| 1 | Took TRP and now I'm lost.I struggle with this. I don't have a clearly defined mission that wakes me up early and puts me to bed late. I feel like I've lost the feeling of excitement. | /r/askTRP | 26/01/18 04:51 AM |
| 1 | Any good books on establishing a routine to help get up in the morning, have a shave, go to the gym, go to bed in time ect.. Every night i say tomorrow will be the day, but then I'm just a lazy cunt again. Sometimes i do it, sometimes i don't.You don't need a book to stop being a lazy cunt. Its more about how much you value the things you want. Start small, one thing at a time. Makes it easier to maintain the habit. Once you've established that habit, move onto the next thing. Alternatively, go monk mode and dedicate your life to revolve around those habits religiously for the next 3 months until its a solid enough routine that you can add more stuff. This is basically what I did and now I have solid habit of exercising. | /r/askTRP | 23/01/18 03:39 PM |
| 1 | Where did i fuck up?I tried escalating but she was not receptive. There was a distance between us on the couch during the entire show. This was what confused me in general, since she did come over. All the other women I've been with have shown way more receptiveness, giving me the confidence to escalate further. Real talk, I know I should've pushed more the first few dates. Part of it was me being a pussy, which I needed a reminder of given how soft I've been the last few months. I didn't feel the urge to escalate.… | /r/askTRP | 23/01/18 07:25 AM |
| 1 | Where did i fuck up?Your right, idk why I didn't escalate sooner. Just didn't feel right. I wasn't really attracted to her, I just wanted some pussy. A combination of not being attracted, being a pussy for not closing sooner, and forgetting RP principles is why I failed. Lesson learned. | /r/askTRP | 23/01/18 06:44 AM |

| 1 | Should I live alone or with a roommate?thin walls and small living space are going to be even more of a problem if you get a space of your own, no? I can literally hear what my roommate is doing in their room. Like going on the bed, rolling in their chair, talking on the phone, etc. I don't think I'd have these same issues. you shouldn't spend more than 25-30% of your income on rent is the standard rule I think.

| 2 | I'm low value but I want to changeKnow 2 things. It takes time. You will change. Dedicate yourself to working out, and self-improvement. Figure out how to come to terms with your past. Whether that involves therapy or not is your call. It's important to be ok with how your life has been so that you can move on. From there, the world is yours for the taking. Trust me, I've been in your shoes. Once I was ok with my past, it was much easier to focus on self-improvement. | /r/askTRP | 03/11/17 06:05 AM |
| 1 | Balancing Lifting and Going OutBe honest. How committed have you been on that schedule? It seems too optimistic. You need time to relax. I remember creating sheets similar to this. The most enjoyable part was creating it. I'd follow it for a bit but inevitably stop because of lots of unaccounted variables during college life. Nearly burned out too. I've reflected on it enough to realize I didn't balance out my courses and struggled unnecessarily, which really hurt my mental state.

| 1 | Observations of betas from a beer fest outingThank-you for such a detailed analysis. Successful guys like you are why I read this sub. To learn. Your willingness to provide advice to the antagonists of this story speaks on your internalization of the concepts of TRP. I mean, I can certainly read it and try to apply it into my life. But there's no way I'm at the level of indifference you are, yet. Also read the comments about how you might have put too much thought and effort. How your wife is shit testing you and thinks her SMV is higher. … | /r/TheRedPill | 25/10/17 07:04 AM |

| 3 | Overthinking: The Beta Male Trait That Is Holding You BackThanks for the reminder. I'm finding myself overthinking recently. Some negativity is residing in me because I see many people with girls, while I'm struggling to set up dates on tinder. I feel uncomfortable approaching, even though I'm in many situations where I should approach. I rationalize that she isn't interested, or I'll make the dance awkward, or I don't look good enough, am not tall enough, not masculine enough. I need to ACT, and then learn from the interaction. | /r/TheRedPill | 13/08/17 10:28 PM |

| 1 | Dancing well at clubsGood point. Let me clarify. I'm there to get better at dancing and have fun. I feel like the better at dancing I get, the more likely women around me will want to dance with me. This is the clear indicator that my dancing skills are good and I can remain confident in that aspect. Does this seem like a valid statement? I'm still new to the club scene so I could be wrong. When I'm in the streets outside for a break, that could be my chance to approach. I find it difficult though since most are wit… | /r/askTRP | 27/06/17 07:19 AM |

I regularly meet new people and am always doing shit on the weekends now. If you can, move somewhere with a large outdoors scene (west coast cities).

