The opening of the rules have allowed for more diverse discussion here, which we welcome with open arms. However, there are distinguishing features of RPW that make it “RPW”, rather than any generic relationship subreddit. These features are the broad umbrella for which all posts must fall under, and within these very broad constraints is where we allow disagreement and discussion. The understanding of what these things are will keep discussion on topic and prevent the subreddit from becoming a debate sub to defend basic principles.

Here are the official axioms of RPW:

  • The belief that if you want to have a good partner, you have to be a good partner. This means having some understanding of what men want in a partner, and in particular, what your man wants in a partner, and then using that information to become the best version of yourself you can be. For this reason, self-improvement and self-awareness are fundamental components of RPW.

  • Truth is more important than feelings and truth is measured by results.

  • The understanding men and women have different natures and preferences. They have different strengths and weaknesses, and different sexual strategies.

  • The fundamental SMP transaction is, Women are gatekeepers of sex, men are gatekeepers of commitment.

  • The acceptance that we are all flawed. In that umbrella we hold the belief that many red pill terms are largely true about us. AWALT, hypergamy, shit testing, etc. However the meaning of these terms is open for debate.

  • The idea that relationships generally work better if the man is in charge. It is a preferred relationship to both the man and the woman. This is due to the inherent dominant nature of men and submissive nature of women.

  • The ultimate goal for a woman is a long lasting relationship with a man who she loves, respects, and is attracted to.

  • Every woman ultimately bears agency for her outcome and satisfaction with life. One of her most important responsibilities is choosing a man worthy of her trust and devotion.

This list is open to discussion. If you feel that I have missed something, or you want to discuss the merits of anything here, that is welcome! However keep in mind that I will not be able to add any suggestions that I feel are not broad enough, or don't represent the community.
