I've read some of the sidebar and will continue. I get the basics (sort of). Lift, get your diet right, fix your style/get on that hygiene, stop fapping, and get off of the computer. Those I'm doing or am beginning to do.
1) I'm not asking if I should lift. I'm asking what to lift. Some say 5x5 stronglifts. Others say it's trash. I'm skinny with a fast metabolism, so I'm not sure if stronglifts or something else would be better. I'm not looking to tank up. Just get some musculature and lean mass. You know, to not look like a string bean and also flatten/muscle up my stomach.
2) Martial arts is what I want to do for supplementary fitness. Further increase fitness whilst learning how to hold my own. Could anyone toss me some info about styles that will build fitness, emphasize demonstration/sparring/competition/sport, and are actually effective at defending one's self? Not that hoo-hah summer camp shit. I mean the "if you fight you will get arrested because dangerous" shit.

17M; Can I increase my workout frequency? I currently do full body 3 days a week (Compound movements). I read somewhere on here that since im young and have high T, I could probably work out more. Is it optimal? and If so, what sort of frequency should I be going for?
OzProud92 9y ago
Is it ever ok to tell an LTR that you miss her or care about her?
Or is this needy and unattractive?
NoOneMatters 9y ago
I have made it pretty far to this point. I'm in good shape. I'm working towards a well paying degree. All that good stuff. But I'm having a hard time communicating with women successfully. The conversations are usually boring and monotone. Any way to appear less autistic?
[deleted] 9y ago
There's a lot of talk about how women's value comes only from their pussy. Of course this can't be literally true -- do you want any woman that's got a pussy? No. You value her health, fitness, a personality, some self control, maybe a passion for something.
Question: so are you limiting yourself here? Do you only care about sex? Or do you acknowledge hardworking women are more valuable just like hardworking men, and likewise pursue partners who clearly put some effort into their lives?
TridentMixed 9y ago
Ok...how can a woman find a guy attractive/cute/hot but still not sleep with him immediately?
I know women are not like men, but damn, you hear about all these slutty women out there and how they'll sleep with multiple guys at once. I've seen and heard about girls letting a bunch of guys run trains on them...you'd think it would be easy to just fuck some random girls (especially if they're already attracted to you) within minutes of meeting if it's just you two.
Still though, I've always gotten quite a bit of LMR from most girls or even rejected by girls who have found me attractive. What gives?
corsega 9y ago
You have a lot to learn about women. It's a safety issue for them. Read Mate: Become the Man Women Want and learn about the evolutionary reasons for this.
TridentMixed 9y ago
Thanks for the suggestion...gonna pick it up today.
qassimiut 9y ago
18M; Is there a way to use redpill techniques on men? I'm gay but sometimes I fuck women anyways (I don't really enjoy it, I just do it so I'm more alpha), I was wondering if I could employ this type of stuff to get sex from men.
[deleted]
ShiningConcepts 9y ago
What do you guys think of traveling to a different area where no one knows who you are, maybe getting a facial makeover, and using a fake name to be able to avoid getting baby-trapped if she lies about BC? I wonder, is this immoral, or a perfectly viable strategy to avoid dealing with the manhating court system?
Howlum 9y ago
How do I stop seeking validation from women? How do I stop fearing rejection?
BlueHairBull 9y ago
21M - My girlfriend posts extremely revealing pictures on instagram showing off her physique (talking just in underwear here) on her fake instagram. She posted then sent me a message saying 'Sorry I just realized it might be a bit too much. I don't want to be disrespectful' then asked if I would like for her to take it down. Seeing as it had been up for a while and it was just her friends commenting I decided whatever but definitely had a shifty tone in my voice. What should I do in the future if this happens? We've been dating for 4 months.
sweatyred 9y ago
I'm pretty anti-social, and have no "real friends" only acquaintances. I don't really enjoy most people's presence and get bored of small talk. I'm not lonely at all and am otherwise happy besides not having sex. Do I absolutely have to change my life-style to get women?

