Summary
I often find myself talking to my close male friends about The Red Pill and trying to outline the teachings.
I’m going to outline what TRP is, and how you can use this knowledge to your advantage.
What is TRP?
I want to sum it up in a a paragraph.
The Red Pill is a philosophy based on the cold, hard, reality of the sexual market place. Women are at their prime in their 20s, and their sexual value starts declining at around 28. Men, on the other hand, get into their prime in their 30s. Women will spend their 20s fucking bad-boy alphas (those guys with the full sleeve tattoos, snapback caps on and a tan, who we like to call Chad Thundercock(s)), and then reach 30 and realise that Chad Thundercock won’t fuck her anymore. So, she looks for a beta provider. This is a man who will happily put this woman on a pedestal. He will make this woman his absolute mission and priority, and he will pay for everything. The woman now gets the best of both worlds. She gets her pussy filled in her prime, then gets everything easy in her 30s. When we understand this cold, hard reality, we are able to make certain changes in our own life to take advantage of the current situation of the world.
With this knowledge, how can we use this to our advantage and learn how to fuck multiple girls?
Let me break this down for you.
Lift.
You’ll find that this sub-reddit talks about lifting so fucking much. Every man should have a gym membership.
Why?
- You will be physically stronger.
- You will have more confidence.
- You will look MILES better.
- You will have a new sense of purpose and meaning in your life.
- You will make new, male friends in the gym.
- You have a steady stream of new women you are able to meet.
- You learn to handle difficult situations. (Loading 200 kilograms onto your neck and squatting your ass to the floor makes handling your dick head manager a doddle, trust me).
- Stress relief.
- Improved posture.
- Teaches you discipline and work ethic.
How do I begin?
- Compound lifts. Stick with what works. Bench press, squat, deadlift, pull ups, bent over rows, shoulder press, tricep dips. Go on YouTube and look at how to perform these lifts.
- Start with a 5 x 5 strength training program. (This is recommended not just by myself, but my strength and conditioning coach). Check out Rippetoe’s Starting Strength or Stronglifts.
- Sleep 8 hours per night.
Nutrition
Putting the right fuel in your body will do wonders for your performance inside and outside of the gym. You will have more energy to tackle your tasks and you will reach your fitness goals, whether it’s gaining muscle or losing fat, much faster. Some people say 60% nutrition, 30% training, 10% supplementation. I say it’s 100% training and 100% nutrition. No slacking.
If you’re 18+ years of age, and you’re still regularly eating fast food and you don’t know how to cook, trust me, you’re missing out on a resourceful skill that will add years onto your life expectancy, save you money, and as mentioned, improve your performance.
If you are trying to add muscle in the beginning, you need to eat more calories than your body requires.
If you are trying to lose fat in the beginning, you need to eat less calories than your body requires.
Protein should be at a high amount (1g per pound of bodyweight), and come from natural sources, such as chicken breast, minced beef, tuna (tinned or steak), beef steak, turkey mince, salmon, eggs and nuts.
Carbohydrates should be high if you’re adding muscle, low if you’re cutting body fat. Sources should include, white or brown rice, white potatoes, sweet potatoes, pasta, quinoa and oatmeal.
Fats should be moderate. 50-100g per day. Sources should include olive oil, the fats from the meat, nuts, egg yolks, oily fish, avocados, cheese and greek yoghurt.
Game
What is game?
Game is your ability to attract and get women in your bed - something that a lot of us here at TRP only used to dream about. Game is another skill that men should learn. Once you have worked on it for a while and started seeing some success in this area, you’re never going to look back.
How do you work on game?
I remember at 20 years of age, I hadn’t been laid in 18 months. I was smoking cigarettes, drinking, taking drugs, you name it.
I watched this video of this pick up artist do this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddjZf7Nqbo0
I couldn’t believe my eyes. This ugly sack of shit was chatting to girls in the street, doing whatever the hell he wanted, and the girls were LOVING it.
Do you know why they were loving it? Because it never happens…
So how do you approach a girl?
You see a girl. Before that voice in your head says any of the following:
- I’m not tall enough
- She looks bitchy
- She probably has a boyfriend
- She’s in a rush
- She’s texting
- I feel a little tired today
- I need to go to work
- I can’t pull my car over to approach!
- I need to…………
You approach.
You walk up to that girl and say any of the following:
“Hey, you looked cute and I really wanted to meet you” or “Hey, I made a deal with myself today. The first hot girl I saw, I was going to meet, and you’re the lucky girl”.
I’m telling you, it’s that simple to start a conversation with a girl.
Ask her some questions about herself. See what she’s doing in the area, see where she comes from. You’ve just made this girl's day. You are probably the cause for the most exciting thing that’s happened to her in MONTHS. Once the conversation has gone on for 3 minutes or so, tell her you have to get back to your friends and ASK FOR HER NUMBER. Always ask for the girl’s number. The worst she can say is no.
Men will look at you in admiration for doing something like this.
And guess what, girls will think you are from another planet.
And it works.
When saving her number, save it as something that you can remember from the conversation. “Hannah Espanyol Chemistry” or some shit. Make sure she sees this, and then text her later:
“Hey Hannah Espanyol Chemistry. Cool to meet you - yepbro”.
She will text you back.
“Great to meet you yepbro”
Now, the trick is here, don’t waste any fucking time doing back and forth texts. Text her this.
“Let’s meet for a drink this week. How’s Wednesday evening?”
You can’t create attraction through texts, neither can you touch her through texts. Texts are used for setting up dates and nothing else.
When you meet her for a drink, sit next to her, not opposite. Remember, it’s your job to escalate, go for the kiss, and take her home. You are the man, you are the leader.
So, you sit next to the girl. You can grab her hand, make jokes and whatever. Go for the kiss in the first 5-10 minutes. It really doesn’t matter if she rejects you the first time. The golden rule, is 2 steps forward, 1 step back. Try again in a few minutes. She can’t resist forever.
After kissing and flirting for a good period of time, and she sees turned on, the line i always use is an old PUA tactic - that’s “shock and awe”. I say things like: Jesus, I’m a man, and when you kiss my like that, I can’t help myself, I just want to throw you over my shoulder and take you home”. They love it, and it’s never once let me down.
Appearance
Let’s just go two steps back.
You’re lifting and on your strong lifts program. Your diet is on point and your cooking your meals. Your looking like a fucking God. You’ve managed to approach a few hot chips and got their numbers. One of them has agreed to go on a date with you.
Now it’s time to maximise your looks.
Let’s keep this guide as simple as possible.
You need:
- 1 x pair of dark jeans
- 1 x well fitting shirt
- 1 x blazer
- 1 x pair of Oxford Brogues
- 1 x belt
- 1 x watch
- 1 x Cologne
If you’re in the UK, check out TK Maxx for jackets, shirts and jeans and Clarks for footwear.
Most men don’t know how to throw together a decent outfit. It’s not hard. Buy expensive clothes at discounted stores. That’s been my tactic for years.
Don’t be afraid to go on a sun-bed three times a week for 6-9 minutes either. You will look miles better with a tan.
If you look good, you will do so much better. Girls will find you more attractive, people will treat you better, and you will feel ten times more confident.
Summary
What makes a man valuable to a woman is his perceived sexual market value. What makes a woman valuable to a man, is her appearance and her age. She will want to be seen with a guy cooler, or as cool as her. That means getting yourself a gym membership, start approaching girls, throw a decent outfit together and start socialising more. If you want to get the hottest girls, you are going to have to increase your SMV.
Impun1ty 8y ago
Don't talk to your friends about the red pill, make your actions seem effortless unless you're talking to your Dad maybe or someone who will always have your back even if you fall out.
If you tell a buddy about your methods then he'll lose respect for you and possibly stop trusting you, it's not his fault it's just subconscious/human nature. If you make your methods look effortless then you look 10x cooler.
Mensphysique12 8y ago
This is great advice all around. Whenever I go to the bar I always make an effort to approach at least 5 women, if I like the way she looks I will say hi. They will let you know if you have a boyfriend or they aren't interested...that is why they are at the bar looking good right? They WANT you to approach. Approach. Approach. Approach.

