If you’ve found yourself on TRP then you’re probably a relatively smart person. One of the biggest mistakes a newcomer to TRP might make is that just because we advocate lifting weights and talking with more swagger than you’re used to that you need to turn yourself into some mindless meathead. Or that being intelligent is somehow inherently a disadvantage because nerds don’t get laid. This couldn’t be farther from the truth.

Yes, you don’t need to be intelligent to get laid. And no, intelligence by itself isn’t going to get girls to drop their panties. But to say that intelligence can’t be useful in sexual strategy is undeniably false. It’s all in the application.

Examples:

Bad application: You spend all day trying to come up with new strategies to finally beat that new video game

Good application: You spend a lot of time reading red pill material and learning the truth about modern society. You then use this knowledge to get what you want out of the system.

Bad application: You dedicate your brain power to becoming an engineering drone at some mid-level firm. You go to work, shut your mouth and are a nice little cog in the machine in till you die

Good application: You quickly learn and pick up on social dynamics. When some guy tries to AMOG you, you verbally run circles around him and socially dominate him. He thanks you when you’re done

Bad application: You spend all day online arguing pointless internet debates you’ve already had a 1000 times

Good application: You notice a demand for a product and a market that’s fresh to be exploited. You figure out the right people to connect and become a successful CEO

It should be obvious that a pattern is emerging from these examples. Intelligence is a powerful tool to increase your SMV. But like any tool it must be used correctly in order to work. So if you’re a smart guy, don’t try and hide it because you won’t be able to anyway. Commandment of Poon XII: Maximize your strengths.

Some of the girls I spin aren’t exactly scholars. When I use “fancy” vocabulary in our conversations and they don’t know what I just said, I just laugh at them for being dumb or tell them to google it. And she will every time if she’s attracted to you. She’ll whip out her iphone and start googling because omg what if he doesn’t think I’m smart enough for him??. As if I actually give a shit either way.

This is your frame. You don’t stoop to her level; she has to come up to yours. Superiority = tingles.

Again, intelligence isn’t enough on its own. I can’t stress that enough because I know someone is going to read this and think I advocate trying to talk to girls in bars about partial differential equations and boring them to death. But part of becoming a man who successfully puts TRP into practice is developing a strong frame and high level of congruence. If you’re smart, be fucking smart. If you’re an athlete, be an athlete. There is no one right way to do this.
