| 3 | What is the story behind the Red Pill?The red pill community began on a pick up artist message board called so suave, around the end of 2004. The person to originate the analogy to the movie the matrix was rollo tomassi, real name George Miller. | /r/ExRedPill | 16/06/26 01:01 AM |

| 1 | I’m on the autism spectrum and never in a relationship at 31, considering genioplastyOn the one hand, I support people pursuing any body modification that they want to do. But on the other hand, I do not believe that the shape of your chin matters enough to justify paying thousands of dollars and risking injury and complications. Autism has nothing to do with it. Autistic people can get relationships if they check off the boxes that really matter. And, the vast majority of people who claim online to be autistic are not actually autistic. Many are self diagnosed. Many have paid f… | /r/ExRedPill | 05/01/26 06:03 PM |
| 0 | If you were following PUAs on YouTube, what was your honest opinion of them back then?I have never followed any pick up artist or even considered being a pick up artist. But I have an anecdote that I would like to share. When I was reading 1 of the 5 volumes of the rational male by rollo tomassi, tomassi wrote that he recommended the pick up artist nick krauser. I glanced at the website of krauser out of curiosity. It said that krauser screens out autistic men. I wrote an email to krauser asking why he screens out autistic men. Krauser wrote to me a very thoughtful response. He a… | /r/ExRedPill | 24/11/25 02:39 AM |
| 5 | What was your honest opinion of Rollo Tomassi?The Rational Male is a 5 volume series. I read the first 4 volumes for research purposes. I have never been a believer in red pill ideas. I postponed reading volume 5 because I got tired of this guy. I might read it someday. I have never listened to the 4 hour YouTube videos of Rollo Tomassi. I have not read more than a little bit of his blog writings. Based on what I have read, the writings of Rollo Tomassi contain many flaws. Rollo Tomassi does not understand the field of evolutionary psycholo… | /r/ExRedPill | 23/11/25 10:30 PM |
| 5 | Hamza Ahmed accused of using steroids but admitted using TRTThe term "steroids" is an inaccurate term. Not all steroids are anabolic. A more correct term is "androgenic drugs". TRT is a form of androgenic drugs. However, the dosages that you can get through a legit prescription are lower than what models, athletes, and bodybuilders inject. TRT usually gets you within a testosterone range which could be produced naturally. This guy Hamza Ahmed is on androgenic drugs aka "steroids", but he does not necessarily have testosterone levels that his viewers coul… | /r/ExRedPill | 31/10/25 10:12 AM |
| 3 | I’m worried that my little brother is becoming a “red piller”I don't have any experience with the topic of this post. However, I want to say that I disagree with people who say that extremist views are somehow immune to logic, reasoning, and evidence. Elsewhere on reddit, I've seen people write things like "trying to reason with him will only drive him further into extremism". I don't think anything is immune to logic, reasoning, and evidence. As for suggestions, I'll repeat a suggestion that I have posted before. Read the most flattering biographies of w… | /r/ExRedPill | 22/10/25 03:13 AM |
| 1 | I’m worried about my little brother.You might not be able to convince him to read anything, but I believe that high quality books can help a person see through many online communities. If he has a generally negative opinion of women, then it might help to read the most flattering biographies of the most impressive women. Those biographies can go a long way toward showing someone how great women can be. | /r/ExRedPill | 21/10/25 10:07 PM |
| 15 | Why is black pill wrong?For one thing, the percentage of men who never find any sexual partner is less than a typical black pilled person thinks it is. Another thing is that, when black pilled people post pictures of themselves online, often but not always, they get told that they are not too ugly to get a sexual partner. Some black pilled people have body dysmorphia, especially regarding their faces. | /r/ExRedPill | 21/10/25 09:52 PM |
| 11 | NO, autistic women do not mask better than autistic menI agree. When people say that women mask better, often they believe that the number of autistic males must be the same as the number of autistic females. This is closely related to the hypothesis that male and female brains are biologically the same. They rule out the possibility that professional diagnosis is more accurate than people say it is, and that the number of autistic males really is about 4 times the number of autistic females. In the DSM, there is no difference at all between male au… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/10/25 04:43 PM |

| 1 | Questioning/Ex Incels: What made you re-evaluate? (18+, any gender, must have previously identified as an Incel/engaged with online Incel communities)Another thing is that the subreddits called BodyDysmorphia and BDDvent probably contain people who have believed black pill ideas. Neither subreddit explicitly bans research or survey posts. However, by even realizing that they have body dysmorphia, those people show signs of awareness that they aren't as unattractive as they feel. But I think both subreddits probably contain former believers in black pill ideas. | /r/ExRedPill | 21/09/25 03:09 PM |
| 1 | Questioning/Ex Incels: What made you re-evaluate? (18+, any gender, must have previously identified as an Incel/engaged with online Incel communities)You might have already tried this, but the subreddit called ugly probably has believers in black pill ideas, in many cases without them even realizing that they agree with black pill ideas. That subreddit officially bans black pill aka "incel" comments. But that might be merely a way to prevent reddit from banning the subreddit. It is likely to attract the same people who most connect with black pill ideas, perhaps without realizing it. I also would have suggested the subreddit called virgin.

