Heroes and villains. This age-old conflict goes back as far as human history has been recorded. As far as most of us know, the good guys came out on top most of the time. But the older we get, the more we question what we believed to be the pillars of truth that have been engrained in us since our youth. One of those pillars is that heroes are worshiped and revered as the true alphas of society.
Red pillers are now well aware that acting like a hero or trying to be the good guy leads to failure in most every aspect of life. Work, women, social situations, and everything in between will ultimately kick you square in the balls if you sacrifice your mental, physical, and financial well being for the “greater good” (read: feminine imperative).
But how do we break the mold and conquer life when the world showers men with false promises of female love and loyalty for their heroism? Who do we take cues from now that we know that most of our fathers, mentors, and role models have led us astray?
Villains, that’s who. These guys live much better lives than their suburban beta counterparts with their four-figure mortgages and two car payments. Women outwardly want them. Men secretly want to be them. Bad guys have it figured out, and we would all do well to heed their actions and apply them in our lives accordingly.
Part one detailed the beginning stages of your outlaw transformation. At this point in your development you’re working on being completely unapologetic, increasing your chattel, and turning your dwelling into an environment that suits you and you alone. Let’s continue the incubation process.
Make Women Your BOTTOM Priority
One of life’s greatest fallacies is the idea that a man needs a woman in his life to be truly happy. Make women your priority and you’ll win their undying devotion and respect, they say. Lies. Men don’t need anything but our own bodies and minds. With a solid foundation with these two tools at its core, a man can achieve a level of satisfaction that goes far beyond committing to a female who has little to no agency and brings no value to his life.
With our bodies and minds we can accumulate other valuable commodities like money, respect, and solitude. Outlaws understand that these are some of the most important assets they can acquire because it allows them to amass other resources to enhance their lives. Among the items on their list of priorities, women are at the very bottom and for good reason.
First, women are experts at draining your monetary means. They are expensive on many levels within the context of a committed relationship, which can deplete your financial stores if you allow things to get out of hand. As far as respect goes, if your frame isn’t air-tight then today’s women won’t hesitate to disrespect you in public or in front of your friends and loved ones. Allowing this to go unchecked will extinguish that currency very quickly. Finally, their propensity to smother you in an attempt to control your life means time to yourself to think, reflect, and plan walks right out the door along with your money and respect.
Bad guys know the havoc that devoting themselves to a woman can wreak on their lives, so they wisely put them at the bottom of their respective totem poles. Incidentally enough, this is exactly what keeps the pussy flowing like the Nile River. This is something they’ve known for a while.
Making your mission your priority will improve your life to the point where you won’t have to commit to a woman. The reason for this is that they will make themselves available to you with every chance they get simply because of the scarcity of your availability and emotional contribution. The emotions of a woman are no match for a man who has other things going on in his life. Plus, all the pussy he’s getting on the side as a result of having his priorities straight causes him to subconsciously adopt an abundance mentality, making him all the more irresistible to her.
Like most things in life, the more something is available to you the fewer fucks you give about it—especially poonani. The supply of women is plentiful and the inventory is growing by the second. Girls aren’t going anywhere, so there’s no reason to focus an exorbitant amount of effort obtaining something you can get with minimal investment.
This isn’t to say you need to stop approaching. But spending a disproportionate amount of your time chasing tail is a waste of time and resources. Villains don’t do this and neither should you. Let the manginas give them constant validation. You’ve got better shit to do.
Think like a bandit and put the pussy in your basement. You’ll quickly find yourself in their penthouses much more often than not.
Assemble A Solid Crew
I’ve been arrested a few times and have spent a total of about 2 weeks in jail. It’s not something I’m proud of, but I’m not ashamed of it either. I fucked up, got caught, and paid for it. That’s life. I’ve also been in my share of fights. I’ve kicked a few asses but I’ve also gotten the crap beat out of me on more than one occasion. Can’t win ‘em all.
But as bad as being on the short end of these experiences was, it taught me a very important lesson: having one or two compadres you can count on substantially reduces the collateral damage. It’s common knowledge that there’s no honor among thieves, but outlaws always have one or two go-to guys they trust implicitly in case things go sideways. While they’re confident they can handle just about anything that comes their way, they don’t let their egos get in the way of survival and are never too proud to call in a favor from a trusted comrade.
