Doin’ It Live (again)

I’m in Vegas for most of this month (July is promo month for what I do), but I did make time for a Tom Torero interview last week, on the 4th of July no less.

Tom’s a good guy, and was (or still is) a partner of Nick Krauser’s crew. We talked for an hour, but I could’ve gone longer with him. We discussed a lot in that time. Have a listen on youtube or you can download the interview from iTunes (#27).

Let me know what you think here or you can comment on the youtube link too.

Thanks Tom.

@ scribbleberg Yeah, who doesn’t love a good male suicide joke. Funny stuff. I posted this in the comments section before she disabled them: “Hey Maggie S., can you do a bit where you make fun of homeless men? That would be funny, yeah? Isn’t the suffering and weakness of others hilarious? Maybe you could make a wacky joke or two about their “neckbeards” and how “creepy” they are. That would be clever, original, and inspired in the way we’ve come to expect from feminists. I’ll bet homeless men are just mad because they can’t get laid. What about the… Read more »

Rollo….there are some things i don’t understand about frame.
When you are talking about frame…especially IN a marriage…what kind of frame do you mean?
– To play from a dominant standpoint
– to dread her and game her (endlessly)
– to never fully commit, i.e always having plates (also in a marriage)

I don’t plan to marry, but i think that i haven’t fully understood what frame really means!!

Thank u

P.S: Are there “Frame” differents between business/privat communications?

It is really interesting that Torrero interviewed Rollo. Torrero made some negative comments about Rollo’s first book, Rational Male. Watch his youtube video where he talks about books on PUA. He not so subtly steers his viewers away from Rollo’s perspective citing an “us vs them” mentality prevalent in the manosphere. It is also important to note that Torrero faked one of his infield pickup videos. Links are here: http://daygame.com/cafe/index.php?topic=6196.0 http://krauserpua.com/2014/12/12/tom-torero-fakes-an-infield-kiss-close/ I’m not saying Torrero is a bad guy and I don’t think he’s a huckster on the level of RSD.

That’s one of those videos that’s hard to watch since you’re rather embarrassed for the subject. She was among her own people and could barely get a laugh out of them.

One of those loud mouth attention whores who tries to push her voice deeper, louder, and more grating just in case she might accidentally attract a non-androgynous male through a minute display of femininity. Never liked those types even when I was Blue Pill. Especially when they thought their meandering, punchlineless stories made them funny.

@scribblerg “Maggie” – what she blabs could seem threatening until you realize the obvious about her. She is at best a 3. With that attitude, she will never attract or enjoy any alpha although she yearns for one as all women do. She is psychologically compensating for extreme lack of self confidence and disappointment in herself for sexual dissatisfaction. Her body language and tone screams her sense of self worthlessness. The slumped shoulders, concave torso, elbows held close, etc. blatantly reveal her horrible insecurity and self loathing. Her voice is a droning morose monotone of negativity. She displays no feminine… Read more »

Via Negativa is brilliant in its simplicity.

It’s the kind of knowledge acquired up close and personal, often as a result of having skin in the game.

Once again, riffing on Fred’s comment, I see the beta, comfort, provisioning as a game tactic. Coming from an alpha frame. A tactic when necessary. Fred: “It is possible not to get caught in the semantic trap of “red pill with blue pill garnish” by noting that one can do tenderness/romantic gestures in an LTR you are keen to maintain without supplicating or breaking frame.” And one of Rollo’s sublinks in essays from above links to CH’s beta strategy as game.

I’m happy to have provoked some thought. I realize I had too much pressure of speech about the beta tactic. No lie, Rollo’s interjections realigned my thoughts on the issue today and made me think I over-spoke.

In real life, though, I’m keeping good frame, practicing good game and reaping the benefits. Hopefully what I comment on is not too contextual.
What works for me is not as important as universal truths that are more important.

I’m just catching up on all this and in some ways, this is the most productive RP exchange ever for me. Why? Cuz being alpha doesn’t mean being an asshole, being alpha (a horrible term for male dominance) is about setting the frame. Example: Cooking dinner. If I’m cooking dinner because it’s “fair” and my share of the work, that’s Beta. If I’m cooking dinner because I love to cook and I do my own recipe and don’t give a fuck that my GF is super picky about every single aspect of food and just make what love – that’s… Read more »

@sjfrellc “I think it is simple. Ties into what info you got from Vulpine and YaReally. I will be uncharacteristically brief: You didn’t fuck her good enough. And the feral sexual responses were when she was ovulating.” Ultimately, yes. That nails it. (heh) I’m just astonished at how this can still feel like a punch in the gut. I just went and walked for a few hours to hash it out with myself. Basically, she thought I had potential. When we first were hanging out I did my own thing and blew her mind with my reality and exploits, her… Read more »

@Forge the Sky It doesn’t matter how analytical you think you’re being here. Explaining to her why it didn’t work out is too overt no matter how you try to finagle your comment into some rationalization of gaming her. I’ve do this myself, and when I do it’s essentially turning analysis of what I did wrong and trying to learn from it into an attempt to game her and get her back. There is a reason why you shouldn’t try to game girls you failed with from pre RP: it reliquinshes any frame you’ve built up before you even realize… Read more »