Great post. The only thing I disagree with is the tanning bed thing, if you need to be 'browner' go get a spray tan.
mrthrowaway413 8y ago
Texting is subjective in my opinion. If you're doing pick up in the context you described, you're 100% correct that you cannot create attraction through texts. But there's another side to that.
It depends on your age group. I'm 18 (Edit: whoops my bday was a few days ago) and unfortunately texting is absofuckinglutely everything. Group chats are everywhere. I'm in more than I can count. With Snapchat, who snaps who is important. It all now adds to your smv. Stupid shit like Instagram can raise or lower your smv. How many likes you get, followers, how mang people you snap, ect. It's like a new change in the dynamic of smv.
For me personally, I text often, but less than other guys. I do it more than TRP suggests, but less than every other guy my age. Group chats I'll answer periodically and be the guy in there that says something funny but then doesn't answer when people call me. It's manipulative but it works.
I post pictures on Instagram but instead of begging for likes like other guys do I just don't give a fuck. Girls see that as different my age.
I snap girls very often, but open the snaps and don't answer for a while. Some days I'll answer often. I'll put interesting stuff on my story while not answering girls. They wonder why I have the time to do that but not snap them back. They'll send me two snaps to see if they can get a response. Sometimes they just stop snapping because they think I don't care, but that's the catch because I don't actually care.
I do believe in certain situations and in the right context you can build attraction. But it is very very true that there are plenty of situations where you can't.
Yepbro 8y ago
This is a very solid post mrthrowaway413 - and I think a guide on this would be EXTREMELY valuable.
A lot of RP guys deem social media a waste of time, however, if you play the social media game right, you get pussy. Period. Write a guide!

I've been considering it but I've been putting it off. With your comment I'll be making one tonight, thanks for the encouragement.

