You adressed it about others. But didn't consider it could be true to you as well.

Confirmation bias

I explained this in my other post, but I will try to summarize it here for the potential onlookers: It's SERPs who are trying to change their beliefs, and therefore it's their responsibility and their time to listen when someone tries to help them with that. If they are left confused, it's on them to ask questions. I don't see why misguided attempts would make them more committed to TRP. If they are here, they are already seeing some of the issues with it. If someone disagreeing with them in a c…

I actually see the opposite more often, but I assume we are both biased. I guess the core issue is that ERPers think that they are the biggest victims of RP, but it's not correct. There is no doubt they are victims, and there should have space for processing their involvement, especially in this sub. But this ideology actually hurts women more than the RPers. Remember that it actively fueled political and religious extremism in the past decade. Women are literally having their bodily autonomy ta…

Edit: I did check the links you mentioned and realized I did go through them before. I thought it was something new, but it really wasn't. I'm confident that I understand the concepts and I'm under the impression that NRP feminists do too. It's RPers who don't understand what they are saying (assuming well intentioned ignorance). Just to be clear, I am an ex-RPer feminist. I personally think that I do show leniency for people who genuinely want to get out of the RP headspace, but plenty supposed…

Well, most of the posts are made by supposed ex red pillers who still spout RP BS. And when people tell them what they got wrong, they get defensive most of the time. Some arguing until it gets personal, then another ex-RP jumps in to defend the RP BS the OP said. I agree that a flair would be useful.

Why are you worried, if you don't mind me asking? What matters is that you know what you don't want and you can communicate that. And if someone pressures you or does it anyways, you can recognize it happening.
/r/ExRedPill12/02/24 11:42 AM

But why don't you include an explanation of the concept in the post itself? I've been wondering a lot about why it almost looks like the majority of posts are RPer posts, and I guess this is it. Posters commonly jump to the point expecting answers about the thing they didn't write down. RP isn't a monolithic subculture either. I was an RPer some time ago but I didn't keep up for the sake of my own sanity. I'm happy to deconstruct the stuff I used to believe, but how can we compare beliefs if the…

I'm sorry this is how you've been living your life. I can't imagine how it must feel to live with a mind where a simple observation is "mewling". Times have changed, you don't have to act tough all the time anymore.

How do you answer meaningless questions? You point out how the question is the wrong one. Imagine I asked you why a year had 30 days. Imagine you explained that a year is roughly 365 days, not 30, that it's months that have 30 days on average, and that a year is divided into 12 months. And you say roughly because a planetary year is different from a calendar year... And then I get angry with you for "not answering my question" and repeating it, demanding another explanation.

What concerns me is why do you want to know? Why do red pillers care? Studies like this are interesting, for sure, but I'm afraid that many people care about this only because they want to justify violence against women. Realistically, the only women whose fantasies are relevant to you are your consenting partners' who choose to share them with you.

Logic isn't important. Their arguments are poor and only good enough to be repeated over and over to indoctrinate those who interact with the ideas.

I don't know if this answers your question, but to my shame, I did follow moderate RP content in the past. I can't speak for my partners of those dark days, but I will try. I think they had a pretty easy time with me. See, if women want equal treatment, they will have to assert themselves daily. (Even now, in a loving relationship with a man, we have to point out bad habits, that come from patriarchal beliefs, to each other.) This assertion can be a huge source of conflict. Many men wouldn't lis…

This whole rating system messes you up. You put yourself down while also objectifying women. You are too concerned about what others find attractive, how it affects everyone, and ruminate about it. You don't need all this negativity to find a partner. It's natural to want physical attraction, but it looks like you don't really feel it unless someone is unusally attractive. In my experience, that is a sign that someone uses too much visual stimulation, if you know what I mean. Is this something y…

I think that is a fair observation to make. At the sam time, it would worry me if this many men jumped to a generalized conclusion, especially if the very same men would expect women to not do the same. There are plenty of great resources for abuse victims, even here on Reddit, so there really isn't an excuse for men to turn to these ideologies instead. For the record, I did date a woman with ASPD in the past. (I didn't know it at the time.) And I didn't end up thinking that all women I date wou…

This is a strawman argument. I never said it was unethical (as long as there is no coersion). And I don't think it should be stopped or whatever. It's the participant's choice. What I'm more interested in is why men like you or OP are so desperate to partake in something that doesn't serve them. You try to measure your worth based on how many people you can stick it in, when both of you are too drunk to remember the next day, or how flattering of an image are you able to photoshop of yourself on…

For hookups? Probably. But dating isn't just hookups, either.
/r/ExRedPill15/01/24 11:06 PM
7

The science is also looking clear, hookup culture only benefits a fraction of men. And then these observations will incorrectly bleed over general approaches about relationships (like RP). Also, see my edit.
/r/ExRedPill15/01/24 10:22 PM

Yes, I would, while emphasizing that I respect their choice. Just like here. Edit: and oh, by the way, we are adressing a particular issue here. Trying to partake is so discouraging the OP that he doesn't even meet his friends. Of course I will suggest a change, not to shame them (as there is nothing to be ashamed of), but because that's what I think would help him. If a woman complains that her casual dates are disrespectful to her, I would tell her to quit casual dating. Not because it's someh…

I said not as much. I know plenty of women who go out with men that aren't conventionally attractive. You also seem to have an attitude problem. I don't intend to downplay your difficulties and say that change your attitude and it will surely change the outcome, but I'm also sure other women sense this attitude, as well. You also talk about "sexual success". That is clear RP ideology. In my opinion, hookup culture is toxic. You are free to participate, but for the average man, it's going to be a…

As a woman, I have a feeling that you care about this way more than the women you and your friends meet. The fact that this is ruining your friendships/social life is your sign to go to therapy.

