| 2 | Professionally, you are the female.I'd say the teens are the figure shit out years, and the 20s are the getting shit done years. Ideas without execution are delusions. Always work for yourself. Even when you're working for someone else, absorb and learn, invest in your skills and intelligence. I'm grateful to be a medical student cuz honestly it's a less competitive cutthroat field when everyone's career is relatively secure. You can work as an employee or you can set up private practice. It's all up to you tbh. | /r/TheRedPill | 26/03/18 01:21 AM |
| 1 | I've been in Monk Mode for too long. I forgot how to enjoy life.Yeah you described it perfectly well. I think the scheduling a "rest block" is a good idea. I'll definitely incorporate that. That way I"ll still have "control" on a macro level | /r/askTRP | 18/05/17 04:20 AM |
| 1 | I've been in Monk Mode for too long. I forgot how to enjoy life.I have no sex life. I could use some pointers of construcitng one. Children are definitely important but I feel that I am too mcuh of a control freak and perfectionist to ever be able to settle. | /r/askTRP | 18/05/17 04:12 AM |
| 2 | I've been in Monk Mode for too long. I forgot how to enjoy life.I should definitely be careful, you're right. But what's the alternative?! I look at my peers and all they do all day is scroll around instagram, spending hours putting filters on photos and showing off themselves, PLAYING ON THEIR PHONES WHILE WE ARE OUT ON A SOCIAL GATHERING, completely distracted and unable to focus when studying... I mean holy shit. I look at my peers and am completely disgusted by their behavior. It stings me to my core knowing that on any bad day, I'd fall onto their level… | /r/askTRP | 18/05/17 04:10 AM |
| 1 | I've been in Monk Mode for too long. I forgot how to enjoy life.I see what you mean -- yeah definitely. But I get so "uptight" that sometimes I'd rather stay in just to save myself the time of transportation, and beer/eating out would be a terrible idea on a macronutrient level. I realize it's a bit hardcore but I just get really frustrated whenever I "fall off the wagon", so most of the time, I might as well choose to stick with the disciplined path. As Shia Labeouf said, "if you're tired of starting over, stop giving up". | /r/askTRP | 18/05/17 04:05 AM |
| 1 | I've been in Monk Mode for too long. I forgot how to enjoy life.I definitely see the importance of socializing. But getting a girlfriend to "pass time" sounds like a recipe for disaster. I think "passing time" is a mistake a lot of people in our youth makes, and the debt they incur can become unpayable in the future. As Robert Greene says, "all the time spent not accumulating skills will catch up to you, and the fall will be painful". You're wasting your youth -- a period open to creativity, a period when you can still be light on your feet without personali… | /r/askTRP | 18/05/17 04:03 AM |

| 1 | I've been in Monk Mode for too long. I forgot how to enjoy life.You just need to learn how to relax and give yourself a break. Precisely this. I'm just looking for some novelty I suppose, such that the monotonous grind can be more bearing. I'm looking for any pointers. I understand that "relaxing" is an abstract concept that's different for everyone, but I'd really appreciate a framework on how to approach "relaxing" and "enjoying life" without being at the detriment of my ambitions and overall improving my quality of life. | /r/askTRP | 16/05/17 11:05 AM |
| 8 | I've been in Monk Mode for too long. I forgot how to enjoy life.Hey man, don't get me wrong, I am incredibly grateful for the position I'm in. Honestly. It took me a lot of hard work but it's made me a better person, no doubt. I guess that's the problem -- what else is there to do? My entire life is disciplined from early rising to studying to hitting the gym to reading a book. There are times when everything is just so routine and automatic. It brings me clarity and it makes me very efficient, but I almost lost my sense of personality as a result. There are… | /r/askTRP | 16/05/17 11:03 AM |
| 0 | Weeding out the bullshit in your lifeWhy would it be rough at first. I can't imagine living my life if i didn't at least track what I'm doing. That's the equivalent of being lost in a jungle VS tracking your bearings and mapping your efforts. Do people not track what they do? Even just a general idea of oh I'm around this waist size for the past year or I've spent this much money this past month is a form of tracking. Even children track how much time they spend on games and track their quest progress and levels | /r/TheRedPill | 16/04/17 01:06 AM |
| 14 | How much Dan Bilzerian understands.The average woman does NOT get this attention. If you were born an ugly chick you're done. If you're born pretty but don't take of yourself you're done. If you're born pretty and take care of yourself... Awesome, but you too would be done as old age hits you in your late 30s and that's being pretty conservative. And in any case if you don't go out at all, if you don't have a social circle, if you don't have a life that exposes you to attractive guys, the best you can hope for is to settle with a… | /r/TheRedPill | 10/03/17 07:25 AM |

