Not one guy said "my father". Not one guy said "my teacher".

90% of the favorite role models of the people that replied here are media personalities or athletes. Lost boys we are indeed.

[–]2 Senior Endorsed Contributorvengefully_yours9 points10 points11 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

You haven't read mine yet. I'm considerably older than most and haven't ever been impressed with celebrities or most athletes.

My dad didn't do much other than teach me self reliance and that i need to endure hardship while i make my life better. It wasn't a positive experience, any good from it was due to my own sheer willpower and stubborn resolve not to be beaten down. Two teachers gave me slight direction adjustments, but mainly they didn't affect me much in a positive way either.

[–]red_pill_account18 points9 points10 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Unfortunelty my father is a narcissistic alcoholic. I do not look up to him. Thank god for role models on the internet...

[–]Rommel05023 points4 points5 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I was dying for a good relationship with my father as well. Unfortunately, his life for the most part revolved around his own entertainment. He's in his mid 80s right now and is trying to make up for much time lost, but for some things, too late is too late.

Conversely, at age 49 I look at what Ive achieved in my life with a shitty father and it gives me a sense of pride rather than regret. I can't control his actions, only my own, and I killed it in spite of him.

[–]BrodinsOats8 points9 points10 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

My father instilled tension, stress, anxiety and violence in me rather than courage and confidence.

Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan, and Odysseus (fictional) are some of my favorite role models.

[–]Bootsboots1230 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I was going to say my wrestling coach who also happened to be my health teacher :/

[–]mdcrubengonza0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I actually do hold my father is a role model.

[–]un-supervised-savage0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

This is the red pill you know. A vast majority of people here are looking for a way to make up for a lack of a strong male role model. Teachers for most under 50 probably even 60 were all female. That's why the book No more mister nice guy was written. I remember gravitating towards my male neighbors and Grandfather as a kid. Got my drive to start working out from grandpa. A bit sad but never too late to fix yourself and be a real and present dad to your kids.

[–]Alphadestrious0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Can we as humans beings be looked up to? Marinate on that for a minute.

[–]all4gibs0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago* (2 children) | Copy Link

now ask yourselves what it means for our future as media characters are changing drastically

we used to have movies like pinocchio with the moral of the story being listen to your conscience

now we have movies like frozen with the moral of the story being run away from your problems

edit: so bad examples. tell me how my main point is wrong

[–]innadi7860 points1 point2 points 8 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link

Running away from one's problems has been a common theme since the inception of literature, no need to "now we have these..." that...

[–]Bartholemew10 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Her running away was the problem presented in the movie, not the moral, mate.

People are lost because they have role models? I would love to hear this explanation.

[–]aigamithite13 points14 points15 points 8 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

You did not read my comment carefully, neither did you read illimitable's post.

The lost boys is referring to "Young Men & The Empathy Gap - "Young male suicide rates have increased 50% since 1994."" from the front page.

Not once did I question the usefulness of role models. What I am questioning, is the picks of the people frequenting this sub, which, to a large extent is not their fault. But that's me, and who knows, I could be wrong and everyone else could be right. It's highly probable actually.

"I would love to hear this explanation" and the rest of its passive aggressive variants, should be eliminated from your vocabulary, because it tends to be used by landwhales, sjws and generally not very likable people. You, as a red pill aware man, should not belong to that category.

[–]ShouldersofGiants1270 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Ok I understand your comment better now. I aint mean to come off as PA, I agree that shit is weak as fuck. Im not here to start beef with anybody, just here to learn through different perspectives

[–]aigamithite5 points6 points7 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

And that is OK - my comment was genuine because I used to talk like that once, until I decided to consciously stop using such expressions. This is something no one will tell you ever; their feels will get hurt and you won't even know.

It's just hard to convey what I wrote without facial expressions.

[–]URnotRP-1 points0 points1 point 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Its because all of you are so trigger happy to sell yourselves to a fake image and false idol you happily lap up the jizz of other "men" and tell them "Mmm, please give me more!"

There are plenty of positive, strong, RP male role models out there that you could find in real life. Co-workers, supervisors, managers, even your own fucking fathers and grandfathers. Instead you guys are all impressed by false images and false idols. Those guys you say aren't good role models went out there in the world and carved out their own place in it. Maybe by serving in the military which set them up for a lifetime of financial independence. Maybe by developing their skill set at a trade. Maybe by getting a college degree and advancing in a career where they set their family up for a modicum of financial independence even if they don't currently have millions and super models hanging all over them.

