| 1 | My role model just died, how do I recover?I know you're being kind, but I don't think anyone could understand how hard this guy worked. When I say he trained like an olympic athlete, I mean that. He was surrounded by coaches, he had sponsors, he was training from sunrise to sunset six days a week. How do you work twice as hard as he did? That's not possible. | /r/askTRP | 09/10/16 01:10 PM |
| 1 | My role model just died, how do I recover?He was a great man, and he made it farther than I've ever made it in anything. He won titles, just not the ones that mattered to him. He made it to that level where people could tell he was taking it seriously, training all day every day religiously, but he never made it far enough to prove himself to himself, or to make all the time he spent worth it. On the one hand he loved what he did, but on the other hand it was difficult and I know in the end he was constantly asking "What does it mean if… | /r/askTRP | 09/10/16 01:08 PM |
| 1 | My role model just died, how do I recover?In its own way that was a beautifully written comment, but it wasn't very hopeful. Sounds like life gets accumulatively worse as everything you love or believe in dies and you're riddled with more and more scars as reminders. What's the part you're supposed to look forward to? | /r/askTRP | 09/10/16 01:06 PM |
| 1 | My role model just died, how do I recover?Thank you. I don't plan to do drugs or drink. I know neither of those things are real solutions, and they don't make the pain go away, or change your fate. | /r/askTRP | 09/10/16 01:05 PM |
| 1 | My role model just died, how do I recover?That is an interesting thought. I feel like oneitis for a woman is different from passion for a craft. If we can't have either, what are we really doing in life? There has to be something we're devoting ourselves to. Otherwise I feel like we're just wandering around sampling shit in some shallow effort to avoid boredom until we die. | /r/askTRP | 09/10/16 01:04 PM |

They're not sexy or exciting, but the truth is there isn't and has never been an effective method of predicting the market based on systems or statistics.

| 1 | A Beginner's Guide To Working Out (Based on ExRx)You shouldn't lift every day because your body needs time to recover and grow. If you chose to split the muscle groups up even more you could technically lift more days of the week, and there are programs for intermediate and advanced athletes where you lift more often, but for the sake of simplicity I highly recommend sticking to a basic full body program for the first 6 months. You can increase the volume as you get stronger and your conditioning improves, then when your workouts are taking lo… | /r/TheRedPill | 06/09/16 06:18 PM |

| 1 | Dealing with body dysmorphiaDidn't start really paying attention to my diet and fitness until I found TRP and took charge of my life at 26. Of course by then all my growing hormones are basically done. I can be a strong skinny guy but that's about it. It's good you chose to work toward it anyways. I tend to think people can achieve far more than they expect when they're being critical of themselves, but if all you can achieve is a 5 and you're a 3 now, why not become a 5?

| 3 | shoe0nhead AMAThank you for the response, and participating in the AMA. Your videos do a great service to MRA, and you are very talented. Honestly. I do find you slightly too optimistic, but I have no desire to crush that optimism. I believe the difference between speaking about biology and speaking about human beings is similar to statistics and outliers. Biology is a broad stroke.

| 3 | shoe0nhead AMAI can certainly relate to the desire to see human beings as more than bio-machines obeying our conditioned programming, but if that's not the conclusion research points to with confidence, I have made a considerable error. I'll try again to re-word my question in a manner more appropriately suited to the AMA context. Do you believe that men and women can ever learn to fully appreciate each other, or will the chasm only expand as we discover just how different our needs and goals really are? | /r/MensRights | 12/08/16 11:32 PM |
| 5 | shoe0nhead AMAMale feminists, based on my own observations, appear to be treated by women as disposable henchmen who are otherwise undesirable. Female men's rights activists, on the other hand, seem to be celebrated as the ideal, or saints, by men. This leads me to believe that the male-female divide goes deeper than just semantics like defining equality or fairness, and is actually rooted in evolutionary-psychology. Can you comment on theoretically inherited female qualities, like hypergamy, and whether or n… | /r/MensRights | 12/08/16 11:03 PM |

I'm going to critique it, but keep in mind that is not an attack on you or the post. You shared your thoughts on the subject and I'd like to share mine in return.

