You have witnessed? Do you live in the kind of polyamorous culture Sonia is talking about? If so, what's your experience exactly? If no, how can you have 'witnessed' anything about it? But perhaps you're just projecting, which is the easiest thing to do when you don't really know what is being talked about. Sexless men, like all men, have a better chance in a polyamorous society, quite logically -- a rising tide raises all boats, regardless of what you want to project on said tide.

Which is what you project on what she said, since, objectively speaking, she said nothing like that. But if you want to live in your own imaginary world, by all means, knock yourself out. Just remember not to make too much noise so as not to disturb the rest of us.

Ah! So it's not just about sex, it's about getting the 'hot' girls, right? Unfortunately, the 'hot' girls are a small minority in the group of women as a whole. Even like this, you'd still have more chance of getting a 'hot' girl in a polyamorous society (because they would all still be available, i.e. there's more chance) then in our current monogamous one. Since they are a minority, however, your chances would still be rather low. But so would everybody else's. Fortunately, not all men choose …

Actually, there have been dramatic changes from society to society. As I keep saying, if you saw what kind of women are seen as attractive in some of the societies I've studied, you'd be scared or go eeeeww.

Nope. It isn't. Let me say that the women some societies I've studied consider attractive would more than certainly make you run and go eeewww.

Hm. Any reason why? It stands to reason that if (a) more people are having sex with more people (assumption of non-monogamy) and (b) there is no pressure for you to select only your best bestest option as your only choice, then there are more chances of getting laid for everybody, including low-SMV men, when compared to monogamous societies. As the saying goes, the rising tide lifts all boats. But your answer suggests something else to me -- your interest is not so much sex; it is "being the mos…

You still haven't said why. May I presume you don't know why? As for changing "my interest", this would have no effect, of course. The original post was about communities. If you change the societal paradigm, even within a smaller group, from monogamy, then the number of people looking for sex increases, the amount of sex being had increases, and the possibility of accepting partners that aren't just your first bestest choice also increase. As they say, the rising tide lifts all boats.

It's not simple that you're dismissing outright cultural factors, Novice; it's that the sources you mentioned (which you obviously haven't read) disagree with the point you're making. Such quantifiers as "all (men) share the (same) motivations" are anathema to them. And they also show you're not up to date on Ev Psy. Have you heard about culture-brain co-evolution? It has a lot more in its favor than (pseudo-)Darwinian Ev Psy (which its best practioners define as a set of hypothesis related to t…

As a man, I beg to differ. Sex is the motivation for, say, 40% of what I do at most. Your conviction that "that's how we work" reminds me of pious Christians claiming that "men was made evil because of original sin" and "there's nothing we can do about it" -- i.e., an article of faith, not a well-documented fact. And no, I don't live in the woods, but in one of the largest American cities.

I think he was trying to offend you, which is a pity, because you didn't say anything offensive, and all your stamdards for picking up partners are quite applicable to women by men, too (minus the 'scary' part, though I must say some women did scare me).

No, she's not saying that. You're presuming and assuming things that go way beyond what she actually said. I guess you love such roles as incel and virgin so much, you have to do your part in making sure they have stable existence.

I think you're projecting your opinions and that of your (hopefully online) circle of friends on society as a whole. Personally, I have never had any problem with virgins of either sex, having, like everyone else, been one originally. I have never observed the dichotomy you claim to exist among any people I know, male or female.

Agreed. A lot of it is name-calling plus "it's not my fault!" which creates undue resentment either at society (which is an abstraction you can't attack directly; you always end up attacking people) or at women (who are concrete beings).

You may be right, but that's quite a leap there -- the original post author didn't say any such thing. It seems our current society wants to treat everything like "code" or "extreme" -- like Trumpists saying that DEI is code for prejudice against whites, or that experts are snarky elitists, or that judges' verdicts are extreme left-wing declarations by people hellbent on destroying our country -- all things our beloved President has tweeted. We shouldn't be like those people. There is such a thi…

Actually, they can be very entitled if they think that their never having touched a woman is "someone else's fault" and that that person should "solve their problem for them." That, besides the general level of entitledness that comes with thinking that living in a country with so much stuff in every supermarket is something that everybody else in the world enjoys. But that is actually true for all of us Americans, not just virgins.

