Hello, long time lurker of both the RedPillWomen and RedPillMen. I’ve come here for a bit of a venting session. Some background:

I followed the RedPillMen because in theory, I do align with some of their values. As a female who came from another country outside of the US (latina), I am fairly traditional and believe that certain roles should be played by certain genders. From there, I encountered this sub.

This community has taught me so much. Y’all ladies are so freaking bad ass without losing sight of your femininity and that is hella inspirational. Having said that, it’s getting more and more disturbing to read the TheRedPillMen because so many of the discussions are so angry. Many of them truly do believe that women are incapable of love and that all we care about is what they can provide for us.

Now, story time. I just came from the bar with my sister. I am 26 years old and not to brag but I am fairly good looking. I do attract lots of male attention. I enjoy this in a way but it makes me really uncomfortable when I’m hanging out with other girlfriends. My sister is about 43. She’s also very good looking. When she was younger, she was the prettiest girl in town. Now...not so much I guess?

I don’t like going out with her in these types of settings because it makes me even more uncomfortable than usual. See, I love this woman so much. She’s my best friend in the whole world. Tonight, I felt deeply sad that no guy really wanted to talk to her. It ruined my night. They all wanted to get to me. It was like she was invisible. But the must messed up part about this whole situation was that in the place that we were at, there was a Harvard reunion so there were a ton of suited old men. Don’t get me wrong, I can appreciate an older guy in a sharp suit. But appreciation is the extent of it. The fact that these guys just wanted to get with a 26 year old, some of them wearing their wedding rings, was absolutely repulsive. I have started to resent these men who only want me because I’m a shiny new object. In one occasion, I went to the bathroom and the guys almost immediately stopped talking to her. So gracious.

As a 43 year old woman, my sister looks for guys her age. Why can’t guys do the same? Because they have this obsession with youth, with the exterior. Not only am I so sad for my sister, who I’m pretty sure went home and cried herself to sleep, I’m sad for myself. I think about my future as a wife who will only have eyes for her equally mature husband, while his eyes wander and fantasize with the idea of a newer model.

Throughout the night, apart from disgust, I just kept thinking how delusional they were to think that they have a chance with someone as young as me. I paralleled that with what I read on the RedPillMen. These guys really do believe that they don’t have a “shelf” life and that young women will be banging them even at their forties and fifties. Spoiler alert, when a young woman goes for an older man, she’s likely not in it for him, but for what he can offer financially.

Thoughts on this?