| 2 | Scarcity and the psychological economy of sexual keepersThanks man. I've come to the conclusion that the hardest part for most men is being stuck in a situation where they have too much time and too few projects that feel productive and meaningful. When you have no job, no friends, no hobbies, your biology's answer to boredom and loneliness is to go hunt for sex. Immediate gratification, which is why porn becomes so addictive. If people only knew how rewarding having a real job can be when you feel like what you're doing is increasing your value and … | /r/TheRedPill | 09/08/16 01:40 PM |

| 0 | Book on Discipline?Honestly, I think this article is all you need to read on discpline. Beyond that, the very act of reading more about discipline is somewhat contradictory to the artform itself. It would be better to apply it by doing the things that need to be done rather than perpetually learning more about them in place of doing them. | /r/askTRP | 03/08/16 12:53 AM |
| 1 | Scarcity and the psychological economy of sexual keepersI think you may lack a complete understanding of the computational theory of the mind, but that isn't really what's important here.

The fact that I think the quality of posts is low is the reason I have to ask. You can not tell what MGTOW is simply from reading the sidebar (which is a mix of Red Pill stuff and random prose, or a wikipedia about islands) or the posts on the front page.

If you don't want to hold her hand, don't give some generic passive-aggressive excuse. Just tell her you don't want to hold her hand. If she asks why, which I bet she will, then tell her why. If you like holding hands, then no, it's not beta to hold her hand, but it sounds like you don't appreciate her making you hold her hand. In that case, if you hold her hand when you don't want to because she's making you,… | /r/askTRP | 02/08/16 02:12 PM |
| 1 | Scarcity and the psychological economy of sexual keepersI'm glad you liked the post. If you are interested in reading more about what I mean by a program, I recommend the book "How The Mind Works" by Steven Pinker.

| 2 | So I (20 M) let my bravado get the better of me and confronted a group of 6 teenagers (16-17 year olds as a guess).Yeah, but the second you put your fate in the hands of the law, you let it slip out of your own hands. I would never willingly do so, even if I am supposedly in the 'right'. Just look at divorce court for examples of how just the justice system is.

I mean you can start a sandwich you aren't going to finish if you really want to, but as far as confrontations go, you didn't have an exit strategy and you didn't know what you were going to do.

| 1 | Scarcity and the psychological economy of sexual keepersWould be interested in hearing more about your thoughts on what true happiness or fulfillment are, especially related to the human male. I don't believe a theory of perfect fulfillment can exist, but something to work toward that makes sense would benefit us all. Maslow's hierarchy of needs seemed to be heading in the right direction, but it's not male-specific, and it's too vague. It offers little to actually build on in our actual lives, beyond just a nod of "That makes sense, but how do I app… | /r/TheRedPill | 01/08/16 06:39 PM |
| 1 | Where did TRP originate?Even the invention of the automobile only goes back so far. You can go back pretty far with TRP, which mostly originates from PUA from what I can tell, based largely on The Rational Male and common sense. Who invented the wheel? Who first mined and refined metal? Who discovered the laws of motion? At some point I think you end up with a picture of adaptation in tiny stages that eventually leads to a particular tool we consider sacred, but in reality is just a point on the surface of the wheel th… | /r/askTRP | 01/08/16 06:37 PM |
| 2 | Scarcity and the psychological economy of sexual keepersI think that's an optimistic outlook on how that would go down. More likely droids would be outlawed or something along those lines in order to protect women. Maybe they'd be classified as a drug because men would be addicted. Who knows, but don't underestimate your opponent and assume things would happen the way you want them to. | /r/TheRedPill | 01/08/16 06:34 PM |
| 2 | Scarcity and the psychological economy of sexual keepersI agree with the sum of your statements. It all comes down to personal fulfillment, and vitamin P can only ever be one small piece of that puzzle. I believe addictions are formed when a person attempts to satisfy unrelated emotional, intellectual, and physical needs through inappropriate mediums.

It's funny because I actually came to this conclusion days ago and have been pondering the deeper meaning of what that really says about me, men, sex, women, and nature.

| 2 | Where did TRP originate?I think you have to make a distinction between origins and popularization. For example, the red pill REALLY started with the film The Matrix, but what I'm really getting at is that there is no specific origin because the ideas, whether specifically relating to PUA, MGTOW, TRP, MRA, etc. Have all existed in many forms for many generations.

