Why is the fact that being attractive and extroverted makes you a more appealing partner "unpleasant"? Those things aren't superficial to care about, either in short-term or long-term partners, for women or men. Growing up as a woman being told that I wasn't supposed to care what my partner looked like, and therefore that what I was actually into was wrong - *that* was unpleasant. |
DP but I think the point is women often seek tall and muscle bound extroverted men who then treat them poorly over the nice guys who may be attractive enough but lack that alpha status. After years of getting dumped by the alpha guys the women settle for a nice guy. Then after ten years the women get tired of their beta and cheat on him and deny him sex. You haven’t seen this pattern on this board? The red pill seeks to point this out to men so they focus their efforts on the gym and not being the shoulder. |
I think the point is men often seek hot extroverted women who then treat them poorly over the nice girls who may be attractive enough but lack that hot girl status. After years of getting played/dumped by the hot crazy girl the men settle for a nice girl. Then after ten years the men get tired of their aging wife and cheat on her and ignore her. |

No, I think that's an insane fable that applies to a small fraction of women unless you are distorting all of the details of what happened and framing this in the least charitable way possible. I was in an abusive relationship in my early 20s with a short and not-very-muscular guy who sought me out, seduced to me, and lied to me. Was that me 'seeking out tall and muscle bound extroverted men who treated me poorly'? No, that was me making a bad life choice, suffering from it immensely, and then changing my priorities about who I dated and then married. My husband has a similar story about dating a woman who was abusive to him (and also not especially attractive, by the way.) Do you take offense to the fact that when I was younger I made bad romantic choices? Was I somehow "denying" sex to nice guys that I owed to them? If so, what was my husband doing? Also, do you think attractive, confident guys don't have wives who get tired of sleeping with them after ten years and a few kids? Go to the gym because you'll be more attractive and it's good for you physically and emotionally. Draw healthy boundaries in your life. Walk away from people who are abusive. But if you use this kind of language to talk about women, and they find out, a lot of them aren't going to like it. |

"Alpha f**ks. Beta bucks." (Women have sex with jerks when they're young & hot, then settle down with a resource provider and stop having sex.) |
Nah. The cute-but-not-hot nice girls were also writing "Chad" with little hearts in their high school notebooks; not pining over the reasonably attractive captain of the chess team. |
The reasonably attractive captain of the chess team was pining over the prom queen, not thinking about the OK looking girl on the debate team. Bro, I can do this all day. |
Resource provider?? All the couples I know both work, unless she has small children. I earn more than my husband. Am I the resource provider here? |
Thank you. I thought it was a reference to the Matrix. |
It was. The conceit is that, just like in the Matrix, these guys are taking the "red pill" -- bravely seeing the harsh world (and the true nature of women) as it really is rather than believing all of those "blue pill" fantasies. |
Chess team guy was fantasizing about all of them. Guaranteed. |
NP. Not to derail OP's post, in a nutshell, does it have to do with men being either Alphas or Betas? And that Alphas are more "successful" with women (however MGTOW would define it)? I have trouble with such a strict, reductive dichotomy, and I would say men in happy relationships with women are likely often blends of what MGTOW would describe as Alpha and Beta qualities. OP, maybe he looked into and then rejected these beliefs. Or maybe like PP he took some positive ideas and left the negative. I've looked at Female Dating Strategy myself (although I found it way too reductive, cynical, and depressing.) I would ask him about it and, if you feel comfortable enough with him, tell him your concerns. |
No. Red pill guys are mentally unstable and I don’t need that level of drama. |
