Harsh truth Time

Most people seem unable to look at themselves objectively and improve in general, let alone become top 10-20%.

I’m seeing a trend that even in my age group (24) no one even has hobbies.

They’ll see me reading and ask why or how I find the time.

They see weekly improvements in my appearance or posture and question why I look or I “look more confident”.

I mention the business I’m starting and the only question they ask is “how much money are you making???”

Most people are fucked. They don’t educate themselves, dress themselves well, or try to better themselves in any way; life seems to be distraction after comfortable distraction to them. They’re terrified if they happen to fail or things don’t go exactly their way.

That’s your competition.

Get naked and stand in front of a mirror. Would you fuck yourself? If the answer is no, you need to work harder.

Take a look at your bank account. Do you have enough money to do whatever you want for the next few months and not get bankrupt? If not, you need to work harder.

When you're out with your friends, observe the conversations. Do they hang onto your words and respect you and your opinions? If not, you need to work harder.

TRP deals with reality. Reality is your best friend. Face it, and take steps to turn your ideal self into reality.

The thing n00bs, particularly guys who haven’t tasted success in life, with women, etc., is that they think there is some Magic Fairy Dust of Awesomeness that the can just sprinkle on themselves and 15 minutes later they will have a million dollars, a 6-pack and 3 bikini models.

Shit doesn’t work that way. Life is struggle. Self-improvement is difficult. With it, you can, however, be the best version of yourself and lives your best life. Maybe that will include material and sexual success but that is up to you. TRP simply gives you the tools.

Victim mindset is a terrible mentality to have. When you always have an excuse for why you can’t be better, you’ll remain a failure. Complaining and bitching annoys the hell out of me and I can’t be in the presence of a man who does it. That’s why my circle is small. I only want to be around men who set big goals and go after them. If you fail, learn from your mistakes and keep moving forward. Stop blaming others for your miserable position in life and start looking at yourself. It all starts with YOU!

The most common one is translated by William Scott Wilson. There is another one that is around, I forgot the translators name, but I prefer the Wilson translation.

As far as the medicine this guy seems to be referring to, is definitely TCM (traditional Chinese medicine). Reading the pulse is common practice when diagnosing patients. The best books to read are the classic texts, mainly, Huang Di Nei Jing ( the yellow emperor’s internal classic ), Nan Jing ( classic of difficulties ), and the Shang Han Lun ( cold damage treatise ). These three books are the foundation of TCM. The best one in translation is the Shang Han Lun translated by Craig Mitchell. The other 2, the English translations aren’t too good. There’s a plethora of books on TCM outside of the classics. A good start is a book called “the web that has no weaver”, this one is basically an overview of the art of tcm and isn’t actually a clinical book with diagnosis patterns and prescriptions.

This is from the Hagakure, and he was saying this a long time ago,

According to a certain person, a number of years ago, the late Matsuguma Kyōan told this story:

“In the practice of medicine there is a different treatment according to the Yin and Yang of men and women. There is also a difference in pulse. In the last fifty years, however, men’s pulse has become the same as women’s. Noticing this, in the treatment of eye disease I applied women’s treatment to men and found it suitable. When I observed the application of men’s treatment to men, there was no result. Thus I knew that men’s spirit had weakened and that they had become the same as women, and the end of the world had come. Since I witnessed this with certainty, I kept it a secret.

“When looking at the men of today with this in mind, those who could be thought to have women’s pulse are many indeed, and those who seem like real men few indeed. Because of this, if one were to make a little effort, he would be able to take the upper hand quite easily. That there are few men who are able to cut well in beheadings is further proof that men’s courage has waned. And when one comes to speak of kaishaku, it has become an age of men who are prudent and clever at making excuses. Forty or fifty years ago, when such things as matanuki were considered manly, a man wouldn’t show an unscarred thigh to his fellows, so he would pierce it himself.

“All of man’s work is a bloody business. That fact, today, is considered foolish, affairs are finished cleverly with words alone, and jobs that require effort are avoided. I would like young men to have some understanding of this.”

