The difference is risk analysis vs. knowing what is correct about something. The comment I replied to is a straw man because its using an example of making an optimal decision to avoid a terrible outcome, while the OP is not. You don't know if it's a tiger or something else killing your bros, you don't know if it will happen again, but you choose a different path any way because risk/reward favors it. It doesn't mean you actually know what is going on.

I'm also glad to see people moving past it. People like alphas because they raise the group upward, which is the point from an evolutionary perspective.

If people just want to enjoy the decline fine by me. However this is helping to normalize dishonest behavior and therefore contributing to the decline.

For real bro. What good is all this self improvement if we just squander it helping to make the world a shitty place. We should be building a paradise.

Girls would cheat less if it were more frowned upon and not normalized. Actively partaking is sending a small message to the world that its ok, and these all add up. Instead tell these girls to dump their bf if they aren't happy.

Agreed. I know we aren't supposed to moralize here, but I wonder if we should be helping girls cheat on their boyfriends. Seems hypocritical to complain about it while facilitating the same thing. Tell her to dump the bf if she wants to act like a single lady.

I think my issue is a bit different. I default to beta behavior in the beginning when things are unknown and the girl is still on the fence. Once the girl is into me its easy because now they are coming after me rather than vice versa. Think I need to get better at keeping my frame during the initial stages. Its hard to go for girls while acting like you're not, haven't got it figured yet.

Happy for you bro. Not much useful info to take away here though, maybe talk about your transition to becoming That Guy and what worked and didn't work for you.

I think the truth is in the middle of both you guys. Girls are attracted to physical features and masculine energy. One can make up for a lack in the other, have both and you will slay.

The nice but not needy thing hasn't worked well for me either. Some guys seem to go out have fun and not really look for girls, but the girls show up and make it easy to talk to them. Sounds a lot more fun than cold approaching random girls. I think girls can tell when we are out scanning for them. I'm going to try this out for a bit.
/r/TheRedPill22/06/22 10:10 PM

Yeah man it's annoying. I guess the flip side is that most girls don't excite us physically enough to keep our interest. They aren't bad people or anything like that, they just don't have the look that lights up our primal desires. We have to excite them mentally to keep their interest, being a normal cool guy is often not enough and we shouldn't think it is. Idk maybe there is a higher level of being where we can have fun doing our thing while projecting the right vibe that attracts the women w…

Same. I've had a couple girls I found very attractive sexually but with red flags so anything more than a fling was out from the beginning. It drove them nuts that we would have awesome sex and so much fun and I just wasn't interested in more. The one girl I met that had long term potential I treated just like the others in the beginning and she loved it. We developed feelings for each other eventually, I started treating her more like a girlfriend, and she bailed shortly after that.

Yeah man. I have a couple who know the basic ideas but they don't really live it. No one in real life to learn any of this from.

That's a good point. This place was a valuable resource for me when I split up with my kid's mom. I had to take charge of that situation and set the course for how things would be after that point, and I may not have been able to without this place. I'm not talking about gaming chicks and all that, I mean stepping up as a father and not taking any shit from the mother. It was a good thing for everyone, most importantly my child, but it was also good for the mother. She needed that force present …

Yep a couple guys here said they need to be hot and we need to give them the feels. I've met a couple crazy ones who like the calm stoic thing, I think they felt so crazy by default that they enjoyed being with a guy who's like a rock for the calm vibes. But since they're crazy they eventually cross a line and get booted. My favorite girl I was borderline a dick to, wouldn't give her straight answers, kept seeing other girls. Our beliefs weren't compatible so she would point it out and break up …

You're right bro, in those moments it is authentic. It doesn't feel fake at all. I will work on that being my default state of mind.

How did you meet her?

Yeah bro the journey can be tough. I have a great father, however both my parent are like the total opposite of RP so I never learned anything about it growing up. It's funny, my dad is a badass in a lot of ways, he's worked hard to become a talented and capable person, but when it comes to women and social situations not at all. I grew up the same way. I feel like RP is my wise uncle filling in the gaps. I think if we feel like we're walking on eggshells we're doing it wrong. When doing it righ…

Eh who cares, most people are hypocrites in some way. Ignore it, keep going to the gym and eating right, act like you don't care when talking to chicks.

I kinda get it. I think the male counterpart is that women do all these things with makeup, hair extensions, push up bras, ass-lifting pants. Bummer when that 8 you meet is actually a 6 when the clothes come off. My favorite girl I was with dressed pretty modestly. I thought she was pretty and cute, then when we got naked I saw she was hiding a bangin body under those modest clothes.

It's me on certain occasions but not by default yet. I want it to be me, hard to shake the beta mindset I grew up with.

You're probably right, I'm not much of a story teller. Although I do find it feels natural in cases where women are already attracted to me and asking questions about things I like. It's hard for me to do it before that happens though.

