Dude lets level here. You're in high school, still in your hometown, and you chose the three girls that you've had a crush on since 7th grade. It doesn't work like that. At this point in your life man...like I remember high school. It sucks. It probably sucked for most people here. If you're smart, you're gonna think into the future. Don't worry about the girls now. It's gonna suck, I know, but search any post about high school reunions and how much we make fun of the people who went nowhere. Ju…

I don't know, man. There are all these silver bullets for clearing acne, but at the end of the day it's a simple enough problem: bacteria on your skin is causing infection. I know people point to milk and sugar and stuff, but the scientific evidence to back this up is scant. And the studies that used to implicate it aren't great. The fact is that your body is made to process basically any food or drink, and these things are all broken down to their basic building blocks. Drinking milk, for examp…

Sex with strangers sparks an emotional response insofar as the chemicals in your brain force it to do so. Once you get used to the usual oxytocin spike, it loses effectiveness. Lets ask the real question here: who do we care about? More specifically: who are the people I care about, and why do I care about them? We care about the people we spend time with. We care about the people we invest time into. Of course you don't get a huge emotional response from sleeping with random girls. They're rand…

Great post, great focus, great advice. Everyone will find their own path to walk, but this is a great place for anyone new to the game to start. I'd also like to commend you for one paragraph, and one sentence in particular: I realized that ever since I graduated high school I had been a lazy piece of shit, that put everybody else before himself. Women, family, work, literally everything. If you had asked anyone, I was a dedicated individual who worked 60-70 hours a week in various fields. I was…

And lets not forget the most frequently overlooked relationship choice: going it alone. Being single is always a viable option, and in many cases the preferable one. Robin Williams once said "I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up alone. It's not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel alone." If you're in a shitty relationship, or one that has gotten stale and you're no longer enjoying, the choice to walk is always viable. Abundance mentality does…

In short, this falls into your frame, self-control, and the concept of "amused mastery." When you're talking to women, you need to be relaxed. If you're nervous, uptight, angry, sad, or whatever, your attitude will reflect that and you'll come off as exactly the emotion you're feeling. Learn to control your emotions, relax yourself, and let it flow. If you can calm yourself and get a conversation going, realize that you're talking to another human with the goal of having fun - for you and for he…

There's a famous cliche by...some really old guy (and presently the US Marines), that you may have heard of: "Fortuna favet fortibus." Meaning Fortune Favors the Bold. It means the same thing as Wayne Gretzky's celebrated quote "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take," the Christian proverb "God helps those who help themselves," and the British SAS "he who dares, wins." Don't you remember playing sports in high school, and having your coach tell you that the team with the most heart is the te…

Online dating has given easier access to people looking to date/hook-up. I still have a hard time believing that all of the available pussy is being snapped up by the "top 10%." There's only so much top 10% to go around, and it's not like those guys spend every single night getting laid. Even if they had women lining up to do it, you can only have so much sex before you decide that you would rather stay in and play video games, or sleep by yourself, or go out with the boys. But the statistics st…

Lets be real about what's going on here: No one of your casual friends gives a fuck about your thoughts on macroeconomics or existentialism or your own personal philosophy on the rationality of a deterministic universe. Remember what Maya Angelou said: "People may not remember exactly what you did, or what you said, but they will always remember how you made them feel."

Her text is way too long, and tries way too hard at evoking your sympathy. I think what you're seeing here is the female version of dread game. She's trying to scare you into thinking she's gonna disappear so that you'll come running and appease her with a commitment. If you do: you've gone BP and put the mark of death on the relationship. if you don't: she'll come back to try to convince you again that she's worth it. Sounds like you fell into some serious feelings. Brush that shit off and try …

Man. Reading this brings back some memories. I've got this rule: Everybody gets one. You get one person to make all your mistakes with. One girl to break up with, and then get back together. One girl you drop the L-bomb with too early. One girl you take too much shit from. One girl you forgive when you should walk. And if this girl is your one...so be it. You can be friends with her, just be aware that these relationship feelings never really go away. You just learn to deal with them. Take some …

What do real men do, in your opinion, that makes them real men? Personally I think we've lost the feeling of surviving. For millenia humans lived day-by-day, not knowing if they were going to live or die, but striving for the former. Today there is no such requirement. We take no risks, others provide for us, and social safety nets preclude any chance we had to change. I'm not saying you need to adopt an off-the-grid, man vs wild lifestyle. But when I felt like you do - like life is meaningless …

