Your personal iron rules

[Reykhel]

You know, it's okay reading a book and reading somebody's personal list of iron rule.......but we are all fvcking different....

....yes I am referring to the rational male, and in my opinion if you follow it like the it's the be all and end all, you are an idiot....

.....that's just my opinion. I bought the book and I bought it for someone close to me. However, there's a lot that I think are bull****, but that's okay it just means I'm thinking for my self. or does it mean that I am still blue pill and am rejecting the book? See how the mind and perspective works?

Fsck it.

what would your iron rules be? you know, if you could lay down the rules, (which you can) what the fvck would you say?

This thread is dedicated to all the threads that are there right now, asking permission.....you know who you are....

 

[Reykhel]

Example: I suppose it's like a personal boundary....

NO matter what happens, I will exercise 6 days per week. No matter what happens. it's a fvcking given. nothing can change it.
it's locked down.

 

[Reykhel]

I look at the "totality of the circumstances." Any "rule" I've had in the past has since been broken at one point or another as I mature, adapt, and/or compromise.

My iron rule yet to be broken is demanding a prenup.

You're a poster I respect. But I don't think you've grasped what I mean.

 

[Reykhel]

A clue: it's just too many of the respected posters refer to this book.......
Fsck off and give me your own rules.......

 

[Reykhel]

What did you mean lol. Rules about what.

That book is a sociology book, not a self-help book. There's nothing to follow.

Sometimes I feel Like I'm speaking in the dark.....

He clearly states his iron rules...................and clearly, if you have eyes, you can see on this webs¡the that there is a million followers....
if you can't see my point you are a blind ****le

 

[Bible_Belt]

I don't mind drunks, potheads, or maybe even some occasional psychedelics. Beyond that, I am a big snob about drugs. I hate pillheads, cokeheads, tweakers, people who snort anything, and people who stick needles in themselves for fun.

1. Vacuity is the basis of existence.
2. Life is a power struggle.
3. Men are more powerful in gang-like groups.
4. Women are women.

These four points are all you really need to navigate through life with a modicum of awareness and success.

1. Vacuity is the basis of existence.

As you come to a deeper understanding of this, your "inner-game" grows exponientally. And I'm not even talking about inner-game related to women, I'm talking about your general confidence, self-steem, boldness, serenity... This is the basis for me, and I'm making it my 1# goal to become fully awakaned to the vacuity of existence.

2. Life is a power struggle.

When you grasp the notion that living organism are constantly looking for ways to increase their raw power, or ways to not lose it, you decide to fight your way to the top, never stopping. Why would you stop anyhow? There is not much else to do in the time you have left, you better accept reality for what it is and start doing whatever it takes to become as powerful as you can be. This will set you on the route of self-improvement, making you gain better friends, women, wealth, health, you name it.

3. Men are more powerful in gang-like groups.

As you study humanity and it's social structures, you see how men are the happiest and most functional in gang-like arrangements. This is why finding like-minded males is capital for your well-being, happinnes, and resource gathering. This will make you a social person, tremendously increasing your connections and your opportunities to have opportunities to gain more power, and to meet women. You should make a clear distinction between your gang and the rest of the world though, not everybody is your friend, even if you are in social gatherings. Be loyal only to those that deserve it.

4. Women are women.

Yes, sometimes I still long for that fabled deep emotional connection I thought I had with my first serious partner. Is not even passed a year since that relationship died, but each passing day...I'm freer and freer from this. I only see women as what they are, women. They provide sex, divertimento, care and support for the right man. The moment you assign them something more...you are fvcked.


I'm happy to see you back Reykhel.

The "are you having an episode" made me nearly choke on my porridge jajajajjajaajajaj

To tell you the truth, I was just personally thinking of a few things in my life that I want to make my
iron rules (more to do with lifestyle.) For example, no matter what happens in my life.......I need to exercise
six days per week. Nothing to do with ascetics or anything like that, it's simply something that keeps me grounded
and has an overall positive effect on my life.......

It's nothing really to do with Rollo's book really......it's just when I was thinking that there's absolutely some certain things that
I need to incorporate into my life and make them "non negotiable", I was thinking yes they are my iron rules...........

The only iron rules any guy should have belong at the gym. And there need be only two. Work hard and stop fvcking around.

You know what? This is exactly what sparked this thread............the last two weeks of August I was on holiday and I didn't maintain my
fitness........there was a lot of late nights, a lot of alcohol etc and I really fell out of my routine.....

After the two weeks, instead of feeling rejuvenated I felt lethargic and worse, when I got back to the gym I felt I'd lost my cardio.......Felt completely out of of breath........

So for me, I reflected and came to the conclusion that, even if the bottom falls out of the world.......there are certain "rituals" or "habits" that I need to continue doing, in order to feel that overall sense feeling grounded...

Exercise is one.........sucked to feel out of breath....
Meditation is another........

1. LOOK good, BE great.
This way people see a glimpse of your potential and are intrigued with you by it, but are in complete awe when they see your true capabilities.

2. Fitness is for life.
You can study, get new jobs, a new car, etc. But all of those things will not remain forever. The only thing that can directly affect HOW you are is your fitness level. I strive to become the best and achieve the highest level of fitness.

3. Do not be weak.
There was a time period where I was constantly talking to my dad about men and our strength and our toughness and whatnot. He kept on telling me that men need to be strong and tough. One night I had a dream, and I remember my dad telling me this in that dream: "The man needs to be strong. The man needs to be tough. The man needs to be able to withstand pain without letting it hurt him." It summarized the entire point he was trying to get across to me (English is not his first language so it's hard for us to understand what he is saying sometimes). That last part struck me especially. It was because I realized that when you are not strong enough or tough enough to deal with a situation, you keep moving forward. It can mentally and physically pain you whatever the stressor may be, but it does not HURT you, it does not AFFECT you. You persevere. You as a man cannot be broken. You may even bend a little bit. But, YOU WILL NOT BREAK.

Those are the 3 rules that I have set for myself. The third one is the most important to me. Were it not for that one I would not have been able to follow the other 2 rules.

[Who Dares Win]

Could anybody shows those iron rules that OP talks about?

I know the rational male but didnt really red it deeply.

Personally I dont have "iron rules" more a certain attitude toward a situation while still keeping myself flexible.

 

[resilient]

@Who Dares Win good question and relevant for the sake of discussion in this thread, I didn't find a complete list, but I did find a category tag in Rollo's blog for "iron rules."

 

[Poon King]

Are you talking about rules for life or rules for dating?

I have two main life rules:

• Commit to no cause but my own.
• Always act rationally in an irrational world

All it takes to win the game is to act rationally in an irrational market and not allow other people to BS you into doing sh!t that doesn't benefit you. If you diversify your investments (time, energy, money) and stop drinking the blue pill Kool-Aide, you will do ok.

Everything else falls in line with those rules. This doesn't mean being a self-centered pr!ck 24/7 or being a cold hearted a*shole. All it means is my values, my goals and my well-being always come first. If you can't take care of yourself.. you can't take care of anyone else. Since people primarily care about what you can do for them.. the more you can do for YOURSELF the more you can do for others. Therefore, if doing right by someone else means screwing myself.. then I will not do right by that person.

I agree with this, although you could've said it more succinctly: be true to yourself.

I think a lot of pain can be avoided in life if you stick to the above ^
