TABLE OF CONTENTS
SECTION I: RED PILL TERMS
ACCOUNTABILITY:
The quality or state of being accountable; an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility or to account for oneâs actions (or the actions of oneâs family unit). With accountability comes responsibility, and with responsibility comes authority. As men, we are responsible for our women, and this puts us in a position of headship in our relationships.
âWith great power comes great responsibility.â
â Peter Parker principle
(See Headship)
AGREE AND AMPLIFY (AA):
If you arenât a natural at deflecting congruence tests of all varieties, then you must teach yourself. A system must be devised for those men not blessed with the quickness of mind and aloofness of temperament to handle those tests like a champ. The concept is simple: Agree & Amplify. When you are hit with a congruence test, agree with your woman and then amplify your agreement. Here are some examples:
GIRL: âI think we should take this slower.â
YOU: âYou read my mind! Can I pencil you in next month?â
GIRL: âI really feel we arenât compatible.â
YOU: âYouâre right, weâre totally incompatible. I like to wake up at 8:30, and you get up at 8:15. Who can live with that?!â
GIRL: [Calls you back two days after you left her a message.]
YOU: âOnly two days later? Wow, youâre slipping. A true player waits a year before calling back.â
GIRL: âDonât you have any ambition in life?â
YOU: âZero. Could you be a dear and hook up my feeding tube?â
ALL WOMEN ARE LIKE THAT (AWALT):
In direct opposition to “not all women are like that,” the assertion that “all women are like that” states that females are hard-wired to respond to certain situations in a certain way. To the extent that women differ from one another (socially, economically, and culturally), it is not a statement that every woman will exert the same behavior under the same circumstances; instead, it is that all women have the same hypergamous tendencies influencing them, even though some are better at controlling these tendencies than others.
(See Not All Women Are Like That [NAWALT])
ALPHA:
A socially dominant man who displays high-value traits that are attractive to women. Alphas live in their own reality and have their own internal point of originâthey do not sublimate themselves to others’ judgments or expectations except when their own agenda directs them to do so. “Alpha” can also describe certain behaviors or motives common among alpha men; alternately, an alpha may refer to a male’s tall and muscular body type that all females (without exception) are irresistibly attracted to. Any “alpha” who meets these attributes and fails to find sex was never really an alpha at all.
(See Authenticity; Frame; Mental Point Of Origin; Totality Of Presence)
ALPHA FUX/BETA BUX (AF/BB) (AKA ALPHA SEED/BETA NEED):
The competing hypergamous imperatives of a woman’s dualistic mating strategy. Alphas are sexually attractive to her; betas are not. Betas willingly offer life comforts; alphas do not. Long-term, if a woman cannot get an alpha to commit to marriage, she will settle with a dutiful beta and offer him sex in exchange for his provisioning, protection, and parental investment; but because she does not crave sex with him the way she would with an alpha, these relationships usually end up subliminally platonic.
(See Dualistic Mating Strategy; Hypergamy)
ALPHA MALE OF GROUP (AMOG):
The alpha male of the group (AMOG) is just that: the most alpha male in any group. Therefore, the AMOG is the top pick of the pack and the object of female attraction. Sometimes found in verb form as “I AMOGed him” for “Alpha Male’d the Other Guy,” where a man takes over as the dominant “alpha male” of a group.
ALPHA WIDOW:
A woman (typically but not necessarily post-wall) who has been abandoned by an Alpha male. She holds all men to this standard even if her sexual market value has tanked due to age or children. No matter how great her new man is, if he is anything lesser than her previous alpha, she will perceive him as failing to meet the standard that was previously set. Essentially, a damaged woman accustomed to a tier of man she can no longer attract.
(See Dualistic Mating Strategy; Hypergamy; Post-wall)
AMUSED MASTERY (AM):
An attitude of Amused Mastery implies to a woman that by virtue of your maturity and/or authority, youâve âseen it all beforeâ; you see through her actions and sub communications, you understand the subtext behind them, and itâs amusing to you. Youâll play along, but only so far as to cleverly poke fun at her attempts to get you to qualify to her. It means you never take her seriously, like a bratty younger sister, but also with the presence of mind of a senior Alpha male who knows her game before she plays it. This amused mastery aids your dominance, frame, and makes you appear confident.
(See Frame; Mental Point Of Origin)
ANTI-SLUT DEFENSE (ASD):
A female strategy designed to offer women plausible deniability and keep from seeming sexually promiscuous. ASD is used by women to abstain themselves from responsibility during a situation where there is a likelihood of sex/intimacy. Often ASD will come in the form of a woman rejecting your attempts to kiss her or get physical with her, or it might come in the form of her appearing (or trying to appear) disinterested in you. A woman who demonstrates ASD behavior does not want to be judged by the people in her environment or by her friends the next dayâshe wants to be able to claim, âIt just happened.â This judgment can come directly from her friends or even from you. In the latter case, she does not want to present herself to you as âeasyâ or âsluttyâ. This is because she wants you to like her and view her positively and not judge her or hold her in a negative light.
APPROACH ANXIETY:
A term used to describe a man who feels highly nervous, awkward, and distressed during (or even before) the act of approaching and getting to know women he has never met. While the anxiety often derives from a greater social phobia, approach anxiety derives from a man’s belief that he is very likely to be rejected by the woman of his desire in unpleasant and harsh ways. In most cases, a man who tries to overcome this particular anxiety may experience symptoms such as rapid heart rate, clammy hands, excessive body sweating, thought paralysis (i.e. ‘going blank’ or ‘freezing up’), rapid speech, uncharacteristic stuttering/nervous ticks, and many other forms of physical or mental reactions to high stress.
(See Cold Approach; Confidence)
AUTHENTICITY:
The quality or condition of being authentic, trustworthy, or genuine. All your talk is âreal talk.â You say what you mean, and you mean what you say. Your thoughts, words, and actions are always consistent and congruent. Your yes means yes, and your no means no (Matt. 5:37). You are comfortable in your own skin and never apologize for being a man.
(See Confidence; Frame; Game; Mental Point Of Origin)
AUTOMATON (AKA BOT):
A man who has been socially conditioned by the mainstream narrative and who can no longer think for himself; a mindless drone incapable of discernment; an unquestioning follower, not a creative thinker. These are the useless “eaters” of society.
“He is more machine now than man.”
â Obi-Wan Kenobi
(See Binary Thinking; Discernment; On The Spectrum; Slave Mind)
AVERAGE FRUSTRATED CHUMP (AFC):
A man who is unsuccessful with women (i.e., a beta, incel, nice guy, or any other male who wants a relationship and sex but isn’t getting it).
(See Beta; Captain Save-A-Ho; Nice Guy; Orbiter; Poindexter; Simp; White Knight)
BAD BOY (AKA JERK; A-HOLE):
A bad boy is an alpha who is a “jerk” to females, being keyed into the revelation that women will reward him with sex and attention despite (or, as some would have it, because of) him being a jerk. Women’s perceived preference for bad boys is common among self-described betas, nice guys, and incels, who see this dynamic as the cause of their sexual failures with females. But, little do these men know, the bad boyâin his unapologetic authenticity, masculinity, and self-masteryâactually gives women exactly what they want.
(See Nice Guy)
BALANCE OF PROBABILITIES:
Presuming something on a balance of probabilities means that it is more likely than not to have occurred. It means that it is probable, i.e., the probability that some event happens is more than 50%. So mathematically, proof on a balance of probabilities is a 50.1% likelihood of something having occurred or potentially occurring.
A lawyer I once knew explained it this way. You see the scales of justice. They are evenly balanced. Both sides are the same height. But if one side has the weight of a feather added to it, causing it to go down and the other side to go up. Now that side with the weight of a feather has won. Proof greater than that is not required. Simply a balancing of both sides seeing which side has the stronger proof.
(See Binary Thinking; Can’t See The Forest For The Trees; Discernment; Exception Proves The Rule; On The Spectrum; Outlier)
BETA:
A man who exhibits traits of sublimation and provision: either providing time, attention, or resources to women or allowing their judgments and expectations of him to define his identity, behaviors, and sense of self-worth. Beta traits display low value to women if they are too strong or too early in the interaction. Beta can describe individual behaviors or men with an overwhelming amount of beta traits (as opposed to alpha). Alternatively, beta may refer to particular physical shortcomings that women find exceptionally unattractive (e.g., poor posture, short, fat, bald, etc.).
(See Average Frustrated Chump; Captain Save-A-Ho; Nice Guy; Orbiter; Poindexter; Simp; White Knight)
BINARY THINKING:
A one-dimensional mode of thinking. In this worldview, everything is broken down into simple binary; it’s all a series of ones and zeros (black and white, Pepsi/Coke, republican/democrat, left/right, this way/that way, etc.). Gradiations, variables, and critical thinking do not exist. Everything is a false left-right paradigm.
Example: “women only like men who are physically attractive. I’m not physically attractive. Ergo, I’ll never attract a woman.”
(See Automaton; Balance Of Probabilities; Black Pill; Can’t See The Forest For The Trees; Discernment; Exception Proves The Rule; On The Spectrum; Outlier; Slave Mind)
BLACK PILL:
A series of pessimistic ideas most prominent in the incelosphere. It is a fatalistic version of the Red Pill with biological determinism and hopelessness at its core. This ideology boldly proclaims that game and self-improvement are a scam; instead, the most crucial factor in attracting women is looks and physical traits. Black Pill adherents claim if you aren’t six feet tall with a Brad Pitt hairline, hunter eyes, Superman jawline, and neanderthal brow ridge, you will never succeed with women, regardless of self-development, affluence, and game. Therefore, you should save yourself the effort and heartacheâand give up. This mistaken assumption stems from the solipsistic belief that men’s and women’s inherent sexual preferences, tastes, and attraction mechanisms are identicalâthey’re not.
“Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will.”
