Yeah I was engaged to an Indian doctor nine years ago (easier to remember for sure, as her sober birthday was just two days after mine, and I had my nine year anniversary a few months back). Thought (at the time) she was my soulmate, thought we'd spend our lives together, was even thinking about the possibility of having kids with her (and I'd never even CONSIDERED that with anyone else before), really was the classic "true love" experience (or at least the illusion thereof--something I'd never …

Dear Mr. Tacos: Wow man, only for you do I come out of retirement here on the Red Pill sub... So I see you've already touched upon this in one of the other comments, but I want to dig a little deeper here: what do you honestly, HONESTLY think the real, final endgame is for those of us who follow Red Pill philosophy? I remember, years ago (when I was regular commenter here for a bit), the crowd seemed to be split into two distinct camps, the younger guys (teens and 20s) who were just in the "I wa…

I mean surely it's in their best interests to pick somewhere good if they have any investment in it at all? Hah hah you'd think so wouldn't you. I think for women though it's more about 1) physical proximity to their place (so they don't have to travel as far, obviously), and 2) going to wherever the maximum number of people are at any given time. Number 1 I totally get, I like planning dates right next to my place so that, if things go well, the bounce is an effortless 5 minute walk back to min…

What I really regret, though, is not warning her then cutting off contact when she disrespected me because she was hotter than any girl I've ever met. Sounds like you might have a pretty amazing field report right here. Something we could all learn from. Consider posting, I'd love to read it.

Because every time I've deviated from the tried and tested game plan I only end up with a lighter wallet to show for it. Abso-fucking-lutely. (In fact you should totally do a post about this.) I have it down to a science now--same exact place, same time (day of the week slightly flexible but must be Tues Wed or Thurs), I always sit in the EXACT same spot (at that bar in the restaurant I like, and then we either stay there or move outside to the courtyard), I have just a few different standard fi…

Yeah the vast majority of times, when they show up far older, heavier, whatever, you're best off just killing the date as fast as possible. I will say though that there have been a few times where I stuck it out for a little bit, ended up meeting female friends of the girl I was on a date with, and then eventually trading up to one of said friends (not that very night but soon after). Other times, I've met guy friends of the girl that ended up being good friends of mine down the line, so you nev…

Thanks man, not quite to 7 years yet but almost. Glad you liked the FR and got something out of it, I too always feel like I learn a lot more from other people's failures than their victories (though obviously both can be useful). I actually hope we get a few more "Here's how I totally fucked up" FRs posted here on occasion--if nothing else they definitely ground you in a way that the the more flamboyant "I smashed an HB10 last night" FRs do not.

If you're in a new city and don't yet have the lay of the land, I'd absolutely scout ahead first, check out the venues and see what's what. The last thing you want is to agree to a date (at a venue of her choosing), and then show up only to find out the place is loud, crowded, too brightly lit, you can't get a table, there's no seating at the bar, you have to wait forever for drinks, etc etc. LOT of variables to account for, and if any one of them is off it can really kill the vibe. Looking back…

I'm a softie. I would've caved. Laughing in her face was too harsh. To be fair I was definitely laughing more at the absurdity of the whole situation than laughing at HER per se. It just struck me as so bizarre, both of us ripping into each other like that, and then she hits me with "I had this awful time growing up..."--and right as my Uber was pulling up too. It really felt like a classic cringe comedy moment, like something out of a Ricky Gervais sitcom. As far as the whole "Take me back to y…

Hah hah, yeah sometimes they really do blindside you right up front. It's easy for many to play keyboard quarterback and scream "Well why didn't you just walk out BRAH??!! Why didn't you hold FRAME??!!" But the reality is, when you're sitting there, actually facing another human being, it's very, very different--and yeah sometimes the rules can go right out the window, just "because" (and this can happen even if you've spent a lot of time out on dates). Ultimately all we can do is look back and …

Brooklyn's great for sure. I only found myself over there a few times during the 12 years I lived in NYC but everyone I knew / know over there loves it. In fact a friend of mine who I met right after I moved to LA was on his way to NYC, we were lamenting the lack of quality women in LA (and the skewed guy to girl ratio, 2 guys to every 1 girl out here), I assured him "Trust me man, when you head to NYC, it's totally flipped, you'll have to beat them away with a stick", guy didn't really believe …

Yeah I think I'm done with OKC, it really is the dinosaur of the dating scene. I just liked it because it let me read a bit more about the girls, and I usually found that girls who wrote more and wrote well ended up being better dates. We're in an app / pic-based dating environment now though for sure. Doesn't bode well re: "my quest for the smart educated LA girl" but who knows, maybe there's one out there.

