Great catch: 6 Harsh Truths That Will Make You A Better Person. This truly is one of the best short-form pieces of all time. I tell others that self-improvement starts when you realize that the world is the way it is, no matter how much you wish it were different. At some point you have to recognize what world it is that you belong to; what power rules it Marcus Aurelius

Seen it 4 times. It's one of the truest movies. Which is sad. My Dad lived that life, and I look back on it and see it. Paradox: I think the reality portrayed in that film is bleak to those who don't accept it as reality. When you do, it frees you to then live life on your own terms. (I haven't read Nietzche, but I imagine he has something to say here). If you keep complaining that Life (The Man, w/e) doesn't hand you the Glengarry Leads, you'll always be sitting at a shitty desk praying you don…

All I can think about is Dr Drew saying he'd kill himself if he was that Duke chick's father. He went on a rant about how she simply could not understand the damage she was doing to her LIFE. Of course she blew up at him publicly... Then... A couple years later... "Worst decision of my life. Now I'm Duke porn girl."

I'm married and this, like all RP truths, is applicable to any marriage. Have your shit in control? She'll wake you up with a BJ, hand you a cup of coffee and cook for you when you get home. Been exhibiting Beta behavior? It's all your fault. All of it.

San Francisco: Everyone here went to a top-tier school, so read into that what you will. Just know that every girl acts like they went to a top-tier school and has inflated view of their SMV.

I agree with another commenter who says that this post needs more substance to be posted here. However, I will say that NoFap changed my life. I realized it was an autonomic response for me to challenges. There would be a project that I needed to do something about and I would just go "welp, I might as well masturbate first." Never even thought about it. When you have to stop yourself, you really realize what's going on.

Reflect on your life and goals 1x/week. Don't wake up at 30 and wonder why you spent every week/month/year doing the same mindless shit. Financially: stay one step ahead instead of one step behind. If you want to make more money: do it. Job hop, if you have to. Pare down your life to the 80/20 essentials in all areas. That includes areas like having fun, hanging with friends, etc. They're part of life too. Just think about how to do it right. Say no to things you don't want to do.

I think this is an amazing article about gender in the workplace, and how males are removing themselves from the conversation. TL;DR - Women need to learn to take feedback. Men need to accept the fact that strong businesswomen adopt traits they find masculine and stop holding it against them (while praising males). PS - I'm an entreprenueur and a company I work with is called "A Woman Owned ______ Co." Never talked to the woman, only the husband. It dawned on me that it was her name on the compa…

For 2 weeks one summer, I decided I was going to approach every single girl I was interested in, start a convo, and ask for her number by the 5th time I spoke. Day 1 was cringy but i didn't die. Days 2 & 3 were super rough. Days 5, 6 & 7 were really funny as I started building some lines. Days 8-14 I was completely comfortable, got fuckload of numbers and ONS's.

I lived with 3 VB players in college (6'1, 6'1 and 6'3) and it was hilarious to watch them wet themselves when they finally found a guy in a bar who was tall enough for them.

What you're talking about is called a "presupposition." They're very powerful with internal dialogue. Why do I suck at picking up women?

A friend from my High School was on a professional dance troupe from another local school that performed all over the country. 6 guys and 6 girls and it was basically a fuck-fest. She dated my buddy for a couple months. They didn't have sex (in high school, none of us did), but in retrospect she was getting banged for sure all of the time.

This was a great read. I saved it so I could refer to it later. I read the Koran when I was in high school soon after 9/11. I thought it was important to do so. I would agree that there are a lot of loud people out there who just love causes and will tell you that a deeper look (socially, economically, or politically) is just racist. PS - I would read your book if it came out.

I've said it many times before, but TRP simply leads to better outcomes for everybody in a relationship. Most relationships the woman is bored, disgusted, and goes through the motions.

IMO - Dread game is the most important thing in LTR's.

Using straight numbers, rather than years lifting, I'd say 99%+ of people on internet forums count as Novice lifters. People talk about the most advanced topics possible, and develop/spread best practices off of them, when it's all for an entirely different audience. CNS/overtraining, what type of cardio, what accessories you use, supplement choice, nutrient timing... literally doesn't matter for 99% of lifters. For Christ's sake: the "to curl, or not to curl" argument actually happens. Just fuc…

Yes, yes, and yes. I've advocated soft dread in LTR's for forever, and getting in sick shape is the best form of all. I get checked out on the street and touched at bars all the time, and we both know it. My GF steps her shit up without me saying anything. It's awesome.