Oh, please. Women had been told to put up with BS we would never tolerate from ourselves. We are waking up. No need to be upset about it. And even if we had standards "too high" (whatever that means), what do you expect from pointing it out? In my mother tongue, there is a saying "It's not the bun that's too small, it's your mouths that's too big." You can call someone greedy but it won't make them magically satisfied with less. You also make the assumption that people with high standards are un…

More women have degrees now than men. That's correct and also irrelevant, unless you suggest that men cannot deal with women having opportunities in education. The switch (and that's a generous term) in statistics isn't a switch in dinamic. There is a major difference, and that is that the inequality in gendered opportunities are subsiding. Men can still study if they want to. In the past, women couldn't do the same. Competitive mating in humans is a myth. Men not being able to compete is not a …

There was also no strawman or prejudice as I didn't judge you as a RPer, I said you sounded like one. You're not wrong about society changing, men not finding their place, not having role models and being slow to catch up with changes. These facts should never be excuses and maybe you didn't mean it that way. But also, please recognize that in other context, pointing out existing patterns to explain a group working to opress another wouldn't be acceptable. Imagine if there was a surge in racism …

People don't owe you their company. They don't owe it to you, even if you're a good person, even if they give it to a bad person. People don't owe you to consider justice when they choose to date or reject you. Our society should strive for equal rights for everyone. Dating isn't a right. This is a space for people who want to learn about human rights, specifically women's rights, on a deep level. It's not a space to argue about some men's non-rights. If you think fairness in dating is important…

It's perfectly okay. Just don't focus on it too much. I haven't seen your post, but I suspect that you simply gave off the wrong impression. Exit communities are and need to be heavily moderated, because extremists will do everything to re-recruit people to their communities. I see it in this sub every day. Plus, it can also be triggering for some people. Some people try to quit the habit of reducing women to their appearances. Conversely, plenty of women have trauma about being objectified arou…

I'm sorry, but what you're describing isn't asking her out, you're asking her to plan a date with you. She doesn't have a specific bar in mind. Cool. You pick now and make a plan. Edit: and I'm sorry to be that person, but the fact that you take her response as rejection, make up a whole scenario in your head and get angry about it is a big red flag. Maybe heal first, before dating?

Social hierarchies exist, but not the way you are describing. In great ape communities, leaders are NOT chosen by physical attributes but social skills. This includes an ability to cooperate with others. People who deem themselves superior to others, are more disagreeable than others, which means they would be an unfit leader by these standards. In other words, if you insist on using these terms, then by your own definition, anyone who uses them, is not an 'alpha'.
/r/ExRedPill10/01/24 01:39 PM

No such thing as alpha. And what do you mean by dangerous? Every human being can be dangerous.

In other words, attraction depends on the two people's personalities. How shocking. Also, categories like alpha or beta, at least the way RP describes it, simply don't exist.

It's an ideology and/or subculture that tries to justify misogyny with pseudoscience. The followers are roughly either 1) men who hate women 2) teens who had been groomed into it through social media 3) women who fell for the pseudoscience. The effects must be obvious from these.

I agree with you but not for the reasons you are giving. Humans have been coming up with BS justifications to take things from each other since forever. Now it's sx and red pill. Earlier, it wasn't called red pill, but they still used victim blaming to justify rpe. People had been coming up with entire ideologies and religions to take power, land, resources etc., or at least to justify hurting those who had them. It's nothing new at all.

I would only call someone red pill who identifies with a certain set of beliefs, that they also don't consider mainstream. The issue is, most of these things are VERY mainstream. RP is just a symptom of these societal beliefs. Kind of like Nazism - it builds on people's existing prejudices but backs it with some pseudoscientific explanation. So I wouldn't necessarily call your ex a RPer, just a guy with bad influence. Which, in a way, is more terrifying. The way I view RP is that it's a terroris…

Well, that's something to work on, then. That's the issue with being easily manipulated. It doesn't just hurt you, it makes you easily radicalized. (Maybe it's a reach, but maybe this is why you're attracted someone way older? It's not necessarily bad, just something to consider.)

You say you have too little experience when it comes to men, so you believe them. You also say you have too little experience when it comes to women, so you don't believe them. That IS misoginy. The way you talk about your girlfriend is also telling. If you break up with her, she cries a little, and gets over you? That sounds very dehumanizing.

Please do open up to her. Please tell her you love her. By not doing so, you might do the same thing to her as what was done to you. If she doesn't respond to your feelings well, she isn't a 'good one' as you put it. Look further. Please consider this.
