Summary

This post was written a few weeks ago to parlay /u/GayLubeOil post ”Hey Guys I Just Wanna Get Girlz” . I suggest you use the search bar and reread it. It's a short post so won't take long.

This will be an analysis of a self revelation 10 years in the making.


”Yes Sir”

TRP is not the Ten Commandments to becoming alpha. Hell, it’s barely even a roadmap. TRP is a toolbox, buffet or lockerroom of men sharing experiences and knowledge on how to get ahead in this world.

If you can’t think for yourself, you are only taking action because it’s what TRP says to do or someone else told you to do it. You are holding yourself back to a tremendous amount of potential.

Don't mistake this for me saying TRP is wrong, it's definitely not. TRP is the most accurate model of reality I have found to date. This post is about forging your own path, but will get into this in a minute.

Back when I had my first taste of the real world, aka 15 and busting my ass for $8.50 an hour I started working for my families business. This business taught me a lot and was my rite of passage if you want to call it that. I went through a gradual change till one day a teaching just naturally rooted itself into me, even though i didn't consciously see it till now. It's taken me a long time to even self actualize it let alone articulate it.

Looking To Others

If you are like me, aka grew up in the last 30 years or so. You went to school, got indoctrinated into the public school system and subsequently came out as a polished cog for the machine that is our society. When I graduated, plain and simple, I did not think for myself. I was taught all through K-12 to listen to my teachers and adults and do what i was told and never question it. Abstract thought or going against the grain in public school is very much not tolerated just like talking about TRP today isn’t tolerated.

It doesn’t fit the status quo nor feed the machine, get back in line peasant.

To give you a perfect analogy on who i was, if you’ve ever played an RTS game, you know one like Red Alert, WarCraft 1, Star craft, etc. you always had those workers units running around building stuff, except for that one guy. That one NPC that would do his shit, stop and fuck off. You know the one sitting there playing with himself idle to his days content, only acting once you select him and told him to do something.

Ya, that was me, if I wasn’t told what to do I would sit idly by til i found a manager and ask them what i need to do next.

Within a few months i learned that I had a few set things I could do if i finished my assigned work. Instead of idly playing with myself, my managers told me, ”Clint, when you are done with this, you can always go do this, it will always need done and it can fill your time till we find something else for you to do.”

”Yes Sir”

This is around the phase where i stopped running to my managers every time i finished something and realized that there are other jobs I can do and not be wasting their time. One of my managers and mentors was also a possible clone of Clint Eastwood from Gran Torino so I didn't bother him unless absolutely necessary. This was my first true taste of thinking for myself. But, i wasn’t completely disconnected yet.

Thinking for Myself

After graduating high school and working there for a few years one day my father finally pulled me aside and said, ”Clint, this business isn’t ran by people who are told what to do. You need to go out there and look for things to do without even being told. One day I and your managers will no longer be here to tell you what to do. It’s that day you are going to be put through the fire.”

This revelation hit me pretty hard. I never thought about the future like that. Hell i was still in high school and more focused on clocking out so i could go buy more video games than contemplating a life without my father.

Around that time i stopped following orders and started observing. I’d notice a worker would leave something out, instead of just walking by to take my break, i’d stop and take the time to put it up. No one told me it needed to be done, I just knew it had to be done.

Eventually I gained enough knowledge to start seeing things others didn’t. I would learn about something completely unrelated to my work, but with a bit of abstract thought I could see how it could be applied to benefit my work. It was going against the grain. Trying something new. Someone would show me how to do a job and I would figure out how to make it faster or create a tool to improve it. And as some of you veterans might predict, it was met with hostility, doubt and resistance the whole way through until it finally matured enough to started bearing fruit.(sorry won’t go into detail on my career)

This was the first time I thought for myself, it wasn’t some huge revelation but it set the stones in place to create the person i am today. This line of process was brand new to me. Thinking on my own rather than look to someone else was completely foreign to me but It wasn’t a process that happened over night. It’s a long, desolate desert that you just start walking through blindly till one day you finally turn around and realize the mountain range you started at is miles in the distance.


Valentine's Day

I’ve came a long way since then. My job today was pretty much built upon me going against the grain and forcing myself to create my own job. No one told me what to do or how to do it, I just did it because I wanted it and I felt it needed to be done. I taught myself the skills and knowledge needed to do the job i wanted. Which at the time, wasn’t a job position at my employment. I forged it through hard work and a ton of clashing heads with my father and a few coworkers. Anything new you present to an established entity will be met with doubt, skepticism or even hostility. Doesn’t matter if it’s even your own father you are presenting it too.

Today, I pretty much autonomously do my own thing. Work or social life. And this mindset was brought with me upon finding TRP.

This last V day I bought my main plate $70 worth of flowers to be delivered to her work and around $120 dollars in other stuff. There is also a lot of things i do counter to TRP teaching depending on the situation.

Some of you are probably saying right now, "WTF CLINT! Have you not learned anything from TRP!?!? Never buy a bitch things, that’s the quick lane to the betazone and getting cucked.”

If you were thinking that, I’m glad my rage bait worked on you. But, TRP is not a scripture to be followed to the T.

TRP is just like my job back when I was 15. I came to work, just like you come to TRP, I was told what to do and I did it, just like you newbies are doing with TRP.

