Great advice. But Well when it's -20 here in Canada during January, Fucking right I'm putting my hands in my pockets.

LPT: If you're in a shady district, skip the eye contact part. For some reason criminals/other low life people love attacking people who are just looking at them.

Improving posture will also make you FEEL more confident naturally. It is like how smiling, even when you're upset, can cheer you up. Your body sends signals back to your brain the same way your brain does to it, and your brain will take that feedback to think appropriately.

Funny story on this: I work with a bunch of engineers and super quiet/introverted people. I was talking one on one with our VP who was visiting the office when he says "wow, these guys must be really proud of their shoes." I looked at him inquisitively and he just put his head down and took a couple steps. Now we occasionally compliment footwear as a joke.

This story also points out that EVERYONE notices weak and submissive body language, not just women. If you want to be respected at work or other areas of life, learn to communicate to the world that you are a man worth respecting.

This helped my posture problems.

The easiest way to improve your posture is by doing specific exercise tgat target your muscular imbalances

SeekingTheWay · 2014-11-21T09:52:47+00:00

Try locking your hands behind your back like Morpheus from Matrix does when he walks, i.e. not stretched and locked behind your ass but higher, fingers-to-elbows interlock.

Learn how your back feels with that and then put the hands back to the sides. This is the posture you want to have.

DoesNotMatterAnymore · 2014-11-21T07:32:02+00:00

If you can see your feet/legs while you walk, you are doing something wrong.

p.s.: obviously don't fall on your face

If anyone has rounded shoulders and stretches don't seem to help, look for external rotation exercises. I've stretched a lot and I saw zero results with the position of my shoulders until I tried external rotation moves. I have strong shoulders and core but it made me work muscles that I've never worked before. I could barely do 10 reps with a light dumbbell because these muscles were so weak.

the first exercise in this video (skip to 3:00) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vluvNCX28U4 is where I feel the most discomfort even with a light dumbbell. Try it out, if you feel any difficulty doing it then this exercise is for you.

KarmaEnthusiast · 2014-11-21T15:16:28+00:00

The only wrong part is the 'chin up' part. Your head needs to be up, not your chin. Imagine a piece of string pulling you upwards just slightly anterior (front direction) to the crown in your hair. The chin should be retracted towards your throat.

As someone who displays good posture for the purpose of exercise, sports, work and just generally not wanting a massive slouch in my 60s, you're going to feel WEIRD doing this. Almost as if everyone's looking at how hard you're trying to keep your posture perfect.

They aren't looking at you for that. They're looking at you because you're taking a natural alpha's pose. Or maybe you're fucking it up, I'd suggest seeing a physio about posture myself.

40_SixandTwo · 2014-11-21T15:34:03+00:00

Fixing my posture is probably one of the best things I've done since TRP. I've been lifting more, and when I first discovered the pill about a year ago, I was mad scrawny, and I still am pretty skinny, though I've put some muscle on. For you skinny guys out there, improving your posture works magic, it can improve how you look drastically even if you're not jacked just yet.

It's going to feel very weird at first, but just make minor adjustments to your posture every day. Once you've got it down pat, it will feel weird to slouch or put your hands in your pockets.

skyclown · 2014-11-21T17:29:31+00:00

Check out the Alexander Technique lads.

vengefully_yours · 2014-11-21T18:32:50+00:00

My daughters both comment on what it's like to walk around a store with me vs their mother and step father. Everyone moves out of my way because I'm walking like I own the fucking place, everybody in there is beneath me, and I'm making eye contact with everyone facing me. Head up and observe, people notice and move, girls notice and try hard to get your attention. With their mom everyone expects them to move, and she does, so does her loser.

dickinlips · 2014-11-21T14:13:29+00:00

Remember guys: Maintain eye contact and assert your dominance..

ContinentalRP · 2014-11-21T10:49:16+00:00

There's a very, very overlooked specific part of posture. Tongue posture. Yes, you read that right tongue posture. We're not talking about eating the box, I'm talking about how your tongue is positioned in your mouth.

Your tongue should be against the roof of your mouth, with your teeth touching or slightly apart

The younger you are, the more this is going to help. Improper tongue posture results in a long face, usually a sloping forehead and a nose that looks bigger than it should have been. Proper tongue posture makes your face develop the 'right' way. See the links for what you can do, and for photographs of the difference proper tongue posture makes.

You shouldn't be smiling for most of the time. A knowing smirk is ok, especially if she can see it - it lets her know you know she was checking you out.

The other important one is don't change course to get out of the way. People will get out of your way. You are walking there, and you are the most important person in the world (for the purposes of posture).

foldpak111 · 2014-11-21T06:23:41+00:00

We need more of these posts. People can really be depressing sometimes.

anonlymouse · 2014-11-21T15:34:53+00:00

Something that makes that easier is a standing desk. That way, your default whenever you're at your computer is good posture. The Ninja Standing Desk is the cheapest one I've found, and it's handy for slanting the keyboard down for better ergonomics (unfortunately, all keyboards come with feet to raise the back part instead of the wrist rest, so it's quite a pain to try get it angled right otherwise). I just use a folded yoga mat instead of an anti-fatigue mat.

konoplya · 2014-11-21T16:25:23+00:00

for those interested, look up The Alexander technique. actors use it religiously. it helped me a lot in my younger days

redpillthrower · 2014-11-21T19:17:54+00:00

If you focus first on the physical, the rest will often follow. If you put yourself in a position that is inherently confident, you cannot help but feel more confident. The more confident you feel, the more you will walk with it for all to see. Remeber the greatest indicator is success, take every small win you can, and they won't be small for very long

cikatomo · 2014-11-21T13:51:31+00:00

I walk like that and can see people are afraid. I am 6'4". How can I turn this to my advantage?

gdog799 · 2014-11-21T18:19:02+00:00

what are you supposed to do with your hands then?

deaduponaviral · 2014-11-21T23:22:44+00:00

TAKE UP SPACE AND NEVER LOOK DOWN OR BACK

MoneyStatusLooks · 2014-11-22T11:31:31+00:00

Sure, I agree. But it will only have a meaningful effect long term if you have 'your house in order'.

