1	People trying to shame women into relationships with bi men I'm not trying to coerce someone. I'm trying to get people to realize they some combination of unhealthy views and stereotypes that reinforce biphobia, homophobia, and toxic masculinity. The problem isn't that they don't date me. The problem is that their views will cause them to stereotype me. I'd rather not have woman think I am a hypersexualized man who will cheat in every relationship simply because I am bi. I see cheating as an act of cowardice that I refuse to partake in, and I am nearly t…	/r/PurplePillDebate	13/08/26 02:02 AM
3	People trying to shame women into relationships with bi men This isn't an obsession about making women date bi men. It is about raising self-awareness so people can understand their unhealthy stereotyping that comes from biphobia, homophobia, or feelings that reinforce toxic masculinity. For men not dating bi men it is exclusively biphobia, but for women not dating men it could be stereotyping stemming from any or all of those viewpoints.	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/08/26 07:58 PM
4	People trying to shame women into relationships with bi men A bi woman friend of mine won't date bi men and says it is because bi men are less masculine. Her bi daughter says because it is gross and can't elaborate on why it is gross. It is all based on negative stereotyping. Even sadder that they are bi and still have these issues with bi men.	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/08/26 07:39 PM
4	People trying to shame women into relationships with bi men We say same thing about Leo DiCaprio when he suddenly loses attraction with every woman once she turns 25. Leo doesn't have to give us an explanation, but we still call him out for it. It could be trauma from an older woman causing him harm. Who knows. But unless he tells us, most of us will presume it is some kind of bigoted reason about how women are most desired for their youth and not for who they are as a person. Similarly when woman say they won't date a bi man, many of us presume it is fo…	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/08/26 07:36 PM
3	People trying to shame women into relationships with bi men I am bi but don't fall into any of those categories oddly enough. I'm not attracted to anyone, but have acted with all the different genders. For people who can't understand that, this isn't much different than when someone has a casual hookup with someone they don't particularly find attractive. Most bi men aren't like me, they usually have strong feelings of attraction towards multiple genders. An odd thing with biphobia is I can completely keep silent and no one would ever know I am bi. Women…	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/08/26 06:36 PM
9	People trying to shame women into relationships with bi men The reason this is talked one way and not the other isn't because of misogyny. Men are much more willing to date bi women compared to women dating bi men. If bi men were less willing to date bi women, then most people wouldn't bring this topic up. It is everyone's right to be racist or biphobic. It is also society's right to condemn people who are racist or biphobic. It isn't entitlement. As a bi man, I don't think anyone must feel compelled to date me. I do think that people who refuse to date …	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/08/26 06:04 PM
27	Women just aren’t men Playing by your logic, if you think men are better, then doesn't it make sense for women to strive to be more like a man since most people want to become better? I like to get stronger, so I work out and eat more protein and less sugar. I buy women's walking shoes because they have better color options. Why wouldn't some women feel the same way? Gender norms are silly. There is also no reason for men to be macho/big or loud and rude, yet some men do this as well. They act like it is a competitio…	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/08/26 05:21 PM
–	The recent rise of butt-focused fashion is driven at least partly by a desire to attract heterosexual male attention The scrunch butt leggings are one of the few women's pants that actually fits a phone in their pocket. Phones have gotten so tall now, that this style of leggings is one of the few ways for women to secure a phone in their pocket.	/r/PurplePillDebate	06/08/26 08:04 PM
1	Question for men: how would you like to be approached? I couldn't care less on the approach. I'll go on a first date with anyone who is interested. One of the great joys in life is having a meal or beverage with a fascinating stranger. I am willing to give anyone the chance to see if they fascinate me. Judging books by their cover is a silly game, and I consider the approach the cover.	/r/PurplePillDebate	05/08/26 05:34 PM
1	What do women truly think about masculinity? As far as what you attract, Since you appear to value fitness, you attract women who value fitness. I imagine some of these women will be athletic tomboy types. In general women tend to like athletic more than muscular. More like a soccer player and less like a body builder. A focus on functional muscles rather than hypertrophy. That doesn't mean you should change yourself to appeal to more women. Be your best self that you can be proud of and find the women who are into that. To compare it to f…	/r/PurplePillDebate	04/08/26 05:42 PM
7	What kind of personality do you like? So boring. I want a partner to share life with. If I just wanted sex, why bother with a relationship?	/r/PurplePillDebate	04/08/26 01:28 AM
0	What kind of personality do you like? Cynically-optimistic, radically honest, eclectic, open-minded, competent, knowledgeable, energetic, grateful, inquisitive, and generous.	/r/PurplePillDebate	04/08/26 01:25 AM
–	Why don't most women normally wear their hair up? The majority of men prefer hair down on women. Not that women do their hair for the sake of men, but I figured I would include the majority of men's preference not aligning to yours.	/r/PurplePillDebate	03/08/26 08:57 PM
2	Women objectively have it better than men in the modern western world I'd agree with that. Before the recent law changes I don't think women were oppressed in the USA by the government. I think there is plenty of discrimination that creates difficulty for women in the USA, but I don't think of it as oppression. There are subcultures within the USA that choose to oppress women (e.g. religion), but I wouldn't count the subculture of a country being oppressive as saying the nation is oppressive.	/r/PurplePillDebate	03/08/26 08:54 PM
3	Women objectively have it better than men in the modern western world Transwomen are oppressed through gender affirming care limitations, bathroom laws, sports restrictions, etc. The rest of women are oppressed by the USA government choosing to be involved in women’s medical decisions related to reproductive care. Once these things are resolved, then the oppression stops and we are just left with discrimination. Everything else that is terrible for women is caused by discrimination towards women, men just being terrible people, or inherent traits of being a woman,…	/r/PurplePillDebate	03/08/26 06:55 PM
3	Women objectively have it better than men in the modern western world There is too much here for me to go line by line to disagree with it, but in general I disagree with nearly everything in this post. There are roughly an equal number of single women and men. Dating difficulties affect both groups. For men, the biggest struggle is getting the first date. For women the struggle is getting a committed relationship. I do not feel hated for being a man in the slightest. I feel discriminated against for other things, like being bi, but never for being a man. Speaking…	/r/PurplePillDebate	03/08/26 05:44 PM
3	It is psychologically better for guys to be celibate I found the opposite. Having sex made me realize it was overrated, and now I can take it or leave it as is. The FOMO was psychologically rough before I knew what I was missing.	/r/PurplePillDebate	30/07/26 07:13 PM
-2	There's an overlap between men who struggle with dating and irreligious conservatives. It isn't dunking on conservatives. It is more that being a politically conservative non-religious man pretty much excludes a man from nearly everyone's dating pool. Religious conservative men have no problem getting in relationships. In fact they are so good at it that adopting a traditional religion is probably one of the top ways a guy can improve his dating life if seeking lifelong commitment. My advice for men if they value being married to a woman is to either be a religious conservative, o…	/r/PurplePillDebate	30/07/26 06:45 PM
2	Why do Blue Pill men rush to defend women on every single issue? Gender equality and feminism has not been a strong movement in Japan and yet they have had birthrate decline nearly every year for a few decades. Declining birthrate is simply the result of the economy and birth control. People feel they can't afford to build families so they don't. In the past this would happen less often and less effective birth control caused people to have kids anyway on accident. Also declining birthrate isn't an issue. The ideal world population for sustainable high qualit…	/r/PurplePillDebate	30/07/26 03:37 PM
1	There's an overlap between men who struggle with dating and irreligious conservatives. This is the opposite for me. If I cared about looks, I'd date in person where I can see people and start conversations with anyone attractive. I use online dating so I can read a profile and know more about a person and figure out if I want to talk to them. In person I don't get that luxury since it is all about looks other than the few single people we meet by proximity.	/r/PurplePillDebate	30/07/26 12:07 AM
–	the birth rate topic is silly We already have more people on the planet than is ideal, so there is no reason to need to maintain birthrate. The ideal population is estimated between 2 to 4 billion people for sustainable high quality of life.	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/07/26 11:33 PM
1	Do you think heterosexuality dichotomizes gender? This definition of heterosexuality doesn't factor in people who experience gender differently than most men and women, such as someone who is non-binary. As for heterosexuality dichotomizing gender, absolutely it does. I find no reason for gender norms and I don't think much about gender and I forget I have a gender myself. I already see the world in a post-gender viewpoint, but the rest of society doesn't seem to be there yet. For that reason, heterosexuality or homosexuality make no sense for …	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/07/26 11:31 PM
2	A lot of women reject bisexual men because femininity is the only leverage they think they have The internet is very much talking about kissing on the lips. It doesn't mean women regularly kiss women, but roughly half of women have tried it at least once. It could be drunk at a party, or it could be with a friend in a bedroom as a teen to practice before kissing a boy for the first time. Or just kissing for simple curiosity, or an encounter with a lesbian with an irresistible aura. Or they can just be bi or a lesbian. Perhaps they just went through a breakup with a guy and wanted to try so…	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/07/26 07:55 PM
11	A lot of women reject bisexual men because femininity is the only leverage they think they have Men who keep their attraction on the "down low", which means they keep it a secret.	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/07/26 07:46 PM
2	A lot of women reject bisexual men because femininity is the only leverage they think they have Literally if you google "Do people say all women are bi", the internet shows that it is a common cultural stereotype. It is false like all stereotypes, but people do say that. This reminds me when someone told me that when they grew up they were told they can't take their shoes off in the house or they will get sick and they said that was a common thing in many households. I thought that sounded ridiculous since I grew up in an asian household where wearing shoes in the house was prohibited, but…	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/07/26 07:44 PM
2	A lot of women reject bisexual men because femininity is the only leverage they think they have The internet. Literally just do a google search. There are plenty of various studies, such as the Boise State University study. The top end of studies suggest 61%, but some suggest something closer to 40%, so I just put it roughly in the middle at 50%. The stats reflect your viewpoint if we are only counting sex, and they reflect the other guy's viewpoint if we count kissing another woman as a gay experience.	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/07/26 07:34 PM
3	A lot of women reject bisexual men because femininity is the only leverage they think they have The level of repulsion you have towards being with a bi partner is horrifying. Your instincts are to treat dating a bi man like he is a monster no matter his other traits. We aren't monsters, but that thought is deeply rooted within society. I don't blame you for it; it is the result of social conditioning and no one can control their attraction. Even bi women often feel as repulsed as you do. I don't ask any women to change the sexual repulsion towards bi men. I only ask that they realize that …	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/07/26 07:25 PM
3	A lot of women reject bisexual men because femininity is the only leverage they think they have That doesn't seem to be the case since 70% of men are comfortable dating bi women, but less than 30% of women are comfortable dating bi men. This suggests there is some kind of bias going on beyond it being a heterosexual vs homosexual thing. I suspect it is a toxic masculinity issue. It is also a bi-erasure issue, since people think if a man is attracted to other men, he is actually gay and just hasn't accepted it yet.	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/07/26 06:18 PM
3	A lot of women reject bisexual men because femininity is the only leverage they think they have It matters if we count romantic/sexual kissing. If we count kissing, then roughly 50% of women who have kissed someone has kissed a woman. If we only count sex with another woman, then the percentage is closer to 10-15%.	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/07/26 06:11 PM
10	A lot of women reject bisexual men because femininity is the only leverage they think they have Bi men don't cheat more than any other men. Some bi men just want casual sex, just like any other man. That just gets sorted during the dating process by communicating intentions early. This isn't a bi-specific issue, this is just a failure to communicate while dating and happens with all orientations.	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/07/26 05:54 PM
4	A lot of women reject bisexual men because femininity is the only leverage they think they have If he is fantasizing about celebrity women, you also can't do anything about this since you are not those women. At best you can dress up and pretend you are the celebrity, which isn't really much different from you dressing up like a guy, wearing a strap-on, and pretending you are a guy. Your take seems like a poor attempt to justify a homophobic viewpoint.	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/07/26 05:38 PM
64	A lot of women reject bisexual men because femininity is the only leverage they think they have My bi friend won't date bi men because she says they are less manly. It is just homophobia towards men doing "gay" things.	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/07/26 05:31 PM
2	Not having sex is an acceptable outcome I completely agree. So why do these alternate scenarios assume women are incapable of communicating their enthusiasm without repeated questioning? Not all women are the same. Plenty are happy to communicate enthusiasm, some are too shy to ask, and others feel like they are a prize and shouldn't have to show enthusiasm. Who is being rejected 9 times for sex and still trying after two years? Perhaps their was a "yes" before the 9 rejections. Or perhaps the other person wants to wait for marriage a…	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/07/26 12:31 AM
1	Not having sex is an acceptable outcome It made them feel like a slut if they always ask instead of me. It also made them feel unwanted since I wasn't enthusiastically coming after them. That enthusiasm is a two-way street. It isn't trying to game the scenario, I am just pointing out there is a time threshold that matters. Asking 10 times on a weekend would be harassment, but over two years, perhaps not.	/r/PurplePillDebate	28/07/26 06:11 PM
2	Not having sex is an acceptable outcome You say not have sex which is a totally acceptable solution, but I've have multiple people complain on my lack of initiating sex. I have often been expected to ask, and even though sometimes the answer is no, I am still expected to ask each time and I can't just wait for the other person to ask. Since I don't like to repeatedly ask for anything, my common response is to let them know that I'll never ask again until they tell me to do otherwise. That lets me respect their boundary and let someone…	/r/PurplePillDebate	28/07/26 05:32 PM