â Master Yoda
(See Binary Thinking; Discernment; Incel; Reprobate)
BLANK SLATE EUQALISM:
Blank slate equalism proclaims that men and women are inherently the same, shaped only by their education, environment, and experiencesâwhich are externalâas well as material and/or immaterial influences. This ideology is patently false. Men and women are fundamentally differentâbiologically, neurologically, behaviorally, emotionally, chemically, and sexually. They are not equal; they are complementary.
(See Complementarianism; Egalitarianism)
BLUE PILL:
A manâs default state. It is the path of conformity with societyâs expectations; the state of being unaware of the problems engendered by society, women, and the sin condition. Blue Pill adherents live in a perpetual state of âblissfulâ ignorance, and their worldview is generally one of Disney princess fairy tale idealism. The term is a reference to The Matrix, in which taking the Blue Pill means remaining part of the sheeple by holding conventional views and believing nothing is wrong, while taking the Red Pill means waking up.
(See Black Pill; Red Pill; Unplugging)
BODY COUNT:
The number of men a woman has been defiled by. Women often lie about this; they typically only “remember” the good sexual experiences and forget the bad ones (random one night stands, bathroom stalls, hot girl summers, etc.). A general rule of thumb is to take whatever number a woman gives you and triple it.
(See Carousel; Dick In A Jar; Harlot; Meter Man; Monkey Branching; 304; Tom, Dick, And Harry)
BREAK PHASE:
Generally, the Break Phase comes at or about the time of a young womanâs senior year (or shortly after) of high school when sheâs forced into a conflict between continuing a monogamous relationship she began in her teenage years, and severing it as college or a simple want for âfreedomâ looms closer as she approaches young adulthood, graduation and possibly moving away from her home for an indefinite period. Statistically, the girlfriend you expected to build a Disney-story life with will break up with you as her options expand while yours constrict (due to prioritizing her goals above your own).
(See Epiphany Phase; Hypergamy; Party Yearys; Wall)
BRIFFAULT’S LAW:
Briffault’s Law holds that “the female, not the male, determines all the conditions of the animal family. Where the female can derive no benefit from association with the male, no such association takes place.” The law was named after Robert Briffault, a British surgeon and social anthropologist (1874â1948).
CALIBRATION:
The ability to quickly adapt to a woman’s vibe on a moment-to-moment basis; actively noticing and gauging a woman’s interest/response to your words (verbal) and actions (nonverbal) and then calibrating (tuning) your game based on those responses. Proper calibration requires a developed sense of empathy and a high social IQ.
(See Context; Covert Communication; Discernment)
CAN’T SEE THE FOREST FOR THE TREES:
A man who is unable to “see the forest for the trees” suffers tunnel vision and can’t see the “big picture.” He exhibits difficulty understanding, dissecting, and appreciating a larger situation, problem, etc., because he considers only a few parts of it. He is too focused on the minutia of a problem to look at the situation as a whole: “The congressman became so involved in the wording of his bill that he couldn’t see the forest for the trees; he did not realize that the bill could never pass.”
(See Balance Of Probabilities; Binary Thinking; Discernment; Exception Proves The Rule; On The Spectrum; Outlier)
CAPTAIN SAVE-A-HO:
Rescues women and single mothers who have made previously terrible choices. Playing the role of Prince Charming, he pays her bills, credit card debts, and student loans and promotes himself as a âbetter manâ for doing so while allowing himself to be exploited as an ATM and human wallet.
(See Average Frustrated Chump; Beta; Nice Guy; Orbiter; Poindexter; Simp; White Knight)
CAROUSEL:
The period in a woman’s life (roughly between 18-27) where she successfully exploits her sexual market value and maximizes her hypergamous tendencies by having sex with as many alphas as possible, after which she hits the Wall, panics, and attempts to marry a faithful beta.
(See Body Count; Chad; Dick In A Jar; Harlot; Meter Man; Monkey Branching; 304; Tom, Dick, And Harry)
CHAD (AKA GIGA-CHAD):
The man, the myth, the legend. Chad is a placeholder name for the stereotypical alpha male who is a natural with women. He is genetically gifted, more attractive than you, and his privy member is bigger. He has always had incredible success with women without effort. “Good girls” who would never dream of performing “degrading” sexual acts would perform them with relish for Giga-Chad. When she says, “I don’t do that,” she really means I don’t do that with you.
(See Alpha; Genuine Desire; Privy Member; Tyrone)
CHOOSING SIGNALS:
A scenario in which a woman shows a man overt signs of interest as a signal or invitation for the man to make the first move.
(See Genuine Desire)
COLD APPROACH:
A Cold approach occurs when you approach and engage a woman you have no prior social connection with; unlike with a warm approach, you’re meeting a complete and total stranger without even the “friend-of-a-friend” buffer to ease your way. Often accompanied by approach anxiety.
(See Approach Anxiety; Confidence; Warm Approach)
COMPLEMENTARIANISM:
A theological/Red Pill view that men and women have different but complementary functions, roles, and responsibilities in marriage, religious leadership, and daily life. Masculinity and femininity are ordained by God, and men and women are created to be complements of each other, not equals. The gender roles found in the Bible are purposeful and meaningful distinctions that, when applied in the home, church, and society at large, promote the mental, spiritual, and relational health of both men and women. Embracing the divinely ordained roles of men and women benefits all of humanity, from the micro to the macro.
(See Blank Slate Equalism; Egalitarianism)
CONFIDENCE:
Competence leads to accomplishments which leads to confidence. Confidence means feeling sure of yourself and your abilitiesânot in an arrogant way, but in a realistic, secure way. Confidence isn’t about feeling superior to others; it’s a quiet inner knowledge that you’re capable. Confident men are comfortable in their own skin.
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
â Phil. 4:6-7
(See Authenticity; Frame; Game; Mental Point Of Origin)
CONGRUENCE TEST (AKA SH*T TEST/FITNESS TEST):
A statement or question from a woman intended to gauge your level of congruence and/or alpha traits to see whether you have any backbone and whether or not you are the man you claim to be. In other words, do your actions match your words?
(See Authenticity; Confidence; Frame; Growing Pains; Mental Point Of Origin)
CONTENTIOUS WOMAN (AKA CONTEMPT):
The âContentious Womanâ mentioned in Prov. 21:9, 19 is the woman who insists on being a difficult person for her man to live with. She is never satisfied and is a constant nagâhis efforts are never good enough. She constantly browbeats him and starts arguments absolutely impossible for him to win. Nothing this man says will be relevant because it isnât about him giving her the correct answer. Itâs about one thing: control.
“It is better to live in a corner of a roof Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.”
â Prov. 21:9, NASB 1995
(See Jezebel Spirit; Red Flag)
CONTEXT:
The set of circumstances or facts that surround a particular event or situation; the interrelated conditions in which female attraction exists or occurs.
(See Calibration; Discernment)
COVERT COMMUNICATION (AKA MIXED-SIGNALS; WOMANESE):
An indirect and often ambiguous form of [female] communication with a high priority on subtext. More often than not, women tell the complete truth with their mannerisms and behaviorsâthey just communicate it in a fashion that men canât or won’t understand. Whatâs not said is just as important as what is. Men communicate overtly; women communicate covertly. Men convey information; women convey feelings. Men prioritize content and information; women prioritize context and emotion. With men, the goal is progress; with women, itâs process. As men, we get frustrated because women communicate differently than we do.
(See Complementarianism)
COVERT CONTRACT:
An unspoken deal with terms the other party would never agree to if they were fully disclosed. Most frequently used by “nice” guys, simps, and beta males attempting to negotiate genuine desire: “If I do a favor for her, she’ll go out with me.”
In marriage, an example would be, “If I do the dishes and mow the grass, she’ll want to have sex with me.”
These favors never come from the heart and are disingenuous at bestâsomething is always expected in return (typically sex, romance, or intimacy).
(See Beta; Nice Guy; Simp; White Knight)
CUCK:
Short for Cuckold. A man who allows other men to have sexual relations with his woman and is potentially forced to raise the resulting offspring. Most often used as a broad derogatory term for a guy being willingly taken advantage of in a relationship, not necessarily pertaining to the precise definition of cuckoldry.
(See Beta; Soy)
CUTTING OF AT THE KNEES:
When Christian preachers lambast men from the pulpit trying to get them to man up in front of their wife and children. This example of disrespect towards husbands and fathers may increase the contentiousness of the husband’s wife and children.
(See Milquetoast)
DARK TRIAD (DT):
A combination of three personality traits: narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy. An effective (but not recommended) short-term sexual strategy for men.
(See Bad Boy)
DEMONSTRATION OF HIGHER VALUE (DVH):
Any attribute, sub-communication, behavior, or story that improves your sexual market value in the eyes of a woman.
DEMONSTRATION OF LOWER VALUE (DLV):
Any attribute, story, sub-communication, or behavior (including showing too much interest in a target) that decreases your sexual market value in the eyes of a woman.
DESCRIPTIVE:
When studying the Red Pill (and Bible), it is crucial to determine whether the particular teaching is descriptive or prescriptive. Is the lesson describing something (this is how men/women behave in “x” situation [observational]), or is it prescribing something (this is how men/women should behave in “x” situation [behavioral])? This distinction is critical. If a lesson or maxim is simply describing something, with nothing said in the positive or negative about that something, then it is descriptive and should not be considered something we are expected to do. When a teaching or maxim only describes something but is interpreted as prescribing something, it can lead to errant thinking and behavior.
(See Discernment; Ideology; Praxiology; Prescriptive; Red Pill)
DICK IN A JAR (AKA BOX OF C****):
A woman’s contingency plan; a collection of “backup boys” who are on perpetual standby and eager to be called upon whenever she needs attention, validation, emotional support, or revenge sex. Can include male “friends,” orbiters, simps, an ex, Chad, or the meter man. A shoulder to cry on becomes a boner to ride on. Attractive women are never single.
