All well and good. Ex bio major here, with Chem and Math minors. Went to Med school, now early forties. I broke even a few years ago (even despite wife and kids), and barring acts of God it's looking pretty smooth sailing from here. This appears pretty much the norm for colleagues my age. I could coast from this point forward and still do well. Probably won't coast, though.

Maybe it's just me, but this isn't an attractive "end game" to me. I'm sure he doesn't give a fuck what I think about his life, but if, on my deathbed, this is what I had to look back on, I'd kill myself.

why be charitable with money time or emotional support? The way I see it, take care of yourself first - develop your body, mind, career etc. If you do it right, take your opportunities where you can and get a little bit of luck, there will come a time when you have most of what you need and want with some extra besides. I'm not just talking about money, either - I mean extra time, extra expertise, extra desire to help the community. Practically speaking, Red Pill is a sexual strategy, and doesn'…

Caesar's entire career really looks to be like this. He created the "first triumvirate" with Crassus and Pompey when he was really just a junior senator, thus allying himself with the real power people and allowing the stage to be set for his campaign in Gaul. The ten years he spent in Gaul essentially set in motion the history of that region for the next thousand years and established legendary acclaim for himslef which made him so popular back in Rome that it scared the other senators, leading…

When you get to your hospital, just figure out how things work. There is an institutional memory inherent in each hospital, and the sooner you figure it out the better. The advice above about learning the EHR and conference locations is spot on. Ingratiating yourself with the nurses is good but be wary of coming on too strong; actually, you can "game" the nurses too, using much the same principles - with some combination of appropriate advice-seeking and detachment/dread. You can do this kind of…

I hate this helpless, shrunken feeling and want to avoid it Embrace this helpless feeling, and understand that the reason for it is because you don't know enough. Don't fake anything because in this situation people will know; there are not hot-shot interns - and there shouldn't be. Your job for the next few years is to get to the point where you DON'T know nothing. Your confidence should come from experience and knowledge - when that happens, then you can strut (if you want).

Just because this offends the SJW's, doesn't mean it's actually a good thing. Unlike the Protein World campaign also mentioned on the front page, this one seems stupid; it was MEANT to incite outrage and protests, rather than just be a campaign for the company itself. Moreover, their "message" is puerile and nonsensical. While I support their right to say anything they want and certainly would not advocate defacing their property, I would definitely not associate myself with them in any way - es…

Its interesting to me that this girl, WHO WON'T PUT OUT, is considered by many commenters to be not worth it. What's your definition of a girl who is worth an LTR? I thought it was someone with a low number. A girl with a low number doesn't put out - not even with you. Crazy...

If you think about it, it's really just a matter of luck - either being born into such a loving household or being able to create a loving, stable family life as an adult. TRP can be depressing because it makes it painfully obvious that ending up with a good marriage and family as an adult is more a matter of luck than anything we can control. We're not guaranteed happiness just by following the fantasy script we've been sold; quite the contrary, actually. At the very least it removes the blinde…

Move on. If you go back know, you'll be the bitch. You know it. She'll know it and act accordingly.

I do not regret my bad boy phase because it made me the strong woman I am today, but I definitely would never go back to it. Just because you SAY it's not regret doesn't MEAN it's not regret.

It's interesting that this is called a "beta marriage," when really its anything but.

"Happy wife, happy life." Seemed so harmless. Now it's more ominous.

Given its a retrospective study, we can't make any hypotheses regarding the cause - that is: are women who are more prone to staying in a monogamous relationship just not going to be promiscuous anyway, or does starting down the promiscuous path CREATE a woman who will less likely be monogamous down the road? Regardless, it does add another bit of perspective on a woman's "number." As it turns out, past performance IS an indicator of future results.

So it's a freedom of expression argument?

Okay: I'm confused. I honestly don't understand how supporting something like this (which several people in the comments section have done) is in line with TRP theory. My initial response was dislike of this kind of a campaign from a personal point of view, and I don't associate it much with red pill philosophy. Can someone please enlighten me?

Not one point about what the daughter should do for her husband. It's all about what they should expect the husband to do (or not do) for them. Already, we can make some quite intelligent guesses about how his own marriage has been like.

What the fuck is this bullshit? How is being LESS of a man than you can be benefiting you? If I took your advice, I would end up a fat, dirty slob. But hey, at least I'd have a chick./s

Not to mention the fact that the woman he fell in love with seemed to like sex at the time, whereas she has now decided that she is no longer that type of woman. Bait-and-switch, really, and it wouldn't be "immature" if the guy felt this to be a deal-breaker.

Maybe. Also could be laziness or complacency - not wanting to put in the effort to find better women. Not abundance mentality at all.

So this guy was in a long-term relationship with a woman who he found physically unattractive? Good on him for not marrying her, but that seems like a profoundly poor way to live the last four years of his life.

Just goes to show you can spin anything into anything. That's about as convoluted an argument as you can get.

Even if all you say is true, so what? Everything in life is competition. We're not here on TRP because we dislike competing; we're here because we realized that the rules we were given and the criteria by which we were being judged were inconsistent. With that slight change in perception, all of a sudden we have a better idea of how the game is played and can therefore act accordingly. There's nothing inherently wrong about using Facebook to post how good your life is; you just have to understan…

I understand: no expectations = no disappointments. My question: what's so bad about disappointments? Sure they hurt for a bit, but they weaken the weak and strengthen the strong. One shouldn't avoid disappointments. Acknowledge when they happen, learn, and move on.

I don't know about anyone else, but that doesn't sound like a good life at all. If on my deathbed I looked back and that was the life I led, I'd be terribly disappointed. There's being alpha/redpill and then there's being a failure in all relationships. The former is good, the latter not. But from the way you described him, he seemed fine with that; I guess that's the more important thing. To each his own.

After reading this article, I have to agree. I understand this completely because it describes almost exactly how my marriage was until a few years ago. I was pretty blue pill growing up, after being exposed to the same media influences we all were. In addition, my father (now looking back) was the classic example of a red pill guy pre-marriage who devolved into a blue-pill husband, and essentially ceded the power and decision-making in the marriage/family to my mother. It seemed like a good arr…

This is also why the meaning of the "number" is different between men and women, regardless of how much people want to treat it as the same. A man with a high number of sexual partners needed to work for it. Unless you're just a naturally super-attractive male, you need to work on some aspect of yourself - physique, career/money, personality, intelligence - in order to "convince" a woman that you're worth the time and effort. Therefore your number is indicative of your sexual worth, which is dir…

I agree. Its interesting that they have a name for her "condition" but no one ever questions what the hell is wrong with this guy that he puts up with it. Like its assumed that he's normal.

I don't know if he's saying he doesn't care what other people think about him. In fact, it sounds like he's very conscious of his role, and that role is "exuding masculine energy." Pretty good definition of Alpha, if you ask me. Not that I think there's a need for more definitions (Really: sigma? omega? Aren't they all just variations of alpha and beta?), but a "sigma" is more of an aloof, fringy kinda guy who is still doing well in life and with the ladies.

I think the best parts of TRP are when the focus is on us, the men, rather than women. I get the most out of this sub when the discussion centers on ways to better myself - physically, professionally, mentally. Ultimately, TRP works best when used as a guideline for improvement. The PUA and game posts are even good, and are helpful even to married men like myself, just as a way of thinking about my relationship with my wife. (The dominant/submissive dynamic remains, and subtle dread game works e…
