Blue Pills who don't disagree with it all, have you successfully used a Red Pill Tactic in your love life?

I'll tell you what...

I'll give it a month of RPW-ing it up and post reports if anyone cared to test theory. I just doubt anyone would be remotely interested. :P

Never saying no to sex has improved my marriage. I'm Experimenting with the captain/first mate dynamic- we'll see how it goes. Too early to tell.

I honestly don't know, because it seems like TRP isn't really about specific "tactics" so much as it is a broad mindset.

Take for instance, shit tests. The whole idea of a shit test is that a girl says or does something obnoxious and you respond with something that shows you that you're not rattled and you don't care about supplicating to her, right?

But then if thats the case, there must be tonnes of guys who pass shit tests without trying, the guys who genuinely just don't care, and so pass them without even noticing it was a test.

Redpillers themselves put it:

Red pill TL; DR- Women want you to take charge and act manly.

In that light, its really difficult to say whether anything is a red pill 'tactic' or not, since "acting manly" and "being manly" and even just "briefly appearing manly" all work out pretty similarly, except maybe in terms of deeper motivation.

Yes, not being a pathetic doormat and asserting myself has worked out wonderfully for me in my past relationships along with becoming an interesting person. Too bad this is the most generic shit and is in no way exclusive to TRP.

I don't really think about it, just do what I've always done.

Recently I've been trying to give him more space, "just shut up and leave him alone", as you will. It seems to be working okay. We see each other less of course, when we do meet we still have fun, and he seems to be happier this way. I suppose it's always a bit of a bummer to find out that someone is happier the less time they spend with you, but at this point I've come to expect it.

I'm a woman, so I can't use RP tactics. When I was a teenager I had a partner neg and dread game me, and it just resulted in me feeling bad about myself, hating him, and then me breaking up with him.

I can't think of any successful tactics, but I've seen talk of "The Sex God Method" around. I've never read exactly what it entails, but it seems to be lots of dominance and control, which is what I'm into (but we also have a safeword). But I mean, I have a blue pill partner. He's super shy and sweet in real life, and I'm super outspoken. But when it comes to sex that's just how it works for us.

I was just poking around in RedPillMarriage, and it mentioned it's RP to literally pick your wife up and kiss her. I really like this, but it's not a tactic or anything.

I would be interested.

I don't consciously use any such tactics. If I do use any, it's definitely subconscious.

Yonderlander · 2015-01-24T01:57:24+00:00

I have always followed (since way before reddit and encountering RP) the slightly dodgy RPW trope of very rarely if ever refusing my partner sex. I always get into it and it keeps things close. Mind you I have a high sex drive and date awesome, considerate (opposite of RP) men who wouldn't pester me if I was ill or asleep or whatever so the situation has rarely occurred.

I find "agree and amplify" works very well with drunk relatives trying to draw you into a political argument. Dread game on management is a great way to score a payrise.

OccamsRaiser · 2015-01-24T13:58:25+00:00

I've never intentionally applied anything from TRP, but before I had even heard of TRP, I used a few.

Dread game was one I used in my early 20s. It was a disaster and left permanent damage on the relationship. It was incredibly immature and while it may have worked to keep her attention in the short-term, it left a bad taste in her mouth that ultimately distanced her down the line. Would not recommend.

Later on, while growing out of my immature stage, I learned the equivalent of "keeping frame" (most of the time), in the sense that being totally unfiltered about anything in life that bothered me would stress her out and affect our level of intimacy. I learned to deal with my own shit and be open about things that were important, instead of being a whiny little bitch looking for validation.

I think it is a little different than keeping frame in TRP-land because I wasn't doing it to deal with a "shit-test" or to be manipulative, I was just doing it because I realized that being an adult means dealing with your own obstacles a lot of the time.

I agree with zero tactics that are specifically red pill (the tactics they didn't steal from elsewhere and slap cutesy names on and I also don't agree with a lot that they did steal).

Red pill states that women can never be red pill and those who try to be are delusional (because only men can be red pill) - so as a woman I don't qualify anyway to use rp tactics.

Negging (which PUA coined before TRPers) and which I call teasing (as have all rational people for a verrrry long time) has worked for me though, as it keeps things fun. Not sure if i'd call it a tactic though, more a case of my delightful personality ;) ;)

I tried TRP style control all the money and my partner threatened to leave me for being such a tight ass
