I am a nobody, here. You don't know my real name, I am using a fake email, and a fake IP. I am a stranger, none of you here will ever truly know who I am as a person, and that is okay, I enjoyed my time here with you, you have lifted me up with a surge of dopamine on many a sad day, and it is enough.
This is going to be my last night on this website, and the manosphere as a whole. I have been on The Red Pill journey for the past couple of years (I don't even remember at this point), and now it comes to a conclusion.
As a parting note I will provide my reason as to why I am leaving. I do not intend this to downplay or delegitimize the red pill philosophy - game is game :) , but I believe that I am at a point in my development as a person where I feel that I need more than what the red pill is offering to me and this my reasons why - I am ready to respond for the night, then I will just delete the password for this account and to the abyss it goes.
Narratives, meta narratives, meta meta narratives, self aware, meta self awareness analysis, the rabbit hole of overthinking it goes deep.
I came to this conclusion recently.
All my life I had believed myself to be a type of person who loved to customize his Android, from when I laid hands on my first Android phone (a fake Huawei) I tinkered with the device till no end. I would install lock screens, launchers, root, custom roms, xposed and any tweak I could find online to optimize every subsequent device I would lay my hands on. I did it because I felt that there was always something to adjust with my devices, always a way to customize to suit my specific taste. It was who I was as a person.
But the thing was, if you held one of my 'customized' devices, you would never know it was. I always kept my setup simple, clean and minimalist with tweaks here and there for quick functionality.
A week ago, I bought a new phone as the last one had broke. This was the first premium android phone I have ever bought (its a midranger tbh) it cost me close to double my last phone, and it wasn't bought refurbished - this was fresh from the box.
After using the device for a while now, I realized something, there was nothing I wanted to customize about this device. It did everything I wanted it to do, well. Which made me realize that my entire personality of 'loving customization' was just coping with the shitty card of bad phones I had to deal with. I reflected on it, and I realized every tweak and customization I ever did in my life weren't special, in fact in hindsight it was my younger self demanding what I felt were basic essentials, which at the time were not there in device because the phone I was buying were cheap fake phones.
I still haven't bothered to enable developer mode on this new phone - because I haven't felt the need to. I ask myself had I owned this phone all those years ago, would I have ever bothered to learn what 'developer mode' does in the first place.
As I pondered on this thought, I began to look around me and question things. How much of my life was willful intention, and how much of it was reaction to difficult circumstance.
As I began writing this, a farewell to the red pill community - a community where I have learned much and grown as a person, where I dwelled in the deepest pit of despair and spent many nights pondering ending it, on this very last night I ask myself this question.
If I had had a girlfriend 6 years ago, would I have ever known about this forum. If I had met someone whose values matched my own and whose company I enjoyed would I have ever been here. I reflected deeply on this issue. And no matter how many times I put it, I cannot avoid this. If I had had a girlfriend I was reasonably happy with, I would not have seeked out this forum. I would not have been here. There would have been no pill for me to take if I had been happy.
Why couldn't I have gotten that girlfriend all those years ago I was young, dumb, stupid, cruel, spiteful and refused to ever accept that there was something wrong with me. I would like to think that I was this ugly being incapable of ever being loved, but the reality of my situation was that I refused to look up. There were always those I met who were kind to me, who loved me, who were good to me. But instead I let myself be drawn to the dark and ugly, I succumbed to the Squid Game problem.
In the season finale of squid game, the bad man proposes to the young man a game, he wants to show him that human being really are evil. The bad man points outside the window to a homeless man freezing on the street to death, he tells the young man, lets wait till midnight to see if anyone will bother save him. time passes, as the two watch, they see many people walking past the dying homeless man. The bad man smirks, he tells the young man to realize the evilness of the world. the young man is dejected. but at the 11th hour, a lady who had passed by the old man returns with paramedics, she had not ignored him but had gone to get help.
Maybe the world really is evil and messed up. Maybe women are evil creatures who will hypergamy and walk over you. maybe you will get fucked. But I think I would rather hedge my bet searching for a unicorn than it would constantly being bitter about women.
I think I would rather risk the pain of rejection opening up who I am as a person, expecting the same from the other, and going through the brutal cycles of relationships than whatever the red pill has to offer.
I don't want to be old and have to hide who i am a person, tbh life is beautiful, It is weird and messy and beautiful. Look I can write weird sentence that deviate from the point I am trying to make |:?) a funny face
And it is too damn short for me to be this miserable. So what she's ridden a cock coursel So what if you're the beta buck
The only real questions that ultimately matters is this,
- Are you reasonably attracted to her
- Is she honest with you, can you communicate clearly with her
- Do you trust her, with your darkest fears
- Does she make you happy
- Do you see a future with her
If any woman you meet in this broken down life meets all four of this, what more do you really want from life.
Like really? You searched all the lands of human mediocrity and you couldn't find one that met the match.