It was so worth it because I reflected on whether the rejection was warranted or not (it was). Breaking it down rationally, I learned greatly from that ONE experience. Only because I went out there. I also felt social acceptance to certain people who saw value in me for other reasons (my profession and street smarts). I'm trying to figure out what I bri… | /r/TheRedPill | 22/05/17 07:41 AM |

But if you're not "older," try twitter and instagram. I'm mid 20s, so not "older". Twitter seems like a public diary, which I don't really understand. Idk how instagram is used by people.

How can I get over the approach anxiety?Find an opener you like and drop it on some fat old hags you work with or the barista at starbucks just for feeling it out and then get really comfortable using it on people in general. Very good. I think I'll do this. Basically, have a set of openers, and test them out on various people in public settings. Do you have any suggestions? | /r/askTRP | 29/04/17 07:05 PM |
| 2 | Whenever I decide to approach, I change my mind moments before the approach. How can I get over the approach anxiety?This helps. I've always had the tendency to overthink. My ego doesn't want to take the blow of rejection. As I read this, I realized she was trying to get my attention indirectly. In the same way I should get her attention by being direct.

I'm putting myself in a lot of public situations these days. Sometimes there's a girl sitting beside me or directly across me. Today, I thought the girl might be giving IOI, but wasn't too sure. I want to start a conversation, but just don't know how to lead it. I'm scared of coming across as awkward, which will lead to a rejection from her. Then other people will witness it and amplify the rejection. Why can't I just get over this insecurity? | /r/askTRP | 27/04/17 09:45 PM |

| 4 | PodcastsFor a non-serious podcast, The Brilliant Idiots is pretty good. It has Charlamagne Tha God and Andrew Shultz. I listen to it for the laughs mostly, since they are funny dudes. They joke around about issues and have perspectives that I feel resonate with TRP. Andrew is definitely RP-aware given most of his stances on topics. Charlamagne probably is too, but much better at concealing it. If you're looking for a good laugh and the perspective of a few people give them a listen. | /r/TheRedPill | 31/03/17 06:23 PM |

| 1 | Software engineersYou provide a good analogy. From reading a few threads, I became more concerned with who I'd become if I wasn't actively balancing myself out.

| 1 | Software engineersWell, its two-fold. TRP is about learning the true nature of reality with a focus on women and developing a strategy to get past it. Engineering and IT jobs provide less outlets for social development compared to a bartender. Social development is how you speak, and the circle you are around. Bartenders will have a higher probability of being around females they can plate, whereas Engineers aren't. So, is another job worth it and most effective for your social development? Or are hobbies enough?… | /r/askTRP | 20/03/17 03:03 PM |
| 1 | Software engineersI'm saying the tendency to be isolated makes this career much harder for developing social skills, which will make it harder to game women. A customer service role (bartender, barista) puts you in a position to learn how to deal with people. You get to practice it every day for long periods of time. Another point is that guys in these professions are less likely to learn about the true tendencies of women. If they are lucky enough to read TRP, they'll experience it vicariously which may or may n… | /r/askTRP | 20/03/17 02:46 PM |

I think that I'm an asshole since it is my responsibility to do this. That's been my line of thinking for a long time now. Wouldn't society say that it is selfish behavior to not help out a sibling without expecting anything in return? I find myself in a bind. Am I wrong for essentially not being a doormat? Or am I supposed to be one for family? | /r/askTRP | 05/03/17 04:37 PM |
| 1 | How do you deal with a build up of resentment?You imagine others will do particular things and are disappointed. You have unrealistic expectations, and the gap between these and what actually happens is the measure of disappointment. It's likely this leads you to be judgemental of others and have literal tolerance for their perceived short comings. Quite possibly.

Study hard, workout hard. Don't compromise your physical because of school though. This is something I would do over in school.

