It's a reference from the The Matrix movie series.

Basically the character Morpheus(i think) offers Neo the option of a Blue and Red pill.

The Blue pill basically allowed him to remain in the fake world(AFC) of the Matrix whilst the Red pill would get him out of the Matrix and into the real world(DJ).

This.

And this.

I lose respect for anyone who uses the metaphor. It's so fvcking lame and just makes me think of them as a keyboard warrior.

Regarding this website.. people who take the "Blue pill" don't live in reality. They see women, marriage and relationships according to what the media and Disney movies preach. The blue pill is Dr. Phil and feel good self-help "fat women a beautiful" crap.

People who take the "Red pill" like to believe they view the world unfiltered the way it really is. The red pill is about real world FACTS and critical thinking. Unfair divorce laws, gold diggers, female hypergamy, etc.

Blue Pill --> Sugar coated sunshine

Red Pill --> Harsh Truth

the really funny thing is that, according to the Matrix films, the red pill was another invention used to trick humans into thinking they had escaped the matrix.

In other words, even if they take the red pill they are still slaves, just in another matrix.

It was a matrix within a matrix.
