Allow me to provide some context: I am a 23-year-old single man with a relatively well-paying job in my field, for which I hold both a bachelor’s and a Master’s degree, living in a coastal city about half an hour’s drive from the beach. I have my own place, no credit cards, a car that’s paid off, and only $40k in student loan debt.
With my age in mind, I recognize that I may not have nearly as much life experience as a fair portion of my brothers in this subreddit. That said, I like to believe that my perspective holds sufficient relevance. When transitioning from undergrad, to graduate school, and finally to working life, I quickly observed a change in both “the game” and my own mentality towards women.
For most of my undergraduate years I resided in BP hell, chasing women for LTRs as much as I chased my goals (admittedly, sometimes more). For too long I sought validation from the wrong sources. Part of the lie fed to me by Blue Pill society is that male success mandates the approval of a committed, beautiful woman. Emphasis is placed on “committed”. This lie affected every aspect of my behavior towards women. Sometimes I found myself in positions where I could have slept with a girl, but chose not to because my dumb ass thought she would “appreciate a gentleman who didn’t try to get in her pants on the first date”, when all other signals indicated she felt the exact opposite. In Blue Pill hell I felt shame when I actually did bed a girl I wasn’t dating. I felt hollow and asked myself “what did you gain, you asshole?” For some idiotic reason, I was genuinely surprised and disgusted when I saw a girl I had taken on a date less than a week before (and probably could have nailed had I not been so desperate) getting finger-blasted by a grotesquely ugly football player (that I RECOGNIZED from television, to add insult to injury) as she made out with him in an alleyway behind a bar downtown. Surprisingly, that wake-up call wasn’t enough, and it took several more bad experiences with women and some dealings with emotionally-damaged goods before I finally took the red pill. I finally realized the biological objectivity of male and female relations. Admittedly, the process of losing the cynicism associated with “Red Pill Rage” proved long and difficult.
While the confidence boost of sex never changed when I took the red pill, my takeaways from sexual encounters did. I no longer feel a spiritual emptiness when I hook up with a girl, but at the same time I no longer feel the need to associate the amount of sex I’ve had lately to my success, which is the best part. The biggest component of this new mindset is the sheer amount of time my new career consumes.
I work a standard 40+ hour week managing millions of dollars of business in an industry that involves heavy analysis, negotiation, and communication. In short, a job that simultaneously requires the intellectual capacity of a socially-isolated introvert, the relationship management skills of a Greek social chair, and the juggling skills of a circus clown. To say it’s overwhelming is an understatement, but I’m very grateful to have that job; the best part is that it actually relates to my collegiate studies. The takeaway is that I spend over forty hours a week getting nagged and prodded from countless directions. You may know already where this is going.
As the months pass, I notice more frequently on my social media (I ought to just delete all that crap, but I love staying in touch with foreign friends too much) that countless people I knew in high school and college are already engaged, married and/or pregnant, and not necessarily in that order. My reactions show just how far I’ve come on my Red Pill Journey. The old BP me would seethe in envy. But now, with all of the work I’m putting in at a job I fought for, I can’t imagine throwing myself in an LTR, having kids, and putting everything I’ve worked so hard to earn on the line knowing all of the statistics about divorce in America. Why would any man busting his ass at a job put everything at risk so easily in this day and age?
I’m now so focused on my career that I barely noticed how my position in “the game” changed with women overnight. I can now afford REAL, nice dates. I have time in the evenings to lift and take better care of myself, time I couldn’t find easily as an overloaded grad student. My SMV has climbed considerably. I even broke my own record for seducing someone, shamelessly. I met an 8 in my apartment complex’s shared laundromat while I was still dressed in my business casual attire from work. We hit it off, and in less than 20 minutes of chatting her up I INSTRUCTED her to meet me at the rooftop bar next to my apartment in three hours. Six hours later we were going at it, and she contacted me two days later asking for round two. This prompted me to try it again several times with other women, all of them “smash” hits.
TL;DR; When you focus on your career goals and your personal goals, the “need” to have a woman in your life quickly takes a back seat to other priorities, and you scratch your head wondering why other dudes throw themselves at marriage. Ironically, this makes it even easier to game women, assuming you’re working on your frame, because they notice your ambition and drive. After all, they crave to be led.
EDIT: OKAY, y’all. I know my second sentence sounds like a humble brag, but I had to set the stage so y’all could see that I’m not an unemployed cheese dick chilling in my mom’s basement complaining about the world... I have privilege and I acknowledge it wholly. I’m just excited to be where I am now given that a few years back, I couldn’t have fathomed where I’d end up and got little attention from the layyy-dees due to being funemployed. For years I thought I’d never make anything of myself. Pardon my tone.

It's the reproductive drive. At some point(s) in a man's life, it will simply disable his rational faculties. Once the DNA has been passed on, the body may die and is therefore not as troubled as before. Do you really think evolution would have left reproduction to be some kind of "conscious decision" like deciding between vanilla and chocolate ice-cream? :)

Are you from sacramento too? Im in the same situation right now haha. Im 22 and making 70k a year as an actuary, just bought a 4 bed 2 bath house for like 340k total with a huge backyard for parties. I will be able to rent out 3 of the bedrooms to students because Sacramento State is down the block and not only pay for the entire mortgage, but profit. I also just bought a brand new car. Basically after car payments, food, etc i will be savings around 3ishk a month while getting 1200 a month in equity on my house. Livin the dream tbh.

