I'd show her an old, ugly picture of myself and then compliment how each of us worked to improve ourselves.

Truth be told, you should probably cut down to 150 lbs. With a proper diet and exercise, you could probably hit that goal in 7 to 8 months.

A woman being attracted to you does not equate with wanting to initiate a conversation. They may very well be attracted to you, but are hoping you make the first move. Now whether it is fair or not that men are expected to make the first move is an entirely different matter.

This is the dumbest thing I ever read. If I wanted "pleasurable nucleus accumbens" -- whatever that is -- I can save the money by staying home and going to /r/gentlemanboners. When I take a girl on a date, I am seeing if she is qualified to date me long term. I owe her nothing but my time and courtesy. Buying her $5 chai latte is of no consequence (I will never take a girl to a fancy dinner on the first 1-3 dates). There are a lot of pretty girls out there.. Beauty is common. So the fact that so…

Man this is thread is the perfect example of why both red and blue pills annoy the shit out of me. Trying to dissect the intent of a statement like this is completely pointless. Whether she was trying to be dominant, neg, insulting, motherly, flirty, or whatever other bullshit has been thrown around in this thread is irrelevant. The response to this is the same regardless of her intent (agree and amplify): "Yeah, could be true. I've never even seen boobies before [obvious sarcasm]" It's that sim…

It doesn't matter how good the shit tests are, every shit test can be defeated by simply not caring what she says. You can say the most mean spirited and insulting thing towards me and I would just laugh in your face because it means nothing. Shit tests are effective because it weeds out men who have no confidence, are overly sensitive, and care too much about what others think of them.

The advice described is not bad in and of itself, but it is completely unhelpful to a beta male who is trying to become successful with women. It's more helpful to someone who has become self-actualized...But if someone is self-actualized they already know the advice internally so the point is moot Here's why the advice is unhelpful to a beta: Be yourself -- a beta already thinks they are being themselves. They are generally shy, quiet people, who just want everyone else to like them. They're af…

Hmm, here's a few I think. Be feminine Work hard on maintaining a feminine and attractive physique Be a great caretaker (mother/girlfriend/etc) Don't nag / give your SO space when he needs it Support your SO in public / disagree with him only in private Don't emasculate your SO

I don't think anyone says there aren't exceptions to the rule. Of course there are women out there who prefer beta men. If an RP man thinks his reality is the way it is 100% of the time, that'd be foolish. In my experience it's 80/20. Where 80% of the women I meet prefer a man who with those leadership qualities that RP promotes. Then there's that 20% where the women prefer the men be more submissive. And that's totally okay. I'm not even saying that's bad. If that's what works well for them, by…

You don't know anything about me. As if the fact that I posted my message means I treat people like objects. Like I said, you want it to be true so badly so it affirms your beliefs. Truth is I don't treat them like objects. I don't make them insecure artificially. Regarding the "annoyance" part, that is strange because I don't think I would ever get into a relationship with a girl I find annoying. Would you? I live a great life and I love people. All people. I have great friends, men and women a…

The motives depend on the individual. Anyone who comes to these subs can take what they find valuable apply it to their goals. What those goals are depend on the man. Some just want to get laid, some want to understand women better, some want to understand themselves better. Many don't want to let other people walk all over them and to take control of their own lives -- to set healthy boundaries with women and their relationships. But for most, I believe, it's about understanding the reality tha…

Standard ignore or agree/amplify is best with shit-tests. So you should have either A) Just ignored her completely when she made that statement. Continue doing what you're doing as if she never said anything. B) Agree and amplify, "Yeah you're totally right. I've never met a girl before in my life. What are girls like?" a drawn out "wowww", while strange is still a hell of a lot better than "oh you need someone to take you home?" ...no don't say that.

