Summary: Habits and discipline are instrumental in raising your SMV as well as fucking women and maintaining both. I explain how two chemicals aid and hinder your improvement and keeping women attracted.

I spent most of my teens and 20s on a rollercoaster of fighting, alcohol, drugs, and all around thug behaviors. It got me nowhere fast. Well, it did allow me to experience jail for 8 months. I want to write about what I learned as far as the social dynamics and society in another post but I digress. In jail I was pressured to and succeeded in changing behaviors I believed I could never change.

Bad habits need to be discarded, and good habits need to replace them. Anything that is a form of instant gratification should be considered bad. Your brain alters your subconscious thoughts when you quit a bad habit. These thoughts will be more positive because you have proven that you are in control of yourself thus giving you more confidence. Even if "more" is a tiny notch, it will make adopting good habits that much easier.

With enough bad cut out and good added in, your confidence will be noticeably higher. You'll no longer be sitting in front of a Playstation 4 and instead will be lying under a barbell. You will find yourself turning the pages of a book instead of switching tabs on porn hub. There should come a point where you spend the majority of your time on improvement. With time and effort you will have a full schedule of value building activities.

A major upside to having a full schedule dedicated to getting your weight up (figuratively and literally) is your free time becomes super valuable. You will subconciously be less tolerant to people's bullshit. Your actions will reflect someone who respects his own time, which will make others respect it as well.

Think of your free time in terms of money: If you had $100 and someone asked for $1, you would give it away without much thought. But if you only had $10 you'd be more careful in making sure you were spending that $1 wisely. Don't be a time ho.

Before we jump into it I'll ask you to consider the following: Most of you are here to get laid and could give a fuck about improving. Just want to remind you of the fact that pussy comes and goes, but the improvements you make are yours to keep.

Feedback loops and us

Positive feedback loops are your friend. The two main principles of TRP 's sexual strategy is based on feedback loops. The first principle is raising your SMV through self improvement. Here's a comment I wrote recently about habits and Dopamine's role in creating these loops. Dopamine is the chemical that is released into your bloodstream when you do cocaine. The high from cocaine is actually attributed to dopamine. If you don't know why cocaine is such a popular drug take a look at this Charlie Sheen video . His drive and delusional confidence is thanks to cocaine (dopamine). On to the comment.

What I've learned about nofap, smoking or any act meant to satisfy the need for instant gratification is that it has a psychological effect. I've been having a difficult year of on and off smoking. As soon as I have the first cig of the day I feel a worthlessness come over my whole body. Genuinely wanting to quit anything and knowing all the benefits you will reap, yet failing...is demoralizing.

As soon as I take a few hits I regret it and I feel my confidence drop. As for nofap, the next day I have this void in my chest similar to that sinking feeling. If you can erase the bad habits from your life, they act as building blocks for self worth and confidence. Cut out the unnecessary bullshit to set the foundation. Positive habits will be much easier to add into your life because you know your foundation is strong.

My follow up comment:

Anticipation of completing your goal spikes dopamine levels which aids in mood and motivation. This is your bodys way of providing you with positive reinforcement to ensure completion of the goal.

Pretend you told yourself you would be tobacco free for 30 days. If you light up a cigarette after 10 days of not smoking, the stress hormone cortisol is released causing anxiety and decreased mood. If you make it to 30 days without lighting up, your dopamine level will peak then drop because you have achieved your goal.

Since dopamine makes you feel so good, you will be looking for your next fix. This is the perfect time to start your next goal if you havnt already. If you continue doing what you set out to, the pattern of progress will train your brain with a positive feedback loop. The hunger is born.

Women and feedback loops

The second principle at TRP is gaming women. Almost every piece of advice given here follows this formula: Reward a womans good behavior and punish her bad behavior. This principle is necessary in every stage of seduction.

She gives you an IOI, you approach. She acts all cute and shit, you kiss her. She wears red like you told her, you beat the pussy up. So on and so forth. Since your goal is to have sex, rewarding her is also rewarding to you. Which makes it the easy part of the formula.

The difficult part of course is punishing unwanted behavior. She flakes on a date, you soft next. She flirts with guys on your date, you leave. She over steps boundaries, you cease contact until she reaches out to apologize. For the AFC punishing her is also bad for you in the short term. Punishing bad behavior (assuming she's attracted) will dump cortisol in her blood stream causing her anxiety and other negative emotions. When she calls to apologize (submit) you reward her with a date. A spike in dopamine will make her feel good. With continued application, she relates her mistakes to a negative feeling and pleasing you with positive feelings. Positive feedback loop created.

Keep in mind that it takes more than just one reinforcement of good and one punishment of bad behaviors to create this loop. This goes for gaming women and applies even more to self improvement

Creating these loops for women comes down to your discipline. Rewarding positive behavior is easy but if you don't punish the negative you have just turned yourself into a pushover who gives her validation. Your "relationship" will not be as favorable for you as it can be, or last long for that matter.

When TRP theory suggests you make her work for it (sex, time, resources, COMMITMENT), they are literally saying you should punish her bad behavior, because no one respects what they didn't work to get. To the average AFC, punishing bad behavior probably didn't seem logical before swallowing TRP and probably seems too difficult after swallowing TRP. Yes, if you punish her you are also cutting off the good feelings you get from her (attention, sex). However, that temporary shitty feeling will be replaced by a woman who is more attracted to you, thus providing you with more pleasure in the long run.

If you can't control yourself, you can't control.....

When I see comments like "nofap is bullshit" and "my habits don't hinder me" or "alphas do what they want to," I truly wonder what these guys are thinking. If you have a 3 hour gaming sesh, then jack off furiously before you go out and pull "dimes" ... good for you. Now imagine what you could accomplish with a little discipline.

Lesson learned: Even if your successful regardless of your bad habits, imagine the level of success cutting those habits may provide.
