I am not a former red piller, although I went through a similar phase before "the Matrix" was even made. Anyway I see TRP online, and here is one of my thoughts on it:

TRP seeks to answer our question about why some men are more "successful" at their goals with women while making an assumption, the assumption being that the answer has to be in things we can control, mainly our behaviour, and not in genetics or looks.

Of the many behaviors it teaches, they hold up their successes as evidence that certain behaviours are more successful than others, but not taking into account failure rates of people who try the approach is a kind of i ductive fallacy. What is actually happening is you are looking at a given behaviour, and only considering the times it has succeeded, while throwing out the times it failed.

Here is how attraction actually works. Men and women are genetically programmed to seek out those who give them the best reproductive odds. For women, men with wealth, status, charisma, and looks are generally going to do that. Men for obvious differences in their reproductive options, are more going to be attracted to youth and fertility.

You can throw around all the negs you want, but it won't make you "alpha". But sure, a guy with the looks of Tom Cruise, a million dollars in his pocket, and high social standing is going to be successful using any "technique" to try to pick up women.