I'm 41, I've had like 25 years active in the sexual marketplace. Been in monogamous relationships for maybe a total of 2 or 3 years (when I add them all together), so yeah, that's a lot of time out in the playing field. Add to that I traveled throughout my late teens, lived in NYC from 25 to 37, and have been in LA for the past 4 years, and I'm sure you can do the math there. To be fair, if I want to be absolutely TECHNICALLY correct about my partner count, it's actually somewhere between 150 an…

This is actually a VERY good point, and one that a sober friend of mine brought up right after I called him to talk about the date soon after it happened. He was like "Well look, by not drinking at the outset, you obviously triggered something in HER. Like maybe she was terrified that she wasn't attractive enough to you, that she wouldn't get laid unless she got you drunk first, so when you refused to drink, she lashed into you with 'Why aren't you DRINKING??!!'" etc. As soon as he said that I w…

I never say anything that isn't true. But obviously, as all recovering alcoholics know, opening your first date with "Hey, I'm a recovering ALCOHOLIC!!" is not exactly putting your best foot forward. Which is funny, because all the recovering alcoholics I know have done more spiritual work, on themselves and with others, in the past week than most "normies" have done in the past year, if not their entire lives. So really, you'd think the "I'm a recovering alcoholic" opener would, in many ways, b…

Glad you liked it, I definitely found it both funny AND sad, all at once (when it happened I was pretty upset that I'd managed to find my way into such a magnificent clusterfuck like that, but with a little distance, I managed to find the humor in it all as well). You're correct in that I should have stopped (or redirected) when she suggested the new place--that's definitely something to do AFTER the two of you have gotten to know one another, hooked up a few times, are something of a regular it…

My usual go-to first date spot is much more compatible with not drinking (just grabbing coffee etc). That having been said, I've been on quite a few dates that started at wine bars (or the like), and it's never been a problem. True, a lot of women, once they see you don't drink, get instantly turned off, the date is DOA, there's basically no way to recover (because they want to get buzzed before they fuck you, and if they don't get their buzz on first they can't do it, the dating process is too …

Not my best moment for sure. It was a field report designed to show me at my worst, not at my best. Most of my dates, like 80%, go extremely well. Maybe 15% are meh. Then there's 5% that just don't work, at all. This was the bottom of that 5%. Just goes to show that even if you've clocked quite a few hours on the field, you can still totally fuck it up from time to time. Hopefully some valuable lessons for others.

Thanks man, it really is tough sometimes, isn't it? I like to think I have a bit of experience on the playing field, by now, but the Great Game still manages to surprise me sometimes (often for the better, occasionally for the worse, as in my FR). The fact is, you can read TRP until you have the theory down COLD, you can clock thousands of hours out there running around, and still get caught off guard, lose the frame, get thrown for a loop. As I mentioned elsewhere, even the pros drop the ball a…

Oh I don't mind the critiques--anyone here who comments on my loss of frame is absolutely correct, that WAS the whole point of the post. I wanted a field report that told it like it was, warts and all. Too many of the FRs around here have just been these Superman-like tales of "Let me regale you all with how I read the sidebar once, lifted some weights, and a week later effortlessly slayed this HB10 model I met out at a club this one night..."

It was all over my profile, she knew, she just wanted to get into the "why" of it, and try to bring me back to the drinking fold (albeit in the harshest, most obnoxious manner possible). The truth is regular drinkers just don't get it--their response is always "Come on, you're fine, JUST DRINK LESS!!" I know, and I can't blame them at all, I used to be the exact same way (in fact I said the exact same thing to a friend of mine who got sober right before I did). So I know exactly what it looks li…

Totally. You're much better off securing your foundation, and then building from a solid place. The last thing you want is to try to build a skyscraper on a foundation suited only for a shack. Improve, figure out who you are, what your "rules" are, where your boundaries are, etc etc--all of this can be extremely useful, and will absolute push your game forward in the long run.

