Red Pill ExampleDon't do this when talking to women (and how to fix it) (self.TheRedPill)

submitted by 1The_BitterTruth

There are plenty cardinal sins when interacting with sex-dispensers, such as being needy or seeking approval. However todays lecture will be addressing the main reason you're scaring pussy away and that's taking a subservient attitude with her.

Recently I saw two people waiting in line insist that that the other person go ahead of them repeatedly for about a minute. The exchange was terribly awkward because behind the veil of their superficial kindness was a battle for who was at the bottom of the barrel. "You may go in front of me because I am unimportant" was the implied argument repeated over and over again.

The real issue here is that if you're requesting permission to land your cock between an HB8+s legs you must do so from a position of superiority. Girls are hypergamic, which means if you put yourself below them they won't want to swallow your cum anymore.

If you're wondering if you fall into this category simply ask yourself the question, "Would I do anything to fuck this girl?" If the answer is yes, then you have already lost.

***

Putting yourself ABOVE a women means you understand your value as a man. Even if you aren't a 6'2 chad with a 7inch cock you should still present yourself as one.

Here are a few ways that you're probably fucking yourself up and how to fix them:

  1. Over-explaining shit

​

Hey maybe we could go to the movies it would be a really nice time and I think you'd enjoy it a lot

While this sounds sincere it also makes you sound like a long pussy.

Let's watch Aquaman Saturday

Hey look at that we got to the fucking point. If she's going to reject you no amount of explaining is going to prevent it. Explaining and over-talking is a method to avoid rejection (and just bitch behavior in general).

  1. Talking too much

    Hi Amanda I wanted to let you know that you just look so amazing today and you should know so I just had to tell you how amazing you look!

Many times guys will say the same thing 2-3 times. This is just hurting their own chances of landing in poon-town as they lower the value of their speech. It's also obnoxious as fuck to listen to. Try listening to a recording of yourself if you talk like this and you will understand immediately.

You look great

Less really is more. It show's your comfortable with silence and that you don't need her approval for what you say.

  1. Insisting

    Why don't we get a drink together? I know the perfect place you'll love it, They have live music, and the food is so good, and the drinks are cheap too!

While you were writing her a persuasive argumentative essay she made plans to fuck chad. Insisting is just a way to say you have no other option and can't take no for an answer. Don't use suggestions, be direct.

Let's grab a drink, first rounds on me

Sounds like she can depend on the second guy for a good time.

  1. Hinging off of her opinions when choosing a venue

    What do you think of dinner? What kind of food do you want? What are you in the mood for? Is Italian okay?

Again this is searching for approval, but most importantly it shows that you don't have the balls to make any decisions.

Let's grab dinner Friday, found a place with the perfect fillet

Doesn't search for approval, takes charge, makes a decision, keeps an air of mystery, it should be something you know she will enjoy and some place that you will have fun at. I've dated some girls with weird food tastes and they ALWAYS let me know somehow someway or they don't complain about it. Ask them about their weird fucked up preferences in advance not when you're asking her out as it will give her an extra thing to think about and say no. I.e. "Is there anything you're allergic to/can't eat" is all you need to say.

  1. Hinging off of her opinions in general.

    What do you think of my ....

Just stop. Don't ask her to formulate opinions of you. Asking her will ruin the illusion of things "Just happening naturally" and will come off as attention seeking and forcing the interaction. Her opinions of you will be determined based off of your actions, and she will show you her opinion of you with her pussy if she likes you.

Understand that the root cause of these behaviors need to be addressed and this is just a patch job to help you smash some holes this year. Happy hunting.

Edit: Formatting took a shit on me

TLDR: Be decisive and to the point, the more you talk, the more you’ll block.

[–]SeyiDALegend 22 points23 points  (5 children)

Mmmm how do you express your personality though? It's all good be mysterious when you're good looking but what if you're average looking? Where's the charisma?

[–][deleted]  (2 children)

[deleted]

    [–]SeyiDALegend 8 points9 points  (0 children)

    Ahh that makes sense. I'm never as self-deprecating as the above examples but I do talk some to get across my personality and get the conversation going.

    [–]pillkill 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    Good point. I tend to look for validation as well

    [–]OldPeopleLeather 9 points10 points  (1 child)

    I think the rule is only for requests/decisions. Talking a lot during your clown game I don't think is a bad thing, especially if you're a beginner like me. A low energy game is probably more effective when executed correctly, but a high energy game is much more forgiving. If I'm high energy rambling and speak on 30 different topics throughout the night, I feel I can afford to slip up once or twice since you'd still say ~95% the right things. If I say only 5 things throughout the night though and slip up once, only 80% of what I said would convey the right alpha presentation.

