Everything here was supposed to disappear. Banned subreddits, deleted communities, cancelled blogs — much of what is archived here survives nowhere else.
It stays free — no paywall, no account — for the next man who comes looking, the way it was free for you.
I pay for the servers, the storage and the bandwidth myself. If you want this record still standing in ten years, become one of the people who keeps it online.

A guy can be as "alpha" as he wants -- become some uber "Alpha-Alpha" in his own mind or wherever -- ain't gonna do a shittin' bit of good against a VAWA DV accusation (in fact the "alpha" pose is likely to work against him) -- nor will it gain him anything positive in the resulting divorce and/or family court "custody" & property-division/child-support battle.
-- In fact, rather ironically, the more "alpha" a guy is -- i.e. higher status, income, more involved in business/investments, etc -- well his probability of obtaining custody is lower (because he's NOT going to be seen as "domestic" or "nurturing" -- i.e. the "best interests of the child" standard); and instead he's going to be seen more as a "work horse" (aka a proverbial "beast of burden" -- or a walking "wallet") -- which means he's likely to get screwed even WORSE in terms of alimony and child-support.
-- Plus the whole "alpha" mindset is about displaying status and creating the appearance of wealth -- which generally means a highly leverage "lifestyle" (big McMansion house, brand new cars for him & her while married, etc etc) -- and divorce courts/family courts will then determine that the wife/kids have become "accustomed" to a certain (high) level of lifestyle, which they are (per the court's "logic" if it can be called that) "entitled" to continue to have post divorce... ergo the "alpha" gets divorce-raped far worse than the average "beta" dude does.
-- Really all they're doing is setting themselves up as "perfect targets" and "deep pockets" for the divorce industry lawyers.

TRP = handing power over your identity and self esteem to women. If they want to hook up with you, you are alpha. Otherwise you are a garbage and a failure at life. Basically slavery.
MGTOW = make up your own rules and live your own life. If sex happens, great, but don't reinvent yourself as somebody's Tinder fuckboy.

If you read the sidebar and the recommended books, you will find the idea being advocated is exactly what you have defined MGTOW. There is no shortage of users who don't lift, don't read the sidebar content and who don't read the recommended books; this is partly why TRP is having problems with irrelevant content.
TRP is inherently about being a master of your own masculinity and life. Women are an effect and not the goal; the general concept when it comes to women is that a man whose life depends on them the least is the one who has them coming back the most for more.
I think people need to make the distinction between the concepts TRP and MTGOW and the people who post on each respective subreddit.

We all know when it comes to hookups big hypertrophy > cardio fitness. Roosh has talked about it. Arguably cardio is better for your health. Why not choose marathons over powerlifts then?
Something like a Honda Civic is a very good car. Lasts a long time, cheap to own and operate. Why choose an expensive unreliable pussy wagon then?
We all know rent is throwing money into the toilet. Why not a super small and cheap studio apartment with particle board furniture and posters on the wall? Put the difference into your retirement savings.
Wear cheap plain looking clothes. Put the difference into retirement savings.
And so on.
Why not do these things if you're TRP, when you know they will really help your MGTOW? Because they won't get you laid, that's why. I stand by my point. TRP requires you to make some very specific lifestyle choices to be eye candy for hookup sloots. That is not MGTOW. It's go her way.

I do all those things (except retirement savings; like we're going to be able to retire! lol) and I would consider myself to have swallowed the red pill in the sense that I am acutely aware that things are not as they were taught to us men growing up. I think perhaps people have misconceptions regarding what the reading materials recommended at TRP and MRP teach and conflate them with what members on the subreddit espouse in their field reports and whatnot.
I would say that lifting is more for myself than anything. I don't think anyone said it better than Socrates: “No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.”
Also, while I get propositioned often, I'm not really into one-night stands so the hookup sloots culture doesn't really appeal to me (I prefer LTRs), so it's fairly easy to not really care about things that may or may not be required to reel them in.
If I go by your definition, I would say that I am close to MGTOW but I would hesitate to call myself one as I am in an LTR.
I understand your point of view though.