Let's see: - "fucking blind". "can't see reality" - "women cheer at violence" (implying: it's OK to say horrible things in revenge if others do, even to people who didn't say anything horrible) - "where's your outrage?" (before even asking if she knew of the case and is or isn't outraged by it) - "do you consider this behavior less deplorable...?" (insinuating she does) - "get real" And that was in only one post.

I've often asked myself this question. It's as if the people who post the sort of stuff as the one that started this thread thought that there's some kind of 'socio-sexual equality rule' that says everybody is entitled to everybody else's body or something. Alas, that's not the case, and we have to deal with personal preferences. If a woman doesn't want to have sex with someone, then so be it. If a man doesn't want to have sex with someone, then so be it, too. Isn't that what humans do in all th…

Funny, I've had more than my fair share of rejections, and in my social circle I never became "that guy" (and even one of the women who at first rejected me later changed her mind). Perhaps this kind of behavior depends on the kind of people you have in your social circle?

I'm not sure I fully understand your point. To me, everybody should "stick to their unoffensive roles" (why the heck would I want to play an "offensive" role if the person I'm talking to didn't offend me?), not just incels, virgins, men, or women. As for assuming women are interested in virgins only platonically, I can tell you from personal experience that that's not the case, as the woman who took my virginity was quite turned on by this simple fact -- she would laugh if you told her she had e…

Re-reading your post, it seems that what you really want is to change a woman's physical preference rather than actually getting laid. Is that so? It's not clear to me what exactly you're looking for.

There's no "begging." There is only you, your choices, and her choices, and whether or not either of you can put up with both. The argument is solid and rational. If not, please say why.

It doesn't work for us at all, and I'm in a committed monogamous relationship. I just know poly people and can attest that they're quite normal. I don't think Sonia is telling you anything like what you're reading in her post. She doesn't talk about 'paying', you're reading that into her post for some reason. And nobody is telling you to do anything you don't want to, but you'll have to agree that YOU don't want to, and what doesn't work for YOU may be great for others, or even in average. Reall…

I don't understand why you say 'pay.' Are you implying the other relatioships either person has are 'payment' for being together? I don't see this at all in Sonia's original post. Personally, I think it is perfectly possible to be (physically) attracted to more than one person -- that's what whole industries, from porn to fashion, are based on. I often feel attracted to strangers I see on the streets. My wife feels attracted to several different male actors she's seen in movies. So I find it har…

All you're saying is that your interest (not need) for fucking women is much stronger than your interest in basketball, which I understand. But you're totally missing the point if you think the intensity is the point here. Please re-read the post. Besides, having a high sex drive doesn't logically lead to polyamory being wrong. Both things can be simulatenously true to the same individual -- s/he may have a high sex drive and be ethically polyamorous. You need to explain the connection you assum…

My entire life philosophy with respect to friendships (and romance to some extent) could be summarized as "please avoid assholes." It doesn't take long to see that red-pillers have a surprisingly high rate of assholes among them.

An implicit one. If you find it necessary for understanding, let me restate my previous post: "Do you think "attracted to" means only "to hot guys"?"
/r/PurplePillDebate03/06/25 10:53 AM

I agree 100%. Such self-proclaiming statements usually describe who they want or would like to be, not who they are. More imagination than accurate self-appraisal. And that, when they are said in good faith, which is not, in my experience, the majority of cases.
/r/PurplePillDebate03/06/25 10:50 AM

'Sameness' is only really true if you are both people in a relationship, which, let's all agree, would be quite sad. I'm sure you must mean something else. The bad word choice of others doesn't work as a justification for your own. Again, what do you mean 'equal'? 'Equal before the law'? 'Having the same human value'? 'Being citizens of the same country'? What do you mean? (The original poster clearly meant something different than you, I'd say; but even that I am not sure about.) If you don't l…

'Time and again' implies the need for some statistical data. My experience doesn't match yours, to put it lightly. No--you explain what equal means to you (since you used it first), as I'm curious about which definition would lead to statements like yours.

