MetaDo Manly Things (self.TheRedPill)

CaptainWasHere が 投稿

TL;DR: Learn manly skills to improve your quality of life, your SMV and your sex. Tools, home repair, auto repair, wood working, shooting and sports. Learn them all. Surprise yourself! And be a "real" man in our world filled with betas.

Start: I'm not the manliest of men, but I'm no neckbeard. I'm in my 30's with a great job (desk job), great girl and am happier than most of the people I see around me. My girl and a few other women in my life know about RP and ALL of them support it and wish more men were .... MEN!

Body: Learn to do more manly things! It's not just about lifting, game and holding frame. There is a desperate need for MEN in our society and you're part of a very select club. You owe it to yourself to learn masculine skills that benefit your life so that you can do what needs to be done when the time is right. We are the few that can do the hard thing when no one else can. Here are some skills that have benefited my life, surprised myself, and dramatically upped my attraction level. You are all on different stages of your path so take what's important to you. If you ever have the thought, "I can't do that. I'm not that guy." Then ask yourself... WHY??

Tools - Get some basic tools and power tools. Learn how to use them. Have a basic set in your car. There's post after post debating the best ones but the bottom line is that all the name brand tools are pretty good and many of them have the same exact components. Get some pallets and build something. Change your own motor oil. My drill is always charged and ready for a simple project.

Home Repair - Learn some basics. Fix a leaky toilet. Change a light switch. Paint a room. Repair a cut wire. Replace door knobs. I just replaced a handful of door knobs in my girl's place. It takes 7 min each. When I was done she looked as if I had built a damn house. And, oh yeah, she was dripping wet. Watch a few youtube clips on the basics. Practice on something. Go to home depot, get some scrap and make something.

Auto Repair - Patch a tear in your leather seats. Change your oil. Pop a dent. Of course... fix a flat. (You do have a basic tire patch kit right?!) I have a $10 OBD read in my car. Anytime the check engine light comes on it's super easy to plug in, get a code and google it. A lot of the time you can do a basic repair for less than 20 bucks instead of dropping it off at a shady mechanic for hundreds. Again, youtube clips for damn near any small repair or upgrade you can imagine.

Chores - Have your own list if manly chores that you chose to do. I won't let a girl take the trash out. I'll grab it out of her hand if she tries to while I'm around. Yard work. Clogged drain. Whatever ones you pick, make sure you do them.

Wood working - You can get free wood anywhere. Pallet furniture is a big thing now. Grab some free pallets and see what you can put together. Surprise yourself! I NEVER thought I'd go from spreadsheets and databases to pallet coffee tables and repairing drywall. But I did thanks to RP pushing me to learn.

Shooting - I am a proud gun owner. I can shoot and clean most handguns and rifles. Women are going to gun ranges more than ever before. Be the man that shows her how. Let her get wet with every shot. And, make sure she knows that you can protect her if a situation arises.

Self Defense - Learn something. Wresting, MMA, Krav Maga. Go at least a few times a month. Learn how to throw a punch and take one. Odds are that most of us have never been in a fight. How would you react? Learn at least some basic skills to grow your confidence and make your girl feel safe whenever you're out together. Muscles are GREAT. But many muscle-bound bros don't know how to use any of that power.

Motorcycle - I've never met a girl that I wanted to fuck that didn't love a bike. They all have a sexy fetish for riding bitch at 100mph. You can pick up a decent used bike for less than $4k if you shop right. I absolutely recommend a course or two. Don't go out on the road without knowing what you're doing. I like a road bike but most of the pre-CC girls are young enough to love a crotch rocket ride. Get at least the basic safety gear, and make sure it looks good. Very few things are more than a dirtbike and a long trail or big track.

Adrenaline Sports - This list is pretty open. What do most girls get these days? A guy that wants to take them home and play WOW? Be the guy that takes her bungee jumping, sky diving, rock climbing, scuba diving, zip lining... anything! I know these are not extreme to some of you. I agree. But they are to most people! Whether it's your first time or hundredth, you need to hold your frame and show her that you are steadfast in any situation. I love bungee jumping. I took a girl for her first time ever. She was bawling and begging me to not push her, but I wouldn't back down. I damn near shoved her off the tower as she screamed bloody murder. Minutes later I was doing backflips like a boss. To this day, she's glad she did it and associates me with that adrenaline rush.

