Solid points, especially the part about not being an asshole. I feel like a lot of guys try to become this salty cold sea captain who doesn't take any shit and walks with a scowl and a peg leg.

Your relationship isn't a 19th century whaling vessel, it's more like the love boat or a Disney cruise. You have to whether storms and steer the bitch but you also have to host karaoke night and judge the limbo contest.

I failed miserably - all I needed to fail was failing on owning my shit (6) and I dialed dread too fast (7) - dread without rise in SMV won't work; how can you dial down presence if you're not present, I also acted like a "faux alpha" (9). I also failed on social stuff, friends is NOT enough, you just need social for social, gym does not count.

Surprisingly I find channeling anger into extramarital fucking (10) not as bad as those before, even if it sounds ridiculous to you, it shouldn't be. A really high quality male fucking not because of beta traits, but owning his shit elsewhere will take a SMV hit but can be forgiven, I believe. Unfortunately this was not my case.

I owned the rest but failing 6, 7, 8 and 9 was enough. Basically 60% means FAIL. I believe miserably failing one out of ten will mean total failure too.

I can get behind this. Half assed is not going to win anything.

Solid points...

I would recommend using gloves with wrists straps though, grips minimum. Your hygeine can make up for rough hands, smooth your calluses. It won't however stop you from hurting your wrists and with the propensity of sedentery work being the norm most guys wrist already have some damage built in from computer/cubicle living.....

I have found that going to department stores trying on clothes and then finding them through an online retailer with coupons to be the cheapest way of upgrading.....

Add supplements to your diet, eating clean is great but there still are things a clean diet will miss especially as you age.....

Printing this out. You reminded me to go back to the basics. I'm going to reread the pre-reqs.

10 - Anger: best analogy I've heard is to think like a seasoned pro quarterback instead of the 1st year college rookie. When shit flares up at home and you want to yell and get angry, that's like the rookie QB who will throw to the first guy he can when he's about to get crushed. You need to build up the mental tools to keep your frame and coolly throw the TD pass, not nuke and puke.

I learned this while in beta-bitch 'counseling' a few years ago, and was the only thing that was worthwhile. The main tool was Mindful Meditation (just clearing your head of all thoughts while out walking, being in the 'now', and being aware of all five senses. Shit actually works)

For everything, else (like the username says) I'm still the rookie but have swallowed the pill and making progress. I really have to start STFU'ing though.

A solid thanks for this post and for RP in general. I might not save my marriage but I'm DEFINITELY going to save myself.

I like it a lot! Great post that identifies some of the most common fails that we see.
