7	What pisses me off the most about redpillers I don't think the goal is to be happy, but instead the goal is to be "High Value". They internalize certain ideals for men and women from the rest of society, and then "The Red Pill" articulates and formalizes these ideals into a coherent ideology. Deep down they want love and acceptance, but they are told that love from high value people is better, and that only high value people are accepted. The Red Pill is a lot more explicit in these assertions, but society in general tends to say similar t…	/r/ExRedPill	15/04/24 08:13 PM
12	I feel like the red pill is much more optimistic than what I see here The problem people have with the red pill is that: it insists that women are attracted to a certain kind of man, even when women say otherwise, even when you see other kinds of men in happy marriages to women It often uses this to justify manipulation of women It really seems to value sex with women. Becoming a "high value man" is usually about becoming desirable to women. It is often assumed that men always want sex, or even need it. This belief exists through out the modern world, but it more …	/r/ExRedPill	15/04/24 06:32 AM
9	That's the deal with using "Female" It is usually in the context of explaining their theories of evolutionary psychology, claiming that women are controlled by principles that would apply to females of any species. Red Pill theory rests on the idea that humans are all animals driven by instinct with relatively little agency over our sexual behavior, which is ultimately very dehumanizing. It is worth noting that while they sometimes do the same for men, they usually give men a lot more agency. Even if dehumanization was not their g…	/r/ExRedPill	12/04/24 01:56 AM
9	Who else has autism/aspergers? Is there an option for definitely has autism but not sure if you're redpilled? I wouldn't be the only autistic person to get frustrated with how dating normally works. There is a lot of vague rules, unspoken rules, tests of your social skills, little white lies. So it is extra tempting to look towards anything that would make it more clear or easier, though of course neurotypical people can also have these frustrations, though it is less intense. Redpill of course claims to simplify things and o…	/r/ExRedPill	06/08/23 09:38 AM
1	If you're a feminist, what's wrong if a man is redpilled? There is a list of problems, but I guess the short version of the story is that Redpill claims all women want the same kind of alpha male, even though women claim otherwise (implying women cannot be trusted) and it tells men that they need to be this aggressive domineering alpha male to get women (encouraging aggressive, domineering behavior and ultimately abuse).	/r/ExRedPill	29/07/23 04:50 AM
4	Why should I get off the red pill? You can look to psychology for relationship advice and self improvement advice. Admittedly popular psychology articles are not completely reliable, but at least they try to base their ideas on actual science. "Dr Nerdlove" is a PUA turned feminist who debunks a lot of Redpill beliefs while also giving actual advice on how to get a girl. He might be the ONLY source of non-sexist dating advice for men but he has been doing it for a long time and covers a number of topics. Unfortunately any advice …	/r/ExRedPill	08/01/23 09:20 AM
3	Sexual Market Value There are some qualities that are high in demand and low in supply, but that list would include a lot of the most wholesome qualities, such as kindness, consideration, integrity. Unfortunately the most shallow qualities are also the ones that are the most immediately apparent. It is hard to tell if the person is really kind or just trying to impress you, but easy to tell if they are hot or not. Economic theory assumes people have perfect information, so the better the information the more things…	/r/ExRedPill	29/12/22 08:02 AM
2	Is not having an ambition caused by depression or am I just making excuses for myself? It is hard to choose an ambition when you don't feel enthusiastic about any of the options. It is hard to feel enthusiastic about anything when you have depression. "Anhedonia" is the inability to feel pleasure or joy in things and is one of the more common features of depression. Losing the sort of enthusiasm that would inspire your towards a life ambition is a text book symptom of depression. Things like feeling tired all the time, or focusing on the bad things that happen (including getting r…	/r/ExRedPill	02/12/22 05:36 AM
2	Turns out that kindness and companionship is the biggest turn on for men and women What the article should have included but didn't is a study on relationship satisfaction. I don't know the numbers off hand, but apparently how satisfied people who are already in a relationship feel with that relationship doesn't really correlate with any measurable demographic, including the ones that represent status (income, educations, etc) or physical attractiveness (height, weight, etc).	/r/ExRedPill	24/11/22 09:37 AM
9	The meaninglessness of the term "hypergamy". It seems to be based on whatever that individual is the most insecure about.	/r/ExRedPill	13/04/22 04:25 AM
10	Is it really just a numbers game, after all? Ironically the more you move away from the belief that all women want the same thing the more you need to make dating a numbers game. If different women want different things in a man then you need to find a woman who wants what you have, and that means getting to know a lot of women. Really the fact that PUAs and Redpillers advocate the numbers game is proof that not all women want the same thing. If all women wanted the Alpha Male then the guys who are sufficiently Alpha who seduce the first w…	/r/ExRedPill	06/04/22 07:20 AM
1	"A partner can't make you happy" I think it is usually a reference to people with significant psychological issues that overestimate how much a partner will help. While it certainly would be a good thing, a romantic partner probably isn't going to be enough to fix low self esteem, depression, anxiety, let alone anything more serious. Maybe having someone say "I love you" will provide the reassurance you need to finally love yourself, but if the issue is serious distorted thinking can cause a person to dismiss or misinterpret "I…	/r/ExRedPill	05/04/22 05:35 PM