Lost boys you are because you don't realize what its really like to be alpha, you all just want internet celebrities (who don't post pictures of themselves to confirm that they are indeed these super cut pussy slaying masters of vagina) to tell you how to be alphas like fucking lizard people wearing the skins of humans.

Even those of you who have fathers born in the 70s, they still hand to endure the money hungry 80s, the competitive economic 90s, and the downswing of the late 2000s to carve out a financial niche in this world. Who cares if they got married and had families? They still had to work harder than any of you actually work at following the foundation of TRP, which is, be your own man.

Instead you let every last man out there tell you how you should live your life instead of making your own. Your father's will always be way more TRP than any of you can ever be bragging about your false FRs on the internet instead of working hard at making your own way in the world. 2000 word typed out FRs about how you make your way through life slaying all this pussy, not one picture ever posted to show how cut or attractive you are to back up this fact.

Conor McGregor.

If that guy can shit talk his way into a 180 million dollar boxing match with the best boxer of all time. I can shit talk my way into sleeping with girls 'out of my league'.

[–]SamuraiPizzaCatz30 points31 points32 points 8 years ago (44 children) | Copy Link

Fights are negotiable; Attraction isn't.

[–]NeoreactionSafe29 points30 points31 points 8 years ago* (35 children) | Copy Link

 

You missed the point... Conor McGregor has "attracted" the attention of everyone, has a girl and a baby already, has his first few million in the bank and has been able to attract people to this bizarre spectacle.

Do you realize that if Conor McGregor wins he becomes a sort of "god" as well as being rich. (which is a big thing for him... he wants the $$$)

If Conor McGregor loses by decision people will say:

 

  • "Boxing sucks. All they do is dance around and collect money."

 

Floyd Mayweather isn't much of a knockout artist as he prefers the dance steps.

 

[–]SolZoal23 points24 points25 points 8 years ago (20 children) | Copy Link

McGregor doesn't stand a chance, Mayweather will make a fool out of him.

How do people genuinely believe that a great UFC fighter will beat a great boxer at a boxing match?

[–]NeoreactionSafe30 points31 points32 points 8 years ago (17 children) | Copy Link

 

Mayweather will make a fool out of him.

 

Mayweather must actually knock him out or McGregor effectively wins.

Why?

Because Boxing has earned the reputation as a dull sport with not enough knockouts.

In MMA there are no "time outs" when a fighter gets rocked. Any time an MMA fighter falls down from a punch he will have a guy pounding him on the ground until the referee steps in to stop it.

In Boxing you have ten seconds to recover.

So if Mayweather dances around and McGregor dances around and nothing happens then Boxing loses.

A dull fight will be the final nail in the coffin of the already dying sport of Boxing.

McGregor only truly loses if he gets knocked out.

 

[–]SolZoal12 points13 points14 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Is it a Mayweather vs McGregor fight or a boxing vs UFC fight?

Because Boxing has earned the reputation as a dull sport with not enough knockouts.

This all depends on the fighter, for example Golovkin has 33 KOs from 37 wins. You can't make an assumption on the whole sport based on Mayweather only.

In boxing you have ten seconds to recover.

The fact that boxers only use their fists and don't hit the opponent when he's on the ground is what makes boxing better imo. Why would I want to watch a guy who's already out get hit?

You make it sound as if UFC fights are action packed with fists flying, but most of the time when there's a fight on TV all I see is guys on floor trying to put each other in submission holds, which is more boring imo than guys "dancing" in the ring.

Also the fact that you think the Mayweather vs McGregor fight has any effect on the sport of boxing is ridiculous. That match is a JOKE. I would recommend that you watch a REAL boxing match like Alvarez vs Golovkin on the 16th of September.

[–]ImaneedDatDunnie 7 points8 points9 points 8 years ago (10 children) | Copy Link

The fight is a farce and proves nothing either way.

People trying to dress it up as something important are just buying in to some bullshit narrative that's been spun to get money out of them.

[–]NeoreactionSafe8 points9 points10 points 8 years ago (9 children) | Copy Link

 

The fight is a farce and proves nothing either way.

 

It proves McGregor has great Game and can become rich and Alpha with no real downside.

 

[–]ShouldersofGiants1276 points7 points8 points 8 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

It proves he came along at a time where the UFC is desperate for star power. He also happens to be extremely proficient in throwing punches, something UFC stars don't always possess. UFC is gonna make almost as much money for this Conor McGregor appearance than any other card in their history, with very little expenses.

