This is something I've been thinking about for a while and I'm not even exactly sure what I'm asking, but I seem to find paradoxes in Red Pill philosophy. I'm not presenting this as criticism, applying RP principles have worked like magic for me, but hopefully I can get some clarification for my thoughts.

For example, one paradox is the approach. We all know you don't get laid if you don't approach. However, by approaching you show you desire her attention and that would seem to indicate neediness.

Another is that a bold, confident man goes out and takes what he wants through action. On the other hand, it we are often told that a true alpha can passively allow women and men alike to chase him for approval.

The biggest one for me is that we are taught to always be increasing our value because a man is only a man insofar as he can provide value, get shit done done etc. And yet The Manipulated Man, recommended RP reading, tells us we have been brainwashed into this system by women who are fleecing us of our value because they lack the ability to do anything meaningful themselves.

I suppose my question is this: has anybody else noticed what appears to be these paradoxes, and how have you dealt with them? How should they inform our game, inner and outer?
