1	What should I say to my friend? Going to the gym is for people without a personality. lmao It's become the default physical activity for adult urban citizens who didn't put the effort to find a sport they actually like. It's the equivalent to people saying "they like all genres of music" yet listen only to the top 100 pop. Lifting weights as a supporting role for your main sport is fine, or a specialized approach is cool (e.g. strongman, powerlifting), but the gym for the sake of the gym has got to be the most boring sport the…	/r/ExRedPill	18/10/20 03:38 PM
7	When they think they know something but they don’t They claim to be liberated minds – enlightened, freed from society's programming. Yet they are the ones who adhere to an extreme, cancer-like manifestation of patriarchal culture, the one that's been dominating the West all our lives. They are not the heroic rebels of resistance they think they are, they are the collaborators. They claim to be students of logic, just like their golden boy Ben Shapiro. Yet their interpretations of FACTS™ is nothing more than skewed. Either they come up with their…	/r/ExRedPill	17/10/20 05:45 PM
1	White Pill White pill is when black pill turns to intelectualism, philosophy No. This is not philosophy. People need to stop overusing the term "philosophy". Sure, philosophy ("love of knowledge") is the basis for all knowledge, thus being hard to define withing academic circles, but this white pill guy is just a poor attempt at formulating an ideology based on nothing more than personal opinions, empirical data and vague guesses. This isn't even "intellectual". Evoking concepts such as truth, reality and …	/r/ExRedPill	17/10/20 05:29 PM
2	I just quit the red pill but I have to say PUA does work. I'm afraid your perspective is dead on. Your post makes me cringe because I used to act similarly on dates due to PUA (and more generally patriarchal culture) brainwashing. I didn't have much sex ed, so when PUA taught me that faced with rejection I just had to try harder, there wasn't much opposing thought in my brain to challenge the idea. It's a dangerous belief, one that in the wrong hands can lead to rape. Women, of course, are the firsthand victims of this ideology, but the men who adhere …	/r/ExRedPill	16/10/20 04:07 PM
3	I just quit the red pill but I have to say PUA does work. Look, I was pretty active, on & off, in the PUA community for about a decade. I made a post about this a month or so ago and there's another longer one I'd like to write down, because I believe keeping young men away from PUA theories can only benefit their psychological wellbeing in the long run. Here's the thing: it's not about "does it work or not?" The PUA framework does give results for a specific goal. But this line of thinking, one that focuses solely on the input/output relation, fails t…	/r/ExRedPill	16/10/20 03:46 PM
3	The stupidest shit I've read in the manosphere Well, to be fair, buying drinks never really got me anywhere, and I got by pretty decently without doing so.	/r/ExRedPill	15/10/20 02:49 PM
2	The stupidest shit I've read in the manosphere Dear god, what people come up with... I wonder who actually believes these kinds of stories. Funny thing, I recall reading a similar mother/daughter story (or was I just on pornhub?). this shirt "spoke" to him and said he would get laid multiple times if he wore it Sounds like a serious mental illness tbh if you start hallucinating clothes talking to you.	/r/ExRedPill	15/10/20 02:47 PM
1	The stupidest shit I've read in the manosphere Holy shit, your catalogue is one of legends.	/r/ExRedPill	15/10/20 02:43 PM
2	Being a successful PUA isn't worth it RSD stood for Real Social Dynamics. Largest and most influencal PUA company during the 2010s, at first for the better it seemed, since they moved away from routines and techniques. I've looked a bit at r/seduction during 2018-2019. I wouldn't say it was 100% toxic, more like a warzone between redpillers and non-redpillers. Models by Manson is one of the most recommended title on the sub, with the 3 advices you give being quite frequent there, yet there's a lot of RP thinking from other members. …	/r/ExRedPill	16/09/20 04:04 PM
2	Being a successful PUA isn't worth it Not my point. Unless you are asexual, intimacy/sex is an important aspect of life. STDs aren't that frequent. Wear a condom.	/r/ExRedPill	16/09/20 03:11 AM
1	Being a successful PUA isn't worth it Of course, but working on your game and exposure to PUA mindset are almost never mutually exclusive. You don't just "learn game" in a vacuum. Maybe if you started with Models by Manson first, then never read anything else directly related to game... Even then, it's a slippery slope. The notion of "having game" is problematic in itself. It encompasses a prescriptive conception of performance. To hook up, you need to perform well, and most often perform in a certain way. "Game" is perceived as a s…	/r/ExRedPill	16/09/20 03:08 AM
10	An example of a toxic red pill guy who's about to lose his girlfriend. What an idiot. Hilarious.	/r/ExRedPill	16/09/20 02:12 AM
3	Being a successful PUA isn't worth it i actually lost the strength of some good friendships becauze i becamr that guy that qas hyper focussed on girls and would makd every chill session with the bro's about a never have i ever contest which I would win. I needed the validation that bad. In fact i cared more about having sex with a super attractive girl, because i could brag about my male friends after wards, than i cared about her, about the sex we'd have or anything else. It is painfull to say but very true. Damn brother, I relate …	/r/ExRedPill	16/09/20 01:47 AM