On the other end you're alone in the void of space. Create markers at every stage of the continuum so that you can always work toward the 'less alone' end.

Every male alive would be annoyed by their wife constantly complimenting another man, it's not like you're showing some "blue pill insecurity beta behavior bux" by not responding with a "cocky and … | /r/askTRP | 22/07/16 07:36 PM |

The key to what you're saying seems to be the "amused" part, which is similar to the existentialist philosophy of absurdism and you even used the word absurd in your description. Essentially, you have to recognize that life is a joke and laugh at it, but if you don't find it funny, sometimes it can be better to distract yourself for a while than to si… | /r/TheRedPill | 22/07/16 05:11 PM |

| 1 | Where to learn how to be a man if you grew up without a father?I have been reading the sidebar stuff and will continue to do so, thanks. All of this advice I liked. I have some questions about two parts. As for my career, I intend to learn it well, but should I always push myself to be the guy who puts in overtime and takes on extra responsibilities? Or should I just do whatever is comfortable as long as I am good at it and deliver results? Never and I mean never be an emotional tampon or show extreme emotion in public or even that much in private. I don't … | /r/askTRP | 19/06/16 02:09 PM |
| 1 | Where to learn how to be a man if you grew up without a father?I actually read the book and didn't really find it useful. Maybe I should take another look at it. | /r/askTRP | 19/06/16 02:02 PM |
| 1 | Where to learn how to be a man if you grew up without a father?You can't say, "poof," and come up with it. It takes years and pondering, and living in itself to figure these things out. Understood, but isn't that what books are for? To transfer the years and years of pondering from one generation to the next? Did you find TRP recently? If so, you might have had a world shock and you may feel stripped of beliefs and you may lack a purpose that is backed by something. If so, give it time. Oh I wish I was a bright eyed, pink cheeked newbie. I have read TRP on … | /r/askTRP | 19/06/16 03:21 AM |

| 2 | Where to learn how to be a man if you grew up without a father?I'm a bit older already, 29, so being mentored is a little odd at my age. I'm not a kid anymore, so I can't walk around asking people to be my daddy. Also, I was hoping there was something I could read before I enlisted. I'm smart enough to know that the people you learn with will never see you as the end result, always how they first met you instead. So if I don't know what I'm doing when I first join I'll always have that reputation. I did have a mentor type once though. Met him training at an… | /r/askTRP | 19/06/16 03:09 AM |
| 1 | Where to learn how to be a man if you grew up without a father?I appreciate the tip. I guess I wish there were some core fundamental principles. Like in the Navy they have the sailor's creed, and general orders. They have the three principles honor, courage, and commitment, which feel extremely vague to me but still the point is it gives you some notion of what is expected of you as a sailor. I don't know what is expected of me as a man by the general population and not just women. I'd like to be that guy who my superior officers notice and say "He's mature… | /r/askTRP | 19/06/16 02:40 AM |
| 1 | Where to learn how to be a man if you grew up without a father?I have seen a fair amount of good, manly advice here, but the vast majority of it is directed toward picking up girls and increasing your SMV. I appreciate those things, but I don't JUST want to be good at picking up girls. I also want to respect myself and be proud of my personality. Feel comfortable socializing with a variety of people, like officers (I'm joining the Navy), other men, and strangers I don't necessarily want to fuck. I do intend to stick around, so I look forward to being amazed… | /r/askTRP | 19/06/16 02:37 AM |
| 2 | TRP has made me cold, unforgiving, and miserable.I don't know much about it. How much does it affect your ability to do things and your appearance? You mentioned you go running, so I'm not easily picturing where your limits are or what it's like to be you. My best advice is to try and reach the highest SMV you can. Generally through a combination of fitness, money, and charm. Even if your body is not cooperating, the other two (money and charm) are things you can control. Do what you can, but hopefully don't do it just for the sake of getting … | /r/askTRP | 19/06/16 02:33 AM |

