Since I internalized the pill, there's been marked improvement in my life. My roommate who's relatively BP but is curious about the increase in my fortunes always asks me questions about girls, lifting etc.

Last night he went out and by his own admission beta'd out. This morning as we were having a debrief he let out this one nugget of BP wisdom:

Roommate: I feel like I'm always too nice to girls. For example after she's left I always make sure to ask if she got home safe

Me: Why? Are you her father?

Roommate: No but it's something I was told to always do.

Me: Who told you that?

Roommate: My mother... *cue realization

This interaction was just an example of how a lot of BP conditioning comes from our mothers. For the most part I'm sure they mean well but they actually end up fucking us up more than they understand. The next time you think about something your mom told you to re: female interaction, just remember it's probably BP advice.
