I know "nice guys" is a very generalized term but I think in most senses of the word, those guys do finish last. Their inability to be confrontational or need to keep everyone happy puts them in a position where they're putting others before themselves. These guys may benefit society as a whole, but they're usually hurting themselves in the long run.

Halfjor 9y ago

I think a better way to put it is be a good person to those who are good to you. Your close friends, your family, etc.

Don't be an overly nice fucker to anyone you come across. It's very rare that I find someone who is really nice to feel genuine. Most of the time that supplication and chummy niceness is really off putting. There's only one guy I know that is incredibly genuinely nice. I don't know how he has the energy to do it, but its more about charisma and his interest in other people than being a little bitch boy.

zenRP 9y ago

I think it's better to strive to be a kind and patient person. Everyone in the world is suffering and going through there own struggles. It's not your job to fix their lives for them, but treating people in general with kindness shows wisdom and emotional maturity.

ROIVeritas 9y ago

but treating people in general with kindness shows wisdom and emotional maturity.

Agreed. But you'd better be strong too, because that niceness to everyone draws on you. When I'm nice to people, sometimes it's like they take a piece of me each time. That part of being nice, I hate.

femmefatalle 9y ago

Find your passion and figure out how to get paid for it.

Wrong.

Find what people want, monetize it, escape the rat race, find your passion(s), do them.

ROIVeritas 9y ago

Do what you love being shouted from the rooftops is EXACTLY what contributes to predatory lending concerning students and universities. Kids today have no idea how college debt and loans work, and they want to major in everything.

But when they can't get a job unless it's at Marshall's, I wonder if their passion will help them then.

thatstevelord 9y ago

I did this for about 6 years, and was wrong. Had my own consultancy, working my arse off trying to make more cash, stressed out ridiculously, pedaling like mad and getting nowhere.

Then I started doing things that I enjoyed. Restructured the consultancy around the idea that I should be paid what I'm worth, and that I should do what I want to do. Never looked back. The consultancy's never been better, I co-run a successful events company and I've just started a publishing firm that's already cashflow positive before the first book's even been finished.

Find your passions. Find people willing to pay for something relevant to them produced by passionate people. Do it. You'll never work again.

a_chill_bro 9y ago

Absolutely. However, there are countless markets out there and people can want a lot of different things. Some of those things might be aligned with a passion you currently have or one you don't yet know you have.

I would rephrase:

Find a passion with a well defined market that can sustain a business, monetize, escape rat race, etc.

A lot of people need someone to do their taxes. Do you necessarily want to do taxes for a living? Perhaps, but not me personally.

TheLife_ 9y ago

"Easy, I love making a lot of money and working short hours."

Good call. I know a guy who worked this way around and found that there was a hungry market for a bake ware specialty store. He drove so much business to the shopping centre that when he was about to move they gave him 6 months rent-free just to stay.

He hates cake, gyms with me and hires a casual to come in every Saturday and do baking demonstrations. He works a day job elsewhere and as long as the books turn more profit each financial year, he's happy.

loddfavne 9y ago

100% true. Play the market, don't get played.

passwordisnotdicks 9y ago

escape the rat race

How? Working your ass off for 5, 10 or 50 years while you find what people want and monetize it AND then doing what you want is a fallacy. There is no tomorrow. There is only now, so live your passion now.

trp_gremlin 9y ago

yep, how was the quote?

„There are only two days in the year when nothing can be done. One is called yesterday and the other is called tomorrow...“

Now that helps me fight procrastination.

_the_shape_ 9y ago

I'd say much of it comes down to a combination of your work ethic and the demand (and likelihood of 'making it' in whichever which field you choose to pursue - it takes a brutal level of self-honesty.

Let's say you want to be an artist. Fine. Do you have the self-discipline to draw and paint and create for often times far more than just forty hours a week? Can you market yourself? Are you good at networking? Where many of these people with a desire to "live their passion" tend to stumble is that they fail to realize that they either have to develop a very strong business sense and/or be prepared to put in two, three, four times as much work as the regular office drone puts in on a weekly basis. You can make up for what you lack in skill with a solid business sense, but it's much harder to make it on skill alone when you have little to no business sense. Also, is such a person prepared to face the fire of paying the bills on time with only their passion? It's one thing to "do what you love", it's another thing "to have to do what you love with extreme urgency or you'll starve, or get evicted".

boofbonzer81 9y ago

I love to snorkel and spear fish and generally being out in the ocean/forest. My dad is an RSVP of a multi million dollar company and its mostly interacting with low/high middle class people, which I am pretty good at. I just need an associate degree I believe, than I'm in a great position. What should I do?

"Millionaire Fastlane", changed my life.