1	Would you like to live in a post gender society? Absolutely. I think gender roles are nonsensical. I already have a post-gender perspective, but everyone else doesn't seem to be there. It would be nice if everyone else could join me in a post-gender world.	/r/PurplePillDebate	21/07/26 04:57 PM
3	What's your opinion on vtubers? Generally the vtuber women are attractive. Being a woman on stream comes with all sorts of issues, such as harassment, stalking, judgement for appearance, fetishized for appearance, etc. Being a vtuber allows them to confidently act how they want on stream with less judgement. Sometimes they do a face reveal once they feel comfortable enough, and others never face reveal. In general, appearing younger is an appealing trait in women, and the high pitched cutesy voices are just taking that a level…	/r/PurplePillDebate	21/07/26 04:49 PM
2	Are power imbalances in relationships really that bad? I'd have no friends and never be in a relationship because of my income. All my friends either make less than half my salary or more than double. There will always be an imbalance. The idea is for things to be complimentary, not the same. I do agree that relying on someone else's salary is a bit iffy. I wouldn't want to be with someone that depends on my salary to stay afloat. It puts a lot of pressure on me to sustain the relationship since I'd feel bad if I took away their food and shelter by …	/r/PurplePillDebate	16/07/26 04:30 PM
1	Women being sexually selective with their own partners makes almost no sense. I know if I was with a guy who was well-endowed, I would be much less likely to want to give head. With a smaller guy, he could honestly just whip it out anytime he wanted and I'd be happy to play with it. It has nothing to do with how much I care about the person, and more about what kind of equipment is fun to play with and how some equipment feels like a difficult chore. As for the second scenario, that makes plenty of sense. She got herself in a situation she didn't know how to change. Now t…	/r/PurplePillDebate	16/07/26 03:57 PM
–	Could committed platonic partnerships be an alternative for some lonely men in your opinion? Platonic partnerships did wonders for my loneliness for me. I was in a 12 year relationship that was quite abusive at times. Afterwards I took a two year break from dating and instead spent a lot more time with my closest friends, often spending the night at their place. I was quite happy with this arrangement, enough so that it was tempting to not even date again. I did end up dating again since I had told myself that I would after two years regardless of how I felt about dating. This was a pro…	/r/PurplePillDebate	16/07/26 03:38 PM
1	Q4W: Would you participate in or use a dating app that had no pictures of the person you are talking to? I did this and it has worked better than traditional dating apps. If I like someone's personality and how they make me feel, I'll naturally starting seeing them grow more and more attractive until they become the most attractive person I've ever seen. It can help if they start out attractive, but even if they don't it doesn't really matter since our rose colored glasses will always make the person look more attractive. Too often we let looks distract from personality, compatibility, and connecti…	/r/PurplePillDebate	15/07/26 05:24 PM
6	Unsuccessful men on the dating regard should just accept it and continue with their lives There must be a replacement, since some of us were born without sexual attraction and don't feel chemistry with others. I'd like to think I am not less human due to my lack of sexual attraction.	/r/PurplePillDebate	14/07/26 09:01 PM
51	Men are more ethical, we don't sell our bodies Ethics isn’t why we don’t sell our bodies. We have no buyers. Bonnie Blue is just one woman. What does it say about the 1057 men that helped her reach her 12 hour goal? Do you think it would be so easy to find 1057 women who will all share the same man for 12 hours? Men certainly don’t have higher standards.	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/07/26 10:34 AM
1	Lots of the frustrations in the current dating world are from some men refusing to accept that most women are generally more valuable than most men The halo effect is a well documented thing, so I agree on the value of appearance. But it is just one avenue. And it doesn’t work on everyone when it comes to dating, but it works often enough that a highly attractive person can always find plenty who will settle for someone who only brings appearance and bedroom appeal. But there are still plenty of people who aren’t built that way, or at least can’t find someone so attractive that they would sell out their values. Or perhaps they do see these …	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/07/26 05:37 AM
0	Lots of the frustrations in the current dating world are from some men refusing to accept that most women are generally more valuable than most men Is there a handbook on black pill theory? I can only go off of what I find when I search the web, thus my surface level understanding. Since most people end up in relationships, the theory confuses me. The current system is far from ideal, but it isn't non-functional, otherwise there wouldn't be so many relationships.	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/07/26 12:03 AM
3	Being her best sexually isn't that important and is unrealistic "make the other person happy." But not your spouse? Why is the line drawn there? The line is drawn because being too much of a people pleaser due to a need for constant validation is unhealthy and often results in over-giving which leads to resentment. I could happily give what I don't want to give to a spouse on a regular basis, but I'll inevitably become resentful for it. That doesn't mean I won't ever do something I don't want to for someone, but it just means I need to limit it to an amount …	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/07/26 12:01 AM
3	Being her best sexually isn't that important and is unrealistic "why did he so easily give them what he denies me?" Cuz many of us were little people pleasers that did a bunch of stuff to make the other person happy. Or we liked things, and now we don't. I used to have a lot of sex in vehicles in my younger years. I don't want to do that again no matter how much the other person is in the mood. If someone broke up with me because I wouldn't have car sex with them when I used to in the past, then it is what it is.	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/07/26 09:50 PM
3	Lots of the frustrations in the current dating world are from some men refusing to accept that most women are generally more valuable than most men I’m just saying the black pill stuff is stupid. Men’s ability to date isn’t based solely on money and a bunch of physical traits that can’t be changed. Looks aren’t everything, but they are something.	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/07/26 09:25 PM
3	Being her best sexually isn't that important and is unrealistic The narrative is stupid. We change. There are things I liked doing when I was younger I'd never do now. And there is some stuff I didn't do before that I might be willing to try now. I do not care what someone did before. I care what they do now. In your scenario, it should make no difference to the current gf if you used to give oral. It should only make a difference if she requires oral to be satisfied with the relationship. This narrative comes up most often for anal. And every guy is convinc…	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/07/26 08:53 PM
6	Lots of the frustrations in the current dating world are from some men refusing to accept that most women are generally more valuable than most men I’m not trying to cook to get dates, that is just silly. I’m wanting to cook because I feel like it is a skill I should have and be comfortable with even though I can afford to eat out every meal. Also it could be nice to cook a meal for a loved one instead of just buying food. It is a bit more heartwarming that way.	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/07/26 07:57 PM
1	Lots of the frustrations in the current dating world are from some men refusing to accept that most women are generally more valuable than most men I find the internet is making it easier.

