Where I’m from this is called Stroking by the old guys. You basically let a person talk as you engage. People love to talk to someone encouraging them (stroking it out of them) Many years ago when I was learning I worker for an tech company which had a big canteen and coffee shop, staffed by older women mostly. So I started just chatting with them. Pretty soon they know you by name and you get to hear all their business. But in a light way. Get lots of freebies as well. Good for the soul really

Ireland is also the 4th or 5th largest holder of US Treasuries. It’s roughly 1 year’s worth of Irish GDP - just over 360 billion. Where they got the money for that?

It’s been called the Butchers Shop Stare. When you’re looking intently at the meat. You’ll start to notice it when you develop more muscle. Relatively big arms with broad shoulders can trigger it. But build the legs too. You’ll see the mouth open. You don’t have to massive either. Just solid. Like a slab.

Building wealth is building contingency which allows you to get away with fucking up. I find it interesting though that there is criticism of rich ‘betas’. This misses the point. Bezos has enough money to fuck up. Alpha and beta traits are not relevant. A blue pilled beta with contingency will always be more successful than a red pilled purist with none. Defining success just in red pill terms is the problem. It’s just formism like making fun of someone who deadlifts like a cat but not seeing ho…

A friend’s daughter was being coached for a university entrance interview. One of the top ones in the UK. Her mate also was being coached. The teacher (male) decided to go hard on the mate like the university would. He made the point that she wasn’t qualified for the course even though on paper she was. Anyway the girl ended up crying and my friend’s daughter was saying it was mean. I replied “You get this from about 11 or 12 as a boy. You’ve got some catching up to do”. Just as boys don’t see g…

Hamstering aside, cheating is an investment strategy like most. Time, money and mental though process. There’s a great post on here about The Sunken Cost Fallacy. Best read that before making moral judgments. Saying you won’t do something should be because of contingency. As in you perceive the risk too much, especially the multipliers that you have no idea of. That said if you have a lot of contingency you may do it. Morality is subjective to the level you are at. Your behaviours when you have …

I should maybe write a post about this. You can be a blue pilled beta and still be more successful than a red pilled “purist” if you have contingency. Contingency is more important than trying to “do it right” TRP details behaviour and aspects of life that are real and present. It’s up to you to arrange your own behaviours. But in reality you’ll fuck up anyway so build in a buffer. So as you mention the important thing is to manage failures and limit losses. Not focus on small details.

There’s something buried in there that should be clarified. Men should not be actively dominant except over themselves. Dominance is when people follow you by choice. But if your core is weak then you’ll start ordering people around. Women put themselves in a relatively weak position when pregnant. So the man balances this. I can see your argument that this creates a tendency in women to always be the less dominant and that feminism is trying to fight the inertia, often with pyrrhic success.

Strangely this is analogous to Adam Smith’s Invisible Hand. When merchants are selfish and only care for creating quality and value for their customers it weeds out the idiots and forces suppliers to up their game. Which has knock on effects that eventually raise the standard of living for everyone. As if that was the plan all along. It only works of you put you and only you first.

A lot of the root of this central banks and global debt. The moral hazard has been loosened for around 40 years. The Fed has led the way recently but by no means is alone. Japan was the pioneer. What it does is upturn the rocks and let all the bad ideas and stupid behaviour out. And it rewards it until it can’t anymore. Those with contingency are the ones left standing. You can see it in politics. The slow simmer of socialism fueled by the Information age where younger and younger kids are fed “…

There is a chapter in The Laws Of Human Nature about withdrawing attention. With girls it is often a test to see who is interested. If you find yourself initiating all the time it would be wise to reevaluate what you want. Many times abstinence and refocusing on a larger goal is what you’re after. The desire to bang can often be a cry for not having control over larger things. Bread and circuses for the ego.

There’s a film on Netflix called the Laundromat about the Panama Papers. It’s got a leftist slant and is directed by Steven Soderberg. In one scene a guy is caught by his daughter with her roommate. He then offers the daughter money. Because in the end money can solve most problems. The Red Pill has a nice line in saying that you should build yourself up and increase your SMV.

I notice in the comments that few have picked up the fact that even though he was beta he still has contingency. In fact he fucked up in a lot of ways yet still is going. It’s a bit like Formism in weightlifting. Oh your squat is all wrong you’ll never get strong when the person is lifiting twice what you can. The goal is self-reliance.

