| 1 | Balancing the Captain/First Mate dynamic in an LTRGood point, I didn’t think about that. As you said, I would want my First Mate to always succeed, but failure might do good too. Thanks again. | /r/askTRP | 07/05/20 06:13 PM |
| 2 | Balancing the Captain/First Mate dynamic in an LTRConsider yourself lucky bro. Yeah, I’ve thought about that possibility. Not ideal, as you said, but c’est la vie. | /r/askTRP | 07/05/20 06:11 PM |
| 1 | Balancing the Captain/First Mate dynamic in an LTRYou’re right, I’ll try to mix it up. Thanks man. | /r/askTRP | 07/05/20 05:20 PM |
| 1 | Balancing the Captain/First Mate dynamic in an LTRI see where you’re coming from bro, but it’s a lot more complicated than me being a pussy. I live >500 km’s away from my LTR on an island part of the British territories that has closed it’s borders completely and transport links are limited. Sounds like an LDR, I know, but I met my LTR at university where we both spend >75% of the year so that explains why our “homes” are so far apart. That was my thinking, but I just wanted to make sure. Thank you for your perspective, I appreciate it. | /r/askTRP | 07/05/20 05:16 PM |
| 1 | Balancing the Captain/First Mate dynamic in an LTRYou’re right. Thanks bro, good luck to you too with your goals. | /r/askTRP | 07/05/20 04:25 PM |
| 2 | Balancing the Captain/First Mate dynamic in an LTRI hear you man. Yeah, agreed. I’ve been looking to adhere to that 80/20 alpha/beta ratio which is the aim in an LTR, but have admittedly slipped to 60/40 at times. Nevertheless, I’ve tried to maintain frame throughout, made sure I am not too available, tried to employ some passive dread and withdrawn attention when necessary. Thanks for your advice, brother, it’s much appreciated. | /r/askTRP | 07/05/20 04:09 PM |
| 8 | How to deal with a girl that wants to fuck, but she’s friends with my ex?Not your problem. Fuck the friend if you want to, don’t fuck her if you don’t. It’s simple bro. | /r/askTRP | 06/05/20 06:52 PM |
| 1 | FWBs - do you have any criteria for when u take them out ?Reward them if they make you sufficiently happy. I wouldn’t reward them just for the sex, something that takes very little effort on their part. Taking them out every so often to keep the flame going is different to rewarding good behaviour. | /r/askTRP | 06/05/20 05:29 PM |
| 15 | How do you deal with a girl who's constantly on their phone during the first date?Make a sarcastic joke like “are you always this attentive?”. If she continues to disrespect you by going on her phone then leave. | /r/askTRP | 06/05/20 05:25 PM |
| 2 | You have to be funny with girls. It is the all accepted advice for dating. How a TRP man can be "funny"? He is a real man after all, his is not her entertainer. It is somewhat challenging to manage this issue.Agreed. The only example that comes to mind about self-depreciating humour with guys is when someone made a joke about how shit I am at football (soccer to you guys across the pond). I laughed along and said "Yeah man, I can't even pass the ball in a straight line" which was obviously sarcasm and hyperbole (A&A). | /r/askTRP | 06/05/20 02:09 PM |
| 1 | How to deal with shit test a girl puts up telling you overthink?Adding on to what u/fatihcoskuny said, I know it's hard to adhere to the texting is for logistics only in lockdown but try not to text too much. I read somewhere on here some good advice that you'd rather make too little contact than too much; contact her less than you do now and her hamster wheel will be spinning, if there is enough interest. | /r/askTRP | 06/05/20 02:04 PM |
| 4 | Girls flip floppingSpot on. | /r/askTRP | 06/05/20 01:59 PM |
| 1 | Text GameGaming women through social media is possible, I'm not going to act like it isn't, but it is very hard. I would say it's not worth it. If you still want to go ahead, try to build rapport at the start through teasing or joking. Evoke emotions. Adhere to the 3:2 golden ratio and don't verbal diarrhoea text. End game for texting should be to arrange meeting them, a date or whatever. That's practically impossible during quarantine, depending on where you are, so I would say avoid trying to execute t… | /r/askTRP | 06/05/20 12:25 PM |
| 2 | What should a man do if he is sensing IODs from a girl that he is serious with?Desire cannot be negotiated. She might well lose interest, irrespective of your efforts. If you're asking what you can do to "maintain" interest, you can withdraw your attention and adhere to the push-pull dynamic. You could employ one of the 12 steps of dread. You can employ all these strategies, but your primary focus should be yourself. Remember: your mission comes before your woman. | /r/askTRP | 06/05/20 12:22 PM |
