If anyone is interested, there are several really good books about how marketers attempt to manipulate us. Here are a few:

  • The Buying Brain
  • Brandwashed: Tricks Companies Use to Manipulate Our Minds
  • Neuromarketing: Understanding the Buy Buttons in Your Customers' Brain
  • Buyology

I'd throw in The Power of Habit. It's not directly on that topic, but it's a primer on where those techniques come from.

For products you don't desperately need, you use them based on mental triggers: When X happens, use Y. When out of Y, buy more.

It's also a good primer in how to notice these cycles and disrupt the ones you don't want to be in.

Since it's inception on Reddit, the Red Pill has been accused of teaching men how to psychologically manipulate women.

The implication is this is a bad thing.

The implication is that men will manipulate women for their own ends, and that this is somehow bad for women. This statement works because of the low social value of men (distrust) and the high social value of women (value).

Oh no! The distrusted group of bad humans will do things we don't want to the valuable group of humans if they are given the tools to do so!

And now the reality:

Men are psychologically manipulated by women and society from birth. Men enter the sexual market place with negligible value against women with incredible value and opportunity and who have all psychological tools and tricks at their disposal - both instinctively and by reiterating the tropes they've absorbed from around them. Part of female privelege is that these work. Young and naive men will allow them to work. They've got literally no other point of reference. Such is the power of the all pervasive female imperative.

Young men are basically sitting ducks for marriage, divorcerape, false rape charges, financial exploitation, social exploitation, paternity fraud as well as all the other advantages young and naive men willingly heap upon women. Not least of which is granting them victim status and the pussy pass at every turn.

Women take full advantage of all these advantages until their 30's when they generally turn bitter due to the gradual removal of some (but by no means all) of their unearned privelege.

TRP is psychological manipulation of women? Oh hell no, this is just the thin end of the beginning of the start of the equaliser.

Great post GLO.

Fucking this.

Men need to stop worrying whether they don't cross a line and become an abubsive manipulator. Women manipulate all day long and even the most dark triad asshole TRP has ever seen couldn't even begin to measure up to them.

Lol I thought about it but I knew you guy's would catch on if I did.

There are people here who have been reading my articles for the past two years, have grown substantially as a result and want a souvenir. There are also people who want to give back for my time and effort. Posts like this take a very long time to write.

My shirt desighn is based on The Allegory of Prudence a classic painting by Titan that has the inscription:

From the experience of the past, the present acts prudently, lest it spoil future actions

I think that's what makes TRP great it allows young men to learn from the experiences of older men.

The post was good. You basically wrote about how companies use manipulation to get people to spend things (as if that was a groundbreaking revelation) and then you wrote how that could be applied towards interaction with women which is where it all ties in. I thought you made an interesting and valid connection between the two.

Then at the end, there's a link to a T-shirt and it makes it seem, to me at least, that the entire post was written just so you could plug your merchandise.

This post took me a week to think through and several days to write. It is the longest post I have ever written so far. Unlike most articles on the subject it is written to be easily understood and applied by young adults.

Yes I am marketing a product. However for me to do so effectively I need to have quality content.

You're providing value while simultaneously acting on an opportunity to gain personal benefit. There is no need to defend this. The merchandise part is part of the lesson learned.

I don't mean to put you or your work down but I personally wouldn't consider this "very high" quality content. It was a good post but just because you wrote a lot doesn't make it "high quality." A lot of what you wrote is common knowledge to me and I'd assume many others. The T-Shirt link at the end makes your writing seem disingenuous.

This took you a week

I often find myself taking a few days to write things. Drafting it out, doing research, choosing the right words, going back over it with a critical eye, repeating this process a couple of times, checking for spelling and grammatical errors... it all adds time, and if I'm only writing for a couple of hours a night it can easily take that long.

But yeah, your post that you wrote off the top of your head is clearly going to be faster than one that has gone through this process.

A lot of what you wrote is common knowledge to me and I'd assume many others.

The very existence of TRP is down to things that should be common knowledge... well, not being common knowledge.

As one progresses further with TRP, they generally find that less and less of the posts in this sub are useful to them. Recognising this is part of the learning process.

The T-Shirt link at the end makes your writing seem disingenuous.

He's always linked to his twitter at the end of his posts. He's been trying to build GLO into a brand for a while now, and I personally have no problem with it as long as he keeps providing value as well.

Have you considered making a product based on the theory side of trp? I would definitely buy a book you wrote, or even subscribe to a personal training type thing (wish I had a personal pattern interrupter) way quicker than I'd buy a shirt.