| 2 | Questioning/Ex Incels: What made you re-evaluate? (18+, any gender, must have previously identified as an Incel/engaged with online Incel communities)I have never been a believer in either of the red pill or black pill communities. This subreddit is about red pill ideas, not black pill ideas, which are very different. There are other subreddits where you will probably get better responses than here. Off the top of my head, I can recall subreddits called DebateIncelz, IncelSolutions, IncelExit, ForeverAlone, FA30plus, and probably others that I'm forgetting. | /r/ExRedPill | 20/09/25 12:50 AM |

I'm not the right guy for your study. However, I just want to note that the red pill online community is very different from the black pill online community. Are you studying them separately? And if not, why not? The red pill community is far more financially motivated. There are red pill gurus charging thousands of dollars for private coaching.

With so many worthless degrees being churned out of today's universities, it's great to see someone learning how to do something valuable that can help you, your family, your country, and other countries.

If your degree is in social sciences or humanities, then your degree probably is not worth missing out on drunken parties. If your degree is in an engineering field, then getting high grades will probably help your personal life more in the long run than any interactions while an undergraduate. All things considered, I regret not majoring in mechanical engineering more than I regret the fact that I did not say anything to the other undergraduates at my univer… | /r/ExRedPill | 26/07/25 05:55 PM |

| 2 | Hobbies that could make you better with women?I am not a pick up artist, so I probably shouldn't post here. But I want to say that I would never pursue a hobby in which I was not genuinely interested. If I'm not genuinely interested, then I will never be very good at it, and I probably won't stick with it for very long. I also doubt there is any hobby that will get me the interest of more than a small number of women. And also it would be very unpleasant to work hard on a hobby that was intended to impress women. | /r/seduction | 28/03/25 05:06 PM |
| 1 | Is it possible for a 30 year old delusional, narcissist to stop being red pilledThere already is 1 book in print, about which I know, that is intended to debunk the men's red pill community. It is called "Red Pill Ideology" by Cynthia Payne. I have not read it. I will get around to reading it probably within the next few weeks. After I read it, I could comment further about the quality of "Red Pill Ideology" by Cynthia Payne. | /r/ExRedPill | 11/03/25 01:52 AM |

I do not know if or when my book will be finished or published. If my book is published, then I am confident that I can shake a guy out of the red pill community. Right now, there already are books and academic articles that explain a lot of the flaws in men's red pill ideas.

| 4 | What do you make of the redpillers' stories?I have not read any of the red pill message boards and other sources where men post their stories. What I would say is that it would be possible to cherry pick anecdotes in a way that supports a lot different narratives. Here on reddit, I could cherry pick anecdotes in a way that makes men look worse than women. I could also cherry pick anecdotes in a way that makes women look worse than men. | /r/ExRedPill | 03/03/25 01:28 AM |

| 4 | Thought on Strong Successful Male?I have never seen this YouTube channel, nor do I plan to. I have noticed that there is an enormous number of YouTube channels of people who want to be gurus about attraction, dating, relationships, sex, or some combination of those things. I do not watch the videos of any of those YouTube channels. To the extent that I would want to learn about those topics, things like YouTube and tik tok are probably not the highest quality sources. | /r/ExRedPill | 27/02/25 01:40 AM |
| 0 | Alpha males and beta males don't existThis post is very good. In order for the terms alpha male and beta male to be real concepts, I would need to define them very carefully. But for the way these 2 terms are often used in everyday discourse, to suggest that there is 1 type of man that is always attractive and 1 type that is always unattractive, is an oversimplification, and very different from what these terms mean in zoology. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/02/25 01:27 AM |
| 5 | Ever heard the term "natural"?I think the term "natural" originates in the pick up artist community, which predates the red pill community. It's been about 19 years since I read it, but I think the book "The Game" by Neil Strauss introduced many people to the term "natural". | /r/ExRedPill | 24/02/25 04:40 PM |

| 1 | Celebrities disprove the red pill ideologyI think it is very unlikely that a celebrity as famous as Taylor Swift, or for that matter any of the celebrities listed in the post, has ever had casual sex while a celebrity. Casual sex is more difficult for celebrities than non-celebrities. If someone as famous as Taylor Swift went into a nightclub and had public restroom sex right there at the nightclub, then she would be recognized and the story would spread all over the world. If a non-celebrity woman has public restroom sex at a nightclub… | /r/ExRedPill | 01/02/25 08:17 AM |

