Four years since I took the pill. Damn.

I will skip most of the initial details, since my story in the first couple of years was almost by the book. Former jock, Division I athlete, got married and had kids, got a high paying job and worked my ass off, gained weight, became (literally) drunk captain. Wife started avoiding sex at all costs, even if it meant going to bed a 3 am, lost all respect for me. Told me she didn't want to have sex with me any more.

Found MRP, started lifting like mad, learned to focus on self improvement, took responsibility for captaining the ship, learned pickup. Sex came roaring back, respect as well.

Where am I now? Well, the last year or so has taken me on a different path than most of the other MRPers, so I thought it might be worth filling it in. I've only seen one case that is similar to mine, and his has a lot of parallels: http://archive.is/u6y9f

I'm in great shape, almost better than when I was in college. More ripped for sure. I'm centered, at peace with myself, and satisfied with my career. Sex at home is on demand. In addition, I'm having great success on the side. HB8s and 9s, models, Instagram girls left and right. As I posted recently, some of these girls are approaching me, even runway models. Sometimes I don't even have to approach them. This is purely on basis of looks, game, and confidence. I could possibly do even better if I told them what I do or how much I'm worth, but I prefer to hunt with a hunting knife, not a machine gun.

As u/therougepill said,

Even if you are married it is easy to date women and get them to sleep with you. There are so many young women who find an older, successful, attached man incredibly attractive. Women like it if you are attached and generally don't care if you are cheating.

Wife knows. Some of you have asked me how I know. Well, there are the unexplained late night absences. And the one time she asked me if I was having an affair, I told her I was. She just said, "oh" and she hasn't asked again. The key lesson is that women will rather share a high value man than downgrade. It is not likely she will do better than me. I am a great father, treat her well, have social status, and make more money than we could spend under normal circumstances. She is much happier than she was before I took the pill, and she seem 100% satisfied with her life. Anthropologists say humans are polygamous by nature. I totally believe it now. If you're a low quality guy, no, that's not an option. But if you're a high quality guy, yes.

The point I want to make to those of you who are new to this is, when you're 3-4 years into MRP, this is a potential option for you. A lot of you are going to become very high value men. You will find when your wife goggles come off that your wife is a 6, not a 9. And some of you will have 25 yo 8s and 9s throwing themselves at you. And you may find that your wife is not just OK with it, she expects it and would find it incongruent if you weren't having side pieces. As men, we're programmed to see a marriage through a romantic lens. Women see it through much more pragmatic lens.

When I read u/therougepill's post 3 years ago, I never thought that was in the cards for me but... it's amazing what MRP can lead you to, if you put the work in. Peace.
