guys my age

i would recommend that men stop using the word guys , we need to take back the language , at 18 you are a man eligible to fight and die for your country or go out into the world and build a better one. If we start respecting ourselves as men and live up to it when you approach a girl she should see you from this position. i believe men are worth alot more than women and have alot more potential .

The post was decent, but the format of your blog makes the words difficult to read. Wrong font, too large, and white text on black background is painful for many people.

I checked out Michael's Story, I wasn't sure if I read it or not. It ruined my mood. But it got me back in to proper mindset. Lately I've been way too compassionate towards saggy old twats crying about their misfortunes.

I just read "Dinner with Michael" from the sidebar. While it does present many of the red pill ideas, it reads to me like a made up story from someone who is experiencing rejection from women at a young age and was imagining what his future will be like.

Am I the only one who thinks this? Has this story been in any way vetted?

I've read through a number of the posts on your site. I think your premise is sound. Not many 20 somethings get that (for men at least) this is an ideal time to spend a decade or so building your Big 3: Assets, Fitness and Game (in the larger sense of the word). And even among those that do know, not many have the discipline to see it through.

Check out her blog. A White Knight has come to her defense already!

I was reading Michael's story, and he was talking about the kind of scum college girls dated and read this:

It didn’t even matter if the guy was black.

WTF

EDIT: I finished reading it. He sounds like a total douche and his story sounds made up.

Great post. I followed the link to her blog and read a fair few of her posts, not just the one you referenced.

I think I've finally hit the next level in understanding, which became apparent in the observations I made on her blog.

The way she writes is with constant justification for her life choices. She makes comments like "the relationship was over before it really started" to attempt to negate any wrongdoing on her part when she became attracted to another guy while in a relationship. She justifies things not working out as her "getting over heart break" and going through phases.

This pattern continues throughout. Nothing is ever her fault, it's all justified and she is still a good girl.

I don't blame this girl. She is not evil or significantly harmful.

It's a coping mechanism. If we tell ourselves that it's not our fault, we can cope better. We want the best for ourselves. We are selfish. I can accept this now, because I understand it.

I read your article and I liked it a lot. As a 25 year-old myself, recently single and just discovering the red pill (as of a few months ago), I can say I wholeheartedly agree with what you have to say. Focusing on understanding the female psyche, getting physically fit, and building wealth is what I have vowed to myself to focus on from now on. I think of it like Walter White when he talked about his "Empire", I want to build an "Empire" of myself, and in the process I'm pretty sure I will draw some attention from the opposite sex.

Hi all, thanks for the feedback, I'll be working on improving the legibility issue. I was told by my mentor that black backgrounds are easiest on the eyes for the long form copy I tend to write but I'll be going back to a white background and getting a better font.

Other than that, I'm glad that many of you found the post helpful.

Also, the young woman who writes the 20something blog is just an acquaintance of mine but nonetheless she is a very sweet girl. I've got nothing against her and I think some of the advice she gives is spot on for girls.

For guys though, I think you need to be a little more draconian and strategic hence why TRP has become so popular. Anyway, she's no different than me and it's good that she's doing her best to reach out to young people our age...despite the fact that girls sometimes give erroneous dating advice to guys. No need to tar and feather her or anything...just wanted to use it as an example.

If TRP went down tomorrow, we would still have puerarchy.com.

Also @redpillschool, do you have a twitter that we can get at you at?

I have no comments on the content, but since you are essentially hawking your own wares, I must comment on your site design.

When I open the linked page, I see no content. There is a logo, a graph that makes no sense at all, and some countdown timers counting down to the same day in 2013 and 2014. (What is the significance of this date?) Then there is what at first seems like a heading (but I don't think it is), something about facebook (Eh?), a huge arrow which doesn't do anything. It doesn't make sense! Then we finally get to what seems to be the content, 1,5 pages down. HUGE type. Horrible font.

The front page has more random countdown timers, stick figure men, a menu of articles which is reasonably useful, and at the bottom, all the timers I'll need, for anything, ever.

The "Blog" page has a length that scientists might use to approximate infinity. It is impossible to find anything on it, least of all the next post, should one try to do so.

There is a concept in newspaper called "above the fold". It signifies the part of the page that you can see when the paper is folded as it usually is at the newsagent. That part is what sells the paper, and it is therefore critical that it is appealing. You hide all your content below the fold. The worst part is that you fill up the visible part with nonsensical junk.

The same concept is relevant to the "blog" page. Wordpress (or whatever you use) has a feature that will hide the content after a point you choose. The user can see the introduction to each post, and must then click to read more. It makes your page easier to take in.

Your content is what you want to promote, so have it front and center instead of hiding it.

You use a number of different fonts. Using a fancy font for a logo or heading is fine, but it is critical that your text is easy to read. If you're not a huge font snob, that means using something like Times or Helvetica, and black text on a white background.

You want to know why I won't comment on your content? Because my eyes hurt when I try to read your text.

Basically: Install wordpress with default theme, load content. Your will seem way more professional, and it will be much easier to read. If you have two different websited with the same content but this vs. some default blog layout, I guarantee you the default one will be way more successful.

TL;DR: Your website looks like it was made by a 15-year old in 1999. Because I made something similar about that time.
