I was trying to come up with a list of basic TRP truisms or axioms that would begin to summarize what I've read here in the last year.
In no particular order, and whether I believe them or not, here is what I can remember so far:
- post-feminist societies lack a positive model of masculinity for men.
- women control access to sex, men control access to commitment.
- read the stuff on the sidebar or GTFO.
- the hierarchy of love means that women cannot love men the way men can love women. Men love women, women love children, children love puppies.
- happiness is a choice.
- nothing is permanent.
- hypergamy (women are careerist in their relationships with men.)
- women have a dual mating strategy (AF/BB)
- women evaluate whether to stay or branch swing using shit tests, and everything is basically a shit test.
- women crave excitement, positive or negative, on an animal level it's all the same to them.
- abundance is a choice.
- she's not yours, it's just your turn. (you can't own women, love is not belonging, etc.)
- pop culture is a blue pill propaganda machine.
- there are 3billion+ women on the planet, yet no unicorns. (AWALT)
- TRP is the radical notion that women are people, and history shows that given the option people are pretty terrible.
- if you are not lifting, reading philosophy and about game, mastering something, and getting your shit in order, you deserve failure.
- frame is game.
- briffaults law (women's promises are only as good as the payoff)
- "nice guys" are at best, bitches, at worst, manipulative covert contract issuers.
- The stoics, Aristotle, Sun Tzu, Machiavelli, Nietzsche, and Emerson, provide the classic philosophical foundations for TRP.
- modern philosophy is self-help Robert Greene, and the host of endorsed TRP writers like Rollo Tomassi, w/ occasional plug for Jack Donovan and Nassim Taleb.
- Economically, TRP men tend to veer toward where the Austrian school meets Behavioral.
- Politics is something men endure.
- women cannot be relied upon to act according to principles. e.g. her word is basically worthless. (all's fair in love, and war, etc.)
- a TRP man doesn't bet his life on a woman, so her word doesn't matter that much anyway.
- marriage in it's current legal form is a shitty deal for men
- when a woman has sex, something of her is spent (not sure what)
- when a man has sex, something about him is developed. (not sure what)
- beta masculinity, by which women are instinctively revolted, is indoctrinated into western men from a young age.
- alpha masculinity, which has a side effect that women are instinctively attracted to it, can be learned and developed.
- without intervention, single mothers raise crappy men.
- romantic love is a "noble lie," that preserves social order with hope for betas, and sets a demonstrably unrealistic standard of behavior for women.
- if you have to be gay, be like Jack or Milo, or even Roosh.
- don't get married.
- when men seek personal and moral validation from women, they become lesser men. if you need that, talk to god.
- women who reject their own femininity with dyed/short hair, tattoos, smoking, self destructive behavior, are like a parade full of red flags.
- feminist laws have created social instability that will result in eventual collapse.
- white knights are moral weaklings who use in-group social approval as a cover to attack perceived dissidents .
- political correctness is censorship.
- "rape culture" is a moral panic.
- critical theory and gender studies are nonsense.
- feminists are useful idiots for cultural marxism.
- having libertarian views is ok.
- whining about racism when you don't lift, read, make money or have game, doesn't make you oppressed or make women bitches, it makes you beta.
- Lift.
edits: spelling, clarity.

Excellent post OP.
That just reminded me what my mom said about love. She said, "After a while when me and your father were married, I could've chosen getting bored from it and I could've chosen not loving him (and his family). But I chose to love them and we were all happy. It's all about your choice".
And my in father's words; "Women try to trap and capture you by the concept of love. If you're not buying it, they will still try to talk you into marriage by using your feelings. They might manipulate you. I got married because I wanted kids and because of my faith. If you ever going to marry, just be extremely careful who you choose".
Also he advised me to fuck escorts instead of regular women. Because regular women can get your head in a lot of trouble. My parents are not perfect as they're human but I can say I was raised by a relatively RP family. Because my father didn't break frame about what kind of a marriage he wanted.

Thanks for fixing the link it is hilarious but true.

Solid summary post.
I can see why you would say "frame is game," but I prefer to separate them. Frame is strategically sustaining an indomitable masculine persona in all situations. Game is tactically stimulating arousal to raise a woman's sexual temperature closer to her buying point.
Game gets the ball rolling and frame sustains it. And the more frame you have, the less game you need. If your value is high enough, game becomes superfluous, if not counter-productive. But sustaining frame is always a good strategy.

