1	Men can and should vet their partners "Be discerning and restrained about what you eat" is very different advice from "Stop eating real food."	/r/PurplePillDebate	21/01/19 08:38 PM
1	Men can and should vet their partners The right perspective is that "sex drive" is culturally inculcated, not a biological need. The need for companionship may go a bit deeper, but confusing companionship with sex would be a mistake. My view is not callous or ignorant. Refraining from sex until you find someone you trust and respect is quite feasible and beneficial. I did it.	/r/PurplePillDebate	20/01/19 06:47 PM
3	Men can and should vet their partners It's called appeal to extremes, among other things.	/r/PurplePillDebate	20/01/19 06:26 AM
1	Men can and should vet their partners That doesn't make it sensible or justifiable. It's not like it's a fundamental need, like water. You can go without indefinitely without health consequences, including mental health if you have the right perspective.	/r/PurplePillDebate	20/01/19 05:36 AM
0	Men can and should vet their partners That's not what I was doing. I was pointing out that the argument used by the GP is a fallacy, because it could equally be used to justify eating broken glass.	/r/PurplePillDebate	20/01/19 05:31 AM
4	Men can and should vet their partners The thirsty risk death. Restraint about casual sex risks missing a little pleasure.	/r/PurplePillDebate	19/01/19 09:18 PM
-1	Men can and should vet their partners doesn't mean other men can't be fans of casual sex I can't stop anyone from being a fan of eating broken glass, but that doesn't change the harm or foolishness of it.	/r/PurplePillDebate	19/01/19 09:16 PM
4	Q4All: Does Mackensie Bezos (wife of Jeff Bezos) 'deserve' half of 'his' wealth now that they are divorcing? Why or why not? I mean, if we're talking about reality, the law is a part of reality, and her stake will be determined by that.	/r/PurplePillDebate	10/01/19 06:13 AM
17	Q4All: Does Mackensie Bezos (wife of Jeff Bezos) 'deserve' half of 'his' wealth now that they are divorcing? Why or why not? The more interesting question is whether Bezos deserves to be that wealthy in the first place.	/r/PurplePillDebate	10/01/19 03:34 AM
2	[Critique my reasoning] Women would rather be with a man who sends her on an emotional rollercoaster than be with someone boring and predictable (but reliable). But they'll never admit it. [Critique my reasoning] Your post is a logically disconnected string of assertions, and I'm not seeing much to explain why you believe those assertions. I.e., there's very little reasoning here to critique.	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/01/19 03:24 PM
1	Men hate duty sex Thanks.	/r/PurplePillDebate	05/01/19 06:18 PM

0	How do you form an LTR, as a man, knowing the dangers it entails? Assuming everything/almost everything TRP philosophy suggests about female nature (that women are manipulative, calculating and utilitarian when it comes to relationships by nature) and about how society treats women more favourably compared to men to be true Big ifs!! It's good you call it "philosophy," because that's what this is. There is no empirical basis for most TRP beliefs. TRP philosophy suggests (I am trying to be as objective and unbiased as possible) that women lose attraction to a m…	/r/PurplePillDebate	02/01/19 02:41 AM
1	PSA to all redpills My gender is irrelevant. Courage, service, inventiveness, discipline, generosity, gentleness, restraint, good humor, effective collaboration; these are worthy qualities. Generating copies of our DNA is just what we've been optimized for. That doesn't mean it's worthwhile.	/r/PurplePillDebate	01/01/19 07:36 AM
2	PSA to all redpills Reproductive capability is not the only form of worthiness. In fact it's not even in the top 10.	/r/PurplePillDebate	01/01/19 06:35 AM
2	Why do redpillers call themselves alphas when the majority of the sub can't even outfuck the average guy? All religious people have faith in whatever brand of salvation they subscribe to, or they don't stay religious long.	/r/PurplePillDebate	01/01/19 06:32 AM
6	Women HATE beta's who improve themselves Yeah, people are reliably hostile to perceived-low-status others who are acting with confidence. It's a central psychological component of misogyny and racism.	/r/PurplePillDebate	01/01/19 02:00 AM
1	The Purge - Announcement (2018) Cultural background, for anyone as perplexed as I was by this.	/r/PurplePillDebate	31/12/18 07:11 PM
9	How can a man know if it is ok to ask a woman on a date? How can a man know of it is ok to ask a girl out? Subtle cues like the following... I know it's obscure, but you'd think someone studying cultural anthropology could pick up on it... I really appreciate your feedback about my class and choreography, but these messages are getting excessive. I think our friendship needs to remain in the professional setting. Many of the things you say, like that Instagram comment for example, is over the top and I wouldn’t be comfortable hanging out outside of my…	/r/PurplePillDebate	30/12/18 04:59 AM
2	Sex in a marriage is a mandatory part of the deal. So you want duty sex, huh? What about the rest. The law is imposed by the sovereign institutions of the nation, which naturally care more about the legitimacy, security and productivity of themselves, the nation, and its citizens, in that order, than they do about preserving historical iniquities. It's very naive to imagine that the law has anything more than an accidental relationship to how humans would relate in a brute state of nature.	/r/PurplePillDebate	30/12/18 02:10 AM
2	Sex in a marriage is a mandatory part of the deal. So you want duty sex, huh? What about the rest. I'm just stating the black-and-white consequences of such behavior. If you physically force someone to have sex with you, that's definitionally rape, and a criminal act. As far as I can tell, though I am no lawyer, it ought also to be a federal offense. I have no conceit about who is better, but I do know I would be ashamed and mortified to even consider doing that.	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/12/18 06:17 AM