Fix a Computer/phone - It's ok to be the tech support for a few things as long as it's not your only skill. Install a better browser. Remove tool bars. Remove a virus. Backup docs and photos! Install a time-saving app. Show her a few keyboard shortcuts. Showcase your skills by running a diagnostic or virus remover while expertly hanging a shelf in her place.

Be Decisive - This is a different vein, but perhaps the most important. Very few people these days know how to make a damn decision. Be ready to make every decision for you and your girl. My rule is that I will plan meals, dates, weekends, vacations, chores and more... and if she wants something other than what I've planned, she's welcome to speak up. Girls LOVE it! They do NOT want to be asked their opinion on every fucking thing. This is especially true if she's a strong working woman because she's already putting all her energy there. You take care of the other stuff so that she can be the passenger with the man she trusts leading.

Conclusion: I am the man I want to be and I'm dating the women I want to date because of RP. RP taught me to do the manly things that I never thought possible for me. I've had several women tell me that, "You're a REAL man" leaving me thinking, "Damn the bar is so fucking low these days." Add more manly skills to your list to improve yourself, your SMV and your sex life.

I'm just visiting the parents and took on the opportunity to learn arc welding from my old man.

We complain that women are not feminine anymore and we long for girls as they used to be: low N-count, knows how to cook, clean and nurture, wants kids more than a career... but men aren't what they used to be either.

And besides, woodworking is hipster faggotry. Relying on gimmicks like these to validate yourself as a man is the most beta thing I can think of, besides doing it in a vain attempt for pussy. "Hey, I can give up my spare time and use my skills in exchange for goods and services to win her over" aka beta providing aka a worse proposition than prostitution. Do those things if you actually enjoy them over the alternative, which might just be paying someone else to do them while you do the things you actually enjoy.

Great post. I have to admit the repair+tools thing is so true.

I am not a "hands on" type of guy, but I think any man who is arsed enough can perform some basic repair and odd job tasks. My g-f respects my ability to train her at the gym, dictate the schedule, and lead the finances (she once asked me if she could just give me her paycheques and I give her an allowance and manage the rest) and be the boss. But she never saw me use tools. Why would she? I lived in a condo before, and I did no maintenance.

I recently bought a house and had to install curtains. I asked her to come along for aesthetic opinions on the railings, and then she asked if she could help me install. Not thinking, I said sure. It turned out to be one of the biggest, most persistent and ongoing shit and control tests I ever received.

The whole time, she questioned my measurements and try to take control of the procoess, my use of the level, my decision on the distance between window and railing, the location of my mid-railing support, etc., etc. Unbelievable. She is usually so tame and compliant, but for some reason she just didn't see me as "able" and it brought out this weird side of her. I honestly felt like an alpha dog in charge of a pack, being challenged by another dog. She even suggested calling a handy man. Every time she challenged me, I told her she could leave any time, but I was going to install my own damn curtain, not get handyman-cucked, and if she didnt quit bitching about my approach, she could fuck off and get out of my way.

She didn't believe in me at all.

I just did my thing, kept at it, measured everything 12 times, drilled the holes, etc. It was the first time I did it, but I was determined to do it right. She complained it was too slow. Of course it was slow, it's slow the first time you do anything!

I told her I would rather spend a whole day installing it if I had to, what's 1 day to avoid looking at a crooked curtain for years, or having to re-drill and patch holes, which takes even more time since it involve painting.

Finally, when it was done (perfectly of course) she looked at it and said "Awesome. You can be so handy when you want to be." We had good sex that night.

But since then, if she decides she wants to help me with odd jobs, she listens. That is, if I let her help at all. And her being an artist, she appreciates the perfectly level railing more than I do. Now on the scale of handyman jobs, installing a curtain is one of the most mundane and easiest things possible. And yet... even here, we find frame control is necessary.

Curious, after the third shit test, you probably noticed that she wasn't being helpful always questioning you. Why didn't you remove the option to leave and just dictate to her to leave?

[–]ministypill 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

You did it absolutely in the opposite way.

Guys, open up your subconscious then remember these:

1>Withhold your fucking commitment.

2>Withhold your fucking commitment.

3>Absolutely fucking NO commitment to anyone, other than yourself.

It's actually better in cold weather - the ice cold shower makes the cool air outside more than bearable. Difficult to control the temp in a 120 year old house with 13 foot ceiling.

