The Reconstruction I

giphy

One of the most common misperceptions for guys coming into a Red Pill awareness experience is an expectation of being able to use that awareness and Game to reconstruct an old relationship. Most often this hope is about a guy wanting to ‘fix’ his broken relationship with a girl who dumped him. This is easily the most common reason Blue Pill guys make themselves open to what the Red Pill has to reveal to him. They are desperate, not for the intergender truths that the Red Pill presents, but rather for a solution to their hearts being crushed by a girl.

This is understandable when you consider that these men are still very steeped in Blue Pill idealism they’ve yet to unlearn (or understand why they need to unlearn it) and haven’t made the connection that their idealism is part of the reason why they likely were dumped. All they feel is a desperate longing to reconnect to a girl who was their ‘One’, and only now they are desperate enough to seek answers from the Red Pill.

It’s funny how some of the most ardent Red Pill deniers will be open to listening to its truths about men and women if it presents the possibility of them getting back with a former lover they invested themselves in. This is a good illustration of the degree of control Blue Pill idealism has over guys; that they would be open to amending their beliefs if it means reconnecting to those feelings he’s been cut away from.

Unfortunately, the Red Pill is not a salve for Blue Pill disillusionment. It’s a cure, not a bandaid. I tried to succinctly address this in the 7th Iron Rule of Tomassi:

Iron Rule of Tomassi #7
It is always time and effort better spent developing new, fresh, prospective women than it will ever be in attempting to reconstruct a failed relationship. Never root through the trash once the garbage has been dragged to the curb. You get messy, your neighbors see you do it, and what you thought was worth digging for is never as valuable as you thought it was.

Another Red Pill reconstruction attempt is men who make it their goal to ‘re-seduce’ a woman they failed to effectively Game while still wrapped up in their Blue Pill mindset. The first presumption is that revenge might motivate a guy to want to pump and dump a girl who once blew him out back when he was locked into his Blue Pill mentality. Women like this idea because they think it confirms men’s egos being easily bruised, but I don’t think this is always the case.

It’s entirely possible that some past coquette has taken an organic liking to “the new him” now that his Red Pill transition and better grasp of Game has made him attractive to her. I’ve had several guys relate to me about how they have turned a former ONEitis into a plate they were spinning along with others. The experience of doing so will often solidify Red Pill/Game principles for him – the act of cycling an old ‘soul mate’ into a guy’s roster of non-exclusive lovers is a lesson in taking women of a formerly idealistic pedestal and helps humanize women for him in the process.

I should also add that there’s usually a period of time necessary to effect this. Too many men will see Red Pill awareness and just the loosest form of Game as some magic formula for pulling this off too soon. A sudden incongruent shift in his demeanor only puts her off more and leaves him discouraged.

Doing Everything Right

The third type of reconstructionist is the married man  – or the guy in a multi-year LTR – seeking to find the secret to remedy his dead bedroom. There was a time (pre-internet, pre-Red Pill) when these men were reluctant to even voice the problem they were having with their sexually indifferent wives. Generally, this was due to a couple of specific fears.

The first is that most Blue Pill men are conditioned from a very early age to always find fault in themselves before they would ever imply that it would be a woman’s. This was especially true if it was about sex. If you can’t satisfy a woman, it’s your fault. If a woman isn’t aroused or attracted by you, it’s your fault, so the presumption used to be that a man could only better himself as a means to reestablish an attraction that (presumably) he had with his wife before they were married.

Back in the day this ‘improvement’ could be defined in various old books ways. He might get a promotion at work, a shift up in status and pay. He might lose weight or find some form of competition he might possibly do well in. He might change his beliefs or accede to better identifying with his wife, or do more chores around the home, help with the kids, arrange more ‘date nights’. He might go to marriage counseling or participate in his church’s “men’s spiritual retreats” in order to show that he’s growing.

