If your frame is made of straw, it will collapse if a woman farts in your general direction, much less a real shit test. The problem isn't with external forces in themselves, they are a given. The problem is in the design and construction of your frame itself. Think hard about designing an earthquake proof frame. It's a harder problem than you think. Because abstract.

Wrong on cooking. There's a shit ton you can learn about the culinary arts, nutrition, culture, travel, history, geopolitics. Some of the hardest core men out there are professional chefs. And line cooks are in a fucking foxhole 15 hours a day. But sure, you don't have to look at cooking this way, but my monk mode includes this badassery every time I enter it. Plus, women don't cook anymore. Sad.

I think this is a really freaking cool post, so thank you OP. I do some bizdev in my job and everything you say is right. I really do learn a lot in every meeting, even if it's in an subject matter expert role. And when we don't land a deal, we Red Team it (Navy methodology) and it's eye opening.

Sex is awesome. No one on earth who would disagree. I did the plate thing. Did the FWB thing. Pros and cons. My calculus yielded cons more than pros by 3:1. YMMV, brother.. you have to figure out your own math. Please note, I've had incredible experiences. And I've had some scary ones. Life without women right now is more serene. And I have a shit ton more money. I bought a bunch of tech shares including call and put options the other day and I actually did the math on what I spent compared to t…

I won't disagree with your statement. But that distinction isn't really the important one. There are levels to MGTOW. Some date, some monk out. Either way, MGTOW is TRP based. No need to shit on MGTOW. If anything, MGTOW is TRP on steroids.

I spent 3 years dating aggressively after a long marriage that was abusive and awful. I dated women of all walks of life between 25-45. Of course I was successful, following the TRP ethos. It all works. I transitioned to MGTOW because I think hypergamy is positively real (after date #51). I decided that only until you can live without women can you actually live with them. MGTOW is merely TRP at an extremely high dosage. I am in a phase where I wish to prove to myself I can live without women. I…

Projection is the key word in your incredibly insightful comment. I am doing a lot of research into the power of projection, why it happens, how to discern projection from reality. I think this needs deeper treatment on TRP, especially for the newbies. I still do it all the time (project X onto Y). I'm not sure there's anything I can do about it. The only difference is to develop the discipline to analyze what it is you actually see in a woman. Once you get rigorous, the, well depressing, thing …

Oddly, this line of reasoning isn't ridiculous, though I thought so at first reading. Hypergamy 101 says that women degrade in beauty over time, hence the Wall. Men do not have this narrative. Assuming men take care of themselves, their "beauty" (aka SMV) increases over time. At age 48, I am fucking loving the leverage I have in this department. I did not see this coming.

Making a family is a good idea. Whether or not the legal construct of marriage is the precondition for raising a family is what is at issue here. I, single dad, divorcee. Raising a phenomenal little girl. I don't need to be married to be successful and happy being a father.

Yes and no. There is a causal chain that you are missing. It goes like this: Insight > Decision > Action. Action without Insight is empty. Insight without Action is empty. What makes a man is the Decision. Your post was great, but let's see a little more critical depth rather than regurgitation of talking points. I would never diss reading and thinking as "inaction". Inasmuch as I'd never diss action as "unthinking". These are false distinctions.

I second this sentiment. There are depressed feelings, which is normal when life throws you curveballs, and there is clinical depression, otherwise known as The Black Dog. I will, however, indulge OP's characterization of Beta backsliding due to the epic struggle to vanquish depression and how it utterly saps your will. I honestly think many Beta traits are due to chronic depression, taking the easy path of passivity and quick feel good fixes. So you have to know how to discern what's going on i…

Old fashioned means that once upon a time you could find a woman willing to cook you 3 squares a day with joy and skill. That's 1,095 meals a year. Have you met this woman? I haven't. I'd say about 70% of the women I've dated don't cook at all, and those who do just aren't that good at it. I'd encourage you to think solemnly about this phenomena and what it means for your deep longing. I did the math several years ago and just decided to take matters into my own hands.

What are the odds of finding the marriageable woman you speak of, all the justifications aside? 1:3? 1:10? 1:100? 1:2500? 1:58,000? 1:1,000,000? Not a rhetorical question. It has to do with the differential between your perception of your chances and the actual chances given what we know of female behavior. Each man will have his own perception differential, and my guess is that the men who end up here had that gap handed to them in their groin with a sledgehammer.

I think all relationships with women eventually die, from divorce, death, or duplicity. My quals: 48, divorced 3 years, married for 18; prior to marriage, 6 LTR's, since divorce 38 dates with .500 batting average on successful plating or FWB. No LTR's or marriage for me ever again.

In other words, you are the protagonist in your own movie. Supporting actors come and go. Settings come and go. But the genre is important to pin down. Is your story a RomCom? Action Adventure?

See the trailer for "The Big Short", based on Michael Lewis' awesome book. In my humble mind, it illustrates with wild abandon the subversiveness of a bunch of guys who saw the system being gamed by The Bankers and instead of whining about it and crying injustice (beta), went balls to the walls and shorted those fuckers to make mint (alpha). If TRP isn't the same kind of subversive and intelligent fuck the man by gaming their game, I don't know what is. https://youtu.be/vgqG3ITMv1Q

Without TRP I would have interpreted my date last night (an almost Dark Triad Woman) very differently. 90% of it was shit test after shit test. Blue Pillers would never have seen it, and would have answered her questions literally. TRP is basically a cheat sheet in how to play three dimensional chess with a supercomputer conceived in Hades. Day after date, no urges to write poems anymore. In fact, on the day after, absolutely no urges at all. This, gentlemen, is progress.

Do whatever you want. The trick is whether or not you expect anything in return. If you are nice to a chick or friend or charity or whatever, they benefit and that's great. It's just when you expect a return on your investment it's not really altruistic. Learn to distinguish and detach yourself from expectation of return of investment. And yes, do gooder feelz is a form of return.

I believe this a false premise, no matter how prevalent and strongly stated here. I think what TRP is a very good defensive framework for dealing with the fickle nature of women. I apply it everyday.

This is pandering to sell more tickets. It's not like they cast any old actress for the part. Monica Bellucci is still smoking hot and will give Bond a run for his money. What is interesting here is how they craft TRP Bond vs mainstream fem-power. My guess will be that Bond will stay pretty Bond, despite the politically "updated" hyperbole. Frankly, all the Bond girls have been pretty badass, so I am unconvinced this is anything all that significant in the cultural landscape.

You can try your damndest "not to get her bored". But you'll fail. Because hypergamy. And because it's missing the point.

The point being: you will be the one who gets bored because she becomes so predictable.

Betas set the expectations of compliance. Alphas set the expectations of IDGAF. Both have consequences to the male when things blow up, but the IDGAF mindset is the more resilient of the two.