If you are a piece of shit, with no hope, no self esteem and nothing going for you. No amount of faking frame/body language will help. You will be found out for the inauthentic, pussy piece of shit you are.

viavitae · 2014-11-21T06:30:11+00:00

Doing 5 mile walks regularly for a time while focusing on posture really helped me. Good time to listen to audiobooks related to TRP. If you are already working out, it won't really impact your workouts. If you aren't working out, congratulations, now you are. Bring a backpack and you can fold in a grocery run to buy oats and potatoes, if you are short on spare time.

NeopolitanAfterglow · 2014-11-21T14:48:00+00:00

I love these concise, easy to grasp nuggets of wisdom. This post is like a juicy bone, and I'm a dog that wants to sit down and gnaw on it all day long.

Tidec · 2014-11-21T15:04:28+00:00

Walk around like you are the shit. Are your hands in your pockets? Pull them out. Are your shoulders slouched forward? Pull them back.

simpler to remember: "walk around like you're wearing an imaginary cape"

TekkomanKingz · 2014-11-21T18:21:51+00:00

Guys don't take this too far. There is a difference between being confident and being arrogant. It's a thin line and over-compensating doesn't really drive the right message. No staring contests with Women, particularly in NYC. It can get the cops called on you and I don't think that is the intended result.

Build strength from within and focus on that by taking a Martial Art, etc. and your posture and body language will naturally improve. I've had great posture etc. since young and it's really all due to Martial Arts. Nothing else.

ilk425 · 2014-11-22T00:40:29+00:00

This is one of the easiest things a newbie RP'er can start doing and its effects were almost immediately noticeable for myself. I would always walk with with a slouch and my head down, really only good for finding loose change on the ground. Now, walking through city streets with a strong gait, head held high and a cheeky grin gets me interested stares from all parties. "Where is he going? Is he important? He must be, look at his stance, he's on a mission to somewhere important."

If you're in a seated job all day such as an office worker, implement sitting with excellent posture as well. This gives two benefits:

Back pains, especially lower, as well as neck and shoulder pains will decrease, if not entirely vanish.
If you're approached by a colleague, slightly leaning back in an office chair with proper posture and a relaxed nature immediately puts you in the driver's seat. This is because you're opening up more of your body, making you seem larger and more dominant than if you were hunched over when listening to them. Dominant men will also combine this with keeping their knees well apart, effectively leading with their crotch whilst sitting down.

Dicks out and chins up lads.

RawrMeReptar · 2014-11-21T16:42:46+00:00

Except don't actually lead with your dick because that's bad swayback posture.

Darkone06 · 2014-11-21T18:16:12+00:00

If holding an upright posture hurts you or tires you out I would encorage you to try some foam rolling with your excercise and lifts.

I like a lot of Trigger Point's products. http://www.tptherapy.com/

It takes practice to improve your posture but you will be greatly rewarded for it. Not just by others but by the own realignment of your body to a more natural stance.

It will be easier to move and look confident in front of a room if your muscles are more loose than tense.

FateBender · 2014-11-22T11:58:10+00:00

Fuck... gynecomastia which I got in my early teens when I was obese in a very bizarre way stays with me to this very moment. I lost shit ton of weight, put on muscle instead of fat. I'm 6.3 ft tall, with huge arms and broad shoulders, yet my gyno is still there. It's not really bad, but nipples are fucking up my physique. I subconsciously fucked up my posture over the years to hide it, and now I keep forgetting to straighten my back up.

RampantD · 2014-11-24T05:04:59+00:00

"she feels uncomfortable? who gives a shit" I will never forget this. this was the only problem i had with eye contact. but guess what. i am the FUCKING MAN. better be grateful i even looked at her.

Seuguh · 2014-11-21T15:20:58+00:00

A couple of years ago when i was in hughschool, I used to walk around with my head down. Until one day, i asked myself what the fuck was so interesting about the pavement? I never looked down since.

Just_Some_Summoner · 2014-11-21T16:49:40+00:00

Bad posture isn't good for your health, yup, I agree. However, assuming that a man with is "face in the ground all the time" is a "pussy" can also be very bad for your health. Remember, you're faking your confidence, but some people like myself simply don't give a fuck what you think. Looking at the ground, hands in my pockets, and thinking about shit doesn't mean anything. You can keep your chin up all you want, but that doesn't mean you're a bad ass. You might want to remember that next time you arrogantly walk past someone. Assuming anyone is a pussy is a great way to get knocked out.

c0ldsh0w3r · 2014-11-21T17:26:05+00:00

ITT a bunch of beta fags walking around like they have a broom handle shoved up their ass, intently staring down any female within eye range.

primordialbeast85 · 2014-11-21T14:03:12+00:00

I agree with most of this but what happens when all of this alpha posturing alerts a rel alpha who decides he wants to show you you ain't shit. What's the plan then boys?