All my accounting friends have told me exactly that. Which is you're on the ladder, and the ladder is the ladder, and your pay increases are essentially scheduled. Man or woman, there are no two ways about it. Most of them have quit, because there are other industries (Finance) where incentives are more in line with what they should be.

Absolutely. I would also argue that men are simply designed to negotiate those things more out of natural makeup than need. But you have great point, which is women often have the "second" job, and her need for it is marginal in step with the family's financial need. In that sense, while men need every buck they can, women with kids (perhaps) may think they just need "a job." i've never considered that.

I would say it's more due to the momentum created from achieving a goal. For people beginning with self-improvement, increases in lifts are one of the most concrete signifiers of progress available. You either achieved a bench press PR, or you didn't. When I began lifting, it taught me discipline, gave me confidence, made me happier (endorphins!), increased energy levels, and, most importantly, made me think about what else I could accomplish if I really wanted to.

Bang. For real: anytime there's a 10-point scale, most people use "7" as average (or worse: see the NBA Slam Dunk Contest). We need to be realistic, and realize that it's probably more like a bell curve- HB8's being much rarer than HB7's, HB9's much rarer than HB8's, etc. etc.

I don't call anybody dude. Honestly never have." I sit in my room and read or am out enjoying hobbies. I have a ton of friends, but if I don't get a text for Friday night, I'm not chasing them down. I have shit to do.

Ya, I don't get why anybody even quotes the old testament laws as something that Christianity actually* espouses. Jesus came to show everyone that it was about the spirit, and not the letter, of the law. He destroyed the Pharisees over and over again for tsk-tsk'ing him on that shit. *ok, lot's of Christians still do, but I think they're misguided and don't understand everything they're talking about.

Wow - I never really thought about it like this. Displaying high SMV has a subconscious effect on women in general... but has a conscious effect on smart ones, who recognize it for what it is. Totally confirms previous experiences. EDIT: especially the "cockyfunny" aspects, that challenge them in novel, fun ways.

Tony Robbins' Money: Master the Game was one of the best books I've read all year.

Dread game for him isn't even a game. He doesn't even have to do anything because his GF/Wife knows that he can get chicks at the drop of a hat. And so she works her ass off to keep him happy.

While this is a place to discuss amoral sexual strategy, I (personally) don't believe that it gives you carte blanche to do whatever the fuck you want. If you agree to be in a relationship with someone, and you don't honor that relationship, you're not being amoral, you've crossed over into being immoral. That's a cool quote, and we all know it's true, but I do wish TRP would stop and think sometimes about the texture of different situations.

I was thinking the same thing when reading this. Every time I've seen/read about dread game, it seemed like it went much further than OP's post. Something akin to "I have no qualms about fucking other people if I have to, just so you know." That being said, OP, what you're talking about is a great example of holding frame. And it's posts like these that have really improved my LTR with my GF. Frame, Frame and Frame again. She knows not to be shitty. And she knows what I find shitty.

Love Tim Meadows. Not exactly sure it was RP though, as the joke was the guy just loved women, and for whatever reason, they were obsessed with him in a nonsensical way (often because he was black).

All of my friends that have felt lost or depressed (I think most people do, at some point), I recommend lifting weights. It's simply the most direct, least ambiguous form of self-improvement you can do. For the magnitude of the impact, you have enough self-control over the outcome that it's hugely motivating. Like he mentioned, getting over that hump, it has a huge snowball effect. People like the way you look, but more importantly, you set a goal and you achieved it. There's not mistaking that.…

I wouldn't want it done to me, so I'm not going to do it to someone else. Simple as that. That being said, if some dude fucked my girlfriend, I'd understand from his POV. There's millions of guys that would do it if she said yes, and she's an adult and can say no (presumably).

I am a serious christian. Go to church every Sunday. First, I think there needs to be some clarification between what's immoral and what's amoral. For instance, I think capitalism is pretty amoral. You can do with it whatever you want, and it allows the freedom to be immoral or moral. However, that's not the framework... that's you. I think TRP is the same way. Most of it (IMO the objectively best, non-bitter stuff) is actually pretty amoral. I could also argue that some of the self-serving beha…

My biggest pet peeve in this sub is people thinking that just because men are different from women, men are better than women. Makes people look immature and insecure. They need to quit that shit.

