QuestionForBP: Why do you identify as BP?

Because I'm a woman who makes $95,000 a year doing what she loves. I'm not a child. I don't want to be treated like a child. I don't need a captain. I want a partner. Since RP believes (or at least takes the approach) that AWALT, I naturally have to be BP.

1/ I used to be a regular at /r/TheBluePill

2/ I don't believe in several key RP concepts such as Briffault's law and the differing natures of male and female love

3/ Purple pillers are filthy fence sitters and I refuse to associate myself with them

I don't think there is any value in TRP. It is largely false and any benefits can easily be found virtually anywhere.

TRP does not offer me anything so I don't identify with it.

Mostly for the lulz. To me there isn't even really a Blue Pill, I don't take this stuff that that seriously.

I am satisfied with ability to get women and women seem to like me. I read a little bit of The Red Pill and I guess it's kinda right about some things, there's just no reason for me to read anymore than the basics. The Blue Flair also looks better to me, maybe if the Red Flair had more spunk and better colouration I would change mine.

I suppose I'm technically Blue Pill, but I tend to be more of a traditionalist when it comes to sex being only within the confines of a relationship, so I don't personally identify as BP. As for why I don't identify as Red or Purple, I think that women are too varied for something like AWALT to ever apply, although it applies to enough women that I have to admit that some men likely do have some success with TRP techniques. What I do believe is that there are good personality and sexual matches out there for most people if they try hard enough and are willing to lower their standards if necessary.

TRP doesn't really have anything to offer me. I don't seek to dominate the women in my life even if that meant getting laid more. I also have a certain disability which makes it virtually impossible for me to come across as "alpha" so there goes that whole section.

I don't always see eye-to-eye with BluePill, but I usually identify as such just because RedPill is so far off the deep end. Even "PurplePill" implies a kind of equivalency that I can't abide by.

BluePill annoys me sometimes, RedPill advocates emotional abuse and date rape. There's no comparison.

Since TRP considers anything not in their view point to be "Blue Pill" so I went along with it.
I've had a happy and healthy dating and sex life following advice that was in stark contrast to everything TRP preaches.
Being a liberal edgelord is fun

Me being RP is a chicken voting for the colonel

COPCO2 · 2017-02-22T17:12:58+00:00

Because BP isn't an identity, it's just a lack of RP identity. Honestly, I don't pick sides, because these 'sides' don't actually exist (see my flair). Creating this battle between BP and RP makes a lot of useless noise.

But ultimately, my sexual identity was formed long before RP existed. I was married when I found this sub, and everything I've achieved in life: relationships, casual sex, intimate sex, my degree, career, etc., was earned by using tactics that don't resemble RP very closely at all.

I've dated plenty of women, most for more than a year or two, and my marriage is the strongest relationship I've ever had after plenty of failed ones. What TRP advocates looks a lot more like my unhappy, failed, and damaging past relationships, and nothing like my marriage.

Likewise, what makes me successful in school and in work are things that I forged for myself, and TRP advice wouldn't get me to where I am today.

I followed my own path, and when I rail against TRP (sometimes aggressively, I admit), it's because I know that there are easier, faster, less confrontational, and more healthy ways to achieve the things that TRP says it wants.

I'm an open book for anyone who wants to ask me, but most people want to tell me that my life story is impossible. :/

That's why I'm "BP"

I just disagree with some concepts, some of the sidebar material, most of the RPers I see posting here or on TRP, and yes, the tone of it all.

I don't believe, because my experiences and observations don't support it, that a woman sleeping around loses the ability to "pair bond, that if a man opens up emotionally to a woman she instantly loses respect and attraction for him, that men love women unconditionally, that AFBB is common and the woman is not attracted to her Beta Bux, that women want assholes, that there is a huge problem in the SMP, that being nice is a turn-off, that all women are like that, that the bottom 80% of men are invisible to women, that women are children...

I had the purple label for a while because I found some stuff I could see working for me on RPW, and some stuff I could see working for guys on TRP, but a bit of posting on PPD was enough for me to realize that agreeing that "attractive people are attractive" and "setting boundaries is good" didn't give my flair enough red to be purple.

I guess in general being Blue Pill is about not being embittered like Red Pillers and having a positive outlook. Most of the Reds (including the women) I have talked to inspired nothing but pity to me. They are all so jaded, so bitter, so cynical. Not a single one of them seemed genuinely happy. We are talking about a group of people whose slogan is 'enjoy the decline,' which is basically their own version of 'hello darkness, my old friend'.
