| 19 | Lifting 101If you've only been doing it a month, you should stick to Stronglifts for now. What's your height/weight/bodyfat? Unless you're pretty overweight, you need to bulk and get those noob gains to keep motivated. Don't worry about stupid shit like turning into an "overweight Olympic lifter" or whatever you said. Honestly, dude, you've only been lifting a month. You don't just lift for a little while and--poof--turn into a powerlifter with a gut. You're putting the cart way before the horse there.

| 2 | Redpill traits desired. Anxiety + Gym questionsFormerly rail-skinny guy who got fucking jacked when he was younger here. A couple things... 1) I'm too skinny. 130 lbs 5 foot 7. How do you inspire yourself to attend the gym if you're the kind of person that's always tired (I do eat healthy) Get some pre-workout, like C4 or Megawatt or something. There will always be lifting snob purists who say you shouldn't need that shit but fuck them. I work a physically demanding job with long hours and without that shit there is no way my old ass could f… | /r/TheRedPill | 07/08/14 03:46 PM |
| 71 | Guy points out a woman's "funbags" to his mischievous nephew at a school function. Nephew completely throws him under the bus in a hilarious way. r/relationships proceeds to collectively shit the bed in outrage.Holy shit that's hilarious. That story made me so glad I wasn't that guy reading it. And funbags? My sides. There's no single boob euphemism that makes feminists go crazier than that one. The insinuation that tits are for male fun makes them go absolutely bonkers. | /r/TheRedPill | 05/06/14 03:14 AM |
| 1 | The importance of looks and high testosterone featuresGood luck. I tried beating my head against this brick wall here once, too, and it was pointless. The majority of posters here are utterly convinced that all you need is good game and "Confidence is key!" and like magic a 5'2" skinny guy can slay poontang with the same ease as a 6'2" beefcake. Those people think they've swallowed the pill, but they haven't. | /r/TheRedPill | 04/06/14 03:58 PM |
| 1 | Doing it for yourself, the pervasive hamsterWait, this can't be right. All the new redpill posters have been assuring me that all you need is confidence. Just kidding. Excellent post. | /r/TheRedPill | 22/04/14 05:54 AM |
| 1 | Confidence is NOT key and wishful thinking won't turn you into an alpha.Fuckin' exactly. There's a whole lot of people in this thread getting super-butthurt over the suggestion that they'd be better off improving their lives and having something to be confident about than strutting around acting confident for no goddamn reason. No-no, they don't need to improve their lives. They can be a loser and get just as much Grade A Poontang as any good-looking doctor because they have the Power of Confidence™. And when that Grade A Poontang loses attraction to the guy because… | /r/TheRedPill | 16/04/14 07:01 AM |
| 2 | Confidence is NOT key and wishful thinking won't turn you into an alpha.According to your logic, girls would have used any excuse to fuck them, because: instinct. I don't even know where in the hell you got that this was my logic. All I actually said was that women will usually take a good-looking beefy boring dude over a short and scrawny guy with good game. That in no way implies muscles will make women throw themselves at you. Fuck's sake. So, stop to consider you mightn't know everything, and it's worth a man working on all qualities because it's not an either /… | /r/TheRedPill | 16/04/14 06:43 AM |
| 1 | Confidence is NOT key and wishful thinking won't turn you into an alpha.Confidence is absolutely important. But all the confidence in the world isn't going to keep a woman's attraction to you from taking a hit when she finds out the only thing of value you have to offer is five dollar foot longs. | /r/TheRedPill | 16/04/14 05:30 AM |
| 1 | Confidence is NOT key and wishful thinking won't turn you into an alpha.Confidence is definitely important (funny, cause so many people in this thread keep acting like I said otherwise even though it's written right there in the OP) and you're right that you should totally work on improvements and confidence. But there are people all over the comments section here--really butthurt ones--who keep claiming you can be the biggest loser you want and still do just as good as the guy who has his shit together as long as you have the Power of Confidence™. And that's just n… | /r/TheRedPill | 16/04/14 05:24 AM |
| 5 | Confidence is NOT key and wishful thinking won't turn you into an alpha.Damn straight, homey. If you have the Power of Confidence™ it doesn't matter what you are. Only a dirty gold digger would lose attraction at finding out you're the sandwich artist of the month anyway, right, brah? Confidence is key. | /r/TheRedPill | 16/04/14 05:03 AM |
| 3 | Confidence is NOT key and wishful thinking won't turn you into an alpha.Maybe, if he's got good enough game. But sometimes a woman gets some insight about what a loser the guy really is and that pussy dries up like the Sahara. | /r/TheRedPill | 16/04/14 04:32 AM |