All of these ways of “rekindling the old flame” are essentially a man’s effort in acquiescing to his woman’s Frame while keeping him in a perpetual state of negotiating for her genuine desire. From a Red Pill perspective we understand this, but there was a time, not so long ago, when men’s preoccupation was all about doing everything right in order to get his wife to fuck him like she used to, or with something resembling genuine enthusiasm.

The second fear men of that time had was admitting to their inability to satisfy their wife (LTR) sexually. Again, this was all about a female-dominant Frame, and his qualifying for her pleasure, but we’re talking about a time when men’s interpretation of their own masculinity was always being questioned. It’s interesting to see how times have changed with communication technology. I can remember a time when it would’ve been taboo to be too direct about sex in church. Now it’s unavoidable and we have pastors encouraging sex quota months in order to spur the asexual wives in the congregation.

In a Blue Pill social order, men learn to always qualify for women. So the natural, male-deductive response has always been to do everything right in order to keep the sex faucet flowing. Sacrifice dreams, belay ambitions, get the right job with the right status and become a person who a woman would want to bang. These are all old book presumptions based on the Beta Female-Identifying Provider archetype, but it’s important to keep this in mind today because this same do everything right presumption still persists for men today.

The following is a post from the Married Red Pill Reddit I saved about four months ago.

Story time….

I originally posted most of this in a reply over at ASKMRP but I thought I’d share here too.

You can read my post history to get all the gory details but I moved out a few months ago in exasperation after following my MRP path to a T and seeing little to no improvement in our relationship. I’ve “fixed” myself in ways I never thought I could and moving out was me punting the final decision for a bit before I blow my beautiful children’s life to pieces.

Things are calm, peaceful, friendly and kinda fun at “home” but the sexual dynamic hasn’t changed at all despite all odds. I’ve finally reached the point that I give 0 fucks either way and every day that goes by makes me a bit more ambivalent to the whole deal.

It’s taken a long time to get here but something happened last week that opened my eyes to how shitty my life has been for a looooong time and how at this point she is the only “problem” left in my life and I can’t “fix” her.

The quick back story is that I was a fat, beta fuck for a long time and have been on this journey for about 2 years. I am fairly ripped now and have “fixed” myself to the point that I feel comfortable saying I’m a top 5-10% guy in my metro. Good looking, successful business(Doubled my sales in the last 12mos! Thanks MRP!), dress well…etc.

Last week I initiated with the wife while I was over at our house helping get the kids to bed. She shot me down like she has been for months. We still fuck here and there but the quality has been shitty for a while despite implementing as much SGM as I can.

I laughed, told her goodnight and went back to my house. I actually prefer being there now. I’ve come to love the solitude too as the loneliness and missing the kids has worn off a little.

I worked out and read for a while and got bored so I decided to download Bumble and Tinder to get a no risk gauge of where I’m at if I end up nexting her. I’ve been getting plenty of IOI’s in public but I live in a small town so pursuing them would eventually lead to big problems. I also downloaded a GPS location faker and put myself in a state far, far away to make sure I don’t get doxxed by one of her shitty, single friends…

Gentlemen…It’s been 4 days and I currently have over 60 unsolicited messages from all kinds of women. My inbox is full of unsolicited tittie and pussy shots from women waayyy hotter than my wife. I’ve got 5 women literally begging me to come fuck them and another 5 or so I’m confident I could fuck within a week if I wanted.

It’s a good thing I put myself so far away or the temptation would probably be way too much to handle. I deleted the apps this morning as I’m not ready to blow everything up yet and I want to give the marriage every last chance for my kids sake. I know myself well enough to know that once I taste some strange there will no turning back. The constant buzzing of the burner phone was also killing my productivity.

The end result is that this whole experiment has killed off any last shred of oneitis I had and opened my eyes to what my life will look like going forward if this goes the way it’s heading. My wife is a good woman and is fairly hot but it appears that she may not be able to see past all those years of beta shittiness from me and that’s ok.