7	Lots of the frustrations in the current dating world are from some men refusing to accept that most women are generally more valuable than most men A good cover doesn't make for a good book, but it does get more people to open the book. Of course having money, looks, and charisma help get women to give a guy a chance. But in the same way that women wear makeup and do their hair to look nicer, men can also do things to look better. But those things only get women to give a guy a chance, it doesn't make them stay. It is those traits that are hard to advertise that keep the relationship going strong.	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/07/26 07:14 PM
0	Lots of the frustrations in the current dating world are from some men refusing to accept that most women are generally more valuable than most men I suspect most of the men learned to cook while single, so they just naturally kept cooking once in a relationship. Among many of my friends, they just see themselves as the better cook so they cook so they can have meals they like more often. It isn't to keep their woman; that just happens to be a side effect. Among my conservative friends it is their thought that men are simply more competent than women, and that includes cooking so they cook so they can have better food.	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/07/26 06:52 PM
14	Lots of the frustrations in the current dating world are from some men refusing to accept that most women are generally more valuable than most men Many men are just underperforming across the board. We used to make more money to compensate for underperforming in many other aspects of life, but now that the wage gap is disappearing, many men haven't figured out how to bring more to the table to compensate for not having that advantage anymore. Most of the men I know under 35 who are in successful relationships know how to cook, do chores, and are generally just competent. Even my Christian conservative friends in relationships all cook half…	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/07/26 06:19 PM
1	Which women do men (you) like/love more? Women I'm in a ltr with??? This seems like a silly question. The whole reason I would form an ltr or marriage is because I like/love them more than everyone else. I find sex a fair bit overrated. If I had to choose between a sexless marriage, or marriage with sex three times a week, I would be happier in a sexless marriage. I think once a month is a tolerable frequency.	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/07/26 06:06 PM

