The next version of yourself

RoyalGut · 2014-05-29T15:02:19+00:00

I've been reading this site for the last week straight. I found it after I clicked a link in the comment section of an insignificant, mind numbing and time wasting reddit page, mocking what the TheRedPill was and stood for.

I''ve never been more connected to anything I've read in my life. Every thread, every comment, every discussion is so incredibly articulate and poignant that I find myself thinking it isn't even real, that a community can't operate so fluidly with so many people practicing towards a common goal. I've shared the same thoughts about accepting the reality of your surroundings and situation to better yourself, but I am still in awe that the science has been dissected and presented in such a clear, logical, and completely undeniable way.

I know this comment is off topic but I just had to say something. I think the points above finally broke something in my brain.

The Red Pill is like the father we never had.

I came to this sub finding a way to attract women but discovered life

The best posts on this site are like this. Much less bitching about the state of the world or the beta victim mentality, than taking an active approach to changing your life by putting forth some kind of effort. In short, I've come to like TRP for the same reason I can't stomach the MRA subs.

Read. Lift. Practice. Fail. Think. Start over. Fail again. Get up. Start over. Live.

A blueprint for happiness as a man.

This is what TRP's "sexual strategy in a culture increasingly lacking a positive identity for men" amounts to. It isn't about "getting sex". It's about the fact that the world treats us differently as men, and that we respond to our environments differently than women do.

The above strategy in a single line by the OP is what every great man has ever followed.

I've been big on self improvement the past couple years. Dropped 100 pounds, enrolled in school and graduate in December as an RN. Dress better, posture, body language I try to convey..Lifting is the one thing I need to force myself to do. I'm currently 6'4 190 pounds and 26 yo, I need to add muscle but I have this huge mental roadblock about it. I just can't seem to get started with it.

It's not even the lifting itself, I have the willpower and motivation to stick to a training program and diet but I've never stepped foot in a gym. I feel weak and pathetic compared to everybody in there, like a noob. Don't know shit about the exercises or equipment and feel like I'm being judged.

I've been checking out novice lifting programs and Fierce Five seems to be a good starting point. It's like writing a paper for school, hardest part is getting started.

Thank you for this. This sub is the perfect guide to masculinity, the father figure I wish I had.

"The next version of yourself is a fucking badass that intimidates the shit out of you right now."

That's a great way to look at it. If my future self walked into the room right now, I'd hope he was fucking badass. Even more jacked, even better dressed, with an even more polarizing, interesting personality. That's what I'm working towards.

Thankyou so much for this post.

You are allowed to mourn your wasted time.

Yet don't waste even more of it stewing in said emotions.

I've been stuck here for a little bit too long, and you've just made me realise what an idiot I've been.

Being able to bench press that next weight consistently is such a great feeling. Overcoming that little voice in your head saying you can't, overcoming the ache in your body... There's nothing else like it.

This sounds like something Elliot Hulse would say. I love that dude's outlook on life.

Why is the OP's post removed?

EvilNando · 2014-05-30T11:29:29+00:00

why was this removed?

RepostTony · 2014-05-29T19:04:45+00:00

I fucking needed this today!

Wow, I finally figured out how to post here, I'm not good at Reddit. I think emotions go deeper than bitterness towards women not being kind or offering sex, and I think circumcision has had different possible negative effects on society inclusive of the possibility of more dependence on women to fill that void. But over the years I have had daydreams about who I wanted to be which seemed too masculine or cinematic, and not something that belonged in a blue pill, pro-shaming society. The fear of shame lead to the fear of growth, and kept me from feeling that life was meaningful. When I started see these fantasies about myself as blueprints instead of daydreams they helped me feel more meaning in my life.

This type of post is my favorite type of TRP post.

EvilNando · 2014-05-29T19:22:35+00:00

self improvement so far has been such a source of good emotions that when i see a women passing me by I feel lazy to approach her (and endure her bs) unless shes really attractive (>= hb8)

Im lifting and eating clean , I dont care much about the end goal (although im aware of how things can play in the future) as I love the process of it all

theres nothing like being a man and to live life on your own terms

limbooo · 2014-05-29T19:59:35+00:00

Needed to hear this. But who knows how long before I even attempt to "live" again.

ExamplePrime · 2014-05-29T20:19:31+00:00

This is what I've been building towards before I even stumbled across this subreddit

It's been my focus the last few years. Great post man
