I adopt a mindset that lets me embrace my current state, no matter where I am on my path. "I suck and it's awesome"

Tyler from RSD introduced the phrase in one of his videos. You go out and approach 10 girls and fail to closeany of them. You suck and it's awesome. Who has the balls to go out and do that?

You asked a girl out, you met up and it didn't go well? You suck and it's awesome. Who has the balls to ask girls out.

You got her back to your place encountered LMR and got blue balled? You suck and it's awesome.

She's naked but you're so anxious you can't get it up? You suck and it's awesome

She asked what are we and didn't want to be a plate? You suck and it's awesome

You've fucked a few times but now she's not responding to your texts? You suck and it's awesome.

You only have 2 plates? You suck and it's awesome

You have 5 plates, but you're a bit embarassed to show off their faces to your roomates? You suck and it's awesome

Extrapolate... You will always suck and it will always be awesome.

You say you have been working hard to implement TRP theory into your life and go on to talk about lacking plates. Since you did so I'll assume your main goal is to increase your SMV/get laid/plates.

What you need to remember is that getting laid and earning plates is a numbers game. If you didn't approach or pursue any girls in July, theres no chance of earning a plate. Focus on putting yourself in more social situations and prepare to be rejected.

Cold approach girls, text older friends who are girls, message girls on facebook, go to the club, go to the bar, etc. TRP theory is extremely useful but it isn't a golden ticket. You still need to go out and apply yourself as much as possible. Plates are hard work, women are hard work.

You don't become an 'alpha'. You become confident, have respect for yourself, look people in the eye, hold your head up high, and conquer the world. Good luck. : Follow some of these suggestions if are not already - http://i.imgur.com/1cYyZ.jpg Be proud of yourself, and don't look back.

The heart of TRP is self-improvement. If you improve yourself in as many areas as you can, you are showing others that you value yourself. If you're just looking to get with women, then r/seddit or r/PUA may be more beneficial to you. If you only look to TRP for the sole purpose of attracting women, you're doing it wrong. Work on yourself and the women will come investigate on their own.

'Becoming alpha' isn't done by acting this way or saying and doing certain things. Alphas take care of themselves first - everybody comes second. This doesn't mean you need to turn into a sociopath and push old ladies out of the line to get ahead in the grocery store - it means that you value yourself enough that you don't need to please others to feel valuable.

Look at it this way: Women need to be the center of attention. From the time they are little girls, people fawn on them and tell them how beautiful and special they are. Then when they grow tits, all the guys give them that attention and reinforce that they are beautiful and special. They realize their power and they know they can dangle themselves in front of an endless sea of men to get their way.

So, when a woman sees a guy that takes care of himself but doesn't jump through her hoops because he has better shit to do, she views him as higher value than her. This is why women always fall for the 'asshole'. It isn't that he's an asshole - he just doesn't give up his valuable time to pander to her bullshit. He views her as fun, but not necessary.

Hope this helps. Best of luck.

The best time to start a RP life is 20 years ago, the second best time is now.

It really depends on who you are to see benefits. It can't harm to do it, so you shouldn't care about a timeframe.

There is no finish line. Strive for improvement every day and changes will come in time.

Eye contact used to be a really difficult problem for me, as recent as a year ago. Now I look people in the eye without even thinking about it. I don't remember there ever being a day where it suddenly happened. It was just something I started doing without realizing it.
