Got the F up and went | TheRedPill

Friday night, and I am sitting at home alone with my 4 year old son sleeping away in his room--and I was contemplating. Thought I came up with some gold, and for the moment it was. Came here to make a write up about it, then saw the "fuck yo theories--do shit" post. Thought that was much better than anything I could have offered up, so thats what I set out to do. In my few months journey on TRP, as I have mentioned in previous posts, I have been making a serious effort in just gaming everybody. Any time, anywhere. Old wenches to young buff dudes and everyone in between.
I am a single dad, living thousands of miles away from any family. Holiday weekends can be rough. But, taking that post to action led me to meeting a real solid dude in a McDonalds (I know, I can hear the fucking cringe right now--but I wanted a goddamn cheesburger, fuck off!!) Anyway, got to talkin with him and his wife who he refuses to actually marry (like I said, solid dude) and hangin out with their kids. They werent doing shit this weekend either. So I told them to come out with me and my kid to the lake. They invited us over for some grilling and letting the kids play around a bit before hand. Good people, good beer, good times for all.
We head to the lake with our kids, and toss them all in the water till our arms were dead. I see this hot 20 yo artsy chick walking by checking me out hard. So I tell her to come to me. She complies. I told her I was digging the tattoo she hadjust under her tits (while I touched it). It was, in fact a solid tattoo.
I was busy playing with my kid, and hanging out with some new friends, so the conversation was less than 30 seconds, but I just asked her out on a date. She gave me her number. I got a busy as fuck week ahead, then travel to the next state over next weekend to start taking action on my life's fucking mission. So I told her Id call her in a week. She seemed to dig that.
So, from lonely single dad basking in self pity--to having a damn fun time, and a date with a sexy artist (got that out of some quick text game. And she was trying to shit test the fuck out if me). Once again, thank you TRP!

Life is 10% theory and 90% action. You proved that!

About 50% of the reason most men fail is a fear of rejection.

Most men don't talk to strangers in McDonalds and try to make friends. They're too shy, timid, and worried about rejection. Most men don't motion over some hottie with a cool tattoo and lay their hands on her. They're worried about rejection.

People don't know how to talk to people any more. 99.9999 percent of your friends are either people you go to school with or used to go to school with, people you work with or used to work with, and people you live near or used to live near. Also, you might meet people through your friend circle. Like you might meet your best friend's co-worker at your friend's birthday party or something.

But that's it. Every single friend a guy has was forced into proximity with him by life's circumstances.

Guys think that if they don't have an excuse or a good reason to talk to somebody, that they're not supposed to talk to them. That it's weird to talk to people if that person isn't already your friend, being introduced to you by somebody that's already your friend, or has been forced into proximity with you due to mutual work/school/living arrangements.

It's stupid. Just talk to people. Sure, half the time, or even more than half, it's stupid, awkward, and embarrassing, but the rest of the time, you walking up and talking to someone was the most interesting thing that happened to them that day. Because most people are too chicken-shit to talk to people and make life happen.

Could not agree more! And some days, I am still chicken shit. I actually started to implement Elliot Hulse's bioenergetics when I feel like a worthless pile. It actually helps a shitload! And as for making somebody els's day better? It really just makes my day better. Even if all I could muster was a "hi" with direct eye contact to the cute girl in the grocery isle. I get a rush from it for sure. PEOPLE ARE MEANT TO HAVE FACE TO FACE INTERACTIONS WITH PEOPLE. That is the one thing I have been noticing.

Your message is on point. I hope that someone will gold you and more people will get this into their minds.

Electronics ruined social interactions.

Once upon a time I worked in cold call sales. If nine out of ten people told me to goto hell, and one listened to my pitch, that was good. If every third person that listened to my pitch, I closed the sale, I got rich. That's one out of 30. I am rich.

I wish I could find the post (maybe it's in the subreddit top somewhere), but someone around here once described this perfectly.

The key to being great at this is to basically share your inner monologue with people around you. It works very well.

Archwinger Endorsed Contributor 9y ago

The key to being great at this is to be awesome, THEN share your inner monologue with people.

If you're a boring fuck-up or a weird-ass, walking up to strangers and talking to them about your coolest Dungeons & Dragons character because that happens to be on your mind isn't going to make you friends just because you're authentic about it and own it.

Being yourself, as hard and authentically and awesomely as you can, only works when yourself is actually worth a shit.

GR8AGN 9y ago

Good shit, man. Keep up the good momentum you have and don't stop putting in effort now that you are seeing results. Remember, a body in motion, stays in motion.

Bing400 9y ago

Yeah make sure not to lose that motion somehow, OP

[deleted] 9y ago

Oh constant self improvement my man. Never fucking ending. Still gotta quit smoking...still gotta change my diet (going to try paleo for a month) get better at gaming bitches, get working on my life's mission....shit the list is litterally endless. How could I have the time to not keep the momentum up? But there are still days that suck. Friday night was one of them.

Chantix bruh. Trust me it works if you use it correctly - and free on most insurance plans..