As a man you must be self-sufficient in every sense of the word. But there will come a time when you encounter a situation that’s outside of your control and you will need assistance. Count on it. Getting pulled over by a hot-headed cop who’s five arrests short of his quota or being accosted by a pissed off beta who’s recruited a couple of his buddies looking to defend the “honor” of the girl you approached are good examples where a helping hand(s) would be quite useful.
Having a crew you can call on to help mitigate the damage is invaluable. I consider myself very fortunate to have a couple of close friends who have helped me out of some pretty sticky situations over the years, and for whom I’ve returned the favors faithfully. We’ve bailed each other out of jail, jumped into fights for one another, and called each other at all hours of the night to get out of some predicament or another. Through all the bloody noses and loss of precious sleep we always have each other’s backs and have plenty of great stories to tell.
Understand that this will not be easy. Finding like-minded men you can trust is becoming increasingly difficult, as 95% of men in this country are certified beta boys who will do nothing but decrease your value and will sometimes intentionally drag you down with them when they see you’ve got life by the balls. Unfortunately these guys can sometimes be your own friends.
Bad guys have a knack for piecing together high-quality inner circles. If you manage to gather a team of self sufficient, goal-oriented red pill men who think and act on your level, the dividends are priceless.
Become A Civilized Barbarian
One of the most underrated traits villains possess is their ability to thrive in domestic situations and hostile environments equally well. The first half of this dual-purpose attribute is learning to cook, and cook well. There’s no need to become a Michelin Star-level chef (though it does have its advantages) but possessing above average culinary faculty shows a class and sophistication villains are well known for. Cultivating this skill will also keep your mind engaged and will churn your creative juices which ultimately affects every part of your life.
The second half of this agency is the ability to survive in outdoor or hostile situations. The ability to defend yourself effectively gives you supreme confidence in potentially volatile situations and preserves your continuity as a man. Mastery of outdoor skills such as camping, using firearms, hiking long distances, or anything that pertains to outdoor survival over an extended period of time are all examples of things the bad guys must have down pat as a matter of necessity.
I’m no MMA fighter, but if push comes to shove I can hold my own. I also take tremendous pride in the fact that I can prepare a perfectly seasoned salmon with a side of parmesan crusted asparagus (goes great with red wine), walk outside and hit a target 100 yards away with my Winchester, then pitch a tent and set up a base camp faster than most.
These things, like assembling my crew, were far from easy and took years to accomplish. I’ve shelled out a ton of cash for cooking classes, countless target shooting courses, and dozens of camping trips in order to achieve the multidimensional agency I wanted. I am a self made man—a common trait among villains.
Learning and honing these dichotomous skill sets drastically increase your value as a man. However, a welcome side effect is that females get dripping wet over a man who displays high aptitude in these areas because they demonstrate high value. DHV is effortless to outlaws because they genuinely possess these skills and are required to use them quite frequently. Developing your domestic and outdoor survival skills will not only serve you well on a daily basis, but it will also separate you from 99% of men out there who are one-dimensional.
Supplemental Habits
Let’s discuss a few minor habits that will help push your outlaw game to the next level.
Spend More Time Alone
Making an effort to consistently isolate yourself from the outside world has innumerable benefits. It allows you to decompress, which is paramount to keeping your mind and body razor sharp and operating at peak efficiency. Isolation can last from just a few hours to a few days or longer depending on your personality and time. Turn off your phone, ditch your laptop, and get off the grid for a while. Meditate, lift weights, or go on a weekend hiking trip alone. Do whatever it takes for as long as it takes to recharge your batteries.
Read Up On Dark Triad Traits
There are a plethora of studies out there that unequivocally prove that men who genuinely possess one or more of the “dark triad” traits have little problem attracting the company of women. Without getting into the nuts and bolts, dark triad men simply don’t give a fuck about anyone but themselves. Here is a great place to start if you need a basic overview of what they are.
Many men already have one or more of these characteristics and sometimes it takes a little research to bring them to the surface. Not everyone has them, but reading up on them might help you realize why you act and think in ways that most men don’t.