I'm a twenty one year old (god, I'm fucking young compared to you guys) and I feel like I'm at a deadend in terms of friendships and relationships. I've spent my waking hours on my goals (med school and the gym) at the detriment to all my acquaintances and social circle (of which I have none). I have a few close friends but as the years go by and as I grow, while I treasure their support and loyalty, it's clear to me that we are no longer on the same playing field (they a… | /r/TheRedPill | 25/02/17 02:36 AM |
| 2 | The paradox of improving yourself to achieve high SMVAppreciate your comment but perhaps I could've worded my question better. How exactly do you meet guys with higher SMV? I don't really have a social circle per se, and just hang out with a few guy friends (one-on-one) every week or so. While one or two of my close friends have goals, most are content and willing to just get by in life, to settle for a job that they don't like, to just support their family and "make ends meet". They don't really have any other aspirations other than "to find a st… | /r/TheRedPill | 11/02/17 05:08 AM |
| 3 | The paradox of improving yourself to achieve high SMVHmm, this is something I've been thinking about. Where do you find men that are higher SMV? This may sound arrogant but I seem to be the highest SMV in my current social group (on an objective level intellectually, physically, spiritually), and although that's alright (it's good to be respected, to inspire, and to bring your friends up with you), at the same time I wished I could associate myself with people of a higher caliber; with more experience, skills, knowledge that I could learn from.

| 5 | The great are alone but not lonelyThis is something I've struggled with as well. I think the only solution is just to try (and believe me I struggle with this too) to interact with them on a nonjudgemental level. Indeed, there are a lot of things I disdain about their behavior mainly because I have been their myself -- I see my pathetic behaviors reflected in their actions. But I think the only way to actually navigate the social arena is to traverse it with non-judgemental eyes... it's the only way you can integrate within the … | /r/TheRedPill | 14/12/16 12:48 PM |

I hope this comment doesn't get buried because this is something I struggle with continuously and immensely, and it creeps up on me at least once a month to the point where I'm thinking I oughta invest on tampons. A bit of background: three years ago was a fatass, shit grades, didn't study, had no concept of "discipline" and hence my diet, sleep, hygiene, were all out of whack.

| 2 | Meditation On CompetitivenessThat fucking sucks. I've always had an admiration for true masters in any field... In fact I think this admiration, and the process of submissing myself to a true master or to my own cause, is intoxicating and an essential part of learning. I feel no greater feeling in my life than total immersion and submission to a master,and can say all my achievements career wise, lifting wise, have come from transcending my masters and moving onto greener pastures.

| 3 | Are women mean to you? Its because you have low SMVWhile the majority of cases are positive, I'd play devil's advocate. jealous men will also treat you worse in passive aggressive ways and go behind your back, and some women will tend to be more nervous and shy around you and take a bit longer to "open up". I enjoy having a dynamic with girls that involve teasing and flirting with each other and usually that takes longer because I exhibit a more "serious, intense, in control" demeanor now. Especially with my tonality sometimes girls would take m… | /r/TheRedPill | 07/12/16 02:21 PM |

| 11 | After being with my GF for 6 months, I realized that AWALT is really true. And it's not a bad thingThanks for sharing, that's a pretty good mindset to have. Use women as a learning tool to help refine your own character. Much like books are to the mind and iron is to the body, women is to your masculinity. They expose your weaknesses. It might hurt at first, you might feel lost outside your comfort zone, you might be in denial that you were any less than perfect... but just sit through it, accept it, and grow from it. That's what I took from ur friends quote and I can't think of a healthier m… | /r/TheRedPill | 23/11/16 02:36 PM |