"If every woman became a 10, no one would be a 10."

That's some Disney shit. If every woman became a 10, life would be great.

The same goes for men. Hell, if every person was a 10, the world would be a beautiful place.

Well first you have to see the problem, realize that it was nothing(Oneitus, emotional trauma, etc) and say something like I don’t want this anymore, there must be another way. That’s why we come here.

That’s why children go to foster care and why people get a divorce.

Our strategy should be not to throw the baby out with the bath water. Don’t leave your family because they aren’t spiritual enough. Don’t leave your job because it’s not spiritual enough. Don’t do all the silly things people do.. especially young men without a mentor. Be normal. Do what everybody else is doing. Pursue a relationship, pursue a career pursue a family. Take care of your body(LIFT) but at the same time your doing all of that just watch yourself. Eventually you will really begin to notice a difference. People will start to say hey, you’ve changed and if your smart you will just wink or smile and say nothing. (Stoic; love and be silent)

and how to pursue your own philanthropic goals.

Either you're misunderstanding TRP or you're misunderstanding "philanthropic", OP :)

1) if you’re prepubescent, check your testosterone (total and free) levels. You can change your morphology permanently in this age range.

2) if you’re post puberty, still check them out, but know that major craniofacial changes are unlikely to happen (do it cause you need optimal levels for muscle building and recovery). At this level, seriously consider plastic surgery depending on how you think you look (there are objective measures to measure your facial masculinity and attractiveness).

Looks are probably the most important factor that puts you in the top 20%.

Man I completely relate to this. Most people are just unmotivated and stupid. A lot of people I’ve met recently just don’t do anything of value. It’s either that or they aren’t telling anyone. Also they are fucking boring, they don’t have passions and interests. I’m not saint either I engage in escapism too but I think I have a lot more drive and motivation and direction than most people.

Interesting post, but I disagree in some points.

This sub is officially outlined as a discussion of sexual strategy. Fortunately for us, it has evolved into much more and has become a pretty solid one-stop shop of how to truly get your proverbial shit together as a man.

We have EC’s providing valuable insights into all sorts of areas like Finances, Fitness & Nutrition, Legal advice, Online Dating, Fashion, Personal Hygiene, Self Defense, how to not only survive but excel in the corporate world, and how to pursue your own philanthropic goals.

Now, time to start putting out some harsh truth, to motivate some of you incels still holding onto the notion that the world owes you what you’re not willing to work for.

I agree 100%, I'd say this sub started maybe like a harsher truth of what could be found in the seduction sub. I was a member in there first and got linked by them here, there is no filter bullshit here, truths are said, no matter how they hurt.

Sometimes I lurk in that sub and I have to say that everyday they look more like us, they stop using BP rationalizing.

Here is where I start to agree in some points. As always, and as happens with your post, this is all based on my personal experience after being here for a while.

It is an un-debatable fact that the 80/20 rule exists. It is also un-debatable, that unless you’re deformed somehow that with some discipline, hard work and implementing everything there is to learn here, you can put yourself in that 20% within a year or two. My personal belief, however, is that the top 10% is the goal everyone here should be reaching to attain.

When you talk about the top 20% I guess you mean a top regarding the SMV features package, you might lack a little in some parts of it but make up in the others.

What I have been observing lately is that not all weight the same, being looks the most important, most concretely feminized facial features and height.

Now focusing purely in the sexual dynamics part of TRP: It doesn't matter how much a 5'7", bald and classified as a low sex appeal ethnicity in his environement trains, diets, practices games and does well in his job.

Take him out to the public, and specifically night life and he'll see how his 6'3" white caucassian mate who goes to the gym once a month (enough to not be faT), spends all day playing PS4 after work gets all the attention.

I find hard for this guy to find any purpose/motivation. Because yes meing all of what I said of the first guy it'd be worse if he didn't go to the gym/read/game/etc... But without progress in the sexual marketplace, how can he find the motivation?