I've been here almost four years, and while I've met a small handful of smart, educated women, all of them, without exception, have been of the settled down variety, in long term relationships, married, with kids, etc etc (and in every case, the relationship was started elsewhere, and then the couple moved here to LA). I love this city, really I do, but finding a smart, single girl out here, I just don't know if it's possible. There are a lot of FUN girls out here, fine for one-nighters or casua…

Yeah I know quite a few people that have taken the "allergic to alcohol" route too. I've considered that, but never quite felt comfortable with it, like I wasn't being entirely honest in some way. The real problem is that the whole "alcoholic" thing isn't in the public discourse in the way that it should be--if "normies" (as we call regular drinkers) understood exactly how the whole "alcoholism" thing works, there'd be a lot less miscommunication, less ACCUSATIONS, and just a lot less hassle ove…

Yeah my system thus far has been to downplay it, slide around it... My experience has been that most women (not all, but most), when out on a first date, once they suspect that (gasp!) you might be an ALCOHOLIC, they wrap things up pretty quickly after that. If you frame it like "Nah, it wasn't a big deal, really, I just wanted to get in shape, get healthy" etc etc, usually you can dodge the bullet. Sometimes, though, no matter what you say, as soon as you say you don't drink, they just see "ALK…

Women DON'T make that connection. Period. I'm 41, I've known thousands of women in my life (and dated hundreds), and I've never seen it, not once. Nor do I expect to. Ever. Women go after the hot alpha bad boy ("Bless their hearts...", as a country-raised girlfriend of mine used to say), and often they get him (always for no-strings-attached casual sex, never for actual commitment), but then they're shocked when they find out said bad boy is continuing to have sex with other women (alphas keep h…

My first point was simply that, if you have one guy and he's having sex with one girl, and then the rest of that girl's female friends meet him (the rest of her peer group), they're all gonna wanna have sex with him too, as he's now "pre-approved" (we talk about pre-selection here on TRP all the time). Likewise if you have a guy who is NOT having sex with one particular girl (in a group), and then the guy meets the rest of her friends, as soon as all the friends find out that Girl X isn't having…

making her friends jealous. This is the big one right here--everything else (the amount of muscle mass you have, the "costume" you wear etc) follows on from this. Do you look like the guy that, when she shows a picture of you to all her girlfriends the next day, she'll make them jealous? If so, you get the sex. If not, you don't. It really is that simple.

Fellow alcoholic in recovery here (almost 7 years--I never had a problem with the drugs but for me the booze was more than enough to get me to and through Step 1).

I was never really into it, did it if it was going around at parties etc but never sought it out on my own, for me it was strictly a social thing. When I left that scene I left that drug behind as well, was happy to do it. So yeah, if you're young and in sha…

True, but keep in mind the goal of a dating app is NOT to get you onto a date ASAP, or to get you to sex, or to a relationship--the goal of a dating app is to get you to use the dating app as much as possible, and it does this by keeping you single for as long as possible. That's pretty much it. That's their revenue stream: number of users multiplied by number of minutes spent by each user on the app each day.

I'd say it's 98% photos / 2% text, and that's being generous to text. A few years ago I was knocking it out of the park on dating sites with the long, eloquent block of text (several paragraphs) I had attached to my dating profile--women would routinely open me with "Wow, I loved what you wrote here..." etc. Nowadays, the long text profile just comes off as desperate and needy--instead it's all about writing two or three sentences tops, and you better make sure those sentences are light-hearted,…

if women and I enjoyed sex the most if I treated them, as I perceived it, like worthless pieces of fuckmeat, then something must have been wrong. Absolutely. Women WANT to be treated like worthless pieces of fuckmeat. If you don't treat them that way, it's a disservice to you both. And furthermore, if you can't manage to give them what they want and need (the fuckmeat treatment), they'll go and find someone who will. Instantly.

Yeah the fats really help in general when cutting (paradoxically, you have to put fat in to take fat out), they're great for getting you to the feeling of being full quickly, and keeping you there for hours.

Agreed, though I think the diet has to come first.

Deep in their hind brains, what they are really worried about is being fooled by the false Alpha. That's exactly it. God forbid they get impregnated by the false alpha (the beta), and then give birth to beta babies. That really would be the end of everything.

The idea that a man can actually get BETTER at something is absolutely terrifying to women. Simply because they can't afford to accidently become impregnated by a beta male masquerading as an alpha. If the REAL alpha finds out, she'll be kicked out of the tribe, starve, and die. In girl world, there are only natural alphas, and natural betas.

