The rise of the black pill is a by-product of the rise of the incels, although black pillers are not necessarily incels.

However, in the "Pillology", the Black Pill addressed a factor which was previously under-emphasised, which is Looks.

Game Guys of the past said it did not matter or said it had little value as men's attraction triggers are different to those of women.

Red Pill Guys made it one variable amongst many to create the desire for Women.

Purple Pill Guys would look at it and make jokes about them using their relationship status and hope strategist angle as a disproval of the tenant of the Black Pill.

Blue Pill Guys would just call them Incels.

As we guys want a simple answer to a problem, most people miss the fact that the female equation does not have one single variable.

1) THE GOOD

We all remember the guys who had all the success with the girls at school; they were what we now call the Chads and Tyrones.

This continues in real life. Some will say Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder. Yes and No.

You will find that some guys gain more female traction than others, holding everything else equal, and if dating apps proved something, it is very likely that the same selected few scoops all of the women.

However, the idea of Archetypes and Niches arose from the Black Pill as a way to stack chances on your side.

Moreover, the Passport Bro movement partly emanated from the Black Pill, underscoring the importance of race and the underlying hierarchy in the league of ethnicities (the other parts are associated with wealth and the status of being a foreigner in third-world countries). Passport Broing is essentially exporting status (looks are a status signal in the West).

Having said that, women have different types, even for guys who do not fall within the typical Chad and Tyrone framework. It will be about some physical or appearance quirks, but only. More importantly, when you fall into that category with a specific girl, this beats the Chadrone category because there is that assumption of proximity with her as she projects a closer association with her.

In other words, a genuine desire for them must be through looks, not accomplishments or what makes a man overall.

The other good idea that came out of it is the "Halo Effect". In this instance, the concept establishes that people will draw positive attributes from someone based on their looks.

"He must be intelligent, funny, witty, resourceful, and confident. " She is invested in a positive outcome because she wants to be associated with him because he is a good reflection of herself.

The Height Pill, The Age Pill, The Race Pill, and The Dick Pill are sub-segments which also hold some validity too, which are factors which are not discussed or shunned by other Pills.

The Height Pill: Women would prefer a guy taller than them. It is in their DNA to want to feel protected by a man; towering over her will give her that impression. Height does not make up for everything but can be used as the first filtering line.

The Age Pill: This is where Black Pillers call Red Pillers "coppers", where they disagree on how men age like fine wine and that genuine attraction is just betabuxxxing to compensate for the fact they have not generated real attraction in their youth that they have to compensate with cash later on.

The Race Pill: The only caveat is that the Chads of each race don't fall within the hierarchy. The idea is that some races will suffer from much lower success due to the mental association people make with them.

The Dick Pill: Mandingos will be a more potent attraction source for a woman, especially if other women hear about it. Having too big one can also be a net negative.

All in all, it is the idea that first impression dictates the following interactions, and Game is not needed as everything is dictated from the onset, and that outcome is downstream from looks.

Introducing what I call Chad's Buffer, where you will be allowed a certain amount of missteps before the amount of goodwill from the girl diminishes to the point of no return.

People make quick judgments about people based on what they can quickly see. Heuristics exist, and whether we like it or not, people judge a book by its cover.

2) THE BAD

You can see above that all the points they raise focus on the original attraction.

Raw desire can only be dictated by looks and cannot be compensated through what "Red Pill coppers" would preach. It is only just a lie they tell themselves for ego protection purposes.

I agree with them on this when it comes to initial attraction. Nevertheless, attraction is not only reliant on the first stage. Anyone who has been in an LTR will know that attraction has to be continuously worked on, and looks alone won't do it. By adopting the Black Pillers mindset here, we are just assuming that women think of attraction as we do in a very unidimensional way.

It is no surprise that a lot (not all) of the supporters of the Black Pill are incels.

Even if you benefit from the original leg up, trust women to throw traps for you to fall into to decrease their attraction for you.

Black Pillers are stuck on the model because it is a full projection of how they view attraction and/or the wish of how they would be appreciated, in the same way as they appreciate a woman.

They don't understand that the depth and scope of a woman's attraction to a man goes through a much longer timeline and a wider array of skills and characteristics.

I will use the example of some of your most favourite songs.

You have two types of songs:

1) The ones to which you first listen, and it is a straight banger. You have it on repeat all day long (or whatever your frequency is), but you will soon get bored of it, and it does not stand the test of time, and when you listen to it much later, you just skip it.

2) The ones you thought it was not that great to start with, just ok. However, you randomly listen to it a few times and eventually realise that the song is dope AF. You start listening repeatedly and getting into the groove of it. You will also find that the song's lifespan is much longer than the first type of song and holds a deeper meaning.

