I was a miserable BetaOrbiter to a girl whilst at university . We were friends in that I did all the usual orbiter stuff and pined for and pedestalised her . She obviously fucked her way through legions of better looking guys and cried to me when they dropped her for hotter options . This was a painful time for me and a dose of TRP would have helped immensely . However this was the late 1990 s I ' m old and decrepit now and Style hadn ' t even met Mystery . Through the wonders of Facebook I ' ve kept in touch and she has settled down into an LTR . Here ' s the funny bit . The guy looks almost exactly like me . If I hadn ' t found the Red Pill I would have probably had some sort of mental breakdown on seeing this . Why couldn ' t she have found me attractive back then if this guy is who she likes now ? Waaahhh . Now I can laugh hard and heartily at the situation and realise that she was never going to give her best years to me when Chad , Brad and their taller , socially adept mates were available . I get to avoid the downhill years as the HAES and feminist ideas are obviously ramping up and I ' m still in my uphill years only just .
