There’s basically three ways. 1) make bank and FIRE. 2) adopt an anti-capitalist or anti-modern lifestyle (become a communitarian farmer, become a monk, etc.) 3) Move to a third world country and earn money in Western currency (digital nomad lifestyle). If you literally have zero skills and not much hope for option 1, you should consider option 3. I know an ex-bus driver college dropout now making a killing teaching English in China.

You’re very young. Don’t sweat it kid. At your age the number 1 thing should be focusing on your education and your career. No such thing as an incel pulling 150+ k a year or top of whatever social hierarchy.

Religion can be super Red-Pilled in a godless, post-modern and degenerate world. He has his values and speaks his truths. You can and should develop your own. But as long as you live under his roof, you should respect his worldview even if you don’t agree with it. You sound like a spoiled teenage kid tbh. Move out if you hate him so much, otherwise stop complaining.

You can be Red Pilled and living on a farm with a trad wife and four kids, disconnected from neoliberalism. Or retired at 35 and living the FIRE life in Bangkok. Both are a lot more red pilled than the rat race. There’s a lot more to life than money. Only betas are stuck in the capitalist hamster wheel. But who am I to give you advice. The essence of Red Pilled is you finding your own way in life, and living up to your own dreams. Don’t take shit from others. Be the best person YOU can be.

Most white blonde basic bitches go for white guys. As a brown dude you need flair to attract white chicks. They love “Latin lover” types for ONS or on spring break. You need more wild, crazy photos. These are all too professional. You look like my father in some of these. Add a photo or two of you partying with the bros or doing something cool and you’ll get more hits.

I don’t think you understand what the alpha mindset is. Being alpha means doing whatever the fuck you want. If you like women sitting on your face, go ahead and do it. Nothing wrong with that. Sexual preferences have no correlation with being alpha or not. Most men are simps and they are also dominant in bed. The most beta thing in the world is letting other people tell you what you should enjoy in the bedroom. You do you bro.

Yes. Simps and betas are incredibly dangerous. Not physically, necessarily. But if they are smart, they will come after you in more clever ways. Nerds will try to ruin your career, etc. My advice is always keep records of everything. And don’t say or write anything that you will regret the next day. Get a lawyer if necessary. Some of the comments below suggesting you should fight them are retarded. Whatever you do, do not physically fight these people, unless in self defense and even then, read …

Transcendence and existential peace are required for individual fulfilment. They’re at the top of Mazlow’s Pyramid of Needs. 99 percent of Homo sapiens for 10,000 years used religion for that. You don’t have to, but many people do. Countless studies show that the happiest people are religious.

Virgin and six kids sounds like you’re in trad territory. If you’re serious about finding this woman, stop LARPing and put in serious effort. Identify a religious community, get involved, convert or revert. As with everything in life, this requires effort.

My advice is not to dox yourself on this subreddit. That is a terribly stupid thing to do. I’d strongly advise you to delete your post. TRP is suicide for most careers in our left wing society.

OF capitalises on late stage imperial decline, Western moral degeneracy, the collapse of the nuclear family, post-modern existential angst, and the death of cultural Christianity. All of these conditions lead to social atomisation and the loneliness of Modern Man.

The philosopher René Girard teaches that all desire is grounded in other peoples’ desires. We only want what others want. Most people choose their careers based on social influence. Whether it’s women, parents, friends, etc. It’s not beta to let this shape your decision, as you can’t entirely escape social influence unless you’re born independently wealthy.

The world is a terrible place, but there are good people in it. Sometimes the heroic man is the selfless man. Be a good person and give her the happiness she needs, in whatever way you can, without compromising yourself. Use this moment to contemplate mortality and existential questions. Reflect on religion. Go (back) to Church. Moments like this can be personally transformative.

You’re overthinking this. I’m about a decade older than you and I don’t have social media beyond Reddit. I call my close friends (4 dudes, at this point on 3 different continents) every few weeks.

I’ve had a similar dynamic with different chicks who I found intellectually brilliant but physically subpar. Mind you, it’s never gone on for two years. I’ve always broken up with them after a few months. Realistically, if you settled down with such a woman, you’d end up cheating on her with others whom you’re actually attracted to. So don’t waste her time or yours.

