| 4 | Does a sex abundant lifestyle, being a player an alpha male actually lead to happiness?Don't overthink it. Don't care what studies show about some generalized trend of cooperation vs competition. Get to that lifestyle. You, OP. Get there and find out. Don't wonder. Lift, improve your career skills, get to the playboy abundance lifestyle. If it turns out to be filled with misery, report back to us to warn us, and then refocus on cooperation, love, belonging, whatever you think might be a better solution. I have a sneaking suspicion once you get there, you won't wonder about those "… | /r/TheRedPill | 18/06/17 04:08 AM |
| 9 | askTRP Megathread May 24Girls don't want you to offer solutions. They want you to "empathize" and just "hear" them and "feel" what they're feeling. Irrational, I know. Your brain is wired to find practical solutions. So what you can do is to ask questions, to draw out the root cause. Then you disguise your suggestions as questions. "Oh, so Becky made a nasty comment about you in the office? What comment? Has she ever badmouthed her boss? Is she always doing a great job on her work compared to you?

| 4 | Foundationscan you elaborate on your journey in figuring out what you really want, long-term? It's something I still struggle with, despite the immense amount of time I have spent consciously thinking about it Years ago, I had some rough ideas about what I wanted, and kept it in my subconscious. Certain loose impressions about lifestyles I think I might enjoy, and ones I wouldn't. I started to really think about what a "day in the life of" would look like ideally.

| 5 | FoundationsImo, damn near any hobby/skill improvement is better time spent than reading books. Difference of opinions. And probably difference of what your career requires. At the highest levels of many careers, it's critical you stay up to date on the latest thoughts and trends, whether or not you agree with them. If it takes away from skills like coding, sure, I can see it being useless.

There is still a lot of debate about this, but in general the vitamins you get from a multivitamin are rarely absorbed properly.

| 13 | FoundationsGood points on the specifics. Regarding sleep, good additions. I personally consume ZMA before bed. Also one addition to add: for those who are on their laptops before bed, the program "f.lux" decreases the amount of blue light coming from your screen after sunset since modern technology can fuck with our circadian rhythms when our eyes detect bright blue light. | /r/TheRedPill | 04/02/17 11:00 PM |
| 2 | The Red Pill RightAre you going to link to it in the sidebar under "Red Pill Subreddits"? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's invaluable that you seem to have described it as TRP endorsing a specific way of viewing and analyzing politics pragmatically (" to discuss politics from a red pill standpoint"), rather than a rigid political dogma based only on the existing parties. | /r/TheRedPill | 03/02/17 09:31 PM |

| 20 | Money Will Make You HappyMany of my blue-pill friends use excuses like "to make more money would require more stress". Bullshit. Maybe for some types of jobs, but most high-performing jobs are going to be stressful to some degree if you're pushing yourself and giving something your all.

| 9 | The Red Pill is Destructive towards IdealismMaybe it is semantics, but "hope" to me is different from rational optimism. "Hope" and "motivation" are a bit idealist for me. Essentially "wishful thinking". You might be saying the same thing, and this could just be a semantic argument. http://www.wisdomination.com/screw-motivation-what-you-need-is-discipline/ The idea of discipline leading to external success is a better path towards achieving your goals.

I think what holds most people back is their own egos. You know when the girl is annoyed or creeped out by you. You know deep down when your presentation at the office didn't go well.

The best way I know of to address this, is not to get rid of the blue pill ideals, but rather replace them with red pill ideals. Basically it's a simple visualization exercise where you start filling in details about your idealized life. Write it down and look over it once a week, and fill in more details.

| 7 | What To Learn And How To Learn ItThanks for the thoughts. Will do. I've taken a break from blogging for a while; trying to spend my time gaining some more concrete power and influence in reality, and testing out some philosophical theories. Because all this is just mental masturbation if you don't use philosophy to make concrete changes to your daily life outside of the internet. And I don't feel comfortable sharing half-baked theories on power with the world. That is, until I test them out, and see if they can actual gain me c… | /r/TheRedPill | 15/10/16 06:43 PM |
| 56 | What To Learn And How To Learn ItI cannot overstate the tremendous value I've extracted from knowledge in terms of actual power, influence, and direct financial results in my life. Nonetheless, irrespective of the time it takes a man to read a particularly lengthy and intricate book, it would take him even longer to live the things the writer did in order to form a conclusion of equal authority. Anyone who has read a biography on a powerful man from history can attest to that. For example, to absorb the mindsets of the early Ro… | /r/TheRedPill | 14/10/16 05:38 PM |

And I realized one day that I truly didn't get it. I was still in that faux pickup artist mentality.

| 4 | Narcissism and self-esteem cannot co-existI think it's important to have a metric to evaluate how your life is going. Metrics give us the ability to improve. So if I tied my identity to nothing, and had less external pressure to be optimal, and just worked on fulfilling my own needs, perhaps I'd be more at peace. But by every day wondering if my sense of identity, based on how my spent my time, is really what I want it to be, it pushes me to improve.

