Agreed. Coming into college I found The Red Pill and thought it was some kind of guide to male-success. Really it's just the path to being a cynic which is neither the path to happiness or success. It takes the lowest stereotypes and applies them as natural laws to society. The problem is there is no set of laws for societal interactions, people are good, people are bad, people do crazy things, people do predictable things..

I found the red pill guide far more actionable and effective than the okcupid guide.

Men and women don't have the same challenges in dating so combining advice for the two is unhelpful.

(Ignoring the ad hominem)

FWIW, 'notoriously sexist' is a mild way to put it. The community is a hate group. Recommending them is like saying that joining the Klan is a good way to get involved in your community.

A non-sexist guide to interacting with the opposite sex would, by definition, be useless.
