I've spent the past year or so living with a friend who is the typical Blue Pill, frustrated Beta Male.

I wanted to list a few of his traits to help the novices here and also as a refresher for others.

He's not a bad looking guy and has an above average income/job. He's also a generally good guy to live with, but I have noticed all the typical frustrated blue pill beta male traits.

  1. Constant Excuses: I was shocked at the level of excuses made. No matter the instance, there would always be an excuse not to go to the gym or why something failed. Newsflash: my job is significantly more stressful, I'm paid significantly more, and I rarely make excuses for why something isn't done.
  2. Constant Complaining: the average blue pill "nice guy" is not nice at all. Totally self-absorbed complaining about his challenges and difficulties. Most of us have some fucked up shit in lives, deaths, broken relationships, sickness, cancer...the last anyone wants to hear is complaining about petty bullshit. The blue pill "nice guy" is not so nice afterall.
  3. "Feminist" but secretly hates women: as much as he supports women's rights he certainly complains a lot about them. About how they suck, how they are hoes, etc. etc. He needs them, he wants them, but he does not love them. I love women for all their erratic behavior, for their sexuality, their energy, their charms, and the irrationality and challenges. It's a fun game.
  4. Passive aggressive & hidden anger: again, the average nice guy is not so nice. He's just too weak to display disappointment and dissatisfaction. This is extremely dangerous because blue pill nice guys can seemingly blindside you.
  5. Boring: boring hobbies, boring conversational skills, etc etc. Despite being totally boring, will also complain women can't hold conversations... No dude, they just don't want to talk to you.
  6. No purpose: nothing needs to be said here. Like a leaf blowing in the wind, he has no purpose besides maybe getting the girlfriend to fulfill his sexual needs.
  7. No follow-through: give the average blue pill beta male the key to how you've done something and you can expect them to still not do it, but continue complaining. I like to help and like to coach, but all my efforts have been a total waste.
  8. Weak in totality: no mental toughness makes the blue pilled man weak in totality. He's weak in every single area of his life and not just the gym.

I understand a lot of this content is, to a large extent, already been covered. However, I do believe that is the nature of the Red Pill. There are set ideas and principles that do not change often and reminders are always good.
