Why are there no progress posts on TRP?

gregariousnefarious · 2015-02-16T22:40:02+00:00

This is a valid question. There are ways to post pics without showing your face or environment.

wickedstag · 2015-02-16T21:58:44+00:00

I suppose the thank you TRP posts are this.

YaBoiTibzz · 2015-02-17T01:11:34+00:00

My suspicion is that many more TRPers don't actually lift or do all of the prescribed stuff than would be willing to admit it. Doxxing is also a valid point though. They are one of the most hated subs after all, so prominent members of the board should be legitimately concerned by the possibility.

VarsitySlutTeamCpt · 2015-02-17T05:38:29+00:00

No good reason to do so really. You're in it for yourself not to impress others.

Whisper · 2015-02-18T00:00:31+00:00

I mean people on trp always say the sub helped them, but I've never actually seen a redditor be transformed by the trp.

And why exactly do I give a fuck what you've seen?

TRP isn't for you. I neither need nor want your approval.

Imagine me as a skinny maladjusted teenager if it helps you sleep better at night. While simultaneously imagining me to be a fat washed-up neckbeard. And too socially awkward to leave my parent's basement while simultaneously a oppressive, privileged patriarch. And unable to talk to girls without a cheat sheet while simultaneously a ruthless seducer and borderline rapist capable of near mind-control levels of manipulation.

Hey, anything that supports the narrative, right?

Most people fear being doxxed.

But if you don't believe about the whole lifting culture, check out gaylubebro's twitter. Man is jacked.

TheRealMewt · 2015-02-17T07:29:07+00:00

There are field reports for that kind of thing. I imagine users could use those to give some kind of visual depiction of maybe who they are or how they improved their appearance like /r/fitness or /r/mensfashion would probably do, but how would it be done for the whole sexual attraction aspect of red pill improvement? Take a picture of you with a girl at the club? What would the picture be of - you two kissing or maybe it's of a girl yelling at the guy and he's smirking like it ain't shit? It'd be hard attaching that kind of improvement to a picture to be uploaded once every couple of months.

riverraider69 · 2015-02-17T19:59:24+00:00

I've probably changed just enough in the past 4 months to be worth a transformation post. But I wouldn't even think to put one in /r/TheRedPill, for a different reason from doxxing: you don't brag on trp about lifting because it's the most basic thing you can do. Of course you lift and eat clean. You also brush your teeth in the morning and take regular showers. It's necessary, but far from enough.

an_absolute_rose · 2015-02-16T21:52:49+00:00

Fear of being doxxed.

I weighed around 225 and am around 175 lbs now. It was easy for me as I already had muscle, I just needed to lose weight. I've talked about it in more detail before.

Mysogyny · 2015-02-17T01:41:12+00:00

You post on one of those groups to talk about physical progress. You post on TRP to talk about psychological progress.

Locastor · 2015-02-17T07:55:51+00:00

There's a sub-sub for that kind of post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/thankTRP

MmmVariousEggs · 2015-02-17T00:55:53+00:00

Long story short: If you have to hide your social dynamic system from your peers there is something off. I thought you guys were alphas and can handle anything! I understand why you don't post pics of yourself on the internet but this is a snivelly excuse to me. What I'm looking for is the the reasons why you don't talk about trp in real life. What are you worried about?

RedPillWatchTower · 2015-02-17T02:34:09+00:00

Are you high? We are the most hated sub on Reddit, behind /r/CoonTown, behind /r/BeatingWomen2, behind /r/rapingwomen. Yeah, lets have men start posting personal pictures. Great idea.

MistressNatalie1 · 2015-02-17T00:09:10+00:00

Fear of Doxxing. It's happened before.

You don't need to be a misogynist to be a terrible person.

Kozen117 · 2015-02-17T20:18:27+00:00

But if TRP truly isn't a hateful sub, why are red pillers' so protective of their identity? I understand people may want basic privacy, but red pill comes with a certain paranoia i haven't seen elsewhere on reddit. Even the people on /r/spacedicks aren't so afraid of being doxxed.

relationshipdownvote · 2015-02-17T03:34:01+00:00

Half the page is field reports, which are generally progress posts, then there is basically an entire sub-sub devoted to it, /r/thanktrp

BhiQ · 2015-02-17T11:43:02+00:00

What do you expect? Why would there be body building progress posts if the sub isn't exclusively about body building?

There are many FRs that basically start with "I was a shy beta until I discovered TRP now listen to what I did". Many of them in a "not quite there yet" style too.

