This post will get me thrashed. I'm sure of it. Why? Well, what I'll share will go against almost every 'masculine' line of ideology that men who profess to know Red Pill thought hold at their core. Basically, after reviewing my behavior through the writing of this post - I seem pretty gay. I'll admit it. Read further.

However, I will say this preemptively, after reading one of the first side bar linked readings, titled "To the 'Game doesn't really matter that much' crew: you've all been lied to" (https://theredarchive.com/archive/34665), I came to a realization that game, is the internal state of mind that precedes PUA. Now, I'm sure that plenty of people will, have and may redefine game, but for the sake of my argument, let's just go off of the definition given in this post - "It's your charisma, your social intelligence, and your proficiency in the art of seduction. Game is the deeply-ingrained belief that you are confident and self-sufficient, which manifests itself in the form of outcome independence." i.e. a state of confidence in oneself - thoughts/emotions and ability to utilize them to manifest your intended outcomes and be OK no matter what happens. Okay. So there's that.

Why is that important? Why did that article even come to mind? Because I have been a long time lurker on the forums. I have also learned the surface level PUA stuff. The fun stuff. The outward manifestations of internalized game that are the drawing point for peoples attention when they first get into wanting to learn about game. Watch a video of Mystery talking about this and that and how it all coalesces to the point of banging super hottie 10's all the time etc. etc. I could grasp the surface level stuff, DHV's the DLV's all that stuff that mimicked the internal state the aforementioned article refers to, yet I wasn't at a point where I needed to delve deeper into the minds of the men who discovered these principles and discovered how to systematically manifest them to produce success with women. They really understand WHY they worked. I didn't understand the mental point of origin that these PUA principles manifested from. I was just attracted to the glitz and glamor of what happened when they were manifested.

I say all this because I can recognize the shallow line of thought in comments throughout Red Pill forums. People who talk about 'you should do x y z to get this result' or 'you're being a pussy man up.' < That type of bullshit. But I would venture to suggest that many who post here don't TRULY UNDERSTAND the WHY of the principles - the point of origin of where the principles came from. And that's ok. For all intents and purposes.

Seriously, I'm not knocking it. If it works it works. Why would I care where all the ingredients in the sausage come from and the history of sausage making, if I know how to make it and enjoy it. The depth of pain required to reach that point of mental abandon talked about in the "Confessions of a reformed Incel" are THE point of origin (from what I can tell) that many had to reach to begin to break apart the system and understand it. Quite frankly, I don't want to have to get to that point. I want to internalize and understand their pain to such an extent that I never have to go there but still know WHY the principles work.

I don't want to have to pee on the electric fence to find out it's not a good idea. I want to learn from the people who have come before me, and really, really know the truth like they do. With that being said, Because I can operate the principles from understanding how to apply them, I have had success with them. Until I hit the point that I am at now. Being left when I didn't want the relationship to end. This has me thinking about how the fuck did this happen?

Remember the definition I loosely defined as being able to manifest the desires results. Well this breakup situation has me sitting back looking over all of the success I had with operating the principles i.e. the PUA and now looking at the train off of the fucking tracks asking myself, what the fuck happened? It seemed so sure. With that said I'm sure hundreds, if not thousands of men, that operate the principles of Red Pill logic find themselves in this boat, and I'm sure there are many like myself that don't fully grasp the depth of understanding behind them. Like I said before, the people who lack this depth are easy to pick out because of their 'man up pussy' comments. And those are the ones I will probably get thrashed by, which is okay with me. Part of the process is being honest about who I am, what I have done, and growing through to the next level so here it is.