Most people have made the mistake of starting a family in their mid twenties just to regret no wrapping it up, and now they have a chikd to take care of, a marriage, and no career whatsoever or any self identity (passions, hobbies, or self pursuits).

| 22 | Attraction and Desire – What I learned from taking estrogen and living as a girlWhen a guy would say "good girl" to me, this would have a strong effect. A guy who made it clear he desired me could also do it, just the sensation of feeling desired was potent. Touch would - for some reason just the feel of a guys hands on me would have a very strong effect. Keep in mind when you're saying this, you probably don't mean all guys. I imagine if a low SMV guy touched you, you would have a different reaction. Or if a stranger (even if he was hot) touched you, you'd be alarmed. | /r/TheRedPill | 30/10/16 09:05 AM |

I'd rather be in a position where I'm offering more value than I'm taking -- something that doesn't take much from me, but completely enhances someone else's perception of me. It's true what you said about "they don't care about you", but at the same time, me being seen with an attractive female also boosts my SMV; just as she is being seen with a high SMV male.

| 2 | Higher SMV guys enjoy life at all phases, don't let anyone else tell you differently!You're absolutely correct. Which is why I think in my position, it is more important to emphasize my AF traits (carefree, DGAF, drive a dope car and use that money to upgrade my style... basically a "baller" lifestyle) in order to counteract my career/financial status. I see the merit in not telling them that I'm a doctor per se, but perhaps a better answer would be something like "I chop people open and save their life" or something with a lighter tone.

Why do you think Doctors are stereotyped as BBs, simply because of how much they make?

It's one thing to read about AWALT and Hypergamy, but it's better to experience it first-hand, especially if you're on the receipeient side (i.e. you're the alpha fuck).

| 1 | All Guns Are LoadedQuite right. Thanks for your bacon analogy. At first I thought it might be an excuse for me not to approach women (or to even socialise in general with men OR women), but the analogy reassured me that my time is better spent investing on myself (career, body and charm) instead of external sources (social media, entertainment, acquaintances) | /r/TheRedPill | 19/11/15 05:49 AM |
| 1 | All Guns Are LoadedSure. I suppose I don't see it the same way, sure I love bacon (honestly as long as it's in moderate amounts it won't give you cancer), but there's also other alternatives I'd rather spend my time on. Instead of women most people would rather invest their time and resources on themselves -- at least there's a higher ROI.

| 1 | All Guns Are LoadedNice post. My question to you is that, knowing what guns are capable of, why on earth would you have the incentive to play with one? Back when you were naive, had an ideal view of the world, you might see the value is playing with guns... But now that we know better, what's the point. As you say, better safe than sorry.

Since most of my time is spent working, I very much appreciate the time I have to "relax", and my form of relaxation involves solitude via listening to music, meditating... actual relaxation.

| 4 | Some tips for those starting outWhile I agree, the "reversal" of this is not to get stuck in planning and analysis paralysis. Too many times I would focus 90% of my time on planning instead of actually putting the work in -- planning made me feel productive, so I avoided doing the actual fucking task. Be honest with yourself. Develop a system. And then comes the most important part -- go fucking do it. | /r/TheRedPill | 27/10/15 04:49 AM |
| 1 | The Three Rules.I feel like I'm a bit too much overboard with this rule. My focus is insane since I started meditation, and much like how meditation is the practice of dismissing distracting thoughts, I started shunning distracting people from my life -- to the point where I pretty much detached myself from my social circle in pursuit of other goals such as fitness/studies.

