I don't believe anything 100%, to do that it would be a cult.
I am older, really. I discovered PUA from its infancy, and it helped me a lot getting laid. Then I discovered TRP when it was just starting up. To me TRP was not about game, it was not about women at all, it was about putting myself #1 and be the best I could be. Women were an incidental accessory to my life.
And I know I am not the only one who thought of TRP that way. So, those of us who got inspired by TRP that way, this is what we did:
- We hit the gym and fixed our diet and we got a nice toned and muscular body
- We were either educated or got a good education
- We developed a good career
- We are financially stable, and more
- We developed our hobbies and interests
- We became more confident and assertive
In short, while not Chad (well, maybe) we are a very good catch.
So, if someone wants to spin plates, it becomes really really easy. Trust me, if I could do it, you could too.
But, what if one of us wants a real relationship. I know this is MGTOW, but hear me out, I am going somewhere.
Back to what I was saying, what if someone wants a relationship, a good long-term relationship? It would be with someone, a woman, who would bring to the table something along the same lines as what the guy would bring. Right?
So, a woman who:
- is fit (and not fat)
- educated
- with a decent career, not just a dead-end job
- financially stable; not living paycheck-by-paycheck, and not drowning in debt
- no kids
- no baggage: no alpha widow, no ex-gf with whom she's currently in touch, a no FWB/FB on the side
Well, guess what? It's mission impossible.
A few times I have talked about this with a small group of acquaintances when the discussion turned to relationships and how it's hard to find a good guy; and - you know what I was told? That I have unreasonable expectations, that I ask too much, and that I should lower my standards.
So, there it is. The "problem" in becoming a great person, a great guy, to pursue all that we can be is that . . we won't be able to find our match, unless we settle for a lot less.
And that's the SAD part. In the female world there's no TRP equivalent, nobody tells them to:
- take care of your body
- take care of your mind
- get a good education
- develop a good career
- cultivate your passions and interests
And that's why MGTOW is the best solution to the present state of things with society at large. The only "drawback" is sex. So far I have solved that issue by dating casually; serial monogamous FWB/FB; but I know that there are risks (I have mitigated those) and it's not for everyone.
It's sad for women, and it's sad for everyone too.
