Hello!

[Obligatory] Happy Cake Day to me! Nobody cares! Let's get into it.

Today is about attempting to help encourage people to figure out their lives, and what they want out of life. A shocking amount of younger guys I talk to do not know, and many more I interact with have vague answers (which is alright!) but don't have definitive objectives declared. I then started asking people in my peer groups and slightly older (30's) and realized that an astonishing amount of people have no clue what the literal fuck they are doing with their own lives! So, here we are.

As always, the standard disclaimers apply with my posts. This is for those who are rather new(er) to the TRP scene and need some initial guidance and instruction. I personally believe the post quality has gone down and the majority of the old guard are moving on or washing out, and these posts are to help pass down generational wisdom to the new 'freshmen class' as the old class are now 'veterans' and it is now time to pay it forward and pass down our combined knowledge before we lose the community and our principles entirely. Feel free to cosign or blast my ass in the comment section below.

Finally, not ONLY should your asses be reading the sidebar repeatedly, but you should also NOT JUST be sorting by new and looking at more historical posts with high upvote counts as well as most controversial posts for alternative perspectives so you know where we have been, and where we are going. There's tons of hidden gems from 5+ years ago you probably haven't read yet. Search by key terms too. Always read comment sections.

This week's topic: Play Chess While Everyone Else Is Playing Checkers

This shit is about overall life strategy. I won't lie to you, I'm kind of fucking stupid. I am sure you are too. That's okay, fellow idiot, because you are taking the necessary steps to increase your overall intelligence. The best way to defeat our inherent stupidity and shortcomings is to Read, and Think. Shit's that simple, post is over goodbye everyo--

No. Not that simple. Not At All.

If you are younger especially, (18-25) range, there's alot of shit that benefits you the sooner you figure it out. You need to figure yourself out. Everyone is different and I cannot dictate exactly what is 'missing' or what may work best for you, but everyone has something going on we need to fix, and everyone has goals, dreams, and ambitions. Or at least they should, theoretically speaking. We need to plan, for our own lives, for ourselves. If you're under a certain age or maturity level, I can assure you that most of the people around you have not spent any time thinking about their 5, 10 or 15 year plans and have no clue what the fuck they are doing with themselves. And that is a fucking problem.

You need to be cold and calculating, you need to perform value assessments on all the relationships and people around you, and start understanding how your own actions contribute towards your goals. Figure your career out, your hobbies, your goals as early as possible. Build a mental picture of the lifestyle you want to have, and ask yourself questions about that vision. Do you want to own pets? What kind of housing do you want? Do you want a career or job that has you travel alot? Are you going to sell out and have a family one day? Do you wish to have expensive hobbies? What about having a home office? How long do you want your ideal commute to be? Beach, City, or Mountains? Read and research as much as you can about all your goals, attempt to meet people who have already achieved what you're looking for, and find out the fastest way to get there. If you want to work on exotic cars, why are you an electrician? If you want to write books, why aren't you writing and improving?

In my experience, even well meaning people would give me bad advice to 'help' me achieve my goals and they couldn't be farther from the truth. It is imperative you learn how to ask questions, and who to ask the right questions. There are many pathways but only a few small roads to actually get to your destination.

Assess all your interactions against your objectives and plan accordingly, determine how all your relationships and your family, your friends fall in line with your objective. If you want to be a millionaire with Fuck You money, what kind of effort are you putting into that goal? Do you have those kinds of wealthy people around you, do you have access to those social circles? If you want to be ripped and jacked as shit, how much effort are you putting into the gym? Are the closest people around you picking up heavy shit and putting it back down on a consistent basis? Ask yourself how all your relationships serve you, and then ask yourself how you spend your time and which hobbies further your goals. It's a War of Attrition, a War of Inches, where you must put in small effort consistently over a long period of time to yield the results that you want.

Sorry bruv, Living your life to chase women is not a plan.

If you're reading TRP because you're only here to 'learn how to game women' or 'just impress women' or 'chase after that one girl' then you're here for the completely wrong reasons. Close the tab, log out, never come back here. You should be here for nobody else but Yourself.
As a reminder, we absolutely do not do this shit for women, we do it for Ourselves. The key here is that when you're in your primary unshakeable frame, women will naturally fall into line with what YOU want as that submissiveness is part of their nature intrinsically. Of course there are exceptions to the rules and blah blah, but as a generality if you had the confidence and social graces, the sex appeal, the body, the values, personality, and resources, that internal character and fortitude, then what they "want" doesn't matter because as a high value man you dictate the terms and conditions of the relationship and every interaction. "Learning Game" is only effective when there is an already existing foundation of having your life together and already having figured shit out. Sure, homeless dudes and jailbirds can pull, but they're also fucking around with mentally damaged, medium- or low- value women anyway, and none of us want you picking through the dregs involuntarily.

Most guys haven't really seen it or know, but I assure you all the "bad behaviors" we on TRP love to bitch about evaporate when you have enough of the "stuff". For the right types of men, the vast majority of women will (at least temporarily) throw out the social programming of feminism and cock carousel. It's in their nature to ride the carousel, so don't get fooled by the temporary changes, but the right guy can quite easily mold many women to their desires and all the bullshit goes right out the window. If they're so indoctrinated that they still double down on their feminist ideals and ideology, then simply toss them as they are ultimately more of a liability than an asset and could compromise your entire operation. This also goes for non-sextual relationships; people who don't believe in your vision need to be ejected immdiately especially when they take more from you than they give. Take the garbage to the curb outside where it belongs.

In my personal experience (and I'm sure many others can attest), they don't even know what they want half the time anyway and crafting an image that fulfills their agenda misses the mark, every time, because it's inauthentic and operating on someone else's agenda for your life which automatically gives them the upper hand during interactions, even subconsciously.

Repeat after me, out loud, to yourself: " We Men do not exist to serve the fickle whims of Women. We serve Ourselves, First (and maybe God if you're of the religious persuasion)".

It's better to focus on yourself and constantly be improving so you can be in the niche group of Men who dictate the terms of their every engagement with women with a massive strategic advantage by virtue of their social status. Without a plan, without a strategy, without motivation, it is difficult to stay on your course and to live your own life the way that you want.

Make bank, lift heavy shit, dress well, be interesting, create a life insulated from outside influence that you want to live, don't compromise on how you want to live and filter out people who aren't conducive to these goals. Then keep at it and continue refining, evolving, and improving til you're fucking dead.

Stand Strong, Live Strong.
