Been about four or five months since I last read any Redpill content, and About 10 months since I posted anything Redpill related, and I’m happy to report that my game has returned to a level where I have supreme confidence every time I go on a date, enter a club or talk to a woman. Not what most people here say, right? So often I read accounts of people who gave up their Red Pill journey and returned to their comfortable Blue Pilled ways, only to get walked all over by a woman who was previously begging for their cock, challenged by men who previously paid them the utmost respect, and insulted by randomers who sense weakness in their demeanour.

I admit, these accounts scared me, and I was extremely hesitant to stop studying the RedPill lest I become a blue balled, beta pussy. But at the same time, I looked at my track record since adopting the Red Pill, and I noticed that it was extremely poor compared to the results I had gotten in all the single years I had previous. “But this can’t be” I thought, “the Redpill is supposed to improve everything about your game and give you an advantage over the average guy, what am I doing wrong?”. So after I had a series of embarrassing failures with women, where I essentially had them eating out of my hand only to say something profoundly stupid (usually in response to a perceived ‘shit test’) and ruin any chance I had with them in mere seconds, I decided to take a break from the Redpill. I chilled the fuck out on the overthinking prompted by the Redpills examination of the social interaction between genders, stopped reading all Redpill readings and just did the things that matter. Focused on college work, made going to the gym five days a week with my mates a priority and just started going out on nights out without an agenda to pull women. After four or five months of this, I found that I was no longer turning to Redpill teachings to augment my every action with women, and my game had returned to the way it was when I started, although it was admittedly better as I had matured overall as a person in the time I was doing Redpill stuff.

I was no longer a complete fucking asshole, insulting women when I could, or brushing them off to make them work harder or qualify themselves. Instead I was walking around happy, sometimes acting cheeky towards them and offering minor challenges, but nothing that couldn’t be construed as just a bit of fun. The hostility was gone, the insecurity and pressure of acting like an alpha was gone, and (particularly on dates) my words just flowed and seemed to hit their mark more often than not. I had unintentionally built up a roster of women who want to date me, but understand that I’m not available right now because my Final Year in College was keeping me busy. But nonetheless, the harem I so desperately sought in my hardcore Redpill regurgitation days, was now developing organically, with all of them available to hit up whenever I felt like it.

To anyone who read the title and assumed I was a Redpill hater, I want you to know that that isn’t the case. In fact, I do believe there is a lot of good to be learned from the Redpill, going to the gym religiously, not being too sympathetic to women, not allowing them to be the focus of your success but rather the byproduct, recognition of the power you hold as a man and how to embrace your masculinity without becoming a toxic hostile cunt, looksmaxxing etc.

However, there is a lot of room for misinterpretation in the words we read here. Many believe everything they read here to be fact, and that goes for both the Big dogs like Rollo and Vasily to any random Reddit comment who’s author may or may not have any fucking clue what they’re talking about. This can lead you to begin reconstructing the way you think in the wrong way, and if your foundation is off, everything is off. In my case, I wasn’t exactly struggling with women before the Redpill, I’m was considered good looking by others and I spoke well even if I was a bit of a nice guy at times whose backbone disappeared when challenged. So I turned to the Redpill to improve my game, thinking it would bring me to the next level. But as is so often the case, I went from one extreme to the other, and when I thought I was Redpilled, what I actually was was an aggressive, overly sensitive, condescending douchebag who overthought every single interaction. So a break melted away a lot of that hostility and the really important stuff I learned from the Redpill remained.

I can now say that I am at my peak in basically every regard, I am just fucking loving life at the moment. Not just with women or work, but everything. And the Redpill played a key part in the journey. While I will probably never be the kind of guy who frantically digests every bit of Redpill knowledge I come across (because for me, that just wasn’t working), I will no doubt pop in to remind myself of certain things every now and again.

Thank you whoever reads this, and apologies for the wall of text.