| 2 | Confidence is NOT key and wishful thinking won't turn you into an alpha.If you think confidence isn't important when dealing with women Hrm, that's odd, because it sure looks like I wrote "confidence is important" right up there in the third paragraph of the OP. It's almost like you didn't fucking read it and are just having some emotional knee-jerk response... | /r/TheRedPill | 16/04/14 04:19 AM |
| 1 | Confidence is NOT key and wishful thinking won't turn you into an alpha.People who say shit like "game doesn't work" or "confidence doesn't mean shit" simply don't understand what either of those things are. Except nowhere did I say anything even remotely resembling that and in fact said the opposite, that confidence and game will absolutely get you laid and are important and should be worked on. Maybe you should've bothered to read what I wrote before you commented. | /r/TheRedPill | 16/04/14 04:13 AM |
| 1 | Confidence is NOT key and wishful thinking won't turn you into an alpha.I don't understand. If the workout is hurting you, don't do the fucking workout. Have you ever had bicep tendonitis? I don't know about other people's cases of it, but there's hardly an exercise involving my arms that I can do without bothering it. I'd have to practically stop working my upper body altogether. Which I have several times in order to let this thing heal up. It always comes back eventually, though. I'm getting old. Shit doesn't heal like it used to. I'm not going to stop working ou… | /r/TheRedPill | 16/04/14 04:03 AM |
| 2 | Confidence is NOT key and wishful thinking won't turn you into an alpha.Yeah, and even if you're a low-value guy who's able to put on the confident airs of a high-value guy like a champ, at some point that woman is going to realize the dude has nothing to offer her besides words. Confidence can't get around Briffault's Law. | /r/TheRedPill | 16/04/14 03:58 AM |
| -1 | Confidence is NOT key and wishful thinking won't turn you into an alpha.I've found it to be the opposite. When I was skinny, women ignored me. You'd walk into a room or a store or whatever and get a sea of bitchface. When I got big, that changed. Women looked me in the eye. They actually listened when I talked. At my largest, which was several years ago, I would get these lust-filled looks from random women. Random smiles from them. They'd scramble to help me in stores and get flustered. I'm still big, but I'd love to have stayed that big forever. I just couldn't ha… | /r/TheRedPill | 16/04/14 03:55 AM |
| 2 | Confidence is NOT key and wishful thinking won't turn you into an alpha.I get it just fine. You're just fucking wrong. | /r/TheRedPill | 16/04/14 03:50 AM |
| 1 | Confidence is NOT key and wishful thinking won't turn you into an alpha.Easy there, buddy. Apparently what you said is a heretical statement around here now. Confidence is all we need. Or something. | /r/TheRedPill | 15/04/14 09:43 PM |
| 6 | Confidence is NOT key and wishful thinking won't turn you into an alpha.And confidence isn't key? Nope. It's important and it will absolutely get you laid, but you're better off (in the long run) actually improving yourself. A funny and charismatic 5'2" skinny guy will lose out to a tall good-looking boring dude almost every time. If you think that's not true, well, you're hamstering. Think about what you're even suggesting by arguing the opposite and how little sense it makes. Our sexual preferences are based on our ancient past and what we needed then. Think about… | /r/TheRedPill | 15/04/14 09:15 PM |
| 2 | Confidence is NOT key and wishful thinking won't turn you into an alpha.You're describing a paper/contextual alpha based off of your ideas of what makes a good man. No, dude, I'm really not (and I'm kind of mystified where you got that--there's nothing even remotely moralistic in what I wrote). Nevertheless, I'm fully aware that a violent, sociopathic asshole is also an alpha male as much as a confident rich dude could be. But I'm not going to suggest anyone become a violent psychopath, because, well, kind of hard to improve your life from prison, isn't? Instead I r… | /r/TheRedPill | 15/04/14 08:57 PM |
| -1 | Confidence is NOT key and wishful thinking won't turn you into an alpha.Eh, I'd take the moral of that story to mean that you can't always beat statistical probability. There's lots of shitty women out there that are better liars than some of us could ever hope to be. | /r/TheRedPill | 15/04/14 05:52 PM |
| 1 | Confidence is NOT key and wishful thinking won't turn you into an alpha.Yup. If you were born rich and look like Brad Pitt, congratulations, you can do pretty damn well with no game and a stutter. If you're one of us mere mortals, however, you're better off working around your handicaps and fixing what you can. You can't fix ugly, for example, but you can get massively jacked and suddenly your shitty face seems like a fair trade-off to a potential mate. | /r/TheRedPill | 15/04/14 05:40 PM |