    [–]p3n1x 6 points7 points  (0 children)

    If she has agreed to the date, you are 80% there. Don't bullshit yourself with needing to "persuade" or "negotiate". Pay attention to body language and escalate quickly. After you escalate, follow through with action, not more of your need to be "charismatic". Are you trying to fuck her? Or fuck yourself?

    This post isn't about cold approach opening, it is about speech that is leading to the date without looking soft / beneath her.

    especially if you're a beginner like me.

    Insecurity is no excuse to do things 'wrong'.

    [–]lifeisweirdasfuck 3 points4 points  (1 child)

    Or "Always say less than necessary"

    [–]Field_Of_View 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Less than necessary would imply that there is information missing.

    [–]TheSelfGoverned 141 points142 points  (14 children)

    In other words, don't be a soy boy.

    A mistake I made over and over is peacocking, or trying to show you are cool/interesting/accomplished/worthy. This always backfires, no matter how legitimate or grand or confident or proud of it you are. In their eyes, it usually comes off as weak and insecure...or it can damage their ego, which doesn't win you any points either.

    If at all, do it only in person, and keep show and tell to 3 min or less.

    [–]pillkill 14 points15 points  (1 child)

    I read The Rational Male by Rollo and it was mentioned more than once that pea-cocking should be practiced if possible. It didn't quite work for me. You have an opinion along the same lines. Why and when should we peacock and not?

    [–]TheSelfGoverned 8 points9 points  (0 children)

    On the second or third date, maybe. And keep it short and vague. Don't talk about it after, don't expand on any details...Leave lots of room for mystery.

    Don't ever peacock via text or during the first date. It doesn't matter if its one tiny fun/creative thing you did 3 years ago, if its your life's work, something you created that is absolutely beautiful, the hobby that you spend all of your time on, if you are Elon fucking Musk himself, or if its a time-lapse video of you perfectly chiseling a life-sized marble statue by hand... she will think its desperate and disgusting.

    Women will want to fuck you LONG before they are mentally ready to actually get to know you as a person. In fact, that doesn't really matter AT ALL until maybe 30 days in. What does matter -what only matters- is your game.

    [–]Endorsed ContributorKeffirLime 28 points29 points  (2 children)

    Peacocking depends entirely on how you wear it.

    If it's look at me, I'm struggling to get noticed so I'm trying real hard, then it'll certainly backfire.

    If it forms part of who you are, and is genuinely interesting, and you own it, it only peaks her interest further.

    She'll start hamstering all sorts of stories and keenly want to know more.

    [–]TheSelfGoverned 4 points5 points  (1 child)

    That is building a sense of mystery by giving her little bread crumbs of info though... It is different than peacocking.

    [–]Endorsed ContributorKeffirLime 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    Peacocking in the manosphere is generally drawing attention to yourself, either with but not limited to a prop, or item of clothing to initiate conversation or draw interest.

    Mystery forms part of it because she's wondering what the hell it's all about.

    The success of it depends on how well you wear it. If it looks out of place on you and you don't own it, it'll flop. If you wear it with confidence and frame it feeds her fantasy/story.

    What you're talking about is qualifying yourself.

    [–]Eclipsespirit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

    Law 5: Always court attention but surround yourself with an air of mystery.

    [–]temerity18 7 points8 points  (1 child)

    Peacocking is wearing loud, flashy clothes. Trying to show you are cool/interesting/accomplished/worthy is boasting, showing off

    [–]TheSelfGoverned 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    Thanks for the clarification.

    [–]Truedemocracy4 7 points8 points  (1 child)

    You are supposed to show it. You arent supposed to say it.

    ​

    ​

    [–]p3n1x 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    trying to show you are cool/interesting/accomplished/worthy.

    If you actually are cool, peacocking doesn't backfire. The keyword you said is, "try". Nike that shit.

    [–]tchower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    This is a tough one. As a musician I like to talk about my musical accomplishments in College, at times this has served me well, while at other times, I over compensated because you walk a fine line between humility and self-deprecation. Too little confidence dries them up, while too much validating can look narcissistic.

    [–]DayGameChirality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    A mistake I made over and over is peacocking

    That depends on your style. I'm into hippie girls and it definitely works for me.

