Why do you think Studys about dating are only wrong in the Red Pill direction?

You'll have to be more specific. I haven't really seen any studies that provide evidence for the red pill tenets. I've seen red pill interpretations of studies, but that's not empirical and there can be non-red pill interpretations of those same studies too.

If you ever feel the need to go through my history, you'll see that when I cite studies, I usually go out of my way to point out weaknesses, caveats, and alternate interpretations. That's why my overall gist is that we don't know so many things Red Pillers are willing to assume.

However, a more general answer is that Blue Pill doesn't exist. It isn't a single ideology or set of arguments. THe only thing that theoretically unitesus is that we're anti-red pill. That is to say, we don't collectively share many, if any, objective and affirmative takes to advance. Refuting Red Pill takes is why we're here. The burden of proof is generally on Red Pill for this reason.

It's sort of like why atheists don't have to disprove religions, just demonstrate that religions aren't proven and can't prove themselves.

I have yet to see any study support red pill claims. The studies and surveys red pill presents (that is, actual studies and surveys, not some dude on a blog claiming to have run a Tinder experiment) are generally not wrong in the sense that the data itself is wrong, it's that red pillers intentionally fabricate claims that are not supported by the data.

The easiest example is "women only swipe right on 5% of men" is not the same as "women only swipe right on the same 5% of men."

The data supports the former, but red pillers lie and claim it proves the latter.

I've never seen a study that actually proved or claimed to prove a red pill talking point to even discredit. I've seen studies that showed something else where there was an attempt to stretch them to fit red pill when it often even had evidence for the opposite point.

The studies might have usable data but the conclusions made are horrendous.