Building contingency is having a backup plan, resources and mindset so that instead of chancing something happening you have a way to deal with it when it happens. For TRP that can be multiple plates, minimising living expenses, isolated investments (not sure what jurisdiction you are in but some monies cannot be immediately accessed if you divorced). Of course not getting married and arranging your life around that. Basically it is dealing with challenges rather than gambling on them

You also need somewhere in there the point where you start listening to your dick. Not the Dick Brain but the dick, the sensor itself. It goes “that’s alright” and you acknowledge it without trying to chase. Without trying force a plan of action. You listen, relax and then see what you are going to do. An example was when you learn Game and then feel a tinge of anxiety because you aren’t gaming as many women as possible. One of the honest entities in your life is your dick. Along with your gut.

I posted something similar on the Insecurity post. Once a simple interacting system is created it will always try and minimise energy. It is a fundamental law of Nature. Call it the flow of Yin and Yang if you will. Before we were ever celled organisms Nature was doing this dance. All you can do is develop a symbiotic system to further your goals. Because no matter what you do it will build in a self-correcting mechanism.

I’ll add one thing: Any system, inanimate or not, will display ordering behaviour with only the slightest of rules. It’s a fundamental property of Nature and is related to the Least Energy Principle. That feeling of belonging and the subsequent insecurity is driven at the same level. It manifests as feelings and a higher interpretation but it comes from a self-ordering behaviour seen all over Nature. It’s why Pythagoras said the Universe is ruled by numbers. It’s also quite scary. So it’s best t…

In the long run lower carb is better. Getting there though os all the battle. You can keto and get stressed and fuck yourself up. Stress hormones dictate a large part of fat distribution. Slow and steady with small and consistent changes to habits is how you do it. And you can still eat cake everyday. What will happen is you won’t feel like gorging. So you’ll naturally restrict your diet. If you want to go full keto or carnivore it’s easier. It’s how Nature works. The slow blade, Paul.

This is the essence of a lot of Zen buddism as well as Taoism. The idea of stripping your life down to practice and discipline - like chopping wood and fetching water - is not meant to be the only thing you do. What it does is clear the headspace to allow you to do those things you realise that you can do. The clarity of vision. It’s the concept of Wu Wei - action through inaction. Strangely you don’t need to go full Buddist to see it. If you’ve been lifting for a while you’ll see it in progress…

You’re describing the SMV equivalent of the 1% in economics. You can become part of it by investing to some degree. When you sell your house you briefly become it. It’s ever changing You stay in it longer by investing for longer and improving your financial position. And minimising your losses. So for those men, in fact for most of us, you will have a 1% era.

I was plateaued for a while at around 80kg. I eat consistently in fact for the week I prepare all my food for work. I eat low carb, red meat, cheese and cabbage mostly. The one thing that changed this and got me down to 76 kg in around 3 months was walking for 15 to 30 minutes a day. Just having a stroll. Not power walking. Something about low impact cardio but it also clears your stress levels.

Yes working in a corporate job is not optimal for building wealth. Go read The Millionaire Next Door and Millionaire Mind (the follow up). All covered there. Biggest takeaway: minimise your expenses. Have discipline in your life. Learn or get advice from successful people. We are the cumulative result of what we do everyday but opportunities don’t shout out as the phrase goes, they whisper.

There’s another way to look at this: She was a bad investment and your instincts told you that. Eventually you used your sense to end it. Nevermind how you did it, you ended your sunken cost. There are many comments on here about behaviours and that but you cannot control people, including yourself, all the time. You build contingency instead and learn to recognise good versus bad investments. And good being productive and profitable rather than morally good. Same with bad.

Trusting the Process can be ingrained by having a decent lifting practice. And just putting in the hours.

Maybe better to think alpha = optimal or intensive and beta is suboptimal or less intensive over a larger range. You often use suboptimal training balanced with optimal bursts to gain greater heights. The Russians are famous for this with strength training. Keep some in the tank at all times but practice often. However test yourself otherwise your optimal level degrades to suboptimal and often lower.

