Did I miss the boat? Is it too late for me to be RP?

vandaalen · 2017-01-18T09:38:17+00:00

Calm your titties. I am 40 and didn't discover TRP until my late 30s.

The_BitterTruth · 2017-01-18T10:55:56+00:00

Guys are relatively young until 35. Up until then age doesn't really matter as a guy.

Don't look at the past, it's out of reach and out of your control.

Right now is the time to start making choices for yourself and become the person you want to.

Good luck.

I'm 52. I discovered TRP when I was about 40, give or take. It's never too late.

It's never too late for self improvement.

The feeling of knowing you're fucking up an approach is comical; I get tense, probably turn bright red, get her number and then get the fuck out of there!

Every approach is a learning experience though & ive found the fear/self-consciousness calms down with practise. Remember she's going to be anxious too because you're a stranger, it's normal to feel that way.

Edit: Also, how can it be 'too late' when you could have another 74 years on this planet?

Move past the idea that you have to get yourself to some level before you can get laid. If you start approaching, asking for numbers, asking girls out, kissing them and escalating, you will start to get laid, regardless of where you are in your envisioned path to alphadom. As in everything, process over goals.

And you're just plain wrong about life after 30 or even 40.

You're not hopeless you've just been made aware of your shortcomings and inadequacies. Becoming aware is the first step. However your mindset stinks. Seriously. Get your fat ass into the gym and build some self belief in yourself. You can be whatever the fuck you want to be it just requires work. If you want it enough you'll put in the work.

Wipe the slate clean. Acknowledge where you're at. Determine where you want to be. Write down a list of really clear goals ( I recommend Brian tracy goals to read if you're unsure of structure or those goals). Read all of the red pill side bar. Create a plan for self improvement. Execute that plan. This is as simple as it is. Only you can take action though

I'm 36. Discovered TRP at 33. You can make a lot in one year. Just start and never look back.

iteal · 2017-01-18T12:01:15+00:00

Okay, so you've wasted 26 years of your life. Do you really want to wait 26 more years to look back and say: Oh, now I've wasted another 26 years of my life.

The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time is now.

And you don't do TRP simply because you want to get laid. That's the wrong approach. You want to bring out the best of yourself which results in getting laid.

57 here - RP'd around 55. You've got plenty of time

[deleted] · 2017-01-18T13:35:13+00:00

I took it at 32 and was married. Never too late there buddy - helped me get through this divorce and now I'm loving life again.

BusterVadge · 2017-01-18T13:38:33+00:00

Hey, there are a lot of older guys in this thread (I'm one of them), and it's never too late. Make the most of the time you have left, there's nothing more RP than that.

Nergaal · 2017-01-18T14:02:23+00:00

TRP won't guarantee you happiness. But BP would have guaranteed you unhappiness in the long run.

spoiltcheese · 2017-01-18T14:21:49+00:00

It's never too late 'till you're dead.

Source: subscribed to some of the central tenets of red pill without knowing its existence for quite a while, but believed the BS that any sex is sinful, even the consensual/marital ones that most blue pillers would silently agree to. And not for any religious justification, mind you. Just that sex was a unnecessary tool of evolution. I thought I would be silently fine with other dudes banging, though, and shitting out babies, rendering me immune to the tragedy of the commons.

And THEN I had to jump down the slippery slope. I decided that humanity was worthless and they all deserved to die. I would take the logical conclusion, of course, by committing honourable sudoku. Even then I decided that wasn't enough. I silently decided that since evolution would always favour selfish species, even the cockroaches that would survive the nuclear winter would eventually be the next master race. They would not be able to understand our past, much less learn from it, and they too have to die, preemptively, to save them from themselves.

Somehow I stopped myself from considering absolute universal death by annihilating every atom that every existed by using antimatter. I decided (somehow) to get out of the hole and explore new frontiers.

I was under no illusion that I would get anything. I just wanted to collect information. A innocent comment about shit tests... well... led me here.

I thought by following some Buddhist theory about transcendence meant that in order to fully actualize ourselves, we would have to transcend humanity and free ourselves from the construct of emotions. I thought by freeing humanity from their physical bodies I would be doing them a great favour.

Then I remembered this enlightening, paradoxical comment, written by a Buddhist no less.

"If you see Buddha on the road, kill him."

It starkly reminded me that we are not our ideals. To think so would be to disregard the critical thinking I so desired. I would have to stop loathing myself for some unattainable BS policy I had setup.

To wit:

