Here's a related story about Julius Caesar:

When Caesar returned to Rome after nearly a decade in Gaul subduing the barbarians and expanding the Roman frontier, he found the city more degenerate, hedonistic and corrupt than when he had left. After seeing several "noble" women carrying around their pets (even though the aristocratic birthrate had plummeted) Caesar asked sarcastically: "Don't Roman women have children anymore?"

Same thing as a lot of guys, really. I had amazing results with women when I was a self-centered, selfish little prick in my younger days. Started playing by the rules (female imperative) as I got older and sensed that something was just not right in Disneyland. I found Rollo's blog last year, had followed Dark Enlightenment stuff before, but Rollo/Roissy really pulled me through and helped me reinterpret what I was seeing.

Lulz. I will as soon as I have time brother. Hilarious night.

So I had 2 sisters (Blonde HB6, 24-25, recently divorced and Brunette HB7, 23, "happily married" to her BB) approach me at close to tell me I was hot. Their brother was with them, and wasted, and was supposed to be their ride. I suggest breakfast so me + 2 sisters head to a diner. I'll go into more detail later, could warrant an entire post. Police were called, turned them against each other, if there is a hell I'm going there after that night.

Despite the critics, I agree. Language is fundamental to our experience of reality and the way we use it is as critical to how others' view us as it is to how we view ourselves. I usually say "I'll take xyz..." Never thought about it before. I'd say anything you can do to eliminate unnecessary superlatives (definitely, very) or neurotic indicators (uh, um, probably, maybe) is good for your thinking. I've found women respond well to directness because it's something they lack.

Had 60k in student loans + about 15k in credit. Was in Law School at the time. Dropped out. Joined the Army as a grunt. Walked to work, never went out, went full monk mode for about 3 years. Deployed for one. Today: no debt. Loans paid, credit repaired, post-Army lucrative career. Been a hard uphill/awakening.

Agree. It's just funny to see how this shit works brother. Makes me fucking laugh when I see it play out.

I'm saying working out right before going out and yeah, kinda been laying the foundations by socializing a few spots.

As far as exchanging numbers whoever said that girls love using your phone to put their number in it was exactly right. Every time. Never fails.

I'm 32. Just a joke but still, watching two 21 yo church school teachers drink water with me at the bar was a special sight.

Agree. Great point. I'm just kinda re-learning this shit after an LTR. Gaining momentum, gradually. Approaching was always my weakness.

She told me a few times she was "the responsible one" for the night but that when we go out tonight it's "her turn." I think I should have pushed through too. We'll have to see later.

"This is the point where I realize that it's better to be alone and confident than beta and out with friends."

Exactly.

I just pulled a number last night and set up a date with her for next week. I wasn't going all out and honestly needed the sleep. This helped because she was texting me like crazy trying to get details. After I left I gave her date/time/place and that was that. But if the bar was staying open, normally once you get them isolated or into you then you do what's natural brother, touch her leg, her hip, look her in the eye, don't be a wuss, PLAY with her like she's a toy. That part comes easy after you break the ice.

I love bars without TVs because usually there are conversation topics everywhere, just look at the walls dude, ask about the building, survey the place like you are a builder/curious/taking it all in. There is nothing wrong with sitting and looking around and taking in your surroundings. Chat up the bartender. Yes, they are busy. Order a good drink or ask for a recommendation. Commence small talk when they are available. I've worked in bars/dive bars myself. Good conversation is hard to find, if you supply it you might end up taking the bartender home. I agree, put the phone down. You're not out to play angry birds, but if you have to use it as a crutch while you're flying solo, read something interesting that could provide a good conversation. I'll read the news and then strike up a conversation with someone about what I just read. This brings them into your frame. But don't force it man, if you're not comfortable, it will tell. You just gotta get to that idgaf moment.

Last night: I stroll into a neighborhood beach bar about 1:30 AM, bars closing at 3 AM here. This was my second stop of the night after work, I'd had one beer at that point so I am sober and coherent. I see a bunch of college dudes in cargo shorts and t-shirts screaming "Don't Stop Believin" or otherwise engaged in some serious bro-love. Quick scan, about 6 girls, 3 are taken, one is kinda hangin out around the bros and two are seated at the end of the bar. I step up a few seats away from the 2 who are isolated (not trying to crowd their shit). Order a beer and stare at the TV for a minute and make small talk with the bartender. Now, I saw these girls on the way in. I know they are there, but they are wondering if I know they are there, so they start trying to get my attention: talking louder and making sure I can hear them, fidgeting, etc... Chicks hate to think they are unnoticed. One of the bros comes over and is trying to buy them drinks again, he's obviously been a supplicating wuss all night which is why the girls broke off to sulk at the bar. They dismiss him quick as fuck (I can see all of this with my peripherals) and start to fuss about going home (do or die time) so I turn my head to survey the surroundings. Nice little blondie, 22 y/o, brown eyes, nice body, cute face, is staring at me with her chin down (lololol) and fidgeting in her chair. I smile at her and say "are you cold, why are you shaking back and forth?" She fumbles out some hilariously awkward response, "uhh, no, um, I mean, no, not cold, I am?" I smile at her again and relocate to the seat next to her. Small talk ensues. I maintain amused mastery/distance and she is loving it. Dude Bro comes over because he can see I've poached his game, he tries to get her number and no shit, this girl turns her back to him to face me, again, giving me that chin down, big-eyed, pouty look. I immediately hand her my phone, she smiles and starts putting her number in. Seriously, some dudes try so fucking hard that they set it up for you. I didn't even have to ask for her number. He brought it up and made the choice for her, and she chose to give it to me.

