Why do you think the red pill emphasizes going to the gym more than getting your finances in check?

Blackhawk2479 · 2019-03-23T15:48:36+00:00

Because lifting builds confidence and confidence is required to build finances.

ngyuhnang · 2019-03-23T16:52:51+00:00

Because lifting is something concrete that you can do immediately and if you put effort, you will be able enjoy the result soon.

Telling people to get their life together to make them financially stable is vague, if you tell everyone that people would be like “how, dude?” It’s an idea and result.

VasiliyZaitzev · 2019-03-23T17:25:54+00:00

There's nothing to say you can't do both simultaneously, but getting fit is generally more straightforward.

Terdmuffin · 2019-03-23T16:17:54+00:00

Read your first sentence. That's why. TRP is about creating sexual options and being physically attractive does that.

I agree there should be more discussion about it, but like you said when it comes to attracting women a great body is more important so it's going to get mentioned more.

virtualreality25 · 2019-03-23T15:40:30+00:00

Exactly! I rather have men who got their shit together. I mean there's nothing wrong about being healthy and looking good, but I think what they are trying to say is build your confidence first, because in reality, no one will ask how much do you have on your savings account on first date

Auvergnat · 2019-03-23T20:25:47+00:00

Yeah curious, it’s almost as if TRP was about sexual strategy, not financial strategy..

Lifting is an easy to take first step and concrete, measurable results can occur fairly quickly. Most of the people starting out need to learn to set and achieve goals, and lifting is an area where that can be done. The process of setting and achieving goals carries over to many other endeavours, including finances. In most cases, becoming financially successful takes significant time, and if that was the emphasis of RP, a lot of people would quit.

I agree with you that becoming successful financially should be a key goal one should have and diligently work toward. If you haven't attained a certain measure of success, various social groups (and thus women) won't be open to you no matter how great you look. And being independent instills a great degree of confidence and life satisfaction that someone in great shape but who is poor won't ever have.

It's also difficult to make generalized recommendations about finances. How to be successful varies greatly from individual to individual. One person might be great at sales, another talented at developing software, and a third skilled at outperforming the S&P 500 in managing money. Finding the right path is up to the individual.

OrzhovPalatine · 2019-03-24T03:51:03+00:00

You can do lifting right away, finances take more time so it's not stressed early

FREECRACK6 · 2019-03-23T17:14:29+00:00

So u don't end up a beta bucks

True Red Pill philosophy recognizes that humans are essentially animals. Social animals yes, but animals first and foremost.

With that in mind, biological fitness cues like facial symmetry, height, strength, posture, along with a devil may care attitude affects a girl at the primal level.

Money (and status) are useful in the social part of the social animal aspect, but only to a certain extent. Wives and girlfriends cheat on their socially powerful and rich partners with less than savory types that appeal to their animalistic desires.

YourZenemy · 2019-03-23T20:32:24+00:00

A 6-pack gives you inner power that shines outward. A 6-figure income gives you outward power that compliments the inward.

Startlivingfornow · 2019-03-23T21:55:28+00:00

When studies were done on attraction, they found females between 20-30 were primarily attracted to looks. Wealth and game became more important when women neared the wall or were already past it.

Thotasaurus_Rex · 2019-03-23T16:23:22+00:00

A good body will accelerate your career. People hire attractive people.

flatox · 2019-03-23T16:01:21+00:00

Such smart, very red, wow.

Getting fit improves your self image, worth, respect, appreciation and how others percieve you and increase self decipline and willpower.

It is a fundament for making everything else easier. Everything.

DwightWolftail · 2019-03-23T16:36:12+00:00

Because TRP is a sub focused on sexual strategy. NOT power, NOT self improvement. It is a collection of tools for men who want to get laid.

TehJimmyy · 2019-03-23T17:08:53+00:00

Because this is not finance dumbass

AndemanMan · 2019-03-23T17:07:01+00:00

mens sana in corpore sano. Lifting improves the man both inside and out. You ARE your body.

forsaken_in_the_dark · 2019-03-23T20:18:55+00:00

I have a feeling that going to the gym is not wise if you are not strong enough to use up all opportunities at home. For example if you cannot do one push up, what's the point going to the gym?

If you can't lift your shopping bag, why would you block space in the gym? Buy some weights and lift at home until you can't feel anything when lifting home stuff.

Money saved this way put into an index fund.

edit: grammar

sexykavu · 2019-03-23T22:25:34+00:00

well there's no reason you cant do both. And getting your finances in check doesn't require a six figure salary.

FlyingSexistPig · 2019-03-24T01:14:06+00:00

You can't negotiate attraction. A guy whose fit attracts girls.

A guy who's rich might attracts girls, but it's not a guarantee.

[deleted] · 2019-03-24T01:46:14+00:00

It’s the most efficient order.

El_Serpiente_Roja · 2019-03-24T03:58:35+00:00

Lifting helps the AF side of AFBB..you dont need financial stability to get chicks

wobbleelbbow · 2019-03-23T16:37:51+00:00

Body is what everyone notices first. Money is just complementary

Thunderfin · 2019-03-23T21:15:20+00:00

? it doesn't? In what universe would that even make sense?

RPAlternate42 · 2019-03-23T22:51:29+00:00

Because you can take a hour from your day and lift.

Stop looking for excuses.

SrslyNoMayo · 2019-03-23T23:12:12+00:00

Because if the first rule was to get more money, 99% of the people here would be fucked and RP couldnt exist

teveza11 · 2019-03-24T15:10:57+00:00

Because its better when a woman likes you for YOU instead of how much money you have.
