Need to be perma-redpilled.

[Jaxus]

They say once you take the red pill, there’s no going back.

I’ve been in the game for a while. Grew up in it. Was molded by it. Became it. I can detect & dissect hyperspecific nuances & minutiae few can see, and recognize advanced patterns & dynamics only the most apt would have insight to. Still, I find myself softening up somewhat after a healthy hiatus. It’s not good, because it’s not who I am. The question is, why does it keep happening?

Rust is one thing, but is that really what this is? Call it compassion, but conventions calls for a bit of beta to sprinkle on lest she leave. I don’t dig it, but on some level, you gotta have some give with women when in relationships. I’m finding that even outside of this, though, that I almost don’t see the red pill reality as well as I used to. It’s not that I don’t have it—thankfully I do—but it requires deliberate effort when it once was second nature. I almost need to hold myself from falling into blue pill weakness again: An undignified existence.

Means you really like the girl and it is actually healthy that you want to do more stuff for your gf / wife, as long as she reciprocates or does even more

The effect a woman has on you is a very, very powerful instinct.

Humanity wouldn't have survived if men weren't easily seduced by just the idea of being with a woman.

Losing your edge is essentially the same as falling off the wagon of a healthy diet.

No matter how much you diet and exercise and keep yourself in shape, junk food (or whatever) will always taste good and will always be tempting.

Your desire for a "perma-red-pill" is akin to the idea that once you get into shape with a healthy diet, you'll never need to worry about food temptation again.

A fantasy idea that will never be true.

That’s not what I’m referring to. Check out this video:

I caught myself almost buying into the BS of this woman, whereas there were times I’d previously see right through it. The comments and quote tweets all call it out, thankfully, but I can’t stand the mere fact that I could even smile at something like this with any earnest.

See above reply.

Now I ask how to keep that edge, and continually sharpen it more and more (rather than stay stagnant).

don’t see the red pill reality

red pill isn't a "reality."

it's a collection of opinions and strategies that work for some people.

On the Contrary bro, humanity was most successful and prosperous when Men had balls and didn't seem to worship the ground women walked on. Look at the 1950s, 40s or the years before those ages when dudes knew how to be dudes in the freakin patriarchy. Rome fell because of its perversion and Atilla the Hun was a noble dude who took advantage of this, the same is pretty much happening to the West unfortunately with all its woky trends unfortunately. Any place were evil prevails is having the wrong definition of fun and fulfilling pleasure, fulfillment's main engine is ultimately spiritual, based on delayed gratification and inner peace where the most simple things like bashing a pinata at a kid's birthday party is enough. The truth of the matter is having more women in your life will not make you content but the answer lies in internal validation and a few lifestyle changes, Men do not need women, it's the women who seeks the Men ultimately throughout history.

The same actions can be done by a simp and a Dom, it's the mindset behind it that's important. If treating a woman well feels like you're giving something up then you're coming from lack. On some level you don't believe she is up to your standards or perhaps you lack confidence in your ability to provide. It's simply a feedback of incompatibility.

Ideally you work on all facets of your life until your cup runneth over and you're happy to share with someone worthwhile. It should feel exciting to engage with your woman and treat her, not transactional or like sunk costs.

If a woman excites you great, talk to her and see how many boxes she checks. If she checks all of them then pursue, just don't get attached to outcomes and don't compromise your principles. Either she'll reciprocate and the relationship deepens or she leaves and you get valuable feedback that only brings you closer to someone compatible, win win.

Find out who you really are and what you really want, until you become a force of nature and nothing a woman does undermines your sense of self. As a result you won't have to think out macho vs simp actions, the answers will come naturally, they'll be no-brainers.

Molly said that it's all a matter of choice and getting a prenup is very important.

I’m not talking so much about relationships as I am my daily life. That higher level of awareness where you see all the moving parts as they’re happening and where they’re going, where you can instantly read people just from the first few words that come out of their mouths or sooner—that is what I refer to. I can still deconstruct just about everyone and everything, and admittedly better than in years prior, but it requires effort, whereas I needed none before.

But then again, maybe it just seems that way. God Knows best.

Short answer:

Red Pill Theory, for all it's admirable traits and good intentions, is ultimately another proposed quick fix. There's no method on this Earth that can prevent a fella from occasionally wussing out/sometimes not being as a courageous and decisive as he perhaps could've been

Same way women with an encyclopedic knowledge of Intersectionalist Theory still remain vulnerable to charming f-ck boys, who happen to be pasty-complexioned fellas of Western European ancestry Aka. The Ultimate Oppressors, at least if one buys the tenets Intersectionality, hook, line, and stinker

I disagree.
If a woman "instinctively" has an effect on a man, and you can say so because you've certainly experienced it, it means that women ultimately serve a purpose... in men's lives.

What should instead be a commandment to be read every day is that today's relationships that see men and women together until death aren't natural, and are cultural, but they're too forced and ultimately create disruptions and health problems. (There are rare exceptions where two people find each other, respect, and grow together, and then it might last for them.)

The point is that if you've been with a woman for 5 or 10 years without problems, and you've had your children, it's important to both have the balls to say it's over if there are problems. Not to continue.

Humans don't like to lose their investment, even if that investment is causing them to fail; in fact, they'd double their bet or go all-in.

So whoever has a healthy relationship with failure will be in a better position.

Lol haha this where I totally would be advertising Polygamy and multiple wives right now. The truth of the matter is, you just need a break from your wife and separation and moderation and delayed gratification/discipline is key to any relationship. I would totally agree with George Bruno right now, maybe buy a separate apartment or living quarters but still keep the relationship intact and get together for a romantic meeting after you haven't seen each other for a few weeks or months just to keep things fresh.
