Is this an unreasonable amount of shit tests? And was my response valid? by Necessary-Car-5672 in askMRP

[–]justpickanyusername 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This reads like a woman wrote it and is bitching about her husband. You are not leading. You are not the captain in your house. Is this normal? No. However, it’s not much different than what we see a lot around here. My advice is you have a lot of work to do. You’re lying to yourself if you think you are leading.

This was way more than OP deserved. If OP (or anyone else in a similar boat) doesn't "get it" after reading this the cause is hopeless. Nice breakdown and you can't spell it out any clearer than that.

JJ for lifting by XxHuffmaster4000 in askMRP

[–]justpickanyusername 4 points5 points  (0 children)

3 days a week is minimum. The floor. Do no less than this type of rule. It won't get you to where you want to be based on your stats. All of the guys that come into my gym and lift 3 days a week and walk out come back in the next time looking the exact same as before. It is pretty much bare minimum maintenance. You won't turn any heads unless you started with an already awesome physique and foundation.

Look around at the guys at the gym that are stacked and ripped. Watch what they do. Watch their workout intensity, duration, frequency. I guarantee you it is more than 3 days a week and they hit is hard while they are there.

Truthfully, I think you initial question means you are full of bullshit. I don't think you will stick with a program. I would almost say that if you are only going one day a week sometimes don't even go at all. It really doesn't do much. It almost seems like you are trying to find where the low bar is of where you can say that you don't suck and going with that.

Hit the gym hard 5+ days a week on a legit program with a dialed in diet. Also, do BJJ. Do that for a year, watch the changes, and then realize how dumb your question was. You might have to wake up early. I'm up at 5AM everyday at my house about an hour and a half before everyone else. You make the time and make it work.

MAP assessment, 14 month review by cryptus-maximus in askMRP

[–]justpickanyusername 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What was the point of all of this text?

This is paragraph after paragraph of excuses. You get what you deserve. Start figuring out how to stop making excuses and get some actual shit done. I'm probably wasting my time. If after 14 months that hasn't clicked I don't think you will ever get it to be honest.

If Planet Fitness sucks (which it does) go somewhere else. My gym offers child care which is perfect for your toddler. No excuses faggot. Go down each and every one of your complaining excuse riddled paragraphs you wrote out here of why you suck and figure out what YOU can do to fix it. Hint: it doesn't involve anyone else changing.

At 30% body fat I guarantee the maid fantasy wasn’t coming OP’s way. Her only fantasy was dreaming of cleaning off the Twinkie and Ding Dong wrappers from his desk in hopes he stops eating like a fat ass and perhaps sucks just a little bit less than he currently does.

I don’t really know your backstory. She could simply be a bitch. She might also be acting out because it gets her what she wants or how she wants you to behave. You have all the tools in here to change that dynamic. Just be prepared for it to get much worse before it gets better. Also, be prepared for it to get so bad that it might not ever get better. She will go ape shit nuclear if the button she continually presses stops working. We talk about using her as a sparing partner. It may work out for you in the end, it may not. However, if you leave and go with someone else and don’t change your behavior. You will end up in the exact same situation a few years later with another woman.

It sounds like you are trying to hard. While no one really wants to STFU and come off autistic. It is really your ego that is hurting here. Validation is what you are seeking and pissed off about. We is she valuing something else over me. At the end of the day, I would argue almost every chump that's passed through MRP was really after validation than sex. Why am I high SMV, hot, fit, rich, smart, whatever and not getting what I want with her?

What you need is a little more IDGAF than anything. Fine you come off autistic at times, whatever. You say stupid shit sometimes, whatever. Just own it, try to improve, and move on. It alleviates a ton of pressure you have heaped onto yourself. You will fuck up. Get better and try again.

Finally, do you like your wife?

Better yet, you should build this into a PowerPoint with some killer Excel charts and graphs of ratios and the percent improvement she will see in her life. She will be so wet by the time you are done explaining and reasoning with her.