16	Being a successful PUA isn't worth it Oh yes, it’s certainly possible to be a healthy, mature playboy. Like meeting women through hobbies and your social circle. You start dating women, but instead of treating them like junk food, you allow the relationship to grow, you enjoy the company, you both make each other better. Although the relationship is openly non-exclusive, you feel love for your partner. You don’t feel the need to add more women to your life, but if the occasion presents itself, you go with the flow. Polyamory can be …	/r/ExRedPill	14/09/20 08:51 PM
7	Being a successful PUA isn't worth it Any other mention of "I'm more attuned to my feminine side so I like being with women" is just bullshit. Lmao many RSD coaches used to argue that they were, in fact, more feminists than most because they value sexual liberation. "I have a feminist fuckfriend..." Also I'm not sure how women even get along with people who think women are gold diggers because of biology. Closet red pillers and PUAs who hide their opinions. Or women that have internalize patriarchal culture so much that they adhere …	/r/ExRedPill	14/09/20 08:20 PM
5	PUAs VS Feminists, who's right about seduction? (1) Crazy thing is, even a competent PUA doesn't get that much sex compared to someone in a relationship, and less satisfying sex at that. One-night-stands, maybe a few fuck buddies you manage to date before they get tired of your shit; perhaps you can see 3-4 girls a week and, trust me, the amount of work that requires equals a part-time job. I've been there. Maintaining a consistent abundant sex life as a PUA demands consistent efforts, it's tiring as shit and it seems you can never pause, in trut…	/r/ExRedPill	14/09/20 04:59 PM
3	Strong and Weak Men What the fuck is strength and weakness? I think you've done a fine job identifying what strength is for red pillers : an attitude and set of behaviours in line with conservative gender roles, a priority given to financial matters and profitable professions rather than the arts or social sciences, the belief in right-wing ideologies. For RP, strength is an ideological prescription, which is a dangerous worldview to hold for personal and societal wellbeing. Imagine if I told you you have to be a s…	/r/ExRedPill	11/09/20 07:36 PM
9	Men Under 33 are "Useless" Isn't discussion the whole point of this sub? First off, not necessarily. This sub is a place for support, not /purplepilldebate or some other hole for red pill apologists to go on their ideological crusades. A bit like going to an AA gathering and bringing an article (sponsored by Budweiser) claiming alcohol is actually healthy. If you want to discuss this outside of the manosphere, you can take this to /menslib but I can guarantee they'll brush it off for being an outrageous statement claimed …	/r/ExRedPill	06/09/20 08:57 AM
8	Men Under 33 are "Useless" Why? This type of thinking originates both from patriarchal culture and capitalist socioeconomics. If anything, this should entice you to fight for reform/rebuild of our socioeconomical and cultural foundations. I see nothing here but the insane product of a rotten society. Edit: grammar.	/r/ExRedPill	06/09/20 08:13 AM
4	Thinking For Yourself Unfortunately, calling red pillers to use critical thinking won't work because that's exactly what they claim to do and what they accuse their adversaries of not doing. They accuse anybody who disagrees with their cultish worldview to be mindlessly brainwashed by feminist/left-wing/sjw propaganda, all the while claiming they are the enlightened ones who escape this so-called propaganda with FACTS AND LOGIC à la Shapiro, yet without any serious backing from the academic community. It is the commo…	/r/ExRedPill	03/09/20 07:57 PM
4	The good and the bad about TRP Mods, can we get a stickied post explaining why the “good” of the red pill is nothing more than generic advice you can get anywhere? We get those “TRP isn’t 100% bad” at least 1-2 times a week, and half of the time it’s probably some red piller in disguise on an ideological crusade.	/r/ExRedPill	30/08/20 07:59 PM
21	Discovering the red pill I got involved in my local PUA community 10 years ago. At that time, the Red Pill wasn't a thing, but there was certainly similar ideas circulating around. So I guess I'm a RP hipster. Overall, I'd say our community back then was less toxic than nowadays, with a bigger emphasis on bettering yourself. I started to notice a heavy shift around 2013-2014; most of the oldies were gone and the new guys were much more hardcore about this whole thing. Some woulf save up and take a sabbatical to "learn g…	/r/ExRedPill	29/08/20 05:43 PM
1	I was banned at asktrp for pointing at hypocrisy of the community leaders Meanwhile here we're stuck with RP trolls and "infiltrators" who come ask dumb ass rhetorical questions to try to steer exredpillers back into TRP. Stuff like "I am against TRP but isn't true that all women are manipulative misandrists because of all those anecdotal evidence I'm gonna give you?" or "I really don't want to be red pilled but ______ is too convincing". Fuck off.	/r/ExRedPill	29/08/20 03:19 PM
4	Does anyone else think the concept of game is imaginary? He published another book many years later called 'The End' where he pointed out all the places where the first book was wrong and what he'd learnt in the years of PUA and then actually having a relationship. I do recommend "The End" as a read for ex-PUAs wanting out but claiming Strauss points out "all the places where the first book was wrong" is stretching the content of the book. Actually, Strauss barely mentions "The Game" and the PUA community; I think there's only one mention about PUAs a…	/r/ExRedPill	29/08/20 03:07 PM
