OK,

Some of you may recognise my username, I’m a “red flaired” mod over on PPD and also was a regular poster here on MRP a long, long, time ago in a galaxy far, far away…..

For those that don’t know me I’m an RP guy that’s been involved in the manosphere for about 4 years now. Mainly arguing with infidels over on PPD. I got into RP in an unusual way, in so far as I discovered Evolutionary Psychology first and a very long time ago.

When I found RP, I recognised is as what could be called “Applied Evo Psych” and have been practicing it ever since in my little nuclear family of 4.

Some of the regular posters and mods here have become interested in me explaining a bit of EP to the lads, so I’m going to do a series of posts going over EP, how it relates to RP (and MRP scenarios in particular) and generally pass on anything I think might add value to the MRP subscribership. I can do RP material too, you might want to check out my old 8 post series Intermediate MRP if you like that kind of stuff, but lots of guys can write that. EP is where I can add value in a unique way.

So, general intro over…. Let’s discuss EP and RP.

How does Evolutionary Psychology relate to RP

OK, many of you may not know this but RP is a praxeology (a way of acting in the world) that was largely “based” upon the science of Evolutionary Psychology (a body of scientific knowledge).

RP stands in related to EP in the same way “Mechanics” stand in relation to “Physics” or “Doctors” stand in relation to “Biology”.

RP is the “way of acting in the world to get an effect” (improving male sex lives) that is based on EP as refined by a lot of trial and error real world practice, first by PUA and then by RP guys practising themselves and recording what worked.

Just as Mechanics have a “way of acting in the world to get an effect” (fixing cars) that is partly based on the knowledge gained by Physics as a science (the strange smelling liquid expands when you set it on fire, and you can use this to push a piston) and partly by lots of trial and error real world practice.

RP is EP with lots of “bang it with a hammer” and “lube it up till it works” and other real world wisdom added to make the dry scientific knowledge work out in the real world for “improving men’s sex lives”.

To give you some idea… Alpha and Beta Traits are RP’s version of what EP Scientists call “markers of genetic fitness” and “markers of ability to provide”. Thats where they originally came from.

AF/BB is EP’s “female alternative mating strategy”.

Oneitis is EPs “limerence”.

Ovulation game is EPs “variance in female behaviour through the menstrual cycle and ovulation”.

I can go on like this through about 80% of RP concepts. Briffaults Law is one of the few that came over with the original name.

One of the reasons I am going to write this post, and probably a whole series, is that RP has (in the long game of telephone from “the originals” to “you lot”) lost a lot of this knowledge of the underlying human systems EP gives you.

What is EP, then ? And how will it get my wife’s knickers wet ?

Evolutionary Psychology is the study of human psychology starting from the assumption that we are evolved animals.

Being evolved animals means our brains evolved to do the tasks genes wanted them to perform. Our brains are an evolved organ built by genes for their own purposes. Just as your heart is there to do what you genes need it to do, so does your brain. Thats all it is. Another organ, working like all others, for genes own ends.

It’s not, I’m afraid, this “whole new thing” that come down to earth as a spark from gods finger. It’s an evolved part of this world like any other.

It is built to do what the genes that built it want it to do. You are an unanticipated passenger.

What “You” consider to be “You” is just the conscious part of your brain. Most of your brain isn’t “You” it’s something else. Something else entirely under genes control and not yours.

“You” are a thin rational veneer on top, a coat of conscious paint over a subconscious elephant.

What Genes Want

Genes want to be copied. Thats it. Do not pass go, do not collect $200.

There is nothing else they want.

They have built all of you, including your brain, in order to achieve the objective of copying them.

Just as an Elephant is a way for Elephant Genes to make more Elephant Genes, You are a means of Human Genes copying themselves. Nothing more, nothing less. Thats why you were built.

Almost everything you do, either consciously or unconsciously is bent towards this objective whether you know it or not.

Your “conscious brain” is just one of the tools genes evolved to help them achieve this end. A small bit, albeit one small bit that has got a little bit out of control and thinks it’s something called a “Human Being”. This is the only bit that is “you”.

