2	The ego epidemic: How more and more of us women have an inflated sense of our own fabulousness (2009) Ego is like an auto-defense turret that knows somewhere inside of itself that it contains no live ammo.	/r/TheRedPill	15/07/19 11:56 PM
14	Agree and amplify is dead in 2019, Ironic Acknowledgement is for Millennial Girls I agree especially in the sense that these "ironic" or "sarcastic" replies OP lists out are generally a lot less witty than a typical A&A. It's like they've been made idiot-proof so even the most dense audience will understand. I've had girls use this exact style of communication on me before and it's always annoyed me for how it just allows them to blandly reply to anything that's been said under the guise that it was funny.	/r/TheRedPill	14/05/19 08:58 PM
1	Scientific evidence showing gender fluidity is mental illness What a weird timeline we live in.	/r/TheRedPill	11/05/19 08:30 PM
6	They only want your money and offer little to nothing in return Unfortunately, any time there is a "problem" there will be somebody there to position a "solution." When that solution gets really absolutist, like "5 RED PILL THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW RIGHT NOW," it usually has little to offer in return. I've always held a belief that MOST life coach/trainers/PUA/etc just know the 'problem' so well because they once suffered from it. Often, people who struggled the most are the ones able to best speak the language of somebody in their position. Therefore, they g…	/r/TheRedPill	08/05/19 10:42 PM
5	The Approved Narrative: Why Dissent Must Be Crushed Holy shit, no lie. I opened up Hulu one day recently to find a large woman in a bathing suit as a thumbnail for a new show about - "A woman who is struggling with a new job and a series of bad boyfriends." Oh, brother. "Give the people what they want," I guess. Too bad I can't hide their BS suggestions.	/r/TheRedPill	26/04/19 06:05 PM
3	It's a numbers game Anybody who has been in any type of sales organization should understand, nobody has a closing rate of 100%. And in fact, business owners who self-report that they have a closing rate of even 70-80% are usually misrepresenting themselves or outright lying about the situation. No matter how great the product, service, or commodity, not everything sells to 100% of the people who receive its marketing. I feel like the sales metaphor helps here, because it takes the petty emotional ego games out of …	/r/TheRedPill	11/04/19 04:52 AM
1	What should you REALLY do after getting a phone number That's where I'd like to get to eventually. Newly 27, and learning a lot very quickly. Do you have anything you'd recommend? I'm not scared off by things that take time to develop, just want to lay the right groundwork. And thanks for being willing to converse and share some ideas. That's not always the case on the main TRP sub.	/r/askTRP	19/03/19 09:27 PM
1	What should you REALLY do after getting a phone number It does seem like it is innately part of who we are as men. There might be a fixed limit on how low you can get it without being totally asexual. But yes, we all have our bad days where we fire a text off to some girl we probably shouldn’t have (or some equivalent). I’ve wanted to slowly evolve into the archetypal Don Juan who’s cooling stoicism manages to pique the interest of the right woman without him having to do anything himself. But I feel like it’s an incorrect assumption that I would ne…	/r/askTRP	19/03/19 06:34 PM
1	What should you REALLY do after getting a phone number Number 2 and Number 3 are particularly on point. I could really work on #2 especially. I admit that I kind of bungled my way through this, but I have been checked out of the game for awhile. Mainly why I wanted the Red Pill post-Mortem on this one. The change I’ve ran into lately is that I don’t really find myself caring about dates/lays/etc, but there is a small part of my brain that is still periodically longing for some female validation. I think that I really need to master and conclude that…	/r/askTRP	19/03/19 05:04 PM
1	What should you REALLY do after getting a phone number You’re probably right. I wouldn’t have worried about responding either if I were out...I figured she would get to it the next morning if there was any interest. Anyhow.	/r/askTRP	19/03/19 06:03 AM
1	What should you REALLY do after getting a phone number You don’t see the business card as a disadvantage? I’m not explicitly disagreeing - I just have heard it seems kind of cheesy. I have a few career ventures and one is a Realtor so I always have a card for that...but then they’d be able to dig me up on Facebook or Zillow and see how much (or how little) I sell and form opinions of me ahead of time. I like the napkin idea because it is actually quite unique and gives you an easy way to get out of there. Never really been one for club game..so yeah…	/r/askTRP	19/03/19 06:02 AM
1	What should you REALLY do after getting a phone number I agree about the forcing you to text them first. It puts you at a disadvantage. How do you go about giving them yours? Do you tell them to whip their phone out and you put it in? If it weren’t so cheeky I wish I could just drop a business card..lol. Makes it easy to just handle it all in one maneuver and nonchalantly stride out of there. I guess I should have stuck around for the close, but it really just didn’t feel right that night. I’m in pseudo monk mode right now and I’m not trying for a c…	/r/askTRP	19/03/19 05:35 AM