Always Have A Backup Plan
The best bad guys rarely get caught off guard. This is because they always have a plan B up their sleeves on the off chance things don’t go according to plan. Having a solid backup plan manifests itself in confidence and boldness. Walking into any situation knowing you have one or more ways carry to out your plan helps you maintain frame in any environment.
We’ve all heard stories about the guy who always seems to have the presence of mind to make the right decisions in chaotic situations. This guy likely had a failsafe or two ready to deploy at a moment’s notice. This is why a man with a plan and a backup plan are unfazed by unrest.
Part 2 Takeaway
We all know that Drago lost to Rocky in disgrace and that Scarface and his “lil’ friend” were blown away in a cocaine-fueled rage. Those who are familiar with the story of Frank Lucas also know that his undoing was largely due to his inner circle dropping the ball, which led to the unfortunate decision he made to turn on them to save his own skin.
But where being a man is the most auspicious is the ability to separate the advantages of being a bad guy from the disadvantages. Leave the lemming approach to life to western females who blindly follow and mimic the exploits of celebri-sluts like the Kardashians, Jennifer Lawrence, and Taylor Swift thinking they’ll live the good life, only to realize much too late that following that lifestyle is the quickest way to shorten their shelf lives.
This approach to life is not for everybody. A good number of men who wish to implement these traits will be short of time and resources. Another portion of men will want to jump on their moral high horses and denounce this lifestyle, failing to understand that I’m not advising men to copy criminals to the letter and risk their freedom in the name of “alphadom.”
That’s perfectly fine with me, but I would strongly advise these men to check their fear at the door. Use the discernment and logic your creator blessed you with in the form of a y chromosome and grab life by the balls in ways most men can’t or won’t.
By the same token, I’m fairly certain that ROK has readers who have been in or have proclivities that put themselves in situations that are potentially dangerous or have serious legal ramifications. As stated above I’ve had my share of brushes with the law. Though I’ve had a few close calls I’ve managed to come out the other side with minimal physical, mental, and monetary damage because I figured out how to weave my way through these treacherous waters. Did good fortune have a small part in a few of my favorable resolutions? Sure, but don’t kid yourselves—preparation and experience makes a huge impact.
On that note, my final third and final installment will not be for the faint of heart. It will detail the ugly but necessary side of the outlaw lifestyle. Avoiding, safeguarding, and preparing yourself for situations that could potentially rob you of your time, money, faculties, freedom, or even your life will all be covered. Bad guys protect these commodities much more fiercely than depreciating assets (e.g. women and expensive toys) and so should you.
Read Next: Why You Should Live Life Like A Villain
Can not wait for the next installment!
Very good.
False dichotomy. Sounds more like nostalgia … criminals (especially the mafia) were made cool by Hollywood, but that’s not real life. It’s a false expression of repressed masculinity.
The villain is a parasite, not a creator. Real men create and acknowledge standards.
I think there’s this enormous confusion in the Manosphere with the “beta good guy” and the honorable hero who does what must be done. They are not the same thing. I want to see goodness and beauty flourish, but at the same time I have turned my back on society (I’m neither a villain nor a beta). I will do what is necessary to survive.
Real thugs and villains are nothing like Don Corleone or Denzel’s character in American Gangster. They live a life of fear and petty indulgences … you don’t become a successful criminal by choice, you are born into it or have those treacherous proclivities. Most bosses are not self-made masterminds… those guys run infomercial scams or are on Wall Street.
I don’t believe the author is telling guys to be criminals. There is a difference between being a bit dark and a common street thug. It’s beneficial to embrace your darker tendencies to keep sharp and to keep priorities straight. I agree with you in that real men create something form hard work and grit. However, you need that bad guy edge to make it through all the bullshit.
There have been a number of articles here encouraging men to embrace at least the attitude of a thug with pictures from movies like Casino and The Godfather. Rap music in white suburbs is a similar expression. Buying a truckload of ammno and guns is another supposed masculine gesture (not that I am against that, I just don’t see it as a real solution).
It’s a form of mental porn with no substance.
The basic message of every Scorcese film is very conservative. He’s looking at dysfunction and condemning it. Even though he accepts it as the human condition.
