I'm actually pretty new to looking into this whole red pill idea and I think I've decided to swallow the pill. I've grown up extremely "beta" with very low self-esteem and little knowledge of how to actually get the things I wanted out of this life. The fucked up thing is, and this is something I've been recently able to accept, I'm a pretty damn attractive guy and pretty smart too. Growing up, I think I suffered from mild depression - that's a whole different story.
My idea of the red pill seems to differ a little from TRP though. I can definitely agree with TRP philosophy of being the best 'you' possible, living life to it's fullest trying to have the best experience with this one life we get. I'm a proponent of taking care of your physical body. Lifting weights, eating healthy, just taking care of the way you look. I like that it encourages making good habits and keeping up with them. Getting on a schedule and sticking to it. I understand that sexual gain relies on understanding of human psychology. People like to call "game" manipulation, but rather, I think it's understanding of how psychology works, how it differs from men and women the way we're developed by society, and using that knowledge. If "game" were so evil, why would it work so effectively? We don't consciously make the decision to play the game, it's just a part of human psychology, and like it or not, it has an effect on you too. As TRP points out, sexual strategies are amoral. By nature, we are primal creatures.
I have a hard time going full-TRP though - from what I understand the subreddit's philosophies to be based on content I've seen from some TRP-endorsed users. It focuses so much on personal gain and achieving personal happiness, some of the things even TRP-endorsed users say are...hard for me to agree with. I think it is good to seek personal happiness. We shouldn't live our lives wasting it worrying too much about others' emotions. But I don't think it's right to take advantage of other human beings for our personal gains. I don't know, yeah it absolutely fucking sucks the types of shitty people there are in this world but I dunno...I don't think it's right to take advantage of it.
I hope I didn't come off sounding like some "white-knight." I'm not being judgmental. I don't think I'm better than anybody. Whatever life you choose to live, that's you're prerogative. We do only get this one life to live. Live it whatever way gives you the most fulfilling experience. We definitely should worry about our own happiness first but I think having true empathy, caring about another human soul, can have profound effects on the experience you get from this life.
