| 12 | "I'm overwhelmed by matches on dating apps" so stop swiping???You give them money: "sorry, no likes here." Someone posted about how they had tinder gold and were getting no likes. within 5 minutes of it running out, they got a "you have likes" notification | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/06/25 02:20 PM |
| 2 | Shaming women for doing the very thing you want them to doA thing I have noticed more and more as time passes, is that a lot of men especially in TRP spaces, view sex as something men do to women, not with. So it's not a double standard in their eyes to judge a woman for doing things with other guys, that he also wants to do. To them, she's not choosing to do those things with those guys: She's "Letting" them do those things to her. It's a perspective rooted in ownership, not connection. It's why you see comparisons to inanimate objects (lock & key) or… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/06/25 02:17 PM |
| 1 | The idea that men are intimidated by successful women is mostly a myth.Look, he's not saying that cheating is something women are inherently predisposed to! That's why he keeps digging his heels in and shifting away from the question when asked to confirm he doesn't think women are inherently predisposed to cheating. It's also very funny because... "shitty people rape people" is uh, the case? Men who rape women aren't doing it because they're men, it's because they're rapists. the vast majority of rapists being men is something that we should be examining as a soci… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/03/25 09:37 PM |
| 2 | The idea that men are intimidated by successful women is mostly a myth.No, what you said was women will monkey branch to more desirable men And they responded by pointing out that no, shitty people monkey branch regardless of gender. The fact you didn't say the exact works "female only" doesn't mean that the way you word your arguments doesn't carry subtext. You're in a debate sub, you cannot be surprised when people contest your method of making argument. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/03/25 09:12 PM |
| 1 | The idea that men are intimidated by successful women is mostly a myth.Fear of your partner cheating on you if she's successful is still fear of her being successful. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/03/25 08:37 PM |

| – | Ladies: The reason why you don't encounter the type of women that men complain is because these type of women are normally decieving you.Difference is men don't deny shitty men exist uhh... yes. plenty of men do. regularly. It's almost like "being shitty" and "covering for shitty people" isn't a gendered trait. It's just a human one. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 31/01/25 04:58 PM |
| – | Ladies: The reason why you don't encounter the type of women that men complain is because these type of women are normally decieving you.Because that's not the same thing at all. Women who don't have any women in their friend group is a potential red flag because they've managed to make every woman they know cut them off as a friend or keep distance. Whereas when guys say "I don't want to date a woman with male friends" what they usually mean is "because i don't trust her not to fuck them" lol | /r/PurplePillDebate | 31/01/25 04:56 PM |
| 1 | Why are women so interested in fictional romance, while seemingly being disinterested in real life romance?It is, but by and large being gay and effeminate wouldn't be a problem if women didn't "punish" men for it. I mean, I don't think I agree with this take. The bulk of the abuse and harassment guys got for being effeminate back in the 2000s when I was in school, was from other guys. It was present even in all-boys schools. Perceived homosexuality is a cultural stigma, not a gender specific one. We've always just kinda put people who are "different" down. It's all a product of the endless feed of r… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 31/01/25 04:53 PM |

| 1 | Q4W: Are you aware that most young men these days are deeply ashamed of their sexuality?There are countries where women literally cover their entire bodies because they're told that if they don't, it's their fault when they get assaulted. When the bar for women "expressing their sexuality" is "visible skin", its hardly surprising a lot of women meet it | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/10/24 03:49 PM |
| – | Why do so many women still have trouble acknowledging that men are way hornier and that this is 100% of the source of their upper hand?it’s just that women can control it better either due to fear There definitely is a factor of how society literally pushes the whole "as a guy you don't have value unless you're sleeping around" and "as a woman you lose value if you're sleeping around" ideas. Because people grow up hearing that and internalise it. It's also rough because they're actively contradictory for straight people. Guy have to want sex.

I would strangle him to death within a month lmao One of them is gorgeous, but the most emotionally unavailable person I've ever met lmao.

A lot of posts I see here, have really distorted ideas about how life is for the opposite sex. And so their entire logic is based on that lack of understanding | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/09/24 12:54 PM |
| 3 | To the female losers here, why won't you date a male loser?This is actually something that took a lot of getting used to for me. I'm not ugly, but im not notably good looking or anything like that. So I kept struggling to reconcile how friends and people I knew would tell me I looked good or compliment me and my outfits/hair/etc., with how invisible I was to people, especially romantically. And it came down to that while I may not have been unattractive, I was never the most attractive person in the room, and so if someone's eyes were wondering it was v… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/09/24 12:49 PM |

And then use the fact that the men she's dating treat her badly as proof women want "chads" who will treat them like shit, and that's why they can't get laid It's like a misogyny onion | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/09/24 11:46 AM |
| 4 | Most "nice guys" drop clear signs that they like you, women just play dumb and pretend its him just jokingThat’s great. I didn’t say “you”. I said a lot of men. There’s a reason “she’s a slut” is such a common putdown directed at women, whether true or not. The idea that she’s easy, is pretty universally acknowledged as a derogatory thing | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/09/24 10:35 PM |

| 3 | Mainly Q4TRP but also for everyone to discuss: Why empowerment and rise of women and girls is a negative thing and can't we have it another way than left or right/ conservative or progressive reggressivism?institution of family is nearly destroyed, and women almost stopped having children. Is this because women have more rights? Or is it because wealth and resources have been siphoned into an ever smaller group of elites, and people can't afford to settle down and have families? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/09/24 02:20 PM |

