I used to think my wife was one of the low libido types: sex twice a month, with pitiful excuses and explanations of being tired from dealing with kids all day.

So, I took control of the situation and unplugged. Did the required reading, started lifting, and started treating my wife the way she wants to be treated: not as a fucking princess (that's not something a mentally stable woman should want), but as my second-in-command. My Executive Officer.

I won't get into too any specific examples, because I'm not looking for advice or validation, but losing 150 pounds and applying TRP principles have been getting me results. On the nightly.

I have to remind myself as I'm kept up by her voracious sexual appetite, as my 5 a.m. workout alarm creeps closer, that these late nights are why I swallowed the Red Pill to begin with.

So, onward and upward. Ad Astra! This philosophy will only work if you do.

edit (this should probably go here): One thing I forgot to mention: as I was playfully teasing my lady the other day, I joked about how the frequency of our love life has been inversely proportional to my weight. Of course, she insisted that she had always been attracted to me, and denied that my fitness level had anything to do with our sexual frequency.

Ho ho, I believe it. Listen to what she does, right?

She loves her new position. She's allowed input, but is relieved of the burden of making the final say. As I make decisions that affect our lives, the consequences of success or failure lie on my shoulders, not hers. I'm sometimes wrong, but never in doubt, and I own my shit and learn from failures, so as to not repeat them.

What do I do that works? I'm selfish.

That's right. My primary concern is me. My health and well-being. My income. My life. My happiness.

I focus on the only thing I have control over, and my family reaps the benefits.

My Good health will keep me full of vigor (and alive longer, to continue to set an example for my children longer than I would as a morbidly obese man).

My Good income has obvious effects to the benefit of my family. A more assertive nature (as well as taking the time to study and hone my craft) has increased sales volumes.

My life has included quite a bit more fishing since I swallowed the Pill. How I spend my leisure time, away from the family, has a beneficial impact on my mental well-being (and absence makes the heart grow fond).

Spending time with my kids makes me happy. I take pride in showing my son how to be a man, and setting an example for my daughters of how a man should act. Since this trip started, spending time molding and shaping my children into decent adults has been a priority.

And all these things I do, I do with a happy heart. Because I do what I want, and I WANT to do these things.
