Are There Canonical Blue Pill Books?

From my experience in here, Blue Pill is an extremely diverse group that doesn’t have one single unifying theory or set of beliefs. It’s a catch all label for those of us who disagree with much/all of TRP. So you would find many different perspectives and there aren’t really any “Blue Pill” authors or influencers. At least defined in that way.

Everyone who doesn’t subscribe to red or black pill is blue. Moreover, you can agree with certain parts of red and black and still be blue because some their parts are just common sense. So there’s one canonical book describing all blue pill advice for dating, moreover, different “blue” books can contradict each other.

Anyway, I didn’t read a lot books about dating, so my list is really short: “Come as you are” by Nagoski about women’s sexuality and “Love languages” (although I don’t like the religious aspect of it, I think it’s a good tool). Also not dating-related but might be useful «Habits of a Happy Brain».

No because the Blue Pill isn’t a real ideology or movement it’s a name made up by TRP to refer to anybody who isn’t red pilled or black pilled

Blue pill isn't a thing the way red pill is.

It's the matrix thing where supposedly the red pill is telling you the truth. Blue pill is supposed to just mean "mainstream" or "normie" or "whatever majority believe"

That means that there is no unifying concept for blue pill. It's just "what is the overall accepted belief about sex and relationships?"

Which is why I find the whole pill thing dumb. Because to me so much of what red pill accuses blue pill of being is just.. Dumb.

Red pill says the truth! Women like hot men!

Red pill truth shows that women... Aren't perfect angels!

... Duh

Sometimes I Think at this stage people who are "blue pill" can be anyone from naive dumb person all the way up to someone who just understands that human beings and anything that involves human beings, are nuanced and not this weird black and white thing that red pill peddles.

Blue pill is only a satirical sub on reddit

In the red pill world, blue pill just means all the mainstream advice and opinions they reject

Basically any dating or relationships book that is popular and rated highly by women. Usualy it will be included in a social skills and people book. Check Amazon and goodreads. Some subs like exredpill have resources too.

If the women are not calling it misogynist or something bad in the comments chance are the blue pill mainstream approve it as a resource for men (besides generally going out and being social). Alot of them are also not instruction manuals, they are novels to show a character that women want you to think like, behave like.

Some examples:

Models - Mark Manson

No more Mr Nice Guy - Robert Glover

How to Win Friends - Dale Carnegie

Attached - Amir Levine

Modern Romance - Aziz Ansari

5 Love Languages - Gary Chapman

The relationship cure - John Gottman

Any Japanese harem manga, light novel or visual novel for guys? Basically, any piece of creative fiction, western or eastern, that shows average men that it's easy to attract women while doing minimal work is going to be heavily Blue Pilled.

I really like Aziz Ansari’s “Modern Romance.” Obviously he’s now synonymous with a questionable/debatable cancellation, but the book is co-written with a sociologist and touches on a lot of common issues with modern dating. I think it’s worth a read.

If nominations are happening right now I'll put forward C.S. Lewis' Four Loves to represent BP Christianity.

An excerpt, discussing "eros", or romantic love

To the evolutionist Eros (the human variation) will be something that grows out of Venus, a late complication and development of the immemorial biological impulse. We must not assume, however, that this is necessarily what happens within the consciousness of the individual. There may be those who have first felt mere sexual appetite for a woman and then gone on at a later stage to "fall in love with her." But I doubt if this is at all common. Very often what comes first is simply a delighted pre-occupation with the Beloved—a general, unspecified pre-occupation with her in her totality. A man in this state really hasn't leisure to think of sex. He is too busy thinking of a person. The fact that she is a woman is far less important than the fact that she is herself. He is full of desire, but the desire may not be sexually toned. If you asked him what he wanted, the true reply would often be, "To go on thinking of her." He is love's contemplative. And when at a later stage the explicitly sexual element awakes, he will not feel (unless scientific theories are influencing him) that this had all along been the root of the whole matter.

To be clear: Lewis was not a creationist and believed in evolution as science. He took issue with the evolutionist philosophical tradition, which is basically taking evolution and applying it to deeper questions like what is our purpose and what the hell are we doing here.

The Blue Pill subreddit likes to throw around Dr. NerdLove and his books. He’s the closest thing you’ll find to canonical blue pill books.

Lanzienator · 2023-01-15T04:41:22+00:00

I would ask r/bropill. They're a great resource!

Anonymous_Salad · 2023-01-15T04:49:10+00:00

Check out Models by Mark Manson. It’s more purple pilled than strictly blue, but I think it’s a great book and there is a huge focus on women being more than objects of desire.

The beginning of the gospels of Matthew and Luke.

Latter-Impression-26 · 2023-01-15T08:28:25+00:00

The bible or probably some daoist philosophers book

No amount of book reading will help you read people better and find chemistry.

Dating and sex is really something you learn on the job. You have to constantly talk to people, see what works and what doesn't. Keep failing and trying again and again.

If you want to be more attractive, improve your mental and physical health. Do some research on male style and try to emulate that.

My partner is short and whilst watching 'gok wans fashion fix' he realised that wearing the same colour top and trousers made him look taller. Little tips and tricks like that make the difference.
