I used to look back on all the horrible experiences I've had with women and wonder what it all meant, maybe hoping that it meant anything at all. I know today that it did mean something: growth. As you say, the pain indicates gain. If I hadn't been trampled by women time and again - despite, if you will permit me to say so myself, being handsome, kind, intelligent, hard-working, etc - then today I'd be just like one of my best friends since grade school.
He's tall, strong, very fit, good looking, intelligent, wealthy, high status job, and a Natural Alpha in many ways. He seems to have it all. But he hasn't seen, or refuses to see, what I have. He has no problem picking up women for obvious reasons, but he's lucky if he ever sees a 7+ beyond a ONS, and even the lower value girls he can never seem to hold on to for more than a month or two. He showers them with gifts, financial assistance, doing them all the "little favors," being the perfect model of the man "all women want," according to the tired rhetoric all of us here (I hope) have seen through. He's almost gone insane and I've talked him down from suicide more than once, because he can't figure out why none of this is working with even the fattest porker out there. I've tried to help him see, but you can't force this understanding and he's just not ready to wake up for some reason.
When we were still in high school, I envied his success with women. I used to ask him "How do you do it bro?" and he would reply with some tired platitudes they probably spout in PurplePill - just be yourself, have a bit of money and a bit of attitude, go home happy. I didn't have the natural alpha affinity he had so I could never get it to work for me. I would date abusive older women, when I could at all, but the lessons they gave me eventually made me stronger than him.
Now the shoe is on the other foot. I date the teenagers, and get rid of them when I feel like it, while he struggles to get 30-year-olds to see him a second time. It's all thanks to TRP. He's too proud to ask me for help, but he has noticed my success and it baffles him constantly. I think he assumes I'm just getting lucky, when luck has almost nothing to do with it. In fact it's precisely that pride which clouds his judgement. The assumption that he is not wrong, everyone else must be. And I can't say I blame him - to this day, despite a couple failed LTRs, he has never truly felt the sting of loneliness and despair due to his natural alpha tendencies. He couldn't tell me how to get women, because he didn't actually know. He never had to learn the hard way. He has never fallen far enough to realize just how close he is to the bottom. I did, and now there's nowhere to go but up.
TRP is going to make you angry. It's going to make you sad. It's going to ask you to accept information that makes you question every belief you've ever had. I'm here today to say that despite all this, I believe I actually act more ethically and soundly now than I did when I bought the Blue Pill. TRP is not the "easy way out," far from it. Truth doesn't take sides. It's up to the individual to choose what to do with the information we present here, and I hope they make the right choices. TRP knowledge is powerful.
When I first felt the true power I could unleash through physical health and domination of women and betas, I admit I got a bit carried away. If my actions hadn't been tempered by the wisdom of a life spent in contemplation and critical thought, I might have done some seriously messed up shit - and probably got away with it. Wielding such confidence and influence with ease, for the first time in my life, actually frightened me. Life is all about balance, however you choose to get there - my method is meditation. Once you harness the energy of real confidence with a steady hand, you can do anything you want. It's easy to see why people hate TRP, but the earth is round and it's not getting any flatter. Sink or swim.
Congrats on 100,000 subs!