Wrehddit 9y ago

I read about the first quarter of this book and it sounded like a crappy infomercial. I was always waiting for the actual advice to come but he was just bragging about how awesome he is. What's the main gist of what he says to do?

femmefatalle 9y ago

Fastlane concept to economics is what redpill is to relationships. Ironically most members of the fastlane forum are deeply bluepill and will be parted of their hard earned money fast enough.

ROIVeritas 9y ago

Oh.. the irony..

I think it's time for us men to start selling these rich women their own fat asses back to them.

They're dirty anyway, time for a good clean.

FrogTrainer 9y ago

When I was in high school teachers and counselors repeated the "do what you love!" line ad-naseum.

I was 100% against it.

I don't want to love my job, I want to hate it. I want to make money and GTFO. I don't want to work 90 hours a week. Fuck that. I want to get PAID and then go spend time with my kids. I want a job that lets me bounce at 2:30 PM so I can catch my son's soccer game or my daughter's dance recital.

pirisca 9y ago

such nonsense...you spend a significant portion of your day, thus of your life, working. would you rather spend that time doing something that you dont like? so funny.

FrogTrainer 9y ago

30 hours in exchange for a hell of a lot more money. or 90 hours to be a "starving artist" ?

Ya, that's funny.

blambox 9y ago

What? If you take a higher paying position you can retire sooner. And you'll develop skills you can apply to the second half of your life. I for one am not planning on working full time into my 50s and 60s.

[deleted] 9y ago

If you spend 40 years of your life 40-60hours a week doing something, you are eventually going to hate it. If I played my favorite video game for 40 years 40-60 hours a week Id probably end up hating it and be bored as hell. Why not choose something that pays the most and vent your anger in the gym after work.

If theres anything I have learned from TRP is that women are attracted to muscles and money.

"Rich Dad, Poor Dad" is a great guide to starting your own passive incomes, highly recommend it to anyone reading this.

ROIVeritas 9y ago

Thanks for this. I'm not even 30 yet, and I can't stand the office. It's like a feminist playpen, and they've got all the toys.

[deleted]

[deleted] 9y ago

Passive income is a great concept. Leveraged real estate is not for everyone and at some point you'll be spending all you weekends fixing broken toilets.

You'd be better off reading the Wealthy Barber.

newzealander 9y ago

Like I need advice from someone who had a rich dad.

Edit: Looks like I ruffled some feathers. Take or leave my advice but I'm yet to meet anyone who has made money from advice from books. The target demographic of books like this is not who you want to be.

-12

RedPope 9y ago

Book is about a dude who had a poor dad, but a rich dad later became his mentor. He contrasts the different advice the two dads had to offer.

WTF is with all the lazy, ignorant posts today?

[deleted]

newzealander 9y ago

Lazy? I went to a seminar run by the author of that book and his advice was that to get rich you should write a book. He makes money by convincing you he has secrets to make money. Congrats on falling for it.

-7

RedPope 9y ago

I think you're full of shit and trying to spin.

If you really had knowledge, then you willfully chose to make a stupid post. How is that any better? You could've posted your seminar story immediately instead of an ignorant one-liner.

Take your bullshit back to reddit. Contribute or STFU.

newzealander 9y ago

I haven't actually read the book, but in the seminar he made it sound like the rich dad was his actual dad whom he gets money and opportunities from. This is why I said the one liner. If his rich dad truly only gave him advice, then my second comment still stands that his advice was that his book was an asset, and you need to have assets. Was basically more on how to get richer rather than rich.

I'll just assume the book is better than his seminar cos honestly the seminar seemed like he rocked up 10 minutes late and spurted some random BS he thought up on the way there.

Edit: If you're interested the seminar was called masters of wealth and they had some other con artists up before him that had the crowd cheering and buying their books and packages at #specialprices. By the time he came up for the finale I was sold on the fact that my ticket had bought them all a new holiday home.

RedPope 9y ago

You haven't read the book you're criticizing. You paid to attend a sales pitch and you call others a sucker. Do you still dispute my diagnosis of lazy and ignorant?

I trust you learned from your mistake in purchasing that seminar. You're not likely to do that again. I hope you (and others) learn from your mistake in this thread. TRP is not the place for lazy one-line quips. They do not add value. They're just noise.

Wasn't my intention to single you out. I'm just vainly pushing back against the flood of low quality comments. When you have something of substance to contribute, take the time and make the effort. In this case, you actually did have some insight to share. I shouldn't have had to drag it out of you. That story should've been your post. We would've had an entirely different discussion.