I_PUNCH_HORSES · 2015-02-17T16:53:09+00:00

Because part of evolving into the RP is not needing outside validation.

DaThrowaway808 · 2015-02-16T21:54:42+00:00

Look at any sub like /r/bodybuilding, /r/gainit, /r/loseit, /r/fitness, /r/brogress.....

Those have easy visual indicators of progress.

Then why are there no transformation posts?

How do you take a picture of not having any dates to being able to pick up women? Would you post a video of you in the act? The main problem is that PUA is frowned upon, but TRP is HATED. Putting anything up that could lead to you personally would lead to doxxing.

There are pure text posts about people who have said TRP has changed their lives, but if you don't believe things like field reports, then you probably don't believe those posts either.

M_rafay · 2015-02-16T22:33:01+00:00

Oh, sure, let me just make the doxxing attempts on me that much smoother. Lets add a name and address while we're at it.

CrazyHorseInvincible · 2015-02-17T22:57:38+00:00

Then why are there no transformation posts?

Because the instant I see one, I remove it and ban the poster, that's why.

Archwinger · 2015-02-17T17:59:41+00:00

Words can't describe how much better I look today with a shirt off versus a year ago. I also make more money, get loads of respect at work, and my marriage is ten times better.

But I talk shit about women on the internet, so I don't deserve any of this. It would be just and right if one of you online heroes would snoop me out, get me fired, and get my wife to leave me. Especially before I can corrupt our daughter by allowing her to see what a successful man looks like.

masterrod · 2015-02-17T04:36:36+00:00

What kind of pics would you want to see? old chicks to new chicks?

I'm not sure this is possible or ethical.

DaThrowaway808 · 2015-02-17T00:14:30+00:00

Probably mainly because it's not necessary. I mean TRP usually outsources it's body building help to other subs like lean gains or fitness, so if you want to see how effective those programs are, go straight to the source.

Same thing for fashion, you get pointed to male fashion advice (which has before/after pics there if you're curious?)

What would be the point of showing that being on TRP has made you gain mass?

Edit: http://www.reddit.com/r/TheBluePill/comments/2w49gq/something_ive_noticed_about_trp/ I see the inspiration of your post. You're right, this of course disproves TRP. No way following the advice of another bodybuilding subreddit suggested by TRP can help you get a better body! /s

CheesyFedora · 2015-02-17T01:57:15+00:00

The bluepill brigaders will doxx TRPers just like the members of SRS would and the fatties who lurk fatpeoplehate. This is because they are all the same people.

MrGunny · 2015-02-17T20:08:34+00:00

I think you're reading too much into this - there are lots of subreddits for posting progress/transformation pics. TRP also says that you can still be a supplicating BB if you don't have frame and self-confidence. Working out is just a basic part of building attractiveness.

winstonsmithluvsbb · 2015-02-19T00:35:48+00:00

Because there's no progress.

occupythekitchen · 2015-02-23T19:57:54+00:00

Those are called field reports.

But here's my experience since reading the red pill I've lost 25 pounds, and am getting a different chick once a week. Haven't plated any, could have but she is dating a friend long distance and I have loyalty to him whereas she wants to go dick shopping and enjoys rubbing her tits on my arms when she is feeling frisky. She went as far as show me a picture of her ass she had on her phone to entice me.

Guess what my buddy is? BP, love the dude but she is going to chew up his heart and spit it out.

refutesstupidnotions · 2015-02-16T22:40:35+00:00

Doxxing.

sh1v · 2015-02-17T11:34:09+00:00

You'd be surprised how much identifying features a body shot can have in it. ALso you'd best believe our haters would be going over each pic with a fine toothed comb.

ruorgimorphu · 2015-02-18T01:19:54+00:00

Because no one cares.

Ahh because /r/theredpill is the only/best place for real red pill discussion and the mods and contributors work hard to keep the content concentrated and useful, and progress pics are really lame in comparison. The red pill is really controversial stuff and hard to take and agree with at first, and there is anger mixed in at some point, so it's silly to mix in simple pictures with that. The community wants to keep its base (/r/theredpill) as useful as possible. PLUS it makes so much more sense to go to a neighbouring sub just because it's so easy. So you don't even need a very big reason to explain the phenomenon. All the subs you post are primarily for lifting, whereas that's secondary and simply a basic first baby step to the red pill, and it's such a simple concept it doesn't need a lot of air time.
