When I was recently introduced to RP, it really changed my life for the better. I have this childhood friend who's still close to me that is now a lot like how I was before, and I really think he could benefit from it.
However, although he's not woke, he's not quite so convinced yet. Through brief comments and exposure he's started to warm up to it, but he's still uncomfortable being on online forums and other communities having heard their mainstream bad reputation, and I don't know what to do. Do I just wait it out until he warms up more to being on manosphere forums? What other types of non-woke media can I introduce him to? What else can I do? Do I just leave him behind?
I really want to help him out, but I don't know if it's feasible to reverse his lib-dominated mainstream brainwashing even though it seems like I've made cracks already.

You cannot bring men to the shore. They have to swim.
Trying to RP men who aren't ready is like swimming out into a river to save a drowning person only for them to fight you and tell you that they're perfectly fine and you should drown with them.

Do not introduce people to these things. Some things need to happen on their own.

Turned probably three dozen people on to soft RP content; PON, 48 Law, psychology books and it took most of them 5 years to turn around and start sending me the same shit back like it never happened.
As most said I wouldn't recommend.

You're going to ruin your friendship. Don't introduce him to RP. Slowly drop some hints but you're 100% going to ruin your friendship if he's still that soy-cuck washed
Trust me he will not like you after this and his white knight conditioning will flag you as the enemy

Try giving him a copy of my book. I wrote it before indulging in TRP, so there's no lingo in there.

This has been written about numerous times over the past decade plus.
don't try to redpill your friends.
A) it'll usually just ruin your friendship. Their conditioning is likely too strong to overcome.
B) you're still too new to know when someone is actually ready. A lot of newbies to RP are like newly-converted Christians: way too zealous and preachy to the point that they turn other people off from it.
C) usually you have to wait until they're zeroed out before they'll even be receptive to it. It's at that time you maybe give them a copy of Rollo's first "Rational Male" book and tell them you're there for them. Don't necessarily expect this to help either; I gave my stepbrother that book when he got divorced years ago, and as far as I know, he still hasn't even read it.
Anyway, for the sake of your friendship, just don't.

Congrats on the conversion. I'm not sure how you "discovered" RP, but for most people, it's a personal choice that they have to make in order to find happiness and balance in their life. It's not your job (or anyone's) to convince him. If and when he's ready, be supportive. The only thing you can "do" is continue on your path.

In my experience,and according to others experiences as well, it is never a good idea to try and red pill a friend.Sometimes it isnt even a good idea to spill some red pill bites of knowledge. Keep it to yourself, if your friend is very close and dear to you then maybe,MAYBE he will listen to some red pill advice from you.
Just dont.

You cant turn your friends on to game. I ruined a friendship over it.
(His wife was cheating and making it his fault and he was staying with her as her cuck and i told him she's a cheating whore and he needs to dump her, he chose her over me and i haven't talked to him in years now.)
Men only want alternative solutions when they hit rock bottom, otherwise it feels better to indulge in a dream of how things SHOULD be, instead of what they are.

At least that guy got served the truth for once in his life, and is taking the consequences of his own actions.

It’s insane how many otherwise good dudes are so invested in the blue pill narrative that they wont let anything disrupt their world view.
The fear of having been so fundamentally wrong for all their lives, and what it would mean for them going forward, is too immense. They’ll rather take the easy way and get society’s pat on the back.

100%. I went on my 2nd deployment with him. Trained him. Trusted him to do any man tasks, but when it comes to women we lose our frame so fast because we WANT pussy so badly.

As others have said, he needs to seek the red pill himself in order for it to actually have an effect. You can hint about your RP viewpoints during casual conversation, which may get him interested. But I wouldn't bother if he's not actively seeking your advice.

Rule #1: Do not talk about Fight Club.
Be the example: Get jacked. Pull all the chicks. He'll start to ask questions. Introduce him to the concepts (not talk about beta or alpha or none of that shit). "Let me tell you a secret about women..." type shit. Invite him to the gym to work out with you. Show him the way.

As everyone has said "this is a horrible idea". He has to want this for himself, not you pushing it on him.
