Last week I introduced a new concept in what most men can expect at some point in their lives. This is the idea of being Zeroed Out – basically men having most of a lifetime of status, financial equity, reputation, professional & educational growth, emotional investment and other metrics of men’s life equity being erased. I wanted to detail this a bit more here now as I think much of this concept gets easily misconstrued for men.
I think it ought to be part of any Red Pill aware man’s understanding that at many points in our lives we will be confronted with the prospects of having to rebuild ourselves. Failure, rejection and disappointment will happen for you, that’s just part of a man’s life, and it’s easy to rattle off platitudes about how many times you get back up being the measure of a man. But what I’m saying is there will be times when total reconstruction of your life will be a necessity.
You will be zeroed out at some point, and how you handle this is a much different situation than any temporary setback. This zeroing out is made all the more difficult when you confront the fact that what you believed to be so valuable, the equity you were told was what others would measure you by, was all part of your Blue Pill conditioning. At that point you need to understand that there is most definitely a hope for a better remake of yourself based on truths that were learned in the hardest way.
As I mentioned last week, it’s really easy to think of this as male victimhood or that a guy is complaining about his lot in life. Empathy, especially amongst men, has always been in short supply. I’ve learned the hard way never to bring up how sick I am, how bad my job is or how little sleep I got the night before in the company of 3 or more men – because I guarantee you that one has cancer, the other works in raw sewage and the last one’s an incurable insomniac. As men, our masculinity has classically been about how well we accept and adapt to adversity, so like I said, just mentioning a guy would be Zeroed Out at some stage in his life sounds like I’m saying “menz gots it so tough”. We’re supposed to take it on the chin and come back for more.
Guys will even get competitive with each other about how hard they’ve had it and how well they adapted to a bad situation. Others just don’t want to hear about another guy’s misfortunes, and others still will just say that men are living their lives wrong if a he bases his sense of self on the opinions of others – and women in particular.
The first two are simple to address. Men are in a general state of competition with each other even if this is only ever recognized as something going on in the social background. It doesn’t necessarily have to be vicious competition; even friendly rivalries are still rivalries.
It stands to reason that men will certainly be sympathetic with one another depending on circumstance, but that competitive nature is still something winners and losers instinctually understand. Out-group men will understand this state much more distinctly than in-group men (kin affiliation is an evolved survival adaptation), but even within that in-group there will still exist male dominance hierarchies. How those hierarchies are established is contextual to societal and environmental influences, but that they exist at all is often something our feminine-primary social order would like men to sweep under the carpet for themselves.
Qualifying Value
Competition is one thing, however, the idea that a man might base his life’s expectations, and his metric of success or failure, on external qualifiers is something I’d like to explore here. Social influences, family influences and men’s (often conditioned) subconscious understanding of how he can best effect intimacy and reproduction with women according to what he perceives are their expectations of him is a point of contention. If men feel Zeroed Out at various points in life, is that ‘zeroing’ just the effect of a man having built his personal integrity and equity on a foundation of Blue Pill sand?
MGTOWs are invited to correct me here, but as I understand it, this is a primary tenet of men going their own way – a rejection of women’s qualifying men’s personal worth based on their Hypergamous standards. I get that, but I would argue that there’s more to a man’s sense of self-worth than any qualifier womankind might place on him.
