Forgive my rambling, this is a quick FR of my thoughts and observations over the past couple months of reading and embracing TRP.

I was introduced to TRP by a very close friend and I am extremely grateful. I became conscious of my beta behavior and it hit me like a ton of bricks. The most relevant point being "what makes you valuable as a male?"

I had been lifting on and off, making excuses along the way about work, stress, daily chores, etc.... One day I looked myself in the mirror and said "Fuck your excuses! What are you doing today to better yourself? Why are you valuable?" Here is my TL:DR over the past couple months.

After a LTR I decided to give Tinder a try with a beta perspective telling women how beautiful and interesting they were with nothing more promising than a nice dinner date on occasion. Wonderful.

After reading and deciding to apply TRP, I have had more success in the past months than in my entire life. Here are my key notes/realizations that have been reinforced after application.

  • Set a fucking goal - My goal for the first night was to bring this chick back to the house. Clean up, make the bed and make your place look presentable. No woman has ever dried up because a man's house was well kept and presentable. I'm sure plenty of women have lost interest because a man has a dirty house, a nasty bathroom, and a sink full of dishes. Make yourself presentable.

  • Initiate Kino - ABE - Always Be Escalating. I'm so glad I read up on this and kino. Physical contact is key and sets the tone for the rest of the night. If she reciprocates, continue in moderation. If she rejects it, assess the situation and calibrate accordingly.

  • Win/Learn - Treat every date as a win/learn, not a win/loss. Once I tried this and actually applied TRP, the results proved themselves and reinforced what I had read. More to follow.

  • Body Language - I watched some of the Ted Talks and similar videos on body language. It made me very self-aware of how and why I was sub-consciously responding to women in all kinds of scenarios. I began practicing what I had learned/seen with immediate results and confidence.

Quick FR. As a beta, I had matched with this girl on Tinder. Dropped the ball and she lost interest. No surprise. I bumped into her in person after reading TRP for a while and setup a coffee date. I set a goal to bring her to the house and win/learn. Initiated kino, bounced around to the park, then the bar. Passed some shit tests, and showed her a good night while implementing the knowledge that I gained here. Teasing, body language, and kino/ABE. Usually, as a beta, I would ask a girl where they wanted to go next. This time I stood up, outstretched my hand and said "let's take a walk." Take control of the situation. You can come with me or you can go home kind of attitude. We ended up at my place, it was well kept because I had planned ahead, and I got a BJ. Fantastic. Next day she got overly self righteous ("I'm not that kind of girl.") Fantastic. Next.

Plate that I thought I had dropped hits me up. We hang out, grab drinks, BJ and sex. I maintained frame after I thought I had dropped her and it led to great things. Still spinning.

Matched with another girl on Tinder, who I almost caught Oneitis for. We have all the same hobbies, exercise, hiking, good food, good beer, and lots of sex. We met up one night and I applied all the same principles. Ended up at my place and had great sex, reaffirmed by "I'm going to have trouble walking tomorrow."

This is not a synopsis to brag. I haven't had this much luck initiative in a long time. The things you read here are gold. Take them to heart and make an honest application to better yourself and the rest will follow. I'm eating better, lifting heavier, have way more self confidence, and feel better as a human being. My motivation is higher than ever and I have a great friend and this community to thank for it. Keep learning, keep reading, and most of all, apply. Not for any validation, but to prove it to yourself. You have one life here on this earth. Why not make the absolute most of it in every aspect.