Men behave this way for a reason, and often try to put on a facade of rebellion even when they’re not. Women find the dark triad of personalities sexually attractive. It’s been scientifically verified.
http://scottbarrykaufman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/The-Dark-Triad-Personality.pdf
As we’ve noted many times in the manosphere, women are anti-civilization. Their sexual preferences evolved for hunter-gather societies, not civilization. When you give them freedom to follow their irrational instincts they will, if left uncontrolled, drive humanity back in time 50,000 years.
The problem isn’t women’s preference, it’s social motivations which de-incentivize marriage to stable betas.
Culture? Nope. This is the result of deregulation. There isn’t a culture that tells women to get knocked up by bad boys or criminals. Quite the opposite. That behavior is the result of freeing primitive and irrational instincts in the female brain. They were always there, as in hunter gatherer times mating with these nefarious types of men would’ve been a good strategy for genetic survival. As I’ve already noted, it’s been proven that young fertile women are attracted to the dark triad. It’s a very short hop to hybristophilia from there.
Not disagreeing. I’m saying in the past women were not allowed to follow those instincts due to cultural shaming.
In the early 20th century, 90 percent (real stat) of American women claimed to be virgins on their wedding day. Whether that’s true or not doesn’t matter, it’s about the restraint that was encouraged.
You cannot fake being a pyscho and you don’t need to. Simply being a no shit taking, independent and well organized guy will suffice to get the ladies panties soaking.
Well said.
Agree. Put the energy and effort into improving yourself. Learn new things. Shooting is a good one (there are many younger men out there, today, who have never even held a gun). Everything in the article suggests improving yourself or learning something new that you want to do (not we and not her). Do it for yourself and by yourself, if need be.
Do your own thing and definitely don’t give a fuck what people think or say (it’s their opinion and like assholes……).
This attitude has served me well over the years. I don’t care if people get offended by my opinion on an issue….it’s my opinion. Different people are going to have different opinions and you should never let anyone shame you into thinking a certain way (herd mentality).
Fuck them…especially if they aren’t paying your bills.
I believe a man can be a straight shooter at work and be wildly successful, because I’ve seen it.
But with women that would just be dropping your guard. Back in a different era relationships used to be about mutual benefit, but feminism has blown that all to hell.
“I believe a man can be a straight shooter at work and be wildly successful, because I’ve seen it.”
I used to think it was impossible, but then I worked for someone who was exactly like this, as straight a shooter as they come and very, very successful. However, I will say, it’s very fucking rare. Most of the wildly successful people I know are either sociopaths or full on psychopaths (and typically in sales).
There’s a reason Darth Vader is more popular than Luke Skywalker. But if Vader turns you off, look at the “good” villain (Han Solo).
Never saw Han Solo as the villain or even vaguely bad. He was a “bad boy” but in a charming, roguish way without doing anything actually bad.
Although they did “soften” him up in the revised movies with the “who shot first” thing. He originally shot the bounty hunter under the table-very much justified since he was going to turn him over to a gangster to probably be killed. Then Lucas thought this made him just to darn rough and had the bounty hunter shoot first and MISS from extremely close range.
Han Solo was a smuggler.
Nothing wrong with that, as long as you’re not smuggling slaves. It is almost always a net GOOD to avoid the State and go against its interests when it becomes anti-ethical to liberty.
And he shot first dammit!
Greedo can go ‘eff himself.
Nooooo we cant show Han with a dark side.
Once he turned into a good guy, his attractiveness to women dropped a couple of notches.
Solid point. More people go to Star Wars movies dressed as Darth Vader or Storm Troopers than Luke Skywalker.
I don’t know if Hollywood did all of it Doc. During the time of Dillenger he was well renowned for being for the cause of the honest/decent man. I also recall that many mobster types did *not* take on the general public because they cared about public opinion AND the prevailing attitude was that they didn’t want common, at the time normally armed, Americans turning against them. So there was some truth there to work with. Hollywood of course made it into something far “nicer” than it was.
I think there’s this enormous confusion in the Manosphere with the “beta good guy” and the honorable hero who does what must be done. They are not the same thing. I want to see goodness and beauty flourish
I agree completely. Since so many men were unguided by father’s or decent male role models now for 2 generations young men are basically having to re-invent masculinity. The manosphere is the result, but it’s clearly not wholly rounded out yet. Right now we’re in the adolescent phase of the manosphere, where it’s hard to have the target audience see a broader, more rounded view of the identity of masculine men. But to their credit, they’re on the track that will eventually lead back to all of our traditional masculine values.