That's also my experience. The least well-achieved and well-rounded a woman is, the more likely she is to have an über-masculine partner (or at least a partner who talks the über-masculine creed, regardless of any actual achievements).
/r/PurplePillDebate03/06/25 10:26 AM

There's a lot of truth in that, with respect to the whole red pill community. They're afraid of ghosts looking over their shoulders and passing judgment. They bring to my mind an old Islamic tale about a man who, once, thanks to a djinn, had access to the Book of Fate and a pen to write in it. You'd imagine he'd turn to his page and write himself a wonderful fate; but no, he spent all his alotted time looking for people he disagreed with and making their fates miserable. When he ran out of time,…

Speaking as a man who was for a while in a relationship with a girl boss who was much more self-aware than the one you describe, those can be a lot of fun. We're no longer together, but not for any reason having to do with her personality. She showed respect for me, and I for her.
/r/PurplePillDebate03/06/25 10:21 AM

Yep. His error is thinking that all women are, or should be, the 'nurturing' type. Or that men who aren't 'providers' aren't men.
/r/PurplePillDebate03/06/25 10:19 AM

You have obviously not been out much. - "subconsciously" is not the right word here -- you mean "as I imagine them" - yes, if you assume 'equal' means 'atomic/molecular equality', as in 'we're clones of each other'. But since that's not the meaning the word has in this context, your bullent point is just arrant nonsense.
/r/PurplePillDebate03/06/25 10:17 AM

That actually makes a lot of sense.
/r/PurplePillDebate03/06/25 10:15 AM

I think men like the red pill ones above want more than feel 'needed' (that's a basic human desire after all) -- they want to be 'necessary', as in 'you can't even live if I'm not around.'
/r/PurplePillDebate03/06/25 10:14 AM

This does make sense. It's your curiously kinky worldview (at least, what I can see reflected in your previous post) that makes no sense when compared to reality.

Frankly, college has become way worse since it became sort of a mall for students to hang on. And I work at a college, I say this with personal experience.

I just did. You don't look high-value at all, "well educated" is an overstatement if I ever saw one, I can't talk about 'attractiveness' since I'm a heterosexual male, but in these days I guess anything is attractive to some kinksters. Besides, people never lie in their profiles, now do they? Your girlfriend from Canada probably says so. Your answers are predictable like a computer program. There's nothing new or insightful in what you say. Have a nice day, and hopefully a good life!

"In the west? Absolutely." Not in my experience. And I've traveled widely in the Western world, all the way from Ukraine to Chile, and from Canada to Argentina. "I generally hang out with wonderful women who constantly remind me how fucked up everyone else is, on average. Keep being in denial." Well, you clearly need to abandon those assholes.

Note that stereotypes, like the stereotype that men are just animals, are usually wrong. That's why it's called a stereotype. (Go check what the prefix 'stereo-' means in this word. It has nothing to do with music players.)

"No they don't." No you don't. And I don't either. Good for us. "There is a (stereo)type of woman that just values luxury and will use partners or other means to get it. People who actually work for their money are not the same." That's logical, and I agree. But this stereotype (which, like all stereotypes, is wrong) is so often extended to all women, regardless of how hard they work...

But this suggests that the dating dynamics in other countries is somehow 'fairer' -- on which, please ask average-looking guys from those countries how they feel about dating their countrywomen vs. dating foreigners.

Most men not having an issue with strong independent women is something I used to think (despite coming from a family that definitely valued men over women). But now, in the Trump age, so many public statements from the government and/or members of it, including several policy decisions, are in conflict with your vision, that I'm no longer sure.

I tend to agree. With the caveat that this preference was probably the result of cultural influence from an early age, in you and in others. Which is why I wouldn't support polyamory for all. I would support, though, it being de-stigmatized, so that those who are OK with it can go to it, and those who aren't can stay away from it, no stigma to any of them. Letting polyamorists be openly polyamoristic would, I think, help decrease the cheating rate later on--which would be a good thing for monoga…

It's a question of chances.

