This is directed to the other team who claim that TRP is unreasonable mostly based off the anger phase rants on the sub and straw-man interpretations of our PPD glossary. Have any of you actually read the core texts??? If yes, I ask you to speak out about your opinions on them.

I will have a post coming soon for my assessment of No More Mr Nice Guy on Punching Morpheus. For the time being, let's focus on Rational Male Year One, which I've gone to efforts to summarise in a single mini-essay. I'm about 2/3 of the way through, and aside from Qualities of the Prince which was deliberately hyperbole, and perhaps the LDR one (although that's more my feels over realz for personal reasons), I've found it to be fantastic at explaining RP theory. I will be editing this post as my understanding of unread chapters expands.

Look I know you're going to say I'm just Rollo's parrot/puppet, and I realise I haven't put any personal opinion on the concepts...so I encourage you to pick him apart and say everything that is wrong (and right of course) about Year One. Imo it's bang-on for the post-modern liberal West in the 3rd wave of feminism: that means USA, UK, and most of Western Europe.

edit: You'll have noticed I've particularly tried to explain the Hypergamy section, which covers a lot. From my understanding, this that is 'bio-truths' is the difference between No More Mr Nice Guy (which focusses on Nice Guy problems), MRAs (which accept the feminine imperative as a social convention) and pure Redpill. Perhaps it deserves its own post.

Without further ado [not yet chronologically ordered]

  • ONE Basics:

i) Explanation of Oneitis

ii) AF/BB

iii) Social Matching Theory

iv) the Desire principle (another way of saying Attraction is Amoral)

v) General power dynamics and the subtly adversarial nature of erotic desire i.e. 'romance'

The most painful for someone who thought that relationships could ever be entirely innocent. Killing off the Women are Wonderful effect.

  • TWO Plate theory, including

a) plate theory for women

b) abundance mentality

c) why women prefer to be plated by an Alpha than committed to a Beta i.e. the need for options

etc.

  • THREE Plugged-In: Myriad issues with Beta Game, the psychological schema which holds them back and keeps them in passive aggressive, covert contracts.

i) Nice Guys ™

ii) Captain Save a Ho'

iii) LDRs, White Knighting

iv) the Friendzone or LJBF back door

v) and the driving force for these: the feminine imperative, including manipulation of chivalric duties re: masculine honour (AKA Man Up, Be a Man etc.)

  • FOUR Unplugging: Complex but essentially about swallowing the pill, letting it go down, letting the idealism die before the rough bits start. Key points:

i) Women will never truly appreciate what you do, only in its absence is it appreciated, and if it's absent you're a Jerk (™)

ii) Just Be Yourself fallacy

Edit for later

  • FIVE Game: Issues with beta game and the advice women give. Just Be Yourself. The Pheromonal Beta on testosterone and fapping before (pseudo-science?) Dread Game. Explanation of Male SMV. (I am yet to read thee strikes or meta game)

  • SIX Communication: Key points

i) Women expect you to "just get" how to be alpha. To ask is to kill desire, natural alphas intuitively know or come to understand before engaging in relations with this woman.

ii) Watch what women do not what they say.

iii) The issues with female entitlement, and how the feminine imperative skews this so that it's only unreasonable when women want it, with a hyperbolic example from online dating.

  • SEVEN Social Conventions: One of the more useful for me, ways in which the Feminine Imperative tries to keep you plugged in.

i) Operative social conventions-E.g. the 'shallow' effect, feminist shaming tactics (relates to masculine honour), usage of the feminine mystique, social escape clauses and double standards, ways to eliminate competition, how feminism is trying to emasculate men as a massive shit test.

ii) Average Frustrated Chump social conventions: Myth of the 'quality' woman unlike all the other 'whores' out there, myth of the 'dodged bullet' and avoiding serial monogamy with the 'fear of STI' excuse, Charge of Superficiality [Redpill only applies to slutty girls in clubs, good girls everywhere else], "I'm not like Other Guys" and how every beta thinks this

iii) The Paradox of Commitment: Shaming tactic to force men to commit and never leave. Charge of being a misogynist for doing so, etc.