I've seen these things mentioned outside of TRP. Well it's certainly not popular because my first exposure to this advice wasn't until I turned 23 when it occurred to me that I should re-discover my masculinity. What does this mean? Honestly, this seems like it would be that "context" I was referring to...that you can't take the common sense without the context that TRP puts it in, which is usually a skewed understanding of women. Too big for a single thread. But I'll concede that there are non-…

I can't speak for OP. I don't care much for the actual TRP community itself -- I find many of them bitter and resentful, but I read it every day because it is one of the very few places a man can go that is mostly void of feminist interests. Besides the basic self improvement such as lifting, confidence, being social, etc, there are other very important points that are frequently discussed that you actually won't find beyond TRP, similar subs, and choice books. Holding frame no matter what Putti…

Yes exactly. I went on my own self improvement journey and after a year of hard work, my world view shifted (this is all before red pill existed) and I came to many of the same conclusions about social and gender dynamics that red pill spouts now. So, really, I had to be open minded to have such a shift in the first place. Having said that, I don't really identify with the redpill community itself because there's a lot of bitterness over there and people who take themselves way too seriously.

Great post. I don't understand Dread Game because if you are an awesome, super social, self-assured, and confident man, this so-called "dread-game" is already happening because your SO knows you have options already. If you have to contrive a fear of loss in her unnaturally, then you're not really in top form as a man anyway.

When I was first starting out a couple years back, I put a lot of stock into them. I was socially clueless when it came to women so I had no frame of reference to begin with. The field reports gave me some highlights on what to expect so I took them seriously. After three years and my life becoming completely different, all the knowledge I have now is based on my own experiences. I have no need to read other people's field reports and I don't put much, if any, stock in them at all now. A lot of …

It's an interesting question. When I was more of a blue pill, beta type of guy who believed that I needed to hold on to any chance I could get with an attractive girl, it probably wouldn't have mattered what the girl did. She is hot and I am lucky to have her and I will tolerate her bad behavior, mood swings, and cater to her every need anyway. I think this is the common the case. Since becoming a self-assured, self-aware, and very confident man, I have a backbone. A girl's attractiveness level …

So I talk to a girl for 20 minutes, get her number, ask her out on a date, and now I have to be selfless, go out of my way, show empathy, and "making sure she succeeds" before I even really get to know her? No. In fact, I would say this is kind of creepy. I have to echo all the other comments in this thread in that this is a bad approach for girls you meet. A girl you are in a relationship with? Maybe then.

The best advice I ever got about kissing is this. Match whatever they are doing. If they are crazy passionate and eat your face, you eat their face. If they are soft and reserved, you be soft and reserved. Also, when you first go for it -- kiss one lip at a time. That's it, really.

You got it backwards. If you are constantly wondering "why are these girls attracted to me?" or "what makes me attractive to them?" then you consider your self-worth based on what other people think of you. This translates to low confidence when you're out socializing. Instead, your thought patterns should resemble, "I know I'm awesome. I know I'm confident. It is obvious that these girls are attracted to me. How could they not be?" In this case, you are a rock in who you are and complements (or…

A few things I have learned over time that have worked for me. Again, for me. Can't speak for everyone here. Never criticize a person's taste in music. Some people genuinely take offense if you poke fun at their music. Tease her, yes. Offend her, no. And I have come to learn that teasing about music is off limits. I was never a big fan of the "you and I would never work" line. It tells her that the prospect of a relationship has been on your mind and I feel like this does more harm than good. Li…

I am on a workout and health binge, so I don't drink alcohol at all. I find that many girls are actually impressed with the fact that I don't drink and it leads to great conversation. Especially when I'm out having a great time, dancing, and doing a whole bunch of things that other people "need alcohol" in order to do. I've been preaching the "go out sober" thing for like 6 months now, but people can't understand it. The benefits are enormous.

You got it all backwards. OP is actually supposed to beg the girl to come over? That's really embarrassing and emasculating. In this situation, the girl is the one playing games and OP is the one that shut down the game playing.

It's like you didn't read my post at all. Korbidon is completely right here. The only one stopping you is your mentality. You have a failure and self-pity mentality instead of a giving 0 fucks mentality.

The post is super long, but that's because I really want to illustrate the change in mindset that I had over the course of the year. Going from super depressed and lonely Forever Alone, to a very confident and social man. I knock seddit a little bit in the middle of the story, but this place was different in late 2011. I think the mods here have made a concerted effort to direct content towards inner game which I am a strong proponent of.

