Dr. Scepter has a set of techniques for you to get that HB2 off the pedestal you’ve put her on and cure the ONEitis you’ve caught for her. But first, I'll explain what a woman being on the pedestal means, how she got there in the first place, and how this becomes the dreaded ONEitis. After that you'll find two lists of techniques, one for pedestalization and one for ONEitis. Each list is not exclusive to its problem, meaning, techniques for taking her off the pedestal may work for ONEitis and vise-versa. But before I begin the class, allow me to give a tldr for the lazy illiterate fuc- I mean, the students who have things to do.
tldr; The root of all ONEitis cases is thinking the girl has something you're missing or she is better than how she really is, in a word; idealism. Once you realize only you can complete yourself, she's not as good as you think, and she's either using you or doesn't care about you, your ONEitis will go away if you dedicate time and effort to yourself.
Defining the terms
A woman being on the pedestal is a precursor to oneitis for red and purple-pill folks, but can happen simultaneously for blue-pilled beta cucks. Putting a woman on a pedestal means you prioritize her before you prioritize yourself and care far too much about her. Over time, this evolves into what Rollo Tomassi defines as oneitis...
“ONEitis is an unhealthy psychological dependency that is the result of the continuous socialization of the soul-mate myth in our collective consciousness.”
To put it simply for my slow kids in the back, ONEitis is when your psychological state depends and rests on how a woman treats you and acknowledges you.
You get sad if she doesn’t respond to your texts.
Your day is ruined if she cancels on you.
You become joyful if she seems to offer you even a chance of getting a crumb of coochie.
If she brushes up against you, you feel as if you’re a hooker being cleansed of her sins by the Pope. Total bliss and ecstasy.
You’ve allowed this woman direct control of your emotions and mental state, but before we talk about curing ONEitis, let's talk about how to take her off of the pedestal before you catch it.
1. Taking that bitch off of the pedestal
There are three main ways to take a woman off of the pedestal.
A. Find other women (duh.)
This one is obvious. Once you realize that the woman you’re talking to isn’t special and can’t give you anything another woman can’t you finally stop giving so much of a fuck about her. For those of you that can’t find other women since you’re just beginning your TRP journey or you’re going through a bit of a dry spell, the next two are for you. Remember class, she's replaceable. If you forget that, you will start to behave in an unattractive manner.
B. Realize she won’t satisfy you.
The root of pedestalization, and ONEItis for that matter, is idealism. You, for some reason, think this woman will complete you. Out of the billions of women lumbering the globe, you really think this one girl has what you need. Take it from me; women will not satisfy you. Only you can satisfy you. It doesn’t matter how many HB10s you plow in a week, if you’re unhappy and incomplete that’s a you problem.
C. Realize she’s probably using you and/or doesn’t care about you.
Women are like sharks, they can smell desperation and neediness a mile away. Some women are unconsciously cruel and will take advantage of whatever you have to offer them without giving you anything in return. This is the classic “alpha fucks beta bucks” dichotomy we talk about here. Here’s a rule of thumb; if she’s leading you on but keeps things ambiguous when you’re making overt romantic/sexual gestures then she’s using you for something. Cut your losses and move on. Then there are the women who don’t care about you at all, trust me, you’ll know when this is the case. If she knows you exist she’ll do everything in her power to dismiss you and berate you.
2. Curing ONEitis
So you fucked around and caught ONEitis. Before I give you the cures do me a favor; look in the mirror, realize you're a soft faggot, then use these techniques.
A. Realize she’s not as good as you think.
This is something that everyone recovering from ONEitis needs to realize, even if you do get her to go on a date with you or get her into bed with you she WILL NOT be as good as you think she is. You WILL be disappointed. I’m speaking from experience here.
Back when Dr. Scepter was just a peasant’s staff in high school, I caught ONEitis for this one chick in one of my classes. I somehow convinced her to send me some nudes and… I was disappointed. We’re not talking roast beef pussy here, we’re talking somebody bought some Arby’s, chewed it up, spat it out, and ran it over with a Ford F-150.
You would think young Scepter would take the hint, oh no, fast forward to when Scepter was no longer a peasant staff, but a budding monk staff college freshman.
