Updates about TRP and the Community

I don’t like writing posts that sound like begging for money, and if you’ve been following my work for any length of time you’ll know that among the red pill gurus that come and go in this sphere, I’m one of the few that has not really attempted in any big way to monetize my work.

I’ve always believed in the freedom of information. The exchange of this information has been such a high priority to me, I’ve cultivated a community on Reddit, two independent websites (the development and continued hosting, funded entirely by me), and a number of offshoots on various platforms.

The meat and potatoes of my work (both written and curated) has always been free and available. In fact- a lot of “gurus” just collect my work, repackage it and try to sell it for $$$, but you can get it all for free if you just follow my work.

That said, this is time consuming, and in some cases, actually quite costly. Our membership on TRP.RED has done a phenomenal job self-funding at least some of our hosting costs, which has brought our platform into ad-free status. Which is nice, because the ads sucked.

However, in the next few weeks / months, we are planning on growing our space and releasing more content, projects, and some very entertaining things. And you might want to learn about it. (You can if you subscribe to the patreon!)

These things cost money to fund, and suck up a lot of my time. I would like to be able to do more for the community and I’m able to do so with a little extra financial freedom.

Subscribe to Patreon

So I’m going to pimp my Patreon here. Before you unsubscribe from my substack- don’t freak out! You won’t have to expect to receive updates like this coming into your mailboxes that often. My news & updates will primarily be posted on Patreon. So Make sure you subscribe over there to stay apprised.

Exclusive news (and early access) about the upcoming projects are available to paid subscribers and I gotta tell you, it’s going to be a fun Summer for TRP.

I will always continue posting my essays on Substack, TRP.red, and /r/theredpill, largely free, for my audience. Writing for me is cathartic and if it helps you on your journey it’s time well spent. However, I am going to introduce one big change to the substack:

New Posts will be able to be previewed early on Patreon before they appear elsewhere, and occasionally there will be subscriber-only posts that can only be read as Patreon subscribers.

(Sidenote: I’ve looked into hooking up stripe on substack and it just doesn’t seem like a great option for privacy, at least right now).

Additionally, I don’t usually do a lot of one-on-one coaching. My forte has always been curating and broadcasting information. However, in the case that somebody does want to reach me for one-on-one, I am introducing a tier on the patreon (LTR) that’s outrageously priced but will indeed get you one-on-one advice and discussion. It’s expensive because I only plan to offer this to an exclusive few. I am not starting a bootcamp online school for the boys, but I am offering a few select slots for immediate access directly to me if you truly desire it.

Check out the new tiers and subscribe today!

Should I pay for the date?

I don't want to be that beta/provider guy who pays for the date and provides for the woman, and then ends up having to go on 3-4 dates before actually fucking.

But at the same time I don't want to be the pussy who insists on splitting it 50/50, I just feel like that makes you seem like a pretty weak person.

This isn't just about paying for a date, but more about how much should you actually provide in a relationship?

If you think a date makes a relationship, then you've probably not been on many, so I suggest you start your education. 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.

That out of the way, you're not the girls father. It's not your responsibility to feed them. The only thing you're obliged to do with a date is bring them home as safely as when you picked them up. On that point, you really don't have a choice. You don't want to get a visit from the police, because the only information that have led them to conclude you're the last person to see the girl.

Understanding dating, doesn't mean you need to do it yourself though. Do as the sodomites do. Download the latest hookup app, study up on how to employ game on your smartphone, put together an appealing profile, and get to work.

Remainds me of the forum side post

My mother is not a happy woman. At 56 she says she feels “invisible”, and she has felt this way for the past ten years. For somebody who was completely defined by her physical appearance and by the reaction she got from others, getting older was especially tough

She attracted men who bought her stuff, lots of it, and I honestly don’t think it mattered to her what they were like as people. I’m pretty sure she was never in love, except maybe with the idea of being loved by as many people as possible.

She has changed in some ways and stayed the same in others. She still mostly hates women, unless they are old or fat. She still likes young men. She has given up on romantic love. These days she lives for her grandchildren, two gorgeous boys upon whom she lavishes attention and affection that to be honest I have mixed feelings about.

She looks in the mirror less, in fact, she can’t stand to now, nor can she stand to have her photo taken. I find it tricky to have an adult conversation with her. It’s difficult to have a conversation with somebody who isn’t interested in other people, or other things. She has no hobbies or interests
