I have spent a lot of time on Reddit, and I spend a lot of time reading relationship-related subreddits.
This sub is the only one I see where women seem generally happier. It doesn't mean I see perfection - by no means!
But, it just seems different.
I think we are right at this sub. We are women who want to improve ourselves and do what is best for our men. In return, our men try to honor us.
Just a random thought, since the redpill concept, and the women at this sub, get attacked a lot.
PS: I love my husband and marriage, and he loves me and respects and honors me. I follow basic redpill tenets (I am Christian btw...so it kind of fits).

There are many posts about people's relationship problems on this sub, all you have to do is scroll half way down the page, it's just that this sub isn't exclusively an advice sub or a place to vent, it's a hobby/lifestyle sub as well. People go to r/relationships only when they have a problem.
ohtobebeautiful 4y ago
Because y'all aren't dumb. You don't go for men who have nothing to offer. Of course you are happier, ladies! You have the intelligence to SELECT a male who's not a pain in the ass to put up with in the first place.

There must be something to it. Me and some of my friends who are traditional women are happily married to responsible and good men. Why some other friends who are into feminism are single and bitter about men. They always told me to be independent and to be power women. One friend had a mental breakdown recently where she screamed and hitting around because another guy dumped her again after sex. She said she is damaged for life because men using her. The next day she drove 300km to him even she got dumped (no joke). Another one break down sobbing that no man is helping her with her life. Geez aren’t you the one who told me to be strong independent women who needs no man ? I think deep down they do but won’t admit because our society shuns women who do. I don’t pretend to be someone I am not and I embrace my femininity but sometime i have doubts too

Selection bias........

You're jealous cuz your relationship probably sucks (or you don't have one)
LateralThinker13 4y ago
When you act in a way that embraces delusion and lies over reality; when you willfully embrace what you want instead of what is, the cognitive dissonance will drive you insane over time. You can reconcile that dissonance by changing yourself, or by deflecting, or by attacking the truth.
Sadly, most people attack or deflect. Here at RPW, we try to embrace the truth and work with it, even when it is often uncomfortable and unpopular. On the flip side, being at peace with nature and reality, it is very relaxing to explore here. There are no delusions; no land mines where you have to worry what persons' imbecility you may trip over. (Trigger warnings. Pronouns. Etc.)
There is only what is feminine, what men want, and how to make a healthy LTR. It isn't complicated, and it DOES work. That's why they hate us. The mentally self-destructive often hate the peaceful sane.
happylumi 4y ago
Yep i really don’t understand why they see it as wrong? I have looked thru r/redpill and i have not seen nothing wrong there either.
LateralThinker13 4y ago
Feminists are angry, bitter, and often ugly for a reason.
Rejecting truth, biology and reality unmoor you from what is good and necessary for living.
Vidhik2906 4y ago
It might sound wrong to many but RPW are actually the happiest women I find around me unless someone brainwashes them to go against their natural desire of having a family. What could go wrong with a comfortable life where you are loved by your partner and your children, you don't have to do the heavy lifting unless of course when it is needed, also you have ample of time for your hobbies and don't have to deal with the brutal world out there.
adriamarievigg 4y ago
Absolutely... now, where can I find a Red Pill Man?
missylizzy 4y ago
Good question! Tell me about yourself
adriamarievigg 4y ago
Im 47F. Libertarian who leans right. I was raised Born Again, but consider myself Spiritual not Religious. Although I still hold the fundamental moral beliefs of a Christian
Widowed for (2) years after 15 years of Marriage. Trying to date in this new tech age and Im hating it. I recently stop doing the online thing because I kept coming across Liars, Cheats, and guys only looking for FWB. It made me doubt my values and self worth. I have now developed trust issues. I love Men and don’t want to think that all the good ones are either Married or Gay, but then again do Captains ever get divorced?
Just recently found this Sub and Im so glad that there are more Woman out there like me.
[deleted] 4y ago
Of course good men get divorced because life is complicated and people change and good men could marry bad women. I love all these different redpill subreddits because everyone acts like they are so "woke" or whatever but actually have some of the most closed minded views of anyone I encounter. Life gets better when you let go of all these unrealistic expectations of people.

So true. I have been so much happier in my marriage since I surrounded myself with other traditional women who honour their husband's. So many women groups are full of wives talking badly about their husband's and eventually it just feels normal to not respect your husband anymore.
ejvee 4y ago
Agree! I respect my partner and allow him the space to fix problems without constantly berating him. I trust that he will find a solution in his own time. I also try honour his masculinity by standing back and allow him to ‘do the doing’. I honour my own femininity by supporting and holding him. I think red pill women understand this dynamic which gives men the space and freedom to step up.
bymackensey 4y ago
So many women take control of everything, and then put their husband's down because they don't help. Husbands are constantly compared to children and belittled, so of course they begin acting that way. In my experience men become much better leaders, protectors and providers when they are given the space and responsibility to do so, without constant criticism. I'm so lucky I found this little community on reddit, it has improved so many aspects of my life and marriage.
Darth_Venath 4y ago
This is something that should be shared more often.
clitorophagy 4y ago
This sub is explicitly not for complaining and it is for taking personal responsibility. Unhappy women are not welcome to mope around and blame others for their problems here.
missylizzy 4y ago
Good point!
clitorophagy 4y ago
that kind of thing is such a drag. I’m not here to rubberneck at dumpster fires