I give Conor his respect for getting to this fight & payday, but this could have easily been Chael Sonnen if his specialty was boxing and not wrestling. McG is literally a puppet for the UFC right now.

If you want TRP principles and examples, look over to Floyd's career and see how he's gonna make $300 million for this fight and not have to give up 80% of that.

[–]Neveratpeace 0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Not true, it couldn't be Chael, since he doesn't have that raw charisma Conor has.

You think he's artificially built up? He is one of the goats, his last three fights were some of the most enjoyable and shocking in mma history.

It may be true that there was a 'star' vacuum after Rousey and that he filled it, but that only speaks of his grit and capabilities.

I

[–]ShouldersofGiants1270 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I hate to sound like a Conor hater, I truly enjoy watching him fight and trash talk, but I do think the UFC is helping to push him towards superstardom because they've been facing a big void as far as having superstars on their roster. I mean, aside from him and Jon Jones, who else is gonna sell a card to the casuals?

Correct me if I'm wrong but Conor never even had to defend that belt he took from Aldo, right?

I think people should look more at Conor's story opposed to his bravado. Shit, Conor not really doing anything different in his trash talk than some of the greatest fighters. I found it more impressive that he was being groomed to take over his family business, which was stable and guaranteed himself and family a comfortable life, but he risked and hes on top of the world just a few years later.

[–]ImaneedDatDunnie -1 points0 points1 point 8 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

Yeah, but the result doesn't affect that at all. The actual fight itself is still a farce.

McGregor is a complete mouth but he knows how to create hype and buzz and make money. I'm an Irishman, It's ridiculous how many people buy in to this bullshit. I don't blame Conor at all, he's just making money but the fight is a circus act.

[–]CreateANewAccount___-1 points0 points1 point 8 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

The man is two weight world champion. Don't diminish his accomplishments and ability to manifest himself into this fight to a mouth.

[–]ImaneedDatDunnie 0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

Hes a great MMA fighter but he's also a total mouth.

He's also got you completely wrapped around his little finger trying to live vicariously through this persona he acts out on stage. This fight is nonsense and you've swallowed it hook, line and sinker.

He's laughing at people like you as you make him rich.

[–]CreateANewAccount___0 points 8 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

You boiled down his ability to get into this fight as a mouth. His charisma has taken him significantly farther than most MMA fighters ever could but none of it is possible if he isn't winning fights. That's not debatable.

Additionally, spare me the condescending tone like you're so enlightened on the subject and see ultimate truths.

Everyone recognizes the absurdity of the event and only two things are propelling it: two massive names in combat sports and the big what if if Conor somehow pulls it off.

And he's definitely not laughing at fans of his or people that recognize his body of work for what it is. He laughs at the people like you that would strip any accomplishment he's had to timing or charisma or PR or any excuse you can clamor too. Much like Mayweather, it's really the hate that propels Conor to the next level of stardom so he cheerfully thanks you for the contribution.

[–]ImaneedDatDunnie1 point 8 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

Jesus, that response beyond cringey. Hate? Try total indifference.

Keep drinking that 'ultimate truth' kool-aid, you total mark.

[–]CreateANewAccount___0 points 8 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

Once again you use a condescending tone because your statements don't have merit. You can call it indifference but when you try to diminish the accomplishments of someone based simply on your opinion and no facts we like to call those people "haters". Get with the times kid.

[–]ShouldersofGiants1275 points6 points7 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

UFC coming to Boxing for a payday, but this fight has the potential to be the final nail in boxing.

Stick to esoteric bullshit bro.

[–]tuyguy0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Mayweather already let this happen (boxing lose) when he danced around Pacquiao for 12 rounds. I don't think he cares.

[–]Surf_Or_Die-1 points0 points1 point 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Because Boxing has earned the reputation as a dull sport with not enough knockouts.

Hell no. While I admire the athleticism and fighting skills of the UFC - it is boring to watch. Ground game is incredibly boring to watch and that's where most UFC fights end up. Boxing on the other hand is very exciting to watch. The 80s was the golden age and it's been sliding down hill ever since but it's still exciting to watch. The UFC is hit or miss. Only the sluggers are entertaining.

I read nothing you write because it's all pseudo-intellectual bullshit.

[–]NeoreactionSafe8 points9 points10 points 8 years ago (12 children) | Copy Link

 

Good you have an open mind on evidence.

That's a sign of an intelligent man.

 

  • Open minded on evidence.

  • Closed minded on thinking.

  • Share your wisdom.

