Thankfully, those are less ideological on women and more about getting your shit right.

So, in essence:

1. Go to the fucking gym. It's good for you and you know it's good for you. Stop being fat, stop being weak. You don't have to be a machine, but you should care a little.

2. Focus on improving your financial position. This one is pretty easy for me, and thanks to the success of my business, I can go from 'making sure you're not poor' to 'perhaps you should be buying a house' mentality. Still, I strike to make my finances better every single day.

3. Be confident. Whether it's talking to friends, trying to impress a lady or just sitting up straight on the bus: be in control and make sure people know that you're not in the least bit phased by their presence.

4. Be willing to walk away. It doesn't matter if it's a business deal or a long-term relationship, you should always be comfortable with the idea of leaving the negotiation table at any point. If you're not invested in something to the point where you're willing to compromise instead of saying 'thanks, but I'll pass', then you will always be the person that is in control. You need to be willing to just drop whatever it is and not give a fuck.

5. Maintain frame. This is also a great general principle that just so happens to be applicable to impressing women. You should never back down to an emotive reply to an action you undertake just because the other person wants you to. Always maintain that you are correct if you genuinely are. If they don't like it, they can either change their thinking or fuck off.

6. Be busy. Powerful men don't have time to waste. So don't reply to messages on Facebook instantly, don't accept the phone call right away and don't go out to clubs or bars if you have something better to do. There are very few people that are at that elite level of existence who can be justified in not being busy - everyone else needs to stop wasting time on pointless shit and get their hands dirty. If I have no work, I find work. If I can't find work, I build websites. If I can't build websites, I hit the gym. If I can't hit the gym, I tidy up. If I can't tidy up, I throw out old clothes I no longer need. Etc. etc. - bottom line is that you should never really be available, because if you're available, you're not attractive.

As you can see, my points are quite liberal and more about just being a better person. I think I associate more of my stance with motivational speakers (Eric Thomas being one of them), but there are elements of The Red Pill that are particularly attractive to a person that isn't okay with being average.

All of the extreme gender-based theory isn't really my cup of tea. But I see no harm in being a non-narcissistic Red Piller if it makes me a genuinely better person.