This encompasses the fact that people are not uni-dimensional as much as we would like to think it is the case.

Even the most basic of people have deeper roots, multiple personas, and many contradictory feelings. Knowing how to press on them, you will realise that if you spend time to get past the book's cover, there is much more to them.

Triggering these inflexion points creates the deep attraction, not the surface level.

Being a full Black Piller makes you ignore the above, and I understand why guys do. It just does not resonate with them.

It's the same as women not wanting to understand how they give away their most prized asset for nought to guys they say they don't care about but make the guy they like wait longer.

On one hand, guys equate how much she likes him to him getting the sex fast because that is what speaks to him.

On the other hand, women equate how much they like a guy by the level of deep connection they give him and don't want to squander it with sex, which contrasts with the previous cavalier behaviour she had. (This is also a cope for guys they are not really attracted to but would like to be).

Their lack of understanding of the other party's perspective keeps them from understanding them.

Long story short, it denies the human factor of both genders rendered meaningless through a well-packaged individual, which fits quite well in today's commodification of everything, including people.

When it comes to Game, which addresses the psychological triggers of attraction in women and men, you will realise that if you rely on Looks alone, your results will drop.

Most Black Pillers are armchair managers as they use that as an excuse not to expose themselves, thinking the Game is rigged from the get-go.

But suppose you were a Game Guy like me who embraced the concepts of the Black Pill out of intellectual curiosity and mostly laziness. In that case, you may not see a substantial decrease in the short-term results (yet I did), but in the long term, you would see a lot of dropouts and start developing bad routines.

It is a self-defeating loop of reinforced helplessness (where Looks are 80% defined and genetically driven). It makes you sound like a bitch who wants to picture himself as a victim and who relies on his looks alone to get the outcome of what he wants in life, not discounting the complete legitimisation of his lack of accountability.

This introduces the next point.

3) THE UGLY

Although I agree with many things about the Black Pill, this is where the Black Pill is misguided:

"Personality and Masculinity Copes":

Have you ever found yourself talking to a straight drop-dead gorgeous girl who happened to have a shit attitude? Despite her striking looks, the energy that came out of it: entitlement, arrogance, or thinking her shit does not stink, acts as a complete deterrent to deal with her any longer.

This translates differently when it comes to guys. Imagine a girl speaking to a Chad who stutters, lacks confidence, asks permission, seeks validation, has no conversation, is socially retarded has no fucking game and acts like a bitch..

All of the imagery she had of him vanishes. Trust her to blame him for the Halo Effect, which completely overshadows her lack of original insights.

If Looks is the bait, personality and masculinity are the hook.

At the end of the day, if a woman wanted a bitch she would be a lesbian, but she complains of the lack of actual masculine men, and they are not wrong (although they have turned masculine themselves for the most part).

So, relying on looks makes you a bitch, as that is what she does.

More importantly, personality is evidence of your establishment as a man and how well you know how to navigate the social world.

Masculinity is built through hardship, failure, grit and consistency outside of an upbringing, which initially fostered values of what you should and should not do as a man. Our soft world makes it easy for guys not to develop these necessary characteristics, which also translates into their everyday lives.

Masculinity goes beyond looking like a GigaChad, which BlackPillers, who only focused on looks, are missing.

Men are more masculine through their mindset than their lean muscle mass. Although the latter helps. This is why girls will be shit-testing your mental strength more often than touching your biceps.

It is not an either-or model. Masculinity through muscle is a heuristic that many women are attracted to. Not all; some are genuinely put off by it.

Working on both sides of the equation is necessary to develop yourself as a man and feel much better from within. This is regardless of women and how to appeal to them.

If Game, the Red Pill and the Black Pill have something in common, it is creating a realm under which everything has to be done for the approval of women, as women are at the cornerstone of the subject matter. At least with Game, it is about hiding the original intent.

Game / PUA: Learn the verbal, non-verbal and psychological jujitsu to get a woman in bed, often at the expense of your own identity.

Red Pill: Build an infrastructure (Looks, Money, Status) that focuses on harder metrics to attract girls and expects them to fall for you through a box-ticking exercise equals to "I am a 1%er you should like me."

Black Pill: If you are on the Black Pill maxxxer bandwagon, you will only focus on the surface level and become surface level yourself, which will only go so far as to find yourself as a bland guy who exchanged his balls sack for ovaries.

You would better develop your own philosophy and mental point of origin, where your selfishness precedes what would appeal to women. If it happens, that is great, but that is not what you seek expressly. As approval seeking will hold you back. If it does not, so be it, it does not change the fact that you are a cool guy to you.

Counter-intuitively enough, this will generate attraction, as you will give the IDGAF Energy.

Appreciate yourself and allow other people who appreciate you in your world. That is what "living in your frame" means.
