What made you join the red pill?

It accurately described reality. Women finally made sense. I went from thinking they were crazy, unfathomable creature to being able to accurate predict their behavior. This led to better sexual success and easier, better and higher quality relationships.

My experience with women has shown me that they like men who are masculine, and who make them feel feminine. Only a fool would think otherwise.

(Please don’t respond to this comment by telling me how effeminate your husband or boyfriend is. He really would not want you saying that about him online.)

Lack of results. Then results.

The fact that everything they said matched observable reality. It's really that simple.

You don’t join the red pill. Idk who keeps telling people that you join the red pill. It’s not a club, it’s not a corporation, it’s just stuff to read. Obviously as you can tell everyone who identifies with the red pill doesn’t agree with everything that is written there, just like any other forum.

Anyway. I was on Reddit trying to learn about body language as so I could learn to present myself better, it lead to me to the seduction subreddit which lead me to the redpill. I was in college and I didn’t have an anger phase because 1. I didn’t have a major event like geting dumped, divorced, cheated on etc that lead me there, and 2. I was already raised and had opinions in a red pill way without the language, so I was more so confirming and connecting dots that I already thought about.

Also, all those podcasters are just grifters who want to dunk on women and tickle the pickle of men who are bitter/ traditional Christian based in a quickly changing world.

I don't remember what it was exactly. I was single, lonely, and depressed for years. I stumbled upon TRP and Rich Cooper by accident. I read the sidebar and realized it accurately explained every relationship and interaction with women in my life. I was skeptical at first, because I was a feminist, and it sounded very misogynistic. I was already single and struggling, so I had nothing to lose. I decided to give it a shot, since I am a man of science. If it worked, great. If it didn't, oh well, I couldn't get more single.

I went monk mode for a year, improved myself, and internalized the sidebar. Afterwards, I reliably pulled women from Tinder and had multiple girlfriends. Safe to say, it was a phenomenal success and improved my chances with women.

Quite crappy dating. Knew a lot of dudes that were players, always wondered what they had that I didn't, what made women want them and made women not want me. Had a few relationships, for work reasons they ended, being in the Army wasn't ideal. Met some girl and got friendzoned after she was into me one night. Went back on tour and was told by some guys to read "The Game". Got a lot more successful with women, left the army, joined a PUA lair, ended up running the PUA lair was loving life. Then got made redundant, got in a shitty job situation, got in a better job situation, then COVID hit. During lockdown I discovered this place, someone advised me to read "The Rational Male". I read it and a lot of stuff from PUA suddenly made sense as to "WHY".

Anyway lockdown ended. Got a new job, the company got restructured. Everytime free weekend I had, I was loving it, Game wise, stuff was working, results were happening. My social life was getting better and better. But my work life balance was shit. So I got a new job with better pay and am now smashing the gym like mad, dieting, meditating, doing loads of new agey shit. Feeling happier about life. Come new year, getting back on it Game wise.

The end.

EDIT: I did have an anger phase. But that due to Lockdown and work situations. I was also a bit horrified when I actually got better at game, with the willingness of women to cheat and slag off boyfriends and stuff. It did have me questioning life and relationships. But I am over it now. It is what it is. I would rather understand human nature than be oblivious to it. I know I still need to work on myself, but life is work in progress.

2nd EDIT: I have not joined it either as someone else said, its not a club. Its taking your current beliefs about the world and how it works, and recalibrating them by applying RedPill beliefs.

I don't think some guys go "Full Redpill". Take AWALT. If you believe women are perfect and put them on a pedstal and basically worship them and the ground they walk on. Applying AWALT, will probably get you to a more realistic belief. Like yeah, they are flawed people, some short, some fat, some thin, some tall, some attractive, some not so. But they are not what I believed they were before. It just took the jolt of AWALT to change something that was created emotionall. Just shouting at people "Women are people" is not going to alter something made at the emotional level.

What is Red Pill.

Red pill is not a group or organization it's a system of beliefs that pertain to men and women and the mating arena. Red Pill is an expose of female nature to otherwise deluded men - a wake up call. It's only "agenda" might be to inform men who would otherwise be cannon fodder in the sexual marketplace.