RP_Bear9 4y ago
What a relevant and insight comment you make about how valuable this sub is! So good to hear the positive comments about men, in light of all the negativity out there. When we place responsibility with ourselves to have great relationships and a great life, we find the key to real fulfillment on big picture level. Thanks for all the wonderful comments here!
missylizzy 4y ago
When I started seeing my own problems I improved myself. Then I found a man who truly valued me!
So many women buy into this modern propaganda that men are evil.
It simply isn't true.
There are bad men, yes, but most women won't give good men a chance.
SamathaStevens 4y ago
I agree ,I definitely see a more well rounded perspective on this sub than others. Generally even when people complain is it less biased and they admit their part of the problem. On the other relationship subs it seems to be so one sided. It is always he is so mean to me,while not mentioning that they cause 50% of the problems and aren't interested in improving themselves. Then of course everyone says leave him because what else can you say , which is followed by but I love him and will never leave. It just goes on and on like this.
Almost never is something entirely one sided unless there is some sort of hallucinations or mental illness, it takes two people. With the exception of abuse (no matter how you act abuse is never ok) ,the only person you can change is yourself. I think red pill people are more open to the idea that there is more involved in a relationship than the message of men= bad women = victim. In the other subs if you suggest that maybe they could steps to improve themselves or offer graciousness to their husband's even if it is undeserved,you are torn apart and down voted for victim blaming.
There is this idea that men are wrong for having preferences about how they like women to look. That having expectations for how things are done at home while they are working to afford the home is somehow toxic. Yet women are allowed to have very strict standards of how men should look and they have no issues telling men how and when to do their jobs.
I love my husband so much ,he is such an amazing friend after almost 30 years (we were married young). He isn't perfect and makes mistakes and I do too. That is why we are such a good team , we are both really good at giving the other person lots of opportunities to forgive!
For me red pill has made me feel empowered, when things go wrong I can step back and evaluate the situation to see how I can make a positive change and move forward.
missylizzy 4y ago
Great comment! Sums up what I wanted to say but didn't really have enough energy!
bchlladyfrog 4y ago
You also have to take into account that the rules here about posting and commenting are very strict. It's not a space where you can really speak your mind freely, or even truly doubt and discuss red pill tenets. So some of these women seeming generally happier might be actually faking it, with all due respect. Just as there are women faking being happy on other relationship forums.
I personally have done the biggest mistake in my life by following red pill concepts. I ended up being manipulated and traumatized by a narcissist just because I fell in love and decided to surrender to him, as red pill women says. I highly doubt the mods will even let this comment exist here since it threatens the order or who knows what.
missylizzy 4y ago
I feel the rules aren't strict here at all compared to other subs.
bchlladyfrog 4y ago
Yeah as long as you are nice and make sure not to rock the boat too much, it feels like the rules aren't strict. If one supplicates a lot then it is safe but there is no real discourse. I posted a genuine question once and it got deleted with the reason that it was hateful towards men. I didn't intend it that way and no one even tried to explain to me why they thought it was hateful.
NoCardiologist8249 4y ago
Here’s a point worth mentioning. Red pill women do more of what men want than other women. And if a relationship is what will make you happy, then it becomes easier to obtain the more you cater to the people you want to be with.
Freja_Walther 4y ago
I agree, but I can't help but notice that rp women are kind of different from at least a group of rp men.
Some rp men only focus on having sex with as many women as they can, which I think is wrong for both men and women. One of the reasons people are so unhappy is that they are damaging their ideas and feelings towards their body and intimacy, which is important for making stable and happy relationships.
missylizzy 4y ago
I agree. I think redpillmen focus way too much on sex.