I always liked Michael Corleone because he was an intellectual and valued his “Family” like it was an aristocratic enclave. He acted more like a feudal king than a criminal.
The newer mafia movies are just about getting good money, hookers, and coke … which is fine, but hardly noble … and not worth paying money at the box office to go see.
I agree. A lot of this article resonated with me, but I think the usage of “villain” is just to have a catchy headline, and a play on people’s often cartoonish mental schemas of villains implanted as they grew. What the author seems to be describing more so is just a disciplined person with little craving for social interaction or long-term relationships, who would rather be in control of their life rather than let it get swung around by relationships or emotional ties. I can relate to a lot of it.
We all need to reconcile with the Shadow – our dark side, our evil twin. This complex shows up in many forms and is often projected on people we hate because they display what we despise in ourselves. Read Joseph conrad’s “The Secret Sharer,” – the captain helps the stranger and gains the respect of the crew and his command chops even though he breaks the law and deceives. Or if you’re a Star Trek TNG fan, consider the relationship between Data and Lore – it’s a pure fairytale story about the Shadow archetype. Integrating the shadow into our consciousness brings one peace and prevents unhealthy projections and outbursts of uncontrolled darkness. By embracing a little darkness inside we set the tone of the relationship and prevent darkness from controlling us.
I believe what Sharpshooter is advocating is to follow your own rational self interest and be unapologetic for who you are.
And if you fail in doing so, then so be it
Real life thugs are more like the crew in Donnie Brasco- they were essentially bums. They had, HAD, to kick back $40,000/mo to the boss (what is that today, adjusted for inflation? $100k). Those at the lowest level, in a low earning crew, got crumbs from the table. not glamorous at all…
I favour the anti-hero persona. Jason Statham for example.
I don’t think one should look to be a straight up villian but to be more Machiavellian. You need to do good but be capable of cruelty or villainous actions when it is necessary. Living your life as a villain will create a steady flow of enemies looking to take you down but being machiavellian will make you last longer in whatever path you choose e.g. chasing women, a career, starting/innovating something of value.
Eventually you make enough enemies no matter what you do. In the end the Old Executioner will take you anyway.
Almost no one with a brain, has the stomach to live like the gangsters in a Scorsese flick. It’s cathartic to suspend disbelief for a moment though.
On the other hand, you can live your life as a shmo and die of something else. We all die sometime.
You get it.
I don’t know if this has happened to anyone reading this, but I find it so hysterical when I meet people trying to replicate the bad guys you see on so many television shows and movies, that it becomes agonising and embarassing watching people reciting cheesy movie lines and manerisms of these fictional villains.
My god, the number of people I have met trying to imitate Tom Cruise from Collateral or Stringer Bell from the Wire- laughed my fucking ass off.
Also, don’t forget the number of real life cases where people literally tried to become Walter White- just google the stories.
Wanting to be a criminal is an expression of powerlessness.
Do you notice how every single mobster in the movies lives in a gated community with respectable professionals as neighbors? The thug life can’t be that great if the first thing successful criminals do is run from where they grew up and assimilate into the very society they are undermining.
Future time orientation is the difference. If a criminal is actually planning an exit…then it’s possible to dodge the consequences.
Um, no, it’s about big bucks and living well. You missed the point.
Just be yourself. Find your own style. Posers are imitators.
I think sharpshooter is endorsing a life approach that reinforces a well-rounded and balanced life view more than pursuing malevolent interests as some might interpret it.
Same. The problem is that modern society frames good, decent skills and attitudes that *good* men have had throughout history as belonging now solely to evil men. See what they did there? They make any attempts to be a masculine, top notch man into something shady and questionable.
I’d hope the author and others would stop ceding the moral high ground by allowing them this construct.
Good point. It’s a damn shame men with high aptitude, agency, and value are often thought of this way but it’s the world we live in.
C’est la vie, c’est la guerre. As long as we recognize and understand that being a manly man is not evil, who cares ultimately what they think?
That was what I thought the message of this actually was.
Yes, it’s a metaphor, but clearly some aren’t smart enough to get it.
Great article! Thanks for sharing it, and I’m very much looking forward to Part 3.
