I’m gonna keep this short and sweet for you guys. No fluff or fanfiction-style overly descriptive sex paragraphs. Just my simple description of events and the knowledge I gained.
Back in high school I had severe oneitis for a girl (let’s call her Julia) and thought that being a nice guy™ was the way to win her heart. Obviously, it failed miserably leading to her rejecting me when I declared my love for her. We lost touch for the most part and a few years pass. In those few years I’ve gained probably 25 lbs of muscle, revamped my fashion, and have adopted TRP principles when dealing with women. All of these combined have made me a lot more attractive to them than before.
So this past spring break I was in Miami with a few friends when I get a text from Julia out of the blue. She saw my snapstory of me in Miami and it just so happens that she and her college friends have rented an Airbnb there as well. She invites me and my friends to go clubbing and crash at her house. We arrive at the Airbnb and I start flirting with a few of her friends. Not because I want to make her jealous but because why not. I could tell she was expecting me to be falling head over heels for her like back in high school but I really couldn’t care less. Yeah she’s still hot and all but I’ve fucked hotter at college.
We go out to the club, yadda yadda yadda, flirt and dance. I use TRP techniques like push/pull to make her even more interested. We all go back to the Airbnb. I scoop her off her feet once we get inside, take her into her bedroom, and we fuck. And while I’m fucking her I just start thinking to myself “THIS is what I spent months and months agonizing over back in high school? Below-average pussy?” Seventeen-year-old me would have creamed his pants if he’d known that a few years later I’d be fucking Julia with a fistful of her hair in my hand but all I was thinking was that it was nothing special. I think it was at this precise moment that I knew my viewpoint on women had changed for good.
I understand this is common knowledge to TRP veterans but for all the newbies out there with severe cases of oneitis listen up. Your mind is doing mental gymnastics to prove to itself that she’s “the one” or “special” when realistically there are 10’s of thousands of girls like her out there for you. TRP recommends going out and fucking other girls to deal with your oneitis because it works. Oneitis usually comes from a place of pussy scarcity so the solution is simple, increase your pussy supply by going out and fucking different women.
TL;DR: Get over your oneitis by fucking other women.
I understand I'm not really providing any new information with this FR but I think it's good to remind the newer guys on here of the basics sometimes. I don't claim to be an expert on TRP, and definitely I have a ways still to go. But when this happened I knew I had come a long way since my beta days in high school.

I never understood fucking your former crush. She wouldn't let you anywhere near her pussy when you were blue. And now that you improved yourself you bang her the first chance you get, validating her in the process. If the kitten didn't want you you shouldn't want the cat.
sezamus 6y ago
Beauty and bed performance do not have to go in parallel. Usually high energy, talkative girls are better in sex and this recompensates [me] that she might be 7 or 6 instead of a 9.
A boring sex is boring, no matter who do you have it with.

Alpha_Jedi 6y ago
I've been there myself, so this story hits home. I actually lost of V card to this girl I had bad Oneitis for, only realize looking back it was the worst lay I've had to date. But it's important to note that the causes of Oneitis are a scarcity mentality and the habit of building up a person in your head instead of going out and experiencing reality. Not always the easiest thing to share but thanks for doing so because it provides another use-case example for those in the community. Cheers.

Unless, as a guy, you really want children of your own, marriage - for a financially stable, independent guy - is all risk and little to no reward. Such is the society we have built.
And having kids? These days? No thanks.
theaspiringasshole 6y ago
Marriage? With a carousel rider who can't form a pair bond? No thanks. If a financially stable guy just had to, he'd be wise to put all his assets into an irrevocable trust beforehand so she has no legal claim after her inevitable pre-divorce case of the I'mnothappyitis.
NorthEasternNomad 6y ago
Got to be honest: I fail to see now why ANY financially stable guy, making it on his own, would ever so much as live with a woman, more less marry one, in this society. Too much risk, for too little potential reward.
But if you do it, do what my girl and were at one point talking about: pre nup, clearly stating "no alimony, for any reason, ever. For either partner. Period." At LEAST do that.