I don't value clean floors and surfaces as much as others, so I tend to never clean the floors or surfaces other than spot cleaning which I highly value. If I touch sticky spot on the floor or counter, I'll drop everything to take care of it, but I never do the entire floor until I notice how bad it is, which is far after someone else does. I find a roomba to be plenty sufficient to keep a floor clean most of the time. I…	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/07/26 05:56 PM
2	Being coddled as boys has done the most damage to men’s social lives. What confuses me is the lack of awareness. I knew I was undesirable to be with. Even now after putting in significant work I am marginally acceptable and am striving to do better. But I have never seen it as an unfair gender thing. I look at how much effort women put into their appearance, and I feel like it could never be me. I put more effort into my appearance than I used to, but I couldn't imagine doing makeup each day, or putting so much effort into hair care. Gender norms are stupid, but g…	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/07/26 05:33 PM

1	Society didn't lie to men about women and dating. Porn did. I don't understand where anyone feels lied to about how dating works. The classic non-attractive guy often gets married if he can get the rest of his life in order. Among the few dozen men I work with, they are all married or divorced. Our most chad-like person on the team is also our short king, otherwise no one else looks like they have ever been to a gym. They do have stable jobs, and nearly half of them have a college degree.

–	You have to be comfortable with the idea of getting cheated on to be in a relationship We do flirt in front of our partner, but typically that flirting is directed to our partner. When they aren't around, then we flirt with whoever is around. We just like to have flirtatious banter because it is fun. I don't see this as micro-cheating.	/r/PurplePillDebate	02/07/26 06:11 PM
–	You have to be comfortable with the idea of getting cheated on to be in a relationship I wouldn't flirt with someone else while my partner with me, not because they are watching, but because my partner would be getting all of my flirtatious attention. Who has the time to flirt with others while their partner is around? It is fun being flirtatious while out and about.	/r/PurplePillDebate	02/07/26 06:05 PM
–	You have to be comfortable with the idea of getting cheated on to be in a relationship The majority of bisexual people are monogamous. Ethical non-monogamy would be what you are referring to as "open-minded." If I am with a woman and she is having a fun night out with friends, why would I need to be "completely emotionally detached" to be with her? Most men I know are not this way with their spouse and yet their relationships seem to be just fine.	/r/PurplePillDebate	02/07/26 05:56 PM

2	Passport broing should unironically be illegal The men verbally and physically abuse their wives and they can’t divorce. There are a lot worse things men can do other than adultery.