NabroleonBonaparte 9y ago
Ignore the anti-social media folks around here (for some reason they can't comprehend that Reddit is also a social network).
I'm going in with the assumption that you're lifting and living an awesome life... That's step 1.
Whenever you do awesome shit, post it to your story.
When ever you hookup/get a girls number/etc add her immediately, she WILL watch your awesome stories to figure you out. This is a low investment DHV for you and since multiple bishes will be looking at your awesome stories, you're effectively gaming multiple girls (dread when they see other girls, imagining how cool you are and how they could join, etc).
Lastly, assuming you've built some rapport and have returning "customers" you can send them inside jokes through the personal chats.
Note: since snaps disappear, girls are a lot more comfortable sending nudes. If she balks about the idea of sending nudes, she's probably trying to put you in orbit instead of fuck.
TL;DR Snapchat fuckin rocks
empatheticapathetic 9y ago
This is what I was after. Cheers. I am not living a crazy life yet but starting a new job soon and moving so will see what opportunities I get.
Is the point just to show exciting shit you're doing?
KravenFire 9y ago
No, the point is to build rapport in what the girls consider a safer environment. The snaps disappear; the record vanishes. Like @NabroleonBonaparte said, girls definitely feel more comfortable sending nudes in SC. Just let them pace it and you will be swimming with clam in no time.
Hell, I never have to even ask! They start sending them when they decide you are the pill their addiction needs.
The whole point is to use the app to build your image into something she will want to be a part of. Just curate an image of someone that leads an interesting life and exudes attractiveness. If you feel confident enough, you could even share your good times while you are out with other women - provided you frame it in a way that makes them envious. This might make them even wetter when they realize that you are already desired by competition.
By the way, you don't have to live a crazy life. I live like a sigma and wouldn't give two shyts about a crazy social circle, but still take the time to make it look like I have something interesting going on. Don't wait until the crazy happens; create the excitement for them. Besides showing off what you do, you will be proving how flexible you are and less like a plain two dimensional basic.
Don't just use it. Own it.
empatheticapathetic 9y ago
Cheers for the advice. Like I said I don't know anyone who uses it so I'm completely oblivious to the whole culture. How do you build up contacts? Is it only women you go for or what.
KravenFire 9y ago
Well, I only go for women, but I have a few guys on there that share some pretty interesting stuff, especially when they re-share some of the great nudes they've received.
As far as building contacts, using other social media to advertise SC availability is a good way to start, if you are established elsewhere. Rule of thumb is not to advertise outright. Just drop a mention that you have it and your user name.
I use the following line: Snapchat- Kraven Fire (or just SC)
Drop yours in that format in your description, without looking like you are asking to be contacted. As for personal encounters, I wouldn't bring it up unless the topic of "how to contact" comes up and you think they are social media savvy. I sometimes just ask how they want to be contacted at the number-swap phase. Lots of girls like the idea of using a throwaway SC account instead of their phone number, and for good reasons. Make it their idea; works a lot better that way.
I know one guy who had business cards for his web business, and he added both his Kik and SC accounts to it along with the other legit info. When he met a girl, he would leave a card with her so she had his number too.
empatheticapathetic 9y ago
Of the girls I have hung around in the past, and my oneitis. Their snapchat is a private thing they don't give out to anyone but close friends. So it would be a big deal to get their snap chat. Almost like an orbiting thing I think. Watching their boring life. Are you supposed to just post your own shit and never watch women's stuff. My oneitis tried to covertly get me to follow her on insta but I knew what was up and ignored it. Wouldn't snapchat have been worse. Or do I just ignore all her shit and use it entirely to post my own awesome shit hoping she sees it?
KravenFire 9y ago
Chasing a oneitis like that seems a little meh. They get you hooked and leave you hanging out to dry just as quick.... but I digress -
SC is kind of private. That is why you make it their idea to add you.
And yes, post your own stuff. Don't bother with what they post unless you see an opening to start a dialog. I watch for an opening then comment on something so they see that you showed some interest.
Play it low-key and do not... DO NOT... attempt to reply right away, unless you want to seem desperate. Make them hang on your reply. Give them reason to think you are so busy and awesome that you didn't have time to reply. In that vein, don't even view their pictures right away. Make them sit for a while (hours maybe) then open them and send a short reply. It's not like they wont be doing the same anyways, to be honest.
the Instagram thing? Just as much trash as any other social media site, but can be gold since other social media like Ok Cupid and Tindr (and Facebook) also leverage Instagram to feed their picture sharing habits. I found one chick trying to cheat - I could see what was going on in her Instagram feed and then BYE!
Never orbit. They won't let you land anyways. That is why you launch them in orbit instead. I think you know what to do there.
empatheticapathetic 9y ago
Great, thanks again. Yeah my oneitis was very hot then very cold, brought me to TRP.
Yeah I know not to ever do anything quickly. That was obvious even before TRP.
How often do you post stuff? Is there a way to see how many followers someone has and how popular a single person is, like a public like system?
KravenFire 9y ago
No public stuff. It is all private unless it is send in groups. I think the only indication of activity with other people is the the SC score, and that thing is near rubbish. Honestly I like the fact that they have little way to track you activities. It is like Kik: each message is sent to a specific account, but with the added stories thing to allow creep mode ;)
I post stuff purely when I feel like it. I do not worry one bit what people think of my posting frequency or content, unless I get some particularly nasty feedback or if all of the lurker chicks start unfriending you. You will eventually know if it is effective once they start chatting with you about the topics you post on.
It is sick how easily this stuff comes to me, especially since I am more out of touch with the whole friends thing than landing the fish in the net.

Reposted from another thread but:
Curious what your thoughts on snapchat are... I am a senior in High School and i am not exaggerating when I say that some of the more desirable girls entertain 90+ snapchat streaks with about 70% of the people being men snap chatting them. I observe the kids younger than me who grew up with snapchat in middle school and many of the relationships exist exclusively in the virtual world with the two people almost never interacting in real life. Still I always see younger teammates/ siblings having streaks with girls for 100+ days even if they have only met the person once or sometimes never. I go back and forth with snapchat in my mind. On one hand, I see it as a great tool for men my age to spin plates and have options. On the other hand, it offers a life of being a perpetual orbiter for many desperate men.
LeadInfusedRedPill 9y ago
Recent girlfriend already has plans to study abroad during the summer, her be her friends have been excited about it and talking about it way before we became exclusive. She was face timing one of her friends last night when I was sleeping over, friend was making jokes about going on a "break" from her bf, gf laughed but called out her friend and put her down. Unsure how I should approach the situation, study abroad program is for 6 weeks. Trying to keep as loose a grip as possible, but still unsure how to proceed.
Edit: one thing that does bother me is how the friend said "if something did happen would you tell him [her bf]", she replied "no but I would kill you"
Subtletorious 9y ago
6 weeks is quite short, so you should be okay. However, don't be surprised if the unlikely event does happen - you know how the game works. If it was 6 months then you would have reason for concern.
MrAnderzon 9y ago
Put her on the back burner
MentORPHEUS Senior Endorsed 9y ago
LDRs at college age tend to advantage the woman only, and end with her connecting with someone in her new location.
Enjoy the ride for now with the "you don't own her it's just your turn" spirit. Part amicably when it's time for her to move. If things pick up again when she returns great, otherwise no loss.
Remaining exclusive while she's physically away has no upside for a young man and much potential downside.
LeadInfusedRedPill 9y ago
I don't think I could do an LDR, I'll have to. Just feels wrong to keep going with it knowing there's an expiration date already set in stone, she has strong feelings towards me. I don't think I could restart it when she got back, I don't do "breaks".
Ainitux 9y ago
For 6 weeks? Dude 6 weeks are literally nothing why do you make a big deal out of this?
juliusstreicher 9y ago
Isn't 3 weeks the cutoff for chicks in an LDR staying faithful? Seems to me that that's what the consensus is. Further, she's already got her friends pressuring her to fuck some guys.
Edit: Changed LTR to LDR.
LeadInfusedRedPill 9y ago
Don't make me second guess myself, I've had enough of that from last night. I made my decision, let me live with the consequences of it.
MAGAchief 9y ago
You need to study a local broad in your area while she is gone. Thats all you need to put your mind at rest.
LeadInfusedRedPill 9y ago
Nice saying, but that's not my character, and doesn't really solve the issue.
juliusstreicher 9y ago
Nothing will solve the issue. It is expected that the chick will fuck some stranger while she's away. You cannot stop it, so, NO, there is no solution. You can, however, look to your own interests. She won't, she'll be looking at some other dude's penis.
RubyOrchid13 9y ago
Time to plate her and move on, lest you get more invested in a girl who still obviously wants to ride the cock couresel. She isn't yours, it's just your turn. Women are really fucking good at making guys feel special. You aren't. Her even entertaining that idea, shows she isn't as invested in you, as you are her. So, time to remote to plate status, and start seeing other people. You are just waiting for it to not end on your terms with the phone call or text of, this isn't working out. Which really means, I've been fucking Chad, and don't need you anymore. Women only see what is right in front of them, and if it isn't you... This is really a no brainier. Be honest, you have oneitis and want to find some magic bullet to save the already failed relationship, that she doesn't even care about, but makes you think it does and you're special! She probably already has guys lined up at the new place.
LeadInfusedRedPill 9y ago
I am too invested, I've known that since the beginning. Gonna have to break up with her tonight. Took a shot of tequila and now in class, hope I can get through it intact.
RubyOrchid13 9y ago
There are articles on how to break up here. Don't argue, don't explain anything, dont get into details, and stick to your guns, short and sweet. She will try to get into your head, do not let this happen. I'm done because you are leaving, and I don't want a ldr. That's it. You don't have to explain any reasons, don't let her shame you as not being a man who can't commit. If you feel like you can plate her, go ahead. Although, that doesn't usually work when someone is emotionally invested like you are.
LeadInfusedRedPill 9y ago
Going to in two hours. Getting really emotional about this, just had to leave class for a bit. Don't know if I'm gonna be able to keep a straight face when I do it.
aDrunkenWhaler 9y ago
So, how did it go? My bet is the conversation took over an hour and you are still together.
LeadInfusedRedPill 9y ago
It took two minutes and we're separated. Tons of texts afterwards and second guessing in my head. She feels like shit and I feel like shit.
RubyOrchid13 9y ago
Good. Now go fuck a bunch of girls. This made you a stronger person, and maybe now, because she obviously didn't before, respect you. She didn't come to you asking what you thought about moving or anything. She just said she was, and assumed you would be on board with it. If anything, she'll come back around, and you will have a much better relationship because she knows if it doesn't go the way you like, you are man enough to leave. Carry this mentality with you forever, and watch as women respect and want you even more. You're biggest tool in a relationship as a guy, is the ability to walk away. Once you get so far in that you can't leave, like you are married with kids, you lose all power and she won't respect you or see you as a leader.
You're young. You'll be fine. Now, go to the gym, lift like a fucking boss, and start to focus on your career. Master those two things, and the rest will fall into place.
LeadInfusedRedPill 9y ago
Ha thanks, appreciate it. I did know about the study abroad beforehand, but I didn't think it through.
adool999 9y ago
I've been seeing this girl for a few months. I have slept with about 6 girls while she slept with 30+. It is bothering me. Should I stop seeing her?
Marcus1138 9y ago
Just don't marry her. If it's just for sex, and you've already fucked her (so not like you're avoiding STDs), then her partner count doesn't matter.
adool999 9y ago
Thank you. That's the plan for now.
Oanahokalugi 9y ago
Does being RP make you a conservative/Republican?
Marcus1138 9y ago
No. Many people are, but there's no causation. Lots of Canadian and European RP dudes who are quite happy with their gun laws, medical systems, and all that liberal stuff.
redpill-account 9y ago
Nah
I'm liberal/ libertarian but I have some conservative "personal views" .
I support social causes and about 50% of SJW(other are batshit crazy)
MentORPHEUS Senior Endorsed 9y ago
No, people here are all over the map politically, though a majority lean right. I'm a generation older than the average reader here, and came of age before the SJW/4th gen feminist archetype existed. Politically I am closest to Classic Liberal/Libertarian (but fit nowhere perfectly), and I'm a strong advocate of considering issues and policies on their individual merits, not according to party lines.
Left/right thinking perpetuates blue pill outcomes, makes straw enemies of people with much in common, and gets people enthusiastically working against their own interests, for the benefit of masters other than themselves.