  • EIGHT Hypergamy: I am yet to read in full but from what I understand, apart from what you should already know, this is the actually controversial 'bio-troofs' bit so I'll go in-depth on this one, post below in the comments and maybe make a thread all of its own. The other stuff, if I'm really honest, I think most women and BPers want betas/Nice Guys/white knights to change, as it somewhat serves the feminine imperative iygm! YMMV, discuss below.

Brace yourselves:

i) The Disposables

Key historical points,

  • men (sperm) disposable), women (egg) preserved+protected.

  • Patriarchy theory consolidates this: disposability rationalised through 'masculine honour' (chivalry).

  • Because it's so socially ingrained, women have difficulty truly appreciating these sacrifices that men make, they take them for granted (more on why next)

ii) War Brides [moved up here from Feminine Imperative as seemed more relevant]

  • Explanation of female solipsism (self-interest, can see it in this very thread lol) as evolutionary adaptation? Claims of larger hippocampus, limbic brain etc. making women's brains more emotional. (Neurologists come at me bro)

  • Historically women, being more emotional, can empathise greatly with children and other's needs to aid in a maternal, nurturing society; however this is problematic when the tribe comes under attack. It is a necessity (and this is where anger phasers get confused) that women are 'bitches' about betas, because if they (females) die then that's an egg gone, i.e. the human race is fucked. OTOH, sperm is replaceable and expendable, plus men are physically stronger.

  • Because of this, women have evolved to

a) Have a deeper emotional bond with their children than their partner

b) Have something akin to a 'Stockholm Syndrome' where they've the ability to cut emotional ties with their old mate in the event of his death in battle with or slaughter by another tribe, and then come to empathise and bond with the new captor who killed/executed her old mate!

In modern practice, this means

a) Women+children first i.e. Chivalry

b) Women get over breakups quicker-and often rationalise through the solipsistic mind that 'the ex' was an abusive asshole, or couldn't fulfil her needs, etc. (disproportionately, as I understand some men CAN be abusers, etc.) ->

c) Women are generally 'emotionally stronger', and so can overcome other forms of psychological trauma quicker than men, despite how men would have it seem . [Questions for Rollo: why so many women diagnosed with mental illness then?]

Consider that due to Chivalry and 'gender roles', women get more support from society anyway.

Rollo states, and this is a huge amount of the vitriol that TRP receives, that women dislike this discussion of their very ancient, emotional minds, hence why 'bio-troofs' is considered so misogynist. He stresses that it is POSSIBLE for women to overcome solipsism and hypergamous urges, but it is a battle against both social conventions and nature. The best way a man can mitigate its havoc is to maintain Alpha statuses best he can.

If you take anything away from this lesson, let it be this: SOLIPSISM=SURVIVAL STRATEGY. -> perhaps a reason women are so keen to call men 'bitter misogynists'?

I'm on the fence. I'm going to need some STEM experts, neurologists, or a psych. to get this ironed out.

iii) Mrs. Hyde AKA AF/BB Pt. 2

Key points:

  • Peak SMV (Youth/Beauty/Fertlity, 18-30 apx.) Alpha Fucks for good genes

    Approaching the Wall (30s/40s) and lowering SMV-> Beta Bucks for comfort and provisioning/emotional security of self and thereby child

Translation: Fuck hot Chad Thundercock in high school/college party years, 'mature' in their aspirations and settle down with a financially stable nice guy they once overlooked for marriage to raise a family (bonus points if he's no longer a Nice Guy™)

  • Most women want the best of both, i.e. Alpha Bucks, both for ego reasons and also optimal hypergamy. However most aren't high enough SMV for this to work in practice. More often than not, average women cannot get sexy exciting Chad to commit, only to fuck her; likewise, she doesn't want to viscerally fuck Nice Guy Ned, but he's a really nice, good guy and good daddy material, so in practice she may come to 'fall in love' with him and thus sleep with him in the context of an LTR/marriage.

  • The old Alpha=Good/Sexy, Beta=Bad/Not Sexy chestnut. NO NO you misunderstand.

