Long story short, when I was a high school freshman I read a lot of red pill content and I was angry and miserable all the time because I thought that everyone, especially women, was out to get me. I assumed the worst of others and drove everyone away. Thankfully I got out of that phase. Having female friends (something they think is scientifically impossible) really helps.
Ultimately I think the red pill has some good advice such as to work out and not be a pushover but they take things too far. Sexual market value is a way of dehumanizing men and women, and AWALT is simply a self-fulfilling prophecy; if your strategy is to manipulate people and act emotionally unavailable, then of course the people you attract will have attachment issues and be repulsed when you show the slightest emotion.
I don’t really want to spin plates anyway. I have no moral objections to people who do so, but I honestly just think it’s not for me. Of course if I were to say that they’d call me a blue pill beta in denial, but that’s what they say to anyone who questions it.
I think the cure for the red pill is to get out into the real world and not treat every human interaction like a negotiation or a competition. I encourage anyone who isn’t sure about the red pill, or who feels lost and confused, to do just that, even if you are awkward and make social mistakes. It’s a hell of a lot better than trying to be a one-dimensional image of masculinity.