But you say that assuming that most women view sex as an exchange, and that they use it to get commitment from a girl. That's not necessarily true. Most women, depending on which stage of their life they're in, would seek sex simply because they enjoy it. It's not something they "give up" in "exchange" for commitment. Consider the Cock Carousel riders for example. It's a tragedy that most men think otherwise, but women enjoy sex just as much as we do. And that… | /r/TheRedPill | 06/10/15 06:15 AM |

From anecdotal evidence alone, I believe that a high SMV male (top 10%, or a HG9+) is pretty much treated the same way as a average to high SMV girl (top 40%, or a HB6+). Essentially, both get a wide range of options/orbiters that provide to them what they want (sex or commitment). The HB9+ guy gets with potentially 80% of the women (for sex, or commitment if he's worthy enough). The HB6+ girl gets with potentially 80% of the… | /r/TheRedPill | 06/10/15 06:10 AM |

I do most things with confidence (enter action with boldness or not at all), but what I lack charisma (with other people). Confidence mostly depends on yourself (your beliefs, your actions, how you project yourself). Charisma depends on how you interact with other people, how they treat you, how you're treated...

The only thing is disagree with is the part about "true feelings". I don't think they exist. I believe there are feelings, that everyone experiences DIFFERENTLY. none of any truer than another. | /r/askTRP | 28/09/15 03:26 AM |
| -2 | Twenty-Year Old Psychopath. AMA.Look if there's a problem a mod will speak to me. Everything else you said -- well that's just your opinion man. | /r/askTRP | 27/09/15 05:20 PM |
| 0 | Twenty-Year Old Psychopath. AMA.I spent the past hour doing some "psychopathy tests" on Google and all of them have said that I am more psychopathic than the average person, where a few have put me around 1-2 standard deviations above the average dude. Honestly, I'm not really sure my definition of "empathy" is the same. But from my understanding, yes I do find it difficult to connect with others on an emotional level mostly because their emotions seem to be so shallow and superficial, and not rooted into anything concrete. It… | /r/askTRP | 27/09/15 05:15 PM |

| 1 | Group Situations: Whenever I speak I get ignored...I am the strong and silent type. But when I deliver a solid joke, nobody hears it because they're all talking over each other... | /r/seduction | 24/09/15 01:52 AM |
| 1 | In groups, how do you become the guy that gets attention?Maybe. But the thing is I don't want to be the guy dancing alone on the dance floor or the person eating alone in the cafeteria. In a group, everyone converses each other, yes, but I at least want to be heard instead of having to say the same joke three times before I get heard, for example. | /r/seduction | 24/09/15 01:52 AM |
| 1 | How To Talk To Everyone You See.Thing is, whenever I say something I either get ignored, or get judged. Sometimes I'd say ridiculous shit cuz I find it self-amusing, and the girl would look at me like "what a creep" look. :( | /r/TheRedPill | 23/09/15 09:13 AM |
| 1 | Offering Value VS Being A DoormatYeah. I want to project the vibe of giving value, having fun, making them feel good by being around me. I want to be the "King" of the conversation, I reward conversation topics that are awesome (high fives, encourage them on, show more interest), and kinda dismiss the ones that aren't (ignore, or switch topics). I want to be directing the conversation rather than following through. | /r/seduction | 23/09/15 09:09 AM |
| 0 | Offering Value VS Being A DoormatI already realize this. Yeah I do think they're very one-dimensional and many lack personality. I'm twenty and it feels like high school all over again. | /r/seduction | 23/09/15 01:12 AM |

