One point I don't understand

You've stumbled across one of TRP's many catch-22s.

Why do you think so many men who start off as Red-Pilled eventually become MGTOWs?

Anyone, male or female, who is too picky will end up having a difficult time finding someone that meets their standards. This becomes especially so when you want things that are immutable and rare. For example, if you wanted a woman between 5'10"-6', platinum blonde hair, one green eye, one blue eye, with perfect teeth, a 6-figure income, no debt, highly educated, who is pleasant to be around and enjoys interesting hobbies, you have basically eliminated the entire planet with your physical appearance requirements. And any woman that may have survived that round of filtering would likely get filtered out with the income/debt requirements.

Admittedly, most guys do not have those types of requirements but it was meant to show how quickly you can filter out the entire world if you want to. The problem I see with a lot of guys in the RP communities is that they say they want a woman who isn't hypergamous, yet they assert that all women are hypergamous.

This should go without saying but people who can afford to be picky are super attractive with lots of options. Others may have to take what they can get i.e. beggars can’t be choosers

RP behavior selects for women who are emotionally unstable and then says "don't date emotionally unstable women."

I think the biggest question is whether or not a person can be picky when choosing a partner. Most people must make a compromise for anything in their life, whether it's the university they attend, employer, a place to live, a car, etc. More often than not, you will not get exactly what you wish or what you think you deserve. The same goes for choosing a partner. All men and women have flaws. Some can be fixed. Some cannot. You have to accept unfixable flaws and focus on those that are fixable.

If you discriminate against someone based on their eye color or height, then you are a superficial, narcissistic asshole, regardless of gender.

Hmm, it's not easy to find your perfect match that is definitely less than 5% of the population but honestly, it also goes the other way around for girls. And you should definitely not set your standard based on a weird female-hating community. Make your own list of traits that you want in a partner and look into yourself if you can offer those same traits :) At least that's how I see it.

I honestly believe the thought through answer is you can't/shouldn't.

You're quite right, everything in RP basically ought to end up MGTOW.

Based on what I've seen the objective appears to simply separate the sexes.