Here's a question: Why are we posting here instead of askTRP?
I'm just wondering...
MentORPHEUS Senior Endorsed 9y ago
This weekly "megathread" helps relieve the main sub of people posting questions that belong in AskTRP. The mods have to remove dozens of threads each day. AskTRP is available all the time for newer members to ask beginner questions. This helps maintain high quality posts on the frontpage here at TheRedPill.
While we're at it, the sidebar at AskTRP is curated for newer TRP readers; everyone make sure you give this resource a thorough read at some point.
VickVaseline 9y ago
OK, thanks.
So which is the actual preferred place to ask questions?
MentORPHEUS Senior Endorsed 9y ago
Use AskTRP any time you need help. It's not AS active as the main sub but does have a good group of experienced RP men responding. The threads have more permanence as well.
The AskTRP Megathreads get a short burst of higher attention on the main sub, but questions are buried easily, and attention to the threads falls more quickly and permanently after the initial wave.
To answer your question, both places are equally acceptable. The REAL faux pas is to make an AskTRP-level top post on TRP.

chakijz 9y ago
I had a couple of friends visiting me, we haven't seen each other for around half a year as we live in different countries. I've been on TRP for a bit more than half a year now, and let's just say that during that time I've made some significant gains in the muscle department and also in the confidence deparment. I was really happy that they visited me but I couldn't help but feel a bit of resentment from them. Fx, they wouldn't hold eye contact, would often make funny remarks about me (we joke around a lot and make fun of each other, but this time it felt like they were trying too hard to insult me). They would also try to make me eat pounds and pounds of food, even though I told them I can't eat that much because I'm cutting, to the point where one of them would literally tell me two fucking times in a row that I should try his triple cone icecream, even after I said no. Not sure if they're just being polite, but whatever. How come their attitude towards me has changed during this time? We've known each other for more than 15 years, and I'm sure it felt better to be around them before this visit. I really don't want this friendship to go the way it's going, they're like brothers to me. Any advice guys?

