As a newbie on the MRP journey, I have a few praxeological questions to help orient my mindset in the right way.

  1. Is sex something that a woman "gives" you or is it something that a couple "shares" together? I think Rollo talked about women as the gatekeepers of intimacy in TRM. And the concepts of game and seduction seem to me to be strategies to "get" sex from women, or a conquest of sorts if you will. But then at the same time, how do we not view sex as a "reward" given by said women? And how is build attraction --> get sex not a transaction?
  2. On the topic of transaction, what makes transactional sex a death knell? Aren't all adult relationships ultimately transactional in nature, including with your colleagues, jobs, friends, etc.? Heck, even RP teaches that you should leave if your woman is no longer adding value to your life, which seems to be a transaction to me. So is it a case of yes, you need to be transactional in the big picture (i.e. having an active sex life) but not in each particular individual instance (e.g. having sex tonight)?
  3. Given how illogical and emotional I now understand women to be, how do they even function in everyday life? In their job? In my field (STEM), the women are very logical and calculating. Do they have a switch that they turn on to revert back into silly little girls when they go back home to their partners? Do women only e.g. shit test their partners or romantic prospects, and not their friends or colleagues? This makes me wonder whether I have been engaging women the wrong way at work, or indeed in everyday life. Obviously, I'm not going to hit on a female relative or a female superior at work, but which RP concepts can be applied to women who are not our wives?
  4. On the topic of DARE vs. DEER, we use DEER (minus the "excuse") with our bosses, our co-workers, our underlings, right? At least I do - defending, explaining, rationalizing is what we do in STEM. But DARE with our wives? It seems that now *I* have a switch that I need to turn on and off, which makes me feel like it's not something genuine. How to overcome this?

I'm not even sure if my questions make sense because I don't think I'm internalizing all the concepts correctly. Thank you in advance for any insights you may have.
