It's not just about getting women.

I think its great tool for also "not getting women" in the sense you should be very wary of 30+ walllers who are trying to settle for you.

ThePedanticF0x · 2015-07-05T16:03:57+00:00

It starts out as "getting women" but at the end of the de-pedestalization process comes a transitional realization that it is about so much more.

TRP is about maximizing your value as a man in every aspect of your life, a high value male is coveted in all social interactions and dynamics. This includes professional life, sex and love, family, social, metaphysical, spiritual and anything else that comes to mind.

When you reach this point in the internalization process, maximizing your value is takes priority, women are the last thing on your mind. The more your value increases, the more women chase you, and the more they chase you the less you need them.

Am I proud of the person I am? This is the most important aspect of TRP for me.

This very much. I will be satisfied with my life when I am proud of myself and my achievements, not what others think of me.

Also, to me, TRP is about the relativation the importance of (getting) women. What I learned from TRP is that it is not the main goal in life and a man that gets a lot of women is not necessarily a "man". Instead, life should be about making YOUR own choices, achieving YOUR goals and making YOUR dreams come true. Getting women is just a positive side-effect out of that.

I enjoyed Clausewitz's "On War"

Improv Wisdom by Patricia Madson (available on libgen). I haven't seen this recommended here before but I happened across it yesterday and finished it today.

Obviously not a courtship book, but if you are steeped enough in redpill already, you'll find there's a lot of valuable material intermixed with the bluepill. Takes ~4 hours to read and very good at giving practicable advice.

Some quotes:

“We often substitute planning, ruminating, or list-making for actually doing something about our dreams.”

“practice your art every day, lower your standards, and claim a time or place or an attitude that will challenge your bourgeois idea of reality. Giving up on perfection is the first step"

Maxim 7: Face the Facts. “The Japanese have a word for this rule: arugamama. It is the virtue of abiding with things as they are. It implies a realistic and responsive approach to life. It is essential in good improv and provides sensible advice for ordinary life.”

“Dealing well with people we like is easy; the mark of a fine improviser is his ability to work skillfully, kindly, and respectfully with those with whom he has difficulty.”

Maxim 8: Stay on course. “an improvisation always has a point. It is never simply “whatever.” “Instead of asking, “What do I feel like doing?” substitute “What is my purpose now”

“We need to let go of outcomes. When you make a mistake, turn your attention to what comes next. Focus on doing that well, with full mind and heart. Look ahead, not back.”

I suggest The Meditations By Marcus Aurelius - http://classics.mit.edu/Antoninus/meditations.html

Also the tao the Ching by Lao tzu - http://www.with.org/tao_te_ching_en.pdf (There's many translations of this text so I'd look into other if you can)

Read an analytic news magazine. Perhaps the Economist, or something from the opposite side of the political spectrum (I dunno, perhaps the Atlantic?)

I find being able to intelligently discuss politics, economics and current events a good way to raise your value to others.

Kid_Crimson · 2015-07-05T20:27:30+00:00

To that end I have started reading classics of literature and strategy.

Op knows what's up!

My interests tend to fall on the behavioral psychology side of things, but here's a few suggestions from my library:

Games People Play: The Basic Handbook of Transactional Analysis by Eric Berne
The Rational Male by Rollo Tomassi
The Rational Male - Preventive Medicine (Volume 2) by Rollo Tomassi
Power vs. Force by David R. Hawkins M.D. Ph.D.
Influence: Science and Practice by Robert B. Cialdini
The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil by Philip Zimbardo
The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles by Steven Pressfield
What Do Women Want?: Adventures in the Science of Female Desire by Daniel Bergner

In my opinion, it's not just not all about women. In my opinion, it's not really about women at all.

The Red Pill (to me) is about self-improvement and being the best self you can be. Women are just an added bonus.

But what would I know?

Chicago-JSO · 2015-07-05T13:39:58+00:00

There's a book that was suggested back on the mASF forums, years ago. (Don't know if anyone here knows or remembers what that was). It's called the Feeling Good, The New Mood Therapy. Now at the time I was definitely dealing with some mild depression, which it helped me out of. But in retrospect I think it's still a good read for almost anyone, even people who are pretty self secure. I would strongly recommend you find an older edition. One from a while ago. The newer editions have been significantly toned down. But if you find an old edition, one from the 70's or 80's the first few pages alone are, kind of a sledge hammer to blue pill beliefs. (I've found a few at good will, salvation army for about $0.50 that's how I've seen the difference in editions, so it's not very expensive)

evileddy · 2015-07-06T00:43:36+00:00

The goal of improving yourself has the side effect of attracting more women... of course once your eyes are opened many of these women are no longer attractive to you.

I will no longer date:

-a smoker
-a single mom
-a party girl
-a chubby
-an uneducated woman ( only highschool )
-a crass loud mouth
-a feminist
-a woman who can't cook
-a woman with a high partner count
-a woman that never works out

So.. each one of those cuts a huge chunk out of my viable dating pool.. these are not red flags or warnings to me.. each one is a deal breaker on it's own and many women out there have most of these deal breakers.

If you want to learn about business strategy-- I think Good Strategy / Bad Strategy is a decent place to start.

Jump into some Michael Porter after that and get the basis of how a 5 forces analysis works.

Do something 1v1 competitively. Doesn't matter what. Games, martial arts, etc. Apply all that shit you're learning. Become the best in the world.

louiev · 2015-07-06T01:51:48+00:00

Here are the books that allowed me to "understand" life in my 20's...Fight Club, The three pillars of zen, zen and the martial arts, the book of five rings, hagakure, and the prince.

NeoreactionSafe · 2015-07-05T14:41:28+00:00

Red Pill is designed to open your eyes at the most primal animalistic level and get you to see the true nature of man and woman. (we expose women for hypergamy and men for betaness)

Beyond Red Pill some will get to Neoreaction and Dark Enlightenment.

However, many will not broaden themselves with the "big picture" and will simply narrow themselves into an atomistic attitude of "Enjoy the Decline".

Red Pill becomes the base of two opposing viewpoints.

Neomasculinity (the Roosh spinoff) takes the Red Pill in the direction of Neoreaction (fertility positive), while Red Pill hosts a mix of the two sides.

ru-Alex · 2015-07-06T20:04:33+00:00

I would check: Oleg Novoselov - Women: A Textbook for Men.

You can get it on amazon. Very red pill, very insightful, yet the book is not very common in english speaking red pill community.