Do they fit the profile that red pill philosophy says they should? Based on the evidence I know about the most desirable women, I would say no. For a celebrity woman who is considered among the most desirable women in the world, ask yourself, did she end up having sex with a red pill guy who shows no femininity or emotion, and who is always playing… | /r/ExRedPill | 28/01/25 09:35 PM |

As another commenter pointed out, the minority of women for whom it is important can be "surprisingly vocal", giving the illusion that it matters far more than it really does. I am reluctant to bring up the theory of evolution on this subreddit. I have had people on this subreddit tell me that evolutionary psychology is a "just so story" or a pseudo science.

| 11 | Celebrities disprove the red pill ideologyIn addition to the number of partners, I find it interesting to look at the personalities of the men who attract the most desirable women. There are many examples of this. When I was younger, some people considered Shania Twain the most desirable woman in the world. When producer Mutt Lange attracted her, he had written some feminine and emotional music. Mutt Lange had a lot going for him and he checked off a lot of boxes.

Every minute that you spend on those message boards could have been spent on something else, including things that can make you more attractive. | /r/ExRedPill | 08/01/25 04:00 AM |

But if Max and Miller just want men to be healthy, then why are they against the big gym chains?

Some parts of the book would make an inauthentic man who is calculated to attract women, and who is not being his more natural self. There are some ideas in the book that would help me if I did them. But the sheer quantity of those ideas makes it an impossible way to attract women. Between Geoffrey Miller and Tucker Max, Geoffrey Miller is the more interesting person to read.

However, that book has some of the worst workout advice ever. That book recommends against the big gym chains. I have had memberships to some of the big gym chains.

Sociobiology, the precursor to evolutionary psychology, has been reputable and well accepted since the 1970s, decades before there was any red pill philosophy.

He said that he got sex using the teachings of Ross Jeffries and Mystery. He also made the comment that he would be a 40 year old virgin if he had not discovered the pick up artist community.

Or, at least, “as” sexually/physically attracted as they had been to other dudes/hookups/ONS/etc.Survival sex is when a person who does not have shelter or food has sex with a person as a way of getting shelter and food.

I am in my 40s, and it is preposterous to suggest that I could ever catch up to almost anyone else.

This post touches on some of the reasons why I do not plan to go to bars. For one thing, I don't drink alcohol. The drinks are so expensive that a few drinks costs more than a month of the paid membership to a dating app. People who spend a lot of time in bars are not the highest quality and most attractive people.

| 1 | Most women don’t pick men based on their status or moneyRight now, the number of women completing university degrees is more than the number of men completing them, in the United States, Canada, and some other countries. That makes it more difficult for women with university degrees to find men who they can accept. And I agree that degrees are overrated. I have a university degree, and I have read hundreds of nonfiction books. I have learned more from being a reader than I have from courses. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/10/24 02:27 AM |
| 5 | Most women don’t pick men based on their status or moneyThis post is completely wrong. Women who have status and money tend to only want men with at least as much status and money as them.

