I needed to hear this. Thanks for sharing

Well said. And you could condense it even more to this: Hard times create strong men Strong men create good times Good times create weak men Weak men create hard times...

This is 100% accurate. I like Jordan Peterson, but lately I’ve been enjoying Stefan Molyneux more. He talks about this issues a lot, and has the same conclusion: we’re not in a feee market, and the welfare state is subsidizing hypergamy. He talks about this in a recent video: Sugar Baby Feminism The problem is that I don’t see how we can reverse the welfare state at this point... that genie might also be out of the bottle. I’m hopeful someone will come up with a solution. We’ll see.

Thanks for the follow up. Models is a great book, so it's definitely worth a read if you have the time. I like your examples about keeping eye contact or passing a shit test. Makes it a lot easier to see frame in action.

OP, this was a really well written post. Thanks for taking a somewhat ambiguous term and really hashing it out. Not sure if you’ve read Models by Mark Manson, but he pinpoints “Neediness” as the root of all unattractive behavior. If I recall correctly, he defines “Neediness” as: “Being more emotionally invested in what others think of you, than what you think of yourself” He then says “Non-Neediness” is the root of all attractive behavior (Being more emotionally invested in yourself than in othe…

Great movie! Also, holy shit — that transformation pic you linked is amazing!

Glad you mentioned the 6 Pillars of Self-esteem by Nathaniel Brandon. To this day, I still consider it one of the best books ever written. His breakdown of self-esteem being a balance between self-efficacy and self-respect is genius.

Great list, OP! Haven't heard of The Attraction Code, so I'll check it out. Would also highly recommend Models by Mark Manson. Great book about attraction, and also a critique of the PUA industry. Covers what they got right/wrong. Very interesting read.

This is one of the best TRP articles I've read all year. Great job, OP!

Great writeup OP! Mark Manson is awesome, good choice on linking the "Fuck Yes or No" article. If you haven't read his book "Models" I'd highly recommend it. Definitely worth the read.

Hey OP, great article. Your writing style is very similar to Ayn Rand and Nathaniel Branden. Do you have a background in Objectivism?

Hey OP, thanks for doing a TRP breakdown of Francisco's Sex Talk. That's my second favorite passage in Atlas Shrugged after his Money Talk. By the way, if you're a fan of Ayn Rand, I'd highly recommend reading "The 6 Pillars of Self-esteem" by Nathaniel Branden. He helped her create the philosophy of Objectivism, and was once referred to by her as "the closest thing to a living John Galt." Very brilliant man, he was a psychologist, so he took her Philosophy and created a practical way to achieve…

I'm a huge fan of Nathaniel Branden; thanks for sharing this quote. He's a brilliant writer, and that was a very enjoyable read. If you haven't read "The 6 Pillars of Self-esteem" by him, I would highly recommend it.

"To a woman, a man must be a finished product. Work-in-progress is worthless." Holy shit, you just took an abstract thought I've been struggling to put into words and wrote it out perfectly. Well done, OP! Also, I really enjoyed your writing style. Felt very fluid. I hope you contribute more writings in the future.

Hey OP, I like your definition of confidence/self-esteem. (Self-efficacy meets self-respect) I'm guessing you're a fan of The 6th Pillars of Self-Esteem by Nathaniel Brandon?

"The secret to their success is that they focus primarily on themselves." This is key. It's one of those paradoxes that's hard to really believe until you experience it personally. When you stop running around in circles, you can finally slow down and realize it's time for a paradigm shift. All through college and high school I spent all of my time chasing after girls with little to no success. After discovering the PUA movement, and then moving on to TRP, I stopped putting effort into chasing a…

/u/listen_up_buddy Glad you like the quote! Socrates is a BAMF. If you like that, check out the book "6 Pillars of Self-esteem" by Nathaniel Brandon. It's the Philosophy of the Greeks (Socrates, Plato, Aristotle) explained through the lenses of Psychology. It's the best book on self-betterment I've ever read. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Agreed. I'm done fighting the old establishment. It's time to shrug and build a new one. "The secret to change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new" —Socrates

Read The 6 Pillars of Self-esteem by Nathaniel Brandon. I had the same problem, and after reading the book it was an entire paradigm shift for my emotions.

