I know this is definitely a generalization, I am confused about the categorization of the pills, especially the 'Purple pill'. What do you think? I'm trying to write myself a "how to guide" on life, to help me during harder times :D

  • Blue Pill - "If I keep doing what i'm doing, I can one day marry the girl of my dreams" (classic thought process) - The outcome of this would be lack of sex/relationships and frustration, but still hope.

  • Purple Pill - "If I am confident, learn game, lift, adapt "bad boy" traits and become my best self, I can probably marry the girl of my dreams" ("The Game", "Models" etc.) - The outcome of this would be sex/relationships BUT no true happiness, since you would still be lingering in the fantasy of finding a perfect girl and when things go sour, you would be desperate.

  • Red Pill - "If I learn game, lift, adapt "bad boy" traits and become my best self, I can probably get laid and married if I wanted to. Women are who they are and I accept it. Looks and genetics do matter, however I focus only on the things that I CAN change. The girl of my dreams does not exist and everything can be over in an instant for any reason, everything including love is temporary and it's okay, because I still have everything else in order." ("The Rational Male", "Book of Pook") - The outcome of this would be sex/relationships AND true happiness, since you realize that you sought happiness from a concept that is flawed. You'd still be 'bummed' if things go sour in a relationship but because you either have abundance with women and/or everything else in your life is good.

  • Black Pill/Incel - "No matter what I do, everything is determined in life, mostly by genetics. Even If I got really fit, learned game and became my best self, it would still not be enough and no woman will ever like me, because im not too tall/good looking etc. The only thing that could help would be expensive cosmetic surgeries." The outcome of this would be lack of sex/relationships, possible lack of social interactions. This also leads to depression.

The 'solution'

  • Realize that you are depressed - Even IF the ideas presented in the black pill are correct, your worldview is biased and no matter how many examples of short, balding guys getting laid you see.
  • Stop reading manosphere blogs (TRP, Black pill etc.) - It often IS toxic and due to depression, your worldview is negative, which means you can't accept the 'locker room'/tough love talk that is in TRP even if it shouldn't be taken as literally (/u/GayLubeOil). Especially stop reading/watching 'Black Pill' material.
  • Start reading/watching videos about positive masculinity and general self-improvement - guys like BulldogMindset (although, he has a lot of comments/dislikes from incels), Alpha M, Elliot Hulse, Joe Rogan etc.
  • Meditation/power talk - Start meditating regularily, do loving-kindess/metta meditation. Replace negative thoughts with positive ones ("I am enough", "I am loved, "I feel good" etc.). IT IS HARD, but it's not impossible.
  • Lift
  • Get your T levels checked, start taking supplements if necessary (vitamin D etc.)
  • Therapy - You need to get your brain chemistry fixed by talking to a professional,taking medication if necessary. (+ cognitive therapy etc.)
