Rollo Tomassi confession time: There was a time when I was in my late teens to right before I was 21 when I would’ve easily married one of my first LTR girlfriends. My Beta conditioned state of mind was such then that I would’ve launched headlong into what would surely have been a tragic marriage based on Blue Pill naiveté and changing the course of my life.
I made a special effort to cover the commonalities of this period in what I called the Break Phase in my second book and from the Preventive Medicine series of posts. It’s a dangerous time for young men feminized and conditioned to put women’s imperatives, ambitions and support above their own. This eagerness to please and put off his own future ambitions (the ones he allows himself to entertain) is the result of an acculturation process that prioritizes identification with the feminine and sacrificial supportiveness of any woman’s ambition he may be paired with during these ages.
Often this is the first time in his life he has the real opportunity to prove his dedication to a girlfriend by arranging his life around her goals – goals that are based on her own acculturation of female empowerment and entitlement. Sometimes this drive comes from a young man wanting to out-support the performance his father dismally failed at with his victimized mother, but mostly it comes from a thorough Blue Pill conditioning that assures him the old set of books are the rule set women can be expected to follow.
This is the crux of it; he is at his most eager to please while she is just coming into realizing what her sexual market value peak can leverage for her. Don’t assume that this leveraging is strictly based on securing things for herself, but rather what her impulses are leading her to. The time at which young men are their most ready to be “the perfect boyfriend / husband” is usually when young women want monogamy the least. Young men’s Blue Pill idealism is generally unblemished by having it betrayed at this point.
When I was passing through this time I was ready to suspend, postpone or simply abandon the ambitions I wanted for myself then just for the prospect of securing a girlfriend, wife, LTR, stable and lively source of sex and intimacy.
How could I not? I’d been conditioned my whole life up to that point to believe in the Disney fairytale that had me believe if I could just do more for a woman, be more like a woman, be sensitive to her feelings, and do everything in my very limited power to help her achieve her dreams she would appreciate the effort and the sacrifice and reciprocate with her own genuine love, sex and devotion to me.
Naturally the Blue Pill had convinced me that men and women shared a mutual concept of love and that my burden of performance was only based on how well I could help a woman rise above the horrible injustices that my poisoned gender had ruthlessly perpetrated on womankind in the centuries before I was born.
I’m thankful I was spared from the worst consequences of that delusion. I know too many men today who did just what I would’ve then. Most are on their 2nd or 3rd marriage, with kids from the first or second and still wondering how it went so wrong for them. They all either forced that fantasy to happen for themselves or paired with a girl who simply hadn’t come to understand her SMV during that period before she said “I do.” Almost to the man, these men’s wives went through what I describe in Making Up for Missing Out.
It’s not to say that I didn’t take the sting of rejection during that time, but I’m glad to have been rejected in light of so many men’s experiences for making their Blue Pill dreams come true.
Wait For Me
It’s ironic that the time at which young men are most eager to put on the yoke of what the Blue Pill has conditioned them for is the same time women want it the least. As I mentioned in Dream Killers:
The truth however is that the longer you remain uncommitted, the more opportunities will be available to you. It’s been stated by wiser Men than I that women are dream-killers – and while I agree with this, I’d say this is due more to the man involved, and their own complicity and apathy, than some grand scheme of women.
[…]Women are dream killers. Not because they have an agenda to be so, but because men will all too willingly sacrifice their ambitions for a steady supply of pussy and the responsibilities that women attach to this.
I recently read a forum post from a young man who was lamenting his ‘friend zone’ state with a girl. I had to laugh because I’d heard his ONEitis girl’s exact same words, verbatim, when I was about 19 or 20. She said to him,
“You’re such a great guy, but I’m not ready for a relationship right now. How about this, if neither of us is married when we’re 30 we’ll get married, ok?”
Hearing this negotiation now at 47 I have to laugh sardonically; it’s the same ‘deal’ I’d been offered at 20. At 47 I can see the machinations behind it – “Hey Beta chump, I like your dedication to the Disneyland narrative, and you’ll make for a dutiful and lucrative supporter once I’m 30 and done with the Alphas I really want to fuck while I’m in my prime, so how about you and I get married once I’m ready to finally ‘get it right with the right guy who was there all along’ okay?”
