| 1 | Can someone explain if weed made me depressed?Quit the vice. Stop trying to find the middle ground of "smoke a different strain" or "do it with the right people". These are just easy lies to justify something which generally does not drive you forward. | /r/askTRP | 19/01/20 06:21 PM |
| 6 | Someone help me, please. My life is spiraling and I’m losing the battle.Women, your need for them, and your ex are the least of your problems. Sorting yourself out is your immediate priority. Women coming in to your life are the result of a properly lived existance, you need to get that in order first. There are a lot of holidays coming up- use them to plan and organize for a better 2020. 2019 is over, its time to get out a peice of paper and begin planning and organizing a life that you would want to live.

When you have these in order internally, external obstacles are easier to handle. Frame is never a goal in itself, but the result of improvement in other areas. | /r/askTRP | 22/12/19 12:27 AM |

| 16 | I try to put myself in social environments but once I'm there I don't know what to do with myselfSome guys will really thrive in bars where a big personality can expand and take charge. If your a more introverted / intellectual type, which you seem to be, then you won't do well in this kind of enviroment. For a guy like you, if I am correct, you will do much better with social circle game, and 1 on 1 dates, where acual conversation matters more. You can still be powerful in these scenarios with a sharp wit, good posture, and a lot of prolonged eye contact. Its possible to get better in thes… | /r/askTRP | 23/11/19 08:11 PM |
| 2 | The only male at LTR’s birthday partyNot going means you're weak and can't handle being around a lot of women. You should go, chat with people and with ultra subtlety flirt with her hotter friends, and enjoy talking with other women. If you can pull this off properly, and with class and maturity, it works wonders for your confidence, social skills, and value in the eyes of your partner. | /r/askTRP | 23/11/19 07:51 PM |

| 1 | How to deal with rejection?Sexual marketplace dynamics are are like wealth in that the market share is skewed towards the top. Essentially, average dude or below = very few dates and little interest, high value man with game = constant attention and easy dates. You have to become better if you want abundance. In this game, average = below average. It'll take a few years to get where you want to be. Keep that in mind, and keep going. | /r/askTRP | 23/11/19 07:41 PM |

This guy is talking to your girl about sex parties and “exploring her sexuality” and you didn’t do anything? Where are your boundaries? If you rolled up to a girl and talked about the same subject matter would you or would you not be trying to sleep with her? Obvious answer... and your GF knows it too. Unless your GF is radically unintelligent she knows this guy is trying to make plays and she’s entertaining it. Loyal, quality women don’t… | /r/askTRP | 22/04/19 07:43 PM |
| 1 | The exploitation of NihilismI would respectfully disagree. Society has completely abdicated its responsibility to pass on masculinity to the next generation. Young men have no guidance. TRP is attempting to remedy this terrible situation. Fixing problems with women is the first step of TRP. However, if we collectively agree that this aim is all we represent then we are no different than a glorified PUA forum. I think TRP can and is becoming more then that. | /r/TheRedPill | 20/04/19 01:49 AM |
| 3 | Need a mentor and some advice to get me out of this holes of anger, lazyiness and sadnessRead my post on journaling in the main TRP subreddit, it may help you. A few words of advice: Ditch toxic people immediately, they bring you down and allow you to rationalize bad habits and dysfunctional patterns of behavior. From where you are starting it will take a long time to see substantial changes. Understand this, and always keep it in mind when you feel stagnation. Build your ambition by continuous improvement. Look back on where you started to see how far you've come. Because you can l… | /r/askTRP | 17/04/19 07:31 PM |
| 2 | Is it possible to accelerate self improvement?It takes time for worthy investments to pay off. Drugs and clubbing are easy. Study, gym, and improvement are hard. Because your young you can’t see how much your paths will eventually diverge. After 5 years you will look back and see them leading pathetic lives of quiet desperation and hedonistic indulgence. Wasted time, wasted health, wasted money, wasted potential. No man ever bettered himself by picking up the habits of losers.

| 2 | A Method of Journaling: Increase Your Understanding and Know ThyselfThe quotes/principles section is small because it’s for the information of the utmost quality. I have gone through entire books and not found one quote or principle that was worth adding to the quotes/principles section. Not that these were bad books, just that they didn’t have those gems of information. It’s totally fine to record decent quality quotes in the main body of your journal. I do this often. If one of my entries only takes up half a page then it’s totally fine to just leave a space a… | /r/TheRedPill | 16/04/19 06:30 PM |