| 1 | The dating market does not suck for womenNot really. You're trying to make a statement about 100s of millions of people, based on a sample size of 7 The OP showed us 7 good results. They didn't show us how many that was out of. They said that they didn't encounter anything, but I could just as easily grab my 4 worst convos on bumble and ignore the 2 decent ones that happened during the same period, and say "see, it's awful" | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/08/24 02:51 PM |
| 1 | Do women look down upon their husbands/bfHe sees marriage as a transaction that guys lose on, because like a number of rp guys here he fixated on the traditional dynamic where the man financially supports the family, ignoring not only how that isn’t really a thing any more, but also how the woman did plenty of work on her end of things,m | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/08/24 11:01 AM |

| 3 | Do women look down upon their husbands/bfWhat’s funny to me is I see the “hoe phase” stuff being described as something people do from like 18-29, then they hit “the wall” and start wanting to settle down and make a guy provide for them But like… I spent 18-22 in a committed relationship, 23-26 trying to find that again when it didn’t work out, and only really started sleeping around (infrequently) as i approached 30, because I was more confident in myself and who I was, but also because I’m no longer rly looking for a long term relati… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/08/24 10:38 AM |

Ignore the liars' tiny sample size, American-bubble "studies" which "prove women like bad men" and just look at it from a women's self-interest perspective. Bad men will hurt them and make their lives worse.Nuance, almost as difficult a task as not telling women their lived experiences are incorrect. I see it now, nobody has ever successfully gotten laid by hiding their shitty aspects.

| 5 | The dating market does not suck for womenI mean trans ppl do complain about the shitshow that is dating while trans. They just mostly do it to other trans ppl who will get it It’s uniquely weird, trying to navigate the safe area between “will call you slurs / attack you if you tell them”, and “will fetishise you”, because if you say up front, some people swipe specifically to harass you / to fulfill a fetish they have. But if you don’t, some people freak the fuck out when you tell them because you “lied” | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/08/24 01:13 AM |

What's the joke here, that its funny because a group of people that is harassed and targeted constantly for existing, has a high suicide rate? Interesting how people who bring up the 40% thing never talk about how it drops off massively for people in supportive communities, or with access to treatment, etc. It's also about lifetime attempts, not how many people actually do it.

| – | Would you want to be a man?The regret rate is somewhere betweeen 0.1 and 0.5%, not accounting for people who regret it due to outside factors like harassment/abuse etc. The regret rate for laser eye surgery is 10 times the regret rate for gender affirming care of any kind. People are 17 times more likely to regret having children The guy in that video is sad about how he's treated as a guy, but not because he transitioned. It's not transition he regrets, its the mistreatment. sources on the regret rate being <1%: #1 #2 | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/08/24 12:17 AM |

| 2 | Why do women dislike video games and men who play them ?Point me to where I said "men shouldn't enjoy sex". I'm literally talking about something that causes sex to be less pleasurable for you. You're right, overusing a vibrator can also be bad for you for similar reasons. Nowhere did I say it wasn't, you just jumped to assuming I'm a hypocrite. men need to perform a sufficient dick and make her feel good etc. It's so weird that "sex should feel good for both parties" is asking too much in your eyes lmao | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/08/24 06:15 PM |

If i'm chatting to someone and they go "Oh yeah, I'm super into Factorio and Cities Skylines", my first thought isn't misogyny.

But also, "No friends" sounds like gaming is coming at the expense of your life outside of it. And I don't mean that to say "no friends? skill issue".

Rather than addressing the root issue (your partner isn’t aroused) by say, taking steps to fix that (engaging with what turns her on to get her in the mood), just tell her to let you stick your cock down her throat. The lack of erogenous zones in the throat heightens the experience for her That’ll really improve your love life, joyless head from someone who isn’t in the mood for sex.

| 1 | Why "Marriage Material" isn't a compliment to men and being the "hookup guy" is often superiorShe didn't see him as a hookup. That doesn't mean she wouldn't have sex with him. They're dating, they WERE having sex lol. To women, a "hookup" is a casual thing, no emotional attachment. She was saying she doesn't want empty sex, she wants an actual relationship. The only reason for your takeaway to be "she isn't into him sexually" is if you think that being married and getting laid are mutually exclusive. And if that's the case with someone... don't marry them? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/08/24 01:41 PM |

| 1 | Why "Marriage Material" isn't a compliment to men and being the "hookup guy" is often superiorShe may have truly meant it as a compliment, because, to her, communicating that she wants to relegate him to a provider role is a positive thing. But why do you guys see "marriage" and immediate think "relegated to a provider". There are plenty of relationships and marriages where both parties contribute.

| 1 | Why "Marriage Material" isn't a compliment to men and being the "hookup guy" is often superiorIn my experience from the other side, the jerk isn't a jerk at the outset. That's the thing I think a lot of "decent guys" miss. My best friend's ex is awful. But he wasn't awful when they got together. he played the part of a lovely guy, to get her. And once he had her, was when he let the mask slip. And that's also why women are suspicious of "nice guys". Because often the "nice" exists solely to get in our pants.

| 1 | Why are women so interested in fictional romance, while seemingly being disinterested in real life romance?then romance movies and books are porn for woman that can cause all the same problems in a relationship that men watching porn can cause. And I think this is true tbh. Both have a problem that if you let it become a replacement for real connection, it can consume you and stunt your ability to form those connections I love romance stories but I also understand that’s not how real life romance usually goes.
