Okay, I’ve been struggling with how, or even if, this fits in with MRP ... so I’m just going to ask and risk being called an Uber-fag. How does MRP celebrate Valentine’s Day, apart from playing hide-the-sausage? What are some activities that don’t scream I’m-a-needy-beta?

Update: I thought I'd post an update. I didn't want to do dinner because it's too big of a statement. So, I arranged lunch at a favourite restaurant instead. This morning I said "I'd like to take you to a mystery lunch." She immediately said yes, and so we went to lunch. Wife has been cool with me for a long time now, and the lunch was no different. Still polite and pleasant but there's no warmth. It started to get to me during the meal and towards the end I really wanted to ask her where our relationship was going. In the back of my mind I kept hearing STFU, STFU, STFU!

So that's what I did. I kept my mouth close, had a nice lunch and went back to work after lunch. I had some lingering bitterness over the situation, which I worked it out at the iron temple after work.

In the end I achieved what I wanted to do which was to say that I care without appeasement or neediness. Small steps. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions and guidance, especially u/Balls_Wellington_ u/part_wolf and u/ancient_resistance ... that thread really helped me sort out my head.

I don't know why I need to say this.. but it seems to be a prevailing thought with newer people;

Being nice to your wife does not equal being a beta pussy. Also... being a dick to her does not make you an alpha wolf.

Lead for christ sake cause you want to.. (if you do).. take her out somewhere nice or whatever the fuck you want to do but plan it all.

God damn headcases in here.

Speaking for myself, it's not at all obvious how to be nice to my wife without also being a beta pussy. I've literally always done the former because of the latter.

My frame is paper-thin. I have only the faintest glimpses of the real man I am behind all the layers of fear and insecurity, and what he really wants. All my motives are suspect.

Lead for christ sake cause you want to.. (if you do)..

Straight up, I don't know if I actually want to or not. So I'm not doing anything for Valentine's Day.

[–]rocknrollchuck8 points9 points  (2 children) | Copy

You probably don't have the frame at this point to do nothing and it turn out alright. Be a Skittles man instead.

Neo: Why do my eyes hurt?

Morpheus: You've never used them before.

Here's a few more for you to chew on - this is what I've personally found to be the most helpful in my journey.

[–]stay_plan_is_go_plan[S] 1 point2 points  (11 children) | Copy

The question wasn’t so much about whether to be nice to the wife or not, but rather about the underlying motivations. Granted I didn’t phrase the question in that way. As I mentioned else where, I’ve always felt conflicted by Valentine’s largely because many women feel entitled to be spoilt on the day. Doing something for those reasons (appeasement) has always made me feel crap.

Doing something nice because i want to feels like a better approach.

[–]RoccoPinkman1 point2 points  (10 children) | Copy

Your taking Valentine’s Day way to seriously maybe if you gave less of a fuck about you’d....well.......not give a fuck.

Valentine’s Day is for fucking teenagers, I’ll buy my girlfriend a card then let her suck my dick while I watch top gun on repeat

Go do something fun. Lead her. Plan an adventure on something you both will enjoy where you handle logistics, babysitting, $$, reservations, etc. Go ice skating, hiking, to the zoo, whatever. Get out of the normal.

Why? Because this shit is supposed to be fun. And a gigantic part of why most of the noobs that come here can’t get laid is because they aren’t any damn fun anymore. They have become boring, stale, fat faggots.

Just don’t make it a covert contract, i.e. if I take her hiking, she will have great sex with me tonight. Don’t go to the other end of the autism spectrum and announce that you have no expectations either. Just be a normal, fun dude who isn’t bothered by petty shit and see where the day takes you.

Why should you be responsible to handle everything then, you ask? Because you want it done right. Just make sure it looks effortless. 48LOP style. Panties will moisten and maybe even drop or get pulled to the side.

This ain’t that fucking hard.

Yes, but concepts of passion, mission, and abundance are foreign to most here.

You can't have Frame without outcome independence and you can't be OI without abundance.

Asking other men for instructions surely is the most alpha move.

In all seriousness, it's fine to take a day to spoil your wife, if you want to. Just do it because it is fun for you, not to earn her approval.

[–]part_wolf6 points7 points  (16 children) | Copy

Guys, wife asked me to build a fire in the bedroom fireplace on Valentine's Day. What should I do if she shows up wearing the lingerie I gave her to wear?

[–]stay_plan_is_go_plan[S] 3 points4 points  (15 children) | Copy

We could discuss favourite boy-bands and then I could show her some photos from the photo album my mother gave me!

[–]part_wolf2 points3 points  (14 children) | Copy

Troll away, dude. Your question is not going to help you get laid.

