What's your red-pilled take? Honestly interested
I am a Rollo Tomassi disciple and his iron rule #4 is don't cohabitate
He makes a lot of good points explaining why it's one of his iron rules
Basically it flips the dynamic of the relationship and it's a much better deal for the woman than it is the man. The man loses a lot of his leverage

Fair point. But my leverage is my temperament and confidence. What else could be lost by moving in together when we're already dating and stay together often?
ETA: we already live together so I'm asking hypothetically

The main bargaining chip a man has is the ability to walk and have options and see other women. If the woman believes she is replaceable she will be on her best behavior and do what she needs to do in order to retain his commitment
Once a man moves with her in it implies a level of comfort. You could say it's a failed comfort test. Now that she is living with him she knows it's much harder for him to walk. She can now get away with more. Little by little. The comfort tests and shite tests slowly but surely begin to build up and she will see how far she can go and still get away with.

I haven't ever lived 100% together with an SO. We've kept seperate places, but I usually pay for both (besides the one chick). For all of them, we'd spend every night together though.
The benefits far outweigh the negatives:
Laundry
Food
Cleaning
Sex
Somebody you enjoy hanging around with being there
The negatives are:
Somebody always there
Bad cook
Doesn't fold the clothes like I want
Hair and those black rubber band things everywhere
Empty conditioner bottles in the shower
Putting the TV on Bravo or some stupid channel

All of the shite you have learned and talk about applies to trashy skanks, attention whores, and chicks that are in it for the money. No respectable guy dates those types of women

How do you know the women you date didn't used to be a cum dumpster for Chad Brad and Thad?

I can't wait to see the swamp donkey you end up with.

Neither of us feels the need to ask for permission to do anything. We give each other a heads up but I'm never going to try to control her and the inverse also applies.
First - I am a believer in living together before marriage.
But I don't agree with this statement. It isn't about permission or controlling each other. It is just having someone judge your actions that did not before.
If I live with my SO and we are sitting on the couch watching TV/playing on phones and I get a text from a friend to come to the bar down the street and have a couple drinks, my SO might not forbid or control this, but I can't just get up and put on clothes and walk out. At the very least, I have to tell them where I'm going. And if it is 9PM on a Tuesday and we were pretty wound down for the night, she might think it is crazy [and even possibly not like] that I'm getting up/dressed at 9PM to get a drink. But living apart without anyone to care, that's a regular thing I do.

The prospect of either party leaving the relationship doesn't change when you move in together. Not to the extent that you'd think. She knows she's replaceable. I know I'm replaceable. Neither of us needs the other financially. We're together because get along/are very compatible, want the same things in life, have an emotional attachment and respct each other. If that changes then so be it; we'll go our separate ways. But once I decided to propose, there wasn't a logical reason to not live together for the sake of leverage. Why hold out as incentive for her to "behave" for just a little longer when we're planning to get married? If you're worried about that, you shouldn't marry the girl.

If you're looking for a virgin, you'll be looking for a long time. Girls are going to have a past, it's just a matter of finding one who is respectable and classy, and wasnt a ho in the past. I'm not worried about random Chads because I'm Chad.

You're talking to a dude firmly on the autism spectrum. Don't waste your time.

Virgins are like unicorns, non existent
Even women with low n-counts are exceedingly rare these days. My rule is to take however many sexual partners a woman says she has had and multiply it by 3.
I think anything over than 5 is too many.
I'm realistic about this. I know pure women don't exist. But at the very least, are there women with low partner counts out there? With endless social media validation and apps like Tinder women are far more likely these days to have high partner counts.
The deal is you have women who put on convincing fronts that they are good girls who are innocent and pure. Yet eventually the curtain is pulled back and you learn that they got a train run on them and had 4 different men's sperm emptied into her. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
There was a girl I knew who if anyone, would have been perfect in terms of behavior, low partner count, etc. She was your textbook definition of good girl, extremely religious Christian, behaved, graduated top of her class, volunteered for everything, any accolade you can name she had it. Didn't stop her from popping out a mixed race baby and none of the men she DNA tested were the father.

I've only dated one chick whom I didn't know her almost entire life's history, or was good friends with someone who did.
I don't trust chicks I don't know. I did once, and it didn't work out.
Eta: I'm nowhere near as cynical as you. I just won't put any effort into someone I'm unsure I can trust 100%.
And I've dated a chick who nailed all of the Chad, Brad, Thads, etc you can think of. She was up front about it. Didn't bother me at all because I'm not insecure

You're not wrong but what does that have to do with anything once you find a girl who isn't/wasn't a total whore?
I think the biggest problem with your philosophy (and a lot of other red-pulled dudes) is that their belief system depends on the antiquated idea that the women in the relationship will rely on the men financially. This is rarely the case nowadays.

NYNolaguy1 Its a lot easier to break off a relationship and lease when you're not married. Get married then move in together for the first time, hate living together, and get divorced. That's the real mess.
I would say defiantly wait to have kids after getting married as well. These bitches aren't afraid to dump your arse even with a infinite which blows my freaking mind. It is a no lose game for them. They get half of everything, the kids and an monthly payment for 18 freaking years... It is truly the worst contract you will ever sign.

What I posted above. How are jaded losers gonna take relationship advice from other jaded losers? These are the exact chicks the whole red pill/pick up artist crew chase

The thing is, even if you think you know her, do you really?
The girl I referenced in my last post, the one who popped out Jamal's baby, it was a major red pulling eye opening moment for me. If she ended up being a whore, any woman can be one.
It's like gambling. There are no sure things. All you can do is increase your odds of success as much as possible and then let the chips fall where they may.
It's why I care so much about red flags.
Tattoos or exotic piercings? Red flag
Daddy issues or bad relationship with father? Red flag
Single mom? Red flag
Obsessed with social media and the validation that comes with it? Red flag
Drug use(that includes weed)? Red flag
Gets plastered when drinking? Red flag
There are more of course but those are examples
I know what you all will say. "If all those things are red flags to you, you will never find a woman!". That's fine. Nothing says I have to get married. My life will be awesome either way. Why roll the dice on something like marriave when the odds are not in your favor? I'd be better off putting half of my net worth on a hand of blackjack. I'd rather be single my whole life than settle for a woman with red flag(s).

False equivalency
Red pill and PUA are two different things
Red pill is all about making yourself the best and most valuable man you can be in all areas of life. If you do that then higher value women should come naturally.
PUA is about manipulating women and not improving yourself