You discussed being romantically attracted to men, which does describe me. I am simply saying as someone who falls into what you describe, I don’t see any association with red pill ideology. I don’t see how needing approval, status, or validation from a gender relates to being romantically attracted to that gender. Needing approval from a gender is separate from romantic attraction to a gender. I do agree if men need more sex, why not have sex with other men. There are plenty available and happy…	/r/PurplePillDebate	30/06/26 08:44 PM

13	Women are hypocritical about sex work. The average guy can get someone. I do agree at a certain age if you haven't had sex, it makes it a bit awkward to date. Just go find a sex worker and give it a whirl. Let's you know what you like and alleviates some of the anxiety that comes with dating. Give men a try as well. If you end up enjoying sex with men then you basically hit the jackpot for sexual opportunities. Personally though, I find sex to be incredibly overrated.	/r/PurplePillDebate	26/06/26 11:20 PM

Another 20% say it is because of school or career plans. That means over half of all abortions are done for financial reasons. Women are getting out of pregnancies because of financial issues, but men aren’t able to do the same. Bodily autonomy is why abortions should be legal, regardless if people think it is immoral.

If the woman wishes to continue with the pregnancy instead of having an abortion, then she is choosing to take on the financial responsibility knowing there will be no support from the father. This seems the most fair. Men shouldn't be able to force a woman to have an abortion, or force women not to have an abortion. O…	/r/PurplePillDebate	25/06/26 06:24 PM

1	How should a female navigate a situation where the man is smaller than average Girth tends to matter more than length for most people. Also there are angles, movement, hand usage, and other factors that impact satisfaction other than size. Many women are able to give other women orgasms using just their hands, so there is a lot more to an orgasm than length. Also a lot of smaller guys tend to put more effort to compensate for their lack of size, so if you haven't tried it, who knows maybe you'll like it.	/r/PurplePillDebate	25/06/26 05:28 PM
1	How should a female navigate a situation where the man is smaller than average I think it is completely reasonable and I appreciate the question. Just like guys have different anatomy, women also have different anatomy and appreciate different sizes. This view needs to be normalized instead of the polarizing views of "bigger is always better" or "you are a bad person if you require a bigger size."

0	How should a female navigate a situation where the man is smaller than average I think honesty is the best policy. Offering options like toys and sleeves shows you are willing to make it work so I don't find that insulting.

1	When men say "Men suffer in silence", most of them think that's cool and masculine. Men get away with being angry all the time at work. We call it being a passionate assertive leader, and when women are angry we call it being a bitch. It is unfair, but that is how the world sees it. The only spot I can think of where being an angry man is worse is at a traffic stop. Police officers seem to have much more patience for angry women than angry men, likely due to angry men being perceived as a greater threat.	/r/PurplePillDebate	25/06/26 04:32 PM

Men are willing to date and have sex with a wider range of women, but these men filter out many of the women prior to committing to a long term relationship. This causes men to complain they can't get dates or sex, and women to complain they can't get a committed long term relationship.

3	I think that women highly value confidence and this puts men at a significant dating disadvantage. Of course, because there is a FOMO aspect to it.

There are no shortage of studies that come to the conclusion that single women are happier than single men. Just search the web and you'll see studies from PubMed and from the University of Toronto. Since few men are juggling multiple relationships, this means women have about the same number of relationships as men if we are not factoring in queer relationships. Sometimes by age group you can see a difference, but that is typically because there may be more 29 year old women dating 31 year old …	/r/PurplePillDebate	25/06/26 12:54 AM
2	I think that women highly value confidence and this puts men at a significant dating disadvantage. Women put that pressure on themselves because of societal pressures which include the environment someone is raised in which causes someone to put that pressure on themselves. An easy example is that many men don't shave their armpits, but if a woman doesn't shave her armpits, society tends to judge that poorly. I said societal pressure, not men pressuring women. Plenty of the societal pressure is women pressuring other women to improve their appearance.	/r/PurplePillDebate	24/06/26 09:45 PM

This makes single men more desperate for a relationship and women often find these unhappy desperate men less desirable.

If the goal of dating is a healthy long lasting relationship, then men can't be at a disadvantage because of women's preferences.

28	Men dating younger women may be the only option left. As a man who has put in the work as I got older, I am confused why I would want younger women? I want a higher quality partner than I would have chosen in my younger years. We develop quality overtime. Just as I got better over time, I would expect women to also have improved over time. Why would I seek a younger woman who still has much to learn from the world? Why lower my standards to younger women?	/r/PurplePillDebate	11/06/26 03:45 PM
1	Sex and fidelity are not needs There are plenty of asexual people who only do monogamous relationships despite not wanting to have sex. Sometimes it is a dealbreaker for the other person, but there are some people who are fine accepting a sexless relationship. How about the other person just end the relationship if they are unhappy with the amount of sex? Why do they need to cheat? If I am married with someone and they are unsatisfied with something, I expect them to let me know. If I am unwilling to change to accommodate the…	/r/PurplePillDebate	11/06/26 02:22 PM

"It's not you, it's me" is such a cliche, but I've heard it from the 3 of the 5 people I've ever dated or been in a relationship with.

We do all sorts of stuff to shorten our own life spans. I have to worry about my own health before I try to have sex with the world for the sake of their health.

2	Redpill tactics are idiotic and have the opposite of the intended affect for high quality women Women wouldn't know that the guy lied about being unavailable for her first suggested time. Of course she would be turned off if she knew he lied. But she would likely find it more attractive than a guy that always says the time she selected is good since she'll perceive he has no life since he is always available. It is generally not assumed that someone who is dating is exclusive until the relationship is defined. That is just normal, so I don't think it would turn most women off since women a…	/r/PurplePillDebate	10/06/26 04:30 PM
4	Redpill tactics are idiotic and have the opposite of the intended affect for high quality women There were other issues in the JCPenney case as they alienated their most loyal customers while trying to cater to a younger crowd. Additionally transparent pricing requires a marketing campaign to let people know why there are no more sales. Costco doesn't do sales based pricing, yet they sell more volume per store and per sq ft of retail space than any other retailer.

