Serious post. I'm not looking for pity or something here, I'm genuinely curious as to how you guys find motivation to keep going on? What is it that drives you to welcome tomorrow? Why?
I'm 26 currently (male obv), I've been on TRP and related content for 5 years now. I feel like over this time with the help of TRP I've figured out not only women, but life too, how to lead a successful life, how to achieve success, how to be great at socializing, how to get the girl, how to be alpha, confidence, gains, experiences... But now, it's like I see the blueprint of everything, and it all seems so dull, nothing is exciting anymore. The world is absolutely not how I thought it was years ago. Didn't have a real father figure in my life, was raised very sheltered. I was quite a nerd, loved playing videogames, and was happy doing so. Thus I missed out on most of high-school life and early college. After a failed relationship I luckily found TRP and it completely changed my life. Got my life together, got in great shape, got my dream-career, got girls I only dreamed of earlier. And on top of these I achieved nearly all my dreams. However I just can't seem to enjoy anything anymore. I've tried a lot of new things since TRP changed my life, and they've brought brief happieness/satisfaction, I traveled a lot, visited almost all the places I've ever wanted. But all of that was temporary.
Girls too. I had/have a lot of success with girls (after taking a lot of L's obviously), but all of it seems so hollow. By now I see the same blueprint all women operate by (or rather very few archetypes), with some minor details differing here and there. And it's just so unexciting, boring, you do X to get Y, they're all wired very similarly, and can be figured out so easilly, they're so predictable.. (and to be honest, I'm very disappointed that they work the way they work) I've been getting bored of gaming chicks, like this a while back and regrettably decided to LTR one, who's details I thought and still think match mine perfectly. I decided to experiment a little, and see what happens if I alter, if I challenge the TRP way of doing things, to see if there's an alternative. (I was happy, even in love, and have gathered many beautiful memories during that LTR.) But nope, obviously not, relationships or anything with women only works if you do it the TRP way. I think when I did this, that was the last breaking point, where I lost any doubt in basically TRP, and how everything works in life. For example from that point since I'm convinced that women don't feel "love" only a strong sense of attraction, a primal drive of trying to survive, be protected, stuff like that.
And at first I thought "cool, at least now I know for sure everything is definitely the way TRP said it is, no doubt, good learning experience, now I know everything works". But now I'm like "I know how life works, I know how the world works... And it's shit and boring." I realize life is an uphill battle all the way for us men, and I'm doing it daily, and I was okay with that. But now I constantly think about how everything is stacked against me. I have to be constantly aware, can't be caught slippin, have to grind non-stop, whether it's for a great body, make a living, to get a girl. And then the bigger picture, where the future looks absolutely bleak, a social and economic system, that's designed to keep you down and slaving your whole life, housing market that's making it impossible to get your own house, and fucking founding a healthy family seems literally impossible, since the vast majority of women have become whores, since it's so easy for them to just hop on the cock-carousel with literally no consequences, and if you slip-up just once as a dude, it can cost your fucking family, even your life, since so much power is given to women. Now compare that to women who have prettymuch everything given to them, great support system, courts stacked in their favor, just all-around insane benefits, and they barely have to do anything to get anywhere in life, other than having to tend to their body on a basic level, you don't even have to be a decent human being as a woman in todays (western) world. Like when it comes to sex, as a woman you don't even have to approach or do anything remotely that requires real effort, just look decent, you open your legs, and can find a dude within 1 second that would fuck you, prettymuch any dude you want. And as for relationships, barely anything again.. Any girl can find a decent dude who will take care of her...
Anyway, regarding my daily routines, the only thing I have motivational problems is basically to keep on living. I get shit done, I still go to the gym every day, I still give my best at work, I still game chicks, I'm still constantly improving my self in various and new ways, I still hang out with friends, but it feels like I'm doing all of it out of habit. And every day it crosses my mind, "why should I keep on living in this shit world? Especially since everything is stacked against me? I'm not even having a good time..." and sometimes I take it even further and start thinking about how I missed out on high-school and my early youth due to being raised so sheltered, it feels like the best part of my life has already been wasted and just makes me want off myself even more. Nothing seems to matter, and I feel like even success doesn't bring me joy/satisfaction.
So that's basically it, I know it's pretty deep, but seriously, what's the reason to go on? Esp. against all odds? What is it that drives you to go on?
TL;DR: Had a lot of success in my life (mostly thanks to TRP). Achieved almost all my dreams. Figured out everything, and now everything seems boring, shit, and meaningless. Can't find enjoyment in anything anymore.
