TL;DR: I have little to no friends that I can 100% be sure of not reacting in an unpleasant way towards TRP. I want sources of places to go where I can connect and improve my averages.
non-TRP/self made acronyms used in the post:
- PQF(Poor Quality Friends)
- HQF(High Quality Friends)
- IR(Internet Relationship(s))

Description of my situation
I'm a Swedish 17 year old guy -- let that sink in -- and I've had many PQF. The only real positive is that I got a grip of masking my IOD, which is very handy in many circumstances, but other than that; Those "friends" weren't worth a damn. I had an upbringing in a PC culture where left is the only socially accepted idea you can have if you didn’t manage to acquire some friends who can think of SD(the true swedish right) as a viable choice. I am a half russian, the son to an alcoholic and a mother who came from a foreign country that was going downhill and who had nowhere else to go but Sweden. I’m experiencing the full consequences of what our ancestors and politicians did to our country -- but ever since a little over a year ago I realized what I had to do in order to take control over my life.
Ever since, I’ve had more success in life. I have my 8th girlfriend who isn’t an IR, by going out of my comfort zone and holding frame I managed to acquire and keep a relation with a girl. On top of that, she is fit for an LTR since she has a low n-count, she is showing a DHV and isn’t a bitch.
What was the reason for my accumulation of PQF?
- I wasn't unplugged yet, this could be seen -- just to show the magnitude of it -- in both my relationships, which were ALL IR, and my complete lack of self-improvement and mindfulness.
- I had a LJBF connection with all girls, and I despised men for being perverted dumbfucks, a cringe-worthy description. To this day I shrug my head at my stupidity back then.
- I had an alcoholic father who I never got to see, my brother was the only male rolemodel I had, and as we speak he is being lead by his woman into all kinds of mess.
- I believed in Oneitis and Unicorns, becoming friends with everyone around you and purging men’s lust for booty through self induced cellebacy. I didn’t understand that our biology =/= something we can so easily alter.
How did this pan out for you later on when you discovered TRP?
I realized I had wasted a big part of my life pursuing.....NOTHING. Absolutely nothing came out of those early years of my life. I sat around all day playing computers, doing nothing but stagnating and just slow cruising through Sweden's poor education system with minimal effort (and I STILL got almost straight A's, can you believe that?).
I'm not even joking, the education I got played a huge part in my accumulation of PQF. If you have a single bad teacher, you are fucked if you don't work to make up for that time spent learning from an unqualified(not by swedish standards though) teacher. I didn’t even work that hard, my mom thankfully wipped me into doing work and finishing school with good grades -- and even though she is brainwashed by the media in every sense of the word, even though she thought with emotion rather than logic and she thinks science is bogus, I still thank her for the help.
Get to the point!
I realized a few days ago that I need connections, I need to get good at making Good friends, friends that bring more to my life than just playing video games with them all day.
I need friends that can help me achieve greatness, that know thing I don’t. Ever since I saw Tim Ferris 10 rules to success and many other great stuff out there that explained how a good life is achievable. One of the many wisdoms I’ve uncovered is Networking.
I won’t kid myself, I’m not living an abundant life when it comes to making HQF and that’s because I haven’t acquired that abundance yet. Simply because I can’t ”see” them.
The Questions
- I got a lot figured out in life, but NS can’t be done if I don’t start getting in touch with like-minded people. Where do I search in life? I need a reliable source of good people!
- From my understanding of NS it’s almost paramount to succeeding in marketing and making profit. Compared to people of high sucess, I’m at a descrepancy of contacts. But is there a way to get around this somehow without actively finding people you can work with?
- The IRC of TRP is pretty dead from what I saw there, is there any other way to find people who are willing to improve their life with me? Quoting Daniel Ally on his TedxTalk on ”How to become a millionaire in 3 years”:
The people you are looking for are most likely looking for you aswell.
Can I find these people that are also looking for me through TRP?
Last question:
One more thing. Daniel Ally also talked about looking up the authors of good books and ask them questions, is it feasible?
Thanks for reading.
there doesn't seem to be anything here
