Here is an idea I have been kicking around:

The blue pill virus (and the myth of the blue pill conspiracy)

Most bad ideas don’t spread because there is some grand “puppet master” at the top, pulling the strings as part of some of carefully orchestrated, preconceived plot.

Most bad ideas actually spread a lot like a virus.

With a virus, people don’t even realize they are infected, at the same time that they are actively passing it on to others. Nobody sets out or carries out a plan to make it happen - the path that it takes has a life of its own.

Blue pill concepts didn’t become as dominant as they are today in the world because of some sort of feminist grand plan. There was nobody at the top, orchestrating and pulling the strings.

It was men, not women, who spread these ideas. And it spread like a virus.

Only men had the power to make this happen. Many thousands of years of human history tell us this. This doesn’t simply change over the course of a relatively tiny slice of time - a few decades maybe. Men are the leaders of human history, and they always have been. Only men have ever truly had be power to change the course of human history.

We need to view modern feminism and our blue pill world as less of the result of an organized conspiracy, and more like the result of the outbreak of a virus.

It is part of human nature to attribute something “bad” as the result of some conspiracy. It gives people an “out.” It is an excuse. It becomes: “well, this proves that I had no chance after all, because this conspiracy was in play, and the deck was stacked against me.” Show me a conspiracy theorist and I’ll show you someone looking for an “out.”

What I am saying is: it was men who stacked the deck against men. Men - not women - are responsible for spreading this blue pill virus.

Beta orbiters. White knights. The guys who hit “like” again and again and again and again, expecting some benefit in return. These are some of the modern day carriers of the blue pill virus. And they are men. In carrying out what they believe is a viable sexual strategy, they spread the blue pill virus - the vast majority of them, without ever realizing it, even for a second.

Sure, women gain benefits from the blue pill virus spreading, but they are not truly the carriers. They never had the power to be the carriers. Just because women are the beneficiaries of a blue pill world doesn’t mean that they had much, if any, of a role in pulling the strings, at the top.

Tips to succeed in an extremely hostile blue pill environment with crab mentality . In which as soon as people see you improving or having any success in life they try to sabotage you.

Tips for overcoming the red pill rage? I was dating a girl when i started reading the rational male, and as i continued reading i couldn't stop thinking about how blind i was! How i let she use me... Every shitest failed, etc... I've embraced the idea of self-improvement that comes with swallowing the red pill but i've been left with the image that no girl will love me. (I say love kinda in the sense of what a blue pill would consider love) Any idea?

Is there such a thing as a beta widow? My wife does all of the alpha widow 'things' like recall the guy, look him up on social media, etc. but it's all stuff like 'I took his virginity' and 'I had him trained perfectly' and she focuses on what made him a loser and how she changed him. This was her boyfriend literally 20 years ago; she's 40. Or is it not a 'widow' thing at all and she's just stroking her ego?

MusicSports · 2018-02-28T18:22:03+00:00

Last night I went out with some friends. I have been interested in one girl for a while. Whenever we are walking somewhere as a group she slides up to me and we have really good conversation with me being cocky funny and stuff like that. She laughs at every joke I make and often does that "you're an asshole :)" slap on my chest to me. When we're in the dancing venue she never gives me an opening to dance with her though. I text her to do something with me outside of these times and she never comes. I guess I'm her BFF for these events out with friends and I should just stop acknowledging her? Girls flake on me 100% of the time when I try to get them to do something alone with me, and I can't tell if it's because I didn't make a stronger move the day I met them or why else, because girls seem to give other guys much more room for mistake.

On another note, I have had sex with 2 girls in my life and both were mentally crazy vegetarians with no friends. I have extreme trouble finding a friend group that I truly desire to be a part of and I often find myself alone and ditching the people I hang out with to find my own fun. Every time I leave them I end up having the time of my life and make a memory that lasts, but I usually don't make friends doing it. I guess this reflects the type of girl that would see me as higher SMV. Vegetarians that don't have friends. It's funny because I know most of the fun places to go and see wherever I am, but have no friends to take with me.

How can I balance my time effectively between self-improvement, work, learning (for an exam), hobbies and relationships?

I feel that I don't have time to do all of them.

Rollo_Mayhem3 · 2018-02-28T22:04:29+00:00

just a quick idea...

what I have been toying with using music to access my inner strength. So for example, listen to a song that gets you "pumped and motivated" first thing in the morning...the song should make you feel an emotional response. That response can later translate into energy because you are activating a part of your brain that you would not have otherwise or has remained dormant. And see how your days goes. it is important to talk to yourself when you have those emotional response for example, telling yourself that you are the best, you a warrior, or whatever you want to tell yourself...those self-talk coupled with the strong emotional response to synergistically produce powerful energy and focus if done overtime...today I just felt a massive piece of energy inside of me today...

robatusf · 2018-02-28T23:20:34+00:00

What do you do when you're "emotionally sore"? I swallowed the pill about 1.5 months ago after finally realizing nothing would ever change for me if I didn't change my approach to life (and flailing around a while before finding this subreddit.) Have been working hard since then on lifting, dressing better, internalizing TRP concepts, etc. Have been putting myself out there and doing things I'd never done before like going out to clubs alone, working my way up to "daygame" cold approaching by chatting up women (without trying to get their numbers), going on several tinder/match dates, etc. Have been getting rejected a lot, which I expected and doesn't bother me TOO much because I can tell I'm much improved from where I was 2-3 months ago...

