PSA: If you're new here, social media is a poison for you.

I've been reading tons of material and books for about 8 months but I still consider myself new. I feel like I'm stuck in some weird place between beta and alpha land. I know too much to go back but I'm not alpha at all yet. It feels like wandering around in a desert with sand blowing everywhere. I know my destination is somewhere in the horizon and that I will get there someday though. Is there any material on this part of my journey? A word for it maybe?

Women use SM as another way to validate their shitty behaviors and to feed their egos. When six beta orbiters leave comments about some selfie she made, of course she will feel good about herself. But as an alpha male you have to ask yourself- what point is there to have "friends" on Facebook who either aren't very close or family. The golden rule for women who aren't family/close family friends- if they're not fucking you or on their way to fucking you, ditch them. You don't need to orbit some hb6's Facebook if you truly have abundance mentality-- go out and fetch some good women yourself.

I've got the opposite advice. I went RP on social media and it galvanized the men and women in my life.

I did not talk about TRP.

Instead, I talked bluntly about my political and social views and pushed the boundaries of what was comfortable. Sure, lots of people argue with me. But when the former bouncer now firearms trainer at your range pulls you aside and says "xray777, keep up the good work on Facebook, good to know someone else has some balls left." you know you are helping stem the blue tide. He does the same.

Plus, the SJW's who shriek at you on social media become noticeably more submissive and compliant around you in person. Seriously, the two chicks I constantly argue with and dodge every accusation of racism or sexism are giggly around me in person.

Do what you want, but being a lone voice of manly reason in the spergzone might just be what it takes to wake people up.

Someone wrote something on the Internet that woke you up. Grow some balls, keep your mind and tongue sharp, and pay it forward.

ELunico_GEO · 2015-12-22T02:34:06+00:00

I agree, but if you need social media for livelihood (e.g promoting your business, establishing exposure as a musician, etc.) then there is no real reason to get rid of your usage of it altogether. I would agree if you mean get rid of it in terms of scrolling through pointless facebook posts, instagram fodder, twitter rabble etc. instead of building yourself into something of substantial value, either through hobbies or knowledge. In which case I completely agree.

Pro tip: if you use facebook mainly for chat, use this website: messenger.com (it's the web version of the fb messenger app)

Wanderbrew · 2015-12-22T07:20:21+00:00

Just checked my Facebook after a month of inactivity. It's like everyone is plugged into the matrix. Try it. You'll know what I'm talking about.

animalpoo · 2015-12-22T12:55:39+00:00

Alternative view. Change who you follow or mute.

I stick with social media, it's great marketing for myself. Although I rarely post, I allow others to tag photos of me, highlighting my best parts of my life. I occasionally comment on things my friends share as it's a low time method of investing time in them.

You're a product, whether you like it or not.you're also a buyer, and your product and customer is both online. Just make sure you're creating more than consuming and keep your opinions offline.

DrPindaB · 2015-12-22T16:36:37+00:00

This. This right here is what I have been looking for. Too many people think that social media is what they should base there life off of. Constantly checking Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. They have there faces buried so far into the phone or computer that they never notice life flying by around them. A friend of mine told me in a smug ass way that he had 10,000 Facebook friends the other day like that meant something. I looked at him and asked him how many REAL friends he had. Just one, me. I don't have any social media other than this reddit account, and Linkedin for work. Why? Cause the rest of that shit doesn't get me anywhere and won't get me anywhere.

SophisticatedIce · 2015-12-22T04:59:10+00:00

It's useful for messaging family or friends from different areas.

ransay3277 · 2015-12-22T11:17:49+00:00

I couldn't agree with this article more. I got rid of all social media about a year ago and I couldn't be happier. Even when I dumped it, I never heard from true friends asking me what happened. I did however, hear from folks who's only interest in my facebook page could not have been a good thing. (The SJW in HR, the landwhale in accounting.) If you use social media for your work/business, then that's a different story. But for me, I have found I have no time or concern for 140 minor characters.

B0u1dA · 2015-12-22T13:14:06+00:00

I came away from it but with my purpose of getting published,I'm thinking about a website as a piece of digital real estate. I've better things to do than orbit others.

2015-12-22T14:55:03+00:00

I wouldn't say to go full force and deactivate, but only use them for networking and keeping up with cool fun events in your area. Delete or unfollow "friends" who are posting toxic bullshit all day, Don't comment on or like every status, and don't sit on there for hours at a time.

I would love to delete my social media (FB, insta, etc..) but I do freelance graphic design work, so I need to keep it for various reasons. I just don't sit on it all day and post dumb shit.

Although, if I had no professional purpose for it; I would have deleted this crap a LONG time ago. Commented on a friend's status the other day sharing my opinion about something (hint: it didn't fit some totalitarian feminist perspective) while she was actually respectful of my opinion (AKA she wants my dick) her little BP schlub fat looking gnome boyfriend and his friend jumped down my throat messaging me trying to tell me I hate women. I was just like "I don't know where this is coming from. I have been friends with ____ for years, why don't you go ask your girlfriend how much of a misogynist I am?" Fucking fedora tipping BP white knights who are just jealous AF.. It's kind of amusing honestly.