do_it_or_leave 9y ago
I come with a personal question for you fellow TRPers, what social activities do you do? What are you good at? Who is your demography?
Recent posts with a strong "Demography" or "Producing vs Consuming hobbies" messages have made the top of the sub, along with my reading on Models on the chapters about about Honesty Living made me realize this is my greatest weekness and I am looking for something I can enjoy, be good at and be a leader/organizer.
Until now my main hobby was gaming, but it is cancerous for my development and I will have to go nuclear and quit it. Lifting gives me an all round boost, but I see that unless i get into juice or make it my job it will not be an activity where I can go and meet people/be social. I went out and did some things like parachuting, paragliding, indoor hiking and indoor hiking were the most fun and most affordable thing I found until now and would really enjoy more ideas of fun things I could do.
Thanks!
aDrunkenWhaler 9y ago
Martial arts is fun and chalenging, and very bonding. Depending on the club, it can be like a new family.
IIlllIllIIIllIl 9y ago
I make friends just about everywhere I go, and since I'm not on social media I actually get their number and follow up with them. Dinner here or there, hell its the simple things.
I recently got good at making pizza, its dirt cheap, and now I can invite people over for a meal. Sit around and shoot the shit, come up with ideas, and gasp have fun even.
enadelb 9y ago
If you like hiking you might look into camping, trail running, nature photography, traveling, and rock climbing. I also enjoy hiking and these are the closest related hobbies. I go out to trails with my dog and my camera and meet people all the time. Part of that comes with not being afraid to engage with the people you come across and make small talk.
cmp89_m 9y ago
I am nearing end of university with a good job. I am smart, lift and so on. I had no luck getting girls. I think it is because of not being good-looking in the face. I asked close female friend (cringe, but gave no fucks) to tell me what she thinks about my appearance. She was all flustered and uncomfortable but I pressed for truth. She told me to get rid of glasses, need to fix my bottom crooked teeth etc. But her uncomfortable standing was obviosuly because of obvious fact: my problem is a lot more difficult: just an unappealing face and that's it. I am also a king of manlets at 5'9. So, typical female not wanting to hurt anyone's feelings. She's fun and smart, only rate her 5/10 but even her did not show attraction signs for me so....feels bad man.
I start not seeing a point in working hard if I can't fulfill one of my deepest desires: to have a a loving family, the one I grew up in. Why am I earning money for? I don't want to bang whores for the rest of my life, I am deeply upset that no one decided to fuck me voluntarily.
Anyone have perspectives on my conclusions?
2dogsandpizza 9y ago
Asking a woman's opinion on anything never works. The reason she gave you shitty answers is because women always beat around the bush. In this case I'm thinking the bush is you being a fatty. Loose the weight and start lifting. Money doesn't mean jack shit unless you want to be a beta bucks.
cmp89_m 9y ago
I am not fat. I weigh 71kg at 175cm. I lift and my body fat is around 15-17% according to measurements I executed following military formula. I have slighly visible abs. Now, with regards to being lean, I am not lean, definitely. I need to go down to 10-12% bf and stay there. Not everyone who struggles with women is fat.
yoghurtorgan 9y ago
Grow a beard, hides half your face but make sure you groom it.
cmp89_m 9y ago
No beard genetics. My father has great beard but my brother and I both have very sparse beards, only on the chin and moustache, that's it.
corsega 9y ago
I have a shit face, but I smashed 20 girls last year. Sounds like you need to work harder.
Lift more, increase your game, increase your social status. Or maybe your fashion sense sucks. Maybe you can try basic looksmaxing on your face. PM me a photo and I can give you more advice.
cmp89_m 9y ago
I am going to take a couple of photos a bit later, if you are still up for advice.

How many new girls do you sleep with per month on average, and what would your level of social skill and Red Pill knowledge be? Would 5 girls a week be guys in the top 1% of successful TRPers?
Peter_B_Long 9y ago
The 1% of successful redpillers wouldn't be pulling 5 girls a week. That shit would get boring believe it or not.
Bigjohnthug 9y ago
According to Slate I'm in the top 0.1% of men in terms of lifetime lay count; sitting at somewhere >120. The best week I've ever done was probably 6-8, I could find out exactly when I get home. Pulling 5 a week, week after week, would be insane. I would say nearly impossible, since my average rate when not exam/holiday/LTR time is one a week. If one a week=top 0.1% of male pop. then 5 a week would put you in the GOAT category. Honestly though unless you were famous the burn out would be immense, even doing two new girls a week makes you a cold cock zombie... me anyway, YMMV.
In terms of knowledge, started lifting at 14 and game at 15. I've tried most everything and would say I'm more qualified than most 'coaches' given I have better results and have even directly competed with several of the RSD guys. I came out on top each time but IMHO the RSD guys are intermediates with excellent marketing so not that impressive. I'm now 22 and in five years of active game I've fucked ~120 girls, been in a serious relationship with an absolute angel, dated models, fucked a pornstar etc. I feel like I'm top 1% for sure since I don't hear about other guys doing this shit either IRL or otherwise.
Also just as a side note, my best night was four new girls BUT that was at Sparty in Budapest. If you ever want to reap the rewards of the gym life and potentially catch multiple STDs having unprotected sex in a pool, hit it up. The whole thing borders on an orgy.
iwan73 9y ago
Fucking love Budapest. You didn't happen to stay at the Budapest party hostels? Retox, vitae, grandio?
Bigjohnthug 9y ago
Yeah, stayed at Grandio and one night at Retox. The hot girls seemed to be a Retox unfortunately... you?
iwan73 9y ago
Yeah I was at retox. Mad place. had the pleasure of spending a month there.

• what kind of competition?
•Find out if there is a pickup lair/frat, then find a cool guy on it that has other interests and hang with him. At least 1-2 per city IME, check the RSD Facebook pages as well.
•Cold cock zombie=no emotions, just a fuck machine. Your Mileage May Vary.
•Herpes or HIV are both super fucked. Hep is incredibly expensive to get rid of, but not as bad if you can afford to. Try to stay clean lol I've managed.
•RSD= very bit-picky specifics about picking up chicks. Probably the least over-analysing pickup crew but still do it too much.

1-2 a month, high social skill and Red Pilled as fuck.
Five girls a week no one is doing unless they devote their entire lives to women. It's unmanageable and your social life and happiness will suffer.

5 new girls a week would definitely be Top 1% in my opinion
It depends on if you want quantity or quality. If I lowered my standards I could bang 5 new girls a week. I prefer to go for quality though. I generally spin 3-4 plates at a time. Not really big on one night stands

the scars will go away with time. The best acne product I have used is this black African soap on amazon.
enadelb 9y ago
First step is to get the acne under control. Once you stop having active zits the scars will start to fade. Unfortunately it just takes time. You can get a dermaroller and try it, I've heard good things about them but never used one before.

