Why is it so hard to internalize RP?

You can't see yourself as the prize if you have no reason to. Faking it until making it only goes so far. Do you go to the gym? Do you have interesting hobbies? Do you do well financially? Are you highly educated? The more you invest in yourself the more of a prize you become. Even if a fat 25 year old professional WoW player thinks he's the prize he still won't be seen that way. Change yourself and your perception of yourself will change with you.

TRP isn't about seeing yourself as the prize. It's about actually becoming the prize. It's a long road of self improvement. Towards the beginning, all you get is a dream.

Have you ever loved someone or something so much you would do anything for them? Yeah well make that person yourself and do whatever the hell you want. This is the way i have started to view life, You are the prize. As long as your are not a complete dumb ass, employed ,reasonable shape and can read the world is your oyster. But the best thing about being a man is that even if you are don't have a job even if your fat even if your dumb you have the ability to change it. You are both the sculptor and the marble. Its gonna hurt but you sculpt yourself into the man you want to be, that man will be impressive and of high value then you are the prize. The red pill is as much about self improvement as it is realizing the world is not how it appears to be. Also throwing game at bitches.

Think of it as a painting. For years, yours has had some desperate pussy-worshipping dude painted on it. But now you've decided, fuck that desperate dude, I'm painting over it with white, and then drawing a happy stick figure with a giant dick over that shit.

You know the stick figure is an improvement, even if the DesperationGravure was a masterpiece of realism for its time. And it's easy to see why - the women. When they meet you and realize that's what your inner picture is, they get giggly and love it.

This "painting" is what TRP calls "your frame". Keep it simple to start, completely erase the old and put that ridiculous stickman on there for now. Learn to love him and insist there's no other you, then you start slowly adding select bits and pieces to your stickman to render a completely new picture of yourself.

To quote The Matrix (as is also found on the homepage of The Rational Male)

Neo: "Why do my eyes hurt?"

Morpheus: "You've never used them before."

Knowledge really is Power.

You need to continue to repeat the patterns of thought that Red Pill "exposes" as truth over and over and over.

At some point the strength of your "mental muscle" will be strong enough to see truth without the Blue Pill handicap.

Train yourself with discipline.

Repeat:

Men love women, women love children, children love puppies.

You're in a bad place right now, your mind is probably working against you. In times like those I find it's best to take time off so you can mentally recharge. Go Monk Mode, spend some time reading. Wait until your mind frees itself from the negativity you're naturally going to feel.

It's hard to feel like a winner immediately after a break-up or a divorce. You probably just need time before you can properly internalize your self-worth again.

Because initially your sense of having esoteric knowledge that the vast majority of the population doesn't have makes you feel like you have value, and this sense of elitism combined with crude application of TRP concepts+game can yield success with women.

The problem is that this success you experience can positively reinforce not working on yourself, and then eventually you will hit a plateau and then all of your physical and emotional neglect will seem to fall on you at once.

If you look at personality as a series of habits, it's hard to change one habits, it's really a lot harder to change an entire set of habits; especially when the entire world is still suggesting that BP habits are the norm.

Give it time, keep on reading and practicing, new habits will form.

Why is it so hnard to internalize RP?

Its so counter to how I've lived my life and been taught for 25 years

You've answered your own question.

It takes years of actually changing your physical body, the skills you know and your level of income PLUS your habits to actually be of value and therefore internalize the red pill, which includes spotting exploitation & fraud all around you and avoiding pitfalls. Until you've done that, you aren't that, which is the source of why you'd think you need to DO things FOR a woman to impress her because BEING something impressive is simply not an option.

Not yet.

bullyfootrookie · 2015-02-20T14:40:39+00:00

It's not going to get solved overnight. You need to have more of an abundance mentality to get to a point where you're not going out of your way to impress these women and that only comes with a lot of time and practice. Undoing 25 years of blue pill behaviour won't be easy. Put your head down and keep working at it.

Suggestion: you may want to start out in semi MGTOW mode to focus on rebuilding yourself physically and mentally. Make it all about you for a change. Lift, read, get hobbies, take a trip by yourself and reflect. It sounds like your focus has been on pleasing women for a LONG time.

After you've done this for a little while, add women to your list of hobbies. No pressure, just something you like to do for fun.

Good luck.

You have low self-esteem. Read The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem and come back and post.

Because you don't want to.

People would rather believe that whatever they think, has to be right. I mean, you're not an idiot right? The idea that you could be wrong about such important stuff is a huge beating of the ego.

So do you want to be right, or do you want to be happy?>

drop_it_now · 2015-02-20T03:49:49+00:00

I don't have any explicit answer, but there is a clear cause. Nowadays we have been brainwashed and lied to for our whole lives and deprogramming those instincts is not easy. At first it seems counter-intuitive, but once you see how it actually works and notice real example after real example it gets better. Those lingering remnants of BP ideology start to fade over time.

Do the behavior, observer people interact, see it work and then accept that side(which is currently hidden) of reality.

These are all teoretical concepts until you see them work. It's like reading a scientology pamflet, you need to be have at least a couple of screws loose to believe this shit just because you read it. But try it out and be amased.
