It does if your partner genuinely loves you. My husband and I BOTH frequently do these things for each other because we enjoy it.
/r/PurplePillDebate18/08/26 10:42 PM

Same here! One of the biggest reasons I’m with my husband is because of how playful and whimsical he can be. He adores the sappy shit (ngl I’m not into that much, but it makes him SO happy so 🤷‍♀️). We do dumb romantic things for each other and enjoy it together. It’s honestly like a breath of fresh air

You don’t believe men can be raped? Welp, explains a lot. Take care

Then would you at least agree that the criminal justice system needs a reform, ESPECIALLY for sex crimes? That’s literally the bare minimum since rape is hard to prove. Because again, how would you feel if your wife raped you one night but left no visible damage. You go to the police and they laugh in your face. There’s no evidence. You see her pursuing one of your friends. You wouldn’t warn him and would just let him get hurt? That’s not moral at all
/r/PurplePillDebate11/08/26 03:27 PM

Again, what should women do that are raped in a relationship and have no proof? It’s very telling that you refuse to see both sides of this. You only care that a few men won’t be falsely accused and don’t care at all about the women who were raped. I hope your wife knows you hold this view

You didn’t read what I wrote at all. I’m not for hunting down the person. They should not lose their job. If they’re fired over an accusation, they should have the right to sue for wrongful termination My point is that we need to look at nuance here. Look at my point about women who are raped by their partner. They’ll likely have no proof. What should they do in your opinion? Can they tell their friends to avoid this man so they don’t risk getting hurt? What if she stays silent and another gets …

I’ve never said to gather pitchforks and hunt the guy down if it’s not proven lol. Personally I do not believe that should happen. But, I don’t see anything wrong with people choosing to no longer associate with a man that was accused. If I was accused of something (even if I didn’t do it) I would understand why some people wouldn’t want to be around me anymore. I’d hope those in my life would believe me, but I’m not going to force them to stay or be upset if they leave. For protection against f…

Because you are quite literally saying you’re ok with a woman suffering and potentially losing her life due to the trauma over a rapist’s feelings. I’m specifically talking about a case where a woman WAS raped and tells people. You just want to shut them up Innocent until proven guilty ONLY applies to the court of law. The public is allowed to have their own opinions. I’m asking you this because I want to know what you’d do. If your wife told you she was raped and was visibly distraught, but had…

This guy’s allegedly married so 🤷‍♀️ I hope his wife is taking as much advantage of him as she can ngl
/r/PurplePillDebate11/08/26 02:29 PM

Let’s say you both change, but in different ways and are no longer compatible. You don’t enjoy spending time together. She feels ignored and unloved because you can no longer relate to her. She feels isolated and suicidal due to this. Or what if she was no longer attracted to you? Would you want to force her or shame her into staying? Would you at least try therapy?
/r/PurplePillDebate11/08/26 02:28 PM
1

No, I’m asking that if she happens to develop PTSD, you would feel absolutely nothing for her? If so, you need to be honest that you don’t care about her at all so she can make an informed decision Would you be alright in a relationship where your wife secretly laughs and is happy when you’re in pain?
/r/PurplePillDebate11/08/26 02:26 PM

So what’s the alternative that’s not just sweeping the victim under the rug? If this was your wife or sister, how would that make you feel? Or would you just happily watch them suffer since it doesn’t affect you?
/r/PurplePillDebate11/08/26 02:25 PM

Then sure. Not his fault and his heart’s in the right place.
/r/PurplePillDebate11/08/26 04:51 AM

Ok, but why is he doing this? It can’t be for financial reasons if he can cover the kid. I guess, how does he feel about magically not being able to pay for the woman? Does it bother him and would he do EVERYTHING else possible to help out? This is honestly what it would hinge on for me on whether I’d agree to this. Why is this happening and how does he feel about it/would he do everything in his power to help? If it were completely out of his control, but it distresses him that he can’t help an…

So you’d make a joke out of your wife’s trauma. Perfect example of someone that sees their wife as an object/toy
/r/PurplePillDebate11/08/26 04:35 AM

So would he watch as both her and his own child starve and live on the streets? I’m confused how this would happen in any remotely healthy relationship. Could you elaborate Like, does he own his own place? Does he rent? Why would he not let her (someone he supposedly cares about) stay with him?

Yes, replied to the wrong comment 🤦‍♀️ Sorry about that

If your wife was raped, but had no proof, would you just laugh as she suffers and deals with the trauma?
/r/PurplePillDebate11/08/26 04:03 AM

Rape is notoriously hard to prove. If there’s no evidence, what should happen? The victim can never tell anyone? Say your child was raped and murdered and you saw who did it. There was no evidence nor proof except for you. You’d happily live your life and never tell anyone? If you saw that same person around your friend and their child, would you tell them? Or nah cause you don’t have proof?
/r/PurplePillDebate11/08/26 04:01 AM
2

If someone raped your child, but you didn’t have proof, and you saw this same person hanging around another family and their child, would you say something?
/r/PurplePillDebate11/08/26 03:54 AM
1

If a woman is raped but has no proof, you believe she deserves to suffer in silence? Why are you wanting to protect rapists? Or what would you say should happen in this situation? Which is very common btw as rape is notoriously hard to prove (very convenient for rapists) Like if your spouse (or sister/close female friend/whatever was raped), would you care? Yes or no? What if she had no proof? Would you just laugh as they suffer from the trauma?
/r/PurplePillDebate11/08/26 03:51 AM
2

What if there’s no proof tho? Rape is notoriously difficult to prove. This is very convenient for rapists to get away with it and make victims just stfu
/r/PurplePillDebate11/08/26 03:49 AM
2

What do you think should happen if a woman is raped by her then boyfriend, but has no ‘proof’. Is she never allowed to discuss this ever? Rape is notoriously hard to prove so this situation isn’t uncommon. So you’re saying victims that will not have evidence to go through the legal system should be forced to stay silent? Because they will have to live with that trauma every single second of every day
/r/PurplePillDebate11/08/26 03:44 AM
2

And if she develops PTSD from the unwanted sexual acts, what then? Doesn’t matter to you even if her mental health becomes incredibly damaged and potentially tries to end her life?
/r/PurplePillDebate11/08/26 12:32 AM

So if your wife became miserable and was hating life and was literally suffering, you genuinely believe she should not be able to divorce? You would enjoy watching someone you care about suffer and be unhappy? A bit strange
/r/PurplePillDebate11/08/26 12:30 AM

Makes sense. I was thinking of a situation where a partner earns maybe half of what their partner does and how that could be ‘fair’
/r/PurplePillDebate10/08/26 11:42 PM
11

What do you do if your partner has no left over money after splitting 50/50 with you? Do you never go on dates or trips together? Seems weird that you wouldn’t want to enjoy those things with your partner if they can’t afford it, but 🤷‍♀️ This is only healthy if you exclusively pursue women that make relatively the same. Otherwise, you’re admitting that you’re fine with them being stressed and struggling
/r/PurplePillDebate10/08/26 11:36 PM