We've had that over at /r/faimprovement for a while now. Here's a direct link to the program I created. It's been refined and made better over the last 6 months based on the feedback I've received. I'm always looking for more feedback, suggestions, and guest bloggers though. In 2 weeks I'm going to write a post about how I completely changed my life in 1 year.

No, it isn't. This line of thinking is just going to hold you back and cause self-doubt. You are a man and kissing a woman is a completely normal thing to do. By making it more than it is, you are doing yourself a disservice.

This is the first time I've ever heard in my life that the term "female" is now politically incorrect. Seriously? I use the term "male" just as often, but that's completely ok? What has happened to this world?

In my experience, there is no right way to answer these questions. So I always turn these questions around on them with a question of my own. "Why do you ask?" It can help reveal their true motives for asking. Here are other examples.

Have you tried non-direct openers? There's various ways of starting conversations. I would start fresh from beginning again. Just start small, asking for directions. Then start approaching women asking them for suggestions for restaurants. Just engage in conversation and see where it goes.

No one is going to give you an adequate answer to this question in a Reddit reply. Honestly, you need to spend the next six months of your life working on yourself, reading a dozen books, and going out and approach women. No one can hold your hand and tell you what to do every step of the way.

Exactly. OP should be asking girls out -- not trying to find ones that are interested in him. Some girls can get attracted to a guy who simply have the courage and confidence to ask them out in the first place.

I have some more thoughts I want to share. The issue for people in /r/foreveralone isn't that they "made up their minds about PUA". Deep down they know that this works and works for good reason. The issue is that they are comfortable. Yes, you will see dozens of posts a day in /r/foreveralone about how depressed these people are, but the key is that they are so comfortable in their depression, that actively changing and becoming a better, more socialized individual, is too scary for them.

I created /r/faimprovement 3 months ago. There's about 360 subscribers and it's for FAs who no longer want to be FA. I've charted my progress of the last 6 months of my life in that subreddit and how far I've come from starting with nothing to now having a girlfriend. There will obviously be some people who disagree with some of the material I've posted there, and that's fine. But I've written everything from an FA point of view because I used to be one.

If you need a woman's approval to feel good about yourself, rejection hurts. If you derive your happiness from within, rejection doesn't hurt. Couldn't have said it better myself.

I, too, had trouble transitioning from my opener to a regular conversation. Then I realized that it's not rocket science. If I opened two girls I just say, "So how do you two know each other?" ...Their responses are usually enough to start a number of threads to continue the conversation for a while until I can isolate the one I'm interested in.

You could get MonoTouch and program it in C# and use standard .NET libraries. Then most, if not all the code would be re-usable for iPhone and Android. You have to buy a license though. Having said that, for something like this, a mobile web app would be more convenient.

Yeah, I felt the same way when I started reading all of this stuff a couple months back. The information can be overwhelming - and it's kind of a culture shock in a way. I used to be FA, so I created /r/faimprovement that kind of simplifies and organizes everything so that it is easier to absorb. I'm not saying my way is the right way at all, but it's definitely helpful for those just starting out. If anything, it helps people get motivated to find their own path which is the most important aspe…

Ah then, yes. Eye contact + smile = big win. As a side note for women in general, I think a lot of women can benefit from inner game. I feel like the default thought process for women if they have strong eye contact and smile and the guy doesn't approach is that it is a fault of their appearance. When in reality, it can be any arbitrary reason -- mostly a fault on the guy's fear of approach.

I think it just takes time and getting used to it..Just being more aware of it. I find myself saying reaction seeking things sometimes right after I say them and I think to myself, "shit, I wish I could take that back. stop doing that damn it!" But it's happening less and less as the weeks go by. One thing that did help me, was that I noticed a pattern of when I would most frequently use reaction seeking communication -- it's mostly when I feel like I need to say something to keep the conversati…

I was at a club last weekend and told a girl she danced like Elaine Benes from Seinfeld. I made the 'little kicks' gesture. I had a big grin and was obvious I was joking. She was actually an excellent dancer and she knew it...She smiled, laughed, gave me a playful tap on the shoulder, and negged me right back. At the end of the night I got a k-close. There's a fine line between insulting someone and playful teasing. If you're going to neg, then you have to do it right.