All agreed, but slightly ironic.
And then 95% of the post talks about women, rather than a positive model of masculinity. But fair enough, this sub does talk about women too much.
0xdada 10y ago
It's true, but (to beggar the metaphor) this is just the pill that pops you out of the simulation, and we need it just to begin to comprehend the rest of the story.
There were a few other things I could think of, like a great post by a guy who was saying that the anger phase seems to dominate because when this stuff hits you, you bug out for a while.
The anger is just the initial effect of having your illusions shattered, hence disillusionment, but it is not the substance of the worldview.
The sexual strategy part is that abundance and the veritable gale of pussy that comes after is an effect of being on the other side, not just a goal to chase. The lamest criticism is it's like promising if you adopt an objectivist anti-everything attitude that alienates everyone around you, you will be rewarded with 72 virgins afterward, and you never hear from the losers who get there because they never have friends again. It's laughable, but that's basically what the blue pill world thinks of us. I'm not worried. :)
MattyAnon Admin 10y ago
Agreed, mostly...
Only partially. There are other factors. Simply "passing" shit tests isn't enough to get nor keep a woman, and you shouldn't expect nor plan to keep her around unconditionally. She isn't offering you the same privilege.
briffaults law = women's promises are worthless.
Marriage will now always be a shitty deal, because the laws surrounding marriage can and will change. Even if they revert the marriage laws 50 years, nothing can stop them going back again.
n-count+1 means another step closer to the thousand-cock stare, a little less of herself to be given to men, a further exaggeration of her pseudo-virginity lies. The statistics on the female dissolution of marriage correlating with n-count back this up.
Confidence, charm, self worth. The realisation of his sexuality and sexual strategy being successful. There is no correlation between male promiscuity and cheating in marriage. (Not that I see this as overly relevant as marriage is fucking ridiculous for men anyway)
Rape culture is vilification of men in the face of falling rape statistics. In its place is the myth of "rape culture", the ability to vilify all men regardless of wrongdoing. It's the equivalent of "Patriarchy", a bogeyman whose existence can never actually be disproved.
But yeah, basically all true, +1 for the synopsis :)

Any one can summarise in layman terms what is the Austrian school of economics ?
And the behavioral for that matter ?
0xdada 10y ago
They are themes. There are a lot of left leaning guys on TRP as well so it's not a monoculture, but these themes get upvotes.
Austrian: http://www.learnliberty.org/videos/schools-thought-classical-liberalism-part-4-austrian-school/
Behavioral: http://www.behavioraleconomics.com/introduction-to-be/
HS-Thompson 10y ago
TRP isn't about the subtleties of economic models and shouldn't be. There's a lot of nonsense and dogma in Austrian school economics. At root TRP is about seeing the truth, and thus TRP isn't really about dogmatic thinking.
Talking about behavioral economics is different however, as it's much more closely related to psychology and has a fair amour of affinity with some elements of TRP.
Behavioral economics isn't really an ideological school of thought though, it's a methodology. The two concepts you mention are slightly apples and oranges.
0xdada 10y ago
Indeed, TRP isn't dogmatic, but there are individualist themes in attitudes toward the dark side of the welfare state that have precedents with the Austrians. It is a "heterodox" way of thinking.
Arguably, the Chicago school is also dogmatic, but uses pretend physics and mathiness to discredit and exclude non-believers/practitioners.
Let's face it, whatever we might believe, on TRP it's not like you are going to get a lot of upvotes for quoting Krugman.

I would change that to:
Let your metric be your success. Your career, your aesthetic, your acheivments, not what others say about you. Seeking approval from the men around you means you value them as men higher than you value yourself. Seeking approval from women means you value them for more than they can actually provide you.
0xdada 10y ago
this is interesting, as I wanted to leave room for the "as iron sharpens iron" thing. Being able to accept guidance from other men makes you strong, as only punks can't take it. But if someone is needy of approval, yeah, you're right. I suppose it's a balance.
cuntbh 10y ago
My personal guide is whether I'm acting to gain approval from my peers, or acting to perform the actions, sort of chicken and egg. I do what I want, not what my friends want to watch.
When I cook, I allow my housemates to try what I make, and accept their praise (and criticisms), but I don't seek them out for opinions.
CDBaller 10y ago
If one of your housemates is a gourmet chef at the best restaurant in town, you'd value his opinion more and might use it as more of a reliable metric over the others'.
Men are meant to have mentors and teachers. Without them, civilization does not progress.
To continue the metaphor, once you master cooking certain dishes, you may not seek approval or criticism because you know you have mastered that dish and couldn't give a shit what others think.