The omega male at least knows his own worth, follows his own path. Dare I say many of the trailblazing, strong-willed, adventurous men of the past were Omegas, not Alphas, in that they didn't care what their peers thought of them. Their actions were not predicated on social approval. That's the SIGMA you're talking about.

The DJ thing is VERY true, and probably worthy of its own post.

Well if the concept is strong enough ("high concept" enough, meaning you can instantly see the movie poster, the TV ads, the whole marketing campaign etc just from the title alone) then we buy the script (even though the writing itself sucks) and have someone else rewrite it. Oftentimes the concept comes from someone who doesn't know how to write a feature script, but that's OK, there are plenty of pros that do.

Totally agree. And the worst part, they're actually attempting to change the laws now, wherein you can no longer file bankruptcy to get out of paying medical bills. Think about that: something totally random happens, you get sick, end up in the ER, they can charge you whatever they want, $5M, $10M, doesn't matter, and if you're thinking "Well I'll just file bankruptcy to get around it" they're like "Nope! Sorry! Not allowed! WE'RE JUST GONNA TAKE EVERYTHING YOU MAKE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE." I…

Indeed, everyone's values are different. Point was that, with 5 minutes to go, you will absolutely know, at that time, what your values really are. For me it was my script. For others it might be making things right with their estranged dad. Others, maybe it's their dog. But one thing's for sure, when the clock is running out, you WILL know.

Absolutely. Knowing what I know now, if I could do it over again I would have looked into insurance that's basically "ER visits only".

I think the key takeaway from the article is to look at that graph, and look to the very right of the X-axis, where you see the top notch guys (the fifth line, OKC uses a 1-5 star ranking system for all profiles). Note that, at the top ranking, the 5-Star guys, they account for 4% of OKC's male profiles. Now consider this: the 80 / 20 principle (often talked about on here) applies TO ITSELF as well.

It's not the hipster thing, it's the Brooklyn thing.

Way too many single women running around, not nearly enough single guys.

I met a girl a little while back at a party (mutual friends), minutes after we met she was talking about her amazing, gorgeous, "model" boyfriend (whipped out her phone to show us all a pic of the guy, of course). I slept with her a few days later. Turns out, the guy whose pic she showed us: he was some random dude that she'd hooked up with at Burning Man months before. Hadn't seen him since. But still, IN HER MIND: "Boyfriend..." Give me a fucking break. It's all hamster.

There are different schools of thought on this, but generally speaking, I consider: 60g of carb / day my soft floor, with 50g my hard floor; and 100g of carb / day my soft ceiling, with 120g my hard ceiling. So basically, I try to get down as close as possible to 60g a day, without going under, though I allow myself a little leeway if need be. Arnold, by the way, advocates the exact same protocol: get as close as you can to 60g of carb / day without going under. His attitude is: you want to get …

Definitely helps with the anger phase, quite a bit in fact.

Actually the girl in question (the HB10) made some very overt passes at me quite a few times over the years, I always laughed and (gently) turned her down every time (my fave: we'd always hot tub at my place, she'd shower up afterward and then prance around my apt naked, seeing if she could get a rise out of me...).

Please follow your instincts. Men evolved this kind of "sixth sense" for a reason--it tipped us off to when the baby that was to come might not be ours, and we might be investing our resources in the wrong place. Every time I've been in a relationship with a woman, and my intuition told me something was "off", it always, ALWAYS turned out to be correct (I inevitably found out she was cheating) later on. Every time I told myself "Nah, come on man, you're just being paranoid..."--and every time it…

I think it just has to do with drama (and the basics thereof), and what excites us. Conflict = drama, drama = excitement and entertainment. When we're really involved in a story (a movie, a book, a game with a strong narrative), it's usually because we have 1) a likeable, underdog protagonist, who 2) is saddled with some kind of impossible-seeming quest, he is then 3) hit with all these seemingly insurmountable tasks (each one harder than the last), until, finally, 4) he gets to the end, slays t…

Nah, with optimal genes and diet / exercise, you can forestall the clock for quite a while. I went out with this girl all the time and guys that routinely hit on her, they all thought she was mid-20s tops (again, the Asian thing really helps here). She'll get hit by the wall eventually, but when I knew her she was comfortably keeping it at bay, last I checked.

