Ugly truth. I'm 6ft3, told to be really intelligent, witty, charming. I've never experienced a girl being even remotely interested in me. Ever. Why? Because I am ugly as fuck. A pretty face is everything. "Game" is just not fucking it it up after she decided that she wants you. I am now looking into plastic surgery.

This might sound laughable, but I went to a club for the first time in years (I'm 24). I went solo because I still have literally no friends whatsoever. I tried to get a feel for the place and I was simply enjoying myself, I picked up some hints of female attention (girls kept eye contact for longer than necessary, moved closer to me on the (almost empty) dancefloor), but since I have literally no clue on what to say to girls who might be interested nothing came of these situations. Still, baby …

It's the worst thing and the only initial mistake I made when finding (and interpreting) the red pill. You need to go after girls, or more specifically, after the situation that attracts girls.

I don't enjoy it - I just don't care. There is zero incentive for me to fight for this society (by protecting "our women" or reproducing). And by the way, there is no "us". There is you, there is me and there are all the others.

Oh yeah, that is totally gonna happen these days - ugly motherfucker beats up guy with model looks and fucks the girl afterwards. Forget about that. If you're ugly and there is someone who is better looking (read, taller with a prettier face) you will most likely go nowhere with a girl.

I do know a thing or two about the (management/technology) consulting industry and trust me, it's the same damn problem. Mostly neckbeards and nerds (because you really need to be in the top 5% of what you do), and to make it worse you spend upwards of 70 hours a week on the job. The thing is, as long as there is no way to explain what you do in laymen terms you will never appeal to girls.

I am at the same point in my life. Just got my bachelors degree in mech. engineering. Currently contemplating studying law for the same reasons you just laid out. It's crazy. I like engineering, I'm rather good at it (without putting much work into my studies) but seeing the impression that an engineering job makes on a women makes me want to vomit. If I could go back 3 years in time I'd never chose engineering again.

A core reason why they have abundant access is that their value systems de-prioritize vagina. IDGAF is key. No. They do prioritize vagina (not in a single vagina but girls in general) over other things (hence their lifestyle choices) which means in the end that they don't have to care as much about a single girl. They are fully aware of the fact that their lifestyle (meaning, job, hobbies, location where they live etc.) helps them massively in getting girls, and some of them are even well aware …

It's not about fucking as many bitches as possible, it's about fulfilling a basic need. I am a 23 year old virgin and to me not fucking any women feels like being denied to pee. I don't know, maybe you are different, but I'd probably need to cut off my balls to feel this indifferent to women. But if you can handle your urges - more power to you.

The thing is - I don't care for the money. In fact there is a chance I could make the same amount of cash in the future - but I don't think I'll ever be able to attract girls the way he does. A handsome face (where talking 1 in 100 or better) commands so much power of pussy. There is nothing that can ever come close to that. That's whats making me angry.

Thank you for your answer. As I said I am not really injured (at least not that I could tell) but I definitely feel unconformable with the idea of squatting and deadlifting heavy weights. Nonetheless, I will definitely treat my back with more care. The more I read all the answers the more I feel like I need a specialist to look at my problem - I just need to find someone who understands the fact that I eventually need to lift (heavy).

Thanks for your input - I might get a specialist look at it. In fact I believe that I could live without deadlifting but squatting is a necessity.

A woman left to her own devices will mostly make poor decisions on just about every important matter. She needs guidance by a domineering protective possessive man. If this domineering man just sleeps with her and leaves, that only feeds the slut cycle. That gives her the okay signal for being a slut. What do I gain from offering "guidance"? There is literally nothing that society or women have ever given me, why should I offer something for free?

They get naked because of your looks (and make no mistake, the tone of your voice is just a natural extension of your looks).

Vagina is voice activated, not coin operated, and not as visual as we are. "Gravity does not exist" These sentences carry about the same amount of truth for any young male in western society. Make no mistakes, looks are just about everything, and height is vastly overrated when it comes to sexual attraction(although it probably carries some importance when dealing with other men).

Well, I have yet to see "game" make a real difference in an male/female encounter. I am 23 and every single interaction between males and females that I witnessed was based on the fact that the girl admired the mans looks (sometimes status makes a difference too, but that is rare). If she does not like your looks you won't get into her p*ssy by "gaming" her.

I am afraid that I am serious. Take a look around, there are a lot of people who think "game" is more important than looks. Let me state this: You get the girl by looking good (enough). "Game" is just not fucking it up after she decided that she'd fuck you (which happens within the first seconds of the encounter). And by the way, the toughest pill to swallow is the fact that there is indeed very little that you can change about how you look. It is mostly face (bone structure, skin quality, hair …

Simply for hair loss (premature balding is the worst thing that can happen to ones smv in my opinion). Given the fact that I am balding at 23 I won't touch any steroids. Been on it for 6 months, works quite well, I've already had slight regrowth.