 

[–]Rznk138 1 points1 points1 points 8 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

By evidence you mean your personal opinion with the lack of anything to back it up?

[–]NeoreactionSafe8 points9 points10 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

 

I am close minded on thinking.

All I do is Think For Myself.

This is the core of the Red Pill thought process to "go your own way".

However, one also should accept new evidence when presented.

Always be open minded to truly new evidence.

And always be prepared for a Paradigm Shift if that new evidence leads you to a new understanding.

 

  • The Red Pill is a "Paradigm Shift".

  • The Red Pill is an apocalypse. (meaning "to reveal hidden Truth")

  • The Red Pill is the act of destroying Blue Pill myths.

I agree with samuraipizzacats. This is a sub for sexual strategy. The esoteric bullshit you write is hardly helpful, at least in my perspective

[–]NeoreactionSafe11 points12 points13 points 8 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

 

The Red Pill is about Natural Law.

The Blue Pill is a mythology.

If you want to have a "Positive Masculinity" it will be necessary to actually wake up a little.

 

  • This is not an exclusively PUA sub

 

If all you want is canned PUA scripts there are other subs for that.

This issue was resolved years ago... at least three as I've been here since the beginning.

This is not an exclusively PUA sub

It's not an esoteric bullshit sub either.

If all you want is canned PUA scripts there are other subs for that.

If all you want is to post metaphysical conspiracy theories there are other subs for that.

[–]NeoreactionSafe4 points5 points6 points 8 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

 

  • Esoteric

 

intended for or likely to be understood by only a small number of people with a specialized knowledge or interest.

 

mid 17th century: from Greek esōterikos, from esōterō, comparative of esō ‘within,’ from es, eis ‘into.’ Compare with exoteric.

 

You will need to find another word apparently.

The Red Pill is "understood by only a small number of people" so it actually is a rare and esoteric thing.

The number of people who are Red Pill aware is small.

Looks like you need to invent a new word.

 

[–]reddttt6 points7 points8 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I guess what they are trying to say is that you say over-complicated shit for simple shit. But it's cool for me. I like what you write. Sometimes.

[–]TheEmperorD1 point 8 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

Please, the red pill is understood by many naturally (and rejected) at one point in their life. It doesn't mean everyone is posting about it on forums, the only people coming here are looking for PUA/lifestyle advice hell i wouldn't even be here if i didn't search something fitness related and stayed because the topics here confirmed some of my thinking. For me after taking the red pill fully, all you do is set goals and enjoy the road, knowing you're gonna accomplish them = amused mastery.

EDIT:

I read some of your other post and i do agree with a lot of stuff you preach. BP way of life is being pushed hard on us, and anything slightly red pill is deliberately removed i don't have to search for that shit you just notice it and laugh it off. The switch from BP to RP naturally will become much harder, luckily that is not my problem.

[–]randomassortment_2 points3 points4 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

"Natural Law" lol, what does that even mean? "positive masculinity", the more you post, the more it sounds like you circlejerk and continue to do so to boost your ego

[–]Hviterev0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Sexual strategy? Oh I see! I think you're on the wrong sub. This has to be the most BP shit I read all day.

[–]Mr-Ed2090 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

You're missing the point on so many levels.. Really didn't think I'd have to explain this.

Conveying confidence, belief and a purpose make you infinitely more attractive to women. McGregor is a talented fighter who through his action and how he presents himself has landed a deal waaaay bigger than anyone could have expected.

Consider this.. Ed Sheeran is literally a heart throb to some women.. Just think about that and let that one sink in..

So no... I don't negotiate women into having sex with me. They want to have sex with me because I'm interesting, do cool things and look after myself.

[–]SamuraiPizzaCatz-1 points0 points1 point 8 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

Ed Sheeran makes love songs and has insane status. Using some ugly CELEBRITY as proof that attraction is negotiable is retarded on so many levels. And the 'some' women is all the proof I need that he isn't a heart throb to MOST women.

McGregor is a shit talker who talked his way into fighting Floyd. People want to see him get knocked out and shut down. My point was that anybody can negotiate deals, but you cannot negotiate deals with women.

I'm not missing any point. You want to peacock your apparent sex appeal, which nobody even challenged. Now that you mention it, though, you did say

[–]Mr-Ed209-1 points0 points1 point 8 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

Are you autistic? seriously?

'Sheeran makes love songs and has insane status. Using some ugly CELEBRITY as proof that attraction is negotiable is retarded on so many levels.'