Alpha=Exciting, fun, dominant, free spirit, unpredictable, impulsive, challenging

Beta=Comfort, security, protection, compassion, kindness, warmth, generosity, empathy, selflessness, sacrifice etc.

Alpha=Excitement (to prepare her to fuck like a bat out of hell), Beta=Comfort (to make her feel safe)

Or Alpha=Hot, Beta=Sweet.

Whatever floats your boat. Just don't make out Beta is all shit, if you want to look at lazy, smelly, stupid, boring etc. we're in the Omega's negative SMV territory.

Moving on

  • Husbands understand this. Women CAN and DO switch between these-it's not an instant shift, but it's a noticeable one

The 2 most common reasons for a woman to shift from BB back to AF

i) Older women: Divorce

ii) Younger women: Weight loss/makeover

As you can see both of these often result in higher SMV for women, thus hypergamy and solipsism is likely to kick in. The reverse would kick in in the event of weight gain, or reduced interest from other men, etc.

  • AF/BB, like Solipsism and Hypergamy, is genetic

Week before ovulation=Craving to mate for high testosterone man (translation: Alpha)-> Likely to cheat on beta or BB during this time, usually when drunk

Period (Time of the Month)=Wants low T beta to look after her, who due to his reduced test. levels is unlikely to cheat on her thus abandon her baby. Likely to seem very in love with the beta who's sweetest to her at this time

  • Social conventions to stop betas from unplugging (see the other sections for more)

a) Just Be Yourself b) Looks Don't Matter That Much Just Be Confident

(translation: work on beta comfort traits and you'll be a great beta provider one day, in the meantime get out of my way I'm going to bang Chad)

c) Man Up/Be a Man/A Real Man™ (translation: bitter betas, yes I ignored you for Chad but opting out of the SMP and going MGTOW is not acceptable; put down your video games/Netflix stash and work on those goddamn beta traits like a Real Man™!)

  • Some basic social conventions to cause women to re-think cheating on beta and 'fight the Hypergamous Hamster' etc.: cultural morals, religion/faith, appeal to virtue. Also, relational equity (BUT not as much as you'd think, see section below)

  • Myth of 'Quality' Woman that Bluepill men always fall for

Your gf is both a Good Girl AND a Whore (cf. Madonna/Whore complex) Different ovulation phases, different hypergamic conditions, different SMV levels=different mating strategies.

  • Conclusion: Rollo suggests to young men:

a) 18-30=Work on Aesthetics and Game, Spin plates (date many girls, don't commit)

IRL translation from a Redpill dad: 'Son you're too young to worry about settling down with the One, enjoy your youth, go out, have fun and make lots of friends, maybe you'll meet someone nice-I met lots of nice and cool girls before finding your mom'

b) DON'T engage in monogamy until you are unplugged, have experience of the SMP and Women as an AF/AB, so you understand what Alpha City as I like to call it is like, and how Hypergamy works. He recommends not committing until around age 30.

c) AWALT=Treat all guns as loaded. Remember Hypergamy+Redpill theory at all times, it's always part of women's nature. Even your wife.

iv) Hypergamy Doesn't Care: This is literally just one of those depressing nihilistic 'swallowing the pill' reads where Rollo stresses that AF/BB and Hypergamy are amoral strategies, and Solipsism will afterwards rationalise (AKA 'hamster') why they're OK/morally acceptable. The idea is to help men understand that it's not the indecipherable 'women's logic', it's quite simple to understand once you unplug…And yes it is depressing.

