Thanks for this. Over the past two weeks I have only been thinking negatively about myself, why I'm not getting laid as much as I want to, why I'm not reading as much as I should, why I'm not hitting my lifts how I want to.

But fuck that, 2 months ago I was squatting 20 kgs and now I'm on 65. 2 months ago I hadn't had sex in a year and 3 months and since then I've laid two girls. And even if I'm not reading as much as I want to I'm analysing my interactions through a Red Pill lense and seeing things for what they are.

Thanks for cheering up my Sunday dude.

Nice post,

yep to most of these, the not missing shitty food thing has been big for me.. I used to binge on shitty food when stressed, now i deal with the shit/stress and not binge on the food, has done wonders for my body, which in turn boosted self esteem, which ended up with being treated differently by women (a side effect for sure).

i'm about a year in post TRP, still slide back to beta/blue sometimes, but remember to reinforce, learn why i slid back , fix it and move forward

The part about women being unable to make you happy is a major inflection point on the road to unplugging.

Projecting you insecurities and unhappiness onto a woman will rightly disgust her.

She wants a winner. She can't make you a winner. She doesn't even want to know how you became a winner, that ruins all the fun for her.

Look at me! I am sober. No more weed, no more lsd, no more molly, no more cocaine! Hooray!

This is true -- always critical to yourself is not going to do the trick. Look at you what you have achieved within a couple years/months while others were playing XBOX or worshiping their girlfriends with whom they have sex once every blue moon.

What you have described here is simply the process of accepting the reality of understanding that there are mechanics around you and that these are how people and society may be manipulated. The game, as always, is the battle for control over the rules. Running game is to apply social hacking techniques to get what you want.

Once you achieve this power, the important question is to ask you what you REALLY want. What would actually make you happy. Is it to live among a society of free people in fair competition, or do you adopt lies and bake them into your frame to justify domination?

Here's the realist's perspective: Ever since you could give repeating rifles to sheep, the game changed. Just ask the Nazis about living in a fantasy world.

wow everything applies to me, thanks for this

The problem with growing up with a perfectionist father is that never is good enough and I constantly bash myself whenever I have the chance

This will give me some breathing for the next couple of days ;)

DadOnDabs · 2016-11-20T18:24:18+00:00

This post is exactly what I needed to wake up to. Still not getting laid but I'm realizing the only reason I ever felt a pressure to and got torn up about it wasn't because I felt sad about it but what I thought others would say if they found out about my dry spell. I'm realizing my change of mind and body and I love it. I was a stoner and daily smoker but recently quit cold turkey. Pretty sure that was what was holding me back because I'm noticing changes a lot quicker now.

Look at you

Verbatim comment from a female friend who hadn't seen me for several months since I started lifting and eating right.

Great one!

It took me at least more than year to go back to gym, start making healthy smoothies for myself again and not eating that shitty quick fix product again. It seems I have just started and I don't seek any validation anymore. We men have to keep it in ourself and let our actions speak.

Katsuri · 2016-11-20T05:19:23+00:00

I like this. I have experienced...all of these, and while it's nice to know I am definitely farther along than I was. I still have a long way to go, but now I revel in that struggle and look forward to it every day. Thanks for the reminder bro, good luck on your journeys and growth.

TRP240mikex · 2016-11-20T03:28:50+00:00

I needed this, thanks bro /fistbump

Randomshortdude · 2016-11-20T02:44:34+00:00

Great post.

Pretty relevant to me in a lot of ways.

Salted_Pretzel · 2016-11-20T14:21:08+00:00

Will read this again and again when I'm hitting a slump. Thanks.

I have two brother who game PS4. And they were telling me about how much fun they had on Friday playing Battlefield 1. I was like, I should get a PS4 and play with them. Then I remembered I quit gaming in 2013. It was my first step to removing the time sucking elements in my life. 2 months ago I was less bulked than I am now. A man's path to excellence is treacherous and long. Imagine what you can accomplish in two years. Keep going, always.

anabolic92 · 2016-11-20T17:17:02+00:00

Yes and no.

I read TRP, I can relate and understand on some of the topics discussed in the first part of the sidebar.

I do a lot of the things recommended in here, gym, work, study, leaving me with 6h of sleep max every day, am I happier? Not really.

Not because TRP isn't usefull but because I still have a lot of work to do regarding the change of how I see the world/expectations from other people of me, trying to be liked by everyone, etc...:

Order the rational male and no more mr nice guy to start reading them asap.

indivisibleremainder · 2016-11-20T09:14:15+00:00

i look at myself in the mirror when i jack off

GeneRD · 2016-11-20T12:06:40+00:00

Less feel-good post please. Leave that to NoFap and seduction subreddit.

TheYoungPatriarch · 2016-11-20T06:37:22+00:00

... we have a standard format to prevent this kind of low effort post, this isnt #justTRPthings dude.

TeflonDon3000 · 2016-11-20T08:35:06+00:00

Reads like 15 year old self-masturbatory thought horseshit spewed in haphazard poetic form.

TheFirsh · 2016-11-20T12:19:25+00:00

Why does most workout advice assume I want to lose weight in the gym? I was very thin like 50kg and 175cm but now I'm more towards 70kg. For me progress is increasing weight with minimal fat.
