The '''blackpill''' is a philosophy that argues that [[beauty|physical attractiveness]] is the most critical factor in determining men's dating success, especially in modern Western countries.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vI92nJUjvjE</ref> A man's money, status, and social skills are argued to be other factors of secondary importance, which is known as [[LMS|LMS theory]].

As a consequence of these beliefs, blackpillers often argue that men's dating issues require systematic rather than individual solutions, if there is any solution at all for the most disadvantaged males.<ref>https://dalrock.wordpress.com/2011/11/21/she-felt-unloved/#comment-22914</ref> Someone who holds a certain amount of blackpill beliefs is called a '''blackpiller''' or '''blackpilled'''. | As a consequence of these beliefs, blackpillers often argue that men's dating issues require systematic rather than individual solutions, if there is any solution at all for the most disadvantaged males.<ref>https://dalrock.wordpress.com/2011/11/21/she-felt-unloved/#comment-22914</ref> Someone who holds a certain amount of blackpill beliefs is called a '''blackpiller''' or '''blackpilled'''. | ||

The blackpill emerged in opposition to the [[redpill]] philosophy. Adherents of this movement, influenced by [[PUA|pick-up artistry]], generally promote [[work on yourself|self-improvement]] and various dating tricks as the solution for men's dating woes. The redpill also promotes an individualistic approach to dating that often blames incels and low-status men's attitudes for their lack of mating success. These differences in outlook frequently enable tensions between redpillers and blackpillers. | The blackpill emerged in opposition to the [[redpill]] philosophy.

In general online parlance, the term 'blackpill' also refers to a harsh fact (see [[pill jargon]]). In this sense, 'blackpiller' or 'blackpilled' denotes someone with a pessimistic view of the world or a particular situation. This specific usage of the term is often detached from any explicit incel connotations. | In general online parlance, the term 'blackpill' also refers to a harsh fact (see [[pill jargon]]).

The term blackpill was first used in November 2011 by a blog commenter named ''Paragon'' on the Dalrock anti-[[feminist]] blog. Paragon said only mass poverty could solve men's systemic [[dating]] issues, as he saw that as the only mechanism that could bind women to men short of eugenics. Facing [[dating]] difficulties in Ontario (Canada), Paragon moved from Canada to the Philippines, a less prosperous country than Canada, and married there.