2	What should you REALLY do after getting a phone number Spot on. This is my thought too, but I’m glad to know I’m in alignment with TRP’s perspective. Double-texting is 99.9% a mistake	/r/askTRP	19/03/19 05:32 AM
3	"On Tinder the top 20% of men are competing for the top 78% of women" Wow thank you. And I'm glad you found some value in all the information — I had a long history with Tinder and all of the swiping apps, so I like being able to share my experience and have it benefit anyone else in some way. That's kind of the thing though; Tinder didn't start off like that. But you are absolutely right to compare it to a mobile game, many of the same psychological tricks are indeed part of the experience. In marketing-speak we call it "gamification" which is kind of a goofy wor…	/r/TheRedPill	18/03/19 04:16 PM
88	"On Tinder the top 20% of men are competing for the top 78% of women" No "Pay to Win" — but you can get these in-app credits called "Super Likes" that basically bonk a girl over the head with an alert that you like her, so she can skip swiping through the stack of schmoes and decide whether she'll raise the gate for you or not. You get 1 per day..but Tinder definitely incentives you to spend $4.99 at a time to get 5 a pop. It can add up real quick. You'll get suckered in, thinking, "Oh I really want to match with this girl, and she'll never see me because the pool…	/r/TheRedPill	18/03/19 05:45 AM
7	Be a shitty alpha Sure has. I see more and more arrogant blimps trudging around town because their queue of 100 matches leads them to believe they're an 8 who's a 9 on a good day.	/r/TheRedPill	26/02/19 05:51 AM
15	Women will prove AWALT out of nowhere. It's a huge catharsis to read your remarks on that — when I was more prolific on Tinder/Bumble/etc I couldn't get over how many women led in with their "BURNING" desire for travel, and why it always seemed to come with a twinge of arrogance. When I was younger, I always thought that I was just insecure because I wasn't traveling as much as they did...and therefore I was the one who was "less interesting." The last few years have really lifted the veil.	/r/TheRedPill	12/02/19 07:03 PM
10	Dalrock: Grill envy \| "No matter how hard they try, they can’t do something simple, something effortless for men. They can’t grill with the aim of caring for others. If they can’t have what men have, then they have to tear it all down." What the hell is wrong with these guys? I mean, how are you that resentful of your own nature and intuition? I want to be mad at him, but it's just pitiable how deeply nested the thought contagion of feminism is in his head. Probably will do a follow-up post about his "penis guilt" at the rate he's going. How do you even cure something like that? Is he going to pop one day like a firecracker?	/r/TheRedPill	30/01/19 06:08 AM
1	A Reminder of Reddit’s Definition of “positive” male content Couldn't agree more. The Internet gave a voice to the voiceless, which has led to both extraordinarily positive and extraordinarily negative outcomes. It's important to not take every opportunity to strike down complete nonsense just because you feel a call to do so. It's all just noise anyway. I think that the stoic way of looking at the world is in total alignment with that, too.	/r/TheRedPill	28/01/19 05:50 AM
1	A Reminder of Reddit’s Definition of “positive” male content You make a good point. Admittedly, I suppose I shared it in a bit of anger - as if I couldn’t merely laugh at it on my own and move on. I can see where passing that along to the community doesn’t really do much good for anyone.	/r/TheRedPill	28/01/19 04:40 AM
2	Self-Confidence Must Be Verified This is very true, and it happens iteratively. I'm going through my 2nd year in real estate right now, and my confidence is substantially higher than it was last year...because even though I "believed" I was a great agent and doing a top-notch job for my clients, I didn't really get to "see" it happen. Your brain will definitely look for the positive affirmation that it has the correct core belief. I suppose you can definitely "force of will" yourself into believing an axiom and it becomes true …	/r/TheRedPill	24/01/19 12:03 AM
4	A Reminder of Reddit’s Definition of “positive” male content Wow, great research...that’s alarming. But oddly not that surprising. I wonder how well it would shake out if a male-ran blog began coaching women on how to be more “enlightened.”	/r/TheRedPill	21/01/19 11:11 PM
5	A Reminder of Reddit’s Definition of “positive” male content "people that don't have the intellectual capacity or fortitude to even understand what they have done" Ah..well the post may not have really offered much NEW to learn, but your statement there is a big reminder that I needed. I've had to routinely remind myself "not to cast pearls before swine" for the last year, and sometimes the impulse just kicks in. Feminism aside, logic and articulate argumentation does not always prevail. Sometimes people just like the way the story sounds. It doesn't matt…	/r/TheRedPill	21/01/19 06:48 PM
65	A Reminder of Reddit’s Definition of “positive” male content I know right...it’s actually fascinating how thin the “logic” goes on these kinds of pieces. The author basically just outlines how he bent over and did whatever she wanted, didn’t have a problem with it, and thinks that any man who WOULD has a “small penis.” Wow. Good men project! Good dog, have a treat.	/r/TheRedPill	21/01/19 08:51 AM
