I think codependency is massively overlooked when we think about what draws people to TRP in the first place and why it’s difficult to leave behind. I personally found these articles v helpful, (Part 4, and Part 5). Note that they are on the longer side

A few caveats:

  • The blog is now down, I’ve used archived links but can’t find parts 1-3. He says you need to read all three before starting part four to not get lost but I never did and it was v easy to follow.

  • The author from what I can gauge still carries some reactionary views, (or at least did, these are v old), there are references to Roosh and some long-diatribes inbetween but it’s worth ignoring them to get to the main substance of the posts.

  • The articles are written in reference to PUAs, but seeing as TRP is also mainly about ‘self-improvement’ and sex it’s just as applicable
