Before I even knew TRP concept, I have figured out and applied most of it's guidelines, simply by observation and trial and error. My f-close count is above a hundred including 8s and some 9s. In the past I've also had stretches of years at the time of no dating at all. That was because at some point I'd start feeling that women are just not worth it and that I have better things to do.

Here's the key to the whole thing that applies to many guys out there including me. I'm educated, well read, in-demand profession, I dress reasonably well (almost exclusively Hugo Boss), I'm taller than average and in top 5-10% fitness wise (lifting) throughout most of my life. My background gave me a strong basis for game - teasing and stuff just came naturally to me. Unfortunately I also have average at best face and bald (shaved) head (started losing hair in early 20s). For almost every single woman that I've closed I had to work hard. I've noticed that guys lesser than me in almost every single way, except they had nicer face and hair, could pull chicks with little to no effort. I've made my peace with my shortcomings a long time ago, because in the end all that extra effort made me the man I am today, but the fact still remains and at times it's just difficult to reconcile it with what TRP teaches. I am all those things and in return when I put in the work all I get is some average chick who is poor and stupid.

I constantly try to improve myself. I progress my career, I push myself harder at the gym, I learn to play a guitar, I do XYZ, but all those things seem to barely move the needle. On a related note, me and my friend have an internal joke - we keep count of how many "teslas" (top of the line Tesla Model S) we've wasted on women - basically all the effort, time, resources and opportunity cost. His last girlfriend alone cost him 0.5 tesla.

Anyone else feeling the same way?
