> Affection is not the same thing as attraction. Women don’t want to fuck weak men, even if they like them.

Society has been telling men for nearly 20 years that they want them to be sensitive, emotionally available, connected to their partner, etc. And what's the end result? A dead bedroom, a divorce, and your ex-wife finding "a real man" to fuck her brains out while you pay child support/alimony to a woman who thinks you're pathetic and children you don't get to see.

Not convinced? Check out this feminist article "Why Great Husbands are Being Abandoned" stating the exact opposite of what society has been telling men for two decades:

> I am currently dealing with several of these great husbands. They are, across the board, respectful, quality, caring, devoted, cherishing, authentic, and supportive guys whose wives have left them for a different kind of man. These once-beloved men make a living, love their kids, help with chores, support aging parents, and support their mate's desires and interests. They believe they've done everything right. They are devastated, confused, disoriented, and heartsick. In a tragic way, they startlingly resemble the disheartened women of the past who were left behind by men who "just wanted something new."

> You may think that these women are ruthless and inconsiderate. Those I know are far from that. More often, they still love their husbands as much as they ever did, but in a different way. They tell me how wonderful their men are and how much they respect them. They just don't want to be married to them anymore.

Isn't that great? Your ex-wife thinks you're wonderful, respects you, and she even loves you. She just doesn't want to fuck you. Ever. After trying you, she's realized what she really wants: A "man's man."

Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt may be the single most important book anyone reads in their life, as the laws of economics can be applied to every aspect of your life, including to chasing tail.

Some will criticize that the book may be a little outdated. If you feel that way, I would recommend Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell.

That's far from the best, most unintentional RP upvoting in the thread.

The goldmine I found was kicked off with, "When they think they'll be less of a man if they talk about problems/things that bother them."

To which men started to reply

>That's because every woman we've ever tried that with has left us because we weren't "enough of a man". YOU want us to be the shoulder you can cry on. You're not as good when we show you that we need something too. We learn quickly.

and in reply

>Bingo! A lot of women say they want a sensitive man but what they really mean, they want a man sensitive to THEIR emotions and needs. I've dated great women who comforted me through tough times. I've also dated women who got uncomfortable when I cried.

and

>Verbatim what my ex said. She's a very compassionate person whose incredibly smart, understanding and knowing all this I spent some amount of time explaining my problems. No only had she no solution, she very quickly got that fed up vibe... And said those magic words before ending it all several weeks later You're... You're just not a "man"... It's been months and I'm still picking up the pieces.

And a different sub thread from the goldmine.

>Yeah, speaking as a "sensitive dude"... as much as women talk up the fact that they are attracted to emotions, a lot of women get very turned off when they realize how fucked up men are on the inside.

plenty there

Amazing post! This is a topic dear to my heart and it's amazing how it ties in to so many topics we talk about on TRP.

Just want to plug a book if anyone wants to dive deeper. The book "A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy" is a great primer. http://www.amazon.com/Guide-Good-Life-Ancient-Stoic/dp/0195374614

One of the biggest things for me is knowing the difference between things I can and cannot change. Accepting your sphere of influence can do wonders for your state of mind.

Transgenderism is so widely supported by feminism and SJWs because it involves the actual surgical removal and discarding of the principle symbol of patriarchy and male dominance, and that is the penis.

Why do I say this? Because if you look at the stats, the vast, overwhelming majority of transgenders are male to female, not female to male. Trust me, if the majority of trannies was creating a net increase in more male shitlords, this whole phenomenon would be identified as the mental disorder that it is.

This is why the line has been blurred in society. If you notice, if you come out as anti-tranny, you are automatically slapped with the misogyny label. If you don't like trannies, you hate women is the new narrative.

Nice post OP, ties well with:

The 4th Law of Power: Always say less than necessary.

Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends And Influence People key point: Become interested in other people. (Carnegie wrote that if one was to learn just one thing from his book it better be this one thing).

As for becoming less selfish, I have found that reading stoic philosophy (Meditations by Marcus Aurelius is a good one) and meditating helps. Also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMRrCYPxD0I

During any one conversation you should aim to follow the 70/20/10 rule:

Listen 70% of the time.

Ask questions 20% of the time.

Offer small input 10% of the time.

Sounds like her and her friend decided to set up her husband for a nice lucrative divorce case. Cheating and "rape!" What could better convince a family court that she deserves all his assets?

The fact is, peaceful negotiations won't overturn these abuses of law and egalitarianism.

It's called "war" and until men realize and start acting like it is "war" - these women will continue to get away with these immense tyrannies and injustices. Women are just as capable of taking responsibility for their own choices when they drink as men. There is no greater insult to actual rape victims than stating that getting drunk and having sex is pretty much the same thing.

The use of women for sexual seduction in war is nothing new - and the liberals are employing it wholeheartedly:

Thank you /u/redpillschool, for the review and the stickie.

It is truly an honor to get acknowledged by someone who's made such catalytic impact on the modern state of the War of the Sexes.

The book blog is TheEmpressIsNaked.wordpress.com, where you can check out some more excerpts, reader comments, and the contents.

There is no print version yet - but since you deem it useful for getting guys unplugged, I'll be working on it.

