The essence of the redpill is coming to terms with the reality of the 21st century culture. A lot of guys are brought up believing the Disney movie myth about relationships - that if they're a nice guy, respectful towards women, study hard in school, get a good job, there will be a nice, attractive girl saving herself for him, and they will marry and live happily ever after - sounds nice, doesn't it? This reality has been extinct for the vast majority of men since the 1950's.

The redpill tells men the reality of the situation - all that simping you did to get her to like you? It was a turnoff. She lost respect for you. All that hard work you put in school to get a good job? Good for you - you can now be a beta provider for the girl who slept with a dozen guys while you spent all those days in the library. Marriage? Congrats - she said yes! You will now work your butt off for a woman who sees you as a guy she "settled down with." Sorry, but you just weren't good enough for her - she wants a divorce. Shame on you for not making her happy! Don't worry - you still get to keep half of your assets. Hopefully you didn't have kids - you won't see them very often.

Sounds like an exaggeration? It really isn't - this is the norm in western countries. What the redpill tells men is not to play by the rules. Instead of being the beta who marries the promiscuous woman, you should become the guy who she was banging in college. "Happy wife, happy life!" No, prioritize your own happiness, not a woman's - if she isn't prioritizing you, why do that for her? Marriage? The laws are heavily biased against you - avoid it. In essence, the redpill warns men of all these traps in life and how to avoid being taken advantage of by women who just want to use you. This is what it comes down to - we live in a society that views men as expendable, telling men to forgo their own self-interest for woman's benefit.

Don't do it. Don't become the doormat. That's the redpill.
