I didn't realise that came across as insulting, was just making an observation. Thanks for pointing it out

I said we are just as flawed from their perspective. Meaning women view us as being as flawed as we view them. You think men can love on a deeper level than women? Maybe that's true, I am sure there is no scientific way of knowing and you are liley basing that off faith in red pill literature and perhaps years of experience. My aim is to put these theories up to the test and see if they hold true, so I appreciate your help. My understanding is that women love opportunistically, but their level a…

From 16-22 I bummed around doing fuck all and not getting laid. Smoked way too much weed and took copious amounts of other substances to dull the crippling depression that kept me locked in a miserable existence. I was overweight, unhappy and a virgin with very few friends to confide in. Then something just clicked. I decided not to be a victim any longer. I enrolled in college and changed my diet. I stopped smoking and taking drugs. I exercised 5 times a week. I became more confident and indepe…

I think maybe you've got a good point. I reckon I came on too strong for sex and should have been patient with the second date in mind (which is what I actually wanted as well as sex).

Yeah, probably. Having an abundance mentality certainly must foster this sort of attitude

Breaking rapport, IOD, push, neg.. are all different flavours of the same concept: hinting at your disinterest in her so as to trigger her curiosity, hint at your superior value demonstrate that NGAF attitude that is so attractive and uncommon in her usual interactions with guys. I certainly did pepper all of this throughout the date. I had an attitude that she was the one to qualify herself to me. For instance she bites her nails. When I first picked up her hand and complimented her soft skin I…

My only feedback other than the hand link the guys suggested, is the thing you told her “write me when you want to hang out again” it frames it a bit as you are now waiting for her, where it should be her who is waiting for a chance to hangout with you, remember you are the price my dude I am beginning to think that I shouldn't have messaged her at all! That seems counter-intuitive to me but then again most of RP did at first. Lesson learned I guess. Thanks!

Yeah I can see your rationale. I'm beginning to think I probably should not have text her at all

Thanks. The date went really well but I knew my RP performance wasn't where it needs to be. Which is why I think I didn't get laid. Trying to understand this is part of learning from mistakes. One of the biggest realisations is that reading about RP and actually implementing it are two different things. For instance, you can read about dealing with shit tests and holding frame all you want, but it only makes sense once you have to deal with it on a hot date. Also, I can't imagine how badly I mus…

Is there an example of a push I could have done? We're not talking about breaking rapport here, right? You mean something like showing signs of disinterest?
/r/TheRedPill17/12/18 03:44 PM

Don't get too wrapped up in thinking you need first date success - pinning your manhood on a woman's selection is the worst possible failure of frame This is a good point. Although I'm not pinning my manhood on this girl's selection, I am probably over thinking it to try and see where I went 'wrong', which is probably an extension of what you're saying: failure of frame.

You think so? I thought this was displaying non-neediness. I don't need her. I'm not chasing her. I've left it up to her to get back in touch with me, whilst also simply saying I had a nice night as a courtesy. I've plated her and have set up a date with someone else. If she wants to fuck in the future and contacts me then I will be the one to decide if I want her or not. If there's a glaring problem with my logic then please correct me

I think you've picked up on 3 of my biggest mistakes pretty well here. My original plan was to change the venue but things seemed to be going really well where we were. I thought maybe changing venue to a busy bar around the busiest month of the year would have made things more difficult for me. Again, this is due to a slight lack of confidence. If I was more confident I would have not minded the new challenge. I was comfortable and in my element where I was. I should have linked arms or at leas…

Thank you, I understand you perfectly well. What you write makes sense and I think you are right. Our mutual friend just told me she broke up with her boyfriend of 6 years 3 months ago. Maybe it's more complicated because she isn't over him yet or he is still in the picture. Perhaps there is another "option A" entirely.

Hey man, I agree. I take a lot of it with critical thinking. I don't just subscribe to one single philosophy. Change is a slow and steady process. Like losing weight. A fat dude can lose 30kg in three months using strict diet and calorie restriction, but how sustainable is this? How healthy is this? And, what are the chances he will just revert back to his old eating habits? Better to change our habits for life and do it over so slow and steady timeframe. No point in over-compensation of our cur…

all i can say is be the prize, own it and become it without question. this stuff really works Thanks man, I will! And I'm really sorry about your shitty situation. That must be something that takes a long time to process and accept - but it seems like you have made the most of it. Also, you lost 45kg...holy shit man well done! That's a huge amount of weight to lose. You must be feeling fantastic

None of us really care that you might have had your life ruined by a women I know this. Why would I think otherwise? We just want the truth. Thankfully. You’re not better off now then you were yesterday You don't know this. You're just speculating. Just look at how you feel. How I feel can often have no correlation with the truth. Women use their emotions and feelings to make judgements, I use facts and logic. Come back when you have at least gotten laid. I am going to give you some credit here …

Damn, man, that's heavy. Even more reason to get a paternity test no matter what. Though I imagine this is vehemently opposed by all mothers for 'disrupting the family circle' or that it implies trust issues. Should just be standard with all births and then the man can for decide himself whether he wants to raise Chad jr or not.

That is insane. Gives a single mother the power to sniff out a beta provider, screw him over after a while of marriage, and take his money until her (not his) child is 18? On one hand I get why the court ruled as they did, looking at it from the child's point of view, but on the other it just seems like it could be used as a method to trap men into paying for someone else's child. But then maybe I'm being too cynical.