| 3 | A Method of Journaling: Increase Your Understanding and Know ThyselfIn my experience the internet (for its size) contains a very small amount of actual personal development content. Most material is devoted to easily digestible concepts and getting rich. You have to search a long time to find anything decent or worth noting. Because of this, books are ususally the way to go. | /r/TheRedPill | 11/04/19 07:05 PM |
| 3 | A Method of Journaling: Increase Your Understanding and Know ThyselfFinding your mission is difficult and takes time. Yes this method helped me greatly in finding my mission. In fact, I would say it was the only reason I found it. Keep in mind your career and your mission can be different. It is totally acceptible to work a decent job to pay the bills and work on your mission on the side. Example: Work a decent marketing job while completing your first album in your spare time. | /r/TheRedPill | 10/04/19 07:08 PM |
| 3 | A Method of Journaling: Increase Your Understanding and Know ThyselfI always recommend going the with the physical route. The reason is that you will get a more focused period of relfection when you have no other option but to reflect. Also this method will help you retain information because you write it and don't type it. Try heading over to Amazon and buy a cheap hardcover notebook. Try writing for a month. If you hate it, maybe typing is the way to go. | /r/TheRedPill | 10/04/19 04:03 PM |
| 4 | A Method of Journaling: Increase Your Understanding and Know ThyselfA few times a week right now. The longest I go without writing is usually about a week. | /r/TheRedPill | 10/04/19 03:59 PM |
| 3 | A Method of Journaling: Increase Your Understanding and Know ThyselfThat looks suitable, good suggestion. My very first journal was a 5$ notebook. Now I buy them off Etsy because I like the leather and hardcover type books. You really only need something that is of sufficient quality to last approximately 2 years. A nice one will encourage you to write in it. | /r/TheRedPill | 10/04/19 03:59 PM |
| 3 | A Method of Journaling: Increase Your Understanding and Know ThyselfJournaling is a skill, like any other, that you can develop mastery in, but it will take trial and error, years of practice and focused effort. Completely agree, comparing my earliest journals to now shows a huge increase in quality. | /r/TheRedPill | 10/04/19 03:49 PM |
| 10 | A Method of Journaling: Increase Your Understanding and Know ThyselfThank you, I appreciate it. | /r/TheRedPill | 10/04/19 03:46 PM |
| 16 | A Method of Journaling: Increase Your Understanding and Know ThyselfFrom a purely stats point of view I agree excel is the way to go. If your journal consists of a ton of lifting stats/dietary macros/milage tracking paper would get tedious. Where I think the physical way comes in is that it allows you to have a deeper level of focus because there is no nagging temptation to do other things. It’s just you, your mind, a pen, and a book. In addition to this studies have shown that physical writing helps with retention. | /r/TheRedPill | 10/04/19 05:53 AM |
| 2 | I'm a fraud/faker. Deep down inside I'm miserable and lonely. What to do with these feelings ?A few things: Understand that self-hate is recursive. You look in the mirror at someone you consider a fraud who also hates themselves and you hate them. Improve and develop to where you look in the mirror and you see a man you respect. How does respect work? You respect people who are moral, productive, disciplined, skilled, confident, and contribute to society. See yourself practice these qualities and when you look in the mirror you can have self-respect because you see yourself act them out.… | /r/askTRP | 10/04/19 12:38 AM |
| 84 | Ex Girlfriend becoming close with New GFLets put her mental rationalizations into plain language and see if it makes sense. "I will become close friends with the women my exboyfriend who dumped me is now fucking. I will do this simply because she is a nice person and I have no other ulterior motives." If that quotation seems reasonable to you then you have nothing to worry about. If not, you better watch yourself. | /r/askTRP | 10/04/19 12:05 AM |
| 5 | Crab bucket mentality with close friend.Toxic person. If is difficult to stop envy from destroying friendships. As you rise higher he may grow to despise you. In addition to that it sounds like he adds no value to your life- another reason to cut him off. "Smoke weed and listen to sad music." Words never spoken by any man who made something of his life. My advice: Buy Robert Greene's book Laws of Human Nature and read the section on envy. If he oscillates between hostility and being nice to you then there is little doubt that he shoul… | /r/askTRP | 10/04/19 12:01 AM |
| 3 | How to converse?Always just keep the conversation on them. Boo the villains, cheer the heros. Say little of yourself and only give them small, interesting, and easy to understand peices of philosophy or anything intellectual. Most women don't care for intellectual type conversations. If you want that go to talk to men or find the few women who are interested. | /r/askTRP | 09/04/19 11:53 PM |
| 4 | Nuke the hamsterDon’t go nuclear. If you spurn her she will use her influence to evict you or cause trouble. Roll up with awful breath or just be boring and play the fool. Avoid unnecessary contact. Glad that for once I didn’t have to read a post on asktrp asking if it was ok to smash your landlords wife. | /r/askTRP | 09/04/19 06:19 PM |
| 2 | How to be more humble?Journal your greatest failings and review then yearly. | /r/askTRP | 09/04/19 06:15 PM |
| 3 | What would you recommend for an emergency 'pick me up'?Buying drugs to alleviate your happiness will only build the pattern you explicitly said you were trying to destroy. If your first thought is “Something bad happened, what cheap dopamine can I get so I don’t have to cope?” Your practicing dysfunctional behaviour patterns and solidifying them. Man up, be stoic, and counteract this pattern by accelerating your development in other ways. While others get depressed and turn to drugs when fortune slaps them you become even more motivated to succeed. | /r/askTRP | 09/04/19 06:11 PM |
| 2 | Gf flirted with my brother in front of me, how do I react?No contact. Block her on all forms of communication. If you have her shit give it to one of her friends or drop it off at her place. No contact is critical. Do not engage. Don't talk to your brother about this. All he needs to know is that you broke up. He doesn't need to know anything more than that. | /r/askTRP | 08/04/19 04:01 PM |

