I’ve returned from being OCONUS for the past 2 weeks and my brain has gotten over the ‘fog’ that comes with gaining/losing 8 hours. For those who didn't know u/TrainingTheBrain is dead, forever -- I killed it in an effort to keep my message and ‘brand’ consistent.

I created a Q & A Page that I used to capture a few of my comments from TTB as was requested here. There was way too much so I picked a few of the ones I found worthy of repeating. I have commented a few times here and there when I had internet, I have been observing our forum and have been pretty impressed with the quality of posts and comments that have been trending.

I think that there is a direct connection between the quality of our sub and the honesty that is provided. Too often the main sub falls victim to the ‘group think’ logic whereas here we have disagreements all the time. This is a beautiful thing as it shows that we are all, even on the forum – walking our own path. I may recommend that OP actually talk to his wife where Whinemore may say to suck it the fuck up and Jackten may write 5,000 words about what came before and will come after said event.

Regardless of who is ‘right’ the point stands that men are providing advice they support. It is pathetic but it is rare for men to confront anyone on anything. Most are scared of being an ‘oppressor’; maybe MRP is the way it is because we are online, which is an issue I’m finding a way to deal with – but I’m hoping that this isn’t the case. I’m hoping the men here are embracing their masculine nature and the men who are providing shitty advice are taking their internet ass kicking and learning from it.

Something I observed while overseas is that masculinity knows no borders. You know what happens to a girl when you look her in the eyes and just smile in Germany, Bahrain, Qatar, Chicago, Canada, Italy, or dubai - They fucking smile back. You know what happens when you walk tall, speak confidently, and kino? They reciprocate – even if they don’t speak your fucking language.

I was gaming foreign women with the sole purpose of seeing if it worked. I would smile and use hand gestures, hold a chicks hand to draw a picture - whatever the fuck I wanted. Why did this work? Because I look strong yet approachable, these weren’t just stewardesses whose job was to be my friend. These were people I worked with, girls are restaurants, people selling shit on the street (not a good example, they are friendly to everyone), and most importantly other people at the airport who were traveling. I found myself sitting in some Gold Member lounges, drinking Chivas Regal talking to people about whatever. These are experiences that can be had by any man out there if he is willing to put in the work prior to this event.

You have to lift now, so you can reap the benefits later. You have to learn your game and kino now, so when you are on vacation you can drop the moves, you have to feel confident now so that when you are in sticky circumstances you can call on that irrational self-belief to pull yourself out of the situation.

Women know when they are in the presence of a masculine man and when they are in the presence of all other men. Be the masculine man, be the guy who is happy with life, owning each moment, and just fucking able to perform all the jobs required of masculine men.

It’s good to be back in the states, I will be transcribing all of the notes and posts I wrote in my journal to the site in the coming days.

Acta, Non Verba

Last one was only only 2700ish, no need to exaggerate :)

I read it twice, 5,400

Learn to count.

oh right... the self-response

[–]Griever1142 points3 points  (13 children) | Copy Link

Nice Q/A and post.

Question. I know the predominant thinking here is that kids should be involved in activities, particularly sports. My thinking is, keep getting them to do a sport and show them ALL of the sports till they find one they like.

What if they dont like any sports? They need a active social group that ALSO does acitivies that promotes a non-sedintary lifestyle.

Thoughts?

Also, the same applies for girls. Would you have the same recommendations?

Best thing that could happen to my two children was that daddy swallowes a red pill.

Now we spend afternoons outside playing with the dog. They help me keep the yard clean and they bring tools when needed.

Both. Boy and girl. I am helping my boy learn that a mans work is never done. I am teaching my girl that you can be feminine and work. When we come inside they both help with chores. Some afternoons they bike while daddy goes jogging.

As a red pill father it is your responsibility to help your kids become the best in all aspects. That includes getting them active.

I can't stand these fat lazy kids these days with the obediant parents.

FTFY

Start shifting your view from 'Red Pill' to masculine. Masculine fathers do all of these things. Red Pill/Alpha/Beta - these are all encompassed by a Masculine man.

You didn't find a magic red pill, you found your nutsack.

[–]Boesman12Unplugging1 point2 points  (5 children) | Copy Link

Definitely. But Alpha and red pill are the terms used here and are familier.? (My english suck, and its worse without spell check)

And most men that come here does so because their non masculine beta lifestyles brought them here. Just look at how many times xbox and video games are referenced.