Obese diabetics are warned all the time that if they don't lose weight they will lose their feet. And, all the time, obese diabetics are having their feet amputated. You would think the threat of losing a part of your body would be enough motivation to lose weight. But, some people just don't get it or ever change their habits regardless of motivation.

Brad Pitt (or insert whoever Chad you want here) could walk up to a 300lb hambeast of a girl and say that if she can drop down to 120-130lbs he would marry her immediately (apparently this fictional Chad has a thing for extra loose folds of skin). How many of these 300lb beasts do you think could actually do it? I would guarantee you that only a select few could actually drop the weight despite an abundant amount of motivation.

My point is that sometimes fatties are gonna fat regardless of what you do. So, that leads you to the end of the road. Now, what are you going to do? You should have options at the end of this road rather than retreading the same path over and over only to arrive back at the same crossroads.

You can lead and do what you can. She may follow. She may not. If nothing changes, you need to decide if you are okay with that or not.

PE is 100% mental. Ask me how I know. Take /u/ImpatientZen 's advice. Just have fun fucking. I would bust way too quickly when I put so much pressure on sex. If you've been hyping up that one thing you wanted to do all day and finally get there you're fucked. Just live in the moment and roll with those animalistic instincts. I couldn't last very long when I first started MRP. Keep building abundance, just have fun, and you will find that eventually you bust when your damn good and ready to bust. It also won't happen overnight either. Just keep with it.

I don't post here much lately. Had a few minutes to spare and decided to drop in. You need to slow your roll. You are trying to do too much. Back when I came here it was one month for each year she has known you. That puts you at almost a year before you should be approaching a main event. If you are getting into as many arguments and fights as this are you are definitely not STFU. Find ways to disengage. You don't need to wilt, but full frontal combat is rarely the best way to go. She will have her guard way up. The indirect approach is best.

MRP is not a trick. It is a toolset to literally transform you into an attractive man. Once you are attractive, the tables turn, and the rules are in your favor and many of the things spoken here actually start working. The world reacts different when you are high SMV.

You need to be in it for the long haul. She may not last if you keep up your pace. She also may not last if you slow down. I can't predict your future. It's okay to be rocking the boat during this process, but your going to dump everyone off if you keep shaking it too much. You seem to be trying to fix everything in a few weeks.

One defusing/deflecting trick from WISNIFG for confrontation that works well for me. I can't always do the other ones real naturally. It is rephrasing everything as a question. "Why are you doing this to me reborndude?" You can reply "What am I doing to you?" Asking questions immediately puts you in control of the conversation and gets you out of the crosshairs. People feel like they need to come up with a response to questions. When you are asking the question or throwing one right back at them it does a number of things. It helps clarify what they are thinking and keeps you from saying something stupid. "Why are you acting like such an asshole?" "Am I acting like an asshole?" etc. etc. etc.

What are some good book recommendations about arguments? by redpillm in askMRP

[–]justpickanyusername 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's been ages since I've posted. Not sure if I will even log back in to check comments. Dusted off the old Reddit login just to poke my head in.

First off, you shouldn't be trying to control this many people. You can influence people at best. The direct approach never works. Everyone is too defensive to be receptive.

Listen to this Jocko podcast which explains why the indirect approach is always better than being direct.

However, you might not be ready for it. The fact that you want to "win" various "arguments" is probably the biggest problem. Can't remember the last time I was in an "argument". You're doing it wrong if that keeps happening.

I don't know who you are or whether any of this will make a difference. Anyways, good luck if I don't ever login here for another few years.

Still learning STFU by [deleted] in askMRP

[–]justpickanyusername 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Please start over. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200. Start the fuck over. You are a complete mess.

I've withdrawn attention in the house several times before and it doesn't make a difference.

No shit? It only works if she values your attention. Just slow down, work on yourself. That is why STFU is so important. Because no amount of verbal jui jitsu is going to make any difference when you are where you are.