It sucks to not have a fulfilling social life. But, … | /r/askTRP | 26/02/17 01:29 PM |
| 1 | Keto + lifting + high deficit?Dude, do 1 thing and do it well. Go hard with keto and sustain a caloric deficit. Your energy levels will decrease until your body is used to the diet chance. You won't be able to make significant gains in a deficit though which is ok. Cut, lift cycles are a thing for a reason. Lose the weight, so that by summer time you can show off that new body. Prioritize cardio over weight lifting. What you can do in the meantime is learn about different lifting programs, different exercises. You can practi… | /r/askTRP | 26/02/17 01:24 PM |
| 1 | How to quit video games and work on the life I want to have?The busier I became, the less time I had, the less time I had for wasting. Add the fact that most games aren't very stimulating. I found lifting, exercise and self-improvement to be the core of what I do. When I'm not doing something that contributes to improvement, the stress of wasting time builds up. | /r/askTRP | 23/02/17 07:40 PM |
| 2 | Starting lifting now or wait?I'm doing the same thing but cutting to ~12% before bulking. Essentially I want those sexy visible abs. To each his own, but imo abs triumph mass. You can post that shirtless selfie whenever, and be in the top 10% on a beach. There are exceptions, like if your arms are twigs. Cutting is definitely harder than bulking since you need to be mindful every time you eat and plan ahead. I figure that doing the harder task first will help me develop those skills to successfully cut again when I need to.… | /r/askTRP | 20/02/17 06:24 AM |
| 1 | 22 and I grew up without a positive male role model. In many ways, I'm like a woman. How do I learn to fix this?Get a gym membership, start lifting and running. This will be your pillar. You will feel much better about yourself. These positive emotions, these chemicals flowing in your body will give you a much better outlook on life. It is fundamental, which is why TRP advocates it so damn much. No money? What is your current financial situation? Are you going to school? Do you have a degree? | /r/askTRP | 15/02/17 04:30 AM |
| 1 | Motivation for runningFor me, it's about habits, goals, and progress. Habits make it easier to achieve that goal. The DESIRE to achieve a goal (having a 6 pack) pushes me further. The progress I see gives me positive reinforcement to continue on. Instinctively, we want to be comfortable. All the conveniences such we have in society are a result of this. A habit will help make something less uncomfortable to do. You adapt to the situation a habit presents. I struggled so long to consistently go to the gym. Part of it … | /r/askTRP | 13/02/17 08:24 AM |
| 1 | Motivation for runningI hated running. It was such a boring, mundane thing to me. Couldn't stand being on a treadmill for more than 10 mins. I'd rather play sports to get my cardio. The major problem with that is sports have so much idle time. Eventually, I had a weird injury that prompted me to stop lifting for a while. I decided to just jog on the treadmill. My gym habits were already established, so going there was no problem getting there. I just had to force myself to use all the gym time on the treadmill. Let m… | /r/askTRP | 13/02/17 05:27 AM |

What's the reputation of the new company you got an offer for, vs. the reputation of your current company? Need more info before providing any useful advice. | /r/askTRP | 11/02/17 05:20 AM |
| 1 | Letting people know you're not busy?True, there's a lot I can be working on. I'm realizing that it is a respect thing. I need to respect my time, and in doing so others will respect my time. So if I'm working on something like cleaning my garage, I let people know this is my reason for not hanging out. They should accept it. I think since it is a cultural norm to use work as an excuse, i.e. socially acceptable. I've been worried about using less socially acceptable excuses. | /r/askTRP | 10/02/17 06:56 PM |
| 1 | From fat to hulk: 4 big lessons learnedCongrats, always awesome to see another brotha making progress. I've been on a cut for a while now. Similar situation as you. I grew up being pretty fat. Since getting my fitness on track, I lost a lot of weight. My overall plan was to cut until I have defined abs and no gut. Then develop a solid bulk/cut routine. I'm getting close but have some fat leftover. Guessing 10 pounds will finish it. Currently sitting at 5'9/150. It is a bit frustrating to not make significant muscle gains.