Just to be clear, do you not believe in caring for a partner? It’s just 100% transactional with no emotions or attachment? Most neurotypical people do not think this way
/r/PurplePillDebate10/08/26 07:45 PM
7

What would happen in a situation where the woman falls suddenly ill or injured? Would the man abandon them and let them be homeless? The situation you’re presenting would not happen in a healthy relationship where both partners care about each other’s wellbeing
/r/PurplePillDebate10/08/26 07:30 PM

I don’t think it’s a majority of men tbh. I think it’s a loud amount of men chronically online and likely neurodivergent (and not saying neurodivergent people can’t be decent people. I’m neurodivergent as well. But a lot of men’s thinking here heavily falls into black/white thinking and genuinely not being able to understand relationships and social settings)
/r/PurplePillDebate10/08/26 07:26 PM
1

This. Like…aren’t relationships give and take because you care about the person? If my partner lost his job, I’d cover for him because I care about him. I’d expect the same in turn. I feel like OP is trying to make this out like women are just after money. But….you typically have to eventually use money on someone you care about because unexpected events happen. This question just isn’t being asked in good faith
/r/PurplePillDebate10/08/26 07:23 PM

If you’re married, what happens in a medical emergency? Would you just watch your spouse and be like ‘lol not my problem’? At that point, that’s not really a relationship where you care about each other.
/r/PurplePillDebate10/08/26 07:21 PM

Genuinely, what is the point of this question? If you were a woman that would be enduring pregnancy and birth, what would your answer to this question be?
/r/PurplePillDebate10/08/26 07:20 PM

I don’t think a lot of those women would be freaking out if their partners still frequently desired and had sex with them tho. I’ve known a couple women who actually had to borderline beg for their partners to be intimate with them (and no, these women didn’t let themselves go and they were not ones with low drives). If you choose porn over having sex with your partner or are actively fantasizing about another person during sex (or choose to masturbate with a toy over having sex), your partner i…

Initially, smaller (because it’s the toys I’d just had at the time). Now I literally have a mold of his dick 🤷‍♀️ It’s nice but it doesn’t compare to actual sex at all. It’s not comparable at all, sex with my husband is way more pleasurable
/r/PurplePillDebate10/08/26 04:05 AM
2

You didn’t answer my question tho. If she didn’t want to, would you still want her to say yes even if she wouldn’t enjoy it? I’d assume most people would want sex where BOTH people are enthusiastic and enjoying it
/r/PurplePillDebate06/08/26 08:16 PM

You would want a woman to say ‘yes’ even tho she doesn’t want to do it/or can’t do it without getting hurt?

Do you have a source that only 10% of women don’t do hookups?

Not religious, but interesting that’s your assumption
/r/PurplePillDebate05/08/26 11:39 PM

So again, how does this apply to women that have never done hookups?
/r/PurplePillDebate05/08/26 01:32 PM
1

You’re being purposefully dense. Do you not talk about contraception or STDs prior to having sex? If you don’t discuss what will happen if an accidental pregnancy happens (ESPECIALLY if you don’t wear a condom), you deserve anything that happens after 🤷‍♀️ A conversation takes 5 minutes
/r/PurplePillDebate05/08/26 01:31 PM

/r/PurplePillDebate01/08/26 05:30 PM

It really depends on how you word it tho (and yes, how you communicate matters). If you were to just say that you can’t/won’t be able to handle being with someone that’s been through major traumas, no reasonable person will be upset. If you try and make blanket statements like women that have been sexually abused are unloveable and no one wants them, that’s not only problematic, but also incredibly close-minded and ignorant. There’s not really any good reason to even say the latter either unless…
/r/PurplePillDebate01/08/26 05:28 PM
2

Sure, but let’s say that you have sex and don’t discuss what happens if an accidental pregnancy happens. You’re either in a red state or wouldn’t have an abortion yourself. The man wants nothing to do with it and would prefer you abort. What happens? When this isn’t discussed prior, this can leave A LOT of women in an extremely vulnerable position. Same with the man if he just assumes she would abort. This is EASILY something that could have been avoided with a quick chat and is the responsible …
/r/PurplePillDebate01/08/26 12:18 AM
2

Your choice, but it’d be weird to be upset if you later find out that their views differ from yours 🤷‍♀️ Do you not have conversations to get to know your partners?
/r/PurplePillDebate01/08/26 12:06 AM
2

Mature people? It’s how you make sure you’re compatible and on the same page. You shouldn’t be having sex with people if you can’t have a conversation with them, tho people will anyways and wonder why things turned out wrong
/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 11:16 PM
2

And that’s fine. But don’t claim that it’s not about trust, because it is. If you even think there’s a possibility your partner would cheat, you don’t fully trust them. And that’s fine, just be honest and admit that I’m not saying YOU specifically if this doesn’t apply to you. But in general.
/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 09:28 PM
1

It does tho. Because you can’t say it’s not about trust or thinking she cheated if that’s literally one of your reasons for requesting one. At least be honest. It IS about a lack of trust and you DO at least think there’s a possibility she cheated if you want a paternity test for a reason other than a genuine mixup at the hospital I don’t understand why it’s so bad to admit this
/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 09:22 PM
1

Are those your genuine concerns when asking for a paternity test? And the possibility that she cheated isn’t even considered at all, and you have COMPLETE trust in her? I’m asking for completely honestly on your perspective since I’m curious
/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 09:14 PM
2

Genuinely, what are the risks OTHER than the hospital potentially fucking up that do not involve her cheating? I’m not being snarky, I’m serious The ONLY way it could come back negative is if she cheated, correct?
/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 09:03 PM
2

Thank you for being honest. This does still seemed skewed so the woman in this situation is technically in a lose-lose either way (either she stays unhappy or she’s selfish and doesn’t care). But to each their own
/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 08:52 PM
2

So then, what should she do in that situation that ISNT selfish to you? That’s what I’m curious about. Are the options her stay and be unhappy or leave and you see her as selfish? If this was your partner, what would you prefer them to do that wouldn’t have you think they’re being selfish (I’d assume you wouldn’t want her to be unhappy either)
/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 08:45 PM
2

My question goes beyond this tho. Again, say she communicates with him and wants this to work. Does everything she can, therapy, couple’s counseling, you name it. And she still feels hurt and can’t get over those feelings and can’t feel emotionally safe with him again so matter what she tries. What should happen? Not everything can be worked through and overcome with therapy or communication. So in that scenario, what can she do?
/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 08:37 PM
2

Again, you aren’t actually answering my question. So let’s reframe-she wants to support her husband. She understands why it’s important to him. But she still feels hurt by the lack of trust. How would YOU say that she can prioritize her husband while feeling hurt and betrayed? You keep saying her leaving isn’t a problem but then immediately say that she’s being essentially selfish. So what’s the option if her staying and being unhappy and her leaving are both her being essentially selfish? She’s…
/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 08:30 PM
2

You’ve never actually answered what I’m asking tho. I asked you specifically about the woman in that situation and you completely ignored it So again—if a woman prioritizes her husband’s request even tho it hurts her, and is unable to overcome that hurt and cannot feel emotionally safe with him again, what should she do?
/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 08:14 PM
2