Why? the guy has access to more tail than you, I and the biggest chad from your high school ever will. I'm using it as a rather obvious and extreme example. Average men can implement those qualities into their own lives and benefit. Theres plenty of skinny 19 year old guys who bang hot girls because they front a local band etc.

'My point was that anybody can negotiate deals, but you cannot negotiate deals with women.'

No, anybody cannot negotiate deals. You have to bring something to the table, same as with women. McGregor got that fight because he can sell tickets. And he can sell tickets because he's a cocky, charismatic guy with high value. Those traits are negotiable, you can choose to behave that way. If he was as talented as he is, but a shy wallflower then this fight would not be happening.

Same with women. I 'negotiate' my image to them, and as a result I bed hot women (when it works). How is this so hard to understand?

[–]SamuraiPizzaCatz-1 points0 points1 point 8 years ago* (1 child) | Copy Link

Well, for one, you said if he can so can you, implying that you haven't done shit yet. You talking about what could be vs. what is means you're mentally masturbating at best.

Being skinny isn't the same thing as being an ugly fat ranga with bug eyes and an estrogenic face. Red hair is completely undesirable by most women, same with beta bug eyes and having a bulldog mug (especially one that makes you look like a low-t beta). Your 'extreme example' automatically becomes null and void because of how extreme it is. Celebrity status ugly guy is like a skinny guy doing steroids. Without it, they ain't shit.

The only person who seems autistic is you thinking that you can negotiate attraction by becoming useful, as if women give a fuck what some ugly guy is capable of. Ugly meaning how they perceive you - I'm not about to get into a looks debate because I can already tell your dumb ass thinks looks don't matter.

You are PRESENTING your image to them, not negotiating. Figure out what negotiation means - You even say "when it works", which tells me you didn't negotiate shit but presented yourself to women who already liked you.

As far as fictional goes, Indiana Jones. I grew up idolizing him because he's alpha as fuck.

He is unilaterally opposed to fascism, nazism, socialism, collectivism, organized religion, and any other form of slavery of the mind and body. He was a true American - not in the Uncle Sam, flag waving, pro-government patriotic bullshit sense...but in the lone-wolf, anti-government IDGAF and do whatever I want kind of sense that represents Individualism.

He was extremely loyal to the men that were close to him, and had no remorse killing people who tried to kill him or fucking over enemies that got in his way. In fact, he was very good at killing people, just watch the bar scene from Raiders. He was not afraid of anybody or anything except God himself (and snakes).

His frame is impenetrable, his game is top notch, he's insanely intelligent and very high Testosterone. He's a professor at an ivy league college so his bank account is obviously stacked. All the females in his classes want to bang him, and he occasionally bangs some of them like Marion Ravenwood (who he alpha-widows) but she fucks him again in Raiders.

His missions in life (archaeology) were always his number 1 priority. The women around him were a result of that, they always just "tagged along", which just ended up happening of course because he was such a high SMV male that they instinctively just knew to trust him despite how much of an aloof asshole he was to them.

And of course he always ends up accomplishing his objectives.

[–]SamuraiPizzaCatz27 points28 points29 points 8 years ago* (10 children) | Copy Link

It's just about the struggle men experience in a more PC culture, to the point where any strong force can come along and brainwash them. It's also about anti-materialism and two-facedness.

Tyler is not a role model. Tyler is everything wrong about people. Fight Club was a cult, and the philosophies of Fight Club were nothing more than a way to charm lost men, like Charles Manson without the killing.

This fact that Tyler was an amoral POS gets lost on people because they too are charmed by his strong personality.

[–]IkWhatUDidLastSummer0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (9 children) | Copy Link

How is he an amoral POS? And what force can come along and brainwash them, you referring to Tyler here? And can you elaborate two-facedness?

[–]SamuraiPizzaCatz7 points8 points9 points 8 years ago (8 children) | Copy Link

He's amoral because he brainwashes the 'space monkeys' into committing crimes and acts of terror (kidnappings, vandalism, theft, attacks on people, 'resetting the debt') all because he personally wants to see the world in chaos. You cannot have morals to do that.

The force that can come along is someone preying on misguided people into doing/being what they want. Tyler takes advantage of everyone in his 'club' and establishes other 'clubs' around the country looking for lost men to charm and train into becoming terrorists. This can also be seen with PUA's taking advantage of loser men by misguiding them, or terrorists taking advantage of young kids and misguiding them, etc.

The two-facedness comes from the fact that the narrator doesn't actually care about the people in the support groups, the fakeness of the people at work, the fakeness of Tyler, etc.