It’s no secret that Red Pill aware men need to understand the Game that they’re a part of and should indeed reestimate their personal worth based on this cutting away of oneself from their prior Blue Pill deceptions. This is why I believe every man who unplugs himself from his old ideals is, by order of degree, going his own way, but where he decides to go with it and how he decides to create value in himself according his new understanding is what’s at issue. Even in creating and building a new sense of self-worth there is still the potential of men becoming subject to losing that value irrespective of how he believes it should be measured.
I can imagine that whether or not a divorced man is ‘woke’ and living by his own terms, losing custody of and influence in the lives of his children can be something of a zeroing out for him. There are aspects of what we hold as our own personal worth that can be zeroed out no matter by what metric we think we should be evaluating it by. As I’ve always said, a woman should only ever be a complement to a man’s life, never the focus of it, but regardless, we still have intrinsic value that can be erased and it doesn’t alter the fact that women, family, career peers, etc. will be affected by it.
That said, it’s just an easy cop out to just say “Well, what you thought should be valued by others really isn’t, and because you thought it was, when you lose it you lose everything.”
III. You shall make your mission, not your woman, your priority
Forget all those romantic cliches of the leading man proclaiming his undying love for the woman who completes him. Despite whatever protestations to the contrary, women do not want to be “The One” or the center of a man’s existence. They in fact want to subordinate themselves to a worthy man’s life purpose, to help him achieve that purpose with their feminine support, and to follow the path he lays out. You must respect a woman’s integrity and not lie to her that she is “your everything”. She is not your everything, and if she is, she will soon not be anymore.
This is the third commandment from Roissy’s 16 Commandments of Poon. It has relevance here because it’s illustrative of how a majority of men think about prioritizing what metric to build their personal equity on. As Red Pill aware men it’s too easy to get upset at plugged in men who are blind to some of the simplest Red Pill principles. It’s easy to lose sight of the fact that most men are still Blue Pill and will fight you just for suggesting they might be wrong about the reality they find themselves in. They need that comfort even if they fail to see it will potentially be their undoing.
More importantly, we need to remember that the suicide rates I quoted in last week’s essay are based on men who built their own personal value on what their Blue Pill conditioning embedded into their psyches for a lifetime. That’s what we’re up against, and until more men come to unplugging this sad fact will continue. This is the gravity we’re faced with as Red Pill aware men trying to help other guys unplug. It’s not just about how a guy can get himself laid better; it might be about saving his life.
As I was saying in the last post, my brother in-law killed himself because he was convinced for a lifetime that by sacrificing every ambition and ‘doing the right thing’ he would be appreciated for it all. The Blue Pill quite literally killed him. He was convinced that he couldn’t live without his ONEitis of whom he’d made the “center of his existence”. Remove that center and he ceased to exist. Tragically though, his was only one story that mirrored countless more men’s. We live in a very dangerous age for men. The Blue Pill is even more of a liability today than it was in times past, because we live in an era that encourages men going all-in in their life’s investment in that conditioning.
Seeing that men build their sense of self-worth on this false ideology is obvious. And yes, we should make ourselves our own Mental Point of Origin, but more important is realizing that our lives depend on Killing the Beta and discarding the idealistic hope that our personal equity ought to be measured by a Blue Pill metric. One reason I take umbrage with Purple Pill hack ‘life coaches’ is because this is the dangerous value system they can never let go of and encourage other men to readopt.
Men will find themselves Zeroed Out at various stages of their lives, but if those guys are still mired in a belief set that the Blue Pill has convinced him is the only legitimate way of valuing himself he’s positioned to become another suicide statistic. And the real tragedy is that its this false evaluation that will lead most men to it – all the while he hears ‘atta boys’ and positivity thinking mantras from others who really don’t know what else to say.

