It’s the age of the internet, so there’s going to be some unique issues with guys who are sorting themselves out. There’s a lot of information on here about sexual dynamics. Even though the red pill itself is a small niche area, if you were so inclined to, you could spend months just going through Chateau Heartiste, Roosh V, The subreddits, YouTube, let alone all the random books floating around on PDF e.g. the anti-dump machine.
The books are, and always will be the gold standard when it comes to content for you to learn how to handle your main issues: assertiveness, nice guys behaviors, the sexual marketplace, game, Frame and Dread. The sidebar for example was written by men who have either spent that time perusing all those online spaces and condensed things into a normal length, or like Dr. Glover, had their own practice in the field and condensed years of medical practice.
One of the issues that men find is that new high they get from taking the pill and getting some success from it. They are out of the anger phase (and into the residual anger phase, but that’s for another time) and looking for more and more to learn, to ingest. Ravenous, yet also stalled. I hate to say it, but if you actually look through all the material online, it’s mostly garbage. 95% of things you read are from idiots doing stupid things and ruining their lives. Worse yet, they all do it so predictably that if you’ve read one of them, you’ve basically read them all.
Every time, it’s a feelings based ego driven idea that screws everything up, or it’s a covert contract that leads to predictable consequences, or it’s a neurotic man so worried about the sky falling that he refuses to take action when warranted and causes more of those predictable results. After a hundred of them, it starts to temper you to your fellow man. One of the worst beliefs I’ve had tested since entering this space, is the one of genetic determinism.
It’s amazing how many men cannot seem to get out of their own way and thrive, just a little, with the amount of support and help that’s available to them. I have to conclude there’s some gene out there that codes for ‘not a cautionary example’ and some guys just don’t have it. If you’ve read my books, you know the names IAmSteveMcQueen or AlphaAsWolf, or VampireSquidina’s husband. If you’ve watched my videos you recognize Trudatness. They were noteworthy examples of men who fuck up, but they are all the same:
Steve let his ego drive his behavior and ended up leaving his wife and turning his new girlfriend into a carbon copy of her. AlphaAsWolf was so neurotic about shit tests that he turned a blowjob into a domestic violence accusation. Trudatness refused to see his daughter without oneitis and tried to buy her affection then lashed out when she refused his covert contract. Those three men are replicated hundreds of times, albeit in more boring scenarios.
Fortunately, the guys who have the issues will have their research overload, then they will move on. If you have potential and a head on your shoulders, you too will get past it. Otherwise, pay attention and see if you’re doing this for more than 6 months. If that’s the case, you’re using the red pill as a buffer against what you’re supposed to do when you’re red pill. You’re supposed to be getting laid, hopefully from your wife, but not necessarily. You’re supposed to get Frame, practice boundaries, eliminate covert contracts, understand the world with men and women in 2024.