What is Red Pill Rage:

The initial shock of finding out how women really think about men, relationships and different TYPES of men feels like a betrayal. We feel we were lied to - by women, by society and even our own parents. We may have been told that "all men are created equal" and that we all play by the same rules. We may have been told "be a good guy and get a good job and be good to a lady" and that was the trick to a successful marriage. We may have been told that to be a man is to be innately predatory, or bad and to be a woman is to be innately nurturing or benevolent. We may have been told that if we "just be nice and be ourselves" that love would somehow find US. We basically believe we were intentionally lied to, because other people had agendas for us. And Red Pill dispels these lies and gives us the information we need to avoid serious trouble and avoid broken and very costly relationships with women.

Where I am at:

I've given up on relationships with women. I've been divorced for over 10 years now and have not had sex or a relationship with a woman since. I've really lost all attraction for women, to be honest. I've focused on bettering myself, mastering my addictions, healing my mental health issues, and ultimately being the best and most supportive dad I can be to my kids. I believe a relationship where her happiness, needs wants and desires ultimately needs to come first would be at complete odds with my mission to put my kids first. I've had LOTS of casual sex in my pre-marriage days, and quite honestly, at my age, I don't want that OR a long term relationship. So, my relationships with women are (a) mother (b) daughter (c) ex-wife (d) a few work colleagues. (e) casual chit chat with fellow dog lovers in the park and service / wait staff. I don't hate women, I just have zero desire to be in a romantic situation. I just got another "she wants you to have her contact info and wants yours" the other day. I just smile and say "Tell her I'm in a relationship". Or tell her I'm gay. Or a space alien. I just don't fucking care.

What got me into Red Pill:

I got into Red Pill while I was still married because I was sort-of researching male-female dynamics even then. Red Pill seemed to just gel together a lot of pre-existing beliefs and concept I already had about women, relationships and love. As I took a deeper dive, the more everything made sense to me. I had to wonder, too, why so many were adamantly trying to dispel this information and call it "misogyny". I now think they are either women or simps who prefer to keep the blue pill blinders on men, and advocate simping, white knighting and Beta Buxing. After all, why are the "lived experiences" of women taken so seriously while those of men are simply mocked and dismissed. Ah, Red Pill can answer those questions as well.

Red Pill is simply truth - truth about how things work.

Blue Pill is a desire to maintain the status quo, the way things were before men became collectively away. Red Pill is mainstream now and not going anywhere.

Red Pill has made my life better, made it about ME and MY needs and my KIDS needs.

Besides, at my age, women are just looking for ~~someone to travel with~~ a retirement plan on legs to get help with their travel expenses. I think travel is an idiotic waste of money, as it most of the material/status crap most women seem to be into.

My cost of living without a woman is about 50% (or more ) lower. It's SO GOOD.

I just have no need to have a woman around, for anything.

And that is how I am going to ride this one into the sunset. With zero regrets.

I joined the Red Pill in 2018 after my ex girlfriend of 4 years cheated on me. But it wasnt just her it was the accumulation of other poor experiences I had with women along the way. Between all the heartbreaks, always feeling blindsided, and never knowing what I did wrong I got tired of being the sucker. It always ended up being "there was another guy."

I identify with the mgtow philosophy that marriage is dead, red pill is correct on its theory on women, and Men should not slave themselves to the game.

Steakman1 · 2023-12-12T22:46:34+00:00

I’m ex redpill. But what made me initially interested was being in a relationship which turned abusive from her, and she ended up leaving me for another guy while most likely cheating on me with him near the end if the relationship.

I was raised to believe you just need to be a good guy to keep women happy, I also previously white knighted a lot, and I had the women are wonderful effect

DarayRaven · 2023-12-12T20:27:27+00:00

I would say neither honestly

My redpill journey was a process since l still had a lot of bluepill ideals even when knowing the principles

Also you describe it as some movement when redpill is nothing more than seeing human nature for what it is, that's why it's called RP "awareness"

stats135 · 2023-12-12T21:10:25+00:00

At the highest level, I was always RP. You could say i was RP before TRP existed. But if you mean what made me interested in TRP community, not just the concepts behind it, I would have to say that Slate Star Codex was my entry point.
