It was placed under quarantine by the admins of Reddit, and currently remains under quarantine. It was founded on October 25th 2012 by a New Hampshire, USA, House of Representatives Republican named [[Robert Fisher]]. /r/TRP more or less advocates that the way to get girlfriends (including '''model''' girlfriends) is by building self-confidence and self-worth (mental 'frame') by yourself. TRP says that the way women choose men is by unconsciously submitting men to [[confidence]] tests called [[shit tests]]. When a man passes a woman's shit tests, and 'holds a higher frame' than her, TRP says he will 'get' her or have a good chance. /r/TRP stresses that men not only have to have good [[confidence]] and self worth, but higher [[confidence]] and self worth than the woman he is pursuing. | ||

On September 30th 2019 Reddit admins announced that the subreddit was going to be deleted. [[r/Braincels]] was just deleted on the same day, without any warning from the Reddit admins. TRP, however, was not deleted, and still exists in quarantine as of December 2021, albeit with reduced inflow of new readers. TRP moderators have also created a separate [https://trp.red website] under their own control, as a safeguard against eventual deletion. | On September 30th 2019 Reddit admins announced that the subreddit was going to be deleted.

Incels don't argue with TRP and [[PUA]] so much that being a bad boy helps 'get' women. But incels argue that having the permission to act like an [[asshole]] around women requires that the person already have enough [[LMS|looks, money, and status]], with looks being the most important and interrelated factor. The amount of looks you have is inherited and influences your status from the preschool on, and later the amount of money that you earn. The amount of money one needs to correct inherited looks is prohibitive for most incels, and [[statusmaxxing]] is extremely prohibitive without good looks. If one acts like a bad boy around women while ugly or low status, that person will often not have a good time... It is for this reason a lot of incels grow up with overly 'sweet' or 'nice' personalities, so that they don't get negative attention from women (and also so they don't get bullied by other men). | Incels don't argue with TRP and [[PUA]] so much that being a bad boy helps 'get' women.