11	Freedom in relationships So how does someone who is bi react to this type of behavior? If the idea is that we are expected to not talk to the gender we are attracted to, do bi people not talk to anyone beyond minor exchanges due to fear of potential attraction? As far as I can tell, it is just a heteronormative insecurity. If bi people lived by this standard then they would never have friends. If bi people can be friends with both genders without fear of it leading to attraction, why can't hetero people do the same? I s…	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/06/26 05:35 PM
8	Freedom in relationships My ex and I would go for long drives whenever he wanted to talk since he knew me driving was one of the best ways to get me to pay attention.

1	Women consistently reinforce that attraction is Amoral. Yet continue to moralize unsuccessful Mens inability to be selected. Depending on Narrative and Context Like most things, the answer is that it depends. Attraction is not always amoral. A lack of romantic success is a mix of bad luck and self-inflicted issues. Will a guy have more success in getting first dates being 6' tall instead of 5' tall if all other things are equal? Probably, but that doesn't mean the shorter guy can't get first dates.

We should also have a database with everyone’s DNA to make it easier to solve crimes. It shouldn’t be enough to convict in most cases but it can at least help guide the investigation to find more evidence. I don’t see the value in DNA privacy from the government except to hide from crimes.

These are all strategies prior to the start of a relationship to generate additional attraction. The downside to using strategies like this to generate more attraction is that it doesn't help with filtering for compatibility. Tactics can't be used to sustain a lifelong relationship.

Or men that don't like to argue over frivolous things like a dinner bill. I think if I got filtered out by something like that, it would work for me as well since someone who would filter a person out over something so trivial is probably ill-suited for me since I would want someone that can give more grace for any missteps I may take.

I try to be respectful of autonomy of others so I've been accepting any offers to split on a first date, and some of the offers on later dates.

2	Women appreciate compliments, just not from guys who obviously want sex as a thank you. I complimented a girl for her really cool glasses and she said thanks.

2	Do men actually want children, or do they just follow the expected path? Naturally there is some stereotyping, hence the term “many” and “usually” and not “all” or “always” were used. I have no rule against dating single mothers or women with unplanned children, it is just that all of them I have met have come off far more sexual than many of the single women I’ve met without kids. This could be simply variance due to a small sample size or perhaps most women are like that and the single mothers are more expressive about it.

My advice that aligns a bit more blue pill is to try to become the best version of yourself and make your life enjoyable. Then find someone to invite into your life.

As far as blanket issues, I think toxic masculinity is a big issue that hurts both men and women, yet is reinforced by many men and women.

It isn't about effort to match the trend. It is about effort to wear things that align to your self-expression. Graphic tee and jeans can look good, but it really shouldn't be someone's only look and I feel like it is for so many men.	/r/PurplePillDebate	18/05/26 05:05 PM
–	Women, what are your dating issues? Why not include all the hobbies? I mention video games and anime, but I also mention pickleball, hiking, and travelling. This makes it easier for me to find someone who can appreciate that I have nerdy hobbies, but also know I like to be active and outdoors. If someone is turned off by nerdy hobbies they can just save us both time and swipe left. The goal shouldn't be to get more matches. The goal is the find the right match.	/r/PurplePillDebate	18/05/26 04:49 PM
–	Women Do Not Have “Dating Issues.” Only Men do. For some reason Pretending its anywhere Equal I disagree. I think many "normal" dudes can be so desperate for sex and attention that they will take any woman. Thus making them an interchangeable fleshlight. Meanwhile chads have no desperation, thus they can afford to be more choosy and are very deliberate with who they select to settle down with, thus their partner is not interchangeable. Desperate men don't value women for who they are; they value women for being a method to quench their thirst. And since they don't know if they can get an…	/r/PurplePillDebate	18/05/26 04:36 PM
0	SwipeStats data from 2026 demonstrates that Hinge is mathematically non-viable for the average male user Fashion isn't about money for most people. When someone lacks style, it suggests they may lack personality, consistency, effort, thoughtfulness, etc. If someone is neglectful of their own appearance, it suggests can be neglectful in a relationship. New relationship energy will fuel someone in the beginning, but when that dies down, they just won't be attentive enough.	/r/PurplePillDebate	18/05/26 04:02 PM
–	Women Do Not Have “Dating Issues.” Only Men do. For some reason Pretending its anywhere Equal It is a likelihood difference. I can leave my drinks unattended at bars as a man and the risk of being roofied is so small it may as well be zero. I can be alone with a date and if making out starts leading towards unwanted sex, I can just say that I'm not into it with minimal risk of sexual assault. The risk of me being assaulted doesn't increase much by dating. The risk of women getting assaulted goes up significantly by dating.	/r/PurplePillDebate	18/05/26 03:27 PM
3	Many women want a man who is "generous" without being generous themselves. In my experience, every woman with a full-time job has always insisted on splitting the bill on a first date, followed by taking turns on covering future bills. Are you referring to people without a full-time job? Certainly if one person has as full-time job and the other doesn't, it isn't unreasonable for the full-time person to cover the bill.

I was a 1.4 out of 10 before, and I managed to build myself up to a 5 out of 10. I am undoubtedly more attractive to someone 12 years younger than me than I was when I was the same age as them. So I think the statement still can apply to unattractive people. It isn't a guarantee though. If I just kept bumming it up, then I'd just be worse not better than I was in my younger years.

Certainly children's needs are a priority, but a part of that priority is showing them what a healthy relationship looks like. By overprioritizing the children, we neglect our own individual needs, and the needs of a relationship.

2	The "she did it with her ex but won't with me" situation is typically valid for a man to be concerned about. This is almost always scenario one. If it was scenario two, the person probably wouldn't be with you. The last sentence seems funny to me since I want to be the the safe, lower-desire, less exciting option for someone.