Mitch,
Women’s inhibitions decline as they get more and more aroused. The more they are degraded, the more SMV the man is perceived to have relative to the woman and women get more aroused. The more a man demands of a woman, the higher his SMV. The higher a man’s SMV, the higher a woman’s emotions spike. More inhibitions hit the wayside. This is a virtuous engine that continues as long as a man makes demands on a woman.
@Mitch Thanks. Women’s fear of duplicitous betas is not entirely bad for aware men. It just puts a premium on projecting a secure, comfortable vibe that indicates you “get it” and respect when “it’s on”. Women feel safer with a relaxed, authentically sexual guy than with a repressed creep who has a hidden agenda. I hate the subjectivity of the word “creep”. But women can sense when a guy is “off”, desperate, or socially unaware. That makes the ending of “Cat Person” so apt. Robert accepts rejection so gracefully that Margot regrets “she was being unfair to Robert, who really… Read more »

Ads, you’re not wrong about that. I think there’s something about the idea of a woman’s limbic arousal being equated with what she really wants that is being conflated.

Why should you have to re-articulate concepts that are part of the rule set you’ve been taught? Our very own mothers teach us these nonsense rules and blue pill men act accordingly. Be nice to the girl, be yourself and she is bound to like you. BP men don’t come out and articulate this stuff because the concepts themselves are part of what they have been taught from birth. You have identified your destructive… Read more »
@ If-I-Fell
Tavis is just the latest in a long line of liberal negroes to figure out how awesome due process is—now that it’s his turn to be burnt at the stake sans evidence.
Glad he’s fighting back—but he’s been a gynocentric drone for years now. Looks like his uppance has come.
Sentient “Hand, frame, MPoO, setting standards, enforcing standards. NALTALT [Not All Lion Tamers Are Like That]” That’s true. There is more than one theory in dog training too, several of which work really well, and probably a lot of what works for different handlers depends on their personality. But I do think that some methods are better than others, depending on what you want out of the relationship – with your dog, your lion, your woman. This idea of not ascribing whole-hog to one set of methods is just blue- pill buffering- and therefore should be dismissed – is just… Read more »
“The idea that human intersexual relations can and should be reduced down *only* to their most primal level”
Give me a man who understands the basics well, the rest is details.
You’re procrastinating being better by arguing.
It’s on
“Our very own mothers teach us these nonsense rules and blue pill men act accordingly”.
“IMHO it’s as bad as being molested.”
It may be worse, as it isn’t recognized as being wrong and could be the root of molestation.
Eh, Didn’t mean to come off as self righteous or jealous, man. Really. I haven’t read your history, and sounds like you’ve successfully turned around a dying marriage. If you and your wife are happy, then I’m very glad for you, and major props to you making that happen, because it cannot have been easy. I was just reacting – I do have a pretty deep revulsion to the idea of degrading other people, and it is interesting, for me at least, to explore ideas of what that is – or isn’t. Surely, much of it is in the eye… Read more »
Mitch’s Gravatar: purple box. Very appropriate.
Eh,
I’m not procrastinating being better. Thinking is something Men also do, and I find it is one of life’s great pleasures.

With an N #+25, you have surely met at least one woman that was hot to the bed, makeout, serious petting, dry humping till it hurts. Then she stops you, now you are thinking maybe I got the wrong read, all this is breaking my dick ,later babe. Then she drags you back in and the whole thing starts over again kissing,petting dry hump blue balls. Then she stops you again. Could it be that she needs to be dominated at this point? Why does she keep draging you back in?

BP men act rationally on the data they were given. They did not come up with that data on their own. It was given to them by the FI, usually in the form of their own mother.
They only got half the data though… Mommy didn’t tell them she was a slut before she met Daddy. The other half was observable and provable. They choose to believe the “safe” half. To defend it.
Mitch
The idea that human intersexual relations can and should be reduced down *only* to their most primal level is pretty narrow, and is simply untrue.
Not reduce down, flow from… either evo-bio/psych is real, or it’s not. either it’s “babies all the way down” or it’s not.
Choose.
“dying marriage“
Self righteous presumption. Fuck you.
How’s that for degrading gamma loser.

