Summary: 99% of the advice you get about women (outside of TRP) will be confusing, not actionable, and difficult to get consistent results from. Even TRP advice can feel vague and cryptic sometimes. If you're experiencing advice-fatigue then try going out and finding Alpha male role models instead. Observing and emulating can be way more effective than trying to act out abstract advice you got from a friend, or the internet.

Consider these three short stories. You've probably experienced some variant of each at some point in your life:

[Story 1, Accidental Social Proof] You're at a wedding talking to an older dude. He's in his 50's. He's thin but well dressed. The subject of dating comes up. You bring up a few things that you're doing to help improve your dating life. He waves his hands and goes "No, no, no, no. You don't need to do any of that. Don't waste your time. Just be yourself and be confident." He tells you about how he slept with dozens of women in his youth when he was a semi-successful musician. It sounds like you should take his advice, but it's unclear how you would even go about doing that.

[Story 2, Accidental Relationships] You're at a bar with friends, both men and women. There's a group of muscular sports bros hanging out next to you. One of the sports bros walks over and interacts with your group. A girl later comments on how attractive he was. Everyone else says "Oh, no. Guys like that are the worst. They're too vain and into their bodies. He seemed like a jerk too, no thanks." These sentiments are repeated by the men in your group. Everyone you're with accidentally stumbled a relationship and has a self-reportedly happy sex life. Their advice seems OK. You're single though, lonely and horny. Finding relationships seems to have worked for your friends, but you're not sure how to go about finding one for yourself. Later that night you see the sports bro making out with a random girl. The women in your group seem displeased. "He's probably not even going to call her back in the morning, gross."

[Story 3, Accidental Nice Guy Success] You're in a car talking to you father about dating. He tells you that the best way to get a girl is to be her friend first, and to be nice. You take this advice seriously because it apparently worked for him. "Just be nice" did get you that one LTR when you were younger. You tell your dad "I have some friends who are more like bad boy types though, and they do great with women." He responds "Yeah, I never understood why that worked. You don't want to do that though, you want to be a better man." Being nice does seem to work on approximately 1 girl every 12 months or so, but the low hit rate is very frustrating.

There's a pattern here. Pretty much nobody will ever give you clear actionable advice that you can use to improve your love life, which consistently works when you try it. If you share your own strategies you'll get shut down a good amount of the time. The strategies that people tolerate talking about are the ones that you know don't really work. Most men have stumbled into relationships or casual sex at some point in their lives, one way or another. Everyone tries to reason out what exactly got them their accidental success, after the fact. Then they assume that whatever worked for them must be The One True Strategy (TM).

Don't take advice about girls seriously. Don't take criticisms of your own strategies seriously. Trying to strategize about dating with the average man is as useful as trying to strategize about how to beat a rigged carnival game. Everyone is going to come up with some random shitty strategy, and nobody's strategy is going to work consistently. The game is rigged to begin with. Someone will accidentally win a huge teddy bear and you'll call it a day.

Even TRP advice can seem vague and cryptic sometimes.

If you need guidance then go out and find role models. Expand your social circle. Keep expanding it until you meet the kind of dudes who really know how to get laid. You'll see them pull girls home from the bar. Sometimes they'll show up at the bar saying they just pumped and dumped some chick and wanted to do something else for the rest of the night. When dating comes up they'll talk about how they have 3 Tinder dates lined up for the weekend. When you see them texting they'll say "Yeah, it's just some girl I'm banging." They'll tell you about the time they slept with a new girl every night for seven days in a row, or about the time they had three girls in a single weekend. They've had STDs. When you ask them for their N count they say it's 100+, and it seems believable. They're still racking up lays actively. They're not has-beens. When you ask them if they'd settle down into a relationship they just grin and don't say much beyond "lol." Sometimes their stories seem self-aggrandizing and possibly fake, but that's also kind of the point; the amount of the female attention you see them getting gives them legitimacy despite their self-aggrandizing. They're physical presentence is notable, both men and women light up when they enter a the room.

These guys won't get into contentious debates about dating. They don't have a One True Strategy (TM) to convince you of. They'd rather "help" by being sexually successful and acting as role models, either consciously or unconsciously.

It can help to know a good role model and emulate his behaviors. I won't make a list of the behavior's here. The point of this post isn't to convince you about my own One True Strategy (TM), or about my own pet definition of Alpha. It can be useful to debate about the nature of Alpha or the nature of game, but it's impossible to know what Alpha men are like unless you are one, or are friends with one.

Pedantry aside, your typical Alpha dude will be having crazy animalistic monkey sex with hot women who have genuine enthusiastic interest in them. That's what TRP sexual strategy is about at the end of the day. If you're not already there then go find guys who are, and do as they do. Alpha is as Alpha does. Always remember that no matter how confident and self assured a man is, he's not the role model you're looking for unless he's actively having sex with a large number of attractive women.
