What it mean if someone took a red pill or took a blue pill? I cant find it in net but people use it often
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

"This is your last chance. After this there is no turning back. You take the blue pill, the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I am offering is the truth, nothing more".

Yeah, it's a Matrix reference. Taking the red pill means learning the sometimes uncomfortable truths in life. Taking the blue pill means holding on to your comfortable beliefs, even though they're not true.
Akin to being Red State (Republican, working man) or Blue State (Democrat, welfare queen).
