Women are not our enemies, they are their own enemies and we are there to help them help us.

This is an analysis of The Red Pill after lurking for long time and commenting only recently. In order to prove my point, I will use my own experiences as a person with variable SMV, I have been 280 pounds at 36BF%, 190 pounds at around 12BF% and 225 at around 14BF%, with varying levels in between over the past 4 years.

Some people on this site think they are being “alpha” by acting a certain way, by hating women and by lifting. This is not the philosophy behind TRP. This world is far from being black and white and so is the art of interacting with women. We must strike a balance between blue and red tendencies if we are to be fulfilled as human beings. We must learn when to be Red pill and when to let it slide, but never backtrack and always say what you think. This is the basis of frame.

The Friend-Zone is defined as “A state of being where a male inadvertently becomes a 'platonic friend' of an attractive female who he was trying to initiate a romantic relationship. Females have been rumoured to arrive in the Friend Zone, but reports are unsubstantiated.” -Urban Dictionary

I am not really one to consider the “friend-zone” as a realistic absolute principle, it is merely a transition spanning days to years where your actions will define the ultimate direction of the relationship. I live on the principal that all male-female relationships need some kind of attraction, and all of my female friends are at least a 6/10. If I am not planning on turning that particular friend into a plate, I will occasionally take her on kind of date, but I will use her connections to meet new girls. Many members of our community will shun female friends if you aren’t sleeping with them, but I find there is a lot to be learned from female friends.

A great example of a good female friend would be a girl who is smart, talkative, interesting and has a wide group of contacts, likes to party and isn’t interested in being in a LTR with you. These types of women will shit test you less, since they are with you for male company and possibly access to your contact network. I must put emphasis on the mutual benefit of this type of relationship, this must not be one sided, on her side or yours. One-sided relationships are bad for both parties, because they lead to jealousy and more shit-tests, which you and I both don’t want.

A concept that must be very clear in Male-Female mutual-benefit relationships is that you must never lose frame, you must ace shit tests when they appear and you must absolutely speak your mind. Say everything you want to say and do everything you want to do, this is how you get where you want in life and how people start respecting you for who you are. Nobody, I repeat, Nobody likes a suck-up. Also, by saying what you think, you avoid going into the hamstering mode that many guys on our forums delve in when they start thinking about their responses. I have had more success with both sexes, women in particular while saying whatever the fuck I wanted when I wanted and not backing off from controversial topics. You are not pretending to hold frame, you are the damned frame.

Escalating in a friendly relationship is something that many guys have trouble doing. Thats because you are doing it wrong. You don’t ask permission to kiss her if you feel like it, you do it. You don’t hesitate to push further when she asks for a massage, you go all in. However, I would advise against escalating if you are not planning on going the whole nine yards, because this could hurt your standing with her and her group of contacts. There should always be some kind of sexual tension in this particular kind of relationship, this keeps things interesting for her and more importantly, you. This can be achieved with casual flirting and very light kino. Be the guy she talks to her female friends about and give yourself a great reputation.

This text is getting long winded, so I’ll finish it off with a final comment:

Do what you want when you want, you are the blacksmith forging your own fate.

tl;dr : Read it.

EDIT: I put my personal description at the bottom since I felt like I was gloating and did not want it to divert from the content of the post.