Great post. Put your feelings aside and determine the risk/reward strategy. My friend and I were talking recently about the concept of something being “wrong”. And how you can be afraid of doing something wrong. Most of the time it is because your conceptual understanding of wrong is based on lack of experience. When you are experienced making a wrong choice is more nuanced. It is based on risk/reward and whether something is optimal. But there is also the lack of fear of consequences. Being exp…

I don’t think in these terms literally either because you quickly realise that there’s always someone “better” than you. And that’s your own fault for keeping on using a competitive metric. We all do it it’s human nature. Like you said you need to get past it. The biggest lesson TRP has given me is reflected in other things in my life: learn how to recognise and make good investments. Make sure your effort is profitable. It’s not always a linear path.

Then don’t. Go read General Gainz by GZCL. It’s a good approach for all levels. The basic idea is more volume more food, less volume less food. How you achieve this is best done operating sub max for both types of training. Train for life not ego. It’s a long road building muscle and getting stronger. At times you’ll surprise yourself. Especially if you get injured in a random way and have to work around it.

When a woman pushes boundaries it also depends when it starts. The push can be subtle and that’s when she is testing but hopes you push back. When it’s more blatant then you’ve lost half the battle. By being watchful and aware of your own boundaries you can often nip it in the bud. But as ever this is a skill of being brutally honest and not just seeing what you want to.

Interesting but it forgets a fundamental concept of non-isolated dualistic systems : rapid rebound. The Predator/Prey cycle is the most famous all driven by a fractal relationship.

Wealth of Nations talks about the feedback of altruistic giving. Smith highlighted that unfettered capitalism isn’t good either. Capitalism isnt defined as materialistic wealth. It is a means where money (capital) is employed in productive use to better improve an individual and hence a society. A byproduct is materialistic wealth but this isn’t what capitalism is.

Go read Wealth of Nations especially the few paragraphs about the Invisible Hand. Capitalism is a system of striving for quality often stymied by regulation and protectionism. By focussing on improving yourself and your business the secondary effect is that it drives your suppliers to raise their game. Hence society appears to benefit all as if that was the intention all along. But if you focus on directly trying to better society, well you end up with communism.

“Looking for the red flags in you” As you get older (I’m in my 40s) the whole deeper purpose of your life begins to really press down. Nietzche at its finest. You compensate. You’re human. You chase women. You chase money. Whatever. And yet real progress is only made by consistency and the grindingly slow process of it. Being aware of that and that it can often be humbling to your ego as a man. That’s the game.

If you look at PU as a method to guarantee getting laid then you didn’t read the label. From The Game days it was always about reframing interactions to better market yourself. Women read you not what you say. But if you are fun or have a certain quality they can’t quite read then they pay attention. However I agree that unless you see the bigger picture of what PU is then you call fall into believing it is the be-all-end-all. And end up getting cultlike.

I often wonder if a contributing factor to white knighting is the recognition that as a man you will always have more power potential than a woman. And this feeling can be unsettling.

It is interesting how women respond and reflect the econosocial aspects of life. They are hardwired to judge resources.

It’s the other way round. Simple walking burns more than weights. There’s a recent OmarIsuf video about this very thing. 1 heavy deadlift burns 3 calories. The effect is more on the nervous system and the stimulus needed for muscle building or maintenance. So especially for men changes in diet and increasing low stress physical activity coupled with lifting and a good nutritional balance are what gets that fat off.

There’s a phenomenon in life that the older you get it becomes more apparent. And it is core to TRP. Life is transactional. It’s easy to say and evangelise. But actually letting it into your core and digesting it can be an eyeopener. Take what you can but have an eye on time scale investment. Always balance near term with long term. Because long term is where you actually win. So if deleting someone right away works for you do it. But test it as well. See how it affects your long term strategy

Great post. One factor that happens, and has happened to me, is when you develop a relationship with a woman, or develop her as a prospect, and you start to come on too strong. Now, too strong here is when you do know what you are doing but feel that maybe you’ve played your hand a bit. Not giving a fuck really helps. But it also helps see that you may have been substituting a deeper issue in your life because it stirred some emotions. So you game instead and then overdo it.

