| 9 | What are some things TRPillers say that don't match with your personal experiences?A few things: 1. Way too focused on casual sex as a validation for men. Sex is awesome, so are many other things in life. Don't live your life for sex alone. In addition, generally the sex is better if you know the person at least a little. 2. Too anti-beta bux. Beta Bux make the world go around, are the backbone of society, they raise kids, do the hard work, pay taxes and honestly, many of them are perfectly happy. 3. Overly focused on n-count. You'd be better off marrying someone who has a pro… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/11/15 05:50 PM |
| -1 | Free Speech Dying due to Political CorrectnessI didn't think Britain has free speech at least in the sense that we understand it on this side of the pond. In any event, many people are losing their jobs here because of what they tweet, say on the radio, etc...free speech protects from government prosecution, not economic consequence. That said, it's out of hand. It's one of the reasons I'll never post anything online outside of a purely anonymous context (and yes,I use Tor, anonymous email accounts when setting up other accounts and the lik… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/11/15 05:32 PM |
| 1 | CMV: male attractiveness peaks in the 20s, not the mid-30s/early 40s like TRP claims.I thought James Bond was more "male fantasy" as well except that: 1. My own wife (who is close to my age so Bond is a younger man) booked the tickets and she usually doesn't want to see "action" movies. 2. There were significantly more women than men in the theater, big groups of them were younger women in groups. This as as I pointed off caught me by surprise. I'm in my 50's myself. I have no illusions about the fact that I'm generally invisible to ladies in their 20's outside of a work context… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/11/15 04:14 PM |
| 2 | CMV: male attractiveness peaks in the 20s, not the mid-30s/early 40s like TRP claims.Yes, though it seemed he was more using her for information and soothing her rather than pursuing for her own sake.

| 2 | CMV: male attractiveness peaks in the 20s, not the mid-30s/early 40s like TRP claims.Didn't we just have this same topic a few weeks ago? In any event, I just went to opening night of Spectre the other night at my local iPic. I was surprised to find it full of large groups of young attractive women dressed up to see a 47 year old actor playing Bond have sex with women in their 20's in between shooting and blowing things up (while drinking martinis and dressing quite well). Can you name a similar example with a 47 year old actress getting young males to dress up and come watch th… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/11/15 08:22 AM |
| 2 | "Divorce Shaming" is just another acceptance of divorce culture by feminists: How does this fit into TRP vs BP paradigms?Makes sense. Thanks for a respectful exchange of opinions and good luck in your choices. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/11/15 03:53 AM |
| 1 | "Divorce Shaming" is just another acceptance of divorce culture by feminists: How does this fit into TRP vs BP paradigms?Don't get me wrong, if the marriage is a truly unhappy place and people can't stop fighting in front of their kids, Divorce may be the only option. I am not actually against "No Fault" divorce, for example. At the same time, I think people have very unrealistic expectations about marriage or life should be some times and don't always fully understand the consequences of their actions. It's interesting that you like many people here both from blue and the red side seem to have negative views on m… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/11/15 03:29 AM |
| 1 | How do you determine if a woman is strong and independent? What does this term mean for you?If strong and independent meant able to take care of themselves, a fully functioning member of society not dependent on others or the government, one who takes responsibility for their own actions, then I'm all for more women being strong and independent. If on the other hand it means she's going to be mouthy bitch who tells everybody else how to live and what to do, likes to expound to the world how she doesn't need a man, but wants to tax them heavily so she can live off of their means, no tha… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/11/15 02:01 AM |
| 5 | "Divorce Shaming" is just another acceptance of divorce culture by feminists: How does this fit into TRP vs BP paradigms?It's a stretch to call it shaming, that was my point. You are right, no reason a women's magazine should write about men but the challenge is that there really is very little out there beyond the manosphere which talks about what men do go through in a divorce. Men tend to be portrayed as the bad guys in popular media about divorce and this plays over into suburban culture. I also think people do jump to divorce way too quickly these days. If Kids aren't involved, I couldn't care less but if kid… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/11/15 01:17 AM |
| 2 | "Divorce Shaming" is just another acceptance of divorce culture by feminists: How does this fit into TRP vs BP paradigms?How is questioning your friend on whether she is sure the same as "Divorce Shaming"? I compare this to the complete social ostracization that almost any male in my wife's and my shared social circle has gone through when they have divorced and it seems like they missing what true divorce shaming is. Of course, no one at any of these magazines ever writes about what men go through because that's not who buys their crap. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/11/15 12:53 AM |
| 4 | Red Pill sets young losers up for failurePerhaps it's a better example, but everybody knows the quarterback gets the girls. Reality is that genetics plays a fairly big part in whether one will be able to play D1 football just as it also does whether you'll be able to be a rock star level Software Engineer at a top tier company or whether you will be able to naturally attract women. If you are lacking the genetics, you have to compensate in other ways. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/11/15 06:04 AM |