After 6 months of solid SMV building, a woman I had ONEitis for began giving me IOIs. I seized the opportunity and asked her out. The date was lackluster. The only reason I had fun at all was because I took it upon myself to enjoy the date. She was very stiff, awkward, and I had to weasel any sort of fun out of her. She didn’t match the angelic, perfect image I had of her. During the day I realized I didn’t even want to fuck her anymore.
After the date I began avoiding her. Cutting her off wasn't easy but I won’t bore you with the details. The bottom line is I didn’t like her anymore because I expected too much out of her from the start. Maybe if I wasn't blinded by petty idealism I would have remembered that women being boring is the norm and it's my job as a man to get the fun out of them. Who knows what could have been between us?
Save yourself some time and disappointment. Lower your expectations of her. In doing so, you’ll find yourself obsessing over her less and less.
B. Know that while you’re obsessing, she’s getting dicked down by a man who isn’t obsessing over her.
This is a tough pill to swallow. Imagine this; the girl you’re currently dreaming of being roughly fucked by somebody that’s not you. Hard to imagine, isn’t it? That’s the reality. This method will leave a very bitter and nasty taste in your mouth, but that’s okay, the girl you have ONEitis for will have a bitter and nasty taste in her mouth after sucking Chad’s dick.
This method/vision should make you angry and bitter… and that's okay. This anger is a result of your perception of this woman being shattered. Use this anger and energy to invest in yourself and stop obsessing over her. Contrary to what most people think, anger is a very good thing if used wisely. The amount of PRs I’ve broken while blinded by rage could be a record in and of itself.
If you have even a semblance of pride, you’ll promptly stop obsessing over her and use your rage productively. You're not a cuck, but you might as well be if you obsess over her while she's getting dug-out by a dude she just met. The red pill is bitter, huh?
C. Figure out what’s wrong with you and fix it.
I covered this in my post Stop Giving A Fuck About Her. You care so much about her because something in your life is out of balance. When you figure what's out of balance and fix it you’ll notice two things will happen.
-
She won’t matter as much to you.
- Everything in your life will begin to fall in place; you won’t have time to obsess over her and constantly wonder and think about what she’s doing. You’ll be too busy being a complete fucking legend.
This method is by far the best way to cure ONEitis. As you improve yourself you'll realize that she's not the prize and doesn't deserve to be idealized and sought after. We, as men, are the prize and always have been the prize once we harness our potential. Men will always have far more potential to create a lasting legacy than women. Keep this in mind.
You're not going to give a fuck about that bitch once you're big and strong, making bank, have a name for yourself, and are leaving behind something that will last throughout the ages. If she doesn't like you when you're absolutely killing it at life, that's her loss.
Wrap up
Catching ONEitis is forgivable, but not curing is unforgivable. I get it, we all slip up and get wrapped up in our insecurities and fall out of our masculine frame. Use my techniques to get back into your frame and grab life by the balls. Life is too short to be spent obsessing over a woman.
Class dismissed. I hope you learned something.

ONEItis is what caused me to stay with my ex that had more red flags than a beach during a hurricane. Thankfully, something gave inside me and I manned up. I believed she was the ONE and it cost me thousands of hours and dollars until that point.
Thank God for people like you who pour themselves into us lost men. You have no idea how much impact TRP has had on me and people like you have helped writ the Masculine Gospel upon my soul.
Great guide. Wish I had found this 2 years ago.
gotmilo11 6y ago
That vivid picture of the girl I caught oneitis for, getting plowed by a guy that's not me just pissed me the fuck off. Thanks for that.. cause fuck her now
Budfox_92 6y ago
You and me both, I knew she was with a guy the last 2 weekends and it drove me crazy thinking about how she was getting fucked by this guy and I was the one suffering. That shit quickly makes you realise there are better things to do than thinking about a girl who doesn't care for you at all in that way.
I would be lying if I said it still didn't sting a little bit but time changes everything and nothing lasts forever.
Geckobird 6y ago
Yeah, it didn't make me angry. It just made me feel sad and disgusted with myself.