If women are happy being single, why jeopardize it by being with a man with undesirable traits? Also men generally value sex more than women, though there are plenty of exceptions.

The simple formula for adults and dating ages is: Age/2 + 7. For Kim, that is 45/2 + 7 = 29. Pete was 32, so that was completely reasonable.

6	I find it EXTREMELY hard to sympathize with most of women's dating woes. These men are on dates. Of course the men who aren't dating or are in long term stable relationships aren't seeking sex. And not all men on dates are seeking sex. As someone who is asexual, I would be an example of a man who goes on dates and doesn't seek sex.

It isn't like the women are all lesbians, or the men have multiple relationships with women. Obviously that means there are plenty of women under 30 who are dating men who are 30+.

When a crime is suspected, the claim isn’t innocence. The claim is that the defendant is guilty and the burden of proof is on the prosecution. Thus when a trial ends, defendants are found guilty or not guilty. They are never found to be innocent. Inadequate proof always favors the defendant, as it should.	/r/PurplePillDebate	25/04/26 04:35 PM

Attractive women are also treated better and get more chances, more forgiveness, more interest, and more room for error. That is just a rule for attractive people in general. The halo effect applies to everyone. Also when women are assertive in the workplace, we say they are a bitch, but when men do it, they are leaders.

Not saying that chance is high, but I am saying it is higher than it ever was when I was in my 20s. Not that I am not seeking any women in their 20s.

0	How women can find men that prioritize connection above sex I agree. It is easier online where I can have a profile, but in person it is kind of difficult to have it known. I’ve always made sure to let it be known before the end of a first date, but now I get that information out before any date, Between being panromantic and asexual, I am a dealbreaker for most of the population.	/r/PurplePillDebate	28/02/26 09:28 AM
0	How women can find men that prioritize connection above sex Makes sense. I didn’t factor that women approaching would significantly decrease finding an assertive man, and women commonly appreciate that trait. Thank you for the feedback. Responses like this are the reason I ask for the community’s thoughts.	/r/PurplePillDebate	28/02/26 04:47 AM
0	How women can find men that prioritize connection above sex That is kind of my point. Men who approach women usually want sex, so perhaps the ones who don’t approach are a mix of men who prioritize sex but are afraid to approach and men who just don’t prioritize sex. Of course the theory falls apart of there is no such thing as a man who doesn’t prioritize sex and isn’t asexual. If anyone is a man who doesn’t prioritize sex and isn’t asexual, please reply so we know such a man does exist.	/r/PurplePillDebate	28/02/26 04:41 AM
0	How women can find men that prioritize connection above sex I can only base it on observations and seeing the success of the few women I know that approach. I am asexual so I can’t relate to this compulsory sex drive that men seem to have. I always approach since I am very selective and I have so far turned down all approaches since I have never been approached by an asexual compatible person. If all men have equal desire for sex over connection then the theory falls apart.	/r/PurplePillDebate	28/02/26 04:32 AM
1	How women can find men that prioritize connection above sex If choosing among the approaching men, if you don’t wait until sex later you still end up wasting a lot of time filtering through sex prioritized men. Some of those men may be sex starved men and will still keep holding out, so that can be an issue as well. It is still a decent strategy, but I think women choosing out of the larger pool still works better to avoid the men who are all about sex.	/r/PurplePillDebate	28/02/26 04:09 AM
4	Men say they want “good girls” but they reward hoes This post feels a bit contradictory. "I’ve been celibate for almost 4 years because I wanted my next sexual experience to be in a relationship" and "I’m entering my hoe phase and prioritising my own experience instead of trying to fit an ideal that men say they want but don’t actually choose." Did you want your next sexual experience to be in a relationship because you want that, or because you felt like men want that? If you are prioritizing your own experience, then you need to figure out what…	/r/PurplePillDebate	28/02/26 01:05 AM
1	Men get what they deserve in dating and casual sex scene I am bit unsure how that is the case. I have no shortage of empathy, my first relationship went 12 years until death parted us. My last relationship was with a virgin and I was unwilling to pop the cherry unless we were life partners since she valued waiting for the right person. To me if I was how most people are, after I felt the romantic spark I would have tried to move the relationship towards sex. And then when the relationship doesn’t work out after sex I would just move forward as a guy t…	/r/PurplePillDebate	27/02/26 03:11 PM
2	A lot of guys here endlessly whine about dating, but only give the most lukewarm effort into actually doing it I took the same approach of escalating risks to help me get out of my comfort zone. I was already plenty good at talking to people of any gender, but I wanted to start giving compliments to people who had cool style choices, but I realized what held me back was my own appearance. I looked so unkempt that I felt like I would creep a person out by giving a compliment instead of boosting their confidence. I eventually found my own style, learned that perming my hair makes it far more manageable, an…	/r/PurplePillDebate	27/02/26 02:17 AM
–	Do you as a man want a financial equal partner? It is too impractical to find a financial equal partner. There are many different salaries and they change throughout a career. I think it is mentally unhealthy for a person to stay at home all day not working. People want to make a difference. Doing so by earning money for the family, putting hours in as a volunteer, or raising children too small to go to school can all provide this feeling. I was the sole breadwinner in a 12 year relationship. It was exhausting. Thankfully I liked my job, but …	/r/PurplePillDebate	27/02/26 12:20 AM
2	This "treat me like a human" thing that women repeat is something men could say too. Not all the apps have a spot to put down your orientation, so I have had the awkwardness that is pursuing women that may or may not be ok with me being bi. I have since learned to just put it in my bio so I don't have to figure out how to fit my orientation into the conversation. I do agree though it feels like pulling teeth trying to get words out of many of the hetero women on the apps. It was actually so exhausting I switched to guys on the apps for a bit. But then it was exhausting that ever…	/r/PurplePillDebate	26/02/26 11:35 PM
4	This "treat me like a human" thing that women repeat is something men could say too. As a guy that swings both ways, I much prefer dating women where I have to put effort to seek a match, than dating guys where I get so many matches from people who have nothing in common with me. I feel like it is worse for women since guys seem more likely to lie to them and there are power dynamics as well. At first all the matches from men were flattering, but eventually it just felt so icky. It makes me feel like all I am good for is to be a piece of flesh to have sex with and no one cares a…	/r/PurplePillDebate	26/02/26 09:15 PM
1	Men get what they deserve in dating and casual sex scene I don’t feel like I am cold hearted, but I seem to be able to have sex without emotional attachment. I don’t seem to desire it so I have a low body count, but I can do it. Also why did god design me to be able to be with all genders? It seems really weird considering the world is supposedly built around males and females being together. I think people generalize a bit too much. Having lots of casual sex with many partners probably isn’t healthy due to risk of STDs and what not. But making statem…	/r/PurplePillDebate	26/02/26 08:06 PM
9	This "treat me like a human" thing that women repeat is something men could say too. Which makes it a huge headache for women. They get approached by so many men who are interested in them for their gender and appearance that they have no idea of any of them even care about who they are as a person. As an average at best guy, if a woman approaches me, then I know they actually like something about me more than my appearance. Women seem to be more likely to lie to try to let someone down more gently, but men seem more likely to lie about all sorts of stuff to keep the dating proc…	/r/PurplePillDebate	26/02/26 05:38 PM
2	CMV: Most young men would benefit greatly from going on as many dates as possible. There is research and reflection in between the dates. I don't see it much different than getting better at interviews for jobs. I was terrible before, but I did research and reflected on what went bad. Now I do well in interviews. This same approach works with dating. As for dates, some people had really good questions for me. I kept a mental note of those questions and I use them in future dates. More importantly, I learned what I like and don't like so I can better filter out before a date.	/r/PurplePillDebate	26/02/26 04:55 PM
1	CMV: Most young men would benefit greatly from going on as many dates as possible. Going on dates to learn more about your own likes and dislikes? Getting more comfortable on a date? Learning which questions are good and bad to ask on a first date? Why would it be so bad to get some rehearsal practice in by going on more dates with lower stakes? For people who are less experienced it makes sense to get some practice dates where there is less pressure rather than trying to go into a high pressure date with genuine attraction and not knowing how hold a decent conversation with s…	/r/PurplePillDebate	26/02/26 01:37 AM
9	CMV: Most young men would benefit greatly from going on as many dates as possible. Not all of us are social butterflies. Some of us need the practice. Meeting more people, learning more perspectives, getting more comfortable with yourself is very much not a waste of time. Each date can help a person find out more about what they like and don't like. Also a person could be surprised and end up liking the person, or they could make a new friend. The turning people down afterwards makes me feel bad though, so I learned to be far more particular so I didn't have keep turning peopl…	/r/PurplePillDebate	26/02/26 01:26 AM
1	QFW: Do you care if the guy doesn’t dress or prepare all that well for a date, if he still picks you up and takes you there, pays for everything, and tries to treat you in a special way? That is an issue caused by men. Women generally do not evaluate if a man as a good candidate to date by seeing if they are taken or if they frequently get dates. Men on the other hand judge other men this way and look down on men that can’t secure a partner or casual sex. As a guy I never feel like women look down on me for being single, and some women show interest in wanting to change that. They did regard me lower whenever I had poorer style and hygiene which seems reasonable enough. There ar…	/r/PurplePillDebate	24/02/26 11:49 PM
2	Online dating is “broken” but somehow millions of people are dating 🤔 I don't think it has to work this way. With a profile with very limited pictures that make it difficult to gauge attractiveness, I have been able to get dates and form relationships. I just write a good profile and send really good intro messages that state what I am about to people that seem to be on the same page. I can certainly make myself look extra attractive for photos, or even pay a photographer or editor if I wanted to really get the best photos. But then I would be attracting the wrong…	/r/PurplePillDebate	24/02/26 03:52 AM
1	"Dating for men is so easy. You have to be normal" Is one of the most cringe and false statements of all time I had one for 12 years and it is something special for sure, but if I never had another one I wouldn’t feel incomplete.