How do you guys handle the red pill at a workplace?
Also, what should you do when your work is demanding, say like you get in at 8am and are able to leave only by 8/9 pm or so with only sundays off?
Peter_B_Long 9y ago
Use the 'power/charismatic' lessons of TRP. But do not ever EVER mention anything misogynistic or sexist.
Just keep your head low and do your best at your job. You want points on your resume and career circle, your job isn't somewhere you want to make best friends at.
It's tricky when you have to work with women. We have one HR manager and she's a woman, I've caught her putting her emotions into her choices a few times. You really just have to put up with them but keep it very professional. I made the mistake one time of telling a female co-worker that I was arguing with my LTR when she asked what was wrong. She seemed very concerned and caring and shit, but for the next 2 weeks I had to deal with shit tests from her, sometimes in front of other co-workers, and I eventually dealt with it enough to get the relationship back to where I liked it.
For the long hours, you just have to put up with it or look for another job. Start filling out some applications and going to a few interviews. Then when you get a few leads, ask for a raise at your job and discuss better work conditions. If denied, pack your shit and move on.
doublewhammy18 9y ago
Thanks for the input mate!
Yes, flexible working hours is a must, cos if you don't have any energy or time left in you, life isn't worth anything.
lol I don't know who to thank for if I hadn't known this earlier, I most certainly would've ended up in an extreme work environment like IB.
I know for a fact that red pill at work is one of the most trickiest things to do. Being an alpha man when you're a subordinate to the boss (specially when he is beta to the point he is a cuck) isn't as easy as it seems.
PS: regarding the HR manager thing, i feel you man haha. These fucking bitches can get on your nerves sometimes.
2dogsandpizza 9y ago
Social engineering is critical to your success in the workplace. Use RP principles but do not ever mention them. The workplace is cut throat and will castrate you at the drop of a hat if you fuck up.
As for your second point unless you're being paid a serious fuck ton of money get a new job. Life's too short for that shit.

[deleted] 9y ago
I am around 6"5 and have never worked out but want a physique that is similar to gronks (Have his frame). Where can I find information to do this, do you think my physical attraction with women would increase just based on looking like him from going from an average BMI. 210 Pounds little muscle to 265 shredded
Marcus1138 9y ago
265 shredded will require steroids. You'd probably want a mix, and cycling some of it, so tren, clen, T3, test prop, stuff like that. You'd also want to bulk up, build muscle, then cut for the fastest results. Though that increases your risk of developing gyno, so if your tits start enlarging you'd want to quit the juice until you drop the fat, and then reevaluate things.
With a good steroid course, and 12+ hours in the gym each week on the free weights, I'd say you'd hit 265 in a year or so, maybe 18 months.
Without steroids you'd probably hit about 230-240 pounds shredded in 5 years.
[deleted] 9y ago
I really don't want to roid up, it's more of a personal reason. My friend shot up on tren and dbal and now cannot get an erection at all. He's been to many doctors and his test levels are fucked up, he regrets the decision and I told myself I'll never do it.
[deleted] 9y ago
How could I break into this lifestyle though, and learn a lot about what road I should take to get Lean with mass
Marcus1138 9y ago
Yeah, personally I avoid steroids too. But 265 shredded (sub 12% BF) is impossible for most people natty.
That said, you can still put on a decent amount of mass and get pretty lean, it just takes longer and you max out at a lower weight.
If you have a nearby gym, go there 2-4 times a week and do stuff like squats, deadlifts, benchpress, and bicep curls. Throw in some variation here and there, keep it fun, but that's the core.
Then, depending on your bodyfat, figure out if you should eat more, less, or the same. If you're above 20% bodyfat, I'd reduce my Caloric intake by 200-500 Calories per day. 15-20% I'd eat normally, and slowly turn fat to muscle. Under 15% and you'll probably need to eat at a surplus.

Yet hes got mad bitches hitting him up on instgram and always seems to be bangin a new girl which some of them are pretty hot. But again this kid is a total fuck head

His attitude and his game is attractive to some girls. They definitely want to see what that guy can make them feel but he is not someone they want to bring home to meet mum and dud.

So for first dates I always do way better on the date of we are doing something somewhat physical. I like to go ice skating a lot cause I play hockey and I'm good at it and majority of women suck at it and I can touch them really easily either in a sexual way or just play it off as helping them. I live in a very petty place though and it seems when I invite women to do something other than just coffee, lunch etc. they seemed weirded out and put off by it but I hear guys going to the zoo, beach, something active and something actually fun to do when I feel like I just can't. Anyone else have this problem
corsega 9y ago
If you want to bang, you need to do an evening drinks date. Activity dates don't set the mood right for sex.

Bigjohnthug 9y ago
That's definitely easiest but adventure dates are also pretty easy once you get the hang. The signs she wants to fuck aren't as obvious but are still there if you can spot them. In fact, one of my favourite dates last year was the supermarket date, where we just go food shopping then go back to my house to put my meat away... literally the shittiest date but works because they wanted to fuck anyway.

Don't say "Honey, feminism is cancer that's creating whores, and we should fucking kill anyone who thinks men and women are equal". Or even say anything that sounds like a bitter rant.
In fact, I'm not sure if I'd bring it up specifically at all. Everyone has free will, they'll choose what they want. Feminism is a sexual strategy, and it works damn well for women.
With that said, you could make subtle mentions about how people you knew in college who had lots of sex ended up in bad marriages. Like, you don't want to up and say "according to studies, women who have more partners get divorced more", as that's a lecture. But anecdotes are more subtle and fun if you're not obtuse about it.
Outside of that, I'd just deal with stuff as it comes up. Like if they come home one day and say that all men should be killed, remind them that you're their dad and you're a man, and that there are good people of all genders and races. Encourage equal treatment and kindness towards all people rather than anger and violence.

