The following thread really drills down into something important that is often lost on new members. Do this for yourself! All of the external reasons you might have for swallowing the pill comes second to the personal satisfaction and happiness which comes from within.

Letting go of the external sources of happiness can be difficult if you're not being driven from that inner well, so many latch onto validation from outside sources. Becoming aware of these things and when we do it is the first step in fixing this issue. This is one area I see PUAs fail at time and time again. They get so wrapped up in getting laid and being successful with women that it becomes a part of their identity. When they falter or get rejected it has a significant impact on their psyche. Don't let that happen to you!

The large majority of information on The Red Pill focuses on behaviors, activities, traits, and ways to develop those traits, that do one very significant thing: Make you more attractive. If you read enough material without really delving into the details, that seems to be the primary focus of The Red Pill. Being attractive. Becoming more attractive. Attracting others. Staying attractive – more attractive than others. Passively keeping others aware of your attractiveness. Attractive this. Attractive that. Attraction.

But if you look just beneath the surface, The Red Pill is about something more. The Red Pill is about being happy. It’s really a collection of thoughts, essays, and theories about how to be happy as a man. Actually happy. Happy. Not just content, like a fat video game addict jerking off to porn and drinking beer. Not just not sad, like a henpecked married guy going through the motions. Happy. Successful, proud of your life, eager to wake up in the morning, confident about the future, happy.