Even after swallowing, there was this glimmer of hope I could have an awesome relationship without the drama and bs. Clearly, everything is gonna be a game.

| 2 | The value of ghosting doesn't come from the other person reaching back out to youI never talk about my work, how much money I make, where I live, my career, etc in general I hear this sentiment a lot on TRP. What happens when they bring it up in conversation? Won't they be suspicious of why you're hiding this info, something which is commonly brought up in conversation? | /r/TheRedPill | 04/02/17 08:25 PM |
| 1 | Beware the comments section, or why you should be well versed in the sidebar and core TRP materials BEFORE reading the posts/comments on TRP subs.I agree with you. The side bar is pretty detailed already. But, it can't hurt to have a more organized approach to things. There should be an explicit mention of doing the work under each lesson. Like, try lifting for two weeks and self reflect on how you feel. Do starting strength for a month. Don't for a few weeks. Learn how to small talk by practising on people obliged to talk with you (retail associates, cashiers etc). If you feel like your developing as a person, good. Continue doing it.

At least, that is what I belive. What do you mean? There's pro's and con's to having some sort of filter. I believe the filter can improve quality posting. The problem is how we filter. Everyone has a unique set of experiences that we may be able to learn from, which is a good argument against filtering. For the purposes of this ideology though, there's a more specific set of experiences we rely on. I think those who consciously understand TRP, and ap… | /r/TheRedPill | 01/02/17 06:31 PM |
| 2 | Beware the comments section, or why you should be well versed in the sidebar and core TRP materials BEFORE reading the posts/comments on TRP subs.I think the price we pay for freedom of speech, is that the quality of content suffers. Its very easy for someone to make a good sounding comment, that doesn't provide meaning. Maybe treating TRP more as an organization can help maintain its integrity. TRP is an ideology. To fully understand the ideology, you need to study it. To study the ideology, there is a side bar of 'lessons'. Once a lesson is completed, you are allowed to ask questions about it. Once you go through all the lessons, you ne… | /r/TheRedPill | 31/01/17 07:54 AM |
| 1 | Building mass but also a gut...I have the inverse problem. Decided to cut first because I've always been a fatty. I'm getting closer and closer to visible abs (the top 2 show, with good lighting top 4). But I'm also not happy with my muscularity. My arms are defined, but not big. Personally, I'm sticking to my end goal of a cut 6 pack body because it means more to me. So I ask what means more to you? Also, look at the climate in your region. If the beach is closed until May, you have Feb,Mar,Apr. Is 3 months sufficient to cut… | /r/askTRP | 30/01/17 04:57 AM |
| 1 | How do you work out what you want from life?Start that business up. Utilize your domain knowledge, pool of connections and experience to come up with a good business model. Backpack to foreign countries for half a year and discover a different spectrum of reality. Could you elaborate on your career, and how you got to the top. How do you know you're at the top? | /r/askTRP | 30/01/17 04:49 AM |
| 5 | Can you learn to be proficient in technical matters (computer programming, math, etc), just as you can slowly get better at new sports. Or does it require a certain brain?It requires the type of brain that enjoy's solving problems and learning. It also requires a serious dedication. Self learning and bootcamps aren't enough. Grab a degree from a decent school. This will help provide the solid foundation. | /r/askTRP | 30/01/17 04:46 AM |

I want to point out some observations though. Whether you like it or not, things are the way they are because of how humans are wired. Society's existence is a result of human behaviour and growth. We are also social creatures. We thrive when in a community. Universities that do innovative research to cure diseases are a collaboration of individual effort and collective knowledge.

| 2 | Best countries for a black guy to visitIts such a head-spin. I always assumed that black men did poorly in countries like Russia, given the racism. I didn't think about the rareness factor. Even so, I'm not a stereotypical black guy (5'9, fit but not jacked, non-thug), so I'm not sure how it'll play out. | /r/askTRP | 27/01/17 05:44 AM |

Do you have toxic relationships? - Are you in poor shape? - Are you struggling financially/academically? Not always mutually exclusive. - Is there a lack of excitement in your life? These were all the questions I asked myself. The more difficult stuff was the mental… | /r/askTRP | 27/01/17 04:34 AM |

There's some statistic out there saying 60-70k is the ideal income for happiness before diminishing returns. I always felt like its a trap to ensure people don't get too ambitious.

Take that as you will. A few options for you are: 1. Take the lab tech position and learn to enjoy it. 2. Go back to school for a degree in something with better prospects, but also more interesting for you. 3. Learn a trade The fact that you have no debt is really really good.

Take aways...Now as an adult I'm just too lazy to go form meaningful relationships with people, every time I'm stressed, instead of doing something about it or going to a friend and talking about it, I just log onto the computer and do my best to forget about it.
