Hahaha you went all the way back to that one... still one of my best stories to date. It's not always easy to find the balance between humility and self-deprecation. Thanks for pointing it out.

You mean like the entirety of what this place is designed for? what the whole sidebar was built to address? The own your shit posts that allow guys for a constructive way of confronting past actions based on future goals? I don't think therapy and OYS are exclusive, quite the contrary. I'm a massive fan of OYS, I think it's one of the most effective tools in the RP toolbox. So I'm completely with you on that. My target was traditional "talking" therapy, such as psychoanalysis, which I now believ…

I think what I meant was: this is an area that is improving, though I'm not yet at the level I want to be. I certainly don't think the sidebar doesn't apply to me, as I'm a textbook unassertive NiceGuy, but I see your point. Thanks again for taking the time.

Interesting take, would you have any actionable advice to give to remedy that? I agree I'm not very fast... I will say though, that things have been picking up lately, and your comment definitely does make me want to push harder. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the feedback. I would never have gone with yoga or taichi: I was already planning on joining a rugby club in septembre, for exactly the reasons you outline. Thanks for the recommendations too: I've downloaded Deep Work as I feel it's the kind of stuff I need at the moment.

Why? Are you trying to get her back? Or, need her know something about the past? No, I've been doing this with every girl. I'm not trying to get her back at all. It's a "for old times' sake" kind of thing. ​ People fuck their co-workers all the time but the prevailing wisdom is that you don't get laid where you get paid.

No. But I ended up on MRP because I was letting myself get bullied by my ex GF. I had started to take viagra to cope. After a few weeks/months of OYS I decided to stop viagra, and a week or two later I broke up with her. Haven't used it since, but I still struggle with ED so the temptation is still there.

It's all in WISNIFG, but always good to have a reminder. Especially since I've been guilty of doing it a lot in regards to RP teachings, asking myself "what should I do according to the sidebar", which is still a way to operate in someone else's frame.

Obviously, you try to fuck her. I feel like you missed a golden opportunity to spit some game and try to escalate.

Got tested, all is normal (T on the lower side of the normal curve, but within the bounds). Saw the urologist, saw the andrologist. Both concluded it wasn't physical. Since I've had this issue i tried everything from NoFap to jerking off every day. Atm I don't watch porn, but I jerk off maybe 2-3 times a week.

I still haven't loaded more than 100kgs on squat even though I would have tried putting on more weight had I been at 90 or 95.

Do you associate sex with commited relationships? Worded another way, are you only comfortable fucking a girl that you're "in a relationship" To tell you the truth, I'm not comfortable with sex in general... It seems it's the area where all my fears/shitty self-image/shitty mental models come in full bloom. I've been struggling terribly with ED (and PE on occasions) for a few years now. Have seen many doctors and psychologists, took viagra, stopped viagra... Still a work in progress.

Another way to look at this is that you don't miss your ex. You miss what she represents. I.e. relationship, familiarity, pussy, cooking, whatever value she had to you. That's what you miss. Touché. She is an extremely beautiful woman who is as independent as her upbringing was rough. Since I was never considered handsome until recently, since I had the opposite of a rough upbringing, being with her meant that I was "at her level" (whatever that means). Being with her meant I wasn't like other g…

Thanks for taking the time to read and reply man, your comments really help. I recommend doing some writing around sex. Similar to the list you made for frame.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I'm certainly not ashamed of my father, but of myself. You're absolutely right: I've been squandering opportunities everywhere. Have any tips on how to design a map? I've made so many these last few years, I hardly believe in them anymore at this point.

Thanks for taking the time to read and reply. I worded it wrong: I know full well that pressuring myself to get an erection is couter-productive. What I meant to say was: I now have an incentive to put all my resources into solving this problem. I'm a fucking retard: I've started seeking professional help only a year ago (the problem is 4 years old), and even then, I've been too passive about it. Now I don't have a choice but become proactive as fuck, as I should have been from day fucking 1. I'…

OYS 7 26 yo, 185 cm, 71 kgs, LTR 1 year Lifts : Stronglifts 5x5 : SQ55kgs, OHP32.5, DL45, BP45, BR45 Lifting I saw the physio, he seems much more competent than the last one. He did some osteopathic stuff on me. Seems to work: I’ve hardly felt the sternum inflammation this week. Have to admit I’m not enjoying the StrongLifts program. The long resting times prevent me from sweating and feeling like I’m working hard. I’m thinking of cutting down the resting times, even if it means deloading some w…

Thanks for taking the time to read and answer. you are outcome dependent (on others) because you do not value yourself enough I guess I know that. At the moment, I'm reading WISNIFG and it's really resonating with me. The idea that I am really my one and only judge is quite something (when I manage to actually realize it).