I didn’t tell you my story to brag but to re-affirm that only you can change and determine the quality of your life. I can tell you that 2 years ago I was a mess trying to hang on to the shreds of my marriage while my wife was pretty much repulsed by me. My wife will or will not change into the sexy woman I want over the next few months but now I really don’t care because I have PAINFULLY built myself into a man that the world will treat very well either way.

Salvation lies within, motherfuckers! Get to work, be consistent, and reap the rewards!

Today the hope for bettering a man’s sexual prospects in marriage is found primarily in Red Pill awareness. I would daresay that the Red Pill, Game and the manosphere have done more in improving men’s sexual access in marriage than contemporary marriage counseling for about 10 years now. That’s to be lauded I think, but it also has to come with the understanding that no man’s experience, no man’s situation with his wife/woman, is ever the same, nor is it ideal.

There is a set of Red Pill men (usually married) who also attempt to do everything right – according to Red Pill awareness and applied Game – and, as per this man’s story, the situation is such that it is still ‘not enough’.

These men become Red Pill aware, they unplug, they struggle to accept it while disenfranchising themselves from their Blue Pill conditioning. They put in the time for insight and soul-searching, they deal with the uncomfortable truths of what they’ve been all their lives. They deal with the anger that inspires and they come out on the other side and begin to remake themselves. They self-improve.

Roosh recently had some Dali Lama moment about how he believes self-improvement is some Zen preset channel for men, and they ought not worry about bettering themselves. I say bullshit. Self-improvement itself is a state of being. Once a man applies himself, invests more in himself than he ever has before, changes his mind about himself, he becomes hisown mental point of origin.

These men begin to see the results of their efforts, efforts often unbeknownst to his woman. She may witness the outward changes, but only he know the experience of his inward changes. Now he’s got to deal with new experiences that were previously foreign to him in his old, Blue Pill self-identity. Some are uncomfortable and require him to use judgement he’s never had to before. Others are temptations or opportunities he’s never had access to before.

All of what’s led to this transition required a lot of personal investment on his part, and by his Red Pill awareness he’s done everything right. This transformative experience becomes a kind of Relational Equity for him; equity he believes his wife, his ex, the old high school girl who ignored him, should have some appreciation for. Just like the old books men who believed that building themselves up in their careers or getting more in touch with their feminine sides would be the key to doing everything right, the Red Pill aware guy finds that it’s not him, it’s her.

This is part one of this series.

Tomassi, indignation is defined as “anger aroused by something unjust, unworthy, or mean.” When you dismiss women’s indignation, you sever our ability to turn to men for protection, provision, against the things that are unjust,unworthy,and mean. Worse,when you encourage men to exploit indignation as a means of sexual attraction, what you are basically implying is that men themselves are the thing that is “unjust,unworthy, and mean.” That is the exact same message feminists promote and I believe it is really harmful to us as a culture.

That is enough to diffuse it because it’s a touch point for more escalation.

In fact I’ve found agree and amplify doesn’t always work in diffusing the indignation because it leads to MORE indignation.

“He told me he was a virgin. He told me that 500 times. He said he’s never touched a girl before/been in a relationship. That everything was new to him.” Why did you post that? Who the hell cares or is not indifferent to that fact without back story. What is the point? Is him being a virgin good or bad. I cannot tell. If yes or no, what still is the fucking point of your story. I think you are disgruntled. But I don’t exactly know why. And what is your point in reference to the theme of this… Read more »

@insanitybytes22 Those same laws that force men to support women and children are also used against men who are trying their best to be good husbands and fathers. A man who does his best to meet all of his wife and children’s needs can lose them, because his wife just isn’t ‘feeling it’ any more. That’s fair enough, it’s a free country, but we incentivize broken families when we allow women to enjoy provisioning even after she has chosen to leave the union. (And if you want to talk about righteous indignation, there are even some jurisdictions in which the… Read more »

The ’57 SAAB dashboard wind up has been sitting around for decades. I couldn’t “whisper” it back to functioning a couple of days ago and set it aside. I just gave it another go and . . . nothin’. Not going to crack the case any time in the near future. So I put it down. A bit rougher than I had intended. A bit of a “crack” on contact. Wait! What’s that noise? Why, YES . . . it’s ticking.