But gosh I've taken an emotional beating! Am not depressed, am not --quite-- miserable, but I've probably experienced more intense emotions over the past couple months than I had in any 2-month period for a VERY long time, and I'm feeling VERY ragged. I say emotionally "sore" because that's the best analogy I can come up with. My emotions feel just like your muscles do when you've been overdoing workouts regularly; painful and with diminishing capability. I guess I need to give them a rest -- just as one needs rest after physical workouts -- but it's a lot less clear how to rest one's emotions than it is how to rest one's muscles!

Can't recall ever feeling this way before, so have no idea what to do. Any suggestions?

Twobithatter · 2018-03-01T00:07:48+00:00

On a date with a girl and a guy ask, “is that your gf?”. What’s the appropriate response to not come off as needy/clingy but not come off as beta either, Also if she’s not your gf,

Sarky1992 · 2018-03-01T11:52:59+00:00

How do you respond when someone crosses the line with breaking balls? I understand that is something we just do and it is fun, but every now and then there's someone that overdoes it. Did you tell them to shut the fuck up? Ignore? Heavier comeback?

Bighouse556 · 2018-02-28T13:55:36+00:00

Been seeing/fucking this girl for 3 weeks. She was totally obsessed with me, we got high, things got weird. Next morning she starts crying over her ex boyfriend. Cooled off talking to her, she says she's confused she wants to see me as 'friends' she said will still probably fuck me tho. She's also a bit mental because she does loads of drugs. This is probably obvious but shall I just next her and drop all communication or carry on fucking her?? (Feel like she's probably been alpha widowed tbh)

Salted_Pretzel · 2018-02-28T17:46:26+00:00

Do you guys have a self improvement routine besides the gym? I'm curious to know some of your guys routines.

iknowthewhey · 2018-03-01T01:33:36+00:00

I’m fucking tired of this bullshit. I’m lonely as fuck and from reading red pill literature I am positive this is from a blue pill mindset. I read No More Mr Nice Guy and the whole time was like “what the fuck, is this about me?”

I’ve been reading the sidebar and I’ve started adopting strategies to achieve goals I have set. I’ve worked out for a long time so I have some strength but I’m prob 20% bf. I can bench 345 at 235 bw.

I’ve noticed that girls will check me out. I have a full sleeve, I’m muscular, I take care of my clothes and I’m clean. I’ve been approaching at least 1 girl a day. I’ll do more “hey I like your shoes” as I walk around campus to null the fear.

But the problem occurs when I open my mouth. It’s like when I start talking I sound like a ferry. I can see the exact moment when “oh shit never mind” happens in their body language and conversation.

This has to come from neediness and no confidence. I think that aura about myself just vents out of my body language, my vocals, my excitement in talking to a girl.

So from what I’ve read before posting some strategies I’m implementing are: strength training 4/week. CrossFit 5/week after the strength. (Strength is just working sets in Wendler so not much cs tax.) Eating paleo to reduce body fat. Talking to at least one girl a day. Practice guitar 15/min day minimum. (I can play and sing decent). Read the sidebar and other books. (I currently possess RM 1&2, Bang and Day, Nice Guy, Superior Man, Friends and Influence, 7 Habits, The way of men, and a few others I can’t remember.)

Wtf do I do to get rid of this bitch wimp attitude? Looking for mentor advice from this sub.

Romanthehuman · 2018-02-28T16:12:16+00:00

It's commonly said around here that I should only text for logistics, but after experimenting it seems this does not work for me. For example, I met this girl on tinder and things went pretty well in person, but when I texted her 4 days later to try and set something else up she did not respond. I know that could have been for a number of reasons but I suspect my text game is one.

It does not seem like a good idea to just send one text trying to set up a date. Some back and forth is necessary before you do to get them comfortable even if you've already seen them before.

Are there any guidelines for texting I should know about? Links to guides? I just want to hear some thoughts from some more experienced guys.

person8445 · 2018-02-28T17:49:04+00:00

I am more than capable of approaching a girl on her own. The idea of approaching groups feels like a completely different ball game. Any advice or recommended reading?

Boddicker06 · 2018-02-28T20:19:36+00:00

I saw an excellent post about Stoicism and changing your mindset with regards to changing your expectations on things. Now I cannot find it anywhere. Does someone possibly have a link or can guide me toward it? It was in the last couple days and I scoured the thread looking for it.

