Good work. Long distance relationships don't work. Someone always steps in to give her the attention she isn't getting because of the LDR.
[–]Andrian-TQM13 points14 points15 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Long distance relationships will never work. It doesn't matter if you are alpha, beta or something in-between. Your woman will always be on the search for the part she is missing. Women are hard-wired to be dependent. It's not something bad. It is what it is. You can only monitor it and regulate it when you are present.

Just curious.
What is TRPs definition of long distance?
I get another state, country, etc, but what if you live about an hour drive away from someone?
[–]Senior ContributorSkorchZang6 points7 points8 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
The distance doesn't matter by itself, what really matters is how often you get to see this woman in person. Once every week is good, once every 2 weeks or so is stretching it but can work, anything beyond that is pretty much unworkable so we call it having the Long Distance Relationshit with her, also known as having the Big Fat Nothing.

We live in 2 different cities due to work, so it was a semi-long distant relationship.
These days if you are far apart it never works.
Feel lucky she was distant because it's much, much easier for her to fuck some random dude you don't know than if it was someone who you do know.

I'm surprised it hasn't been flat-out said on TRP: long-distance relationships are for betas and are always a bad deal for the man. A man with self-worth always learns to shun a long distance relationship.

Good. I'm also fucking dead inside.
Much better this way.

If you don't feel angry at her, good. Don't. First, it means that you were never even that close to her. Anger fueled gym sessions are not that useful, you can crush weights for one or two days maybe, but after that it's back to reality, anger is not like some magical preworkout
[–]Karasho 2 points3 points4 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
But again if it gets him to the gym for two days he would not go then..
[–]Rusiano1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
True, but hopefully people use anger more as a jump-start, as opposed to fuel

Ya your right. I've been lifting regularly for 2 years now, would have been nice if I could have used this situation to break through a plateu hahaha
[–]Rusiano0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Oh that's good then, you're already on the right track. I've been hitting the gym again after a 1.5 year hiatus (horrible stupid no good mistake), and Im going more and more frequently
[–]Project_Thor0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
You can still hit her up whenever you head to that city, make female connections wherever you go. This is my plan, Wherever you go have a girl at your beck and call.
[–]sinatura[S] 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Ya I still plan to play it cool, as she knows a lot of other girls that I am also friends with since grad school. I'm not gonna try to act all butt hurt, that doesn't look good XD. Wise words my man.

This is the end goal everybody should aim.
Great post, upvoted.
[–]sinatura[S] -1 points0 points1 point 9 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
So its time to move on, and there's a girl at my gym that's kinda cute, should I approach? Or should I not shit where I eat and just focus on lifting XD
[–]rbxpecp1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Shitting where you eat means at work. It's easy to get a new gym, not as easy to get a new job. Plus you could change up your gym hours if it gets too weird after you break it off with her.
Also, you can't get into trouble with HR at your gym

why are you asking us? the only opinion that should factor into your decision making process is yours. life is the greatest teacher, so go learn from it!
also, i wouldn't ever use emoticons if im trying to be taken seriously by anybody.
[–]sinatura[S] 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Lol this is the 2nd time someone mentioned my use of emoticons. I use it because that's how I talk to women. I forgot where I read this, but I think it was here. The survey or study in short said that men who used more emojis got more action. Now who knows how accurate this is or not, but I can say from experience that it has allowed me to engage in more playful/flirtatious conversations with women. There are probably men out there that don't use emojis for this, and that's great. But I find sometimes an emoji is worth a thousand words in the right context. So me using an "XD" in my post/comment is due to habbit from talking to other women.
[–]dodiat0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I've never heard of such a study. But if thats your thing, more power to you! maybe you can do your own experiment and test that hypothesis.
[–]Toolman8900 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
shit and eat wherever you want. but if you do get her number, please don't text her a XD face. don't use it on here again either. this place isn't like the rest of Reddit. -_-