In other words, wait for me and be my Plan B guy just in case, ok?
What makes this unfunny is that at 20, young men want to believe the best of women. They want to believe she really thinks he’s so special she wont be able to not marry him and fulfill his Beta programming at 30,…so long as he’s patient. He wants to believe her earnestness because to do otherwise would be to judge her, and that, he’s been taught, is the worst thing a man can do no matter what choices she makes. What makes it unfunny is he actually considers it as a viable option for his life.
What also makes it unfunny is that on some level of consciousness this negotiation, this very long game, is something a woman pre-plans in her head. She knows at 20 years old that she’ll need her Beta-in-waiting. It’s not serendipity that she’ll find a Beta ready to out-support and out-forgive the other guys of her “crazy mixed up past” or her “journey of self-discovery”, no, she has it planned a decade before. It may not be a conscious acknowledgement at the time, but the expectation is there long before she comes into her SMV peak and the years just before her Epiphany Phase.
Beta Idealists and the Endgame
But at the time, young men want to believe it. There’s a certain satisfaction in the prospect that the ‘happily ever after’ will be fulfilled in the future. Of course during that time it’s vital a man disabuse himself of that fantasy, become Red Pill aware and see the ‘deal‘ for what it really is – an insult to him.
For my part that came from not wanting to wait around and learning how to get laid like I wanted to. That period of my life had some great moments as well as some pit of misery ones, but I learned, I grew; and had that girl actually been unmarried at 30 instead of a divorced single mother of two when I got there, I still wouldn’t have married her.
It’s an insult to a man’s masculine nature because it presumes he’d in any way be an attractive choice for his steadfastness. Any guy who’d even entertain the insult only confirms his Beta, optionless and destitute status to a woman who’s already planning to follow the dictates of her Hypergamy. He’s the sure thing, and his Blue Pill conditioning would convince him that his burden of performance is predicated on his perseverance, when in fact it just verifies him as a guy who Just Doesn’t Get It.
Again from Dream Killers:
I tend to promote the idea that Men should be sexually and emotionally non-exclusive until age 30, but this is a minimal suggestion. I think 35 may even serve better for Men. The importance being that as a Man ages and matures in his career, his ambitions and passions, his personality, his ability to better judge character, his overall understanding of behavior and motivations, etc. he becomes more valuable to the most desirable women and therefore enjoys better opportunity in this respect. Women’s sexual value decreases as they age and it’s at this point the balance tips into the maturing Man’s favor. It’s the Men who realize this early and understand that bettering themselves in the now will pay off better in the future while still enjoying (and learning from) the opportunities that come from being non-exclusive and non-commital make him a Man that women will compete for in the long term.
One of the first things I have to explain to a young guy about the Red Pill is that what he believes is so vitally important to him in the now will be rendered meaningless in only a few years. I can only try to explain to him how his idealism about holding together his now long distance relationship with his high school girlfriend will change and decay, but at this age and with his Blue Pill conditioning it’s very hard to communicate.
The Break Phase is an all or nothing prospect when it comes to helping a young man unplug himself. Unfortunately it usually takes the trauma of a breakup (made all the worse due to his investment in a Blue Pill fantasy) and confronting the reality his girlfriend is experiencing in college and her coming into her peak SMV years.
What he lacks is the insight and experience to fully grasp his situation. One reason the Sandbergian plan for Hypergamy reaches its limit around a woman’s Epiphany Phase is because it’s at this critical point that a man can more or less be expected to be a better judge of a woman’s character – or at least that’s the anxiety that the Wall engenders in women.
This point also coincides with a woman’s SMV decaying, whilst his is on the ascent to being realized. There’s a lot riding for her on a man remaining ignorant of the Game that’s been played for the past decade. Ironically it’s this same ignorance, the one she needs him to retain for so long, that makes him unattractive and ultimately unsuitable as long term prospect she can be aroused by or respect.
Thus we see the infancy of this anxiety in her earlier years when she asks her “perfect boyfriend” to wait for her until she’s ready for him to serve her necessity. She plans ahead with the ending in mind.
I’m not at a phase where I feel I can speak or write eloquently. So I overly try to qualify myself to others. I’m somewhere in DABD short of Acceptance.

