I know what your thinking, wow what a clever title. I’m not gonna go all “oh the redpoll ruined my life and I hate it” For me, that’d just be dramatic. I’m gonna talk about why it’s BS, but how it manages to rope guys in.

Some background: I’m 20 yo, found the red pill at 18. After getting burned by a girl at 17, I wanted to get better at getting with girls. I had no problem talking with them, hell a lot of them even liked me and I just didn’t know what to do with it. All I needed was a little confidence. I found nofap, which was legitimately helpful and got the ball rolling on me finally dating and hooking up with girls. What used to seem like a huge challenge for me suddenly became easy but I still wanted to improve just to get with as many hot ones as possible. Also feel like I should mention I’m not a bad looking guy by any stretch. I’m 6’2, have a decent jawline, and all my friends both guy and girl say I’m one of the best looking in the group.

Anyways, college comes around and I finish first semester. I had a blast making friends, meeting and hooking up with a bunch of girls, and overall having a great time. I hear about red pill, and decide to go all in on it that Christmas break. I still continue to hook up with girls, but it’s different. All of a sudden I start thinking it’s bad to care about them getting pleasure because the pill. I became extremely selfish, not too the point where I’d hurt anyone but I basically totally stopped caring about other people. Part of me knows this isn’t right but the pill says your a weak beta loser whatever if you do that.

I keep going back and forth between taking the pill and spitting it out. Some things it talks I saw in my own life yes, but I also saw the opposite happen plenty of times. I got with girls that started out just wanting to be friends, but according to the pill my chances were dead with them unless I ran some ultra precise and calculated pua game technique. SPOILER ALERT: I didn’t, all I did was vibe. Then it occurred to me: when I’m with girls, I don’t think of 95% of the bullshit on that sub, and when I do, that’s when things come out cringe and unnatural.

I realize despite the way the sub advertises itself as a self-improvement guide, it’s really just a bunch of “gender-war, reasons women suck in 2020” bullshit. I’ll be real, I don’t care about that shit. I don’t like guys that hate women just as much as I don’t like radical feminists. Normal people really don’t care about that nonsense.

So yeah, not the most thought-out post, but just my feelings on the matter during the wee hours of the morning