| -2 | Confidence is NOT key and wishful thinking won't turn you into an alpha.I don't see how anything you wrote contradicts anything I said, other than the "confidence is key" claim. I never made the claim that confidence and game can't get you laid. That'd be insane. My claim was people like you would have a much easier time of it and get much better quality of women if the value is there to back up the confidence. | /r/TheRedPill | 15/04/14 05:37 PM |
| -4 | Confidence is NOT key and wishful thinking won't turn you into an alpha.Because if you're rich and successful but don't have game, only gold-diggers are going to be attracted to you. Being a good-looking nice-guy doctor is a recipe for dating disaster. I'd agree that you're going to get a higher-proportion of gold diggers if you have no game (and again I'm not advocating anyone not work on game), but I wouldn't say you won't get anything but them. Plenty of normal women would be content with a less-than-thrilling doctor. You're right that you're going to lose some, … | /r/TheRedPill | 15/04/14 05:33 PM |
| 7 | Confidence is NOT key and wishful thinking won't turn you into an alpha.Yup. Women are wired by evolution to want a high-status man that can physically protect her and has resources. One of the ways they detected those kind of males was through the way they acted, because those males tended to be confident and aggressive. It's not the confidence itself that was valuable to them. If you're not high-status, physically superior and don't have resources, but you act confident and aggressive, you're just "hacking" her biology to accept you the same way women "hack" ours … | /r/TheRedPill | 15/04/14 05:22 PM |
| -2 | Confidence is NOT key and wishful thinking won't turn you into an alpha.Yeah, if I had this to rewrite I would choose some high-status profession besides doctor because you're right about a lot of doctors being socially retarded for that reason. Just insert "airline pilot" or "lawyer" or something. Most of the lawyers I know are pretty silver-tongued. | /r/TheRedPill | 15/04/14 05:15 PM |
| 0 | Confidence is NOT key and wishful thinking won't turn you into an alpha.Pretty much. Gain the confidence of high-status and high-resource man by becoming a high-status and high-resource man. Otherwise, you're just acting like one--which works, but not as well as having the bona fides. | /r/TheRedPill | 15/04/14 05:12 PM |
| 1 | Confidence is NOT key and wishful thinking won't turn you into an alpha.OHP, bench press, side lateral raises, dips, etc. I could go on. OHP is by far the worst on it, though. | /r/TheRedPill | 15/04/14 05:09 PM |
| 60 | Confidence is NOT key and wishful thinking won't turn you into an alpha.Well... Erm... Hit the gym and get a job, hippie... | /r/TheRedPill | 15/04/14 05:06 PM |
| 15 | Confidence is NOT key and wishful thinking won't turn you into an alpha.That is very excellent way of putting it. | /r/TheRedPill | 15/04/14 04:58 PM |
| 2 | Confidence is NOT key and wishful thinking won't turn you into an alpha.Yeah, several times. I can usually get rid of it for a while and then eventually it comes back. I try not to be a hero about it too much for fear of screwing it up any worse, but gotta keep those gainz too. | /r/TheRedPill | 15/04/14 04:57 PM |
| -5 | Confidence is NOT key and wishful thinking won't turn you into an alpha.I wouldn't even say that confidence is key. The most important thing is social skills and being able to express yourself well. Just to be clear, I never advocated not working on confidence and game and I certainly am not suggesting someone should become a doctor and then not give a fuck about their personality. I said right there confidence and game are important. But I disagree that they're more important than your physical appearance and your station in life. Otherwise, you may be able to make… | /r/TheRedPill | 15/04/14 04:55 PM |
| -2 | Confidence is NOT key and wishful thinking won't turn you into an alpha.You contradict yourself, you say your gold in life shouldn't be bedding women I'm not saying that. If that's what you want, have at it. Truthfully, I don't want much more than that myself. I'm saying, in a nutshell, game and confidence alone are an inferior way of raising your SMV--to get whatever kind of relationship it is you're looking for. Raising your actual inherent value is the better way (in the long run), even if you just want to get laid. | /r/TheRedPill | 15/04/14 04:51 PM |
| -10 | Confidence is NOT key and wishful thinking won't turn you into an alpha.You are confused about SMV. I guess it depends on how you look at it. If you're talking about ability to talk a woman into coming home to your bed... Yeah, okay. Maybe. If you're talking more about alpha vs. beta, where a woman walks into a room and instantly tingles and recognizes you as an alpha from across the room, I think my interpretation is more apt. This is more of an ideal female mate, because even though I used the comparison, I wasn't recommending that everyone become boring doctors. … | /r/TheRedPill | 15/04/14 04:48 PM |