For example: It has probably been 10 years since I read Rich Dad Poor Dad. I did not have the greatest impression of the book, more fluff than substance, but the core concepts had merit. However, you are not the first person I've heard claim that the author's work since then has been a blatant cash grab. Unlike the other charlatans, at least he has the honesty to admit it.

newzealander 9y ago

I understand my post was low effort, but I dispute you trying to figure me out by assuming a whole bunch of things from a few comments.

I was invited by a friend and I really just went to confirm my suspicion of it being a scam.

I suppose the first step is admitting it so here we go. Hi I'm newzealander and I'm a shitposter.

BlackHeart89 9y ago

I think number 5 is wrong.

I've taken women to the movies as a first date plenty of times. Sometimes I pay for them, sometimes they pay for themselves. I don't recall ever taking a woman to the movies and not being able to fuck her within a couple of days of doing so.

Maybe its because of my first impression, rather than the first "date".

[deleted] 9y ago

7.

Everytime says "I'm 5'4 nobody respects me".

If I see a 5', 5'1 or 6'1 guy walk into the room with a tailored suit I automatically assume he has got his shit together.

a_nus 9y ago

All within context. In my college days I knew several try hards who'd force tha fancy look in casual parties. It honestly made everyone, including the girls, cringe.

metalhead4 9y ago

Makes me cringe when I see suits anywhere that isn't a business meeting, wedding, or a funeral. Suits are not fucking "comfortable". Favourite jeans and a short sleeve all day baby. Collars, V's, regular are all acceptable. Show off the guns a bit. Once again fuck suits. Everyone I've seen "out on the town" in a suit has 4 butt buddies hanging off them in suits too. Fuckin try hards and they're usually douchey assholes. I've never met someone in a suit who will give anyone their time of day like I will. I'm a fun outgoing person who doesn't have too many fucks to give about suits and "image" while interacting with strangers.

A small get together with 30 people? You and I sound like we come from opposite ends of the social spectrum. Dmhs.

a_nus 9y ago

I feel ya. I saw a post on /r/seduction once that was suggesting dudes to wear a suit to the club to stand out and make all the other guys looks like chumps. The amount of upvotes it had... fuckin' a.

I guess that works in a big city where girls are all about money and want to see a man in a suit for his status, but i've never fucked anyone based on what I was wearing.

[deleted]

ROIVeritas 9y ago

Suits aren't comfortable at all, which is why EVERY woman likes a sharp dressed man. To them it's like us glitzing it up for their viewing pleasure, some men love the look, many even, but even a tailored suit stifles after awhile.

metalhead4 9y ago

Every girls crazy bout a sharp dressed man dun dunn dunnn dun dun dunnn <--- ZZ Top guitars

ROIVeritas 9y ago

ZZ!

I'm actually going to buy a nice suit for the first time ever after mixing and matching random dress blues and blacks, whites and greys for years.

Going for a 75k position that I know I can nail, just have to look like money from here on out.

a_chill_bro 9y ago

Nice guys don’t finish last, boring guys do.

This one really resonated with me.

Transmigratory 9y ago

Find your passion and figure out how to get paid for it.

That seriously depends on your passion. I'm sure a guy who has a passion for finance will have an easier time finding a way to get paid for said passion than someone whose heart lies in art.

metaphysicalibration 9y ago

newslinq.com is hardly "the mainstream media." just another buzzfeed clone.

but you knew that.

[deleted] 9y ago

Where does TRP recommend to go on first date?

[deleted] 9y ago

Drinks.
Best if you take one car from one persons place. you can always ask to use the bathroom or make up an excuse to get back inside.

MetalliMunk 9y ago

I always chose the local mall when I was younger. Plenty of topics to talk about, only eat if you're hungry, then could always lead to something else if it's near the evening of it it's not working, easy enough to say you got plans and have to head out.

[deleted]

Meunderwears 9y ago

Apparently, throwing paint on one another is the answer.

BluepillProfessor 9y ago

That will get you laid much quicker than a movie date.

tyranus89 9y ago

TRP endorses a separation from conventionality. Where you take your date depends on a multitude of variables -- you and your interests, your style of game, her interests and what she responds to, your geographic location and culture, etc.

"Dinner and a movie" is rejected by TRP because it's conventional.

We can't really outright tell you where to go on a date.

1003rp 9y ago

"Dinner and a Movie" is rejected because it is way too expensive and doesn't allow for casual, fun conversation or much physical engagement. Even if you don't pay, it makes things awkward because of the cost. That type of first date is way too much invested time and money for someone you do not know. First dates should be quick, cheap, and efficient for the people to figure out if they like each other enough or not. Coffee or drinks is perfect for this goal. Second date would preferably something more action involved like bowling or ice skating where you can really easily touch the girl and keno. Especially doing some type of action date she doesn't know how to do very well. You can teach her how to do it and this will definitely involve touching her and you can escalate from there.