This was a good quality post. The two previous ones where you were just pimping your shirts in the guise of lightweight entertainment were not. I'm still not a fan of the shirt link, but the info in the rest of the post was well done.

It's ironic and funny the backlash you're getting for pimping your shirt after teaching psychological manipulation. As you said, people don't like being told what to do in an overt manner. You failed to put yourself in the shoes of your readers and properly judge what benefit your shirts would be to them and how you could have introduced them more subtly. A better tactic would have been to have modeled the shirts in photos embedded into posts about successful field reports. Then, when someone asked, "Wow, what's that red pill themed shirt?" you could have gone all aww-shucks-I-didn't-think-you'd-notice-hey-here's-a-link. Plus, there would be all the nice successful-by-association motive for buying them.

If we don't support our red pill writers they're eventually forced to write lower quality, more PC content for the beta-fags like RooshV that's more palatable /marketable. All of the HQ posts we benefit from at TRP have an opportunity cost to the authors. All TRP Endorsed authors are very capable men who could spend their time making money instead of writing you free content. If we don't support them they'll eventually have to leave. If GLO needs to sell some t-shirts to provide grade A content then so be it. No one is twisting your arm to buy, but please consider what the constant chatter around the t-shirts does to the signal to noise ratio and it's effect on guys trying to learn.

Brilliant post, I really resonated with how you talked about corporate motivations for third wave feminists. It's true, our entire society is created and run by several very large corporations. This is the very essence of our existence, we live in a capitalist business world.

The government creates an illusion of control, much like in the matrix. It's all an elaborate system of control, and major corporations bank on the fact that average humans burn out, give up and die well before they're onto the game.

Right now their most powerful chess piece is pussy. They move it around, make it tough to get, and this motivates the masses. We walk mindlessly towards our own inevitable fate thinking we will get that moby dick that's been haunting us our entire lives.

But thankfully, you mention something that I've been spending alot of time developing in the last few years. Learning to tap directly into the subconscious, and understanding how to manipulate/control the human mind.

Once we really understand how to completely control the mind, we will have a new Renaissance.

Great article, but Freud's psychoanalytic theory is not the basis of modern day advertising. In fact, none of Freud's theories are taken seriously today by psychologists and advertising companies.

I agree that advertising is largely based on implanting irrational "wants" in our minds. But this is not unconscious; the connection between Freud's psychoanalytic theory and advertising is specifically where subliminal messaging comes in. And subliminal messaging has shown to be not very effective.

Good stuff as always, GLO. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. For any RP young men out there looking for a major, give marketing a shot.

[–]hvdesisagod 2ポイント3ポイント  (2子コメント)

Marketing is all about fooling your target. You hide your intent/interest by accentuating how you can help them achieve theirs. Same thing goes for women. Give them a glimpse on how fun their life would be if they had YOU in it, while all you really want is that sweet, sweet new pussy.

Of course, this implies you have something to "sell", or else we're straying from marketing into conning, haha.

[–]Retro93 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

You're absolutely right. The best way to manipulate is to make it seem effortless.

If you're a salesman and you approach a potential client, it's much better to not think about how nice his money is going to feel in your pocket. It's much better instead to actually have a great product to sell to them, and to genuinely believe that they're going to love said product.

So too, must your frame be when approaching women. Being genuinely interested in offering others something (or at least appearing it) goes a long way in making the sale, whether that be actual sales or sales in the SMP.

Not necessarily a great product, just an idea of a great product. I find that it helps you in every domain available.

You know, ultimately I believe TRP teaches men to be manipulative.

Sounds horrible, right? It isn't. Manipulation is the art of getting what you want. Everyone manipulates one another to some degree. Every relationship - friendships, romantic relationships, and familial relationships - involve power games and manipulation to some degree. But for some reason, it's only socially acceptable to admit this in terms of business to consumer relationships.

If you're a human trying to reach a goal that involves other people (directly or indirectly), you will participate in manipulation to some degree. Even when the goal is something as insignificant as convincing your friends to go to one bar over another for a round of drinks.

The red pill wouldn't have to exist if humans were honest about the nature of relationships. However, Sun Tzu famously wrote that "all warfare is based on deception." It is in other peoples' best interests to not acknowledge the manipulation and power plays that happen every day in human interactions. Why would the winners ever talk about their strategy? We needed TRP because we were the losers of these power games.

If someone wants to interact with you, they want something from you. If someone wants something from you, they will manipulate you in order to reach their goal. Sometimes the tactic used is as harmless as a compliment (sort of how I opened my first post in this thread) and sometimes the tactic is downright calculated (think classical conditioning, emotional appeal, and other, deeper strategies).

