I often lurk on the red pill subreddit as well as more female dominated subreddits dedicated to dating (female dating strategy, two x chromosomes, etc.). One thing that I've noticed is that the ideal red pill man and non-red pill man (that women on the other subreddits say that they want) embody the same characteristics and are essentially the same person. Women essentially want what the red pill encourages but without the hatred and patronizing view of women. Here's what I mean:
The red pill emphasizes that men should:
- Have a job and make a decent amount of money (maybe even get passive income or a side hustle) and be able to support yourself
- be presentable looking and have good hygiene (work out, eat right, dress better, have a good hairstyle, etc.); also is able to take care of themselves (pay their bills, clean their houses, have life skills)
- not be clingy/ annoying/ constantly texting/ creepy to women; they often emphasize being stoic or the rock of the relationship
- not be a "nice guy" (the guy that is only nice because they want something); they say be an jerk (but what they really mean is the ability to stand up for yourself when you're mistreated)
- have a good group of friends and not make your whole life about your wife or girlfriend; also able to move on if a woman isn't interested in dating them (they call this "oneitis")
- don't watch porn
- doesn't put women on a pedestal (women can be just as bad as men)
two x chromosomes, female dating strategies, and other women dominated subreddits want:
- a guy that has a job and helps out financially (even when the woman makes more money, she still wants the man to contribute somewhat to bills or gifts)
- Be relatively good looking and have good hygiene (I often see posts about women complaining that her partner doesn't wash his butt/ is smelly or is significantly overweight even when the women always put effort into their appearances). I also see a significant amount of posts complaining about weaponized incompetence (boyfriend or husband is not able to cook basic things, operate a microwave or washer/ dryer, doesn't know how to clean things properly, etc.).
- not clingy/ annoying/ upset over little things/ creepy
- not being a "nice guy" (the fake kind that is only nice when they want something)
- has friends/ hobbies
- doesn't watch porn (a lot of posts about how their partners are addicted to porn and how it's negatively impacting their relationship/ view on women); they also complain how their partner isn't receptive to their needs when they're being intimate with each other
- doesn't worship women or make their partner their entire personality or life (often called "wife guys")
- able to handle rejection from a woman with grace and doesn't pester her to change her mind
There are some different nuances and the differences in language between the two groups, but the ideal red pill man and the ideal non-red pill man are essentially the same. The reason that the red pill is viewed negatively by most women is because many of the men that first come across the red pill have negative experiences with women or see women as the enemy/ manipulative and that reflects in their language (such as saying that women don't love men or all women are like that). Also, the reason that many red pill guys have negative views of non-red pill advice is because they often didn't apply the things that women wanted (the points I listed above) until after they started looking at the red pill or they were "nice guys". In conclusion, I think that the red pill and the blue pill (or whatever you would call it) have more in common than they think.
