Is TRP having an effect?

not at all. TRP is so tiny and is much smaller then PUA/game which became a thing what 10-15 years ago??? SMP is changing for other reasons.

I think there are a lot more average guys who are avoiding getting involved with crazy bitches. The crazy bitch numbers are ever increasing due to facebook/twitter/instagram etc likes creating inflated self esteem in average women.

Not the subreddit, no. The broader red pill memes are beginning to show up elsewhere, but the overall impact is modest. Tinder, by comparison, has had a much bigger impact on the SMP.

No, I don't think that you can convince a woman not into one night stands into having one in most cases. And most guys will go for the easy over the hard. Mostly, the sex that would have gone to one guy goes to another guy instead. This has an effect on those two particular guys but no one else. There are probably a few women who retire from dating for a few years after getting date raped by someone like Roosh.

I think it is having an effect, and it's more than the 127k subscribers on TRP sub

TRP is really only commentary on the SMP from the male POV, and with masculine goals as the underlying constant. It's not a religion or movement that is meant to change anything. Imagine the SMP is a football game, TRP is only equivalent to the guys in the press box.

What I will say that I've noticed IRL in the past year, is the number of women who are very upfront about their desire for alphas, and their disgust for betas, in the context of sex. The "All I want is a nice guy" bullshit they used to spew while riding the carousel, has been replaced by something closer to the truth. Now I hear "a man needs to have the balls to take what he wants", or "I have no sympathy for a man who won't go after what he wants", a lot more. They still are actually doing the same shit though, of course. This could definitely be my observation bias, i'm not sure, because I'm always watching out for this type of thing.

If you considered everything associated with the "game" and pick-up artistry community in general then I think it's large enough to be having something of an effect. But I don't think that the specific /r/theredpill subreddit on its own is large enough to be able to say that.

Nope. Just as TRP/PUA/whatever has caught on, so have dating apps.

Alpha Fucks are more accessible to women than ever and Game means squat through a photo on Tinder.

Looking at the size and growth there clearly was a need for this information. I think the way all these anger posts and AWALT examples will eventually ruin the message of TRP. If the mods and EC aren't careful it'll eventually become a victim of its own success.

SirNemesis · 2015-08-21T04:13:06+00:00

My first instinct is to doubt it. 100k is too small in a population of like 40 million young men. But then again I'm seeing trp topics like sheryl Sandberg talking about afbb starting to be discussed by the guys around me so it does seem to be filtering into the public consciousness.

ECoast_Man · 2015-08-21T00:10:24+00:00

The manosphere maybe, as a whole. Maybe not TRP specifically, or only as a part of it.

OlBastard · 2015-08-21T01:42:25+00:00

I hope not. Fresh tail would be harder to catch if it was.

itsalreadybeenthrown · 2015-08-21T04:18:55+00:00

It came up at work once and everyone quoted silly shit and laughed. That's an effect I suppose.

Plugawy_Nedznik · 2015-08-21T05:23:36+00:00

No, I don't think anything's changing. At least not for the better.

ValleyFever101 · 2015-08-21T13:43:10+00:00

Not sure if it has anything to do with TRP, although perhaps technology and the internet might have changed a few things.

thebroathlete · 2015-08-21T03:30:43+00:00

No, because people always knew it, they just didn't want to acknowledge it. People know looks matter, but they just lived in denial over it. Everyone knew women go for bad boys and then settle down with the nice guy, they were just in denial over it or never felt the need to tell society about it.