[–]stay_plan_is_go_plan[S] 2 points3 points  (13 children) | Copy

I don’t have any expectation of getting laid ... I just want to be able to look in the mirror and feel good about what I see. At the moment getting that far is hard enough.

[–]part_wolf1 point2 points  (12 children) | Copy

Now we’re getting somewhere. What part of that has anything to do with Valentine’s Day?

[–]stay_plan_is_go_plan[S] 2 points3 points  (11 children) | Copy

I feel like there’s an expectation on Valentine’s Day ... that I need to make the woman happy usually with some grand romance-novel type gesture; declarations of undying love, soul mates until the end of time ... etc.

And I’ve played this script real well but it’s done me no favours. I end up feeling used and after all the declarations of undying love my relationship is struggling.

I’m looking for a different perspective. My original question was badly phrased ... a better question would be “how can I show my wife that she means something to me without losing sight of myself at the same time?”

And it might seem like a stupid and obvious question but I’m so use to keeping everyone else happy (the perfect son for my parents, the perfect dad to my kids, the perfect employee to my boss, the perfect husband for my wife) that I literally don’t know how to keep me happy. And I’m sick of it.

[–]ancient_resistanceShit coming out my eyeballs2 points3 points  (6 children) | Copy

“how can I show my wife that she means something to me without losing sight of myself at the same time?”

I'm a clueless fucktard new to MRP so beware of the possibility of flying bullshit. I might be doing this for approval, but I think this might help you, so fuck it, here goes.

I dread v-day for the same reasons, that if I don't show some gesture, I will have transgressed some unwritten law of the universe, feeling both a desire and obligation to show appreciation, never sure how to sort it out.

Here's what I did, which is working, so far, better than years past.

My wife has a sprained ankle. She's a homeschooling SAHM. The woman works her fucking ass off, usually with a good attitude. Reading through sidebar stuff, and HornsOfApathy's post history, I got in touch with the part of me that genuinely appreciates her for that. Yesterday I surprised her with a "get well soon" balloon, some flowers, and a slice of chocolate cake. Nothing crazy, no epic love poems, nothing even directly romantic at all. Just a gesture of kindness from a friend to a friend.

She flipped her shit. I haven't seen her that happy in a long time. She told me how much it brightened her day at least 3 times. And I feel great. I did it because I wanted to, not because some bullshit contrived holiday said I should.

With that, I feel much better about not doing anything special for v-day. She knows I care about her, and I won't give up my dignity doing dancing monkey bullshit. At least, I think. After all, I still have shit coming out my eyeballs.

Best of luck.

[–]HornsOfApathyMod / Red Beret3 points4 points  (0 children) | Copy

Women know of covert contracts before we do. They smell them from a mile away. They have a gift for this.

When they dont smell bullshit, they are surprised, especially if you do it over and over again.

That is a man's gift to the world. To cut through all the bullshit and give his truth.

[–]part_wolf1 point2 points  (3 children) | Copy

It’s not about doing something incredibly special or doing nothing at all. My wife has been wanting a toaster oven for the kitchen for a while, so you know what I decided to get her? A fucking toaster oven.

The only thing that matters is that I wanted to get her a gift, so I did. It’s that simple - what do you want to do?

[–]ancient_resistanceShit coming out my eyeballs0 points1 point  (2 children) | Copy

It’s not about doing something incredibly special or doing nothing at all.

True.

what do you want to do?

Getting in touch with this is exactly the trick. I've blurred the line between my wants and hers so long I actually don't know what the fuck I want. They don't come much more blue-pill than me.

Sooo many times I've done something I "want" to do, only to find out post-hoc that I just made myself a tool again. I would rather do nothing than end up there, and I'm fine with that. As my frame grows I will get to know what I actually want, and act accordingly.

... but I think this might help you, so fuck it, here goes.

Thank you, that definitely does help. I feeling totally messed up by my social and cultural programming ... what I thought was up is now down, left is now right. And, to hear stories from fellow travelers definitely helps.

Glad things worked out well for you in this case.

[–]part_wolf0 points1 point  (3 children) | Copy

You need to start by reading the sidebar - No More Mr. Nice Guy first and foremost - and start lifting weights yesterday. If you do the exercises in the book and in the gym you’ll start to get the results you’re looking for.

[–]stay_plan_is_go_plan[S] 2 points3 points  (2 children) | Copy

You need to start by reading the sidebar ..

I have been and posting in the OYS threads, but I’m still finding my way. I read NMMNG a while ago and didn’t like it. I got more from WISNIFG. I’ll look at NMMNG again and see if I feel the same way.

[–]part_wolf0 points1 point  (1 child) | Copy

You have to do the exercises. If you didn’t like it, it’s probably because your ego is keeping you from dealing with your problems.

Putting it that way throws my question into a whole new light!