Tom,
Don’t forget China if you’re looking for fun women and a cheap life. They also bring a different aspect; often taller, much whiter and with (obv) a more Northern Asian look, less tropical/exotic and more statuesque, geisha-like. It’s very appealing even if it doesn’t sound that way. They just feel cleaner and more conservative to me than South Asian wild girls. The Chinese girl with the ‘body of a ten year old boy’ canard….oh, man…very funny misread from people who’ve never been. Asian is heaven for pure physical indulgence.
asdgamer, I don’t have to worry about getting too beefy. It never happens. I just never eat enough for that issue. SunWukong, Yeah. The marriage laws would make it a no-fly zone even if I really, really wanted kids. Luckily, going child-free doesn’t bother me much at all. I think the worry factor would do me in and even lead me to a very early grave. That’s how much I feel like I’d worry about my own kid.

Bodyweight is conditioning and adaptation and not nearly as much direct muscular stress. That’s why guys can end up doing 500 pushups in the morning. Imagine how misguided a weightlifter would be to ten sets of 50 on the bench press with, say, 55 pounds? Pushups are no different than doing a ton of 55 pound reps on the bench. Your muscle doesn’t know. There’s not some magical alchemy that goes on with bodyweight work even though so many guys seem to believe so. Yes, it’s exercise and it has its benefits but swapping out progressive resistance for a bunch… Read more »
” . . . guys can end up doing 500 pushups in the morning.”
Which is “cardio,” and thus, if your goal is strength training, doing it wrong. Lots of clueless people do things wrong. They are not the standard for what’s right.
Right. Too much bodyweight work becomes cardio because the resistance doesn’t go up, only the reps. Therefore, the coordination and conditioning improves but the strength gains are less of a factor. I say that as someone whose third favorite exercise is pullups so I don’t just hate the stuff. I like to knock out some pushups too, just for the heart rate work mostly.
Teens are having less sex, especially boys:
http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2015/07/22/american-teens-having-less-sex-according-to-study/

Women would rather share a fraction of a top alpha guy, than have the whole of a beta guy.
” . . . .the resistance doesn’t go up, only the reps.” How many super slow planche pushups can you do? If the answer is 12 or less you haven’t reached your limit yet, and when you do, you can always dump “purity” and add a sack of potatoes. Benching at least your weight is as much of a “weight room trick” as a planche pushup is a “playground trick.” They are just two different strength based skills, one manipulating your body through space, the other manipulating a barbell through space.

Bodyweight work is by far an inferior strength training regimen in comparison to progressive resistance regardless of some cool Russian dude’s abs somewhere. I’ve had this argument so many times.

You sound like everyone I have had this discussion with even down to challenging me on my ability to do some obscure pushup. It is always the same.

I can see why it’s the cooler, more spiritual thing but exercise is exercise at the end of the day. I tried it myself, cutting down to daily pushups, pullups and windsprints. Hershel-esque. No situps though. I liked the idea of; saving money, working… Read more »
” . . . you must admit that a lot of bodyweight guys have a thinly veiled or not thinly veiled supremacy complex over the meatheads in the weight room.” Sure. And a lot of guys in the weight room are quite vocal in that they believe that if it’s not iron, it’s crap. My position is that there is value in both. Throw in some basic tumbling skills and you’ve really got something that’ll get you through hard times relatively easy. And you’ve got to remember that a lot of guys are starting out at 5′ 10″, 130 lbs.… Read more »
Sun wukong “Men have it coming from every direction, even from the women in his family who you’d think would look out for his best interests. Instead, it’s all about propagating the female world view. Solipsism so powerful it overrides even the nurturing instincts for their own male offspring.” So true, I’ve come to realise this about my own mother. When I was extremely jacked (225 pounds, benching and squatting 280 in sets of 10) with an ass that showed i did squats, i was too big. when I lost about 40 pounds she was much happier; i suspect because… Read more »
True enough. But if one single lurker on SP’s site is swayed to see through the BS even a little bit, it was worth my time to post a Swiftian comment on there.
Go run SP’s URL through Alexa.com and tell me you think that might be a possibility.
Dear men: when you’re in your 20s. women have tremendous power. As you ease into your mid to late 30’s you will note a reversal of fortune. And if you keep yourself in shape, work hard — a successful professional man in a good shape in his 40s has the SMV equivalent of a 22 year old HB 9. Trust me.
Great, honest piece Rollo.
Tractor. Lolest! Kudos @ Vulpine
Me too. I love me an expensive old tractor too, one that doesn’t work and needs a lot of tender care, in fact one might even throw in a couple of some very expensive tiny lawn mowers from an undisclosed manufacturer, that need a lot of tender care too…

