As Red Pill's Chief Bro Scientist it is my duty to inform and advise the men of Red Pill on fitness, lifestyle, and problematic misogynistic behavior. During my tenure, I have helped men put meat on their frames by telling them to eat more meat. I pioneered the Theory of Alpha Relativity, the belief that Alpha is relative and that each man needs to discover his own brand. Finally, I published a comprehensive guide to psychologically manipulating women into anal sex. Today, I am ready to present my latest findings, with the hope that my meticulous bro-research will aid you in finding hot singles in your area.
There are an ass-load of dating profile and slut messaging guides floating around the internet. The problem is that your picture is the most important part of your dating profile. Do you really think a few quirky lines are going to help an out of shape beta get dates? Fuck no. But betas love that shit because it's yet another opportunity for them to intellectually masturbate and avoid real self improvement. I'm not in the business of giving false hope to betas. If you don't have the body don't waste your time in the hookup scene and don't waste the Red Pill's time with your: I'm a fat sophisticated gentle-sir bullshit. In fact, if you are anything over 18% this guide isn't for you. This advice will help fit athletic men get laid, it is a colossal waste of time for fats. So to all of the fats still reading this: go be fat somewhere else. If you find this offensive, please support the Red Pill moderation team by pushing the unsubscribe button with your cheesy orange fingers.
A good shirtless selfie is proven to increase your odds of getting a date especially if you're in the younger range of the dating spectrum. Yes a lot of people believe shirtless selfies to be douchy and women will not hesitate in telling you that they are. However, as with many things women say one thing and do another. Which is to say, women have no problem shit talking talented shirtless selfie photographers to their peers, while at the same time bouncing up and down on their penises. Yes the shirtless selfie game is douchy, but I'm going to teach you how to be the best douche in the pile.
Lighting: Some people think that they can just take off their shirt and take a picture of the asshole doing Zoolander's blue steel in the mirror. Well, we here at The Red Pill hold ourselves to a higher standard and that selfie excellence starts with lighting. If you take the photo outdoors which I recommend, do it about an hour before sunset. If however you plan on taking the picture in a bathroom where people defecate or a locker room like me, try to stand almost directly under a bright light in an otherwise dimish room. You want to lean back slightly so that the shadows cast by your abs highlight them. Yes you should flex, especially your abs but avoid the flex grimace and instead go for an easy smile that says: girl you already know. Another thing to consider is a light spray tan. This is a bit far for a picture but if your going to be shirtless in a club or rave, the spray will highlight the fuck out of your abs. One bonus of getting sprayed is that you mark your territory in women's bed sheets with your ultimate orange greatness.
Diet: Nothing is more abominable for your abdominals than being bloated. It doesn't matter how ripped you are certain foods will absolutely rape all your sexy veins, cuts, and striations. If you're trying look your best on selfie day you absolutely have to avoid the following foods on the day of and possibly a few days before your shoot. Foods to watch out for include milk, carbonated beverages, beans, and generally anything that you have a hard time digesting due to allergies or intolerance. Some great foods to try on selfie day/week are white fish, rice, tomatoes, cucumbers, avocados, and especially celery and asparagus. Another thing to think about is your daily carbohydrate intake. For every gram of glycogen your body retains from carbohydrates it pulls in 3-4 grams of water in with it. While a certain amount of carbohydrates will make your muscles pumped and full, too much will make you a bloated mess. Your carbohydrate tolerance is determined by genetics, so you need to figure out what works for you. Another thing to consider is salt. Salt is necessary to achieve a pump but too much will turn you into a moon-faced mess.
Water: Just as women are a paradox so is water. The more water you drink, the less water you will retain, and the less bloated you will be. Why? Because when you are dehydrated your body gets all beta and desperately holds on to any remaining water it has. Its kind of like how betas cling to women who talk to them because women don't go out of their way to talk to betas. Alphas on the other hand have an abundance of women so they're not clingy at all. What I'm saying is make your body Alpha by giving it the water abundance mentality, so it stops acting like a bloated dehydrated beta bitch and retaining all that water. That Red Pill Bro Science Bio Truth is solid enough to take selfies with.
There are a lot of different ways men try to prove their value to women on the internet. Some dress up like classy gentile-sirs in fedoras. Some write poetry or witty jokes that women are too stupid to understand. The reason for this stupidity is male solipsism. Betas are looking for funny classy girls so they think that women are as well. The fact of the matter is women on hookup aps are looking for hawt guys to fuck them. So do yourself a favor and set aside your opinion of what you think women should want and give them what they actually want: Hawt shirtless bro with ripped abs.