One additional trait that I think applies well is the practice of having sizable sums of cash, hidden but on-hand. I’ve never seen a villain fumble around at the grocery store with his debit card, and “go bags” are of little use if you have to stop off at the bank on your way out of town. I’m curious if you’ll include your thoughts on that in your next installment. Thanks again. Good stuff.
You’re already spilling some of the beans for part 3! Ha ha. Glad you like the article.
Yes and no. A gangster must always look toward legitimizing the operation and getting out before the heavy squad come looking.
See Councellor…Good Fellas…No Country For Old men.
You have to have an iron clad escape planned.
You can also keep it small and stay under the radar that way. Scarface’s boss was right about that.
For some reason this article made me think about Harold Godwinson and William the Bastard. Both are legendarily brave men. One grew up in a family of Brothers who betrayed each other one by one. The other was an early orphan who scraped by under threat of assassination from that time onward.
Only one got to go to Valhalla though because he died in combat.
Michael Corleone is fairly good example of a decent guy who gets dragged into hell by his family and friends.
The Plantagenet family were similar in that the bloodlines were coursing psychopathic fratricide.
Michael is a tragic hero. He has all of the noble traits of a superior man, but he is sucked into the underworld by familial circumstance and honor, not vice or greed.
Thomas Cromwell is another good example. Transformed himself from petty criminal and mercenary to the second most powerful man in England.
“Assemble a Solid Crew”
Unfortunately, finding suitably alpha men is even tougher than finding hot chicks. At least hot chicks are easily recognizable on sight.
Amen to this. I’ve found it near impossible to sell many guys I know on red pill thinking. I know there are kindred spirits out there, hence sites like this one, but they’re hard to find. Plus, many guys hide behind a facade to keep form offending people, especially women. The irony being if they embraced their true nature, they’d get more girls.
Treat it like the best evangelical religionists I know. Share by modeling. That attracts people who will want to know how to get what you’ve got. Some will accept it, some won’t. Few of those who accept it will be able to live it.
Yep completely agree. It’s so important to assemble a solid crew, but very, very hard to do so!
I befriended an ‘Outlaw’ (Korean vet) a few years back who frequented my previous place of employment. 85 years old, and yet no one ever ‘stepped’ to him (in the inner City). One day I asked him about women, marriage, etc back in his day. “I didn’t give a damn about women, I just wanted to work on race cars in California after the war” Women sense that ______ vibe, no matter your age. Just commands respect!
Speaking of race cars, check out the movie RUSH. Its about grand prix drivers back in the 70s. Best movie out of Hollywood in a long, long time.
Rush was fantastic, one of the few movies in years I’m glad I paid to see.
If the world is going where I think it’s going, a “crew” that can secure a region and roads will own it, and people just wanting a cabin to live in and food to eat will work for them.
The Marxists want to burn the world down and then rebuild it as the lord of the manor, with everybody working for their system. But they know time is running out. Technology is going to decentralize violence as surely as it decentralized information and education. Guns are the fly in the ointment.
Point 1 is enough to be successful in life. Point 2 covers society at large, and point 3 will keep you alive
This shit is weak.
“this is exactly what keeps the pussy flowing like the Nile River.”
This made me laugh my fucking ass off.
“Finding like-minded men you can trust is becoming increasingly difficult, as 95% of men in this country are certified beta boys who will do nothing but decrease your value and will sometimes intentionally drag you down with them when they see you’ve got life by the balls.”
This is annoyingly, sadly true. I have great rapport with many men in the manosphere, and some have said “they wished they had someone like me to hang out with.” I appreciate that sentiment. Most men I meet are either so DT/self-interested that they’re unfriendable (you can’t trust them – like women) or they’re just total fucking bitch boys with no backbone and massive jealousy issues and an inferiority complex which makes them want to pull men down trying to do better/be masculine (again, the feminine crab bucket mentality rears it’s ugly head within feminised men.) Ironically because of this, I tend to get on better with immigrant men rather than my fellow native men (I’m English.) Simply put immigrant men are more masculine, English men tend to act like women: indecisive, doubtful, henpecking (“amoging”) etc.
