I’ve been RP for a year now (not that much) but in that time I changed my life considerably. I reduced my BF from 24% to 15% (and going lower every week), ended a dead end LTR and started picking up women, learnt about frame, made male friends, etc...

I am a devoted reader of The Rational Male, Mistery Method, Roissy’s material, No More Mr. Nice Guy, The Rules of Attraction, etc....

I watch and listen to podcasts almost daily. I constantly ask myself how TRP would handle this and that situation... you get the drill.

While all of that is good, I’ve started to develop a feeling of emptiness. I am 33 YO and divorced , and a part of me yearns coming home to watch TV with a LTR after a long day of work and relax rather than keeping myself “awake” to be in the game (spinning plates, working out, etc...).

Now, I know a part of that is probably just laziness, but another part questions whether somehow we are meant to also bond in that way.

Here’s the deal though: after swallowing TRP I haven’t been able to see women the same way. It’s not that I hate them. It’s just that it’s become too evident to me they use men as a mean to their purpose. That has paralyzed me recently and have become so aphetic that I am unable to even pretend I care about the girl am semi interested in taking to bed.

My friends tease me because with all the game knowledge I acquire (and because I lost all those pounds and have always made good money) I attract a lot of attention... yet I end up no pursuing most of those women because I simply can’t pretend I buy their shit.

So I am wondering, am I the only one that goes through this phase? Is it normal? Would it go away or should I stop consuming all that TRP material so I stop feeling like this?

Thanks -