| 15 | Red Pill sets young losers up for failureYou can't have a relationship if you can't get someone interested in you in the first place. I'll be the first to agree with you that trp is not a great place to go for advice in "lasting relationships", that's not their focus. No doubt a D1 quarterback works hard but so does the average engineering student. Guess which one doesn't have to do anything additional to get attention from women? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/11/15 12:00 AM |
| 1 | What's your opinion on the gender gap in the tech industry?Those include disciplines like HR which are almost 100% female. None of these companies has anywhere near that percent of actual engineers. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/11/15 11:44 PM |
| 1 | What's your opinion on the gender gap in the tech industry?I've been in tech for over 25 years, in both start-ups and large software companies. When I first started there were almost zero female programmers around me, now it's up to around 15%. As an employer, I try to hard to recruit them...there just aren't that may to choose from. Why do we want them? Multiple reasons exist for it. 1. They make the work place a little bit more fun. Don't know about you, but 25 years in a pure sausage factory can get old. 2. The best ones are awesome to work with, the… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/11/15 11:39 PM |
| 29 | Red Pill sets young losers up for failureWhile I don't agree 100% with trp, I think by definition young "losers" are failing already, that's why they are turning to the red pill (those that don't just give up, stay in the basement and play video games all day) . It may not help 100% of them, but I don't think it's to blame for additional failure. As to who you should ask...should you ask the 6'4" college quarterback about how to stop being a loser? He probably didn't have to do much to get there, he was born with the right tools. OTOH,… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/11/15 11:23 PM |
| 2 | Is there ever a case where a woman should not be respected?Perhaps you should look up the definition of the world first. Respect isn't the same as showing them kindness or courtesy. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/11/15 11:12 PM |
| 0 | Do you agree with this comment? Why are why not?There is real sexism in the sense that there those who would discriminate against someone just because of their gender in a situation where gender isn't a factor...for example employment in a job that doesn't require specific physical requirements. Unfortunately, modern political correctness likes to expand the definitions of sexism, racism, etc...to a point of ridiculousness that diminishes the real cases. edit: spelling | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/11/15 09:56 PM |
| 2 | Q4RP (but all can answer): Do men send women mixed signals too?I think that modern culture has created a situation where both men and women get contradictory views from the media, other men and other women. It's not restricted to men sending these signals to women or the other way around. Say what you want about the restrictive views of the previous generations but at least expectations were somewhat clear: 1) Men were supposed to be masculine, get a job and get married, support their wives. 2) Women were supposed to be feminine, get married, have kids.

| 1 | CMV: All men should be taught the theory of "Schrodinger's False Rape Accuser"If you go through life worried about the worst possible thing that could happen in any given circumstance, you'll live a very stressful and/or lonely life. Would you for example assume that every person you meet could be "Schrodinger's Serial Killer" and you won't find the outcome till they have either killed you or not killed you? Serial Killers, False rape accusers, even rapists aren't really that common.