| 8 | Confidence is NOT key and wishful thinking won't turn you into an alpha.Ronnie Coleman put it best, "Everybody wants to be a bodybuilder, but don’t nobody want to lift no heavy-ass weights." That's it exactly. I'm doing this shit right now in between sets while I work out in my basement. I've got tendonitis in my right arm that I haven't been able to shake for years and it's killing me. Every time I lift this goddamn barbell over my head I want to fucking scream in frustration. It sucks. It fucking sucks. I would rather be doing literally anything than this right no… | /r/TheRedPill | 15/04/14 04:22 PM |
| -7 | Confidence is NOT key and wishful thinking won't turn you into an alpha.Being a high-value man without confidence and game will get a man cheating gold-diggers who walk all over him. Why would it? Being confident doesn't have anything to do with having enough sense to tell a gold-digger from a normal woman. And if you're high-SMV, women of all kinds are going to be attracted to you, not simply gold diggers. The distinction the OP makes between "game" and "Male SMV" is a false one. The two feed into and reinforce one another. Gaining confidence and improving one's ga… | /r/TheRedPill | 15/04/14 04:14 PM |
| 18 | The Red Pill for an unattractive/low SMV guy?Don't listen to anyone saying looks don't matter and confidence is key. That's feel-good PUA bullshit. Confidence helps and is necessary, but you're not getting anywhere with some women if you look like a beta (small and not physically intimidating). So that needs to be your first area of approach--the confidence will come later as you notice more women being attracted. You need to start eating religiously. I'm a formerly skinny guy when I was young and I know how hard it is to cram food (I stil… | /r/TheRedPill | 18/02/14 10:35 AM |
| 4 | I'm an obese red piller, 350 pounds.Ehhh... I'm going to go against the grain of the other commenters here and say that I don't think this guy's success has as much to do with his confidence as it does with the fact that being fat isn't necessarily a disqualifier for women the way it is for men. The main thing physically with women is to look big and intimidating. They're biologically wired to want a protector. Obviously, a six foot beefcake would be ideal, but a six foot fat guy is not generally someone to be trifled with. Thus w… | /r/TheRedPill | 21/01/14 07:12 AM |

| 8 | Rape victim from Askreddit discusses false rape claims and their affect on real victims.You know, this is going to sound a little dictatorial, but I seriously hope that if/when science advances to the point that we can literally read people's minds via technology that all accusers and the accused are forced by law in trials to submit to it. I sincerely believe, if that day ever came, that feminists would have a very large serving of crow to eat about how large the percentage of false rape accusations really is. | /r/TheRedPill | 17/01/14 09:03 AM |
| 1 | Reminder: Muscularity is sexyNot as many as you think, quite a few, but I could've had way more. But to be honest (and this going to sound like bragging) even then I'd had enough women over the years that I just don't get that motivated to bang them unless there's something really appealing about them. I just kind of see them as different wrappers on the same vagina now. But yeah, the attention was really the most enjoyable part. And having women actually show you respect, which they normally never do to strange guys. Being… | /r/TheRedPill | 11/01/14 03:39 PM |
| 3 | Reminder: Muscularity is sexyYeah, it's a disadvantage, but you should still work out. In fact, you should even more than a tall guy since you're starting from that handicap. If you get big enough to look like you can eat other guys for breakfast, you won't be lacking for women, 5'7" or not. The reason women go for tall guys is the same reason they're attracted to large muscular guys. It kicks in that lizard brain part of them from our evolution where they're sizing a guy up to see if he's strong enough to protect her from … | /r/TheRedPill | 10/01/14 12:20 PM |
| 29 | Reminder: Muscularity is sexyYup, this is 100% true. I have been both rail-thin and super-jacked at different points in my adulthood (and it took radically increasing my diet to do that). I got laid plenty when I was skinny (because I can be a charming asshole) but you know what didn't happen? Women coming up to me randomly with lust in their eyes wanting to squeeze my biceps just because I was walking around in a tank top. Right now I work out and maintain around 200 lbs. I'm older and I don't chase women much anymore and … | /r/TheRedPill | 10/01/14 06:36 AM |

All these people denying that being big and fit helps get women? The fuck? I swear I think I saw "be yourself" like twice. Goddamn. As someone who's been both rail-thin and super-jacked at different points in my adulthood, let me just say this. Yes, you can get laid as a skinny dude.

I'd still be skinny if I hadn't forcibly changed my diet. You have to eat more calories. Period. Every day. No matter how much you hate choking it down. And if you want to gain muscle working out while you're at it, you should eat 1 gram of protein for every pound you weigh per day as well.
