Signs & Symptoms

You're a Red Pill veteran. You’ve gone through the entire sidebar, you post and comment, you can look back on your Blue Pill days and laugh because you’re doing so much better, now. After poring over every ounce of knowledge the sub has to offer, you’ve found you have no interest in being in that pick up artist community, it just sounds neckbeardy, and you don’t want shallow hook ups, you want a real Red Pill relationship where you are the captain and she’s your first mate. You’ve applied the concepts, things go better, but they aren’t perfect. If you have a problem, it’s easy to go to askTRP, see all the other questions asking for advice on how a real man would treat that girl, and get some hard-distilled Red Pill back into your relationship.

You are the reason the Blue Pill has satire ammunition. You are the reason guys with potential get shit advice and quit to go to the Blue Pill and post, “I’m an ex-TRPer, I see the light, they’re all fucking idiots.” And he’s right. He’s right because if the Red Pill taught men to do what you do, we would all be idiots. Do you want to be an idiot?

Causes

Guys come in here, usually in shitty relationships, and their first instinct is to stay plugged in. It’s tough, but what makes it tough is that some parts are harder than others. Some parts, they’ll immediately click in your head, and you’ll be tempted to keep those parts while ignoring the tougher ones. “Women like guys who have high value,” that’s easy, any guy can acknowledge that people in general don’t want trash. Congratulations on your divine enlightenment. But, say, all women are like this. That’s a tricky one. That’s one of the parts you’re going to ignore and push out of your stubborn head because you want to hold onto this great girl you’ve got. You see this little note, about unicorns, how we all want that one special girl, and you think “Wow, I won’t lie to myself and say I’ve got a unicorn but…I mean she’s close. With a little work I think she’d be a genuinely special girl.” And that’s it, you’re lost.

Diagnosis

Quit lying to yourself. You can accept that all women rationalize? It’s easier to digest when you call it a hamster? That’s great, throw that out and replace it with this: All People Rationalize. You are rationalizing your shitty watered-down pink pill every day. Why is AWALT so difficult? Because it’s faulty, people are not exactly the same, and not all women are exactly the same. AWALT is to understand that your girlfriend is not special. She is not a unicorn, she will never be a unicorn, and there are a million other girls that are exactly like her. I guarantee it, and I even encourage you to tell me if you ever dated a girl, she left you, and you never found a girl as good as her. When you go around parroting, “GIRLS ARE HYPERGAMOUS AND WILL LEAVE YOU FOR A BETTER GUY, AWALT,” you are not a Red Piller, you are a bitter punk who doesn’t use his brain. Is hypergamy real? Yes. But women treat it differently. Some women will move from guy to guy the moment they see a better catch, others bide their time, some are content to find a great guy and hold onto him. Does hypergamy apply to all of these situations? Yes. Are all women exactly the same? No.

Prevention & Treatment

“So what?” You’re asking, “What the fuck do I do with what you’re saying?” I’m telling you to use your head. Skimming the sidebar is not absorbing Red Pill theory. Read it, think about it. Realize that people are different, theory applies differently to different people, but it keeps the same framework. The stronger you make that framework, the better you can adapt it. Stop lying to yourself. Stop disgracing what we do. If you can’t do it, that’s fine, go do what you need to do, but if you want to learn, if you want to be better than you ever thought you could be, you need to use your brain. Before you post on askTRP, think, is getting some misinformed stranger’s useless opinion better than my own? If the answer is yes, go back to the sidebar and read up. Yes, a second opinion is useful, but TRP has had a huge influx of white knight trash that has made asking for that second opinion less and less worthwhile, made even worse by the fact that no one will truly understand your situation from a few paragraphs of text. Be confident: if you’ve read up, fully considered the theory, and practiced applying it, you know what to do. And stop making us look bad.