(See Body Count; Carousel; Chad; Harlot; Meter Man; Monkey Branching; Orbiter; Simp; 304; Tom, Dick, And Harry)
DISCERNMENT (AKA PRUDENCE):
A spiritual gift; the ability to see, recognize, and rightly divide truth. Requires sound judgment and honest self-reflection when considering yourself, others, women, and especially God’s Word. A discerning mind demonstrates wisdom and insight beyond what is seen and heard. Separating feelings from facts is a critical component of proper discernment.
“âI, Wisdom, live together with good judgment. I know where to discover knowledge and discernment.”
â Prov. 8:12, NLT
(See Automaton; Balance Of Probabilities; Binary Thinking; Can’t See The Forest For The Trees; Context; Exception Proves The Rule; On The Spectrum; Outlier; Slave Mind)
DISCIPLINE:
Discipline (i.e., determination, grit, fortitude, self-control) is the practice of delaying gratification. It is the practice of doing what you donât want to do when you donât want to do itâchoosing between what you want now and what you want most. It is doing what you should do instead of what you want to do; a habit of being honest, hard-working, motivated and encouraged while performing any task.
(See Mission)
DISQUALIFICATION (DQ):
The action of disqualifying a woman or the state of being disqualified by the woman as a potential suitor.
Used by women as an IOD (indication of disinterest).
Used by PUAs as a method of disarming ASD (anti-slut defense) by appearing to be disinterested.
(See Anti-Slut Defense; Push-Pull)
DREAD (AKA DREAD GAME):
Efforts a man makes to trigger his woman’s sense of preselection by openly getting attention from other women. Soft Dread is similar but less overtâthe attention doesn’t even need to be real. Creating the possibility for female attention is enough to get the hamster going. (If you start toning up your physique, she knows that other women will find that attractive without having to actually see other women displaying interest.) The purpose of using Dread is to get your target (wife, girlfriend, plate) to step up her game and better complement your life to compete with other interested women.
DUALISTIC MATING STRATEGY:
Used either as a synonym for “Alpha Fux, Beta Bux” or as a similar concept referring specifically to the fact that women desire a unicorn of a man who is both sexy lover and dutiful providerâhe satisfies both sides of the AF/BB equationâbut rarely is this dualistic satisfaction met in the same individual. Women, therefore, must choose Alpha Seed or Beta Need. Such is the female dilemma. When women are young and attractive, they typically prioritize Alpha Seed (physicality/genetics). However, as they age and approach the wall, they are generally forced to consolidate on Beta Need (provisioning, protection, and parental investment).
(See Alpha Fux/Beta Bux; Epiphany Phase; Hypergamy; Party Years; Wall)
DUDE HUMOR:
Like locker-room talk, dude humor is tasteless humor that is hilarious among dudes, but women find it repulsive, immature, and generally disgusting. When women respond to dude humor (often in a neutral, unamused manner), men mistake their half-hearted participation for genuine interest/engagement, dial it up to “11,” and start going ham with suggestive and crude humor that only dudes can appreciateâand then they get ghosted shortly after and wonder what went wrong. This behavior is try hard; don’t be this guy.
A variation of dude humor occurs when men put each other down and make fun of each other. But, as men, it’s just how we relate. Often we joke and laugh together when putting each other down. But it’s all in good fun. Women hate this uniquely masculine dynamic because they live in a clown world where they always try to artificially build each other up (even when they have to lie to do it).
(See Try Hard)
EGALITARIANISM:
The “Christian” belief that there is no male or female in Christ. Men and women are so-called “equals. Thus, the marital roles and responsibilities are moot. Egalitarians don’t like husbands as the head of marriage, nor do they like wives to submit to their husbands. Egalitarianism is not biblicalâpatriarchy is.
(See Blank Slate Equalism; Complementarianism; Milquetoast; Patriarchy)
EMOTIONALISM:
Emotionalism is when a man allows his feelings and emotions (feminine characteristics) to supersede logic and reason (masculine sensibilities). Anything a man does to change the way he feels that isn’t logical is, by default, emotional. Emotionalism leads to irrational rationalizations.
EPIPHANY PHASE:
A parallel to menâs feminine-redefined midlife crisis, the epiphany phase commonly occurs in women between 28 and 31. This is the phase of a woman’s maturity when she acknowledges her diminishing capacity to compete intrasexually for the attentions of the Alpha men of her Party Years. This prompts a convenient moral crisis for women in which they reprioritize the prerequisite traits that qualify as âattractiveâ in a man and attempt to turn over a new leaf by changing up their behaviors to align with this new persona they create for themselves. Often this is when they’ll claim to have “found” God.
(See Break Phase; Carousel; Hypergamy; Party Years; Wall)
EXCEPTION PROVES THE RULE:
The phrase âthe exception proves the ruleâ means that if something is an exception (an outlier), it demonstrates why the rule exists. In other words, the exception proves why we have a rule. Typically used to describe a situation, fact, or circumstance that is generally true on a balance of probabilities. This is significant because, as men, we should strive to operate on probabilities, not possibilities.
Example: the statement that men are better drivers than women is generally true. Are there exceptions? Of course. But the general truth still holds; therefore, the statement is accurate, and we need not worry about the exceptions.
âTo every rule there is an exceptionâand an idiot ready to demonstrate it.â
â Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration
(See Balance Of Probabilities; Binary Thinking; Can’t See The Forest For The Trees; Discernment; Not All Women Are Like That (NAWALT); On The Spectrum; Outlier)
FEMININE IMPERATIVE:
The feminine imperative, deriving from biological imperative, is a woman’s innate drive to maximize her sexual fitness and options to secure provisioning, protection, and parental investment from the most “alpha” male possible. Sperm first, then resources.
(See Gynocentric Social Order; Hypergamy)
FRAME:
The context in which something is perceived. A manâs frame is his internal point of origin that defines how he perceives the world. If othersâ opinions and judgments determine a manâs perception of the world, he is in their frame. If other people interact with the man on his terms according to his perceptions, then they operate within his frame, and he exerts âframe control.â Maintaining frame is often cited as the essential aspect of Alpha behavior.
“Like a muddied spring or a polluted fountain is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked… Let your âYesâ be âYes,â and your âNo,â âNo.â For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.”
â Prov. 25:26, ESV; Matt. 5:37, NKJV
(See Authenticity; Confidence; Game; Mental Point Of Origin)
FRIENDZONE (AKA LET’S JUST BE FRIENDS [LJBF]):
A psychological constraint a man places himself that precludes him from interacting with a woman romantically because she will not reciprocate his romantic feelings. While she might tell him, “I just want to be friends,” the man’s acceptance of this conclusion as the definition of their relationship is evidence of him operating in her frame. Of course, “let’s just be friends” is usually a covert way for a female to tell a male that she doesn’t want to date or have sex with him, whether or not she actually wants to be friends with him.
“The friendzone is a psychological construct where you place yourself when you behave like a friend with the person you like because you donât have the courage to behave otherwise.”
â Wil Aime
(See Beta Male; Orbiter; Simp)
FUNDAMENTAL:
An original or primary source: a fundamental idea; forming a necessary base or core; of central importance.
Some ideas are dependent on other ideas. The more ideas are dependent on a given idea, the more fundamental that idea is.
(See Discernment)
GAME:
A strong, confident mental frame with a loosely based set of behaviors and social techniques specifically adapted to increase a man’s overall attractiveness and desirability.
âYou have to learn how to talk and not be a nerd. You canât be nervous. You must watch your energy; you canât be too thirsty. You must know how to say the right things and lead the conversation⊠I have just described game.â
â The God Pill
(See Authenticity; Confidence; Frame; Game; Mental Point Of Origin; Totality Of Presence)
GENUINE DESIRE (AKA GENUINE BURNING DESIRE):
Genuine desire is something a woman must come toâor be led toâof her own free will and volition. You can force a woman by threat or bribe to comply with behaving in a desired manner, but you cannot make her want to behave that way. For example, a prostitute will sleep with you for an exchange; it doesnât mean she wants to. Negotiated desire only leads to obligated compliance, which never leads to genuine desire.
(See Totality Of Presence)
GIRD UP YOUR LOINS (AKA BONE UP; NUT UP; SAC UP):
To prepare oneself to face or contend with something; prepare oneself for something difficult or challenging; to man up.
(See 1 Pet. 1:13; Job 38:3, 40:7; 2 Kings 4:29, 9:1; Jer. 1:17)
GOD PILL:
A rapidly growing movement of Christian Red Pill men on a mission to level up their mental, emotional, social, physical, and spiritual fitness, while harmonizing Red Pill truth with their faith and convictions, to become the men their fathers never taught them to be.
“Success leaves clues, and I want to be for you what I never had but so desperately needed: a strong, positive masculine influence to help unravel the mystery of women, master the challenges of being a man, amplify your walk with the Lord, and teach you everything you wish you knew sooner.”
â The God Pill
GROWING PAINS:
Similar to a sh*t test, Relationship “Growing Pains” are tests a woman throws at you during the courtship phase to test your resolve as she vies for relational position and authority. During this phase, she’s going to probâand probe deepâto see what you’re made of as a man and what she can get away with. She’s testing to determine whether or not you are the real deal, whether or not your actions match your words, whether or not you mean what you say, and say what you meanâbut once she verifies you’re authentic, congruent and mean business, she’ll enthusiastically relinquish all authority and resistance and fall happily into your frame.
âYou will desire to control your husband, but he will rule over you.â
â Gen. 3:16, NLT
(See Authenticity; Confidence; Congruence Test; Frame; Mental Point Of Origin)
GYNOCENTRIC SOCIAL ORDER:
The tendency to place the female or feminine viewpoint/imperative and experience at the center of a society or culture. Feminism is a symptom of a gynocentric social order.