Knowing how humans work is never a bad thing. As a result of TRP, I'm more well adjusted and sociable. I developed my personality and fleshed out my character. Admittedly, I get laid more and I'm moving upward in life. Most normal people would applaud these things, right? My parents have told me that they're incredibly proud of my transformation since finding TRP and changing my life. Girls from my past tell me how different and fun I am now.

But I bet those people would be the first ones to shame me if they found out that I read books on warfare, seduction, and power. Funny how that works.

You know, ultimately I believe TRP teaches men to be manipulative.

Ultimately?

It's at the very core of TRP tenets.

Step 1) Recognize the world for what it is, and how YOU'VE been manipulated your entire life.

Step 2) Build yourself and your frame so that you are resistant to the above. Recognize in real time manipulative tactics and guard against them. We call this passing shit tests. This is where TRP starts to get you laid.

Step 3) Actively manipulate others into acting how you want. This is called bringing others into your frame. Every time you knowingly ignore a text or escalate kino? Manipulation. Every time you unexpectedly pick a bitch off the ground like she's a twig, or grin at that hotties ass in front of your plate? Manipulation.

It's all manipulation to drive behavior to what you want. It's a happy coincidence that in doing this, she tends to be made extremely happy as well - as long as she continues to play by your rules.

edit: corrected a word, per below post

[–]hvdesisagod 4ポイント5ポイント  (1子コメント)

I feel that TRP is much more than manipulation. It is manipulation through honesty. It teaches you to be a man that people ALLOW to take control. Although women "try" to knock you off your pillar, deep down, they want you to be genuinely fun/honest/whatever.

[–]Retro93 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

You're exactly right. TRP has taught me how to be a man, above all else. I've discovered my goals for life and I have plans for achieving them.

Manipulation is done best when it doesn't have to be done at all. Compare the power you have over a girl who is begging for your cock versus a girl that has her bitch shield up. One will be much easier to work with (virtually zero work involved) and the other, you will have a hard time breaking through her defenses.

Being the sort of man who doesn't have to smash through other peoples' defenses is the ultimate in power. However, to play at the highest tables in life's game - with the highest caliber women, most successful men, and the biggest payouts - we must also learn to take control and outplay them in the game of power, because these are the kinds of people who will not just automatically defer to you.

The great thing about TRP is there are no hard and fast "rules"; you don't have to agree with everything here.

They are in their most influential state( and weakest position), they seek to remove and neutralise this anxiety. I attempted to research this myself in university before it got pulled due to ethics. H1 : priming one to bring into the conscious their own mortality will have an effect on generosity. - I basically made a bunch of 20 year olds read about dead celebrities (the 27 club) and they where found to give more to charity afterwards. It doesn't stop there though, they will literally do anything if it makes them feel better about themselves.

In Thai boxing we use to throw a jab, step back , throw a jab, step back, throw a jab , elbow to the face. This would work as we work with patterns, we think in threes. The opponent would be expecting another step back, only to get an elbow to the face.

You can fine tune your intonation/body language to stealthily increase doubt in someone's mind. It takes a lot of practise as if you over emphasise the doubt sequence, they'll sense something is off and call you out. Get it right and it'll hit them later that day and they'll have no connection to yourself. E.g. "Yeah , mark does seen like an ok choice, to move in with. I'm sure he'll pay on time again" (stressing the ok, putting the idea of "will mark pay on time in their head" and looking away slightly like you're thinking, when you say "again")

Word to those wise, the easiest people to manipulate are those that try to manipulate you.

These tactics are so very commonly used. Once you're aware of them you cannot unsee them. This can cause issues when you have no choice but to conform to them (unless you want to find a new job, for example; then risk starting over again with a company that does similar things).

Knowing these things occur may put you at a slight advantage, but in my experience it mostly annoys me and it's hard to trust anyone. Nothing seems genuine anymore.

Decent introductory article into psychological manipulation.

It's amazing how so many guys on here are so outraged that you put a link on the end of a decent post, for a t-shirt that they don't have to buy. they are still getting the content for FREE, you have still done countless FREE fitness consultations, (apparently) I'm sure many PM's to guys on TRP, offering FREE advice and many decent posts over the last couple of years, yet as soon as you just try to sell a t-shirt, (without appearing to use any psychological manipulation, ironically, well apart from offering good content prior to but that's pretty standard). The guys are getting butthurt that their precious GLO is betraying them, that he doesn't value them by giving and giving and getting nothing in return. Monetising oneself is the intelligent thing to do, once a skill set is appreciated by such a number of people.

This post is not about TRP.

This post is not about PUA/Women.

This post is about your life, it's about the environment where we all live in, we don't have to embrace these techniques we don't even have to like them, but we need to be aware that they are all around us and are being used toward us and against us.