So you want to manipulate the woman into staying? Genuinely why does it bother you SO much that a woman might leave if something crosses her boundary? You are inherently incompatible.
/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 08:07 PM
2

But is he being honest? That’s what matters. If the ONLY REASON you’re asking is because you suspect a hospital mixup, then you’re right. If it’s for any other reason, you should be honest and not lie by omission to your wife. It’s interesting how you avoid answering what a woman should do if she feels betrayed and just switched goals. It’s like it just doesn’t matter to you Do you think a woman is in the wrong for feeling hurt that her partner needs confirmation she didn’t cheat? I’m not compar…
/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 08:02 PM
2

No, I mean what would you think of a situation where a man asks, the woman agrees, it’s his, and she is hurt and cannot overcome that even with therapy and couples counseling. What can she do that would be ‘right’ in your eyes? Or is the only way she wouldn’t be ‘selfish’ would be to just stop feeling that way to not inconvenience the man? Because the options quite literally come down to either stay and continue being hurt/unhappy throughout the marriage or to divorce. Because again, she can agr…
/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 07:56 PM

Yeah, I don’t think that kind of betrayal is something that can ever be fully mended. Cheating in general can’t. But in this case, the best we could do is prison + giving his money back. I don’t feel like this should be controversial
/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 07:45 PM
2

I just don’t agree that a woman sticking to her boundaries means that she doesn’t care about her partner. Some hurts will NEVER go away no matter how much you love that person. Feelings cannot always be reasoned with, especially a betrayal like that. Like let’s say a man asks for a paternity test and his wife say ok. She stays. But she continuously feels hurt when the results proved that he’s the father because she never would’ve cheated. She feels betrayed that he viewed her that way or even su…
/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 07:43 PM

I mean, I’d still need more details. Were they toxic? Would he be at risk? Is she unstable? Are they still friends? Why haven’t I heard of them before? All of this is pretty relevant. Like, I know my husband’s personality and he would hate doing something like that. So him asking would literally mean his personality did a 180 and that’d be what’s actually alarming But as for what you are trying to get at, I trust him. I don’t immediately assume he’d cheat because I trust him. If he ever did beha…

/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 07:32 PM

I feel like you aren’t reading what I’m writing. Where did I say that women shouldn’t let or allow her partner to get a paternity test? Her feelings aren’t overriding you unless she tries to prevent you from getting one. I’ll say it again. I would not try and stop my husband from getting one if he felt that unsure. I would not fight it. We would do it. Get the confirmation that he’s the father and then end the marriage Also, why would you advocate for men to lie and not be honest? If you lie jus…
/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 07:28 PM
2

But again, why a stranger’s home? How is that not dangerous? Why would you not stay with a trusted friend or family? He would undoubtably question me if I asked as well. How would it be safe for me to stay with a stranger? Why would I be taking that risk when we can afford a hotel? It just makes ZERO sense I just cannot understand how this would happen in my marriage, especially since we have enough money for a nice hotel.
/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 07:25 PM

I mean, personally I’m not saying that he can’t do the test. He can if he wants that certainty. I will not stop him. But if the reasoning isn’t just that he truly (and honestly) believes the hospital fucked up, I would have to end our marriage (we could still co-parent if he’d want and I wouldn’t ask for anything, just keep what was mine). He’s not in the wrong for asking, but I wouldn’t be compatible with someone who’s asking for any reason other than suspecting the hospital messed up Are you s…
/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 07:18 PM

See, situations like that I can understand and I’m 100% on the side of those men. Paternity fraud IS fucked up and I personally don’t believe that men in that situation should be on the hook for that child and that woman should be in prison and pay the (not)father back the money she took. I know I can’t speak for all women here, and I have seen what you’re talking about, but imo those are women that just want their cake and eat it too. They aren’t decent people
/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 07:16 PM

I’m ngl fam, this conversation was years ago lol. I do remember him saying that he’d leave if he suspected cheated and/or didn’t trust his partner. What the specific details would be if a kid was actually born weren’t really discussed or I’m not able to remember, but the core point was that if he suspected his partner of cheating to the point of asking for a paternity test, there’s no point to continue the relationship. I’ll ask him his thoughts on it again tonight lol Ah, I misunderstood. So ag…
/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 07:12 PM

We actually have, not in relation to OUR kids, but this was a topic that came up earlier in our relationship and we were talking about how we saw it. His view was similar to mine, that if he suspected his partner of cheating, he would just leave. He doesn’t see a point in getting a paternity test (talking about himself), and would only see himself asking for both of us if we suspected our baby somehow got mixed up in the hospital. If he asked, I would want an open discussion about it. Why does h…
/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 06:58 PM

Yeah, I agree with you. A man should not be criticized if he asks for a paternity test. But I also disagree with the men here who think women are terrible if they breakup over it or are wrong for feeling hurt over the request
/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 06:53 PM
2

I mean, that heavily depends on context, doesn’t it? And honestly, I can’t even answer because my husband doesn’t have any exes 😂 So I’m not sure how this would even pan out. The closest is someone he’s been on a date with I guess, but honestly that alone wouldn’t have me thinking he’d automatically cheat I just can’t fathom a universe where this happens in a healthy marriage tho. We discuss EVERYTHING. He’s ALWAYS asking me for input before making any decisions, so are you asking if he asked me…
/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 06:49 PM
3

Tbf, I don’t think that most women see asking for a paternity test as immoral. Having it as a dealbreaker doesn’t mean that they see it as immoral, it just means they have a different view on trust. Neither is in the wrong. So he can ask for one, get it done, and she can breakup. But this is also why discussing this ahead of time (if possible) is important to not waste time on someone incompatible
/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 06:23 PM
2

True, but people not being able to communicate are simply not mature enough to be having sex. Unfortunately, those people will keep making bad decisions and we can’t do much about that. But we can try push this so that more people actually fucking TALK to someone they’re being intimate and vulnerable with. If you can’t talk to them, there’s something seriously wrong
/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 06:21 PM

Yeah, you worded this a lot better than I did tbh. Trust being earned vs being given really just depends on the individual.

