Q4RP: Reformed unsuccessful men & late bloomers, did TRP accurately predict how women, relationships, and sex would be once you began to experience it? What did it get right and what did it get wrong?

Title.

I ask because TRP definitely changed my life for the better. But after I began to experience everything in earnest, I realized some of what TRP said was just... bullshit. Is this the case for anyone else? I'd say about 70% of the material I read has proven to be true, and only 15% has been useful irl. I've had more success being myself than being a red pill caricature. The best advice TRP has given me is: Be the best version of yourself.

I feel like being yourself is ok, and for some guys, that's enough to get laid and be happy. For others, not so much. I've found that actively pursuing excellence puts me ahead of others. For the most part, dating and women have not been the nightmare TRP painted it to be. A lot of it rings true, but I don't feel the need to utilize TRP. If anything, doing so might be more harmful than helpful.

What are your thoughts? Has TRP been right about how the women in your life would behave?

Dude. You’re ripped plus blonde as I recall and a daredevil biker. You don’t even need rp.

Pshh I learned to wheelie a motorcycle before I learned to seduce a girl to have sex w/ me

[–]rus9384Misanthrope1 point2 points  (7 children) | Copy Link

Most women prefer brunettes, though.

[–]DragoonXFury22 Yr Black Virgin Skater Stoner Anime Nerd NPC0 points1 point  (6 children) | Copy Link

Really now? Does this include black women too?

[–]rus9384Misanthrope1 point2 points  (5 children) | Copy Link

Ah, well, not sure about black women, but black blonde men are very rare. I guess it's supply and demand thing.

[–]DragoonXFury22 Yr Black Virgin Skater Stoner Anime Nerd NPC0 points1 point  (4 children) | Copy Link

Well you did say "most" women. Does this include Asian women?

[–]rus9384Misanthrope0 points1 point  (3 children) | Copy Link

I am pretty sure for most Asian women.

I think the exception would be indigenous Australians.

[–]DragoonXFury22 Yr Black Virgin Skater Stoner Anime Nerd NPC1 point2 points  (2 children) | Copy Link

Loool, do you really believe most women of all ethnicities prefer white brunette men?

Got to love PPD.

(Well, you said you aren't sure about black women lmao)

[–]rus9384Misanthrope1 point2 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

I have not said white brunette men.

I have said brunette men.

Women of white ethnicity in general prefer white brunette men to white blonde men.

[–]DragoonXFury22 Yr Black Virgin Skater Stoner Anime Nerd NPC0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

"I have not said white brunette men."

You're right you didn't say white brunette men, you just said brunettes.

"Women of white ethnicity in general prefer white brunette men to white blonde men."

Lol, I keep forgetting they are the only real group of people relevant to these discussions.

Carry on as usual then...

(Back to lurking for me)

My only edit to this observation. It's ridiculous and (admittedly) disturbing how effective it has been.

[–]NockerJoeKing Hater1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Yeah for every guy who's genuine self with no work does well there's at least one dude who finds some level of game or a reinvent will give him some improved results, if not three or four dudes.

Why wouldn’t it be? Con men always find their mark.

[–]Truedemocracy512 points13 points  (17 children) | Copy Link

Late bloomer for sure. Basically raised by single mother. In blue pill days put women on a pedestal and was overly respectful, didn’t even get first kiss until college.

Discovered TRP right after graduating, and twenties have been insane with women. High tier ones too: college athletes, college cheerleaders, doctors, lawyers, former models, you name it.

What TRP gets right:

  • self improvement. Lifting is huge component. But so is dressing well. Instead of the “beta bux” look like a nice button up and slacks go for a tight v neck. I thought this was dumb but when you have a muscular body women love it. A $5 vneck will take you further with women than a $120 brooks brothers shirt. Similarly, having interesting hobbies and experiences.

