PHAT fan here, been running it for a bit over a year now with some nSuns (check out the subreddit) now and then. It’s a lot of volume if you’re natty, but that makes you prioritize getting everything in your life in order. Main plus: mixes strength-building and Hypertrophy-focused days, so you get some progression in both.

There’s an app called Momentum (a few bucks, if you can’t afford that then you’ve already failed at life) that tracks habit streaks like described in the post and sends you pop up notifications - I found it helpful. Not affiliated in any way, just sharing since it made a big difference for me.

True - if you want to compete in powerlifting you’d be looking for something totally different than if you want to be amazing at parkour. This advice is targeting the average guy that wants to look fit.

Abs on a skinny guy are like big tits on a fat chick. If you’ve got a gut and blubber under your chin, cut. If your arms aren’t over 14 inches, bulk till you can grab a handful of fat on the belly.

Found an app (iPhone) called “Momentum” which is great for habit forming. I’m not in any way affiliated with them, just found it helpful. You add in habits/tasks you want to do. It records “streaks” where you hit your targets. It can also send you reminders, handy for me since it’s hard to form a dozen habits at once without forgetting some.

The goal is to look a notch above your competition, while not looking like you're out to pick up dudes or a tryhard with nothing better to do than preen in front of the mirror for two hours before going to the grocery store. This varies depending on location. Something appropriate for NYC will look absurd in redneck country. Here's what I consider the essentials for casual wear.

Aspartame kills off your gut bacteria. Gut bacteria are essential for everything - digestion, disease resistance, hormonal control, etc. In other words, a fucked up gut leads to a fucked up body and brain.

I heard an idea put out that logic is how one compensates with a lack of sex (which usually corresponds with low social skills). Makes sense when you look at the majority of men in STEM fields. Hard to say which way the causation is, but the ONLY women I've know who were any good in CS/engineering/logic definitely fell lower on the SMV scale. Takeaway: be very cautious hiring beautiful female engineers.

This could also explain why lower T (more BP) males tend to end up bonding with abusive women instead of nexting, and become idealistic slaves to employers and the company goal even when they don't benefit proportionally to the increased stress. Takeaway: GO LIFT

It can be attractive because of the challenge - if you enjoy confrontation, it makes for a lively time. But long term, it ends up fucked and burns you both out. On the other hand, you can go with a submissive woman, but then end up bored out of your mind because you two get along too damn well. All depends what your goals are. Get married for 50 years and have kids? Learning to handle the boredom is better. Looking for an explosive fling? Go find the bull.

Credentials: 6'2", bulked from 167 to 215 over a four month period last year (some fat gain, but still looked fitter than the average dude). Basics are: eat a lot of food, especially carbs and protein (shoot for 4K cals a day for the first month or two, taper down if you're gaining more fat than you want). get on a good lifting program. sleep enough and optimize your hormones (a few supplements like zinc, magnesium, etc. may help).

Check out this summary: https://chriskresser.com/how-too-much-omega-6-and-not-enough-omega-3-is-making-us-sick/ Basically, omega 6 causes inflammation (bad). Omega 3 is important to "balance out" omega 6, but omega 3 is rare in a typical diet unless you get a lot of fish, fish oil, etc. Omega 6 is pretty common in the diet, so unless you focus on getting omega 3, you're probably not getting enough to balance the omega 6.

Aspartame negatively affects your gut bacteria, which in turns fucks up your whole body from digestion to mood to disease prevention. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/25313461/ If gut bacteria sounds woo-woo, think about it this way: your body is basically a giant bacteria chamber. Throw that balance off one way or another, and you're looking at all kinds of issues from inability to digest nutrients to infections.

There's many certified doctors who disagree which each other. Greger pushes a vegan agenda, he has a strong bias. Not saying he's right or wrong - with how contradictory science is, it's pretty damn hard to tell what's real and what isn't - but it's not all black and white.

