Humans are flawed beings. Even the most logical mind is subject to emotion and hormones.
A RedPill man sets standards and holds people accountable. His friends, his family, his girls, and his self. Set a high bar when it matters, but recognize and accommodate humanity's built in flaws.
Do not reject a girl for being a girl. All women shit test. All women are hypergamous. "AWALT" isn't just some pithy dismissive slur, it is an acknowledgement that we must expect and learn how to handle these behaviors.
The same holds for your male friends. All guys lose frame. All guys grant pussy passes. Even when we know better. No matter how disciplined or devoted, you are fighting not only social conditioning, but also your own natural instinct. That ain't easy!
By all means, draw a line. Decide what level of these behaviors are acceptable. Know when to say enough is enough. This is essential. A man sets boundaries. Just make sure your standards are realistic. Tolerate some failure. It is inevitable.
TRP is a philosophy, not a religion. It is theory and knowledge, not rules and dogma. When I see someone comment: "That's a shit test, next her!" I can't help but roll my eyes. Zero tolerance is an express ticket to celibacy and friendlessness.
Finally, learn to forgive your own failings. We all make mistakes. Some you learn from. Awesome. But many times, you already knew the lesson. You just slipped up. Shrug it off. You don't have to be perfect to succeed.