| 2 | Offering Value VS Being A DoormatI like your stock analogy. Essentially "don't be afraid to invest in others". | /r/seduction | 23/09/15 01:08 AM |
| 1 | Offering Value VS Being A DoormatI think the reason I fail to feel this way is because beforehand, I'd feel "used" whenever I helped someone and they didn't even say thank you. A pretty girl would ask to read my essay and then plagiarize my shit even though I put the hours in. A friend would ask for a favor and when I demand he say "thank you", he'll blame me for not doing the favor well enough even though I tried. At that point I realized what's the point of going out of my way helping other people? I think my focus should be … | /r/seduction | 23/09/15 01:06 AM |
| 1 | European girls I've met are much much friendlier than the American girls, and its throwing me off-balance. Ideas?Oh don't get me wrong, my friend is getting pussy from every nationality (except Indian cuz he's a bit racist). I'm just saying he pretty much monopolized on the Asian hotties cuz he's the "alpha" of their social circle. | /r/seduction | 22/09/15 03:45 PM |
| 3 | Offering Value VS Being A DoormatThere's a few things that draw me away. be humble and recognize that you're just another little shit like everyone else I'm not "normal" though. I work hard. I created my own startup at a young age. I hit the gym. I got into med school. These are not things that a "normal" person does. Before I get downvoted though, I don't think I'm entitled to anything. I realize I'm successful -- but I can't emphasize this enough: I don't think I'm better or worse than other people, I simply don't compare mys… | /r/seduction | 22/09/15 03:37 PM |
| 0 | Offering Value VS Being A DoormatYeah, I do think I know someone based on my first interaction with them. It's very easy to judge a person based on your first encounter and make some assumptions/generalizations, and with every person that I've encountered most have been pretty predictable. It's when they do something "unexpected" that really interests me. I'm speaking about this from a completely rational point of view. After a while, knowing how to read people, body language and verbally, you could make generalizations. I don'… | /r/seduction | 22/09/15 03:29 PM |
| 2 | Offering Value VS Being A DoormatI explicitly mention in my post that I want to change my ways. Downvoting this post won't make it easier for me to do so. Thanks for the comments so far. | /r/seduction | 22/09/15 03:26 PM |
| 1 | European girls I've met are much much friendlier than the American girls, and its throwing me off-balance. Ideas?Yeah. I've noticed as well. An Asian guy that embodies masculine traits (lifts, successful, outgoing) pretty much monopolizes most of the Asian pussies. I have a friend that's living the life there in USC. | /r/seduction | 22/09/15 12:15 PM |
| 1 | European girls I've met are much much friendlier than the American girls, and its throwing me off-balance. Ideas?Exactly. The bad rep doesn't really affect a person as much as you may think. It's all about maintaining frame. | /r/seduction | 22/09/15 12:14 PM |
| 3 | European girls I've met are much much friendlier than the American girls, and its throwing me off-balance. Ideas?I see where you're coming from, but every country has its negative stereotypes. This is something that's natural, applies to every country and is not exclusive to the Chinese, and most importantly, it's something outside of my control. Instead of focusing on the things I can't change, I'd rather focus on the things I can (i.e. self-improvement). | /r/seduction | 21/09/15 08:41 AM |
| 3 | European girls I've met are much much friendlier than the American girls, and its throwing me off-balance. Ideas?I can't speak for all of us, but from my experience, we (Chinese/Asian PUAs) have it quite easy when it comes to countries in which we're a minority in. I guess it's a bit of a novelty for a girl to see an Asian guy that embodies masculine traits, given that they are rarely portrayed as so in western media. I also got a lot of "you look like Mulan's boyfriend" from western girls -- and he's one of the most iconic masculine Asian guys I know in western media. | /r/seduction | 21/09/15 08:38 AM |
| 8 | European girls I've met are much much friendlier than the American girls, and its throwing me off-balance. Ideas?Well, you don't need to have the best rep do you. Being British or American isn't exactly the best rep either. | /r/seduction | 21/09/15 03:27 AM |
| 4 | European girls I've met are much much friendlier than the American girls, and its throwing me off-balance. Ideas?Ain't dreams, already hooked up with a half-swedish girl and she gave the best head. If I ever went to Europe it'd be like entering a shopping mall filled with cute latinas and white girls! :) | /r/seduction | 21/09/15 03:26 AM |
| 7 | European girls I've met are much much friendlier than the American girls, and its throwing me off-balance. Ideas?That's just plain racist. | /r/seduction | 21/09/15 03:25 AM |

