BONGI. Come and get it.

When I visit the subreddit r/TheRedPill—one of the manosphere’s more infamous ports of origin—I find that Reddit has quarantined it. “Are you sure you want to view this community?” the page asks me, telling me that the community is “dedicated to shocking or highly offensive content.” I click through. I’m here to read a popular post from 2016 entitled “HOW TO GET LAID LIKE A WARLORD: 37 Rules of Approaching Model-Tier Girls.” The post bills itself as a “complete guide to picking up 9s and 10s,” though it hastens to add that it doesn’t cover body language or “handling logistics.” (I adjust my expectations.) Its author, who appears to be a man named Mike Haines, describes his past life as a sickly, shrimpy kid, frequently bullied by other, bigger boys. For most of his life, Mike has been involuntarily celibate, but after taking the red pill, he began regularly fucking 7s and 8s, and his current girlfriend is a 9 who’s done some modeling work.

Mike’s philosophical system is simple: Women are attracted to men, period. The only problem is that, for evolutionary reasons, they’re also picky. Red-pillers describe this phenomenon as hypergamy: the tendency of women to seek increasingly attractive partners until their standards are impossibly high. Because they naturally prefer men with stronger frames—frame is a term of art in the pickup artist community, meaning something like “social comportment” or, if you like, “gender”—women unconsciously subject each potential suitor to a series of tests designed to put his frame under pressure: “Women want to submit to you. They want to submit to a strong man. But she can’t submit to you if your frame is weaker than hers.” Paradoxically, this means that male seduction is, in Mike’s own words, a “passive process,” not an active one. Mike clearly has little patience for cheap tricks or shortcuts: pickup lines, manipulation techniques, good looks or deep pockets. The name of the game is, simply, endurance. “Women have said things to me that are totally brutal—called me ugly, too short, a loser, etc.,” Mike confides. “It doesn’t penetrate.”

And so transpires an unexpected reversal of roles: in order for a woman to be sure a man’s worth submitting to, she must first dominate him. The man, conversely, must learn to look forward to his submission: “Women are wired in such a way that they can’t become wet for a man unless he’s overcome some kind of resistance to get her,” Mike explains. “Hence, tests actually help you to seduce her. You want her to test you. The more tests you endure, the faster she’ll sleep with you.” The biggest loser—the one most open to abuse, suffering, humiliation—thus turns out to be the biggest winner. Desperate to prove he isn’t a woman, he temporarily becomes one. A man will gladly “swim through a river of snot, wade nostril-deep through a mile of vomit, if he thinks there’ll be a friendly pussy awaiting him,” the SCUM Manifesto dryly observes.

You may think I’m being too generous to Mike and his fellow Red Pillers.