I think everyboy has the the seed for potential alpha traits in him. Some have more of it than others. And their upbringing and life experiences will then decide what comes to fruition. I agree 100% And for the sake of discussion I suspect our initial conditions (genetics, birthplace, parents) has a lesser impact upon our likelihood of displaying either alpha or beta traits than our life experiences affected by external influences (religious dogma, social pressures, societal perceptions of alpha…

I agree! I wonder if society will ever agree with us or go the other way and totally demonise us. More scientific studies on this subject needed - but it's a taboo subject for universities and not 'politically-correct', so it's unlikely to occur in rich quantities.

Thanks for the positive comment. It takes a lot of responsibility and maturity to be able to reflect rationally on our mistakes in life and accept that we should have done things differently - so that next time we do not make them mistakes again. Since becoming RP-aware I'm actually thankful for all of my failed relationships, since they were excellent lessons Exactly. I mean, it sucks at the time - all bad experiences suck - but looking back I am grateful that I was able to learn from such an e…

Yeah you're right - it's definitely illogical as it could be the exception to the rule that you have experienced. We have to try and look at it from a rational perspective and make up our conclusions based on experience of ourselves and others. I'm by no way saying all or even most women would act the way my ex did - but the factors that allowed it to happen would persist into my next relationships unless I made personal changes.

I don't see a problem with being a generally helpful and friendly person that does good deeds in the world. That's not against being rp surely. Helping others is a good way of helping yourself when you are hurting, actually. Doing voluntary work has been linked with improved health, for instance. However setting boundaries and limits to other people is definitely a must. I need to start doing this for myself too. It's about putting yourself and your own needs first and not taking shit.

Instead of finding that illusive alpha self, you may instead have to cultivate new characteristics and behaviours, much like growing a new organ or limb Thanks for the insight. The reason I originally said true alpha self was because I think without any conditioning, boys are natural "alpha" males in their own right. It's only through programming and the feminine imperative that "betas" are made. But then I could be wrong. It's the whole nature v nurture debate. I agree that alpha/beta is just a…

One danger of having a bad experience with a women then coming to trp is that it is possible to view it through a lens of resentment. I have read stories about people starting to resent women for their hypergamous natures and constant shit testing which effectively misses the point imo. I like your point of view - they are just girls at the end of the day. With some practice, and respect for myself and the truth, then I want to be able to enjoy connections with women and enjoy playing the game w…

Thanks, and I'm sorry you're going through a similar phase. It's a difficult journey but ultimately one which will be worth the struggle. It's a huge positive sign that you are realising the mistakes you made and can take responsibility for them. You are the master of your own life - nobody else should have the power to dictate your pain or joy in life. Likewise, there's no benefit to punishing yourself either. It's encouraging to me that people are getting this motivation from trp. Keep up the …

I see myself being a red pill provider one day, but as another poster said I will do it on my own terms from the rp mindset. So...no time soon then. You would not be nervous if you didn't subscribe to the woman matrix I understand this. But even when Neo unplugged from the Matrix in the movie he was disorientated, nervous, probably fearful of doing actions in the Matrix even though he knew it was a simulation. It takes courage and time/practice to totally rid yourself of these fears, right? If s…

There is no man that is either Alpha or Beta, but just a mindset that allows you to exhibit Alpha or Beta actions. I agree with this. That's why it's possible to learn the alpha mindset - just like learning any new skill. It takes research and consistent practice - especially if you need to unlearn the blue pill mindset to achieve that. An analogy I can draw upon is guitar playing (sorry if this is not relevant to you). I learned to play the guitar for 7 years with a pick. Then I realised that t…

Thanks for your contribution temerity18. Well, on one hand you have a valid point. I did indeed say that she was a narcissistic sociopathic whore, and she is also responsible for cheating on me, manipulating me, and acting in an overall shitty way. However, I'd like to direct your attention to the famous Emmanuel Kant quote: “…One who makes himself a worm cannot complain afterwards if people step on him…” Who is responsible for my pain and suffering? Was it a woman who used and manipulated me - …

Thanks TheGoblinTurkey. It's been a long process but in the end reading stoic philosophy and accepting the truth is what helped. I started lifting a year ago and have made good progress at the gym. I used to do a lot of martial arts training so was in good shape - now I'm bulkier but less mobile. Need to find a balance that works for me (cardio/flexibility v strength). I'm aiming to get down to 16% body fat and squat 150 kg, bench 90 kg, deadlift 200 kg, and press 65 kg - whilst also being able …

It was a mixture of Gut feeling (deep down I knew she was cheating on me - the signs looking back were so obvious) My brother working hard to convince me to get one Doing the most alpha thing I ever did up to that point: tell her that I demand that we get a DNA test done - otherwise I'll walk away. Number 3 was the hardest part. She needed to get blood taken as part of the process which meant I needed to confront her. The guilt she laid upon me was horrific - I almost caved in and apologised.

Exactly...the thought now of what could have been fills me with dread, though at the time I definitely wanted it. I want to have kids one day, but as you said on my terms and hopefully at a point in my life when I am actually ready for them financially and in maturity. If that doesn't happen then I'm cool with that too.

Thank you for saying this. A phrase I think is relevant here is "what you resist persists". Growth takes patience and persistence. This can be accomplished as long as the end goal is known or the reasons for doing so are clear. Like studying for an exam, going to the gym or taking driving lessons. The danger is getting disheartened or fear of failure - but once you have accepted the truth then there really should be no turning back.