It has taken me three years to research and write the book - and this is in addition to being actively involved in (gender and other) politics for two decades. It is highly consolidated, and should give anyone a clear overview, as well as a deep understanding of the gender dynamics. Nonetheless, I've put a very low price tag because I want many men to read this - for the good of themselves, their fellow-men, their children, and society as a whole. If you guys fell it worthy, you can contribute by writing a review (even if it's only a couple of lines) on Amazon.

Seems to me that literally everything they're describing is the opposite of TRP. Every story is some beta fucking moron attempting to use game or TRP philosophy and ending up wayyyyyy in over their head.

But hey, if that's what they think TRP is, then they'll have no idea what hit them when they meet an actual alpha. I suppose that's the point.

"Let your plans be as dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt." Sun Tzu, The Art of War

Reminder that YouTube is Google.

The lastest and greatest masculine technology is blockchain (bitcoin) and Bitchute. This technology is the future of the internet. Go there, make a channel. Videos are being automatically moved there from YouTube every day.

Furthermore, Google censors and observes all your data on Chrome. I'm not even gonna fuck around here. Opera has been better than Chrome for years. Tab Music controls, On-Click VPN, Norwegian company. There is no reason you shouldn't be using Opera already.

If you value the male-only space, do yourself a favor and separate from these parasitic companies that have fallen behind in the technological bay area bubble.

Excellent stuff. You can't go wrong with Epictetus or Marcus Aurelius. There are no better men for RP guys to read, and 'read' is one of the edicts of TRP. There are some great modern books that should be on every man's reading list: Jack Donovan's The way of men; Robert Greene's The 48 Laws of Power and Mastery; Rollo Thomassi's The Rational Male; Ian Ironwood's The Manosphere: A New Hope for Masculinity; Robert Glover's No More Mister Nice Guy; Adam Leonas' The Empress is Naked (new, not finished reading it yet, but definitely worth a read); Athol Kay's Married Man's Sex Life Primer (for those in LTRs); Sebastian Marshall's Ikigai; Joe Navarro's What Every Body is Saying; Olivia Fox Cabane's The Charisma Myth: Master the Art of Personal Magnetism; William B. Irvine's A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy; to name a few that have influenced me a lot.

But let's not forget the classics. Sun Tzu's The Art of War; Epictetus' Enchiridion and The Golden Sayings of Epictetus; Marcus Aurelius' Meditations; Seneca's collected works, especially the letters. I would add some Nietsche, the Tao Te Ching (the annotated translation by Stefan Stenudd is very good), Chuang Tzu Inner Chapters, and something on existentialism, eg the Teach yourself book by Mel Thompson and Nigel Rodgers.

Great video on a similar topic by Julien Blanc

It's a book review of "The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles" by Steven Pressfield.

Highly recommended read!

I'm using these. Both apps has the same dev, so the functionality of them are nearly identical. The cool thing is you can set up a daily scheduled backup, exp. at 1am, saved out onto the internal storage, or uploaded to dropbox/google drive.

Found this gem in there straight from a horse's mouth

> So for the nice guys out there, my advice is this: It's great that you're nice (to an extent), but have some backbone. Don't be a spine donor all your life. When your girl is out of line, say something. Don't let her walk all over you. Occasionally, be a "bad" boy (being bad doesn't translate to abusive or criminal). Say "No" to her sometimes. Raise your voice and be heard. Say something dirty/sexy to her occasionally. Drink a few too many beers and piss out in public. Smack her ass. Don't ever use the word NICE to describe things, especially sex (okay, that may be a personal pet peeve). Have an interest in at LEAST one sport (or pretend to). Drive 5-10 miles over the speed limit once in awhile. Run an old lady off the road just for kicks (yeah, I'm kidding about this one... just ride her bumper for a few miles). Be aggressive during sex. Take off those damn white socks and Jesus sandals. Grow a goatee for a few weeks. Shave your balls. Stray from your routine and shake things up.

TRP teachings no?

Law 52 (in my list) : Create your own kingdom

(Because no matter how hard you try, you will never have all your power playing someone else's game in some else's place).

This would have been rather obvious once upon a time, and civilization was built on this law, but the very fact it needs to be stated to a man is concerning.

Ok, no one's asking for a total disruption of modern civilization (it's kind of fucked up as it is), no one's telling you to be a poor team player either (cause no one can do everything in isolation), but a man must have an aspect of his life that he owns, in which he's king, and he pulls his load.

Modern society in that regard behaves like a cult - one defining feature of any destructive cult as per Steven Hassan (https://www.amazon.com/Combatting-Cult-Mind-Control-Best-selling/dp/0892813113/) - is that cults tend to reverse age fully functioning adults back into a childish state of dependency and validation (he calls it reverse aging, we know it as betaization) where they're enslaved to authority and can't think for themselves.

A man is meant to come full circle from a boy.

Is there any doubt at this point that feminism is being used to break down the family unit? Is there any doubt at this point that the protocols are real? Daily reminder to read these books:

Great article.

Charles Duhigg, author of 'The Power of Habit', says that every habit consists of three parts:

1. Cue - Leaving gym clothes by the bed
   
2. Routine - Go to the gym
   
3. Reward - Feel good after the workout from endorphins/anandamide

He recommends temporarily using an artificial reward like chocolate until the intrinsic reward (like feeling good after a workout) becomes enough to drop the chocolate.