If you feel fine, go with it. Anecdotal, but I've noticed many people who "tolerate" gluten do seem to feel better - have less anxiety, depression, and brain fog - by avoiding it. Hard to study scientifically. Then again that could be unrelated to gluten and just be something else in grains.

From my experience, co-habitation would have revealed some things that would have ended the relationship at the right time, instead of finding that shit out after marriage. At the same time, I see the negatives in cohabitation, ESPECIALLY if she's on the lease and you can't kick her out at a moments notice when she becomes intolerable. Seems that that cohabitation would be most appropriate in a very serious / about to propose situation, in a place you either own or have solely your name on the l…

Guess so. According to the study its still more attractive to be a dick waver than a pushover, so I guess the take away is: - get your cocks out - and practice intelligently AMOGing as well when you can. Exactly what lifting makes you want to do, ding ding ding.

Confrontation doesn't have to be overt, in a butthurt or physical way, which is where it usually would be unattractive (in most parts of today's society). Dominance through top-notch social game over a guy coming to get your girl is extremely confrontational, but very attractive.
/r/TheRedPill23/07/17 04:47 AM

In that case the confrontativeness is diminishing social respect, canceling out attraction. Now suppose the guy is confrontative to a threat to the perceived "tribe" or group, which causes him to gain social respective - massive multiplicative attraction spike. Makes sense from an evolutionary perspective.

Something to keep in mind is that if you've got your game and SMV other than looks in order, sometimes the hotter ones are easier to attract. For example, a girl 5-8 wants to think she's a 9 or 10, so she can get with the very good looking guys. If you're not one, she'll blow you out of the water and give you tons of shit. A 9-10 has already been with the handsome Chads. There's no mystery in them for her, she's been there, done that. Many of them are just as interested in a guy who can give the…

A tribe with a leader who lacked any sense of altruism wouldn't get too far. I don't have the link, but recall reading that high testosterone males in peaceful situations were more likely to demonstrate dominant altruistic/generous behavior, while low testosterone was correlated with increased aggression. I believe that flipped in stressful/pressure circumstances, where the high testosterone (alpha) then displayed aggression when necessary. Don't recall if this was in humans or wolves.

Props for making these decisions, and a tangible plan.

Ran into one guy who I've hung out with outside meetups, two others who I might. I have no doubt you'd find people to hang out with, or at least they'd end up introducing you to people to hang out with. In my case most of the people are around 1hr away from where I live, so not too practical as hangout friends just due to geography. Also, I'm moving out of the area in a couple months so haven't been particularly pushing to find buddies.

Yeah, been doing 1-2 a week (plus 2x a week for a dance class I found through meetups) for the last month or so. Had my hesitations too about meetups, since hanging out with a bunch of people who don't have friends sounds like it could get shitty quick, but they've been ok and met some cool people. They're like a hardcore mode in some weird social survival game - you get dropped into a group of people, where usually nobody knows each other, and you try to AMOG your way to the top in a few hours.…

Yeah man, that's pretty much where I'm at now too.

If that was always the case then LTRs wouldn't make it past a day or two. Some women are able to control their urges. Doesn't mean they don't get the urges. Doesn't mean they'll always keep controlling the urges, hence the AWALT warning of TRP.

First it's your friends. Then it's your hobbies. Then it's your family. Then it's your house. Then it's whatever goddam little thing she can find, from a nose hair to an imagined vocal tone. Then she's gone with your cash. Or, just nip it in the bud early on. Then again, if these are toxic people who aren't contributing to your life, they're not worth having around. But make it clear to her that's why you're cutting them off, not because you're appeasing her.

BPDs biggest fear is being abandoned. Sometimes this works out and they'll abandon you before you can abandon them. To ensure they won't be abandoned, they need to control you as much as possible. Being alpha is more likely to get her to abandon you first (but watch out for violent aggression as retaliation), being beta turns you into her voodoo doll that she so desperately wants and will cling to.

Watch Craig Ferguson on YouTube. He's a master of seeding sexual innuendo in a non threatening way then playing it off as he's innocent and she's dirty. Throw in somewhat subtle double entendres.