Or, to put it another way, “you” are simply the “react to the environment in realtime” module that genes built on top of all the rest of their human. A module that has got “a bit out of control” from the gene’s point of view. The rest is wholly owned by them.

What your conscious brain can do is very limited. It can …

  • Find clever ways to do what your subconscious mind tells you to do.
  • Pass information back to this subconscious brain so it can make a decision on what instincts/emotions to send back up to your rational brain to direct the action.
  • Very Occasionally make an executive decision to not go with your instincts/emotions.

Thats it, more or less.

Basically, you don’t have free will. None of us do.

What you do have is “Free Won’t”.

The bit of the brain that is you can’t make instinctive decisions, can’t control your emotions and instincts and where/how they fire, can’t really do much at all… except select information to pass back to the genetic algorithms AND very occasionally “overrule” the instincts they produce.

You’ll know when you are doing this. These are the 2 or 3 decisions a day where you stop, think consciously on it for a few minutes turning alternatives over consciously, weight options, then decide not to do what feels instinctively right.

Those are the only points in the day you can be fairly sure “you” are in control. The rest of every day, the bits that genes directly control do everything.

EVERY OTHER decision you make, 1,000’s a day, are made by the subconscious built and controlled by genes and “You” just go do what they want. “Hmmmm, I fancy a donut. ~go get donut~”. Thats “you” acting as the puppet for the rest of your brain and the genes that built it. The genes wanted that donut, and they made you go get it for them.

OK, not seeing any wet knickers yet. What does this genes stuff have to do with RP ?

Well, women work the same way.

Just like you, they work instinctively almost all the time. They do what their genes want them to do almost all of the time. So the easy way to get laid is to persuade their instinctive brains to want to fuck you. It’s as simple as that. Go straight past the thin rational veneer, deal with the parts directing the action.

They’re little genetically programmed copying machines too. 99.9% of the time they’re acting on genetic instinct too.

If you can persuade her instincts to send her brain feelings of “YUM, I like him. Go have sex with him” then, most of the time, she’ll do just that.

It’s very easy to persuade a woman instinctively attracted to you to have sex with you even if her rational brains doesn’t want to. It’s extremely hard to persuade a rational brain to override her instinctive feelings of yuuuuech, no way and sleep with you despite that instinctive feeling. As many of you have discovered.

This is what RP is about. Going straight past her rational brain and cocking about in her instinctive genetic brain getting it to be sexually interested in you.

A common misconceptions of EP or Genetics to avoid

So, whatever I naturally feel is right then ? If the genes programmed me to do this, it’s natural, so I should just go right ahead and do it, no ? If it’s natural it’s right

Nope. Genes are working in Genes interests. These can also be in your interests but commonly they’re not.

The Gene’s ideal human husband/wife has 1,500 children. Because Genes are all children, children, grandchildren, grandchildren, copies, copies and nothing else.

Having 1,500 children is not an ideal human life for a human^*. You won’t have fun. You shouldn’t do it.

^^^*If ^^^Emperor ^^^with ^^^giant ^^^harem ^^^exceptions ^^^may ^^^apply.

Remember earlier when I said that we are the “react to the environment in realtime” module thats got a bit out of control ? This is one of the ways we’ve got out of the genes control. We invented contraception.

We can now have all the sex genes have programmed us to have, and programmed us to find extraordinarily fun, but not have the 1,500 kids that genes think they will get out of this deal.

This is highly unnatural but also GREAT.

What I’m going to be telling you is how your genes have programmed you, and your wife, and all the other women. This doesn’t make it right, it just describes what is.

What you want to do with that is up to you. Many of those things will fuck your genes over terribly. Like wearing a condom. But thats their problem.

We’re going to be working through how the world is, so that their little “react to the world in realtime” module that got our of control (you) can get what you want out of your life.

Or at least, when I get around to writing post II thats what we’re going to do.

Right now, you’re going to go read something else or… even better… go and apply some RP concepts in your real life to achieve your goals rather than cocking about on the internet all night.

Please go away and do that for a day or three and I’ll write the second instalment. Which is going to be titled Applied Evo Psych II - Alpha, Beta and being an Instinctively Desirable Male.
