I would like to start out with this statement of mine: The RP claims are misunderstood from both sides of the community. Many of the RP supporters are using parts of the RP ideology to justify their questionable behaviour. RP ideas are mostly criticized by the opposition, based on the claims of those RP advocates above

One of these RP claims has to do with hypergamy. In my understanding, hypergamy does not mean, that women will ONLY date up, but it means that by nature, they will look for their best available option within their social circle. No sane RP guy ever blamed/ hated on women for this, in fact, we do admit, that this single thing was/is crutial to the survival of the human race. Hypergamy does not claim that a woman WILL certainly cheat or end the relationship (however, we do know, that women will cheat almost as frequently as men do) for a "Chad". But it does say, that the likelyhood increases if their partner does not live up to their expectations, or becomes "lazy". And we do say that, if a woman cheats, it is likely a signal of the end of that relationship, which is not the case on the flipside (men are mutch mor likely to be able to have sex without emotional attachment). Hypergamy does not claim that women will ONLY date up, but it claims that most women desires to have a commited partner that is at least on the same level as they are, or above if possible. This is because of their innate need of security. No one respects a bum, but only bums are expecting women to do so. In fact RP suggests, that a man is responsible to always improve himself. We do not blame women. We accept who they are and say, it is our responsibility to work on our flaws and better ourselves.

Some may doubt that hypergamy exists at all. Based on what i have seen so far though, the critics are not criticizing the original claim: when it comes to partner selection, women prefer the highest available candidate within their social circle (this often means that they date up) they rather cryticizing a claim that is a false, made up one, and states that "(ALL) women ONLY date up".

I have read the research in the "First Aid" article on the exreddpill guys page. Most of the research (in regards of hypergamy) however was concluded before the millenia. It made sense before the introduction and take off of social media, and it made sense before third wave feminism. RP actually claims, that the modern world has changed in the last 10 years. Women have never been able to aquire instant validation at a rate that they are able to now days. This throws off their self esteem and makes them beleive that their value is higher then it actually is. An avarage guy is no longer enough for an avarage modern women in a decent makeup, using filters and decent lights, because that avarage modern women gets instant validation from hundreds of above avarage guys. So where does this lead to? (And i did not even talk about third wave feminism advocates, telling women that they deserve the world for nothing in return and they do not have to choose between career and family). We do not claim that all women are like this. We do claim however, that more and more "modern" women is exposed to this destructive distortion, and while men is expected by society to remain traditional, (explore, hunt, fight, defend...) women are no longer required to (guard and feed the camp fire, take care of the home and children).

On the flipside though. We tell women, that those man, who accomplished the levelling up, and reached the top shelf, have standards and expectations. And in case if a woman wish to get along with those top shelf guys on the long term (she wants commitment), she must live up to his expectations. Many modern women does not understand this simple thing. This is why many accomplished modern women, single at 35, do not understand "where did all the good man go..." They are committed to an avarage 23 year old, "unaccomplished", kind, feminine women, who can give them children, love, care, respect and appreciation. And they are willing to die for them, more often then not. Reality is not fair to any of us. To put it simple, if you price your product too high, no one will buy it. People will come in, they will check it out, they will touch it, they may admire it, they will tell about it to their friends... When you decide to lower the price, most customers that you want to sell to, already got what they wanted, and now you will need to lower the price even further then you would at the first place, if you want to sell your product at all. This never meant to say, that the product is invaluable. It only meant to point out that even the most valuable item can be overpriced to the point, where no one can buy it. And it is not the customer's fault. The seller made a bad decision unfortunately.

Now you might say: "There is a little problem here.. You just said above, that you do not blame women." That's right. No sane RP guy blames women. We simply say they are responsible for their fate, just as mutch as we are responsible for our own. We all make our own chices and decisions, and if our life is suck at the end of the road, we have no one else to blame but ourselves, and this gives is liberty and power. As long as we blame others, we are giving up control ower our own life. Whoever sais othervise is not in the head space to understand RP truth claims.

The above is my opinion, and my understanding of what the Red Pill is for real. I am curious to know your disagreements and opinions. What did I get wrong?