When you talk about expensive clothing at discount stores do you mean thrift stores like a Value Village? Confused about that one.
[deleted] 8y ago
I think he's talking about second-hand stores, where you can find name-brands and nice clothing that's often barely used (especially if you find one in a good, wealthy neighborhood, where people are more like to just pitch clothing regardless of condition). Good way to selectively improve your wardrobe with minimal investment.
FromBPtoRP 8y ago

[deleted] 8y ago
I watched 5 minutes of that video, and if your daygame is anything like that guy's then you should never, under any circumstances, practice within a few miles of where you live, and you definitely shouldn't film it and put it on the internet. I'm all for practicing, and I'm all for failing, but Jesus that's some cringeworthy shit. He's effeminate, he qualifies himself to them from start to finish, he treats them like a prize for having done nothing, and he generally paints himself as the loser that he is, a slightly overweight guy with weird hair and an unsuccessful PUA youtube channel. He might have gotten numbers, but that is not girls "loving" you. Most of those were girls hoping he'd go away or enjoying the attention, but not looking at the encounter with any degree of seriousness. Notice how they don't engage the conversation more. They don't flirt with him or throw him any compliments, but they laugh and soak up his compliments. It's a lovely dose of validation for them, and that's it. It's the flirting version of the friendzone. That's daygame failing, and if he got their numbers it's only because they wanted him to go away. PUA operates on the principles that you can have nothing going for you and still get girls. It's idiotic. Instead, try having life on your side with success, looks, and social status. You won't need dumb tricks like that to get a girl's number on the street. You'll make eye-contact, know she's open to an approach, and then you'll decide if it's worth it. You won't need a dumb opener saying she's "so beautiful" because you'll have something of substance to say to her based on whatever made you decide it was worth it to go over. At that point, it's not PUA anymore. You're just living your life.
Also, this post is redundant. This is why we have the sidebar. It's also quite surface level stuff. Keep reading, then stop and live your life for a few months, and then read on again and you'll start to understand TRP as a philosophy rather than a boost to your SMV.
RPmatrix 8y ago
I respectfully disagree, /u/YoBro has succinctly and clearly covered issues, that whilst they maybe in the sidebar, have not been explained this way; the OP has provided a concise, more comprehensible and easily digested synopsis for the 'newer members' (as the OP suggests below) than much of the older, more esoteric RP information the sidebar is filled with (BUT is not necessarily as easily understandable to a young guy with little life experience to refer it to/with).
I guess I'm not alone thinking this and I'm very pleased to see the mods in their wisdom have chosen to 'sticky' it -- IMO it's like a resimplified RP 101
IMO TRP is a 'work in progress', and it's far from finished. We need to acknowledge this and accept the 'sidebar' information is not the 'be all and end all' of RP knowledge and can be improved upon, which I think the OP has done admirably with this post
I also think we need to begin a method of clarification re: the 'level' of RP information provided, i.e. there's a big difference between "learning about Game" and leaning how to implement it. i.e from Game level 101 to having a solid Frame and Great "Pro Game" which is Game level 1001.
Just as "get fit, get lifting and learn to eat well" is great advice BUT it's not something anyone learns overnight, and the new guys here can be overwhelmed by the plethora of information in the sidebar and without a more experienced 'mentor' to help them 'get it' (and how to cope with the guaranteed knockbacks and misunderstanding which will occur)
I have been mentoring a 17yo guy for about 8mths now and I KNOW had I not been there to help him comprehend what's meant by various RP ideologies as well as giving him support to "hang in here bro" when it doesn't seem to be 'working', he recently told me he probably would've given TRP away as he told me recently.
He's become a whole new man as the result of TRP and the 'clarification and support' I've given him re: things RP and Life in general.
This post by the OP will now be one of my 'go to posts' when guiding new guys here about RP basics -- IMO it should be the new 'RP 101' sidebar post
Thanks for the Great OP, OP! :D

RP-Doctor. I want you to think about this from a different perspective. Your points are valid, but you're clearly way more experienced than 19 year old yepbro was.
Imagine a 19 year old, who has had very little experience with women and has had a massive dry spell. Imagine him stumbling across that video and seeing that you can actually go up to a girl, talk to her and ask her for her number. Furthermore, it's a video. I can actually SEE someone doing it. Text can only go so far.
The content is irrelevant. Some of the newbies (this is a beginners guide) could watch that video, and it provide them with that small nudge of motivation to get them to approach.

I think RSDTyler would be better for them. He's a short balding ginger, but he has a great life and dresses very well. He also lifts, although he's far from jacked. Despite not having traditional qualities of attractiveness he works very hard through other avenues to achieve a high SMV. He's also in my opinion far less effeminate when dealing with women.

