If your SMV is low, go your own way for a bit. You get horny and need a release? Jack off to porn to get your release. Chasing poon with low SMV is just a disaster waiting to happen and it sets you back, a lot. I'm all for guys "overcoming approach anxiety" and getting good at game, but I wouldn't recommend anyone practices game until they're on a solid footing in life. Game is a "a less immediate need" than making sure your mental health is good and that you're in control of your finances and have some general life direction. Without a strong sense of self as a foundation at the bottom, it's a fools errand to pursue higher levels of need like sexual satisfaction, self-satisfaction should always take priority over sexual satisfaction.

Practicing game when you're dirt poor, suffering from low self-esteem/depression/lack of confidence, don't have enough food in the fridge or whatever is retarded, you're placing a "less immediate need" higher in priority than the shit that matters. You need a good foundation to build a strong empire, if you're focusing on getting laid and getting good with women before you have any sort of stability in your life, you're lacking disposable income, your mind isn't thinking healthy/productive/positive etc then you really need to take time out to fix yourself before you start trying to go and get other people to like you. You'll find it hard to make friends, let alone get laid, if your life is a fucking state because you're a fucking state.

Make money, learn some shit, go to the gym. Too scared to go the gym because it's full of guys twenty times your size? Try to get over it. Can't get over it? Get a weight set and work out at home, use a fitness program from the internet, once you have acquired some fitness and seen some gains and got a bit of confidence you won't be so bothered about entering an actual gym. Small steps. Everyones at different stages, some low value guys have crippling social anxiety as a result of their lack of value, other guys don't find doing normal things like going out and talking to people or entering a gym and working out there a big deal, whatever, this advice is here for those who need it, it'd be pretty obnoxious to disregard common issues low value men have "because it's beta" remember most people in this sub start beta, some even omega, everyone's on a quest to become more alpha/masculine. Don't forget your roots if you're not a natural, don't scoff at the new guy if he's trying, respect that. Not just on the sub, but in real life too.

Often self-improvement means other shit has to go on hold. If you're a fat guy or an omega WoW player who aimlessly jacks off all over the hotkeys and has no direction in life, you stumbled on TRP and you message me asking me for advice on "how to incorporate TRP into your life" I would say forget bitches for about 6 months to a year and go work on yourself. You have to like yourself so other people can like you. Make sure you're in a job that doesn't have you working with people that make you want to cut your own wrists on a daily, better to lower your income and work with people you enjoy working with, rather than earn more but be stuck with thunder cunts who make you contemplate the merits of self-harming. If you have no source of income, get one. You need one. Money = freedom. More money equals more freedom.

Have direction, have projects. Focus on things. Lack of focus = failure. Myself included, I've known many people full of talent who lack the proclivity to apply themselves. You can be a brain box but if you don't feel motivated or see a point in anything then you'll just fulfill your immediate needs and end up a failure rather than build yourself into a success. Fear is relevant, fear of the unknown. Something 50 Cent says is "Those who are afraid of change stop themselves from becoming great" it's true. Potential can be wasted. Don't waste your life away. The younger you are the better, but fuck even if you're 40 - better to turn around now than turn around at 50. Once you hit 50 you only would have said "shit I've known this since 40, I should have done something then" and then compounded your own sense of frustration even further. Control the time you have left and make it valuable.

Remember, nobody gives a fuck about you except your parents (assuming your parents aren't cunts too or you're not so old that they've gone and died.) Most of your friends are more associates than they are friends, they won't give much of a fuck about you they're so busy doing their own shit the only time they think about you is when they want you for something that benefits them - need company to go drinking or some crap like that.

You're practically invisible to girls if you have low SMV so don't even bother. Don't resent them, you don't like low smv girls yourself, just become better to become noticeable. You don't even like yourself. Go give yourself a reason to like yourself. Try to do at least TWO THINGS everyday that make you a better person. Jog, read an interesting book, earn some money. Learn to be funny, surround yourself with funny people. I make it a habit to talk to people with wit/sense of humour, I watch a lot of stand up comedy. Comedy is important to me, comedy is medicine. Comedy can stop a man in pain turning insane, watch that shit. Not taking serious things seriously is a great coping mechanism for dealing with the bullshit life throws at you. Keep your mind healthy by working on yourself, use comedy as a painkiller to assist in that if you need to.

I believe a lot of guys who are really bottom of the barrel whether they're flat out undesirable or just ridiculously poor (and thus need to get money on lockdown) need to take a serious hiatus from the sexual/social game and just focus on improving their situation, their money, their inner game/sense of self. It's like sports, sometimes a player has gotta go on the bench when he's too worn out or injured. Get on the bench and fix yourself and then you can fight to live another day.

Keep at it, you can make it.