I think you make a great point. The relationship already has a frame – and it’s hers in Forge’s case. I think he can change that via emotional dynamics, as I stated above as I’ve realized that even the women who I believed harmed me the most were easily affected by me actions and behavior. When I consider my own marriage – without shame, finally – I get that the times when I was dominant were the times when we were happiest. I also refused to see my ex cutting me off from sex as message to get in better… Read more »

Athol’s MAP was a great entry for me. But his message board sucked ballz and got me seriously offtrack for awhile with it’s conflicting “alpha with a side of beta.” Every…Single…Time I went the sensitive route I had a setback. Every time I upped the alpha I had a breakthrough. That’s when I abandoned him altogether and started hanging around in healthier neighborhoods (TRM, Heartiste). Here’s the crazy contrast that demonstrates how this really works: Years ago when we were first married I bought my wife a brand new car for Christmas one year.

Turns out that coyote skinning is a lot harder if you leave the feet on. Here’s a vid of a guy skinning a coyote and in the beginning he makes clear that he’s going to skin it with the claws on but that it takes quite a bit more effort to do so. Cutting the feet off makes for easier skinning. You can see how much of the time spent doing this skinning focuses on the feet/claws.

In a long article on how to remove coyote pelts.
“Start by cutting off all four legs right above the second joint, using a real sharp hatchet. Make sure you lay the legs on a sturdy log or steady, rock-solid surface of some type. By doing this you won’t dull your hatchet. The lower part of the leg is discarded because there isn’t enough fur on it to be of any value.”

What you can learn in the manosphere. @Forge I spent too many decades not fucking my wife well enough. Those days have ended.

@Not Born This Morning – Awesome quote.

@scribblerg – “Being an asshole is a cheap and easy way to impose your frame on others…” Awesome quote as well. ‘Tis part of the reason why I don’t hang out much at MMSL anymore. So many guys there routinely confused alpha with asshole, failing to realize a difference between alpha and just constantly throwing your weight around because you can’t think of any other way to get what you want. That site is just so lame now.

Oh they seem so enrapturing and unattainable at first and then a miserable quandary of puzzles in the process. Then you learn to fuck them. Then you get tired of them. Then you move on and they become so, so, so pitiful.

2 years ago, I was visiting my parents waaayyy out in a very rural part of Virginia.

One evening while I was chilling on the deck, a good sized coyote came prancing through the backyard. I went inside and grabbed the Bushmaster. 2 shots later, dead coyote ( road runner optional ).

My uncle then told me that the county gave 75 bucks for the coyote’s head. The county was getting overrun by coyotes, and bobcats were starting to become an issue also.

I left the decapitating to my uncle.

@sjfrellc: (and Rollo!) On the discussion of Athol Kay: Nobody mentioned /r/marriedredpill so let me say we have adopted Athol Kay and his works are very important but they are not the final word. Further, his blog is now female dominated and a mess. We have a lot of analysis of Alpha/Beta on /r/marriedredpill and lots of Shit Tests and Comfort Tests as well- and we do it with an overwhelmingly male, Red Pill perspective. At least that is the goal. We have definitely found that you cannot go straight Alpha a-hole and there is a balance- but some of… Read more »

Beta is a character defect that should be corrected as soon as humanly possible. In the long term, Betatude , as I have come to understand it,is dangerous and detrimental to progress and internal happiness. I’m not a fan of the Purple Pill. One doesn’t need to be an insufferably arrogant asshole to be the polar opposite of Beta. I’d actually argue that Beta is more assholish than ” Alpha “. Women, mostly, with all of their practically unstable mental states, desire decisiveness and consistency, regardless of how much the FI keeps modifying maleness. Most females can identify ” maleness… Read more »

Maybe to feminist holdouts, as earrings? Or lip-studs? Very attractive, suits you, madam, suits you .. there’s another $20 mate, ker-ching.

If other’s would like to refer to me as SJF in the future go for it. It’s simpler. I went out to help a friend spray a couple of acres of RR corn with roundup today. The experience of logistics in a rural area and getting my spray rig up and driving down the rural roads in a John Deere 5420, 83 hp tractor in perfect weather was liberating. Not a single glitch occurred–a rare thing out there. Having a farm and engaging in adventures out there is the best way for me to become anti-fragile, ever. Although I never… Read more »

Great podcast…the best so far. Red pill is “Theory”/awakening game is the technique and application. I also liked the discussion or references to hypergamy documented in media and ads… Guys are “afraid” to be assertive in this SJW/feminist culture leading to white knighting as a sexual strategy. Women using this “divide and conquer” strategy of “he’s so much nicer than you”… My blind spot in game is knowing when to shut up…when not to respond. I’ve become overly focused on “winning” that I fail to see that walking away, that going silent are more effective than a witty rejoinder. Also,… Read more »
