[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just like anything, there are varying degrees of what people take out of any ideology.

I am a man who frequents the redpill subreddit.  I found it after a particularly harsh breakup and it opened my eyes into what I was doing wrong with women.  Not having a strong father figure, I learned how to deal with women from romantic comedies, Disney movies, and love songs.  And that's how I did things, which is not how the world works.

Since stumbling upon this, I am more successful with women and just overall happier.  Ignore the extreme edges of the ideology and focus on its core tenants.  Which I won't get into here.[/quote]

OP here. Thank you for chiming in. One of the issues for me is that the ideology paints all women as the same and wanting the same thing. I think that is far from true. By thinking that way you strip a woman of her voice and ability to community her preferences.

For instance, with respect to the guy I’m dating there are two things I’ve notice he does after learning more about red pill mgtow stuff, that the philosophies advocate. I dislike both those things. They definitely don’t make me more attracted to him, they are annoying actually. But I had been tolerating them because there are a lot of other things about his personality I do like.[/quote]

If you’ve been dating for 2.5 months, why not just talk to him about what he actually thinks?  There’s a huge range of opinion that could be characterized as “red pill,” ranging from the crazy and dysfunctional—if he were that, my guess is there would be other signs—to views that are just a bit unorthodox/contrarian, to what is effectively just remedial education for those who don’t find the process of dating particularly intuitive.   Especially if he has treated you reasonably well thus far, I wouldn’t bail just based on an assessment of internet posts that may or may not actually reflect his views.[/quote]

I love this post. Red pill views are abhorrent, absolutely, but there are a few possibilities for why he posted what he did. I would be really curious to talk to him and hear his side. Probably would still break up, but there's a chance there's an interesting story there.[/quote]