I have struggled with this myself many times, and even now I'm not sure I've completely overcome it, due to my desire to be perfect. As of now, here are some thoughts which have helped me deal with this: Perfection is an illusion. Improvement is the path towards perfection.

| 12 | Narcissism and self-esteem cannot co-existHappy to help. Consistent meditation showed me my true motivations and underlying mental patterns. That, combined with cold rationality (read The Good Psychopath's Guide to Success to help with that mentality) is what led me to this conclusion. So you'd probably have reached it on your own in a few months if you continue meditating, but I'm happy to inject my insights into your mental practice to help spurt others along. | /r/TheRedPill | 01/08/16 07:15 PM |

They are well thought out, bring in new information for personal betterment that many people don't have, such as the factoids about narcissism. I have two points. 1) On Consumerism: Firstly, I want to make the subtle distinction that wanting material possessions to be better than other people is narcissism.

So it's like "I may not be better than you yet but I'm going to read and learn and develop skills so I become better than you" and watch what happens to your career.

Embrace the fact that life is going to be more challenging. You get obstacles in life that you must overcome. Every challenge is an opportunity to improve.

As you start filling in details, your subconscious will guide you by making you realize which details can't come true, and the details which you do believe (e.g. visualizing the family having dinner together), what would have to be in place for that to come true.

It's quite simple: A day after I have sex, I reward myself with masturbation. What's nice about this method ensures that I only get sexual release by working hard on myself to have sex. It incentivizes me to approach.

However, a challenging mission I feel is necessary for all men to avoid devolving into complacency. It's the challenge itself us men need to maintain our sanity.

| 1 | Comfort vs Next Level: check if my mind is rightWhat are your goals? For me, my goals have to do with the challenge itself. The way a gladiator finds no greater joy than in competing. I find great joy in constantly challenging myself. And competing in my career.

| 3 | Another 54 Machiavellian Maxims for your reading pleasure.This applies more to other men who would waste your time. If you think spending your precious time with a worthless man isn't valuable, it's really going to take a good amount of time to get rid of him, compared to him not wanting to waste his time on you. You have to take these maxims not necessarily with a grain of salt, but rather with context. Think of a girl with a beta orbiter.

| 1 | The biggest misconception about TRP that I see on here is that it's aggressive rather than defensive.I'd put the onus on the woman to decide if she is willing to conform to that mold if she chooses to change. My mold is pretty loose in some areas but rigid in others. How is having a rigid mold in some aspects different from healthy boundaries (some nonnegotiables)?

| 1 | Your Body Is A Physical Manifestation of your ValuesLol your body is a product of your genes along with decades of the average calories input, the average micro/macroneutrients, the cumulative amount of exercise and strain you've put on your muscles. Nothing else. So you may have inherited a facial structure through the way your bones in your face are situated, but you didn't inherit a body.

| 1 | Your Body Is A Physical Manifestation of your ValuesYou can MAYBE make assumptions about someone's personal habits based off of their body, but it is incredibly unreliable. This is a good point, and perhaps a better way to put it would be as follows: Not everybody with a good body is dedicated, but those who are dedicated with their fitness will have good bodies. Not everybody with a weak body is lazy, but those who are lazy with their fitness will have weak bodies.

| 9 | The core concepts of "dread game," "negging," "holding frame," and "spinning plates" are not inherently manipulative and shitty; it's the intentions behind /r/TRP suggesting these that are the problem.Eh I think that when writing about it, that scares people because it means it's not "natural" and girls tend to want guys to "just get it" (in trp terms, they want natural alphas with good genetics, not learned skills).