Here's some advice: When you are in an a LTR you are repeatedly dousing your brain in chemicals. These chemicals are more structurally similar to street drugs then they are similar to sugar. Its dopamine from sex and other intimate interactions and oxytocin from more cuddling-like behaviors. You grow "addicted" to these chemicals over time… | /r/askTRP | 08/04/19 03:56 PM |
| 1 | Concerned about Bloodwork and Low-T at 20Organic broccoli with hummus is my favourite, organic spinach is good too. Rice is essentially nutritionally dead, sub out some rice for broccoli and hummus or spinach salad. If nothing else see a doctor, could be something else going on. | /r/askTRP | 08/04/19 03:39 PM |
| 3 | Gf flirted with my brother in front of me, how do I react?Your attempting to hamster away radically unacceptable behaviour. That’s why most people only needed 5 paragraphs to say “next” while you wrote 10. If she’s flirty with your own brother after a few drinks imagine what she’s going to be like with a better looking man when she’s drunk. Actions not words. Untrustworthy, disrespectful, duplicitous, manipulative, gaslighted you, next. | /r/askTRP | 08/04/19 03:36 PM |
| 2 | Concerned about Bloodwork and Low-T at 20Your diet is suboptimal, add dark leafy greens, fermented foods for digestion, add in healthy cholesterol from organic eggs, radically reduce sugar and absolutely no seed oils. Do not microwave food in plastic containers. Do not drink IPA beer. Heavy compound lifting and competitive sports. Proper sleep. Good luck. | /r/askTRP | 08/04/19 03:20 PM |
| 1 | Best path on how to improve and develop myself?Good advice from mrmaldoror. I would like to add that keeping a journal is an excellent way of tracking progress. Also, if you do it long enough you can detect patterns in your behavior that would otherwise go unnoticed. This allows you to improve in a much deeper way. | /r/askTRP | 08/04/19 04:03 AM |
| 3 | What is the purpose of life if AWALT?AWALT applies to female psychology and behavioral patterns. AWALT doesn't entail that all women have slept with 20+ men. Quality women with low numbers exist. It takes judgement, time, and experience to detect them. There is always purpose in life. Right now you seem confused and far too focused on women. First: Focus on yourself. Control your thoughts and emotions. Lift and be healthy. Study TRP and once you've mastered the principles study other subjects like psychology. Second: Over a period … | /r/askTRP | 08/04/19 03:59 AM |

Will put explanation of everything in the comments if soIf your struggling mentally, and in a serious way, you need more help then we can give you here. A few things: "I opened up to her and showed my demons and ended up super super depressed and not leaving bed for days at a time." Women despise weakness universally. Women want a man who can destroy his own demons and the demons of others. Its tough, its sad, its the truth. With women you must carry the burden alone.

You don't fuck crazy for a few of the following reasons: False rape charge False allegations of misconduct against you "Accidental" pregnancy Telling her friends you are abusive Causing her mental state to worsen, leading to further destruction of her life and others. When you have sex with a women you are giving her some power over you. BP women will wield this power in ways normal humans don't consider. Stay away. | /r/askTRP | 07/04/19 10:49 PM |
| 2 | Texting only for logistics failed. Need a help to learn and improveSometimes giving a phone call is best because you can: Show confidence cause most men are too pussy to actually call a female. Sort out everything right then and there. Save time and effort, if she gives you an excuse or flakes move on. No way to misinterpret that. Texting only for logistics is generally a good rule of thumb. Only betas are willing to put in the time and effort to send blocks of texts to a girl who they can't sleep with and is not their gf. If you have wit using it in texting … | /r/askTRP | 07/04/19 10:44 PM |
| 1 | How many of you have Taken trp?One of the most critical peices of advice I can give you that took me many years to learn is as follows: Drugs offer only false enlightenment. We confound the feeling of emotional renewal and novelty with the aquisition of genuine knowledge. Real understanding is gained only through rational observation, study, and time. There is no shortcuts. Many will disagree. | /r/askTRP | 07/04/19 03:43 AM |

