I've been seeing a ton of posts on this sub lately of guys asking if they texting the right thing, passed this shit test properly, said the right thing etc. One of the problems with TRP and the questions asked in this sub is that we don't know what you guys look like. What's your max bench? How's your grooming? Do you dress like a neckbeard or do you have a sense of style? Chances are the girl isn't ghosting you because of what you said or what you texted her - it's because your SMV isn't high enough bro. I'm sick of seeing these posts on "text game" and "social media". High value males don't use text game. It doesn't exist. High value males have 100 more important things to do than "ping value into the void" or send girls memes on instagram. That's what this post is about. No bullshit. Plain and simple, I'm going to cover the basics of improving your SMV. Stop worrying about PUA pickup lines and text game and put more effort into your SMV - the results will speak for themselves. I'm going to break this post down into sections and go into depth on each part.

Hair

Hair loss is a reality that the majority of men are going to face one day. That's the bad news. The good news is that it is 2020 and there are a ton of options to deal with it. Don't listen to the "just shave it bros" and figure out what works for you. Here's the cookie cutter hair loss stack anyone with hair loss or MPB genetics should get on:

  1. Finasteride: Blocks the conversion of testosterone to DHT by inhibiting 5 alpha reductase. This leads to a reduction in scalp and serum DHT levels. Fin is intended to prevent further hair loss and should not be used as a growth agent. Talk to your doctor/derm, tell them you are experiencing hair loss and it should be pretty easy to get a prescription. You can ask to get prescribed Proscar (5 mg fin) and use a pill cutter - this works out cheaper or you can get the 1 mg fin generic with a coupon from GoodRX. Start off taking 1 mg Mon/Wed/Fri and if you don't have sides start using 1 mg everyday.
  2. Minoxidil: Topical growth agent that increases hair growth on the scalp. You can buy a 12-month supply of Kirkland minoxidil on Amazon for around $50 or you can get Rogaine foam if that works better for you (this is more expensive).
  3. Ketoconazole: Nizoral is a 1% ketoconazole shampoo that you can buy OTC at your local drug store. Nizoral is good for clearing off residual minoxidil from the scalp and there are studies that show that ketoconazole increases hair growth. Use it 2-3 times a week, leave it on your scalp for 5 minutes, and rinse it off.

If finasteride isn't strong enough for your MPB look into Dutasteride - While Fin blocks around 70% of DHT, Dutasteride will nuke your DHT pretty closer to zero. Also look into RU58841 which is a research chemical used for hair loss. I'm going to link some studies supporting the above protocol below:

Finasteride: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9951956/

Minoxidil: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6691938/

RU58841: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9415227/

Dutasteride: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27549867/

Skin Care

When I wake up, I wash my face with cold water and put on SPF-70 sunscreen even if I am not leaving the house to prevent UV related skin aging. Here's the protocol I use for skin-care.

  1. Vitamin-C serum: After I workout and shower, I apply topical Vitamin C, while my pours have been opened by the steam from the shower.
  2. SPF-70 Sunscreen: After the Vitamin C serum dries, I apply suncreen on top to prevent UV related skin aging and counteract the increased sensitivity from the topical vitamin C
  3. Tretinoin: In the evening, I apply 0.025% Tretinoin to my face. There are numerous studies that show Tretinoin improves collagen production on the skin. Tell your doctor you have acne and ask for a Tretinoin prescription - they are easy to get. Start with 0.05% and work your way up based on what your skin can tolerate.
  4. Moisturizer: After the Tretinoin dries I seal it in with a moisturizer - this counteracts the drying/flaking effect that Tretinoin has on the skin.
  5. Coconut Oil: I apply this under my eyes prior to bed to prevent wrinkles, puffiness, etc.