I mean, you realize this can be solved by families having ‘villages’ to help them, right? Or at least available nannies (that’s provided for the parents) when needed. Society also needs to be more geared towards families, such as employers being understanding and accommodating
/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 06:18 PM

Eh, I disagree. I see it as fundamentally not trusting your partner. I believe that getting into intimate relationships is inherently a risk you have to take if you want to be in one. Think of all the things that you have to trust but can’t verify. You can never know 100% that your partner still loves you. You can never know if they secretly resent you. You’ll never know if they have a side piece and hide it well. But you trust that you know them. If you suspect something or don’t trust them, yo…

Fam, I have two children with my husband. They are both his as he is the only person I’ve ever been with and want to be with. He could do a paternity test and it would confirm they are his blood. But if he did, that means that on some level he believes that I’m capable of cheating on him and he doesn’t trust me. So that’d be the end of our marriage. So no, I’m not hiding anything. But I will not be in a marriage where my husband doubts my loyalty and does not trust me. I’m not sure why this ange…

Fam, our kids are literally my husbands. I’ve never even been with another person but him. But him requesting a paternity test literally means he doesn’t trust me and that he believes I’m capable of cheating. I do not believe that he is capable of cheating, so why would he believe that I am? Luckily he trusts me so this isn’t an issue. But if he’d ask, we’d do the test, he would see the kids are his, and we’d divorce 🤷‍♀️ There’s no secret and I wouldn’t try to stop him I’m not staying married t…

You have a discussion on what their views are. Do you not try and get to know your partner on a deeper level? Asking what their views on abortion or paternity testing isn’t absurd. If you decide to frame it in a stupidly cartoonish way, then of course no one talks like that. But anyone with an oz of social skills can ask very naturally. Bring up a recent case that involves paternity testing, ask them if they’d heard of it, what they think, etc. Like, do you guys really not try and get to know yo…

I mean if you change your mind later on, then fine. But you still need to be prepared for and accept that she’ll find it a dealbreaker and you won’t be compatible. That’s why having this discussion early on is important. Both people need to be on the same page If you try and do it behind her back, you are quite literally manipulating her and not letting her make an informed decision on whether she wants to be in a relationship with someone like that. Would you also be fine if your partner was mo…

That doesn’t change anything I said tho. The discussion still should be had Like genuinely, are you really just worried that it might put a woman off? Why do you not want a compatible partner?

You realize you can have a discussion naturally, right? It’s the same as with abortions. While getting to know each other, you ask them what their opinions are on abortions. If you two are going to be sexually active, you ask what’s the plan if they fall pregnant by accident. You do the same thing with paternity tests. Ask them for their opinion on them. Would they be ok with getting one if an unexpected pregnancy happens. Like, do people not try and get to know their partner’s views on serious …

Do you have children? I only ask because I do. Have two. They’re both my husband’s. And you know what? If he asked for a paternity test, then sure we can do that. But it’d also be the end of our marriage since he didn’t trust me. I have no desire to be in a marriage with a man that doesn’t trust me. He’d see that our daughters were his, but we would be over. I have never once even looked at another man since we’ve gotten together. If it’s not about trust, then tell me, how else could they not be…

It is just down to compatibility tho. There’s really no reason to NOT discuss this when filtering for a partner. What are you worried about? That they’ll walk away? That just means you were never compatible in the first place. So it’s not a loss. It doesn’t require mind reading It seems like you’r just upset that a potential partner may break things off if they disagree about a paternity test. That shouldn’t really be a problem since this is something you both need to be on the same page about. …

Why not just engage with women that share this view tho? It comes down to compatibility. Some women will find this a dealbreaker and that’s ok. It just means you aren’t compatible with them
/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 05:05 AM

I mean, it mostly has to do with compatibility imo. Personally, I wouldn’t be ok with a partner that feels the need for a paternity test. I trust my partner with a lot, and I expect that same level of trust back. For all know he could cheat on me and give me a dangerous STI, but I trust that that won’t happen. So I expect that same trust back. I don’t fundamentally see paternity tests as a bad thing, but wouldn’t want a partner that would need one. A man who wants a paternity test shouldn’t be w…
/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 05:02 AM

I mean, feeling a certain way isn’t punishing someone. Now if a man absolutely needs a paternity test, and that’s a dealbreaker for the woman, they may split up. But that’s not really a punishment. They are simply not compatible
/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 04:55 AM

/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 04:50 AM

No one reasonable would be against a campaign for that. I certainly wouldn’t. But honestly, it’s weird. OP is just saying that men should be upfront early on if they want a paternity test. Why is that a bad idea? It’s an excellent way to screen women and make sure you’re compatible
/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 04:49 AM

Why not bring this up early on then? If a woman has a problem with it, you are not compatible and you know you shouldn’t be having sex or getting into a relationship
/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 04:47 AM
3

I mean, this is exactly why men should bring this topic up early on, and I mean before things get serious or there’s a risk of the woman getting pregnant. If you want a paternity test, you need a woman that sees it the same way. You are not compatible with women that aren’t ok with paternity tests and that’s ok. You won’t be compatible with everyone
/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 04:46 AM

I mean, you brought up the bank accounts. Can I see how they are similar? Sure. Can I ask why you’re asking me if I see them as comparable issues? What you choose to do for finances is completely up to the couple. Some people will say to keep separate accounts and others will say a joint is better (me, for example). So it depends. A woman who insists on separate accounts needs to find a man that wants the same. Just like how a man that wants a paternity test needs a woman that also wants that as…
/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 04:43 AM

I mean, sure. But my point is that this is a point of compatibility. Which is why it needs to be discussed in advance before the relationship gets serious. If you want to have separate bank accounts and your partner wants only a joint, you aren’t compatible. No one’s in the wrong The same applies here. If a man knows he’s going to want a paternity test, he needs to find out the woman’s views on it. He needs a woman that sees it the same way. If he purposefully waits until she’s pregnant, then he…

We did initially, but we eventually settled into just the one joint account after almost a year (his idea) As for why we didn’t immediately do only a joint account, at the time neither of us had ever been in this committed of a relationship and didn’t know what we were supposed to do in terms of handling finances (didn’t have good parental figures to base off of), so we ended up just taking the advice of one of our close friends at the time lol
/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 04:23 AM

It’s really not tho. For example, my husband and I were together for close to 6 months before we had sex and were friends for about a year before that. And guess what? I don’t have a low drive or dislike sex. Neither does he. Someone wanting to be treated as a person and not a sex object at first isn’t being ‘sex negative’
/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 02:54 AM
5

Not wanting to have sex early doesn’t mean that someone doesn’t like sex tho. There’s a lot of reasons someone (man or woman) is only comfortable having sex within a committed relationship even if they love sex. I was one of those people who can’t have sex early, but loves sex and has a high sex drive even well into a relationship.
/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 02:47 AM

But then they can be with women that are ok with it. Some women don’t want to be in a relationship where their partner doesn’t trust them and there’s nothing wrong with that. So why is it an issue for men to bring this up earlier in dating? It’ll help match them with a woman that’s compatible with them. By waiting to reveal this, it comes across like they’re hoping the woman would be too invested to leave if it’s a dealbreaker for her Personally, I have never cheated and will never. But, I would…

If we advanced technology to allow men to become pregnant and give birth, would you do it? If not, you’re a major hypocrite. It’s very convenient to push for more births as a man since you don’t have to deal with ANY physical consequences So again, learn to be happy with declining birthrates unless you help make motherhood easier 😊
/r/PurplePillDebate30/07/26 06:55 PM

You’re more than free to carry as many pregnancies and birth as many children as you want fam 🤷‍♀️ But less women want to be used as incubators and finally are able to make that choice without pressure or judgement. You can either accept that and focus on how to make motherhood easier or stay salty as birthrates continue to decline. Up to you
/r/PurplePillDebate30/07/26 06:45 PM

People back then also had social pressures or things like religion that made them feel like they had to or should. The only way to say whether they were ‘happier’ is if they also were able to see how life could be without children and if that were a choice that would not be judged. If they’d still choose to have many kids even with that knowledge or pressure, then you’d have a point.