| 4 | Why online dating is the holy grail for introverted/shy dudesOnline dating is a polarizing topic on reddit. My biggest concern is age filters. On a dating app, women will only see me if her profile is set to show her a man my age. Anywhere other than a dating app, a woman will see what I look like first, then find out what it is like to talk with me, and later find out my age (if she asks for that information at all). For a guy like me in his 40s who looks younger, dating apps are a very limited opportunity. Most dating app women will never see the profil… | /r/seduction | 10/10/24 11:18 PM |
| 3 | What are you guys opinion about nice guy, bad guy trope?Women are not attracted to mean men because they are mean. Woman tolerate mean men because they are attractive. Being mean won't work for you, if you are unattractive. | /r/seduction | 10/10/24 07:00 PM |
| 1 | Is inviting someone over on a first date a bad move?Yes it is a bad move. Many if not most women will assume you want casual sex. Most women will refuse to go to your place, and you will get fewer second dates. | /r/seduction | 09/10/24 07:11 PM |
| – | Women are not attracted to being treated badly. They are treated badly by men they are attracted to. Treating them badly as a low value man is not effectiveI agree with this post. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/10/24 05:43 PM |
| 3 | Tried following the advice on this sub - now she’s furious and saying I was harassing her?"I find this post hilarious. That is exactly what I thought would happen if a guy literally does what pick up artists say to do. I know I wouldn't want some guy grabbing at me, so why would these women want it? | /r/seduction | 09/10/24 05:42 PM |
| 11 | i cant let these msyonistic thoughts out of my head, any advice?Read nonfiction books that take an opposing point of view. I've always liked to read opposing books, so that I get to hear both sides of the story. | /r/ExRedPill | 09/10/24 05:21 PM |
| 1 | Women hate sluts more than men doAccording to the psychologists that I have read, slut shaming is primarily something that women do to other women, typically in an effort to compete with their reputations. Although there are men who would avoid a slut for long term relationships, it is woman vs. woman competition that drives slut shaming. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/10/24 02:44 AM |
| 32 | Q4M: Do males actually hate sluts?No. However, sluts are considered more desirable for short term relationships than for long term relationships. I'm sure you already knew that. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/10/24 07:10 PM |
| – | Women don't want 'better than them', they want 'better than other men' (especially with regards to height).I agree with this post. For almost anything, I am being compared to her other male options, and not to any women. If most men were 7 feet tall, then women would expect me to be more than 7 feet tall. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/10/24 08:27 PM |
| 1 | A man expecting women to accept them when they are young and broke is like expecting men to accept a women when she fatI think that the position of this post is often true, but not always. Male students in medical schools have a lot of success with women. And once a man is in a medical school, his probability of becoming a medical doctor is high. I think that part of it depends on the man's probability of realizing this potential. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/10/24 03:30 PM |
| 1 | Can’t do this shit while I’m broke 😭If you're that poor, then focus on your career first and worry about dating later. In the long run, you're better off that way. | /r/seduction | 05/10/24 04:49 PM |
| – | Yes - your past does matterFor strictly heterosexual sex, the average body count for men and women must identical. That is because each copulation adds either a 1 or a 0 to exactly 1 man and 1 woman. If you include homosexual sex, then the average body count is higher for men than for women. It will documented that gay men have more sexual partners on average than lesbians do. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/10/24 02:25 PM |
| 4 | Are more women excited by non-'chads' than people think?It is very difficult to say what either men or women want, because there is a large difference between what people say and what they do. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/10/24 12:45 AM |
| – | Approaching women in a limited pool of your social circle poisons this pool for youI think that's usually true. Approaching women can harm your reputation very quickly. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/10/24 02:51 PM |
| -1 | Trauma-Bonding is the most effective means of keeping a women's emotional investment in youI don't have a position in this debate. However, I think that some women can be repulsed and driven away by a man who is too affectionate, nice and good. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/10/24 02:21 PM |
| 1 | I'm needy because I only got one success from cold approachI believe that cold approaching is one of the most difficult ways to meet women. 1 success is 1 more than I would have expected. | /r/ExRedPill | 27/09/24 01:36 AM |
| 27 | Approaching woman at the gymThe gym is the best place to see attractive women, and one of the worst places to try to talk to attractive women. | /r/seduction | 26/09/24 09:44 PM |
| 1 | My first dates 9 times out of 10 don't go anywhere.. feel more like interviews or a catch up with a colleague than anything else. Any advice?I believe that there is a bias against men with disabilities, both physical and mental. I believe that evolution is the reason for that. Women evolved to want to mate with men who are healthy and athletic, both physically and mentally. | /r/seduction | 26/09/24 03:07 AM |
| 2 | Those men who have asked out huge numbers of women and eventually managed to land a partner, how do you feel about it?Doing that would get you a relatively small pool of women, although I think they would be a relatively well selected pool. I am aware that many people have met partners through friends of friends. I'm happy for you, but I doubt that doing that is getting as much results in today's world as the dating apps. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/09/24 09:31 PM |