    Another thing is psychology of peacocking that isn't discussed here. Implied that you're at a party of mostly new people - whether a small party or a venue, it matters not. Say you're wearing a pink hat. What is the purpose of the pink hat? It's to be easily identifiable. You walk around the party, meet new people. Other people whom you haven't met yet will notice you more often because you stand out of the crowd. Instead of noticing you once like a normal grey pleb, they'll notice you 4-5 times, or if it's a venue (club, bar, etc.) or a subculture (underground electronic music, hippie communities, etc.) you go often to, they'll notice you every time you go there. This creates a subconscious impression of you being a "known guy", someone who goes there often, and most importantly, someone they know. People are friendlier towards you before they even meet you, because they know you. You're safe. They've seen you there before many times, even if it's a single party and it's been an hour since you came.

    [–]GoRedBad -1 points0 points  (0 children)

    I have found peacocking- wearing flamboyant or unusual styles - to work wonders. It can also be quite subtle, for example, wearing a bowtie and jacket has caused women to run up and kiss me as soon as I enter the bar.

    [–]blackjustin 186 points187 points  (41 children)

    This is something I had to learn recently.
    I'm normally very quiet and stoic, and I think that's that makes women interested in me. I began seeing one gal, and we wound up banging for a few weeks. She kept telling me things like "I want to see what happens in your brain one day, blah blah blah." (I tend to think abstractly). So one day I finally told her what was going on up there, and after that, the entire balance of power was thrown off. It started to feel like she wanted me to prove myself to her, not the other way around. Then, of course, every disagreement we'd ever had got brought up and thrown in my face. She wasn't really what I wanted anyway, so I just stopped talking to her. This has happened to be in LTR as well. I was with a girl for four years, and as soon as I expressed myself, she started acting like the dominant one of the two of us.

    Lesson learned: Just STFU. Which, honestly, is a bummer. But it is what it is. /shrug

    [–]Gmann14 73 points74 points  (5 children)

    You learned A valuable lesson,.. Keep em in the dark and feed em shit.

    Wamen are like children, their moral development stage ends at 3, men at 6. They don't think like we do, so stfu and tell her to make you a sammwich

    [–]blackjustin 44 points45 points  (3 children)

    I don't know. I still don't believe in "all women are like that", but the more I date... It's hard to ignore the fact that behavior, although sometimes different, falls within the same guidelines. I spent four years with a girl who almost certainly had borderline personality disorder (I don't put that accusation lightly, but I am a psychology major and she certainly fits every criteria of it), and now, after dating her - It's almost like women I encounter - they try to do the same things she did, but they aren't as good at it, if that makes sense..? There are definite parallells between women, even though there are a few deviations.

    Relationship starts off good
    The sex is awesome

    The woman pulls a foul (this could be something disrespectful towards you directly, or just something you don't like such as flirting with other men, etc)
    Verbalize your unhappiness/call her on bullshit

    Lie, or if you can't lie, manipulate

    Call her on the lie

    Manipulate harder or steamroll (a defense mechanism that people use; when called out, they roll over all your concerns and bring up random shit that has nothing to do with the problem at hand)

    on and on and on until you just stop fucking with her.

    Sometimes it seems like the best thing to do is just ignore her behavior, and when she pulls a solid foul, just move on.

    ​

    [–]FractalNerve 18 points19 points  (0 children)

    I don't say that lightly, because I strongly believe the weaker must be protected. But who is really weak, let's be real. I think force and power cannot exist without each other. Men need to use force AND power in survival, such as keeping a family alive. Yeah you become the asshole, but also the only real asset everyone silently agrees who has higher value and needs to be respected. Resent, foul-playing and blaming cannot be stopped by men with low SMV simply because this is a social situation that involves more than those two parties and your own SMV must be agreed to be higher by everyone involved. Period. Fight for that. Or gain unimaginable popularity.

    With all the SMV girls reciprocallly get in social media and society the average men are the most unimportant and easiest to replace resources. I work in AI and Automation in the industry.. I know how easily people are being replaced.

    If you are curious here's more about me for some background :

    I have a hard past and LIVED the experience spectrum in the trinity of absolute power, absolute loser and average Joe.

    I know how it is to be mobbed, hated, spit on, fought for attention with by total strangers even and also know how it is to be the undenied alpha whom everyone opens the door, shares their havings with, is given money and presents for seconds of attention and who wins any argument or fight without trying, but the most depressing life, one that fits too many heads more comfortablly than we'd wish it did, is the life of an average Joe. Invisible and frustrated Because SMV is very unstably shaking between good and bad, but never enough to open doors out of it.