But has anything been done SPECIFICALLY to address things like sleep deprivation and the loss of freedom parenthood brings? Are there ways to pretty much guarantee no sleep deprivation or sleep interruptions AND allowing parents to have free time and time ALONE to spend with each other?

/r/PurplePillDebate30/07/26 05:28 PM

But that alone doesn’t prevent the sleep deprivation and loss of freedom that having children beings. We need a way to let people have a life similar to how it was pre-children. As in—can go on spontaneous dates, travel, sleeping in, etc

Then we better start actually looking into options to make motherhood more appealing. I guarantee you that if we had a way to assist parents so there was no risk of sleep deprivation or them losing freedom and their life prior to having children (having spare time and being able to have dates/trips together with their partner), more women would have kids Also more research to reduce the pain and lasting damage from birth (including body changes)
/r/PurplePillDebate29/07/26 09:39 PM

Very true, I guess I’ve just been unlucky enough to speak to the people that don’t agree. Especially on here I’ve seen some men argue that because a woman also wants kids and because she knows what the risks are, husbands shouldn’t be required to do more while she’s pregnant and postpartum. I truly hope those men are the minority But yes, I do 100% agree with you that these are different topics (that I see overlap often). It should not be treated as a lifelong debt. That’s unfair
/r/PurplePillDebate29/07/26 03:23 AM
2

It’s definitely not a scoreboard, but what about situations where the wife has permanent damage from the birth? Ideally, she should just do what she can without pushing her body more, right? That’s what seems fair to me since she is the only one that has to deal with that. I would also say the same if the husband somehow got a permanent injury or disability from his job or something
/r/PurplePillDebate28/07/26 09:39 PM
1

No, I’m saying that BOTH parents should get parental leave. An equal amount. But ON TOP OF THAT, women should get medical leave for the time needed to recover from the birth since it is a major medical event. Why would anyone be opposed to this? It’s not about a ‘gender war’, but that only one person has to physically heal and they need additional time for that. Parental leave and medical leave (recovering from the birth) should be separate
/r/PurplePillDebate28/07/26 05:43 PM
2

Would you say that the mother should get sick time for healing then on top of parental leave? Only the mother has to physically heal from the birth and it’s literally for medical reasons. Why should parental leave for the father also include time for physical healing? Was his body also permanently damaged and ripped apart?
/r/PurplePillDebate28/07/26 04:48 AM

Only works if kids aren’t involved. Or men also need to take 50% of pregnancy and birth and the permanent body damage that comes with it. 50/50 applies to EVERYTHING
/r/PurplePillDebate28/07/26 04:45 AM

If a couple both want kids, how can that be 50/50? How can the husband do 50% of the pregnancy (and feeling sick half the time), do 50% of the birth and have half of the permanent body changes and damage that come with that? It’s inherently lopsided if the husband isn’t essentially a fulltime caregiver to the wife and baby during pregnancy and postpartum

Nope. Cause men can do something back if a woman behaves that way. There are SEVERAL options that don’t involve injuring the other person. You can escape. You can restrain them.

The expectation is there because you can literally KILL someone. And women are expected to act like adults and not go around hitting people.

Eh it depends, you can easily argue that DV victims are CONSTANTLY at risk because their safety heavily depends on their abuser’s mood.

I don’t believe you should use excessive force unless you are literally in a life threatening situation (even then it should never cross into cruelty). Are those women in danger and have no way to escape? Then sure, I could see how self defense could result in killing if something like a gun is used. But they shouldn’t be aiming specifically to kill, just to incapacitate. The same goes for the men here. Is his life in danger or is he in a bad situation that he literally is unable to escape from?…

Can you link the data that specifies the crimes and injuries/damage were EXACTLY the same?
/r/PurplePillDebate20/07/26 06:38 PM
1

How so? A person (regardless of gender) should never use excessive force to retaliate. There is ABSOLUTELY NO reason to beyond just wanting to hurt that person and cause them harm Like genuine question, if a man much physically weaker than you hits you and you barely feel anything, why would you retaliate in a way that will injure or hurt them badly?
/r/PurplePillDebate20/07/26 06:37 PM

There’s inherently more physical harm in specific situations tho, which is why I was saying that rape isn’t the same. So by your own logic here, additional harm comes with additional charges. This doesn’t mean men are discriminated against if they cause more injuries or harm. If they genuinely were getting harsher punishments despite causing no damage or injury, then you’d have a point
/r/PurplePillDebate20/07/26 06:29 PM
1

It’s not the same action if they use more force. It’s inherently different Why should only weaker people stop antagonizing? If it’s out of fear, that’s automatically corrupt and fucked up
/r/PurplePillDebate20/07/26 06:23 PM
2

So let’s get this straight. Say a man rapes a woman so brutally that she is crippled for life. A woman rapes a man and he suffers no injuries. Both abusers should get punished. But one was worse than the other so it should get a worse punishment. That’s how it works. It’d be the same if you swapped the genders too If you get slapped but have no damage from it, is it the same as being slapped and having your jaw broken? Yes or no?
/r/PurplePillDebate20/07/26 06:21 PM
1

Again, where’s the discrimination? If you truly believe that stronger people should be allowed to injure or kill people in retaliation, then start protesting if the laws are so unjust 🤷‍♀️ You still have not addressed why the stronger person cannot control their strength. There’s no reason for them not to

It’s not what ‘they asked for’. Or are you saying that these women literally asked those men to injure them? Is this what you’re saying? If you hit someone, you are in the wrong. No excuse. But the aftermath is just as important. If someone lightly slaps you (yes this is still wrong, no excuse), if you hit them back so hard it knocks them out, that is automatically not the same thing. The literal equivalent would be lightly slapping them back. It’s also rather interesting that you seem to want t…

🤦‍♀️ What counts as ‘poking the bear’? Doing anything that the person doesn’t like? Trying to find ways that you can get away with physically harming someone is what’s fucked. Why would you even want to use full strength? I’m genuinely asking
/r/PurplePillDebate20/07/26 06:00 PM

You’re acting like women physically stronger than men doesn’t exist, so I’m asking for proof By this logic, you should always just appease those more physically powerful? That’s fucked up
/r/PurplePillDebate20/07/26 05:56 PM
3

Can you link any evidence that it is ‘vanishingly rare’? And again, people can literally CHOOSE how much strength to use. There’s absolutely never a good reason to use full force against someone much weaker than you. This is regardless of gender
/r/PurplePillDebate20/07/26 05:48 PM
2

So what about a situation where a stronger woman hits and seriously injures a weaker man? She should get the more serious punishment because she caused more harm. It’s not discrimination And it’s not inherent. You can choose whether to use full strength or not. Men are fully aware of their strength
/r/PurplePillDebate20/07/26 05:43 PM
3