Gotta comment that a low carb diet, in addition to any exercise routine, but especially HIIT worked wonders for me. Once you get into that ketosis the fat melts off everyday. Tuned me up to the lose of at least 40 but before realizing i went to far 60lbs.
Funny, just finished my 'to-do' list. Always the first thing i do after ending a LTR (besides vowing never to get into one again) is make a honest inventory of what i did right, what i did wrong and what improvements i need to implement right away.
It's also the best way to not have an anger phase. If you are honest, then u must take responsibility for your wrongdoings, never can blame women. AWALT. whats the point. Tonight, when i new it was abt to end w the old lady. I was called a saint by her own cousin. Followed by, 'you can expect to understand her as well as u can expect to change the way rhe wind blows.' Of course, the cousin was a female.. but she was 100% right abt this one.

BigBrotherZiggy 9y ago

Ketosis is something that makes me wonder. I know how it works and all of that, but I've read a couple of times having too little carbs going on leads to suboptimal functioning of some bodily functions, unfortunately I don't recall exactly which, but I do know, for instance, that you need carbs to better use protein. Of course that's not to say the "normal" carb heavy diet, but still, not as low as most ketogenic diets seem to suggest.

NoFapColdShower 9y ago

Yeah its probably not the best way to go unless you're overweight. If you're overweight or even obese, its more damaging to continue to be fat so you should probably burn it off quickly until you're down to about 15-12%

[deleted] 9y ago

I have no idea how my body and mind will react to it. Thats why I will try it out for a month. If it works out, great! If not...well then I know.

Sumsar01 9y ago

You will have a adaption period but after around 3 weeks all should be okay. Do remember to eat a lot of vegtabels and fingers though. They help with flushing out the ketones and avoiding acidic blood etc.

BigBrotherZiggy 9y ago

Is fat supposed to functionally substitute carbs? That seems unlikely. What it looks like to me is that there is a trend of demonizing carbs. As with any other macros, there's intelligent and there's dumb consumption. I know individual examples are just that, individual, but if I may use my diet as an example, it's all about planning your intake of low and high index carbs according to your energetic needs and doing a bit of fasting at night, which helps with sleep. That's enough to maintain bf levels, and if you want to bring it down some HIIT sessions a week will quickly show results. I find it hard to believe ketosis is THE magic pill - it's just another method, and doesn't seem to be a healthy one, carbs are there for a reason(just don't fucking eat snickers)

Sumsar01 9y ago

Yes, ketones take the place of glycogen to produce energy for your body. Of course, all weight loss is based on energy in, energy out. But the idea here is that fat doesn't increase your insulin. Which is what makes you hungry, so it will help you not to overeat.

You also don't NEED carbs, your body only needs fats and proteins and fat is used in a lot of processes like building new cells etc. so having more fat in your diet can help with recovery etc. and research has shown a lot of healthy benefits. But your right it's not the end all be all, it's just another way.

Feom first hand experience, I can tell you that single dads have an uphill battle. Don't take time off to be super-dad. Keep gaming and balance the two. I stopped dating to be super-dad and lost my mojo. TRP is giving it back. Good luck, dude.

I am in aviation. I can't tell you how many times I have heard "put your own oxygen mask on before assisting others." And in an emergency situation on board an aircraft, it makes complete logistical sense. However, something awesome happens when you apply it to day-to-day living...

fischbrot 9y ago

details on shit tests? (congrats still )

[deleted] 9y ago

Nothing of real importance. More of I am in charge if this conversation, not you--and so she tries to push back.

Quick example: me: tell me something interesting about yourself in one word.

Her: How old are you?

Me: that aint intersting and is more than one word.

Etc etc etc....

LittlePipe 9y ago

Lmao, give us more examples, please.

[deleted] 9y ago

Hey man, I was just starting out only months ago. I sure as fuck liked examples of real world technique. Shit, I aint a master--I still do. Next time you feel the need to post shit--make sure it adds value to the conversation. That, or shut up and do your own thing!!

[deleted] 9y ago

[deleted] 9y ago

Haha! How could I possibly plan a date that I would enjoy the shit out of, and habe a good probability of her digging it too if I didn't know a damn thing about her? My face to face interaction was litterally 30 seconds. Based solely around initial physical attraction. So I kept the text conversation extremely short. But got the info I needed.

Sir_Distic 9y ago

Frame. Next time someone tries trolling you realize how cute it is. Laugh at it. You don't have time for that.

[deleted] 9y ago

Oh it doesnt bother me personally. It onky bothers me because TRP forum is a solid place that has truly been helping me in every asoect of my life. My goal is to give back if it adds value to someone else. But I will not tolerate shitheads trolling the place up ruining it for people who are trying to make a difference for themselves and society.

Sir_Distic 9y ago

The Mods can take care of that. And they do a great job. Just like in real life there will always be people who are angry or who troll others. Just ignore them and enjoy your life. As for your post I'm proud you went out and did what you enjoyed doing. Meeting a cute girl was a nice bonus for you. Good job.

theamazingswayze 9y ago

Did you talk to him about why he refuses to marry?

Is she ok with that?

How can you convince your lady to not marry or have kids?

Very interesting post

[deleted] 9y ago

Haha fuck social acceptability man!!!! TRP in and of itself aint acceptable socially!! I am out for me. For your question--it just came up. It was no interogation

theamazingswayze 9y ago

I know it's a little imposing to ask something like that, but how did you get the point that he revealed he wouldn't marry?

I assumed you guys got into a deep conversation.

Edit: replied to somebody else I thought was OP.

Good job OP!

Nice job, man! I love this shit! You seemed to be keeping your head above water, very well, and when the opportunities appear, you just jumped the fuck out to hunt! Keep that energy going, man. That spark should never be put out. It'll only grow stronger.