  • AWALT. This was one I especially didn’t believe but having slept with over 30 women in the past few years with the opportunity to sleep with many more I’d say it’s true. Take a devout Christian daddy’s girl, a progressive feminist, a workaholic, a fitness check, etc whoever they all respond to the exact same triggers. I find this most amusing with self described feminists because of all women they are the ones that think they can rise above their biology (spoiler alert, they cannot)

  • frame. This is everything. Never saying your sorry, not backing down from your own opinion, etc. shit works

  • women want to be controlled, led, and dominated. Ok not that blunt, but 50 shades was on point. Someone has to lead the relationship. Yes you can pat your girl on the head and say it’s “50/50” but someone has to take charge on the big and small decisions. When I was younger and left this in the air it hurt relationships. When you lead and lead well it helps them. All women want a strong leader to tell them what to do, yes even the feminists that insist they don’t

  • the wall - yes, this is real. But often misinterpreted

What red pill gets wrong, and some of these may be more the community than philosophy:

  • women are animals, men are rational. No, we are both tied to our biology. Men are logical? Maybe in some areas, but we display emotion (anger, violence) just as much too. We also are tied to the same attraction triggers women are. Difference being most men are honest about it

  • women can’t be trusted. Men are loyal. Again, wrong. Both people can be shit. Hypergamy all you want but if your husband gets rich and famous you can bet he will replace you with a newer model. Many men will also undercut guy friends for a chance at puss

  • women don’t have hobbies, men do. Lol if you count video games I guess. Not to act like unicorns exist but TRPers in general hang around lower quality women then those that are out there. Spoiler alert: high quality women aren’t on tinder and aren’t at the club

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (13 children) | Copy Link

Regarding the dressing well one, I agree. As one of my side gigs/hobbies, I’m a personal shopper and stylist specializing in men (but do have a few female clients). For men, I notice they believe dressing well is what is considered preppy, but much nicer (Oxford shirt, chinos, nice sweaters, boat shoes/oxfords, etc.) and while this is a fine look and depending on the circumstance can attract sorority girls in college as long as your attractive and it’s a fratty look, it’s not necessarily something that will get many men laid, simply because most men can’t pull it off right and still appear extremely masculine due to not having the correct facial features and height.

One thing I tell my clients is that dressing nice isn’t being decked out in Gucci, or wearing a suit, or dressing like a prep with an entire outfit from J Crew, it can be whatever most men wear, just upgrade it. Spend a little more on a t shirt that fits well, but if Hanes fit you well go for those. The problem is that Hanes does not fit all men well, it definitely doesn’t for me so I have to shop at others for my t shirts. Pair that with slim jeans, a flannel shirt maybe, or wear a Henley, and white leather sneakers or boots and you’re pretty much wearing the style that is considered masculine, but you’ll just look better in it and it’s not even that crazy. I should also mention that you need to make sure you’re not fat to wear the clothes, and if you’re short your style won’t do much for casual sex, but still this advice from a clothing perspective is what I believe all men should follow

[–]Truedemocracy50 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Yep. The “fratty” look can work in college not because you’re dressing well, but because it shows status of “I’m clearly in a fraternity” and also displays connections and social competence

Fit is everything. Someone disappearing in clothes too big just looks terrible. Give me $25 at TJ Maxx and I can likely find an outfit that will have success with almost any woman. And on my end it isn’t the outfit, it’s the lifting 5x a week and being 6’3

[–]rus9384Misanthrope-1 points0 points  (11 children) | Copy Link

if you’re short your style won’t do much for casual sex

Short men who get casual sex don't rely on their style? Laughable.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (10 children) | Copy Link

Most short men don’t get casual sex at all.

[–]rus9384Misanthrope-1 points0 points  (9 children) | Copy Link

Yes, but better clothes still improve their chances.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (8 children) | Copy Link

Not really. A short man can follow just about every style tip in the world, and it still won’t get him laid. It’ll help find him an LTR though.

[–]rus9384Misanthrope1 point2 points  (7 children) | Copy Link

Short men with beautiful faces can have casual sex with right style, though.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (6 children) | Copy Link

Absolutely, but that has nothing to do with his style.

[–]rus9384Misanthrope1 point2 points  (5 children) | Copy Link

With a shitty style he lowers his chances.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (4 children) | Copy Link

I agree. I’m saying you need the beautiful face to even qualify in the first place. I’m not saying that style isn’t important, but it’s kind of useless because without looks, it doesn’t even matter

[–]rus9384Misanthrope-1 points0 points  (2 children) | Copy Link

Never saying your sorry

You can, when it's clear you are not sorry. Also, this thing works with men too.

