Are you a romantic?

Dude, you need to hone in your questions.

Yes, I identify as being romantic. It's part of who we (men) are and how we "woo" women. But don't confuse that for being a doormat.

In fact, it's a popular opinion here that men are the true romantics, not women. I'm sure if you did some digging you could find something on it.

Also, you'll find a very broad opinion on this throughout TRP. I'd encourage you to figure out what works for you and constantly be exploring yourself. A lot of what's on this sub may not mesh with your ideals and that's ok.

TRP is about respecting yourself and leading your life accordingly. It has nothing to do with being romantic or not.

So, if your romantic action is caused by internal insecurity - or fear of losing the object of your affection, then you need to stop what you're doing and reconsider.

In the same vein, if you think you show vulnerability by doing something romantic, then you need to stop right there.

A romantic action is akin to doing something nice for a friend. You do it because you want to, because you like that person.

And like doing things for friends, if you do something nice for them all the time, then it gets weird (and/or you become a doormat). So do romantic things sparingly. And if they don't appreciate you doing nice things, then maybe you should not waste your time for them. Or get different friends/lovers.

Esenin, a Russian poet, was a good example of a red pill romantic. Some of his poems had a lot of direct language, uncovering TRP truths, some were caring and emotional, focusing on nature.

Absolutely. My girl gets Harry Potter and Disney tat bought for her on a whim. I cook double portions when I'm expecting her. I actually buy wine.

It's being nice to the person who sucks your cock.

No, I'm more of a Baroque enthusiast.

Write in a private journal and share it with your dog.

Alternatively, write music and woo girls with your creative soft side

I sold mine for a 5k Chrysoberyl crystal.

Being romantic and vulnerable is not the same as being a needy doormat.

When you can express your desire for a woman while being indifferent to the possibility of rejection it portrays higher social standing while making your intentions clear and giving her the opening to reciprocate. Read models for insight on how to be like this without being a needy faggot

Like everyone else said your question is vague but a few folks gave you some examples of how to be romantic without being blue pill.

As far as your poetry thing, all I can say is you've got to check out Charles Bukowski if you want something akin to red pill poetry.

Bukowski is very famous for his poetry and was known for being a poet who wrote raw and unsensored poetry, much of his writings were involving the topic of women.

Just so you know, Bukowski himself was not exactly Red Pill, and he often had poor luck with women, and he was also a raging alcoholic which the red pill advises against [substance abuse], BUT, he was pretty alpha in the way that he did not give a flying fuck about his behavior, anything he said, his actions, he did whatever he wanted 24/7, and he wrote for many years persistently before becoming famous.

He is mostly known for his bewildering personality and demeanor, his alcoholism, and his poetry. He was also rather successful with women after he became famous, and was also remembered as a bit of a misogynist. While women did sometimes leave him for other men, he took no shit from anybody, ever, and his poetry and stories are hilarious.

I recommend you watch the documentary "Born into this", just search that on YouTube and watch it, before you check out his poetry.
