TRP's opinion on smoking

It's unhealthy and it smells. These days, there is little smv left since movies stars and the like no longer can do it onscreen.

If you're already hooked, try to switch to ecigs. Cheaper, no mess, no smell. A lot healthier.

I smoke cigs and I don't care what women think about it.

Do what you enjoy, that is the most important thing. Don't hinder your lifestyle choices for any women.

Also, I do believe it can raise your SMV in certain situations, like where you pop out of the bar for a quick smoke and bump into a cutie smoking her cig. Smokers have an unspoken rule where we are usually pretty friendly towards one another, and it is a perfect ice breaker in those types of situations.

Smoking is a hard one. I'd say it can both lower your SMV (smell/health issues) and raise your SMV (More mysterious, carefree, arrogant, ...)

The biggest plus about smoking is the social situation it creates when it comes to flirting with women. The phenomenon is known as 'smirting'. I can't tell you how much I've been able to get a woman by simply talking to them for 5 minutes in a calm, outside atmosphere and then leading them on back into the club. Smoking together relieves stress and general awkwardness. If smoking didn't have this feature I would find it way easier to quit..

Jesus christ.

You should value your health above all else. What good is SMV when you are dead? Lung cancer also decreases your SMV....

See the post a couple of days ago about how heroin addicts are getting laid because of their badassery. Smoking is basically the same, just on lower level. Mini part-time badasses. Especially at times when it's health this health that a million times a day don't eat/use/touch this it's bad for you. A middle finger to this all health bollocks.

Think of it this way: you are paying to give yourself ill health and diseases on a daily installment plan.

I'd say it lowers your SMV. It sounds terrible, but I'm not really a fan of even being friends with smokers. I think it shows that they don't take care of themselves and they don't have the willpower to do something important enough to prolong their lives.

I wouldn't do it, I go to the gym frequently, why would I work to better my health and at the same time ruin my health? Yes, smoking imagery is cool, but it's unhealthy and expensive for the gain.

I do smoke when im out drinking. It's quite the social tool where i live. No smoking inside bars, restaurants or any other public area so everyone meets up outside.
But, everyone these days knows smoking is really bad for you and even if i smoke when im out i would never date someone who is a regular. And i think that is a growing trend many places.

Do whatever you want.

I smoke about 3-4 cigarettes a week. I've noticed lately that if I see a HB smoking a cigarette I literally can't help myself. I'll go up and bum a bogs and chat her up, typically number close if she's hot enough. It's a solid ice breaker. Although, I have heard mixed reviews. Generally, sluttier more liberal chicks will think smoking is 'hot, mysterious'. Meanwhile, more reserved and 'gf material' girls will think it's gross, a turnoff. To summarize, social smoking may be advantageous but real men have no vices.

You're asking a group of guys studying stoicism what they think of slow suicide?

Being able to smoke is a way to engang or drive your game in the clubs but in everyday... it's somewhat anti-cool according to me :)

Cigarette smoking has literally nothing to do with red pill or blue pill.

I doubt it even has any effect on perceived SMV, unless the chick you're talking to is a severe health nut.

In Europe, tons of people smoke, and you're costing yourself many opportunities if you stay inside while the girls you've been running game on go out for a smoke. You'll probably even be viewed as kind of a weirdo. In China, a cigarette is offered by a businessman as an offer to do business, and turnig it down is considered churlish.

In the US, the above statement still holds water. It's an opportunity toget a girl away from her cock-blocking friends, actually be able to talk at a normal speaking level with words longer than one syllable each, physically escalate (she's cold, so she'll want to get close...), you get the idea.

I don't smoke cigarettes typically, but if it'll help me get some strange? I'd be an idiot. Besides, don't you know, "if she smokes, she pokes"?

Throwing away your money and health for a theoretical small percentage increase in your chance at getting laid? TRP is about self improvement, how is smoking improving you?