Just remember: almost all hookup decisions are exclusive. She runs into something she doesn't like and kicks you off her prospect list.
Given that, the importance of appearance makes sense. It may not be more 'important' than game, but clothes and physique are the first two signals she gets about you. Don't let them disqualify you before you open your mouth.

Some people are going to think this is tryhard, but it's worked fantastically for me: if you know a friend who's casually into photography, get them to snap a few semi-professional photos of you on their DSLR's. The quality of the photo itself makes an enormous difference. Couple that with good poses for the camera and you've already pole-vaulted ahead of legions of losers with their iPhone 2 potato photos.
I'd even go so far as to propose getting them professionally done if you're serious about starting a soft harem of online chicks. It makes a huge, huge difference, something I found out by accident by having hipster pretentious photographer friends at the time.

My friend in Brodin, u/GayLubeOil is a beast of a man and surely slays ass in epic proportions. However, there is another aspect of this game that I think he forgot. I am a an imaging expert as well as a scientist so I think I can offer some additional tips for my fellow shitlords, fresh from my success on Tinder, okc and pof.
Additional photo tips to deceive women into thinking you are better looking than you really are:
Setting. Don't take a selfie in your dirty ass bathroom or the cluttered closet with your stank gym shoes. Nobody wants to see that shit and will think you're a slob. Find a clean, orderly place in you home. Better yet, go somewhere beautiful and take that pic or have someone else take it. My recent trip to Italy's Amalfi Coast and Rome were perfect settings. Me on the the rocky cliffs of the Mediterranean or in a 2000 year old temple is better than me next to the sink with toothpaste stains on the mirror.
Photo editing. You know how those bitches soften their images and turn 45 into 25? They show up looking like a haggard meth head to your Tinder date? Well you too can do that to your photos. Hop on Adobe photoshop or a similar software program and load the jpeg. Use the auto adjust feature. Play with contrast, exposure, histogram and RGB levels. Between just these three features you can eliminate the pasty, acne-ridden look for the bronzed god you hope to be.
Color choice. Now this one is tricky. Some folks like a nice black and white (better depth to the photo) or sepia toned image. Only certain images work well with this choice. However, done right it will show that bod in the best light.
You're welcome,
Professor of Carnology ProfDiddy

I actually don't believe his primary purpose is to sell T-shirts at all. It's a nice way to monetize his posts but he could be making cash at 10x the speed doing personal training in real life - he's qualified enough and fit enough to reach the big time in that field.

My #1 most aggressive photo I used on dating sites was a photo someone took of me chopping wood in the snow wearing shorts. Barefoot. I was actually sweating and the sunlight was gleaming off my body.
I was on the skinny runty side at that point in my life but 50 minutes of chopping firewood really pumped my muscles up and the lighting was perfect.
Don't forget good lighting. It makes the difference between looking fit and looking pudgy.

abdada 9y ago
Absolutely.
Another "cute" photo I used online was a shadow of me holding the photo taker up above my head. The sun was the perfect angle and my muscle definition in the shadow was kinda there and you could tell the girl was fit. No faces just sand and shadow. That was a winner as well because it was mysterious but showed strength and DHV.
I think she snapped 40 photos and only that one looked good.
Apexk9 9y ago
Yoink! Definetly going to recreate that photo. Women will see a fit shadow of the girl and then their imagination can go wild building your value as a proxy.

