Nerdy hobbies?

Your last sentence sums it up: "No women is going to get wet and excited from the guy who has a level 18 paladin in a D&D group."

But everything isn't about women. What you have to do is not let your nerdy hobbies define your life. RPG's, trading card games, and especially video games are harmless diversions, but they do nothing to improve your SMV. The don't make you a better man, employee, boss, husband, or father.

And if you spend all of your time on them, you aren't improving other things.

You can maintain an interest in those amusements as you continue your red pill journey, but they need to become less emotionally important to you and you need to derive your satisfaction and sense of accomplishment from other parts of your life.

I have the same question. However, thinking about it brings out the anger phase in me. It is suppose to be so that we have something to talk about but it is depressing talking to women about their hobbies.

hiking - can't read a map or use a compass. Maybe has the ability to read painted trail markers and gets scared if we don't follow them
music - knows nothing about music, just listens to it
travelling - goes on cruises and never ventures out of tourist areas. Loves shopping at the outlet with the same items made in China
gardening - planted a flower once on their window sill, doesn't know what the difference between perennials or annuals. Glossed over look when you talk about vegetable gardening
watching sports - have been taken to games by their boyfriends and don't know the basic rules of the sport they claim to love
reading - romance novels
scifi - watched the hunger games
game of thrones - has no idea what is going on

If they know nothing about their stated hobbies what do women really do with their time?

The biggest 'alpha' I've ever met turned out to be a huge D&D enthusiast, and he collects all these random fantasy novels from the 90s. Ultimately I guess this does harm his smv but because of all his other alpha traits his fantasy nerdiness is irrelevant.

Imagine you've got a top 0.00001% man, a bodybuilder male-model billionaire who also volunteers at orphanages. If he happens to spend a few hours a week playing D&D with some fat friends do you think anybody would give a fuck?

If you're smv is high enough and your frame is strong enough, you can torture kittens as a hobby and get all the women you want.

The other day I met the hottest nerd girl.

She came over wearing a Game of Thrones t-shirt she had cut up the side to reveal her breasts, a Batman bracelet, tiny shorts and knee-high socks. She had no idea how hot she was, because she saw herself as "too nerdy".

She showed me pictures of her recent cosplay, and it's RIDICULOUS. I mean, dress up like Harley Quinn and spank me PLEASE, babe.

Nerdy is not always unsexy.

Don't pick your hobbies based on what women like.

Women aren't your mission. You are your mission.

There are some things you need to have in your life for self-improvement. You must lift. You must have a skill that makes money. You must have some masculine hobbies that teach you skills like fighting, or repairing stuff, or creating things. But beyond that, do what the fuck you want. The goal here is not to become some sort of automaton who only does things that are rewarded with pussy.

Pussy is a commodity, like fresh fruit. Also like fruit, it isn't very rare or very interesting. A certain amount of it is healthy in your diet, but once you have enough of it, at high enough quality, to satisfy you, why on earth would you stop doing something you like just because you might miss a chance at some fruit?

No women is going to get wet and excited from the guy who has a level 18 paladin in a D&D group yet the guy who travels can go 100mph+ on his crotch rocket makes girls weak around him

Be both.

I fight Mexican boxers at a ghetto gym, and I play video games. I practice Brazillian Jiujutsu and I play in an RPG run by /u/humansockpuppet. (And what a glorious cutthroat jungle of Machiavellianism the plot of that is...) The point of the red pill isn't for you to find new ways to help you kick yourself. It isn't here to help you exchange "women ruling your life with their demands" for "women ruling your life with their sexual tastes".

Pussy is like sleep. The more you chase it, the more it recedes from you. The more you set up the right conditions and stop giving a fuck, the more it comes and finds you. You don't become a real man by slaying pussy. You become a real man, and pussy slaying happens as a side effect.

Never be ruled by fear. Not fear of violence, not fear of loneliness, not fear of failure, not fear of embarrassment, not fear of women's disapproval.

If a woman gives you shit, laugh at her. It's a shit test. Agree and amplify. Deflect into another frame. Say something clever. Or just fucking next her. The world is full of women, and they all have cunts.

Moderation. Balance it out with other hobbies and things that will raise your SMV. You cannot focus on that one hobby to such an extent that you literally are one of THOSE guys. You know what I'm talking about: The basement of a comic store sounds like an elementary recess where a few unkempt kids spend all day playing games, eating cheesy poofs, and forgetting to shower or use deodorant. You get the picture right?

D&D is a social hobby you need friends for. No bad.

Remember: TRP is about doing your thing, not what others want. If you stop doing something you love because of a woman, you're turning yourself into a beta.

I have been playing Magic since Unlimited. Zero Fucks for what other people think about it. It is a constantly evolving competitive puzzle game with a lot of math involved, and that is why I play it still.

I am also a huge Batman collector.

People will tell you that if you want to be successful, you need to hang out with successful people. The same goes for your social life. I loved those games until I started looking that the crowd of people it put me around. For the most part they were all men, all fat, all socially awkward, all had jobs but not powerful and successful careers. So when I looked at that surrounding I thought to myself, how does this make me a beetter person? Are these people influencing me to succeed socially, physically and in my career? I decided they did not, so I had to take my old nerd hobby which i really liked, and simply retire from it and pursue new avenues of fun. Now I hang out with a musician, we work on a radio show, I own my own company and stick to hanging out with other business owners. I have exalted myself above the mundane wash of failures in life. I am slowly seeing the results in my career and attitude. I would say pursue it how you FEEL it should be pursued, but in reality if you are around do nothings in life, you will become one too. So if you keep your hobby, keep the time you play to a minimum like a poker night.

My advice is to incorporate the things you love, like D&D, Magic, etc into your life, but limit them. I would say the same to anyone playing video games too. Hell, I'd even go as far as saying if women are a predominant force in your life, you should contain that also.

Typical SMV building hobbies such as lifting, hiking, traveling, concerts, art shows, blah blah, on and on, are just the way to improve your SMV. It's just the nature of the beast and the rules of the game. You can't change that.