AgreeableHelicopter2 6y ago
When I read that it really opened my fucking eyes.....holy shit
Skylights1000 6y ago
Same. I was suppose to hang out with her tonight in the middle of the desert to shoot fireworks. We planned it all day. I’ve even bought a shit ton of fireworks.
I was fantasizing all day about being with her.
Then the very last second she ask can she bring a “friend”. The friend was a dude she’s been talkin to for 2 days. I told her I just wanted it to be us tonight be she said the dude is already dressed and blah blah.
I know she’s getting fucked raw right now and there’s nothing I can do about it. It made me extremely upset.
I am grateful though, because I sprung right back to TRP, and saw where I went wrong.
Geckobird 6y ago
You did cancel right? Lol. That sucks. Pretty shitty. At least she tried to find a way to go and show interest in someone else instead of saying yes out of fear from the response "no" would get. (Thanks #niceguys who flip the fuck out on rejection for that). I waited around on her, missed opportunities from other girls, didn't get another for 8 months.
gotmilo11 6y ago
Wow the audacity... I swear they don't think sometimes.....
povertymayne 6y ago
Thanks OP. You have no idea how much I needed to read this. I just discovered red pill a few months ago and been trying to take baby steps to improve myself, and recently without notice I fell with oneitis. Ill be trying to apply this lesson.
OneCovah 6y ago
ONEitis is a disease of youth. The young man, called beta by TRP, is attracted by nature to the most attractive girl, who in turn is the most likely to tell him to bug off. Much better for the youth to practice on a homely girl who might appreciate his manly attention and, if she tells him to bug off, she won't break his heart and in fact help him might develop the correct response: What's wrong with YOU, lady?
A real man, called alpha by TRP, makes micropasses, such as patting the empty chair next to him, a universal gesture even dogs understand. If she sits he puts his arm around the back of the chair and says, I hope you are as nice as you look and gives her a big smile. This is what women want, confident warmth. She may melt, or jump up and cry, what a creep! in which case the man just laughs.
The alternative to ONEitis is selection bias, the wrong name for the situation where women are nicer to guys who already have a date. The thing is, when a guy approaches a girl, she automatically puts up a barrier. But if he already has a girl she does not, and appears friendly. Thus it is easier to move laterally than confrontationally. With ONEitis you cannot get off home plate and never make it to first base.

I need this so bad right now . The break up is so fresh. Only known her for 5 months but I get attached like a big pussy pretty quick. She is absolutely begging me for another chance. She’s saying all the right things. She really does have such a good potential to be a great partner. But the risks are there. The lack of trust destroyed me. The things she did in the past don’t make it seem like she will be a good wife one day. The part you wrote about her being fucked by guys who don’t care about her is so true it kills me. The dudes in her phone who she was hooking up with get to rough fuck her throat now and she will just drive home after swallowing their load and look for the next weak man like me.
bobbie42069 6y ago
Damn this hit hard except for one thing, you aren't a weak man. She's begging you for another chance and you're rejecting her. That makes so a strong man in my book. Takes a man of value to reject pussy in order to respect his worth. Good job man.
bestsparkyalive 6y ago
Thank you. That actually means a heck of a lot to me right now and Because you made a great point. Perhaps I am not weak but I sure was very weak for a short time.
bigtoeneedhelp 6y ago
Don't let these hoes let you believe that you're weak. Build yourself back up. Don't kid yourself. We all know damn well that all we want is a nice warm hole to fuck. That's all she ever was. That's the only thing you were attracted to. Lord knows if she truly had an interesting personality then she'd be a homie. She's not a homie. If she didn't have a pussy then you wouldn't have bothered doing all those nice things. The lesson to learn here is to not get too attached to woman, and to never put them on a pedestal because they can, will and have given up their pussy to someone else who didn't.
bestsparkyalive 6y ago
Thank you for these words honestly. It’s all true. Stuff like this is what I need to be reading a lot lately to remember what’s true. Now that I think about it she never really did even have a personality. Just typical girl traits that annoyed me sometimes.

When I was in graduate school, I dated a girl I met as an undergrad. We were together nearly 3 years. I knew she had been communicating to an ex but I let it slide. I had my suspicions but I had some major ass one-itis.
