I remember when i first found TRP almost a year ago. I was amazed and awestruck at how accurately it depicted my life. I remember reading all these new phrases and concise one liners that pretty much explained everything I’ve seen in my life in the context of women. I wanted to immediately go out and try all this new stuff. Apply this knowledge to my life. I got a gym members ship day one. I wanted to share it with everyone. My friends need to know this! Justin needs to ditch his bitch ass girlfriend and this is perfect for him! He’ll totally understand!

Ha.

Luckily I never acted on those latter impulses.


 

Knowledge is Power. Power Is Dangerous

The knowledge and insight you will find on this subreddit is vast and extensive. You can literally find a post for anything you want here on any aspect of your life, personality or relationships.

But it comes at a tremendous cost.

If you misuse this knowledge. If you jump the gun. If you don’t fully understand all the dynamics at play. If you have an inflated sense of ability or ego, TRP will destroy you. I’ve came close and flirted with the figurative reaper a time or two before myself.

Last week I read a story about a guy that approached 100 women on his campus with the same canned pickup line. By lunchtime the school had a service announcement that there's a creepy dude harassing girls and to watch out.

This weekend I had a few guys message me with some problems and the general correlation i found was they lacked understanding of their ability or the situations at hand.

I’ve been seeing an influx of guys coming here and fucking up their life because of TRP teachings and the common denominators seem to be; The Guy overestimated his skills. The Guy didn’t fully understand the social dynamics at play. The Guy lacked the knowledge for the situation. The Guy took TRP to literal and used a cookie cutter answer to a complex situation.

 

All of these reasons revolve around two roots;

 

  • Guy lacks knowledge (Hasn't read enough TRP, Misusing it's teachings, not grasping contexts)

 

  • Guy isn’t thinking for himself (over estimates ability, cookie cutter answers, no experience)

 

Unfortunately the only way to learn how to cook is to grab the hot skillet and get burnt a time or two. The only way to destroy naivety is to get fucked over like that time the used car salesmen told you how awesome this Pontiac Aztek is. The only way to gain knowledge is to study those before you. The only way to understand social dynamics is to go out and actually socialize.

It’s an inevitability that some of you are going to bite off more than you can chew and get fucked for it. Every guy here needs to realize TRP isn’t your savior. You are going to fuck up, accept this. If anything, TRP is going to greatly increase the number of fuck ups you have and the severity of those fuck ups. It’s the very essence of being a man. Any man that doesn’t fuck up hasn’t tried, any man like that is what we call a boy. TRP can’t line out every scenario for you. Social dynamics and human interaction can’t be refined to an equation that can be applied to all scenarios. There are too many variables, to many possible outcomes, parameters and scenarios.

TRP only gives you the most common scenarios we men see. TRP will give you some common answers to these scenarios. But TRP isn’t an equation, it’s a playbook. Its up to you to be your own coach and choose what works best for your given situation. I could give one guy advice that if used by another, would completely wreck his life. Social interactions are completely contextual and have to be reviewed from a case by case bases. It’s one of things I’m very conscious of when writing as it’s hard to cover some topics that can have extremely broad answers or be misused.

 


It is inevitable that one of you reading this is going to fuck up hard. It's your responsibility to make sure you aren't That Guy™.


 

Knowledge doesn't equal Ability

The other common occurrence i see is ego or an inflated sense of ability.

Let’s line this out right now, TRP, knowledge, reading, understanding does not equal ability.

I’ve seen it too many times to count. Some guy reads a ton of literature, then goes out and uses it and it completely blows up in his face.

Why?

Because power is dangerous. And knowledge is power.

I could spend the next year studying, learning and analyzing the dynamics of basketball, or soccer, football, cheese, name it. I could study it.

But guess what, none of that equals ability to play the game.

Don’t let TRP’s knowledge get to your head. It does not correlate to ability. The only thing that will make you better at talking to women, dealing with women, addressing and learning about women is….

Wait for it….

Interacting with women!

I know, shocking right? Here’s my broad advice that can be applied to all.


 

The Absence of Humility Is Not Confidence, It's Ego

My advice is for you to objectively look at your actual ability and experience with women. If you are a virgin neckbeard that just found trp and is just starting to lift, has literally never held a girl's hand then my advice to you is, TRP is really fucking dangerous for you. You are going to be given a tremendous amount of power over a topic you have no experience in. You can catastrophically fuck up your life because you lack the experience and understanding that can only come from actually socializing and interacting with women. You’ll can easily fall down the hole of the guy that thought it was a good idea to approach a 100 women on campus with the same canned line.

If, however, you are a guy with moderate experience and ability with women. Say you’ve dated a few girls in your BP days, you’ve banged some bitches, maybe had a ONS before. Then you have a much better ability than knowledge ratio compared to the incel virgin. You can tread a little more dangerously. Dive a little bit deeper into the waters. The chance of damage is less for you because you are a somewhat experienced coach.

And lastly, if you came here and are already a decent PUA, womanizer, etc. Then you will have a lot of experience vs knowledge. You are a natural alpha to an extent. You intrinsically understand the teachings because you've lived them. TRP will pretty much be the final pieces to your puzzle. You already knew most of this stuff, you just didn’t have names for it or where missing a few things.

 

For the incel virgin, TRP is like giving a toddler a machine gun. Ya, he might figure it out and keep his aim on point. But he's also just as likely to fall on his ass and shoot everyone around him, including himself.

The player, womanizer, hustler is more like giving a machine gun to a war veteran. Lot less likely he's going to misuse it or fuck up.

Realize you might be somewhere in between the toddler and veteran. Don't go out thinking you are now Rambo just cause you have all this new knowledge.

This has been your TRP PSA.

 

Be conscious of your ability to knowledge or you’re going to burn yourself. Don't be That Guy™.

 

Some of you are going to need to dial it back a bit. Pace yourselves. Not jump head first into white waters when you haven't even built yourself a paddle yet.

If you've just found TRP and think you have it all figured out now, you are in for a rude awakening when you try to step on the court with a player like Micheal Jordan.
