+1 yPeople fall for demagogues. They feel the need to follow a cult leader who offers simple solutions (that aren't actually solutions) to their problems in their tiny meaningless lives. One key factor here is that they find scapegoats and put all the blame on them. In the case of misogynistic psychopaths like Tate the scapegoats are obviously women. In the case of other demagogues / cult leaders like Trump, the scapegoats are immigrants, scientists, "liberals", trans people, and many more.
Putting the blame on everybody but yourself is very comforting and confirming. And being part of a "movement" (i. e. a cult, like Tate's scam or Trump's MAGA cult) makes them feel powerful and important and enlightened (a phenomenon that also explains most conspiracy myth followers - these people feel like "the chosen few" who know "the truth").
In reality of course demagogues like Tate and Trump don't give a single flying fuck about their followers. They just use them to enrich themselves. Literally. They drain them for their money. Tate is a literal scam artist using pyramid scheme type of tactics. Trump's countless fundraising scams (in and out of politics) are known to anyone with half a brain by now.
If you want to know why many men fall for Tate's drivel specifically, just take a look around in this very forum, in this very thread alone - read what some of the male users say about his (absolutely insane) views and about women. Pay attention to their paranoid conspriacies of how men are being prosecuted in society. If your beliefs are that level of batshit crazy, it's no wonder demagogues will take advantage of it.00 Reply

Because it's accurate? And because most women nowadays have no regard or respect for men other than resources and protection?
I mean, Andrew Tate is a pure huckster and con artist/scammer, but how exactly are most "red pill" beliefs inaccurate? Cause it's going to take more than shaming men for not licking the female boot to get them to "snap out of" the supposedly "wrong" philosophy that men should worry about their own happiness instead of being subservient to women, corporations, employers, and a society that doesn't appreciate them.
Though I can't tell if I'm Red Pilled or Black Pilled. Maybe Blood Red Pilled and on my way to black. Either way, having self respect is a lot better than being some bitch's footstool, like society brainwashes men into being. Men having self-respect is "So misogynist, though! Like OMG! You don't want to be a paypig on OnlyFans and have women treat you like sh*t daily? INCEL!"

I been mgtow since 2015. So I call myself a mgtow. A man going his own way.
Taking the red pill is essentially what everyone in the ,, manosphere,, has done.
Red pill being a metaphor for waking up to your reality.
I don't know who came up with all the pillz. I think they just describ the different directions men want to take
Blue. Simps
Red. Self improvement
Black. Doomer
Purple. Fence sitter
Then you how save yourself black man SYBM
And male rights activist. MRA
Mgtow is a demonized word in the algorithm you'll get demonatized so f. ing fast. But to me we are all of us men who have chosen to take the rp and go in whatever direction we want our life to take.
That is mgtow. Back in the day those men dreamed one day men would become self aware enough to see the games played on them and determine to live their lives on their own accord. And here it is and it's beautiful.

The red pill is actually separate from Andrew Tate and the kind of thing you're asking about. The Red Pill is a massive compilation of data made from tens of thousands of men around the world about dating, career, etc.; it's not any kind of ideology, just data.
As for the question you're actually asking; young men believe in it because it makes them feel vindicated and powerful.

Been mgtow since 2015. Long before tate was even an idea.
It's not a movement or ideology. It's a philosophy.
It's awareness and coming to terms with the hard truths about women, society and yourself. That is the red pill. Taking the step from indoctrination to self sovereignty. And it's a long painful process. So much so that I look back and wonder if I'd be happier being asleep in the blue pill. Because once you know, you will never unknow. - +1 y

@Part2603 you could definitely go the pay to play route. I personally found a lot of success by figuring out how I can honor the women in my life, setting the terms of my relationships, and learning how to be a man women feel good about following. In my observation, the vast majority of women want to submit to men and will be fine with whatever they are given, as long as they feel appreciated, respected, and find the man emotionally satisfying to be with.

I think you know as well as I do that essentially no man ever gets sex for free. One way or the other we all pay for women to spend time with us to have sex with us to do anything with us at all. I find it paying for sex directly is a much more honest way to go and doesn't involve a lot of manipulation and subterfuge.