âIn a Gynocentric social order, the only socially correct experience is the female experience. Ergo, men are simply âunperfectedâ or defective women because their experience is, by default, a disingenuous act.â
â Rollo Tomassi
(See Feminine Imperative; Hypergamy; The Powers)
HAIR-LEGGED MAN:
A man who is masculine to the core, unapologetically authentic, respected by women, and believes in the patriarchy. He rules his house with a (loving) iron fist. Isn’t afraid of hard work, trial, or adversity. Doesn’t tolerate ill behavior toward himself or his loved ones; takes crap from no one.
(See Authenticity; Frame; Mental Point Of Origin)
HARD NO:
A hard no, coming from a female, is the kind of no that actually means no, as opposed to all the kinds that don’t. A rare instance of overt female communication, it is critically important to distinguish between a hard no and Anti-Slut Defense (ASD).
(See Anti-Slut Defense)
HARLOT (AKA DAMAGED GOODS):
A sexually promiscuous woman with a high body count; a woman who has had a large number of sexual partners and is considered to be flawed or spoiled in character, value, or desirability.
“She belongs to the streets.”
(See Body Count; Carousel; Dick In A Jar; Meter Man; Monkey Branching; 304; Tom, Dick, And Harry)
HEADSHIP:
Leadership; the ability to control the frame and lead your woman (and family) successfully, lovingly, and with authority. In other words, you make the rules, and she respects them.
(See Frame)
HEFFALUMPER (AKA LANDWHALE; WARPIG):
Originally a type of elephant-like character in the Winnie the Pooh stories by A. A. Milne, Heffalumper refers to obese, masculine, ignorant, contentious womenâoften post-wall and seen in PJsâwho are fat, ugly, and proud of it. Usually found in their natural habitat: Walmart.
(See Social Justice Warrior [SJW])
HYPERGAMY:
The instinctual urge of a woman to seek out the best man available relative to her own sexual market value (SMV) and the SMV of other men who are competing for her affection. To be a viable candidate for a relationship, a man must be taller than her, make more money than her, be more decisive than her, etc. Of the men who meet these qualifications, she will always choose the highest-value man with whom sex or a relationship is actually attainable. Hypergamy never seeks its own level.
(See Alpha Fux/Beta Bux; Dualistic Mating Strategy; Feminine Imperative; Gynocentric Social Order; Sexual Market Value)
IDEOLOGY:
A system of ideas that aspires both to explain the world and change it via moral, ethical, and social beliefs. Ideologies hold up these ideals as standards by which to live or guide us. Humanism, Marxism, Christianity, and the Boy Scout Law are all ideologies of various sorts. They establish lofty goals toward which we aspire, celebrating unifying beliefs that, theoretically, guide our purposes. Ideologies describe how the world should be, not how it is.
(See Descriptive; Discernment; Praxiology; Prescriptive; Red Pill)
INCEL (AKA INVOLUNTARY CELIBATE):
A man who wants to get laid, but can’t, usually blaming it on society, females, feminists, bad boys, hypergamy, a lack of cheat codes, etc.âif there’s an excuse, he’ll use it. While there are obviously many ordinary men who experience sexual rejection, most incels tend to exhibit a bizarre misogynistic/nihilistic worldview.
(See Blackpill; Reprobate)
INDICATOR OF DISINTEREST (IOD):
Anything a woman does (verbally, physically, emotionally, spiritually) that indicates moving backward (withdrawing).
(See Indicator Of Interest; Push-Pull)
INDICATOR OF INTEREST (IOI):
Anything a woman does (verbally, physically, emotionally, spiritually) that indicates moving forward (reaching).
(See Indicator Of Disinterest; Push-Pull)
JEZEBEL SPIRIT (AKA JEZEBEL):
The spirit of a woman who is out for herself. Often extremely attractive, these women are the manipulative, conniving, and plotting type of woman you should avoid at all costs. “Jezebels” often exhibit narcissistic tendencies and suffer and/or weaponize borderline personality disorder (BPD) and histrionic personality disorder (HPD), amongst other personality disorders. They adopt a form of manipulation in which false information is presented to make victims doubt their own memory, perception, and sanity. If looks could kill, she would.
(See Contentious Woman; Red Flag)
LONG-DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP (LDR):
A long-distance and/or online relationship. Pursuing an LDR adds an unnecessary layer of complexity and complication to your life. This type of relationship should be avoided at all costs. Men who pursue LDRs are notorious for complicating their lives and then justifying why.
LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIP (LTR):
Typically a steady girlfriend. Can also include the courtship phase and marriage.
MAN CODE (AKA RESPECT CODE):
The unspoken code men live by: mutual respect. Men know on a fundamental level that respect is paramount; it’s one of the things that distinguishes us as men. Women have no such code.
MANOSPHERE:
The loose collection of blogs, message boards, and other sites run by and/or read by MRAs, MGTOW, PUAs, and any Red Pill-associated people/groups. The Christian manosphere blogs are primarily separate and do not interact much with the rest of the secular manosphere.
MARRIAGE 2.0:
Refers to marriage in the age of no-fault divorce that predominantly favors women in the event of a custody or support dispute. The supposed sequence of events that leads to Marriage 2.0 is that after years of having a bad attitude and withholding sex, a female decides she’s “unhappy” and proceeds to kick her husband out of his own house, claim half of his worldly possessions, alienate him from his children, collect “free” money every month in the form of alimony and child support, and jump into the bed of someone with better hair and optional tattoos. For bonus points, said female will likely throw in a false accusation of domestic abuse or child molestation. “Marriage 1.5” may refer to how many laws have changed so that they are technically gender neutral, but older judges still operate from a judicial discretion standpoint based on their Marriage 2.0 history. Further, instead of favoring women, the laws favor “lower earners.” Because men are generally the higher earners, it still has a disparate impact on men, where the man must continue providing the financial service he supplied throughout the marriage after the divorce, but the woman does not have to continue providing her housekeeping or child-rearing services.
(See Feminine Imperative; Gynocentric Social Order; Hypergamy)
MARRIAGE MARKET VALUE (MMV):
Unlike SMV and RMV, MMV considers traits that are good for marriage. The Bible says women are to love their husbands and children, be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled (Tit. 2:4-5). A woman with high MMV is marriage material.
(See Relationship Market Value; Sexual Market Value; Virtuous Woman)
MEN GOING THEIR OWN WAY (MGTOW):
The growing contingent of the male population who are saying âscrew it allâ to the mating dance. Unlike incels, their celibacy is often voluntary, though some do not necessarily abstain from sex or dating but merely refuse to surrender their will to the social expectations of women and society in their interactions. The question every MGTOW needs to ask himself is a simple one: is he going his own way, or is he sent his own way?
(See Black Pill; Incel)
MENTAL POINT OF ORIGIN (AKA LIVING IN YOUR OWN REALITY):
Do Not Give A F. Attitude. This is when you don’t let things bother you because you’ve let go of your ego. You’re truly authentic, and because of this, you can act genuinely without misapplied investment in the outcome, especially when it comes to things that are really unimportant. It’s a mindset of confidence; while you care, you only care about those things that are truly important. You can keep a proper perspective because you are The Prize and have made your mission, not your woman, your priority.
(See Authenticity; Confidence; Frame; Game)
METER MAN (AKA MILK MAN):
The pleasant, unassuming, seemingly good-natured “professional” that your woman might just run away with if you’re not sober-minded and vigilant. These are they that creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts (2 Tim. 3:6).
(See Body Count; Carousel; Dick In A Jar; Harlot; 304; Tom, Dick, And Harry)
MILQUETOAST (AKA COMPROMISER):
The castrated and feminized Churches (and Pastors) that are soft on sin and pay lip service or deny God’s prescribed roles and responsibilities for men and women (especially in marriage) and are factories for churning out Christian beta males and Evangelical American Princesses. In essence, those who call themselves Christians because they’ve “prayed a prayer and accepted Jesus into their heart” and yet are not born again and have none of the qualities that one would expect a Christian to have. Matt. 7:20-23 speaks to what will happen to these kinds of people.
âThese people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.”
â Matt. 15:8, NIV
(See Beta)
MISSION (AKA PURSUING EXCELLENCE):
Also known as your “path and purpose,” your mission is the overarching theme around which your life revolves, rather than women. For Christians, this is the Great Commission: evangelizing, making disciples, and using your Spiritual gifts. This makes Christian men attractive by default, as their mission (God), not their woman, is their highest priority.
“A woman should only be a complement to your life, not the focus.”
â Red Pill Maxim
(See Discipline)
MONK MODE (AKA FASTING):
A short-term period whereby a man temporarily abandons his pursuit of women, social media, TV, and other creature comforts, mitigating distractions and focusing on introspection, reflection, self-improvement, and communion with Godâsimilar to a fast, but mental. This practice serves as a reset and is, in essence, an acknowledgment that results happen in time and that the expectation of immediate results will ultimately be self-defeating toward long-term growth and ultimate fulfillment.
“The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.”
â 2 Pet. 3:9, ESV
MONKEY BRANCHING:
The tendency of females to try to find “higher branches to swing to” (that is, higher-status males to date and mate). Women tend to find their next romantic partner before officially breaking up with their current one (“don’t let go of a branch until you’ve grabbed the next one”).
(See Body Count; Carousel; Dick In A Jar; Harlot; Meter Man; 304; Tom, Dick, And Harry)
NEXT:
“Next” is used as a verb, implying rejection in either a sexual or relationship sense. When you “next” a woman, you cut ties and move on to the next woman in line.
NICE GUY:
“I’m a nice guyâhow come women don’t like me?” is a familiar lament among average frustrated chumps and incels. The problem for the Nice Guy is that he usually isn’t as “nice” as he thinks he is, as his “niceness” comes in the form of covert contracts with the expectation of some obligated compliance in return for his “kindness.” This deluded facade can mask almost anything from token shows of chivalry in the hope of sexual favors to more overtly stalkerish and passive-aggressive behavior toward females.
