Secret of the Red Pill

B3FXCT conspiracy

Joker79 from the SoSuave forum relates a common red pill dilemma;

I’m a huge fan of the rational male and I can’t deny that it helped my a lot in these years. I’m spinning plates and I can literally pull out from the crowd the girl I want to bang. I find really amusing though when I challenge some chicks with the uncomfortable truth of the matrix (e.g. their hypergamy, decreasing SMV with age, the feminine mystique and so on). I wonder which is the common (and the worst) reaction you got from your female friends, girlfriend, women you’re meeting daily when you show them that you know the game they’re playing? I usually get “pffff NAWALT” or “you’re a player” or they seems to be butthurt once they realize I turned the table against them… nothing concrete of course because they know I’m right. any meaningful and/or funny experience?

Synergy1 adds the most common response:

I don’t openly discuss the RM and other theories with people, but its funny how a lot of the truths are actually accepted by people. Just the other day I had a discussion on how if you insult a man its funny, but if you mention a fact about women, it’s considered misogyny. The coworkers’ comment was that women are weaker than men are and I responded – why do you hate America. It got some laughs.

Some people get it. These are the same people who have been through divorce and see things for as they are. The younger guys who are still in fairytale land don’t understand or buy into it.

Joker79:

It’s not really discussing openly or starting a conversation about red pill topic, it’s more about observing their behavior when your reaction is different from what chicks expect (e.g. walk away when you’re supposed to beg them to stay, hitting on different chicks when she’s with you and disrespects you and you’re not trying to qualify for her attention at all). More often than not you get either an annoyed reaction (he’s a player) motivated by the discomfort of her knowing that you know her strategy and how to workaround it or a butthurt behavior where she pretends not to care and avoid you (rationalization hamster spinning!)

Think about it this way – you can never tell a woman about the red pill or how Game savvy you are, you can only show her.

Demonstrate, never explicate. While it might be satisfying to overtly crush a woman’s gender perceptions, being overt will always come off like conceit, or bitterness or melancholy.

If your purpose is to alienate and/or correct a woman you have no interest in by pointing out the brutal truths of being Game-aware, that’s certainly your prerogative, but you will never get into a woman’s pants or be more attractive to her by explaining the Game you are engaged in with her (or hope to be).

Women want a guy who Just Gets It.

She want’s you to ‘get it’ on your own, without having to be told how. That initiative and the experience needed to have had developed it makes you a Man worth competing for. Women despise a man who needs to be told to be dominant. Overtly relating this to a guy entirely defeats his credibility as a genuinely dominant male. The guy she wants to fuck is dominant because that’s ‘the way he is’ instead of who she had to tell him to be. Observing the process will change it. This is the root function of every shït test ever devised by a woman. If masculinity has to be explained to a man, he’s not the man for her.

Remember what I’ve bolded here, the same applies to you revealing your understanding of Game. As I’ve stated many times, women may think they want the truth, but they never want full disclosure. Women want to play the Game with you, but they want it running covertly in the background, not overtly and in her face. Much of the reason the red pill, Game and the manosphere are vilified by a blue pill public is due to the overt nature of explaining the psychological and sociological mechanisms operating underneath the social conventions, ego-invested beliefs and masks we wear in engaging with the opposite sex.

The red pill strips away a comfortable veneer – we’re supposed to Just Get It, without explaining how we just get it. Men being the more pragmatic and rational sex tend to think that a reasoned approach should be the most practical one. We deduce that women ought to be just as reasonable and can handle the truth – after all the constant repetition of how women and men are the same with different genitals – so to the uninitiated, newly unplugged red pill guy it seems sensible to remove all the pretense and explain all his understanding to a woman he’s interested in.

Play with her, and play with her.

As I’ve explained before, appeals to a woman’s reason will never bear the fruit that hopeful Beta men expect it will. Women don’t want to be told how the Game works (on some limbic level they already know how it works), they want to play the Game with a Man to determine that he knows how the Game works. There is nothing so self-satisfying for a woman than for her to believe she’s figured a Man out using her (mythical) feminine intuition. Understanding this basic tenet of women is one of the most under-appreciated advantages men have in Game.

This is where the ‘Art’ in Pick Up Artist is important. Too many men believe that understanding red pill truths and the underpinnings of Game should be enough to be convincing with women, but that learning isn’t enough. Playing the Game and applying that knowledge with women without revealing an overt understanding of it is an art that must be practiced and developed to the point where adaptation and improvisation become second nature to a man. Men with this understanding are often the ones with the most comfort and facility with women – Amused Mastery is his natural state, because he knows his advantage in not revealing the secret of the red pill to any woman he’s interested in.

RM,
I am just handing out copies of my books now…in there is all the evidence a young man needs to run 1,000 miles away from the idea of marriage.

“5% is the new 50% if you are a man” really gets through to the young men.

I have also started calling western women EVIL PEOPLE because they know all about these crimes being committed in the family courts and they do not say anything about them thus condoning them.