RuminantBearer · 2018-02-28T21:25:57+00:00

Recommended videos or books for outer game? (PUA)

superiormutation · 2018-03-01T00:23:13+00:00

Any books/videos or other material on improving your conversation skills.Half way through "day-bang" I realized the importance of been able to speak about any topic for a good amount of time

Sajutsu · 2018-03-01T00:43:14+00:00

I remember seeing a post about selling ignorant people (like Westboro Baptist protestors and SJWs) instead of trying to arguing with them what does that mean?

Chandlersc1 · 2018-03-01T01:34:43+00:00

I am a junior in high school, know a good amount of girls but none seem all that interested... I’m 6’5” and lift 4-5x a week, have my life together, somewhat introverted, I’ve known about TRP for a while now. Whenever I talk to girls they just don’t seem very entertained. Any advice? I know it’s a weird age and environment but I’d still like to get with a few and have a good time.

salutjesuisbaguette · 2018-02-28T22:21:15+00:00

Total noob here, tomorrow I have a date, we go to the museum and then to a pub. I have already seen the girl in a party and she signified that she wanted to kiss. But i was more in the mood to have fun and I was totally drunk/stoned so I didn't.

I would like some advice to initiate the first kiss. Since i never really dated someone before. To do it in a smooth way. Any last moment advice ? Or even post out there.

In33dmon3yz · 2018-02-28T14:25:56+00:00

How do you guys cope with Those? I do have more important shit going on than women but she haunts my Mind still like ghosts do ;-) no Contact for 3 months btw . I am also depressed bc of Medical shit i have going on

Nonstopas · 2018-02-28T16:02:29+00:00

I haven't been following stoicism much, or nihilism for that matter, as in reading everyday etc. I am fairly aware of what it is and how a man following this lifestyle should act.

As time passes, i found myself to be less emotional towards my actual friends, what they do and so on, however when it comes to strangers and potential girls i like, it's a bit different. My mom and a few friends call me cold hearted, as in situation like this: my mom send me a link to a student who died of some disease. She had no relation to any of us in any way, besides that she went to the same school that i graduated 2 years ago. I said that people die everyday and i dont need this useless information. I don't think that i went wrong anywhere for that matter, however is being un-emotional, uninterested and bored most of the time by whats going a bad thing? I find myself in places that are boring, even some social circle meetings. I want to be entertained constantly, and have the time of my life, constantly.

Insendi · 2018-03-01T15:56:58+00:00

How long should you wait to text someone you cold approach to set up something?

InevitableRuin · 2018-03-01T16:37:09+00:00

What's TRP's view on the soul of an individual? i mean there's the 'thousand cock stare' used quite frequently, and the eyes are the windows to the soul of a person. Sort of the same as spirit in Mind, Body and Spirit. Should a person meditate, reflect and grow or does it have no place in TRP?

TlMPPA · 2018-03-01T19:46:26+00:00

What are the best ways to approach on the dancefloor? How do I know if someone on the dancefloor is open for advances, other than strong eye contact?

aaasssaaa11 · 2018-03-01T23:52:47+00:00

i was beginning to see a girl i work with, her ltr dumped her approx 2mths prior to us hanging out, i kissed her outside of work on a date, anyway 2 weeks later at the pub with some mates (this girl wasn't there) a girl we're both friends with told me that this chick has been telling her ex she's fucked 3 guys since they broke up.

i couldnt help but lose respect for her and attraction has begun to wane.

i want to fuck her but i also feel like that's a red flag, even if she didn't fuck them, to tell her ex that.

would you pump RP?

muteyooo · Fri Mar 2 4:23:54 2018 UTC

Fucked this chick a few times, known her for a week or so, too clingy. How do I end it?

EatTheRichNZ · 2018-03-05T00:34:20+00:00

25 male living with LTR , with 3 other girls in the same household. Constantly have my frame tested. I had a very BP approach into maintaining friendships with my flat mates in terms of listening to their problems, giving them solutions, wasting unnecessary energy on people who didn't care for me. Do not want to a slave in this energy sucking carousel any longer.

What would be some essential boundaries that I should never cross with them? they are 23-24 HB 8-9's.

JustTheTA · 2018-02-28T14:25:15+00:00

What I’ve gathered from TRP is: don’t go to college unless you have a specific career goal in mind which would require getting educated in a certain fields Financially, college is a bad deal.

I’m a junior in high school, and I have no clue what I want to do in terms of a tradition job. I also have no ideas for alternative career path. At the moment, the only benefit I see to college is moving far away from my family and ghosting them. Only issue is I’ll be dependent on them funding the tuition.

Really what I’m asking for is more concise answers on the benefits and drawbacks of a college education from older/more experienced guys.