Why? Because you’re new, you have no experience in what the hell you are suppose to be doing. You don’t know the flags to look for in a girl because you’ve never experienced a crazy. You can not see the signs just like I couldn’t see that tool laying out of place till my father told me to start observing.

What do i observe in my main plate? A woman that is bar none 5 steps ahead of the past 20 girls I’ve slept with. She is the most submissive and feminine girl I’ve had, period. She goes out of her way to do shit for me all the time. She never complains, she never nags, she is always ecstatic to see me yet she knows my time is valuable and more importantly respects it. She has probably spent $200-500 on me in the past month.

If I treated her exactly like TRP preaches to treat girls. She be gone before you could tell me AWALT.

You'll soon find out there is actually a multitude of possible ways to handle a situation. Right now TRP has taught you the beta way and the TRP way. Only through experience will you find more and more paths that will lead to different outcomes. Some methods work tremendously well for one man but for another man it won't work at all. I am a natural extreme stoic, I lack warmth so if i was a die hard Agree and Amplify guy it just comes off as a cold smart ass. It works, but it's not the best method for me. Some methods are great, some methods suck, some can help your soar to heights you've never imagined, some will bring you crashing down in a heap of fire.

The important thing is, it depends on the man implementing them and if it suits his character.

TRP isn’t the 10 commandments of Men that must be followed to the T or you’ll forever burn in the pits of womanly hell(we’ll you might actually). TRP is a huge resource of knowledge and wealth. It has improved my life tenfold. But like all things it is just one toolbox in a garage of experiences and knowledge I have accumulated through my life. It’s one thing i use and combine with other teaches to produce a superior outcome. Just like how I noticed something different that could be applied to my work at hand. Which eventually lead me to creating a new job position.

Every so often I see some of you guys in comments taking TRP to it’s literal end. This is following without thinking at the root. It's fine to do as a newbie but realize that eventually you are going to have to take the training wheels off. It’s not how a self realized man works. It’s not how an autonomous man works.


Lessons learned

If you want to speed up your progression for this, my suggestions are the same as GLO in his post "Hey Guys I Just Wanna Get Girlz", seriously, go fucking read it if you haven't.

Don't allow yourself to be spoon feed everything. Don't let your mother, father, manager or boss or friends coddle you. Try something new, something different, something you've never done, something scary and intimidating. Men are forged in the fires of difficulty and hardship. When they say you can't do it, that's the moments when you will either stay a boy or force yourself to be a man and say, "Fuck you, I can".

I can not count the number of times in the past 10 years that I've been doubted, second guessed and assured what I want can't be done or isn't feasible. Sometimes they were right, but sometimes I was right. But every time I said, "Fuck you, I'm going to try".

Conor Mcgregor didn't come to hold two UFC titles at once because he second guessed himself. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates didn't become technology giants because they had a ton of self doubt or listened to everyone that told them it won't work. You think Muhammad Ali had crippling self doubt? Alexander The great? Genghis Khan? Christopher Columbus? Terry Fox? Shaka Zulu? Churchill?

Every one of those men I guarantee failed a thousand times over. The difference between those men and most men, when they tried something and it didn't work they didn't bow out of the race. They doubled down, learned from their mistake and improved their methods. I've failed a thousand times over. I've fucked up so hard before I developed health issues from it. Hell Churchill himself sent thousands of men to a slaughter in WWI and paid heavily for the fuck up to where he almost lost his career. he recounts it as his worse decision ever made. But through that fuck up he learned invaluable lessons that made him a great leader for WW2.

Look at any man in history that's done something with his life and I'll show you a 1000 that told them they couldn't do it. Some of your closest friends and family will be your worst supporters. A lesson i learned real quick is to tell no one about my ambitions or goals, especially my father. You submit results or shut the fuck up. Money talks, bullshit walks.

No one is going to give you your rite of passage like the old days. Our societies don't offer us that luxury anymore. You are going to have to force yourself to forge your own hardships and trials by fire.

We don't go to the gym day in and day out because it's easy. We do it because it's hard. Because we know that even though it's painful now, tomorrow we will be better than those that failed our gave up. Knowing this is only half of the equation. Knowing this is just bar entry for success. If you want to be top 1% you also have to want it more than anyone else.

My father once told me, "The mediocre compare themselves to the worst. The successful compare themselves to the best". I remember when i first started working, if I fucked up I'd point at the worst guy in the company and say something like, "Well ______ does this!". I was hamstering, I was bringing another down to make myself look better. Now, i shut the fuck up, accept the ass chewing, admit the failure and learn from it so it doesn't happen again. Today I compare myself to the best man in the company. TRP will teach you to stop being the mediocre 16 year old I use to be. Today I don't use TRP to teach me how to reach the top 20%. I want the 1%, I want to fucking crush everyone in whatever i do.

Look at any successful man and history and you see another correlation. Patton had Rommel. Jobs had Gates. Carnegie had Rockefeller. All these men and many more had one thing in common to reach the top 1%. They all had rivals, and every rival was at one point better than them. They compared themselves to the best so they could beat the best.

My father also taught me perfection is impossible and a futile pipe dream. Men can go mad chasing it, but you don't have to be perfect to be the best.

Men take the hard roads, They see a road where there is only forest, wilderness, danger and an unknown. Men are pioneers that explore where others can't see or are to afraid to venture forth into. They take the routes that no one else wants to try or can not see.

Men Manifest their own fucking Destiny.

Boys follow the pack and stay on the road built by the men before them.