Upvoted, and thanks for bringing the other side of the argument to the table. I won't argue your marriage with you - if you feel that it has been worth it, that's for you. One point I will argue with you though, is this remark: Think about your grandparents. They had it all. I think we romanticize the relationships our grandparents held. For example, rates of spousal abuse were higher in the past than they are now. Rates of alcoholism were higher. Likewise, we have the adages of the "hen-pecked …

Girls who approach by proxy still have plausible deniability. If she's approaching by proxy I would argue that she thinks there's a chance you will say no (and the proxy is her sparing herself direct rejection) and therefore she sees you as higher SMV than her. Girls that approach directly are a different sort of animal. I would recommend that you be very careful until you discern their craziness level, which is done by generously accepting their approach and having a conversation. After that it…

This post is an in-depth discussion of the question men need to ask themselves before pursuing relationships. "I want a girlfriend." What would you do with one? That's it. That's the question. Men blindly pursue women and haven't a clue what they would actually do with her. Those who understand will state the obvious "I would fuck her." That's it. That's the relationship between men and women, at it's most base. But until one can internalize that fact, they will blindly chase after women, thinki…

Decisions made out of jealousy and emotion are generally poor decisions. If our hypothetical friend took the time to consider his budget and what he could really afford, he might have avoided this scenario. My question is: as someone in the middle class, do you really see lack of home ownership creating this sort of stigma? I've always felt that my friends who live in apartments or condos were living the high life. Expenses were nil, they were saving a ton of money, and spending money on trips a…

At the end of the day, we're all just animals. I'm not advocating the "training" of another person, but there are lessons to be learned from dogs that can be applied to human relationships. Though OP references those lessons being applied to women, I find they are especially effective with young children. If a toddler throws a tantrum and you concede and give the child what it wants - it learns that throwing a tantrum is a good way to achieve its goal. If you issue a command to a child and it re…

I haven't seen that study, but I would believe it being true. Don't you think that this is the benefit children bring to women? Particularly their sons? A son will always love his mother (considering she raised him kindly and well). He'll love her more than any other woman up until the day he gets married and has his own children (and even then, it's questionable. Being a momma's boy can be a life-long venture).

Societies and nations move cyclically, but human nature hardly changes. I don't know if the world suddenly "wakes up" to this, as much as something catastrophic happens and we revert back to old ways of living. Some of the shit people pull today, men an women, is done from a very privileged position. Political correctness, frivolous lawsuits, inane "rights" groups. Frequently, those who we consider "oppressed," are only able to campaign for "rights" because our rule of law protects them. Homosex…

I see your point, and I won't dispute it with you. Your comment did make me wonder something, though. Men are working, in bars, or watching/doing something sports related. You say that to a woman, and I can already hear the response: "I don't want a man who is married to his job." "I don't want to date a drunk, or a man trying to live his college years at 30." "I don't want a man whose life revolves around sports. I don't want to be with someone who sits around all weekend watching football." Me…

I am younger than you are, but as a 31 year old would you mind elaborating on your habits and strategy? Where do you find 18-22 year olds? How many are willing to sleep with you, and how many are willing to enter a relationship? Are you seeking a LTR, or plates? Do you encounter a great deal of social stigma from your friends or family due to the average age of your girlfriends? I suppose, really, I'm looking to see how the game will change for me in the years to come.

This is one of the key differences between men and women: which molehills become mountains. As per your FR, you can see that for women, molehills will often become mountains.

5-HTP is a precursor to serotonin. Consuming it will boost your serotonin levels. However, it is important to note that serotonin, in addition to playing a role in your brain as a neurotransmitter, plays a very large role in smooth muscle (i.e. your digestive tract) function. By supplementing it, you may find yourself having an irregular bowel movement schedule and/or stomach cramps. Personally, I found 5-htp supplementation made me feel tired. Also: high serotonin levels kill your ability to ge…

Disposability gives us freedom. We aren't earmarked for anything at birth. Women know that if they want to have children, they'll have to give up a great deal to create and nurture a child. Because we are not, we are free to do whatever suits our fancy. I would much rather be disposable than to have my life dictated to me.

So the pictures came out and everybody saw them. Big deal. But what really happened here? Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, Ariana Grande, et al. are figures created by the media to represent the apex of femininity. These are supposed to be among the most beautiful women. They have pretty faces, attractive bodies, talent (I say this tongue-in-cheek, especially in the case of Kate Upton, for the sheer fact that being a model is more about what you look like than your ability), fame, and money.

A wife submitting to a husband is typical for devoted Christians. It's certainly not out of the ordinary. What we see here is how a self-described "liberal" and "open-minded" individual is unable to accept lifestyles that don't agree with her own. I swear, it's like you can't believe a word they say.