The answer I’ve been looking for. I’ve always been conflicted with Valentine’s Day but I’ve been doing things for the wrong reason. Thank you for helping me understand.

or avoid her scorn.

[–]Redrover8575 points6 points  (1 child) | Copy

I think you can do whatever the hell you want as long as it’s not a covert contract. If you want to buy her flowers then do it. If you have intrusive thoughts that say” this might get me laid” then fucking don’t.

It’s important to remember this woman is not your enemy.

[–]Octellius2 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy

It’s important to remember this woman is not your enemy.

and " or avoid her scorn. " from above.

Thanks.

For many guys, myself included 20 years of trench warfare later this is one of the hardest mental battles. If I do X, am I rewarding her past transgressions or defying my past weakness that allowed it, to cutting a new path, or is valentines day best renamed beta day. I feel like a need a vacation from my own mind.

I might do something very non conformative just to mix things up.

[–]AquitasVeritas6 points7 points  (2 children) | Copy

Skittles..

[–]NightFire451 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy

I actually buy her Skittles as a tradition because of this sub. She doesn't know that but it gives me a little chuckle. Also going anywhere on Valentine is the biggest pain in the ass so I definitely don't do that.

Why would you need to wait for some arbitrary day to be like every other sheeple and need to do something just because the greeting card industry needed a February campaign?

Stop being a sheep.

If you want to do something nice, use that as a juicy bite of carrot you can utilize to encourage good behavior.

Don't be a simp.

[–]Grimsterr2 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy

I don't do much, I'll grab her favorite food (crab legs) and cook us a nice meal and let her pick a movie she wants to watch and enjoy the chick flick without going MST3K on it.

Last year I bought my wife a trombone.

This year I bought her a taco pinata I'm filling with skittles.

I'm currently making a card that says "Happy V-day. We'll smash later."

While all the other non-creative faggots are running around buying flowers, chocolates, cards that say this (yes, I took a picture of this card today) with huge covert contracts to get laid that night.... I'm planning on being me. Unpredictable. Unashamed of my masculinity. Funny. That silly, stupid, exciting boy inside of me that I love - and my wife loves too.

If you're going to do something, do it your way. Doesn't matter what. Just be congruent.

[–]savageinthebox1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy

I’m taking my wife to our favorite restaurant then I’m gonna smash. Not buying her flowers, or presents, or asking 100 times what she wants to do like I used to. Reservations are made, babysitter is set. Good to go.

You overthought the shiiiiiiiiiit outta that lunch.

"I want to take her to lunch." End of thought. Line it up.

If you keep wanting to have lunch with her, and you keep not having a good time at lunch (and not because you're just sitting there like a fag waiting for various forms of validation to start spewing out her mouth...and you don't get it), then you'll probably stop wanting to take her to lunch. And so you won't.

Applies to literally every possible scenario, with every possible person on the planet.

[–]BarracudaRP1 point2 points  (1 child) | Copy

I really wanted to ask her where our relationship was going... I kept hearing STFU, STFU, STFU!

So that's what I did. I kept my mouth close

This surprised me. I honestly thought you were going to tell us you spewed verbal diarrhea over your date lunch, but instead you recognized your weakness in the moment, and kept your mouth shut. Good job. You're wisely choosing to build a better future for yourself, rather than seeking instant gratification by talking about your emotions.

This morning I said "I'd like to take you to a mystery lunch."

Good work, and I like the idea. Note for you and other guys: next time, drop the word "mystery" when you ask her, but keep the location a secret. This should be your standard for taking her out anywhere. "Hey babe, I'm taking you out tomorrow at 6." She'll catch on that it's a mystery, and she'll ask you for details. She will love this, and her panties might even get a little wet during the guessing game. "Who the fuck does this man think he is, telling me where to go and what to do and when to be ready? I like it."

When you're ready, do this same thing, but get concert tickets and a babysitter. Send her a text: "Next Saturday, dress to be outside, we leave at 5." I have done this a few times now. Do you remember that 22 year old girl that used to be your wife? She still shows up after a pre-game margarita and some live rock music. And she still loves it when you're the man with the plan, but you don't have to be obvious about it. Play the game, and let her play with you.

Good job. You're wisely choosing to build a better future for yourself, rather than seeking instant gratification by talking about your emotions.

I appreciate the feedback. I have to admit it wasn’t easy ... this behaviour is counter to everything I’ve been programmed with. Having said that it’s also the first time I’ve walk away with a sliver of self respect. I’m sure I could have done a thousand things better, and as a number of people have pointed out, I’ve really overthought all this ... but for once I feel like I’ve stopped digging a hole.

next time, drop the word "mystery" when you ask her, but keep the location a secret.