[more posts to add here]

vi?) Of Love and War/ Iron Rule No. 6, about how women love opportunistically relative to hypergamy

viii) Women and Regret: How regret is rationalised, and understanding that women are in far greater value than men, so they will always get over you quicker than you them (not to mention the fact that your feelings are invalidated i.e. She is Not Your Shoulder to Cry On)

  • NINE Iron Rules of Tomassi. A post I REALLY need to read in full but some of the important rules
  1. Frame

  2. Never reveal partner count

  3. If a woman isn't going crazy for you, don't wait for her to put out, she's not interested, Next

  4. Don't co-habitate prematurely

  5. CONTROVERSIAL: Don't let a woman control the birth (can suggest this is right, from experience of my sister controlling the birth)

  6. Again, women love opportunistically. Men are encouraged to love idealistically by chivalry, the feminine imperative and romanticising Oneitis in culture and pop-culture. (E.g. listen to the Charts music, all boy bands with Oneitis)

  7. Once it's over it's over. It will never be the same again so don't try and save it (can confirm)

8 and 9) Never self-deprecate, never let a woman realise you're not as Alpha as you think, let her find out for herself. You are supposed to Just get It. (Essentially extensions of Frame)

  • TEN Mythology that betas believes

i) Myth of the Lonely Old Man: Post-Wall women shaming MGTOW types to re-enter SMP as BB or they'll die lonely and depressed. No apologies for riding the cock carousel with AFs in youth

ii) Women are not as sexual as men, they can get it easier, but they have lower T on average. A woman will never be as desperate for you to have sex with her, s you are for her

iii) Good Girls: Extension of Madonna/Whore complex. There is not a woman on the planet who is a goody-two-shoes and does not occasionally have visceral desire for an alpha. She will pretend to be the NAWALT unicorn but AWALT. This is particularly the game of SMV 6-8 women, so 'cute girls', Girls Next Door but not stunners (edit for better explanation) Learn Amused Mastery to beat her at her own game

iv) The Myth of the Female Biological Clock: Belief that women can't conceive after 30, so any man who wants a chance should jump in then. Reality: Optimal time to conceive is indeed her party years. Strategy to manipulate formerly rejected men into being a BB, and shame alphas as 'poor father figures'? (Somebody disprove this as pseudoscience if you want)

v) Looks Count. Self-explanatory, but remember most women will say "looks don't matter that much". Translation: I have determined whether you are Alpha or Beta material, if you're a nice guy [note not Nice Guy (™) ] but beta you can wait to have me until I need a BB, I can't say this because I'll look like a shallow bitch so I'll say work on your personality. Bonus for me is you'll do that so I'll have a better BB in my later years yay go me!

vi) SMV in Girl World: How feminism is trying to eliminate the Wall and never let men have the advantage.

a) Women can make money="this makes us more attractive"-> emulate male SMV post-Wall

b) Women no longer needy money=shift up Maslow hierarchy of needs from financial security to luxury of aesthetics=Men getting objectified looks-wise more than ever, women's standards rising. Objectification as shaming tactic/deflection of this

c) Unplugged or savvy beta men opting out pissed off with the CC and AF/BB, going MGTOW, efforts by women to make them 'man up' and become good BBs

  • ELEVEN The Feminine Imperative/Feminine Primacy

i) The Patriarchy fallacy: Make men believe they have more power than evolution truly gives sperm. Claim 'men are historical oppressors, women are historical victims, this continues in our post-modern liberal world' Media indoctrinates men into this, inb4 TRP is a cult

ii) The Feminine Mystique: AKA 'women's logic' 'bitchez be cray' 'women, huh? guess we'll never understand them' etc. (literally got to unplug a bodybuilder AF over this yesterday, venture forth son of Brodin :D )

How women esp. high SMV women exploit the ambiguity of their words to capitalise on hypergamy (remember: pre-rational imperatives, she thinks men are supposed to Just Get It and have been educated this way, at least Hot Guys; not necessarily malicious manipulation)

iii) Anti-Slut Defence

iv) Women don't even have to try to be sexy, such is the dual-bind of traditionalist+feminist SMP

v) Women want a guy who COULD cheat, but doesn't on her because she's that desirable, AKA Ego-centric Hypergamy. Women love a man aware of his own value. Hence why women hate betas and nice guys (passive doormats not manipulative/entitled bros) so much

vi) Could A Man Have Written This? How feminism is trying to invalidate men's experience through Patriarchy Theory, making women's perspective the default and only accepted reality of the SMP.

vi) [War Brides explained above, see Hypergamy: Stockholm Syndrome]
