What baffles me more is taht endorsed contributors who browse asktrp actually treat people with questions like they are their plates, with A&A and all the shit. Inexcusable. If you just want to validate yourself, go do it somewhere else. You're supposed to be helpful to people, not an idiot using the very toolkit that you use with your plates.

What bothers me with this "avoid comparing yourself with others" is that sooner or later someone will compare me with another to pick me for anything: Girl, employer, investor. So why is it so bad when I do it in order to see where I am standing and weigh my overall odds? Another thing is that, if I were to somehow combine all my past characteristics that I ditched (blue pill mentality and all that shit) and see the exact behaviors in another guy, I'm supposed to not feel better than him, yet wh…

You're comparing the method of attracting the opposite sex with the deeply biological attraction in itself. Those are 2 completely different things. Me throwing my money to her while trying to be different than her previous "asshole" boyfriend: a method to show that I'm interested. Me getting turned on by her hot body and blue eyes: Innate feeling of attraction.

Sometimes, when you think you can't get something, it appears more valuable. As Kanye rhymed in "Classic" - "by the time you could afford it, the car ain't important". When you're able to get something just like that, it's nothing special. My whole life in a nutshell. I would always go insane to get that job that felt too far away for me, that girl that felt to be out of reach for my SMV and as soon as I'd feel close to the goal the effect would go away. I still can't understand why. Most likely…

Most of the social values are spot on only because smart people were at the right place at the right time and decided that integrating traditional perceived social behaviors that promote integrity and ethics in society will make the product called "religion" sell better.
/r/TheRedPill17/09/15 05:33 PM

As a vocal atheist I have to emphasize: The whole situation with religion only proves the average human's tendency to stop thinking critically as soon as the results are aligned with his feelings. That is not how you arrive at a truth. That's how you arrive to a desired conclusion. Then you have dumb fucks paraphrasing famous philosophers who claim "there is no truth" bullshit, out of context.

You can experience the lack of critical thinking everywhere. Just see the nofap sub. Nobody ever questions the findings of the so called cited experiments and if you dare suggest that masturbation isn't evil in itself they'll stone downvote you to oblivion. I followed no porn instead and couldn't be happier.

I think the important message here is: Be authentic, confident and outcome independent without concerning yourself with whether you're "acting alpha now or not". It's like, remember when you gave a fuck about people's opinions to the point of supplicating them in order to do ok with them, and once you went TRP you began giving zero fucks and magically the people you meet respect you? Same deal. Once you start giving zero fucks whether you satisfy the "alpha group" requirements, you'll actually b…

LOL! All jokes aside, even a neutral "hrmh I watched that documentary and I have mixed impressions..." can be interpreted as a sign of misogyny to rabid feminists. They're going full Lannister in thinking "if you're not with our side then you're against us".

Off topic but your reference to the intelligent alpha reminded me how much I'd love to see a bi-daily/weekly featured post from the past. There are truly some gems hidden that people new to the sub don't even know how to look for them - and I'm obviously not talking about top posts.

It's just a societal thing now that computers are for men. You're wrong. Computers were always for both. Women avoid getting into it not because misogynistic shitlords hold the doors shut but because they're not interested. But admitting that a smaller percentage of women are interested in programming vs. the percentage of men who are doesn't really sound useful to rampant feminists.

but why the direct, personal attacks? What's to gain? As always, people desire to paint the ones who disagree with using extreme colors, in order to 1) discourage others from getting curious about it and 2) it's the reverse halo effect.

The Red Pill can only teach you the rules of the game. The Red Pill can't actually make you better at the game. Because as Morpheus said, "there's a difference between knowing the path, and walking the path".

I may not have been married but I had oneitis and as I was browsing some social media the site decided to suggest her as a contact, and I was "fuck my life", with all the usual impulsive reactions. Yet, one guy from this sub gave me the best solution: GFTOW, which means "go fuck ten other women". They don't have to be exactly 10 but you get the idea.

I wouldn't go as far as dropping trp for later as he can do both. There's nothing in trp that's contradictory or of lesser value (he can still lift, read) and he can integrate approaches much later.

Having a big ego doesn't have a big downside I know that in my case, my big ego resulted in being shy until a few months ago, not because I was socially awkward but because I would rather prefer to keep a pristine self-image than test and see where I fall short. Actually, this is also the reason why I was procrastinating to learn programming, but I managed to work on that. That "ego" feeling in this case isn't dead yet - but it's a matter of time.

Don't compare yourself to others, whether you see them as above or below you. Indeed, I figured that comparing myself with others made me feel inadequate all the time, and instead of dropping the notion of comparison altogether, I still do it. This is going to be hard but it's for my own good. Even from a self-interest perspective I can tell that, down the road it will inevitably make more foes than friends for me and I can see myself slipping back into negative thinking when the results of comp…

His main idea, that there are women who enjoy rejecting even the hot man who approaches them just to get their ego boosted, holds a lot of merit. As to "what happened to this sub": Hyperbole happened. That doesn't prove they're wrong, that just proves they're overreacting (erroneously in my opinion) to prove a point that can be proved without it.

Can confirm. Years ago, my oneitis was reported to be dancing "oops, I did it again" in a club, 1-2 days after rejection. Knowing they are wanted so much they make men go depressive/miserable when they're not around is their drug. I'll go a step further: Don't let external things outside of your control define your self-esteem and self-worth. Because failure is part of life in both personal and career ways. Instead, make it internal. Know that you will try hard, know that you will fail and brush…

I'm 34 and I still look younger (like, a decade younger) and my facial hair are basically patches of short stubs, which look like shit. My advice: Own it. Once you lift and you nail your attitude and game, deflect anyone who dares to question your masculinity because of that. Keep feeling inadequate and people will know.