[–]IkWhatUDidLastSummer1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link

Damn that makes much more sense. I missed all of this when watching it, i was so confused so i just considered it a bad movie because i didnt realize what it was about. What about anti materialism? He lives in a broken house with water everywhere right? And he shags this ugly washed up slut?

[–]SamuraiPizzaCatz6 points7 points8 points 8 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link

The famous 'The things you own end up owning you' speech

You are not your fucking khakis

Plus, the fact that he moves into a shithole is a statement in itself. He gives up all modern luxuries (and hygiene) because, to him, all he needs is a roof over his head (no matter how dilapidated). Same with him not taking his job as serious and even bothering to blow his apartment up in the first place.

[–]IkWhatUDidLastSummer1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

I see. But when is it ever recommendable to give up on everything (just because you are anti-materialistic, i am that myself) to live in a complete shithole? Is it just to make a point or what is up?

[–]SamuraiPizzaCatz3 points4 points5 points 8 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

The movie was about bringing yourself to rock bottom so you can be remolded. Just like Tyler did it to the space monkeys, he did it to the narrator as well.

Again, it's mostly about brainwashing.

[–]IkWhatUDidLastSummer0 points 8 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

But how do we distinguish tyler from the narrator? Thats also another part i found confusing. Is it him? is it his thoughts?

[–]SamuraiPizzaCatz2 points 8 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

The Narrator switches between personas. Sometimes he is Tyler, and is just imagining himself observing Tyler, and sometimes he's himself and Tyler is just a voice inside his head.

It's stated in the beginning he's been experiencing narcolepsy and has been waking up in random places. That could be seen as him entering his 'Tyler' phase and just not being aware of it at first.

You can distinguish Tyler from the Narrator in the film by the way people interact with Tyler. If people are responding/listening to Tyler, then the narrator is being Tyler. If they are responding to the Narrator, then Tyler is in his head.

Jesus.. I didn't realize I could sperg out about a movie.

[–]IkWhatUDidLastSummer0 points 8 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

Ok that makes sense. But how can he be "himself" and Tyler is just a voice in his head? Isnt he always just tylers mind then?

[–]Patriarchysaurus2 points 8 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

Tyler is his "redpill", amoral self who wants to see civilisation burn. "Enjoying the Decline" is his North Star, basically. He doesn't give a fuck about how he lives his life: he blows up his apartment and starts squatting in an abandoned building. Then he decides to start fucking a slut who couldn't possibly be any more sexually and psychologically damaged if she tried. Finally, he spends the rest of his time recruiting impressionable, injured men from various support groups to do his bidding under the pretext that the "Fight Club" will make them "better men" in some way. Edward Norton is Tyler's real self, and that's the way others actually see him-- he's less handsome than he thinks he is, less muscular than he thinks he is, and also less charming/seductive than he thinks he is (as Tyler/Brad Pitt).

Bane. Not because he's a criminal but his back story is truly amazing. The guy started with nothing in a prison. He learned and taught himself how to fight. And more importantly he taught himself academics.

I just like his back story because it's basically a big "fuck you" to anyone who thinks they have an excuse to not succeed. Fiction I know.

In real life I'll say my former six grade teacher. He was also my basketball coach. Funny story he taught us this class on how to be a gentleman. In this class he taught us about sex Ed, dating and relationships. This is when he became a role model in some way as I didn't really have a father figure.

The first day of this class he wrote on the board "chivalry is not dead." He then went on to teach us about chivalry.

13 years later I met up with my teacher at some festival. I told him I waited for years ever since high school to see him again to tell him that chivalry is officially dead and he was wrong. He busted out laughing and said "i agree with you. Had no idea how bad women were when I talked about it."

Now to be fair my teacher is still married and have been for 15 years and has four kids. I met his wife (who wasn't fat BTW) and him last week and she seemed really cool. He even told me that even when he got laid off she still stuck with him. But he admitted that most women aren't like her.

So yea I consider him a role model.

Sylvester Stallone, not a Chad but is just a mans man who's slayed a ton of poon in his time.

[–]CantStopWontStop___0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

That's why you look up to Stallone? You must not now the story behind Rocky. This is why he's my role model. https://youtu.be/vZywfAm7Q9E

Non Fiction

Chris Kyle - American bad ass and an intelligent male. Dude had a great sense of humor and attitude as well despite all the stuff he had to go through. Alpha male in many respects.

