i'm here trying to absorb and acquire the "red pill" mentality. i'm beginning to do this by cutting out whats not benefitting me. specifically women i used to hook up with and am no longer really interested in and women who i see no real potential with in the future (read: LJBF), i'm doing this by ceasing the casual texting, talking, etc. i don't really feel like i'm getting anything of substance or value when i do anyway. i'm also withdrawing from some of my social circles and seeking out only the higher quality individuals (people who have their shit together).

I would like to add that i really feel that hanging out with slackers and losers will turn even the brightest individuals into more or less the same thing. also i feel that hanging out with women or maintaining a "friendly" and non-sexual relationship will only subconsciously encourage "beta" behavior.

i guess my question is: did anyone else do this and see positive results? could you please go into detail. what you did. how you did it and what was the outcome

for reference: i'm 26/m. i posted here a few days ago but have since changed handles (created this today)