The most interesting thing to me in all of this: in the two case studies I offered above, the guys who ended up with the HB10 (doing so solely by utilizing game, and beating out the guys who offered wealth and status), it's like, they weren't ACTIVELY trying to game her, they weren't thinking about it, they weren't "working" on it, calculating it out like a chess game, like some sort of grand master plan, but rather, the game all happened automatically, like it was all on autopilot.

Yep, the HB10 is getting on in years, true... She's Asian though, so, genetically speaking, I'd say her "window" has been extended a bit past when it would normally be closing...

Some of my friends have problems with it. Fuckem. They feel to me like the people who don't want you to start lifting because they're worried you'll be better looking than them. Never thought of it that way before but that's EXACTLY how it is. And you know what, the shitty thing is, I've been on both sides of that fence. One of my closest female friends back in NYC (and off-and-on plate for several years) quit drinking a little while before I did, so you can imagine, going out with this awesome …

you realize that it's not sustainable if you want the kind of life where you reach your full potential or happiness.

Agreed. Sex is a COMPLETELY different experience sober. When I was big drinker, it was: "How many women can I sleep with??" Now that I'm sober (6+ years), it's: "How FEW women can I sleep with??" I've gone from a "quantity" mindset to a quality one. (Perhaps going against the grain a bit here in TRP, with all that, but believe me, I've had my time banging drunk bar sluts, well into the triple-digits...

I'm the same way. I took what worked for me and dropped the rest. Honestly I could boil the 12 steps down to just 2 steps and I think the system would work just as well (if not better): STEP 1: People fucked with your shit--you need to talk to someone about it and get it off your chest-- STEP 2: You fucked with other people's shit--you need to reach out to them and make amends-- That's pretty much it. That's all the life repair you need to get and stay sober. The rest is just window dressing.

Congrats on 5 years. Now you're in the long game. This is where a lot of people relapse (years 5 to 10) so do be on the lookout for that... Drunk people are definitely annoying when you're sober, the game changes significantly (as I'm sure you've found) once you give up the former and become the latter.

If I could JUST drink "socially" I would. And to be honest, there were many nights when I just went out and had a drink or two and that was it. Problem was, there were also many nights (TOO many nights) when those "just one or two drinks" turned into a dozen (or more), and put me out of action for days on end (totally unacceptable, as it was keeping me from realizing my life goals).

Women always have casual sex with random strangers when they travel. It's so they can bring genetic variety back to the tribe.

Had the same thought as well: some time-based "checkpoints" would have been nice. "Expect to spend only 2 months mastering Level 1, but then more like 6 months mastering Level 2" etc. But then, he does state that, in any given meditation session, you're gonna be all over the place--5 minutes in 1, then 3 min in 2, then jump to Level 5 for like 30 seconds, then back down to 1 etc, so I suppose attempting to cookie cutter the whole process is probably not the right way to approach it.

I live in Hollywood, I have a lot of female friends, most of them (right now) prefer black men. They're very vocal and upfront about this, and looking at their dating / hooking up habits, it absolutely bears out. They also listen to gansta rap and all the rest of it. Most of youth culture out here is dominated by the black aesthetic, hence the preference for black men. As I pointed out in another comment, I don't see anything good or bad about that, it just is what it is. That's the current stat…

"Former Californian" does not equal "Los Angeles" nor (in particular) Hollywood. Come to LA, hang out at Hollywood and Vine, walk around, hit all the bars / restaurants / lounges in the area, and count the number of black men with white women. It's almost all you see over here. Of course this may change in a few years, who knows, but right now the current dating fad, the "fashionable accessory" to have on your arm (as a white woman) is absolutely a black man (if you've spent any time on TRP and …

Most Black guys aren't willing to do roids. This actually made me laugh out loud. Thanks for that, needed a kickstart to my morning. Many have a face only their mom could love. Again, no. Could say this about any race, nobody "owns" attractiveness (or unattractiveness).

Gotta disagree, depends entirely on where you are. I live and work in Hollywood (40 year old white male here), I'm surrounded by beautiful young women (late teens, early 20s), mostly white girls, and the vast majority of them (many of them heavy Tinder users) exclusively "date" (hook up with) black men--and that's it.

Yet another great example of a woman maximizing her sexual strategy. (Or at least attempting to, looks like it didn't quite work out in the end.)