When she says it a lot, she's got intense feelings. Those intense feelings can pretty quickly switch from "I love I love I love" to "I hate I hate I hate".

Very true, but it's also easy to slip into constant R&D mode, without actually applying that R&D. For example, I can watch 100 videos on boxing form and technique, but until I actually go spar, it's useless. But then again, if you go spar without a solid understanding and practice of that technique, you're just going to get your ass kicked and not really improve. Figuring out that criteria or signs to develop the balance of R&D and action is what I'm finding tricky.

Also may help recovery because it increases cell volume, but don't expect steroid-level gains or anything. Can't say scientifically how much the beta-alanine and l-citrulline do, but the…

Definitely preferable, or at least cheap (e.g coffee). Even if it was a coffee date, I'd WANT to just pay the whole bill, but here's the dilemma. That sets up the dynamic that the woman will never need to invest in the relationship, because I'll be doing all the investing.

Protein is made of multiple amino acids; so one type of protein doesn't necessarily have all the same amino acids as another type of protein. You need multiple amino acids present at once to build muscle. So the best bet is to mix a bunch of different types of protein to increase the chance they're all present at the same time - e.g eating some eggs, chicken, and lentils at the same time or over the afternoon is better than just pounding a protein shake.

Depends on your ability to recover - by getting nutrition and sleep on point I have no problem lifting every day, but when those weren't solid I'd need a few days in between.

JCrew shirts for $10, Lucky jeans for $20 each, grab a few tshirts on sale at Old Navy, office clothes for dirt cheap from Uniqlo, etc.

Being dominated by and building sexual tension with a sales associate isn't enjoyable. Being dominated by and building sexual tension with a man who you feel attracted to is a totally different ballgame (FOR THE GIRL... probably some of you too).

Here's my take on it. "You're cute." Pros: - assertive (not asking questions, making statements, dominant) - immediately indicates your intent (I'm not here to be your friend) - charming However, this is only good if your SMV is obviously higher than hers, in which case it's a decent opener. Cons: - doesn't give her much of a hook to to continue the conversation with. "Thanks... you too?" - immediately indicates your intent, which activates bitch shield (unless she feels her SMV is much lower th…

Sounds like there's not potential then, if that's your boundary. EDIT: BUT, you could indirectly drop something about it in conversation so she knows that if she wants your commitment, she's going to have to adapt. Then you're not controlling or owning her, just setting your boundaries. Or if she pressures you for commitment just be direct about this scenario.

There's some value to be gained from lurking. 1) Gives you a way to contact / reconnect with old friends / family you wouldn't normally call up out of the blue or don't have their number. Having a picture or their post to make small talk about makes it less awkward than "hey... got a minute... we haven't talked in a year... soo what's up." 2) Quick chunks of information and/or motivation.

Some amount of giving a fuck is required if you want any success in society. Your presence on a sexual strategy forum means that you most certainly give some of a fuck. Too much is bad, sure, but too little means you're going to be one lonely autistic dude. My friends aren't the type who take many pictures of shit we do, neither am I, so there's not much to post on social media. Plus once you dive into the motivation for posting, it's purely because of giving too much of a fuck.

Macros are the most important - carbs, fats, protein. Easiest rules of thumb would be: 1) Eat 160g of protein a day (might be able to do more or less if you really want to get into it, but start there). So that's around a pound of meat, six eggs, a protein shake or two. 2) Shoot for at least 60g of fat a day. You need this for hormones (e.g testosterone) that cause you to build muscle. 3) Fill in the rest of the calories with carbs. For me that's around 300-400g of carbs a day. Carbs make a big …

Two decent reasons to lift instead of fight that may or may not apply to you: 1) You're skinnier than you want and want to bulk on some muscle. 2) Lifting will give you more of a hormonal boost (testosterone, etc), which supports applying a lot of RP philosophy.