2	Gender War We can always count on Dave.	/r/TheRedPill	21/01/19 04:58 AM
16	The Paradox of Choice and Online Dating (AKA What Killed the Sexual Marketplace; recommended for beginners) I love that you're all in agreement on this, as I've operated under this notion for awhile now. Even as I've been rejected in-person (for one reason or another), women still seem to treat you a little differently merely on the basis that you're live and in front of them. Not to mention that a heavy reliance on swiping apps for a few years sorely suppressed the development of my in-person game. I'm coming up on a year (in February) of being off of the app game.	/r/TheRedPill	20/01/19 05:30 AM
14	Get off the video games and pot Completely agree with this, as an ex-stoner myself. I don't smoke any more due to anxiety-related reasons — I find that it messes with my reality a bit too much. But I have known chronic tokers who are unbelievably high-functioning. I lived with a guy in college who hit the 97th percentile on the MCAT despite being baked out of his mind most evenings. Cannabis is just like anything else, it's a tool. Some people can skillfully wield a hammer to build tremendous buildings, while other buffoons ju…	/r/TheRedPill	18/01/19 06:15 AM
4	Escaping The Pleasure Palace Way to summarize it all to a T, we've come to expect nothing less. This was the most impactful to me: "A lot of possibilities become available when you don't spend hours smiling at a fluorescent screen." Even after optimizing a lot of my daily routine, I still have about 1.5 - 2 hours a day it seems that get spent just mindlessly surfing around the Internet or on YouTube. It needs to go.	/r/TheRedPill	15/01/19 04:18 PM
3	There's absolutely no reason to be afraid of cold approach Each time I feel afraid or anxious to go make an approach is a prime time to rewire that instinct by doing it anyway.	/r/TheRedPill	30/12/18 06:50 PM
7	Hitting the Coveted Top 20 - No, You Don't Need to Be the Next Boy Band Sensation Look man, women aren’t attracted to men 100% the same way that we’re attracted to them. Physical appearance plays a PART, but not the whole. The main difference is that women date up and across dominance hierarchies. Have you familiarized yourself with how hypergamy works? Women select primarily based on status and dominance. Appearance absolutely is involved, but this explains why you can see guys with faces only a mother can love paired up with a HB7+. There are more factors, but you have to l…	/r/TheRedPill	01/12/18 06:51 PM
35	The Bittersweet Life Of Famous Instagram Model Amanda Lee - RooshV: "She is a slave to digital responses in a virtual reality that is accessed through her smartphone. She is an addict to loveless attention that keeps her in a prison of materially comfortable insecurity." Even outside the fundamental RP principles here, it's a platinum-tier reminder of why you shouldn't be comparing your life to anybody else's inside of a social network.	/r/TheRedPill	26/11/18 10:12 PM
8	The Death of "Online Game!" The End of social media There’s tons of ways that you can improve your online game, but the main issue is that the bay is full of boats with their anchors dropped and their fishing lines out. There ARE plenty of fish in the sea, but you wouldn’t want to catch and cook each one of them. Beyond that, the fish that are worthwhile only want the most premium bait, and even the low quality fish have ample hooks dangling in front of them. It’s tough to get the impression of how saturated it really is, because everything co…	/r/TheRedPill	23/11/18 08:20 PM
6	The Death of "Online Game!" The End of social media I agree completely with you, and technically, TRP is about optimizing oneself as a male in a culture that continually tries to snuff out our attempts. But too often it seems like that just comes back to sex, which (while fun), isn't really that high of an aim to shoot for. Seeking to know oneself better and live a fuller life seems like a more worthwhile pursuit — sex can definitely be a byproduct of that, but to always have it in the superposition doesn't serve any greater goal than just fleeti…	/r/TheRedPill	23/11/18 05:34 AM
3	The Hypergamy Illusion Good point on that too. Commitment from a man is way more invaluable to women than the opposite. There are some advantages for commitment from women, but it isn't something that men rearrange their lives for and have a clock ticking on. "Until lightning hits." Oh yes — but I suppose there are some who may go their whole lives without ever making sense of the thunderstorm.	/r/TheRedPill	22/11/18 06:10 AM
37	The Hypergamy Illusion Your analogy is funny because it's so accurate — our attraction to women is pretty mono-dimensional in comparison to theirs. It starts (and maybe ends) with appearances, so simps can get confused when women aren't playing the market based on the same figures. "Why him? He's so ugly!" They haven't come to realize that women evaluate men similar to how a prestigious college screens its applicants.	/r/TheRedPill	22/11/18 12:51 AM
7	Stop getting on the Hub That's great. I stayed away from it until I was almost 21, and only watched it because I felt like I was the weird one for not partaking. One of my worst "follower" moments. It's like my spirit was trying to guide me away from it the whole time, but I ultimately decided to dive in anyway.	/r/TheRedPill	20/11/18 05:59 AM
