Spent a transformative summer dry/water fasting, taking probiotics and kefir, and facing my demons. Got down to 12% bf from 18% stubborn fat, am no longer depressed, much enlightened. I wonder if I should write about this

Write and see the reception. Writing will certainly will bring insights about yourself more valuable than all the appreciating you could ever receive from a post.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Chad.
After discovering TRP a month ago I've done a lot of reflecting on my life. I came here because I pedastalized a oneitis and told her how much I liked her. Fortunately for me this one was honest and told me that I was "too nice for her," which fucked my head up and brought me here.
I'm pretty well known as that asshole who says anything, makes everyone laugh and has a general IDGAF attitude. I manage to attract girls that I have zero interest in, but have always struggled when it comes to girls I'm attracted to. I've had extreme approach anxiety, I start trying to be nice, agreeable and flounder into a total beta.
I've been trying to get out more and be more social, but I'm looking for ways to turn this off. Now that I've diagnosed the symptoms I'm trying to figure out how to treat the disease.

You're still pedastalizing these girls. It's easy to have a idgaf attitude around girls you don't gaf about. You need to act that same way around girls you're into as well
[deleted] 8y ago
Yup, problem is I start getting anxiety and stuck in my head. Admittedly I came here hoping to gain knowledge to go back after my oneitis, but I've had to refrain because I understand the material I just struggle to implement it. I'm trying to get out more and build abundance mentality, but my friends are all married lames so new social circle is my first goal.

The first step is being aware. Good job.

If there’s a girl involved(romantically), no matter how close you are to your male friend, he will most likely betray you.

Interested in how social dynamics may influence SMV.
alliances, cliques, social groups etc which have the potential to amplify favorable frame and project a high SMV

Except with the problem of being a voluntary slave to one woman for the rest of your life in the name of "family is the ultimate goal of a man" moralizing.
You, by your own volition, tie yourself to the whims of your wife who:
You:
I'm not talking about "marriage is bad b/c laws are bad", I'm talking pure RP m-f dynamics perspective.
It's a fucking disaster for a man b/c it brings EVERY imaginable negative thing a woman can do/be right to your very own home 24/7 for the rest of your life, while simultaneously you turn yourself BY CHOICE (and therefore position yourself as) into BetaBux candidate.
You're trying to achieve BP goals with RP tools. You think that b/c you both are RP it somehow negates or makes the typical problems with women go away. It doesn't do that at all.

My friend has reached quite an ideal situation for him. He's married but after a few months he and his wife realized that the other person couldn't provide for every (sexual) need of the other. They both agreed that it's not possible to own the other person. So they decided to have an open marriage. She used this privilege once, and he hasn't so far. He says for him the feeling of freedom is more important than actually fucking other women. Meanwhile they're having their second child and seem to have their lives just like they want it. I respect that.

Fuck the whole country. Stop caring about people that do not care about you.
JamesSkepp 8y ago
I doubt that the primary thing that develops the country is family or social norms. It's in the overwhelming majority the execution of law, economic stability, change from exploiting natural resources to production (be it agricultural or industrial) and free trade (internal and external).
Feminism is not "an experiment" we made. It's something that started as organic movement of suffragettes in the late 19th century and slowly grew in scope when it comes to the objectives. Nobody in the Western world "did feminism as an experiment".
To get rid of feminism - that will work. TRP and feminism are mutually exclusive. As for stability - TRP is a toolbox that contains things like dark triad, amorality and getting ahead. You will not get social stability from RP and family worship. TRP/RPW marriages will not solve crime and economic problems.

It is, but you're overestimating the impact and the target audience capabilities to change when married.
Look at Africa. They are strongly patriarchal, probably RP to much greater extent than West is, and yet they still struggle. And that's b/c the governments are powerless to execute law and provide stable environment, both physically and economically. Same goes for entire Middle East - it's a strong patriarchy, they don't have feminism or PC bullshit and yet none of the countries (big maybe with the exception of Saudi Arabia) could be truly called a developed country on par with Western ones. That's b/c they lack what I'm talking about, not b/c they lack RP men and women.
About the study - it's from Denmark. That's not a good example. Denmark is not known for having problems with lawlessness and crime. I completely agree that marriage does reduce the "anger" of men and therefore makes them less likely to engage in crime BUT it's in Denmark and we're talking about a dude they did what? Stole, did some drugs, beat up some people? This is petty crime. Do you realistically imagine an African warlord and his band of hired guns to stop killing others b/c they got married.
Furthermore, you say "RP men". Dimwit criminals that do petty crimes are unlikely to adopt a nuanced strategy of TRP (not to mention the "advanced RP" that is marriage while trying to maintain alpha status) as a way out of their situation. It's possible but not likely.
I agree, they will, but how many of that marriages would you have to have to change the situation. Say your country has a serious theft problem. To fix that you're going to have to marry majority of the thieves. How do you imagine to achieve that? On top of that how do you imagine to make this a RPMan/RPW marriage? It's just not realistic as a solution to making a country MUCH better than it was before.
Every country that managed to achieve some form of developed status started with brute police force an army getting rid of serious criminals and by implementing major economic reforms. Social norms follow stability not the other way around.
I get that RP will help the situation, but it's more akin to taking pain medication after major surgery. It helps, but it's not the actual lifesaver.
