Throughout the month of September, we are taking out old posts, dusting them off and bringing them to you as an RPW refresher course. This week we are covering the broad strokes of RPW and this post in particular is the very backbone of the sub.

We are often asked what makes someone an RP Woman. Ladies come in and want to know if their past, their weight, their politics prevent them from being RPW.

RPW isn't a lifestyle. It doesn't mean being a SAHM who bakes bread while ironing her husband's underwear. It doesn't mean that you can't have a job or that you must have one. And while we recognize the reality of male attraction to beauty, it doesn't mean being a waif in a June Cleaver dress.

If there is such a thing as a real RPW, she is a woman who understands the tenets below and uses them to guide her actions.

The Official Axioms of RPW:

  • The belief that if you want to have a good partner, you have to be a good partner. This means having some understanding of what men want in a partner, and in particular, what your man wants in a partner, and then using that information to become the best version of yourself you can be. For this reason, self-improvement and self-awareness are fundamental components of RPW.

  • Truth is more important than feelings and truth is measured by results.

  • The understanding men and women have different natures and preferences. They have different strengths and weaknesses, and different sexual strategies.

  • The fundamental SMP transaction is, Women are gatekeepers of sex, men are gatekeepers of commitment.

  • The acceptance that we are all flawed. In that umbrella we hold the belief that many red pill terms are largely true about us. AWALT, hypergamy, shit testing, etc. However the meaning of these terms is open for debate.

  • The idea that relationships generally work better if the man is in charge. It is a preferred relationship to both the man and the woman. This is due to the inherent dominant nature of men and submissive nature of women.

  • The ultimate goal for a woman is a long lasting relationship with a man who she loves, respects, and is attracted to.

  • Every woman ultimately bears agency for her outcome and satisfaction with life. One of her most important responsibilities is choosing a man worthy of her trust and devotion.

These are the distinguishing features of RPW that make it “RPW”, rather than any generic relationship subreddit. These features are the broad umbrella for which all posts must fall under, and within these very broad constraints is where we allow disagreement and discussion. The understanding of what these things are will keep discussion on topic and prevent the subreddit from becoming a debate sub to defend basic principles.