And that's a good thing. What you're referring to is that, if their chances were very low to start with, increasing them by say 25% won't do much -- they would still get rejected more often than not.

I agree with your viewpoint in general terms, but in practice, why should it be easier to find two women with the specific division of skills you mention (one is great at being a mom but not at blow-jobs or hobbies, and the other one is the other way round) rather than one who is good at the three things? (I know you might cite probability theory, but if you actually do the math, the difference isn't that overwhelming.) I end up thinking that relationships, monogamous or non-monogamous, need a l…

This is the frequently-mentioned theory of innate monogamy, i.e., most people just want one partner and that's it. Sexual fantasies tend to belie that, and actual sexual behavior runs counter to that (yes, including women). So I don't really think you know what you're talking about. One thing is true, though: non-monogamy does not guarantee drama-free or hurtful behavior to be excluded. Of COURSE there are people who take advantage of it for their own ends, just like there are those who do so wi…

I know you think so, it's the reasons for thinking so that evade me. If you think "attracted to" means only "to hot guys", then you really don't know many women. You should get out more.

This makes no sense, 3014. It's like saying that if I'm attracted to a certain kind of sports, say basketball, then I should never be attracted to other kinds, say football. Is that how your sports preferences go? The hopelessly romantic tend to believe in things like soul mates or eternal hard-ons, but the practically-minded person knows humans are complicated, relationships involve both commitment and thinking/planning, and way more variety than your immediate assumption that low-SMV in poly r…

Which is why I think the question itself is based on wrong premises. None of the relationships I know has a woman who 'settled' for a 'lower standard' man in a committed relationship than in a ONS. It's usually the other way round, or then ONS partner choice is all about hotness while long-time relationship partner choice is all about happiness.

No, he just doesn't understand how people (including women) actually work.

Not really, because (a) you're treating sex and sexual attraction as a very simple thing, which it is not, and (b) the real analogy is not trickle-down economics but free market economics (+ culture), which has been a resounding success in this country.

'Attractive' here meaning a lot more than you give it credit for. In monogamous societies, there'd be even fewer chances for unattractive people. A non-monogamous society would increase their chances. Surely that's not bad?

You underestimate the importance of culture. As has been said, humans are animals whose state of nature is found in culture. The instinct to have a culture is our strongest instinct, possibly also biologically determined, and certainly stronger than our sexual impulse -- as any feral children raised by wolves would gladly tell you. Mating paradigms were never really mostly about children (for most of the prehistory of our species, people didn't even know that sex led to children; some primitive …

Ah, but variations like polygyny (= many-wives) were quite the rule, especially among the elites, in many if not most human societies for quite a while. In all of Antiquity at least the kings got to have many wives, and certainly also noblemen. So we started out with multiple partners, at least for men. And now we've come to monogamy. It seems to me the reason why this might be surprising to you is the lack of consideration for the effects of culture, which are paramount, especially in family an…

If my own experience is worth anything (and we all know that "data" is not the plural of "anecdote"), then quite a lot of women would feel this way, actually. Don't get me wrong. It's not that there aren't superficial women constantly looking for status. Just as there are men constantly looking for money and success. But if you think this explains all of women (or men), or a majority, or even a really significant proportion of them... then the real world would like a word with you.

It seems to me that you're being too dismissive of low-SMV men. They are not as bad, as unskilled, and as uninteresting as you paint them. Many have qualities that stand out once you look at them as something other than "ugly" (or whatever term you'd use in common parlance). Low-SMV people of both sexes can be good at something valuable, or can be good listeners, or can show genuine interest in other people's feelings going beyond the "unexperiencedness" that you overgeneralize about and conside…

"So despite being literally undatable and mid at sex, you still got to bang Chad. Great first selling point for polyamory to LVM." Yes. In other words, an otherwise undatable person got to date thanks to polyamory. You think that's bad? Weird. "Sounds great... For the people offered this type of support (women and attractive men)." And unattractive men. "The average LVM does not meet the bar for commitment-less sex. So the less commitment is sought, the more ostracized the LVM becomes." This str…

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
