The collective consciousness of TRP is struggling with decreased post quality. Let's remember that this is a good thing in the short term; it means that more and more men are waking up. Necessary growing pains, but we can't tolerate it long-term. That said, share what you think makes a post excellent. Here's what I've got.

The objective of TRP posts is to promote male empowerment and success. This can be done in three ways: seeking honest feedback, detailing progress, sharing success.

Seeking Feedback: I'm sure many veterans here will utter an "Amen"; seeking feedback here is not license for you to be a sissy, Jack. None of us wants to read about your tears, how hurt you feel, or the Chad who laid the pipe on your girl like Mario. Seeking feedback is sharing details of what you did and collecting ideas for how it could have been even more successful. Feedback alerts you to risks you may have been blind to. Feedback hurts your pride. You cannot become an alpha without an alpha telling you why you suck. Sack up. This is the scientific method of male dominance, not an echo chamber of praise. This is where conjecture becomes truth. If you can't handle it, I've heard talk of purple pilling. Go and try that.

Sharing Progress: This is where Veterans can look at you and give you the ol' "attaboy", as well as humble you and douse you with cold water when you feel like you're Jordan Belfort when really you got to second base after a milkshake. This is where the Engineers take your process apart and inspect its primal origins for blue-pillery. This is the most beautiful part of TRP; we see estrogen-filled fat sacks showing the first signs of becoming winners. Becoming men.

Success Stories: Your first cold approach? Your first number? Your first plate? Your eighth plate in eight nights? This is where the champs wave to the crowd. This is where the gold medal is placed around your neck. Your time to shine after the hard work. The burial of beta, the triumph of alpha. These are supposed to be the most upvoted posts here. It's the realization of male counterculture. This is the Red Pill.

So... why do posts here suck? What makes a TRP post legend? What makes it sissy trash?

1.) Focus

Quit rambling. Tell the story as it happened, not as a smut novel. You're not trying to make us rub ourselves, cuck. Say what happened. Say what you did or didn't do to make it happen. You're not seeking our approval; you want to hear level-headed Vets and Engineers tell you what you needed to do to make your experience level 10 instead of 8. Read your post three times before you post it. Can the trigger fingers; we won't hesitate to call you on it.

2.) Language/Culture

Use TRP language. Frames, plates, beta, alpha, SMV. Type coherently. We're not English teachers, but we're not teenagers, either.

3.) Detail a process

No matter what the post, what we care about is a process. Mention timeframes. Steps you took. Books you read. People you talked to, posts that helped you. (Mentions are the biggest form of praise. Nothing makes a man prouder than realizing he helped a little sissyboy become a raging alpha.)

4.) Interact with commenters

If busy, self-actualized men take the time out of their day to help you with this, respond to what they have to say. Agree, disagree, offer thanks or even dismissal if the comment warrants it. You don't have to answer every comment, but this isn't the offmychest or rant subreddits. We're a community. We are not your diary.

5.) Accountability

If you want to pity yourself, go over to the kindvoice subreddit. Real men own up to their error. They realize they are responsible for their decline or ascension. Short? Fat? Ethnic? Depressed? This is not your "why me?" support group. We are vicious if we smell weakness. Make lemonade, boys. Someone worse off than you somehow became better than you are now. Find out why you stayed behind.

6.) Humor

Be funny, but remember - you're not Bill Burr, so don't go overboard.

Think before you post. Use the search button.

And if you're reading this and still haven't taken the pill, you shouldn't even think about hitting the post button.
