“Multiply the number by 3”

Congrats on leaving red pill but if you're still seeing/watching videos that are even about 'body count' you need to fix your feed. The algorithms will try to feed you shit and it's your job to train them not to.

Just avoid any conversations or discussions about body count. It's all a BS distraction.

dude why the fuck are you asking questions like this? they are stupid. don't do this. stop.

Red pill makes shit up. No surprise there.

It's a" joke" that has been around for a long time. We had it in the 90s, and I'm sure it was there before. The other half is "ask a guy his number and divide by three", the key being that guys amplify their numbers. But there is absolutely nothing to back either one up

I've never understood the obsession with another person's sexual partners. You basically have to take whatever number they say at face value so what's the point of even asking in the first place? Like...what does having that information even do for you?

Based on your comments you don't sound like you've truly left the redpill. You might not identify with redpill creators anymore, but you still use their terminology, their talking points, their beliefs, and are clearly engaging with their content.

It comes down to dehumanisation, in both a micro and macro sense. In the micro sense, it allows these men to rank the women they know and treat each one accordingly, e.g. a woman who says five (which means fifteen) can be tossed away the second he's done with her, while a woman who says zero (3x0 is 0) gets to be the Madonna in the Madonna/whore complex. In the macro sense, it's saying that women as a group are liars and whores, and therefore it's okay to treat them badly. It points to a deep-seated insecurity, a view of sex as dirty and misogyny.

People with a healthy, egalitarian view of sex don't care that much or at all about body count. For these red pill men, the only acceptable answer is zero, with the caveat that said virgin women have never left their house, can only be influenced by them and don't need to be taught anything and are great at sex first go around.

It's times three because they want to catch the people who fall for this kind of thing. If it were times ten, then that's far easier to logic away. For example, for a twenty-year-old, three (nine) seems doable, but thirty doesn't. I would think about asking yourself in a wider sense why it matters at all, so you can better understand your own perspective.

From a social perspective, body count is a way to demean and control women by putting them on the defensive. From a functional perspective as someone probably older than most of the demographic here, body count is a problem for teenagers and those in their 20s. Your opinion will likely change down the road, when you try to get into a healthy relationship and realize a lot of people are messed up and the main things that matter are personality related. It’s something that organically falls to the back of your mind when real life problems hit and not exactly a factor for the person you want to marry. The main thing you’d want to avoid is someone with ongoing promiscuousity because it lowers the chances of sustaining a long term relationship. This can be inferred easily overtime with behavior. It’s interesting to watch Gen Z think that they have illusion of control if they were able to see the cards upfront (eg with finding out the “truth”) but this is just a form of trying to control external information to soothe your own insecurities. Relationships are built on trust so you need to let go, trust people and stop googling inane pseudo formulas for things that will not matter in 10 years.

Yea imagine some random creep asking your sister her body count. That's what these influencers are. Drop this garbage brother. Unless the woman has had a truly freakish number just let it go. Don't even ask.

click "not interested" on those videos. Those influencers are trying to shock you so you go back to them for more. Some people they talk to are even coached. Some of these influencers just look for drunk people that are easy to manipulate or someone to pay for a better answer.

Again, click "not interested" on those videos. Your algorithm can be tailored. I had to tailor mine.

Men lie too ;) statistically more often than women. We need to accept that both sides are simply flawed. And yes, I take everything at face value.

No-Language-4424 · 2026-04-08T10:13:54+00:00

Just remember that for these red pillers, their content is just a sales funnel for the course in their bio. They make money by exploiting vulnerable people. They don't actually care about improving men, they just want your money.
