I know, I know, but this isn’t for you. This is for those who have internalized TRP to the fucking core already, and embodied its values and lifestyle, and yet spend an hour a day reading every relevant post, maybe benefiting from a couple a day.

It happened by coincidence, I began reading Models in my TRP reading time and it provided a fresh perspective of TRP values. Then a natural -pretty alpha- bro stayed over at my place for the past week or so. So naturally, since I avoid publicizing TRP, my lurking and even reading Models stopped, I started reading Women by Charles Bukowski instead (the book Californication is based on).

This turned out to be my perfect medicine, as I kept doing all the delayed-grat activities I’m getting myself used to (lifting, cold showers, sleeping on the floor, never fapping, eating healthy, daily joe rogan green juice, keeping studies/side projects a priority, avoiding being a recluse and approaching both men and women when I can). Yet, I was now doing all this for me, no other goal. I used to read on TRP how people would work hard on themselves for themselves, and it always baffled me how one can change their mindset this way. I was working on myself, but I wanted attention from the other sex, and that working on myself will get me attention from the other sex. Simple.

Avoiding any TRP reading had me forget focusing on the game overall, I wasn’t focusing on feminist ploys, cautionary life lessons, or mindset shifts, I was just doing me. Naturally, I noticed better results with girls after this mindset shift, most significantly of which getting approached twice (which never happened to me).

Bukowski’s book’s theme also helped, an old player who wonders why people think of sex as such a big deal. This casualness makes the idea of sex surreal, something that comes and goes and life goes on, as opposed to the major goal you’re working on yourself for.

My friend’s addition to my 2 female roommates setup was a lot of fun too. Instead of feeling relaxed among a couple of 7’s who already know my worth/respect my time, we were AMOG-ing each other jokingly all the time, pushing each other to our best. Secondly, whenever conversations would veer away toward girls and sex, we exchanged perspectives. He’s been in the LTR game for years (an enviable LTR) and mastered it, and thanks to TRP lurking, I’m fairly knowledgable about plating though I struggle with application from time to time.

This is not to say TRP’s main sub is not full of wisdom gems, or that I won’t read or contribute back to TRP when he leaves, or that I’ll stop reading Models and blogs. All I want to say here is that, if you relate to my first paragraph, I believe you’d benefit more from a break from it all.
