I'm 25 and have adopted many aspects of trp for myself. I work in a masculine industry (white shoe) and work with highly educated and ambitious peers (read: high income). The rat race has led me to view some aspects of life as a competition - a battle of the strong and weak.
I'll get disappointed and (un-noticeably) frustrated if my gym partner decides to skip out of pure laziness (would rather play League). I also find myself unconsciously looking down on people who have squandered their opportunity to succeed (like a childhood friend who was raised well but became a drug dealer and burger flipper at 25). With respect to obese male friends, I can't help it but think of them as oafish and weak because they are throwing away their physical primes and are just lazy and degenerate. Npw I only want to be surrounded by people who are very driven and well put together.

Just focus on your own journey. You cannot control the actions of other people and therefore should not spend any energy on it.
BlkLeatherCouchActor 5y ago
Can confirm. I am on my own journey, i dont spend any energy on others thoughts of me.
SilenceOnTheWire 5y ago
I think there's a difference between a useless slob and someone who while not conventionally successful, is successful in their own way. Climbing the social hierarchy isn't always the wisest solution. You could be just chasing a carrot on a stick that's being held by someone else.
exscionewhuman 5y ago
The only person you should compare yourself to is your past self. You never know what someone else is going through in their journey but you can know yourself.
Once you get past thinking you are special or better or people are beneath you the only thing that is left... is to share and teach and help others. Nothing else in this life has any lasting meaning or value.
Imagine you were the best person on the planet and everyone else sucked. What a lonely existence. May as well work on bringing others up to your level.
Project_Zero_Betas 5y ago
I find myself giving less and less of a shit what other people think of me, unless I have a romantic or professional interest in them. I no care.
iwviw 5y ago
That can be a cold dark life but a “successful” one. We live in a capitalist world and it isn’t changing any time soon so I get this outlook but it’s cold and dark. I understand The reality is that we all do use each other and I see that you would want to only care about people who are “useable”... also what I’ve found is that you get more babes and more $$$ the more usable you become. It’s all about what so we have to offer, and building ourselves up means we have more to offer others. What I’ve learned is that even obese people can be used. You don’t want to turn into a robot or zombie or dark sith evil person either. Have you ever read how to win friends and influence people? I don’t think that only Machiavellian people are successful, you can be successful and you can be an alpha and not be a douche.
Project_Zero_Betas 5y ago
No, it's because I'm a fugly male but AAF and so beta males think they're better than me simply because they're better looking, and they inevitably become jealous and resentful of the fact that I attract both more and higher quality girls than them. It's a matter of weeding out the bullshit in my life, nothing to do with the profit motive.
HumanSockPuppet 5y ago
Good. Surround yourself with people who support your mission, and who you aspire to be like.
There's nothing wrong with elitism. It's the idea that "better" is preferable to "worse".
Granite_Pill 5y ago
You have a lot of growing up to do.
CanadaLovesTrump 5y ago
Part of growing up is realizing that there is a problem - which is why I sought advice.
sanos7 5y ago
Yeah.
I see it as a natural consequence of doing better in life. At the same time it’s been a mental shift necessary to actually achieve more success in life. So a cause AND effect.
To really transcend the level you come from you have to start thinking differently. Like the people in the level you wanna be at.
And once you start achieving it, you start getting why the people at that level think the way they do. You work hard for your shit, why should you have to part with it? Why are you being taxed heavily so other people can get hand outs. In the end it’s not helping them either. It makes them weak.
And then you find yourself being elitist after having been an average person your whole life. It’s in line with nature. Surival of the fittest.

Elitism is a conspiracy theory made up by losers to try to explain why people prefer winners.
Hsnbrg501 5y ago
Not necessarily. Winners, in and of themselves, aren't the problem, so much as those who do nefarious things with their money. But I get what you're saying.
RedKnightTime 5y ago
Case in point.
BurningOrangeHeaven 5y ago
In my view its dumb to look at others like that, not everyone has the same goals and desires in the first place. You'd probably look down on me in some regards but I on the other hand wouldn't even think about you in the first place.
Puta666Hola 5y ago
I relate to you about looking down on people who have opportunities to improve themselves but don't use them due to their laziness. I also don't care about other people as much as I used to.
bigboxguy 5y ago
I grew up in an extremely elitist area and trp actually humbled me a bit. I used to be a cocky shit. Now I'm less of a cocky shit who can back stuff up.
FiveStarTendieDinner 5y ago
Fuck everyone else and what they think. That's not elitism, that's a natural function.
SeasonedRP 5y ago
Warren Buffett advised that you should associate with people who are the kind of person you want to be. It's good advice. If you hang around with losers, you won't bring them up--they'll drag you down.
Whisper Moderator 5y ago
No, I came up with TRP shit as a result of my natural elitism.
Good idea. Don't hang out with losers. Failure has a splash zone.

forsaken_in_the_dark 5y ago
You sound like this dude who seems to be always outside the shop and asks for change. He likes to drink with his mates and talk about politics and how he would become the best prime minister.
Truth is that you are nothing and nobody gives a shit about you so why should you give a shit about someone else?
Just work on your mission.

