Throwaway for reasons that will soon be obvious.
I found the Manosphere and TRP about a year ago, and have become increasingly persuaded over time that my marriage wouild benefit from some redpill. I've already taken some initial steps -- chiefly, lifting -- and am thrilled with the results. But figuring out next steps is challenging.
Some background on my marriage: I had an introverted, beta personality growing up, but I was athletic so often enjoyed alpha status by virtue of my team status. I met my wife in college. She was smoking hot and I felt lucky to have her. Sex was frequent and great.
Fast forward ten years. We're married, no kids, neither of us want them. We both have six-figure jobs. My wife's looks have held up about as well as could be expected, but she's pushing 30. I'm still attracted to her, but I'm starting to feel friendzoned. She is easygoing, funny and makes a great roommate. However, she never initiates, and when I initiate the result is one notch above starfish. She is complying to indulge me. I get this half-hearted sex about 3x per month. Last time, within seconds of both of us finishing, she rolled over to check Twitter.
Here's the wrinkle: I discovered the Manosphere indirectly through my wife. She is active in the Alt Right, though reads mostly HBD and NRx blogs. She made me an Alt Right twitter feed to try to get me into the movement, and I followed some links from that feed to Chateau Heartiste. One thing led to another and now I'm here.
Because my wife is Alt Right you might get the impression that she is a traditionalist antifeminist. She is not. In fact she regularly mocks the incels and "muds" (her term for nonwhites) who in her view comprise the PUA community. She once remarked that she would love the opportunity to date one of them, just to troll and destroy him. I found this unexpectedly cruel, and it made me see another side of her I didn't like.
My wife has been cognizant of the Manosphere for longer than I have and retweets memes mocking Matt Forney, so I am pretty sure that if I tried more advanced TRP theory she'd get wise to it. Also, through her Alt Right politics she has developed numerous long-distance orbiters. I haven't told her that this bothers me, because even my bluepill beta self would have been embarrassed to admit jealousy of faceless internet nerds. Most of the time I am not jealous of them, but have started to appreciate that it isn't alpha or dignified to let strange men orbit one's wife.
Does anyone have any experience gaming a wife who has read, and expressed contempt for, Game? Tips on neutralizing orbiters would also be helpful. If I gave her an ultimatum, "it's orbiters or me," I'm pretty sure she would laugh and tell me to get over it. Unless she is actually cheating, I am not prepared to divorce her, so I'm not sure what leverage I have in an ultimatum scenario.
