The self improvement aspect of Red Pill is something that is often overlooked and doesn't get anywhere near as much air time as "Game" techniques do, which is to our detriment I believe.
I think it stems from self improvement being hard and not paying off instantly. It takes a life time to become the best man you can be and that's too much work for many people.
Whereas learning the best openers on Tinder or "keep escalating until she rejects you" can almost overnight start getting you more action than you got in your Beta days. Then you get obsessed with pussy and getting new notches, you dive headlong into Game and think that's what it's all about. Trying to be outcome independent to get pussy, trying to be confident to get pussy and trying to achieve abundance mentality, all just to get pussy.
Guys get stuck in that area of Red Pill and have no balance. All their focus is on how to get girls, they probably become good at it, but suddenly years go by. It's easy to do in high school and college where getting laid seems like the best thing ever and real life seems a long way off. But that attitude becomes a habit and they take it with them into their 20's and even further if they're not careful. Then, if they're lucky, they hit their 30's and suddenly they realise there's more to life and being a man than pussy. But they are behind the eight ball. It's not too late to start but if they'd had some balance, they could have had both already.
Game is important, you need it to get laid, but getting laid should not be the end goal, merely a by product of a life well lived and being the best you can be. Pussy comes and goes, looking at yourself in the mirror every morning and being proud of what you see, that's forever.