“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?”
â Jer. 17:9, ESV
(See Average Frustrated Chump; Beta; Captain Save-A-Ho; Covert Contract; Orbiter; Poindexter; Simp; White Knight)
NOT ALL WOMEN ARE LIKE THAT (NAWALT):
Refers to men who immediately say, “Not All Women Are Like That,” whenever another man airs any grievance about a woman. This special unicorn of a woman is supposedly unlike most other women, sane and honest, the exception to the rule, making her a potentially good partner for a long-term relationship.
(See All Women Are Like That; Exception Proves The Rule)
ON THE SPECTRUM (AKA BLOCKHEAD; CRETIN):
The modern generation of men (boys) who think reading a few internet articles and watching a few YouTube videos make them an expert. They are all theory, no practice; all opinion, no foundation. They are wise in their own conceit (Prov. 26:12), basing the whole of reality on personal experience. They are ever learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth (2 Tim. 3:7), and their foolish hearts are darkened (Rom. 1:21).
(See Automaton; Binary Thinking; Black Pill; Discernment; Incel; Slave Mind)
ONEITIS:
Based on the soulmate myth, oneitis occurs when a male becomes infatuated and falls in love with a singular female, but said female does not reciprocate his affections; typically founded on fantasies and ideologies about what “could be.” A man with oneitis is often blinded by feelings and overlooks the other’s faults against good counsel from friends and family.
(See Mission; Pedestal; Unicorn)
ORBITER:
A guy who “hovers” around a specific woman, or women in general (online or IRL) in hopes of getting laid. This seldom works out, as he stays around and/or stalks her social media, dawdling, ogling, and daydreaming rather than actually making a move.
(See Average Frustrated Chump; Beta; Captain Save-A-Ho; Nice Guy; Poindexter; Simp; White Knight)
OUTLIER:
A person, thing, or fact that is very different from other people, things, or facts, so that it cannot be used to draw general conclusions; a person who stands apart from the general populace by differing behavior, beliefs, or religious practices; a person whose abilities, achievements, etc., lie outside the range of statistical probability.
(See Exception Proves The Rule)
PARTY YEARS:
The five-year span between 20 and 25. At this stage, women generally experience their peak SMV (22-23 years old), and at no other point in a womanâs life will so many socio-sexual options be available to her. At no point will you find a woman more cocky and self-assured of her predominance in society according to the options she enjoys relative to her attractiveness. The available opportunitiesâsocial, sexual, educational, and career-wiseâthat a woman experiences during these years are afforded to her in relation to her SMV. It is not uncommon for a woman to ride the carousel during this period. During the party years, Hypergamy is still firmly rooted in physical attraction and short-term mating cues (alpha seed); however, itâs during this time women begin to develop an appreciation for the personality cues of confidence and (alpha) character as it relates to her long-term investment.
(See Break Phase; Carousel; Epiphany Phase; Hypergamy; Wall)
PATRIARCHY:
Men in their rightful place of biblical headship: husband-led marriages, father-led homes, and male-led Churches. Feminism rejects all forms of Patriarchy, including these and in the social sphere. Unfortunately, many in the Church also buy into this lie.
(See Complementarianism; Gynocentric Social Order; Headship)
PEDESTAL (AKA IDOLATRY):
Similar to Oneitis. Putting a woman on a pedestal makes her an idol over everything else in your life, including God. This leads to irrational behavior whereby a man constantly puts excessive time and effort to “win her,” much like a knight tries to win his lady’s hand. The end result is a role reversal where the woman on the pedestal is the leader (controls the frame), and the man is the follower, which is why this type of relationship seldom works.
(See Frame; Oneitis; Unicorn)
PICK-UP ARTIST (PUA):
A man whose lifestyle is devoted to seducing and having sex with as many women as possible, usually through various game strategies, tactics, and techniques.
(See Game)
PLATE (AKA CONCUBINE):
Any woman with whom you exert effort to maintain her romantic and/or sexual interest but who has lower status than a wife. Spinning plates is the act of having multiple plates simultaneously. As a Christian man, this practice is best used for fielding your options to make the best choice for a potential marriage/LTR.
(See Long-Term Relationship [LTR])
POINDEXTER:
A boringly studious and socially inept person. Often a poindexter will try to negotiate his way into a woman’s heart (and pants) without realizing he cannot negotiate genuine desireâattraction is not a choice.
(See Genuine Desire)
POLARITY:
Polarity in relationships is the spark that occurs between two opposing energies: masculine and feminine. In order for the pairing to work, one partner has to provide the masculine polarity while the other brings the feminine polarity. Many problems in relationships can be traced back to depolarization, which is when one or both partners feels the need to develop the traits of the opposite energy. When a relationship depolarizes, you donât feel the connection you used to because both of you have developed the same type of energy. The Bible teaches God made them male and female: men are to be masculine; women are to be feminine.
“If two people have a similar sexual polarity, that is, both are more âmasculineâ or more âfeminine,â then the attraction between them will be diminished. But if there is a strong difference, where one is extremely âfeminineâ and the other partner is âmasculine,â then the physical attraction will be maximized. Itâs âopposites attractâ in action.”
â Tony Robbins
(See Complementarianism, Egalitarianism, Headship)
PRAXEOLOGY:
The study of human conduct without regard to morality; praxeologies are not systems of belief but systems of practice. They are not concerned with whether or not something lives up to a preconceived ideal; they are concerned with whether or not something actually works. Engineering, small engine repair, computer coding, fishing, and first aid are all praxeologies. Praxiologies describe how the world is, not how it should be. The Red Pill is a praxeology, not an ideology.
(See Descriptive; Discernment; Ideology; Prescriptive; Red Pill)
PRESCRIPTIVE:
When studying the Red Pill (and Bible), it is crucial to determine whether the particular teaching is prescriptive or descriptive. Is the lesson prescribing something (this is how men/women should behave in “x” situation [behavioral]), or is it describing something (this is how men/women actually behave in “x” situation [observational])? This distinction is critical. A lesson is prescriptive if it is explicitly teaching that something should happen. On the other hand, when a teaching or maxim only describes something but is interpreted as prescribing something, it can lead to errant thinking and behavior.
(See Descriptive; Discernment; Ideology; Prescriptive; Red Pill)
PRESELECTION:
The idea that women are more attracted to men who already have the interest of other women. This saves the woman time judging a man by using the fact that other women have already judged him favorably. Unlike men, women always need a cosigner.
PRIVY MEMBER:
Noun. Archaic. The penis; (in plural) the genitals.
“He that is awounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord.”
â Deut. 23:1, KJV
PUSH/PULL (AKA REACH/WITHDRAW; HOT/COLD; MIXED SIGNALS):
Expressing interest, then disinterest to increase attraction; the push-pull technique is a concept that arose from the old-school pick-up artist community. Simultaneous pushing and pulling creates the ambiguity and interest women find attractive. It can be expressed verbally or non-verbally. You can âpushâ by demonstrating more attention and interest. You can âpullâ by disqualifying yourself as a potential suitor. You can do it verbally, non-verbally, or a combination of both.
(See Disqualification)
RED FLAG:
The term “red flag” is used metaphorically to indicate a warning sign or signal that alerts men to a potential problem, concern, or danger in a female dating prospect. Just as a literal red flag draws attention to an issue, a figurative red flag indicates that something may not be right and prompts individuals to be cautious and vigilant.
(See Contentious Woman; Jezebel Spirit; 304)
RED PILL:
The “Red Pill” movement is a loosely organized subsect of men that emerged from discussions about intergender dynamics, societal power structures, and men’s empowerment. It promotes traditional gender roles, men’s awareness, and a critical examination of societal norms, although it has been criticized for promoting controversial and polarizing views.
(See Feminine Imperative; Gynocentric Social Order; Hypergamy; Red Pill Rage; Unplugging)
RED PILL RAGE:
The intense and sometimes angry emotional response some men experience upon awakening to what they perceive as the harsh realities of the world, particularly about women, intergender dynamics, feminism, societal power structures, and more.
(See Red Pill; Unplugging)
RELATIONSHIP MARKET VALUE (RMV):
Where sexual market value (SMV) gauges how sexually attractive someone else is, RMV attempts to assign a value to the prospect of entering into a long-term relationship with a person.
(See Marriage Market Value; Sexual Market Value)
REPROBATE:
Foolishly arrogant and closed-minded men vehemently opposed to truth in all its flavors.
(See Binary Thinking; Black Pill; Can’t See The Forest For The Trees; Discernment; Incel; On The Spectrum)
SEXUAL MARKET VALUE (SMV):
Your sum total value in the Sexual Market Place.
Male SMV is calculated by various factors without consensus on an exhaustive list but includes a man’s looks, confidence/alpha traits, charm/charisma, financial position/prospect, social status, and more. Think money, muscles, game.
Female SMV is similar to the HB scale but incorporates things beyond looks alone in minor ways, such as a quiet spirit, submissiveness, and a good helper/keeper at home.
(See Marriage Market Value; Relationship Market Value)
SEXUAL MARKETPLACE (SMP):
A descriptor of the free market that is dating, mating, and relating.
SIMP (AKA SIMPANZEE):
Derived from “simpleton,” a simp is a man seen as too attentive and submissive to women, especially out of a failed hope of winning some entitled sexual activity or attention from them. Simps often engage in “simping” behaviors which include, but are not limited to, giving away free time, attention, and resources in hopes of being noticed by the women they are invisible to.
(See Average Frustrated Chump; Beta; Captain Save-A-Ho; Nice Guy; Poindexter; White Knight)
666:
Every woman’s basic requirements: 6 feet tall, 6 figure income, 6 pack abs (or 6-inch peen). If you have all 4, congratulations, you get to be in the top 1% of men.