Great article, I look forward to part 3. I don’t normally have the time to read ROK as I’m always busy doing my own shit, but you did me the privilege of linking to my site, so naturally out of due respect I return that courtesy by reading your article. It was good. Get your own blog dude if you come up with ideas often.
With regards to the feminized male mentality, it’s 100000% true. My 2 best friends I’ve known for 17 and 20 years. We’ve had friends come and go from our group but the core 3 have remained the same. The others more or less eliminated themselves with their shenanigans and drama. It’s easy for us to attract other men to our group but once they find out about our red pill beliefs they go running for the hills. Finding a crew takes a lifetime and to be honest, most of us don’t have friends like this. I’m very fortunate to have men I’ve bonded with whom I can also trust. We’re an endangered species to be sure.
Part 3’s going to be pretty raw so be ready. Keep up the good work on your blog, man. I read (and re-read) it regularly because you drop rock solid knowledge consistently.
I agree with you, but what is “amoging?”
I am done with this website.
That’s a bit Harsh. Maybe submit your own article – I’m writing a bit on depth psychology. Might be interesting.
Nah, let the pussy go. Don’t let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya!
Mountains of praise be forever upon Machiavelli, Nietzsche, Ayn Rand and Robert Greene!
If you don’t have a crew by now, don’t even bother forming one. Or if you decide to, know that you won’t see the benefits of it until years down the line.
I’ve got a group of friends I’ve been hanging with for 20+ years. The
newest member of that group? 11 years. They’re strong bonds that forge
over time. Plus, how much do you trust anyone you’ve known a few months?
Not to say that anyone *needs* a crew (would Steve McQueen need one? Robert Mitchum? etc.), but I have to question the life choices a man has made if, after all the years he’s spent on this planet, he wakes up and realizes, “I need a crew.” If that’s you: what the fuck have you been doing with your life?
Lone wolves like that can still have long time allies they call upon who are usually other lone wolves. Think Patrick Swayze in Roadhouse. However, you are right. If they have “crew” they are usually henchmen, not equals.
Looking forward to part three!
I used to be a bad guy. Sold alot of bad things and hurt alot of people. Not worth it.
The new age bad guy isnt like the old ones to be honest. I use to sell some things and i’ve done some things that would be frowned upon trying to make a living. It’s not worth it and the stress on your mind, and for those of you who are spiritual, soul is immense. The idea of it is cool and i had some wild times for sure. But there is no end to the frowned upon things you have to do to get by. It is the equivalent to working a 9-5 check to check but instead its 24 hours a day 7 days a week
Disquis spazzed out so I dont think this was posted. Fortunately I copy and pasted.
My older brother and I always preferred the villains. And I think most young boys gravitate more towards them when left to it. Which may not be a good or bad thing.
Mother was of course, being a mom, perturbed by this but her mom explained that it was healthy. It allowed us to be bad vicariously, and the fact is that villains are usually more interesting. And in Disney movies they always have a better song. It’s hard not to be taken in.
Unless the bad guy is an effete older man and the protagonist a plucky young street urchin, the bad guy will always have his allure over young boys. Because they exemplify agency, being who you are without apology. Nothing is more masculine than that, even if taken to destructive ends. But we live in an age where any masculinity is suppressed with ritalin or schoolmarms.
Also, funny thing. The bad guys fangirls like are usually pathetic crybabies with a boastful side. Peacocking game and triggers their mother hen instincts to console the bad boy.
I was recently called a “Psychopath” and a “Mechanic” at Red Pill Reddit for a recent post I had posted on there. It was one of my first ever text posts that I had made available to that site so I can get some more eyes and discussion on my own blog.

When I first seen those two comments about the recent link above me I at first didn’t understand. Why does this make me seem like a “Psychopath” and a “Mechanic”? This world has you get older does not become easier or more colorful. From the rich to the poor there is always a battle you must go through. Especially if you are a man. There is always another challenge you must chop down. If not, you WILL be chopped down and ran over while other more faster and experienced drivers come through ready to pass you as simple minded brains fragments exposed road kill. Period.
Therefore you HAVE to have the mindset of a man ready to do as you please in order to survive out here. You have to have a mindset of a man with both eyes open and be aware as you can be. Play the fool once is acceptable once sometimes but, twice or three times? Good luck.
