Red Pills for Non MGTOW

[Modern Day WarriorParticipant 499]

I have a very close relationship with my stepfather, who is 80. We discuss all kinds of topics, and recently the topic turned to the red pill concept. He’s been happily married to my mother for 35 years, and they seem to have one of those rare marriages that actually works out. My experience with marriage has been quite different, and he’s smart enough and open minded enough to see my perspective.

So, I explained MGTOW philosophy. He also read some stuff I’ve written on the issues, and viewed a couple of John’s videos at MGTOW is Freedom that I suggested. Being a lifelong learner, he took an interest in the whole thing.

One day we were having another phone discussion (we live on opposite coasts) and he said that my mom likes watching those “house hunter” shows, where couples shop around for a home. (God, I hate those, but hey, she is a woman after all) He said that he noticed something that he had never noticed before: That all of the women were acting like entitled, spoiled princesses. That they always wanted the biggest, most expensive house, spending every cent of their “budget”, or actually going over budget.

He also observed that the men involved were always hesitant and uncomfortable with the proceedings. They knew they were getting in over their heads, but did it anyway in an attempt to “make her happy”. We all know how that story ends.

The point is that my stepdad was able to see things from a red pill perspective for the first time, where previously he had never seen what was going on in these stupid shows.

This isn’t the first time I’ve had this happen, of course. In talking with other men I often get the “s~~~, I never thought of it like that” response. I’d be interested in hearing about any similar experiences, where men who aren’t ever going to “go MGTOW” are still able to see the logic behind it.

It should be interesting to see if he begins to “evaluate” his own marriage now that he has had a couple/few Red Pills, and been exposed to the TRUTH.

Great post bro. Logic is the keyword. You have it, don’t lose it.

Peace is > piece.

Don’t forget the showpiece kitchen.

The size and cost of the kitchen is in inverse proportion to the likelihood that the c~~~ will actually ever use it.

Interesting post. I do hope though (and I mean you no disrespect sir) that he realizes your mom is no NAWALT or unicorn herself. Esp having come from a previous marriage/relationship. Recognizing red pill stuff within society is one thing. Understand female nature and being aware of the signs, esp in a relationship is an entirely different matter.

No disrespect taken, and thank you for that. Yeah, the issue of moms, sisters, etc is a whole topic in itself. In my case, my mother was one of many people who encouraged me to keep looking for the Right One, back in the day. Even when women mean well, they can’t avoid their nature, and the default is “a man needs a woman”. Some guys seem able to find a situation that works for them long term, as is the case here. I know of exactly 3 long term marriages where both are truly happy. But that doesn’t’t change the fact that if the female decides to bolt, the man is screwed.