2	“Men want love too” until you explain that relationships should NOT be seen as the cost of sex. Far more than anyone should ever go through 😂 But I grew a lot from it and I’m a fair bit more particular now since I don’t want to go through that again. I don’t regret that relationship though as rough as it was sometimes. I feel like any relationship I’m in will always be a bit complicated since I am a bit of a strange fellow. I don’t even qualify as a man anymore. I probably should have put a /s in case people can’t tell I am just committing to a bit. I am plenty comfortable with being a guy…	/r/PurplePillDebate	18/02/26 09:36 PM
2	“Men want love too” until you explain that relationships should NOT be seen as the cost of sex. I’ve had an attractive waitress touch me on the shoulder in a suggestive way and I felt so ill that I showered as soon as I got home. While she was attractive she wasn’t my type and I didn’t want to be touched. Surprisingly when my buddy bought me a lap dance I was fine with it the physical contact, so it just matters the person and situation I guess. The last woman I fell in love with was before we ever made physical contact. I like sex plenty enough, but it just isn’t a driving force and in my…	/r/PurplePillDebate	18/02/26 09:19 PM

Unfortunately people flake. When we are vibing, the idea of meeting up with someone that we are messaging sounds awesome.

Perhaps I am a weirdo, but I had no problem being in a loving relationship with years of no sex. I also have no problem having sex without love. The two don't seem related to me.

Also there is nothing wrong with unloading on reddit. It isn't as personal as unloading on a friend. As far as texting conversations, I find paragraphs are detrimental to a conversation.

1	"Dating for men is so easy. You have to be normal" Is one of the most cringe and false statements of all time Sounds like you do a really good job on the filtering process, be it intentional or not. On apps it is just having some effort on the profile, not looking like you smell bad, and revealing some of your personality in your initial message.

You have to be normal" Is one of the most cringe and false statements of all time If there is a bunch of topics that make a person get angry to discuss, that seems like a good thing to get out of the way early. May as well learn those things at the beginning to see if there are any dealbreakers and if healthy communication is possible.

It just might take a lot of tries which makes a lot of sense if you look at the math.