What's weird is this gal and I were basically orbiters of each other (beneficially). I didn't find her sexually compatible (super hot but had aspergers) and she didn't like short dudes. So we took advantage of each other openly for years.
After she posted that photo on FB and tagged me, ALL her friends were PMing me. It was hilarious.
Still never tapped it, tho. She had this annoying ritual where she had to click every door handle 15 times if she touched it. Drove me absolutely insane. So hot tho.

We used to spend summers together because neither of us had job commitments so we would hit the beach often.
In 6 years of knowing her, I know she only slept with two guys. One was a freak (ugliest dude ever, yellow teeth, never showered) who would do swinger glory holes. The other dude was in his 70s, ex professor. Permanent ED I guess.
She is so off. It is a shame because she's DHV wherever we go. My LTRs would always freak out until they met her and realized there is no possible way I could hit it.
Chicago has one of the highest rates of hot aspie chicks in the nation, I believe.
MonkeyDFreecs 9y ago
As a guy with Asperger's I agree with this that a lot of hot Aspie chicks seem to come from Chicago, a bunch in my ASD group were from Chicago, Illinois, or from an outside town/city that neighbored Illinois.
Also your story of the guys she slept with is really sad, this is probably why the SpectrumSingles, has a really in depth quiz you have to take before being registed to see if you qualify, to keep neurotypical guys out looking for booty calls and they could easily take advantage of these girls.

My co-inventor is an Aspie, anti-social as all hell. I introduced the two and it was like matter and anti-matter. Bad idea. Didn't know about the spectrum of differences until that day.
MonkeyDFreecs 9y ago
Well at least you know that not all people with Asperger's/High functioning autism are the same now. If Asperger's is the only common ground they have then it can be a really bad idea as they can be more incompatible and less understanding than they would with a neurotypical partner.
Our interest are huge part of who we are and if we do not like each others interest it is the equivalent of smacking each other in the face.
yumyumgivemesome 9y ago
GLO didn't include the pre-workout in his guide. A solid workout is good for that bulk, and the sweating helps to temporarily dehydrate the skin for better definition. Overdoing the ab workout, however, can have a negative effect because it may be more difficult to flex those smaller muscle groups while they are fatigued.
abdada 9y ago
I never recommend ab workouts unless you do stomach vacuums.
Stomach vacuums have been my secret recipe for abs for ten years. 6 weeks of SVs before a beach trip or a cruise and my abs are best in show, lol. And I'm not swole.

abdada 9y ago
It was a training secret for decades. Learned it from a PT I plated who had the most amazing girl abs but she never did any ab workouts.
I do SV on rest days and only here and there throughout the day. Before meals.
It isn't tough to do and it definitely makes a difference.
I get the shittiest breadloaf abs when I'm working out (even during ring dips) and SVs get rid of them temporarily.
[deleted] 9y ago
Arnie used to brag about them all the time. Zane too I think.
yumyumgivemesome 9y ago
You only do SV in preparation for a beach vacation or the summer -- i.e., for when you plan to show them off. Is that because they otherwise do not have much of a positive health effect? From the little reading I've done since you mentioned SV, it seems they could still be beneficial to core strength and power.
abdada 9y ago
I have been doing them more often because I wanted to see the difference. It definitely is fine to do daily or alternate days.
It's not going to help if you're 13% body fat or more, though. Since 95% of people at beaches aren't fit, you're only really setting standards against the few who are. And a lot of swole guys are still fat, or they have bad abs definition because the muscle supporting the abs is weak.
yumyumgivemesome 9y ago
Based on GLO's linked picture, I think I'm around the 10% range. It's hard to judge because my abs aren't as large as the 10% and 15% guys. But my obliques and sternocleidos have about that level of definition.
Can't wait to try this out. I love that I can do it off and on throughout the day at the office. Thanks.
abdada 9y ago
Report back in 6 weeks.
Remember you're working out muscles, not sucking your stomach in. Easy mistake to make early on. Once you feel it, you'll know.
yumyumgivemesome 9y ago
Yes, I think I know the difference because I'm realizing I've already been doing it every now and then. And it's something that can be done lightly and effectively while at the beach/pool party. I notice that a lot of girls suck in their stomachs (via lungs) when they take bikini pictures, but it looks terribly obvious to me. A very slight SV, however, would look far more natural.