4	Sex in a marriage is a mandatory part of the deal. So you want duty sex, huh? What about the rest. I mean how can a wife or even a girlfriend deny a man sex? We're way bigger than you. That's rape, and is a crime even in states where prohibitions against rape give consideration to marital status.	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/12/18 05:20 AM

1	Would you rather marry a man who’s a virgin, or a man who’s had over 30 sexual partners? OP should do a post on bad life outcomes for men with high n-count, next.	/r/PurplePillDebate	26/12/18 05:35 PM
1	Which is preferable? Is there any other common ground in the appeal for you of Dugin and Starikov?	/r/PurplePillDebate	26/12/18 03:46 AM

0	Q4M : How would you react if you have doubts / find out you've been lied about being the biological father of your children? I meant extrinsic to the rules which shaped us, not necessarily extrinsic to the individual.	/r/PurplePillDebate	24/12/18 08:25 PM
0	Q4M : How would you react if you have doubts / find out you've been lied about being the biological father of your children? Do you think interrogating the roots and merits of widespread obsessions is going to lead to the end of civilization, or something?	/r/PurplePillDebate	24/12/18 08:09 PM
-1	Q4M : How would you react if you have doubts / find out you've been lied about being the biological father of your children? That is an invidious question. Another question would be, does prioritizing biological reproduction still have any merit, given our recent understanding that it arose from cultural and biological selection for reproductive fitness? Once you know the rules of the game which shaped you, you're not obliged to keep playing by those rules. To do so without a compelling extrinsic reason is atavistic.	/r/PurplePillDebate	24/12/18 06:29 PM
1	Q4Men Why would I want to get married young if I can’t be a stay at home mom? WITH ALIMONY protection if I get divorced. It doesn't have to be like that. People don't assess each other just in terms of appearance, especially as they get to know each other well and depend on each other for support.	/r/PurplePillDebate	24/12/18 05:18 AM