This is a thought and a phase everyone new to TRP will have to go through. Ultimately, it's the realization that happiness isn't as easy to achieve as you thought it was. Too many people stumble through life thinking that by marrying another person, they will receive happiness. That's the rub. Marrying someone to become happy is not reality. Being a man - being any complete human, really - means being satisfied and happy with yourself and your life before you look for a partner to settle down wi…

To give two cents on your question: In counter argument I would like to ask if participating in the rat race is really such a terrible thing? We would have to define what "the rat race" is. Is just working a job "the rat race?" Or is it working a job and keeping up with the Jones's? Let me first give you my thoughts on asceticism. I studied Buddhism for many years.

The question you pose is the question to be asked. Why live? I feel that, at the most base levels of TRP, that is the question you are forced to ask yourself. Self-improvement is great. Educating yourself is great. Chasing women is great. Not chasing women is great. But why do we do these things? What is the higher goal we are trying to achieve? You won't have big muscles forever. You won't chase women forever. There is no prize for reading the most books. You receive no trophy for having the mo…

Tough situation for that guy to be in. A realization like that is about as crushing as they come. I will say though, from the other side of the coin it's fairly crushing too.

Solid post, man. Unfortunately, this is something all boys have to go through in order to complete their transition to becoming men. Byt that, I mean: it's your response to this situation that completes the transition - not simply experiencing it. You have to know the heartbreak, the loneliness, the emptiness.

That is true. Working out your larger muscle groups (quads/hamstrings/glutes/lower back) results in an increase in testosterone. That testosterone has a greater affect on the muscles in your torso, where there are more receptors.

This is a great thought-experiment, but a slippery slope when put into practice. It's easy to overlook someone's flaws when you like them - both in men and in women.

It was a response to OP's comment that "sex with women was a bare necessity to make society grow." What I have quoted does not agree with OP's sentiment that homosexual intercourse was seen as preferable in Greek society. Rather, men of that time had the same urges for women that we do now - urges so strong that, as the quote states, Sophocles was "glad to have escaped from all that."

The ancient Greeks are rather infamous for the way they viewed pedophilia. But I wouldn't write off heterosexual intercourse so lightly. To quote from Plato's Republic: Cephalus, speaking to Sophocles: " 'Can you still make love to a woman?' 'Quiet, man,' he replied, "I am very glad to have escaped from all that, like a slave who has escaped from a deranged and savage master." 329c, Republic, trans CDC Reeve. As it is written, you can see that heterosexual relationships were, as they are now, a …

Excellent memory. Here is what you are thinking of: "Should [women] reduce the amount of work required of the males by sharing their duties, or should they "stay indoors and look after the house" (451d)? It is argued by Socrates' critic, as it has been throughout the ages, that a difference in reproductive roles does indeed entail a difference in social ones. However, Socrates' points out that it is not clear that one's role in reproduction has anything to do with one's aptitude for a type of wo…

This is one of the great mysteries of TRP, in my opinion. We teach sexual strategy - how to spin multiple plates for casual sex. Yet we espouse research which shows that women with multiple partners make less suitable long-term partners. Your common sense has to guide you here. Women are still humans, and individuals. You cannot predict what a particular individual will do based upon research and statistics. Research and statistics are useful when looking at a group. Personally, I wouldn't consi…

Seconding this. Reading, in all genres, provides benefits. If you want to learn a trick or a skill, you buy a book about. But don't confuse that with pleasure reading. Fiction, historical fiction, and auto/biographies will open your mind in ways that instructional texts will not. Studies show that people who read are better able to empathize with their fellow human. Reading places you in social situations and introduces you to new people, without there being other people.

TRP frequently deviates from its stated purpose. Our own sidebar describes TRP as "Discussion of sexual strategy in a culture increasingly lacking a positive identity for men."

Great post, OP. TRP has a lot of great qualities, but they can overshadow one of the keys to a happy life: balance. Three areas I've identified in myself that require balance are: Time spent with yourself. Time spent with others. Time spent with nature. Admittedly, I read a lot of ancient Greek philosophy (Socrates/Plato/Aristotal/Epicurus/Lucretius), so this thinking stems from that.

An All-Star would be one of the best of the best. The .300 is a reference to baseball. If a player hits .300 (30%) of the balls pitched to him, he's a great hitter. OP means to say that no one wins every time. Even the best of the best only succeed about 30% of the time.

You'll find that the standards men and women hold differ vastly from one another. Go to the gym - watch the guys working out, watch the girls working out. Who is working harder? I don't mean who is running faster, or who is lifting heavier weights. I mean, who is taking less breaks? Who is spending all their time on their phone? Men have a vested interest in being stronger.