There are mgtow who are married, dating or swear off women altogether and go ghost
Like I said its whatever you make it.
Taking the proverbial red pill and Learning male and female nature/psychology, westen society It's veiw of you as a man, coming to terms with the hard truths and deciding what your life is to be now.
That is a man going his own way. MGTOW He's now making informed decisions on how he lives his life.
Before the red pill he was asleep. Post rp he is awake.
It isn't hating women, it isn't picking up women it isn't about inceldom or celibacy or self improvement really tho that is the path most people will take and encourage. It's entirely up to you.
Once you know western society has made women a privileged class and men disposable. you'll never unsee it.
And don't think oh women elsewhere aren't western women.
All women are women just not all are feminist.
I was raised exclusively by women. They'd taught me to be all the things the progressive talking points are circulating now:
Get in touch with your emotions
Be kind
Listen to other people's ideas
Always offer to help others
Make sure you put your woman first
Don't be scared to ask for help
You don't have to be manly
It's okay to be obese
I spent the first 23 years of my life being soft-spoken, servile, attentive, generous, and loving. My friends thought I was gay for much of my life. I'd accomplished nothing. People walked all over me. Women used me for moral support then cast me aside. I doubted everything about myself. My mother and family resented me. I wanted to die. I tried to kill myself twice.
I've only been a man for 4 years. In that I'm stunted compared to those who were allowed a father figure, but starting late is better than never starting at all. Only "toxic" male role models ever told me it was okay for to set standards for the people I allow in my life. They were the only ones who would expose the truth in that acceptance and desire for soft boys isn't real. It's a lie pedaled by cowards who can't grapple with the reality of their own desires, that the things they hate are also the things they crave. I embraced the reality that no one is coming to save men, that no one cares what your struggle is. If you're a man you must prove you're valuable as a human being and that is evidenced only in what you can do, not what you want to do, or what you think about doing.
They acknowledged what I'd came to know but had been trained to disbelieve: Men have no place in society which is truly accepted. If you listen to the programming you're this weak unlikable bot just like everyone else worshiping the ground that your assigned betters walk upon. Not even your own people like you, because they believe every man is just a potential predator. Alternatively if you live for yourself and have some pride and purpose focusing on what fulfills you they target you as a toxic sexist predator because you rightly recognize that women are of all varieties being good and bad, and are in fact not objectively demigods and queens.
I've been the way they designed me to be, the boy they want to turn all boys into, and it didn't work. They still hated what I was, and I hated myself in what they made me. They still hate me now, but I'm secure and confident in the way I'm living. I'm always improving and striving for better things, training my mind and body to uphold the kind of excellence they'd wanted to reserve for their protected classes. As a man I know I can only depend on myself. For the first time in my life, I'm perfectly content with doing it on my own, as I know I can figure this out, simply because I must.00 Reply445 opinions shared on Guy's Behavior topic. Because for the past 15 years every day men are being demonized for being men.
We get called names, accused of things we would never do even accused of thinking in ways we would never think and no matter what we say we are always the villain.
It's easy to sway a generation of men that have had to live through that since they were kids. Just tell them "I hear you" "I'm here for you" "I belive in you" and they are yours to control. THAT'S the red pill in a nutshell.
Even on your post the one women that answered as of this minute casually threw shades at the entire male population just for existing.

You have a poor understanding if your knowledge goes back 15 years.
I think most critics take a look at mgtow or what it's become and laugh at pick up artist and scammers.
Mgtow is more than a boy gaining self confidence at the hand of a con man its a philosophy of living your life on your terms. Whatever looks like. Making and informed decision after years of propaganda and bullshit. - +1 y
My experience goes back 15 years since 15 years ago I turned 10 and began to integrate society and see how men are treated even teenagers.
I get that MGTOW is an older movement and the question was about the red pill which is not quite MGTOW but follows that path as well.
Pickup artists have also changed over the years and yeah they were never truly popular but in a way I found that they preach the most positive of all the messages. At least the new wave of PUA's are actually teaching men how to become better socially by learning how to talk to and flirt with women but also by learning how to build a social circle and how to deal with people in a positive alpha way throughout your life in order to become a higher value guy.
Difference is while the Pills point out a problem and cry about it and preach a message of hate. PUAs actually try to fix the problem as best they can and offer people the chance to live the life they want. - +1 y
There is definitely a difference in mgtow and whatever the redpill community has made of it because it began simply enough.
Puas from the most iv heard measure your worth and ability as a man on how many women you sleep with. I hate the usery I respect them teaching game, female nature and self improvement to men but it's all geared towards getting what you want and makes their whole message feel disingenuous - +1 y

+1 yDepends on what you mean by red pill. That could mean a lot of things depending on who you ask.
If you mean MGTOW, incels, and other similar groups. Because they use women for sex or want to use women for sex. They have a problem with women as well.
So good women avoid them and if they are with them. They run. So they wonder why they get stuck with shitty women. Because they are shitty men.
You can’t want to marry a virgin and whore around yourself. You can’t have your cake and eat it too.