| 1 | Any good response to "are you seeing someone" or "do you have a girlfriend"? If my intentions are NOT to get boyfriend-zoned.I'm stealing this! | /r/askTRP | 15/09/15 06:56 AM |
| 1 | Any good response to "are you seeing someone" or "do you have a girlfriend"? If my intentions are NOT to get boyfriend-zoned.Makes sense. I'm in college so having a fun dinner at a place we mutually enjoy for like 1-2 hours sounds like a fair shake to me, especially since I know bits about her from my social circle and from her confidence in calling me, etc. I'm guessing it's rare to pull on the first date? Initially that was my goal but I realize I should just focus on having fun (self-amusement). | /r/askTRP | 14/09/15 03:00 PM |
| 3 | Any good response to "are you seeing someone" or "do you have a girlfriend"? If my intentions are NOT to get boyfriend-zoned.You raise a good point. Yeah I plan to just have fun, be explicitly sexual with her (to avoid boyfriend-zone), and calibrate from there onwards. This "first date" really is just to confirm where we stand and what dynamic we have (if there's even attraction to begin with). | /r/askTRP | 14/09/15 02:51 PM |
| 1 | Any good response to "are you seeing someone" or "do you have a girlfriend"? If my intentions are NOT to get boyfriend-zoned.I plan to make her tell me what happened on the phone (the possibility that it was a prank is still out there) when I sit down with her for some food. And I could gauge her reactions and put her on the spot. haha. | /r/askTRP | 14/09/15 02:50 PM |
| 1 | Any good response to "are you seeing someone" or "do you have a girlfriend"? If my intentions are NOT to get boyfriend-zoned.I'll take my chances. I'm not looking for an LTR to begin with. | /r/askTRP | 14/09/15 02:49 PM |
| 3 | Any good response to "are you seeing someone" or "do you have a girlfriend"? If my intentions are NOT to get boyfriend-zoned."Slow down babe, I don't want you to wake up pregnant" I think I stole that one off Mad Men haha. | /r/askTRP | 14/09/15 02:48 PM |
| 1 | Any good response to "are you seeing someone" or "do you have a girlfriend"? If my intentions are NOT to get boyfriend-zoned.The last one is a bit assholeish haha, but yes it would work on a certain type of girl. I like the other ones. Thanks. | /r/askTRP | 14/09/15 02:47 PM |
| 2 | Any good response to "are you seeing someone" or "do you have a girlfriend"? If my intentions are NOT to get boyfriend-zoned.Oh and this convo transpired over the phone (she called me). | /r/askTRP | 14/09/15 01:54 PM |
| 2 | Any good response to "are you seeing someone" or "do you have a girlfriend"? If my intentions are NOT to get boyfriend-zoned.The context in which this was asked is more casual. Essentially she said she couldn't keep her eyes off me, to which I was a bit startled and hesitated a bit. Sensing this made her ask "oh... are you seeing someone right now?". I ignored/delayed her question then and took her blatantly direct IOI to ask her out on a super casual date. This question will probably resurface again, and I'm thinking a casual response (A&A, humorous) may work more in my favor than a semi-serious response (i.e. "The T… | /r/askTRP | 14/09/15 01:47 PM |
| 0 | Used to think TRP was a weird internet culture; Standing in a room Sat. night, finally dawned on me how pathetic most men act today.Recently turned twenty and I'm on the same boat. There's a certain disconnect from me VS other people and society now. I just don't relate to them. And for a while I've struggled with this not being able to form a deep relationship with anyone. Recently I decided you know what, the world is the way it is. I'll just do whatever is fun and best for me. It's selfish, but ironically also selfless -- because now people see you as a fun optimistic guy and want to join you. They want to be welcomed int… | /r/askTRP | 13/09/15 02:27 PM |