Honestly, once you go RP you won't want anything to do with PUA. It sounds cheesy and over-dramatic to put it this way, but you won't need it. Seriously, if you embrace RP fully, and not just the stuff that gets you laid (though ultimately it all gets you laid), you're going to be busy all the time. Just by living you'll amass more girls than you can actually juggle at once while also pursuing things that are meaningful to you. I've never read more than a few articles of PUA material in my life, yet in the past three weeks I've gotten 30 girls' numbers. Honestly, just for shits and giggles. I called 3. I fucked 2, and I've still got a steady plate who wants nothing but sex until either one of us goes exclusive with someone else. I've got more than enough sex, and now sex comes when I want, and no more. I'm not concerned with it. That's what you want. You want such a reliable supply of girls, that instead of shaping your life around sex, you focus your entire life around your passions, and sex is just another hobby that you partake in when you want.

By calibration I assume you mean smoothness and/or funny man game?
He basically proves that it's more important to get physical quickly than to be mr suave comedian. He picks up women mostly with just small talk, and physical escaltion. Screening game.
ColdEiric 8y ago
His game is not about calibration. GLL is a numbers game of not quitting. He doesn't stop trying.
Mystery calibrates, if that's your kind of thing.
[deleted] 8y ago
Personally, I think making pick up a numbers game is a foolish move. It's time consuming and exhausting. I don't want to spend my afternoons wandering around town approaching girls and getting rejected 75% of the time. I did much better making no specific effort to go out and find girls, and instead just learning how to spot interest from a girl. If you look good, you should spot a very interested girl in your league approximately once every 10 minutes while doing things like running errands. Learning to spot those cues and then learning to hold frame and simply be confident and approach the situation like a person (rather than a programmed machine thinking of a girl as a "set"), I get at least a 75% success rate.
[deleted] 8y ago
Good response: If you're of innately high value, you don't need to look for women, they'll demonstrate interest in you. Beautiful women go to the gym, the grocery, the park, etc., just like you do. What separates you from the pack is your obvious SMV, style, posture, and willingness to confidently approach regardless of the setting.

Hey man Im really confused by your comment. I read MM a very long time ago and see very little crossover to GLL. IIRC, MM is indirect approaching and utilises different tools such as social proof, group dynamics, and has a specific set of sequences. I am one of the original members of GLL and I only had 5 lays up to me joining GLL after 3 years of doing Pua stuff like Juggler, Sinn, Brad P but was overkill and did not get results for me. But now 2.5 years after GLL I have lays in the upper 30 range so its hard for me to say GLL is bad game when that is what has gotten me laid and a few of my IRL friends who are also in his community.
Where I don't see any crossover is that GLL is about building up your physical attraction with a lot of the back-end work (working out, style, tan, white teethe, cool vibe) and then screening girls who are Sexually available and DTF and quick escalating from there (what he calls aggressive guy game). He doesnt focus on turning cold chicks into numbers and stuff like that.
Its hard to call it game when his board consists of people getting tons of lays
[deleted] 8y ago
[deleted]
Physio_Tool 8y ago
Hey man I see what you are saying I feel like those kind of break downs are a way of backwards rationalising a success. He could have had the same chain reaction of events in the approach where hes backing up with her and saying different things but if it was a different girl she may have blown him out because he wasnt her type or she didnt like the way he was talking to her. But RSD never shows their blow outs where they think they have solid game.
Point is, whay they call calibration on their sets that they pull is just the numbers game anyway. But you're right that everyone is following a form of MM but theres no point in seeing it that way cause its mechanical and weird and does not account for the variables outside your control (She actually likes her bf, she just had sex yesterday and doesnt want it today, you aren't her type, shes not dtf, etc...)
BluntAsFk 8y ago
This guide misses most of the things that make a man valuable.
Better clothes? Going to the gym? Learning how to approach a girl? This isn't the seduction sub. You might as well have sent the beginners of TRP there. You make it sound like TRP is mainly about getting laid, and as such, you're making women your top priority. That's the #1 thing we SHOULDN'T have as our priority. Doing so destroys your value and attractiveness. It distracts you from attaining your goals. You're misleading everyone here. What about an education? A better career? Learning to stick to your habits, values and beliefs? Discipline? The only thing in this thread that's distinctly TRP is your summary. Everything else can be found in seddit.
The Pick-Up-Artist community is a community devoted to women. They have made women their top priority. Sure, you can learn how to get girls with PUA (I know I have). But you'll end up unhappy as fuck in the end when all you know how to do is manipulate them into believing you're alpha when you're really not. It's like slapping on a bandaid to a gunshot wound.
The difference between TRP and PUA is that TRP believes women just come along for the ride, while we attain our personal goals and reach our destination. PUA makes women the destination.
TRP isn't about getting girls. It's about self-improvement, learning the reality of society and how to use this knowledge to your advantage.
ColdEiric 8y ago
TRP is about ability to get girls. If you can't, you're less than trash.
If you're a nerd who can, but want someone worth marrying instead of a dim slut, then you wouldn't try to take a shit on this guide. If you're one of those nerds, you agree with this list.
[deleted] 8y ago

BluntAsFk 8y ago
Did you even READ the sidebar? If TRP was entirely about getting girls, that's a pretty shitty 'sexual strategy' since you're not increasing your SMV. This is why all those PUA techniques are bullshit. It's all superficial. Gym? Better clothes? Learn how to kino-escalate? Sure. But you're nowhere near the success of a guy who's worked on himself in terms of discipline, education and career. Not to mention that it's a pretty shitty way of going about life. I mean really? Your main goal is to get laid? Sounds like the dream of a 14 year old child.