Really G?
Ultimately does it fucking matter that the old man was right in Squid game, I am at a point in my life where I don't think it really did, who cares if you were bitterly rejected time and time again, those people were never going to save you. All that really matters is that one person that rescued him. Nothing else
Obligatory Scene:
Every day of existence is a gift. I am not going to spend it bitterly obsessing over a hypergamous girl.
I want a girlfriend. I want to cuddle and be as bluepilled with her as possibly as I can be. And I feel okay admitting that. And I reasonably believe I can get that without this community. I love life.
Every moment is a gift

Up to you how you use TRP and by extension the community attached to it.
As addressed in one of my stickied posts, TRP has a lot of misinterpreted and misconstrued principles.
It's not a woman-bitter site. A lot of men see the light and are justifiably angry at how they've been treated by women before.
You have a point. If you had found a girlfriend and were happy, I doubt you would have found us. At the same time, what about if you had found one and she left you, cheated on you, lied to you, sex-dripped you, etc. You'd be right here on this forum justifiably angry.
The fallacy you're entertaining is that had you found what you wanted you'd get to keep what you had. Maybe you would have. Maybe you would not have.
TRP is a toolkit. A lot of people use it to express the rightful anger of a society that has mislead them into a belief system that specifically makes it difficult to achieve things like finding a girlfriend because of the sheer mis-guidance of helping men understand the world.
TRP is not for everyone. You have to look past the users who are still in anger phases or have to express period vents about the world shitting on them.
Obviously this is not supposed to be a pitch to keep you on the platform. But rather, I implore you to remember what you learned in your two years of TRP awareness for when that perfect phone that you find that does everything you ever wanted stops working on you out of nowhere despite doing everything "the right way" and there is no way to developer mode it. Remember what you have learned here when that happens.
At some point your ideals will clash with reality.
Is TRP correct when read literally, as many newbies make the mistake of doing? Hell no. TRP has a nuanced interpretation, with exceptions, circumstantial contexts, unforseen scenarios, random variance.
TRP (I did not found it) I suspect was written to the point and "literally" because it was a short-handed format that was suppose to be inferenced to nuance it applied to. I don't believe TRP was ever intended to be a sperg-fest of literal, copy and paste interpretation in all scenarios such as every girl is gonna immediately go AWALT and lie to you the second she meets a Chad at the club.
I do want to leave my final thought thanking you for whatever contribution you may have made to community (I have no idea what your previous posts/comments are if any).
Thank you for at least giving TRP a shot at being something you absorb. It's one more man out there that has some semblance of an idea of how the world works.
Don't be afraid to challenge the views you read on an anonymous forum, but at the same time I implore you to not forget that this world is full of misleading feel-good platitudes that have also misguided men and will continue to do so long after you leave here.
Find a balance that suits your personal goals, moral compass and belief systems that make you satisfied and content in your experience on this earth.
Thank you for your candid post. Farewell, I wish you well on your endeavors.

