I don't agree with everything on TRP (especially the notion that all women are whores

If you actually read the sidebar, you'll understand that such a thing isn't mentioned anywhere in it. AWALT doesn't mean what you think it means. So read the sidebar.

Should he look to these things for happiness, or is happiness more so an inner state of mind?

Do not rely on anything external for your own happiness.

Happiness is a state of mind, fulfillment. If you are dependent on someone else for your own happiness, automatically you're suffering from codependency. This is where all the shit in your life start. Don't put someone else on the drivers seat in your own car.

Never make women your mission, they'll resent you for that, and you'll be miserable.

"A happy man is a happy relationship, a happy woman is a miserable man." - Patrice O'Neal

Or as Rollo puts it, make yourself the mental point of origin.

I dont care to share the broad concept of trp. It is in the sidebar.

Let me share that I myself do not strive for happiness but effective control of myself and my world. I strive to solve all problems around me and not be a problem for those around me.

I fix people or I fail to fix them and cut them out of my world. There is little room for selfishness or weak slave minded narrow thinking around me.

I believe women are incredible pieces of moving breathing art that as a man, is my responsibility to awaken to passions and wild hungers which they imagine they cannot themselves manifest.

Happiness is a byproduct of my own mastery of all mechanical and physical things. I work on my shortcomings and finances daily.

Life is a battle against the vices I have come to know and the inborn stubbornness that holds me back from becoming an even stronger and better member of my community.

Learn to follow, then learn to teach, then learn to lead in all things. Never stop reading, never stop learning. Always save and invest a portion of your earnings between 10 and 20 percent.

You ask complicated questions.

You have one life. Only one. It is yours to do with whatever you want. I suggest you make sure you enjoy your life. Enjoy it to the fullest. Focusing on yourself is what your life is about. It is your life after all. Nobody else can live it.

Focus on your health by lifting and other sports. On being wise by reading books made out of paper. On being social with other human beings. On having relationships with girls. On being independent and able to take care of yourself.

Should he look to these things for happiness, or is happiness more so an inner state of mind?

Happiness is an inner state of mind. But is is much harder to be happy if your basic needs as a human being are not met.

You cannot be happy if you cannot breath. You die within a few minutes. The same is true for bad health. Or for not having sexual relations.

By focusing on improving your life. Including your sex life. You become, hopefully, more happy. Once happy you will be making other people happy. Then everybody is happy. More or less.