Got started on Stronglifts 5x5 which was my first ever program and which I’d loved. I realized that first time around (3 years ago) I had been doing it all wrong (resting too little and not adding weight regularly enough), so looking forward to it even more. However, I started feeling my old chest tendonitis flare …

Wait a minute, what do you guys call a "girlfriend" ? These are good tips for plating, but not so good for finding an LTR, i.e. a meaningful relationship. If you act like a robot, follow an instructions manual, act a certain way to get a certain thing instead of being cool and honest, you'll have a real hard time connecting with the person, and the relationship will end up feeling really shallow. I believe it's important to keep that in mind. Thanks for the post.

Agree 100% though. Push yourself to the limit, and beyond. But if you experience pain (aka not the same as pushing hard), you should take a moment to examine what's happening. I ignored pain thinking I shouldn't be a pussy, and ended up injured. Could've been avoided easily by knowing the difference between pain and laziness. Would be happy to read your post if you wrote one.

Great fucking post. We need more of those. I didn't know the acronym "LARP" but it's perfect. It's really important for all of us on this sub to always remember that the goal is happiness and self-fulfilment, not being some phantasmagorical AlphaChad. Sure, it isn't useless to learn how to display value, but the main teaching of TRP is to actually be a man of value. And a man of value, of course, isn't a LARP. Thanks a-fucking-gain. Looking forward to more content from you.

I was wondering, has anyone actually managed to get their T levels up naturally ? I got checked recently and turns out I'm on the low side of the spectrum.

Actually now you've said it i agree in a way; but a year ago when I wrote this, these types of posts were coming in daily, it seemed normal at the time. It was perceived as a way to give back to the community. Also it's still one of my best stories to date because the target as well as the close are unusual. I could write aboute how I sleep with girls my age, but there's nothing special to recount: just being cool, good looking and having frame is enough (the usual TRP stuff really...).

To be fair, in hindsight, I might have overstated the "former HB9" (even though "former" should indicate enough that she's not HB9).

Although it is true that self-respect sometimes looks like selfishness, they aren't the same thing. We are all selfish - we can't really be otherwise - but not everyone has self-respect. When we acted like NiceGuys, it certainly wasn't out of altruism : we wanted to feel good about ourselves and find our own special unicorn. I would rather say that a man who values himself is one who is able to set his own values and boundaries. It isn't about getting or not getting flowers : it's about knowing …

Incredible post, you have a rare talent for writing, and a refreshing point of view on TRP and how it relates to life. The end of the post, about death of the soul, is crucial. There is such a thing as spiritual health: physical health isn’t the only aspect of a man’s health. When TRP talks about “your mission”, “your drive”, “your life”, all of this pertains to meaning and direction - i.e. spiritual health. It’s just a shame that people associate spirituality with religion and superstition. Spi…

100% agree. These are the two things that got my overthinking and anxiety levels down. Seriously, if you suffer from overthinking, MEDITATE. EVERY. DAY. Just ten minutes, in the morning after having brushed your teeth. Use apps like Headspace if you need to (it helped me get going so I would recommend you try). The results take time to come, and you don’t notice them because you get used to being more involved in the present, and you forget what it was like before. But believe me, it’s worth it.

I think this is a good, maybe even a great post, because it hints at something very profound. The lesson isn’t « conceal your true opinion », but rather, « always try to have nuanced opinions ». If you have unilateral opinions that follow binary oppositions, not only are you at risk of unnecessarily polarizing people, but it is also highly likely that you are misrepresenting to yourself the world around you. And that, is dangerous: it’s following a flawed map to navigate. Eventually you’ll run i…

I had been thinking of writing a similar post, I couldn’t agree more. TRP isn’t PUA: it’s not just about displaying value, it’s about becoming valuable - which means bettering yourself. Vengefulness, cynicism, anger... aren’t signs of power, but rather of weakness: they are the result of not being able to accept the world as it is, or to shape it into what one wants. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t focus on displaying value (game), don’t get me wrong: TRP IS a « sexual strategy » sub after all. …

Great post, shame it's getting downvoted by all the guys stuck in the anger phase. Friendship with women is not the same (AT ALL) as friendship with men - but it IS friendship nonetheless. I'd say the main advantages are : It massively helps getting women off the pedestal, and thus becoming an accomplished man instead of a beast fascinated by women. As another comment rightly points out, it helps develop other communication types (and why wouldn't you want to develop your skills?) Social circle …

That's fine if you don't care about starting a family. But if you want to pass down your genes (as most people do), as well as ensure that your kids grow up in the best possible environment, you're gonna need to commit to their mother. But you must choose her very wisely, not fall in love with the first woman who gives you attention.

Hey young man, it seems you have stumbled into a place you aren’t ready for. Do not take this the wrong way: you are still a kid. I know these are annoying words.
