For the past year I've been seriously into TRP. I would read about it everyday and I was subscribed to tons of MGTOW channels on YouTube. I used to think that I was into the red pill because I was interested in science and psychology. But like most red pillers, part of the reason I was so obsessed with it is that I felt betrayed by women. All my life most of the girls I've been interested in have pretty much ignored me. Most of my friends are fairly attractive, and whenever we went to parties all the girls would be really interested in them and the girls would pay pretty much no attention to me. And whenever I tried to talk to women that I thought were attractive, most of them just gave dismissive one-word responses and didn't even look at me. I've been in three relationships, but all of them only lasted for a week or two. Also, when I went to college, it seemed like everyone around me was getting laid, and I got no attention from women whatsoever. When I found out about the red pill, I became very bitter towards women. I've also noticed that I trust women a lot less.
But lately, I've come to realize that although guys feel very bitter because of the way women have treated them, a lot of women feel the same way in regards to men. Although a lot of women are hypergamous, men also have a ton of faults. A lot of guys only date women for their looks. And although it sucks that guys often have to act macho, suppress their emotions, and use game in order to keep women interested in them, the dating game sucks for women in a lot of ways too. For example, guys are less interested in marrying women with a lot of sexual experience. But at the same time, most guys won't date women who won't put out.
So basically, I'm starting to disagree with the Red Pill, but I still strongly believe in hypergamy, the differences in IQ variance between men and women, and in alpha fucks/beta bucks. What I disagree with is TRP's hateful attitude towards women. In short, although women can be pretty shallow when it comes to dating, a lot of guys are just as shallow. I would be interested in the Red Pill if they just studied evolutionary psychology and the psychology of romantic and sexual relationships, but so much content on TRP is just a bunch of guys hating on women and trying to out-alpha each other.
Also, another TRP concept I disagree with is the idea that women are more likely to rationalize away things they disagree with than men are. I don't think there's any evidence that women rationalize things more than guys do, and in my experience, men rationalize things just as much as women do