Lol of course. That's mostly TRP.
He's beta as fk. We both agree on it. Why does his success take away from anything? TRP is full-on self-improvement. Musk just hasn't improved his love life. Elon Musk's SMV is still miles higher than yours, even if he's getting fked over by his wife, so I don't even understand what you're arguing.
Oh cool, I can also just read a small summary on the sidebar. How about the actual reading? Hah. Doubt it. Otherwise you wouldn't be arguing.

Good guide overall. 1 thing I take issue with: tanning beds. Tanning regularly has been shown to massively increase cancer risk, and also it causes your skin to age faster (in other words, it'll totally backfire once you're 40).
On the other hand, putting sunscreen on whenever you spend a lot of time in the sun will help preserve your looks. That's a much better idea. I'm fine being a little pasty now if it means I'll still look good when I'm 50.
[deleted] 8y ago
That said his point is 100% correct. As a White guy I know it. We just look damn better tanned. It enhances all the features. What it does is make you look healthy, like a guy who is outdoors and in the sun.
I dont tan for the health reasons, but I know white guys look better tanned.
Watch Arnold Schwarzeneger in his younger days tanned and when very young and untanned (training in Europe).
MrSnarf26 8y ago
Have you see women that spent their teens and early 20s in tanning beds? They look like old oil workers by the time they are 28.
NikoMyshkin 8y ago
This advice is perfect. There is no such thing as a healthy tan. Skin only ever tans as a direct causal consequence of solar-induced DNA mutation. If you are interested, the most common mutation is called thymidine photodimerisation.
Just make sure to supplement with vitamin D. Fat-based D3 is best. That way - you get the vital D without the hugely-ageing UV - the best of both worlds.

15mins?
At what time of day?
At what latitude and season?
How much body surface area exposed?
And most important, for what darkness of skin?
Stop believing the little mainstream pop articles about health, and go do some actual research. The info is out there. I mean shit there was another post about this exact topic here at TRP, literally this week.
u-r-silly 8y ago
It's also common to have vitamin D added in milk.

People believe exposure to UV rays will cause skin cancer, but it is only when the skin is burned from over-exposure to UV rays that causes increased risk of skin cancer. UV rays are incredibly important to the proper function of our bodies and most of the general population are deficient in it due to fear of sunburn and using sunscreens.

Indoor Tanning Is Not Safe
Indoor tanning exposes users to two types of UV rays, UVA and UVB, which damage the skin and can lead to cancer.
Indoor tanning is particularly dangerous for younger users; people who begin indoor tanning during adolescence or early adulthood have a higher risk of getting melanoma. This may be due to greater use of indoor tanning among those who begin tanning at earlier ages.
Every time you tan you increase your risk of getting skin cancer, including melanoma. Indoor tanning also—
Causes premature skin aging, like wrinkles and age spots.
Changes your skin texture.
Facts About Indoor Tanning:
Tanning indoors is not safer than tanning in the sun.
Indoor tanning and tanning outside are both dangerous.
A base tan is not a safe tan.
FACTS:
A tan is the body’s response to injury from UV rays. A base tan does little to protect you from future damage to your skin caused by UV exposure. In fact, people who indoor tan are more likely to report getting sunburned.
The best way to protect your skin from the sun is by using these tips for skin cancer prevention.
Indoor tanning is not a safe way to get vitamin D.
Although it is important to get enough vitamin D, the safest way to do so is through what you eat.
Tanning harms your skin, and the amount of UV exposure you need to get enough vitamin D is hard to measure because it is different for every person and also varies with the weather, latitude, altitude, and more.
Statistics
Studies have shown consistently that indoor tanning increases a person’s risk of getting skin cancer, including melanoma.
The meta-analysis shows a link between indoor tanning and melanoma.
A 2014 study by Wehner and colleagues estimated that more than 400,000 cases of skin cancer may be related to indoor tanning in the United States each year—causing 245,000 basal cell carcinomas, 168,000 squamous cell carcinomas, and 6,000 melanomas.
13% of all high school students.
20% of high school girls.
27% of girls in the 12th grade.
32% of those aged 18 to 21 years.
30% of those aged 22 to 25 years.
22% of those aged 26 to 29 years.
How much more "scientific Proof" do you need?
TheDialecticParadox 8y ago
Way to copy and paste.
The entire argument of this article can be refuted by simply interchanging 'indoor tanning' with sunlight. Yes indoor tanning increases risk for skin cancer but so does sunlight. Do people avoid the sun and hole up inside their whole lives? No. If they did they would die.
Nowhere in your source is there evidence that indoor tanning is more dangerous than tanning outside. Because it isn't.