    [–]Trenned_out 2 points3 points  (1 child)

    Yep. I think the real end goal for those who want LTR's should be a "mini" LTR. Do it until it goes bad and move on. Having 6month-few year relationships and when it sours know when to pull the plug and move on.

    Your get the best parts of the LTR and can appreciate that genuine connection for what it is, but know it won't last.

    Yea it sucks when it ends, but you know it's all part of the cycle. I know for me being entirely emotionally disconnected just banging girls isn't nearly as fufilling. But I also know the cold hard truth about the odds of it being good remaining with a woman for decades.

    [–]blackjustin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Yeah, I agree. Sometimes catch and release is fun.. sometimes, not so much. I don't know that a LTR is what my end goal is, but I'm also not actively avoiding a LTR, either. I'm on the fence about it. Sometimes it sounds great, the problem is, when it's bad, it's absolutely awful. I'm not even sure if being in a LTR is reasonable. I think it goes against the basic human condition. But, meh. Here nor there...

    [–]mahdif62 14 points15 points  (12 children)

    One thing I don't understand is this illusion/mystery thing. Girls know we like them or at least want to bang them. So what is the mystery here?

    [–]SteveStJohn 58 points59 points  (4 children)

    Her hamster is working hard filling in the gaps between who you are and who she wants. When the canvas is blank she paints it with what she wants. When you explain something you are most likely telling her something about yourself that is contrary with her fantasy. So keep quiet, and let her hamster work for you.

      Gosh the feels. I've been doing a better job at avoiding the last part though.

      [–]Mr-Kabuki 11 points12 points  (0 children)

      True. When a girl just starts assuming you’re fucking chad and that ‘you prolly get tons of girls’, don’t correct her. Just say “ yea well, you know”

      [–]FrankCostanza111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Where there is uncertainty, there is real estate being used in her brain. Absolutely certainty = no interest

      [–]Endorsed Contributorredpillcad 26 points27 points  (3 children)

      And we know girls shit daily but if you invited one back to your place and she hit the can and dropped a deuce with the bathroom door open you would be turned off by her lack of social awareness.

      Soy boys seeking mommy's approval and thirsty losers seeking sex are same damn thing

      [–]blackjustin 2 points3 points  (2 children)

      Okay, so the general consensus seems to be that saying too much kills the fantasy. But why does this reverse behavior? Why does it go from her proving herself to me proving myself? What is it about killing the fantasy that makes her feel as if she has some sort of authority over you?

      [–]Drivestoofast 10 points11 points  (1 child)

      Think of it in the direct sense of mating.

      Are you a silver back gorilla who commands respect? Just grabbing your mate and saying "this, now."

      Or are you a tiny male spider? Carefully navigating his way to her, requesting the opportunity to mate.

      [–]2awalt_cupcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      blackjustin has a point, why does one different interaction make her entire behavior towards you change for the worse? I've experienced something similar. It's like they "think" they got you all figured out now and that they've "won" some game you weren't even playing with her and they march away triumphantly.

      Let me put it this way. If you finally told me something concrete, it doesn't have to be huge or personal, I would never start acting like you were a push over.

      "Drivestoofast, how do you like to make your eggs?"
      You: [explains how you make eggs and why you like them that way
      "Ha! Fucking pushover"

      It's entirely nonsensical but women do it enough that something ought to be going up in their brains.

      [–]yumyumgivemesome 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      Her insecurities/uncertainties are a powerful drug. We really do not want to bang all of them all of the time. When my options are wide open, there are several instances that I've declined easy sex. In one case, it made the plate crazy, even though she already knew I didn't want anything serious with her. She was basically begging for sex or even just to come over and blow me. It actually turned me off even more.

      [–]RonieGarret 13 points14 points  (17 children)

      Oh, cmon what is wrong with expressing yourself?

      Just dont tolerate bitchy behavior. You discovered her true face(and vice versa).

      [–]blackjustin 23 points24 points  (1 child)

      By no means am I a Red Pill guru. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will chime in to give you an appropriate answer.

      As an academic, I very much value hearing people's thoughts and emotions. When I tell someone, "Tell me everything", I mean everything. Spare no detail. I want it all. That's how you legitimately get to know people. There's some women who are like this as well. But in my experience, regardless of the relationship, most women aren't interested. I'm literally texting with a chick right now - She texted me some video (not a dirty one, standard youtube randomness), and I replied and tried to start a conversation, and she just ignored what I had to say and kept talking about what she's talking about. She doesn't want to talk, she wants me to listen. So now I'm reading her text but not really responding, and on and on she goes.