“Could it be that she needs to be dominated at this point? Why does she keep draging you back in?”
No argument. Male dominance, female submission is natural, fun, and not degrading in and of itself. At all. Never said that.
Eh,
Sorry man, I don’t know you. You’re right, im presuming, maybe even projecting. But shit, that’s just a teeny weeny taste of the presumption and projection I got here when talking about my life and relationship. No need to be a butthurt pussy about it tho..lol
Unlike you I’ve read your comments, history.
Look, has any one here given you props for hard work well done, incisive commentary?
Or gas it been essentially head-slapping and patient explanations of RP?
Picture yourself in a bar and a lone guy tells you your out of line. Are you? Maybe, maybe not.
Picture yourself in a bar and everyone is telling you your out of line. Are you?
@Sentient,
That is why I used the term “internalized” instead of “hear” with regard to getting the red pill. It isn’t until we internalize the truth that we start to correct things. Until that time, we are consumed with cognitive dissonance and we act irrationally until something gives.
@Yollo Comanche “women want to throw men in jail for talking to you.” I think most of the #metoo accused men indeed guilty creeps. The victims’ stories are generally quite consistent. Your hyperbole about “jail for just talking” is an unattractive beta overreaction that suggests you might fly off the handle if rejected in an intimate situation. That’s scary! If a target’s friends cockblock you, then she might have signaled them to “save her”. Or she might have failed to signal them to stay away. Focus on women who are interested, and avoid bars where women are so scarce that… Read more »
Eh,
Being a bar and out of line is a bad analogy. Refusing to make important decisions about my life in the way that other people – who don’t know me – think I should is not being out of line.
I mean if guys here only want to sit in an echo chamber, that’s cool. But that’s not my impression about most guys here.
If my commentary and questions are not interesting, they can be easily ignored.
“I sympathize with divorcing parents. But I detect a strong stench of victimhood and inordinate focus on the worst womens’ behavior from single men who have never experienced it.”
Ah, I’ll-take-the-high-road shit test.
@KL “I think most of the #metoo accused men indeed guilty creeps. The victims’ stories are generally quite consistent. Your hyperbole about “jail for just talking” is an unattractive beta overreaction that suggests you might fly off the handle if rejected in an intimate situation. That’s scary!” Yea so where have you been the last 3 years while I’ve been working my ass off to improve my life? Nowhere near enough for me to go looking for you that’s for sure. “I sympathize with divorcing parents. But I detect a strong stench of victimhood and inordinate focus on the worst… Read more »
“Your hyperbole about “jail for just talking” is an unattractive beta overreaction that suggests you might fly off the handle if rejected in an intimate situation. That’s scary!”
I see not one but two hyperboles in the above sentence:
1) jail for just talking to women; and
2) you might fly off the handle if rejected in an intimate situation
Hmmm….
““I sympathize with divorcing parents.”
That’s now a bold stance, insight?
Such courage.
Women do this routinely. make a vaguely unassailable virtue signal as cover for their half-witted pseudointellectual drivel.
Gents I have a Blue Pill buddy who is slowly starting to ask the right questions. He’s open to my Red Pill comments here and there, and is very successful in implementing and testing ideas he reads about in general. So I’m thinking of introducing him to Rollo’s book. The issue is… the first thing he’ll do is he’ll start sharing it with his wife. He does it with everything that makes him think and excites him. He wants to make his wife happy and he defaults to engaging her in everything he does, brainstorming and planning with her, sharing… Read more »
Is he sharing your ad hoc advice to her?
If so, he’s not ready.
I’ve lost family friends oversharing. I liked the beta guys and they enjoyed the convos, but as you mentioned, they blabbed. Alpha up can’t be half assed. That might get him killed.
My best results were with almost zeroed out men. They lost the least, gained the most from TRM.
If you want to keep him as friend, take it slow and be his go to sounding board. That’ll keep you two connected.
Good on you.

@IRL – I agree with your concerns (re security and talking about Fight Club), but one side point. Is Rollo’s book really the *first* thing to give to someone in his position? It’s great stuff but I worry it’s a little academic for someone who isn’t already emotionally sensitized to the content (like through a divorce or zeroing out). I personally learnt the basics of TRP on Heartiste – a much more lively setting – before coming to TRM to get a much better grip on what it actually meant. I wouldn’t recommend pointing your buddy at Heartiste (it’s not… Read more »
Yeah 2011 Primer is good intro. Covers all the concepts and dynamics but leaves out the politics of Heartiste and the depth of Rollo. Which can be dark to a newb.

The moment you tell your wife, your girlfriend, that you will exchange a behavior or attitude or belief or any other compromise for her desire you fundamentally change her organic desire into obligation. What she wants, what her hypergamy wants confirmation of, can never be explicated, it can only be demonstrated. If her desire is for you to be more dominant, her telling you to be so negates the genuineness and the validity of your becoming… Read more »
