not even trolling, what is a red pill?

Tbh, dude you don’t even want to know I would kill to not know about these pills. Really ruined my entire perception on dating and women, if I was you I would turn back and forget you ever heard about it.

A vicious negative feedback loop of toxic misogynistic and hateful beliefs that reinforce self-esteem issues.

The pill that says you are awaken from the matrix by realizing modern culture is degrading men and their natural inclinations. The best combatant for this is consumerism. But as much as you can, buy a lambo, but a mink coat, but bottles at the club. Show your worth, show your value. Buy buy buy. Buy my course while you are at it

That’s not what they’ll say straight forward but it’s just another way to sell consumerism and courses. It was very effective during the pandemic when loneliness was at a high point.

So the name is a reference to the Matrix (see here)

Its used in a number of different contexts. But the dominant form on Reddit is with regards to gender and dating. This is the use that is relevant to this subreddit. These ideas have some basic self ideas built in (get in shape, dress well, find things to be confident about) and a bunch of misogyny (generalizations about women including things like hypergamy and such). They provide "easy answers" to the complicated question of dating so are quite attractive. There are a number of forums and spaces within the wider manosphere were such topics and discussed, with core talking points and misinterpreted statistics used.

Someone self identifying as red pilled should be viewed with caution. Best case they are young and naive (plenty of young lads stumble in looking for those easy answers) without really understanding the underlying misogyny.

Note the second most common version is to do with accepting various alt-right ideologies. This absolutely can overlap with the above misogyny. This also doesn't inspire much better than caution when someone claims it

It's a couple of content creators following cult-like operation to convince men of ideas that will get them isolated from everyone they love while being willing to spend their money on such creators by buying "education" and other forms of more content that would allegedly get them women.

It's a pill that is the color red.

A matrix reference

Eastern-Resource-773 · 2023-12-23T14:47:06+00:00

Its the idea that the Disney version of love you are taught is true from movies, popular culture and girls who wasnt interrested in you doesnt exist and that your ability to be loved by women are based on performance like how you look, social skills, social status and income.

Its also a group of grifter on YouTube selling male masturbation fantasies achivable only by people with large amounts of liquid cash.

DecisionPlastic9740 · 2023-12-21T23:25:40+00:00

It's from matrix film. Red pill gives truth about whatever.

jamacianmecrazy67890 · 2023-12-23T09:06:18+00:00

Originally it was men educating themselves about women's dating strategies. But it seems to have been co-opted by some grifters into something different.

The lack of consensus on the definition is holding this subreddit back from reaching its final form.

Naz_3000 · 2023-12-22T04:41:44+00:00

90 percent of redpill is highly correct and based on public stats. About how unfair men are treated in the legal system as opposed to women. It's good to study the origins and leaders of red pill. But just don't live in it.

Some of the crucial fact behind women's promiscuity and pai bonding. Or children less likely to succeed when the father is not in their life. Etc

The people who talk the most negatively about it usually don't want to take responsibility or be held accountable for the actions in their own lives.