| 1 | The look: deciding on an aesthetic body typeI'm 5'9, but I think I'm just going to shoot for my genetic potential without drugs. Seems that the only reason not to is trying to be clever and unique, which is stupid. | /r/askTRP | 19/06/16 01:06 AM |
| 1 | The look: deciding on an aesthetic body typeHaha, alright man I appreciate the advice and stories. The 'crazy stupid love' reaction makes me gag. It's like the physical version of telling a girl whatever she wants to hear and she's like "Ohhhhh my gawwwd you're like perfect." No, I'm just smarter than you, which isn't very hard. | /r/askTRP | 19/06/16 12:51 AM |
| 1 | Negotiating my own standardsAny reason you aren't ripped? If not, get ripped. I understand women well enough from a few ltrs and what I've read. I'll take your word for it, but it doesn't sound like you feel that comfortable or confident. Do you ever approach women you don't know in person and ask them out? Does it work? I can keep a conversation going but I have natural autistic tendencies that make me seem awkward. I don't know what natural autistic tendencies means, but again it sounds like you don't feel confident with… | /r/askTRP | 18/06/16 10:56 PM |
| 1 | The look: deciding on an aesthetic body typeYes, I can decide between being 185lbs with 16% BF and 145lbs with 6% bodyfat. Why are people confused about this? It's not like I'm listing bodybuilders with 20+ inch arms. | /r/askTRP | 18/06/16 10:10 PM |
| 2 | Negotiating my own standardsSometimes shit happens and you run out of options, but are you sure you're out of options? Exhaust all possibilities before compromising. Are you extremely fit and muscular? Do you have a lot of money and are you very successful? Do you have nice things? Are you good at talking to girls and do you understand their psychology well? Do you dress well and have a good fashion sense? Are you happy even without a woman, and are you constantly working toward exciting new goals in your own life? Do you … | /r/askTRP | 18/06/16 09:45 PM |
| 3 | The look: deciding on an aesthetic body typeYour first mistake is caring what body type 'women' like. That's like saying it's a mistake to do market research as a salesperson. I get that TRP isn't about catering to women's desires, but there's a difference between changing your lifestyle purely for her and tweaking what you already want to get the best results all around. Your second mistake is thinking you're ever going to look like those pictures. Besides the guy from Game of Thrones, which I already said I can't look like because I'm 5… | /r/askTRP | 18/06/16 09:37 PM |
| 1 | The look: deciding on an aesthetic body typeI have no idea what my ratios are, I just know I have an above average face based on rating websites and general life experience I guess. Hmm, very interesting story about the Bruce Lee body vs the built body. Definitely sounds appealing to get all the extra love and respect. Perhaps the only reason I'd even consider doing Bruce Lee body instead is because I've always liked being unique, but at the end of the day I guess I should prioritize value over flavor. | /r/askTRP | 18/06/16 09:17 PM |
| 1 | The look: deciding on an aesthetic body typeDamn, I don't think I'd want to be a bodybuilder like Arnold in his prime. That's a lot of drugs and life dedication to lifting. Best of luck to you though if that's where you're headed. You're definitely right Bruce Lee's body isn't the style, but I still think he could get laid pretty easily, so the box is still checked regardless. | /r/askTRP | 18/06/16 09:00 PM |
| 1 | Seem to be invisible to womenAw man, freaking socialism at work castrating men. Sorry to hear about that. I guess if everyone makes the same regardless of what you do, I can understand why you'd lose motivation. I didn't realize you were EU. | /r/askTRP | 18/06/16 08:58 PM |
| 3 | I got into an altercation and strange situation - how could I have handled it differentlyNot sure why you tried to be a hero. From my (cold) perspective you took on responsibilities that weren't yours, for no reason. You were there to get food, not to judge people or act as police liaison making citizen arrests. If you don't plan on finishing it, don't start it. You weren't in a position to finish that without committing a crime, so don't start it. Accept that the world is full of turds and you aren't a toilet, so let other people do their jobs (or fail at them) and stick to your ow… | /r/askTRP | 18/06/16 08:38 PM |
| 1 | Seem to be invisible to womenOk, so if you really care about your family you're saying you don't want to be able to provide them with any luxuries? You want your son to look up to a man who does the bare minimum to get by? I'm not trying to shit on you, just saying that you say your focus is on your family but instead it sounds to me like your focus is on being lazy. I've been the same way, not judging, but TRP isn't really a community about doing the bare minimum to skate by and get married. If that's your goal, what are y… | /r/askTRP | 18/06/16 08:30 PM |
| 3 | The look: deciding on an aesthetic body typeNot sure if you didn't read, or if you're just giving generic advice, but I did lift for 6 months and got past novice lift levels for my height and weight (based on ExRx strength standards for the major lifts.) The only reason I shifted away from lifting heavy is because I need to do as many pushups as possible for getting high test scores in boot camp for the Navy. You get special privileges if you can do 100 pushups or 100 situps in 2 minutes. After boot camp I'm immediately going back to lift… | /r/askTRP | 18/06/16 08:27 PM |
| 1 | The look: deciding on an aesthetic body typeBased on your logic I should stick with ripped and perfectly proportioned. I actually don't like the idea of taking drugs. Out of curiosity, do you totally discount the Bruce Lee look without the +10lbs of muscle? Is that based solely on women wanting more muscle, or based on the fact that there is no real functional advantage as a man? | /r/askTRP | 18/06/16 08:23 PM |
| 1 | Seem to be invisible to womenI don't think everyone's ideal career is the same. Not everyone longs to be rich, and not everyone wants material things, but I think you will find people here do encourage you to put a healthy amount of effort into your career. Not only will women see a man without ambition as weak and a poor provider, but career can (hopefully) be one of the best and most rewarding places to invest your energy. It's a way to invest in yourself rather than in women. To illustrate: compare a guy who just wants t… | /r/askTRP | 18/06/16 08:19 PM |
| 1 | Seem to be invisible to womenI included improving your professional life under self-mastery, because I think having resources to spend is a vital part of self-esteem and functionality. Didn't mean to imply you shouldn't approach a girl until you're CEO. More like, if you're still working your childhood paper route you might need to upgrade before you feel confident and have the resources necessary to afford a wardrobe. | /r/askTRP | 18/06/16 08:11 PM |