[deleted] 6y ago
It's the same with everything. And I used to have A LOT of friends and we would talk about this a lot so I have quite a bit of data.
It seems the male mind always wants more more more. Get your dream car, 2 weeks later, want something better. Apply this to everything. Girls, clothes, phones, houses, private jets...
The female mind however doesn't tend to do this. A girl can buy a C220d Convertible and 3 years later she still happy with it. A girl can be in a relationship for 3 months and be content, provided the guy is alpha enough. Whereas a guy will be atleast thinking about other girls, if not acting on it.
This is why in buddhism you realise living from the mind / ego is the root of all hurt. And slowly through meditation and living in the moment you unplug from the mind too.
TRP applies to more than just girls. Notice I said "used to have a lot of friends". Now I have none. And I am a lot happier!

rharrington 6y ago
I think that women do this more, sounds a lot like branch-swinging hypergamy to me. I’d argue female attraction is more about upgrading and not settling.
Men do it too, but the idealized version of love that BP sells is essentially settling. Men settle more than women do when getting into relationships.
Correct me if I’m wrong.
[deleted] 6y ago
People on this sub make it sound like a girl branch-swings literally every single day. It's not like that. Hypergamy happens yes, but not that quickly, if you are in the top 20% of men that 80% of the women are banging / dating / marrying.

It sucks that this cynicism is required to enjoy (to a lesser degree) what we craved so badly in youth.

But that's as good as it gets apparently

Although I don’t think that’s as good as it gets. It can be better with a proper patriarchal society where women have a general respect for men. Not ideal, but better.

That’s a really good point that’s not mentioned enough. Part of what kept my dick dry for so long in my youth was the misguided sense that cynicism would be “failure” on my part in some sense and that I could get some ass with my idealist approach. It’s a real double bind.
BlackCraneStoic 6y ago
It's either that or become an incel or get cucked into raising someone else's kids while playing the role of ATM. The idealistic feelings of happily ever after with your one true love are just a fantasy. One that destroys lives rather than fulfill them.
HannibalBacara 6y ago
I think that's something everyone struggles with when first swallowing the red pill. Dismissing the red pill as a bunch of bullshit is all too easy. You can just go back to your old way of thinking about the world and try to forget you ever questioned it while living in ignorance.
I still get sad about it at times. When I was younger falling in love with my "soulmate" and growing old together while raising a family was a dream of mine. And now that fantasy has been shattered for me. Took me a few months to fully come to grips with it in all honesty.
Ihatemoi 6y ago
This is so true. The world and human nature is not evil and bad per se. Nature is not evil, we define "evil" and "tragedy" by the damage it provoques to us. It is hard to forget all the idealistic expectations of love and relationship fulfillment, However, IMO it is even harder to live life with in ignorance, until one day reality hits you like a million bricks.
My best friend lives in that ignorance. He is 26, he just got his first GF a couple of weeks ago, he has never had a gf before, not because he never had the chance, but because he believes in his ideals of love and "one girl forever". He also does not intend to have sex with his gf (a 20 yo American girl) until marrying her. I just hope he does not get hurt. But sometimes it is the only way we can ever learn. Sometimes though, I would like to think like him and actually believe it myself.
Zanford 6y ago
Great field report. One of the best things about sex (with a particular girl or in general) is it gives you more perspective and you don't overvalue it as much. "Sex is only a big deal if you aren't getting any."

If a stripper tells me shes paying her way through medical school can I write off the money as an education grant?
Narcissist456 6y ago
LMFAO finally someone is asking the real questions around here...
ColdIceZero 6y ago
Naw, writing off a grant generally requires preapproval by the IRS before the transaction occurs. Instead, start a small business on paper, have her fill out a W-9, issue her a 1099, expense the money you give her as payments to an independent contractor on your Schedule C, then write off the net operating loss for your business on your 1040.
Edit: Jesus, this comment isn't tax advice. Don't be dumb and assume a question about the tax consequences of giving money to strippers on this sub is a serious question, because my answer sure as fuck isn't a serious reply. This transaction, as presented, cannot be deducted from your taxes.

Obviously that transaction wouldn't pass muster. Anyone who is publicly asking a question about strippers and taxes on this sub is asking a facetious question, which warrants a facetious answer. It's not bad advice if it isn't "advice" in the first place.
The fact that you felt the need to interject yourself into a conversation that didn't involve you, just to prove someone wrong, should concern you. On top of that, you missed the context of this situation, which means you may be prone to making the wrong inferences in other social interactions.
You may find yourself become more successful with people if you were open to being a little more lighthearted, instead of being like this guy