| 2 | What is more important for an average man? 1. Be attractive or 2. Don't be unattractiveThere is an old song that goes "You have to accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative and don't mess with mr. in between". I think there is some truth to it in the since that there are some traits will take you out of the conversation completely (being obese for example) but having a major strength can put you up there without being great across the board (think Ed Sheeran or Billy Joel, neither is classically attractive, but are great singer/songwriters from their respective eras). | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/11/15 09:26 PM |
| 6 | Is there ever a case where a woman should not be respected?Respect is something earned. Many women have earned my respect as have many men. By default you don't get it just by being a woman or a man though. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/11/15 09:18 PM |

| 2 | Is sex about power?Power is about way more than just sex. Sex can be used to get power and power can be used to get sex, but to believe that sex is just about power is taking it too far. As to the quote,In Oscar Wilde's time, sex was the most powerful tool at any women's disposal, but nowadays there are a lot of tools at hand. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/11/15 01:48 AM |
| 1 | Men discussing the negative aspects of female sexual nature on a large scale is a NEW conceptLarge scale public discussions of any sort are a relatively new concept. Before the internet, most ideas where broadcast by the few to the many or discussed by small groups of people. OTOH, men discussing the nature of women has been going for a very long time in small groups and mens hangout spaces. Many men would say things privately they would never say out in the open.

| 2 | "Beta men are rational and cooperative, alpha men usually act on instincts"/do you agree with this point of view?I think that alpha men are generally bigger risk takers. You could argue that is less rational, but at the same time, If they have had more success and fewer failures, then it's possibly they just don't perceive the same level of risk that a beta would in the same situation. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/09/15 03:40 AM |
| 2 | Why we shouldn't be encouraging teenage boys to go to the gymI'll be honest and say that I actually do think anyone under age 16 in a gym should be in a class or with an adult trainer. I started my lifting in school as part of our football program many years ago and we had trainers to work with us, teach us to breath properly, proper technique, etc. I also agree that kids under that age should also participate in some team sports that help with agility and coordination as well as male camaraderie, learning to work with a team, etc...

| 1 | Why do TRPillers hate on the field of psychology so much ?I'm not a pure redpill, but while I enjoyed taking psych classes in college many years ago for a very easy A, I have never considered it a real science. Most of these guys are just making shit up with no proof behind it. Same with all of the other "soft sciences".

I like my own boys better when they are dating someone, they are much easier to get along with, more responsible and better humans. This is also generally true for most of my employees and business partners. Single men can be very shallow, self-centered and lazy. Ad… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/09/15 02:22 PM |
| 1 | CMV: Movies don't exist to turn men into beta bux , they simply satisfy some people's fantasiesHollywood is there to make money, so yes, they make moves for the purpose of making money based on what they perceive most people want to hear. The challenge is that that the people who make them tend to be relatively liberal folks who live in the west coast and spend all of their time around other people with similar interests, so their perceptions are somewhat sku'd around politically correct views (of which feminism is one). | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/09/15 03:35 PM |
| 1 | The AF-BB dichotomy is a very flawed concept.The thing that has always bugged me about it is that I don't really associate the classic pre trp meanings of beta with bux. In my life experience, the true alpha personalities are getting the bux and the fux. The beta's may work for us and be useful but are not pulling in the big money. All of the 10's (and most of the 9's) I have ever known are with guys that have money, looks and social status. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/09/15 06:15 AM |

There may be a few guys out there with extremely shy personalities or who have great genes but are overweight with a bad hair cut and horrible hygiene perhaps, but my guess is that's not the normal set of people who come to TRP in the first place.