You should learn how to do this stuff to save yourself money.

The motorcycle part though...I'm an orthopaedic surgeon and I'd tell you to stay the fuck away from motorcycles. I've amputated a leg from a guy who fell over on a STATIONARY motorcycle. I've seen a leg arrive in a separate ambulance from the leg's owner. If you're on an upright motorcycle that slams into another vehicle the gas tank will smash your scrotum before opening your pelvis up like a book. Here is a pictorial: http://benthamopen.com/FULLTEXT/TOORTHJ-9-283 That giant, bloody scrotum is an understatement. I've seen them so swollen that the skin splits open, exposing the testicles.

Even if you're the safest rider you cannot control what the dipshit in the other car is going to do. Believe me, that lady with the "baby on board" sticker does not see you approaching the intersection.

[–]Capt_ShitNuts 11ポイント12ポイント  (2子コメント)

morons riding 100+hp race bikes are to blame for this. I started riding dirt bikes when I was 10. I've ridden probably every type of bike out there. I'm 39 now and have only gotten a few scrapes and bruises. Not that what you're saying isn't true, I know it is. But I think the majority of the blame comes from idiots that ride 120mph down the freeway weaving in and out of traffic because they saw someone do it on Grand Theft Auto. Or the wanna be "stunters" that try to do tricks on a stock bike that wasn't built for abuse.

[–]Blaat1985 5ポイント6ポイント  (1子コメント)

You still have little control over other drivers in traffic and that is where the biggest danger is. Only one retard has to not notice you and hit you and you can be fucked for life. That's what happened to a former teacher of mine. Bike user of 30 years that got slammed by a car which was not his fault. Barely survived it, broke nearly every bone in his body and is only able to use a single arm now for the rest of his life.

[–]Red_SL4 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Defensive riding goes a long way. But I agree. If I had the choice I'd ride only with good weather as a leisure activity, on nicely paved mountain roads. In the mean time, I'm as careful as possible and expect every car on the road is trying to kill me.

[–]EnlightenedViking 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

you could say the same think about riding your bicycle. People get hit and crushed all the time Most of the accidents i see are from guy's being reckless but you have a point.

Ride with caution and respect

If there weren't so many safety issues I would absolutely love using a motorcycle. I think it'd be fun just to ride around on my own, but not for every day use in my opinion. If you can find a one way road then learn it and gun it for fun I guess, but otherwise Its not worth the insurance and risk.

[–]r3mok -1ポイント0ポイント  (6子コメント)

A lot of guys who like motorcycles like it because they think it'll pull pussy in for them. You can do that without risking your life riding a death machine. Motorcycles are often just compensation for what guys lack in other areas.

[–]10211799107 9ポイント10ポイント  (0子コメント)

That's a shallow opinion. You don't like bikes so that guy that does automatically "lacks" something in another area to "make up for it" with a bike. Some guys just like bikes, no reason other than that.

I think it'd be cool; it's very masculine. Masculine attracts feminine. They can coincide without being "compensation"

Been riding for 10 years and the motorcycle scare tactics are usually examples of stupid riders who believe they can get away with shorts and a singlet. Wear all the gear including shin height boots and dont do stupid things on regular roads and youll be fine

I've personally met several guys that have been fucked up by bikes. Can't say the same about cars....and people are always in cars. It's not scare tactics, it's assessing risk.

I grew up in a neighborhood adjacent to public (unregulated) land, and we all had motorcycles as teenagers. A lot of accidents and one death, so I agree with you in principle, but riding is fun. Still, I don't do it now that I'm a father. I'd feel safer parachuting, which I did a lot of in the military.

This is interesting. I personally have creative personal passions that don't allow for anything else aside from women work and working out. None of them are manly, they are writing (almost finished with first novel), music and strangely enough ive gotten into men's fashion design, specifically jackets. Women seem to not only respect these passions but are genuinely interested in them, and they all help me get laid consistently. With that said I also do go shoot and am no stranger to grueling physical labour. But all this guy shit above I really don't have any skills in.

[–]Drogba006 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

You said the stuff you are in to isn't "manly", what I think is that is you really mean "traditionally manly" as in something you'd imagine the Marlboro man doing.