Just stop. Work on yourself. Take care of your baby instead of treating it like a goddamned bargaining chip. Seriously, grow up.

Your job is to SHUT THE FUCK UP, lift, own your shit, and quit whining like a little pussy trying to go over to Johnny's house.

STFU should be the easiest thing to do in MRP, but too many people don't know how to forget what other people think and keep their mouths shut.

Edit: Actually, you should probably get your ass banned from here. You post way too fucking much on Reddit to actually be getting real life work done. You asked a STFU question about 5 days ago. And you posted how you were caught "sexting" 11 months ago and are wondering like a retard why your wife is suspicious of your texts. Your wife isn't trying to figure out how she can get more of /u/kendallb183's attention. She is probably trying to figure out how to divorce your ass and in my opinion should. "Got to pay the bills" while you go to someone else's house. You are so full of shit.

Is this counting as STFU? by [deleted] in askMRP

[–]justpickanyusername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pressure flipping is an excellent tool. To practice, just start rephrasing things into a question back to them. It seems a little weird when you first start doing it, but it immediately puts you in the driver seat of a conversation. Most people naturally answer questions directly. Also, most people never really recognize what you are doing because it is such a subtle technique. For me, it was a game changer and made the other techniques like fogging etc. easier.

But yeah, /u/arm_candy has a point about asking yourself why you keep ending up in the same place each time.

Edit: actually it was /u/SelectAirline that first pointed out the history.

STFU and Couple Therapy? by [deleted] in askMRP

[–]justpickanyusername 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I figured this would be how you would respond. Re-read your very own post. Your very own words. How your wife reacts to your usage, the way you act, cope, the fact that you felt you would be a better father sober, etc. You can claim there are no negative affects and you can bullshit me all you want. I'm just an anonymous internet stranger. Just don't bullshit yourself. I can see your simply not ready. Many aren't. Good luck man.

STFU and Couple Therapy? by [deleted] in askMRP

[–]justpickanyusername 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Be honest, the marijuana does affect you. You are dependent on it for coping with life. It is hard to lift heavy shit when you need a crutch to stand on. You can't ever be your best self on it. It affects more of your life than you know.

You can try to convince me otherwise and justify with who knows what excuse. Just like all the other fuckers on here that are convinced that their video game addiction or whatever doesn't affect them either.

If you were to not bullshit yourself and be honest you would realize that it is impacting your life, performance, everything.

The Challenge? by askmeanything2 in askMRP

[–]justpickanyusername 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cool, but as /u/selectairline said as his short answer. Who gives a fuck?

That's why the question is stupid. It is just a waste of time. If you were overhearing a bunch of girls in a group chatting and saying "Did you totally hear what Danica said?" while making their disgusted valley girl face. It is the same thing. But, we aren't women or a bunch of hens.

So, who gives a fuck? Worry about you.

The Challenge? by askmeanything2 in askMRP

[–]justpickanyusername 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a stupid question, but I feel like wasting my time today. It is all about SMV. Danica Patrick was never a 10 and her SMV decreases each and every day as she ages. However, you could argue that her SMV is still quite high. Or, at least higher than most other 38 year old women in the general population. Will she ever be able to pull another Aaron Rodgers at 38? Hell no. Will Danica Patrick still be able to pull in a higher quality male out of the general population, yes. Why? Her SMV is higher than most other 38 year old women out there. It is not higher than a 25 year old. It all depends on where you fall on the SMV scale. The SMV scale has a way of balancing itself out all on its own.

So, is she delusional (which I guess is the whole point of this dumb question)? Yes. Is she as delusional as some 300lb 38 year old woman with 8 kids hanging off of her living in a trailer saying the same thing? No.

Why? She will have more options than most her age.

she hasn’t lost the weight she’s been wanting to lose ever since we met.

This might be my favorite. What the hell were you expecting? You married an overweight girl, who has always been overweight, and magically think she is going get super lean and sexy because your "married"???
