I wish my dad would introduce me to something like this..

It's your job as a father to teach your son how to behave.

It was probably going to be easier on you if you started 18 years ago. I would feed it to him slightly watered down at first, bit by bit. You can ask him why he lets her boss him around. If she's being abusive about it, imply that you find it abusive.

At the end of the day, he's an 18 year old now and he may have already made up his mind about these things... for now. If he's truly letting her push him around, and she's a moderately attractive 18 year old girl in a coed college... she'll get bored eventually and break his heart. Protein McFootball-Captian or Frat President Guitarkeg will offer her a one night stand disguised as a chance for a relationship. Best guess: sophomore or junior year right before summer vacation. THEN would be the time to feed him the pill more aggressively by sending him articles to read, etc.

Im still in high school, and if I was in a relationship like your son, I probably wouldn't listen to my dad ranting about hypergamy and other rp stuff.

I would just sit back and wait until the relationship ends and tell him about this place. Tell him to start reading and be there if he has any other questions. If he's interested, start to tell him more and more.

Wait till the LTR is over or he is crying too much about his GF pushing him around. People in our age aren't that willing to follow their parents' advice.

Good advice. I'll spoon feed bit by bit minus any lingo. When they break-up I'll give him a proper introduction. Cheers

My step dad does spout a lot of RP truths - however, before stumbling upon TRP I was too BP to accept them all into my life and often thought he was just a misogynist.

Opening up discussion is the first step. Don't go full-throttle but discuss his situation with him and slowly start bringing him into your frame with your 'non-RP vocabulary'.

Unfortunately you can't force him to share your views but you can be an influence. If he appears receptive, start removing the veil; if he's resistant, back off for a while.

Aren't dads supposed to be teaching their kids about life? I think you should go for it. Start out by pointing some of the problems he has and which you noticed, and try pointing out where he/she went wrong. Then when it starts to ease in, tell him how you "figured it out" and show him TRP.

I wish I had a father growing up, such that he could have removed the veil of bullshit I was taught for 24 years.

I wish my dad had showed me this stuff. My dad was pretty alpha for most of his life, but my mom had me completely sold on the blue pill bullshit until I found this place. He didn't really teach me much about being a manly man, I learned a lot about money management from him though.

Lead by example. When he acts blue pill, just ask him why he did that and what he thinks the result will be. Avoid jargon.

Until the LTR breaks up. When that happens, bring him aboard toward the end of the grieving period.