Your strategy is similar, but instead of using a temporary reward, you bring the future intrinsic reward to the present. It seems like this could have advantages over using an artificial reward.

How to create a habit: With Charles Duhigg and Ramit Sethi

First off, stop whining you fucking baby.

Secondly, you're 206lb and 5'9" at 25? You only have to lose 5 pounds a month for the next 6 months to have a fit body. Can you go 6 months without eating a burger while running 5 times a week? If so you can be in good shape. Of course you're not going to do that are you?

It's nice you want to learn a language. I've lived in several different countries and it's much harder than you might realize. You need about six months of continuous practice to be passible and you'll be garbage until month four. It's a lot harder than doing DuoLingo trust me.

Look, you can keep going from epiphany to epiphany your entire life looking for a magic pill. But the truth is your success is dictated by hard work. If you were able to speak a second language and were in good shape you would be able to get laid almost effortlessly. But that's 6 months of hard work.

Here this will help you out, I made a countdown timer for you. If you work out, eat right, and study a language come back here in six months and tell me if you'd make a little bitch post like this again

Good luck

There's waaaaaay more to this than you've covered, everyone in this thread would be wise to read "Learned Optimism" by Martin Seligman, the man who pioneered this research and from it erected the field of positive psychology.

Economics in One Lesson is available for free on mises.org and it's a pretty short book.

It is a classic, published in 1946 with fresh lessons learned from the Great Depression and WWII. There's a reason they don't teach you this stuff in school.

Basic Economics is a more dumbed down book, more modern (2000). It's also written more as a defense of capitalism. It's also over 600 pages, but not very dense.

How an Economy Grows and Why It Crashes (2010) by Peter Schiff is also another good one. And it has pictures!

See: Stanley & Danko, "The Millionaire Next Door", 2010
https://www.amazon.com/Millionaire-Next-Door-Surprising-Americas/dp/1589795474/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499188868&sr=8-1&keywords=the+millionaire+next+door

This is the first chapter in How To Win Friends and Influence People:

1. Don't criticize, condemn, or complain.

Human nature does not like to admit fault. When people are criticized or humiliated, they rarely respond well and will often become defensive and resent their critic. To handle people well, we must never criticize, condemn or complain because it will never result in the behavior we desire.

> Feminism has created a generation of sociopaths.

Mind fuckin blown. The Prince, The Art of War, 48 Laws of Power, Dark Triadism, amoral thinking, the Red Pill, and becoming a black knight.

All these I've come to love and add to the arsenal of my being over this past year. But why?

Because of the social landscape of feminism we as males live in that we've had to adapt to. And that's what our ancestors have always done. Adapt. Survive. Thrive.

But fuckin a man what does it even mean to be human when we have to dance through all these societal hoops that aren't our modus operandi.

We are the sex that has been warriors, leaders, generals, conquers, gladiators, mercenaries, cowboys, conquistadors, sailors, pirates, farmers, builders, carpentors, and on and on always able to be as great as our own ambition and worth that has been proving on many a battleground and metaphorical battlgrounds.

Now we are the greatest mental warriors in history all for pieces of pussy that have forgotten their place as our rib, our eve, our helper...

Sometimes I daydream about being born in an age where my life would have been nothing more than a warrior retiring to learn farming after years of service to a country to a familly that would appreciate my return to a life of agricultural hunter/gatherer simplicity.

Some things will never be the same but is it worth it?

I wonder.

Women also love the smell of risk.

When they see you have your shit together subconsciously they know you risked not getting bitches to do what you wanted your whole life. Beautiful fucking paradox If you ask me.

Anything that teaches stoicism is spectacular. I have heard a lot of good things about Meditations by Marcus Aurelius (although I'm not done reading it.)

For a while I was looking for instructions on how to actually meditate after seeing these types of posts where meditation clearly has huge benefits. Watched videos, read up on different types of meditations, read different instructions but for mindfulness meditation the best resource was Mindfulness in Plain English. Great read, no bullshit and gets you started right away. Highly recommended.

Frank Herbert, purveyor of timeless truths disguised in the clothes of fiction.

"Education is no substitute for intelligence."

"Seek freedom and become captive of your desires. Seek discipline and find your liberty."

"Governments, if they endure, always tend increasingly toward aristocratic forms. No government in history has been known to evade this pattern. And as the aristocracy develops, government tends more and more to act exclusively in the interests of the ruling class -- whether that class be hereditary royalty, oligarchs of financial empires, or entrenched bureaucracy."

"The gift of words is the gift of deception and illusion."

"Do actions agree with words? There's your measure of reliability. Never confine yourself to the words."

"Nature does not make mistakes. Right and wrong are human categories."

"The mind can go either direction under stress—toward positive or toward negative: on or off. Think of it as a spectrum whose extremes are unconsciousness at the negative end and hyperconsciousness at the positive end. The way the mind will lean under stress is strongly influenced by training."

"Confine yourself to observing and you always miss the point of your life. The object can be stated this way: Live the best life you can. Life is a game whose rules you learn if you leap into it and play it to the hilt. Otherwise, you are caught off balance, continually surprised by the shifting play. Non-players often whine and complain that luck always passes them by. They refuse to see that they can create some of their own luck."

"A person needs new experiences. They jar something deep inside, allowing you to grow. Without them, it sleeps- seldom to awaken. The sleeper must awaken."

