2	Why are there not more TPR posts about having kids and raising them? TRP was made at a point in time when concepts espoused on TRP were very fringe theory and "not socially acceptable." It was before "based" things were commonly circulated throughout the internet. At that point in time, much of the media and most men were prescribed and addicted to the Disney story which had a couple of assumptions baked into it. Women are princesses and deserve to be treated as such. They are angels and can do no harm. There is a soul-mate out there for you that you. The "good g…	/r/TheRedPill	09/05/23 08:39 PM
1	My red pill bros, how do I stop being a whiny bitch and start problem-solving whenever I am hit with adversity or difficulty in life? We men are meant to be problem solvers, but a lot of us are sure forgetting how to go on about our problem solving tendencies, anyways, tips and strategies? When you have 1 problem, you can focus your attention and figure it out. When you have 20,000 problems, it looks like its one big huge dragon of a problem that is impossible to slay because you can't parse out the small problems. I'd start by fixing the small problems one at a time. Break down the problems you have from big to small. Finally, accept that life is going to be hard and you're already dead. Once you do that, you realize that every day you have to move ahead on the path forward is gr…	/r/TheRedPill	20/04/23 04:54 PM
1	Why you should work hard, but not tell anybody that you do What point am I missing? Genuinely curious.	/r/TheRedPill	23/03/23 09:05 PM
1	Why you should work hard, but not tell anybody that you do If you're Dwayne the Rock Johnson, say all you want about your hard work. You and I are not the Rock so it's better to move in silence except for telling maybe your closest closest homies.	/r/TheRedPill	23/03/23 06:43 PM
1	Why you should work hard, but not tell anybody that you do This is contingent on them holding you accountable. What I find, is the only person that has accountability for you is yourself.	/r/TheRedPill	14/03/23 04:22 PM
1	Currency Exchange (Yea, it's a metaphor) The currency women crave, want and make them want to jump over you is in your control. You know what it is because AWALT. How about making yourself into a dude that any woman would want? The act of trying to get others to accept worthless currency is in itself naive. This isn't to say change who you are for one woman. It's saying change yourself into a man that all women would want.	/r/TheRedPill	23/02/23 06:41 PM

3	Why you should work hard, but not tell anybody that you do Your shortening the scope of the point to just my friend group. The definition of friend is someone who will celebrate you when good things happen, and mourn with you when bad things happen (followed up by encouragement to get your ass back into gear). So obviously, this isn't as applicable with your friend circle - although even with friends, its on a case and timing basis.	/r/TheRedPill	21/02/23 08:15 PM
1	Your goal should be to leave the Redpill, unless your goal is to help those who are behind you in the journey I have one friend who went on the journey with me many years ago.	/r/TheRedPill	21/02/23 12:14 AM
6	Why you should work hard, but not tell anybody that you do Lol then ask the question in a non rhetorical / less cunty manner.	/r/TheRedPill	18/02/23 04:55 PM
2	Why you should work hard, but not tell anybody that you do I haven't read it. But I'd guess that blabbing your mouth about your hard work is not mutually exclusive from never appearing too perfect. That's a problem imo if you become a 10/10 on all fronts. The reality is that's the ideal you're trying to reach. Realistically you won't be faced with the problem of being too perfect cuz you won't be.	/r/TheRedPill	17/02/23 09:06 PM
2	Why you should work hard, but not tell anybody that you do For added context, I wrote this in 2015 - while 48 laws of power was circulating at that point in time, it was nowhere near as "accepted" as a method of engaging in society 7 to 8 years ago by the broader media and internet as it is today.	/r/TheRedPill	17/02/23 05:25 PM
12	Why you should work hard, but not tell anybody that you do Yeah this is a nice addition - it's not that you aren't busy doing things. It's that the things you do and achieve come effortlessly. Being busy means your time is valuable so it's great. The best thing too is if you actually are busy instead of just saying it to get them to be interested. Although, it is a good default thing to say to girls because your time IS valuable.	/r/TheRedPill	17/02/23 05:21 PM
3	Why you should work hard, but not tell anybody that you do I think if you're at or below the level or physique the gym bro is at, there is no problem in talking about your hard work with them because they know how hard it is. If you're above them in physique and youre talking to a gym bro that is 5 years behind you and bragging about how hard you worked to get where you are, it's in poor form imo.	/r/TheRedPill	17/02/23 05:19 PM
9	Why you should work hard, but not tell anybody that you do I never read the 48 laws of power. So if it is one of the laws, then great it's accurate. How about approaching conversations assuming the positive instead of the negative. You're being unnecessarily hostile and argumentative.	/r/TheRedPill	17/02/23 05:16 PM
2	Why you should work hard, but not tell anybody that you do Sure we can parse the specifics. There is politicking and all that other shit. If I have to pick an axiom as a concept to flush out across all arenas of life between work hard and don't work hard, I'm gonna say work hard. Then the main point of this post is while you work hard, is don't brag about it. In the corporate office the nuance would be make sure people know what you've accomplished and you get credit where credit is due.	/r/TheRedPill	17/02/23 04:15 PM

