| 1 | The Fetishization of the MusclesI'm calling out that you cannot authoritatively call something worthless if you have never had it. That's not an ad hominem or a personal attack. Yo your edit, your definition of worth is flawed. Read point three carefully. Muscles are expression of self development and discipline. Don't have them if you don't want them. I know I'm happier with. | /r/TheRedPill | 13/08/16 02:24 AM |
| 9 | The Fetishization of the MusclesA weak man is not as happy as the same man would be if he were strong. This reality is offensive to some people who would like the intellectual or spiritual to take precedence. It is instructive to see what happens to these very people as their squat strength goes up. ~Mark Rippetoe Or, to put it simply, "Do you even lift bro?" Don't hamster away the importance of lifting. When you hit a DL 1RM of 500, you can dismiss muscles as so much vanity. Until then, get in the gym on Stronglifts. Let's ho… | /r/TheRedPill | 12/08/16 08:46 PM |
| 1 | Things That Keep You Beta:Half-Swallowing The Red Pill.Thanks for that. It's nice to compare notes with someone so similar (except age). This is lonely work, especially when the gym I go to is filled with people doing so much dumb stuff it makes me think I'm going crazy. Lots of bench without scapular retraction, and not a row to be found, or weird combo lifts, or whatever. Here I am doing squats again... "Injury" might be a heavy word. It was a spasmed muscle each time, and made things painful for a few weeks. After the first time, i learned the va… | /r/TheRedPill | 27/07/16 05:24 AM |

| 8 | Things That Keep You Beta:Half-Swallowing The Red Pill.Mmm. Ruthless self-assessment time. That which gets measured gets managed. Though I have been lifting on-and-off for about 6 years, I had a family crisis that really hit me hard and set me back a few years ago. For practical purposes, I consider myself having "started" in January 2014, at 285 lbs. At this moment, I am 6'1", in my late 30's, weigh 220.4 lbs, at ~18% body fat. I am currently on a ketogenic diet, which I find makes my workouts take longer due to increased heartrate, but recovery ti… | /r/TheRedPill | 24/07/16 10:15 PM |

I've been on Stronglifts / Starting Strength for a few years. Only now am I moving weight worth talking about. This is not a quick fix, especially when you are older. I once read someone complaining on the Fitness sub about their trainer telling them to only drink once per week. They shouldn't be drinking at all, but most folks just don't want to hear it.

| 6 | Things That Keep You Beta:Half-Swallowing The Red Pill.It's a shame, too. OP correctly calls out the sour grapes you see on the MGTOW side - they get the message, but lose the lesson a lot of the time. TRP is so much more than PUA. It's a goddamned revelation. | /r/TheRedPill | 24/07/16 06:13 PM |
| 2 | TRP, the new Cosmo for MenOP of "Be Like Dwayne" here. What I was driving at was that the avatar of 'fat acceptance' hypocritically lays into a physically unattractive man in one movie, and (in actual reality) turns into a wet pile of mush when given the chance to touch a physically fit man in another. You get treated better if you are in shape. That's all. | /r/MGTOW | 24/07/16 08:35 AM |
| 2 | Be Like DwayneIt's a strange place to be. Right now, I look in the mirror at the gym and for the first time in my life I am like, "Fuck yes." That's a conscious thing. But carrying that self-image forward unconsciously into life encounters, rather than the unattractive slug I am used to being, is proving difficult. A lot of it is realizing that certain behaviors are "Chad experiences" I have never seen before. I'll be lying in bed reviewing the day and realize hey, that chick flashed me a smile and grabbed my… | /r/TheRedPill | 24/07/16 08:04 AM |
| 4 | Be Like DwayneHear, hear. I'm disappointed this post devolved into a steroid debate. The steroids conversation on TRP can sometimes be nuanced, sophisticated and informative. Other times, well... what you so eloquently point out is exactly what happened: "I can't do it, he's on steroids" became the rallying cry. The whole point went right over head. You don't have to be Dwayne Johnson. Be like him. His ethic. You and I will never be at his level. That's because it's his level. But we can achieve our own level… | /r/TheRedPill | 23/07/16 08:03 PM |

| 5 | 35% of young adult men in America now live with their parentsTop hit from 1 minute google search in my area.. ~125k inflation adjusted in 1970 for a home where median income is 46k. Interest rates were higher, but a 20% down payment was actually feasible for a young worker. It's not lies, bro.

| 14 | 35% of young adult men in America now live with their parentsIt all revolves around jobs.