8	Trying to Stop Seeing Guys as Competition Following thread for answers. I have the same problem, but worse (not trying to make it a competition, it's just how I perceive it). Years of PUA conditioning have lead me to view other men's success as a menace to my own, even when I wasn't concerned. I viewed seduction as a battle to win, to crush my adversary or be crushed (tried explaining that my therapist and he was pretty confused), which made breakups absolutely unbearable, exponentially so. Whenever I'd hear the story of a friend's frie…	/r/ExRedPill	09/08/20 02:24 AM
1	The terms Alpha Male and Beta Male in regards to dating originally come from a small segment of a book writen in 2007 by a batshit-insane ex-biologist looser who never had any proven sucess in life. He was comparing humans to gorillas. (LONG READ). Not to discredit anything you said but the alpha/beta concept in pua theory is way more ancient than Roosh V. It goes back to the infancy of the pua movement, when Mystery and Strauss were on the first forums. The manosphere kinda exacerbated the idea, but it was already extremely present in the community.	/r/ExRedPill	16/06/20 06:51 PM
7	Looks matter definitely Add to that the quality of the pictures themselves. Professional sunset picture set in a “cool” environment that suggests your interests (beach, mountain, etc) vs shitty 240p webcam pic? Yeah, you’re not helping yourself there. There a reason the PUA community started doing group photoshoots. Even the boring average-looking guy can become the sexiest man in town on Tinder if he puts down the $mahney$.	/r/ExRedPill	08/06/20 04:03 PM
28	Looks matter definitely Fundamentally ugly people are really fucking rare. Incels make it seem as if it’s all mathematics and aerospace engineering with symmetry and shit but really, ugly people are quite rare, as rare as fundamentally gorgeous people. Most who think themselves as ugly are in fact in the average, and can be good looking very easily. It’s all common advice: haircut, fitting clothes, style, health. Literally the first 3 could be done in an afternoon. Race is also waaaayyy overblown by incels. I’ve seen I…	/r/ExRedPill	08/06/20 02:39 AM
1	The ugly truth Nah mate. Just a mediocre human being. Move along.	/r/ExRedPill	22/05/20 08:50 PM
6	A PUA guy tell me that after 150,000 approaches I can get laid with any women in the world even when I looked exactly like quasimodo jaba the hut or smeagol.This sounds really fishy. Man when you quit the mentality that it’s your fault for not “succeeding” with a specific woman, you feel free from so much worry. Years of intense pressure lifted from your shoulders. You can finally breathe.	/r/ExRedPill	20/05/20 05:17 PM
17	Thoughts? Not gona lie they do have a good point imo Women are considered to be more capable of empathy but they are much more cold than men, they move on more quickly, they are more judgemental, and friendship among women are normally just a fight of backstabbing, where did the stereotype come from? Lol. Funny how a weltanschauung can become a heavy bias. You see, none of the statements here are invariably true. Women are colder than men: not necessarily. Quite the opposite, actually, but mainly because men are taught to repress and hide their em…	/r/ExRedPill	25/01/20 06:40 AM
2	Help me not to fall back into red pill thoughts after lies from a love interest Thanks for your response again. Very appreciated. Dunno why you got one downvote.	/r/ExRedPill	22/01/20 06:10 PM
1	Help me not to fall back into red pill thoughts after lies from a love interest Thanks for your input. I really don't see why you are that sad, I mean, you both knew it wouldn't last, and you're sad because he lied to you about the reason of not having sex? Don't feel bad for that. Women do this a lot and most of the times is not the man fault. Quick correction. I'm not exactly sad she didn't want to have sex. That's fine. In fact, I was perfectly fine before I learned about this whole mess. Of course, I was sad when I went away, but it was this kind of beautiful sadness, l…	/r/ExRedPill	18/01/20 07:30 PM
1	Help me not to fall back into red pill thoughts after lies from a love interest Also if she was drunk and horny at that time and that dude escalated quickly, I imagine he had it much easier than you if you guys were sober when initiating sex and you went slow. From what I've been told, she wasn't drunk when she got with the other guy. On the other hand, we had way better logistics for it to happen; private room, a bit of wine. You asked her first if she is okay with sex? Or she told you so when you were naked? I just cant imagine she would resist if you guys were naked and …	/r/ExRedPill	18/01/20 11:30 AM
2	Help me not to fall back into red pill thoughts after lies from a love interest Thanks brother. Just what I needed. Ultimately, you need to work on separating your value as a person from your ability to have sex with women. Who you are has nothing to do with the women you've been with. Being with lots of women doesn't make you a better or worse person, what matters is how you treat yourself and other people. That's the issue at hand. I've been conditioned, like most men, to think that way. The problem is that there is still a lot of sexual experimentations I want to experie…	/r/ExRedPill	18/01/20 11:09 AM
