Hey guys

I've recently read the stickied thread at TRP and while I do agree with its general tone, I've found it really hard to apply in high productivity/competition/arrogance places

I'm a med student and most people who study with me are egocentric assholes who all used to be the little star in their own environments

What is to be done if the huge majority of men near you are emasculated degenerates? It's actually really hard to build a tribe to create group value when most men can't be trusted to show any loyalty beyond what you can offer (which by itself is a feminine trait).

I personally lived through this: I used to be a shy sperg in my beta days and a guy I used to consider a good friend (mostly because we shared shyness and a common interest in games) simply ditched me to hang out with a group with better value/pre- selection when I went through some hard times and got depressed in med school. My SMV was the lowest at the time and he completely forgot about me

Since then I've discovered TRP and raised my SMV so much it actually disgusts me to see people to whom I was almost invisible in my shit days try and incorporate me into groups/leech from me

This may even be seen as an individual and very specific scenario, but many (if not most) guys are so shallow, effeminate and untrustworthy it actually bothers me to try and create a group with them

Thoughts?