I hope you plug your own ending to this poem

Absolutely man. The red pill jaded men as much as it enlightens them.
I'm glad you have appreciated my writings. I give my authentic self in them no matter how bad it makes me look. I'm not here to impress anyone so those are my honest expressions. Glad they gave you value

Best post ever. If you can walk away from this you can walk away from anything. You'll never truly become a man until you can accept the truth. This is a support group. We're keeping men from eating bullets. Enjoy your life while it lasts and maybe save a life along the way. Rollo started all this because of male suicide. The best outcome is to see men leave and never come back. It means it worked and you're off living a good life you enjoy. That's rule zero of red pill. We're always here if you come back but please don't come back, that means we fucked up.

I just watched a movie called "Don't Worry Darling" and in it, the whole thrust of it was women who rebel against a paradise where they love their husbands and care for them.
That is what you're fighting, and whether you like it or not, that is the battle to be had.
You can leave, you can say whatever words you want -- but in the end, ignoring how women maneuver these things will not end well.
I used to be a guy that just "went along" and did what I thought pleased others. And it didn't work out well, and I'm glad I woke up, finally. Sure, you want a girl who has your back, who gives a shit -- we all do.
But you also have to acknowledge the field that you are playing in. And it isn't full of daisies and a picturesque blue sky with fluffy clouds. We're in a phase of society that denigrates men, makes regular men/women roles some kind of crime, and it is categorically insane.
When its all said and done, you don't want to quit this -- you just want to quit the current reality -- and I don't blame you, but it isn't realistic in the slightest.
Good luck.

