TL;DR: TRP still worships pussy, despite their basic ideas being sound.
Ok this is going to sound like a rant and it is, well it is criticism of their way of handling the self-improvement angle.
I have been lurking and sometimes posting (under another username) on TRP for a while now. I've read the sidebar and many posts and whilst I understand their strong push for self-improvement I do however think that at the end of the day, despite their claims, they are doing it for the wrong reasons.
The sub itself can be summarized as "lift bro! improve your status bro! BECOME THE ALPHA BRO! UP YOUR SMV BRO !"...
UP... YOUR... SMV ... leaves me thinking, are they trying to self-improve (as in, be someone you like, be someone you can respect, have some dignity) or are they pedestalizing pussy, trying to match women's (fickle) espectations and are thus another variation of "blue pill" ?
My guess is that most posters on the TRP are actually young guys trying to up their SMV in a neverending SMV-race (remember the moment a woman starts being even slightly bored with you, you are already out of the race and she'll look to "upgrade" to someone more "entertaining").
I constantly see posts that can be summarized as "Today I lifted and approached a girl, got a number.. pssst, did I do good guys? please validate how alpha I am...".
Yes you got what you wanted, a girl's number, good for you, she may or may not flake but whatever; you lifted, I hope you did it because you actually enjoy lifting and keeping in decent shape; do you need to tell everyone about it ? not really. Do you need reassurance you did good and are closer to "alphadom" ? apparently, thus you are NOT "alpha"; at the end of the day you are still insecure, presumably unhappy with your life, but hey, you lifted and got a random's number...

TRP? The communication with these types does get difficult at times:
TRP Bro: "Lift, bro!"
Me: "Lift, you say? I don't know, I have some mixed thoughts about it, my man. I mean, with my spine being a little bit more curved than the normal (got an MD's opinion on that), lifting would be risky for me. Also, generally speaking, do you see these bodybuilders in their 50s/60s/70s, how the sport actually wears down their bodies? You know, they grow a few inches shorter due to the constant pressure applied to their spinal discs, they have heart problems, and stuff. However, as for me, I've been considering calisthenics. Would you, please, offer a perspective on that?"
TRP Bro: "STFU bitch, you little nerd weakling you. You need to lift, bitch, because TRP gods said so! Calisthenics weak shit, you a fag ballerina or something? Go stick a police baton up your ass."
Me: *sigh*
Also, not a Greek god here. At 6/10 SMV, at best. So if I pushed myself really, really hard, I would get to what? I'd get to about 7/10 - all while adopting the persona of women's entertainment monkey. Even 7/10 ain't enough to keep them around, so, meh.