Here's the thing, as a dude if you do some and become so good at it and take it further than other men, that's your masculinity right there. I can't take shit about what you do because you'd look at me with all the stuff you've done with your interests and say "shut up idiot".

Shit man, in the show Californication the character Hank Moody was a passionate writer and peopled loved him. Don't talk down.about yourself like that

[–]Grimsterr 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

I've said it before, learn to do shit, learn to make shit, learn to fix shit. The more a man has to rely on some other man to do shit for him, the less of a man his old lady sees him as. This is especially true for the married dudes, like me, my wife sees me getting some other man to do shit I oughta handle and she's gonna squint her eyes and start thinking.

[–]Bpgiissues 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

One caution. Do it for yourself or get something in return. I have always been handy have built furniture rebuilt motorcycle engines repaired cars repaired shit around the house etc.

I used to always be willing to help people out when they needed it. No longer. Easy way to get taken advantage of. Make sure if you are doing something for somebody else you get something in return. Show that your time and skills have value even if you make it look easy.

[–]TheFamilyAlpha 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

OP has it right.

You need to release that masculine energy which builds up over time.

It's why when you wrestle w/ family or friends you feel so good after. The times where you can release your true masculine energy are too far & few between.

Make it happen, man up.

[–]youssarian 1ポイント2ポイント  (6子コメント)

Probably the most traditionally "manly" thing I've ever done is work in a fiberglass factory for 6 months. Manual labor. Shifts started at 4 or 5 AM. It was very much hands-on, I learned how to handle power tools. I worked with virtually all men, most of whom were felons. A very masculine bunch. It's a shame I didn't pick up more of their (legal) traits.

I'm a programmer by trade. It's "manly" in the sense that it's about problem solving. I can't really say I've impressed many people, though.

[–]bchs72 0ポイント1ポイント  (4子コメント)

I've taken a class in programming. It's manly in the sense you're problem solving and telling the magical computer what to do. It's not manly in that you're probably going to end up at a desk job being someone's programming bitch, depending on how you look at things. Mechanical engineering for me, we'll see what happens once I graduate

[–]youssarian 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's not manly in that you're probably going to end up at a desk job being someone's programming bitch

Very true. There's plenty of developing your logical thinking and problem solving skills. But let's be honest, that doesn't really attract many people. People in general care more about physical strength and being able to solve practical issues, as opposed to abstract thought.

[–]TheSlicemanCometh 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

Programming is manly af.

Less than 1% of top tier programmers are women for a reason. "Manly" is more than a tattooed bearded bald giant swinging a massive axe an a bloodsoaked battlefield.

[–]bchs72 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

I'm not really looking to get into a debate here, but it all depends on how you define manly. Also your stat really speaks more to ambition and intelligence than to being alpha. Just my opinion

[–]TheSlicemanCometh 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

ambition and intelligence

ergo manly. Exactly.

Not trying to debate right now either. Just saying, not a programmer myself, but Ive done it enough to know that its an exclusively male ability.

[–]PM_ME_YOUR__TOES_ 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Programming is manly in the sense that only men do it.

So by nature, it must be manly.

Good post. Every man has interests, and most eventually put their interests/hobbies on hold because they get shit tested by a woman.

I backpack hunt for elk (archery or muzzleloader) in Colorado every year, deep in a wilderness area, and my partner of several years started backing out last year, because his wife was giving him grief. Funny thing is, his wife has openly confessed to me that she wishes he would go, because she actually wants some time to herself and wants him to be a man, but her shit tests have got him spinning in place at home, afraid to leave the house.

I wouldn't ever tell him about her statements to me, because I don't feel it's my place. So this year I sourced another couple guys to go. So sad.

How about do things that YOU enjoy doing, not just for the sake of being qualified in your book as a "man" which is by YOUR weird standards.

Sure, these things can have tangible effects on daily physical problems, but they don't actually help you do better with women.

It is your confidence that outshines everything that you bring to the table, that is the thing that most men lack when dealing with women.

Hell, I can even do fucking pilates and still be great in life.

If you have to call someone to save your ass when shit breaks and goes to shit, how are you more useful than the average unskilled girl?

Oh you're too busy to do it? You pay people to do it for you? You're so elite and your time so immensely valuable that you cant fix a dripping faucet? Yeah go ahead and ride that hamster, tell yourself you're too good and ignore the truth... That you're nearly helpless without a debit card.