If he is potentially facing jail time and loses frame so quickly will he ever get the million dollar house with the hottest, kindest, loyal, top quality girls? Will he have enough money in the bank to get whatever he wants in life and take what he doesn't immediately get? Sure he can win a bar fight, but that's far from being powerful in this day and age.… | /r/TheRedPill | 11/12/14 03:03 AM |

| 3 | Reality Check - Dark Triad and Monk ModeWhat I've found is that for the first few minutes of meditation, your mind is overflowing with whatever was going on in your day. As you concentrate longer, those thoughts get dismissed and random thoughts about your life start popping up.

| 0 | JohnnyI think it's because the nerdy STEM type of kids are more inclined to seek out reddit. And are also on their computers for a more significant portion of their lives than their non-STEM counterparts, so reddit is an easy distraction. That's why these stories about STEM rags to riches resonate more with the reddit userbase than the general population. | /r/TheRedPill | 20/09/14 04:13 PM |

| 2 | For Red Pillers on the PPD: What do you think of the concept of emotional intelligence?The biggest step forward TRP could make is teaching people to express emotion as emotion, and not to intellectualize their feelings. Being angry at women is fine. But personal growth comes from understanding where that emotion comes from, and dealing with it head on. Ruminating and intellectualizing just represses emotion even more. Your first point in terms of mindfulness is spot on, but I'd have to disagree with you on this point. The point of self awareness is to understand logically why you … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/09/14 02:22 PM |
| 1 | Reminder: Thrive Don't WhineDo you think people can change in that sense? I'm not very knowledgeable in psychology, but the concept of "Locus of control" seems to be related. The idea of locus of control relates to the one's belief regarding the degree to which one controls his own life. So yeah I suppose it could be related, if you believe that you can truly control your own destiny and life (a belief to which I subscribe).

Sure you are certainly allowed to talk more brashly anywhere you so damn well please, but here it encourages more conversation when you present things from an objective perspective.

There are two questions here. Self Awareness Firstly, regarding myself. I hold self-awareness in extremely high esteem.

The real question you should be asking is "is the content incorrect" not "did he say it hatefully". That man would probably never respect a woman enough to marry, for example, and he may hate them (although I doubt he actually hates them). But so what? Who cares if it's misogyny or not?

| 2 | Tall, Dark and Handsome? How about Petite, Blonde and Hot?I think this brings up a deeper point of contention on this sub, which is whether to apply general trends or look for more specifics.

The age-old question on PPD about the bell curve and how much weight we should give to outliers versus the average, and how many outliers are there truly.

You shouldn't necessarily care, but you can also try to see if there are general trends with people.

For example, if somebody is nice to you because they want something from you (whether consciously or not, dark triad or just a social animal), does it matter? My initial gut reaction is that it only matters in that it may help predict their future behavior.

| 17 | How much stock do you put in red pill field reports?Only the posters know if they are true. I know mine are true but won't post proof for fear of doxxing. I actually don't put much stock in others'. I try out what I want and don't actually care if it works for others. With all these "tactics" there are a lot of subtleties such as tone of voice, facial expressions, etc. which means the same actions performed by two different people can have vastly different results.

| 3 | RPW: What is the benefit of marriage to a high earning male?Well firstly I appreciate your other response. But seriously, I'm not looking for a salespitch. I don't want any of you to have to justify your own marriages. I want to know objectively what would be some benefits that I may or may not have, from others who are more experienced than me in marriage, and from those who share my views on relationships.

| 1 | Red Pill Men: Male Version of FeministsBut what is rational about pursuing sex without love, attachment and mutual respect and romance? Rational? You're assuming that "love, attachment, romance" are the goals. For some people sex is the goal. For some people those are bonuses, not the end-all. What is even good with having sex with people you secretly despise and disrespect? I don't have sex with women are identify as feminist.

TRP is a reaction to feminism, but I have no desire to challenge them. I'll thrive in whatever world I live in. Feminism destroyed marriage but brought a wave of sexually free young 20 year olds, so I don't mind it right now. And the more experienced ones don't loathe it, we simply act a certain way to counteract them. The goal is to act rationally given the world as it is. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/04/14 03:44 AM |

| 5 | Why do women take general statements as personal attacks? [Serious]I think part of it is that people are deeply insecure in general. People are looking at everything through their lense of insecurity. People's insecurities are constantly triggered. They don't actually believe you are talking about them specifically. Rather when they attack you they are saying it mostly for their own benefit. They have cognitive dissonance going on.

