A lot of advice here on TRP is to withdraw time and attention from girls who misbehave or disrespect. Its behind the core concept of soft next, hard next, etc.
I have noticed when reading femaledating strategy, or other bluepill subs like 'relationships' 'dating_advice' etc on reddit, they always consider the silent treatment as extreme 10/10 disrespect to them. They hold it in the same light of pathological narcissism, sociopathic behavior (which are terms used to shame men, usually in feminist circles).
"My husband ignores my text after I did this XXX" and all the comments calling him immature and saying shes dating a 15 year old in a 30 year old's body or whatever. Its always that common theme.
I use the silent treatment at times when warranted, but sometimes this is always in the back of my mind that im going about it the wrong way. But i realize that women are notoriously known to give out misinformation because theyre women and cant admit the truth.
So is the "silent treatment" actually immature? Is it a proper tool for misbehavior.? As Ive said ive had it work in the past, but sometimes in the rare occasion it doesnt and i feel i came off as childish, but maybe i let the counter-perspective get in my head.
Thoughts?

Well if you want a real life example then my LTR of 3 yrs broke up with me because i used dread on her. Soft nexted her a few times. Gave her comfort but also kept her on edge. It blew up on my face. She said we aren't compatible and she thinks I was passive aggressive.
Lol same thing was said by another chick. I am really not. I just remove attention and delay replies when she acts out

Solipsism rears it's ugly head once again. When women use the silent treatment, it's a manipulative tactic. Therefore, since everyone thinks like women, men must be using silent treatment to manipulate women. How DARE you try to evade hypergamy by manipulating women!!!

What's the way forward then? RP is leading to plates breaking and breakups. Women think we are passive aggressive

The way forward is to tell them "Don't hate the player, hate the game". Women created this unregulated sexual marketplace. Women created plate theory(dating). Women control the financial and political systems that allow this.
Some guys choose not to play the game and go their own way. Some, like myself, play a different game by getting women from better societies. I don't think the hardcore red pill guys like Rollo fully understand the long-term implications of RP. I mean, how could they? Perhaps women will double down and create a bachelor tax. Maybe they'll pass laws that force Chads to sleep with fatties. You never know.

People looooove to throw out the "narcissist" card.
I think when a benign behavior / statement triggers someone so hard, you're onto something.
I used this on my ex-wife when she was acting up and is drove her insane.
Withdrawing attention (positive or negative) is a remarkably powerful tool men have.

They hate anything they can't control. But as with women, they actually are attracted to those types of behavior (not passive aggressiveness but the ability to walk away)

that's because they hate it.
no, it's 100% the best and most effective way to punish a woman.
men have tried rational discussion and women just beat us down with emotion.
this is the equaliser.
YES

Watch what they do, not what they say.
If they complain about getting the silent treatment, it's because the men they like to fuck are using it on them.
And they continue to choose those men to fuck.

“I was trying to have a civil discussion about our disagreement. You were rude to me and called me names. I asked you politely to apologize and not to call me names. Instead of apologizing you mocked me and called me names again. So now I’m going bounce and do my own thing for a few days, or weeks. Hang with my friends, hit the gym, work on some hobby. I won’t be responding to your texts for some number of days, because I prefer doing those enjoyable things over interacting with someone who is being rude and spitting overt insults at me. This shouldn’t really be surprising to you, and it doesn’t make me a narcissist. I’ll hit you up again when I’m in the mood, or maybe never. If you’re fortunate enough to get my attention again you should cut out this bad behavior immediately, because the result will always be that I instantly cut you off, and it will only take 1-2 more cycles of this before I just permablock you so I can get on with the more enjoyable parts of life. Make yourself an enjoyable part of my life or you don’t get my attention, sorry.”

Attention is currency for women. Think of it that way and you'll understand that it is something they trade. They don't trade it with everyone. They don't want to give it to or get it from everyone, unless perhaps you are willing to just leave it on their doorstep.