whataccent 6y ago
It's easy enough to trivialize oneitis, but one area I struggle on is how to deal with women appearing self-important. I can ignore them in the short-term, but there's always some who set their eyes a certain way, like they're used to getting what they want and having control. Do you just use negs?
MilkMoney111 6y ago
Just don’t give them what they’re used to getting. I wouldn’t even use negs. Narcissists love attention, good or bad. So don’t give them anything to work off of.
The biggest fear those types have are being forgotten or not being the prize if other girls are around. Ignore her and have enthusiastic fun with other girls. The girl could be worse than your oneitis in every way but one and that one way will be enough to make your crush’s plan ineffective. Say your crush is an 8. And new girl is a 6. But new girl has an amazing ass. Have no shame in being an ass man. Your oneitis suddenly can’t compete for your attention anymore when that ass is around.
HannibalBacara 6y ago
I don't use a specific technique per say but you just have to remind yourself that women are basically children and treat them as such.
So yeah she might be acting all self-important but don't acknowledge that at all and just treat her like any other girl.
Having that idgaf attitude is something I still struggle with from time to time because part of me somehow still fears it will kill my chances with a girl. Happens rarely for me now but still creeps up from time to time. Still a big improvement over how I used to be.
DopeIsMean 6y ago
having the 'idgaf attitude' doesn't mean you dont give a fuck about her, treat her like shit all the time and pay no attention to her ever. its a fine balance i think. it means that you hold frame, you are cocky and charismatic, charming and light hearted, and always put yourself first. because we all have put the "one"/woman of our dreams first and look what happens... we end up kicked to the curb and blocked on all fronts 99% of the time
OfficerWade 6y ago
Ok guys, good field report. The highlights are home runs in tbis community but let’s be honest sex isn’t a BAD or ShAMEFUL thing. Sure there’s no sunset or horse carriage to carry you away after it’s over which isn’t the point. Do it or don’t do it but get it over with.
Any women who will surrender herself to the animal nature of her body which is really forgetting your beliefs and ideas for a man to put his penis inside you takes guts. These girls deserve our respect. Not the ones on tv or in adds in the newspaper because their not real. The real women lay down with us every night. That’s why we love them. Don’t get it twisted folks.
Incel9876 6y ago
It doesn't take guts to let a man put his penis inside you, it takes guts to have made it through life only letting one man, your husband, put his penis inside you. As the saying goes, a key that opens many locks is a master key, whereas a lock that opens for more than one key is just a shitty lock.

You probably didn't miss that much. And the only reason I even made time for her was because she was the one who hit me up and invited me out.
When I could tell that I was going to fuck her that night part of me thought that I'd be amped to fuck my high school crush but it really wasn't that way at all.

Even a oneitis is just any other average woman. It's your brain tricking you into thinking she's something special (usually because you think she's unattainable) when she's just another female.

HannibalBacara 6y ago
It's definitely rough that first time your heart is broken. You almost feel physically ill, like there's this massive knot in your stomach.
It's very easy to just give up and fall into a pit of despair but real men pick themselves up, dust themselves off, and get back to improving themselves.
Trust me I know how you feel. I got oneitis for my first serious girlfriend as well. You feel like there's no hope that you'll ever find a girl like her again and that life is fucked.
But guess what? It's not. I've met women so much better than my oneitis in terms of not just looks but personality as well.
Just keep working on yourself and don't ever lose hope.
dixm855 6y ago

deltadevils7 6y ago
Sex is so hyped up in our society that is feels like you’re missing out tremendously when you’re not getting it. Truth is, it’s nothing all that special, and for the most part, women are interchangeable when it comes to sex. Chasing sex with a particular female is destined for heartbreak and rejection, so it’s best to cut that shit out of your life.
fade2clear 6y ago
Same thing happened to me. What I learned was that oneitis is really just a self reflection of your own insecurities as a man. The girl in question that you have oneitis for is a mental hurdle you've created to validate yourself and to ascend to some higher pecking order.
It isn't about the girl...get your priorities straight.
Morphs_ 6y ago
Well to add some background to your own story, 17 year old you didn't have experience with hotter women back then. So if 17-you would have fucked here there and then, he'd probably enjoy it a lot more than you did.
This is what I'm sort of facing now too. On one side it's sort of sad, since you missed out on a good experience when the time window was there for you to enjoy it most. But due to back luck and lack of skills and all, we missed that chance.
Now it's just a matter of enjoying what is being presented to us in abundance. At least your newfound stance towards her will make her all the more interested as you've seen.

BlackCraneStoic 6y ago
The knowledge means nothing if they aren't willing to go out and experiment with it.