We have this saying. You can leave your village but vilage wont live you.
Altho whytehorse2021 has a good point too.
Its good to leave space and find own.way. One cant fully unlearn what has been learnt anyway.
GimmeTheUsual 2y ago
Trying to "leave" is like saying - "You know, I learned about gravity in physics class but dang it - I'm tired of all that."
There is no 'leaving' the truth, you just take a part of it with you. Much like trying to run from personal problems, they follow you no matter where you go.
So I wish him good luck, but I don't think he's 'leaving' anything.
Durek_The_Bald 2y ago
You'll get exposed to a lot of bitterness, negativity, and pessimism in the redpillosphere, no doubt about that. That's because guys are in various stages of unplugging, with varying amounts of success. Some never get past it. It is what it is. Seeing the pitfalls is part of it, but so is seeing the opportunities.
'Hypergamy' is a perfect example of a concept that is both a pitfall, and an opportunity. You can spin it both ways, as a negative or a positive. And whichever way you spin it has more to do with your own mental state, than any objective truth. You always have a choice of which angle you take. In my life, I choose to see hypergamy as a positive. Hypergamy keeps me sharp, and it's part of the reason I have a good marriage (so far).
If a man operates from the notion that women are "evil" and "bad", then of course he'd want to set out on a hopeless search for a "unicorn". That is the natural solution within that script. But if a man operates from the notion that women are just women, and that he has agency in shaping what his relationships to women are going to look like, then AWALT is perfectly fine, and there's no need for unicorns.
As for people being inherently "bad", that's a mind disease that goes way beyond TRP. It's no wonder people take that attitude, because that's what we're being bombarded with from all angles. On one side, you've got religion telling you you're inherently sinful, and must repent for what you are. On the other side, you have scientism and thought-fashion telling you you're like a virus on the planet, and that the world would be better of without you. Either way, it's expected of you to have a negative view on human beings (and by extension, yourself).
It's all a bunch of horseshit, posturing and fashion, though. Obviously, human beings are inherently more good than bad. If a biologist observed humans by the same criteria we observe other species, you'd say we're peaceful, non-violent, somewhat altruistic creatures. Most of the stuff most people do during a random week will be ethically/morally neutral, with a bit more "good" than "bad" sprinkled in. And when people do evil shit, we remember and talk about it for centuries after, because it shocks our shared experience to the core. So clearly, we are pretty "good" - we have a clear and obvious bias in favour of "goodness" (however you'd define that).
I get why you want to leave the space. If you feel you need that, it's probably a good thing. Personally though, I think a part of the red pill journey is to break through all that negativity and pessimism - not by running away from it, but by having frame. I'd say maintaining a positive outlook whilst in the space is a good exercise in frame.
Also, I'd like to add, this place in particular, this forum + TRP.RED, isn't particularly pessimistic compared to a lot of other platforms. The quality is pretty good here, and increasingly getting better with time.
Not trying to convince you to stay though. Sometimes you have to walk away from something to put your own spin on it, and to fit the pieces of the entire puzzle of what you are. I just want to be really clear about the difference between the red pill and the black pill.
Lone_Ranger 3 2y ago
thanks for your post - its good to see a proper variety of opinions, to prevent this becoming like an echo chamber, like reddit. In fact, we should have a channel which is just for TRP criticism.
There's lots of things that I agree with you on. For example (you didn't mention it), the central hypocrisy of TRP = women are trash because they have been ran through, lets learn game so we can run through lots of sluts. It just doesn't make any sense. And nobody seems to want to talk about that.
Also - the very accusation that women are 'hypergamous' makes no sense. Everyone wants the best they can get for themselves, regardless of others needs. The very same dude that is whining about women being 'hypergamous' will then (in the same post) display that very same tendency by saying that he rejected some ordinary looking chick to go after a 'hot looking baddie'. Men want to get the best that they can, just as women do.
A third point I would like to put forward (this one is controversial) ...there is no such thing as 'evil'. Stop trying to characterise women as evil, or anyone for that matter. People are selfish, stupid, vain, narcissistic. But evil doesn't exist. If you keep believing in the concept of evil, you will never be able to understand the motivations of other people. You'll never be able to gauge pathological selfishness or sadism, because you will write it off as 'evil'. People who don't understand this principle, will never understand how the situation is key to determining behaviour. Most people will never let to of the concept of evil. I know these people. They will instantly respond 'but what about Hitler? are you saying he's not evil?" No, he was mentally ill, a drug addicted loser. And the 'situation' was very important - there were millions of germans that had lost their jobs and they were afraid. they lived in a time of waring cultural identities. Goebells himself said 'When the people are afraid, you can do anything'. A fearful population with a mentally ill leader...lots can happen. But I digress.
BUT.....
There is still a lot of value to TRP. So long as you dont' draw the conclusion that its best to 'lay down and rot'.
Guerillaman 2y ago
I.don't remember what others were saying but this has started long time ago and resulted in societal death by 1000 concessions. Men.are at the core for allowing it. Nevertheless not all men.
Learning game and going trough a lot of sluts just proves the point that any natural would do the same with other man's wife: before, during and after one marry the unicorn. There is no.escape from that, what naturraly skilled man.can do other can learn and be aware of. way out is to have 100% men without any game, money and wearing men—burka or most women being reliable :-)
This is only illusionary contradiction. I could speculate what would happen if 0 (zero) awarness would exist: cucking would be > 90%, parental testing non existent, 90%+ men no sex except emergency when natural is too busy doing 5-some impregnating 3 of them during one session (genral assumption is naturals would only get 1.woman at a time well no, there is no game equaliser so they get as many sluts as they physically can - we're still.on.a.way to there).
For kicks (sex). Once men.grows.up with experience, he knows this one was for the streets anyway.
Lone_Ranger 3 2y ago
Hi G-man, the central paradox of TRP is that most guys here are moaning about women being 'used up sluts' because they have been 'ran through'... and then pivot straight away to 'how do I develop game so that I can smash more sluts in the club'. It really doesn't make much sense at all.
Guerillawoman 2y ago
Same G man
Vicious circle. RP Men complain but would fuck anyway - yet 'they' are not in position to break it.
All we can do at the moment is to fuck and complain as coping strategy.
Second best we can raise daughters to fix it (est time to see changes 999y), 3rd best be politically cunning active lying son of the bitch to push agenda (cant see it coming if we have to hide behind VPN etc. 4th, wait...