Nope. I’m saying that PEOPLE who are physically stronger have a responsibility to control their strength as they can literally injure and kill people For example, a man hits a woman. And a woman hits a man. If they BOTH suffer the exact same level of injury, they should receive the same punishment regardless of gender. That’s not discrimination. If one ends up dead and the other is perfectly fine, that’s automatically not the same situation
/r/PurplePillDebate20/07/26 05:39 PM

Nope
/r/PurplePillDebate20/07/26 05:37 PM

This. Both situations are abusive and never acceptable. But one can literally kill or seriously injure a person. The outcomes are inherently different and has to be considered Also like…there are physically weak men out there and very powerful women. Even if you flip the genders, it still holds true. The stronger woman is responsible for her strength
/r/PurplePillDebate20/07/26 05:34 PM

The exact same crimes tho? For example, during a rape, do male victims also often suffer from internal or permanent physical injuries? This isn’t to say that women can’t rape men. Or that men can’t be traumatized. But I’m asking if it’s the EXACT same
/r/PurplePillDebate20/07/26 05:29 PM
6

They aren’t being discriminated against for merely being stronger. But in being stronger means you have a responsibility to control your strength. ‘With great power comes great responsibility’. That’s not discrimination

Exactly this. Do they think that standing up for civil rights meant you didn’t face opposition? When my dad was a kid, his parents ended up getting kicked out of their apartment for having non white people over for dinner. They still stood up for it. That’s the whole point
/r/PurplePillDebate20/07/26 02:49 PM

Eh, there’s really no point to white lies tho and they can break trust if your partner ever finds out. The healthiest relationships are ones where both can be honest (and you can also be kind when honest). If you get upset for your partner telling the truth (assuming it’s not ‘brutal honesty), that’s a big sign of immaturity imo. If you cooked something badly, surely you’d want to know so you can improve?
/r/PurplePillDebate18/07/26 11:46 PM

But many women, including myself DO acknowledge that men face these things (and a good partner will support their husbands when they’re injured or struggling too, like taking on a majority of the chores so he can relax). So why can’t you just acknowledge that childbirth and pregnancy are hard on women to experience? That’s literally all we’re asking for and for extra help and support during that time. If you won’t do that, then don’t be surprised that women don’t want to have children 🤷‍♀️ Empat…

No, I mean on a physical level. You have people that have very narrow views on what they find attractive, but I don’t think that’s most people. Most women I’ve spoken to about this have a very wide range of men they’d find attractive enough to date, and these men would fall in the average range (same as these women).

That would help make things equitable, but not EQUAL. The woman isn’t just losing money, so a man just paying money isn’t inherently equal. There has to be an EQUAL physical burden if you want true 50/50. For example, if you could spare your wife from suffering pelvic floor prolapse and perineal tears, would you do that for your child? Yes or no (if it were possible)? If no, then you are literally aware that you are very lucky to never have to risk that to have a child. You never have to worry a…

So you want your wife to have to do ALL the physical work of creating the child and pushing it out (and all the changes and damage that come with that). How is that equal?

Hard to say. In my own circle the women who had never wanted children still do not want children. The one who did change her mind, changed it while in a relationship with her partner But my guess is that most women who do change their minds might be realizing that single life or childfree life isn’t for them. So it’s less likely to be settling and more them maturing and having a better understanding of what they want in life
/r/PurplePillDebate10/07/26 11:26 PM

Enjoying the act of sex itself also doesn’t necessarily mean wanting sex with anyone tho. A woman can genuinely enjoy sex because of how bonding it is and because it’s fun with your partner. Sex isn’t purely physical for most people. It’s complex and different from masturbation (not just because there’s another person). It’s often incredibly intimate, pleasurable, relaxing, and increases the bond between you and your partner. That’s not having sex for some ulterior motive
/r/PurplePillDebate10/07/26 11:13 PM

Then that’s my bad for assuming that’s what you were insinuating. And is it actually rare? I can’t be one of the only women out there who actively enjoys sex and frequently seeks it out with my husband.

This is what I addressed in my comment because I had a feeling this is what OP was getting at. Most men in relationships will experience genuine sexual desire from their partner.

Yeah, some women definitely have issues beyond a low libido and I’d bet that it’s resentment and a lack of healthy communication.

How is it not relevant? The time off is literally to heal and that’s why women need it. The only reason a man would need that time is if he is also healing or taking care of the newborn, correct?

I didn’t compare it to a man being injured. I’m saying that the woman’s body is the one that does the ‘work’ so a couple can have a child, and that the woman’s body needs time to recover (same as someone who’s recovering from a major surgery).

I don’t think there’s a solution if there actually are so few high libido women. All I’m saying is that if men settle, there’s a high likelihood that the relationship will be unhappy and that there will be resentment and I don’t think either party should be to blame if this was communicated upfront.

I don’t think it has to do with men being ‘grateful’ for what they can get. A lot of men DO settle and that creates a massive problem when the resentment starts to set in.

The problem is that an incompatibility like this will lead to resentment and an unhappy relationship. If a man has a much higher libido than his partner, his partner should never be pressured to have unwanted sex. But the man is also allowed to feel rejected/unwanted/frustrated as well.

Women who genuinely believe that are incredibly childish and toxic There’s a difference between a partner wanting to help you feel better and being understanding when you’re struggling (such as during your period), and expecting them to put up with abuse and be your servant. Most women will want the former and there’s nothing wrong with that. A man that doesn’t want to do those things (on his own) isn’t compatible with them. Toxic women will act like the second.

A high libido couple might only be happy with twice a day The important part is finding a partner with a similar libido as you.

/r/PurplePillDebate29/06/26 04:02 AM

I mean, people have different libidos and it can fluctuate. If you are in a relationship with someone with a low libido and you have a high one, you aren’t compatible and you shouldn’t pressure them into having sex. If you’re looking for a committed longterm relationship, you also need to be ready to accept and deal with periods where sex will be infrequent (postpartum and menopause for example). A partner with a low libido still desires their partner. It’s just about finding a compatible partne…
/r/PurplePillDebate29/06/26 03:59 AM

I mean, men with higher libidos should only pursue women with similar libidos, and not pressure a lower libido partner. Tho both genders need to be aware (if they’re seeking longterm committed relationships) that libido does often change due to things like kids and menopause or severe stress. If you cannot go a period of time sexless if something happens to your partner, you need to seek partners that see it the same way. Either way, it needs to be an honest conversation

Not saying I disagree with you, but this is a lot more common than you’d think. Not necessarily just talking about anal either. But I’ve had partners that either didn’t care to pay attention or didn’t mind that I was in pain during sex. And I don’t necessarily think it’s gendered either.