I briefly dated a former oneitis and while she was resting her head on my lap during a movie, she looked up and I noticed a booger in her nose. She was the prettiest girl in the world to me until that moment. I remember the weird feeling of disappointment that I had that night. Even attractive girls go to the bathroom, get boogers, and have bad breath at times. If you are reading this and you have a crush, realize that they're no different than anyone else. Idealization just creates disappointment.
[deleted]
scissor_me_timbers00 6y ago
This is just the male version of the light switch effect. She sees you in the briefest moment of weakness and her attraction to you is instantly shattered.
If you cant get over a booger in her nose you’re operating on chick level. Not good man.
PlasticPlan777 6y ago
It was more about the human body being a decaying biological machine than weakness. It didn't make her weak, it just reminded me that we're all animals.
scissor_me_timbers00 6y ago
I know it’s not about the weakness. That the turnoff for females. When a guy sees some gross biological function of his girl, that’s a sort of equivalent turnoff. (Although it can run both ways).
But point is, seeing a booger in a girls nose is so trivial. You should be able to override such a minorly gross thing and not let it affect your enjoyment. It’s chick behavior to childishly not be able to override their minor turnoffs.
PlasticPlan777 6y ago
Well, it was literally ten years ago. It was during my oneitis as a teenager and I no longer think that way. My whole example revolved around oneitis as a problem, so I was basically implying that it wasn't a healthy mindset from the start. I agree with what you're saying. Hopefully, we can stop exchanging messages at this point. Cheers.

scissor_me_timbers00 6y ago
When it gets really weird is when you start experiencing a series of “meaningful coincidences” which you think means the universe is somehow conspiring to get you together. Fuuuck I dealt with that for a while in my youth with this one particular girl. And fuck me, there were some pretty strange coincidences that kept me thinking along those lines.
Never ended up nailing her tho.
qwerty8008135 6y ago
I have also felt those coincidences. It's amazing how the mind can truly believe itself. It's even more convincing than actual reality.
EyeOfTerror 6y ago
Yeah I know exactly what you mean, experienced it with my oneitis too. Guess it’s somehow the male version of the hamster.
scissor_me_timbers00 6y ago
I think it’s more than just the hamster man. When stuff in the real world outside your control starts happening in coincidental fashion it can make you question your model of reality.
Example:
I had severe oneitis for girl A. We worked at a restaurant together. Evidently girl A had a crush on me too and flirts fairly heavily, escalating the level of it. Friend of girl A at the restaurant organizes social events to get girl A and I to interact outside of work and possibly hookup. She’s playing matchmaker.
Girl A keeps giving me a wide open goalnet to escalate with her during these. I fail to reciprocate her continued flirtations because I’m a bipolar depressive basketcase at the time with no TRP knowledge. Even tho inside I’m deeply in love with her like a hapless beta. After months of my failure to escalate w her, she loses interest and grows cold towards me. No more interest.
New girl B starts working at the restaurant. Tells me she “saw my aura” and throws herself at me. We start fucking. Cool chick, pretty sexy, but I’m still engulfed in my oneitis for girl A. I tell girl B let’s keep our thing together a secret at the restaurant (I was clueless about pre selection).
Here’s the coincidence— my roommates could hear when I would be fucking girl B. And they talked about it at their work at a seasonal farmers market. Coincidentally, one of their coworkers they were chatting about this with happened to be the roommate and good friend of girl A, my oneitis. No one realized this connection til my roommates mentioned the name of the restaurant I work at, at which point they had a good laugh. Luckily my roommates did not know about my oneitis for girl A, they only knew I worked w her. We don’t live in a small town either. It’s a mid size city, so this isn’t just some small town effect thing.
So anyway, word of me pounding out the new girl at the restaurant with the sweet ass (girl B) finds its way into the ears of my oneitis, girl A, thru this weird coincidence backchannel, after she had gone cold towards me for 4-6 weeks.
Well surprise surprise, she starts flirting with me pretty heavily again, and our mutual friend revamps her attempts to try and set us up outside of work. I was still deep deep in personal dysfunction tho and could never capitalize.
But there were a handful of similar coincidences like this one that made me think there was something cosmic about my attraction to this girl. Forget girlfriend fantasies, i had full blown wife fantasies about her. She was the biggest oneitis I’ve had in my entire life. So imagine the feeling when she initiated heavy flirtation w you. ANd then events seem to conspire to keep her interested in you. Fuck me man. What a mindbender. Some new rando girl at the restaurant sees my fuckin aura and craves dick, and through a weird series of events keeps the oneitis on your hook.

