How does a man get what he wants?

TRP started out as a place to figure out the answer, for those cases when “what he wants” = “pussy”. But even that specialized case implies the general question. And over the years, three schools of thought have taken shape, and spawned three types of written advice.

The first school is that of the muscle man, who writes in the key of

“If you want something enough, you will work night and day to get it. All improvement lies outside your comfort zone, so seek out pain rather than avoiding it. You must hone your willpower to a razor sharp weapon that you can wield against adversity and conquer the universe thereby. Now go lift something heavy.”

The second school is that of the intellectual, who will tell you

“If you aren’t reading Marcus Aurelius cover to cover, you are wasting your life. The mind is the instrument whereby humanity conquered its birth planet, and you must educate yourself in how to think, understand the human condition, grapple with the problem of meaning, and become the Superior Man (whether in the Confucian sense or the Nietzschean) in order to meet the many challenges of the world.”

Lastly, there is the student. He’s typically not going to tell you how to live your life, and confines himself to writing articles like “The Freeze-Out: How to Overcome LMR”, and “The Basics of Investing for Long-Term Growth”.

But this kind of approach to life does imply something, and what it implies is this:

Specialized preparedness and knowledge beats effort and intelligence every time.

The best seducers of women are those who know specifically how to seduce women. The best earners of wealth are those who know how to invest and spot market opportunities. The best fighters are those who know how to fight, the best painters those who know how to paint, the best writers those who have learned and practiced the skill of writing.

That metaphorical “Red Pill” we gave you wasn’t full of testosterone and determination, or with philosophy, either. It was full of everything we ever learned about women through trial and error.

Discipline and willpower help you to get off your ass and learn. Intellect helps you to make sense of what you see, and turn observation into understanding. But nothing replaces specialized knowledge of the task you wish to succeed at.

And it is through the ability to gather specialized knowledge that humanity has ascended to a level of power that would make us appear godlike to our equally tough and intelligent, but less informed, ancestors.

The vast majority of your failures did not and will not come because you aren’t strong enough, or smart enough, or blessed with some other critically necessary capacity, but because there was some key piece of information you didn't know.

You didn’t get rejected at the last moment by that girl whose bed you were already in because your abs weren’t defined enough, or your jaw not square enough, or your banter not clever enough, it was because you didn’t know that the solution to last minute resistance is to withdraw, not to press harder.

What this all means is that becoming stronger, and smarter, and tougher, and wiser, and cooler-headed, is all good and worthwhile, but if you truly want to be successful in life, then for each new thing you wish to succeed at, you must take the Red Pill. And what did I just say the Red Pill is full of?

It’s full of knowledge.

You have to educate yourself about what you want to do. Then you have to practice it. Then you have to train at it (practice under stress). And this process starts all over again for every new thing you want to learn.

I am not trying to discourage you from lifting and practicing courage and self-discipline. These things will help you. And if you like philosophy, by all means read it. It won’t hurt you any.

But if you are stuck, indeed WHEN you are stuck, because at some time you will be, remember that it’s probably NOT because you “aren’t good enough”, but because there is something critical that you don’t know.

Remember that a door is a wall to anyone who’s never learned about doorknobs.

@GayLubeOil has given us some very thought-provoking suggestions on leveraging the June 2020 riots to get laid. https://old.reddit.com/r/TheRedPill/comments/gvuzn...

Read them, they're good.

However, that's not where the rabbit hole ends. The larger takeaway here is that the more the game changes, the more it stays the same. Local variations in the political, economic, or cultural terrain simply shape the expression of women's basic female nature. If you understand that nature, you can learn how to leverage whatever is going on at any given moment.

So how do you do this?

First, understand that the way to achieve your goals is to hitch them to a basic human instinct, and let it run. Just as most empires have arisen to dominate the globe by inserting financial action or military service between young men and the fulfillment of their sex drive, so can you get laid by inserting your penis between young women and the fulfillment of their desire to receive attention, and be involved in drama.

As GLO points out, this is the sole reason women are involved in these events at all.

