Simple tips from a simple man who went from perceived Beta to perceived Alpha

I like to add that leaving social media behind have been the most liberating thing I have ever done, also you automatically become the Mystery man...I see your point with regards to social media, but in my experience quitting it was a good thing.

6) Eradicated Depression/Anxiety Some of us have it, I think it's a bit of a myth

13) Don't beat off more than once a week Causes acne, stress

These are not facts. I will say that studies have shown exercise to be as effective as medicine when it comes to treating depression, but that's based on science. The masturbation thing you just made up. What I appreciate about TRP is that it bases it's hypotheses on evidence. People with PhDs (doesn't make them right, but probably makes them more right than you) study this stuff for decades. The rest of the post is solid advice, however.

**Edited once I saw #13.

This is basically a simplified list of everything that has been preached here for years, so nothing new. Two things hit me though.

You say don't be a meathead just go for "six-pack abs" like it's no big deal and don't worry about counting calories.

Maybe you have six-pack abs and don't count calories. If so, you have good genetics. For most men it's harder to get a six pack than getting jacked and in order to get a six pack you have to count calories and be more disciplined about your diet than a jacked guy does.

Studies show that getting "jacked" does not equal getting laid. Just as being overweight can be a turnoff to women, so can have too much muscle. That's why most of the advice in this sub is about getting STRONGER not getting BIGGER.

"Some dudes here insist on getting big, lifting heavy to bulk up- that seems like a waste of time. Whenever I see a guy posting gym selfies on social media, I just imagine him spending hours on forums calculating calories and watching arnold videos or whatever. Sure it's respectable to have a monstrously huge body but you should be putting that time into meeting new people, learning hobbies/skills or making money. You could be brilliant but still come off as a meathead in a sweatshirt to most chicks."

"Nothing wrong with getting jacked, but you shouldn't spend more than an hour a day working out IMO. Get to a comfortable size, and then focus on definition- the six pack and perky chest is all you really need. I also notice a tendency of bodybuilder dudes to post literally nothing but muscle pics and food... it gets boring after a while I imagine!"

"The key here is getting stronger mentally. Forcing yourself to push through pain and release those nice endorphins that give you the confidence you can get shit done, however hard it is or tired you are. The body runs smoother too and all women like a fit guy"

Whenever I see a guy posting gym selfies on social media, I just imagine him spending hours on forums calculating calories and watching arnold videos or whatever.

No sane person who works out does this. If seeing other men post on social media bothers you so much, stop going on social media.

you should be putting that time into meeting new people, learning hobbies/skills or making money.

A) it's ironic you are telling other people what to do with their time yet you just complained about seeing other men post on social media. This means you're spending too much time on social media.

B) it is constantly reaffirmed here that men should meet people, find hobbies, and make money. You also seem to leave out that many can consider working out a hobby, especially since you grow to enjoy it over time.

You could be brilliant but still come off as a meathead in a sweatshirt to most chicks.

It doesn't matter. Prove them wrong. Also: alpha fucks, beta bucks. Women are attracted to meatheads. It is the result of tens of thousands of years of evolution. If your objective is to fuck, being in top shape and looking good is almost all you need. You can also be educated and in excellent shape, no one is denying that. Also: she does not want to fuck Linguini Leg Larry, she wants to be ravaged by Chad.

the six pack and perky chest is all you really need.

So I should have a six pack and tits that stick out. I should also have spaghetti in place of legs and arms. Duly noted.

I also notice a tendency of bodybuilder dudes to post literally nothing but muscle pics and food

Get off social media. It's a waste of time, and to quote you:

"you should be putting that time into meeting new people, learning hobbies/skills or making money."

The key here is getting stronger mentally.

Working out also takes care of this. Pushing yourself and having determination and also discipline will increase mental fortitude.

I understand the "fuck video games" mentality of this post and many others, but I would argue that some video games can be a very good mental stimulus.

For example, I'm currently playing through The Talos Principle. It is a puzzle game similar to Portal but with fairly harder puzzles. However, it is the story of the game that is very thought provoking. Without giving too much away, you gather the story by reading archives on computers you find around the world. These documents focus heavily on materialist philosophy, as well as similar schools of thought. Then you discover an AI on the computers that claims to be a simple program to help you navigate the files. Yet, as you keep conversing with the AI, it starts to sound more and more like a conscious being. The AI then continues to question you on things such as morality, materialism, consciousness, god, etc.

The game is essentially an entire philosophy class, while also challenging your problem solving skills with crazy ass puzzles. It has been the catalyst for many philosophical debates with my friends and expands my mind as much as a good book. Of course, this is not a trend with most video games and takes some digging around to find the good ones like The Talos Principle.

Some very good points OP. I think most of us in this sub know we need to do these things, at least subconsciously, however it is always putting it into practice that is the most difficult thing.

I disappeared from social media 3 months ago, No facebook, no Whatsapp, no dating websites, I also sold my smartphone, and downgraded to an old blackberry, I saw only pros :

More time to do other activities ( fishing, learning spanish, gym, karate)
Some girls reaching me by calls or SMS
Approaching girls in public

If I have an advice for you guys, it's to disappear from the virtual world for a while.

Rule number 13 is blatantly wrong though.

It has been proven again and again that it's the greatest stress reliever.

Lifting to get big and counting calories is not wasting time. Nobody can see those abs under a shirt.

Masturbation is not proven to cause acne. Excessively it is probably bad, everything in moderation.

I use You Tube to learn shit yo. Lots of quality self-improvement shit.

bpg609 · 2017-01-28T05:03:48+00:00

Strong social media

Lol, joke post.

Don't beat off more than once a week

Disagree. Beating off reduces dependency on women and allows you to adopt a true IDAF attitude. Google "Bill Burr Infinite Sandwich". Re: acne, that's a myth--no acne here. Re: stress, it RELIEVES stress.
