2nd or 3rd the Athol comments. The MMSL blog is totally dominated by strong, occasionally angry and bitter women who ride commenters and newbies without mercy and criticize without end if the man dares show any weakness. That would be enough to avoid the blog but then they make a habit of reporting any commenter who dares criticize another woman on the blog! No thanks.

In my experience, TRP Reddit is the only place on the web where men can actually discuss these issues without women dominating the discussion, and deriding anything the men do that does not attract their wives, while hamstering anything a woman does- including divorcing and leaving her man if he is not giving her enough sex. Whoa to the man who complains he is not getting enough sex on MMSL and is ready to leave the marriage- it is HIS fault don’t you know! He needs to change and work his ass off to get his wife attracted to him again. If the script is flipped and the woman is not getting enough sex, well, then the husband is not doing his job and she should get ready to leave him. Got it. Again, no thanks. Will stick with TRP and the rationale male.

Exactly my thoughts on Athol. The problem is he is heavily influenced by women. They run his blog site, review his books, and tell him what to say. Try to mention Dread Game on MMSL and you get banned IME.

This is good stuff Rollo. I’ve been a fan of Athol’s for some time now, but I have to say that on a regular basis I just feel like something is “off” with much of his advice. I think for me it often comes across as parlor tricks instead of real advice, but I realize he is dealing with men that are already in shitty marriages and he is trying to throw them some ideas to get the ball rolling.

But, the stuff you discuss here seems to be more about “inner game” for lack of a better term. That is where I want to focus, because frankly I’m not picking up random chics in the bar at night. I’m also not currently buried by years of betatude with my current mate, although we met and started dating prior to taking the red pill, so I AM very much interested in figuring out how to get and keep my frame right this time after a failed marriage of 13 years.

Looking forward to more info for the married/attached guys. ;)

The opening section, Going Alpha, is vitally important, and (contrary to the fears of some commenters) absolutely doable. Do not, do not, do NOT underestimate the 2nd graf in that part. It’s not easy, but it is crucially important. And really, how often are those descriptions separate from each other, hm?

All excellent advice. I learned long ago about flirting in front of the women I’m with. It tends to make them work a lot harder when they know that they have to keep your interest, and that you have options. More than a few times, I tend to like places I frequent and know a lot of the people. This has two benefits, it’s my home turf and most of the people know me, and I know most of the women and regularly flirt with them. When a woman gets upset, I switch to the – “I’ve know them a lot longer than I’ve known you, and I will not give up my friends.” Shuts them up and really, they are auditioning for a part – it’s up to them to sell it – not for me. I have choices, and making them aware of that fact is the goal early when dating – it has a lot of benefits.
