Pua, specifically Return of Kings, was my first introduction to the red pill and it didn't take me long to realize that though they got the surface stuff right (women's nature, hypergamy, etc) they entirely missed the meat and potatoes of the issue. They're mistaken in assuming that if they just work harder they'll get the girl. Really, they're worse than blue pillers because they know the dealer is holding a royal flush, but they go all in anyway. At least blue pillers are blissfully unaware of their situation. When you go full circle, you realize this energy and knowledge needs to be directed to yourself.
