Most of the principled points in favor of maintaining your clarity, confidence, and justifiable self interest in the relationship... And discussion concerning the psychological tricks that some women play to test men's consistency and authenticity in these traits seem useful.

It's difficult though because it's questionable what context people are applying this theory to. The idea that these behaviors apply to all women seems questionable. I'm not sure yet if it's just a phenomenon of relationships where insecurities exist.

It's also troubling if some of the venting is just that... venting ... or borderlines on some sort of distorted misogynistic worldview. The topics themselves are useful in context, but they obviously don't represent all value and contexts of relationships. It's hard to discern when true or false forms of strength and confidence are being encouraged.

Women should never be given any special treatment above men, neither the other way around.
A vagina should never be thought of as a prize, a man should view his cock as the prize.
Never do favors for a woman unless you want to from your own desire.
Do not be a woman's friend in the hopes she will become attracted to you.
Don't ever think you shouldn't be a leader when you think you should.
Don't worry about what society thinks, it doesn't care about you in the first place.

Observe, Become more aware of other's states of mind... Take other people's perspective. It's interesting, that genuineness is charming.

Do what you want, it's your life no one else's but don't take yourself too seriously we are all odd looking apes if you dissociate from your human perspective making unintelligible noises to each other and moving objects around. Sunday bluntday.

Dialectic. Not between people, but within oneself.

"Sexual strategy is so fuxking stupid of an idea in the first place. Have good hygiene, don't be an asshole, present uourself nicely in whatever style you want and don't be an asshole. You don't need to be a trp assjole to get laid. Myself and

I think RP is not one theory but 10-20. So for example the theory that the dating market today is skewed towards women is something I agree with, the idea that women are naturally dishonest I disagree with, the idea that women like cavemen I agree about 50% and so on.

Actually it is dangerous to sew together different ideas and sell them as one package, it can move things towards cultishness.

Some parts of it require no alternative as they are essentially right, some parts require various different alternatives.

I would keep parts like how the dating market looks today essentially unchanged, for the caveman stuff I would say look also into swashbucklers i.e. how an elegant, aristocratic, flamboyant style can work better than being a brute, and for dishonestly I think selfish people tend to attract selfish people, and that is mostly it.

Do you need a theory to tell you how to behave? Exercise, eat well, drink a lot of water, wear sunscreen, have hobbies and interests, find people with similar hobbies and interests, do things that make you happy, have a job you don't hate, just be satisfied with you as a person through and through and good relationships will follow. It's not a theory, but you will end up in a pretty damn good life.

TRP has this strange tendency of taking what may be true for them - the idea that men can only be happy by shoving their dicks down the throats of as many women as possible, and that women can only be happy when they're one of the lucky ones on the receiving end - and applying it to all men and women everywhere, as if we all had the same astounding lack of restraint and/or legitimate value of things that are higher than Maslow's second rung on the ladder.

It's not about "which theory", it's about being so boisterous and arrogant as to assume that a theory is universally applicable.

Treat people the way you would like to be treated. Give people the benefit of the doubt. Try not to be easily offended and to see things from their point of view.

Trust and friendship: be a member of a mutually trusting/trustworthy group of friends. Trust will build confidence, trust and friendship will bring you contacts - that's the essential "mating strategy" and basis for "personal development". Be someone who can be trusted, and trustworthy friends will be honestly self-reflective with you.

Place your own happiness first. Always.

I see too many guys selling themselves out for their girlfriends.

Never invest more than the other person.

A woman doesn't want to win she wants a winner. So never let your girl think she's better than you.