Seems kind of like their conclusion is "Breaking News!!!!! Punching with a FIST is better than punching like Niles from Frasier. + Biological explanations for why." Uhh, I guess I figured that out when I was like 14? Don't really care why? I expected it to be like "Hands ACTUALLY better at punching than using tools.

| 1 | Seem to be invisible to womenStyle is more or less a billboard for what you are selling. Business suit and slick hair = slick businessman. Leather jacket and rebellious haircut = rebel in a leather jacket. It's all shit for women, because men are perfectly happy in whatever is comfortable and functional. Right now you have nothing to sell. You lack confidence, you're out of shape, and you're confused. There is no style for that, except maybe the style you're wearing. Focus on improving yourself and then guaranteed, as you i… | /r/askTRP | 18/06/16 07:47 PM |
| 1 | Harsh Truth Time: Porn is Made for LosersSo you have to look at it like a drug and make it as least pleasurable as possible. Like taking medication instead of getting high. It serves purely as a necessary function, but should not in any way be seen as a source of joy since it obviously isn't adequate to maintain happiness or self-esteem. | /r/TheRedPill | 18/06/16 07:06 PM |

| 2 | Harsh Truth Time: Porn is Made for LosersRead, understood, agreed. What about the fat loser who is only just beginning to take the pill? Are you advising he quit porn cold turkey and only ever masturbate to mental fantasies? It seems as though you're encouraging the reinvestment of energy away from porn, which is wasteful and draining your masculine incentive for self growth into a tissue, into an all-pussy diet. If you can't afford or procure pussy, then you don't eat, and thus remain hungry. Is that pretty much it? But again I must a… | /r/TheRedPill | 18/06/16 06:45 PM |

Easy exercises to cover all of those are bicep curls, tricep cable pushdowns, grip work for forearms, cable crunches for abs, and lateral raises for shoulders (assuming you already have something for rear delts like rows) Body fat is … | /r/askTRP | 17/06/16 09:26 PM |

The point is that right now you're in the stage of contemplating, you need to be in the stage of action.

| 1 | Limp dick misanthropy syndrome. Help?It is a slippery slope (and not the pleasant kind). We have in common the fact that we no longer desire to please women, but I think where we differ is perhaps in gaining any value from believing a woman is into us. If a beautiful woman showed up right now and said she had no desire in life other than taking care of all my sexual and other needs, I would still walk away. Why? Because she's full of shit, and I know that, even if she believes her own lies. My choices are to temporarily manipulate … | /r/askTRP | 17/06/16 04:47 PM |
