Don't expect friends to stick around once you swallow the pill

Rule 1 don't talk about RP there's your fuck up

Is it Red Pill or just that you're at totally different places in life? Different interests? Seems like a common phenomenon whether you're blue, red, or purple.

I'd say your dad is right - start looking for people you have more in common with. If you don't feel like you have to put much effort in though, don't expect much in the way of results.

Are you sure the problem isn't actually you? Your friends are distancing themselves, everyone at your boxing ring are tools, you don't socialize much at work, and you don't drink. Just from the last paragraph it sounds like you might have a slightly inflated ego that could be turning people off to you. Maybe lighten up a little bit.

Time to move on. Go to things that you like to do, and break the ice with new friends using your new found confidence.

I keep seeing this advice. So far my family and friends have only been supportive. My family doesn't know about my new attitude towards women and cohabitation though. They're just reacting to me getting more assertive and getting my life in order. Still, I wonder if this lack of opposition is an indicator of the fact that I still have a long way to go.

What's more important your mindset or your friends? Because you can't keep both. You can just keep your conservative viewpoints to yourself and continue acting like you're one of the crowd, but if that won't sit will with you either, you're going to have to find new friends.

Yes it'll be hard, if you haven't looked around majority of dudes are BP nowadays. But, it beats having to bend to another viewpoint that is not self-serving. Take'em or leave'em they're not going to change, the real question is are you going to change?

Tim Ferris said it right when he said: "You're the average of the 5 people you hangout with". They will deter your RP mindset slowly.

My friends who are in blue pill LTRs are never encouraged/allowed to hang out with me. This is how it's been since we were 16, and I used to be blue but never like that. These guys are probably trying to keep their wives happy. There is nothing you can do about it. Just be ready to resume friendship in 5-10 years when they fall apart, if you still respect them.