      If I had to guess the answer to your question, I'd guess that this goes back to the biological imperative of finding an appropriate mate. I don't think this is something you can look at with a modern perspective, I think you have to look at the foundation of mankind; think about before humans even had language. If you can't speak, you can't connect with one another emotionally or intellectually , so what was the judging criteria? Being the biggest, baddest, strongest dude of all the men, and being whiny is the exact opposite of being powerful. It's not something you can take personally. It's just the way it is. Men naturally want to have sex with a ton of women, and women naturally want a strong provider. It's the human condition at it's most primal level.

      [–]FractalNerve 10 points11 points  (0 children)

      You provide too much free meal. Free attention. Stop that. Now.

      [–]Endorsed ContributorKeffirLime 9 points10 points  (0 children)

      Depends what results you want and whether you want attraction or honesty.

      Expressing yourself emotionally will only have her view you as weaker, less capable and make her feel more insecure in your leadership.

      Expressing yourself like I think OP is talking about, is killing the fantasy. She perhaps had him as this interesting, mysterious, brooding thinker and then he probably explained it in way that made it common and uninteresting anymore.

      [–]askmrcia 7 points8 points  (0 children)

      Oh, cmon what is wrong with expressing yourself?

      Just express yourself to a certain degree. You're a man at the end of the day. She views you as a man. The last thing you want to be is act like one of her girlfriends who complains about something that happened to them at work or their family. You can tell women about yourself, but at the same time don't over do it. You're the leader.

      Look at it this way. Your qb (you the man) is the leader of the team. Once you start acting like an emotional basket case wanting to rant or express how you feel about something that has happened to you then that can negatively affect the team. No team wants to be around their leader who is crying about throwing 3ints or the coach calling the wrong plays. It's OK you bring that stuff up, but you don't want to be that dude who's always negative or venting about something.

      On the other hand if you the qb see a teammate (your girl) acting up then you the leader needs to address it.

      Maybe this helps better explain.

      Also girls can be different. Some may actually be more tolerant then others and won't think of you as weak when you show certain emotions (again just don't overdue it) . The same way your teammate on the football team will have your back if they see that you're going through some shit.

      In general though women are women and men are men.

      Just dont tolerate bitchy behavior. You discovered her true face(and vice versa).

      Agree

      [–]ILoveJuices 3 points4 points  (12 children)

      The dude was probably a neurotic mess. Women want to hear about the complex thoughts, not the emotional bullshit

      [–]blackjustin 1 point2 points  (11 children)

      Could you say more about that? (legit asking. This is probably a learning experience)

      I wasn't super emotional about anything - I rarely am. I was explaining a complex thought, not whining, and the gal i'm referring to was def not interested.

      [–]ILoveJuices 17 points18 points  (6 children)

      When I explain to women that we’re made of stardust, or the infinite multiverse, or Buddha’s ideas of reincarnation and liberation I have never had a problem. They understand that I know more than them and love the feeling of a man knowing more.

      But when I talk about how sad or worried or afraid I am, they are repulsed by the weakness. In your case if indeed you were talking about complex thought then it’s hard to imagine that was the cause of her disgust. Unless of course she’s just a trailer trash or druggie with serious inferiority complex.

      [–]blackjustin 0 points1 point  (5 children)

      Thanks for your response. Tbh, you guys are being super helpful but I'm way overloaded with information. There's a lot of things here to chew on and digest. In the meantime, I'll give a little more information about this specific circumstance and myself. (I'm not trying to sound like a jerk, but this is legitimately where I think the problem lies)

      So, I'm in academia. Non traditional student, both age and race-wise. I also have more than one learning disorder (ADHD, memory/spatial, math), and this has really unbalanced my knowledge level. What I mean is, the things I'm good at, I'm really good at, and the things I'm bad at, I'm really bad at. There's no comparison in the level of performance (I get A's, or I fail. No in-between). For me, I really excel in social sciences (specifically philosophy, psychology, other things that involve theories). Everything else is a bust. I'm calm and stoic most of the time, but if you get me going on one of my "things", I can go; if you ask me a question, I'll answer, and if you ask me a follow up question, I'll answer that as well if I can. Due to the ADHD, sometimes I find myself going from A, straight to Z, and then back to A, and I kind of wrap it all up in a neat package. (The ADHD is a very recent diagnoses. My doctor and I are still trying to find the right medication for it, but it's been a bit of a struggle). I think that can be really overwhelming for some people. I've been talking to a female friend (a legit friend, not someone I'm trying to sleep with) about a lot of psychology related things, and she told me my knowledge level was intimidating. I'm sure it' can be off-putting to some. I'm not a dick about it, I just answer questions as they're presented. I do have a problem making real connections with women. I'm not socially awkward, and I'm not bad looking. I do reasonably well with women, but when/if it gets beyond sex, it gets fucky. The real answer to my problem is likely to STFU, but in an academic setting, it's a little difficult when discussing class-related stuff.