All women Almost all humans want a strong leader to tell them what to do, yes even the feminists that insist they don’t

FTFY. "Almost", because someone is a leader.

[–]Truedemocracy50 points1 point  (1 child) | Copy Link

Agree on both counts. Leading for most men is uncomfortable, even if they don’t realize the benefits from it, and would much rather follow another guy (alpha in group)

Sorry has become thrown around so much where if you don’t watch yourself some people say it 20-30 times a day. It should only be said when legitimate, and this should only be 1-4 times a month, or you’re fucking up too much

[–]rus9384Misanthrope-1 points0 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

I mean there is that sarcastic sorry.

[–]eboy4hire2 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

The main nightmare of dating for me is cold approaching women, and getting ghosted 99% of the time. Once I finally found a girl who was chill and dtf, it wasn't hell. I think it is important to be aware of those worst case scenarios that TRP brings up though. It does kind of take a little bit of my soul that every girl that ghosts me is probably fucking some other guy(s), but I admit that's an irrational emotion. When you can literally see what their ass looks like through yoga pants, you hate to be restricted from fucking that girl.

[–]AConvertedLurker2 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Definitely a late bloomer, I'd say there's a LOT that trp gets rights, but also bits it gets wrong.

The self improvement stuff was eye opening, and there's no doubt people treat you waaayyy differently if you're more attractive. I've found "average" women are completely different to me now, and will put up with way more bs. And there are a LOT of girls who almost have double lives in terms of how they act to me then to less attractive guys.

The flip side is it makes you cynical of "average" women but also more empathetic for attractive women, because you can relate to the unwanted attention and lack of quality partners (most guy ARE pretty rubbish ngl).

The main bit trp seems to get wrong imo is the REASON behind "af/BB". It isn't that women "want to ride the cock carousel then settle down" on the whole, they want a high quality guy to settle down with from the start, but attractive guys are happy to fuck down then not commit. If anything, WE'RE the real "af/BB"'s

I learned about the red pill the old way, by experience. I learned it decades before it was a thing or I had access to english or the internet.Although way younger than most would assume, here we have a earlier sex life than in the first world.

It is not a coincidence me and other men were led to the same conclusions and some of those became the red pill. It is just how things are. It happens everywhere, so much so It is reflected here in Brazil the same way it is anywhere else.

I consider that the red pill can predict 70-80% of Women's behavior in the sexual and relationship market place and around 50% of men's behavior. Most data I know of also corroborates it (I am a researcher on economics), so it may have the "why"s incorrect but surelly not the results.

My only hard problem with it is that it is too reliant on evolutionary explanation when I think social environmental condition is well suited enough to explain the data.

[–]missileBellum omnium contra omnes-2 points-1 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

here we have a earlier sex life than in the first world

Out of interest, how much earlier? Why do you think this is?

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

it most start having sex on average by 14-16 years old. Precocious children start around 12.

I know because people here tell me it is "too early" when it actually isn't that much for us.

[–]TheJim66Red God-Emperor of Slut Country1 point2 points  (20 children) | Copy Link

I found it 100% accurate.What do you think it gets wrong?

[–]Midwitticism 1 points [recovered]  (8 children) | Copy Link

Women can’t love, can’t empathize, can’t measure, have no identity of their own, etc..etc...etc...that’s all wrong.

[–]Truedemocracy52 points3 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

TRP is mostly right but way too favorable to men. Yes women are tied to their biology and act irrational because of it. But so do dudes.

[–]chomponthebit0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

There’s an RP women reddit. It’s growing

[–]_Neon_Shadow_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Pretty much.

[–]chomponthebit0 points1 point  (1 child) | Copy Link

RP doesn’t say women can’t love or empathize, it says 1. Women love their children more than their husbands and 2. Women can not empathize when their male SOs encounter hardships - they CAN empathize with their children, or other women though.

