A lot of criticism against the red pill by omega guys recently. And lots of blue pillers rightfully (!) claiming that trp can have a negative effect on many readers.
And most of it can be explained easily.
The red pill's target group is the normal beta guy. Emphasis: The red pill's target group is the normal beta guy
Omegas, who are extremely unattractive, who have no social life, who have absolutely no experience with women, who come off as creepy to everybody... are not the real target group.
Omegas are welcome, too, of course, but they will have to come a long way before red pill strategy will really help them. And blue pillers are right: Omegas can get a completely skewed picture of reality when they obsess over trp. I am not saying that omegas can't find good advice over at trp, but most of it isn't aimed at them.
The red pill is, first and foremost, a powerful paradigm-shift. Yes, forget all the advice about lifting. Forget tactics like dread game. Forget concepts like AFBB...
...and you still have the red pill.
It's in the name, the red pill. You take the red pill and your views of reality change. You understand that you have been pedestalising women, that your approach to finding your dream woman wasn't effective and that you have been projecting like hell. You have been solipsistic when you thought about what women find attractive.
Now you are red pilled. Trp comes with good advice and concepts where you can, but not necessarily must, go from there.
But the real power lies in the paradigm shift itself. Using a similar analogy to the one in the book "The 7 habits of highly successful people:
You wanted to reach a destination, but you had the wrong map. You followed that map carefully and diligently, crossed obstacles, put a lot of effort into your journey, but still didn't reach your destination. You didn't do anything "wrong" and you haven't been lazy. You just had the wrong map.
Now you have the right map.
Depending on your starting point and your physical ability, you might reach your destination in no time.
This is exactly how the red pill can work for an average beta guy. (Average beta guy for lack of a better term).
That's the beauty of a paradigm-shift. You change your approach and get results quickly.
Unfortunately, it's not as easy for omega guys.
A lot of them have no friends, no social life, are awkward or downright creepy around women, aren't just unremarkable, but really unattractive, have no real experience with dating at all and have no opportunity to try out any of the red pill teachings in the first place.
Married guys who discover the red pill and read about "frame" can try it with their wives 30 minutes after logging off. Beta guys could have to wait until the weekend when they go out with their friends to have a few drinks and meet women. Omegas could have to wait a few weeks until the girl who has them in their friendzone is bored enough to text them about her boyfriend problems until they come face to face with a woman. (If she wants to meet).
So, omegas now you do have a good map. But you don't have a car and you are sitting in a wheelchair. The map is of no use, because you can barely move. And more important: You have no idea how the surroundings look in reality. You may have the 2D map memorised photographically. But you have no idea how it actually looks. The actual street is not a line on a paper.
It hurts me to say that blue pillers are right in this regard. The red pill can't do much for you if this is your starting point. And obsessing over it will be bad for you.
Trp isn't there to convince you that going out with friends and having a few drinks isn't morally bad and only for shallow people. Trp assumes that you already know that. Trp assumes that you do have a social circle and that you do meet women. Trp assumes that not every woman you meet will find you creepy. Trp assumes that you are out of shape, but not that you are 250 pounds overweight.
And I am definitely not hating on omegas and incels. I wished that there was far more support for them. We need to create /omegaredpill or something.
Many of you know that I have a lot of incel friends and I'd do anything to help them. And that's why I can speak from experience: They don't benefit much from swallowing the red pill.
A beta guy is in a friendzone? Cut contact with her and move on. Good red pill advice. An omega guy is in the friendzone? For heaven's sake, stay in that friendzone for a while, friend. Orbit her and supplicate the shit out of her as long as it means that you have actual real-life contact with a woman until you meet other women. It is literally better than nothing on your way of self-improvement. Abundance mentality? There is no abundance for omega guys, so ffs forget about abundance mentality.
So, no, I am not flaming omegas at all, I am explaining five things:
-
Why there is more and more criticism by omegas recently
-
Why blue pillers are unfortunately right when they say trp is bad for some guys and why this doesn't mean that the red pill is wrong
-
And it explains why there are so many red pill noobs who lecture others with almost no personal experience, making red pill concepts sound completely ridiculous
-
It also explains a lot of the condescending shit by people who look down on frustrated red pill noobs. Many self-righteous guys who have "completely turned their life around" didn't start out as omegas. They started as betas. And you can in no way compare that to the plight an omega guy will have to go through. I started out as a low beta myself and it was hard but the hell would I think that I can really relate to an omega incel guy. Shame on everybody who does.
-
We really really need more resources for omegas, but red pill is not the place (yet)
What is your opinion?
TL;DR: The red pill's target group is beta guys not omega guys. Like it or not, but it is like it is. We need more resources for omega guys, but don't blame trp for having a different target audience.
