I think most people who see Red Pill do not grasp that it's a 'program' developed by narcissistic individuals which have a quantifiable self-deception delusional mindset. There are reasons why these people are considered "disordered." There is a reason why they break people in their wake. There is a reason why they cause so much destruction. There is a reason why they need control like it's oxygen and blood. There is a reason why their cults don't last. There's a reason why people end up going c…

Coercing women across borders with false pretenses I think has been the biggest commonality. Even in my own case, I was tricked across international borders, but from the other women I've talked to, they were lured to meet up with their "lover boy" groomer under the typical next stage of being together, getting engaged, getting married, etc. only to be led down a path of being sexually assaulted, recorded and 'exposed' with cherry-picked data, some where raped by his friends, blackmailed into te…

The techniques as far as we've been able to source are intermittent reinforcement, push/pull, operant conditioning, misuse of 'natural' brain programming to achieve their needs, like using fear to stoke a reaction because fear 'naturally' cuts off a brain's ability to think clearly, logically, and rationally, so they do it on purpose, in waves, to do whatever they want basically. There are a few documentaries that are covering Manosphere-specific stuff, but as you know, these things take a long …

Yeah, it's a very hard dating market for women now, so just try to understand what we're up against and try not to take it personal. Most truly good people I'm sure would love it if it wasn't like that so we can have fun, laugh, have great sex, bond, etc., but alas, the bad apples always have to ruin the bunch. :/ From my own recovery from "daddy issues" from men like that, my therapist told me something profound that made a lot of it make sense. Let me see if I can convey it right: If the male …

I've met one of my online loves before and had never done it before that. My side was a crush, and I believed he loved me, but I found out he was just using me for online clout, bait for public humiliation, laughs, abuse, etc. He was a Red Pill pickup artist (I have a point, I promise). Both men and women endure A LOT of pressure from the world, and it gets increasingly difficult to be genuine, "real," and who we want to be simply because of people like my 'crush' that pretended to love me for a…

That's true. He was a big part of my inspiration for my own style of parenting and my kid is utterly awesome. His stuff, even to his day, is pretty controversial in "conservative values" types of families who still believe you can spank and beat your kids into being "good," which has obviously been thoroughly disproven.

Yeah, always. The best one to start with in my mind is C-PTSD by Pete Walker. So many of us walk around with so much trauma we don't even realize we're barely functioning because we've relied on dissociation to carry us through life, but in many cases, those walls will break down around 25-30 and you may have your first mental breakdown. If you're under 40 but around 25 and older, there is a high likelihood you were in the "I got the belt" form of "discipline" when you were younger, so that crea…

I was forced into this misogynistic, brain-melting, and soul-slaughtering drivel during early GamerGate. Therefore, I've had a lot of success talking to those who just needed a little help. Conversely, I ran from some who were totally comfortable with the mind-rape they were taught. Every Red Piller was different. The most significant and most prominent thing I heard from the ones who opened up to me was that, like me, they had been abused as kids and teens. However, their abusers were almost al…

Especially during Covid, a lot of people were. What really matters is how to chose to utilize that time. I used it to study a lot of topics that greatly interested me, like neurology, plants, etc. Many Manosphere men used that time to chronically psychologically abuse women online. Not all online life is bad.

All the ones that make you hate others and yourself to the point where you're focusing on them and making them feel bad about themselves, abusing them, etc. All the ones that say you can't cry and the ones that tell men that women don't like when you're occasionally vulnerable. The list is long.

I 100% get it. I was an early GamerGate hit and it was truly like every male friend I had woke up one day and became these dark monsters that were suddenly J6 supporters when we had just been talking liberal stuff not months prior. They continued to attack my life and social circles for years. It was truly disturbing on every level. This whole thing, plus the QAnon stuff breaks my mind. I just don't get it.

Because they already answered your question: Most people don’t think he is attractive. I honestly don’t know why I’m so into him. With it being the same sentence, it can be assumed that her being "into him" means she's attracted to him. He satisfies her and she's content. That's all you need to know. Plus, you're being ignorant in your other comments, so you being dismissing likely has the group being irritated at you anyways. The fact that you're trying to even quantify it only makes it seem li…

You do realize that a woman being "excited" sexually can come from many other factors than how a person's corporeal shell looks, right? And that it can LITERALLY not matter at all what he looks like? These aren't the Carnie days anymore, man. People get together for a myriad of reasons. Just because you can't calculate and quantify this reality doesn't make the reality false.

That's the wildest thing about all this is that it literally follows all the identifying factors of a cult. It was designed that way. It was created to be a 'cult for men.' It's a brilliant idea, but the core idea is to speak to men's hurts, which are almost all caused by the patriarchy's forced cookie cutter formula and they wanted to continue the generational cookie cutter formula at any cost necessary. This ending was inevitable. :(

I truly believe it's because they're chronically online in toxic places constantly. Many of my male friends got into the Manosphere after we met and OMG did they turn into shitty people. They were fun before, but then became toxic woman-abusers afterward. No thanks.