I somewhat agree with Lone Planet. More and more women (mostly single) are becoming blatant with their own masculine feminist “man-bashing”. Obviously dispelling red pill truth won’t help you get a bang, but big picture, I think it is good for everyone to swallow the red pill so that society can begin to solve the issues that plague us all. Forcing the ugly red pill down their throats melts the demon inside them. In the more civilized ages in the past men were more open about their knowledge of women’s true nature and women feared that. Women fear no consequences… Read more »

I just saw a movie that displays the hamster better than anything I’ve seen.

It’s “Take This Waltz,” from 2011, so it’s in rotation on cable now. Written and directed by Sarah Polley, based on her divorce. Polley has an interesting genetic backstory – her father was not her mother’s husband, the mother was a cheat, too.

Woman dumps beta who cooks for her in favor of alpha rickshaw driver/artist. It’s an interesting exposition and justification by a female of hypergamy, but validates red pill.

Some explaining of the red pill may be in order but circumstances will vary. I had one woman tell me that she would see through any “game” I tried to use on her. Of course she never did. It was when she was trying to hoodwink me into cohabit or marriage I had to explain to her that she was used goods and took too many cocks for me to trust her. In the end I didn’t care if she left or stayed around, but at some point a woman needs to hear some truth and not some white night… Read more »

It seems there are two paths.

Path one is tun tight game, internalize it, be a woman’s Personal Alpha, maintain frame, and marry.

Path Two is go MGTOW and look for a woman with self-knowledge and interest in the Red Pill, although she may be a needle in a haystack.

I can’t help but think that the “demand” to “just get it” is another expressed form of the feminine imperative. As women choose to remain ignorant, they are continuing to use their facade of weakness. With professed innocence in the actual workings of romance, even within themselves, they can always demand that everything be done by the man.

It’s no different than men simply saying, “But I don’t know how to feed and put the baby to bed, you do it.”

A magician never reveals his methods, because the mystery makes him seem like an artist; someone power and skills beyond others.

You can’t negotiate desire. When I start lecturing girl about red pill and how fuced up the world is…then I don’t want to fuck her enough. Girls who are getting lots of attention from men (read: hot) don’t really care about spreading the blue pill message (I’m from europe, so I don’t know about america). So there are much less obstacles you can tumble on. When the girl is semi-attractive…she knows it and probbably trys to throw in some frame that is supposed to up her value.

OK, so I agree that generally trying to teach the red pill to women is not likely to be a worthwhile endeavor. However, you can break off pieces of knowledge and give girls pretty useful advice. For instance, if you identify a guy who is too beta for a girl (even though he’s a great guy and she just can’t understand why she’s not hot for him), you can be pretty sure things won’t work out well. You can try to guide girls along a path that doesn’t either ignore their hypergamy or result in them chasing playboys. I’ve had… Read more »

“why aren’t you divorced yet?” I think if you tried that response it would make things worse. If you said it to a female she’d just say how good their marriage is, how strong their love is, and you could have the same. Making her ask more about why aren’t you married, why don’t you want to be married, what you afraid of, etc… Think it might be better to blow her mind and say you’ve seen too many with too many undercurrents of problems that it doesn’t appeal to you at the moment.

This. If you spit a red pill truth at a woman and she doesn’t end up fucking you later (regardless of any outrage, faux or otherwise, in the meantime), then you are/were just not alpha enough for her.

In that sense it can be a good litmus test as to your alpha/beta pH.

And that either a or b, or both, cause laws, society, culture, norms and values to realign themselves in a way more amenable to… Read more »

Joker, the aim of beta game is exactly the same as it is for alpha men – that being, to capture women.

To be metaphorical, beta men are fishing with a different lure than the alpha men, perhaps using a different style, perhaps with the intention of capturing a different species of fish.

Where the problem lies is that women are not always the fish in the equation anymore.

I’ll be extreme in my evaluation but I think that Beta game, as specified by Rollo, is nothing more than a pathetic submission to women power in order for those beta to get the basic sexual needs fulfilled and therefore stop the hunt for the women themselves. I don’t see a strong long term strategy that brings absolute happiness and dominance for the man, but only a way women have to ensure themselves with a provider through the informed acceptance of the flaws of the Beta male. After all, Alpha fvcks, beta bucks.

As Rollo’s linked article amply illustrates, it is an alternate strategy, and a very successful one, which was designed (by men) to gain access to the many women who were either not interested in, or cast off by, the “players” and therefore easier pickings for the less skillful players.… Read more »

Joker, the beta strategy is very successful. There are considerably more betas with women than there are alphas, or even alpha-wannabes, so if securing a woman is the goal (which it clearly is), then you’ve succeeded at your goal. What you do with it after the capture is the interesting part. My point is only that perhaps you want to set the bar a little higher. Where the strategy fails is the selection criteria for betas (for most men, to be honest, alphas included) is really weak and undiscerning – and after the capture, you think the game ends there.… Read more »
