The Red Pill is not a means to an end. It is not a technique. It isn’t a cousin to NoFap (seriously, enough with this bullshit). It’s not a how-to guide to getting laid. It’s not a how-to guide to being a good man. It is not an encyclopedia of answers to questions men have about life. It's not a billboard for slut-shaming. It's not a billboard for beta shaming. It's not a pedestal for the greatness of men, nor propaganda for the right of men to rule over the lives of women.

The Red Pill is simply a reality.

The reality is this: That the relationship between men and women is almost directly opposite of what you were taught, that love is more complex than <insert romance movie line about love, ie. “the recognition of the souls counterpart in another”(Wedding Crashers)>, that men and women are equal beings with different desires, that our motivations can be immoral when acted upon but amoral in nature, that unrealistic expectations by society cause people to live in terrible situations and that the reality of masculinity in the western world is at odds with the façade that is the western world.

I see a lot of posts from men, often who have only just been introduced to this reality, who want to spout some well-established truism of this reality like preachers spreading the word of God to the choir. We already addressed you. You should be reading and writing field reports, not excitedly throwing your hat in to the ring of educating. I can tell when you’re new to this when you use phrases such as “I am still swallowing the pill” or “X behavior is BETA, X is ALPHA” or “You guys were right, look at Kim Kardashian”. You still don’t understand it. You remind of a white belt in jiu jitsu (novice level) trying to explain the flow of jiu jitsu – you don’t even realize how little you know.

“Was it alpha when I did this?” “BRO, that was beta!” If you’ve taken part in this discussion, you are missing the point and you have more to learn. To use a TRP term – you are still in an erroneous frame.

TRP isn’t something you swallow. This isn’t The Matrix, you don’t have the luxury of a Blue Pill and the ignorance and bliss that would follow it. You found us, you’ve been flushed down the tube and you can’t plug back in.

TRP is specifically a community of men who have a better understanding of reality and are taking the time to help you understand it as well. It’s not a community of angry neckbeards as Reddit would paint us, nor are we a community of dark-triad pussy slayers as many of our own members would paint us. We’re just a group of men who are trying to live better lives through understanding why our perception of reality failed us and how we can adjust it to be more accurate.

TRP isn’t a club where we all vow to never marry. It’s not a membership you are awarded for following the rules of TRP. It’s not a list of guidelines. Nobody is going to kick you out of TRP for marrying a post-CC wall-smashed sorority girl with alpha babies, tons of debt and a failing appearance. We’re just going to point out to you the reality of how stupid that decision was.

TRP is a reality you accept, or you remain miserable (which is what brought you here to begin with).

You’ve been shown a true reality of the world. What you do with that knowledge is up to you, not us, not the members of AskTRP, not your parents, not your girlfriend and not society. Once you understand that, you have successfully swallowed The Red Pill.