One day we got in a huge fight and I didn’t talk to her for a day. I felt bad so I called but no answer. I ended up going to her apartment to find her ex in her bed. I flipped my shit and dumped her. And it hurt. Bad.
I focused on grad school (medicine) and ended up dating 3 other women that year who were just fillers. I ended getting over her in about 8 months and now that I had major potential of being a doctor she pursued me like crazy. I knew she was still fucking random guys but at that point I really didn’t care anymore. She would come over and throw herself at me but I’d be so disgusted I didn’t want anything physical with her.
I ended up feeling so bad that I’d let her come over to watch movies with me but nothing would happen. I’d then leave to meet up with other women and she’d be calling my phone incessantly.
That was over 10 years ago. A woman I seriously considered marrying that I never thought I could replace...I ended up feeling indifferent and even sorry for what a loser she was.
You will find better. Just make yourself better.
bestsparkyalive 6y ago
Wow. Thank you for taking the time to write and share this. Stuff like this really helps you put it all into perspective. I still can’t believe this community is quarantined ...
I’m really sorry for what you went through. Finding her in the bed like that must have been a speechless experience. I don’t even know how to relate to that specifically but I understand the feelings.
ezragriffin 6y ago
> Imagine this; the girl you’re currently dreaming of being roughly fucked by somebody that’s not you.
For added benefits, imagine the Chad is the guy that you hate the most in your life -- the jerk roommate, the high-school bully, the garbage manager etc.
Once you don't feel anything about the imagination, you will realize that she doesn't mean that much to you.
coopdawgX 6y ago
Oneitis is 99.99% of the time based off of a blue-pilled end goal.
She will get old, her tits will sag, and her face will wrinkle.
If this is how you choose to allocate your time to be upset about for more than is necessary, i don’t know what else to tell you.
INNASKILLZ2K18 6y ago
I think your definition of oneitis and pedestalizing are slightly mixed.
Oneitis is when a guy thinks she is the ONLY girl out there. The 'one'.
He thinks about her too much, tries too hard and is over invested.
Solution is to game other women.
I read your oneitis more as pedestalizing.
TRP_Scepter 6y ago
I respectfully disagree.
You're missing the psychological aspect involved in the definitions. You can easily pedestalize a girl without constantly having her on your mind and seeing her as "the one." It happens all the time when, say, we get too attracted to a plate. We do things for her and focus on her moreso than the other plates. We are, in a sense, putting her on a pedestal and our actions show it.
ONEitus, on the other hand, is indeed focusing on *one* girl, but also falling in love with her in a spiritual, platonic, and psychological sense which is why I emphasize one's psychological state resting on how she treats him.
In short, ONEitus is psychological co-dependence, while pedestalization is merely doing putting her above yourself and above the other women in your life.
INNASKILLZ2K18 6y ago
How dare you disagree!
I'm kidding.
Yeah, the two definitely co-exist.
I know for myself I can have oneitis without pedestalizing.
It can happen when I've been really busy and I'm extra annoyed, frustrated at a girl's flakiness or something.
That's when I remind myself there are many more, so who cares?
So in a sense, I think you can have oneitis without a large pedestal.
I see the oneitis you mean, as in she's 'the one'.
Maybe there is a different oneitis which is more a scarcity mindset.

Oneitis is a gift because only through oneitis you will discover genuine abundance once it has run its course.
Thoughts?

I doubt I'm qualified to speak on it, but it took that experience for me to find this place and reframe my outlook on life to that extent.
Foend 6y ago
Its the same story for most people, you can't internalise the red pill concepts for real until you have had that visceral emotional experience. Anybody who knows, knows.
IAmTheOneWhoSlaps 6y ago
Only having seen my girl completely turn on me within a week after 8 years of loyalty made me truly understand the definition of AWALT.
Some things you can comprehend in an abstract way, but to truly know the meaning, you need to experience them.
bobbie42069 6y ago
I find the struggle between not caring about her and caring too much is hard. I haven't texted the girl I'm trying to dick down in over a week. We got a little flirty over text a couple weeks ago but that has since died down. Wonder when and how I should re-engage. Pretty positive she's banging other dudes rn anyways so just trying to make her a fwb.