2015-12-22T15:13:18+00:00

If you're new here

Important to note intermediate upwards need not heed this.

but social media will cause you too much anger

Pretty much this, the only real reason anyone on TRP will be using social media is to keep in contact with people and for preselection.

anooblol · 2015-12-22T17:22:26+00:00

As much as I don't like it... I know I'm still in anger phase, and OP is 100% correct. When I open up Facebook and see "blah blah women are oppressed" I get mad, but I don't react. But then you see that every other fucking post is BP logic. I always have a massive urge to just explode on their posts, and say how stupid it is. It's a lot easier to just disable social media until you're out of anger phase... But on the flip side, it's good to practice self control, and holding your frame, as someone is spewing shit out their mouth.

DexterM1776 · 2015-12-22T18:04:59+00:00

The only reason I keep my FB is to keep in touch with my triathlon clubs and my small business. Every one of my friends is set to ignore.

2015-12-22T18:44:20+00:00

Great post! I wish social media would take a nose dive into the Bermuda Triangle and be sucked away for eternity haha. I hate it! It gives these girls a medium for blue pill guys to stroke their ego at a whim's notice. Not feeling good about yourself today hunny? I'll just post a selfie and get 45 likes and 9 comments within half an hour, no big deal. It's freaking ridiculous with facebook. I did flip the script for a little while by befriending random European and Asian women. Let me tell you, them Asian women are relentless on facebook for American guys; specifically the ones from Philippines. Obviously we know what they all want though. I felt shameful for trying to get attention myself, so I done deleted that Facebook for good.

Twitter is pretty bad too, but at least you're not force fed it as you are with Facebook. I invested in both of those companies and despite the financial gains, I am moving the money elsewhere out of principle. Do I think social media is going anywhere? Nope. But I guess I can always hold out hope. Technology is increasing at an exponential rate anyway, so I expect social media to resemble something like from the movie Gamer, kind of a "Second Life" on virtual reality steroids sort of thing. Michael C. Hall aka Dexter kills it in that movie by the way haha. But once it hits that point, who knows what the world's gonna look like and what feminism & TRP will have evolved into. I'm hoping we bring back the Patriarchy and have men being men again. But I digress.

tl;dr: Nootropics FTW, make you ramble haha. Social media is like the plague. Should be avoided at all costs. Go out and interact with people in real life. Go get laid. God or whoever didn't create us to jerk off to porn and browse facebook feeds all day. We're meant to spread our seed and procreate. At what point you wanna do that or if you even want to, that's on you.

whisky1111 · 2015-12-22T20:38:24+00:00

Someday society will figure out that social media is more toxic and destructive than it is helpful but things will have to get MUCH worse before that happens.

Basically it will happen when girls can't get their feelz from selfies anymore because they burned out their dopamine hits.

slcjosh · 2015-12-24T03:34:52+00:00

Kind of a side comment but it is crazy the growth of this sub. And I love it. I started in TRP when their was merely 30,000 or so subs. Now it's close to 150k.

2015-12-25T12:16:58+00:00

OK I agree with the poster that social media is excrement. It is the worst form of social control and conformity since the invention of the fascist/socialist/communist police state.

I do caution folks about unplugging completely if you are in the professional ranks. HR departments look at and google pages all the time for anyone under 45. They are lazy biatches; googling you you, checking your social media posts is a quick and dirty screening.

Spending a few minutes a week posting bland family and friends posts won't hurt. Some social media is useful for finding out about events or hobbies/clubs in your area. If you run a (for most types of business) business/free lance not being on social media is death as others control the message about you.

Unless you are in politics or your business is fairly isolated from public opinion, like oil riggers or even trucking, do not post anything political. Career and and business suicide for 90% of us and our families, SJW know no bounds.

2016-01-05T00:29:03+00:00

this is probably the most coherent yet badass and accurate post. thank you

MattyAnon · 2015-12-22T08:59:27+00:00

Solid.... but don't forget the joys of trolling. ie pretend you don't understand the subtext and present your masculine point of view, while undermining their points with your knowledge of what's really going on. This will invite flak, but you don't care about that shit I hope.

Eg simply stating "She's hot" or "She's not hot" and ignoring the rest of the story about "omg as a woman I am offended that the transgendered gay whale that we saved last year is being oppressed by the indifference of the other whales in the pod not giving it enough sympathy" type SJW bleating.

real-boethius · 2015-12-22T10:51:32+00:00

Just unfollow people who post annoying SJW drivel. Problem solved.

2015-12-23T04:53:22+00:00

Social media is a poison for everyone. It's literally run by Jews.

EDIT: And you guys really don't care for men either; who cares about their competition? Isn't that something a cuck would do?

thenemaxofredpill · 2015-12-23T18:07:31+00:00

I would like to add...

STOP USING DATING APPS. ALL YOU ARE DOING IS FEEDING THE VALIDATION BEAST. IF YOU ARE HERE, THEN YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO BE GOOD ENOUGH TO PULL HOTT BITCHES ON A SITE DEDICATED TO GIVING BITCHES A BUFFET OF TOP 10% GUYS. SO, STOP.
