I'm currently a red piller. My favorite overall program is Coach Greg Adams. I love his channel because he makes it funny and not bitter or angry. I also agree with the free agent lifestyle strategy - which is where men who, if they want relationships with women, need to spend a few years leveling themselves up. This gives them leverage.

I also enjoy Kevin Samuels. He breaks down female nature live on air when they start saying insane things. He also proves how real hypergamy is - most of the women on his program, regardless of income, will say that they don't want to work after they have kids. That's hypergamy - your husband has to be able to replace your income to do that.

Some background about me - I'm a single father. I was originally going to marry my child's mother but she left and tried to get back with me a few years later. At that point I had pretty much shut down the idea of a relationship with her.

These days, I am generally MGTOW. I don't see the point of dating. I think that social media, dating apps and feminism have completely ruined dating. At this point, there does not appear to be a clear cut social contract between men and women - as in sex is appropriate after a certain number of dates, marriage is appropriate under these circumstances etc. The dating environment is complete chaos and everyone is miserable on most of these apps.

When you compound this with the fact that dating as a single parent is a god awful mess, I don't really see much of a reason to bother.

As far as my red pill views are concerned, I subscribe to a few key concepts but The Red Pill is a praxeology, not an ideology. The goal is to have a series of rules that tend to get certain outcomes - that's it. If approaching women a certain way gets you better results - fine. I don't pray at the altar of Rollo Tomassi. I just think that some of the work of himself and other content creators have helped us understand women better. That's it.

It's not a get out of jail free card for every disgusting thing you want to do with women. It's just a series of ideas and best practices that might improve your outcomes if you follow them.

Here are the basics I subscribe to:

  1. Hypergamy. Women marry up. Women are biologically hard wired to see men as providers and protectors. If a man cannot provide better than she can, she generally does not see him as a viable partner. To use women's own words, they blame a lack of economically attractive men on the decline of marriage rates. This is no surprise to me being Red Pill. I accept that women expect men to outperform them in terms of survival - otherwise they do not want them. We also see that men losing their jobs is a huge driver of divorce. I am not even remotely angry at women for being hypergamous - I think they should be. I just think that men need to be able to make their demands as well and if women are going to be hypergamous, they should let men have the higher paying jobs and not worry as much about what they can earn because generally women do not share their wealth with men.
  2. There is no one. One of the most toxic, dangerous myths that ever crippled me in my life was this notion. I was so stupidly in love with my ex that when we broke up, I had a series of mental breakdowns that almost landed me in jail. This idea that you will cease to exist or not be happy without that one person is so destructive to men. There are good ones and there are bad ones, but there is no one.
  3. Feminism is destructive. I don't think women and men are equal and I think that forcing them to be equal has just made men and women hate each other. I also think that feminism has become more about enriching women and destroying men. For example, we see pushes to create more female CEO's but not more female ditch diggers.I also think feminism has destroyed marriage with marriage rates at a new low. This is a huge problem. I think men and women need each other but when men and women don't bring anything the other wants to the table, we have a stalemate. The long term results will be catastrophic.

I've read some of the arguments against the above here in this forum and haven't found much convincing evidence any of this stuff is wrong. Again - no one in TRP community claims that TRP is a guaranteed silver bullet that gets you women 100% of the time. It's a praxeology for getting better results with women. I might train martial arts but that doesn't mean I can beat anyone up.

I don't hate women. I have women friends and a good relationship with my mother. I just generally think a lot of the topics in TRP community are spot on when it comes to women.

My mental health has improved the last 3-4 years since I became red pill. I used to have terrible anxiety and mental health issues. Now I sleep well and spend lots of quality time with my son.

If the people on this forum really feel I should quit, I just have a few questions:

-What damage will me continuing to explore these ideas do?

-What information can you give me that thoroughly debunks these ideas - aside from what is already in the pinned post in this forum? I did not find much of it convincing.

Let me know. I'm genuinely interested in a conversation. I'm not angry, trying to recruit nor am I an incel. Just wanting to see if there is a good case on this forum for abandoning some of this content.