False alarm I’ve read his posts. I’m not Softek’s gf. *sharp exhale of breath* But you gaming people are deceptive. If some girl found out you were plate spinning… that’s really destructive to her self esteem. I apologise, I have a really strong paranoia radar. I just don’t approve of all the games you play. I know you don’t care at all etc.

“Good guys” are ultimately going to observe this and end up on websites like this, trying to reverse engineer women’s emotions. If you don’t like Rollo’s advice, then point to something better” Jesus Christ is better. I’ll point to having a powerful relationship with Him as a far better choice then endlessly trying to game women. I hope that is not offensive. I mean Tomassi has his own charm, he is just not Jesus Christ. As to good guys trying to reverse engineer woman’s emotions so as to protect themselves from divorce rape, or improve their marriages, I could see… Read more »

Women get oneitis too fellas. Cos I’ve seen the pain the hypergamous mindset/?biology can cause. Like in my situation my dad is beta and gets shit tested by my mum all the time (e.g. her enjoying it when it physically pains my dad when my mum compares him to some ‘alpha’ in her past). I understand what it’s like. I’ve intro’d him to RP and he’s slowly gaining more awareness and getting empowered.

“Jesus Christ is better. I’ll point to having a powerful relationship with Him as a far better choice . . .”

-Insanity Bytes Me

“That woman is by nature intended to obey is shown by the fact that every woman who is placed in the unnatural position of absolute independence at once attaches herself to some kind of man, by whom she is controlled and governed; this is because she requires a master. If she, is young, the man is a lover; if she is old, a priest.”

-On Women; Arthur Schopenhauer.

@IB: Jesus Christ is better. I agree. You want to wank at a guy’s suffering. Go ahead. Whip him silly, put a crown of thorns on his bleeding head, slap him, spit on him, hang him on a piece of wood, nail him on it, spear his “side”. Then listen to him say in the most heavenly voice “Father forgive her, for she knows not what she does.” And the only reason you don’t break his legs is because he is dead already anyway! You killed the nice guy. And you will kill the next one up. One is not… Read more »

Thanks A. I respect that. You are one in a million. Very few people can say such a thing when it needs to be said.

I am a Christian, and I too have no idea what I am talking about. Hahahaaaaa…

But going by what we can glean from scripture, Jesus was male. And all his twelve disciples were male.

Those who believe in that kind of stuff insist that He is supposed to come back as a King. Not a Queen.

Dear Cheupez, thank you for being calm. I feel like a lot of these guys on PUA forums don’t know how to do that 🙁

I am actually one of the more volatile ones in here. Most guys on TRM are pretty level headed. I think TRM is not really a PUA forum, it is more like a men’s locker room. I believe most guys are here to explore what the nuts and bolts of inter-gender interactions are. Not to learn how to get laid. My impression has been that even the guys in here who have been getting laid have no idea why. and they wanna know.

Hey, this is unrelated but I don’t think Elliot Rodger would’ve been aided by this blog or other PUA literature. He should’ve gone to one of Adyashanti’s talks (I’m not a promoter) and practiced Self-Enquiry. For more information: look him up on the ROTK forum or Google ‘Adyashanti’.

Elliot did not even need to get into this blog. He only needed to read a few pages of the first book, “The Rational Male”. It takes a very tiny spark from such stuff to ignite the energy it takes to transform such a fella into a pretty solid dude.

I will look up Adyashanti. But I am a very cynical sceptic, so I will not promise you that I will not be quite pissed off at any bullshit from them…and yelling at them to shove it up.

Adyashanti seems to be a good man, that’s why I like listening to him. He’s supposedly enlightened too! 🙂

‘Heheheeeee…why are you loling at that.?’

The fact that they don’t know, mirrors why I don’t know why I fell for this dude irl who is so steeped in PUA strategy lol. He’s not even a human anymore.