I loved NoFap. Obviously, a lot is written about giving up porn, which is great. However, I think actually giving up masturbating is important too. I have a friend who works on smoking cessation studies. Often, the hardest part is giving up smoking, per se, but realizing/avoiding the triggers that lead to having a cigarette. NoFap was amazing for reorienting my relationship with jacking off. I could make a list, but they all have to do with procrastinating on something challenging that I didn't …

Thanks. Long-time lurker. In an LTR, and it's all extremely applicable. Like 1:1. Though I'm definitely looking for more LTR/married game resources.

Well, you've got greater game than I do, so I'll be reading your posts regardless of which style they're written in.

Compliment sandwich time: First, this is an excellent post. Very instructive, and funny (the central nervous system bit was hilarious). But: Plate reads my expression and knows I am thinking of my ex's phenomenal body. I'm actually thinking of wrestling with a shitload of German Shepard puppies. There was a lot of flourishes in here (like the above) that kind of delve into the excessive. Kind of getting into the TRP-porn category where the man-is-so-superior-to-women thing is perhaps getting mor…

I completely agree with this. I'm in a LTR, and as I raise my SMV, she kind of put two and two together that she should probably be coming along for the self-improvement ride, and keep up the effort in the relationship. I don't have one foot out the door (ya, ya, ya), but I don't mind if she feels like I do. If I were married, and she flipped, that would be different. Frame, and a healthy dose of time would be your best friends here. Also: security doesn't necessarily = happiness for women.

To be fair, they both probably still have sex with whoever they want too.

Also, there's a huge anti-keg sentiment and I don't understand why. Waiting in line at the keg is way safer than just pouring yourself more hard alcohol or someone throwing you another beer. Parties when we would go get 300 individual beers would get people WASTED, because we'd go through it so fast.

Mention steroids in /r/Fitness and it's like you shat in everybody's soup.

What's funny, is that /r/steroids might be the most supportive sub on Reddit. Someone was posting about it today there. You get a small group of individuals who can have adult conversations, and it's crazy what can happen.

48 Laws of Power is a must-read. Used to recommend it to everyone, but I don't think I can anymore. Makes people think you're shady, when really it's just amazing knowledge. (Ok, I'm a little shady. thanks Robert.)

I'm an EXTREMELY nice guy. You can do so while maintaining frame when necessary, and expertly navigating bullshit. For example: There was a post a while ago about people cutting you off in conversations, and everyone was talking about how to be totally alpha and assert dominance. If it's my girlfriend, absolutely. If it's just some guy, I usually leave the conversation immediately. Don't need it. Edit: should also say, being extremely nice - when I shrug off a shit test, it means much, much more…

I had 3 roommates in college who were girls, and they loved Will and Grace. "Oh Grace, when will you find a man, you silly bitch?" "Shut up Will! You're so gaaaaaay!" ::canned laughter::

Don't know about pain tolerance. Women do have faster recovery and can sustain a higher volume. http://www.t-nation.com/training/best-damn-bench-press-article-period Mentions that men take 48 hours to recover from a hard bench session, women take 4 hours. Quotes a paper, but doesn't provide a link on the citation.

I think this is the biggest misconception of TRP. So many people anchor their opinion of TRP on the widely-available anecdotes of angry men whose cheating girfriend drove them to TRP, as if it's a last resort for losers. For 90% of the guys here, TRP just simply rocked them with truths that explained their entire life, history and inevitable BB future. I wan't angry at women, I was disappointed with myself.

It's an easy scapegoat, and you might be surprised to find that your T levels aren't the problem, depending on how your test turns out. A lot of it is mindset. I tried to work really hard on everything that I mentioned above for a full year before I even asked my doctor about it. If you're fishing, I would start by complaining of the symptoms (look them up) and tell them you had a friend who started TRT and was feeling way better. At 27, I'm probably at the low-end of the age-range, and the high…

Been on for 3 weeks. Only after effect is that I now get erections way more often, want to have sex (or just masturbate) all the time. Erections are fuller as well. Before: Tired all the time. Gaining fat easier/muscle harder. Not as strong as I used to be, even though I still work out. Had to make myself have sex with my girlfriend and would go soft (through no fault of hers). Would get irritable and emotional, which was costing me business. Also cried twice in three months. Over nothing. Hadn'…

Recently decided to take accountability for my life: Doctor-shopped until I got on TRT. I was low 400's in my late 20's. Did research for a year, so I'm doing it right (I'm not on 200, as my username makes it seem). Made the decision to become... more decisive. I'm no longer floating through life, assuming everyone else's ideas are "probably good." Crazy how I see now how BP that behavior was. See it everywhere, and it's not a good look. An opportunity presented itself to join a band, and I jump…

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
