The anger phase. Again! Two different kinds of the anger phase

The anger phase isn't about women at all. It's about a man coming face to face with Rule of the Universe #1: Life's not fair.

Lots of people--RP and BP folks alike--focus on the woman aspect of the anger phase, but the women are merely representative of the bigger, more insidious issue: there is no moral economy in the universe. Bad things happen to good people. Good things happen to bad people. Go read the Book of Job. Even if you are an atheist, you will find that themes of senseless, meaningless suffering will resonate even now.

If you're angry, you are still clinging to this idea of fairness. When we teach fairness to children, we teach it only halfway. Yes, you can be fair to others, but you cannot expect fairness from others or from fate. The anger means that you still have hope for some sort of universal justice. This is why I think tenderly of anger phasers. It is my sincere hope that each one will find his own peace.

"You cannot imagine what sorrow and anger seize one's whole soul when a great idea, which one has long and piously revered, is picked up by some bunglers and dragged into the street, to more fools like themselves, and one suddenly meets it in the flea market, unrecognizable, dirty, askew, absurdly presented, without proportion, without harmony, a toy for stupid children." --Dostoevsky

"Therefore I will not restrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul." --Book of Job

There's also the kind where you deeply regret the time you wasted listening to blue pill "Just be yourself" lies and seeing that stuff being spread around sets you off

I'm #2, was pretty naturally rp through high school and college. Was in a band and traveled on tour for a bit. Going to college exposed me to a lot of rp truths, especially about how rough different ethnicities have it.

Recently finished my masters and didn't date at all on campus, but a lot of that was because of the current state of hysteria on campus. I'm not putting my future on the line on the off chance some girl decides it wasn't consensual months down the line.

Now I make more money than I know what to do with and am concerned about gold diggers popping up. Very common where I'm working right now.

I don't think success and anger are sustainable. If you're on top of your game, you'll get what you want, it may be spinning plates or wife and kids. But if you get the results you want from the other sex, it's impossible to remain angry.

For what it's worth, I'm definitely a number 1. I just don't vent on TRP. Then again, I have had a small amount of success.

I was #1. So angry that I got a silver medal in the kickboxing nationals.

Anger phase number 2 doesn't exist in my opinion. If you're getting laid by beautiful women you're not angry. These guys are probably lying.

I don't know if I'll ever outgrow the anger phase. I'll be doing my morning exercise routine or in the midst of reading a good book when suddenly the thought comes out of the blue, jarring and unsettling, "I live in an age where all women are essentially worthless sluts." Sometimes I hate TRP for opening my eyes.

GridReXX · 2015-11-17T02:31:20+00:00

I learned the world wasn't fair at a young age. And that the world owes you nothing. I am curious what differs between people who know this and people who do not...is it their environment? (aka upbringing) or genetics? Or both.

I have the impression that experienced red pillers think of #2 as the anger phase, while most anger phase guys over at /TRP seem to fall into the #1 category.

IMO it's because number two is just a fantasy. Unsuccesful guys fanasize about becoming succesfull by being an asshole, and then becoming angry about it, because this would justify the way they currently feel. It's just like PUA.

Or really any other field where you can be rejected and claim it's because the person doing the rejecting doesn't know what s/he really needs.

Xemnas81 · 2015-11-17T03:27:53+00:00

Agreed. I am definitely in the no. 1 category

exit_sandman · 2015-11-17T06:20:05+00:00

You are miserable and lonely. You read about or recognize TRP stuff all around you and eventually you get angry.

Angry at what?

You are missing out on an important part of life.

You already estabilished him as "miserable and lonely". I think he already realizes he's missing out.

I've noticed a couple of guys here say I seem naturally post-anger redpill but I experienced a strange sort of anger when I went from being a fat kid to lifting, get muscles and noticed how much better people treat me, just based on looks. I became really distrusting of typical popular koolkids even if they liked me. I never really experienced any sort of anger phase at learning life isn't fair (never believed it), but I think what I felt falls under your number two.

I no longer really care, but I'm probably more tolerant of people who are different or have a problem of some sort.
