This seems to be a pretty dead subreddit, but I suppose it will serve as a confessional.

Forgive me Reddit, for I have sinned.

It began a couple of years ago. I was a newly divorced man, trying to find himself. I chased women and started finding Pick Up Artist sites on the Internet. But none of them ever gained traction.

But I had heard of this one group on Reddit called The Red Pill. I had never really used Reddit before and then one day I decided to try it out. I made an account. I checked out TRP a bit and thought it was kind of BS. Then I wrote something on Seduction telling a lot of these younger guys to own who they are. One poster said it should be on TRP. So, I took a harder look.

At first, I thought it was still a load of crap, but I kept reading. And reading. Next thing I know, I got sucked in. Not all the way. I never believed in a lot of their crap about don't date divorced women with kids (I'm 40 years old and divorced, if I did that I'd have shit to date), all women are evil and sluts (I have a mother. I don't view her as evil and in the 45 years she's been married to my father she hasn't cheated. HE HAS.) or feminists are out to destroy the world (I've actually dated more feminists than non because... welll. I'm intelligent. And I like intelligent women.)

But I got sucked into it because of its other traits. It's traits of self improvement. Become a better man and you attract women. This is the only philosophy I cared about. I cared about nothing else.

But now, reflecting back, I don't need an Internet group to tell me that. That's a no brainer.

The big thing that struck me is some Red Pillers gave me advice on some books to read. One is called No More Mr. Nice Guy. The other is Models. I read those books and they changed me more than TRP ever did. But the problem is those books are not Red Pill. They're not contradictory, but they aren't in line either. They just have a simple view. Take care of yourself, be honest and be a GOOD MAN. There's nothing in those books about be Alpha and you'll bounce chicks like a boss. As a matter of fact, TRP concentrates a lot on hey do this and you'll be getting 9's and 10's. Models says, "Who gives a fuck? Get the best woman for you."

Red Pill calls their ideas a science, follows it like a religion, says it's not a religion, castrates those who don't follow it like a religion and then says once again it's a science, not a religion. What the hell is it?

Okay, so Alpha cavemen were the ones who dominated the society and Betas could only watch during the Paleolithic Age. If TRP is a science then they need to provide scientific proof. Can they please tell me where the theory, study or anything else from Anthropology supports this belief? The Paleo Diet is a rage for many in fitness and in the beginning it was called "The Caveman Diet." But many who follow the Paleo Diet have since backtracked and are including more options in their diet because the Caveman Diet was debunked. Those living in the Paleolithic Era had a lot more food options available than what the diet installed. I would also say the same holds true for relationships.

The world is full of Betas. Excuse my language, but Betas that get fucked. I've been a Beta for 40 years. I've written books, been in three bands as a guitarrist. Written goofy love songs. It never occurred to me until now that I never had to be an Alpha to get "lucky." Women like who they like, just like men like who they like.

Sure, you can be jealous as fuck if you want at the Alpha jock suit wearing motherfucker whose picking up the hot chick. But before you do that, go to the next singer songwriter show at the local coffee shop and check out the guy who barely has social skills getting good looking girls talking to him because he wrote the sappy love song that struck their heart.

There are 8 billion people in this world. Half are women.

There is room for everyone.