This is the problem with caveman living--in a tribe of 100 people, 50 guys and 50 girls, all the girls (save the children and elderly of course) are going to have sex with the biggest, strongest, fastest guy, the top alpha, and the other 49 guys are cut out of the reproductive cycle.

Fact is if you're pursuing a high value / high SMV woman who has her shit together and has a lot going on, simply commanding her "Drinks at Bar X 9pm--BE THERE" isn't going to cut it. I usually find the best course of action is to give her a few (like two) specific options and let her pick one, that way she feels more involved and "owns" the choice, but also it's much more likely that she'll actually be available (since the time frame has a wider spread).

Women think all alphas are "genuinely that way": they never needed to practice piano, much like Good Will Hunting they could just "sit down and play".

I explain this to women as them being in love with the image of what a man represents to them, but not with who the man is.

Women don't have relational equity, anymore than you can breastfeed. It's biological. With men, I do something for you, this goes into the "favor bank", you owe me, and maybe you do something for me at some point in the future. This requires a kind of long-term accounting. Women don't have this. They don't keep score. They reset to zero every single day. For this reason her dropping a "friend" that she had for years is exactly equivalent, in every way, to dropping a friend she's had for 6 months…

Lately I've been noticing: it seems like all the guys with the (multiple) advanced degrees, the dual law / MBA types etc, while they're doing okaaayyyy, money-wise, it seems like more and more the really well off guys I'm meeting, the ones really killing it, are the ones who said Fuck the system (academically) early on, dropped out of a college (if they even went in the first place), started a business (often a really "boring", straightforward one, like "I …

Agreed--although I will say there's experience, and then there's LEARNING from experience... I had an extraordinary amount of experience (lived and traveled all over the world etc) my first 35+ years of life, had been through plenty of women and relationships as well, but when it came to actually learning from any of it I was at a loss (in denial, really)--I kept seeing one thing but all of society kept telling me another, and whenever these two things were in conflict (which was always) I kept …

No More Mr Nice Guy was a life saver for me--started me down the road which ultimately lead me to The Red Pill. (My path was NMMNG, then David Deida's Way of the Superior Man, then The Rationale Male, then The Red Pill--a nice, steady progression.) Would be curious to hear what specifically you didn't like / didn't jibe with you re: NMMNG--I know I found all of it incredibly illuminating, it was like I was reading about myself (and my life) for the very first time.

As it is in day trading, so it is in love: it's not about maximizing your gains, but about MINIMIZING YOUR LOSSES. As soon as you realize the stock has peaked (in this case, she's made it clear the relationship is not progressing any further), cut your losses and move on. Of course, this isn't to say that, if she isn't throwing herself into your arms 10 seconds after she meets you, you should just "Next" her and move on... But if you've spent more than 7 to 10 hours together (15 max), AND you've…

By the way it's totally possible to "just hang out" and still get laid (like "I'm going hiking this weekend, wanna come?"), trick here is you better put your intentions / desire right out on the table and in plain sight ASAP--get the kino in, get the physical escalation ramping up, run your tight game, etc etc. Women only give you a few hours before they start polarizing you, and if you haven't made your (sexual) intentions clear at the outset, they will, by default, automatically polarize you i…

Los Angeles checking in here: you get a +3 to your SMV as a black man (alpha game), +2 for being middle-eastern (beta game); white is neutral; Asian is -2, Indian is -3. So basically most of LA is women going out to hotspots, getting the middle-eastern guys to buy them drinks / bottles etc, and then going home with the black men who swoop in and snap them up right at the end of the night. Thing to keep in mind here is that the female hive mind very much operates off of cultural stereotypes (the …

This is something that really needs to be emphasized far more on this sub (like, SIDEBAR-emphasized): the fact that, no matter how high your SMV, you can never compete with the unknown quantity.

Reality is defined by language. Women seek to control reality by controlling the language which defines it.