25	Why you should work hard, but not tell anybody that you do I think you're focused on inter workplace dynamics and jackass idiot non-IT people This is more in the social sphere outside of work. Obviously in the workplace as an employee you don't want to be perceived as someone who doesn't work hard.	/r/TheRedPill	16/02/23 07:47 PM

5	Here, put on these Red lenses. Dunno - think you're reading too much into the example. This is complete fiction. It was just to make the point that the red glasses aka the redpill shows you something you were blind to before of how things are versus how you believe they are based on what you've been told your whole life.	/r/TheRedPill	16/02/23 07:18 PM
3	Here, put on these Red lenses. lol it's just a hypothetical - no need to read much more into it. This story was just to make the point that the red glasses aka redpill shows you a side you were blind to before.	/r/TheRedPill	16/02/23 07:16 PM
6	Here, put on these Red lenses. Huh? I don't necessarily think so. To me it's just the final option...if you play it out all the way to the end. You can use ultimatums to manipulate, but an ultimatum isn't inherently manipulative imo, unless I just have an incorrect definition of what an ultimatum is, which then to me is just us arguing semantics. If it is us arguing semantics, I would have just written the post to make that more clear.	/r/TheRedPill	16/02/23 06:45 PM

I'm simply articulating a solid conceptual framework he's put forth which I feel may be helpful to some people here. His character has nothing to do with the value of this concept - and it's not even his concept -I just heard it from him. It's derived from Jean Piaget, a Swiss psychologist known for his work on child development. Let me focus your thoughts by a question: how long have you focused on c…	/r/TheRedPill	10/02/23 07:17 PM

-1	Why you should not put women on a pedestal. I agree with you. If you read the side bar you'll get everything you need. But my formative years in the redpill was way more than just the side bar. Sure some stuff has been added there since 7 years ago, but when I was in learning mode, every article I read had a chance of adding 1% more or helping me click or connect one or two concepts. This pedestal/value concept for me was when I connected hypergamy and value and not fucking enough women to a common symptom of not having self worth: pedest…	/r/TheRedPill	10/02/23 04:07 PM
11	Why you should not put women on a pedestal. Yes it is that obvious...but I was one about 7 years back that didn't realize or accept that water was wet. Genuinely didn't grasp this basic fact. Many people are that lost. To me, this knowledge was like Tylenol. It helped me mask the symptoms. As for my cure of the disease, the biggest cure to oneitis is to pickup, kiss, fuck as many women as you can bc then you realize that while there is an ideal "image" of the feminine energy and ideal, there is no ideal woman.

If you want to try to have a conversation and want to impart wisdom on me or at least want to get people to be open to what you are saying, one thing you don't do is start the conversation by saying "This is such a stupid post."

Just because the actual movie itself was about becoming transgender, doesn't mean that this subreddit's name can't also be a direct reference to the concept that once you take the redpill of reality related to SMV and how sexual strategy actually works, you can't go back to blue pill.

1	Your goal should be to leave the Redpill, unless your goal is to help those who are behind you in the journey Cynical nihilism comes from loss of naivete combined with youthful maximalism. The fact that you had it later in life just means you have stayed naive for longer and nothing else. Adulthood is also recognizing that not everything is black and white. My point is you keep extrapolating my redpill journey as my general growing up journey, and framing this as if the redpill was my first foray into adulthood and nihilism, and that it would have happened regardless of if I had found the redpill or not…	/r/TheRedPill	09/02/23 10:25 PM

2	Everything feels like transactional value, what we bring to the table. Let me explain. While in theory what you say makes sense, the reality is far from a zero-sum. There is plenty of room at the top of many hierarchies you can compete in. You can easily have your squad of competent, solid men and all of you are killing it in life. Why? Not everyone is jacked, not everyone is focused, and not everyone has disipline - to go to your Mr Olympia example, most people are slobs and don't take care of themselves.