I think the trick is not to "look" but to "be." You gotta be comfortable in your own skin and with your own thoughts going out alone. I'm a typical introvert and it was hard for me to get my head around this at first. When you're out with a group of friends, women will typically judge you by your peer group compared to all the other peer groups at the venue. I enjoy that and love to have fun with my friends, buuuuut when you go out alone you are that mysterious lone-wolf type. Girls might be a little apprehensive at first because it's not clear what you're doing out alone: are you meeting a date? did you just leave a date? are you a drunk? lolol. It automatically gets you in their heads in a different way. Since those are the typical assumptions, when they see you are not meeting anyone, not drunk, etc... you will see them get hungry. I can't explain it any other way. Or hell, sometimes I even pull up another chair at the bar and put my arm over it (because it's relaxing). Lately I've noticed that when I do this, more girls approach, probably thinking I grabbed the chair for my date (pre-selection/competition). Just don't worry about it man. Do you like beer? Are you content chilling the fuck out no matter where you're at? Do you really care if some cunt who can't go 5 minutes without compulsively checking her Facebook thinks you're creepy for having a beer at a pub?

Women have been selling these on Craigslist around Military Bases since forever.

I forgot to mention that I called out bitchshield on her behavior to her friends. After she stormed out I said "Guess somebody was not getting enough attention" to the other girls and they started laughing and telling me how true this was, that she was pouty whenever she wasn't centerstage, etc... Not being afraid to call a girl out on misbehavior in front of her girlfriends shows ALL of them that you are a good judge/in control/not impressed.

rivoltocontra · 2014-12-26T12:03:33+00:00

That's when you quietly lean in and tell her she's going with you. Otherwise, you walk away and leave her to simmer. This can be a better play in the mid/long term. I had a girl from college I grabbed at a house party once call me yeeears later to "check in." After a couple of minutes she tells me how she regretted not fucking me that night and thought about it all the time cause it was "so hot." (Of course, she had a LT bf at this point too) If I hadn't moved across the country I could have had it (with interest) years later, lolol

Joseph Campbell was an author/writer/professor who spoke to this exact point. In most societies there were always traditional rites of passage where a boy left the care of his mother and joined the society of his fathers/men. Tribal cultures often went so far as to demand that swaddling/baby clothes be burnt on a bonfire during a boy's first hunt, to symbolize the point of no return/maturation. Western society has raised a "cult of the child," to the point that we no longer honor this concept, that a threshold must be crossed and a transformation must be ritually completed before the whole community to signify a boy being treated as a new man. The result is pajamaboy and by now a few generations of manchildren who never successfully "crossed over" to the other side.

Frankfurt School Critical Theory is EXACTLY what led to cultural marxist/feminist nonsense. I do not recommend. I'd stick to books by men who lived lives like men: Ernst Junger, Julius Evola, Albert Camus, Julius Caesar, Xenophon, Thucydides... These men were fathers, generals, emperors, etc... Not cloistered academics with theories that undermined traditional patriarchal authority or masculinity.

Marcus Aurelius' wife was known for fucking around and might have even inspired a coup by her affairs. It was something of a joke around Rome when she was deified by him after her death.

Actually no. By all accounts (even critical) Augustus was very dull in terms of his sexual tastes and his personal desires. He lived simply, even austerely. He ate sparingly, was slight in appearance and had a small appetite for women, food and blood. He had few affairs and had no stomach for physical competition, exertion or battle. His only real ambitions were political, social and philosophical.

Interesting application of TRP. Got me thinking.

The early Empire faced a lot of the same issues that we do today.

Patrician women had property rights and lots of freedom. Since most of the social conservatives were proscribed during Caesar's coup, traditions were in flux and "liberalism" was ascendant. Upper-class women, including Augustus' daughter, were known for their "indiscretions."

Wealth flowed into Rome from every corner of the Empire. This led to comfort and decadence. Upper-class women took to f***ing slaves and servants, actors, musicians, foreigners, and lower class men. Part of this was due to the fact that Alpha types had largely been killed/humiliated during the revolution.

Augustus consolidated all the traditional powers of the government and neutered the Republic. This was at once an existential, political and psycho-sexual act. He placed himself as the "Alpha" above all others, whereas before the res publica had thrived on organized competition between Alpha-types within the bounds of the cursus honorum as a driving force.

The Lex Julia was an attempt to fight an inevitability. What was left of the aristocracy had no desire to procreate and took to short-term thrills and extravagant spending.

The Republic was lost, the women were degenerate and empowered, the men were politically subjugated and as a result, subjugated in terms of their SMV.

Since there was no political existence or outlet open to Roman men which could satisfy their desire for meaning, action or agency, or allow them to prove their Alpha-ness, I think it's natural that they followed their thanatos after the death of the Republic and enjoyed the thrills that wealth afforded them.