      She wasn't disgusted, but the conversations certainly changed. It went from her being open and honest to very short, one word answers, and the clear lies and manipulation began. I got tired of trying to decipher what she was saying, so I just moved on. She wasn't a hoodrat, but her family was full of hoodrats, so I think what she expected vs. what she got were very different things. She had several relationships with very physically abusive men and long term criminals, and I'm just not that at all.
      (Edit: When I was writing this I began reflecting and realize I probably go a little too hard with answering questions. But I'm not sure how to balance it out)

      [–]Chaddeus_Rex 2 points3 points  (3 children)

      So, I'm in academia.

      That's your problem. Stop thinking like an androgenous academic and start thinking like a man.

      Go out and skydive. Go do some winter camping. Go hunting. Go to the slums. Go get your face punched in, in the ring. You will learn much faster and be more worldly and less neurotic.

      Have you read 'The Sea Wolf' by Jack London? Be like Wolf Larsen not the pussy ass academic.

      I literally LOLed at "angrogenous academic". True story. I actually used to be quite competitive in the local MMA and BJJ circuits. Injuries forced me to give it up, which is how I got into academia. It's not that I'm not masculine. I've dated several young ladies where you could kinda do what you wanted with them... but at the same time, we're in a different era now, and it's not always... safe.. yeah, that's the word we'll use. It's not always safe to behave in such a manner. Sometimes you don't know what type of woman you're interacting with until you know.

      [–]Chaddeus_Rex 1 point2 points  (1 child)

      It's not always safe to behave in such a manner.

      It's not safe unless you position yourself as a dude that does these things. If it is known you do things like this you filter out girls that don't like it.

      also from my experience guys in the bjj gyms I've been at haven't been the most masculine. in contrast, in my city the boxing gyms have excons, bikers, inner city types and just generally masculine dudes. its healthy for ones soul to socialize with these guys.

      [–]blackjustin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      So I entirely agree with what you're saying. I think there's a lot of validity there; word travels, and that word will separate the women who do and do not. That said, I'm real close to graduating and I think I'm going to err on the side of caution with this one. Personal success over women.
      Also, you're right about BJJ/MMA gyms. The culture has certainly changed over time. I got lucky and got in on the ground level of MMA in my state. There were only a few gyms in the area, and they were all very old school. Some were full on meathead gyms like you said, some weren't. I certainly took a liking to the more savage of the gyms.

      It's weird listening to new practitioners talking about their theory of self defense. "If I were in a street fight, I'd just hold an armbar until the guy tapped". To me, that's weak. The rules go out the door when punches get thrown. When punches get thrown, I can tell you the with complete honesty the first thing I grab is coming home with me, and I don't care if it's an arm or an ACL. People are weird....

      You killed her fantasy. Woman have a tendency to fill in the blanks with fantasy and wonder.

      She probably had your thinking down as complex, interesting, meaningful thought.

      Upon explaining it as nothing special, with it goes her fantasy.

      It's now just plain old boring reality. A woman's desire/attraction generally lasts as long as the fantasy does.

      [–]blackjustin 1 point2 points  (2 children)

      Huh. Interesting. And it makes sense in a way - I gave it to her a few times and she went from LTR and children to clearly turned off. Weird concept.

      I see you have a "endorsed contributor" next to your name. Does that mean you're a pretty solid RP authority? If so, I'd like to shoot you a PM and ask a question.

      [–]Endorsed ContributorKeffirLime 5 points6 points  (1 child)

      It's probably part of it, there's alot of factors at play in a LTR dynamic, most have to be on point to maintain attraction.

      Yeah, rules and glossary on the side bar explains it further, read the entire side bar if you haven't already.

      As for PM, fire away.

      [–]blackjustin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

      I'm gonna take a little time to re-read the sidebar. If my question still isn't answered, I'll PM you. Thanks man~

      [–]albino_red_head 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      I was with a girl for four years, and as soon as I expressed myself, she started acting like the dominant one of the two of us.