sn0wflaker 4y ago
I often see a lot of posts there written by women in situations where they are being disrespected by their partner, or where boundaries are vague in their relationships. One misconception about the redpill philosophy is that women here are subservient or doormats. I follow this sub because I carry myself in a way that demands respect, but also have humility toward my partner and I think that attitude could rub off on some of the relationship-related subreddits. A lot of women there are looking for someone else to answer their questions regarding how to be treated or when to call it quits, and I don’t think they are being fair to themselves.
missylizzy 4y ago
Agreed! Another thing I noticed is the women are really nice to each other here. Very rare!
golden_eyed_cat 4y ago
In my opinion, it isn’t hard to find nice people at all, even on subreddits that some people here might deem toxic! If we are kind, considerate and polite, we'll usually attract the same behaviour, which will in turn make it easier for us to spread positive energy.
missylizzy 4y ago
Good point! I struggle with being polite on Reddit lol
[deleted] 4y ago
I first noticed that the other subs about women's issues and relationships are heavily negative places who focus on complaining and entitlement. This is the only sub that is solution oriented and it is such a breath of fresh air! And I am an atheist/agnostic who has been raised by a progressive family!
yclaws 4y ago
And a lot of solutions boil down to improving your own self and taking accountability for your own circumstances, which a lot of people are allergic to
[deleted] 4y ago
Yup, this sub was a slap in my face to how entitled I was
missylizzy 4y ago
Exactly. It is always that the man is toxic. Yet no woman wants to reflect on her own toxicity?
[deleted] 4y ago
This is such a dangerous discourse that made me hate and blame my dad and idolize my mother without actually doing any thinking
savtaytex 4y ago
It’s also one of the only places where we can just celebrate being women and love men without omg you make his food ugh I would never. Just basically a soft place and it’s wonderful we have this space
rererebecca 4y ago
Really, though! I'm sick of hearing things from my own friends like "You just haven't trained him good enough," like he's a dog! It's such a common thought among female spaces that men are inept and can't be trusted to do anything. It's incredibly toxic.

I'm a million times happier in my marriage after finding this sub. And so is he.
Eg I used to nag so much which made both of us miserable!
femaleinmythirties 4y ago
People with happy marriages don’t, in mass, go out of their way to post on relationship subreddits.
People who make happy lifestyle choices go out of their way to promote their lifestyle choices, especially if it’s a controversial choice to mainstream.
Red pill seems to work for many and it seems lots of folks here are happy...but I think the Reddit thing itself is a bit of a selection bias.
missylizzy 4y ago
Good point. But still. I really do feel a different vibe here even when women do complain.
beaversinthewashroom 4y ago
I think it’s also because we have a good template of how to discuss relationship problems without putting your SO down :) I’m happy we exist!
RP_Bear9 4y ago
I feel there is much to be learned in that so many out there (other sub-reddits) turn to criticisms of other and and down talking their mates. This is really a distraction from the real solution which is to change your own behavior.
femaleinmythirties 4y ago
Definitely! Red Pill Women gets it right that a relationship is about the behavior between two people and part of getting what you want is behaving so that you get what you want.
RP_Bear9 4y ago
I am contemplating your comment, and find it such a profound statement.
bitter-funny 4y ago
The first 4 years of my relationship my husband and I were very liberal/progressive and we fought consistently. Once we started rejecting all the things that ideology told us and falling into our natural roles we started getting along much better. We never fight anymore and could not be happier! I don’t think it is a coincidence.
missylizzy 4y ago
My husband and I have very conservative marriage ideals and a wonderful marriage!
deadbegonia 4y ago
I've noticed that most people posting in RPW are women who want to be in the same team with their male partner, writing about their challenges as something to improve, fix and find a solution in order to continue with a better and improved relationship.
We write in a way that does not discredit the hard work and good values of our partners, but r/relationships is flooded with hurt people who seek validation, want to feel good about being victims of miscommunication or toxicity. They often pit themselves against their partner and the comments naturally turn into 'team Girlfriend' vs 'team Boyfriend'. That, in its essence, is the reason they have problems in the relationship to begin with. It is not a teamwork.
Jenna_Rink30 4y ago
I feel like this sub helps me be better. I see other posts and comments and it highlights things for me and how my approach is wrong.
For example, I am extremely spoiled by my family in that I never had to lift a finger or do anything. I am so entitled that it’s actually appalling. My SO bends over backwards to accommodate me and I only see the shortcomings. So many Me issues I need to fix before I start looking at the He issues.
He’s not perfect but you know what? The better I am, the better he is.
I feel other subs want perfect men and refuse to acknowledge that we (women) are flawed. It’s super egotistical because it’s like “why should you have to take these steps if he isn’t taking them first?”
I love the man why shouldn’t I take the first step, especially knowing that he follows me as I do? Taking these steps benefits me and the health of my relationship. Yes, he benefits too when I do some extra hard graft, but why not? I love him. I want him to be happy. Plus, I become a better version of myself either way.
I love the inward focus here.
PS I’m atheist / agnostic and my social values are quite liberal in relation to most things, including sexual liberation,
rosesonthefloor 4y ago
I think you would love the book White Feminism by Koa Beck. It really looks at how feminism is a very narrow view of what women can do and how it devalues traditionally “feminine” labor and domestic work the same as men have always done. It was such a good read!
missylizzy 4y ago
I agree with you about feminism today. I feel like women are spending more time talking about pockets in their dresses and pants than real issues!
savtaytex 4y ago
Because we aren’t trying to be anything but ourselves. We are all beautiful and wonderful. We are women. And we aren’t ashamed of that. We embrace who we are. Yes I can be anything. But I want to be a woman. And that means different things to everyone of us. It’s simply just who we are. I love this place. In a world where people are so mad and trying to find who they are, I know who I am. And its awesome.