​ So the mom is not with you anymore? How's your relationship with her and how well is she fulfilling her role to the kid? Several years ago she cheated and lied so I broke it off. I knew about RP before but really dove in after that. Everything is good now, I was able to use the knowledge here to flip the tables on her and avoid getting screwed over during the split, it also helped we weren't married. She tried to get back with me a few times but fuck that, lol. We share custody and costs 50/50…

Thanks man appreciate it. I do alright with shit tests from girls, that's one of the things I've found pretty fun. Used to fail miserably at them, lol.

I play music in bands, work out, hike, garden, cook, take road trips, go surfing. I work full time and am into the FIRE stuff so I can work less and do more of the rest. I'm having a great time but hot women don't seem to care about any of that stuff, the few who do seem to be happy doing it alone, lol.

Ok I get what you're saying, thanks. So gaming chicks is just something we have to keep doing if we want to be with them. A lot of guys on here are saying just live your best awesome life and the women will come, sounds a lot like Just Be Yourself which we know is BS. Do you thing they are off or am I misreading them? But are there other ways you're limiting your own success by not being what the situation needs you to be? Yeah I guess I fell into the idea that if I was having fun doing cool shi…

Perhaps it is. There are a lot of guys on here saying just live your best awesome life and the chicks will come, has not been my experience.

Sounds like you haven't internalised the pill, you're still looking for a way back. I think I did initially but then strayed from it recently. I think you can try a hybrid approach for the sake of your own emotional health, but be prepared that it will probably lead to your relationships turning sour at a point in time where you have invested much. How old are you? Do you want kids? What is it you really want from a woman? Late thirties. I have one kid and being a father is the best part of my l…

Man I used to get them talking too and not say much about me, had forgot about that. Damn I've gotten rusty since I stopped caring. Social proof is tough, all the hotties here are younger and outside my circles.

Only done that once since she invited me to her house after a couple drinks. Most girls I meet seem to need a few dates before they will.

I guess you live somewhere with night clubs. Where I live there aren't places to go meet girls and kiss them that soon. Its a small city, most girls are not used to being approached by strangers. I do it anyway of course. Most people know each other here so girls are careful what they do around others.

Another good way to put it which I haven't thought of. Seems obvious now, guess I had forgot they want the feels constantly in the same way we want them to look good. I think that's where I screwed up the last one, we didn't have much in common and I didn't make enough effort to get her excited.

With the girl I liked the best I could feel her slipping away when I got comfortable. Was never going to be a permanent thing anyway so had to end at some point and was amazing while it lasted. I guess thats the benefit if we can find girls without playing games. We wouldn't have to keep that up for them to stick around as they liked us without it from the beginning.
/r/TheRedPill15/06/22 05:04 AM

That's a good way to put it that I haven't thought of before. They want us to make them feel the ups and downs.

It doesn't make sense to me either. All the alpha guys I know do not have young hot women after them. Im starting to think its a fantasy.

/r/TheRedPill14/06/22 10:25 PM

Yeah you and others are expressing this idea that you become the best version of yourself and the women flock to you. I just don't see it unless what you want is to be someone like a rich nightclub owner or pro athlete in a cool sport, something high profile like that. If living your best life means doing something that flies under the radar or is not something that hot girls are into, it's not gonna do much in that regard.

I don't see how being your best self is gonna get you laid necessarily. Go be the best jazz trombone player or entomologist or whatever your heart desires and see how many girls want you lol.

Nah man I used to have lots of success so I know what works for me. Touching and flirting is enough to show interest. I've also moved too fast before and had them flake later due to that. What works best for me is to flirt and hold hands and all that stuff, and not go for a kiss unless her body language is wanting it. But definitely go for a kiss on the second date.
/r/TheRedPill14/06/22 10:14 PM

Is that working for you? I do all the basic stuff: am fit, dress nice, fun hobbies, good friends, I play in bands, good career, good with money. I get a lot of interest from girls but not the ones I want. Any girl I want I have to make the moves, sometimes it works sometimes not.

I haven't kept up with this sub recently but back when I did it was all about getting laid. I get that the path to that is through self improvement, but most discussion was centered around how to bone chicks. Is the message now to be the best man you can and not give a shit about women?
/r/TheRedPill14/06/22 09:54 PM

I had fun with the games for a while and enjoyed it. Recently it stopped being fun. I'd like to still succeed with women without having to go back to it. Maybe that just ain't how it works though.

I'm late thirties now, and didn't start this journey until I split from my long term girlfriend in my early thirties. I was satisfied with the quality in the beginning but found myself wanting increasingly hotter girls over time. It's hard to find hot ones in my age range, and I don't have hardly anything in common with the younger ones, so no not all that satisfied at this point. There were a couple that I was really into. One was kinda the total package, hot but modest, wealthy family, smart, …

Thanks for the replies. I just learned about all this red/blue pill stuff earlier today. I mean, a lot of the ideas I was already familiar with, but not the subs. I noticed there is quite a bit of resistance to many of the things TRP says. But I figure if it works for people, that's a good indication that TRP is correct about a lot of it.

Don't you think if a person participates in r/thebluepill, it means they identify with the label on some level? I see it like, if you're an atheist you can say it's not a label you just don't believe in god. But if you go to atheist club meetings, or participate in r/atheism, you identify with being an atheist on some level rather than just lacking religion.