      What about when setting boundaries. I don't come across too many cases where I set a boundary and there's zero explanation. That explanation requires some expression of where the boundary comes from. Not hugely problematic but looking to get your thoughts as I can experience anxiety depending the topic.

      [–]FractalNerve 1 point2 points  (1 child)

      Exactly my thought. I talk a lot, but never talk about what is going in me ever with women. The first time I did I lost her in 2 weeks. 2nd time in 4 weeks. Hey, it really sucks that you cannot share your inner thoughts with anyone anymore unless you are OK with losing any value you have in their eyes.

      No strategy?

      This! This is so weird, i feel comfortable talking a lot and explaining stuff. At some point I thought "Maybe I'm a gifted lector!" But now i realise its beta as fuck. How does one stop this verbal diarrhea?

      Say what’s essential and don’t explain it

      That should be bold! Hung on your ceiling and be the first thing you see when you wake up

      [–]yumyumgivemesome 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      Reading these helpful posts on TRP is a good start. You and I have both seen the advantages to shutting the fuck up and leading, and we've seen the consequences to over-verbalizing our thoughts and decisions.

      This particular post is timely for me because now I realize my texts with a girl last night were very clearly over-analyzing the date we have set up for tonight. I almost totally fucked things up. Even though I would very much like to ask her questions about how much time she needs to get ready after work, whether she wants to grab drinks near her place or near mine, what time her curfew is due to her 8am work tomorrow morning, etc. ... now I have been reminded that I need to make the best guess of what those answers would be that will place me in the best position to fuck her tonight, and then tell her where to meet me.

      It means we do way more work in our heads with the planning and simply feed them what they need to know and nothing more. Every step of the way becomes a surprise and an adventure for them. To the extent they trust us, they absolutely love being taken along for the ride.

      [–]Chaddeus_Rex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      When you have the urge to explain something. Just smile (preferable mischeviously) instead. Problem solved.

      Posts like this is why I still stay subscribed to TRP. I feel like there have been an abundance of shit posts and disguised ego stroking on here especially since the quarantine. Thanks OP, saved.

      [–]yumyumgivemesome 2 points3 points  (1 child)

      I completely agree. This particular post just saved me from screwing up a date tonight that I was already starting to verbally over-analyze with the girl. Now I know I need to do the mental legwork myself and then simply tell her the time and place.

      Men are leaders. The best leaders get straight to the point and get shit done. Don't pussyfoot around just be straightforward and "alpha" as fuck

      [–]SlimShauny 18 points19 points  (0 children)

      Somewhere in the middle of mysterious/stoic and energized/entertaining is where you need to put yourself. I've always found this to be my biggest struggle when I'm first getting to know a girl; first impressions are everything. It's tough personifying cool, calm, and collectedness without seeming boring

      [–]RPSilverfox 59 points60 points  (0 children)

      Sometime before Christmas I went to grab a couple of things at the grocery store and got to the register the same time as an attractive blonde. She said that since I only had 2 things I should go ahead. I said thanks and went first. When I took a glance back she was giving me a smirk, obviously impressed that I didn’t do what 90% of men would have - insisted she go first. A simple example but definitely the mindset we need to adopt and build on.

      [–]Thunderbird93 15 points16 points  (0 children)

      It boils down to domination. Females are hardwired to submit. As long as you express and display a dominant frame she will fall into yours and probably fuck you

      [–]Andgelyo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

      Direct masculine language is key. It’s how confident leaders talk. The unsure beta stutters and makes long conversations. The masculine confident man almost commands his conversations.

      “Let’s grab some hot chocolate some time.”

      Vs.

      “I was wondering, if you don’t mind, would you be free this Saturday? Maybe we can grab some hot chocolate if you don’t mind?”

      Direct language is the language of men.

      [–]jonpe87 12 points13 points  (0 children)

      It helps to develop mental tricks to put you in that mental aloof state of zero fucks overlord

      One that helps a lot: imagine that girl super fat, look to her belly and imagine how it would be like with more 50lbs, you have to do it at the very moment that you see the girl, it tricks your brain cause it doenst know what is reality and what is not, you can sense the disgust feeling and the respulsiveness of the probablity of any physical contact.

      ​

      so when you go for the kino, gets back and say, you are more fat than I thought

      [–]UrgotMilk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

      Damn this really hits close to home. I have struggled with this for so long and even just now I went back and realized I just included the "If you don't like it we can go somewhere else" line when making plans for this weekend.