I concede to your argument however. We as men in general need to become more masculine. Especially those of us that didn't get military training.

Your command of the English language is fine, I would never have known had you not said My english suck...at which point I agree, your English does suck - but as long as you own your shit and embrace your masculine nature, we'll look past it.

[–]Boesman12Unplugging2 points3 points  (3 children) | Copy Link

My english spelling suck....

To come back to the original post. Isn't your idea with going FamilyAlpha to help men embrace their masculinity on a less anonymes basis than MRP.

If I can ask, what are your plans to achieve that? Workshops or mancamps or groups?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (2 children) | Copy Link

mancamp - don't ever use that again lol

The plan as of this moment is to write a book, get it out there, then get the site to a point where I can provide one on one email/interaction, and eventually I want a private gym for men only in my local area which I will use for both lifting as well as other masculine activities: Writing, discussion, BBQ - stuff that brings men together as well as providing a place for a man to bring his boy to allow him to see that it is OK to be competitive, aggressive, and masculine.

[–]Boesman12Unplugging1 point2 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

Haha.

Freud would have me on the couch for that slip.

[–]Boesman12Unplugging1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

We are a group of friends that go on a rugby tour every year. We go hunting once a year, and we come together regularly to shoot the shit and just be guys. I havent brought up MRP but men know that I don't subscribe to the happy wife happy life mantra.

My thinking is that when you get a group and the gym going maybe you can somehow franchise the idea. Let men from all over get together and form cells that promote manliness.

I wonder how long the Femz will take to sabotage something like that like they did roosh.

All children need to have the opportunity for both social and physical development. Doesn't matter if it's organized or informal. Base it on what kids like to do or have an aptitude for. Sports, clubs, arts, volunteering etc... Ideas are endless. I will say I think athletic activities are especially helpful for girls during puberty.

Don't forget TEENAGERS especially NEED to be kept BUSIER than tweens and younger kids.

Anything it takes to limit the time they have available for smoking weed and fucking.

Part of parenting is exposing kids to things. That doesn’t mean only exposing them to things they like and it isn’t exposing them to things they agree to do. As a parent, you tell them what they’re going to do or give them choices between two sports to participate.
Within reason, get them involved in a sport in the same way that you’d ask them to do chores. It’s something they need to do that builds their life experience tool box. Yes, they have to keep going when they don’t like it. Yes YOU need to support them by attending practices or by working on the fundamentals with them or by making sure they’ve got the appropriate equipment.
Beyond "sports", you've definitely got the right idea about activities and active lifestyle. Sports and games are more important in my mind for girls and boys because they teach competitiveness and a desire to succeed that is rewarded by hard work. But in that respect the "sport" can be wall ball or tether ball or running or skateboarding or trampolining - something that they are excited to do that produces endorphins.

This is huge. I coach my son's flag football team and it is fucking disgusting how many parents do not give the slightest shit about what their kid is doing.

These kids don't practice at home, they don't come to practice or games with their mouthpieces, they are missing flags, etc.

It is pathetic that these people have time to get on social media and hit the bars yet they can't invest time in their offspring - frustrating as hell.

Have you gone off the 'mainstream' list of sports?

Camping, rock climbing, obstacle course style gyms - these all have crowds and organizations that bring kids & families together.

Also, writing groups, poetry circles, volunteering at the library. these are all options that can be used to get kids socializing.

My daughter is 3, she is in dance and is doing soccer this year. My son (6) is doing football and baseball. If they didn't like anything then I would have them lifting weights, running, and doing kettlebell with me to keep in shape and together we would find ways to socialize them in our community by seeing what programs were available.

Are you looking into the fitness aspect or the socialization side? If both, then the above applies.

I went to a programmer summer camp.

Not everyone has to play football. I joined TKD when I was a senior. Granted, I lived on a ranch, so physical exertion wasn't an issue.

Though we often had 'cityfolk' come down during birthing season, or when we'd take them up the mountain for the summer, to 'help out' was good for a laugh. Could try that too

TTB comments are still there. Yessssssss.

[–]MRPguyMarried0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Welcome back.

Welcome back...looking forward to some good content.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