"The purpose of argument is to change the nature of truth."

"Belief can be manipulated. Only knowledge is dangerous."

And that's just on the first page.

http://genius.com/J-cole-no-role-modelz-lyrics

J. Cole raps in characters and openly states that he is telling stories from different perspectives. In the song "No Role Modelz" that these lyrics refer to he is rapping from his own perspective as a rich succesful black person. He is speaking a very red pill message in this song.

> I want a real love, dark skinned and Aunt Viv love

> That Jada and that Will love

> That leave a toothbrush at your crib love

> And you ain't gotta wonder whether that's your kid love

> Nigga I don't want no bitch from reality shows

> Out of touch with reality hoes

> Out in Hollywood bringin' back 5 or 6 hoes

> Fuck em' then we kick em' to the door

> Nigga you know how it go

> She deserved that, she a bird, it's a bird trap

> You think if I didn't rap she would flirt back

In his second verse he talks about how he wants true love but all the girls these days are shallow with their pussy just wanting to give out alpha fucks basically and that trying to secure these women is a complete waste of time. He understands they are equivalent to hoes and he reminds his audience towards the end of this verse these girls are only interested in him because of his fame and that without it they would be chasing another alpha fux.

In the US, every taxpaying person pays about $3000/year to support these women. So over your lifetime, you'll pay about $130,000 to support single mothers.

Source: the table at the bottom shows, highlighted, the amounts we spend on poor children, the bulk of whom are from single mother households. About $394 Billion per year.

122 million taxpayers in the US: http://www.ask.com/government-politics/many-u-s-taxpayers-d77a9265390f4bdb

You pay the same as if you had one child and the mom was awarded $600 per month in child support for 18 years.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” ― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

Fantastic post OP. There's a relevant book called 'The Power of Habit', which breaks down in a pretty detailed way the process of building or eliminating habits.

Check it out if you haven't already. Here's a decent summary for those interested in the subject.

Everything you need to know about Shanley Kane is in this article: https://medium.com/matter/speaking-up-every-fucking-time-a61a24aa7629

I've worked with her personally. She has been a failure at every company she's worked at (Apigee, Basho, ...) and eventually decided to blame her own lack of success on this mystical "patriarchy".

As a general point on finances I'd encourage all men on - Begin investing as soon as possible. Essential reading: The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham

I'd throw in The Power of Habit. It's not directly on that topic, but it's a primer on where those techniques come from.

For products you don't desperately need, you use them based on mental triggers: When X happens, use Y. When out of Y, buy more.

It's also a good primer in how to notice these cycles and disrupt the ones you don't want to be in.

Part three will go more into what the step-by-step process looks like.

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck by Mark Manson goes deep into building self-awareness, fantastic book.

Thinking, Fast and Slow is written by Nobel prize winning psychologist Daniel Kahneman and shows you many of the mistakes that the brain makes, reading it will seriously help you understand your own mind. The writing style isn't the most fun to read, but the content is brilliant.

This post is flat out wrong and I just wanted to analyse it as well as tear apart it's preconceived notions with the following comment:

1. You ARE special. Every day I wake up and remind myself I am the One. That I have a mission in life: to maximize my potential as well as contribute to my community. As Kanye would say, "there a thousand yous, there's only one of me."

2. Looks DON'T matter for women, and I have the science to prove this. In Models by Mark Manson, he describes how they have conducted numerous scientific studies to discover what attracts women and the jury is still out.

3. Shit tests may not end, but they do subside. Stop being paranoid and think she is going to abandon ship at the first sign of Chad pointing his dick at her. Have some faith here, women can be loyal.

4. Having kids WILL end well and if you disagree, well goodbye to your genetic lineage.

5. Do TRUST what the majority concurs on on TRP. There's a reason certain advice is so popular.

6. Society as a whole is IMPROVING. Never has there been a better time to be alive. I wouldn't trade my spot now for any other time in history.

If you don't like my points think of me as a devil's advocate.

A story in regards to "specialty" - that will help explain this a bit to you. All of this is explained in the ONE book I highly, highly recommend: "Think and Grow Rich"

I drive the 2nd coolest car in the world (SLS AMG). Guys will run up to me in the car and ask, "What do you do?". The real question they are asking is "How do I get a car like this?". Since they take the initiative to run up to the car, I recommend to them the above book.

The cool looking black kid collecting grocery carts in the parking lot comes over and asks the question. I tell him about the book and he asks a few more questions. I explain he doesn't need to know more about MY background. His million dollar idea will come from HIS background.

I said, "Look, you know WAY more about grocery carts than I do. If you have an idea that makes them work better, roll better, feel better in a customer's hands, keep groceries dry when it rains... I don't know what the idea is... but YOU will know it, because you know this business, not me. "

"Let's say the improvement costs $1 per cart, but you sell it to the grocery stores for $2 per cart. You make 1 dollar per cart. How many grocery carts are there in this state? In the country?". And you get $1 from each one? What color will your car be? "

So your million dollar idea will be unique to YOU, coming from your experiences. Learn as much as you can about as many things as possible. Then you will have the pieces you need to make something never done before.. .

... and that is worth $$.

Always burn recruiters.

