Happy New Years ya filthy animals.

I'm writing today because I simply could not keep this to myself and want to share with you a cringey example I experienced as well as a reminder of why we are here in the first place.

I went on a ski trip to the mountains for NYE with my LTR and three other couples, and I can say I have only ever met a handful of guys who were this BB cucked, but this was just something too good to pass up as writing material. Names are going to be anonymous for privacy purposes so let's call him "Hubert" and his LTR "boo-thang."

Hubert is a very nice guy. He is someone who is reliable and can be fun to talk to one on one, but he's definitely a guy that has no balls when it comes to his LTR.

I'm just gonna list shit that I observed with my own eyes and ears:

  1. He drove 30 minutes out of his way to get his boo-thang a coffee in the morning, only for her to yell at him for waking her up, lock the door to their room (essentially kicking him out of the master bedroom and into the living room where I was sleeping), and leave him stranded doing nothing. I felt kinda bad so I woke up my LTR to make breakfast with the other girl that was cooking, and I played some card games with him to pass the time. When boo-thang came to eat my LTR's freshly cooked, crispy bacon, she said "Oh you guys can have that coffee if you want, It's not the flavor I wanted."

  2. He helped boo-thang snow board for the first time (he was more experienced and could join the other guys, but chose not to shred mountains, whereas I was snowboarding for the first time ever), but I could audibly hear her yelling at him (not sure for what). He also bought her a $40 class that didn't help her much. We boarded for 8 hours and at least 7 of those he spent right next to her when he could have been off shredding some black diamonds. I left my LTR to figure out how to snow board for the first time alone (she actually had more experience, but wanted to chill at the bunny slopes to work on her carving). I figured it out and went down a 3 mile stretch of green with the rest of the guys by the end of the day. Success on my part, more enduring yelling on Hubert's.

  3. He paid on boo-thang's behalf for everything. Literally. (Cabin rental, lift tickets, classes, shooting range, gas, food, literally everything). She didn't have to open up her wallet, but she definitely opened her mouth to chastise him for every little thing. He ducked his head down every time and got quieter in response to her, failing those shit tests left and right. Captain Beta Bucks to the max. Pretty sure she didn't open up her legs for him the entire trip. Her bank account balance had a zero balance change while she earned a whole trip/ experience for herself by yelling at Hubert.

  4. Boo-thang started mentioning Chris Evans (Captain America was playing in the background) and how she'd "fuck him right on the floor if he asked me," right in front of Hubert. He quietly said something like "Oh yeah?" with some mumbling I couldn't quite hear and that was it. I had to diffuse awkward tension by shitting on her, saying "Well I'm pretty sure Chris Evans would realistically respond with 'I've got Victoria's Secret models waiting to fuck me behind my trailer, so no thanks.'" in a snarky tone to which she laughed and responded "Yeah you're right. I need to lose some weight to look sexy again," smiling and looking at me with her response.

  5. Heard a story that Hubert drove around his now boo-thang for everything for 6 years. He even drove his boo-thang and several of her exes on their dates and even had a story where one of those exes threw up in his car. He was a fucking free taxi for 6 years until she finally dated him (he liked her for those 6 years). Saddest fucking story I've heard in my life. I can only add up so many dollars and time that could have been invested in stocks/property, learning something new, etc. He literally orbited her and provided an expensive service for free 6 years. He could have made a lot of money being a Lyft or Uber driver instead lol.

  6. He had to hide smoking cigarettes outside near the fire I started (if I were him, I'd probably start smoking again too) until she found out, yelled at him for hiding it from her, then they started smoking together for the duration of the trip. She complained about how fat Hubert was when he was sitting on her near the fire pit and pushed him off. He walked over, got himself another chair, and cuddled up next to her.

  7. Little extra: She posted a Facebook status with a meme captioned "If you love her, you'd put $500 in her bank account" and he fucking paid her $500 dollars with Chase Quickpay. I followed that status to see what comments would come about and it was literally all girls tagging their boyfriends. AWALT spoke loudest to me seeing that, but surprisingly, mine didn't tag me/ even like the status so good on my LTR for not following the herd.

Some self love: During the trip, I took charge of setting up the fire pit, gathering kindling and dry wood to burn from the woods (after the rain and snow had fallen). Started the fire in less than 10 minutes, which had the girls and some of the guys (all grown up in the city) impressed. We went to a shooting range, where I taught one of the girls how to shoot, and Hubert who had been to basic training and a couple shooting ranges when he was in high school couldn't remember how to shoot a handgun the first time. They started joking about wanting me around for a zombie apocalypse, and my LTR visibly showed more signs of affection, hugging me, etc.

I'm probably missing a lot of things and these aren't in any particular order, but the interactions I saw between them was a reminder to me of how cringey it all was and just how desperation and a BP outlook can make you into a lesser man. When you're Beta Bux, women can smell it on you and though most of them don't even bother with a guy like Hubert, boo-thang decided he was worth squeezing some pennies in exchange for once a month starfish sex. I actually knew boo-thang before long before Hubert. She was alpha widowed by a fellow Seoul brother (one of the guys that rode in Hubert's free taxi service while banging boo-thang's brains out). She "recovered" from that after a year and a half and chose Hubert cause he wasn't a "jerk like the rest of the guys I've [sic] dated." She even left him at one point and the Facebook messages came pouring in from her telling me how much of a "bad guy" Hubert is and tried to make plans with me to meet up. One month of her being single and her shit talking about Hubert to me and she all of a sudden gets back with him and plans this winter cabin trip for NYE. Makes me think that once Valentine's Day is over, she's gonna kick him to the curb.

I really, really wanted to help a brother out, but a guy like Hubert is someone who would either refuse to believe, or knows enough in his BP state that if he challenged boo-thang in any way or acted contrary to his low head hanging, chastisement accepting, open wallet ways, she would take it as a threat more than a challenge and leave him. He isn't going to risk that. He's weak. He's tired. He knows he's not attractive enough to do whatever he wants and still get her affection, so he sits at the table for scraps. Meanwhile boo-thang gets chubbier due to her increased sense of security by keeping Hubert's self confidence low, she can bitch at him all she wants with no consequences, and she can even cuck him right in front of his own eyes cause she knows he's not gonna leave her.

He was the most extreme example of BP cucked I've seen in my life, but he reminded me of a shell of my former self in relationships. I brought in the New Year as a much better man than I was when my ex cheated on me and then later tried to make me sound like a domestic abuser. (PM me for that article if interested).

I have been baptized by TRP, and will never go back to a living as a cucked ignorant Beta Bux bitch. The sex is more frequent in this LTR due to passive/active dread constantly working through my natural behavior, people like Hubert's girlfriends get their BB's to pay for everything while giving me the "fuck me" eyes, and I've learned very quickly that self improvement and self love are the most important traits a man can have for himself. Thank you TRP. Despite some of the butthurt outspoken newbies and sly PUA's trying to adopt things into their short game, ya'll are a great community.

TL;DR: Your New Year's resolution should be to never be like Hubert. Ever.

Sidebar: AKA to be/come attractive, don't be unattractive. Always be ascending.

UPDATE: boo-thang messaged me on fb one day and confirmed she had broken up with Hubert almost within a month of this posting and proceeded to hit on me via msg. Called it.
