Advice for a 16 year old guy

Avoid oneitis at all costs. Don't let some hot babe suck you in to an LTR. Spin plates, bang lots of bitches, socialize, get off your computer, take over the world.

Also, school comes first, apply for college. Don't let gaming chicks stunt your academic/career growth. You've got 30+ years ahead of you to fuck chicks and the more successful you are in life the more successful you'll be with women.

for the love of God, lift heavy and often - make good use of your teenage growth hormones

Stand up for yourself. In school I was pretty apathetic to a lot of things people said about me, or how they treated me (girls in particular). If I began calling people out on bullshit then it would make it a lot easier now (early 20s). It doesn't stop. If you give someone an inch, they will want a yard, and so will everyone else who saw it.

Tell people to fuck off. Don't be afraid to let the situation escalate. People will always test your boundaries.

TRP doesn't really have age specific information the same things apply no matter what. Having youth on your side does help though. It's harder for an older guy to get in shape, particularly if he's never learnt how to do that in his life. You have opportunities that older men may not have.

Concentrate on improving yourself and setting up a career, don't just waste your days chasing pussy. Skipping classes to finger pop some girl might sound fun and it is but think of the long game would be my advice and don't let women get in the way of that.

This would have been my advise to my 16 year old self. I took the short game at the expense of the long game and it slowed me down. Probably the cause of my eventual oneitis. Don't back yourself into a Corner. Don't even think about getting into a relationship with a girl. She won't help you with your long term goals.

Reading and patience. Experience will come your way through school and extracurricular activities; your awareness will be crucial to reinforce these concepts. Read non-fiction books that interest you (primal for the eating healthy and starting strength for lifting), then apply the ideas they give. And yes, avoid serious relationships like the plague. They kill growth. Patience is a virtue.

As a teen not too older than you, here are a few things that will work to your benefit with almost any type of woman that has worked for me and many men. This applied to plates, LTRS, whatever.

Set your self some goals, short term and long term

Always know what you want

Don't be controlled by feelings; a woman doesn't want to be with/marry half a bitch, be a man.

Learn how to be a man of a woman which is ultimately a man of yourself.

Pick up some useful skills, hobbies, interests, political views, etc... It will make you look more masculine if you are well educated on many topics and have many skills like for example... Learn how to remove links in your watch, iron your own clothes(always wear ironed shirts!), learn to care for your body(hair,nails,skin,health, muscle, etc..) Learn some carpentry skills, learn how to cook, etc...

There is much more but I have to go, hopefully I'll post more soon if you'd like, thanks

Hey what's up, I'm also 16 and I can tell you from probably a couple of months of experience TRP has improved my life. I know how to deal with girls now and best of all I feel focused. I can't give much advice since I'm experiencing the same things you are. All I can say is hit the gym, not only does it make you aesthetically pleasing, but the confidence boost is unreal. Be very careful with LTRs and as soon as something goes wrong you break it off, too many chicks to be giving second chances. Also always be expanding your social circle, this will help you make more friends and get girls, but it will help you in the future( and now) with your SMV. Good luck on your RP journey!

Don't be afraid of rejection from women, it's part of the game. Learn to move on from it quickly and not take it personally.
Develop the habit of talking to every women who interests you romantically. Do not silently pine for them.
Learn to dress and groom yourself attractively.
Do not get fat. If you are fat, start working out on a daily basis and put yourself on a diet.
Always use condoms. Always flush them down the toilet after you're done. Wish I didn't have to make this point but bitches be crazy.
The most basic quality of being alpha is assertiveness. Don't be afraid to pursue your own desires.
Always be working on your game and getting experience with women. Once you internalize certain things they will help you for the rest of your life.

Here's immediate actionable advice.

1) Start lifting. Go on /r/fitness and ask for good routines for your age.

2) Read "Book of Pook"

3) Focus on school but not 100%. Work hard, play harder.

School and lifting heavy is your #1 priorty at the moment.

Don't be afraid of making mistakes. Just do what you think is best. If you make a mistake, take ownership of it and learn something from it.

Also don't be afraid to talk to people. Talk to everyone you meet, not just women, everyone.

Women come and women go, but your family, your friends, and most importantly yourself, are forever. Never compromise the latter for the former. You look like you're already on the right track, with good goals and ambitions, so that's good. Work out, work hard, meet people, meet bitches, just remember what is important. Have fun enjoy life, and just remember the less you care about pleasing women, the more women want to please you.

As an 18 year old male who is going to college in August, my best advice for my 16 year old self would be to lift weights, eat healthy, and dress well.

I started lifting and eating clean in February and I have seen dramatic improvements in only 5 months. I cannot stress enough the large amount your confidence and SMV will increase. If you start now, at age 16, lifting and eating foods conducive to building muscle, you will without a doubt have the athletic, attractive build you want to have in your late teens and early twenties.

The hard work of lifting and eating clean WILL pay off