(See Alpha; Chad; Totality Of Presence)
SLAVE MENTALITY (AKA GROUP THINK; HIVE MIND):
A collective mentality; the collective ideas of a group of people with a strong tendency to fall for group decision-making/group think. If someone has a hive mentality, they may feel invulnerable and morally correct when they’re part of a particular group. They may also be unable to make decisions independently, having lost the faculty to think critically, rationally, or intelligently. They are pawns in the matrix, indoctrinated by the mainstream narrative, who mill about like the walking dead, parroting the liberal agenda like droning automatons. These are the useless eaters of society, devoid of human reasoning, cognition, and a soul.
(See Automaton; Binary Thinking; Discernment; On The Spectrum)
SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIOR (SJW):
Ugly, loudmouthed, blue-haired, contentious tattooed women obsessed with “white privilege,” smashing the patriarchy and coming up with new make-believe genders. They hate God, are impervious to reason, emotionally frail, prone to violent, illogical outbursts when faced with logic, overtly masculine, and typically have hairy underarms.
Alternatively: weak, effeminate male feminists (manginas) who have been utterly corrupted by the liberal agenda and ideology such that they have lost their faculties of reason.
(See Contentious Woman; Heffalumper; Patriarchy; Reprobate; Soy)
SOLIPSISM:
An impaired ability to see things from another perspective.
In Red Pill, solipsism (i.e., female solipsism) refers to a woman’s emotional tendency to think the world revolves around her, and she, therefore, frames everything she experiences in terms of herself and her own needsâpersonalizing itâeven when such personalization does not make contextual sense.
SOY (AKA SOY BOY):
Indicates any perceived trait, characteristic, or behavior not adequately masculine.
A Soy Boy is an individual with a lack of manly traits. The soy meme has its roots in a conspiracy, promoted by the online bodybuilding community and more recently popularized by Paul Joseph Watson that consuming soy products lowers testosterone, and this is being used by the Elite to make the populace more docile and easy to control. Soy boy has supplanted cuck in many parts of the Manosphere.
(See Beta; Cuck)
THE POWERS:
The Illuminati, the Elite, the New World Order, the Adversary, Satan, the man behind the curtain, etc. Whatever you call them, they are the invisible puppet masters pulling the strings of society and manipulating the Matrix from behind the scenes. Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things (Phil. 3:19). Their objective is our enslavement; their enemy is the truth.
âFor we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.â
â Eph. 6:12, NLT
See Gynocentric Social Order
THIRSTY:
Men who lack standards and who will do almost anything for sex and attention. Usually, this means being with someone below their SMV/RMV/MMV and may involve begging, pleading, and otherwise trying to convince women to have sex with them.
(See Orbiter; Simp)
304:
304 spells “HOE” on an upside-down calculator, making it a euphemism for any girl that is not a virgin-until-marriage type.
(See Body Count; Carousel; Harlot)
TOM, DICK, AND HARRY:
Placeholder names for a woman’s Rolodex of on-call “full service” backup boys.
(See Body Count; Carousel; Dick In A Jar; Harlot; Meter Man; Monkey Branching; 304)
TOTALITY OF PRESENCE (AKA TOTALITY OF MASCULINE PRESENCE; EMERGENT MAN):
A holistic approach to dating, relationships, and marriage whereby your strong, dominant, masculine frame stirs her genuine burning desire (arousal) and simultaneously makes her feel warm, protected, and secure (attraction), thus satisfying both sides of the dualistic AF/BB equation. To attract the woman of your dreams, you must first become the man of your dreams.
Noun: A well-rounded, balanced, complete man at his sexual market peak who has maximized his potential (or close to it) and has all his “buckets” full. The “total package”âhis money, muscles, game, and godliness are on point. He is the yin and the yang, the nice guy and bad boy, the sexy lover and dutiful provider. In other words, a top 10% man who competently answers both sides of women’s hypergamous dualistic mating strategy (alpha seed and beta need) with a definitive “YES!”
Verb: an action, state, or occurrence that is both “alpha” (strong, independent, and facilitates genuine desire) and “beta” (provides comfort and affirmation that does not bring genuine desire but brings warm feelings of protection, provisioning, and parental investment).
(See Apha Fux/Beta Bux; Authenticity; Dualistic Mating Strategy; Epiphany Phase; Frame; Game; Hypergamy; Pary Years)
TRY HARD:
A man who overcompensates for his lack of game, status, masculinity, and other physical and/or mental shortcomings by trying too hard. “Try Hards” constantly seek attention, approval, and validation.
(See Dude Humor)
TYRONE:
Chad’s black counterpart.
(See Alpha; Chad; Genuine Desire)
UNICORN:
The living embodiment of the soulmate myth: a perfect, loving, faithful girlfriend or wife (usually attractive and non-slutty to boot). Loves to cook, clean, and pamper you. She is feminine and submissive, lives to serve, and never complains. She doesn’t exist anywhere but in your dreams.
(See Oneitis; Virtuous Woman)
UNPLUGGING:
The term refers to a choice between the willingness to learn a potentially unsettling or life-changing truth by taking the red pill (unplugging) or remaining in contented ignorance (one of the “sheeple”) with the blue pill.
(See Blue Pill; Discernment; Red Pill; Red Pill Rage)
VIRTUOUS WOMAN:
Marriage material; a chaste woman who is self-controlled, pure, works at home, kind, feminine, obedient, and submissive. A good helper, she is a complement to a man’s life.
“Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.”
â Prov. 31:10, KJV
(See Marriage Market Value; Unicorn)
WALL:
The beginning of the decline; the point in a woman’s life where her ego and self-assessed view of her sexual market value exceed her actual sexual market value. Usually occurs as a wake-up shock to women when they realize that their power over men was temporary and that their looks are fading. This usually results in initial denial and then a sudden change in priority towards looking for a husband and “finding God.” Even after hitting the wall, many women will squander a few more precious years testing their SMV with bad boys and alphas to double-check, hoping their perceived decline was a fluke; this will make them even more bitter when they finally have to settle for a worse beta than they could’ve gotten before squandering their youth.
(See Break Phase; Epiphany Phase; Hypergamy; Party Years)
WARM APPROACH (AKA SOCIAL CIRCLE GAME):
Approaching a female prospect with whom you have some prior or mutual connection, as opposed to a “cold approach.” These are typically women in your workplace or in your social circle.
(See Cold Approach)
WEAKEST LINK:
Men look for reasons to qualify a woman; women look for reasons to disqualify a man. Men play to win; women play not to lose. Youâre only as good as your weakest link. To attract the woman of your dreams, you must first become the man of your dreams.
âA womanâs standards are like a house of cards: kick out one from the bottom, and the whole edifice crashes down.â
â Red Pill Maxim
(See Totality Of Presence)
WEAPONIZED VIRTUE (AKA VIRTUE SIGNALLING):
In 2 Timothy 3, the apostle Paul describes the nature of people in the last days. In his description, he warns of people characterized as “having a form of godliness but denying its power” (verse 5). Paul then issues this command: “Have nothing to do with such people.”
Paul often uses contrast to emphasize an attribute he wishes to highlight. In 2 Timothy 3:1-4, he gives Timothy a long list of sinful behaviors and attitudes contrary to God’s will. In verse 5, he tells Timothy to avoid those who state they are “virtuous” with their mouthsâthey have a “form” of godlinessâbut who love the worldâthey deny the power of godliness.
Those with a form of godliness make an outward display of “peace, love, tolerance, and acceptance.” They present themselves as godly, but it is all for show. There is no power behind their motives, as evidenced by their lives being unchanged. They speak of “love” and live in sin and are OK with that arrangement.
“People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy… treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of Godâhaving a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.”
â 2 Tim. 3:2, 4-5, NIV
(See Social Justice Warrior)
WESTERN WOMAN:
Those females who have been corrupted by the evils of feminism and declining Western values.
(See Contentious Woman)
WHITE KNIGHT:
An emotionally driven beta male who rushes to defend a female in an argument, or comes to the “rescue” of a woman (or women), reflexively, and without thought or even looking objectively at the situation or what’s right. His low self-esteem leads him to believe his very life is disposable for the sake of female comfort and convenience, and he thinks he is “better” than other men who simply won’t lower themselves (or compromise their virtues) to “save a damsel in distress.” The white knight believes his service to the female community and support of their interests earns him secret brownie points that make him a more appealing candidate for a sexual/romantic relationship among women. He must become less so she can become more.
(See Average Frustrated Chump; Beta; Captain Save-A-Ho; Nice Guy; Poindexter; Simp)
SECTION II: THEOLOGICAL TERMS
ARMINIANISM:
A theological movement in Protestant Christianity that arose as a liberal reaction to the Calvinist doctrine of predestination. The movement began early in the 17th century and asserted that God’s sovereignty and human free will are compatible.
ASCENSION:
The physical, visible departure of the risen Lord Jesus to heaven, ending His earthly ministry.
(See Acts 1:9â11)
ATONEMENT:
The act of God by which He reconciles sinful humanity to Himself, causing enmity to end and fellowship to begin.
(See Lev. 17:11; 23:27)
BEMA SEAT:
Another term for the Judgment Seat of Christ using the Greek word for “throne.”
BORN AGAIN:
The phrase “born again” literally means “born from above.” It is a change of one’s heartâa spiritual transformation. New birth (being born again) is an act of God whereby eternal life is imparted to the person who believes. John 1:12, 13 indicates that being “born again” also carries the idea of “becoming children of God” through trust in the name of Jesus Christ.
(See 2 Cor. 5:17; Titus 3:5; 1 Pet. 1:3; 1 John 2:29; 3:9; 4:7; 5:1-4, 18)
CALVINISM:
The theological system of Calvin and his followers marked by a strong emphasis on the sovereignty of God, the depravity of humankind, and the doctrine of predestination.
