Outside of the [[manosphere]], the red, blue and black pills are used for other things than just dating. The [[bluepill|blue pill]] generally refers to the denial of uncomfortable truths, the [[redpill|red pill]] refers to the revelation of an uncomfortable truth (as an analogy to the film The Matrix), and the black pill refers to uncomfortable truths that either nothing can be done about or it would require changes difficult to attain, e.g. large-scale cultural changes. | Outside of the [[manosphere]], the red, blue and black pills are used for other things than just dating.

Within the [[manosphere]], the three pills are more narrowly concerned with social and romantic life, and they represent different tribes or ideologies with differing views on issues like the importance of looks in dating. The three ideologies can be summarized as follows (adapted from the BlackPillScience subreddit<ref>https://reddit.com/r/blackpillscience</ref>): | Within the [[manosphere]], the three pills are more narrowly concerned with social and romantic life, and they represent different tribes or ideologies with differing views on issues like the importance of looks in dating.

*[[Blackpill]]: A pessimistic, nihilistic or defeatist version of the Red Pill, where one accepts the fate nature has bestowed upon them, and resigns themselves to the fact that the world is naturally unfair and will always remain so. These people will generally accept, much like redpillers, that looks means everything, and other materialistic facets of the redpiller's truth, however will remain apathetic. Although this defeatism isn't illogical, to the contrary, a lot of these people realise the irrational situation of improving themselves would be. Blackpillers are usually very disgustingly ugly and realise all hope was lost before they were even born. | |||
*[[Red pill]]: Redpillers can be described as persons who accept unpopular mainstream opinions. Such as [[gynocentrism]] and that some men are disadvantaged in the [[dating]] scene due to their genetics. | |||
*[[Purplepill]]: non-ideological and neutral viewpoint towards gender relations and the [[dating]] scene (on the fence between [[bluepill]] and redpill) | |||
*[[Bluepill]]: a dominant banal viewpoint that leans towards [[feminism]] (opposite/antonym of redpill) | |||
*[[Pink pill]]: female equivalent of the blackpill | |||
*[[Whitepill]]: being stoic and ascetic | |||
Both the redpill and blackpill acknowledge the importance of [[LMS]] 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). | Both the redpill and blackpill acknowledge the importance of [[LMS]] 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). | ||