Fake baking is absolutely a horrible idea. But for those who naturally bask in the sun, there's no proof that this will make you age faster, and certainly will not cause cancer, in fact its proven to fight away most cancers.

Vitamin D is proven to be one of the greatest contributors to fighting off cancer. Regardless of what type of cancer. Now, does that mean that hyper-radiation through a sun burn is good for you? NO. Thats not what is being stated. However, for anyone to contend that the sun is "cancer causing" is certainly not listening to the right science.
For God's sake, the sun and water are the foundation of life.
RPmatrix 8y ago
NO it has not!
Firstly, did I say anything about Vitamin D?
No.
We are discussing the pro's and con's of tanning, Not Vitamin D.
Next, I specifically mentioned skin cancer,, whereas you simply say "cancer", which is an extremely extensive condition propgated by many factors -- AFAIK Steve Jobs thought like you ... and we know what heppened to him! Where's your evidence to back such a generalized statement?
Actually, cannabinoids are showing greater promise as anti-carcinogenics Br J Clin Pharmacol. 2013 Feb;75(2):303-12. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2125.2012.04298.x.
Cannabidiol as potential anticancer drug.
Over the past years, several lines of evidence support an antitumourigenic effect of cannabinoids including Δ(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ(9)-THC), synthetic agonists, endocannabinoids and endocannabinoid transport or degradation inhibitors.

Lol dude. Everything you posted is in agreeance with my point of vitamin D being cancer fighting. Then you come out with MJ potentially being better. I'm in total agreeance that THC/CBD are great cancer fighting agents. But that doesn't have anything to do with my point. The point was being in the sun (tanning) is how we get a majority of our vitamin D. Then you went all crazy about how Vitamin D isn't as good as cannabis, which detracted from the whole point of the argument. The sun, is HEALTHY for you. Stop listening to bullshit pussy science that's trying to take nature out of man.

Are you special? Both of which you posted for marijuana and vitamin D said the same thing.
A quick Google search of "vitamin D cancer" (and this wording is being generous) shows endless results of evidence linking low-levels of Vitamin D to cancer in many forms, including skin cancer.
I'm not sure what more evidence you want. But beyond the "new-age science" we're arguing about, its pretty fucking obvious that through evolution the sun is NOT bad for us, and in fact is laughable to even consider. Especially considering that the two necessary items for LIFE are water, and sunlight.
At this point, if it hasnt soaked in... go lather your body up with some cancer causing sunscreen, and hide out in your room with your shades up. We'll see who gets skin cancer first.

Though I agree with your point in the debate, and totally disagree with the guy you're arguing against, it was ridiculous and retarded of you to post a bunch of studies about the efficacy of cannabinoids in fighting cancer, and then when he rightfully pointed out that that had nothing to do with the argument (the only point of his I agreed with) to call him retarded and be incredibly condescending to him for not understanding the scientific terminology in the abstracts from the studies. That's a really fucking stupid debating tactic and it just made you look like an asshole, which was totally unnecessary considering you were actually on the right side in the original debate. You need to be at least somewhat familiar with neuroscience and pharmacology to fully grasp the studies you linked to about cannabinoids, and considering they were totally unrelated to the original debate, it seems as if you really contrived to include some studies that you understood because it's an area of interest to you, despite their relevance to the original argument being very vague & tenuous at best, and then you berate him for not being familiar with the scientific terminology in them as if that makes him retarded. It just made you look like a real asshole - just because that dude was being a dick and you were right in the original argument doesn't mean you need to debase yourself and sink to his level, that just makes you just as much of a prick as he is.

I don't know why the hell this was down voted to hell. There was just a post on trp exactly about this. Most sunscreen causes cancer. Look it up, info all over the net. Studies prove this. Sad state of affairs I'm trp recently.
RPmatrix 8y ago
Don't take it personally, but you're being downvoted simply, becoz, you are wrong! What makes you an expert? Google? If so, "share the love" and pass the sauce would you please cuz. IF you can!
There are lots of things posted at TRP that are bullshit - usually the mods are onto them quick smart, but occaisionally crap gets through.
then provide us with them! You are engaging in what's known as a "logical fallacy" with your line of 'reasoning' known as "argumentum ad populum" aka "appealing to the masses"
Argumentum ad populum -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argumentum_ad_populum
In argumentation theory, an argumentum ad populum is a fallacious argument that concludes that a proposition is true because many or most people believe it i.e. "Look it up, info all over the net" ..er, so what? 65% of the web is porn, does that make "porn the norm", or put another way "eat shit, 50,000,000,000,000 insects can't be wrong"
The skillful use of logical fallacies is a powerful tool to sway the opinions of your listeners, and we can see them used daily by politicians, lawyers and businessmen to avoid answering the 'hard questions' BUT here at TRP we aren't averse to "debating the Hard questions" (see Shillary Cuntin's methods for continuous examples of the use of "rhetorical 'argumentum ad populum' and the multitude of logical fallacies" she spouts to the ignorant masses will frightening success)
Sadly, trying to 'point out' the fallacious parts of an argument can be extremely difficult, which is (how and) why they are regularly used by people such as lawyers and politicians to deflect opposition ... as do of course, our female cohorts and beta bretheren
That shit won't fly here once some of us see it, as I've taken the time to explain to you
Tighten up bro
Firstly, "just becoz" it's 'in writing' doesn't make it True
Secondly,
Bro, you've been here a month and you want to be considered a bastion of Knowledge? That ain't gonna happen, you earn your respect here
words are cheap, experience takes effort -- you made several comments going against the "mainstream RP knowledge base" which IME is extensive with numerous highly intelligent members making valid and well researched posts with links to sources, (esp if the information is controversial, as your's Is) so either back up what you say when talking (real, not anecdotal or 'bro' based) 'science'
Don't take this to heart bro, we're not out to brigade you, we're just VERY BIG on substantiation here at TRP, so raise your standards to ours, DO NOT expect us to lower ours to yours
Welcome to TRP mate (seriously) it's a lifetime treatment (and commintment), a large part of which requires your constant vigilance, esp against the Bullshit that is constantly being paraded as 'truth' in the MSM --- take it easy bro, "Rome wasn't built in a day!"