If you are a freelancer they are basically your enemy. Here's a short list of why:

• To them, you are necessarily a disposable, replaceable resource.
• They are usually rewarded when you to sign the contract, not when you finish it.
• They have already committed to the client how much they are going to sell you for, and their job is to increase their margin by whittling down your price.
• You are not applying for a job, they are trying to sell you a contract.
• Unless you are unskilled labor, You Are The Prize.
• There is a high chance that they are not in a position to actually offer you the job, since they are bidding you against other candidates. They are kiting the opportunity by saying they have something to offer they really don't.
• They lose their power once you have interviewed with the client, except in rare exclusivity cases.
• I have switched recruiters during a bid (withdrew one, then bid with a competitor) and not only did I win the gig, the company I withdrew from still approached me for gigs afterward. Like plates coming back after you leave them, but never the other way around.

Sure there are good recruiters out there, but like relationships for women, it's just business.

If you are getting into contracting, first read Getting to Yes . You cannot begin to appreciate how retarded you actually are if you have not read this book, which every serious MBA and law school grad has to read.

The money isn't in contracting, it's actually in recruiting, since you are buying and selling people who need jobs. Play the contracting game for a bit until you understand it, and then realize that the real bank is made as the middle man.

I would also recommend http://www.codeacademy.com for learning programming skills easily. That or https://www.duolingo.com for basic understanding in other languages.

Both of them and KhanAcademy are great resources for self improvement.

Great list, OP! Haven't heard of The Attraction Code, so I'll check it out. Would also highly recommend Models by Mark Manson. Great book about attraction, and also a critique of the PUA industry. Covers what they got right/wrong. Very interesting read.

Description of self obsessed social image skank checks out. Every day a new selfie on her instagram (https://www.instagram.com/oliviaculpo/) This is one of my red flags for dating women. If she has tons of selfies or post to social media at least once a week - do not date. Alsoo she frequents Dubai Biggest red flag you can get...

I really recommend reading about the ancient art of stoicism; it has helped me greatly.

Start with "A Guide to the Good Life" by William B. Irvine, which takes the philosophy developed by Epictetus and other ancient stoics and explains how to utilize this practice in a modern context.

I'll openly admit to not taking action as far as going out and getting laid goes, but I am taking action when it comes to fitness, diet, procrastination, porn overuse and other bad habits. Currently on antidepressants but my mood is getting better every day, so hopefully I can drop them in a couple of months. A day for me is basically:
Wake up
Go for a 40 minute treadmill session
Do my best to study instead of procrastinating
Do these things inbetween studying and (healthy) meals: Read redpill stuff online, or read a physical book (The Power of Habit etc.), or as little as possible, play video games.

So I can say that I'm definitely guilty of feeling some sort of satisfaction just by reading, and I'm definitely still pretty much a loser. But at least things are getting better. A year ago I was just sitting here masturbating, eating pizza and blaming brain chemistry. Sure, clinical depression is very real, but I believe many many cases could be cured with a bunch of healthy changes to daily routines.

I'm just gunna jump in here and provide a summary of this absolute gem of a video. Rollo speaks with a conservative Rabbi in an effort to anchor his belief that his white Anglo Christian Masculinity is somehow biblically grounded.

Instead the Rabbi tells him that unlike Greek/Roman/Christian masculintity which is focused on the material/body, Jewish masculintity is focused on the intellect and spirit. In otherwords they are diametrically opposed. This very important point is glossed if not completely ignored.

However this last point is very important for the men here at Red Pill. Jewish women were so jealous at being exuded from the deeper parts of religious study that they ran off and started their own religion called: Feminism.

Scott Adams shows a similar approach in his book "How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big." Basically instead of being a goal-oriented person, it is better to be a systems-oriented person.

You can take it all the way back to Uri and Fischer's Getting to Yes, published in 1981. Among other things, they talk about BATNA: Best Alternative To a Negotiated Agreement.

It is very RP. The point is that you must have options, and the better your options are, the better deal you can get for yourself because you are always willing to walk away from any situation that will not improve on what you already have waiting in the wings.

If you go into a job interview, your sparkling resume is less important than having another employment offer in your back pocket.

It's a disgrace that boy scouts are so vehemently shamed nowadays. Meanwhile girl scouts are using young girls to sell cookies for $700m profits per year and simultaneously causing a PR nightmare for any other cookie companies trying to compete (at half the price even) during their sale season.

I used to think it was worthwhile to date girls who traveled. Now it is painfully obvious they travel so they can cock carousel around the world. They're just looking for their latest profile picture and their work ethic is often shit.

The Art of War teaches to know your enemy as well as you know yourself so you know how to defeat them.

Argument winning 101 starts with understanding your opponents argument so you can sympathize with their rationale, but offer reasons why their solution is wrong.

Red pill teaches us to be knowledgeable, to be dominant, and to be leaders. You don't get that way by ignoring what people you don't like are saying. You get that way by understanding their position. Remember, most red pill guys were once blue pill and now see the light. No one would ever be recommend this methodology if no one paid attention to them. Coming here to discuss it helps the rp masses understand what's going on out there.

That said, there is a significant difference between discussion and analysis, and whining. The latter is complaining about something you have full control over. The former aids in increasing knowledge to understand the world around you.

I wish there was a website or something dedicated to summarizing the content many of these books.

