Why would they give you sex for resources when they can get it for free without having to put out just by leading on a beta sap? I think this explains it.

I get it that you don't like this question. Not sure why you are putting so much energy behind the dislike, especially since this is a RP sub. Thus they derive their own value from a complicated combination of the things they do, the way the look, they way men (and other women) respond to them, and their family situations. I agree with this part, and it is complicated with social validation ("respond to them") playing a big role.

I didn't mean to imply that they aren't. I'm wondering why not more often. If I had to guess, part of it is social shaming and maybe part is not being aware of the opportunity or picking up on cues.

a whole lot of responsibility was thrown at me Sorry for your loss. Losing your father is one of the big losses in life. TRP isn't an all encompassing philosophy IMHO. You may want to turn to traditionalism in a time like this, and embrace the responsibility you have to your family and the sadness you feel at this great loss. Edit: if your sadness seems severe in intensity or duration, there is nothing wrong with seeking professional help

Yes I know a pro team nutritionist. She does other clinical work to supplement her income. When you say "TON of misinformation" be careful, there is a lot of internet marketing and writing around nutrition. People get really into it. The RD side is rehashing the straightforward government backed advice. No one outside the internet and the Crossfit box cares about paelo, nutrient timing, etc. Most real clinicians consider it quacky. In 'murica most people just need to eat less of whatever they ca…

Make alternative plans. You will have work as an RD but fairly low paid. It's mostly women with eating disorders who go into the field. You will end up making meal plans for obese diabetics who won't change their habits. Every young person who works out and reads about diet and fitness online styles themselves a "nutritionist" and your chances of working with athletes is extremely low. Athletes mainly need to eat enough to fuel their activities. There isn't much more to it than that.

I'm not sure. /u/formermangina above says that "there is nothing one can do..." Maybe as /u/cover20 says, "watch different porn." If you don't want to reinforce a behavior, then don't keep doing it. That's like drinking some whiskey while musing about how you need to cut down on booze. Alternatively, keep your enjoyment of certain fetishes to your porn watching sessions rather than try to live them out in real life.

I don't have any engineering-specific advice for you. Be careful not to stay out of the workplace too long. Phone calls are better than emails or online apps. Use LinkedIn to make contact with people who might hire rather than the girls in HR. Ask for informational interviews ("can I come in and get your perspective on the industry and how to launch my career?"). If nothing pops up, even doing an unpaid internship creates a notch on your CV and is better than nothing. Good luck!

I know you're going to get a lot of "you go girl" responses and this will probably be downvoted. However, this is a perversion that you should attempt to overcome. You probably got into submission because (a) you are a beta and (b) because you have watched a lot of porn and needed more and more extreme situations. It is very unusual for a woman to be really, honestly turned on by dominating a man. Most women who are into this scene are fat or otherwise undesirable. Or, they are experimenting but…

Im just confused why I don't find enjoyment in the same things? It sounds like you're an introvert. Maybe that's why you don't like the club scene.

Check all the way back in my post history for some thoughts. I would probably look for something I could do for the government that leads to a pension.

What's your Master's in? You might go back to school to get a credential or something that leads to a credential.

It worked out well but too a long time to show results.

Not sure what you do. But here's the thing. You're fresh out of school and have no long term track record. You're probably worth less than you think. The company offers you employment and growth opportunities that are valuable to your future career. Sure, you want to be treated fairly, but IMO it would be a mistake to overly focus on the monetary compensation. Get your foot in the door and show that you are invaluable and monetary success will follow.

/r/TheRedPill29/07/15 11:51 PM

My guess is that marriage stats vary by social class. Most docs start middle class and end up upper-middle, thus having more successful marriages than average population. (Also good impulse control and future time orientation among physicians)

I also know a few attractive female doctors that are hitting the wall and beyond, unmarried with no children. The money is nice but it took them too many years to realize that they dedicated their youth to a once noble profession that society now scorns, and that men value youth and not professional success.

IMO it's worth it. Those fake it 'til you make it social skills translate into your future workplace as well. At college consider joining a fraternity if that's a thing at your school. Getting involved with anything social like student government, sports clubs, study abroad are all worth it. As for game shortcuts, nothing beats reading a couple of books. Off the top of my head: go out a lot, approach often, don't interview women when you talk to them, learn to keep a conversation going without a…

Going to college as a freshman? I wanted to comment on the first part of your post. Activity begets activity. The more you have on your plate, the more you'll get done. Enjoy the summer but be careful when you get back to school. I have known people who let inertia get the better of them, and they ended up wasting years at a time.

