Long time lurker, 9 years since I turned my back on the lies.

I've helped many men over the years with issues constantly discussed on here, so maybe my experience can give you guys some perspective. Additionally, a friend and I are starting a business catered to helping men get back on their feet and find their masculinity again.

I've noticed a trend in here lately where many, many guys completely misunderstand what TRP is, what its limitations are, and why, despite the knowledge being readily available to them, will still end up being in the same place they were before they found this place.

First and foremost, understand that TRP is simply a perspective, nothing more. It is not a magic wand that will magically make all of your problems go away simply by flipping a switch in your brain from beta to alpha, and boom, life suddenly becomes easy to crush. It is also not a hard coded set of rules where "Question A requires Answer B to get pussy and success in life." Many people will read through the basics on here and think that every situation can be handled with the standard answers like "Ignore or escalate her shit test and she will appreciate your frame" or "Lift weights to start upping your SMV." In many situations, things like that do work, but there is so much context and nuance in how you approach life from a TRP mindset that it's easy to miss the big picture.

TRP simply gives you more choices. That's it. It allows you to recognize what you want for your life, what you don't want, and what you're willing to do to get both aspects in tune with who you are underneath it all. Who you are now, and who you want to be.

It's simply prioritizing honesty over everything else, and gives you the framework to get to that same place with yourself.

Now with that in mind, understand that it takes A LOT of work to get to a place where this mindset becomes second nature. A lot of doubt, anger, frustration and even fear. Many of you are underestimating to what extent you're willing to go to change yourself to get the results you want out of life. Everybody wants to be alpha but not very many people have what it takes to face those realities. Constant pressure, both internally and externally that NEVER stops, doubt, competition, confrontation, violence. Just a few of the things that you will probably face in your life depending on where this journey takes you. Which is why I'm here to tell you, many of you will tap out after a while. Because it will set in that shit doesn't get easier once you've unplugged. It's harder, and you recognize you're alone in your struggle. Nobody gives a fuck, because you're a man. Nobody gives a fuck because at the end of the day, you're a nobody too, you're expendable in your best day and society has built itself to make you a cog in its wheel to be used up before you die. And the work it will take to break free of that is nowhere near as good as the feeling you get when you eat that cheeseburger or jack off to that porn video. Because you're not the mighty oak, you're the weed that gets mowed every Sunday, and that's just who you were meant to be.

TRP is a bitter pill with many wonderful nutrients once you get past that initial gag. It is not a black and white thing where you insert coin A to get prize B. It is a philosophy, with many conflicting ideas and answers. But that's the point. It allows you to approach your life how you want to with it.
