Took myself to an AA meeting last night because Tuesday night into Wednesday was the closest I came to grabbing a drink in the past 10 months.

While I'm not 100% sold on the 12 Step Program, I recognized just being around and hearing people's stories helped rationalize some of the shit I was dealing with.

I've seen a few users mention there's not much RP content on addiction, specifically drugs which is my specialty, I went ahead and made a private tribe for anyone suffering from any form addiction who wants to quit.

For more on what I specifically went through this week: putting down my dog of 13 and a half years. First death I've gone through sober and it opened up Pandora's Box on a ton of shit I guess I never internalized because I masked them with narcotics.

My condolences to you on the passing of your pet dog. Such a loss is one I can sympathize with and it's good to read that you've a group of actual people you can fall back on in these times. Give yourself the time you need to mourn your dogs passing. Take some solace in knowing that all dogs go to heaven. Cats, not so much.

Found her secretly chasing richer guys - should I keep her around for sex or cut her off?

Been seeing this girl casually for a while now. Sex is fire, energy is good when we're together, but recently I found her Threads account (she assumed I didn't have one). She's out there posting thirst traps, flirting with bikers, and clearly chasing guys who look richer or more flashy.

I haven't confronted her. She has no idea I saw any of it.

I never planned anything serious with her - no long-term intentions, just casual. But now I'm wondering:

Should I keep her around strictly for sex and detach emotionally, or just cut her off and move on?

Personally, I'm more inclined toward keeping her around for casual sex, as it'd require lots of energy to find someone else, since I'm not interested in building a long lasting relationship anyway, but a part of me feels disrespected.

How would you handle this? Looking for straight takes.

There's no take to really have on this as it's a non-issue. You're not her husband and she's not your wife. The only thing that's changed since you two started banging is that you've confirmed she's pursuing other guys which means she lacks the traits indicative of loyalty.

Which is just as well, as you weren't looking for a chaste virgin to take as a wife and she wasn't looking for her prince charming to sweep her off her feet. If you enjoy the lay and she's otherwise pleasant company, add her to an inventory of plates, and bang away. However, if you're humoring exclusivity of any kind, you should definitely look elsewhere.

To aid you in that, consider investing into a reliable ready reference you can pick up and study to better prepare yourself for engaging the opposite sex. I'd suggest that you get yourself a copy of Doc Love's "The System: The Dating Dictionary". Doc Love, who until his passing was also known as Tom Hodges, wrote a weekly advice column that's archive is mirrored on several mens focused sites and a podcast. His media is a bit pricey, but it's a solid foundation a guy can branch out from in RP aware circles. I'd suggest you review his advice column to decide if his view on dating and relationships is aligned with what you aspire for yourself. To save yourself a search, give this scribed link a gander to find out if his #book is something you'd like to add to your library. It should also be available on libgen.

Complete noob to all this here, looking for advice.

Alright, so long story short, I'm from a third world country in South Asia, born and raised. 6'0, 83kg, skinny fat. I'm employed and I recently started doing Muay Thai in weekends. I'm 22, and I've never really had a girlfriend or anything like that, but I do want to start fucking women.

I completely understand and agree with everything that is discussed on here, but I think the problem is execution - most girls over here aren't fluent in English, and I'm not all that fluent in the local language. And most of them are hellbent on marriage and shit, so it's hard to find a thing to fuck.

Again, complete noob here idk. Hit me with your best advice. Not a big social media guy so I probably typed this all out wrong but eh

While local girls tend to seek a future husband, foreign girls will oftentimes be more receptive to a casual fling. Keep at the Martial arts, get a solid 7+ hours of sleep, and work yourself up to be a good sparring partner for the guys looking to go pro. If it's an option open to you, spend some time and energy hitting up the tourist spots.

Regardless of which path you take, you should consider investing into a reliable ready reference you can pick up and study to better prepare yourself for engaging the opposite sex. I'd suggest that you get yourself a copy of Doc Love's "The System: The Dating Dictionary".

Creating an actual hard definition for what an "incel" is takes the power away from it as an insult. In my experience, "incels" use the term to create narratives and "critique" world history.
