I would be very cautious about trying to applying Dread until you are well past the validation seeking phase, because that usually leads to punishing/training her to provide validation instead of enjoyable sex. You're not there yet, and you're sending the wrong message at this stage. Thanks for taking the time. Even before the additional clarification, your short reply gave me a lot of value. I thought a lot about the concept of genuine desire and dread and what strategy I should be using at my …

After few decent weeks of linear progression, I’m now failing to complete my DL reps. I’ve noticed that it becomes increasingly hard to grip the bar, so I’m considering changing to mixed or hook grips. Alternatively, maybe just use straps. What’s folks experience on this? Are there any disadvantages to using straps? I have some experience here. In another lifetime, I got my deadlift up to competition levels (~450@130lb) using straps on my heaviest set. I started when I noticed that feeling the b…

What you're saying is super clear and makes all kinds of sense. No notes. A very difficult part of this journey for me has been trying to entrain the behaviors that increase my 'odds' before I've achieved the abundance that would make these behaviors natural. It may or may not be more time efficient than first getting the abundance and then breaking my old habits, but it definitely creates a lot of inner conflict. For a very pertinent example, permitting myself to cheat on her, even something li…

Your experience and interpretation speak to me. The concept of dread has fallen out of fashion in this space, and I think most (past the anger phase) would rather their wife fuck for genuine desire rather than to keep them from cheating/leaving. But if true abundance is the highest sexual strategy, then how does one walk that line? You said something very interesting that I think brings out the fundamental question: "If ... she keeps refusing and ... you WON'T let yourself get it from other wome…

I've not, but the examine.com page is convincing enough to warrant a try! I've just started trying out forskolin, and when I've nailed down what effects it has on me, I'll try out tongkat ali. Maybe even my wife can benefit from the stress reduction effect.

Thanks for your comment. If I'm honest, I wasn't sure if you were serious, but I see from your post history that you make genuinely helpful comments. I don't know if it all came off as butthurt or some kind of punishment for her lack of enthusiasm, but that's definitely not the way I want to go. The every unhappy wife is a rape victim thread really hit me. I understand that the dynamic needs to be that she's into it out of genuine desire and not because she's afraid I'll cheat or leave, even if …

OYS #5 age: 40, wife is 33, married 5 years, baby ~1 year. OHP: 135, BP: 195, SQ: 285, DL: 350 lb Wt: 146 lb, BF: 16%, Ht: 5'4". OYS#1, #2, #3, #4 Physical Goals: "Advanced Strength Goals" at 15% BF I tried calorie cycling to get my libido back. I figured I could eat maintenance on workout days so I have libido 3x per week. It hasn't worked out. The issue is that I often use one of my lifting days per week to meet up with friends/colleagues, and I'm back home after the wife is alseep. That leave…

Thanks so much for this. I finally yesterday had a full hour to dedicate to my workout. I took your advice and mentally consecrated that time fully to the goal of getting the most out of the session. As you explained, it allowed me to put everything else aside, so that the only things in the world were myself and the bar. I expected the additional rep on my heaviest set, but what surprised me was when I applied myself fully to the accessory lifts at the end of the workout. My only intention goin…

Great note! I've been speeding through my workouts so I can get on to the next task, thinking that this is good time management. But I know that if I do one more warm up set and then slow down to focus a bit more, I can crush the heaviest set, and that's a fantastic feeling. This insight clearly shows the power of thinking in terms if investment instead of purely time efficiency.

Hope you don't mind I replied to this in this week's OYS thread. https://www.reddit.com/r/marriedredpill/comments/13cjnuz/own_your_shit_weekly_may_09_2023/jk0rbug/

I replied to this in the most current OYS thread. I think it makes more sense than discussing in a dead thread. https://www.reddit.com/r/marriedredpill/comments/13cjnuz/own_your_shit_weekly_may_09_2023/jk0rgbu/

This post is a reply to /u/HornsOfApathy, who replied on my last OYS. There's no way I'm alone in this. Has anyone had this problem and solved it? Yeah. Sleep faster. There's also hundreds of men that figured out how to get the time to get shit done. It's not for everyone, you know, being high value. If everyone could do it there'd be no value in these men. Pick your hard. Hi. Thanks for all the value you bring to this community. I guess you mean something like the military method. I've always u…

This post is a reply to /u/oobertas_, who replied on my last OYS. time management My projection: It's a negotiation. Do you like the returns on the investment of time? If not, change the investment. You get 24 new hours each day. If your return is happiness, what investment tends to produce that return. Is there extended investment you need to make now for higher returns later? Can you find happiness in the investing itself, and the risk of losing the investment? If so, then you play with house …

OYS #4 age: 40, wife is 33, married 5 years, baby ~1 year. OHP: 135, BP: 195, SQ: 285, DL: 335 lb Wt: 147 lb, BF: 16%, Ht: 5'4". OYS#1, #2 #3 Physical Goals: "Advanced Strength Goals" at 15% BF Calorie restriction has been killing my libido and leaving me anhedonic during the week. Things improve within hours whenever I eat more, so I don't think I'm doing permanent damage. Still, I need my libido. I see two possible avenues here: the first is to shift more food from rest days to lifting days, e…

OYS#1, #2 Physical Goals: "Advanced Strength Goals" at 15% BF Lost strength, which is no suprise after an extremely difficult month of March. This month, I'm back under the bar 2x a week doing Martin Berkhan-style RPT and cutting, so I probably won't gain back the strength any time soon but the weight loss is going fine. Since I'm still pretty fat, I'm trying to lose f…

Hey, thanks for taking the time to read my OYS and comment. If you think it's relevant, my lifts are probably what they were last month, minus whatever's the penalty for neglecting ones health for a month. BP: 210 lb, OHP: 140 lb, SQ: 285 lb, DL: 340 lb I'm at the end of linear gains. Do you think my issues are related to my strength level? Something about struggling in silence to accomplish things for me? I'm going to take your advice and reread NMMNG. I think you're right that seduction is not…

OYS #2 age: 40, wife is 33, married 5 years, baby ~1 year. Wt: 154 lb, BF: 17% (stronger.io), Ht: 5'4". Difficult Month Not gonna post lifts this month, because I haven't touched a barbell. Shortly after my last OYS, one of my projets at work spiralled into an unmanageably large and high-stakes crisis involving a client that we could not afford to lose. In the end I was able to enlist the help I needed to get everything done passably, but I have to admit that I did not handle it well emotionally…

BP: 95kg, OHP: 65kg, SQ: 130kg, DL: 155kg Background: I met my wife while finishing my advanced degree abroad in her home country, where she was also finishing hers. I had a golden ticket job waiting for me back home, so I immigrated her there, but it fell through. We had to live with my father for several months while I worked shit jobs waiting for something real. Finally, I got something in my…

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