| 13 | Starting to not care even while lifting...Life can be as boring or interesting as you want it to be. Boredom is often reflection of your inner state. Not of life itself. Life is deep, complex, and fascinating. Cultivate a holistic sense of worldy interest in your mind. Be interested in life and in people to make life more interesting. Desire to know, develop, understand, and grow. | /r/askTRP | 07/04/19 03:30 AM |
| 1 | For those of you who have had success implementing a TRP lifestyle, when you started out, did have trouble getting second dates at first?Everyone struggles. The RP is like any other skill, it takes years. No one ever ran a 10 second 100m sprint without years of hard training. No one ever came to enlightenment by reading a couple good books in one year. Keep going, keep developing. You can increase your SMV far more then you think. Lift, style, intelligence, hobbies. Eat well and take care of your skin. Get nice haircuts. If you got that many dates and closed a few you are miles ahead of most. Look back and see how far you’ve come… | /r/askTRP | 07/04/19 02:06 AM |
| 2 | How do you figure out what your mission is?It will take different people a different amount of time to get a deep answer to this question. Some people are born with a natural ability to know their mission. Some people find it in adolescence. Some people are taken by the currents of society and culture and never find it and remain unhappy and unfulfilled. Depending on your condition it can take anywhere from a month of solid reflection to four years of extensive self-analysis. It’s a harsh truth that some people don’t want to accept. Self… | /r/askTRP | 07/04/19 01:57 AM |
| 7 | How can one be happy if he is surrounded by whores and people beneath him like cucks and tools?Don’t think in dichotomies. Life is more complicated then whore/Madonna and cuck/chad. All of these archetypes exist, but most exist between the two poles. Hone judgement and experience to detect and plate quality women. Hone judgement and experience to detect and invest in good male friendships. Happiness is like any other subject. Gather experience, study eminent men who have written on the subject, and cultivate psychological health and maturity. You will get there. | /r/askTRP | 07/04/19 01:40 AM |

Amazing athletes, skilled musicians, socially adept and charismatic people, geniuses, high-achievers ect. Mix these traits to increase value. Ie athlete and good student who can play the piano. Cool people are nearly always charismatic and enjoyable to spend time with. They add value to the group. What value to the group do you bring? And how much? | /r/askTRP | 06/04/19 10:19 PM |

"If you have ever come on a dense wood of ancient trees that have risen to an exceptional height, shutting out all sight of the sky with one thick screen of branches upon another, the loftiness of the forest, the seclusion of the spot, your sense of the wonder at finding so deep and unbroken a gloom out of doors, will persuade you of the presence of a deity… | /r/askTRP | 06/04/19 08:47 PM |

You are beginning this relationship with the intention of ending it. Why commit and limit freedom and options when you can not commit, keep freedom, and still get the same benefits?

This is not the case. Understand what is lurking below the surface but also know that some/a few women are capable of restraint and faithfulness.

Never underestimate the effects that depressed, unambitious, bored people have on your mind. They are worse then poison. At least with poison you become ill and realize the toxicity. Be aware that some people do not want to be cured of their depression, for some highly toxic people this is their mechanism for gaining attention and power over others.

It's about eliminating dysfunctional patterns and beliefs screw men's lives up in a major way. It's about bringing what you believe line with what reality actually is.

It is strange to consider that a mere human will, something immaterial and seemingly vague is the force that builds countries, or launches a rocket into space, or changes the world for the better.

| 1 | Just a thought.In Logic: Women want to date a man whom they consider to be of either equal or higher value to them. A pedestal is a piece of furniture used to elevate an object of value beyond its natural height. If you pedestalize a woman you elevate her. Hence, if she is of relatively equal or greater value to you she is now above you. Hence, she will not want you, because from her view on the pedestal you are below her. In Aphorism: Pedestalizing women puts you below them. | /r/askTRP | 04/04/19 06:19 PM |

One of the biggest ideas Dostoyevsky tried to convey his whole life is the idea that we can instill goodness in others and spead benificence throughout the world. It all starts with yourself.

| 6 | How to get over Ex while in a new LTR?Understand that spending a significant amount of time with a woman intimately is a form of conditioning. It will alter your base state of mind. Your brain comes to be addicted to the oxytocin gained from cuddling/intimacy/post-sex in addition to the hits of dopamine. Once this source is withdrawn your brain will essentially go "WTF!" and pester you about what the withdrawal is about. This is normal.
