That title may have come across a bit harsh—particularly for the teens and young 20-somethings still living at home.
But it'll make sense in a bit so bear with me.
I've been a follower of The Red Pill and its offshoot communities for about 4 years now. I'm incredibly thankful for TRP, still consider myself a student, and am nowhere near the self-actualized version of myself that TRP preaches we should strive for.
With that said, there's been a lot of lamenting about the state of the community lately: "we're under attack from the SJW libs" "the community ain't what it used to be" and blah blah blah. Frankly, I do believe those things are true, however, the unfortunate reality of those trends is the influx of hundreds—if not thousands—of blind leading the blind.
Who are the blind?
People who haven't even BEGUN to do the long and monotonous work to have a perspective worth sharing.
These are people who are constantly looking for "answers" but when referred to the same sources of wisdom the wise men they're bugging once sought out for themselves (The Sidebar, The Rational Male, NMMNG, WISNIFG, Game, Book of Pook, Mystery Method, etc.), they screenshot them, download them, or buy them then....NEVER READ THEM. (I've been guilty of this myself).
They don't take a serious look at their diet. They don't get a gym membership or actively try to create a consistent workout routine—even if it's push-ups and sit-ups at home with a light jog around the neighborhood for cardio.
Instead, they come back to the source (this subreddit) for more motivation or inspiration from people who have made the difficult journey to get to the promised land.
Rather than take the journey themselves, they watch from the shore as the next man sets sail, hoping that one day they'll have the resolve to do it themselves.
At the time of this writing, I'm a 30m and I've been you.
I've watched countless men BEGIN their journey and ultimately find success. And from the wings I waited to see what would happen because I wanted the reassurance that the path they took would be a successful one. And when it was, I was forced to lament that I wasted time watching when I should've been doing.
And then I'd forget about them, and watch the next man take their journey, and so on, and so forth.
One of the biggest concerns on this subreddit is wondering where you stand with a woman (or women).
If this is you, you've already fucked up. You're in someone else's frame. You're thinking of yourself and your worth based on other people's perspective. This is wrong. You have to switch this into becoming the best version of yourself (whatever that means) because YOU find it important and worthwhile.
You want your body to look good so you lift.
You want to feel healthy so you eat a balanced diet.
You want to be more intelligent and knowledgeable so you read.
You want to have more financial freedom so you improve your skillsets.
And you do this regardless of whether you're getting pussy or not.
It's that simple.
On the other hand, if you're wondering why the girls aren't approaching you on the street to grab your number or they aren't texting you back, it may be because you sir, are a loser.
A loser that thinks nothing but of what women think of him.
A loser that has no ambition besides playing video games and jacking off.
A loser that has no discipline to follow through on his goals.
A loser that has no goals.
A loser that believes there's no point in having goals because of the limiting factors of his biology, race, height, or some other excuse not to set sail on their journey—any journey.
So, I challenge you, dear reader, for every girl that didn't look your way, for every time you got rejected, or every girl that ghosted you, I want you to look inward and be honest with yourself and ask "Am I a loser?"
And if the answer is yes, I want you to recognize that the overwhelming majority (yup, even the famously successful ones) have ALL been losers at some point in their lives.
The difference is what they decided to DO about it.
You've got the books. You've got the advice. You've got the directions.
Read, lift, follow your passion, get OUT of the house, make money, and use your mouth to talk to people in real life.
The rest will come.

Indeed, decisiveness is the single most critical quality for a man to possess.
“Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.”
-President Theodore Roosevelt
“Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide.”
-Napoleon Bonaparte

Indeed, he was one of the greatest archetypes of, as Marcus Aurelius put it, the “Good Men” in history. His sayings, they just slap. I have them all.
“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”
-President Theodore Roosevelt
“We need the iron qualities that go with true manhood. We need the positive virtues of resolution, of courage, of indomitable will, of power to do without shrinking the rough work that must always be done.”
-President Theodore Roosevelt