Lifting

This is the meat and potatoes of this post. If you are DYEL you have no business even talking to chicks IMO. Get your ass in the gym and lift some heavy ass weights. There is a ton of misinformation on the internet about what routines to use, what bullshit supplements to take, etc. when in reality it is very simple. You don't need supplements. You don't need steroids. All you need to do to get jacked is get as strong as possible on heavy compound movements and eat in a 100-300 calorie surplus (-100-300 surplus to cut). Furthermore, when the Russians were training athletes they did a ton of research and found that excercises that move the body through space produce more hypertrophy and work your stabilizers more. What excercises move the body through space? Weighted dips, weighted chinups, weighted pull-ups, squats, and deadlifts. Here are the exercises you need to focus on to get jacked:

​

  1. Overhead Press: Blows up your delts and entire shoulder girdle. OHP should be the most important lift that you focus on. Delts are the key to an aesthetic physique. Do your presses standing rather than seated to work your core better and improve overall athleticism
  2. Bench Press: Works your chest better than any other exercise. Skip the fly machines and machine presses. Get your bench as high as possible. The only things touching the bench should be your traps and butt - this slight arch puts more emphasis on the pecs and will allow you to push more weight.
  3. Weighted Dips: Also known as the upper body squat. Work chest/triceps and are one of the best compounds out there.
  4. Weighted Chinups: Put a better stretch on your biceps than curls (do both) and incorporate the back as well.
  5. Squats/Deadlifts: Best lifts for the lower body. Don't skip leg day.

I understand that gyms are closed. Invest in a pullup/chinup/dip station, get a weighted belt, and some dumbells and you are good to go. Also get a bench to add accessories with dumbells.

Diet

Depending on your body weight, goals, etc. this will vary a lot. Don't do bullshit fad diets. Carb up before and after a workout. Don't dirty bulk. Watch your waistline. Eat tons of fruits/vegetables/lean meats/nuts/grains. Stick to whole foods and get enough protein. I'm not going to go in-depth on this here but as long as you stick to whole foods, and eat in a slight caloric surplus you should be able to gain muscle.

Height

If you are 5'10 or above don't worry about your height. I'm 5'11 and sloots usually think I'm pretty tall because I'm jacked and look good. However, when I go to bars/clubs or go out on dates I will wear height boosting shoes that will put me around 6'1-6'2. When it's winter I like rocking Timberlands which have a 1-2 inch height boost built in. Look up TallMensShoes and find a pair of shoes that give you the height boost you want. I can't say it makes much of a difference for me but depending on your height it might give you more confidence.

Fashion

Lifting will make you look good in pretty much anything you wear. I like to dress on the preppier side as I think it's a pretty basic style that doesn't polarize too much. Here's a basic outline of how to dress:

Shirts: Find a shirt size that fits on you relatively loosely and buy one size smaller. You want to buy t-shirts that fit snugly around your arms and chest - these will make you look bigger than you are and outline your physique better.

Pants: Stick to jeans - Levis is the best brand for jeans. Buy slim fitting jeans that are darker colored.

Jackets: Bomber jackets, leather jackets, flannel jackets are all good options

Shoes: Will vary depending on your outfit. TallMensShoes has some nice looking ones.

Boots: The only kind I like wearing are Tims. Any shade of brown that looks halfway decent should work.

Attitude/Vibe

If girls are calling you anything along the lines of douchebag, meathead, jerk, etc. you are on the right track. I remember the last date I was on, I completely ignored the sloot sitting across from me and was just watching the Cowboys game, ordered Corona after Corona, and half-acknowledged what my date was saying. To top it off I split the bill, and asked if she was coming back to my place and she gladly agreed. Halfway during the date, I told her I played football in HS and love lifting - she called me a meathead and I just turned away and slammed my Corona and yelled at the Cowboys to run the fucking ball . Did I run game on her? No. Did I use a special dancing monkey neg hit pickup line from the Mystery Method? No. Did I try to jump through her shit tests and use witty banter? No. Do I have a high SMV and does she know it? Yes. That's all that matters.

Don't take girls seriously. Don't have "conversations" with them. Tease them, ghost them, have fun with them, and always put yourself first.

Be that douchebag. Don't overcomplicate things. Enjoy yourself and get laid.