What are some meet-ups/hobbies where you've found there's a higher chance of meeting sub-30's decent women? My work and most of my hobbies are either very masculine or solo, so probably need to pick a more social female friendly one to throw in the mix, for example, painting, which I somewhat enjoy but can see that turning into me and a bunch of 50 year old women sitting in a field somewhere... waste of time.

For someone addicted/desensitized by porn to the point it's affecting their "real" sex life, I can see the point of no-fap. Seems that they would get the same benefit by just cutting out the porn, but it's a little bit like a recovering alcoholic - don't go to a bar if you're trying not to drink. However, porn aside, couldn't the same benefits be achieved in other ways? For example, zinc deficiency lowers testosterone. Semen is a prime way to lose zinc, along with other essential minerals. Most …

Absolutely. But let's make up some statistics - let's say 100% of options you'd want to purse are on birth control (because you don't want kids), and 75% of woman dislike beards, that's making your net damn small. In the end I'd say fuck it all, the beard is for me, but maybe not if that disqualifies 95% of women.

Could hurt if they're on birth control and looking for something less intimidating.

As a proud owner of a largish (but trimmed) beard, how does that play into all of this? More alpha or beta to women? Seems more alpha (leonidas) but then again there's plenty of weird chumps with beards (zach galifanakis)

Solid points. Depending on your goals, blocking is a good cure for oneitis, when it is absolutely imperative you do NOT re-establish contact for your own mental health.

Solid advice, thanks. You framing the lone wolf situation as an opportunity rather than a liability gives some very good perspective.

Abundance mentality - forget her, who knows, maybe that'll trigger her interest, maybe not, you won't notice because you moved on. To play it safe, keep texts for logistics only. To spice it up a little, say something funny once in a while. Or say something funny to open then set up logistics. Can't go wrong by texting less than they do.

I'm the same way, plus don't want to be "that guy". One of the trainers wears a shit ton of cologne and hits on every girl there, that's cool and all, but ehh doesn't make him seem like a cool dude for some reason. At the same time, don't want to make illegitimate excuses NOT to approach, since that's an easy habit to get into. Haven't really figured out a good place to practice game outside of the gym yet, other than forced interactions e.g baristas. Could do cold approaches on lunch breaks, bu…

Sounds like you know what the issue is. I agree... I'm no expert at this but I'd say less words, more humor, would help you out. Your texts have more of the tone of a concerned dad, not a potential lover, and sound like you're digging for her attention rather than providing her with value (humor). Just taking a guess, but if you're feeling needy, it's because you want her attention, and if you want her attention, it's because you're not getting as much attention as you want. Two options - you co…

What are some good tips to be more approachable? I've noticed that when I go to make eye contact with girls (e.g walking past), they tend to look down within a second and seem somewhat nervous/jarred. Can't tell if that's because it comes across as creepy, or overly assertive, or something else. Would like for it to turn into conversation, but if they already knee-jerk looked away, escalating into conversation seems creepier. Dudes usually stare back and then you can say a "hey what's up man" an…

It's pretty amazing how long conversations can go on without ever actually saying anything about yourself by asking the other person questions, and the other person usually doesn't realize it.

What is it that's triggered in you when a girl shows interest? A bad experience in the back of your head, a fear... there's something... Once you get to the root of that and deal with it, the results will follow without having to consciously try and wait to text her, etc.

+1 for meditation. Anything that reduces anxiety will help. It's all about being in and fully focusing on the moment, instead of subconsciously focusing on the stress coming up from what that moment is triggering in you (which leaves you with no energy to give a solid verbal uppercut).

How much do you like the label "Cap'n save-a-ho"? Not much? There you go, every time the thoughts come up, say "Don't be Cap'n-save-a-ho", laugh, and soon it'll be a reflex/habit.

Agreed, quite possibly just water weight from increase carbs. Last fall I bulked from 167 to 210 in about three months, some of that was definitely fat, although not as much as you'd expect. Trying the experiment again now.

Keeping the wrist locked straight is supposed to be better, for example on overhead presses your hand usually wants to tilt back toward your face, which leads to pain and stress on the wrist.

