Periodic reminder that you CANNOT help your down bad blue pill friends
My friend got broken up with in his dead bedroom relationship, was over texting her when she wasn't putting any effort, and then just dumped him.
Been trying to help him cope and he has decided he is worthless and deserves to be treated like shit
Will not listen to any counter examples whatsoever and is waiting for her to take him back
I've said everything I can to tell him she was trash and treated him like shit and he doesn't care
You cannot help guys with their mouth stuck to the tit of the matrix they're in. It's pointless
Matt Forney
I vaguely remember that guy. If memory serves, he wasn't that good.
in fact in fact literally actually thoroughly literally
Little tip on writing: try not to be redundant and/or excessively wordy. If omitting a word doesn't change the meaning of a sentence, then omit it.
I am in fact thoroughly searching for a couple of threads created by inmalafide/Matt Forney/Ferdinand Bardamu actually in fact literally everywhere from archives such as WaybackMachine to still his website but still essentially nothing was found.
WaybackMachine still truly excludes all his threads from being archived due to being most likely accused of misogyny. I am also additionally searching still mainly for this thread/article today with no success of indirectly reviving it:
If your girl is good friends with girls you don't like - even if she complains about those same friends - don't be confused about why she is friends with that woman
It is because your girl is more similar to those friends you don't like and the things you don't like about those friends than not
You just haven't seen it yet
Do the friends hate men? Yup, your girl probably has an issue with men too. Are the friends a hoes? Bad news man. Do the friends have little to no empathy or are selfish? Bad news.
Women aren't actually friends with women they actually cannot stand. If they are close it's not a coincidence. Disregard her excuses
Once again back here. I started lifting religiously what I consider to be 3x per week and have cut off the excess religiously from my life porn is also down to once or twice to a week I'm still improving in that aspect but I still struggle how does one project value other than looks and physique I get it's career and so much of dating takes place online and idk I have mixed experiences but I want to know from you guys in one extreme or other should I cut off social media by social media I mean insta reddit etc and try focusing all my efforts irl cultivating a social circle (I have read how to win friends and influence others by dale Carnegie), cold approach although it's nerve wrecking with zero successes thus far it's still a confidence booster like lifting. Let me know guys thanks all. One more thing at some point I feel like I want to ask "how do you manage and sustain more than two plates"
Read More@Thorin the sidebars at TRP, MRP, and WAATGM are all worth reading
Rollo and Roissy/Heartiste are my personal favorites and great places to start.
Back then Roosh V was still writing his blog.
Roosh and his blog were my gateway into this space. His original PUA blog and seduction board helped out young AFC me back around 2000-2002
@Thorin I would read the sidebar first and then maybe Heartiste

Also you can ask questions in AskTRP forum here. It is closer to Reddit than this side of the site
I first came onto the red pill reddit forum around 2012 or 2013. Honestly I was spending more time on 4chan. Back then Roosh V was still writing his blog. I want to catch up. I'm trying to get a core reading list.
I am not asking for a suggested reading list of every book that a guy might find useful. I'm asking for the most important reading for understanding the red pill way of thinking and where it's now at. I've seen you can get the original sidebar from the red pill archive. The archive also has a lot of the old blogs. Ive also seen there is a 2024 long list of reading on reddit that has Tomassi on it.
I guess partly I'm asking does anyone actually read the old sidebar or any of the old blogs? Massive intellectual history just not sure if it is "live". Or does everyone just start with Tomassi's books?
Also what happened with the quarantine and why is it so hard to post on reddit?
Any help appreciated.
Read MoreI didn't really care too much for his "super empath" wording but his description of the narcissist psychology and their meeting a person with a fair amount of depth and rapport did make sense to me
I haven't heard of what you described, I have noticed narcs tend to date eachother often (the "toxic" relationship) that often gets talked about
I have noticed that narcs getting incredibly intoxicated on people with depth to their character but low enough self esteem to latch on
I find the more one respects themselves and loves themselves the tactics of the narc never really appeal to the self-loving deep person