3	Hard Nexted my LTR of 2 Years for Lying About About Spending Time With Beta Orbiter Are you saying that she apparently said that to the "old dude" in this mix? If so, you'd be well-advised to ditch her. The ...'s of your comment indicate to me that you're trying to talk yourself into giving her some sort of a "benefit of the doubt," but you've already seen the writing on the wall. Get to a point where you love yourself more than anybody, and the love that you can give to a woman is just spillover from that. That way, you'll never be at a deficit when you need to remove them fro…	/r/TheRedPill	19/11/18 05:02 AM
3	Hard Nexted my LTR of 2 Years for Lying About About Spending Time With Beta Orbiter Jeez, that's some deep rationalization. "I have to see him or he'll kill himself!" So that guy just gets to be an attention parasite for the duration of your (would be) marriage? Even if that were 100% true, how pathetic for that guy that he needs visitation rights from his ex just to keep him tethered to this stupid rock. Guy needs to get some purpose for himself. Good on you for not budging, stick to that. She'll probably pull out her full arsenal of manipulations, tricks, and waterworks if th…	/r/TheRedPill	19/11/18 02:03 AM
2	Hard Nexted my LTR of 2 Years for Lying About About Spending Time With Beta Orbiter You couldn't be more correct about the denying reality part. It's especially infuriating if you're a man who sees the value in having things well out in the open, and values that in the people that you spend your time around. What good is it if you can't have a real conversation about what's going on, because one side refuses to acknowledge key details that might compromise their ego?	/r/TheRedPill	19/11/18 02:00 AM
3	From Alpha to Omega I agree with you. I'm not trying to give OP a reason to pardon himself; I'm placing extra emphasis on the fact that he was inebriated. And yes, I agree — alcohol just exposes what's lurking under the surface already. That's why people who are "angry drunks" are people who are suppressing great amounts of anger...the drunkenness just takes their foot off of the brakes. While one learns new behaviors and develops their personality, it's probably best to avoid any substance abuse like this.	/r/TheRedPill	14/11/18 11:56 PM
4	From Alpha to Omega I wouldn't put too much of this on yourself and your core personality characteristics — you were drunk. That's not an excuse, it's just a reminder of what kind of impairment alcohol really means. Everybody likes to think that they remain 100% in control when drinking, but it has a MAJOR influence on your behavior and brain activity. I'd chalk it more up to the alcohol being your interference factor.	/r/TheRedPill	14/11/18 05:30 PM

3	Lost the cheerleader. FML That, and the fact that labelling anybody as an HB10 puts them at god-tier in your eyes. Whether consciously or subconsciously. Even though it's just a meme, there is that chart that goes around this sub every once in awhile that basically says that HB10's are merely an HB9 that appeals to a particular taste that you have — making them "Extra special" in your eyes. That bodes poorly when you're trying to keep an abundance mentality and remain aloof. I think that OP is learning from his mistakes …	/r/TheRedPill	03/11/18 06:41 PM
2	Held Frame. I walked, She's sitting in jail. Yes, every emotion or action has its equal opposite. This is also partly why Zen is not about intense happiness, but about stable contentment. High euphorias can be followed by low depressions. It's more than just physics, it's more/less a life principle.	/r/TheRedPill	31/10/18 09:52 PM
3	How is frame so damn powerful? That's very true about the call centers and tech support. One of my jobs is doing sales work for a marketing agency, and we frequently discuss how the prospects/clients genuinely desire to be LED. It pertains to frame, but more about building the trust. Even before a prospect closes into a client, they need to feel like they can get behind us as leaders before they're really willing to listen to our suggestions or "pitch" if you want to call it that. So yeah, it's not exclusively a feminine-masc…	/r/TheRedPill	29/10/18 05:49 PM
20	How is frame so damn powerful? You're right on. I even had a 1st-hand look at this earlier tonight. There's a hole-in-the-wall bar/restaurant that I visited, and sat up at the bar to have a burger and beer on my own. It's always fun to see who is around and just be part of the environment..maybe have a good conversation. A "couple" joined me up at the bar, but sat a few seats down. I want to say they were probably each no older than 24? The girl was probably what would be considered a HB8 and the guy seemed pretty well put to…	/r/TheRedPill	28/10/18 04:26 AM

Do you have a sort of "regimen" you use to train these muscles? Other than just being conscious of how your head is positioned?

For information on positive masculinity, please see the resources available at Stony Brook University's Center for the Study of Men and Masculinities Hardly even surprising after some of the shit this year has produced. It sure feels like all of the awful social politics are reaching a crescendo. This isn't my primary account, but I've spent 2 years here on TRP.