I say it again and again, lifting and finasteride are my personal red pill. I don't believe in game, I've never seen game change the outcome of an male/female encounter. Women decide within split seconds if they want you (mostly based on looks, status and money plays a small role). Good post, op. However I would refrain from getting tattoos because to some they are a turn-off. The other things will always increase your attractiveness.
/r/TheRedPill19/06/16 06:20 PM

I am sorry but I still do not get your point. I have yet to see a study that shows how DHT is needed in adult males. As is said in the op it drives the development of male traits (penile growth, beard and so on) but it seems that DHT does not have any function in fully developed men (apart from causing male pattern baldness and prostate hyperplasia). You might be right regarding the psychological effects, as 5-aR does indeed play a role in the synthesis of certain neurosteroids.
/r/TheRedPill11/06/16 09:55 PM

it's definitely going to do something to you. This is a major change in your body. How do you reach this conclusion? I am really interested. All the data I presented suggest the opposite. It slightly alters your hormone levels (and taking into account other androgens it is in fact a minor change). What you are gonna "feel" is more hair on your head. Anything beyond that is very unlikely to happen.
/r/TheRedPill11/06/16 06:29 PM

If you turn of your 5-aR and you get less T->DHT turnover then you have significantly affected your sexual hormone profile, and you're certainly going to feel this in some way. Well, most people don't as I pointed out in the op.

The amount of hair that can be transplanted is limited because they actually take your own hair from the back of your head (which is not susceptible to fall out due to dihydrotestosterone) and move it to the bald part of your head (meaning, the front and top of your scalp), so there is surprisingly little hair that can be transplanted without you looking like an idiot because you would lose too much thickness in the "donor area".

Short note regarding your edit 3: A hair transplant will require propecia/finasteride, because you will continue to lose hair after the hairs from the back of your head have been transplanted. Any reputable hair transplant surgeon will require you to get on finasteride for at least 6 months prior to any surgery to make sure that your hair loss has stopped and that you can tolerate the drug. A hair transplant without finasteride is an easy way to go from "balding" to "disfigured" because you will…

It is a necessity, because the rest of your hair on top of your head (which is susceptible to damage from DHT) will continue to fall out. A hair transplant without propecia/finasteride is a sure way to go from "the balding guy" to "the disfigured guy" as your hairline continues to recede behind the new grown transplanted hair. Any reputable hair transplant surgeon will get their patients on finasteride 2 years prior to any surgery to make sure that their hair status has stabilized and that they …

I feel fine on the drug and finasteride is improving my quality of life. YMMV. Regarding your points: gynecomastia or mastalgia occurred in 0.4 percent of men taking finasteride While I do acknowledge the risk of gyno it is obviously quite rare.

Well again I am not an expert but cutting the pills should have no impact other than a different dosage (which is why you cut the pills in the first place). I experimented with a number of pill cutters, razors and knifes to cut proscar pills and I was not satisfied because of the chore it was to cut the pills. I travel a lot and it was just to inconvenient to cut the pills every morning and to store the tiny pieces. You will most likely be fine, but at around 0.5mg per day you are right on the e…

I am using 1mg finasteride tablets (propecia) just for the sake of convenience. There are a lot of people who have success with cutting proscar pills into quarters and taking one of these quarters (1,25mg) every day. I am not a doctor, but 0,5mg is also quite effective. However, I would not try to cut a pill in more than four parts, because in that case as you said the pieces would be very tiny. The cutting itself should not impact effectiveness.

Yes, I do use rogaine, although I believe that finasteride is doing most of the work in my case. Yes, try rogaine in the mean time. Prevention is the name of the game when it comes to treating hair loss. Good on you to make an appointment with your doctor (is he a GP or a Dermatologist? GP's sometimes refrain from prescribing finasteride), one month is not going to hurt you much in the grand scheme of things, I just wanted to make it clear that no one should put the decision on hold in general.
/r/TheRedPill15/03/16 03:29 PM

My take on finasteride is this: Make your decision right now. If you do not want to take it, fine. However, if you decide to hop on finasteride in two years you will regret every single day you wasted before. I regret not having used finasteride earlier, just because I was totally unaware that I lost hair and that my hairline receded.

I agree with you that in case you are noticeably balding you should shave your head or buzz your hair really short. However, if you are a) very young (say, early 20's) and b) only in the beginning stages of hair loss I strongly suggest looking into finasteride. I wrote a (controversial) post about 3 months ago here on /TheRedPill when I started finasteride and to me it is a miracle drug. I have already gained hair back and I have not experienced any side effects. I might add pictures of my hair …

Yeah, Minoxidil is a great addition, but I feel that in most cases it is not sufficient to keep androgenetic alopecia at bay.