Let me help out with a few more "hacks":
Red makers everyone sexier (men and women): maybe wear some red underwear that are slightly showing or some red pants;
People are prettier when viewed from the left side: not full left, but from a side-left angle
Symmetry is key: avoid a picture that's really distorted (GoPro pics) or pics where your face is irregular/ one hand seems smaller than the other/ etc.
Guys with black hair (even brown) and blue eyes are sexier since they're a rarity: get contacr lenses if you wanna go that far
There is a healthy "shine" of your hair that makes you a bit sexier: if you have healthy hair and scalp, then taking that picture 1-3 days after the last hair wash is best
Show your teeth, even slightly; you must have good teeth
People with a dark ring around their iris are sexier
Good luck in taking the best picture there is!

You actually really don't know shit. First, it's absolutely the policy on this sub that bitching without contributing is not allowed. The only reason your shit didn't get deleted was because it flew beneath the radar. Second, if GLO's merchandising didn't have a place in this sub then the mods would have stepped in. Third, he's using the money to hire production crews in order to help him benefit the manosphere by accessing larger venues. And fourth, unlike you, GLO has contributed quite a bit to this place and deserves a bit more leash to do what he wants. Everything he's doing benefits the manosphere whereas nothing you've done benefits anybody but yourself. Maybe you shouldn't be so quick to talk shit before considering all the factors?
[deleted] 9y ago
It's not bitching, it's constructive criticism, how can this sub improve without it? If something isn't to your taste, then you'll delete it? That's not productive at all.

[deleted] 9y ago
Are you kidding me? Do you seriously think that this is how you offer constructive criticism? In shit holes like academia and feminism you're supposed to consider the other guy in the best light possible even if it's unrealistically good but on the red pill we just speak the truth. Nobody without severe social disorders would think that that's how you give constructive criticism.
First, it's being an inflammatory dick. Second, it offers no actual advice on how to improve the post. You're antecedently trying to rationalize the comment. Hell, you probably didn't even read it over before making the comment that I'm currently responding to and you think so highly of yourself that you assumed it would've been something good.

Not sure if you're serious or not. You've got broad shoulders, a strong back, strong arms, and visible abs. You definitely have the body for shirtless pics. I know for a guy your size it may be a bit difficult but you should work more on your chest. That being said, go forth and take as many shirtless pics as you can man.
Invictus-- 9y ago
Ditto the outdoor timing. You can google the magic hour, or golden hour and find the best times for your location. Basically the lower the sun is the warmer the light is as more blues get refracted away. Colder light (higher color temp - blue) can make you look washed out.
If you're shooting indoors, avoid fluorescents (too much green and they'll make you look sickly). You can put a sheet of gel - Rosco 02 (light bastard amber) over a light to warm it up - looks great on skin. If you're darker skinned you might go closer to 04.

One easy way to not put that in the picture is to get an action shot. If you're lifting someone, chopping wood, or carrying some shit, your arms are likely to be across your chest quite naturally.

Actually suits aren't the best option. Yes it displays status but not the kind of status you want for getting sex. Think of your body like how an advertiser thinks of a product. If you wanted to sell sex, would you put a guy in a suit on the cover, or a guy with no shirt on? Which would women be more drawn to sexually?
It works. And you'll get a lot of matches doing it.

Must be going after women with specific tastes. I'm selling dominance, not just sex. The fetish scene must be different from the likes of tinder.

Nothing works better than standing in front of a boat. You can weigh 500 lbs, at any time of day, stand in front of a boat, and you can pick any woman you want. Don't believe me? Try it. Better yet, be in the boat when taking the photo.
redadactyl 9y ago
If you get a good "captain shot" of you piloting the boat, shirtless and tanned... so productive.

Pretty much. However I will say one thing for the older crowd. Having jacked arms seems to work just as well as abs do for the younger crowd

Well fellas, stop hating and appreciate this good post about a way to display high SMV online. If you need an explanation to quench your hating, read below and fuck off.