| 4 | Why do white men have to let it be known they don't find black women attractiveIt's the internet, people regularly say hateful stuff they wouldn't say in person. They pick on short guys, asian/indian guys, nerdy guys with beards, fat people and unfortunately, black women. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/09/15 03:27 PM |
| 2 | Do women ever not wants babies? Or is it that women don't want babies with beta men?I don't think these 2 people should have kids together. Too many issues to bring kids into the equation, period. Once you have kids you are committing to a co-parent relationship with your partner no matter what happens to the marriage. A lot of relationships fall apart after a miscarriage. It's happen to several couples I know over the years. Losing a kid at any age can also have this effect. Sometimes women blame themselves or their partner or just believe they are unworthy. His reaction to th… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/09/15 05:40 AM |
| 3 | Am I the only one who feels that the red pill has a "fox and grape" mentality towards white women?First off, I don't really think the issue whether the girl is white or blonde, but more a factor of how they are raised. If a girl is raised with a doting dad in the American upper middle class to believe that she is a princess, it doesn't matter if she is black, white, Jewish, Asian or anything else, she's going to have very difficult expectations to meet. My younger son went to a somewhat exclusive private school, the girls that went there had extremely high expectations no matter what their r… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/09/15 05:29 AM |
| 2 | CMV: Men are more entitled than women.I don't think you and I think of entitlement the same way. When I think of entitlement, I generally follow the definition in that it's the belief that one is inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment. Negotiating one's salary based on what your value is or trying to find the best partner you can find doesn't make you entitled, it's just trying to get the maximum value for your efforts. Your classroom example is possibly a better one, although having seen the way boys are treated in… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/09/15 05:16 AM |

Join a good fraternity, go to parties, score. It's that simple. if you are a nerd or geek type in engineering who studies hard through college, didn't have any success in high school with women, are reasonably normal looking, etc. You come out of school, get a great job (big 4 software companies offer 100k plus right ou… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/09/15 06:03 PM |

I said 30'ish (title is as they "enter their 30's").

It does seem that 100% of my divorced friends have used it across the 40's and 50's age range and 100% of them had success getting dates and even have kicked off medium term relationships using it. Is this something where it's more effective for older divorced people than younger guys? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/09/15 04:20 PM |
| 1 | Anyone else think the red pill is just lying to itself about the game getting better and more fun for men as they enter their 30s?I think some people have very sku'd view of 30 year old men. Most men in that age range are not balding (although a very sad few do), most of us don't start that till mid to late 40's (I'm in my 50's and using all the science I can to fight that battle)... Most men in that range who are fat were either always fat or married. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/09/15 04:16 PM |

In my era, slut was usually defined by other women and it meant "Someone I don't want my boyfriend/husband (or potential bf/husbands) around because I think she is giving sex away too easily" or possibly just someone I don't like. It was also often a "class thing". A rich sorority girl could get away with sleeping around, but anyone from a lower middle class or below ba… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/09/15 09:49 PM |

A few quick background elements: 1. I work anywhere from 40 to 80 hours in a given week, depending on whether I am in town, out of town, on call, etc. 2.

| 1 | Some thoughts on this whole 'women in tech' thing...I've been been hiring engineers for over 25 years. I've had some great female engineers during that time, but hiring them is really hard because there are so few resumes from women to pick from in the first place. When I go to a college for a screen, I'll get maybe 1-2 women and 20-30 guys. Of the women I do end up seeing, the vast majority come from countries that you might say have "less" equality.

The flip side of that would be that men hold that the act of a woman being intimate is very special as well, because that is the way our culture in action seems to hold it.

| 2 | Humans utilize a dualistic approach to matingDo people have a dualistic approach to mating? Maybe, depends on how you look at it. To me there may be a simpler explanation. Women want to optimize their own internal needs and wants with social status. What constitutes social status changes over time.