/u/crodudeclassic Massage therapist here - for posture optimization I advise to stretch the pecs and abs so as to create room for the upper back muscles to stand the torso straight more easily. And then I advise to 'tuck the lower tips of the shoulder blades into your (pants') back pockets'.
This way you do 3 things all at once -
Lower the shoulders
Slightly retract the shoulders

The compound lifts he describes will improve your posture immensely. Stretch everyday, and when you stand squeeze your shoulder blades slightly together. I've also found that not looking at the ground as much when I walk was something I had to kick to improve my posture.

Got it, I plan on continuing going to the gym and lifting, so that part shouldn't be a problem. However, I'm glad you mentioned the shoulder-blade pinching, I know I've heard that at some point but haven't given it any thought in quite awhile.

A trick I use is that your hands should hang directly to the side, with your thumbs pointing forwards. This will help you to keep your shoulders "back" properly and remove the hunched over, folded up appearance a lot of men have.
I was also told one time in the military to "puff my chest out" and "grow big." It's silly advice, but it also helps you to keep your posture in check.

When it comes to appearance just find your own style. Make sure you fit to some unique type. It's better to be the Jersey Shore douche with the Tan and the golden necklace than being some bland joe.
I always liked urban clothing styles with a very personal item mixed in between. Makes you look distinguishable. It also reflects who I am and where I come from (in town). To many chaps just mix and match popular brands they found on Instagram. Make sure your clothing has some direction.

I think a lot of the detractors of this article don't realize what the purpose of this post is - this post is meant for true beginners and TRP newbs. Basement dwelling losers and ultra blue pillers and the likes.
I like the post, I have said many times that so many questions on this sub can be answered with one word - "Lift".
One problem I had was this:
My philosophy is to never ask. Instead of saying "How's Wednesday Evening" you tell her when and where. By asking you are entering her frame. By stating, you have to have her enter your frame.
[deleted] 8y ago
"Meet me for a drink, Wednesday at 8:00." definitely has a much more masculine tone to it.
If she was going to say no to you no matter what, it doesn't matter how you frame it, but if she was on the fence something as small as this could make the decision for her.
Also, it's much easier to reject a "yes/no" proposition than a command-style statement like that. Making it easy for her to say no is counter-productive, obviously.

How do you handle yourself for the pickup turned relationship that's starting to show its ugly side?

This isn't a beginner's guide to The Red Pill. It's simple pickup. It's barely that, either. This is why real beginners are asked to read the sidebar - because you can't really condense TRP to a checklist of "things to do to guarantee success with women".

Anyone have any other similar videos as the one mentioned in the OP? The comments on that video degrade it by pointing out the fact that he puts the females on a pedestal. What's the alternative and how do you reserve yourself and keep her attention without putting her on a pedestal?
Alopex_RP 8y ago
Using the first approach as an example:
"He's putting them on a pedastal" That's a cliche response. The guy has to be direct in showing his interest as this is daygame. He has clearly gone out of his way to talk to this girl, which already shows a lot of interest. If he tried to "reserve himself" after showing such strong interest he would appear inauthentic. It wouldn't work.
Instead he negs the girl once he finds out she is a model. "That actually lowers you in my eyes a little bit". Most guys would probably compliment a girl on this.
Together the statements of direct interest and negs works as a push-pull PUA technique.

To me, men do increase in value when they are 30, but only if they don't fuck up their younger years. Also, I wouldn't recommend a tanning bed, if you want tan-ish skin then be more active outside during the summer. I do agree with the rest though and for fashion don't be afraid to get a pair of sunglasses.
I would also recommend looking up the relevant subreddits too like wickededge, malefashionadvice, etc. And read the fucking sidebar as well as books recommended by the red pill. No reason why you can't be educated while you undertake this journey.