1	CMV: While men do cheat, a man would be far less likely than a woman to try to justify their cheating in such a shameless, selfish, pathetic manner as below ("should have been more empathetic towards her internal conflicts and supported her through her journey") Your expressed view is too vague to engage. Firstly, it's a question of prevalence. What information would change your view on such a question, apart from a survey interrogating the frequency such behavior? Secondly, "such a shameless, selfish, pathetic manner as below..." Do you mean men aren't so shameless, selfish and pathetic in their justifications for cheating, or that their justifications don't involve narcissistic expectations like this, of "support" from friends for bad behavior? If the…	/r/PurplePillDebate	21/12/18 01:38 AM
1	Women are more insecure about their N-count than men could ever be about it This paper describes the first neural-net architecture which reached human performance on a simple image-recognition task, an extremely basic prerequisite. Try to fit that in a kilobyte.	/r/PurplePillDebate	17/12/18 06:42 AM
1	Women are more insecure about their N-count than men could ever be about it It only seems simple to you because you've been swimming in the foundational concepts and perceptual capabilities your whole life. I doubt you could fit the complete description of a machine to reliably recognize female promiscuity into a gigabyte, and that's a very loose upper bound of what can be represented in a human genome.	/r/PurplePillDebate	17/12/18 05:29 AM
1	Women are more insecure about their N-count than men could ever be about it It's extremely elaborate from the perspective of what it would take to encode recognition of it into a primate genome and read it back out.	/r/PurplePillDebate	17/12/18 03:09 AM
1	Women are more insecure about their N-count than men could ever be about it we should strive to understand our innate biological predisposition instead of ignoring it; if nothing else, simply to overcome them. Totally agree.	/r/PurplePillDebate	16/12/18 10:32 PM
1	Women are more insecure about their N-count than men could ever be about it That sounds like a reasonable position.	/r/PurplePillDebate	16/12/18 09:44 PM
1	Women are more insecure about their N-count than men could ever be about it Criticizing people's sexual behavior is a slippery slope, too. A post like this with derogatory conclusions about gay lifestyles would also be unacceptable.	/r/PurplePillDebate	16/12/18 09:38 PM
1	Women are more insecure about their N-count than men could ever be about it Well, it certainly does. Earlier someone asked me whether I thought sexual racial preferences are acceptable. Let's stipulate that they are. That doesn't mean it's OK for people to get on reddit and explain why they find the idea of sex with a certain racial group disgusting.	/r/PurplePillDebate	16/12/18 08:58 PM
2	Women are more insecure about their N-count than men could ever be about it evolution certainly influences our behavior and the traits we find attractive While that's certainly true, the claim that disgust at female promiscuity has a biologically determined evolutionary basis is much stronger, and there is no convincing reason for believing it. I don't see how the same argument can be applied to justify xenophobic disgust at all E.g., "There were strong evolutionary pressures towards fear and hatred towards outsiders. You can clearly see it in operation in nonhuman soci…	/r/PurplePillDebate	16/12/18 08:55 PM
1	Women are more insecure about their N-count than men could ever be about it It's not just a private concern if you're repeatedly voicing your disgust about it, and justifying that disgust in terms of unconvincing social science results, on reddit.	/r/PurplePillDebate	16/12/18 08:49 PM
1	Women are more insecure about their N-count than men could ever be about it The biological basis for aversion to fire is perhaps learning from pain, or perhaps fear of the unfamiliar. These are simple, essential cognitive patterns, and it's easy to see how they could pass through the information bottleneck of genetic transmission. Female promiscuity is an elaborate concept, and there's no obvious way for that to be encoded in the genome. And lower primates do have culture, and cultural transmission.	/r/PurplePillDebate	16/12/18 07:19 PM
1	Women are more insecure about their N-count than men could ever be about it The point is that the same argument can be used to reach a different conclusion which is outrageous (in this case that xenophobic disgust is acceptable), and therefore that the argument used to justify the first conclusion is fallacious. I wasn't assuming that the first conclusion was outrageous to begin with.	/r/PurplePillDebate	16/12/18 07:14 PM
1	Women are more insecure about their N-count than men could ever be about it A lot of atavistic cognition arises from the limbic system, and a lot of civilized behavior depends on taming it.	/r/PurplePillDebate	16/12/18 07:11 PM
1	Women are more insecure about their N-count than men could ever be about it It's a common rhetorical/logic device, to show that an argument is fallacious by applying the same reasoning to reach an outrageous conclusion.	/r/PurplePillDebate	16/12/18 07:32 AM
1	Women are more insecure about their N-count than men could ever be about it That doesn't follow.	/r/PurplePillDebate	16/12/18 07:26 AM
4	Women are more insecure about their N-count than men could ever be about it http://pin.primate.wisc.edu/factsheets/entry/bonobo/behav Yes, it was a concern for our ancestors, but the idea that there's a biological basis for disgust at female promiscuity is highly speculative. No plausible biological mechanism has been proposed, whereas cultural transmission of such mores is obviously plausible. What, exactly, about modern genetics makes this concern ativistic? Paternity testing, of course. The heart wants what it wants You could make the same argument for racism based o…	/r/PurplePillDebate	16/12/18 07:15 AM
2	Women are more insecure about their N-count than men could ever be about it That's a completely atavistic concern given modern genetics, and your implication that disgust at female promiscuity has some biologically determined evolutionary basis is highly speculative.	/r/PurplePillDebate	16/12/18 06:53 AM

4	How would BP respond to these images of CDC divorce data? Dating is not a job interview or a low-information bet. At least, it shouldn't be. You can abandon the relationship with no cost at any time up to marriage, and you should be learning about you partner in great detail, making deception very hard to pull off.	/r/PurplePillDebate	15/12/18 04:50 PM

14	CMV: Baby It's Cold Outside is a perfect example of LMR It's just how girls are. They want a man to "take them" and "ravage them". Putting up token resistance plays into this fantasy. The idea that all women think this way is the "rapey" part.	/r/PurplePillDebate	06/12/18 07:02 PM
5	CMV: Baby It's Cold Outside is a perfect example of LMR The concept of LMR as something a man has to push through to get a woman to have sex with him is the "rapey" part, and the song is harmful to the extent it promotes that concept. As other people have said ITT, it's an out of date concept. A woman doesn't need an alibi, these days, and if you're pursuing sex with someone who thinks she does, it's best to find someone less conflicted. That said, it's a cute song, and it's not that hard to keep in mind how the context has shifted since it was writt…	/r/PurplePillDebate	06/12/18 02:28 PM