Richard Marcinko - just read rogue warrior enough said. I read a lot of books about the SEALs because I feel like a lot of there training and mentaility is very effective and has a lot to do with being an Alpha male.

Fiction

Will add the rest later on the go right now..

Non Fiction: Sir Richard Francis Burton and Steve Irwin. Also one of my former neighbors when I lived in Indonesia (his name was Mr. Untung.) He was a very alpha but soft spoken man who radiated respect. Nobody had anything bad at all to say about him.

I'm going to go with Rollo from Vikings. He knew what he wanted and he did not give a fuck about how he got it.

The Count of Monte Cristo. Ever since I saw the anime telling of the story I made a goal to be like him. To be able to control others and myself with knowledge and wisdom.

Fiction: Storm Shadow until I was 7. Batman since then. James Bond, now. Bobby Axelrod.

Real-life: John Rockefeller and Donald Trump.

[–]samvdvda2 points3 points4 points 8 years ago (8 children) | Copy Link

Can you explain why Donald Trump? I love to hear other people's viewpoints about him.

[–]PowerVitamin4 points5 points6 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

He came back from 3.5 billion dollars in debt. Most people commit suicide at 1 million dollars in debt. Consider if you were 100 million dollars in debt... and... now multiply that by x30. /unstoppable

The willpower and tenacity is legendary. A true modern hero.

[–]gradchad 1 points1 points1 points 8 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

Well, he rarely compromises. His parents gave him a mil and he multiplied it by 4000 times. He always does what he loves and loves what he does.

[–]sophiescholl2 0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

he got a lot more than a mil from mommy and daddy and his current wealth is actually pretty mediocre given what he started with

[–]gradchad 1 points1 points1 points 8 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

What, at best he'd have been given around 10 mil? A 400x multiplier is pretty rad to me.

[–]sophiescholl2 0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

He wouldve made more if he put that scrilla in an index fund and didn't touch it. Trump's a fucking clown.

[–]Pplegault 6 points7 points8 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

  • "and didn't touch it" - sure - all of us would be richer today if we never spent a fucking dime in our entire fucking lives. If DJT had left it in an index fund and gone to work making 50k per year and living in a small suburban home in Ohio or Missouri and never did a fucking thing in his life and lived on his crappy 50k/ year salary, he'd be richer today. But what kind of a fucking moron would do such a thing and what kind of a fucking moron wouldn't consider that DJT's business career funded a lifestyle of expensive conspicuous consumption- something that this moronic index fund hypothetical counter example couldn't.

Trump is a fucking clown but you have to be tucking stupid to take this "index fund" story seriously.

[–]KevinMKV4 points5 points6 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

lol, if he put it in index funds he'd have cash.

but he wouldnt be donald fucking trump, president of the strongest country in the history of mankind, and ceo of the trump organization.

Mom's boyfriends:

One was with her for 3 years. a 25 y/o 6+foot chad who drove fast, had a decent job and adored us. I gues I picked up on his demeanours and that's a good thing.

The other was an older ex military intelligence security guy who had a gun holstered to his side. Taught me about responsibility and criticao thinking. He would have been a very good male role model for an American family I guess. (Except we were not and are not in America).

Other role models are King Leonidas from '300' for defending his territory and dominion, a HUGE real role model is Vince Gorinda The Iron Guru, who was so ahead of his time and seems to be right about everything (except calcium intake).

Others I want to emulate are Johan von Goethe, Marcus Aurellius and Macciovelli

[–]Casd120 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I dont have a role model, I gain knowledge, ideas and inspiration from many people. Half of them are contributors on here and others are from many places, (historic figures, philosophers, money managers, fictional characters etc.)

[–]Trooper_18680 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

If I'm half as smart and hard working as my dad, my family will be worth at least over 100 million if I live to the 60s (wont say how much more than we have now but its considerable). Its not exaggeration. Its just facts. Im here because everyone is striving to get their shit together and that is exactly what I want to learn. Could care less about women, more importantly on work ethic and how to excel in life. And this community, is one of the best shots I have.

[–]Thinkingard0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I feel like the older I get the less male role models I have. Any action star was a rolemodel in my youth. Any intellectual in my college days. Now they are self-made businessmen if I have any to think of. Perhaps the last fictional character that almost became a role model was James T. Kirk. I liked the way he led. He almost always got his ass kicked but he was still the undisputed alpha a great model for assertiveness.

[–]Agrees_withyou0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

You've got a good point there.

[–]leonxtravis0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Pharrell Williams. I don't think there's ever been a stage in his adult life where he wasn't always working towards his vision non stop...shit even now.

