It’s tough to be a Red Piller, apparently. I mean, once a man has mastered the fine art of Red Pillery, he quickly becomes so irresistable to the HB7’s through HB9’s of the world that he needs advice on which of these lovely ladies deserve to be treated to Long Term Relationships (LTR’s) and which deserve only to be plated.
Happily, the good fellows on the Ask The Red Pill subreddit have made this tedious sorting procedure much easier and more scientific, providing numerous examples of “red flags” that men should watch out for in the ladies they’re dating.
Some of their advice is fairly standard relationship advice: avoid manipulative or abusive women, as manipulation and abuse are only ok when Red Pill dudes do them. Other “red flags” are standard Red Pill bugbears like tattoos (never ok for women); dyed hair (it’s only ok to dye hair if you’re, say, a well-known Red Piller with scary grey hairs sprouting in your beard); antidepressants (getting treatment for depression is apparently a terrible thing); and of course getting fat.
But. as a public service, I thought I would share some of the more, well, unique “red flags” that should instantly disqualify women as LTR material. If nothing else, this should be a useful list for any woman who would like to know some simple things they can do to repel Red Pill dudes.
So here, in the words of assorted Red Pillers, are the Top 18 Often Overlooked Red Pill Red Flags for men seeking long-term relationships. If any of the following are true, your potential special lady is actually a filthy whore only good for sex.
1) She uses birth control
2) She has a “squeaky 5 year old voice”
3) She went to law school
4) She has “many bins of chopped carrots in fridge”
5) She doesn’t wear dresses “without being commanded to”
6) She owns a dog
10) She’s two years older than you
11) She “wants to wear [a] slutty bikini to music festival”
15) She is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse
17) She previously worked at a flight attendant
18) She “frequently [goes] to the hospital and has family with a history of health issues”
So there you are!
There is, of course. a much shorter Red Pill Red Flag list for women considering a long-term relationship with a guy. There is only one item on this list.
- He gets dating advice from the Red Pill subreddit (or any other Red Pill site)
In a future post I will look in more detail at several of these Red Pill Red Flags.
Sources: The first six in the list come from Red Piller abdada, a frequent maker of red flag lists, in comments here , here, and here, The rest are linked directly to their sources on the Ask The Red Pill subreddit.

Whoops, you’re right. That’s what I get for not double-checking stupid PUA terminology. I must have confused it with AMOG ‘destroyers’, or ‘the techniques used to usurp the alpha of the group’.
I spend some time looking for whatever stupid acronym refers to what I thought AMOG refers to but I gave up after this point because ew:

Yeah, cause women totally love some random dudes saying “oh I’ve fucked her” or calling her a slut. Totally not creepy at all.
So glad that my CSA protects me from these superior specimens of magnamity. It had to be good for something!
It’s not that can’t imagine this ever happening, so much as I can’t imagine a man who could make that work spending time reading seductionbase.com
EDIT: CSA? Is that the thing where they send you a bag of vegetables every week?
@Orion
Childhood sexual abuse.
I assume most dogs can read emotions well enough to tell the difference between humans hitting each other and having a grand old time and humans hitting each other because they’re angry and fighting.
As Oliver Wendell Holmes once said “Even a dog can tell between a kick and a stumble”
Dogs are excellent at reading emotion. I have the least aggressive dog in the world but she loves play fighting; and she can tell when humans are play fighting too.
While I don’t have any personal experience, I’ve seen people on BDSM message boards who said that their dog has become hostile to their boyfriend/girlfriend/lover upon hearing them (referring to the owner) cry or scream or get hit behind closed doors. Obviously it varies depending on the dog’s personality, but when they don’t even know what’s going on… which is why I said “sometimes problematic”.
Rosie, SFHC,
Sorry, now I feel bad about making jokes. I thought we were still riffing on the carrots thing.
Tiffany? What the hell? Do they just randomly pull that name from their asshat?
@GeekyGirlForever: Politically active would be more than just a red flag for these troglodytes, it’d be a screaming klaxon!
Definitely the most assured way to keep these idiots from hitting on you.
That said though your friend is pretty bloody ignorant tho, to say that no guys would agree with your politics as a common interest or be attracted to someone who is passionate about a cause is ludicrous. I can think of at least 2 people who would leave their partners if they gave up their passionate advocacy!
Molly’s a little over-protective of me when anyone seems to be ‘sneaking up’ while my back is turned, doesn’t follow procedure for being within 5 feet of me, and strangers who haven’t endured the requisite circle-sniffx4. But those soulful expresso colored eyes and those soft silky puppy stinky ears….ahh…I can forgive her of all things.
My cat was a total pervert, not only did she ‘like to watch’ the sexytimes but she insisted on accompanying anyone to the bathroom so she could hang out and watch them pee. Sometimes she’d climb into ones pants like they were a damn hammock.
Well, at least they admit that they’re sealions. That’s the first step to recovery. Unfortunately, if the AA model is anything to go by, they’ve got at least 11 more ahead of them.
And that ooky opening message doesn’t bode well, either.
PS: King Missile! I like!
msexceptiontotherule:
Cats nesting in pants is surprisingly common. Imgur is actually full of pictures of cats doing that.
My theory is that cats want to protect their staff while they are having a Vulnerable Moment on that cold seat.
Example:

The Don’t Date Sexual Violence Survivors command has been part of PUA manuals published in the past two decades. Ron Louis and David Copeland included it in How to Succeed with Women.
I’m thoroughly entertained by the fact that a group of nasty men that women won’t have anything to do with took the time to make a list of requirements that women need to jump through hoops to meet in order to date men they don’t want.
Why is their invented dialogue always so cringey?
I’ll bet not one of these guys ever broke up with a woman for any of these things.
But they used their complaints as psychic weapons to batter the women:
Ew! Look at all these carrots!
I hate your dog!
Are all flight attendants slutty?
They did this to guilt trip her and keep her off-balance. If she gave up her carrots (or her dog or her job!), he would consider that a victory.
Then he would up the ante.
It never ends well.
For these guys, it sounds as though the women broke up with them. I hope so.
I also hope that all the women who have these habits or animals or jobs, etc.–which is the female population of planet Earth–reject them. Now. Always.
@Sofia van der Linde
Sure.
‘Cause he’d like to be the first.
Nice list there, boys. Does it make you feel important? I suppose now it gives you the excuse that you can’t find a good woman to date rather than facing the truth that you’re facing a dwindling number of women who actually want to have a thing to do with you.
@PI–that was Miss Manners! I remember that one. She has a few snappy answers to questions along the lines of ‘what if other people do harmless/trivial things that don’t affect me that I don’t like?’
Dude, whoever you are, you need to stop everything and reexamine your life.
PS: Did you know that cruelty to animals is illegal?
GrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrr….being mean to animals would result in the person doing so getting left somewhere while they were 100% not prepared for the environment/weather or have the means for getting rescued within easy access…if their punishment was left up to me.
Maybe there was a reason for her new dog to go into protective mode, BRO.
Dr. James Dobson (I think it was him) – Christian family and child raising ‘expert’ shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near kids or dogs based on the things he believes to work in raising children properly (and dachshunds – he threw what amounts to a temper fit over the dog not doing what he wanted and describes the dog like the poor thing was some evil human mastermind that he had a battle of wills to win against!) Not once did he consider that his tactics were the problem or that kicking/etc a dog might 1.) be monstrous animal cruelty and 2.) unlikely to convince the dog to do a damn thing he wanted it to.
Someone should have tied Dobson to a tree way out in wild North, put a bunch of food around him so the bears can find him. Bonus points if they made sure he wasn’t dressed for the weather. Damned jerkfacegrumblegrumbleassholegrumble.
@Skiriki
Hahahaha well that explains the cats hanging out in pants. While their person is wearing them.
Dogs are extremely empathic animals: they tend to reflect the mood of their owner when reacting to people. The dog of a racist will bark at black people because they sense their owner’s hostility, even if the owner says nothing openly. It’s a well documented phenomenon.
This being the case, if women’s dogs are always attacking him, maybe it’s because he’s always scaring those women.
There’s a quote somewhere along the lines of “I might not date a man who doesn’t like dogs, I definitely won’t date a man that dogs don’t like”.
msexceptiontotherule: Exactly — cats can be very protective, and this is how they reward their personal staff, by protecting them fiercely when they are doing their bizniz. 😉
(On a slightly more serious note, cats have protected their owners from burglars, rapists and fire, sometimes to the point of death. As it turns out, stereotypes about animals are stereotypes, and all critters should be judged on individual basis. All hail noble kittehs.)
Alan Robertshaw:
On a similar basis, I give hairy eyeball to people who say they hate cats because they can’t be trained or trusted or are stupid or [insert whatever stereotype that usually gets applied to women]. It is usually a very bad sign.
