Strauss Implodes

meh. TRP is imploding too. They've had a long while of having tons of banning sprees and I guess finally mods decided to get around to me too. My comments get +10 to +100 from most people because I point out facts.

Most commenters now are not welcome with facts, only with ideology & broscience.

That's what happens when betas pose as alphas then realize, provably, they were beta all along. Those fools would be better off going to acting school to learn to be better actors.

Truth is the betas of TRP couldn't handle MGTOW because no beta can go his own way. Betas need to follow a leader. Always.

Strauss is simply an opportunist on par with Sarkeesian. He had no integrity to begin with, and his "implosion" is meaningless. In the middle of the last decade, he stumbled on a hustle that would pay his bills and went with it until it dried out. A few years ago, PUA/game started to become passé, so the community splintered. Some went into generic self-improvement, some into the MRM, others into white nationalist and far right movements, and still others began styling themselves as serious "journalists" and "writers", which is how Strauss advertises himself on his Wikipedia page. This isn't some kind of betrayal, what we're observing is a P.T. Barnum of the digital age jumping ship to pursue more gullible ~~customers~~ suckers.

Strauss never fixed himself. Sex with women is not a panacea. If you have fundamental issues within your self image, and you do not take steps to address them, no amount of sex will fix you. You'll just be a neurotic sexual machine full of shame. To be a man, you have to embrace and understand the totality of your loneliness. You must become intimate with your fears and failures. You must uninvest your perception of self from your sexual conquests. Guys have been well trained to be shamed by their sexual failures, it keeps them timid and afraid. It keeps the shame alive. A man needs to be able to prosper in famine to find abundance. Strauss seems like a man who could never suffer famine shamelessly. Better to carry your scars with you and cry about them than embrace your entire masculinity

This is probably the realest statement I've seen on TRP.

That's the problem with the PUA community. They are a bunch of shadows of what a man should be intrinsically. I despise their existence as they are participating in creating cock carousel women and are as much responsible of corrupting females today as feminism is.

Looks like group psychology is at play here, apparently every movement gets there sooner or later, sadly.

10 years goes by so quickly. Feels like yesterday when Strauss' book came out and it painted him and Mystery as fucking gods. Oh how the mighty have fallen. Better to focus on improving yourself than to worry about learning bullshit pickup artist skills.