What your story mostly tells is how certain TRP concepts work and women love popular dick. And yes, every guy has 'the biggest oneitis' at some point in life. It's the challenge to grow past that and see things for what they really are.
Two years ago I had my biggest oneitis, who happened to be a FwB for a while. I closely observed my feelings and noticed that when I was with her, all feelings of being in love would subside. I would feel "normal". The feeling of being in love was only present when she was not around. Like an extreme version of craving.
Now things are so much better. No more cravings due to abundance. Total freedom. More attention than ever.

Yeah I mean there’s definitely some TRP nuggets of wisdom in there which I didn’t fully grasp until later discovering this sub. The whole fling with girl B yielded several other insights.
But I should repeat, there were several other weird conicidences with girl A which just continued this idea in my mind that we were supposed to get together somehow. I just posted this one but maybe the way I told it dampened the effect. When it happened it was really quite mind boggling to me.
Morphs_ 6y ago
Yeah it's impossible to say for sure if it's the universe at work or mere coincidence. I tend to go with the latter, but in the end it doesn't even matter, it just happened this way.
scissor_me_timbers00 6y ago
I’ll give you three more coincidences:
First:
One time she was giving me a ride home from a party and I was picking the music. She said pick a Rolling Stones song. I scroll to Beast of Burden, and as my thumb is pressing the song she says “my favorite is Beast of Burden”. The song had not started yet and there’s no way she could’ve seen the screen.
Second:
after not seeing her for a while I had a dream about her. I head to the gym the next day and have a strong feeling I would see her there. Whaddaya know, she’s there. I had known she went to the same gym as me but I didn’t see her there frequently.
Later that week I see her from my car out with her friend. Then also that same week I go for a bite to eat at a restaurant, and a former coworker is serving me, who used to work with me and oneitis at the restaurant we met at. The dude brings the girl up out of nowhere. I had never mentioned my crush on the oneitis when we were all working together.
So now within one week that’s two random sightings of the girl followed by a random mention of her by an old coworker. As I’m pondering this, I think “she’s my fucking muse”. And I kid you not, 20 minutes later I pop open my email and get a new notification from a blog I follow about the importance of having a muse to fuel creativity and success.
Third:
One time I had to go to court for some bullshit and was really frustrated with it and vowing to myself to turn my life around, hoping one of the benefits of getting a grip on my mind would be finally nailing this girl. I had to appear in court twice. I get out of court the first time, sit down in my car and look at my phone, and there’s a text from Facebook that it’s her birthday.
Second court appearance, I pull up to park near the courthouse and her car is right fuckin there, two parking stalls away. I’m certain it was her specific car, it’s distinct. She was probably at some nearby shop.
Anyway it all feels like the universe dangling a carrot in front of me. Fuck me man. Sometimes I feel like the butt end of a cosmic joke. Other times I feel like the hero of a story I didn’t write, who may be fucking up big time or may be on track and it’s impossible to tell. It’s probably just my mental illness. But those coincidences I laid out really happened. I’m not schizophrenic.

This is purely psychological stuff. You remember the positives and forget the negatives. For example, you were probably thinking about her pretty much all the time. So whenever something regarding her would pop up, you would consider that a "coincidence". However, all the times you were thinking of her and nothing happen, you would forget about.
People do this all the time. Their filter insignificant events which creates a bias for magical stuff. It's the reason why some people think their clock always reads 11:11 or 12:34 or some shit.
People do it all the time. They add significance to events that others would describe as "happen by chance". So why is that? Well it is simply caused by
col_carillo 6y ago
This. To which I'd add that you remember these coincidences with your oneitis and forget them with other people. How many times do you open facebook and a random "It's XXX's birthday today!" message appears? Of course it's no big deal when it's anyone else, but when it's your oneitis, it's A SIGN FROM THE GODS. Umm, no it isn't. That's your mind playing tricks on you.
Look at it this way: what's so special about seeing her car a few stalls away while you're at court? If you saw her car at the grocery store, or at the mall, would it also be A SIGN? I'm guessing you'd say it would, which basically means anytime you see a car which *might* be hers, you're thinking it's some cosmic sign. Meanwhile, you don't even know what the rest of your co-workers drive, which means if they happen to be parked next to you, you wouldn't even know it, and if if you did, you wouldn't care or remember it for more than a few minutes.
There are no such things as cosmic signs. If you think the Universe in all its mighty glory and splendor really gives a flying fuck about the lovelife of some insignificant lifeform on some random planet in the outerboroughs of an unremarkable galaxy whose entire lifespan is barely an eyeblink in the history of the cosmos, then you're smoking something pretty powerful.
Here's the only coincidence you should be thankful for: you didn't tell your oneitis about your new relationship, and she still found out about it through someone else. That's the best way to reveal a new relationship, because, regardless of *your* reason for keeping it secret, in her mind, you did it because you could care less that she knew. If you had lorded your new hookup around her, she'd know you still had a thing for her. And when someone hears a story through the gossip mill, they fill in the gaps with much grander visions than you could ever implant. So in her mind your hookup wasn't just a fuckbuddy: she was your soulmate and you two are probably going to get married in the next month if she doesn't intervene to keep her orbiter around. Which is what she did. If you want to thank the Gods for a coincidence, thank them for this one. Not the other ones.