Asked out this girl, told me she had a bf, my beta self believed her at the time. I soft nexted her realizing I can't fix what I have done. As I pursue another HB9 in the same class, she tries to come crawling back.
She could potentially be my next door neighbor in a few months. Do I next, put her on the backburner for down the road (just discovered TRP, joined a gym, dressing better so I'm changing) and see if she changes for me while I pursue other girls, or just be friendly neighbors and nothing more?
MentORPHEUS Senior Endorsed 9y ago
Internalize that you are the prize, everything will fall into place from there.
Technical nitpick: it's not soft nexting when you were never together in the first place.
Rudeyyyy 9y ago
ok thanks for the tip, and i'l brush up on the glossary. Thanks.
aDrunkenWhaler 9y ago
You can't 'soft next' or 'next' someone you didn't/couldn't have. If she threw you a bone, it doesn't mean she came crawling back. If she's all of a sudden friendly, it doesn't necessarily mean she wants to fuck you. Chances are she wants you as an orbiter.
Rudeyyyy 9y ago
sigh you didn't read my other comments. She was friendly from the start with some touching but my beta self didnt escalate. Now since I can't fix what i've done I try to pursue other girls and she expresses her distaste for it. Havent spoken to her in 2 weeks.
Peter_B_Long 9y ago
escalate with her (kino) and see how she reacts. If she is into it, then keep escalating and get her in your bed. If you try to escalate and she rejects you and starts hamstering an excuse, next her, or soft next until a few months when she moves close by (since you'll be more attractive, better frame, better game, more charismatic).
Rudeyyyy 9y ago
Agreed, there's a chance she might not move here but regardless i'l see her when I get back to uni after the summer completely changed. That's why I said backburner at first. I'm not at a place where I'm satisfied with myself which in turn doesn't give me the confidence and she'll smell it like a shark to blood.
Peter_B_Long 9y ago
Yes she will. Try to aim to be cocky / confident. At the gym and at work, I often give a cocky 'I'm the shit' attitude, but only when I'm actually feeling like that. I've been doing a clean bulking diet and I've been seeing some nice lean muscle mass building in and I'm happy with how I look at the gym during my pump so I get a little cocky.
And don't waste any more time with this girl. If she isn't around right now physically, ghost her. Don't try to build tension through text or social media. Focus on yourself, game other girls, and when she's in town, hit her up.
Rudeyyyy 9y ago
I've made the mistake of trying to escalate through text and it doesnt work. Since we're in college and she's hot, I know i'm not the only guy she's talking too. Except i'm prob the only guy to grow some balls and forget about her which might make me stand out from the pack and have her questioning why.
I'm doing these things (lifting, reading, changing wardrobe etc.) for myself, not for her. She's just a woman. I have my own goals to focus on. Whether or not she wants to join me is on her.
At work i'm more of the funny laid back type and a lot of my female coworkers eye fuck me bc I flirt with them and wink and give this little smirk when they walk by...but I dont shit where I eat. I practice at work to use it when I get out. I'l try it out on her, if she declines, ghost and then see in 4 months down the road where we stand. But i'l be pursuing other women in the meantime.
Peter_B_Long 9y ago
Sounds like you have it figured out. I also try to do some light game on my more attractive female co-workers for practice. But I wouldn't even let it lead to getting lunch together, unless it was more than just me and her. Cause rumors and shit.

Oh I only practice on my good looking coworkers. It boosts my confidence because most of them flirt with me back. But no, I don't see them or rarely talk to them outside of work.

It's not set in stone she will be my neighbor but she said that it'd be nice to know someone around town. Regardless when we get back to university after the summer she'll see how much I've changed. But yes, backburner for sure.
MrTyler_Durden 9y ago
Who said backburner? He said plate her. This chick obviously wants it. Give it.
Rudeyyyy 9y ago
When she is my neighbor. For now she's on the backburner. I'm going to fuck around with some other girls for now, see how she takes it. Maybe she'll chase me, then I'm going to go for it. I'm not going to orbit and wait fuck that.
When she moves here, after i've truly undergone TRP i'm going to escalate. I'm in college, plenty of other poon if this doesn't work out.
MrTyler_Durden 9y ago
I can tell you first hand that she'll chase you if you start pulling in HB8's and 9's. She already got hot heavy when she saw you mac'n on that other chick.
Rudeyyyy 9y ago
I'l tell you a little bit of the story. When I met her we would both walk out the front door after class. She laughs, some touching was going on (my hands on her waist) and the vibe was high. After I fell for her shit test I realized I couldn't really fix it and she see's me as a beta I went for the other HB9 in the same class.
So ever since I fell for her shit test our contact dropped instantly. Pretty much from slim to none except when we saw each other in class. This new HB9 girl in the same class walks out the back where as first girl goes out the front. Last week I decided to leave first one in the dust as I'm already beta in her eyes. So I walk out the back with the new HB9. Chatting her up real well, ready to make a move and in my peripheral view I see first HB9 walk out after us. She sees us, stops, with this dissapointing look on her face, then turns around and walks in the opposite direction. I haven't spoken to her in a week since then.
I figured I did the right thing. She's either looking for attention and wants me to orbit or she's chasing me and wants to get down. Regardless, I can end up banging both or none but there's other pussy to go around in college so i'm not gonna get hung up. It's just the first time a girl physically chased after me lol.

How do you build your self-respect back up after your ego has been smashed down several times?
Ex-LTR was obsessed with me, she had BPD, and constantly up-and-down feelings, she asked for multiple breaks and I kept taking her back, I know I fucked up after taking her back which was what brought me here.
I just want to stand back up and get where I was before it all, just now with the TRP added.
Edit: Line breaks.
enadelb 9y ago
Start small, set some SMART goals and follow through with them. Get fully involved in a hobby that you're passionate about. Start exercising regularly, clean up your diet. Do something that you're afraid to do. Explore the boundaries of who you are as a person by pushing yourself to grow.
IMO self respect is mostly about knowing your own boundaries and enforcing them. Know where you draw the line on the many facets of your life. How many times do you eat out a week? Do you work out regularly? Are you holding yourself accountable in your own life? Be in charge of yourself. Take responsibility for your life and start doing the things you know you should be doing. Self respect is a result of self discipline.
MrTyler_Durden 9y ago
"Self-respect" and instead of ego, maybe we can use "self-confidence"?
So the key words in this two things you mentioned is "self". The ego and your self respect come from within, not from your ex. She doesn't make you more or less valuable of a man, only you get to make or break your value.
You are high value male
You are strong, capable, and filled with natures miracle hormone, testosterone. Use it.
You are smart, friendly, and funny. Any woman would be lucky to fuck you, and any man would be lucky to call you his friend.
She didn't breakup with you, she GAVE you opportunity. Opportunity to go out and be whatever you want to be! You're free man! You can turn yourself into a total badass and not have a girlfriend bring you down. Go do all the stuff YOU want to do now.

After hard-core NoFap for week and a half i feel high energy and ultra high sex drive: i litteraly see a HB6 and i want to fuck her brains out; as good as this all seems i think im coming off as thirsty I somehow need to steer the testasterone away from pussy and let it flow towards other things in life (like i do every time i do a nofap), but now i cant do it this time idk why (20 y/o, im out of town for some time so no plates to bust the nut into)
Peter_B_Long 9y ago
Meditate. It will help with controlling your thoughts and choices. It will help you think more logically. See a HB6 you want to shoot a load into? Well, you can A: overthink it and go home frustrated and shoot a load into your sock. B: Think to yourself, how can I become a guy that she would want a nut on her face from? Then that is how you would begin to transfer those rabbit urges into improving yourself (lifting, meditating, doing something to improve your career, meet new people, do your favorite positive / productive hobby, etc.). Or C: approach her and try to escalate and get her into your bed.
NoChillPhilll 9y ago
Probably the best advice i've been given here, thanks fam
doublewhammy18 9y ago
See man, I'm one of those who dont actually believe in Nofap. In my opinion, jerking off should be moderate ( 2-3 times a week atmost). What I'm opposed to is watching porn. Porn is the worst thing that has happened to men. Stay off porn as much as possible. NoFap is unnecessary hardship onto yourself. Specially if you're out of town and there is nobody to fuck.
Also, this specially applies to men who are starting out on the game. Lift as much as possible and also try to channelize your sex drive towards gaming that HB6 while you're still out of town.(texting/calling/sexting etc.) so that once you get back, you can drill your poll and scoop out the oil.
Amen.