CHRIST:
Literally, “Anointed One” or “Chosen One”; the Greek equivalent of Messiah.
(See John 1:41)

(See Ps. 38:18; 1 John 1:9; 2 Cor. 9:13)
COVENANT:
An agreement between two parties involving promises from each to the other.
(See Gen. 15:18; Luke 22:20)
DAY OF THE LORD:
The period of judgment and restoration at the end of time, as God punishes the wicked and sets up His kingdom on earth.
(See Zech. 14:1â5; 1 Cor. 1:8)
DESCRIPTIVE VS PRESCRIPTIVE PASSAGES:
When studying the Bible, it is important to determine whether the verse or passage at hand is descriptive or prescriptive. The difference is this: a passage is descriptive if it is simply describing something that happened, while a passage is prescriptive if it is specifically teaching that something should happen. Simply put, is it a description or a command? Is the passage describing something (it happened) or is it prescribing something (it should happen)? The difference is important. When a biblical passage is only describing something but is interpreted as prescribing something, it can lead to errant thinking and behavior.
As a general rule, much of what occurs in the book of Acts is descriptive, while much of what is said in the New Testament Epistles is prescriptive. Acts is history, and the Epistles are instruction. There are exceptions, of course. The book of Acts sometimes prescribes, and the Epistles sometimes describe.
If a verse or passage is simply describing something, with nothing said in the positive or negative about that something, then it is descriptive and should not be considered something we are commanded to do. It is only when Scripture specifically instructs (prescribes) that New Testament believers do something that we are to take it as a command to obey.
(See Discernment; Exegesis; Hermeneutics)
DISCERNMENT:
The word discern and its derivatives are translations of the Greek word anakrino in the New Testament. It means “to distinguish, to separate out by diligent search, to examine.” Discernment is the ability to rightly divide the truth or make correct determinations. It is related to wisdom. A discerning mind demonstrates wisdom and insight that go beyond what is seen and heard. For example, God’s Word is “spiritually discerned.” To the human mind without the Spirit, the things of God are “foolishness.” The Spirit, then, gives us spiritual discernment.
(See 1 Cor. 2:14; 1 John 4:1; Heb. 5:14; Phil. 1:9-10; Heb. 4:12)
DISPENSATION:
God’s administration of a certain period of time; a divinely appointed age.
(See Acts 14:16; Heb. 1:1â2)
DOCTRINE:
A belief or set of beliefs held and taught by a Church. The word translated “doctrine” means “instruction, especially as it applies to lifestyle application.” In other words, doctrine is teaching imparted by an authoritative source. In the Bible, the word always refers to spiritually related fields of study. The Bible says of itself that it is “profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness” (2 Tim. 3:16).
ELECT:
The person or group chosen by God to receive special favor or to perform special service.
(See Matt. 24:31; Rom. 11:7)
ETERNAL SECURITY (AKA ONCE SAVED, ALWAYS SAVED):
The belief that from the moment anyone becomes a Christian, they will be saved from hell and will not lose salvation. Once a person is truly “born of God” or “regenerated” by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, nothing in heaven or earth “shall be able to separate (them) from the love of God” (Rom. 8:39), and thus nothing can reverse the condition of having become a Christian.
(See Jude 24)
EXEGESIS:
The study of a particular text of Scripture to properly interpret it; the process of understanding a text and making its meaning plain.
(See 2 Tim. 2:15)
FAITH:
Belief in and commitment to God; confidence in Godâs character, will, and Word; trust. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
(See Heb. 11:1, 6; Rom. 5:1)
FALL OF MAN (AKA THE FALL):
Humanityâs loss of innocence resulting in his current state of sinfulness, corruption, and alienation from God, precipitated by the sin of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.
(See Gen. 3)
FORGIVENESS:
Forgiveness in the Bible is a âreleaseâ or a âdismissalâ of something. The forgiveness we have in Christ involves the release of sinners from Godâs just penalty and the complete dismissal of all charges against us (see Rom. 8:1). To some people, forgiveness may seem like weakness or letting an undeserving person win, but it has no connection to weakness or even to emotions. Instead, forgiveness is an act of the will. Forgiveness is not granted because a person deserves to be forgiven. No one deserves to be forgiven. Forgiveness is a deliberate act of love, mercy, and grace. Forgiveness is a decision to not hold something against another person, despite what he or she has done to you.
(See Rom. 8:1; Col. 1:14; Eph. 4:32)
FORNICATION:
Fornication is a term used in the Bible for any sexual misconduct or impure sexual activity that occurs outside of the bounds of a marriage covenant. Fornication is also applied symbolically in the Bible to the sins of idolatry and apostasy, or the abandoning of God.
The word fornication comes from the Greek term porneia (from which we get our English word pornography) and is often linked with adultery in the Bible. It is a general term for sexual immorality. Fornication includes adultery, which is the act of a married person engaging in sexual intercourse with someone other than his or her spouse. But fornication also involves engaging in any kind of sexual relations before marriage or between two people who are not married. For instance, in the King James Version of 1 Corinthians 5:1, fornication is used twice to describe a sexual sin that was being tolerated by the church: a man was sleeping with his fatherâs wife.
(See Rom. 1:29; Matt. 15:19; Mark 7:21)
GENUINE BELIEVER:
A true child of God who has been transformed from spiritual death into spiritual life. More than a personal affirmation, profession, or emotion, it is an objective and miraculous saving work of God in a believer’s heart and life.
(See Born Again)
GLORIFICATION:
Godâs final removal of sin from the life of the saints so that they stand faultless before Him in glory in eternity.

The place or state into which, by God’s definitive judgment, unrepentant sinners pass in the general judgment, or, as some Christians believe, immediately after death.
(See Luke 16:23-24; 2 Thess. 1:9; Matt. 25:46)
HERMENEUTICS:
The study of biblical interpretation.
(See 2 Tim. 2:15)
HOLINESS:
1 Pet. 1:13-25 calls all people of faith to live a life of holiness. Literally, holy living means that the Christian lives a life set apart, reserved to give glory to God. It is a life of discipline, focus, and attention to matters of righteous living. As believers, we need to be “set apart” from the world unto the Lord. We must live by Godâs standards, not the worldâs. God isnât calling us to be perfect but to be distinct from the world.
(See 1 Pet. 1:16; Lev. 11:44; 19:2)
HOLY SPIRIT (AKA HOLY GHOST; PARACLETE):
The third person of the Trinity; God as spiritually active in the world. Also known as the great Counselor and Spirit of Truth, the Holy Spirit illuminates people’s minds, makes us yearn for God, and takes spiritual truth and makes it understandable to us.

(See 2 Tim. 3:16)
IRRESISTIBLE GRACE (AKA EFFECTUAL CALLING):
The doctrine that whatever God decrees will inevitably come to pass, even in the salvation of individuals. The Holy Spirit will work in the lives of the elect so that they inevitably will come to faith in Christ. The Bible teaches that the Holy Spirit never fails to bring to salvation those sinners whom He personally calls to Christ. When God calls, man responds.
(See John 6:37, 44; 10:16)
JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST:
The judgment of believers who will give an account of their lives to Christ.
(See Rom. 14:10)

The act by which God, for Christ’s sake, declares a guilty sinner acceptable in His sight. We are justified, or declared righteous, at the moment of our salvation.
(See Rom. 3:28; 5:1)
LIMITED ATONEMENT:
The doctrine states that though the death of Jesus Christ is sufficient to atone for the sins of the whole world, God the Father intended that the atonement of Christ’s death would work itself out in only the elect, thereby leading them without fail to salvation.
(See Matt. 1:21; John 10:11; 17:9; Acts 20:28; Rom. 8:32; Eph. 5:25)
LOST:
The term lost is used in the Bible and Christian circles to refer to people who are separated from God and have not yet found eternal life in Christ. Jesus said, “For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost” (Luke 19:10).

(See Discernment; Exegesis; Hermeneutics)
ORIGINAL SIN:
The moral corruption we possess as a consequence of Adam’s sin resulting in a sinful disposition manifesting itself in habitually sinful behavior.
(See Ps. 51:5; Rom. 5:12-21)
PERSEVERANCE OF THE SAINTS:
The doctrine that those who are born again will continue trusting in Christ forever. God, by His own power through the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit, keeps or preserves the believer forever. None whom God has elected will be lost; they are eternally secure.
(See John 10:27-29; Rom. 8:29-30; Eph. 1:13-14)
PREDESTINED:
Being chosen by God’s sovereign determination ahead of time; in matters of salvation, chosen to be conformed to the likeness of God’s Son, justified, and glorified.

REPROBATE:
Those whom God has rejected as godless and wicked. They “suppress the truth by their wickedness,” and it is upon these people that the wrath of God rests. The Greek word translated “reprobate” in the New Testament is adokimos, which means literally “unapproved, that is, rejected; by implication, worthless (literally or morally).”
(See Rom. 1:20-28; 2 Cor. 13:5-6; Prov. 1:23-33; John 12:37-41; Heb. 6:4-8)
REVELATION:
An unveiling or uncovering; concerning Scripture, the revealing of God’s Word about Himself and His plan of salvation for the world.
(See Dan. 10:1; Rom. 16:25)
RIGHTEOUSNESS:
Conformity of heart and life to the divine law; morally justifiable or right behavior. Such behavior is characterized by accepted standards of morality, justice, virtue, or uprightness. The Bibleâs standard of human righteousness is Godâs own perfection in every attribute, every attitude, every behavior, and every word. Thus, Godâs laws, as given in the Bible, both describe His own character and constitute the plumb line by which He measures human righteousness.
(See Rom. 3:22; Gal. 3:6)
SALVATION:
Deliverance from sin, death, and the wrath of God.