The riots of today are not motivated by any sort of actionable plan for social change, but rather by an unfocused and inarticulate rage at circumstances largely beyond young men's control, with a second, and larger, wave of looting fueled by envy of consumer goods which function largely as status cues rather than serving any material want. Young men want status, power, and respectful treatment, and both the initial politically-oriented rioting and the subsequent less-political looting are both driven by their hurt feelings at not receiving it, both personally and as a group.

But women's involvement in these events is quite different, occurring less on the streets, and more on facebook and twitter. Women are generally incapable of being outraged by anything that isn't personally happening to them... but they are quite capable of feigning outrage if it will draw attention and drama to them.

Recall that the appearance of victimhood is actually a position of power for women, because it leverages the male protective instinct to get resources, both tangible and intangible, flowing their way. It is therefore not surprising that women are in habit of responding to any mild inconvenience or annoyance by throwing themselves on the ground and writhing in feigned agony like a soccer player trying to draw the penalty. The only reason men do not exhibit this tendency is that there is no protective instinct towards men, and no one gives a shit about their pain.

This is why women try to make themselves out to be the victim in wherever possible; not only does it give them situational power, which is always useful to anyone, it gives them the attention and drama they truly crave. #metoo is literally "pound me, too".

So what happens if, in cases like the 2020 riots, women simply cannot make themselves out, personally or collectively, to be the victim. Then they wish to stand as near to the victim (metaphorically) as possible, while taking selfies and wringing their hands about how upset and disturbed they are. To a woman watching someone else receive attention and drama while they get none is like watching someone else eat cake that they are not allowed a slice , something which some men have noticed:

So how does one leverage these kinds of events?

• When any woman not personally known to you expresses a political sentiment, assume she is doing so for attention until and unless her actions prove otherwise.
• Do not bother thinking about whether you agree with the sentiment, or how to refute it if you don't. In most cases, only men have actual political sentiments involving principles.
  
• If this woman is both attractive to you and logistically available to you, immediately begin thinking about how to leverage this to encourage pole-jumping behaviour.
• Do not give her attention for political posturing by discussing the matter with her directly, especially not by arguing with her.
• Think about how you can make jumping on your dick part of the political drama experience, and come up with a plan.
  

How exactly this last one happens will depend on the nature of what is going down, which means you're going to have to do a little thinking for yourself. But with a little game, you should be able to do that so long your keep her real goals in mind.

For example, in the case of the 2020 riots, if you happen to be lucky enough to have been born an intelligent and well-socialized black man (one of the most exalted of male demographics in 2020s America), it's time to get your ghetto on. Never before has fucking a black man been worth so many wokeness points. It doesn't matter that when the incident is over, white people's natural (and wholly rational) racism will reassert itself, and once again, most white girls who fuck black men will be fat ones, trailer trash, or both.... because you are out to get your dick wet right now.

Just act woke (but not so woke as to be unmanly), gangsta (but so gangsta as to scare her off), and regale her with (wholly fictional) tales of your personal clashes with tyrannical police. Remember that scar you got when you were six years old and jumped off the diving board of your parents' olympic-sized pool backwards, and hit it on the way down? Yeah, that was now totally a police baton two years ago. And so on. You're looking to create a fuckable blend of tough, worldly gangsta with principled civil rights negro.

If your demographics don't match this, because you are less African than Erik the Red, then you want to target right-wing chicks instead. Strap on your AR15 (if you don't own one by now, why the hell am I wasting my time talking to you?) and take her with you as you go play Roof Korean with other white conservatives in some place just close enough to the riots to give her that little thrill of imagined danger. There is of course zero chance that collegiate Antifa LARPers will actually jump in their beater 2004 Hondas and come give you trouble... their idea of fighting involves bike locks and pieces of paving brick, not 55 grain boattail FMJs.

Then afterwards (or before) take her shooting. Coach her on proper technique. Put your hands on her body to move her into the proper stance. Put your arms around her from behind to adjust her grip on the pistol. Then afterwards it's back to your place.

You get the idea. Bitches love drama... take them on a guided tour of it.