That was not the question; i alredy have high t levels and i can feel it, the problem is that i cant direct the effects of that high testosterone towards anything but wanting to fuck everything that i see P.S. i did heavy leg day last week so maybe the surge of hormone is from that
aDrunkenWhaler 9y ago
You're 20, that's why you want to fuck anything that moves. This won't go away, so better accept and embrace it. Make it a priority to get a couple of plates, or at least a solid main plate, and fuck a few times per week. With empty balls you'll be able to focus better and be more productive.
Rudeyyyy 9y ago
You have to direct it and use your energy, that's why I said lifting. It takes your mind off the feeling of fapping. I'm currently at 43 days, and lifting has been my godsent. It takes away the thought of fapping because 1) you're in public and cant, and 2) you're focusing on lifting and bettering yourself, not sitting home and stroking your rod.
If not then get out and play a sport. I'm 19 so i'm right there with you. I don't play video games anymore. I read now. Try Models by Mark Manson or The Way of Men by Jack Donovan.

18M; Have a problem of seeming low energy and harmless .How do I get that energetic, dangerous and attractive vibe?
MentORPHEUS Senior Endorsed 9y ago
I would suggest checking out a few martial arts dojos and join one. This will give you confidence and frame. The more one learns martial arts, the less threatening and dangerous their frame tends to become. AMOGing and peacocking are insecure behavior traits. It reminds me of the joke about 4 men camping, each from a different branch of the military. Three of them make long speeches about how their branch is the toughest, most dangerous, and elite; while the fourth stays quiet, stirring the campfire with his dick.

dapowa 9y ago
Put on muscle, and lower your body fat. People will automatically categorize you differently from just those alone.
IAmDirtyBands 9y ago
Generally speaking, I'm a fan of being as authentic as possible. Is that what you want to be? Energetic, dangerous and attractive? Then you must do energetic, dangerous and attractive things.
Energy start: eating fruits, vegetables and meat. That will give you physical energy. Additionally, drinking 2-3 liters of water helps.
Additionally, don't jerk off. High sexual energy comes from that.
Do things that push your comfort boundaries. Such things make you excited.
Dangerous start: learn how to defend yourself. Whether you learn how to use a gun or learn a martial art, knowing you can defend yourself in any situation gives you a frame of mind and a vibe that you are not to be fucked with. Your body language will display this.
Attractive start: get in shape. Lift, run do whatever you need to to get the physique you require.

Any advice on learning how to fight?
I've tried some martial arts classes around my area, Jiu Jitsu and Wing Chun.
They both didn't do any sparring and the training itself was very unstructed.
LeGuinness 9y ago
Muay Thai, boxing or mma. Muay thai is the best martial art bar none for stand up combat.
Boxing is also just as good though in 'practical' situations. Also girls will be more familiar with what 'boxing' is than saying you do 'muay thai' - they might think it's some weird useless martial art, regardless of the fact you could kick the legs clean off an average man hahah
IAmDirtyBands 9y ago
I got no advice for you. I don't know how to fight or what to learn.
aDrunkenWhaler 9y ago
What fucking jiu jitsu class doesn't do any sparing? How the fuck can you learn it then?!
Find a proper BJJ club and give it another shot. It's the best martial art you can do for self defense, confidence, mindset and winning at life. Second to that, Muay Thai. 3rd, Boxing. 4th, Wrestling. 5th, Judo. 6th, Taekwondo. All SHOULD include a lot of sparring. Wing chun has a few interesting moves, but a lot of bullshit, so skip it. Actually, skip anything that is not in this list.

dapowa 9y ago
imo, the best martial art for self defense is not also going to be the best one for 'winning at life' -- that sounds like romanticized garbage. they all have their merits, but do not pursue one that has no sparring.
aDrunkenWhaler 9y ago
Romanticezed or not, the lessons you learn from it help you win at life. It constantly breaks your ego and submits you, but also makes you more cerebral, calm and focused facing danger and adversity. Also camaraderie, trust, discipline, respect, all that... If you treat all your problems in life like in a bjj class, always breaking them down and overcoming them without dwelling or panicking, you win at life.

did anybody even read what I typed? I didn't say anything bad about BJJ or any martial art. I said LITERALLY: ".. the best martial art for self defense is not also going to be the best one for 'winning at life' "
Because, the best one for self-defense is the one that allows you to completely neutralize a threat to you and yours' well-being in as short a time as possible. That's what 'self defense' means.
We agree on the long-term benefits of BJJ (and most other martial arts) here, and the way of considering struggles and overcoming yourself and adversity, but I hate to see the lines blurred. I know that you probably know what I mean here.

I second this. Fighting will give you the dangerousness and don't forget to take vitamin D zinc and clomiphene

On the supplementation front, I've recently been taking Nootrone. Has most of the common test-boosting ingredients in it, with some 'nootropic' stuff too. Might be worth checking out if you're in the market.

im taking 50 mg zinc tablets but i hear its not good to take that much everyday
[deleted] 9y ago
It depends, no human being is exactly the same. Some people have great digestion and can handle more of a certain nutrient. When you see people recommending 2 gram / lbs of bodyweight for protein, thats for people on steroids, not for the average guy for example. Allways experiment to find the optimum dosage, 50mg Zinc from tablets is not harmfull for an average height average weight male.

