Read Models by Manson and The Book of Pook. The books that teach you how to be the best version of yourself are the only ones worth anything. Everything else just tells you things you want to hear.

Read The Age of Innocence and realize that you've just traded a broadly accepted conformity for a narrower one based on gaming that conformity. You have just inverted your values instead of coming to new ones. You are aspiring to Lawrence Lefferts, a smirking little shit who games morality in order to get some puss. Be what Newland could have been instead.

You know those middle-range girls who dye their hair or put a bunch of metal shit in their face or who dress hyper-feminine or artsy or whatever? It's that. You turn up the cultural capital when you don't have the flesh value.

http://www.the-alpha-lounge.com/peacocking.html

Peacocking is a term used by pickup artists (PUA's) to describe the act of wearing bright, flashy, attention getting clothing. This was made famous by Mystery ( the pickup artist most known for his VH1 show 'The Pickup Artist) as part of his 'Mystery Method' for attracting and seducing women. Mystery is known for taking this strategy to the extreme where he and his understudies would be seen wearing shiny shirts, light-up jewelry, feather boas, colorful cowboy hats, goggles, 5-inch platform boots, and anything else to make a PUA stand out in the crowd.

The theory behind peaocking is that the more attention one can draw to them self, the easier it will be to grab the attention of women and ultimately attract and seduce them. It is also said that the act of wearing such outrageous accessories and pieces creates the perception of confidence and comfort with ones self image. Someone who is not afraid to stand out in the crowd and be different is someone that most women will find attractive..

His original book even does it because at the end he gets bored of banging vapid sluts in clubs every night and dressing like a retard and failing to create any real meaningful connections with other humans and he gets himself a normal gf using normal human conversation and lives a normal life.

Literally everything ever made by real social dynamics (rsd) is great. Changed my life radically. Blueprint decoded is life changing. Im dedicated to reading. Meditation and exercise now. Social skills and positivity rocketed. Cannot recommend rsd highly enough. You learn to be attractive and get girls but you realize that is only a small part of fulfillment. Not to hate but mystery method and magic bullets is 10 years out of date. People laugh but self development can put you on a track to your highest potential.

The ideology part is where people get their value from merely how many girls they get to spread their legs, and the redpill stuff that's trying to interpret evolutionaly psychology for social interaction and reflects on how society treats the genders.

What you responded to, however, is some PUA strategy and not an ideology. Don't misuse Zizek like that.

I like RSD videos too. It covers all the thing you can actively look at yourself doing or not doing in Real Social Dynamics and you actually improve. Well I did

The meditation stuff that the main coach Tylor feels a little fuzzy, but in the end it's just "free yourself from social pressure" (and people who say you're silly for trying ways to improve your life)

Why go to therapy? And why "sell", I just watched videos on youtube. I got some ideas, did things differently, got laid, got interested in meditation. It's not more or less. I'm not 100% clear where this anger toward it comes from.
I'm not denying that /r9k/ and the redpill reddit is full of angry kids and the fact that the communities overlap, but that should invalidate this "psychology book" stuff. Yes, probably I learned nothing that isn't part of some psychology book, but here it's packaged for a purpose.

Aha, so now you're going into another direction.
Well if you get to the point where you don't feel needy, the good girls are much easier game too, for course. Pick-up like that is just a sport. PS: use condoms, kids.

I'm sure the 19yo getting physical with the 40yo in this clip is a very bad party slut

The basic message if just to let go of your ego and what you can or can't do. You can be nice and still get some.
