It's like pornography, you'll know it when you see it

Life has changed for me since TRP and how virtually everything is seen through RP lens.

This shouldn't surprise you, script writers are basically inherent psychologists, just look at women crying over a movie even when they know it's fake, these script writers and actors really know how to replicate real life emotions, feelings, human behavior so well in a movie, subconsciously you will probably have always known these things, you just couldn't name them, the fact you can identify these situations is great because that does give you an edge in life

I applaud you for going through those two shitty movies till the end. I couldnt go through more than half an hour of the wedding ringer, but i did watch the otherone and it has a pretty lame happy ending in which Jacob develops onitis over a girl with no tits and no ass and stops being a player.

Welk you forgot to mention that when cal is gaming the teacher he gives his responses in a very nervous rehearsed way. He is not listening or waiting for a pause. He is blurting out his lines that he believes he has to say. Its plastic, he does not do it confidently and looks like he is trying too hard. There is no context to what he says and he doesnt recalibrate based on her responses There is no frame to begin with and thats why the teacher walks away. This the only time recalibrates (out of desperation and fear) and ends up telling her the truth. But it works for him ciz its a movie.

I liked this movie mostly except for the speach part in the end. Jacob never drops frame even if he falls in love. I see him as one of the older trp members who after years of screwing around want a relationship and want to settle down. Thats not the same as being beta or getting oneitis. There was nothing in the movie to suggest that he treats her like a princess or the relationship is one sided and that he has dropped frame n become beta bucks. There is nothing to suggest that she has more power in the relationship or that he wouldnt walk away if she turned into a bitch

In The Wedding Ringer, the best man asks the groom: why do you want to marry her?

That thought helps me with my oneitis/ex!

I wanted to make a similar thread about another such movie, which I used to really like at one moment of time btw, but now hate due to its absurdity. Thanks to the RP lens, I can now call out the bullshit. This movie was playing at the gym and I glanced at it between sets. I had seen it a couple of times before, but this time I understood it through RP lens.

Pretty Women Almost everyone by now has seen this movie by now with Richard Gere and Julia Roberts in it. Richard Gere is a goodlooking multi-million dollar businessman who drives poorly, gets lost and ends up in a red-light district. Julia roberts is a cheap hooker, who drives him to his hotel and agrees to sleep with him for the night for $300.

As expected, he starts liking her, lets her stay in his costly hotel, buys her costly designer clothes, gives her a makeover, takes her to dinners, changes/loses focus over his business plan, takes her to operas, polo match, meets with fellow wealthy people etc and voila falls in love with her and so does she.

However, this is where shit goes crazy. She decides she doesnt want to continue being his whore/stay with him anymore and wishes to continue her education. And the movie ends with Gere missing his flight to woo Julia roberts with a bouquet of roses clutched between his teeth as he climbs a fire escape despite having fear of heights. And ta da! there you have a true love's kiss. The end.

I felt so angry when I realized I used to like something like this at one point of time and what bullshit notion of love the media around you feeds you. I wish I could go back in time and punch myself in face.

Thanks to The Silver Linings Playbook, I crossed off getting my dick sucked in a movie theatre.

Sappy romantic comedy, but it did the trick.

This moment has happened to me a number of times, but most notably was when I was waiting near the dressing rooms for a friend to try on some clothes. During that time I was unable to hear anything but the ludicrousness of the song playing overhead. Half nonplussed and half-intrigued, I pulled out my phone just to Shazam the song so I could make sure I heard all of the lyrics right.

The song, for anyone curious, is entitled 'Could Be Me' by MKTO. This was the first time I genuinely thought to myself how prevalent 'beta thinking' is and how many men deprive themselves of personal growth, strength, and happiness (and feeling both confident and secure in doing so) just for the chance of impressing a girl.

The saddest part for me is knowing that men will cater to what society falsely sells just to, for the entirety of their lives, feel like a failure as a man not because they actually were, but because society both encourages, and almost makes it imperative, to be anything but. This, however, isn't a wall that can't be overcome, it's just another reason to feel more accomplished when you become an autonomous, self-sufficient, happy, successful person - whatever that means to you.

It's shameful that being the best possible version of yourself is socially unwelcome because it makes you better than others in various disciplines, but putting in blood, sweat, and tears isn't an unfair advantage and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Watch Liar Liar sometime.

Hidden behind the socially acceptable reform/redemption tripe, is the nasty lesson that you can be a great guy, but if you are boring, you will get tossed aside the moment someone more exciting becomes available.

Have to admit, I really liked Crazy, Stupid Love, partly because Emma Stone, partly because the sheer good red pill advice being put to almost-realistic effect. Obviously there's a comedy component, obviously there's Hollywood in general which means the thing needs to be rushed along to fit movie-time format, but generally good.

Barney on How I Met Your Mother is the best example most people can think of. His thing is to become as awesome as possible. He has a frame for every situation because he put himself out there and tests out what works and what doesn't and this builds his character. I love it and enjoy seeing him do his work.

From the rules:

"Red pill theory" posts may contain material from fiction if it is then developed beyond that example into a useful discussion of a principle, but fictional references by themselves will be removed when spotted. Fiction is not evidence. Anyone can write anything.

This post is just "this piece of fiction is TRP", and adds no other value nor evidence nor development nor underlying principles.

did you get your post's title from Marvel's Daredevil episode 3? lmao

I see red pill and blue pill behavior in everything now- whether im watching a movie or tv show, or observing a social interaction in public. This subreddit provides a great framework to view the world in- socially everything makes so much more sense once you internalize the key concepts.

Check out "Togetherness" if you want to see a truly blue pill example manifested in a relationship.