I'm guessing it's on a lot of peoples checklist no matter what pill or belief system (with the possible exception of the young ladies into Charles Manson). | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/08/15 02:54 AM |
| 9 | TRP is not a cult. I know what they are now more than ever, and TRP isn't it. Toxic Religion is.I grew up in the south a long time ago. The biggest "sluts" I knew back then were preachers daughters with Baptist's having a big edge on the rest. There is a lot of hypocrisy in those circles, with the same people doing the slut shaming being some of the ones who were sleeping around the most. My mom had a real habit at trying to steer me towards girls she thought were "good" girls that turned out be some of the easiest at a time when things on the surface were much different than now.. I think… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/08/15 02:48 AM |
| 1 | Why do two of the most popular romantic movies movies of all time seem against the concept of hypergamy?It's funny. My wife always hated the Titanic. She laughed and said any woman with a brain would go with the dude with a lifeboat and a gun over the loser who is going to freeze to death. She also thinks Decaprio looked like skinny teenage wimp. She did like the "Notebook" though. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/08/15 01:24 AM |
| 1 | redpillers: Doesn't the redpill help women improve on their shit testing skills?Women have been shit testing for thousands of years. I don't think a reddit sub read by a very relatively small corner of the internet is going to have any impact on their skills. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/08/15 01:19 AM |
| 1 | CMV: Wealth and High Social Status are not sexually attractiveWhether or not it generates sexual attraction, it can certainly generate sex and the illusion of sexual attraction. At my age, I am perfectly happy with that...I'm not going to get much better looking with age, but I will continue to get more interesting and richer. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/08/15 01:16 AM |
| 1 | TRP is a natural responseAnd frankly, why does everybody need to drive a Ferrari? What's wrong with a sensible four-door sedan? I agree completely..as long as your definition of a sensible four door sedan is an AMG E63 or perhaps a BMW M5. I find both more practical for daily use than a Ferrari. edit: mistyped single for sensible | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/08/15 06:22 AM |
| 1 | Daily Fail describes a pop-analysis of AF/BB and beyond on the eve of TRP's creation. Both pills, share how closely this correlates with your dating experience.the fact that it's not free may actually improve the data in the sense that it's likely to have people who are more serious about finding a relationship and weed out those just playing around. I would agree that not being free probably does exclude more young people though. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/08/15 05:44 AM |
| 1 | 'Hinge' - the anti-Tinder dating appWasn't this sorta the 2nd incarnation of friendster before it was retooled as a social gaming thing? Obviously despite being one of the first to build a social network, it didn't workout that well over the long term. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/08/15 05:06 AM |
| 2 | CMV: AWALT can not lead to a healthy connection.I'll have to take your word for it. I'd be very surprised if I weren't right on more than one. Either that or your in academia. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/08/15 05:51 PM |
| 2 | CMV: AWALT can not lead to a healthy connection.You are right, I don't know you. I am guessing based on the typical demographics of this sub and your flair that you are: 1) Under 30 (probably much younger) 2) Left of center 3) Probably haven't had a long marriage and raised kids to the college age. 4) Probably haven't had a job where you manage 10's, 100's or 1000's of people. I find it quite interesting the number of experts on relationships on reddit who have never experienced marriage or ltr's past the early years (the first 7 years or til… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/08/15 05:38 PM |
| 2 | CMV: AWALT can not lead to a healthy connection.Not at all, I have lots of people I respect, like and even love...you'll find as you become more experienced with life that it's much easier to get along with people if you accept them for who they are rather than assuming they are something they are not. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/08/15 04:26 PM |
| 1 | Society encourages women to ruthlessly pursue their own self-interest. Why shouldn't TRP tell the same to men?I already believe most people ruthlessly pursue their own interest. Some just aren't very good at it. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/08/15 04:20 PM |
| 2 | CMV: AWALT can not lead to a healthy connection.I would argue exactly the opposite. If you believe all people have their own goals and priorities that differ from yours, every connection in your life will be easier. Never assume anyone ever really puts your interests above their own, because no matter how altruistic they believe they are, they are still programmed to act in their own bests interests. There may be rare exceptions, but that's just what they are, rare exceptions. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/08/15 04:15 PM |
