What is incel? Are posters just making up words?

I have no idea what the OP is talking about. Are you speaking a foreign language with a bad google translation, OP?

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.

“So, I was poring over your old FB posts and noticed...”

OP here. That is a part of why I’m so confused. He has taken me on very nice and thoughtful pre-planned dates. We have great conversation and physical attraction. But he had multiple posts tagged with these things.

You have nothing to lose at this point, so ask him. His answer will probably help you to make the right choice.

I had to google it. Apparently it’s some online group of men who believe all women are evil and that society is anti-man. It seems there’s overlap between the red pillers and incels. The main belief is that society favors women and that men need to learn to be dominant over women. To me, it sounds like a hate group with women being the targets.

So basically the opposite of the man-haters club that is DCUM. Yeah, you two probably aren’t all that compatible.

Very, very very bad. Unless he's like 20 and they were posts from when he was 15.

I'd ask him about it, curious how he would react.

Or he's trolling for kicks and giggles. But even that would make me concerned....

Too stupid to post in a way that you can't find out it's him. Dump him for that alone.

Maybe he posted that stuff when he was going through a dry spell/ depressive episode/ low self esteem period but never fully bought in. Or he did buy in, but wants you to prove him wrong. Or, as others said, he’s dating you but sees you through a red pill lens. We can’t unscramble him for you, OP, but we can tell you to RUN! Because it doesn’t matter why he posted that crap, the fact that even took it seriously is a total hard-no dealbreaker.

Good job! That’s basically it. True about the incel overlap.

MGTOW (men going their own way) is a subset of red pill. So all MGTOWs are redpillers (essentially), but not all redpillers are MGTOW. Many redpillers believe in having relationships with women (or at least using them for sex).

There’s a documentary on red pill on Amazon prime if you really want a quick intro into how they think. But be warned that it’s totally from the red pill POV.