Mgtow isn't about using women for sex. That is more of a pick up artist thing but even they will say it's about pick up not usery. Which I doubt.
Mgtow is about self awareness and self sovereignty. Waking up with the red pill truths and determining what your life is to be now.
Like a cover all title. Pua? Sybm? However you now decide to live your making informed decisions. - +1 y
@lucas262 I don’t know what self sovereignty has to do with anything. This is the same thing feminists say.
Look dude. Nobody cares is someone doesn’t want to have a relationship. A lot of men and women think that just them refusing to date someone is going to stick it to the other sex.
When in reality they are simply sexists and hate people for the way they were born.
I don’t do hook up culture. Believe in saving myself for marriage. A lot of MGTOW people as well are some of the biggest man whores there is out there. I have seen their videos where they ramble on and on about sleeping with women.
Most of them are pieces of shit and wonder why no halfway decent woman wants them. The same as feminists who hate all men wondering why no decent man wants them.
Sure in these days in some areas (I’m blessed in a good area) good people become harder to find sometimes. I get that.
Most “red pill” truths are absolutely true about some women. The same as there is negative behavior in men that feminists speak about. That are also not all men.
Red pill truths are waking up to a lot of other things MGTOW has just a psychological operation and controlled opposition. Has hijacked it. - +1 y

I also believe in waiting till marriage. The puas have infected this community since the beginning. Self sovereignty in that men learn to prioritize themselves in their lives.
It's not about hating women i Certainly don't.

Not really. The blue piller is a man still asleep. It's not necessarily all his fault, he's not a bad guy for being what he's been conditioned to be.
Red piller is a man who is now awake to his reality. Female nature. And western society's view of him as a man.
Mgtow is what you are a man going your own way. Once you decide to make informed decisions from now on in how you live.
That is it. Being asleep, waking up and self sovereignty.
The black pill is I'm touchy on but it's seems to be very doomer like.
The puas I think of as an infection in the mgtow community they always where.
The purple piller is just a man who still holding our hope not all women are like That. And he's right not all women are these vindictive, petty bitches. But.
All women are women. And once you under human psychology you'll never unsee it. At that moment he'll be red pill. Full acceptance.
And the swear off women think is taken too literally. It's a philosophy not a lifestyle there are married mgtow and ones who date not just picking up and using women no.

@lucas262 While most women are selfish, so are most men, they both want to recieve real love, but neither will give it, because they aim their sights at incompatible people, or at least a chunk of them do.
The reason women are less often genuine, is not because they are women, and not because they can't love, it's because most modern women lack a sense of self.
You look at most men, they have a strong sense of their hobbies and interests, its diverse, it lets them express individuality.
But more often than not, women are basic, with being a mom or wanting a guy as their "indentity". Their hobbies often limited to dolling themselves up, traveling, housework, or talking about other people.
Rare is the woman who has interest in video games, art, engineering, science, etc. these are mostly men interested in these things, things that asd that extra layer of "this is who I am".

Mgtow isn't about celibacy that is a common misunderstanding. Some are married, have gfs or go monk/ghost women altogether it's whatever you make it after you take the red pill.
Women make up a big part of a man's life and his motivations we built this world for our women and children. Teaching men to live for and prioritize themselves is counter culture because in our society men aren't supposed to care about themselves like that. Men do for others.
Me personally I am celibate but that because it's against my faith to sleep with someone I'm not married to. If I wasn't I would want to even being a mgtow. - +1 y
@lucas262 you must not understand what MGTOW is. The acronym literally stands for men going their own way, the whole purpose of the group is The men of the MGTOW movement aim to live their lives with no female contact…. You can’t strive for no contact with women and not be celibate.
If you want to get married than you aren’t MGTOW - +1 y
Like I said it Is a common misconception.
A man going his way? What way? He decides. He's taken the red pill now he can make informed decisions and will choose which way he wants to live.
There are married mgtow, mgtow with gfs and yes men who go ghost and break all contact they call them mgtow monks. Going monk mode. Ir because puas/fuck bois and say women are for play only not relationships.
people VERY often get it mixed up but it's a rather mixed bag because people take this information in many different ways.
But at it's core its about self sovereignty. Your the one deciding what direction to head in.
Because men have been conditioned to be blue pill.