| 18 | Those men who have asked out huge numbers of women and eventually managed to land a partner, how do you feel about it?All of the options for meeting women are rough, if you're not in the top 5% of men. When I hear about the failure of most men who do cold approaching, that illustrates why I think that dating apps are an improvement over things like cold approaching, bars, nightclubs, joining women's hobbies, and other things that were more common before the rise of dating apps. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/09/24 03:15 AM |
| 0 | I DON'T buy that men who date a younger woman do it because they're easier to manipulateSometimes it is about the person and not the age number. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/09/24 11:16 PM |
| 1 | Only telling men to self improve is bad adviceI recommend simultaneously trying to meet women and trying to self improve. You can work on yourself until you are 100 years old, and you will never run out of things about yourself that you could improve. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/09/24 11:38 PM |
| 0 | If you go to bars solo, should you lie about why you're there alone?If you are a "pick up artist" or a "seduction community person", then I think you kinda have to lie about why you are in that bar at all. | /r/seduction | 18/09/24 09:51 PM |
| 1 | Kissed girl too early ?Possibly. But if she didn't reject or refuse the kiss when it happened, there's a chance she didn't mind. | /r/seduction | 17/09/24 03:06 AM |
| 14 | Stop Being a White Knight About SexWomen are diverse. Some of them probably are as you describe, but not all. | /r/seduction | 15/09/24 05:44 PM |
| 2 | How do I make a move on my girlfriendIf she's your girlfriend, then it shouldn't be all that difficult. I would ask permission for various forms of physical contact. Some people call this "affirmative consent". | /r/seduction | 13/09/24 11:04 PM |
| 0 | Banned from dating apps forced to approach IRLIt isn't Match.com, it is Match Group. Match Group owns Match.com and other companies, including Tinder and Hinge. Match Group has something like 70-80% of the active user base, so not quite a monopoly. Although it is rare, there have been some people who got a ban reversed through the appeal process, as discussed in r/SwipeHelper | /r/seduction | 11/09/24 05:49 PM |
| 1 | Banned from dating apps forced to approach IRLHinge and Tinder bans are done by computer programs. They most definitely have banned many people for erroneous reasons. There are ways to get around a ban from Tinder and Hinge. Those ways are discussed on r/SwipeHelper | /r/seduction | 11/09/24 05:48 PM |
| -1 | CMV: You should be your partner's ONLY source of sexual fulfillmentNo. Masturbation should be an option for everyone. Although many people on reddit are fanatically against pornography, I personally am in favor of pornography. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/24 04:37 PM |
| 3 | No one, not even women, can actually read the room properlyI don't have a firm position in this debate. But as an aside, I believe that many autistic people believe a fantasy of what life is like for neurotypical people. Neurotypical people are not mind readers. The difference between a neurotypical and an autistic person is often exaggerated. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/09/24 06:09 PM |
| 1 | Men of reddit would you have a problem if your girlfriend was a Cuckquean?I would not want to be the reason why my girlfriend missed out on what she wanted sexually. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/09/24 12:13 AM |
| 1 | Men don't want empathy, they want powerFeeling sorry for someone and feeling attracted to them are 2 things that tend to not go together. The post used the term "pity sex", and I don't know anyone who gets pity sex. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/09/24 05:40 PM |
| 1 | Is it normal to approach women at shopping malls, stores and the street?It's probably less common than it was a few decades ago. The pickup artist community had its peak in the late 1990s or early 2000s. That is why many pickup artists currently use dating apps. | /r/seduction | 08/09/24 05:23 PM |
| 2 | Do you think women are more bigoted then men?No, but one of the other commenters is right that person's rational views do not necessarily match a person's attraction. For example, a woman who rationally supports homosexuality might be repulsed by the idea of dating a bisexual man. And the same thing happens with men. I am not suggesting that either gender is better than the other. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/09/24 04:40 PM |
| 2 | Every man should live the fuckboy lifestyle if they can at some pointThere certainly are some men who will love the fuckboy lifestyle until they might eventually get bored of it. However, I think some men will get more out a higher quality lower quantity approach. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/09/24 01:06 AM |
| 6 | I think the number 1 cause of the loneliness epidemic in America is obesity or the health/fitness crisisI am not sure if the body is the #1 problem, but I think it is much more significant than most people realize. Many thin people have not tried being an overweight person seeking romance or sex. However, also keep in mind that, beyond some level, a great fitness routine can harm your social life. If your nutritional guidelines are so strict that you can't eat in restaurants or go to bars, then that will negatively effect your opportunities for dating and a social life. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/09/24 12:19 AM |
| 29 | Getting rejected by 200+ women in a row... now what?Make higher quality efforts, directed at a much lower quantity of women. | /r/seduction | 05/09/24 11:00 PM |
| – | You Can’t Argue your Way to Success in DatingI agree 100% with this post. A person either is or isn't attracted to you. It is possible for someone to be impressed by your debating skills, but I think that represents very little of the reasons why people might consider someone attractive. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/09/24 08:23 PM |
