Enlightenment?

this is the feeling of not having a strong goal to pursue. you basically took the power of pussy in your life and reduced it from inflated to normal levels. now there is a vacuum. fill it with a mission.

Yes, I get called a sociopath a lot now. And girls tell me they are going to be the ones that will make me feel emotions, haha

It's just like anything else. Any paradigm changing event will have a "honeymoon" period. True progress takes constant work.

You stopped basing your happiness on things outside of yourself. Thats a good thing.

Swallowing the red pill means giving up the idea of ever being in an equal loving relationship. You have to admit to yourself that what that amounts to is little more than wishful thinking in the real world. The women of reality are nothing at all like the women you were raised to believe existed. You have to be in control of the relationship, or she will walk all over you every time.

I went through the same phases as you. Unbelievable rage, indifference, amusement, and now acceptance.

I'm currently in a relationship where I have complete control, and the only thing stopping me from falling in love with this girl is the knowledge that the only reason things are working between us is because I'm not blinded by the concept of love. That, and I don't fall for any of her shit. I'm very real at all times, and I don't excuse poor behavior ever. She knows that I have rules and expectations, and if she crosses any lines, it's over.

At first I was sad/disappointed in what I discovered after swallowing the pill. Real love in the form that I imagined it doesn't exist, or at least it's unreasonably difficult to achieve. Then I grew to accept reality. That disappointment grew into excitement when I was able to put some of these RP theories into practice and managed to make pussy work for me instead of the other way around. Even today, every time I'm hanging out with a girl and she's begging to suck me off I just do a discreet fist pump and say, "man...the people that try to discredit the red pill just don't know...they just don't know..."

But now I've begun to care less about proving that I can get pussy, and I definitely don't care anymore if a woman will ever 'love' me. I'm just existing, improving myself for me and totally cool with women being hypergamous and solipsistic - ultimately it's not their fault after all.

I've been stuck, for what feels like centuries, in the "dog eating the bacon" stage.

Fill your life with purpose, lift weights and meditate. Read classic works of philosophy and understand them.

Make your goal power.

Yes. It almost ruined my current relationship but now we're back on track. You have to get over it if you ever want to love someone again.

Owen Cook's latest video about the narrow road might be of interest to you.

I find trying to be "present" helps. Meditation gives the key to becoming more present (I have found). So now when I'm talking to someone I'm not thinking about anything other than the interaction itself, my internal dialogue is turned all the way down, allows me to connect more easily and deeply.

Having felt a deep detachment previously, it truth it was my way of numbing myself to something I didn't want to face. Sounds like you're all sorted with yourself tbh, but there may be some elephant in your mind you need to address?

But now I just feel indifferent

That's the stage I'm at as well. I am much too focused on other stuff to worry about things like rejection.

scuba_comet · 2013-10-10T03:14:59+00:00

I feel the same way. Can anyone tell me if this is a healthy mindset to have when entering a serious relationship? I feel like I barely put any effort in compared to my past relationships.

brownmanisbrown · 2013-10-09T14:27:22+00:00

I realized I had to stop feeling sorry for myself because I wasn't at the point where females found me attractive. It gave me the motivation to hit the gym and get my career in line. Been awesome ever since.
