Ive always been a realist and a lot of TRP viewpoints coincide with what i actually observe irl but was too politically correct to admit it.
Other things as well, such as self improvement. (Losing weight especially)
As has been pointed out already what does self improvement have to do with redpill? You also can't keep claiming to be a realist while ignoring reality.
Self improvement is part of red pill. Looksmaxing, moneymaxing, status maxing are a few examples.
I am a realist and base everything off of empirical evidence and irl observation
You make your self sound like a video game character using terms like that. It's really a joke. You're not a realist because you flat out deny that personality and social skills play any role in dating at all. You are trying to make everything an algorithm or equation when it's not that hard.
it's just internet lingo, chill out
social skills/personality being leveraged only matters if the woman is already into you. You can't FORCE someone to like you in a non platonic way the same way there's nothing a woman can do regardless of his "social skills" if i'm not attracted to her.
it's not algorithm, really it's not complicated. Women can give a fuck less about you in a non platonic way if she's not physically attracted to you.
