Playing with dynamite… again?

The PUA community has several examples of after the game disasters. The way I see it, is it's because guys figured out the cheat code and realized there was a man behind the curtain and they had no tools to deal with the harsh reality of long term interactions with the women they gamed.

This is why you should have a mission that is independent of women. Something that you can devote your energy to and master. Maybe even never master, but dedicate your life towards. I think the PUAs mission was getting laid, and once it was easily achieved, they forgot to move onto another mission.

You tell your wife about that raise yet? Did she give you permission to touch the dynamite?

Guyz, but muh (our) dynamite, right?

Don't lump me in with you dipshits who used red pill precursors to pursue blue pill dreams. Save that shit for RSD reunions and Tucker Maxx's (future) divorce party.

What the fuck is your question or point exactly? Are we playing with dynamite? Yes we fucking are. We are men. We love shit that goes boom. But we handle it responsibly so we can see more shit go boom.

Dynamite? Maybe. But the act of living is playing with dynamite.

PUA is focused on pussy and body counts.

MRP is focused on being a better man and not making pussy your mission.

Then being a better man will detemine HOW you react when the dynamite goes bang.

This is a great question, OP.

MRP is still a sexual strategy, so the focus on developing men is not what sets it apart. What sets MRP apart for me is the focus on CONGRUENCE. Not only in appearance (PUA and to an extent TRP), but actually building an authentic man from the inside out, silently doing the thankless work and strangling your ego at the door. No shortcuts, so soft place to land: and only the smart ones realize this is the secret handshake to the boys club. At some point, MRP stops being "just" an excellent self-help strategy. It becomes a catalyst to becoming congruent with the man you were meant to be.

Can't tell if humblebrag or "hey guys i fucked up once, do you think i'll fuck up again, I just can't help but wonder, woe is life, but I won't give up, now validate me my online band of brothers".

Interesting post, thanks for sharing.

I think a lot of the men on MRP are codependent or at least they were in their BP phase. I think MRP is in many cases equipping codependent men with non codependent behaviours but not identifying the root cause, ie codependency. I think that in a lot of cases men are going to need treatment for codependency to fully become all the man they can be. MRP gives them the behaviours to get their lives in order and as long as they keep marching to that drum they'll be OK. But without learning about their codependency, they risk falling back to their own ways if they lose touch with the group.

I also think that MRP gives men ~~tools~~ objectives to take their lives beyond just being non BP, non codependent. It talks about congruence, life goals, independence, etc. Which is great. But to implement actually requires more discussion of business skills,careers, etc., which doesn't really happen on MRP. But it is great that the objectives are mentioned and discussed.

So for me, MRP is a really good place to watch others struggle with their relationships and that keeps me centred in that regard. And MRP has some really good ancillary discussions about being a man. But MRP is by no means my whole development plan.

I think MRP does create kids playing with dynamite. It builds men with SMV and independence and teaches them to set goals and build a good life. But without directly addressing their codependent roots, many men here are bound to repeat their behaviours, this time with a bigger stick.

I'll blow up my life and start over again. This would be time number 3, and each iteration is better than the last.

Yes we are playing with dynamite. Yes we are close cousins to the pua community. However, he similar responses and hazing is a guy thing not a pua thing.

PUA has come a long way in the last 10 years. Go check it out. No more "where's the pet store at?" No more canned routines. There's a lot more focus on inner game, and the theoretical frameworks are much better fleshed out.

Both PUA today and MRP are much more focused on becoming a better you than "cheat codes" to get to an endpoint.