I've read quite a few on the list, particularly by Robert Greene who was always entertaining... but the failing I always run into in commercial books is that material is always stretched out and repeated to make it sell-able. A ton of self-help books try to snag you further into the author's brand as well. Most people wouldn't pay money for a concise 25-50-page book but it's what I always hope for rather than the endless repetition of concepts.

On ultra popular books like The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People I go to amazon and look at the top rated critical reviews first so I know the credible pitfalls (no system is perfect). Then google gets me an overview.

I don't like 4 hour body though or the 4h anything. It's good if it gets you started though. But in the meantime, a lot of the info free online is better, vetted, and more grounded (particularly fitness focused subreddits).

I actually got that quote from Models by Mark Manson. It's a quite amusing story, and yes it is bad advice for picking up women, but for the purposes of embracing outcome independence it is a useful tool.

whereas most conservative arguments stick to factual and logical reasoning.

When the Republican Party gets back to ACTUAL Burkean Conservatism then you might have a point. But the current incarnation of "Conservatism" in American politics is not conservative at all. The entire Republican party doctrine is no longer based upon factual or logical reasoning as you put it. The entire Right to Life faction is completely rooted in emotion. Climate change has almost unanimous consensus in the Scientific community yet damn near every Republican denies it. Is that logical reasoning? Is it logical thinking to govern by crisis continually in order to try to extract concessions you'll never be able to obtain?

Conservative Columnist David Brooks says it all It took a thousand small betrayals of conservatism to get to the dysfunction we see all around. When a party actually reverts to the true Burkean principles of Conservatism I might come back into the fold. Or at least I would consider voting for them based upon merit.

TRP is very much about cold hard logic and cold hard facts (just look how much the left hates us and the way they try to demonize us)

Certain factions of the left. Not all, as is witnessed by the literal DOZENS of us liberals here. :P

Sidenote: the author is a lesbian.

Skimming the article OP linked, I think she even made sure to write it in a way that allows for that partner who dominates her to be a woman.

Dear God, The Bravehearts, they took a great concept and perverted it.

Funny thing is, I'm also in a men's group called Bravehearts. We meet every second week. The basic idea is that of the mastermind group (Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich), except that we focus on the lessons from The way of the superior man by David Deida.

The group is lead by a leader for four session, after which he selects the next leader. I was selected to lead this month, and I can tell you one thing: leading grown men is not a walk in the park.

The idea of having men's groups is good. The purpose and content of a group is what defines it; have a clear and well defined purpose, work on having quality content, and you could have an amazing group of red pill men.

I understand, but you don't have to be a jerk. And you don't have to be a beta bitch either. We all have an AF/BB balance. But that balance is constantly fluctuating (I.e. You starting out Alpha, ending Beta). The idea of frame is to lock in your AF score, not by being a jerk per say, but having your own core values so strong that some mere woman can't shake them.

People who focus on themselves, and make themselves #1, come off as "jerks" to women because they won't fall for their little fucking games to make them more committed. On the flip side, there are actual assholes out there. Do you want to be an asshole? Will that make you happy?

On your reading list should be a book called Models by Mark Manson.

Edit: You should always be improving your AF score too. Lifting, style, etc.

Actually men inherit familial wealth and status (though some of those turn out to be dimwits), and it's a better predictor of future success than simple effort or education, though the best predictor seem to be cognitive control which is "frame" in a more general way.

I think George W. Bush would be manning a gas checkout counter (badly) somewhere if it weren't for his family.

This is an important topic that will likely go untouched due to this forum's affinity for morals.

The simple fact is, violence has been an effective tool for gaining and maintaining power for as long as humans have walked the earth. The very threat of violence keeps our society functioning. Violence is the most primitive and most easily understood form of power.

There are some things to consider, though, when it comes to physical violence. In The Art of War, Sun Tzu effectively states that if you're fighting a war, you've already lost in some form. He repeats the sentiment throughout the book that fighting should be a last resort, that it's much better to turn enemies into allies, and that more subtle forms of warfare should be explored before war is considered.

In our modern society, we rarely (in comparison to ancient times) see situations devolve into a need for physical forms of violence. The game is played at a higher level these days.

Manipulative and deceptive tactics offer us far more than physical violence can. After all, one of these forms of violence gets you sent to prison, the other often rewards you with the corner office, a hot piece of ass, and material wealth.

Don't misunderstand, though. Violence in any form can be a means to an end if you're willing to take on the risks and consequences associated with it. I personally do not encourage physical violence for the simple fact that many use it far too liberally. Exhaust your other options first. They'll often reward you far better than primitive physical violence ever could.

> Fat Acceptance is really just a subset of the feminist movement.

In case anyone doubts this.

I love how they say they're pop-culture junkies. There's like, nothing in that term to be proud of. It's like bragging that you eat at McDonald's every day.

Rule #2 in Jordan Paterson's book 12 Rules of Life:

>Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping

I suggest OP reads the book if he hasn't already.

I would add, How To Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. The basics of human interaction.

The Definite Book of Body Language.

The Like Switch by Jack Schafer, a book written by an ex FBI agent on getting people to like you.

Getting Things Done by David Allen.

Total Recall by Arnold Schwarzenegger. His autobiography. Arnold accomplished so much. A great read to become the best version of yourself.