Not at all. Marx. Heidegger. Nietzsche. Strauss. Bloom. On the female front, folks like Hannah Arendt. True genius is rarely clean. None of my PhD friends really care too much about their looks. They’re too busy spending 10 hours in the lab everyday. They live the life of the mind, not the life of the material. Sometimes they even forget to wear socks. Chads are generally professionals, not intellectuals and scholars. Extremely rare to find a chad intellectual.

Go to a secluded monastery, or on a camping trip, or anywhere isolated where you can really think. Gaze at the stars and think to yourself: when I’m 90 years old and on my death bed, what do I want my legacy to be? What do I want to be remembered for? What will I regret not doing with my life? The answers that come to you from your inner depths will show the way.

Sounds like you want a LTR and a companion. This is normal and natural. Human beings evolved this way for tens of thousands of years. It’s only recently because of cultural decline that women have started acting the way they do. I recommend only dating traditional, conservative, Christian women. They exist, and they want the same thing you do.

Yes. Cultural degeneracy is getting worse and worse each year. It is intentionally designed by the elite, liberal, globalist class. The same class that destroyed cultural Christianity, ruined the nuclear family, pumped estrogen into water supplies to mess with peoples’ genders, and is using Covid to implode the middle class and centralise all capital in the hands of BigTech.

OP: Is she objectively hot? Do other men find her hot? If so, I don’t think the risk of her stalking you is too great. I had an ex with major personality disorders, not BPD but certainly depressed, terribly emotional, manipulative, etc. Certainly not a psychopath, but definitely turned out to have sociopathic qualities. Thing is, she moved on very quickly to some other poor soul once I cut her out and blocked her.

Delayed gratification is the number one quality of successful people. Too many “alphas” spend their 20s in the gym all day working shitty low value jobs. They’re betas in life. Better to grind early, then coast later. Chin up, and keep your eye on the prize brotha!

Sounds like a low value woman. This is the problem with hooking up with random gym bunnies. Fitness and attractiveness aren’t everything in life. Remember the Chinese adage: “to thy own self be true.” If you’re the type of guy who gets oneitis easily and develops feelings for any random (this is my impression of your description, could be wrong), then you have to learn to self select against low value women.

You can still live the Trad life, you just can’t go for Western / Anglo chicks. Western women treat religion like another element of their personality. For Eastern women it’s usually the core of their identity. East Europeans are great. Polish Catholics or Russian Orthodox. My ex was an Armenian Orthodox. She was super conservative, virgin, the real deal. I dumped her because she wasn’t that educated and even if you have a house wife, she has to be intelligent and good company. In the US, if you…

Sleep around with 8s or 9s. Marry and settle down with a smart 7 or 6, with an education and proper job. You don’t want a partner who’s hotter than you as a LTR. You do want an average girl who’s either wealthy or in some respectable line of work. In your case, opt for a nerdy, average-looking PhD with above average/ high value in other respects.

Banking is a huge industry. Lots of different types of jobs and career paths. iBanking, corporate, risk, etc. You need to feign interest to get a gig.

Yeah, but those 10 years of MD school are HARD work. If you haven’t been to school forever, you’re not going to be able to handle it. It’s incredibly tough, and requires a really high IQ.

That’s the wrong mindset, in my honest opinion. Delayed gratification is the number one quality of being an alpha in life. Why not go back to school now? Admissions standards are low bc of Covid. You can fix your body image when you’re making bank. But you only have so many years to make yourself financially secure. Do you want to be a poor old guy? Life is terrible for them.

Honestly man, if I were in your shoes, the last thing I’d think about is picking up girls. You have a son! He should be your life and priority 1.

I get oneitis quickly. It’s probably the result of a conservative and traditional upbringing. The trick for me is always to remember all the previous girls I’ve had oneitis for (now long gone, don’t know or care what they’re doing or where they are). That quickly erases oneitis for the current option(s). You realise that your mind has been through this before, and you learn to cancel the feelings before they emerge. Kinda like how depressed people know what triggers them and avoid those thoughts…

Thanks for your good note. I think there are advantages to being an ordained priest. Mainly, you are a visible sign of contradiction. When I was doing the process of being baptised and confirmed I cannot recall what the priest said in his lectures, but I recall his somber black cassock, and the stillness of his prayer. “Here was a man apart.” The institutionalised celibacy is part of that as well.
