Many guys on ask TRP ask why they can’t get any play even though they busted their ass to max their SMV in all aspects; look good, dress well, body language, etc. The reason why is lack of status. “How does one build status?” One may ask. And a lot of people on TRP simply aren’t fit to answer such a question. Well let me tell you something I’ve been exposed to in real life experience that isn’t talked about on the red pill a lot.

The Game: this is the one thing many guys lack knowledge of it as it is very minimally covered within TRP and poorly conveyed in the pua community. We all know about social proof and perceived SMV, but how does one build status without having SMV to begin with? Why should he wait until he can bench 300lbs then go out and approach and form social circles? Understanding how to manipulate your environment to boost your SMV (instead of lowering it) is vital to The Game. You can have an SMV of 8 or 8.5 and not pull shit because your lack of game demotes you to a 7 (and that’s just being generous).

How does one manipulate their environment?

Not every guy who’s successful with women was born with their dick in some hot girl’s vagina. Many events successively led up to that point for them. Narcissism is seen as attractive not because it brings out the primal instincts of a woman, but because the narcissist is impeccable in imposing his frame of superiority on others. In the same way, you must manipulate your environment by imposing your frame unto others in which you possess all the qualities of the alpha.

However, you need to learn to be able to do this by using explicit social rules so as to not come off as socially autistic. One way I like going about this is leveraging a beta with a weak frame (who I know loves to spread rumours and talk about other people, someone who already sees you as superior) and gain their trust. Then I humblebrag to them about all the crazy shit I’ve done (true or not, who cares) and as long as your frame is stronger, they will believe it entirely. The magic comes in where they spread this information among everyone else within that social circle. People believe that because you and Percy the beta are closer than they are to you, that he has some sort of special insight into your life (when really you just fed Percy delusion), and they believe it. From then on, the hard part is over. Now you just have to fake it till you make it and when someone asks about whatever rumour, you deflect with sarcasm and not give a clear answer. If someone asks me: “do you pull girls?”, I’m not going to tell them yes or no, because those are both things that someone who doesn’t pull girls would say, instead I brush them off with a sarcastic or vague reply. If someone thinks you are a loser and you do this, it won’t really work. That’s why you need to unbitch yourself before even entering said social circle. Leaving people in the unknown opens a world of opportunities for their hamster to spin and create some exaggerated fantasy about you. This is why gaming betas to leverage social proof is crucial since they act a lot like girls.

Faking It Till You Make It

This is the game. The game is, at a high level of awareness, following explicit social rules while manipulating your environment through implicit social rules. If someone asks me how I get girls, I’m not gonna tell them I’m red pilled as that would completely break the implicit social fabric and make me look fucking autistic and potentially ruin my reputation. To navigate through today’s society, you need to be completely aware of the inner social workings at play while by any means never exposing them.

In one of my social circles, I run a completely different game than in another. Although my Base SMV is equal in all of my social circles, my social standing and power level vary immensely. In fact, in one of my social circles I pulled many girls and it’s known clearly throughout the whole circle that I can pull easily. However, I broke implicit social rules here and bragged about it etc. in order to lower my perceived SMV and come off as a douche and untrustworthy. In my social circle at school, I have had less success with girls (never really liked shitting where I eat), yet my perceived SMV is higher because I rumour has it I bagged every bitch in town. This goes to show that your perceived SMV is completely independent of your true SMV. Once you have been able to fake it, your perceived SMV will allow you to reap the plentiful rewards (That is, until you fuck up and blow your cover).

Conclusion

Keep imposing your frame of the person you want to be, and soon enough, your environment will conform to you and turn you into that person. Without being able to build decent social status within your circles, you won’t get any play despite your SMV.