At what point in the Agree and Amplify technique of dealing with shit tests do you stop and realize the chick your talking to must be intellectually retarded? Maybe it's just because finals are coming up and AandA is my preferred way of handling shit tests, but some of my plates and even my LTR are starting to get to be more than just their average level of annoying with their bs.
Peter_B_Long 9y ago
If you are getting more shit tests from different sources then maybe it's time to reflect on yourself. Are you the best man that you can be today? Are you better today than you were yesterday? Or have you been slacking off and skipping meditation or lifting?
I had a cold last week and I put off meditation at night because I wanted to sleep more to feel better. I got better after 3 days but I avoided my meditation for like 5 days, then on Easter Sunday, I woke up feeling stressed out. I went to the gym and felt a little better, but throughout the day I was just dealt with waves of people's shit (mostly woman's.. actually all woman's). My sisters, my LTR, and even my niece could probably tell that I had a weak frame that day and they all just broke me.
And when I'm on a good streak of going to the gym every day and meditating every day, hitting macros every day, practicing my charisma / social skills every day and feeling amazing / alpha, I'll get comfort tests. Last night my LTR texted me that she was crying cause she missed me so much and that she missed my energy and touch. She misses the joy and happiness I bring her.
MrTyler_Durden 9y ago
No it doesn't make them retarded. It makes them women. Shit tests come hand in hand with dating women. Get used to the shit tests because they aren't going away anytime soon, in fact they will get worse the more feelings she develops for you. I don't even agree and amplify anymore unless it's for my own humor. But I'd rather just ignore shit tests instead of coming up with a clever way to pass it.
103342 9y ago
Agree and Amplify is a "beginner" technique. To be honest, any technique that you actively use on shit-tests is a beginner technique.
Shit-tests don't stop, ever. For some they get worse when you are in a stressful part of your life, as you are right now.
Women do this to control you, to see that you are invested in her.
Next time she shit-tests you try this: Don't respond at all. Instead just go study for one of your finals.
Can you do this with a clean head? If the answer is no. That means you are too invested in her. And she KNOWS it.
People think that a shit-test is a "test" like an "exam" that you can actually pass or not. But shit-tests are tests in the sense of TESTING SOMETHING. That means, she is testing your commitment, and doesn't matter what you SAY but what you DO.
Bigjohnthug 9y ago
That's sad. I disagree though. I think if you come from the frame of her needing you and every test being either a joke or a sign of her insecurity (thus you gotta show some love) then they effectively disappear. I mean, for all intents and purposes you aren't getting shit tested if there is 0% chance of failure and 100% chance her attraction will grow whenever she does it.
IIlllIllIIIllIl 9y ago
The last two chicks I was with, I can count the number of shit tests I got on one hand. For me it was frame, and displaying my literal sky high SMV very calm and with collect.
DiViNiTY1337 9y ago
Yes. I think shittests are only really real before she gets to know you. If you shame her for shittesting you when you're picking her up at a bar when she's not at all emotionally invested, you've failed the shittest and she will simply move on. But when she knows you, you can call her out on her bullshit, especially if you can tell it's a sig of her insecurity. Just don't be butthurt about it, calmly state your feelings about her behaviour and leave it at that.
When you're picking her up and dealing with her shittests, treat her like she's your bratty little sister.
When she's your girlfriend and deal with her shittests, treat her like you would treat a daughter who's misbehaving. Sometimes (most of the time) AandA or dad-joking it away is just the way to go but if it's completely out of line she needs to be shamed and told that sort of behaviour is unacceptable, and will not be tolerated.
She's not just looking for an alpha, she's looking for the alpha. Who was the alpha when she was growing up? That's right, her dad.

Are family values outdated?
rafanadal14 9y ago
No. Have whatever values you want, as long as they're not harmful to others/yourself.
Marcus1138 9y ago
Family values are fine. Look, there's nothing wrong with wanting a wife, kids, a house, and all that, and wanting a nice peaceful life with them. For all the talk on here, not every single woman will divorce you after 2 years.
Just don't be a dumbass, stay attractive, and don't marry someone unless you've been dating for at least a couple years and you'd trust her with your life. No guarantee that it'll work out, but nothing in life has a guarantee.

Only if you're white and live in the West. Everywhere else, where a false sense of wealth has ruined social cohesion and values, people still care about their families and the society they live in.

Job related question.
I work a typical warehouse assembler job that I just started 2 weeks ago.
Yesterday I saw a ad on Craigslist for machinists trainees wanted that'll double what I make now. Problem is I can't find the time to apply there during the hours they accept applications because I'll still be at work ,by the time I get off they'd be done accepting apps for the day. On the other side of that I can call off because I'm on a probation period for my current job. I'm aware that nothing as far as jobs go is guaranteed until you get that first paycheck but I believe I can get this position. Doesn't hurt to try either.
What would you all suggest? Thanks in advance.
Marcus1138 9y ago
Shoot them an email or call them up to ask if you can submit your application outside of the listed hours, or email it to them. Explain that your work hours prevent you from applying normally, but you think you're a great fit for the role and want to find a way to apply.
Huskimbo9 9y ago
I should have added in there is a written test that goes along with it .
I'll take your advice and try that tomorrow. If I had to go back in person so be it.
BillyBong024 9y ago
Im in my senior year of HS and didnt really get good looking until this year but Im often told im easily the best looking guy in the school. (Not trying to sound arrogant). I feel like Im these natural gifts that many people have to work to get go to waste. I think my question is: How do I build confidence and courage?
Bigjohnthug 9y ago
Try and fail, you'll realise it isn't too bad. Try and succeed, you'll realise it's awesome. Confidence comes after consistently doing both and getting comfortable. Confidence just means the circle of your comfort zone is fluid.

I think it comes down to what expectations you want to set. Immediate responses imply that you will be punctual and are constantly monitoring SC.
I practice this a lot. Instead of trying to respond as soon as something comes in, I just relax and respond at my own pace, and maybe a little extra time. Responding too soon can make it seem like the only thing I have to do is wait until another message arrives. I sometimes leave a message for hours even though it seems like they wanted to know what I was doing now. It implies that I was doing something interesting and did not want to be interrupted by something as trivial as Snapchat.
Live more and respond smartly.

I'm 16 in highschool. Love lifting, fashion, and music. But i give off gay and flamboyant vibes that I think are hurting my game. Got out of a relationship 2 months ago and have 3 girls on call by now. But it feels like if i came across as masculine it would be easier to game girls. How do I do that?
MrTyler_Durden 9y ago
Pick up manly hobbies. Or don't, honestly it really doesn't matter. I've been told I come off gay, in fact, I had this gay guy invite me over to his place a couple weeks ago. I thought he was just super friendly, but nope, just super gay and he thought I was too. I'm used to do it, but could care less because I know one on one with a girl, they lose it. And me being "extra" friendly or giving off a "gay" vibe just means I take care of myself.
I've also had girls think I was gay who I later banged when they found out I wasn't. So it can't really damage your game unless you let it. Own it, and you shouldn't have any problems.
MAGAchief 9y ago
If you are in a rural area where girls are conservative and fly confederate flags then you could have a problem if you are too flamboyant. Whereas in the city, I think girls like guys that know fashion etc.

Moving to a new city with little social experience. What are the techniques I should be practicing to start with since I'm a beginner? For instance, openers. I plan on going to the clubs around me but I also should know openers for grocery stores and other day time places. By the way, I live downtown with a high rise apartment with hot tub. How do I capitalize on this the best way?