Okay so on that note, it may be that they are attracted to top men because of their genetic potential (whether or not they actually consciously want kids). This genetic potential is useful for both offspring as well as protection.

| 2 | Producer and Looter tendencies of the RedpillWhen I first heard the term red pill used (before I found the subreddit) to me it was about not saying "Sure!" to the set path and cause-effect relationships in this world that we are taught to expect from our lives. When I found the /r/theredpill subreddit I realized it was specifically about the path and cause-effect relationships interacting with females. But for me it's always been about saying fuck-you to society's lies, comforts, and controls, and seeing the cause-effect relationships in E… | /r/AlreadyRed | 07/04/14 09:42 PM |
| 8 | Question for TRPers, if you were a woman how would you behave? Would you strive to be an independent individual or would you settle for being a supporting role in some man's life as your main purpose?I have no problem with females not wanting to submit to someone else's will. If girls want to be completely independent, I don't care. But that's also the reason I'm single. I doubt I'd get the level of commitment and dedication and loyalty I want from somebody in a relationship. I'm reacting rationally to what I see is a turning tide in people's sexual freedom. It doesn't make me upset though. So I harbor no ill will towards a female who wants to focus on themselves and not dare-i-say submit th… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/04/14 09:32 PM |

I don't know if a idea with the word "sometimes" in it can be considered an underlying assumption.

While they might care a bit about you not spending time with them on poker night, it's more that you aren't under her thumb for those few hours.

Because it is a defect position within the social contractI have not noticed a lot of hate in real life over my success with women, or in any other domain either. Occasionally you get someone who resents your success out of jealousy, but they are easily dealt with and/or ignored. Some of it is jealousy. But a lot of it is the fact that if you are more successful than them, they'd have to start questioning their own choices and actions.

| 3 | Why put on an act when you could just be yourself?It's not constructive advice to tell someone to just "be yourself!" when you have a general population that may not know how to dress or communicate to advantage. I agree. Be yourself as a platitude told to someone which implies "don't engage in self improvement". Just be yourself is crappy advice in my opinion because it promotes apathy, and most people have a significant amount about themselves they can improve upon.

| 5 | Suggestion: Going further?why does it need an analogy? Since the word choice is a defining part of /r/TheRedPill You can ask why we use symbolic things such as analogies to represent broader concepts with a lot of nuance, but it happens all the time. You're asking a complicated question about language that extends beyond TRP. The more it's used, the less an analogy needs to be explained. But all analogies start somewhere. And at the beginning they need more explanation. is it an attempt to be edgy? Perhaps, it probably f… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/02/14 02:47 AM |
| 3 | Suggestion: Going further?I don't know I thought it was actually pretty funny when I found trp that they called it spinning plates. I was initially confused. I think it may be an attempt to take the analogy further. Spinning plates requires balance and can be fragile. You can't spin too many plates at once.

In my experience as you go through the process of learning about women, the difficulty of maintaining frame is directly proportional to how well you've known them, since they've seen you undergoing a change.

I think this response is a bit of a cop-out. Let's say red-pill mentality advocates suppositions a,b,c,d,e,f. You think a and b consist of good, solid advice.

I think a lot of it comes from us originally wanting the world and our female partners to be another way. It's frustrating, which leads to the "outrage". The "surprise" is usually about specific girls we didn't think were as slutty as they sometimes turn out to be. However, and many of us need reminding of this frequently, TRP is about trying to be most effective … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/02/14 10:00 PM |
| 10 | RedPillers - What do you think of the feminist concept of "enthusiastic/active consent"?This seems like bait but I'll answer. No means no. Silence doesn't mean no when you're not asking anything. A safe word is useful but scares me since it invalidates "No means no" and idk how courts feel about them. If both parties are drunk it is not a man a presumed rapist. Funny when girls say one thing and want another it actually hinders legitimate rape claims. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/02/14 05:32 AM |

Think your nice guy attitude is enough?As much of a loser as you all think this guy is, this should serve as an example of what women are really looking for. They like projects. They like guys that are the rough around the edges that they believe they are capable of sculpting (but we all know they can't).