You guys got it worse, but there was no cheap college, 4x median income housing, union jobs out of high school for us either.

| 2 | On steroids and life utilization- red pill advice requested.No sarcasm. I'm not a big steroid advocate, and it is unlikely I will ever use any myself in my lifetime. This is because I have done considerable research, and decided it's not for me - certainly not at the physical state I am at right now. Possibly T supplementation down the line. I also don't own a gun, but I support a person's right to use them. What I think is important in both cases is informed decision making.

The few women there are usually no great catch, and get an inflated sense of self worth because of all the attention from the thirsty guys.

For all of them, it left them fat and struggling to raise kids with a sad-sack provider. Think about how awful the Wall is.

| 8 | How the fuck you make 150k a year?Good catch, my bad. By a thousand. Contract rate for a role that pays 100k per year salary can be expected to contract out for $100/hr.

Seeing the code doesn't mean you can apply it right away; it really has to sink in for a while before it evidences in your behavior. The Blue Pill is a hell of a drug. For me, I had to accept that for all my previous years I had been a beta chump that was only ever looked at as a meal ticket, and started focusing on getting away from those traits.

I have a BMR of 1800, and was eating 500-700 calories per day until I hit a BF% of about 25%. It's actually quite easy. Ketosis works when you have a huge fat store to tap into, if you are eating the right things and keeping your activity low. It's about keeping enough protein in your body to prevent it from going into starvation mode, and enough roughage to keep things "moving along."

| 1 | Fundamentals of Fitness for the Newly Unplugged Middle-Aged ManCheck it. No joke about keto - you can lose the weight much faster than that. I'm talking 10-20 pounds per month, if you stay dedicated. If you are like me, the upper body takes time, and you will have to focus on it. The "peasant farmer" genetic profile allows for great gains in the legs, but arms and chest take longer. | /r/TheRedPill | 19/06/16 12:26 AM |

| 2 | Fundamentals of Fitness for the Newly Unplugged Middle-Aged ManI'm not kidding about keto. I was losing at a rate of about 20 lbs per month at the beginning.

| 1 | Fundamentals of Fitness for the Newly Unplugged Middle-Aged ManIf you have knee pain (not soreness), you are either doing the exercise wrong or have some sort of existing condition. Most likely it's the former. Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe has detailed explanations on how to squat properly. The basics, however, are a) knees out a bit, over feet b) head looking slightly down and c) think of a chain attached to your tailbone that is pulling you up. | /r/TheRedPill | 19/06/16 12:21 AM |
| 2 | Fundamentals of Fitness for the Newly Unplugged Middle-Aged ManI'll quote Mark Rippetoe on the subject: The reason that isolated body-part training on machines doesn't work is the same reason that barbells work so well, better than any other tools we can use to gain strength. The human body functions as a complete system - it works that way, and it likes to be trained that way. It doesn't like to be separated into it's constituent components and then have those components exercised separately, since the strength obtained from training will not be utilized t… | /r/TheRedPill | 19/06/16 12:11 AM |

The female prerogative is still the point; let's not forget that Miss Bennet's opinion of Mr. Darcy changed the moment she "laid her eyes on his estates at Pemberly."

Both of these events really fucked with my head, and I started to get self-destructive. Listen. We get two mutually exclusive messages as men.

| 1 | Need responses fast. Snitching on cheaters?I'm sure it's not the first time you've encountered someone getting a better deal than they deserve, and it won't be the last time either. There's always that guy looking for the easy way out. Folks like this tend to get what is coming to them. Not because of some magical karmic force of retribution, but because they establish a pattern of living that eventually bites them in the ass. A teacher will catch him, or a boss will catch him, or someone in a position to bend him over a barrel will take… | /r/askTRP | 30/04/15 07:56 PM |
| 2 | Need responses fast. Snitching on cheaters?I'm probably a bit older than you, so the cynicism is higher. Does his cheating affect you directly? Is a grade curve or an internship on the line? If yes, then absolutely. Otherwise, can you use the situation to your advantage? If no profit is to be had, then what does it gain you to tattle? This is one of those situations where you have to cool down and decide objectively. Pick your battles. | /r/askTRP | 30/04/15 07:30 PM |

