Osmosis:

1: A process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one, thus equalizing the concentrations on each side of the membrane.

2: The process of gradual or unconscious assimilation of ideas, knowledge, etc.

 

The act of reading books cover to cover in and of itself will not suddenly unplug you. You do not unconsciously assimilate RP ideas. Your actions and replies will not suddenly shift to be more witty, effective, and drench her panties. Simply surrounding yourself with books of RP wisdom and lurking in the subs of dense RP thought will not transfer a solid frame, OI, and AM onto yourself through osmosis.

Those starting out. Use your heads and think. Think about examples of covert contracts you've made in the past when you read about them in NMMNG. Understand why David Deida tells you that women get mad when you offer solutions to their problems when they're complaining to you. Blend the ideas Rollo teaches with future observations of women shutting down a beta at a bar or smiling and giggling when an alpha throws down a ridiculous line. This isn't just some words on a screen or text in a book. You need to INTERNALIZE this. You need to make it a part of your conscious thought. You need to train yourself to read it, reflect on it, observe it, sort it, order it. You need to live it and breathe it. Simply put you need to put some damn effort into it. There's been a noticeable amount of, "I read WISNIFG, then I said no to my wife and felt guilty...what do" lately.