I think having an elitist view is immature. It’s part of the journey though. You’ll grow out of it.
mallardcove 5y ago
I wouldn't call it elitist, I would call it disappointed. Part of the problem we are facing as a society, with the further encroachment of feminist and gynocentric agendas being shoved down our throats, is because men are laying down and taking it up the ass without any resistance.
So many men are content to resign themselves to a pathetic life of being a fat out of shape slob who is OK with the liberals and feminists stomping all over society and further emasculating men.
If men actually were strong and masculine and stood up for themselves, perhaps the New World Order and globalists wouldn't be making as much traction. Just look at New Zealand, pathetic.
sexykavu 5y ago
the problem is a lot of men aren't getting the proper role models and messaging. I totally get how normal dudes get lost and kinda just give up. They are just bombarded with utter BS their enire lives with no voice of reason
therandombiker1 5y ago
that is the sad true. you can't wake up if you don't know you're sleeping. you need someone you can trust to tell you that.
sexykavu 5y ago
I mean some people can, but as much as we don't like to admit it, we are products of our environment.

Watching it in technicolor, my one brother is on this path... The other I hope is seeing the light, some cool comments and he is back in training. :)
forsaken_in_the_dark 5y ago
It is in the interest of the elites to have men weak. First they took away weapons, then they will take away testosterone. This way no man will be a threat to the status quo.
Project_Zero_Betas 5y ago
But aren't some men part of the elite?
JewsFakeNews 5y ago
Exactly, they dont want competition.

Globalists/NWO. A neutered subservient species.
SoulRedemption 5y ago
I had this at the beginning but changed my perspective over time. I use to think "I know better". However, along the line I my humilty kicked in and came to the realization of inflated ego does nothing. Also the fact that I'd rather spend my "emotional bank account" on positive things rather than be frustrated about others.
Yougotredonyouagain 5y ago
As you continue to climb, you leave those that don't climb with you behind.
That's actually a mark of progress, things you once knew getting more distant.
Don't concern yourself with the ones who decide to camp on the first ledge and wait for a rope to come magically cascading from the heavens.
Somebody's got to wash my car and mow my lawn.
I just don't really think about them at all.
We all have exactly the life we want.

BlkLeatherCouchActor 5y ago
This is exactly why I left my "Friends" behind. They loved to smoke weed and waste their 20s. I loved self development and money.
iwviw 5y ago
Where’d you end up ? Curious
BlkLeatherCouchActor 5y ago
Alone for a while. But being alone isn’t a bad thing. When you free up space in your life, you have room to invite the right kind of people inside. The people you have around you will determine so much of the outcome of life over the long term. “You’re the average of the 5 people You spend time with the most”
iwviw 5y ago
I meant success wise... how long ago was your 20s?
highcaterpillar 5y ago
Whatever you do don't ever come off as arrogant, antisocial or condescending. Tough enviroments like army or business sometimes create men that are readable in terms of their views on other people.
Your aristocratic tendencies can alienate you. Keep it yourself. Everyone can be used, you can always sell some shit to them. Be like water.
tb0n 5y ago
I think I was elitist before TRP, I was just dead wrong that I was actually better than anyone. Now I know better and might actually be more humble, since I know I was once like these other guys.
rpisnotpua 5y ago
I find myself raising my standards (for others) as a result of raising my standards (for myself).
embracingtheredpill 5y ago
Why are other people your problem? You're not special, you're not enlightened. This is coming from someone in a better industry, more high income, rat racier than you. Fuck the race, do your thing.
resnine 5y ago
It's normal. When you start to grow others around you want to keep you like how you use to be. Beware the crab bucket. Because those who you don't cut out your life who aren't succeeding in life will try to pull you back to how they remember you.
InflatableRaft 5y ago
How can you call playing League lazy? Look at how hard these guys hit and how fit you have to be to play at the top level. Even if your mates are park footballers, it takes a certain amount of commitment to get out there and play contact sports.
