Both pickup and redpill get a bad rep but it's mainly because it is *very* effective.

So why is it better than ScienceTM?

  1. Most psychology/science experiments are FLAWED. Humans are very complex. The Hawthorne effect is a type of human behavior reactivity) in which individuals modify an aspect of their behavior in response to their awareness of being observed. You cannot measure things like "Attraction" in a lab using questionnaires hiding behind a glass pane. Then you have the scientific peer review process which is garbage, with scientists doing p-hacking and other unethical practices just so they can KEEP THEIR JOBS.

PUA or redpillers are actively involved in the entire human courtship ritual. You are not a lab experiment. Then most PUAs/redpillers actively trade their experiences in blogs and build up a consensus based on multiple experiences. Which brings up my next point.

  1. SKIN IN THE GAME. Nasim Taleb, famous statistician have says: To have "skin in the game" is to have incurred risk (monetary or otherwise) by being involved in achieving a goal. In the phrase, "skin" refers to an investment (literal or figurative), and "game" is the metaphor for actions on the field of play under discussion.

A scientist has nothing to gain from a romantic study. Well if the results are controversial or "not popular" there is a risk of losing your job. There is a need to be politically correct.

But a man with a family has everything to lose. The divorces courts will literally chew him up and tear him from his kids. A man can know the pain of forced celibacy. They have skin in the game.

A lot of PUA/Redpill concepts are simply how codified tenets of how men who are successful with women behave. A lot of it is the unpleasant truth.

Most of purplepill discussion/debate is a pointless waste of time because

  1. Too deductive: most of it is just hypothesizing and reasoning about extremely complex human behaviours, without any experience. Redpill inductive: Collecting multiple experiences and extracting common patterns.
  2. Asking women for advice. A lot of what women do to get men isn't going to work the other way around. It's a different game. when you hit on a girl in a bar, she gets an emotional response whether to flirt or not, and it is not a logical calculated process. Asking her to break her own emotional processing patterns into words isn't logical.
  3. Most of the purplepillers are losers. They are scared of actually talking to women.
  4. Bluepill advice is not being realistic. you live in an ideal world.