Can anyone expand on the idea behind going for the kids within the first 10-15 mins of the date?
I thought it was all about calibration, going for it once you feel it's right.
But this idea makes me think when you go for it within 10 mins, your goal isn't getting a kiss, it's setting the tone. It's saying "I'm here to make things happen". So even if you get rejected, your still miles ahead than if you didn't try because there's no ambiguity now. She's knows you mean business and your not afraid to just try.
Am I right in thinking that? So within the first 10 minutes, on a high note after you've made her laugh or something, just go for it?

Other than that, I would simply talk to girls and develop friendships that have ended up in a few different ways:
-I add girl, we talk for a while, says I'm cute, says she misses me when I'm asleep, talking to me makes her feel safe, wants me to come visit her in Vegas. (Side note: she turned out to be batshit crazy and totally turned on me out of nowhere; thinking maybe she didn't want to fall in love)
Girl calls me cute on a public photo on a Facebook page, I add her, things go from there into my first real relationship
Girl is my friend at high school, flirts with everyone, then eventually starts only flirting with me. She's kind of a thot though, and soon after that I found my current girlfriend who was not only better in every way but also less likely to flirt with every guy she met.
Girl adds me, we talk for a while, become good friends, discuss sex one day and she tells me how submissive she is, she basically offers me nudes ("Pros of being with me are I'll do whatever you want and have free nudes" or something along those lines)

Bruh your forgetting not all RP'rs are blessed with good looks. This is a noobie guide. The reality of it is, is that we are aware of the reality of social dynamics and we want to adjust to it. If its for bettering ourselves, why not do it? TRP at times can have misogynistic people (which imo i don't think is a good thing) but its more of movement than an organized contest to see how many bitches we can fuck.

Lol dude you were blessed with good looks, excellent for you, problem is not everyone was that lucky. I certainly wasn’t, you don’t know how it feels to be invisible, give up completely on talking to girls because you know you don’t stand a chance in hell etc. I’m one year older than you are, I was a fat, depressed loser a little over a year ago, failing in school, literally nothing going for me. When I started reading TRP I did a 180 with my life, started working out and eating right, stopping all the instant-gratification I was feeding my brain and out of high-school(Swedish equivalent) with good grades and I’m planning on going to university this year to pursue a career as a computer engineer or psychologist. No problems with girls anymore and I can truthfully say I’m happy with the direction my life is going.
TRP is not all about pick up and increasing SMV, but it is a vital part of it, many people won’t be happy with being a virgin or settling for the leftover women that spent their prime riding the CC and now looking for a BB.

In all honesty, from what you posted it sounds like you are what a lot don't have the luxury to be and that's ATTRACTIVE. You have girls hitting YOU up, complimenting you, effectively opening you and it seems like your doing pretty well on the woman side of things. This is gonna sound cliché AF, but a lot of men don't have it as well as you in the hoe department.
Forget about looks for a second. A lot men have HORRIBLE game, subpar to decent hygiene and atrocious social skills and crippling insecurities/self-doubt. They are lacking in all these areas, and instead of being told they need to get their shit together to get their dick wet, they're told they're "beautiful just the way they are". That "any girl would be lucky to have you" or that they just have to wait for "the one".
The Red Pill, to me at least, is a community where men help each other be the best versions of themselves. A community where men can learn how to be self-confident, how to seduce women, how to navigate the business world, so on and so forth.
And too add onto all of that, fam you're 15. You're in a relationship and shit, some thots think you're sweet, that's cool. But don't try to pass it off like its given you some sort of wisdom. But regardless, all the best to you man. I'm 20 myself, so we both have (hopefully) some long lives ahead of us.

^^agreed. Bud you're still in HS and meeting girls online. You will learn one day when your relationship ends

Lol no I said she was 15 at the time. I'm turning 18 in July. The thing is, I actually am myself, and it works. That's why the whole "don't be yourself" thing is kind of funny to me.
As to TRP being a self-help guide, you can (and should only) take it as that, but it just isn't. It's basically demoralizing women and using that to buff your confidence. Having more confidence is great... But if you have confidence, why does the source material for this sub reddit focus heavily on pick-up tactics to get a few ONS's? The Red Pill claims to be undoing the brainwashing that the new millennium has had on young men, only to provide an equally brainwashing narrative.

The thing is, for some, their self frankly sucks. That's the point of self-improvement, improve and change until your self doesn't suck as much.
As for the rest of your post:
This sounds like quite the thesis. Not gonna lie, I'd love see a post/discussion based around this.

I am not even going to list them, but your comment is filled with red pill truths and you do not even realise it.
Frrrosty 8y ago
The truths you speak of are opinions. They may seem like truths, but truths don't have exceptions (or in this case unicorns).

You don't think it's healthy to have a community of people who have very similar opinions on important things? What about a church? What about a group of friends? What about personal finance subreddits? I stopped reading after that.

I don't have strong personal feelings on any of those issues. But I think they also provide great support for my argument bandwagon ideology being dangerous.
