I never got into TRP or PUA teachings...not because of any moral objection but point blank: most of it is ineffective.

I can sum up the (not often heard in the mainstream) correctness of TRP, PUA, and the Blackpill in 3 principles....

  1. Superficial presentation is stupendously important
  2. Establish strong inviolable boundaries and lead interactions within those parameters.
  3. Aim to cause, elicit, or create emotions rather than exchange information in interacting with the opposite sex.

^ those principles are rock solid and will increase anyone male's romantic success.

So obviously the rest of those philosophies are silly.

HOWEVER....

Most mainstream stuff is jive. It's not only jive...it's super jive.

The discussion around entitlement is a gaslighting jedi mind trick. Uh hi, all dating rejection arises from entitlement. Women reject men because they feel entitled to someone "better."

A male expressing anger or frustration over sexual rejection is shamed and gaslit into oblivion. Repeated romantic or social rejection has real and harsh consequences on the human psyche...ones that women never really on average even come within a million miles of experiencing.

Psychologically damaging behavior is justified based on nonsensical pretenses. Such as ghosting or flakiness....the safety concern stuff is such jive when it takes a single button press to block. Shit you could block right after you sent the message. Women do this much more but men perpetrate the behavior too. I know I've kind of fallen into a groove of ghosting.

More importantly...when it comes to men most everything in the mainstream just does not work. Either because it is too vague to mean anything (be warm and friendly and confident and....) or because it simply will not work (be polite hold doors little gifts remember things blah blah) or because it's designed to DISCOURAGE improvement (don't try, be yourself, be authentic). To that last point there is no 'self anyone can detect.

I can go put on a suit and have people thinking I'm...well more who I am a lawyer, business owner etc. But I can also wear a sleeveless muscle T and beanie and jeans and have people thinking something totally opposite about me. There is no core self people can sense within the short time parameters that attraction happens in.

Annnyway...

Extreme redundancy is the current winning strategy for men looking for pretty much anything in the modern dating world....from a rational POV.

But this will get you shouted down. Idk why