| 1 | Great LTR, but I want to play the field. Should I break up?Yup. Adding on to what u/hoopingblob said, stay in that relationship for as long as you are happy. Remember that woman love conditionally. If it were the other way round, what do you think she would do? Furthermore, to fortify an abundance mentality you should aim to have options irrespective of having an LTR. Game other girls but be careful. | /r/askTRP | 06/05/20 12:18 PM |
| 2 | Can you acquire the feeling that “you’re enough” even if you haven’t achieve high value yet?Adding onto what brother u/breakdatass said, try to change the thoughts in your head from "You're not ripped and shredded yet" to "I am going to be ripped and shredded". Change those negative, insecure thoughts to positive, affirming thoughts. Look up positive self-talk and try it out. If you're capable of having these negative thoughts then you are capable of having positive thoughts, and which one would you rather bro? | /r/askTRP | 06/05/20 12:15 PM |
| 2 | Expressing interest as a person who isnt very touchyDon't express your interest by vomiting your feelings. Express your feelings by giving them your attention/time, showing your intentions by flirting/teasing them and escalating the conversation. There is no prescribed ratio for physical:verbal when expressing interest, but I'd say that they should know that you're interested from the way you speak to them. The physical side of it comes in the form of kino followed by escalation to sex when you're with them, on a date or whatever. | /r/askTRP | 06/05/20 12:09 PM |
| 11 | A girl sent a snap of another guy. Did I react correctlyYou ignoring it was the right move. Now, stop messaging her and let her reach out to you. Also, stop keeping Snapchat streaks. | /r/askTRP | 06/05/20 12:00 PM |
| 3 | Can't meet face to face with LTR due to Covid-16.Ask yourself how long you want to talk for and do that. There's no TRP-endorsed or alpha-specific amount of time that you should talk for. If you don't want to talk for 1-2 hours then don't. In my LTR, I keep myself busy throughout the day but usually end up calling her after dinner in the evening. We tend to talk for an hour, sometimes even two hours dependent on how the conversation goes. If I'm tired, busy or just cba then I don't call her. Sometimes she calls me during the day to ask for hel… | /r/askTRP | 06/05/20 11:53 AM |
| 2 | You have to be funny with girls. It is the all accepted advice for dating. How a TRP man can be "funny"? He is a real man after all, his is not her entertainer. It is somewhat challenging to manage this issue.I guess so, but there are so many other ways of showing that you don’t give a fuck without self-depreciating. I think there’s a fine line with self-depreciation so I’d advise avoiding it. | /r/askTRP | 06/05/20 11:07 AM |
| 1 | LTR "sexually frustrated" - Comfort test?Comfort test, yeah, so give her something to work with. Also, keep doing what you’re doing and staying busy. | /r/askTRP | 06/05/20 09:13 AM |
| 21 | You have to be funny with girls. It is the all accepted advice for dating. How a TRP man can be "funny"? He is a real man after all, his is not her entertainer. It is somewhat challenging to manage this issue.You don’t have to be a clown or an “entertainer” to be funny. You can be humorous or witty or have good banter. I, for one, am quite sarcastic and that’s my humour. More specifically, I tend to A&A a lot. With sarcasm, though, never ever ever self-depreciate. | /r/askTRP | 06/05/20 09:07 AM |
| 6 | Was this too petty?Soft next. Don’t ask her again for nudes | /r/askTRP | 06/05/20 09:04 AM |
| 1 | How to proceedShe has very low interest bro, high interest girls don’t make it that hard for you. I wouldn’t bother | /r/askTRP | 05/05/20 10:08 PM |
| 1 | How to proceedShe’s given you nothing to work with man, onto the next one | /r/askTRP | 05/05/20 09:35 PM |
| 4 | How to proceedGive up, that’s such a dry ass response | /r/askTRP | 05/05/20 09:33 PM |
| 1 | read message or leave it unread - when soft/hardnextLeave it there without giving her the comfort of knowing that you’ve read it or not, it’ll play on her mind more. After you’ve left it there, stop thinking about it and get on with your tasks until she comes running back again (if it’s a soft next). | /r/askTRP | 23/05/19 12:32 PM |