I felt depressed because I messed up in uni and how I feel hopeless as a virgin at 22 when my biggest problems are my receding hairline and my utter lack of discipline. You're an idol. I will get up tomorrow thinking about you and this post and kick myself because I know that there is guy somewhere on this planet w…

Thank you for the clarification. I have yet to see the movie, but I see your point. Obviously, The Red Pill offers truth and not a solution in the sense of a script for a good life. Nevertheless, in light of these posts I sometimes feel that the self-improvement content denies that there is indeed a much simpler, primitive and brute way to achieve success in the smp.

Yes, I know that there are incentives to be a better engineer/doctor/it-guy/any other profession, you make more money, you have more social status and so on which eventually increases your leverage on the sexual market. This is the strategy of TRP, and it is a nice strategy and tactical advice is plentiful and of great quality in here. Now, …

Well there are studies that show how some guys can regrow hair and that they will be able to keep their results for up to ten years (meaning, even after ten years these guys are above their baseline in terms of hair). So if you have mild hair loss and still get on finasteride very early you will have very good hair for a long time. It is so important to start early enough, but if you never had model-like hair to beginn with (widow peaks) you are right, finasteride will not get you model tier hai…

You are full of sh*t. As a young, conservative german who is reasonably agitated about the latest events I tell you one thing: No matter what happens here, Hitler never wanted to protect Germany. He was the crazy product of a skewed vision and a sourrounding (post ww1-Germany) that unfortunately supported him. His "vision" brought pain and agony over the German people. Yes, I am worried, but supporting Hitlers views is about as wrong as it gets. He was NOT supporting Germany.

Something interesting for you: A big german television station made a survey the last two days and they found out that around 60% feel that as a result of the refugees there will be more crimes in Germany. And 40% of the people stated that after the Cologne events their perception of refugees changed for the worse. Who knows, maybe there will be a backlash.

I don't feel like I am in a position to judge on american gun laws and your habits regarding arms, but I am not sure if this would help the cause. And you probably can't imagine the amount of shit you would have to take if you were to seriously arm yourself. Liking guns in Germany puts you right next to murderers. There is just no history regarding arms for the general population. If you would ask me I could not even tell you where to learn to shoot and operate guns.

That is a good question. I (unfortunately) have to say that I do not see any reaction like in Sweden or Denmark (while you're at it, you might want to take a look at the recent events in Poland as well) happening in Germany soon. There are multiple reasons for that, but it boils down to the fact that conservative politics are viewed with extreme caution / aversion in Germany due to our history.

I can't stress enough how important this article from Milo Yiannopoulos is. His assessment of the sexual market place and especially the trend you mentioned hit me like a freight train. I think this 2nd part should be on the sidebar. To me it is a much more concise version of what The confession of an incel says, because it shows the process of how the dating scene changed and why old-fashioned beta behavior leads to unhappiness. It shows that the Red Pill would have been obsolete 80 years ago. …

The problem with MGTOW is that it caters to male hamstering. Beta males who are too lazy to improve or who feel hopeless or who are just terrified of rejection may try to convince themselves they don't really want to be in a relationship, or that women and relationships are so terrible it's just not worth it. Absolutely right. Being genuinely content as a MGTOW requires that you have been alpha before, or at least some romantic/sexual involvement with women. Anything else is indeed hamstering.

Yeah, there are guys that can surely rock a buzzed/shaven head. Thats why I recommend buzzing it down at least once when you are on finasteride to get a feel for how you will look.

That's exactly my point - we recommend lifting over and over and over, and then I make a proposition how to fix something else and people are all over the place?

I am aware of said study regarding the penile tissue change in rats, but as far as I know it only affected the foreskin and since I am circumcised I do not think this will affect me. And I do not consider taking finasteride for 20 years, I will most likely drop the drug once I am about 28-30. But I cannot deal with being bald at 24.

I am around a NW3 on the norwood scale.

Finasteride has been used to fight hair loss since mid 90's if I recall correctly, and even longer for benign prostate hypertrophy. I am sorry for you, dude.

Allright, I just feel it is kind of careless to tell people to just shave it off when there are legit ways of treating hair loss in case you're not completely bald yet. However, I agree on your point that everyone who is balding should acknowledge that fact and act accordingly(either with medication or with an appropriate haircut or shaving/buzzing it short).

As you mentioned, there are guys that can pull of a bald look, I am probably not one of them.

To be honest I am not even sure about my smv (virgin, 22, slightly above 6'3", 190 pounds, around 18% body fat (ex skinny), as I mentioned slightly balding and a very "plain" face, no special skills, hobbies or connections that would add to my smv).