I've been married for 14 years and I agree with this with one concession; you should consider marriage when you're old. Being in a LTR is like you're trapped an a cage. Now my wife has agreed to me humping other women but it's still a fuck ton of work. Listen to Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich" as he describes the energy one puts into perusing women and how great you could become by focusing on other life goals.

My mum is a red pill lady, she told me that I ever had trouble at work, to never tell my woman at home. "youre supposed to be in control of that shit".

but what is the difference between this and the vulnerability that is central to Models by Mark Manson? He does say to not just spill out emotions for validation, that is has to a an honest expression. or do you guys not like that book in the first place?

Good idea. Not enough people take advantage of personal statements or mantras. Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill is a self-improvement staple and stresses the importance of such a mantra. Keep focusing on you.

Have you read Models by Mark Manson? He talks about using statements to further a conversation.

Instead of saying, "How's your summer in LA been?"

Say, "I bet your summer has been fucking amazing here in LA."

Whoever you're talking to will a.) contradict you and complain, b.) agree and give you details or c.) just simply agree. If it's c.) you can always talk about how it was fucking amazing for you, elaborate, or ask a question.

I notice that most people just ask questions in a conversation. This is the best advice I've ever received.

edit: to elaborate, Manson says clearly to make a statement about the other person. This is, guess about how they feel, etc.

SMS Backup+ does sms, pics, and call log. All in one app. I think it only works with gmail though. I have been using it for 4ish years and it works great.

The original quote is by Dorothy Parker. "You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think." She was given the word 'horticulture' during a game of Can-You-Give-Me-A-Sentence?, and the above sentence was the beautiful result.

Good 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.

The fat acceptance movement is a demand for more pussy pass. They want to make negative judgement of fat, ugly women politically incorrect. They'll pretend to not have a gender bias on this, but make no mistake, they don't give a shit about fat, ugly guys. Watch Fattitude.

What they're also attacking is men's instinctive reproductive strategy of seeking out beautiful women. They see that as a form of gender oppression that forces women into becoming slaves to beauty. "Weakening women and keeping them focused on something irrelevant so they can't be as powerful in the world."

So beautiful women are oppressed, and fugly women are oppressed. All men are all useless, except for the hot guys. That's the crux of it.

You are right. The reality of the sexual market place is particularly bitter to those who are naturally at the bottom. Fortunately for you, you were born a Man. Which means you can put your mind to work hard on overcoming obstacles, like this guy or these guys. Of course, there are still very few chances that hard work and dedication will entirely compensate for your issues, or allow you to go even further like those rare guys that are easy to use as examples, but the message is clear: there is no such thing as "no chance". And in any case, hard work and dedication to overcome will always leave you better off than giving up in the first place.

I believe this woman is to blame. She came on in 2011 when women's outreach funding exploded. Now that GNOME is getting bankrupted by SJW she decides to go somewhere else. She looks exactly like your typical FUF (fat ugly feminist)

You/anyone who found this interesting should read "No More Mr. Nice Guy" (https://www.amazon.com/No-More-Mr-Nice-Guy-ebook/dp/B004C438CW/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1529112172&sr=8-1)

It will give you a very in-depth understanding of the phenomenon discussed here (and various other connected ones). The book also contains actionable suggestions.

This'll likely get downvoted but maybe somebody will read it and learn something.

You can't short-change your sleep. The amount of sleep you need is entirely genetically determined. If you cut your sleep short, you build up what is called sleep debt, which inevitably must be repaid.

If you need eight or nine or even ten hours per night of sleep, you will get it, whether now or later. Don't fuck yourself over.

Edit: read this book: The Promise of Sleep. Some of the details are outdated, but the basic info still holds and it's very accessible.

The "Indefinite Quantity" is how Robert Pirsig describes Quality in his book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. "Quality is not something you believe in, Quality is something you experience."

He equated Quality to the Tao:

> The Tao that can be completely explained or expressed in words is not the constant, eternally unchanging and true Tao. > > If the name of this Tao can be defined with words, then it is not the constant, eternally unchanging name of the true Tao.

When you see a work of art, you can't necessarily explain it or assign a quantity to it, but you can recognize its quality and share that recognition with others.

Now apply all this to your dick and you'll be swimming in pussy.

"improving" is an understatement. I remember calling you out on your writing (under another, older username), but now it's a real pleasure to read you. Take care not overdoing the obscure vocabulary and complex sentences though. Poets and academics will always like to show off their writing skills, but the writer who wishes to be read remembers that clarity and concision are what hooks a reader to his message. Check out Steven Pinker's The Sense of Style.

I'd highly recommend Mindfulness in Plain English. If you don't wanna buy the book, give it a read here:

http://www.urbandharma.org/udharma4/mpe1-4.html

I'm not particularly into Buddhism or meditation as a way of life, but using it to build mindfulness as a skill is incredibly useful for cultivating IDGAF and taking control of your emotions/holding frame.

I personally like Mindfulness or insight meditation. It's not about clearing your mind or only concentrating on one thing, but about becoming aware of all the things your mind does. The effects of this awareness are real: increased discipline, reduced anxiety, more peace etc. You realize most of your thoughts are just temporary noise-like fluctuations and treat them as such.

pdf: Mindfulness in Plain English

Metta meditation is also great for cultivating a great vibe.