Hilarious guide! My best shirtless pic is one that was taken after my beach volleyball team won first in a tournament. Nice and sweaty for the glistening, a little sandy, and no smile because high off the dopaminez. The pic shows off my height (6'5") and my physique, plus keeping the shirtlessness in context.

When I have my definition back, what do I do about the copious hair? I'm not shaving. Makes me wonder, girls like the gray in my beard, will they get turned on by chest hair or do they prefer a body builder electrolysis look? The hair on my back is epic as well. Think silverback gorilla.

No shirtless pics for me, always wearing a rug.

Cut with scissors. Keep hair short
vengefully_yours 9y ago
Short and prickly so she gets razor burnon her tits or back. The sadist in me likes that idea.
redadactyl 9y ago
Girls either freakin love the chest hair or they hate it. I believe it is a blessing and wear my v necks and unbuttoned polos with pride and a little tuft. I shave my back hair because aint nobody wants to see that, plus its a great stretch trying to get all the corners. I live in a warm climate so I get the shirt off quite often.
redestofthereds 9y ago
Dude I shaved the shoulder area of my arms and I ended up getting ingrown hairs. Do you know how to avoid that?
redadactyl 9y ago
Splash some 3% Hydrogen Peroxide and rinse off after 10-30 minutes. Should dry out the skin and keep the pores/follicles clear, especially good for non facial areas. For the love of god rinse off before exposing to sunlight or it will lightly bleach your skin, but in the uneven "is that a skin condition?" way.
redestofthereds 9y ago
Sounds like solid advice, brother. Thanks.
QuietlyLearning 9y ago
How the hell do you reach those areas on your back well enough to get them smooth?
[deleted]
[deleted]
vengefully_yours 9y ago
I can't reach most of my back, mostly lower back and my neck is all I can get to. That means someone else has to shave it for me. Mount a Norelco on a stick and have mirrors to see what I missed... Yeah, I'll just leave it.
redadactyl 9y ago
Haha when I first started I did the stick method. I made it a goal to be able to reach it all myself, and I just kept stretching, doing yoga, etc. Now I can reach all of it rather comfortably with just the length from the razor, took me maybe three months of a quick daily stretch.
vengefully_yours 9y ago
No amount of yoga will let muscle pass through muscle. My forearms hit my biceps long before I can touch my shoulder, wrapping my arm across my chest lets me reach my side, but not my back. I have flexibility, but I have a limited range of motion because there is meat and bone there. I've been this way for more than 25 years, and it's annoying when I have an itch and can't reach it.
redadactyl 9y ago
You have earned the right to not give a fuck about your back hair. I feel for you about the itches though. They also sell those long curved handles for razors... its goofy but it works. But I mean if your built enough people wont care about the hair.
vengefully_yours 9y ago
Like everything else about me, I own it. I'm being facetious if I comment about shaving it, I'm old, experienced, and I've earned how I look. That being said, I know not to do shirtless pics especially of my back. Also ten to fifteen years ago online worked well for me, now they see my age and height and ignore me completely online. Doesn't matter how muscular I am, it's a very blunt tool. They miss out on my voice, body language, and my presence online. The same girls who disregard me online drip when they see me in person, so I don't bother with it. I meet them in person, face to face, and it works great.

Because TRP is not about correcting the system, but about exposing it so that people can either;
try to fix it
take advantage of it
Whatever you do is on you. Have fun!
Redasshole 9y ago
Yeah, the system is shitty but since it won't change soon, we might as well use it in our favour. We can't have a nice, decent woman anymore? Well, at least we can get the sex.
Kid_Crimson 9y ago
Enjoy the decline my friend - fixing the world is beyond your scope!
Archwinger Endorsed Contributor 9y ago
Excellent expression of concern!
It's a good thing for you and all men out there that there are 3.5 billion women on Earth, and that if you become a powerful, valuable man, you can, in fact, have it all. You can fuck sluts until your dick just can't take it any more, then inisist on a perfect, conservative housewife -- and you can get it! All you have to do is be a badass.
[deleted] 9y ago
Even if you can't, if all that's left in the world is the slut parade then you might as well fuck some sluts. We're not changing the world, we're just being happy within.
Archwinger Endorsed Contributor 9y ago
If I had a nickel for every time someone said, "Durrrrr. its teh hippocrytical if u dont lik sluts but u also tell d00ds 2 fuk sluts!!!!", I would be way more attractive to sluts.

