I have a roommate who I can tell is traditionally very blue pill. He's smart (en route to a PhD/MD), physically fit (lifter for two years) and tall, but many of his mannerisms are beta/feminine (he's Asian and was raised by strict parents).
He has a girlfriend he seems to like (though at his future wealth and current attractiveness level, he could do far, far better), and while he hasn't asked me specifically for advice, I can definitely tell his curiosity is piqued because of all the girls I have come into the house (especially now that I convinced a rando tinder girl I've never even met to cook us all dinner).
Is there a way to gradually direct him to more redpill ways? I was thinking maybe mentioning "Married Man Sex Life" would be good. I'm worried it could destroy his current relationship too, because he'd still be so new to it.

The best thing you can do is live a Red Pill life and show him how happy you are. You can show a man the door but he must choose to walk through it

I was going to say the same thing, lead by example and use truths to describe situations.

Would the Rational Male book be too much Red Pill for him? MMSL is easy for people to dismiss if they aren't in a marriage with sex problems.

By example and make sure he understands there isn't a firm set of rules, just guidelines that he will have to use common sense to apply to his personal situation. After that, send him here and he will sink or swim of his own accord

You need to slowly introduce the concepts but in easy to read mainstream articles so he doesn't immediately dismiss it.
Wait until there's a situation in his life where a red-pill concept might apply, and then tell him that you read an article that he might find interesting, and link him to one of the "less extreme" rational male articles or even better if you can find a mainstream news outlet which has a red-pill-esque article (they do exist, usually right before the author gets fired for writing such a "misogynist" article).
Slowly.
Also,
That's on him. It's his choice to use the concepts to destroy or strengthen his current relationship. He has agency. You should feel no guilt regarding that. People make their own decisions. You aren't forcing him to "destroy his current relationship".

Well I was going to leave him entirely plugged in, until he started expressing interest.
Our other roommate (call him B) is very against the idea of, for example, me having women come over and cook for us. But this roommate (call him A) seems amused/interested in the idea. He also seemed shocked (and seemed to feel I was credible) about the idea that all girls have a back-up guy waiting in the wings. His girlfriend lives a couple hundred miles away (they met in undergrad), and I'm sure that's a concern of his.
I'll try bringing it up again and mentioning a relatively MSM article about how all girls have back-up guys.
