7	Proper blue pill dating advice instill dread Nothing says respectful and healthy like emotional manipulation and mind games. So much for honor being a male abstraction. don't care about giving her an orgasm Sorry, a sub which is apparently dedicated to the obtaining of casual sex advocates being shitty at it on purpose?	/r/PurplePillDebate	11/03/14 10:33 PM
1	What does your side get wrong? I'm not really seeing the fallacy. Saying (as reason-and-rhyme did) that TRP is good for self help stuff, but it also has another, less appealing side, is just wrong IMO. Yeah, if I dig through shit I might find something worthwhile, or at least not utterly devoid of content, but it doesn't really make sense to do that, considering the amount of other places I could go without the racism, sexism and other bullshit. Saying that it's fallacious to say "instead of X, why not go to A,B,C and D, when…	/r/PurplePillDebate	01/02/14 01:26 AM
2	What does your side get wrong? I don't think TRP helps at all though, that's my point, its efficacy is precisely what's the issue here. I think the idea of TRP as something comparable to AA primarily is ridiculous, the men who turn to TRP to get their insecurity validated by pseudo-scientific theories about how all (or most) women are inherently unintelligent and subservient whores are not comparable to alcoholics. TRP doesn't help people who are lonely or heartbroken, it reinforces a conspiratorial mindset that they aren't a…	/r/PurplePillDebate	31/01/14 06:27 PM
6	What does your side get wrong? I agree with most of what you've said, but this: TRP is far from devoid of good content. There's lots of good advice for self-improvement, getting laid, and protecting yourself legally in relationships. is bull. It is extremely dishonest for TRP to state that these things are fundamental to its philosophy. These things are common sense, no more insightful than saying water is wet. If I want solid, specific advice about working out (as opposed to 'lift' being the only thing offered in TRP), I'd g…	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/01/14 09:27 PM
18	Getting laid isnt all that hard. The only parts of Red Pill philosophy that I don't think are junk are the parts that directly pertain to becoming more dateable or a better person: take women off the pedestal (but don't treat them as inferior), dress well, get in shape, learn to assert yourself (without being a douche), become interesting, and dedicate yourself to the things that matter to you. That's because anyone, Red, Blue, Purple or any affiliation with a lick of sense would tell you those things. If you asked anyone for a…	/r/PurplePillDebate	20/12/13 06:31 PM
5	Blue Pill Advice Exactly. I don't need to be a feminist to look at TRP and think "those people are fucking nuts". There's an interesting caricature that TRP seem to have built up, namely that the only opposition that they can have come from extreme feminists, or 'betas', which is patently untrue. It's a bit like people screaming about SRS brigades, because they were called a dick after being a dick.	/r/PurplePillDebate	05/12/13 02:14 AM
4	TBP: why do you bag on STEM so much? That's what annoyed me as well. Instead of replying to me, or to saintmorning directly, there was an edit which no-one would see unless they checked again like I did, in which he said nothing of any value and mocked us for replying, in saintmorning's case, with evidence. I don't understand what that achieves tbh.	/r/PurplePillDebate	20/11/13 01:53 AM
14	TBP: why do you bag on STEM so much? Does that excuse douchbaggery and condescension? Also, I'm not from the US, college is a lot cheaper where I'm from, so I'd wager that plays into my attitude towards what you do your degree in. A lot of the time I've seen such comments weren't lambasting someone for their job prospects, or how much money they spent on it, rather it was more directed at the content of the subject itself. Most of the time it's directed at sociology, anthropology, psychology etc, which is fantastically stupid consi…	/r/PurplePillDebate	19/11/13 08:25 PM
21	TBP: why do you bag on STEM so much? I don't think TBP bags on STEM itself, more the attitude popularly espoused within TRP that liberal arts majors are useless and good for nothing but Starbucks. You can see an awful lot of that on TRP, especially where it relates to women having non-STEM degrees (obviously, women are unable to deal with logicTM) It's a reactionary counterjerk, one that's not at all unique to TBP, circlebroke also indulge in a bit of counterjerking too. So don't be insulted, they don't mean the majority of STEM, j…	/r/PurplePillDebate	19/11/13 07:59 PM
