What's the Blue Pill? And what's give you the feeling you are right?

The blue pill is just kind of a jokey term for not believing in the red pill. Like, you know, if the red pill is "average women can't and don't love average guys, even if they marry them," I'll take the other pill.

So, the moment I realized I was "blue pill" was when I realized the red pill was wrong. Which was pretty soon after I encountered it. TRP makes a lot of claims about women's internal thoughts and motivations that, being a woman who regularly talks to other women about their internal thoughts and motivations, are obviously false to me. I know lots of funny-looking and poor women who are very in love with funny-looking and poor men. In fact, most funny-looking and poor men are married. This is not to say that there isn't a loneliness crisis or a coupling crisis, but it's not caused by women's naturally and eternally shitty nature. In fact, 20 years ago, when gender equality (in the US) was more or less similar to where it is now, there was not a coupling crisis. Interestingly, the coupling crisis seemed to start at around the same time that dating apps became prevalent. So...I think it's the apps.

As for the "bad guy" getting the girl, well...yeah. Human attraction isn't independently sparked by moral virtue, for men or women. Hell, I've been rejected in favor of hotter meaner women with fewer volunteer hours a few times. A lot of media made by men and marketed to boys, especially when I was growing up, said the opposite: if you do all the right things, you'll "get the girl" as a result. This, of course, isn't true for anyone. I agree with TRP on that point.

There is no single blue pill opinion. It just means diagreeing with red pill ideas (women are all attracted to the same 10% of men, women dating men they find unattractive in their 30s, women being promiscuous in their 20s, women prefering men with “dark triad” traits and toxic / abusive men, average women being constantly showered in male attention etc).

I have the opinions I have because of studies and my experience.

Blue Pill is resistance to red/black/pink pill ideology.

As u/Lift_and_Lurk pointed out, a lot of red pillars consider TRP a “toolkit” for understanding relationship dynamics.

Fair enough, but is that how red pillers in these threads really treat these “tools?” No, not at all. They often treat them like gospel, form a particular lens and worldview around them, and insist “this is the way the world works. This is how men and women are.”

So I would say TRP (and black and pink pill as offshoots) is the construction and defense of gender biases as valid and accurate explanations for men and women’s behavior. It’s taking a topographical view of gender differences, and finding explanations to defend those differences as being essential to understanding male and female behavior. In doing so, it often discriminates based on sex and gender in the sense that it presupposes and normalizes sexist interpretations of gender dynamics.

Blue Pill is the liberal/progressive resistance to these gender biases. It’s the refusal to accept sexist/heteronormative and gendered platitudes as a true natural order, a social good, or anything more than social constructs that restrict gender equality by reinforcing patriarchal norms.

Blue pill ideology is harder to define because it exists in opposition to sexism/gender essentialism.

Blue Pill is a fabricated term that only exists in relationship to the Red Pill. It is a complete rejection of the red pill ideology. Similar to Atheist and Christian.

The Red Pill makes way more sense when you realize it originated from and is perpetuated by social outcasts who struggle with women. The advice is terrible, the perspective is unhealthy, and the mindset literally prevents them from being successful sexually/romantically in the way they want to be. It also is just generally extremely negative, and demonizes women. Do you really want to get your tips for life/sexual/romantic success from such a negative view of humanity, originated and perpetuated by social outcasts? You are associating yourself with bizarre losers, and by association, you have become one. Get out of that shit, bro.

I think "blue pill" is anything contrary to the pilled ideologies. It's understanding dating dynamics and relationships are a lot more variant and nuanced than the red pill/pink pill/black pill would have you believe. Where one side its absolute truths and you have to navigate dating with these rules. The other is just NOT that. Understanding people and experiences and things are different. It's not this economic and absolute thing.

In my own experience and going outside you see people who defy pilled logic constantly. Talk to happy couples. So I think understanding love/sex/dating/relationships work differently for everyone.

Yes. I think the "truths" are like a broken clock. There are bad people and yes dating potentially exposes you to bad people. There are shallow people. There are materialistic people. There are unfaithful people. There are abusive people. But you are ultimately in control of this. Dating is just information gathering.

I've seen Red pillers' arguments and viewpoints on this subreddit. I think that the Red pill position upholds certain "truths" that I don't agree with. I see Red pill as part of the manosphere, and I know there were men justifying toxic behavior such as being dishonest with women about your true intentions and encouraging men to behave in this manner. I think that the Red pill encourages fakeness and being performative, over real connection and authenticity. I've read on this subreddit that women overlook nice and decent men in favor of bad boys. I'm not denying it happens, but being blue pill, I think those women are acting stupid and not in their own best interests.

I'm am for calling out hypocrisy in both men and women. This subreddit is a good subreddit overall, and there are some interesting discussions and thoughts being shared on here. I don't disagree with everything Red pillers believe. I believe that men and women are different in their way of thinking and that there are biological differences between the sexes. As for alpha f#cks/beta buxx, I've seen one real-life example of this dynamic, but who knows how widespread this phenomenon or trend really is. I also think it really depends on the Red Piller. Some of them you can tell are bitter and hold resentment towards women as a whole. Others are convinced of the red pill argument, but you can tell that they aren't coming from a place of anger towards women and hurt, so it's easy to engage with them.