They cherry-picked the shit out of everything. They went in to create a certain narrative and a cult and they picked the parts that can be thought of as true, while disregarding the rest to appeal to the ignorance of vulnerable men and women who needed help. They suck. lol

Down side is that this isn't really addressing the WHY. When these started splitting was well after feminism's main points were addressed, so is this the after effect of something else, like stock market crashes, housing market crashes, is it even economic at all? Bet you can correlate this with the big exodus from religion and 'church' with those who are 40 and younger, which means it might be things like the Catholic Church scandals, lack of accepting sex negativity, or the rise of Christian N…

Try to remember that one of THE leading cult experts already deemed RP using most of his BITE model on coercive control and they also use well-known ideological subversion techniques, so what you're fighting off is quite literally heavily systematized cult mind rape en masse and fueled with millions of dollars in advertising. No joke. Go research those terms and you can see it for yourself.

I probably have a hundred different reasons to not like men, but in the long run, it doesn't serve you. You can re-channel that disdain into something productive like learning ways you can better protect yourself, but honestly, this gender war is actually a mirage. It's used to get you to hate the other sex, when it should be the "type" of people to hurt others and take advantage. Women can be absolute shit lords too. I've met many of them, but I found that it's better to re-channel that hate in…

Looks for signs of genuine empathy. After being around many highly narcissistic/"anti-social" women, the one thing that's incredibly noticeable once you learn that they cannot FEEL genuine empathy (learned this one from a professional) is that it's difficult for them to define and show. They can learn cognitive empathy like robot coding (ex: a person will feel sad when their dog dies.exe), but that's only for show and a mask. If they truly care, you'll see it even in the smallest of actions (ex:…

DAMN STRAIGHT. If Red Pill was actual truth, it would survive on merit, but it doesn't. They supress their opponents, 'cancel' people who argue with it in a logical way, and overall send their mindless orcs to go do all the hating and stalking until people give up on speaking out against it. They've got nothing to stand on but lies, cherry-picked "science," and an army of hate. That's it. They're not real men, they're babies who can't handle their dissonance bubble being popped.

Just remember, fiat money is a social construct that does not occur "naturally." Economics the way it's structured is designed to make very few successful.

Tell you what. One of the best book sets I learned REAL good information from after dealing with a Red Pill partner was a $25 book from a set called "Degree In A Book". It's obviously not going to give you a degree, but it's a very thorough layout of ACTUAL psychology. It's pretty much a textbook, but it's actually fun to learn from. They have a very wide range of other topics too. It's 100% worth the cost. I think it'll help you fill in a lot of the blanks that Red Pill removed from the narrati…

I personally enjoyed not having social media. Even now, I'm only on one of them. The people that truly care will keep in touch via text or whatever. You will lose a lot of people that you've been connected to through a mirage, but honestly it's great for productivity, chill time, etc. If you're an introvert, you may not mind it, but if you're an extrovert, it might be crippling.

In fairness, people don't realize that Red Pill quite literally uses very textbook cult recruitment strategies that stand the test of time. There are a reason why these problems still exist, why cults still get created, and why just starting a new one when the old one gets found still works. These are people who know the human mind better than most and they take advantage of these facts. The only way for it to not work is to study the WHY of how these things work so that person can protect thems…

This is what's awful about what they did to not only the women, but the men too. I had many male friends end up in the Manosphere and it ended up just making them hateful people that I couldn't even stomach being around. We went from getting along just fine, throwing great banter, playing video games together to all these insane accusations of thoughts I never had, things I've never done, things I would never do...it was a crazy, crazy timeline.

I was subjected to it too for many years. It's incredibly painful. You need to go to therapy to undo the misused conditioning.

Red Pill "coaches" teach men to use operant conditioning on their women without telling her. It's actually very dangerous for them to use without proper training. It can cause her psyche to fracture if she has a history of trauma (which are the women they're taught to target...go figure).

Their "program" is repackaged, but it's a mix of master/slave training, operant conditioning, push/pull to create the addiction, trauma bonding through fear, and a few other things together, which isn't really "natural," so it really fucks up her head. All my data comes from professionals. Take it for what you will.

You're projecting what others might do onto everyone here. Not everyone here is incapable of discernment. On the contrary, it's important for people here to understand the reasons why they're seen as misogynistic, how they've changed their strategies over time to recruit more vulnerable individuals, how much they lie, how distorted the "ideology" is, an…

Yes, I understand. Emotions can be fickle, so my tip would be that as long as you allow her agency to be the person she wants to be, will grow to become, her potential, and all the same aspects you'd appreciate with her giving to you, then the relationship can flourish as is and "natural." Make sure you both want the same things in a relationship, that you have compatible beliefs and values, and most importantly understand that nobody is perfect.

Yes, it's in the old "handbooks" and on the Red Pill archive.

Philosophy is very niche. I found this out the hard way too.