      I've always preferred to get everyone's opinions and thoughts before making a decision, and I've always been a very flexible person so I usually want to make sure people know that I'm open to anything. But man, when it comes to dating it hurts me so much (although I really should stop doing it in normal life too). Really hard to break the habit.

      [–]Fulp_Piction 4 points5 points  (0 children)

      Just stop giving a fuck, it's not hard. I know everyone loves new content here and any attempt at it is fair enough, but thats all there is to this. Be the uncaring asshole.

      Hey maybe we could go to the movies it would be a really nice time and I think you'd enjoy it a lot

      ​

      Saying things like this is not just overexplaining for no reason, it is basically trying to present the idea in a way that makes it seem more attractive, and you deciding to do this with a girl will show that you think she needs some sort of compensation for coming to the movies, that just going there enjoying your company is not enough, basically communicating lack of confidence and putting her above you (since you are the one fighting for the date to happen).

      ​

      That is why short direct communicating is so powerful, it shows you know your worth

      [–]opper-hombre1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Loved the movie example. The long response kinda sounds desperate and you REALLY want her to go to the movies with you.

      Short response shows a much more IDGAF attitude. I don’t give a fuck whether or not you say yes because I got other options!

      [–]liquorbaron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      "Hinging off of her opinions when choosing a venue

      What do you think of dinner? What kind of food do you want? What are you in the mood for? Is Italian okay?

      Again this is searching for approval, but most importantly it shows that you don't have the balls to make any decisions."

      Or more like I don't care enough to be bothered to put in effort to remember every fucking place in the area that serves food in some capacity. I would usually wait for the girl to list off places and just shoot each one down until there was one I wanted to go to.

      [–]Bilskee1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Great post OP. Something I had to learn long ago. Use less words to actually say more. Silence makes the hamster run fast.

      Thank you for this bro. I tend to do alot of the above and never even knew I was doing anything wrong. Noted.

      Shit... This really stuck to me.
      I've always been a master to continue a conversation, but it's because I do all the things above and it has landed me in Friendzone a COUPLE of times.
      Sure I've still fucked some because of it.

      I've noticed that girls like it in the beginning first/the second week, it really hooks them because they feel that you're master of social life but after two weeks/first sex they get tired of it and it's kinda needy.

      What do you think? (haha, nr. 5)

      [–]INNASKILLZ2K18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      All about IDGAF. Why waste your time overtalking to someone, who has proven absolutely no value to you? Get the fuck outta here, with that attitude.

      IDGAF and abundance. With those in your frame, less talking will be organic.

      Yes and no.

      One of them may have busy at moment, needed a bit of time for themselves. If not, then yeah.

      [–]omega_dawg93 0 points1 point  (2 children)

      TL;DR... make yourself your mental point of origin, i.e., "i am the prize."

      note: it doesn't work if YOU don't firmly believe it yourself. and don't ask women questions; make decisive statements and act on them.

      [–]1The_BitterTruth[S] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

      This isn’t what this post is about

      [–]omega_dawg93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      right before #1 by OP... "putting yourself above a woman..."

      imo, if you adopt that mindset, AND BELIEVE IT, the rest falls in place.

      [–]santino314 0 points1 point  (2 children)

      Not trying to contradict you, I'm just trying to reconcile your tips with some stuff I've read in the past.

      In Dale Carnegie's How to make friends, he talks about framing everything proposition in terms of the benefit to the other party. In your first example, the first phrase mentions "I think you'll like it", which I think is closer to what Carnegie is saying.

      Second, I am all for being succinct, even laconic. Hell I used to be like that. However, in some social skills books, they always mention how you should give "long" answers, so that people have something to bounce off in conversation.

      Is there something I am missing? How do you pull off being pithy without being curt?

      [–]3nebder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

      Dale carnegie is useful for general social skills. Realize it’s BP oriented. Doesn’t mean you cannot apply what is useful.

      Making friends and picking up gals are two separate skill sets. They overlap some but they are polar opposites in other aspects. In a non-sexual setting, building consensus can be an effective strategy. In a sexual situation you’re not going to convince a girl with words to bang you that wasn’t already into you. No desire is negotiated.

      See the difference?

      [–]wobbleelbbow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      "I think you will like it" is not giving the party any knowledge of the benefit. It just comes off as needy for the most part.

      So don't ask her opinions on anything. Treat her as subhuman. Got it. I dunno when I go out I like to be loud and drink and sing karaoke.

      I like to the loudest most obnoxious mother fucker in the room. I like to ask people's opinions but I usually don't care what they say

      Of course it's been a struggle getting laid lately....
