I found TRP in November of 2013. I was 22 years old, and all I had to show for it were two ONS's and a shitty long distance relationship where I was paying $300 to fly halfway across the country every time I wanted to get laid. It still lasted five months and only ended when she told me she was cheating on me the whole time.

Since finding the pill I've started lifting and gained about 10 pounds of muscle, started studying for a new career (been working a decent, but dead-end job since graduating college) fucked 6 new women, and entered into a very satisfying 3-month LTR with a great low count girl. I ended the relationship this weekend because she's 28 years old (I'm currently 23), really wants a family in the next three years, and frankly I couldn't get over the fear that I was gonna get baby-trapped. She'd already told me that she didn't believe in abortion, and accidents fucking happen.

When I got into TRP I only had one thing on my mind, and that was fucking women. Everything I did was an attempt to improve my appearance and game for the purpose of getting women. I was sexually frustrated and needed a release. Now, I've honestly had so much sex in the last three months that I feel like I can really put women on the back burner. I'm entering monk mode to focus on lifting, saving money, and getting my career off the ground, with the goal of having 5 more pounds of muscle and a job in my chosen field by the end of the year.

I'm not gonna go out to meet women for the rest of 2014. I deleted tinder when I got with my gf, and I'm not gonna redownload it until next year. If a hot girl makes herself available to me in the course of my regular life, I'll go for it, but women will not take up any of my effort or energy.

I feel like I've come very far in my first year and I'm proud, but I absolutely could have gone farther. I didn't commit myself fully to my lifting routine and took a three month break in the middle of the year. I've admittedly slacked on it recently on account of my gf too. My game has gotten worlds better (a year ago it was nonexistent), but it still needs a lot of work. I still suffer from approach anxiety, and tend to use alcohol as a crutch. I often find myself trying too hard to be an asshole, to the point where it's obvious or really pisses women off. I've yet to get enough bangs (and rejections) to develop abundance mentality.

Still, thinking about how far I've come (quiet, skinny beta) in just one year fills me with excitement for what I'll be in November 2015, and beyond. Thank you again, TRP, for everything.