Exactly! The behavioral conditioning approach does wonders, because after all we're all animals. I actually do it to myself via rewarding me for completing a habit I want to integrate in my life, until I no longer do it for the reward but for the sake of the habit in itself. A cynic might say that I treat myself like I'm my own dog. No pun intended.

Eventually, you'll realize that women are who they are by nature, and you can't fault them for nature. You can't be mad at a fish for swimming. It's not that I don't agree with what you said, but you seem to suggest that nurture plays no role whatsoever in the female nature and that we should kick back and relax while they keep acting like ADHD irresponsible children chasing the cock carousel for as long as their looks and age allow it.

Other girls as in friends? Because they are friends with them and they want to be in good terms for any reason. Same thing with gay guys. However, this isn't the same kind of proof as the one they get when they're complimented by guys who obviously do it to get in their panties.

Let's say I minimized the moments of self-indulgence and applying my non-satiated instinctive urge to fuck girls I meet (day game ftw) led me to hold eye contact for periods of time I wouldn't even dare to imagine myself doing. And that's probably one of the many things that magically changed in my daily interactions with girls. I come across more... sexual, if that makes sense.

As an atheist I think that religion still serves that purpose. We will never reach a time in our history where the masses won't require the admiration and potential penance of the creator of the universe (the appeal to authority doesn't get bigger than that) in order to behave morally. In ideal scenarios maybe but those are just that - ideal. Far from being realistic and attainable. Like global peace.

But being biased does not mean you are wrong. It doesn't mean that you're right either, which is my point. Saying that your gut is there for a first lead means that it anchors you, and the greatest err one can make is to pretend that his cognitive skills are the exception of the rule. Reading Kahneman's "thinking, fast and slow" actually made me realize how dumb we are, even when we think we're choosing smart.

Make acquaintances with people you look up on them from your field or hobbies (gym or any sport). If they endure the trials of time and satisfy your criteria then congrats, you got yourself new friends. Otherwise, keep looking.

Women are serial monogamists. They love one man at a time. That man just changes. If she's into someone else, then she doesn't respect you. She can't hide that. She's going to start picking random fights, stop being interested in things about you that used to interest you, the sex will taper off or become terrible and she'll start making piles of excuses to get out of it. They constantly have TADD (Tingles ADD) and their love is similar to switching tasks to an ADD sufferer. That's why they thro…

Last night I argued with someone on asktrp on whether I should push more people to learn about programming. He went on a rant that I'm an idiot, there are no more programming jobs etc. I just dropped arguing with altogether, it doesn't matter. Instead, I turned my attention to the person seeking advice and told him to ask in a more appropri…

Funny that you worded like that, I had an argument with a fellow TRPer a few hours ago around whether I should help people get into programming or tell them to avoid it in order to keep the value of the degree high. And I ended up disengaging the discussion because I believe that line of thinking is against TRP.

So let me get this straight: You want to put a lid on the amount of people who pursue a STEM degree in order to keep the value of the degree high? By that logic, you should avoid helping people at all.

STEM degrees like computer science and programming (web, mobile development and soon embedded - they're not going anywhere). You can check out programming for free right now if you want. /r/learnpogramming. You can even combine your design touch with front end programming (HTML, CSS, JavaScript). The moment devs have "no sense of design" (can confirm) and designers have "no sense of programming", the guy who can grasp both wins.

I'm 33 and I still have no clue what to do. Actually, I do.

All you have to do is throw the words "assault" or "oppressed" into something and people freak out the way drivers lose their ability to control a vehicle in the rain. It's messed up.

For some reason, I just can't pinpoint the passion I can monetize. I have a shit ton of wants: Get a bike, escape to countryside, travel around Europe and more. But passion I can monetize? Nope. Career-wise I'm more directionless than the 4 year old that wants to become an astronaut. I have nothing that I want to become.

Well, he says that he's quitting engineering, and to quit something you have to do it first. Can't quit smoking if you don't smoke.

If you're into anime and you want to see a truly depressive show about a Hikikomori, watch "Welcome to NHK". It resembled at parts how my life was before I find and apply TRP. Most definitely not your generic anime bullshit with hot girls that betas can drool over their boobs because they're too disheartened to approach a woman irl. The guy who wrote the story was also a Hikikomori. But if you're depressed, avoid it like your life depends on it. It's really heavy and tackles themes like suicide.

By that logic, "Meditations" written by Marcus Aurelius hold no Stoic ground because he never called himself Stoic or philosopher, let alone applying them down to the letter.

Don't be too rushed to think that your "small talk skills" suck. Who's doing the talking matters. Maybe they're just attempting to make you feel insecure about yourself.

I look younger because I'm thin. I barely reached the acceptable lower bottom range for underweight a few months ago.

The problem is that when you're 13 and have some trouble socializing you play as an escape.

Oh fuck yes. Most of the songs I listen now are either instrumental or in some foreign language where I cannot tell what the lyrics say. But that's not all. Once I detached myself from music, I began seeing things less... emotionally. I began recognizing when a TV "news show" is appealing to emotions with propaganda. I can read actions instead of words. Music is just a piece of the fake construction that fell apart. That's how rare being a red piller is, when compared to the rest of the world.

Barter economy. They constantly try to rip each other off as both buyer and seller. Dodging taxes is the norm. Greek here. Can confirm.

I don't think that TRP believes that someone born in Chile, or in a bluepill family can magically get redpill on his own, or the son of Saddam Hussein can be the symbol of global peace, without the right external influences whatsoever. But the last 10%-5% that you can control makes a shit ton of difference.