I know plenty of men who stuck by their women after they became ill, lost their jobs, or lost loved ones. I also know plenty of women who filed for divorce at the first sign of weakness on their husbands’ part. RP explains the whys from an behavioural, evolutionary psychology standpoint without moralizing, or judgement.

[–]TheJim66Red God-Emperor of Slut Country-1 points0 points  (2 children) | Copy Link

They can love .They just love in a different way than men do.

The measure thing is a joke ...chill

That women have a herd mentality is easily observable everywhere you go.I can't see how you can deny it.

[–]TheReformist941 point2 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

How would you explain how they love

[–]PickUpScientistMaroon Pill0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

conditionally

[–]rus9384Misanthrope2 points3 points  (8 children) | Copy Link

What about the most responsible teenager?

[–]TheJim66Red God-Emperor of Slut Country-1 points0 points  (7 children) | Copy Link

I find it accurate.People just have an averse reaction to it because it sounds crude.I still haven't seen a woman take responsibility for anything bad happening ever.They are also too emotional.

[–]rus9384Misanthrope2 points3 points  (6 children) | Copy Link

Women take responsibility at work all the time.

They don't take responsibility when they are allowed not to.

[–]TheJim66Red God-Emperor of Slut Country0 points1 point  (5 children) | Copy Link

I've never seen that.

[–]rus9384Misanthrope3 points4 points  (4 children) | Copy Link

Women don't take responsibility at work? Well, then they are fired quickly.

[–]TheJim66Red God-Emperor of Slut Country1 point2 points  (3 children) | Copy Link

Taking responsibility under the threat of being fired doesn't really matter on the grand scheme.In their heads it still wasn't their fault and they will say so the moment the boss is out.Real life isn't like work and consequences aren't so immediate and unavoidable.

[–]rus9384Misanthrope1 point2 points  (2 children) | Copy Link

All people take responsibility under the threat. Since the childhood when they were punished for wrong-doings.

If a woman exploits you by taking no responsibility, she is in the position of power over you.

[–]TheJim66Red God-Emperor of Slut Country0 points1 point  (1 child) | Copy Link

Men though do take responsibility even without any threats.Doesnt always happen but it definitely is more common with them than with women.

[–]rus9384Misanthrope0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Can't come up with an example.

[–]eboy4hire0 points1 point  (1 child) | Copy Link

I don't think the ways it tells you to act are practical. I do however think that the worst case scenarios they tell you about are important to be vigilant towards.

[–]TheJim66Red God-Emperor of Slut Country0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

What's not practical?

It's a fuckin tool box. Take what works for you and ditch the rest. The bulk of what's said is allegorical and anecdotal to make stupid BP men realize that their ways are shit.

[–]jax006 1 points [recovered]  (1 child) | Copy Link

Right?

Everything about hypergamy, pushing past LMR, being "alpha" until you've got enough masculinity tokens^tm, abundance mentality, ect.

Wrong?

AWALT. You can def find unicorns.

[–]TheJim66Red God-Emperor of Slut Country1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

AWALT talks about female nature.That their sexual attraction works in a certain way and that they have an inclination to act certain ways when they lose it.Noones saying there aren't high quality women.Either because of upbringing,social pressure,context,whatever there are women who will never screw you over and they will treat you right.But they too will respond favorably to the same things,turned off by the same things and want to follow their Hypergamy if they don't find you attractive anymore.Awalt but whether they act on their nature is another topic.

[–]j3wbacca9960 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

So my situation was a little different. I wasn’t totally unsuccessful when it came to girls in high school, but I still didn’t know what I was doing at all. If I got laid, it basically was an accident, and it would be hard for me to repeat that experience again with a different girl.

It wasn’t until TRP that I actually acquired a sexual strategy that I could repeat again and again that I could use with different girls. For me, TRP is about 85%-90% absolute truth. I’m engaged now, but I have no idea how I’d get to this point without TRP.

[–]MrHerbSherman🤠 howdy-1 points0 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

More or less right

Apparently it gets “women’s lived experiences” wrong but I don’t really care about that because I don’t think someone’s internal state is super valuable or meaningful

Also it’s very over the top, you have to take all the topics and dial them way way way back down for it to actually resemble the real world

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