Bachelorcles: I agree with “female market value peaks in around 20 and mens about 10 years later”, but I don’t quite understand the “tables turn” idea. As a men, you’re not continuing to be interested in girls your own age. If at 36 my market value is much higher than those of 36 year old women, it’s not that the “tables turned”. From the fertility-biology alone, the 20-somethings are still more interesting than the 36 year olds.
@bnon Always realize that MMV and SMV are different. A dude’s SMV is maxed in his mid-late 30s, but his MMV to an SMV maxed woman is most likely not since she gives no fucks about committing at that time. You can ONS an SMV maxed woman, but you’re going to have a helluva time LTRing her regardless of your age and SMV. She still thinks she’s always going to have her choice of men, so why settle? Tables aren’t turned so much as you’re now on even footing with an SMV maxed woman in the SMP. She still isn’t… Read more »
Hi, I’d really appreciate some advice for my situation as I have been torn inside out for the past 6 months since my red pill awakening and need to make a decision once and for all. i’ll try and keep it short!! I’m about to turn 35, wife is 37 and we met when 20/22. still growing out of childhood shyness, i’d only fucked 5 women by that age, she ‘said’ her number was 8. Sex was amazing and I fell hard for her but after a ‘fairytale’ 6 months I was starting to obsess over a guy in our… Read more »
Are women really that clueless?
Yes.
@Achiles: You need to own your shit. You are married with several kids and you sound like a hypergamous woman looking to trade up.
The Red Pill is bitter and the Anger Stage is NOT the place to be thinking about ending your marriage. There will be plenty of time in 6 months for that discussion.
Regarding “M Maxim 35” that no girl will be like your mother: that is really the main pill to swallow, so it should be stated more. Once you stop with Oedipal behavior toward girls and start with rough and strategic behavior, your beta completely vanishes. It is the root of all beta behavior, at least it was to me. After that, no more confusion.
But it took me a long time because nobody said that clearly to me, and I did have a close bond with my mother. I figured it out eventually.
@Achilles I agree with BPP. OK her notch count is roughly as high as yours and she lied about it. This was a long time ago. She got pregnant only for you, and your 3 kids are not shams, they are your own children. The other stuff really doesn’t matter at this point, she thinks about you. And three young people are depending on you for their very lives. You’ve won, you have 3 good kids and a dutiful wife who wasn’t a saint 10 or more years ago. She’s not gonna divorce you from all accounts, you’re even past… Read more »

Truly a great story. I almost made the plunge like Rollo did at 21/22, but my rather homely college girlfriend dumped me. Being of Beta mind-set, I thought the world was ending. But a few weeks later I dated a smoking hot woman I was working with downtown. Quickly I forgot about my mean-spirited college girlfriend. My ex-gf’s response to my friends? “I thought he’d wait awhile before he started dating.” I guess she was really pissed off that this woman was smoking hot. All of my friends who pulled the trigger at that age are either in bad marriages… Read more »

“You’re such a great guy, but I’m not ready for a relationship right now. How about this, if neither of us is married when we’re 30 we’ll get married, ok?” It seems this is a popular choice of words of the female collective mind. I heard the exact same words verbatim from a woman when I was in in my early twenties. She added one twist when I asked her to elaborate. She said I was the kind of guy she wanted to end up with but not right now. In other words there were other men she would rather… Read more »
