I am only eighteen years old, and I have had quite a bit of success with women despite being the largest beta in the universe up until recently. I owe this to the fact that I have a high natural SMV despite it being nowhere near where I want it to be. This does not matter in this particular post, however. My last LTR was a raging feminist and I found about TRP through her. I was disgusted by what I saw, to be quite honest. I did not understand what TRP was at the time. I still disagree with a good third of what the more extreme users submit on this subreddit, but the information pertaining to attracting women, lifting, becoming multi-faceted, skilled, among other things interest me greatly. I do not mean to downplay what TRP has done for me, it is just that I never devote myself entirely to an ideology. I try to be as critical as I can. Now, down to business. I am not interested in women right now. I have two plates, one I fuck two to three times a week, and another I fool around with. I mostly use the second plate to satisfy my occasional yearning for emotion, even though I know very well not to contract oneitis. The thought of dating makes me want to puke. I am currently in the delayed entry program of the of the United States Naval Forces. I leave effective Oct. 01, 2015 for RTC. I want to gain a lot of muscle, a lot of wisdom and knowledge, and a lot of ability before then. I mention my enlistment because it pertains to what I want to do with my time. I cannot talk about my position in the Navy personally as it would not be appropriate, but it involves engineering and mathematics. I am greatly interested in finding mentors that will bend me, break me, and instruct me on my way to success in learning skills such as wood working, fixing up cars and bikes, and repairing computers. I have a family member who has been doing all three of these things his entire life, and who was a marine in the Korean War. He would have been a perfect candidate as a mentor for me if he was not so soft. I suppose I am looking for the sort of individual who is fair, but will kick my ass into shape. Onto another subject of importance. I am also invested in creating a group of men who learn and grow strong from one another. A brotherhood. I know what it is like to have men you respect around you, and I miss it greatly. There is this individual at my job, who is pretty much the biggest beta I have ever met in my life. I reached out to him after several months wondering if I should, asking if he was interested in becoming a better and stronger person with me. He never responded, and I think he was weirded out. He is twenty three, never had a kiss, and still lives with parents. He is decently attractive with great frame, but the confidence and the charisma of a pet rock. What can you do. My questions are these: How did you obtain a mentor(s)? What sort of mentor(s) did you obtain? Was the experience with your mentor(s) life changing? Do you have a positive and powerful relationship with the men in your life? If so, how did you develop such a network?