Great advice ... Practical and actionable. I’m going to do this.

[–]hack3geRed Beret1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy

You should give her permission to fuck Chad since you are such a giant faggot.

She’s likely doing it anyway but giving her permission for a day seems like a nice way to thank her.

Taking initiative like a man is hardly needy.

Myself I'm considering a comedy club or a night out dancing - all logistics. Dancing is fun and physical, but my club is far away and the weather considerations. The comedy club is closer to home, so the feelz generated there can be quickly exploited at home.

Old me: what should we do? New me: I made plans: here is where we are going for dinner. Also, instead of candy how about getting me a nice bottle of Lagavulin?

She came through and even asked me where to go to get the scotch.

[–]nantucketghost0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy

Do a nice dinner out... Or even better, make her a nice dinner in. Show off your cooking skills. Get a card or not, up to you. In my earlier married days I used to write a ton of sappy stuff in the card and she loved it.

I'll hit the store and make a nice dinner for my wife tonight.

[–]Stallion--Duck0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy

The ultimate question is what do YOU want to do for valentine's day? I let my wife take ME out this year. She paid for dinner, bought me a cigar and everything. She's taking me to the mountains for my birthday in april to stay in a cabin. She's emotionally invested in me. Am I displaying beta behavior? Nope. It takes some time, low body fat and other girls swooning over you to pull this off though.

Don't worry so much about what's beta and what's not. Worry about if it's something she would predict you doing. If the answer is yes, do something more random.

Unpredictability plus Dominance is the key to emotional investment.

[–]Malice-red0 points1 point  (13 children) | Copy

Ignore valentine's day completely or buy her some skittles complete with dick in a box.

[–]Balls_Wellington_Main Event + Coronavirus-1 points0 points  (12 children) | Copy

Ignoring Valentine's day completely is a lot like ignoring Christmas or a birthday: you are telling your spouse in no uncertain terms that she means nothing to you.

Which is all well and good if she actually does mean nothing to you; otherwise this is the time to apply some extra comfort and show her off.

[–]Malice-red1 point2 points  (11 children) | Copy

I disagree. My girl knows that I am not into that shit. I show her that I care the other 364 days of the year by giving her my time and attention. It doesn't mean we won't go out on a date that night but it doesn't mean we will. This year logistics don't work and I will be busy. It's fine, next Friday she gets my time and attention and she will look forward to that.

[–]Balls_Wellington_Main Event + Coronavirus2 points3 points  (10 children) | Copy

That's fair enough, you've set the expectation and made your position clear.

For the guys who still need advice from this thread, I'd guess 99% of their wives are fully expecting at least some gesture and have been given no heads up otherwise. It'll come off as a tantrum and a Rambo play to bring it as a surprise.

[–]Malice-red2 points3 points  (4 children) | Copy

Agreed. Most of the guys in here don't have frame which means most advice won't work. I can get away with anything. Frame is like being 007, you can be a cocky prick and blow up half a city block with almost no ramifications. "I been chewed out before." Aldo Raine type of deal.

[–]hack3geRed Beret0 points1 point  (3 children) | Copy

When you are valuable your wife will do shit for you - she bought me gifts and has something planned. She knows I don’t believe in Valentine’s Day so I won’t get her shit.

My wife’s birthday is this weekend too and she told me she wants a cake and to get fucked in her ass - seems like a good deal to me.

[–]Malice-red0 points1 point  (2 children) | Copy

Yep, exactly. My girl will do anything to get my time and attention. Did you know people pay 800 dollars for a belt because it has a capitol H for a buckle?

She recently asked me why I don't make plans with her and she has to initiate. It's because I am busy. I have other plates to fuck, women to game and shit to do. This makes her desire me even more because I don't need her, especially on a fake holiday.

Enjoy the cake and ass fucking. Cheers

[–]part_wolf1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy

This. It's one thing to establish that "I don't celebrate Valentine's Day" and a whole other thing to ignore your wife when you've been setting a different expectation (or playing into her expectations) for a long time.

[–]psmatthews20 points1 point  (3 children) | Copy

As a newbie, for the second time, I agree. If you have always done a bunch of shit, doing nothing is failing at comfort. If you've never done anything, you're good. We've never went overboard for Valentine's, because she has a birthday next week, and it's bullshit. Earlier last weekend, my wife mentioned that I hadn't made my famous spaghetti this winter. Hit my mind, hell I'll make that on Valentine's. Driving home from church, I simply asked "What do you want to do for Valentine's?". She responded "I don't want to go get in the crowds out that night. Why don't you make me some spaghetti." Well fuck me, you just guessed what you were already getting. Card, 2 buck chocolates, spaghetti. Take it or leave it, I'm skipping the garlic bread and having seconds.
