Every now and then I'll see a comment about how explaining MRP is risky (socially) or offering the red pill to people is risky. Here's a way I've explained it that works for both the plugged-in and their feminist harpy wives:

Start with my story

"Well, when you think about it, what was my wife attracted to me for in the first place? I was fit, decisive, a leader of men, I had a mission in life, masculine hobbies, and there was a little aspect of mystery. We get married, have children, and what happens? I got dadBod. I start saying "whatever you want, honey" - which I thought was a good thing. What that really does is force all the decisions on her. I gave up the hobbies, and the leadership, to be home and dad, and the sense of mission faded. All of it sounds good, all of it sounds right ... except think about it. I gave up every reason she was attracted to me in the first place!

So I am making some changes."

That's it. If I really want to elaborate I might point out that I started giving in on every issue, which wasn't REALLY what I thought was right, so she lost some respect for me.

Typically, you'll be saying this to a plugged-in Blue-Pill-er, and they'll say "WOW, THAT'S ME! PLEASE HELP ME MY LIFE SUX AND IS GETTING WORSE!"

Now you say "I'm not a genius. I didn't come up with this myself I was coached. Are you telling me you want coaching?"

The less you know the person, the softer you make this question.

And wait. Let them think about it.

If they say yes, give them a challenge. Have them find the area in that list they are weakest on (leadership, decision making, covert contract, diet/exercise) and spend a month specifically working on it. Diet/Exercise they'll have the most control over. So lift for a month and fix your diet.

If they can't do that, walk 10 miles a week for a month and give up the soda and desserts.

After a month, explain shit tests (as she wants to test your resilience and to comply, or to lose your composure, means you ar NOT resilient) and have them watch the matrix Movie.

After that, ask if they want the red pill. Explain this is a very different way of seeing the world, that is flies against the common worldview, and the culture is very DIRECT. They will be pleased that the people in MRP are willing to say what they have always secretly suspected, but politically correct, it is not. In fact, it is so politically incorrect that one behavioral science PhD in the group has to hide his identity.

Then introduce them to blue pill prof's podcasts and then the askMRP reddit.

The point: This is a gradual introduction where they have to ask and do the work. At every step, they can turn back, ignore, or say it is too hard, and keep the friendship. By the time they are in, they realize the consequences, specifically, the impact to bluepillprof's career.

I have a couple of friends who are early into this and I'm pretty confident that I have zero social risk.