Genuine question—when you say that some women would drop their lifestyle just to keep you, are you also considering her happiness and satisfaction in the relationship? If dropping that to keep you caused her to be unhappy, would you still be ok with that? I’m asking because I can’t really understand how you can say you care about your partner and be ok with them being deeply unhappy just to stay with you
/r/PurplePillDebate22/06/26 07:22 PM

/r/PurplePillDebate22/06/26 07:19 PM

Genuinely, what traits and behaviors in women were you referring to (that are in the minority or taken)? It’s hard to say whether asking for a compromise is valid or not without knowing the specifics. If it’s something like compromising on staying in more vs going out, I’d say most reasonable people would compromise. If it’s something like wanting your partner to just be ok with being hurt during sex or doing it even when they aren’t enjoying it, that’s a lot more grey
/r/PurplePillDebate22/06/26 07:18 PM

And those women are in the wrong and should absolutely not be shocked when the man doesn’t change. Trying to change someone is a shitty thing to do so I’m not sure why you’d want to be like women who act like that 🤷‍♀️

And women should keep rejecting and leaving men that aren’t compatible. No complaints, right?
/r/PurplePillDebate22/06/26 07:14 PM
5

What would you say the solution is for this then? Because trying to get women to change for a man and make herself unhappy isn’t good and hopefully no person would even want that If you’re incompatible with someone and you refuse to find someone else, you pretty much have to accept that it’ll likely result in resentment or one party being unhappy.
/r/PurplePillDebate22/06/26 07:11 PM

A healthy person won’t change things they genuinely value or do things that will hurt them tho. And a healthy person wouldn’t want someone to change (in a way that either hurts them or makes them unhappy) unless they don’t care about that person. If it’s something small, you have a point and a good partner will work with you. But you should never try and actively pressure/manipulate/or guilt a partner into something.

Why do men try and argue that women aren’t actually lonely because a random man is always willing to use their body for sex? To a lot of men here, someone being willing to masturbate with your body means you aren’t lonely

Honestly, porn shouldn’t be ‘punishable’ imo. BUT it is something that needs to be discussed truthfully to gauge compatibility. If someone tells you that porn is a boundary and they will not be in a relationship with someone who watches porn, there is no good reason to lie pr hide it just to be in a relationship with them. You’re incompatible. This ideally should be something discussed at the beginning of dating, but if not, then later on if a partner is uncomfortable with porn in a relationship…
/r/PurplePillDebate17/06/26 10:00 PM

That’s still not a good excuse to lead someone on tho. If you have a partner that’s deeply in love with you and you don’t feel the same way, you really need to be honest with them. Manipulating someone just so you won’t be lonely is an awful thing to do

But only women are the ones that have to actually deal with the consequences of pregnancy and birth. Usually a man’s body doesn’t go through crazy hormonal changes and permanent changes or damage. Biology is inherently unfair in this regard. Not men’s fault at all, but it should be acknowledged. Every women I know that’s had a child has some kind of permanent damage from it (something that negatively impacts their life significantly)

Genuine question—but how would you enjoy the ‘sex’ if your partner was hurting the whole time and essentially begging for it to be over? Personally, I care about my partner and seeing him in pain is not a turn on.

That brings you pleasure and joy? A decent person would not get sexual pleasure from their partner no…

I guess, let me re-phrase, would you be ok with duty sex that involves you being penetrated? Because that is a very big difference in how it feels. Being penetrated is completely different from being the penetrator. If that was already what you were referring to, then never mind. I was going off the assumption that you were doing the penetrating As for sex being physical, that really depends on the person.

I’ll try and use this next time! Tho I’ll be honest that I have seen some men say that oral/anal penetration on a woman isn’t that bad because women are ‘made to be penetrated/used to it’, and I’ve also heard that women’s anuses are ‘made to handle it’. Probably no point arguing with them but it’s still disturbing
/r/PurplePillDebate09/06/26 02:02 PM

I think it really depends on the person. With my husband, I’ve never felt like I’ve really loss any freedom. At worst, I’ve just had to start letting him know when I’m doing something so that he’s in the loop, but it’s never been limiting to either quickly text or tell him. Imo with the right partner, it’s not a loss at all. I *want* to spend my time with my partner as they help me ‘recharge’ and relax I’ve only experienced a loss a freedom when we had kids

I agree with all you wrote here. The issue on your last point is that these men just argue ‘but men aren’t made to be penetrated so it’s different’. I wonder if they just enjoy harming women tbh.

Would you still be ok with duty sex if it resulted in constant pain and you get injured? I’m also wondering, would it not bother you that your partner is using your body and doesn’t care about how you’re feeling or that you’re getting hurt? I’m genuinely curious. I think if you’re a person that views sex as ‘just sex’ and something physical, that makes sense And I agree.

I mean, obviously there are going to be outliers. In general religious people believe women should submit to their husbands. I grew up in a religious area and this view was EXTREMELY common. If you don’t follow that, then you aren’t who I’m talking about. But it’s not uncommon for conservative and religious women to promote shit like ‘duty sex’.

This works in theory, but the problem is that a lot of ‘kinks’ men are into involve women being either hurt or very uncomfortable (not just mild).

Like sure, make the draft mandatory for women too. That still doesn’t address the issue. No one should be forced to go to war, man or woman And if we really wanna just do this for whatever reason—who can actually enlist? Are pregnant women going to be…

True, but because your post didn’t specify, would non sexual affection be allowed in B? Because you only specify it as ‘no sex’
/r/PurplePillDebate18/05/26 09:53 PM

Do you have specific examples? I frequent quite a few women’s subs and I’ve occasionally seen ‘men are trash’ or ‘i hate men’, but that’s it and I think we can all agree that’s unhelpful and hateful
/r/PurplePillDebate18/05/26 09:51 PM

If that’s how you want to take it 🤷‍♀️ Personally, I believe all people should be treated with caution since we can’t tell the bad ones immediately. Better safe than sorry and I would never blame another person for being cautious of me
/r/PurplePillDebate18/05/26 09:50 PM

Does B have the option for romantic feelings and non sexual affection? Either way, I choose B. But I’m curious because the post is only talking about sexual and platonic feelings, not romantic. Can you hug them? Cuddle? Be affectionate? Cuddling and kissing isn’t sexual

It makes it different. They both did something deplorable and unforgivable. But if the first guy feels genuine remorse and works to make sure he doesn’t hurt someone again, that’s better than the latter. And just in case it’s not obvious, I’m not saying that the first guy is forgivable or that it’s ok or that he’s a good person. But he is different from the latter
/r/PurplePillDebate18/05/26 09:01 PM

Fair enough. Most people would be able to see the difference
/r/PurplePillDebate18/05/26 08:52 PM

Ok, then let’s stick with the one time. One party deeply regrets it and takes measures so it won’t happen again. The other actively enjoyed doing it and feels no regret. Do you view them as the same?
/r/PurplePillDebate18/05/26 08:49 PM
1

It explains the why. And honestly, someone who has anger issues can get that under control so they won’t do it again. The person who actively does this for fun will likely keep doing it. I’d bet you anything that most people would see the latter as a worse person. For example, say someone once hit a dog in a fit of anger but has never done it again and feels guilt (as they should) and another regularly hits dogs for fun and feels joy. Do you view these people the same way?
/r/PurplePillDebate18/05/26 08:46 PM
1

Again, can you please point to where I said we should defend either of them? It’s quite interesting that me saying there’s a difference means that I’m defending one of them. So in case I have to make it clear—both are deplorable. And both should face the same punishment. But the reasons for it are different
/r/PurplePillDebate18/05/26 08:40 PM
1

