Both the redpill and blackpill acknowledge the importance of looks etc. for dating, but the redpill claims that one can leverage this knowledge for one's social and romantic success (internal locus of control), whereas the blackpill assumes that for some men there is no help without changing the conditions of mating altogether (external locus of control). The blackpill can be seen as a counterweight to the prevalent and bluepilled assumption that having a poor social and romantic life is mostly [[Neoliberalism|one's own fault]]. | Both the redpill and blackpill acknowledge the importance of looks etc. for dating, but the redpill claims that one can leverage this knowledge for one's social and romantic success (internal locus of control), whereas the blackpill assumes that for some men there is no help without changing the conditions of mating altogether (external locus of control).

Self-identified incels differ on whether or not culture can be changed without evolutionary adaptations with regards to systemic dating issues for men. Some argue only evolutionary adaptations can change peoples sexual proclivities (which would take thousands or millions of years). Social darwinist blackpillers tend to promote fatalism during advocation of [[incelicide]]. Other blackpillers use the blackpill to mean fatalism due to a belief in [[biological essentialism]]. However, not all blackpillers are social darwinists or biological essentialists and therefore do not use the term to mean fatalism, and do not have prescriptivist implications in their use of the term blackpill. | Self-identified incels differ on whether or not culture can be changed without evolutionary adaptations with regards to systemic dating issues for men.