(See Ps. 13:5; Heb. 2:3)
SANCTIFICATION:
The process by which Christians are set apart for God from the rest of the world or the process by which Christians are made holy as God changes them into the image of His Son. Progressive, or experiential, sanctification, as it is sometimes called, is the effect of obedience to the Word of God in oneâs life. It is the same as growing in the Lord (2 Pet. 3:18) or spiritual maturity.
(See John 17:17; 1 Thess. 4:3)
SATAN (AKA THE DEVIL; LUCIFER; FATHER OF LIES):
An angelic being who fell from his position in heaven due to sin and is now wholly opposed to God, doing all in his power to thwart Godâs purposes. He is the prince of evil spirits, the adversary of God, and, by extension, the enemy and opponent of those who follow God.
(See Ezek. 28:15; Isa. 14:12â17)
SECOND COMING OF CHRIST:
The physical return of Jesus Christ to earth with the armies of heaven at His side to judge His enemies, set up His kingdom, and fulfill the prophecies to Israel.

SIN:
Lawlessness; disobedience to Godâs will, by either commission or omission, in thought, word, or deed.

The phrase sola scriptura is from the Latin: sola having the idea of âalone,â âground,â âbase,â and the word scriptura meaning âwritingsââreferring to the Scriptures. Sola scriptura means that Scripture alone is authoritative for the faith and practice of the Christian. The Bible is complete, authoritative, and true.
(See 2 Tim. 3:16)
SOVEREIGNTY:
Godâs complete control over all things in nature and the affairs of men, past, present, and future.

As a result of Adamâs fall, the entire human race is affected; all humanity is dead in trespasses and sins. Man is unable to save himself because he is unable to respond to God, nor does he want to.
(See Gen. 6:5; Jer. 17:9; Rom. 3:10-18)
TRANSFIGURATION:
The shining forth of divine glory in Jesus Christ in His earthly form.

(See 1 Sam. 1:19; Ps. 29:2; Rev. 15:4)
SECTION III: NOFAP TERMS
ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER:
Accountability partners are pairs who hold each other responsible for their sexual habits.
BRAIN FOG:
âBrain fogâ isnât a medical condition. Itâs a term for specific symptoms affecting your ability to think clearly, focus, or remember things.
CHASER EFFECT:
Increased urges to get a dopamine high shortly after experiencing one. This super-charged desire to masturbate generally hits 1-3 days after a relapse and/or sexual acts. Especially powerful early on in a reboot.
DEATH GRIP:
The tight-fisted grip on the penis many men develop by masturbating. Because it is much more constricted than the grip of an actual vagina, the death grip overstimulates the penis, reduces sensitivity, and can make it difficult or impossible to orgasm with a woman.
DELAYED EJACULATION (DE):
Delayed ejaculationâsometimes called impaired ejaculationâis a condition in which it takes an extended period of sexual stimulation for men to reach sexual climax and ejaculate. In severe cases, some men with delayed ejaculation are unable to ejaculate at all.
(See Erectil Dyfunction [ED]; Premature Ejaculation [PE])
DESENSITIZATION:
Desensitization stemming from habitual hardcore porn use makes it difficult to get aroused with real women or regular vanilla porn, driving many men to seek more extreme and disturbing forms of pornography and/or sexual activities (even gay sex or bestiality) to obtain the same dopamine high.
(See Supernormal Stimuli)
DOPAMINE:
A neurotransmitter and hormone released by the brain to reward certain activity. It plays a role as a âreward centerâ and in many body functions, including memory, movement, motivation, mood, attention, and more.
Itâs been suggested that pornography messes up the âreward circuitryâ in human sexualityâwhy bother trying to pursue and impress a potential mate if you can just sit at home and look at porn? This has been argued as the beginning of porn addiction, as novelty is always a click away, and novelty is closely tied to the highly addictive nature of dopamine.
(See Dopamine Sensitivity)
DOPAMINE SENSITIVITY:
Frequent orgasms cause your brain to adjust to dopamine spikes by lowering the number of dopamine receptors; low dopamine sensitivity makes other less dopamine-releasing activities unfulfilling. So over time, the brain builds up a tolerance and requires more and more stimuli to achieve the desired response.
(See Dopamine)
EDGING:
Masturbating without orgasm, usually in conjunction with pornography. Some rebooters have tried this in a misguided attempt to rationalize pornography usage (“well, it doesn’t count if I didn’t orgasm!”).
ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION (ED):
The inability to achieve and/or maintain an erection during intercourse.
(See Delayed Ejaculation [DE]; Porn-Induced Erectile Dysfuntion [PIED]; Premature Ejaculation [PE])
FAP (AKA FAPPING):
Now-popularized Internet slang for masturbation. Fap is one of many onomatopoeic words (a word formulated based on how it sounds) often used in manga to depict the specific sound of a character masturbating. Other examples of onomatopoeia include boing, sizzle, gargle, clap, zap, and pitter-patter.
FLATLINE:
Short crash after the first NoFap high. Many NoFap users report one or more periods of zero libido during their streak, especially in the 2-6 week period. Transitioning from an overexcited, always-eager libido to none at all can be alarming and even scary for the experienced masturbator. You may feel a lack of energy, low sex drive, and reduced benefits (actual duration varies enormously among men, mostly around one weekâsome don’t experience it at all). The flatline is typically only a phase in the reboot and will pass.
HARD MODE:
Rebooting without any sexual release (even via a partner).
IDLE HANDS (AKA IDLE HANDS ARE THE DEVIL’S WORKSHOP):
Used for saying that people who are bored or don’t have enough work will start doing things they ought not do.
NOFAP:
NoFap is an anti-masturbation movement. Supporters say avoiding pornography and masturbation for prolonged periods improves their lives and sexuality. Some men may join for religious or ethical reasons or because they worry about the effects of masturbation on their lives. Other reasons include overcoming porn addiction, self-improvement, and physical benefits. Its name comes from the slang term fap, referring to male masturbation.
NOVELTY SEEKING (AKA NOVELTY):
A personality trait characterized by a strong interest in having new experiences that are often associated with risk-taking behavior; hence, the term may be used synonymously with sensation seeking. When it comes to online pornography, today’s men have on-demand access to the thrill and excitement of endless sexual novelty.
“I collected a lot of porn. I thought I was amassing some wonderful database of pleasure. But I can’t remember ever actually going back. The compelling part is the new star, the novel video, the novel act.”
â Anonymous
PMO:
Pornography, masturbation, and orgasm (things to avoid on your NoFap streak).
PORN ADDICTION:
An overpowering inclination to repeatedly view, use, or indulge in pornographic material. Despite what the so-called “experts” will tell you, pornography addiction is very real and detrimental to your mental, physical, and spiritual fitness.
PORN SUBSTITUTES (PSUB):
Any artificial sexual stimuli used as a substitute for pornography (Instagram models, lingerie catalogs, music videos, YouTube videos of girls dancing in shorts, erotic stories, browsing dating profiles without the intention of contacting them, or even cruising social media websites for pictures). The primitive part of your brain doesn’t know what porn is. It simply knows whether something is arousing (to you) or not. Whether hardcore or softcore, you’re still sending your brain the same dopamine signals and reinforcing the addiction.
PORN-INDUCED ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION (PIED):
Through years of using porn, male users might discover that they cannot achieve or maintain an erection without using porn or porn fantasy. This is due to the brain’s desensitization over time and requiring greater and greater amounts of supernormal stimuli to reach arousal. This is very detrimental to real-world sexual encounters and could strain relationships. The cure to PIED is rebooting.
(See Desensitization; Erectile Dysfuntion [ED]; Reboot)
PREMATURE EJACULATION (PE):
PE occurs when ejaculation happens sooner than wanted/expected during sex. Premature ejaculation is a common sexual complaint among men. As many as 1 out of 3 men say they’ve had at some time.
(See Erectil Dyfunction [ED]; Delayed Ejaculation [DE])
PROCRASTURBATION:
Procrastination that leads to masturbation.
PROLACTIN:
A hormone released after orgasm, intended to be relaxing after sex, reduces sex drive and causes fatigue and lack of motivation after masturbating.
REBOOT (AKA REBOOTING):
The time you need to regenerate from the adverse effects of PMO (Usually 90 days). Also called “rebooting.” The process of restoring your brain to “factory defaults.”
Verb: meaning abstinence from sexual behaviors, namely the use of porn, but often also masturbation and sex.
RELAPSE:
Fallback to undesired activity (dependent on your goal).
(See Porn Addiction)
RESET:
A moment of weakness occurring when you masturbate or look at pornography during the reboot process is called a reset as it resets your day count back to day one.
(See Trigger)
SEMEN RETENTION:
Semen retention refers to the practice of avoiding ejaculation beyond the goal of addiction recovery. The general idea is to apply the time and energy from sexuality to other areas of life. Proponents suggest that it has many potential benefits, ranging from physical to emotional and spiritual. Although it may sound like a crazy new fad, the practice is nearly as old as humankind.
(See Prolactin)
SUPERNORMAL STIMULI:
A supernormal stimulus or superstimulus is an exaggerated version of a stimulus to which there is an existing response tendency or any stimulus that elicits a response stronger than the stimulus for which it evolvedâeven if it’s artificial. Modern-day examples of supernormal stimuli for humans are junk food, social media, drugs, TV, video games, and of course, pornography.
SURGE:
The period 5-14 days after the start of a NoFap streak that often features a physically recognizable surge in energy and sex drive, which seems to be associated with the rebooting-induced testosterone “surge.” This doesn’t occur in all reboots. Your mileage may vary.
TESTOSTERONE:
The Male sex hormone; peaks in blood 7 days into NoFap, then seemingly levels out again as the body starts using the newly available testosterone.
TRIGGER:
A person, place, or thing to which a neuro-associative link causes an urge to return to addictive behaviors (e.g., sexy billboard, revealing profile picture, etc).
(See Porn Substitutes; Supernormal Stimuli)
