You can read all the studies you want. You can come on this sub looking for guidance and you can spend hours on the bluepill and redpill subs.

None of this matters tbh.

At the end of the day you need to decide whether or not you are ok with committing to taking on a completely new persona that is so unrealistic that you drive yourself nuts. Do you want every interaction you have with the opposite sex to be something you have to think hard about and strategize about to the point of stress? Do you want to live your life trying to be some fantasy version of a man that you will never really be able to achieve, all in the name of getting laid or rejecting the female need for validation just stroke your own ego?

If that does not sound exhausting to you then go over to red pill. I am at the point where I am done trying to convince people that their way of thinking and behaving is unhealthy. They will have to go see for themselves and go waste years of their lives pretending to be some cross between James Bond and Donald Trump. It is blatantly obvious that it is not healthy to have such a negative view of the opposite sex. It's just like the manic pixie dream girl thing. That girl is not real, she is the girl many women exhaust themselves trying to emulate. Or the ~cool girlfriend~ that never gets upset or shows that her feelings are hurt by something. That is not real, women just pretend.

Most women understand how unhealthy the red pill is for men because we are used to constant media pressure. We have constant conversations about it and are aware of the game that is being played on us. Too fat, too skinny, too smart, not smart enough, be elusive, flip your hair this way, that way, buy these clothes, dont text back too fast, don't eat fake sugar, wear a dress and heels, don't wear a dress and heels it looks high maintenance, have lots of sex, don't have sex it's slutty, feminist, succubus, traditionalist, housewife.....

Imo the red pill seems to be the very first large scale unattainable persona for men. Men are not used to having conversations about unrealistic expectations for them out loud the way women constantly do so many are falling into this very depressing trap that was starting by other miserable men.

I hope what I am saying makes sense. You do not need to be manipulative and emotionally abusive to women in order to be "successful" with them, aka get laid. Yes it may work but it is not necessary. It is just like this current trend of women on social media going on and on about how they hate men and how men should buy them gifts and give them money whenever they want, because men are useless and stupid and live to serve women. This bullshit persona may work for you but it's exhausting(you cannot convince me it isn't) and unnecessary.