It’s good seeing a comment like this. The whole point of lifting is to build another core aspect of your person i.e strength and health. It isn’t a means to itself. And it certainty isn’t enough to be successful if you have a weak personality. Building your whole self into someone who improves the world around you is a lifelong practice. And stripping away useless shit, hell even becoming aware of useless shit, is a constant task. But that’s how it is. Chop wood and fetch water. Ugly people need…

It sounds like you are focussing on the woman rather than yourself. If you are trying to say have standards for what defines a friend then by all means drop people. But then you have to apply those standards to yourself too. Value yourself first and actively maintain that. Weeding out of people will be a consequence. You don’t have to actively manage that.

One of the consequences of TRP is that you start listening properly to your dick. And by that I don’t mean some superficial “I want to fuck what I see”. That part is your brain interpreting the signals and imposing neediness on it. Actually listen to your dick. It often says “she’s got great form. Escalate” or “don’t touch that with a barge pole”. It is always subtle. Millions of years of programming and with no ego. Learn to clear the brain interpreter and you’ll be grand.

In Thomas Stanley’s The Millionaire Mind, at the time (early 2000s) millionaires had the lowest rate of divorce. And it wasn’t because the wives married when the men where already rich. It was because of certain qualities in the women. The men chose wisely. And to the women, the men needed to be ambitious and have integrity. Integrity can mean being honest but also consistent.

Thinking about this men are actually the selectors. In fact our gender is the active gender. Women are passive and reactive. They punish the weak and fortify the strong, even though the strong don’t need it. The problem is that men often select with the wrong criteria. They are impulsive and have no patience. So when a woman selects it is a reactive decision.

Great point. Just to clarify though: a woman doesn’t lust after you. She lusts after the way she will perceive herself with you. If women are AWALT and master hamsterwheelers it is never about you as an entity. It is always about her perception of herself. It’s a small point.

A better way to look at Game is to think about the Kolb learning cycle. It starts as Active Experimentation and then moves through the cycle reinforcing until you improvise and add to it yourself.

Also don’t succomb to Fuckarounditis. Train with compound movements initially then use cables/dumbbells when you ready. Squat, deadlift, bench, press, pullup, dip and the occasional row. You can always vary the deadlift. See so many skinny leg half squat guys at the gym with great upperbody. Looks odd as fuck.

To sperg for a second: The LLN works when the underlying individual measurements have a common form of distribution. That’s an important key for applying methods. You need to be consistent in the methods as well for the averaging effect to be seen. So whether you do a lot or not you need discipline in what you do to see any effect.

I saw it as an act of desperation on the part of Feminism. And the reason it has passed around social media is the widespread state of leveraging that we are in. Leveraged debt. Leveraged outrage. Leveraged government control. Simplistic thinking. It had enough momentum to stick but it was old before it even got going. It also convoluted a smile with alleged. sexual assault. And there is that word: alleged. When the stories about gay actors came out they were a lot more tactile. But they have mu…

Back in the old days, as in decades ago, there was a technique called Stroking. It was how you get a woman to talk about themselves. It involved listening and adapting i.e good game. It involves rapport and creating a conducive atmosphere. Then all the hidden innuendo can run riot. Like a good movie you don’t speak the premise. So cold approaches need to establish this or have it preestablished by IoI. Much better to small talk and kid around with sales girls.

Yep. All this has been sanctioned by white knights. Only when it’s their son will it hit home the cuckery. Just rewatched Camille Paglia, who is making more sense in her later years (post menopause probably). Men create society to fulfil a sense of purpose, is how she puts it. Women can just be.

That said, having a chiselled face may be an advantage but unless the whole body aesthetic is there it looks odd. Some people have good facial genetics. However have the frame and the face.

The link between atheism and marxism may be due to some of those who aspire to both. Atheism in itself is not Marxism as it is an ideology that there is no God, or more precisely that there is no God as described in religion.

This is a reflection of Nature itself. It is more energy efficient to create a support system than to consistently engage in focused activity. So we have a subconscious mind to deal with monotonous tasks. We have a white noise awareness as default until we need to raise that awareness.

I agree and I'll go one further. This pattern is a consequence of the Least Energy Principle. So it is universal in all complex systems. We have this in ourselves. The conscious and unconscious mind. The conscious mind is a construct (or so it is believed) that is an easier way to just get on with things rather than having to deal with making all those decisions. It wastes too much energy doing that. Much better to create a self perpetuating illusion until that breaks and a new level is formed.