Yeah average one bedroom prices are pretty steep, think Soho / Tribeca is now well over the $5K / month mark for a spot in a decent building. Thing is you have to prove your income as being at least 40x your monthly rent before you're even allowed to apply, which means showing an income of $200K+ just to get in. Like I said it's great if you can afford it, just might be tricky to START here for the younger crowd (unless, of course, you're pulled out of an Ivy and drafted right into Goldman Sachs…

I was a writer but to be fair I came into the city with a little bit of money already in hand. NYC is one of the most expensive cities in the world (and last I checked my neighborhood, Tribeca, was the most expensive 'hood, in fact ALL the downtown 'hoods are getting pretty pricey these days) so yeah, come prepared to spend a lot if you want to break in. Finance seems to be the default career for the downtowners, there was a little bit of tech going on back in the day (Silicon Alley, when I firs…

I live and work in Hollywood, it's the exact same way with acting gigs. You have this amazingly-talented, highly-trained actor come in, read for a part, he totally nails it, OWNS the role, and then he's like (on the way out), "You know, I just want to say, really, I'm just SOOO grateful for this gig, and so thankful that you all took the time to see me today" etc etc... Director (feeling the desperation coming off him in waves) is like, "Um, yeah, OK... Well thanks for coming in..." Moments late…

39-year-old here, discovered the Red Pill about 18 months ago (37 at the time) so take heart, it's never too late. Fact is, every time I come here and read a post that starts with "I'm only 23" or "I'm only 18" or "I'm only in high school" I think "Thank God, thank fucking God that some of these guys are starting this early, now, and getting this absolutely priceless information right out of the starting gate…” If you're under 25, or hell, under 30 and reading this sub, let me assure you, just b…

THE GOLDEN RULE: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PROTECT A WOMAN FROM HERSELF. "If she tells you she wants a long term relationship but then sleeps with you anyway, as long as you have told her (even just one time) that you do NOT want a relationship, you are in the clear. A woman’s ideal might be a long term relationship, that does not mean she might not let go of that ideal for a good fuck in the moment."

Am actually working on a book right now that covers exactly this (dating / hooking up in NYC vs LA), will definitely post a free copy here in the Red Pill as soon as it's done (assuming the mods are cool with that). Meanwhile yes, have been meaning to get my first post up here, perhaps a little preview of the book re: NYC vs LA when it comes to differences in pick up strategy, game etc might be just the ticket, will see what I can do.

Absolutely. Mystery talked about this in THE GAME, he called it "Cat String Theory". If the string is just lying there on the ground within easy reach, cat doesn't care. If the string is WAY up high, several feet out of reach, cat doesn't care. If the string is JUST out of reach, like 2 or 3 inches, cat goes crazy trying to catch the thing in its paws. So it is with women.

Exactly: the article interviewed a few alphas and then a whole bunch of women. Looks like they skipped the part where they interview the betas and the guys are all like, "Yeah, I've been swiping right all day long here for a few weeks now, got like 3 matches so far, none have written back yet but I'm still hoping!!" Granted in NYC the odds are heavily in your favor (as a man) but still, this article was almost a parody of itself. Like: "Meet Mr Awesome, only 25 years old, President of Big Cock C…

Couldn't agree more, just posted a comment here that echoes exactly this. Buddha says: if you want to find water, dig one well that's 6-feet deep, not six wells that are 1-foot each. In NYC, you've got all these women wandering all over the desert, all of them digging a thousand different 1-inch wells, and then wondering why they're dying of thirst... Funny, and sad--and it's only gonna get worse from here on out.

Been in LA for the past 2 years but before that lived in NYC for 12 (downtowner, in Tribeca), 39 years old now and absolutely couldn't agree more re: the "dating" scene in NYC. Tinder wasn't quite out yet when I was there, it was all Match and OKC but regardless, you had like 6 single women to every 1 single guy (or 10 to 1, some kind of outrageous ratio like that), as a result I was doing EXTREMELY well in the hooking up department, but when it came to any kind of real, honest, meaningful relat…

By the way I should also mention: women are friends with men they like; women have sex with men they don't like. When a woman tells you, "I don't like you." you are very, VERY close to having sex with her. All you have to do at that point is get her in a situation where you can slowly, steadily, physically escalate. Rest will take care of itself.

