"For the Red Pill, the first step for most men is denial - in fact, many men remain in this place forever. The desire to see women from their pedastalizing viewpoint is a malady some men will never be cured of. For the men who make it further, the denial phase is generally marked by being genuinely dumbfounded that they so completely missed and in some cases deliberately blinded themselves to the truth.
Anger, often referred to in this instance as beta rage is the follow-on in most cases. The manosphere is full of instances of (often justified) beta rage, most often in the comments section of blogs written by men who are farther down the road of this process. The beta male feels immensely put-upon for being so completely lied to. He also often feels cheated out of his rightful place with whatever women he ended up paying full price for getting married to. Finding out about the blowjobs and quickies handed out like candy to her college boyfriends/fraternity acquaintances destroys the image that he got a “good girl” just as she was ready to settle down. No, you got an amateur harlot just as she was ready to settle.
Bargaining!!! Repeat after me: “Not All Women are Like That”, or “My Woman Was Never Like That”. Repeat until you regress to the denial stage or until you laugh out loud at your own gullibility. Or buy into her rationalizations, such as counting multiple Steves as a single notch. Give her three-for-one on the blowjob count. Just the tip? 50% off!!
Depression can take many forms. This is not depression in the clinical sense, but instead a general sense of despair over the fact that a large majority of women can not be looked to for a reliable long term relationship. This stage can last quite a while because once a man has reached full Red Pill knowledge, he will be re-assessing many of his past experiences with women, and each new experience will be seen in the light of truth. This takes time to work through. Eventually, despair gives way to…
Acceptance. For some guys, MGTOW is the answer, along with complete withdrawal from dating. Some will play a stealthy revenge card.
For many, it takes the form of schadenfreude over the misfortune of these stupid, shallow women as they reach, time and time again for the brass ring of a committed alpha lover, only to fall off the horse into the dirt once again. There is almost always a self-loathing beta to come along and foolishly dust off her ego, even as he imagines he is winning her heart.
The manosphere is doing God’s work, though, by slowly reducing the quality and quantity of such supplicating beta males. The smarter and more self-aware beta males are removed one by one, leaving the dumber and more resistant men to act as emotional tampons for these women. In time, women will be forced to reach for lower quality fruit on the bottom branches. Normally, a woman who is a 6 will bruise her ego, her innocence, and probably her vajayjay sportfukking men who are an eight or higher, while using a man who is an actual six — and really her rightful counterpart — as her clean-up crew. When the male sixes decide to let princess free-fall into the mud puddle, she will be left shopping around for a four or five to patch her up, and she will see her sexual market value as lessened by it. Win."