Read. Read the sidebar, read the top posts, read.
Very briefly, there are two reasons.
Tragedy of the commons. No one man using Tinder is reshaping the world, so why shouldn't he get laid?
[deleted]
Snivellious 9y ago
Again, read.
First, 'men' is not 'man'. Telling me "if most men stopped doing this it would stop!" is basically just defining the tragedy of the commons. The Nash Equilibrium is for everyone to defect - changing my behavior in isolation doesn't change the overall outcome.
Second, this is discussed extensively in the side bar and highly upvoted posts. TRP is not about fixing the world. It is consciously, actively, not about fixing the world. It's about improving personal outcomes for those who read it. For self-preservation reasons and for the benefit of it's members, the sub has bowed out of trying to promote big social changes. It's about achieving your goals, whether they're hookups or a good marriage, in the society that exists today.

Archwinger Endorsed Contributor 9y ago
Let me help you out:
I, personally, am going to ruin the world. I am going to make it my mission to ruin the world. Nothing you do will make a difference, because me, and thousands of men like me, are going to ruin the world anyway.
So now that you know that it is impossible for you, personally, to change the world by abstaining from sex, how about you go get laid?

Because we are not a social movement, TRP is a sexual strategy.

Screams insecurity. Getting spray tans and controlling water retention for a picture... If you have this mentality then how can you ever relax when there is a camera around? Someone might post that picture of you! You are always worried about how others view you, you are always thinking about the image you are reflecting. You are always looking within. When people are around the guy who is always too introspective, they never have any fun. He is more likely to absorb negative criticism and is always worried about how other perceive him. This is probably one of the most backward posts I've seen here and is probably doing more damage than good.

There is no bullshit ultimate guide to a shirtless selfie on Tinder. Tinder success is only gaged by two rules: 1. Be attractive. 2. Don't be unattractive
Doesn't matter if you take a picture but ass nekkid or wearing a Tapout shirt and cargos - if you look like Brad Pitt you WILL get tons of matches.
If you're ripped but got hit with the ugly stick alot, a shirtless selfie isn't gonna do jack shit.
Guides like these seriously make me cringe.
Z28D 9y ago

[deleted] 9y ago
I set one of my buddies up with his own business providing Tinder photo batteries for old dudes and betas.
I set up the business end for him, he took care of the photo side of it.
Some shit he does that seem whack but get results include:
Makeup. Kennedy rocked Nixon in their debate partially because Kennedy wore makeup but Nixon refused because it was too girly. Kennedy won.
Accentuating abs with either markers or makeup. Only works if you have some abs. You can't just draw a six pack on a beer gut.
Pictures with hella girls in them. Doesn't matter if they are your cousins or your harem, as long as they are 5s or better they are social proof and preselection checked off the list. Weddings are great for this. Next time you go to a wedding go out of your way to crowd together as many hot drunk girls as you can, wrap your arms around them (preferably with one or more kneeling in front of you) and snap them pictures.
A picture of you with animals (NOT CATS!!!!!1111) so like dogs, camels, elephants, monkeys, whatever. The more out there/exotic the better but a dog will do, especially a good looking dog.
Lighting is the best advice taken from the above post. In the words of Dom Mazetti "Fitness is 98% lighting".

Basic photo manip is great, but unless you're doing some very specific style I would say keep it subtle. Up your contrast a little if the shadows aren't dark, up/drop your exposure if your background isn't looking how you want it to. A little hdr can be fine, but it's really easy to head into ShittyHDR territory with that.
My usual rule is that unless you have a 'look' in mind, the best editing is the stuff no one will realize you've done.