But then I understood why I was called these names. Some people simply don’t want to hear about the technical side of life. Most people, men included, just don;t want to deal with another alternative on how you can view life. Some want to follow the beaten path and do what was expected of them. Some don;t want to read another version of life and instead want to keep reading the same good guy script over and over again. Good luck to them.
My belief is, as you get older its time to put childish shit to rest. Its best to go through this life with the mindset of a villain. I rather be seen as cold blooded and mean than a person that can be taken advantage of it. I’ll take being called a “Psycopath” and “Mechanic” than being seen as a push over and pussy. The life of a villain for these days especially when dealing with women is a must.

Their mind set is all over the place and fucked up. Take that risk going into a relationship as more goody two shows if you want. I’ll be over here surviving and keeping one eye open. My respect matters to me more than trying to make her HAPPPPPPPPPPPPPY

You also get it.
What a pleasure to read. Thank you for the insight.
How about men stop framing their character and personalities to accommodate easy women? Engaging in degenerate or sociopathic behavior because that’s what some bar sluts find attractive is a losing proposition. There’s eventually a point where you have to take a stand as a man and retain your principles and character, even if it means you have to lessen the amount of female affection you receive. There is constant talk about pedestalization of women and how bad it is, and the ultimate pedestalization is completely shifting who you are to get brief access to some thug-loving broad’s slime cavern.
“some thug-loving broad’s slime cavern” LOL This shit is sooooo damn funny!! I’m stealing that one. Had me dying laughing. Cavern?! Really!? LOL Good shit.
It was funny, even though I predict he’s a bit of a shmuck.
You don’t get it. Broads are one reward for him. The point is living life on your own terms and not giving a fuck because you don’t have to. Now that we’ve established that, you can go back to your pedastalizing and oneitis, white knight.
A friend of mine told me I reminded him of the Frollo he saw in the Disney adaptation of The Hunchback of the Notre-Dame. So I watched that film, and it turns out I did sympathise with Frollo the most out of all characters. His actions may not be entirely clean, but his motives are usually sensible and he’s the only character who sees the big picture.
He’s doing what he thinks needs to be done to keep order in Paris. He’s in charge of keeping the city safe and orderly, and that’s what he does. And he’s not doing a bad job, either – the Paris you see in that film is peaceful and quiet, since the worst things people have to worry about are gypsies stealing small change and people wandering around festivals after drinking a little too much. It’s only when the gypsies and his useless foster son conspire against him that any real evil comes to Paris.
Practice what you preach! Being a villain, outlaw or wise guy isn’t about writing weekly whimsy articles on ROK about it illustrated with “hollywood bad boys” to educate whiny beta’s. Nor do real gangsters tweet about it. What a sad show.
A fast motorcycle built for two (I recommend the Kawasaki Concours14, since that’s what works for me). A concealed carry handgun license, a Kimber match-grade .45 1911. Leather jackets, a few lines of coke, run your own business. Mine’s end-user phones and IT, a business that puts you in contact with a LOT of broads. Man, I love broads. Broads are the point of all of it. Nothing is worth anything unless it leads to pussy. Look, Donovan ain’t saying to go rob banks or stick your weapon in someone’s face for their wallet. He’s saying build enough balls so you don’t even give a FUCK what anyone thinks because when you’ve reached a certain point with your living, with your entertainment, with life, what are they gonna do about it? They can’t fire you, they can’t constructively fuck with you and in the end, they can’t even catch you. Broads love that frame of mind in a guy.
It’s risky shit, all of it, but you do feel like you’re alive. I was raised by a pretty tough guy, my Pop, I went and danced with F-14s and A6 Intruders on flight decks in the 70s and early 80s, so after that shit, I had a head start on who gives a fuck. When I got a broad on the back of my bike and we pass by some poor slob with two kids in the car and a fat, hideous wife reading him the riot act, her smart phone in hand, I laugh my ass off. I have a little sympathy for him and a lot for the kids, but I laugh and thank God every day that he ain’t me.
Donovan is totally correct in every way. But you don’t flip a switch to get that way, you have to own all this in your gut. Those that don’t bitch that they can’t.
Jim, you get it.
nice.
The “cooking / criminal mastermind” link is a bit of a stretch for me.
Though I do see the advantage in having the skill, I agree it probably didn’t belong in this article.
