Good evening gentlemen, I present you a wall of text. If you found this in the future through a search, this post was meant for people new to the journey and need to slow their shit down.

Flying through the program, dabbling here or there, and wondering why their plans/wife are not turning out how everyone promised! MRP simply mustn't work if I couldn't do it, because I can do everything. I know what's good for me and since I've always been alpha...........

You sure do. Failing marriage. Dead Bedroom. Failing Career. Disrespectful spiteful wife/gf. Unhappy with life in general. Few to no friends. No social life. No Hobbies. You have done real well for yourself. Now put on your big boy pants, shut your mouth, open your mind.

My personal favorites are the men who take the shotgun approach and try to do everything at once. Get the fuck over yourself. You aren't that smart, you aren't that good looking, and you certainly aren't going to come and change the program because you are some genius who is looking for the best path. There is a very strict path of where you need to start and where you need to go. This is the foundation of MRP and what you will build everything from. Don't shortcut it and don't look for quick results. They aren't there. If there was an easy way, dont you think everyone would be doing it?

A big shout out to /u/Jang-A-Lang before he decides I wrote this post directed at him. No. I write my posts days in advance. Just incredible timing, which I am known to do. You aren't that important.

Lifting

Mental Note: Jesus H Christ, another fucking post on lifting? Can't help it, people are stupid.

Your very first journey starts with lifting. Stronglifts, starting strength, untamed strength. Get to the gym and start the programs. Make it a ritual. This is the single most important thing you can do. Look, I've said it a thousand times. Lifting is the cornerstone, foundation, and walls of your new building. Don't forget, nutrition is part of lifting. Without lifting, nothing else matters.

You need the foundation of hormones, muscles, raw good looks, and strength. When you look good in a tight shirt, then you can say I have lifted. That doesn't mean you stop, it just means congratulations. Girls notice, and I postulate that by merely being in demand will build your frame and your ego all by itself. Having other women salivating over you is going to do wonders for your OI.

UNTIL YOUR PERCEIVED SMV OUTPACES HERS, NONE OF THIS IS GOING TO GET TRACTION

Reading

Different approaches on this topic. If you have a problem with your wife walking all over you, start with the book No More Mr. Nice Guy. If you have a problem with always catering to your wife then read When I say No I feel Guilty. If you are going through an affair, jump straight to Married Man Sex Life Primer.

Simply read the books at the gym. Keep them in your gym locker. She shouldn't know about your MRP journey at all. Give each one a good once over. Read, ponder the topics, move onto the next book. You have to let your brain crunch on the material before you jump right in.

Applying

After you have absorbed some content and feel like you understand it. Then take one book and start practicing it. The books are written in plan style, so feel free to start at chapter one and work your way through it. Finish a book, keep what works, discard what doesn't.

Maybe you want to go onto passing tests, recognizing them, and obliterating them. This is a fair way to start, after you have done the reading. At some point in your journey you are going to start fitting these pieces together. You and your SMV is going to improve. Things are going to start falling into line. Experience is the best teacher, and unfortunately MRP can only be learned through experience.

"When someone says, “I’m going through hell,” the best response is to tell them, “Don’t stop!” If we see that pain, grief and tough times are a process and that it will get better, we’re less likely to get stuck in the hell." -Douglas Bloch

There are much more advanced topics and if you are beginning your journey. Forget it. These topics are like Algebraic topology to a kindergartner. Don't be that guy.

Career

The red pill changes everything. Mental acuity flips upside down and you are seeing things for what they really are. Alpha, AMOG, Hamster, AWALT, AF/BB, ASD, CC, LJBF, Solipsism, DLV, DQ, DT, HB, Incel, IOD, IOI, these are all just electrons flying around in the ether. Until you see them unfold in front of you, there is just no real grasp on the concept. That said, RP has a way of destroying things that need to be destroyed.

Gentlemen, this includes your career. You will either better your current career or you will move to a new one. You will find yourself striving for the best and you are going to get what you want. Maybe. You might also destroy what you have because it really isn't just for you. Then you go on to do what you wanted to do in your life. I took a step back in my promotions and hiring and analyzed them for exactly what they were. The guys who were moving up are the ones who went and got it. The guys who quit or stagnated, were the typical work nice guys. I am willing to bet that the 99% of the quitters were holding covert contracts, but I have no way to prove it. Makes sense, especially if this is you, work real hard, be nice, stay quiet about your achievements, and never get anything return. Sucks doesn't it? The red pill will teach you go get it, not just let it happen.

Example

As usual, in my submissions I like to give you a real life example. Something raw, true, and straight from the battlefield of marriage. This happened to me 6 days ago. The blow up, on her part was pretty big. The story, is not the relevant piece, neither is the build up. The application of WISNIFG, NMMNG, and Manipulating a comfort test is.

Wife flies off the handle for , and I mean really flips her shit. Passive Dread tends to do that sometimes. I leave the room and go to the garage to start cleaning it. She follows me out and forces the issue. WISNIFG: Fog, Fog, Fog, Broken Record, Fog, Fog, Fog, she gives up and leaves the garage. Employ NMMNG, as I am not about to cave and DEER with her. She was wrong, I was right. She can have her comfort, but not at the expense of her shenanigans. The pattern had gotten predictable with me and her. MMSLP: She blows up, hubby betas up and comforts her immediately.

The Rub

The real issue at hand was a comfort test and I recognized it immediately. No real reason to purposefully amplify the need for comfort but I did it more as a way to switch it up. She needs to keep guessing. I left the house and went to the gym. The hamster lifted heavier than me. 30 missed calls and 50 some unanswered text messages later, I came home. Passed the now amplified comfort test with flying colors. All is well again.

Parting thoughts. Think about that story for a moment. Frame was solid, put myself first. Applied actual MRP related material. Still got my gym time. I spent my time doing what I enjoy doing and she didn't get to take that away from me. Wife got her comfort, tingles, and life went on. Blue pills, let the down votes flow. Maybe MRP works after all.