Add me to the commenters recommending calorie counting as your primary technique. The most important thing is consistency with diet. The next most important thing is consistency with exercise. What exercise you do matters less, although lifting will help you preserve lean mass as you lose weight.

Make a list of specialties by income. Cross out the ones you aren't competitive enough to enter. Cross out the ones you can't stand, have terrible lifestyle, or you don't want to go through the training. See what's left. If you are at the top of your class- derm, maybe radiology.

Give it some time if you're new to the job. Part of it is grass is greener, maybe there will be more opportunities after you get more engineering experience. Maybe go back for a MBA after a couple of years. If you're really into medicine, realize it's a long road. You need to complete any missing prerequisites, get through 4 years of medical school, and then 3-6 years of residency training before you're making good money and having any autonomy.

That's different. (We are all a little thirsty that's the male condition). It depends on how things are with her. I find that spending too much "prime time" (Fri/Sat) with a girl makes her expectations more than a plate.

Questions like this come from thirsty men. If you weren't thirsty, how would you respond? Maybe you would ignore. Maybe you would respond, it depends on the girl and your history. She's looking for attention and validation so don't get drawn in if you can't quickly convert to a meeting.

Assuming you are not fat, dress ok, have a car and job, and you don't live in your parent's basement. You need to have more opportunities to approach. Use Tinder and OKC.

Good video and worth the time to struggle through it. His accent plus modern ADHD makes it a bit difficult.

I don't think interview tips are the answer. If you can do something valuable, you will be in demand. I'm not in IT so I have no idea how to get ahead in that realm. From the outside what you do seems saturated and that the only way to add value is to be an excellent coder. My perceptions may be way off and others may be able to answer better.

I think reddit gets carried away with powerlifting. Yes strength work is useful, but from a TRP perspective aesthetics matter most. If you work out at all and aren't fat that puts you at least in the top 10-15% of Americans. I do PPLPPL myself (in my 40's) and keep my eye on the long term. Injuring my back or shoulder on a big lift isn't worth it. It's better to be a little smaller or weaker and be able to keep working out.

Fair question. Like everything else it depends on who's around you and who you are competing against. Also don't forget taxes, payroll taxes, healthcare, and retirement savings. High earners see about half of their theoretical salary. If you're a high prole, you probably have decent economic status over, say, 120k. If you're upper middle class, you're doing ok around $250k. It's difficult to compete for SMV based solely on salary unless you're clearly working class. There are well off (inheritan…

Just because "college" doesn't mean you aren't fat, introverted or socially awkward, make no effort, etc. But the abundance of women away from home for the first time looking to have the "college experience" makes it one of the best times for the average to above average man. The guys who say college were the best years for hooking up and getting laid amounted to …

To realistically change your level of income is extremely difficult once you are well into a career path. Probably the best advice to young men is to figure out how they can have a high status and lucrative career. Almost everyone can lift, have normal body weight, and look fit.

It's much more difficult when you get older if you have a serious career. You'll hear a lot of advice not to shit where you eat. That's because so many of us have done that and regretted it. When you work 60 hours, commute, and have to take care of yourself, there's not a lot of time left. If you're in a top tier city there is probably a decent going out culture.

All of this is top notch advice. Use your cellphone, get consent on video before sex. Don't be like one of these fake-rape victims.

You mean SMV peak? It depends. I don't completely agree with Rollo's chart. I think if you're an educated, professional man and take care of yourself you will probably peak in your late 30's.

You're both young, but law school probably keeps you a little bit tired and stressed out. That might be part of the problem. Ultimately the answer is for you to build more attraction. In hindsight, you probably shouldn't have confronted her about it. There's no way that didn't make you seem needy.

No doubt it happens but it isn't that common. The younger coeds are really young acting and while hot not sure I could stand them for long enough even if I could build attraction. 21+ can be gamed like any other woman but expect all the problems of young women (vapid personality). I would say that it gets more difficult to bang early twenties chicks after your mid-late thirties. If you are going for much younger chicks you must have a high SMV and keep your game tight.

Assuming a woman's SMV peaks in her early-mid 20's and you eventually will want a relationship with a woman aged 25-32, to have kids. You will be perceived best when you are 3-6 years older than the woman, if you are fit and successful. So that puts your peak late 20's up until late 30's.