I was in a situation similar to yours not long ago, had a (very) high SMV woman back at my place, making out on the couch for a good 10 min or so, she's really warming up to everything (straddling me etc), when suddenly she pulls back and says, "You know we're not having sex tonight, right?" (Just like the LMR in your story.) Without batting an eyelash I just barked out a laugh--long and loud--and said, "Of COURSE we're not having sex tonight, you can't have me that easy!!" (Reframe.) It took he…

Women always have casual sex with random strangers when they travel--it's all about bringing genetic variety back with them when they finally return to the home tribe. This is also why she offered to have sex with her boyfriend as soon as they re-united (it had nothing to do with her feeling contrite): in caveman days, it would have been: 1) have sex with attractive alpha male while briefly visiting faraway tribe, 2) return to home tribe and immediately have sex with caring beta, 3) wait a month…

The alpha and beta designations aren't absolutes, it's really more of a spectrum along which you'll slide back and forth over the course of your life... Feel like this doesn't get talked about enough around here, so glad Rollo pointed it out in his post. One women's alpha is another women's beta--context is everything.

This is actually really useful advice. If a girl you're into is dating (or just hooking up with) a total douchebag (we've all been there), the last thing you want to do is point out (out loud), "Oh my God, that guy is so gross, what a total douchebag..." (As you'll just get her even more attracted to the man.) Instead, say, "Oh my God, yeah, I LOVE that guy!! He's such a NICE guy, isn't he? So sweet. Really. Totally reliable, you just know he'd be there for you in a pinch. Kinda guy that would'v…

Right before I moved out here a producer friend of mine said, "I hope you enjoyed getting laid in NYC my man, 'cuz once you get to LA, you are never going to have sex ever, EVER again..." Wouldn't say it worked out quite like that but yeah, it's definitely tougher for the guys out here for sure: in NYC I think it's some insanely lopsided ratio like 10 single women for every 1 single man, here in LA it's 2 single guys for every 1 single girl (and the guys are all ferociously aggressive with their…

Can confirm: lived in NYC for 12 years (downtown Manhattan, in Tribeca), moved to LA 2 years ago (Hollywood), LA is definitely the superior city when it comes to the Arts. NYC was where it was at a little while ago, but sometime right around 2005, 2006, suddenly all the creatives left, and now it's just hedge fund managers and the people who work for them. LA is ALL artists, and it's a great town to be in if you're just starting out because you're surrounded by that energy all the time. I think …

Any girl who's using Internet or mobile dating (OKC, Tinder etc) usually has 3 regular guys she's hooking up with, and then 1 to 3 backups as well (so 4 to 6 really, although they always report "3", as anything more than 3 regulars at any one time would be totally slutty behavior, am I right guys??). Every 2 weeks to 2 months one of the guys is changed out, so fresh Alpha meat is being brought in pretty much all the time, with the losers ghosted as soon as there's a slightly better prospect on t…

Re: a lot of the comments here, to quote one of my favorite movies (A FEW GOOD MEN): "It's the difference between PAPER law, and TRIAL law..." When you're studying, it all takes place in an idealized "perfect" legal world, where logic trumps everything. Out in the real world, however, most cases are won on bluff and bluster (with precious few ever even going to trial). In keeping with OP's "RP Law" theme here though I will offer this bit: friend of mine is a well known trial lawyer in NYC. He sa…

If a woman says "I CAN'T STAND HIM!!", "HE DISGUSTS ME!!", or "HE DRIVES ME CRAZY!!!!"--you can be sure she's about 10 minutes away from having sex with him. The neurons that fire together wire together. Works the same for love AND for hate. Use to your advantage.

Agreed. I've always thought most Red Pillers WAY underestimate the number of men most women have likely been through. I read of partner counts here like "5" and "10" and I just want to laugh and laugh... Average partner count for an attractive young woman (and I know a few) by my observation is usually around 2 to 4 new partners each and every month (with or without a boyfriend, doesn't matter). Facebook, Tinder, Instagram--it's just so easy for women these days. They see a pic of a new guy on t…

Dr Robert Glover’s (author of NO MORE MR NICE GUY) advice re: exclusivity early on in a relationship (from his “Early Stages of Dating” podcast): if she asks if you’re seeing other women, you say: “Until you and I have a conversation about dating each other exclusively, you should assume that I am dating other women.” If she persists, you say: “Seeing multiple people is a good way to slow things down, and we can actually get to know each other better that way.

I used to have a joke with friends: whatever “number” a woman gives you (re: her partner count), multiply by 3 and add 10. Whatever number a guy gives you, divide by 2 and subtract 5. How funny, years later, now that I’ve discovered the Red Pill, to see this random observation actually backed up by evidence time and time again… My experience is that a woman’s (actual) partner count tends to be tied to that woman’s age / generation. Gen-X women (born between 1960 and 1975) most often report an ex…