| 1 | CMV: Women are only attracted to the top 20% of men.Do you believe very shy young person who has trouble approaching women needs a therapist? If that's the case, we are going to need a lot more therapists. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/08/15 01:29 AM |
| 2 | The Donald: Misogynist, or just an uncouth dick?Out of curiosity, do you believe that anyone who criticizes any black person anywhere is a racist? What if you criticize a specific group of black people like the rioters in Baltimore or the protesters who jumped on stage in Seattle? What if you criticize our president who happens to be black? If I criticize Hilary would I be a sexist or misogynist? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/08/15 01:21 AM |
| 1 | The Donald: Misogynist, or just an uncouth dick?Trump is someone with a massive ego who responds to anyone who questions him with a personal attack, no matter their race, gender or political persuasion. I don't think he is a great candidate for president and I really dislike his attacks on Megyn, but I don't think they come from misogyny. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/08/15 01:18 AM |
| 2 | It's Not Misogyny or Smelly, Disheveled Male Nerds Keeping Women Out of STEM [The Register]Biology, Chemistry (and I just guessing from your handle that your in Chemistry) and other common premed fields have way more women than CompSci, EE, etc. at most colleges. It's interesting, I've been looking at schools for my younger son. He's going in to CS/EE but the ratio of male to female is bothering him a bit..especially if you go to one the more focused tech schools like CIT, MIT, GT, etc. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/08/15 04:13 AM |
| 2 | Are red pillers deluded to think that born betas can raise their SMV enough to have lots of casual sex with reasonably good looking women?Let's just say off the bat - Some people are doomed. If you have no intelligence, talent or physical attributes, you are screwed. However, if you are reasonably smart or talented in some way, you can work hard and become successful which raises social status and that combined with hard work in the gym, great cloths and confidence will get you somewhere after college. If your physical attributes are ok (decent face, height, right type of body), you can put in the effort much earlier and you'll do… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/08/15 03:40 PM |
| 5 | What can we learn from the recent feminist backlash to the r/menslib sub?What I find sad is people who can't handle anyone else who disagrees with them. The whole concept of safe spaces and increasing small sub-groups of people who only agree with each other is not a good thing for our culture...you need to have your ideas challenged in order to grow. Downvotes are no big deal. I am a republican who has dared to post on /r/politics in the past (on a previous more doxable account), now that's a way to grab some quick downvotes. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/08/15 03:28 PM |
| 1 | All hands on deck: Sex botsHmm...I watched "Ex Machina" the other night, good movie. Perhaps the real Turing test will be whether you can tell if she is a bot during sex...Can it/she fake an orgasm better than your girlfriend/wife? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/08/15 06:45 AM |
| 3 | Why do TRPillers often criticize /r/TheBluePill sub for nitpicking some extreme examples , when they often do the same thing ?Actually the article exists to promote a book that was published in 2005 and has been around since then and still sold today. Candace Bushnell of Sex and the City fame is even listed as a contributor to the book. I don't think it's an extreme element of anything, more of attempt to mix humor and lifestyle advice. More or less a typical example of the way western pop culture represents men on a regular basis. I also am not terribly offended by it, there are far worse things out there. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/08/15 10:54 PM |
| 14 | In Which Roosh V is Assaulted in Montreal, CanadaI saw the video, it appeared he had a mob following him (with some guys in it as well) and shouting at him in addition to the physical confrontation. That would certainly be an extremely scary situation. I don't know if he called the police or not. I agree having people threaten you with a more specific threat that includes an address is worse than the typical online threats, but I don't necessarily think it was a real immediate threat. (maybe it was, if you have a family you have to take it ser… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/08/15 08:33 PM |
| 20 | In Which Roosh V is Assaulted in Montreal, CanadaAre you trying to draw an equivalence between physical confrontation and assault as well as driving him out of a place of business and anonymous threats by internet trolls, something a lot of public figures put up with all of the time (I imagine Roosh gets his share of these as well) ? Heck even I had had random trolls threaten me, it's not that abnormal, but other than to make sure I am fully anonymous I don't sweat it. Physical confrontation is a completely different beast. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/08/15 07:52 PM |