This is 100% spot on. I've struggled with oneitis in the past, and I think at its core it's a self-esteem issue. For a long time, I held the subconscious belief that self-esteem was something I could get externally from a relationship. Now I realize that it has to be internal. OP, and anyone else in this thread, I would highly recommend reading The 6 Pillars of Self-Esteem by Nathaniel Brandon. It lays out the process to develop an internal source of self-esteem, and really gets to the root of f…

Awesome! =) After reading both books, I'm now convinced that neediness is the absence of self-esteem. And yes, the Blog is fantastic! His articles on Values and Boundaries are incredibly interesting. Cheers mate! Edit: Glad to hear you liked the articles! I totally agree, the zero tolerance policy is just one more way quickly polarize women and speed up the treasure hunting process.

Hey OP, thanks for the review! I discovered Models in 2013 and it’s completely changed my perspective on seduction. In fact, it’s probably one of the best life-improvement books out there. As a follow up book, I highly recommend The 6 Pillars of Self-Esteem by Nathaniel Brandon. Mark mentioned it in one of his blogs, and you can tell he was heavily inspired by it. I’m about half way through, and it’s completely mind blowing! Finally, I’m glad you mentioned /r/theredpill. I think if you’ve been h…

Thanks for sharing. I've heard this book mentioned several times here, so it was neat to finally get a small preview.

Thank you for sharing. Reading Mark Manson's Models was probably one of the best things that happened to me in the last couple years. So it was fascinating to hear from you what it's like to actually be vulnerable... because I still haven't found the courage to go out and do it myself.

Thanks for the link. I've been wanting to learn more about charisma, so I'll have to check this out.

I had the same question. And then half way through the book Mark directly acknowledges the paradox and solves it. Here's the quote: The true power of vulnerability is that it resolves the investment paradox. The investment paradox, as mentioned in the previous chapter, is the conflict between the two aspects of female attraction. Women are attracted to men who are of higher status than themselves (or in our terms, less needy). They are also aroused by men who desire them. The paradox is that typ…

Fantastic analysis! I take it you've read Models by Mark Manson?

Read Models by Mark Manson. Seriously. Do it. A quick Google search should bring up a free PDF/Google Doc. Anyway, here's a quote I'll paraphrase that relates to your situation. "The world is like a shadow. Chase it and you'll never catch it. Turn your back on it, and it has no choice but to follow." Building outcome independence isn't tricking yourself into an "I don't give a fuck" attitude every time something doesn't go your way. Rather, it's about getting validation from within instead of fr…

Going from "The Game" to "Models" is definitely mind blowing. Mark Manson is a paradigm changer in Seduction.

This. Is. Awesome. Thanks for writing this out. You took a lot of abstract thoughts that have been floating around in my head and put them down into well thought out words. Thank you!

Ah, I see. For the smaller cases, subtle body language would definitely be more appropriate. Thanks for the clarification!

Great post. I think you've listed some pretty good techniques. However, at the end of the day, I think it's more valuable to be direct rather than indirect. Models by Mark Manson really changed my mindset on this. For example, there's a part in the book where he's on a date with some girl, and she's either being a bitch or obviously isn't interested in being there. I'm paraphrasing here, but Mark says something along the lines of "I'm gonna be blunt. I don't want to waste my time, and I'm sure y…

Upon reading the OP's title I immediately thought, "Classic case if oneitis. He's got to work on his inner game." Anyway, just wanted to say you perfectly put my thoughts into words. As someone who's struggled with oneitis, thanks for your reply.

Did you mean "The Art of War" or is it really called "The War of Art?" I'm genuinely curious. Thanks!