But unlike those who take the easy way and just relax once they've hit a stride, he's always got a project whether it's music (as bland as it is now compared to his Neptunes days), movies, clothing, art, etc.

He is and will always be one of my biggest influences.

[–]Chiggy_beeze 2 points3 points4 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Go and listen to his sound track he did with Hans Zimmer for the Amazing spiderman 2, might put a damper on your opinion on him.

Edmond Dantes. The dude went monk mode for decades and fucked shit straight the fuck up after. The count of monte cristo

[–]LiftingW8sGettingD8s0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Don Draper in terms of how to 'carry myself'. I like Connor McGregor as well.

Alan Shore from Boston Legal also has some brilliant moments.

My dad in some ways. His views weren't necessarily RP, but he always had an IDGAF attitude and super strong frame (like we would argue and I'd know that he is wrong, and know that he knows that he is wrong, but I'd still walk away feeling like the loser).

[–]whoismikejoneswho0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

My grandpa. Survived WW2 in epic fashion, achieved excellence despite persistent discrimination, invented things that helped his country, always had time for his only grandson. The kind of man I hope to one day be.

[–]Chiggy_beeze 0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Tyler durden from Fight Club. Obviously he's a fanatic, but his inherent disposition, the way he dresses, and the simple trait of not giving a single fuck about anything but his friends and personal goals is an inspiration.

[–]Lucky-Mustard0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

(fuck my enlglish) Hell...first im gonna say Vegeta from dragon ball z! - cuz he never give up , he have a strong willpower and manly vibe. Watching this guy a will to become stronger and proud of myself was born inside me.

Second is Shikamaru from Naruto- he is smart , chill and i love his attitude. From him i started to balance my energy from agresive as fuck to chill and not breaking my frame in bad situations. I still have alot to learn.

Hannibal Lector- amazing dressing style , and the passion for everything! cooking ,painting or killing the passion was there. Amazing personality...

And my grand grandfathers... one was a short skinny guy but brave and tricky as fuck , he was a hunter with 12 kids , survived the war and did many crazy things. The other one was a big guy who loved women and life. Drinking , fighting , playing games and fuking every women in his way.

[–]Hviterev0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Conor McGregor.

Honorable Mentions:

  • Bruce Lee

  • Trump

  • Victor Pride

  • Don Draper

  • Captain Flint

[–]GOATmar0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

  • Fedor Emelianenko

  • Donald J. Trump

  • Don Draper

  • Jiren from Dragon Ball Super

One amazing thing they all have in common is their unshakable grip on their Reality, even under dire circumstances.

As far as fashion/style role models go, I draw inspiration from

  • Ryan Gosling

  • Daniel Craig

  • Conor McGregor

  • David Gandy

What they have in common is that they're fit and can pull off the rugged, slightly edgy, masculine style when they dress up. I'm tall and lift heavy so if something looks good on them, it will certainly look good on me.

[–]Japaliicious1 point 8 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

2 friends (one for woman game and another for self-development), more or less my father (he was absent and has some BP ideals, but still a great man), and actually Kirito (yeah, that one from SAO, he is like a better version of myself).

[–]Bruno25321 point 8 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

Some parts Don Draper, some parts Harvey Specter, both for frame. Handling life and being your own man- my father.

Jake the muss from once were warriors. dude didn't give a sh*t. was strongest and toughest guy in new Zealand. was feared and respected by all and infamous where he lived. he taught me to never take shit from anyone. to never be afraid to fight and to always demand respect wherever you go. he may just be a movie character but he was my idol and father figure when i had none. dude was also huge and had a cool sense of humor. sure he had his flaws but he had a shitty childhood and no father figures of his own. he grew up and lived in a time where information like TRP was unavailable and you had to be rockhard to survive.

[–]PillTheRed-1 points0 points1 point 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I always liked Anton Levay. He wrote the satanic Bible. If that isn't IDGAF attitude, I don't know what is. Now, levayen satanism, is actually just fancy atheism. They don't believe in anything supernatural. The spells and curses and whatnot, are just forms of meditation to focus your energy on something. Satan, in the Greek meaning, translates to the adversary. What he teaches, is to question everything, including the Christian value system, and morality in general. Anton was a circus performer before he created the first Church of Satan. So, he was a showman at heart, and his presentation of any topic is entertaining in the least. I recommend reading the book. If anything, just to take in knowledge that is incredibly different than you would ever find in most religion and philosophers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Satanic_Bible