You're at work and someone got promoted over you despite a lesser performance? Changes are s/he manipulated your boss and/or the system.

Do you own your own business and you keep losing business to your lesser quality competition that charges more?

Don't just read this post, study it, and this is just the beginning of a long journey.

Learning advertising, marketing, and sales strategies and tactics are far and away the most useful skills a red pill man can learn.

Why? Because advertising opens, marketing entices, and sales closes. Opens, entices, and closes what, you might ask? Anything you want in life. Really. Anything.

For pure marketing, reading pioneers of modern manipulation like Robert Collier, Eugene Shwartz, Gary Halbert, Clayton Makepeace, Gary Bencivenga, Dan Kennedy, Robert Cialdini, and other masters will completely open your eyes as to just how much of what we believe in modern consumer society is shaped by copywriters, advertisers, and marketers.

Then you can use their lessons and learn how to print money on demand.

As copywriters, we love women. We really do. They love to buy and buy and buy and buy and buy. They fall more heavily into constant buying patterns when marketers use scarcity, authority, social proof, liking, reciprocity, and commitment and consistency tactics than men do, in a wider variety of purchasing decisions. They control the majority of the spending in the American economy, since they're either wives with whom emasculated husbands always have to "consult" before a big purchase, or they're Strong Independent Women who can and will spend lots of money on whatever they want.

Revealed Below! The One Weird Secret That Will Get You Everything You Want In Life, Without Ever Having To Take Shit From Anyone Ever Again:

See, the beauty of copywriting, is that it's not difficult to learn. Not at all. It's hard work, sure. But not difficult. Literally all that you have to do, the only thing ever, is Google the top sales letters that were ever written, start with the authors mentioned above, and hand write them yourself. Do this for 365 days straight and you'll have the skills to make either yourself, or any business you come into contact with, millions. Or both. Your call.

Because of this trial by fire when it comes to learn copy, though, men are far more successful in this world than women. Why? Women can do the exact same thing. They can put in the exact same work to learn this incredibly powerful print-money-on-demand skill. They simply don't. Because it's hard. Just like working out every day for 365 days a year, even if some days your workouts are weights and other days they're yoga, is still hard work.

Put in the work, and you'll be rewarded with whatever you ask for in life. Because you'll know how to ask in a way that moves people.

You do that, and the world is yours.

Dope post, however I have to suggest an edit...

"Do you think guns cause violence?"

NLP dudes would not refer to this as a command, because there's no command in it. They'd call it a cause and effect statement, because it suggests a causal link between two things that aren't necessarily related at all.

I'm glad you wrote this post cuz you included a lot of specific and actionable advice.

[–]Snivellious 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

I have a question on embedded commands - how do they play when used in a negative?

It's my impression that "Do you think guns cause violence?" is a liberal line, but "Surely you don't think guns cause violence?" is a much more common conservative one. Priming with questions like that tends to be an attempt to make an idea sound absurd.

I know "absurdity" and "priming command" both work, but I don't have a clear sense of what happens to the command when you're trying to be absurd.

Interesting, thanks.

This is something I've wondered about for a while - a lot of the time when people are mocking an idea, I can't help but notice that they're constantly telling their audience the thing they don't want anyone to believe.

It seems like even if you're saying "this idea is held by outgroup people who you should disagree with", constantly repeating the idea is working against you as you do it.

You're selling your shirt to the wrong audience. Some schmuck out there wants a cool shirt to help them be more alpha.

Most men here are discerning enough that they make their purchases based on usefulness. What can your shirt do that the other shirts can't? If the answer is nothing, and I still need a shirt, well I'm just gonna pick the coolest shirt. That's why people buy Coca-Cola over Jollygood cola, because coke is cool as fuck whereas if you drink jollygood you look like a schlub.

Futhermore, why can't I just design my own shirt? It's gonna have a minimalist rooster holding a wheat chaff and sickle in either talon. Virgorooster brand will take the world by storm.

Your faith in the power of marketing is well placed, but in your attempts to sell the shirt and brand, you can do better. I say that not to insult you or your contribution to the sub, I'm just trying to give you feedback on why I haven't bought the danged shirt yet, despite the ad saturation on this sub.

Great post, but as a professional painter it hurts so bad to see Titian spelled Titan. He is a Titan of course.

On the note of Titian he used some quality "never outshine the master" tactics for getting his commissions. And for undressing women, except the time he paid for it.

I've picked up women in various scenarios but nothing beats studio seduction. It is a very dominating setup and they are often vulnerable with their validation on the line.

Try it if you like but learn to paint first please.
