What The Red Pill Really Means

Very good to remind us. I have always found it a bit dualistic, this heavy emphasis on how to deal with women when it is being repeated that when bettering yourself on a wide array of subjects the dames will come and yet what do we almost exclusively talk about...? Women.

I'd love to read much much more about keeping frame in interactions with anybody, not just women. Or how one trains himself to keep his emotions in check. Etc.

What a load of bollocks. TRP is game, TRP is unplugging from the societal narrative meant to fulfill women's sexual strategy, TRP is about spinning plates, saving your marriage or not getting married in the first place.

The fact that power is what women crave is the only reason why TRP advocates power in the first place. If power wasn't a defining trait of masculinity, we wouldn't even talk about it here.

What's happening is that you feel bad that getting women is the reason why you're here and why you're doing all these efforts in the first place, so you're hamstering your way out of it.

I disagree, the red pill is a sexual strategy and it was based on that alone. Just go read the sidebar, ALL of it is about gender relations, men having issues with women, and men improving their sex lives. Seriously, go read the sidebar and it is about stuff like schedules of mating, sexual strategy, and confessions of a reformed incel. If I wanted to obtain career advice, I would go to a forum for that and no come to this sub. Advice about lifting? I would go on a lifting sub for that and nutrition sub for making sure my caloric intake and all that is right.

The red pill is a politically incorrect sub for discussing sexual strategy and gender relations, that is what it actually is. I am frustrated that men want to make this sub into something it is not. The red pill is not a sub where you can come to bitch about coworkers, boast your career achievements, and talk about how awesome your life is because you won some stupid little argument.

Downvote me all you like but read the sidebar for once in your life and you will see that the red pill is about sexual strategy, it is a politically incorrect guide to getting laid, none of that PUA nonsense or dating coach BS. Quit trying to make the sub into something it is not, it is losing its purpose because of shit like this.

Life is all about power. Power is the ability to control your life the way you want it to be. Very good post. Brusque, yet eloquent.

You have made TRP too generic. TRP is more specific than you're treating it. It's about coming to terms with the fact that men and women have different ways of thinking about relationships. It's what helps men understand how their divorce was possible when they thought it was impossible because they were doing "all the right things."

You're leaving out a substantial feature of TRP: the fact that it requires breaking out of one way of understanding relationships and freeing oneself to see them in a new way. TRP is about a new way of looking. It enables a man to see what was irrational from a BP perspective (why his wife cheated on him with her boss) as rational from a TRP perspective.

In other words, TRP allows men to make more sense of the world. Where BP men will see irrationality and unpredictable cruelty, TRP men will see logic and sense.

TRP is also about recognizing that there is no eternal home of sweetness and love in the world. BP men are led to believe there's a bastion of relief in the love of women. TRP men know that there is no safe place to withdraw from the fray.

Yes, this way of looking at relationships does enable a man to have more power. But simply reducing it to power overlooks the fact that the metaphor is "the red pill" from the Matrix. The reason why that metaphor is used is because it suggests a broadening of the mind and a new way of seeing such that the old way of seeing can never be restored. Telling men to empower themselves is nothing special, and nothing intellectual. Acting like that is the heart of TRP is watering down the meaning of TRP.

Yes, TRP will help you with women, but The Red Pill IS NOT about women and it never will be.

Yes it fucking is, you idiot. Read the sidebar, moron:

The Red Pill: Discussion of sexual strategy in a culture increasingly lacking a positive identity for men.

The Red Pill is an extended discussion about sexual strategies with women. It's about women.

Sounds a lot like Jihad to me. I'm new here, is there a lot of talk about conspiracy and the Jews on here?

willowhawk · 2015-08-01T22:28:48+00:00

I always saw TRP as stripping away the bullshit that is forced opon us. The fact that allot of this bullshit revolves around women means that they're a highly talked about subject.

This needed to be said. I feel many come here with the intention of getting women or how to be better at using women, or simply to come here and have reassurance that there are other that are fed up with women. If you are someone that is fed up with women, congratulations. You are one of the lucky ones. You now have begun the process of ridding yourself of the one weak link in so many mens armor. So many men fall prey to women and succumb to their regime. Basing their entire life around women and they don't even know it. You on the other hand are completely separate from this frame of mind, and as alienated as it first makes one feel, realize it can be the first step forward in building your lighthouse. A solid rock in a vast ocean. A beacon. Ready to built by your and you alone. Absolute freedom awaits. Power and self worth. These are all that matters on this world.

I find it easy to respect men who respect themselves. Whenever I'm around other people who have a sense of jokingness that is almost unbearable. I sense a feeling of insecurity and I avoid them as if they had the black plague.

Ease up. Nice post. Keep it simple. Lift on my brothers.

MentORPHEUS · 2015-08-02T02:04:34+00:00

Have we been introduced? Who are you again, to presume to say what the Red Pill is/isn't, yet be a ways off the mark? I sense you meant well but are misguided, as opposed to a classic concern troll.

How about write and post the content you think belongs here, and build a reputation that way?

HelloJapan1 · 2015-08-01T23:02:00+00:00

redpill is about complaining about the social injustice against men and posting your AWALT stories all day meanwhile being duped into believing PUA is real

Almost like a state of the Union type address here. Good points
