Spear, Shield and The Helmet

Note: This post has been revised to fit TRP format and reposted. I've been following TRP for more than two years now and this is my first post, so critics are welcome.

Summary:

I prepared an over simplfied definition of the game in my head, using the ancient spartan combat analogy and wrote it down. TRP principles are very simple and clear, however they are only internalized by experience. This post argues the “looks and career are the priority” mindset which annoys me everytime, because it misleads the newborns and I point out that those are nothing without the game when it comes to have sex.

Spear, shield and the helmet symbolizes to excite, keeping your frame and hiding your true self from your plates respectively.

Body:

The glorious Spartans! One of the most disciplined, most dangerous and most fearless, civilized warrior-nation in history. Despite their well built military structure and constitution, the simplicity of their warfare is unbelievable! A typical Spartan soldier possessed only these three war gears; Spear, Shield and a helmet (I know they had more gears but these are their primary gear). It’s simple, use the spear to attack, use the shield to block and have your helmet on.

It kinda reminds me how TRP principles are very clear and simple, and quite effective. However, It can look a bit complicated for the newborn red pillers. Let me categorize TRP principles under the Spartan warfare triad. This simplified perspective of the main principles is gonna help you to picture the whole thing easier, and trigger you to take action.

Spear

Think, approaching an attractive girl, as picking a fight with an intimidating enemy. Each element, that you use for the purpose of igniting the girl’s libido, makes up your spear. If it’s a cold approach, you have to spurt your spear first. This could be a simple “Hi” with a confident smile, or you can open up a conversation with a question depending on the circumstances. Starting from that moment, you need to reduce your words and make her talk more. That’s how you dominate the fight.

The person who talks too much is the submissive one. It unveils your interest in her. On the other hand, staying silent for too long gives away that you don’t know how to use the spear. You have to lead the conversation, pick up the interesting spots(!) in her story, and make up new things to talk about. Occasionally make her doubt herself and get her head down from the clouds. These, however, are not spear moves. These are simply pushing your opponent to better grounds to fight on. Look for open spots on her defense.

Sometimes she’ll purposefully lower her shield and see if you dare to hurl the spear. If you don’t, she’ll see that. One of the girls that I’ve approached told me she had some sort of psychic sense, and she could tell anyone’s personality and feelings just by touching their face. I said “wow, really? That’s cool”. Then she kept silent. When I was re-evaluating that conversation in my mind, driving back home, with an empty passenger seat I realized. She was expecting me to ask her what she could tell about ME by touching my face or something like that. I couldn’t believe how I missed it.

Don’t study typical flirting sentences. Watch your opponent carefully, examine her behavior. As I said before in a comment, they focus more on your attitude more than the context of what you’re saying. Just don't doubt yourself and talk like you know what you are saying. Try to figure out what will make her panties wet. Target her fantasies. Don’t use sexual words unless you’re already fucking her. Those are not spear moves, that kind of language only lowers your shield, makes you look needy. The moment you use a sexual word, is the moment that you fucked up. The way how a girl fantasizes about you is; you using her for your own amusement, or convenience. It’s a foreshadow of how you use women when having sex.

An oversimplified example; when all the tables are partly occupied in Starbucks, spot the hottest girl in the place and sit next to her in a non-apologizing-indifferent manner. If she looks at you, say “Hi” or skip that and say “How was your day” while putting your stuff on the table. Worst case, she’ll leave the table and it’s all yours. I’d brace for a lot of shit tests tho i.e. “at least put your back pack on the floor”. Whatever the way you respond her, don’t put it on the floor. Don’t let her think she has any kind of authority over you. You’re the adult and she is the child. Thus you know better. I know this example may look very raw to some of you guys. I don't claim to be at the NY Times Best Fuckers list. Just a perspective for the followers who have little to no experience with women.

Shield

This symbolizes the elements, that you use to defend your frame. Confidence, stoicism, indifference and outcome independence are well-known shield material.

The fierce Persians, known as “women” will continuously attack you with their shit tests. They’ll target your frame. Sometimes with attitudes, or maybe with a question that she doesn’t want to hear the real answer to… Or with an ex, or even by flirting with another guy. They are trying to see what you’re made of and you’ll stop that with your shield each time.

You have to detect where the attack is coming from and hold your up shield to that direction. If you think too much and keep behind, she’ll open a hole in your frame. A strong push with a shield can knock her flat as well. Sometimes they’ll manipulate you towards a fake target. You’ll block that with your shield too (keep stoic and rational). If you use your spear instead of holding your shield up in this case, she’ll cut your frame open and see the actual shit that you carry in your guts.

Shield movements mostly don’t ignite her arousal, they only help to hold your frame. Your spear is supposed to do that. You have to use both accordingly and in harmony.

The Helmet

The helmet is your anonymity. Keep it on at all times! Don’t let her see your face.

No girl wants to know your “deep, private” secrets. All they want to see is your Spartan war helmet. That’s what they’re fantasizing about. You’re not a potter, sculpture, or a blacksmith… You are a Spartan and your profession is HA-OOH, HA-OOH, HA-OOH!

The moment you take out your helmet; BAM! you’ll take a headshot. I’ve seen some guys exaggerating themselves. Don’t tell her what you do for a living and explain how important that is. That’s the equivalent of removing your helmet and trying to make an intimidating face. It’s ineffective. Even worse than that; If you’re making some good Money, she’ll enslave you, if not, she’ll cut you off at that moment. Because you’re no Spartan.

Also, If your enemy removes her own helmet, don’t return the favor. Do the right thing and stick your spear into her head. One of the chicks told me she was a nurse. I asked her if it’s actually possible to sense heart pulse from the wrists like in the movies. She said yes. I said “no it’s not…” smiling “I don’t believe you, Show me how it’s done”. She held my hand and showed me how to sense the pulse. Then I said “wow, let me try” and grabbed her wrist, didn’t even do it right, anyway I said “oh, your pulse is strong. Someone’s nervous…” with a dirty smile. See? Multiple spear moves in a row (always let her touch you first, it’s not just safer, but also makes her look like the needy one).

Combat

These fierce Persians are coming to take your lands, your gold and enslave you for a lifetime. You have four options;

  • Hide in a cave all your life like an incel
  • Bend the knee to become a proud slave
  • Immigrate to safe lands and live “free”
  • Or devastate your enemies like Spartans and enslave them for your own convenience.

The last one sounds good, right? Well, you gotta master these three tools. The tools themselves are simple, but how to use them is not.

Unfortunately, the only way to master them is to practice them. Not going to the gym and building body, or fucking around TRP all day, or renewing your wardrobe. You’ll lose the combat if you don’t develop the skills, even if you have King Leonidas’s body. Simple as that. Having a fit body will give you the upper hand in the combat (looks and SMV). This could intimidate your enemy as well. If you have a lot of gold, you can buy a better shield and spear (confidence, better social environment). But, careful… This could attract the worst enemies as well. However, if you don’t know how to fight, put a zero in front of these and multiply. That’s what you get.

As long as you’re sparring, you’ll get better, and don’t fear death, unless you get carried away by oneitis. Pre-selection will be your kill count and intimidate your enemies to yield. Don’t get me wrong, you still need to work on your looks. If you want to fight like a Spartan, you need to look like a Spartan. But this post is not about that. This post is for the guys who think they’ll build a perfect body and “live sex toys” will rain on them. No, you’ll get the living beings, and turn them into sex toys. Otherwise, you’ll turn up being a blue pilled providing slave, no matter how you look or what you have.

Lessons Learned:

  • No lessons are learned. You’ll go out and learn them from your interactions with women.