Heavy weights cause your body to produce more testosterone, among other things. That's the essence of red pill from what I've gathered.

Hardest part is getting the conversation started - picking something that's not too boring, not too complicated, and not weird. Just look around the room and comment on something, or on something they're wearing, etc. To keep it going, just 1) sort of comment on what they said, then 2) ask them a follow up question about whatever they said. Repeat.... Commenting on what they said keeps it from sounding like you're interrogating them, and following it up with a question means they can talk about …

Made it to the gym everyday. Doing a program I wrote up that about 3x as much volume as I'm used to, but bases the number of sets on current percentage of my goal size for each body part. Sciencing the shit out of this one. Always been worried about overtraining / a bit lazy, so this was a big mental hurdle to get over. Took my first boxing class (never did any fighting/MMA). Kicked my ass, not used to any cardio, was afraid I'd have to walk out half way through but pushed through to the end. Fu…

The loneliest I've ever been was in LTR's and marriage. Your options for everything - hobbies, friends, good times, just plain emotional happiness - become unbelievably limited. Chew on that for a bit. Don't waste your time hoping it's the magic bullet, the grass is always greener.

Just plain old lifting might help it. After a good deadlift session he's definitely not dead and lifting quite well.

Sounds like you know what you're doing with that stack, I do the same one except with zinc in the morning instead of night (heard zinc & magnesium compete for absorption). Aren't the negative keto effects supposed to balance out after a while though? The exhaustion could also have been from pushing too hard in workouts + college stress + alcohol on the weekends combined with keto... but still didn't notice those effects when on higher carbs. If you want to cut and like keto, IMHO go for it. Defi…

I did pretty strict keto (under 30g carbs a day, a ton of fat, 160g protein, with a carb-up day on weekends) for about a year, then ate mostly low carb (100g a day) for the next handful of years, and am now back to high carb (>300g carbs a day). Keto was interesting. Positive effects: Lots of mental clarity. I tend toward ADD/anxiety, keto made my brain feel like it had just drank a beer or meditated for a while.

Gonna sound weird, but try making sure you get 80g of fat a day in your diet. Your body makes all the joocy hormones from that fat. If I only get 40g a day or so, there's a noticeable difference. Eggs and/or peanut butter make it easy to keep up. Olive and coconut oil on everything.

Anecdotal, but I used to always do this (because I legit did want to friendzone them) and it backfired a lot just like OP said. Not sure if it's optimal but it does add "the challenge" that's required. Maybe there's better ways to create the challenge though with less risk of actually getting friendzoned yourself.

The criticism think ain't all bad. I think there's two ways to handle it: Way 1) Hostile criticism - I think most start here, for example, ever know someone who used to have a drinking problem? Then once they got it under control, suddenly they got real judgmental and critical of anyone having a beer? They're criticizing their reflection and fear of who they were. If you ever read King, Warrior, Magician, Lover (good book), it's a bit like the ungrounded sadist warrior archetype, wanting to crus…

From what I've read, it doesn't really make a difference in actual T levels. Some T increase around after a week of abstinence, but then it drops again, and increase is negligible. Abstinence does give a mental boost bought. I'd rather just take maca.

Solid stack. Two things I'd add (from experience): Maca root, its a powder, throw a tablespoon in your yogurt or whatever in the morning. Boosts your libido and life-drive-energy-whatever you want to call it through the roof. You could use this as a coffee substitute. Doesn't necessarily directly boost test (studies are contradictory), but it does... something that feels similar. After starting maca I went from barely being able to make it through an hour of lifting to easily going 2-3 hours and…

Doesn't matter what your inner dialogue is, just matters how excited you are about it (she's sponging up your emotions not words). Talk about how the chemtrails look, talk about hearing a frog on the discovery channel, talk about how you remember seeing those eery chemtrails in the sky, talk about how you realized oh my god that frog is a transvestite, how passionate you are about saving nature... some bullshit like that.