2	Your goal should be to leave the Redpill, unless your goal is to help those who are behind you in the journey I think the Redpill is all about building value and having value, not towards nihilism which is that there is no such thing as values or ideals. The whole concept of Redpill is built on the concept that things and people have value, and to be sure you are one of that has it. Be the person that is smarter, stronger, wiser. Those all come from a place on rank-ordering things which is not nihilistic.	/r/TheRedPill	09/02/23 08:03 PM

That happens regardless of discovering red pill. Congratulations, you've graduated to adulthood. I discovered the redpill when I was 26 with tons of "adult" responsibility, conscientiousness, and focus. I was not a cynical nihilist. I had values but had an incorrect map of how the dating world worked and needed to work more on my internal self. No need to be patronizing by welcoming me to a…	/r/TheRedPill	09/02/23 06:49 PM

Good to see you again - you helped guide me through a lot when I read a few years back. Thank you. I do understand - the post was merely meant to show a vision of where people can get to. I too was a bitter, resentful, angerful person and my hope was to explain that with time and transformation that subsides - if my post detracts or didn't make that clear that I empathise with that, that is my inadequacy. I do look forward to paying it forward.	/r/TheRedPill	09/02/23 05:55 PM

Like putting the world in a cynical or positive view is the same as seeing everything in black or white but you force yourself to see only in white when the world is mostly grey. Like can you just accept that some things are bs and move on, some women are not women and just hoes and move on or are not hoes and have something bs behaviour and move on.

1	Don't lie to women, spend your time learning to be clever and ambiguous with your words rather than telling lies. You'll simultaneously create more mystery while maintaining your integrity. Cool - thanks for the clarification. I guess I'm just visualizing a man who always gives the girl what they want as someone who is whoring out their attention. Girls to me, should not always get what they want - because the thing they almost always "want" is your undivided attention.	/r/TheRedPill	08/02/23 08:09 PM
5	Don't lie to women, spend your time learning to be clever and ambiguous with your words rather than telling lies. You'll simultaneously create more mystery while maintaining your integrity. I disagree. In general, I think the best course of action red-pill or not red-pill is to always tell the truth, or at least don't lie. Lying I believe weakens people / men. When you lie, I truly believe you are messing with the fabric of reality and you want reality on your side.	/r/TheRedPill	08/02/23 07:52 PM

If the same thing happened and you broke up with her, it would have nothing to do with the fact it was that specific girl. It would just be the fact that you miss the comfort of A GIRL.

3	Struggling to truly be at peace with TRP teachings. I was like this. When you put woman on a pedestal, you are telling the woman that they are better than you - quite literally above you.

They want a man literally to be above them - because why wouldn't you want a boss man that is better than you in every regard?	/r/TheRedPill	08/02/23 06:58 PM

You learn from Redpill that the thing that works is not what you've been told, but rather this other method. You try the method that Redpill suggests and it works.

Corporations are like a wolf pack, with "leaders" or alphas...except in this case, the "leader" or alpha isn't necessarily the strongest or the most "alpha" - they are instead those with the most experience or the most tenure, and if you want to move up and stay in the wolf pack of a corporation, you better comply with that Alpha.

I was more responding to your example of what some women might classify or label as asshole behavior: Being nice is often the appropriate, authentic thing to do.

2	Why playing hard to get doesn't work, and a better understanding of what's going on. Corollary to the above post: the reason why "being real" typically equates to being an "a-hole", is that most women are brats, act like brats, are entitled, and thus the "real" response is to treat them accordingly. Maybe if women weren't brats, being nice would actually be the correct response and thus be "more real."	/r/TheRedPill	08/07/14 04:09 PM

Granted, it did boost up my confidence and reduced my fear of rejection which may have improved my SMV. I do think though that a lot of the good responses I received from others was because I had the balls to talk period.