Those aren't the words of a free thinking man, stop using them. You did what you did and ended up where you ended through your own efforts. You could have decided to play video games and smoke weed in your parent's basement, you didn't. No one gets to start at the same spot and no one gets to finish at the same spot, work for what you have and be proud of the work that you have done to be who you are and the work that you will do to better yourself.
teabagabeartrap 5y ago

The only thing I can imagine is, that is too hard finding goals... If you don't have career goals, because work isn't everything you seach for private goals... which imho are way harder to find out for yourself...

Well done. I'm seeing a lot of friends getting married, moving in together, signing up for 300k+ in mortgage debt, and pretty much a guarantee of less sex going forward ( less competition anxiety for the woman). Red Pill awareness is one of the biggest blessings one can ever experience, since the mindset is forever. Never be average.

We have a saying in arabic: “He/She entered the golden cage” when someone is getting married, sure marriage at first looks golden, but with time it will resemble a bird cage.

Churningaway 5y ago
Agreed. The knowledge and perspective that can be gained here literally cannot be quantified. It is, in fact priceless. More valuable that all of the schooling I been through (4 year degree holder). More valuable than anything I learned in my corporate job. More valuable than all the religious knowledge that was customary for me to learn (religion is in fact red-pilled, it recognized humans hedonistic nature and set to form boundaries but it's been watered down immensely now and the leftovers eaten by the feminists). It is right up there for me with the values my parents instilled in me when I was young.
TRP was the final missing puzzle piece for me. For years, I knew instinctively things were all wrong in our society that's rotting at its core. I knew getting married was not a true achievement. I knew women were replaceable (but not disposable, something replaceable can still have lots of value which women inherently have). I always knew it was important to have goals / mission. I always knew that most relationships, save your parents, are transactional.
I knew all these things but didn't have a framework to place it in. To both validate those assumptions and be able to form a life strategy. In the right hands TRP allows a man to obtain and hold power. The hold part is important. Any normie can obtain wealth and influence by luck, but TRP gives you the framework for sustained success in every facet of life.
RiskyRewarder 5y ago
The parent / child relationship is transactional too. They provide stability/refuge/comfort. You provide legacy/gene continuation. If either side breaks down, so does the relationship.

dDiegoDLV 5y ago
You're smashing without paying for dates. If you pay for a nice date you'll probably make it harder to get them in bed. Women will shift into good behavior mode trying to LTR Mr. Alpha-bux.
Keep it up and you'll have prime women (early - mid 20s) at your disposal for the next 3 decades. There will be plenty of opportunity for LTR if you decide you want that.
If only TRP was there for me a decade ago...

When you keep spinning plates for a while, it comes. That is near saturation point though for me. I got to the point where I was spinning 5 at once and it just gets to be too much. Shit I just called them all girl because I would forget names. They stack up like a line and it almost becomes self-maintaining.

Completely agree. Gets to the point where it’s a pain in the ass because of the texting and coordinating and remembering the right names. A couple of newer plates along with longer term every once while chicks that require zero maintenance seems like the sweet spot.

Post college you will see a lot of friends get married immediately before age 25. Then you will see another wave just as everyone is about to hit 30. Around that time you'll also see the first few divorces, especially if there's no kids involved yet. I'm 32 and have stayed single most of my life so I've gotten a lot of entertainment out of watching people go through the same patterns.
I remember my first 'office' job at 23 but there was certainly no 'focus on career, not women' thing. I can't say I've seen too many career driven people in my life. Everyone is just killing time 'til happy hour.
jackandjill22 5y ago

vast_rightwing 5y ago
Not a joke though, a good diet is critical for the gym and your mental health. The difference between eating the cheapest garbage you can find and decent home cooked meals (admittedly boring and repetitive ones) is about the same as a single beer or fancy coffee a day. Bake chicken/crock pot and any sauce with cheap cuts of meat; broccoli or other substantial veggies on the side (peppers/onions/etc for flavor don't count). Rice/beans/other carbs as fillers as needed.
Your body is your temple. Worship it.

You're like 23, and I already sense a lot of bitterness and sadness in this post. Like seriously? Get a grip. You are just starting life. You have nothing to worry about and you seem to already be having some great success.
And if you meet an 8 and can instruct her to meet you at a bar and have sex. You probably are already pretty tall or handsome. Good job, now stop worrying and obsessing.
Sac_fo_dayz 5y ago

Rian_Stone 5y ago
Anxiety comes with success. It's not that you are more anxious, it's that your tolerance for it provides more exposure
VolatileEnemy 5y ago
That's interesting, are you saying we get more anxious as we get more successful? Is that true?
Rian_Stone 5y ago
No. In my experience, you're exposed to more as you do riskier and more successful things. Repeated exposure make you better at deal ing though
VolatileEnemy 5y ago
I'd agree with that. You don't get paid a lot for non-anxiety-or-stress-inducing jobs usually. If it's not risky, they won't pay you much.

You must be a neckbeard. It’s easy to fuck a girl within a few hours of meeting her if you have your own place and the vibe is right . You have to make the women feel comfortable.
