Have you ever thought that the "juice isn't work the squeeze" and been tempted to go black pill? Believe it or not I have had phases in my life where I had loads of dates / options and it was cool but part of me thinks that I don't care enough to set that up again.
Maybe its just tiredness or depression talking I don't know but sometimes I think I just don't give enough of a fuck. All this "she isnt yours its just your turn" and "never ever get married" stuff makes me wonder why I bother at all.

FYI black pill drivel is not going to be tolerated here so keep it to this at a maximum
That being said, just because marriage is a bad deal for men and most women will keep trying to find new guys after a while doesn't mean you can't be happy on your own and love women for who they are, not what they can never be
Stop acting like a doom scroller and enjoy your life. What is with this over-invested attitude. Does your life revolve around women?

Thanks for your reply What do you mean by stop acting like a doomscroller? What do doomscrollers do?
Why do you think most women try to find new guys? Because of hypergamy right?

Black pill is not just giving up, the giving up part is just the conclusion a lot of guys make when they are unwilling to improve themselves. It’s about accepting that some things are unfair in the world, and cannot be changed.
Things that are black pill: accepting women prefer tall guys and you can’t change your height, accepting that having no experience in your teens or 20s with girls will make it harder, etc.
The things above can’t be changed if you are that tall, or if you didn’t get any action in your 20s, but that doesn’t stop you from improving (game, gym, meeting women in your 30s, etc).

No, blackpill is taking that info and deciding that it's hopeless.
Red Pill acknowledges those obstacles, but knows you can mitigate them in other ways.

"The juice isn't worth the squeeze" is a MGTOW maxim. The blackpill version of it would be more like:

If you're tired and burnt out, take a break. Why do something you derive no benefit from?

I think most of my life has been doing things I get no or little benefit from

Sounds like a terrible way to live bro. Maybe stop that?
Typo-MAGAshiv Endorsed Contributor 16h ago
Then why are you doing them?
What do you actually want out of life?
randomguy7766 14h ago
I dont know always chasing a fix or solution I guess.

If you want to quit go for it. Nothing wrong with being voluntarily celibate. It's not for me .
The question I really would ask is why do you want to associate with toxic losers? That to me is a bad idea.

This is perhaps a very simplistic way to look at things but to me black pill is just red pill without hope. Everything looks black in the darkness of depression and hopelessness.
So she is not yours its your turn, so marriage is a bad bet, so that is a pain but its not the end of the world. Saying that Its like saying "Winter comes along and kills all the tomato plants I grow. I will never eat tomatoes again now I know they die on you when you have done nothing wrong". You won't get any help being upset about the turning of the seasons. Do you like tomatoes? then grow some, buy some, beg some borrow some steal some but don't get depressed that tomato plants are frost tender or give up on cooking with them. Similarly don't give up on enjoying women just because you know that they are not all faithful and kind, honest and able to see past surface impressions of value. Not everything is ideal.
There is always a resource cost to getting female attention. It may not be worth it in many cases. That's OK though because if you wanted it enough, you would just do those things. Only a depressed man would not. If you are genuinely depressed, try to fix that rather than worrying about the black pill.

One thing that drives men towards hopelessness in the game of women is seeing little to no positive result after what is, at least self-perceived as, a significant amount of time or effort spent, whether on one specific woman or women in general.
For men, directly or not, acquiring women (1 or more) is probably the single largest life/money/time/energy expense they will pay.
After being able to fund their own base lifestyle, men try to earn more to get more/better women or to raise a family (women again). Most men, even if they don’t admit it, even if on this post they won’t admit it, go to the gym and eat healthy to improve their odds with women. Men obviously learn game to get with women. Heck, men addicted to pornography quit it because they would rather have real sex with real women. I myself am in the process of learning how to dance, at least in part, to get more/better women.
So if a man tries to improve in some or all of these things, and still sees little or no improvement in results after months or even years, it’s no surprise they want to give up. For almost any other skill/attribute, you expect to see an improvement after a year of effort (new sport, starting a business, developing a social network).
Coupled with how most families made in the US are expected to end up divorced and broken, and even “success” (getting a wife and kids) sounds like a poor result. It’s essentially “the juice ain’t worth the squeeze” but on a meta level, rather than on one specific woman.
Imagine you are a total loser today, and after 3 years of red pill self improvement, you will only be able to pull a 3/10 or worse, and she still wouldn’t respect you because you are 5’8”. If you thought that was your ultimate fate after those 3 years, it might really be better to resigning yourself to just masturbating all day. (I’m not trying to assert this stuff with the 3/10 is actually correct, just the mindset that is becoming more common today.)
Without spending all this time on red pill self improvement and all that, a single man doesn’t need a whole lot to survive decently. Small apartment to rent, PC, a hobby or 2, and a few male friends in a similar boat. And in terms of effort this is obviously much easier than the full gym-game-money-diet-date-rejection grind. You have to really enjoy at least part of that grind for the self improvement loop to be sustainable.
This is the real danger of having shittier women/family outcomes to society at a meta level. If all men collectively became hopeless black pill, there would be no more excess effort, excess production to sustain and grow society. No businesses would be started, we would all be fat pigs eating pizza on a couch, who never go outside and talk to people.
I personally think such a pointless, lazy existence is greater torture than the grind. And I believe many men, including many here, agree. But I hope you can see where the black pill doomer mentality comes from.
I’m also very interested in seeing how the invention of AI girlfriends/sexbots changes society.
As a similar example, we had a “body positivity” movement started essentially as a cope for people (women mostly lol) who know they are unhealthy and unattractive. Body positivity was an excuse for these people to not work out or diet and absolve themselves of responsibility for their issues. But the moment this Ozempic stuff comes out, it’s all the height and the “body positive” people are out here taking it in droves.
AI girlfriends could end fruitless “juice squeezing” for lower SMV men entirely. But then their contributions to society might also disappear…

"Black pill" is pretty much the denial stage of RP. Up to you to make it or break.
Frame things in a way that benefits you.
Dont: "girls just want a tall guy with abs"
Do: "I dont hit my head off the top of doors. Life's good."
You dont need women or their opinions to be the focal point of your satisfaction in life. That's draining. You'll never be happy.
Confidence trumps all.
