Swallowed the pill almost a year ago after I was BP and dated a girl for 4 years. Proceeded to bang and plate around 25 girls. Doing this taught me a lot about how relationships and women inherently work.

I basically don't know anybody that is 'RP'. I'm surrounded by a whole bunch of beta friends, colleagues, co workers, roommates, etc.

It drives me insane when I hear people around me talking about strategizing how to 'talk to a girl they like', wondering if a girl they're fantasizing about is seeing anybody (answer: they always are), seeing close friends lock themselves in long term relationships with the first girl that sucks their dick, seeing friends try to force relationships with any random girl goes out with them off tinder.

My basic mentality is that I've worked hard to raise my SMV, and while I value meaningful relationships with women, I can afford to be choosy in the sense that I may only considering an LTR with a girl after a considerable amount of time (6+ months) and if she checks off absolutely everything on my massive laundry list of green flags.

It feels really weird when nobody I know can remotely relate to my perception on relationships. With the few friends that I usually discuss my thoughts on women with, I usually get labeled an 'asshole with unrealistic expectations' and/or 'manipulative'.

Anybody else have this problem?