You're not expected to know how to rebuild a transmission in the bed of a pickup, or how to design a skyscraper, but you should know how to fix most simple shit.

This, I save money by knowing how things work and how to repair them. Lots of fellow academics can't do anything themselves, can't fix simple problems. Everything has to be done by a skilled blue collar guy, that charges an arm and a leg for being there and flipping a switch.

[–]TheSlicemanCometh 2ポイント3ポイント  (2子コメント)

Oh you're too busy to do it?

Believe it or not, this actually exists.

There are men that work 80 hours a week manual labor. They could change a broken bumper or fix a leaky faucet but literally dont have a spare minute to do so.

Men whose only way to make time to fix it would be to take time away from a job that pays more than they would save by doing it themselves.

Google opportunity cost. Getting someone else to do it is basic economics.

I think it depends on the context, but it can be some months/years in jail, and even if it is a few weeks, it's still not worth it getting an illegal one.

I don't know how unarmed crime victims get treated in your country, but you would expect serious injury requiring hospitalization at best here. Nobody should have to be at the mercy of any criminal willing to inflict force when Sam Colt made us all equal.

I dont really get to do much of anything I want to do lately because of my work schedule.

In the off season, when Im not working crazy hours, I like building and tending a garden with raised planters, building and cleaning guns, hiking alone, mountain biking, lifting of course, and just learning and exploring new things in general in terms of ideas and philosophy.

All manly things imo.

In a few years, when Im comfortable with my commas, Ill probably get back more in martial arts (like to try my hand at BJJ), and some dirtbiking.

[–]GeorgeBushIV 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

spot on. lifting has always been apart of my life, gives me structure and routine.

a big one is that i picked up mountain biking this past summer. its been a great investment. i love the challenge, im on the east coast so it is very rocky and steep. it makes me chuckle when girls who are hiking with their bf/so stare.. gives me a ego boost.

not only is it great cardio but i have a sense of accomplishment when i complete a tough loop. i have something to look forward to when im off work and i can say i have a legitimate hobby.

"Shooter" is not a synonym of "Gunfighter."

Different worlds- but the former is prerequisite of the latter. Somewhere in between as the personal evolutionary catalysts are inherent hostility, calculated intelligence and threat recognition...

I think this is pretty solid advice as long as you're doing it for yourself, as in to improve your skills and overall value. But if you're doing it because some bitch is asking you to be her handyman then no.

Yeah. Gotta be for your own personal growth.

Learn some basics. Fix a leaky toilet. Change a light switch. Paint a room. Repair a cut wire. Replace door knobs. I just replaced a handful of door knobs in my girl's place. It takes 7 min each. When I was done she looked as if I had built a damn house. And, oh yeah, she was dripping wet. Watch a few youtube clips on the basics. Practice on something. Go to home depot, get some scrap and make something.

Learn how. To write a. Complete sentence. Be a man!

Most manly thing you can do: Make money

Why do you think that? Lots of guys make tons of cash and are beta bitches . And lots of other guys make no money and have no future but get girls every day.

How do you know you aren't her little slave who she rewards with some sex if you do chores... Jeez I do all the things on this list except motercycles. I didn't even know there were men who aren't doing these things

There are plenty of men that aren't. And you never do it FOR sex. I'm just living my life and she's enjoying the ride.

For real though. I just recently moved into a bigger apartment. I'm an IT guy, so people automatically think I don't know how to "fix things".

So I arrived at the new home, and startet putting together my IKEA stuff, and putting up some lights on the ceiling. My girl watched me, she literally pulled me into the bed afterwards, because she was so horny.

This is interesting. I personally have creative personal passions that don't allow for anything else aside from women work and working out. None of them are manly, they are writing (almost finished with first novel), music and strangely enough ive gotten into men's fashion design, specifically jackets. Women seem to not only respect these passions but are genuinely interested in them, and they all help me get laid consistently. With that said I also do go shoot and am no stranger to grueling physical labour. But all this guy shit above I really don't have any skills in.

"Most of us have never been in a fight"....speak for yourself. I've been into physical fights with classmates in high school, with my own father(threatened to kill me with his gun) , and my older brother (broken family). I play basketball in my local park(which is common for me and my friends) and learned how to fix things simply because a lack of money to repair it. When you're living in a low income city, you HAVE to learn this things.