With the court thing, it was more than just her being on my mind. It was specifically that immediately before/after each of the two court appearances, she popped up. If it had been one of the two court appearances, I would easily dismiss it. But both?
It felt like the universe was using both the carrot and the stick with me. Having to go to court during a rough time as a reminder to start getting serious about getting my shit together (stick). But then providing a motivational reminder (carrot) by having a memento of her pop up for each court appearance.
I’m obviously skeptical of all this, but that’s how it struck me.
scissor_me_timbers00 6y ago
Haha yeah I mean I knew it was probably psychological stuff. Part of me posting was just the catharsis of carrying around such an absurd oneitis for so long. But over a period of several years, when a series of coincidental stuff happens regarding a girl you’re already obsessed with... idk it just messed with me. Thanks for your input.
And yeah the whole gossip nugget about girl B was one of my first TRP insights.

i know referring to works of fiction is frowned upon here, but in the movie Mud, the advice given on how to get over a bitch is precisely what you said, OP. Just go out and get your tip wet
Auvergnat 6y ago
What is frowned upon is taking works of fiction as evidence of human behavior. You're totally free to say "If you want an example of good game to emulate that follow sound pick-up principles, check out Ryan Gosling in Crazy Stupid Love" but if you'd be an idiot to say "Ryan Gosling's game in Crazy Stupid Love works because he got all those hot girls in the movie".
HannibalBacara 6y ago
I don't see why it should be frowned upon. Some of the most profound life lessons I've learned have been from fiction whether it be books or movies.
Avertus 6y ago
As long as you can somehow connect them to TRP principles I guess? I have the same concern with the rule against promoting political agenda, when TRP is formed partly in response to feminism
JamesP2018 6y ago
Because fiction did not actually happen, it is subject to the biases of the writer, the needs of the story, and finally the biases of the interpreter.
spoopyspam 6y ago
what if you respected her as a human being instead? or is that not in TRP tool set of being attractive?

You could also not be getting laid due to your attitude, Ik I wouldn't want to touch something that doesn't look at me as an equal
Also why does getting laid matter so much? Sex clearly means nothing to you so I don't see why you can't wait

spoopyspam 6y ago
But you're implying that being respectful is an attempt to get laid, when you should just be respectful and expect nothing in return. You just sound edgy, bottom line is you should be indifferent anyway because girls are humans, getting laid doesn't matter unless you're lonely and weak
DopeIsMean 6y ago
one can respect a woman without putting them up on a pedestal and ruining their lives.
spoopyspam 6y ago
id like to think that is common sense and doesnt require an entire subreddit dedicated to it
ThePlague 6y ago
One would think, but divorce statistics and male suicide rates say otherwise.
spoopyspam 6y ago
Lol if you kys over somebody you're the weak one
ThePlague 6y ago
All the more need for an entire subreddit dedicated to it. When it comes to pussy, men are weak. TRP gives a way to cope with that, to control that.
spoopyspam 6y ago
lol nope, if you cant deal with your inability to get a date and feel entitled to another persons genitalia just to "survive" youre pathetic and honestly dont deserve anyone.
Grow tf up and learn that youre just socially inept and unattractive, better yourself and be more confident and people will like you, bottom line
and that has nothing to do with TRP, this is just a place for sad single men to cope and act superior when in reality theyre the lowest of the low.
ThePlague 6y ago
Your suppositions are incorrect, hence the non sequitur conclusions are specious.
spoopyspam 6y ago
^ this is what I mean, you think he gets invited anywhere?

Congrats dude. Oneitis is a curse for every man. It will happen to you a few times in your life. It sucks. But you did a great job. Keep up the good work.