I don' t know if I could go so far as to call her a "bad person", but she is certainly making bad decisions, and it affects Bruce's legacy. Had he been more aware of his own value, he would probably moved on from her early in their relationship. Whether he knew about her past or not, it should not have mattered. He was one of the smartest men I knew, and he would have been on the slingshot ride at the point in his life he married he… | /r/TheRedPill | 17/04/15 09:08 PM |

What has happened is that you have been brainwashed to buy the company line. You "own" some piece of it so you need to put in the time, you are "critical" so you can never take vacation. I promise, when you leave, you will see that there is nothing you own, and that they will be able to get along without you somehow.

| 1 | Altruism and Charity from a RP perspective.This is a good answer, and I would just like to add something. "Charity" in the context of a covert contract is not charity, and is not altruistic. Helping a girl move with the hope of getting a blowjob is not charity, of course. But more subtly, if you are putting money in the bowl each Sunday to be rid of your sins so that on Monday you can do them all over again, the point is being missed. This is why Jesus said that when giving charity, the left hand should not know what the right hand is do… | /r/askTRP | 26/03/15 07:10 PM |

I've been exactly where you are, and there is a simple explanation: there is a fucking parent missing from this equation. I'm sorry to say that you have to accept responsibility for your situation because, unfortunately, it's yours to own. But you are still a kid and someone should have been holding you accountable far before you spun this far out.

| 5 | TRP, will you give me your advice? My life is out of control.This sounds familiar, so I'm going to speak to it from experience. About the time I hit 17, I had about a freshman's worth of credits. After a certain point, it feels hopeless because it feels like there is no way to catch back up. And depending on your school, this may be true. You are, as they call it, "slipping through the cracks". You have to decide right now to take positive action, if you intend to get a high-school diploma. This an uphill battle, but one that is winnable - if you have the… | /r/askTRP | 09/03/15 09:06 PM |

I suspect you are only doing it for the kids at this point, but this is a time you have to think about yourself. You aren't doing them any favors as a role model right now. The best thing you can do is get out of there. Chances are when you get out of the situation and have some time to think, the answer will be as clear to you as it is to us internet strangers. | /r/askTRP | 23/02/15 05:02 PM |

Why do you think someone "fresh" will make you happy? Because here's the hard truth: it's nice to have someone pretty smile at you, but it doesn't nourish the soul. There is no one out there that will make you happy. That's up to you.

Here is the thing I have come around to realize: stop thinking about the "marriage" as an institution, a thing. You are currently in a relationship (roommate, parenting, sexual(?)) with a woman. This is a person you once loved enough to tack your whole trajectory with her. So remember that, but stop thinking about it as something anything was "sucked out from".

I was trying to put my finger on the big flaw in the message, and couldn't quite. "Throw like a girl" is shaming language boys use, and the exaggerated motions they show in the commercial are not an an insult to women, but to men. "Did you just insult your sister?" The answer is, "No, my brother." | /r/TheRedPill | 02/02/15 04:19 PM |

It's been causing our giblets grief ever since we were cavemen, and it's no worse than the myriad of other viruses and bacteria we deal with. Thanks to modern medicine, Acyclovir makes it almost a non-issue in terms of treatment. People just get stupid about stuff they don't understand. | /r/askTRP | 07/11/14 02:04 AM |

There is denial and laziness, etc., but a lot of people that want to get healthy don't know where to begin. Most packaged diet solutions are unsustainable, "regular" food is packed with sugar, and when you fall off the wagon the weight comes right back on. Its discouraging to say the least.

| 4 | 14 Things Every Fat Girl Absolutely Needs to HearSeattleite here. Another part of this is the rainy day syndrome. It has an effect on socializing, and it's rare to see a girl's full figure. Sitting inside 9 months out of the year with the daily Starbucks muffin @ 500 calories and Frappacino @ 300 doesn't help much either. To this point, just got back from Mexico. Body consciousness and skimpy clothing definitely makes a difference in the scenery. | /r/TheRedPill | 04/09/14 10:49 PM |

Blue Pill mentality is a lack of self-worth and self confidence, and the tendency is to overcompensate by acting toward others in a way that is different than who they are and how they feel.

In no way is my situation anywhere near yours, but I recognize my own struggles with the Red Pill in yours. The thing I keep repeating to myself is that I don't have to take on her anxiety. That is a"gift" I can choose not to accept - and the less frequently I accept that anxiety and try to "fix" it, the better things get. It is counterintuitive, but the results speak for themselves. | /r/askTRP | 13/08/14 06:35 AM |
