower in the morning.
Why is this so?
Subconsciously due to evolution women know that you can handle the worst and become a good father (since that's the point of sex from an evolutionary standpoint), she knows that if everything goes to shit you'll still be positive, you'll still take care of her and the baby, and you will be healthy enough to bring your family back to the top. Anger is unattractive because it's risky to have a baby with an angry man, depression is unattractive for the same reason, happiness surprisingly is unattractive when you're too happy without warrant, because it can cloud your judgement (e.g. Ever been at a party and had too much to drink? Couldn't get a ride home?), nonchalance, control and intelligence is sexy as fuck to a woman. So my advice to all males is to never give anyone else or anything the power to cloud your judgement, meaning, never give anyone or anything the power to make you emotional, there's no excuses.
