What exactly is purple pill? Simple definition.
It's essentially someone who understands the red pill, has accepted its truths, but is still trying to play a blue pill game. I think I was purple pill for a while. I thought that there could be exceptions, that a woman could love me unconditionally if I maybe played the game a certain way. I think a belief in unconditional love (unicorns or NAWALT) with red pill knowledge is purple pill.
I think you need to have an experience with a woman who you think truly loves you, who is kind and compassionate, and who fvcks you over to take that last step. I had that and I'm convinced that the red pill is truth. I think women can love you, but they can't love you unconditionally, partly because I don't know if I could love a woman unconditionally. If there's no unconditional love, then love is based on value (a mutual exchange, ideally). If love is based on value, then hypergamy and the red pill are true.

"In the community, The Purple Pill is a euphemism for men who’ve become Red Pill aware, but for a variety of insecurities have decided to temper the uncomfortable truths of that awareness with their previous Blue Pill hopes. The harsh, ugly truths that the nature of women, the nature of Hypergamy and the natural selection process of intersexual dynamics presents to these guys becomes too much to bear. It’s all encompassing; when a man begins to see his surroundings with a Red Pill lens the difficult truth needs for an optimistic solution to counter what would otherwise be nihilism."
I will add here that I don't think red pill awareness is nihilistic. I think it's pragmatic. Women can love you, and that love as far as human experience is concerned is real, it's just that it is limited.
