It's not wrong if that's the game women want to play. You want to play hard to get or put up complicated barriers to get to sex, then don't be surprised when guys play games back or lie to get to what they really want.
Why not hold yourself to your own standard, instead of stooping to the awful behaviours of other people? It's not a lose-lose situation, by the way. There are other ways to play the game that don't involve straight up abusive behaviour.
The red pill theory works because in principal it gives you the tools you need to be an attractive mate. Backbone, self reliance, initiative, a method that allows you to confront fears with a plan, etc. But you don't need to think up creative ways to break down a woman's self esteem or dehumanise her entire existence to get there.
What if all I want is sex and I don't want nor care to get to know the person as a person and have to play any game at all to do so? Doesn't seem to work. That's why manipulation is OK to me. ---
