I'm a recently unplugged man, 2 years into a marriage. TRP is blowing my fucking mind, I can't stop reading. I quit my old job 2 months ago due to differences in values with the company and I just landed a new one starting Sept earning 30% more, and my wife and I are also moving to a new apt that is across the street from a gym, so I'm going to start lifting after the move.

In the past 3 weeks I've read David Deida's book TWSM, both of Rollo's books just arrived in the mail today, I've been all over therationalmale, honoranddaring, rooshv, RSD, returnofkings, roosh, and more posts in various TRP subs than I can count.

I've been going through the various stages of unplugging pretty rapidly, anger, disbelief, despair, etc. At first, I felt a lot of anger in general and directed towards my own father for not teaching me this stuff as a boy. I continued to read and learn. Now I have nothing but excitement and energy to transform my self and my marriage for good, and gratitude for discovering this wisdom now, before I have my first kid, so I can pass it along.

I was hesitant to tell my old man about all this too soon, because as I've learned, like father like son, he too is a card-carrying beta, and I was afraid of having to handle his feminized reactions to it. Anyways, I felt like I couldn't wait any longer, and so when he called me today I went on for like 20mins about how unplugging is blowing my mind, and talking in laymens terms about shit testing, frame, hypergamy and the like. His reactions were: first he started laughing his ass off when I told him about how men and women have different sexual strategies, and that entering into a marriage can be a big sacrifice for the man. Then the next thing he said was, somberly, that he didn't learn how to be a man from his own dad, who was a soldier in Mussolini's army, and that he thought both his and my mother's family's were filled with 'dysfunctional' men.

Anyways I asked him if he'd be interested in reading some of the material I was going on about and then getting together to talk about it and he said helllya.

The one thing about all this stuff is that some of the acronyms and terminology can be impenetrable and confusing to outsiders (it's taken me a while to map out and internalize the TRP lexicon). My dad's in his early 60s, can anyone suggest a few posts/articles that I can share with him, that aren't too intimidating?

As I learn more, practice the TRP principles, and stabilize this new way of looking at and being in the world I plan to become a more active poster. For now, I'm still learning to use my eyes. Thanks for any help.