Also the book "Wherever You Go, There You Are" has a lot of good insights and will enhance any quiet time you have.

The Feminist Lie by Bob Lewis is pretty good. It exposes it for the fraud it is in pretty good detail, as well as laying out the method and tactics feminists use to silence opposition and how to counter them. Well worth the read.

Thank you for the details man.

I usually download audiobooks and listen during workouts and long drives. Will definitely listen to Economics in One Lesson.

Care to explain why they don't teach some of the stuff in school? What particularly?

Personally I found Meditations one of the easier works to read, although I read it in Dutch (my native tongue) instead of in English; the English version was hard for me as well. I've heard good things about "A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy" by William Irvine. I don't know myself yet as I've just ordered it. Also, The Enchiridion contains short sections that are rather easy to read.

Hope this helps you start off. There are also numerous good blogs that can help you on your way like the Daily Stoic (https://dailystoic.com) and How To Be A Stoic (https://howtobeastoic.wordpress.com).

Take your time to learn and think about the stoic principles, they're well worth pursuing even though it's not easy in the beginning.

Ryan Holiday's book "The Daily Stoic" makes a lot of these same points. Especially congruent with Marcus Aurelius quotes. Stoicism has added value to myself because I did not understand how impactful emotional mood swings had been on my teenage years. That being said and like anything else, never take stoicism so far as to the point where you lose your personality.

About 90% of this guy's posts are about the video game Hearthstone.

Here's a few tips to staying safe for my less internet savvy red pillers out there. If you forget to use a handle and are somehow targeted, here's some steps you can take:

> Delete yourself from the "deep web".

You can go to pipl.com and search your name + location. It "aggregates" info, so you can follow all the links pointing to you that it shows in the results and request the removal of your information on those respective sites, along with any information of your relatives, family etc.

> Search your name, aliases and old accounts.

justdeleteme has a chart that shows you difficulty (and even ability) to remove or close different website profiles.

Some things that leave really big footprints on the web:

Website Domain WHOIS information that wasn't registered through a service like domainsbyproxy, etc.

Facebook profiles / posts without the right privacy settings.

google+ is notorious for keeping your picture + email address public for the world to see.

LinkedIn is really bad about this too.

Basically, pretend like you're trying to doxx yourself and see how far you get as a logical human being. Please feel free to add to this list. SJW's/antifa are misled, delusional chicken shit cowards and thrive on subversive tactics, so there's no better offense than a good defense.

I came to understand that the answer is an implicit one. Once you stop asking yourself the question, you know you have the answer. Having the answer means that you feel how what you do is who you are. There is no larger than life achievement. Life is the meaning of life. Live to live, act for the sake of the act. - Basically what Aristotle already described in Nicomachean Ethics.

The practice of romantacism came to be after the Industrial Revolution. Before, children completely depended on their parents until a late age. In addition, it was normal to stay home in a multigenerational house. Living on your own for its own sake wasnt as common. For this reason, the father had control over the families.

-

If a daughter wanted out, she needed to be married first. If a son wanted out, he would need a donation and some farmable land to get him started (strings attached, usually marriage).

-

Once the Industrial Revolution began in the 18th century, the middle class was born. Children, especially women, could now acquire income and assets outside their parents control (money is freedom). With this freedom, people slowly put practicality aside and went with their feelings instead. This idea of 'romanticism'.

-

Romanticism isn't going anywhere. Government and business makes way too much money on maintaining the concept.

"All great events hang by a hair. The man of ability takes advantage of everything and neglects nothing that can give him a chance of success; whilst the less able man sometimes loses everything by neglecting a single one of those chances."

I can bet that she had her chances to date an older, financially secure man, but because he didn't have the same fire as the young athletic men around her she threw the opportunity away in order to sleep with them. Now she classes herself as wise because she knows what she did wrong. She has to glorify herself even after her bad decisions.

Reminds me of this revolting picture that girls use to rationalise their actions.

> For a man who hasn't entirely given-in

Even mgtows achieve self-respect. In a sense their "fuck the world" response is a necessary act of psychological self preservation. Build a tower out of solipsism and schadenfreude and watch the world burn.

> "The good fighters of old first put themselves beyond the possibility of defeat, and then waited for an opportunity of defeating the enemy. To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself. Thus the good fighter is able to secure himself against defeat, but cannot make certain of defeating the enemy. Hence the saying: One may know how to conquer without being able to do it." -Sun Tzu, The Art of War

Read Models by Mark Manson. Learn the difference between true and false confidence. It is possible to get laid being yourself and everything else is performing and ultimately low confidence. The way of the superior man says the same thing but with completely different terminology. Both of these books are recommended by endorsed users here

What you are describing is the classic dramatic structure of a hero's journey. There is a whole science for this, called Mythology.

If you want to explore this further, you should read Joseph Campell's The Hero with a Thousand Faces, and Christopher Vogler's The Writer's Journey

The collective unconcious is triggered with these stories. Check out Carl Gustav Jung's theory on that. I recommend very much to read this Wikipedia-Article . Once your brain wraps around this theory, it is mind blowing.

For RP discussion, it is especially important to consider Anima and Animus . In the unconscious of a man, he finds expression as a feminine inner personality: anima; equivalently, in the unconscious of a woman it is expressed as a masculine inner personality: animus.
