Lots of new guys seem to think they can substitute something half assed for the solid MRP advice given. The simple truth is that if other stuff worked, we'd list it as an option.

Here are three common mistakes:

 

I work out a lot.

The advice is not to work out. It is to lift. Other than lifting, working out is merely a hobby. It's a good hobby and easily beats most of the omega recreational activities people otherwise engage in, but it is not lifting.

Nobody cares how fit you are, how healthy you are, how fast you can run or how much skill you have. It's about being ripped. You need to look line one of these guys

The reason for lifting is that a) it lets you build muscle and b) it lets you lose fat without also losing lots of muscle. Since you want plenty of muscle and little fat, and no other sport gets you those effects, the advice is to lift. The only alternative is steroids.

And lifting is something very specific: heavy compound lifts combined with a cutting or bulking diet. You can't do this properly with body weight exercises or without counting calories. Otherwise you are at best doing a half assed approach, and very likely you will get zero progress.

There are a few exemptions to this, like the rare man who doesn't lift but is already ripped from some combination of genetics, years of hard work and good eating habits. If you're that guy and already look like of the guys on the above picture, congrats; you don't need to lift. But for most of us it isn't an option to take a job as an axe-swinging lumberjack and then wait 5 years to look good.

So go lift.

 

I try to find an argument that will make my wife accept my behavior without a fight

We don't do arguments. Don't DEER, it doesn't work.

We don't have some neat little verbal judo trick that will make your wife calm down instantly and become the sweet submissive sex kitten you've always wanted.

The program is laid out for you:

  • raise your SMV
  • enforce your boundaries
  • learn to pass shit tests
  • build your frame to be strong enough to weather her attacks

That's it. It takes time, it takes effort, and it isn't easy or something you can do without her bitching and crying over your "assholish behavior" (it is in quotes because that's how she frames your behavior - you're not supposed to actually be an asshole). There's no magic word that will make this a quick fix. You're up against an evalution engine hardwired into her brain, refined by evolution over eons to weed out anything but real deal alphas. There are no shortcuts and no free passes. She will test your frame and you will have to endure that without flinching.

 

I work hard and make a lot of money and that should get me sex

Your job, your income, those are beta qualities. Good beta qualities (and we advice you to get plenty of good beta to go along with your alpha), but beta qualities none the less.

And beta qualities only make her want to stay with you. They don't make her want to fuck you brains out.

You will only bring out the sex kitten in her with alpha qualities, and those are:

  • mostly behaviour (frame, passing shit tests, OI, game)
  • some looks
  • some preselection

That's it. Anything else is irrelevant bullshit that won't make her horny. Stop feeling entitled because of your job or your past accomplishments or your sacrifices. It doesn't matter.

 

Conclusion

The bottom line is, you can't just come on MRP, read the sidebar, and then think you can get the results without actually implementing what you've read. That's like expecting to get ripped from having a gym membership without ever going, or going there and doing Zumba classes. The advice that is on here is there for a reason. It's because it is what works. Everything you skip or substitute for something else will hurt your chances.

Lift and lead.