If TRP is 'the wrong' way to think TBP, what is your solution?Personally, I'm not really concerned with whether TRP "works" or not. And if it does work, that doesn't mean all or even most of the sub-theories of TRP have any truth. Maybe it's just my scientifically-oriented mind, but when a man comes to me and says that a theory/model seems to describe what he sees in real life, and thus every aspect of that theory or model is accurate, I spit coffee on my keyboard.

| 1 | What does your side get wrong?I'm a little confused by the first part, but I think we could just leave it at "don't moralize about sexual strategy." I was just saying it evolved amorally. Men with those strategies were simply selected for in evolution. A quick personal note - I have a philosophy degree with a concentration in moral philosophy and it never fails to amaze me how offended BPers or white knights get about something like negging. A quick personal question: How do you define "moral"? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/01/14 12:25 AM |
| 1 | What does your side get wrong?Do you think it would it be different to you if it was phrased such that the idea that it successfully leads to sex evolved amorally (simply to promote our species), and we can see other immoral (or moral) side-effects from such a strategy? Or is that just an excuse and saying the same thing as "sexual strategy is amoral" phrased in a roundabout way? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/01/14 11:59 PM |

| 5 | Women don't understand the Seriousness of Violence.I was thinking about it, and I realize that our dominant attitudes bring out girls' desire to be dominated. It's a double edged sword. You think a dweeb, if he somehow miraculously got in bed with her, would bring out these deep suppressed desires in her? It had to do with the dominance you exuded to get her in the first place. Doesn't change anything you've said. But the fact that you can elicit her animal instinct has a consequence I suppose. | /r/TheRedPill | 29/01/14 03:36 AM |

The Art of Seduction (while not really a red-pill like strategy, it's a great book examining seduction), and The 50th Law was an extension to 48 LoP. His book on war doesn't really fit here.

| 12 | Are women objects?Now that you've edited your OP, I'm happy to answer it. If you are dating a girl and she says that, the reason it is a shit test is because she is essentially asking you to validate her. She is screaming "when I ask you to, please tell me that I am worthy!" When you do and reward that behavior, you are saying "oh you are so special and I will tell you that whenever you want on a whim!" If she does actually have a lot of values and is secure, she should know she has more value and this wouldn't e… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/01/14 08:21 PM |

| 2 | What does TRP want from women?This doesn't make sense to me because, if you can tell if a woman needs validations and lack inner focus on self-esteem, why not make that the qualification? Why discount people who simply have traits that you associate with those things if you are able to see the things themselves. If I can see those traits directly, then sure. But how do you detect those traits initially?

She left and I haven't heard from her or seen her since.Yeah I realise I sound cynical or bitter or whatever but that's where the logic points. If you ever fall in love enjoy it while it lasts. Do you think it's possible to be completely emotionally invested while things are going well (i.e. feel "in love"), and be able to immediately move on once things fall apart? That seems to be a good way to go about things so that you can experience the "feel good" feelings without being dependent on them. | /r/TheRedPill | 27/01/14 03:37 AM |

I hope I don't need to add the politically correct disclaimer that not everybody is like that, but it's something I've noticed in general and would take into consideration when considering beginning a LTR.

But I would not have hurt feelings about it, I would just see if I could learn anything from it. If not I would just ignore it. I don't see how it could be harmful to me.

If you are referring to leaving your partner for somebody who is "better" for you ("trading up"), then this applies to everybody. It depends on what you value.

So, it's the alpha character being rejected instead of you and not because you are not desirable, which would hurt, but because you chose the wrong frame. So, you don't feel bad and want to go home.

She was simply achieving her goals at the time. But those actions have real-life consequences. As a man, I simply would not want to have a LTR with a girl with a high partner count.

If what you want is to sleep with a lot of narcissistic shallow women, then that strategy likely may work for you. Are you assuming TRP does not work for non-narcissistic, deep, intellectual, women?

It comes a bit from jealousy, but more-so it comes from the fact that "friends" may start to question their own inadequecies if you start improving on yours.

Well, TRP has helped in that immensely, but so has simply making an effort to have more sex and having no fear of rejection anymore.

I think that without TRP attitudes toward partner count, LMR wouldn't exist at all I disagree. If you look back to the origins of the PUA days in the late 90's, one of the things they were figuring out, was LMR. So I'd say LMR predates PUA or TRP. But you did say "TRP attitudes".

Maybe not for you since you have a stronger sense of loyalty as a man, but for her. She does not think the same way you do. Skype is no substitute for human contact.

Bergner also implies that women’s declining interest in monogamous sex is socially, not biologically, inflected. Since women receive messages “that sexual desire and expression are not necessarily positive,” BS. Their declining interest in monogamous sex is because they have no need to have sex with a man if they've locked him up as a provider. They can get sex elsewhere, and easily.
