Heya dudes

I had a lurking period on this subReddit a while back when I went through my whole “taking the red pill moment” but I don’t come here as often anymore.

I assume it’s because when we went through our moments, we learnt and applied.

(God, I thought I had learnt and cracked the code to life when I first got into bed with a girl!)

However, when I look now at some of the posts on this page, I feel we may have forgotten what the end game is. The end game isn’t more sex, more plates or more indifference to rejection.

The end game is understanding who we are, to put us on a pursuit which will continue to keep us on our toes. It is a pursuit which continues regardless of how we evolve, because we continue to strive to be better. Nobody sits down after a massive cut and thinks “wow I guess I’ll just maintain this physique from now on”.

Same for your career, sex life, and overall well being.

I saw a video recently - I can’t place who was talking about this but I’ll try to paraphrase what the idea was:

If your end game is to have more sex and meet women, you will end your pursuit of self-betterment as soon as you achieve such things.

When I started on my red pill journey, I honestly only wanted more sex and validation from women.

I ate 2000 cals a day, and ran 10km every single day I could, to lose 20kg overall. The bottom line is that the wise men on this group taught me about being lean, game, and much more. And I learnt, and applied!

I went through a super cool renewed-version-of-me summer but I felt empty because I had never had the attention and love of a woman. And thus, I dove head first into a relationship.

It was good for a while but I treated this woman like garbage for close to a year and a half because I didn’t think you could be any other way with a long term partner. I honestly regret how I was.

But I had love and attention, so I had finally achieved what I wanted when I first came to this sub.

I then got complacent.

I got fat, I started drinking everyday, I became lazy and lost sight of my own future.

In essence, I forgot what the red pill had taught me because I had achieved what I thought the red pill would bring me.

Which brings me to question of what the red pill really teaches us.

On a surface level, the red pill brutalises the concept of increasing personal value to achieve a better sex life. I think it’s incredibly effective - I’m not complaining. It dramatically changed the course of my life (judging from how the past three years have been)

However, the deeper idea in taking the red pill, I would contend, is:

1) to put us all in a journey where we self-analyse and attempt to better ourselves.

2) understand our own flaws, and work on them.

3) learn how both items above massively impact the rest of our lives.

If you’re a dude in the lurking phase, learning what the red pill is, please go out and try every fucking thing your brothers talk about here. You will learn so much about people.

If you already went through a journey of self betterment, and have achieved your short term goals, please remember what the red pill teaches you.

Don’t get lost and fall prey to habit once you achieve what you came here for.

The pursuit of self must always continue. The rest always follows.
