Folks,

This is my first contribution ever and I am using it to thank the TRP community:

Through the application of a mindset focused on continuous self-improvement, I have grown immeasurably over the course of the last year.

I freely admit that I have always been a man who sought validation at every turn and this has historically made me vulnerable to the particularly heinous emotional trauma that goes along with losing the favour of a significant other. Like many others I came to this community angry, chagrined, and desperate for answers as to just what in the fuck is wrong with women and how could I better prepare myself to deal with them.

While I still find women to be incredibly difficult creatures, my overall success rate has improved and I have become far better at accepting rejection when it does come. True satisfaction that comes from within can’t be taken away from you at somebody else’s whim.

The Reward: I am currently enjoying the exciting initial stages and sex of a fledgling relationship with an extremely accomplished woman who is an easy 9/10. The level of engagement, passion, and mutual attraction is something that I have never really felt before…. and I am in the driver’s seat. I can safely say that this would never have happened if I had not committed myself to getting better.

I am still choking on the pill but the insight and motivation that I have gained to date has been life-altering for the better. I will close this with some words of advice that we’ve all heard before but are worth repeating:

-You know that nagging in your mind always telling you to make more friends? Pick up another hobby? Start a business? Kiss the girl? JUST DO IT. Even if you fail, you have learned from the experience and the satisfaction of just having tried WILL feel good.

-Although lifting seems to be gospel around here, I would extend this to cover fitness in general. It is completely unacceptable to be a sedentary slob. We are men, we are built for destruction, fucking act like it! I promise that your life will improve.

-Surround yourself with similarly motivated people and develop each-other. The positive feedback loop of good feels WILL improve your life.

-Porn and video games have the potential to hold you back from greatness.

-Do and excel at things for the love of doing them, not because you think it will make you more appealing to women.

Thanks!
