FINDING THE RED PILL So we've already probably been here, feeling down and shitty about failing to make any progress in regards to relationships with the opposite sex (women in my case). After wallowing for a bit, I remembered this sub, I've been lurking here for a few months. At first, my honest reaction was "Wow, these guys have gone fucking insane!". But after reading through the sidebar, and a few other TRP threads, I've started to draw parallels between TRP theory and my own 'love life'.

A LITTLE ABOUT ME So, I'm 17 years old, perhaps a bit young for the average red piller, I'm not sure but whatever, I have blonde hair, green eyes and stand at 5'10 tall. In terms of what I think I've got going for me.. well I'm pretty well off, my family are middle class but I've got a well paying weekend job, I make about 13/hour (pounds - about 22 dollars), I have just over a grand in the bank (which is good for my age), though I've done some shady stuff to get there. I don't have any problems on the aesthetics front, but I'm a bit scrawny.

In terms of my love life, I lost my v at 9, yes 9, to an older girl next door. From the ages of 9 - 11 I had 4 sexual partners, since the age of 11, nothing. I did one girl into my bed after coming back from party, but she broke down crying when she got into her bra after being guilty due to being a stauch catholic.

Why am I down? I can't close with women, for example a girl's friend tells me that she thinks I'm hot at a party. Next few weeks I try and game her, I get a mix of cold shoulder and her reciprocating my affections, but nothing of substance, I can't get 'close' to the extent when I feel chill with just saying "hey you want to get lunch sometime?", as if she was into me I wouldn't get such a fucking mix of signals, unless she is fucking with me. Another example, hit it off with a girl at a party, talk for about 2 hours over drinks, text her a few days after, try to arrange a meetup, she is 'busy', so i cut contact, she doesnt reply when she is free etc, so I'm just gonna assume she doesn't want to meet up? Am I right?

ADVICE How can TRP help me? How can I help TRP? I could do with beefing up a bit, but isn't money enough? What are the dynamics behind using money to attract girls etc? Any links for me and what do you think of my 'predicament'?.

Sorry foor wall of text, thanks a bunch for anyone who reads/replies to this. I'll be stick around TRP and reading more, contributing more and learning more, its a great sub-reddit.
