Greetings friends,

This post is long overdue but the last day of the year seems like a good day for it. Lately, I have felt compelled to write; to debate. Today, my objective is to introduce myself to the community that I have learned so much from by throwing a changeup. My "I Swallowed the Pill" post will not be fueled by anger, but instead, positivity. I understand the anger phase posts and consider myself lucky that I am not coming from that starting point which unfortunately seems all too common. Growing up, I never got involved in serious relationships with women because frankly, I didn't see the point- turns out I was right. I was always OK with women. There were those better, there were worse, but I was basically a No-Pill. I noticed a disconnect between the things that were being taught to me and what I saw around me but I didn't know how to put my finger on it and I don't even want to know how long it would have taken me to figure these things out if it weren't for this invaluable information.

With that being said, I offer up my musings on a few critical Red Pill topics that will perhaps motivate and inspire new members though I am also doing it just as much for my own self. I am classifying this as a rant and if I would have written in June, when I first thought about it, it would have been an ecstatic, disorganized rant about how great everything is. I have since came back down to Earth and have become a little more grounded so today, I will use the sub headings of being a man, frame, and game. I don't know how much I will write so feel free to read whatever you like out of this and comment as you wish. Objective debate is a cornerstone value of mine. Let's get after it...

Being a Man

I can only read so many posts about women being the devil or how women have it so easy before I have to spew out the fact that MEN AND WOMEN ARE DIFFERENT. I swear that's all there is to Gender Studies is to just get that through your thick skull. Go ahead, let it out. We're here for you. But when you're done bitching and moaning, count your lucky stars that you were born a man and be thankful that you have the opportunity to go through these trials and struggles so that you may build a life that others will respect and value even after you're dead and gone. To me, one of the biggest elements of being an enlightened man is the ability to accept harsh realities. This goes for everything in life including morality, religion, politics, and yes, women. Regarding women, the harsh reality that you may or may not be able to accept is that the things they're doing that upset you, may be the exact things that makes them good at being a woman. Understand that they are women, you are a man. Sexuality is mostly amoral according to us so who's to say AF/BB, hypergamy, etc., aren't what's in a women's best interest in society today? I'm not saying you have to go to any feminist rallies but I am strongly suggesting that you toughen the fuck up, see what's in front of you, use these tools that The Red Pill provides, and play the hand that you're dealt.

I've come to realize that men who can face these harsh realities are few and far between. And you can't save the others. When I first started reading Red Pill, I would glance over at the total subscribers and get a little worried every time it rose. 140k, 150k, ..., "Fuck, not everyone needs to know this! Let me just have this by myself for a while!" Turns out you can slap them right upside the head with this shit and it makes no difference. Nowadays, I yearn for people to connect with and to bond with over the pursuit of actualization. Kill your own beta, sure, that's your prerogative, but have pity on those who can't. The matrix is real. Most men today are brought up to be OK with an external locus of control. Everything bad happens to them, it couldn't be that they weren't prepared. Tough times stir up emotional responses instead of logical ones. It's much easier to just rely on social conditioning then to grab life by the reigns and take control. It's quite sad, but we must move on with our personal missions. And do you know why we can do this? Because if you're here and have the ability to accept life's challenges, you have a better frame. What's frame you ask? Great question.

Frame

Frame is a very important yet hard to describe concept. I haven't given too much thought to coming up with a colorful metaphor for frame because by some miracle of nature and nurture, I have a good natural frame. I can, however, tell you how I know it's a good frame- I know it's good because I would not trade my frame for anyone else's frame. ANYONE. Period. I love how I interact with the world. I will fucking ride or die with my frame. It has already saved me. I believe getting to this point should be one of the first steps in any self-improvement journey.

It makes sense that you can't build a structure of much strength unless you first have a strong frame. But once you have that frame, strengthening it becomes something you do with ease. Each new experience or interaction with the world gets filtered in to you through your frame and in exchange your essence gets filtered back out to the world through your frame. Your frame is everything to you. It's like a boxing coach that you create out of parts of yourself to stand in your corner with you and slap you around a little bit between rounds. That angry old black boxing coach that you create for yourself is the only one who will always be in your corner, or at least that's who's in my corner. Who's in yours?

Last but not least

Game

The Game is so important to me because my decision not to play it early on is what caused me to find The Red Pill. I always thought I was a special snowflake who doesn't have to play societies' games. And you know what? I still think I'm a special snowflake. The difference is now I understand that the only way to prove yourself as one of a kind is to beat the game. I was able to analyze myself objectively and determine that I had a good frame, I just needed to step up my game.

"How to get girls?" - Kind of funny. Something along the lines of this question is what led me here. I remember not wanting to type it into Google for the longest time thinking, "Fuck that, I don't need to do that." But I let go of my emotions and let objectivity set back in and realized that special snowflake or not, we are all human and if you have a problem chances are thousands of others have had the same problems and today all you have to do is pull your pocket computer out and go through the almost limitless discourse. It's my same solution for every other problem so why should I let my pride stop me from getting this one answered? The point here is that to get ahead in The Game, you have to check your feelings at the door and use any and all tools available to you. You need to take in BOTH sides of every argument like the ones you see on here before letting your emotions limit your growth. From How to Win Friends, "Do not criticize; understand." Once you understand, think for yourself and don't let things like pride cause you to be stubborn. That is weakness.

I'm glad I did the search because I eventually found the old TRP Game subreddit and then this one. After digesting all of that information I can say that it's all worth the read. It's definitely good to get a feel for the science behind attraction, but one of the better pieces of advice you will find is to read it all and then forget it. Most problems stem from simply not escalating. I would sit at a bar and talk to a girl using logic and reason for 30 minutes only to have her tell me how nice I was before leaving. Fuck whatever conversation you're in with a girl. Let that shit trail off and just look at her, touch her, lead her. Escalate physically by touch, by kiss, or verbally. A lot of you resented this one when I brought it up earlier. I swear to God, verbally say some sexual shit if that's what you want to do with her. You all should know by now that the classic beta nice guy who hides his real intentions is the real bad guy, not the one who is upfront and honest. If it doesn't work out, great it saves you time and you gained a valuable experience. Anyways, I digress. I want to keep this in broad focus.

In a way, I'm still resenting playing The Game, but I am going to play it nonetheless. My goal is to play it so well that I don't need to play it anymore, hence GameOver17. I know that I can't always live in the future but setting lofty goals is important to me. I think I can finally begin to enjoy living my life in a way that makes sense to me. I think I can be happy moving forward. 2016 was a year of great change and now 2017 will be somewhat of a rebirth. My first full year where I have all of the tools I need to be me.

I will respect and attempt to understand any feedback on this post or anything else I say for that matter so let me know if you have anything for me or if you just want to shout out what your plan for 2017 is.

Because I plan to fuck The Game up. How bout you?