| 1 | Girl called me, expressed her interest. I laughed... but this happened.Yeah. My mind always ruins good things for me by overcomplicating things and thinking ahead. It's how I broke up with my ex in a moment of frustration lmao. Lesson learned and will try to frame any encounter as optimistic as I can before making a rational judgement. | /r/seduction | 10/09/15 01:57 AM |
| 1 | "Always enter action with boldness". Don't you hate it when you only half-want something?I enjoyed your analogy. In your own words, but for me, I would pirate reggae music if nobody finds out -- i.e. it would be my guilty pleasure to fuck these girls as long as word doesn't spread out to my social circles. I don't want to be labelled as the manslut or playa (esp. since the girls that are easy are HB6s lol). I'm also very selective when it comes to girls. But then I realized I'm twenty... I shouldn't be using this as an excuse NOT to approach women. So yeah... One hand I want the qua… | /r/askTRP | 10/09/15 01:53 AM |
| 1 | Girl called me, expressed her interest. I laughed... but this happened.Yep! Definitely was overcomplicating shit needlessly! Always do that haha. I'm framing it as something GOOD. Of course she'd be attracted to me... duh. | /r/seduction | 09/09/15 03:33 PM |
| 1 | Girl called me, expressed her interest. I laughed... but this happened.Essentially yeah. Thanks. Yeah I'll just do the straightforward way. Thanks for making me realize I'm overcomplicating shit!!!! | /r/seduction | 09/09/15 03:33 PM |
| 1 | "Always enter action with boldness". Don't you hate it when you only half-want something?What do you mean they "love" being treated like that. You suggesting that she'd love to have a fuckbuddy on the side as long as we're both discreet? If she suggests/pushes commitment, how do I give her "the talk" (i.e. I'm not looking for a relationship) WITHOUT destroying my social circle and ruining my rep (this is my biggest concern). | /r/askTRP | 09/09/15 03:32 PM |
| 1 | Girl called me, expressed her interest. I laughed... but this happened.I just wanted another opinion on how to handle this situation differently. My main concern is I don't want to ruin my social circle (she is close friends with a lot of my friends). | /r/seduction | 09/09/15 03:30 PM |
| 1 | "Always enter action with boldness". Don't you hate it when you only half-want something?LJBF? Right now I'm on "Yes I would fuck her, only on the side if people don't know (e.g. colleague, someone from the same social circle)" with this girl. Because she is popular among the guys in my social circle, one has even expressed interest in her which she declined. If I fuck her (which I want to because currently I'm plateless), my social circle finding out that I fucked a HB6 would be my only hesitation (because I'm used to doing better -- like HB7s and above). | /r/askTRP | 09/09/15 12:52 PM |
| 1 | "Always enter action with boldness". Don't you hate it when you only half-want something?I love this, and it really is a simple model to follow -- one that I used to use... except now it's become this: A) Yes I would fuck her no matter what. B) Yes I would fuck her, but I want her as an LTR or main plate. C) Yes I would fuck her, only on the side if people don't know (e.g. colleague, someone from the same social circle) D) No I won't fuck her. I realize half-assing and hesitance are horrible (hence my post). It's like that hesitance when you approach a imminent red light. Do you sto… | /r/askTRP | 09/09/15 12:51 PM |
| 4 | Girl called me, expressed her interest. I laughed... but this happened.This was my first thought. Then I realized I should stop being such a negative cunt (like I am usually) and shut people out. Especially since SHE asked ME out, I intend to give her a chance to make something magical happen. | /r/seduction | 09/09/15 12:46 PM |
| 1 | Creepiness. What is it and how to overcome it?Apparently what I thought was creepy... worked? The girl called me today and essentially professed she found me interesting and asked me out. Anyway, I think it's mostly that I feel creepy. On one hand, it may be because I'm doing something outside of my comfort zone (I still think I'm overdoing the eye stare thing lmao). | /r/seduction | 09/09/15 12:19 PM |