See the arch-typical Omega (no drive for life whatsoever)? If you remotely care about him, start by telling him by even bothering to wake up/take care of personal hygiene (one should hope)/show up/exist in the first place, he is denying the nihilism that he aspires to. Even a rock, for the lack of sentience, cannot be a nihilist. A rock exist because it does. The 'nihilist' exists, simply because they do. The premieres, in this case, is a valid conclusion. Even if they realize they can end the circular logic by committing suicide - tell them they will still exist, probably until the heat death of the universe. They will exist as a sad statistic of unnatural deaths. Their molecules will continue to give new life, apathetic to their old host. TL;DR: Unpersoning is not a real thing.
See a "Beta as fuck" guy, regardless of your status to him? Issue a friendly challenge, as a thought exercise: have him play devil's advocate to himself, even for a little while. Maybe tell him something like "this is what [your clique] doesn't want you to know." Light the candle in his darkness, even if it dies (as it most likely will), he now at least knows the candle is there. If he doesn't - well, he's the rock from point number 1. Don't even bother taking the same lift with them. They won't press the buttons. Not even for themselves.
111% BluePill/SJW? Same tactic as 2, only be more overt about it. 111% BluePills are not to be confused with the 100% bluepills (and their varying degrees of gradation). 100% BPs (and less) tends to be normal, functioning ^{somewhat, anyway} people who may not hate the entirety of RP, just falling for misinformation that other people may have prefiltered for them. They do not fall under the "Kill Buddha" commandment. They might even be struggling purples. If the comments sections of this YouTube video are to be believed, it is possible to stop confirmation bias. 111%BPs are the ones who not only believe the BP story, they usually think they have NLP'ed their bodies to believe it so: I.E they are the 100% neocortex-brain-race enlightened-creatures [Author's note: I got cancer from typing that. Not literally, of course.]. How do you kill the 111%BP/100%NC? First, recognize that Dale Carnegie has failed them. To them, friends are a groupthink criclejerk. They have internalised the memes without having to bind themselves to the emotions that said memes - and friends - necessitate. They are worse then trolls because the former are least trying to communicate. Negative communication is still communication because you still somehow care about the person's welfare. (Abusive communication, intentional or otherwise, is still a valid form of expression. Not the most effective in the long run, but you should tell that to the Betas, not these BPs.) The NCs have already filtered out the trolls to create a perfect walled garden. Be the jerkass (in their words, anyway) who tears away their tinfoil hat. Troll (i.e. shit-test) their beliefs [important caveat, do not resort to ad-homoniem attacks on their person. But it may not matter if they are actually type 4], but always give them enough rope to hang themselves. Let them dominate the talking, if they feel the need to. They may hate you "forever" for forcing them out their shells, but at least they now acknowledge that you and your opinions not only exist, they might actually be worth something. If/when the circlejerk clique notice the change in their dynamic, (most likely because that - gasp - your mark has emotions), they either fall like a house of cards or just bring out the ol' banhammer. Today's enemy may be tomorrow's ally.
If the hat that you suspected was made of tinfoil was actually made of unobtainium - welcome to the world of crazy. I dub thee Sir Seymour Guado, the 222% blue pill. Not even nuclear war will get to their head. They will not yield to anyone or anything. They have destroyed their ~~reptilian~~ hindbrain, their limbic system, and are on the way to Singularity by replacing their neocortex with the Hive Mind. They are not the avatars, proxies, representatives, et al of said entity. They are the Hive Mind. They have a pathetic database that could fit in a CD (650 MB), and will never, ever need memory expansions because the Hive is irrefutable, unchanging, and inerrant. They are deader then dead and yet still walk among the living. They are not even worth the time to consider an enemy because they don't actually exist. If by some reason they do target you, acceptable responses include killing it with fire, water, ice, lightning, Demi, Shooting Star, and Blitz Ace. Do this up to 4 times if needed. Apply inappropriate laughing if needed.
The 3s and 4s are your bosses, or worse, the board of directors. No matter how much you may need the money, it's never worth it. You might not even need to consider resigning - anything remotely purple-pill that could trigger independent thought is greeted with shutdown, PIPs, "performance issues", etc. Consider that a lesson that just as that company needs to vet you, you also need to vet them. In fact, be happy if they gave you the sack. Uber-BPs (they are nothing like regular) will have no qualms overworking and underpaying their staff while either playing Skinner's box with you, or some sort of weird BSDM arrangement that you should be so privileged to work with them that they'll pay you if either A: you join the mental masturbation that is the Hive Mind, at the cost of your soul (read: pretty much your entire brain). B: You scrape by being the omega bitch. Think gofer, clerk, secretary, roles that even moderates BPs and PPs are starting to eschew. (Side note about the BDSM arrangement: paying for an internship with a company counts as one.)
The Hive Mind is your government. You probably live in North Korea [of course, I am assuming you can in fact read this message]. While I cannot guarantee that we as the rest of the world can kill hive minds of this magnitude, let me bring you back to level 1 self-actualization:You think, therefore you are. All I can say is this: if for some reason you decide to overthrow, do not in any circumstance implement the same oppressive rules that you sought to escape. You will only enable a new dysfunctional hive mind: new betas hate the hive mind, overthrow your hive mind, and implement their own hive mind. This right here is why you need to 'Kill Buddha'

Needless to say, the 'kill' here is more a kill command for computers. "Buddha", of course, is the abstract process.

SUMMARY: Embrace the sprirt of the law, not its letter.

EGOtyst · 2017-01-18T19:34:52+00:00

Ugh, dude. Calm the fuck down.

I would recommend you start hanging out with men. Join an MMA gym or something. YOu seem to have always had women around you in life. It shows in the way you speak and get worked up over shit.

1st things 1st: Improve yourself. Get good. You have to internalize the fact that you have to actually be sexy and interesting for women to find you sexy and interesting. Consuming media cannot and will not make you interesting and sexy. Watching movies, playing video games, etc are all consumption that does nothing to progress your status with other people.

Take honest stock of your life: Are you sexy and interesting? The answer is probably no.

TRP has a few primers on how to become sexy and interesting. They are not the bible on this subject. They are a generic blueprint for these things. They are averages. Everything you see here is an averaged out philosophy, working to get a basic message across to autists on the internet.

The important takeaways are that you have to be sexy and interesting for women to want to fuck you.

Start there. Once you are empirically sexy and interesting, if you are still having problems, come back and ask more questions.

Until then, eat right, work out, and start making shit.

Just gonna put this out here: You are going to have to work twice as hard.