| 1 | As a non-american, how representative is reddit of USA/western Europe?It's how they self describe. I'd prefer not to call them liberal either as they certainly aren't classical liberal. I'd could call them socialist or leftist perhaps. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/08/15 05:20 PM |
| 2 | Female strategic response to TRP & PUADoesn't TRP say something like "Don't ask the fish how to be caught"? All she is doing is going back to a model from an earlier era that worked fairly well for getting someone committed. If she and her friends are attractive and portray a certain amount of class, it will likely work for her. In my younger days, a lot of men (especially alphas) had their own version of AFBB where you slept with sluts and dated/married the "good girl" (the one you could take home to mom). RP talks about low partne… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/08/15 05:15 PM |
| 1 | Question for every oneEquality of outcome is a dangerous thing because the reality is that it's almost impossible to lift some people up as they will just drop back down again. It's far easier to tear others down which will eventually bring your whole system down. While some safety net is necessary, it really needs to be restricted in a way that it never creates a permanent dependency class unless you are not able bodied or of sound mind. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/08/15 06:29 AM |
| 7 | Female strategic response to TRP & PUASeems very familiar, like the way a lot of young women handled it back when I was young in the 80's. I even think there was a book out that recommended something very similar to this called "The Rules". | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/08/15 01:24 AM |
| 1 | As a non-american, how representative is reddit of USA/western Europe?I think it's a popular mindset for the media and academia. Because young people are more vulnerable to influence from both of these and generally have fewer counteracting life experiences to draw upon, they also tend to be common with young people. Amongst people over 35 working in the private sector, it's not really as representative, especially outside of the most progressive cities. Reddit is demographically very young and leans very left compared to the general population. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/08/15 11:33 PM |
| 2 | Men, does the recent thread encourage you to open up emotionally?I agree, controlled anger can be very useful. By negative, I meant for me, but you are right, these are emotions which show weakness, which is what matters in a relationship context. That said, it's OK to show a little sadness if your dog or your mom dies. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/08/15 09:02 PM |
| 3 | Are there any legitimate reasons about why women,as a group, shouldn't be allowed to vote ?Not necessarily, libertarians believe in limited government which is not the same as a pure democracy. The less government you have the less need for voters. I used to be a big believer in democracy for all when I was younger, after seeing what Egypt did in electing Morsi or many other examples you can quickly find, I believe having strong constitutional limits on what government can do and a strong bill of rights is more important than broadening the vote. That said, I am not against women voti… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/08/15 08:51 PM |
| 1 | Feminists proving "the patriarchy™" via the amount of male CEOs and politicians are projectingI think it's natural for both men and women to care for people who are closest to them or most like them within a general order (which may vary a bit from person to person): 1) Immediate Family 2) Close Friends 3)Extended Family 4) larger circle of friends and coworkers 5) Your city, state, tribe (of which one tribe is your social class) 6) everybody else These naturally split across gender, but generally less across social class (although in my case, extended family covers just about every clas… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/08/15 08:40 PM |
| 3 | 4chan on why feminism is antiwomanI would also add the classic "Don't stick your dick in crazy" advice as well. This requires that you learn to identify it in all it's forms. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/08/15 08:07 PM |
| 9 | Men, does the recent thread encourage you to open up emotionally?My wife used to get mad at me for never showing emotion and not sharing my emotions with her. As an experiment, I opened up to her emotionally for a week once a few years ago. She quickly regretted it, said I was whining too much and asked me to stop. She's never bothered me since to share my emotions with her. Honestly, I don't think men should never share emotions, in particular I like when people are passionate about something, but in terms of negative emotions like sadness, guilt, depression… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/08/15 07:30 PM |