Where did I say the person wouldn’t be an animal abuser? Obviously they would. However the reason why they did it is different. One did it because it makes them happy to hurt something. Another did it due to not controlling their emotions. Both are abusers, but the reasons are very different. I’m really curious why this is something you’re having a hard time understanding
/r/PurplePillDebate18/05/26 08:35 PM

Again, to you it doesn’t matter. Why do you feel as though you have the authority to speak for everyone? I’m curious
/r/PurplePillDebate18/05/26 08:32 PM

They are inherently different tho. If the distinction doesn’t matter to you, then cool. But there is a difference which you’ve written out. One kicked a puppy because that makes them happy and how they have fun. The other kicked one due to an emotional outburst. Are either good? Nope. But they are actions with different motives and reasons behind them. You not caring about nuance doesn’t mean it doesn’t matter
/r/PurplePillDebate18/05/26 08:27 PM
1

The why behind things is always important. Would you say that someone who kicked a puppy by accident vs someone who kicks a puppy for fun and wants to hurt it are the exact same and will be viewed the same way?
/r/PurplePillDebate18/05/26 08:22 PM
1

But my point is that men that believe those things or follow Tate are a minority that social media presents like some large scale problem. If you go out in the real world, most healthy people don’t think like that. It’s like the whole gender war thing. Social media presents it like no one is able to date except for like models and influencers. But go outside and you can very clearly see that’s not reality. People are outside, on dates. You see young couples out
/r/PurplePillDebate18/05/26 08:21 PM

That doesn’t justify manipulating someone and lying to them
/r/PurplePillDebate18/05/26 08:09 PM

Women that only value men for those things are a part of the problem. There are genuinely good men and women that aren’t so artificial and who actually care about people. It’s never ‘justified’ to reduce someone to an object So again, if you want a transactional relationship and sex, why not pursue a relationship with a woman that also wants that?
/r/PurplePillDebate18/05/26 06:37 PM
2

Same here. Personally, sexual attraction and desire doesn’t happen until I get close to someone, find them physically attractive, AND feel safe with them. It can’t just be one of these things. Otherwise, without physical attraction they are just friends and without the connection and safety, they are just something that’s nice to look at (similar to a sunset)
/r/PurplePillDebate18/05/26 06:27 PM

I think men like that genuinely do see women as a sort of ‘sex vending machine’. It’s fucking disgusting
/r/PurplePillDebate18/05/26 05:59 PM
6

I’m kind of confused about your wizard scenario. Are you saying most men would want some other woman and not their wife? If so, that attraction seems much less valuable imo and surface level Would you want your partner to love how you look (in that moment and which can change due to aging or just life) but they don’t care much about you beyond that? Personally, not for me and I imagine most others would agree. I do think you should be physically attracted to your partner, but genuine attraction …

Yes. I thought he was cute when we first met and as I got to know him, the attraction has grown immensely. Personally, physical attraction is just a part of my attraction to someone. Attraction goes so much deeper than physical appearance But what a lot of people don’t understand is that what I find attractive isn’t what every other woman finds attractive. Like my friends think my husband is just an average dude. I personally think my friend’s partners are pretty unattractive 🤷‍♀️ Some of my fri…

/r/PurplePillDebate18/05/26 05:42 PM

When I was dating, a big issue was sex. I need a strong emotional connection in order to feel safe enough to desire sex. Most men I dated either only wanted casual sex (so not actually date me or saw me as a human being) or got really pushy for sex even tho we’ve only known each other for barely a month. The number of men that actually respected that and wanted to spend time together besides just sex, I can count on one hand. It’s a big reason why I’ve only been with two men. And no, I’m not ase…
/r/PurplePillDebate18/05/26 05:41 PM

If you see sex this way, you need to just pursue transactional relationships. Decent men don’t enjoy sex acts that their partner isn’t enjoying. Pulling out a chair is nowhere near the same effort as a blowjob. Eating a woman out is the equivalent
/r/PurplePillDebate18/05/26 05:37 PM
13

Genuinely curious, but what are we considering ‘hate’ here? Are we talking about people just making generalizations? Or people actively being like ‘kill all men’ or ‘I hate men’? Would you consider women who are more cautious around men as ‘hating men’?
/r/PurplePillDebate18/05/26 05:28 PM
7

The women who hate all men for what bad men do are no better. So that’s not really a good example as both are lacking nuance But I do wonder what you mean when you say women hate all men? If you mean genuine hatred, I agree. If you get upset that women practice more caution when out, that’s not hating men
/r/PurplePillDebate18/05/26 05:26 PM
4

Justified? Not sure. But honestly, if men hate women, they should just do what women are doing with 4B. Just create communities of men only and leave women alone. That should make them happy, right? Now if they’re hateful and still want to date or be with women, that’s a massive issue
/r/PurplePillDebate18/05/26 05:23 PM

Because social media isn’t real life. There are numerous studies showing that always being behind a screen is detrimental and they are free for you to search and read.

/r/PurplePillDebate18/05/26 03:59 PM

This too. I think that there’s a big disconnect between how people are in person vs online. If you go out in real life, you don’t really see the whole gender war thing. You see people dating and couples all the time. Meanwhile social media would have you believe that no average or below average person can date. It’s a massive disconnect

I do and I believe men can be raped and sexually assaulted by women. But what are you meaning by ‘bad’ here? Because there’s a big difference between bad meaning boring or not orgasming and bad meaning you weren’t respected or are physically in pain from. From my male friend’s experiences, what they consider to be ‘bad sex’ is pretty different from my female friends, and I mean that most of them haven’t experienced a physical injury or pain from sex. Granted this is only based on my own social c…

What do you consider rape to be? If you’re just thinking it’s someone jumping out from an alley and grabbing a woman, then yeah. That’s unrealistic. But what about having sex with a woman that’s passed out from drinking? Or a date ignoring when you say no? Or getting really pushy and not respecting the no? Or consenting to sex but telling them to stop and they don’t? These are way more common than you’d think
/r/PurplePillDebate18/05/26 03:12 PM

If a woman has experienced sexual assault before, of course she’s going to be impacted by it and worry about it more. It’s happened to me and several of my close friends. It’s not some extreme rarity. Just as car crashes aren’t an extreme rarity

Maybe, but for at least half of them I’ve literally had to go be support when something bad happened, so I know it’s not just made up stories. First time sex rarely goes amazingly, but that’s also mot really what women here (and my own friend group) mean. Being awkward or figuring each other out is very different than having a guy try and put it in without any kind of foreplay (this isn’t uncommon unfortunately) and then being annoyed at being asked, or having rougher things sprung on you withou…

But all of my friends have and most of them have done it frequently. *All* of them have experienced men like this in some form (and no, they weren’t ‘chads’ like some men here would think).

This. Also when men have made it clear that they’re more than willing to fuck women they’re not attracted to just to get their nut off, that shows that they don’t respect those women. I’d argue that most women would not have sex with men if those men were honest about not being attracted to them. That doesn’t even count as ‘dating’ imo.

Why is this always the default response? You guys really support war this much? Drafts shouldn’t be a thing, not even for men. It’s immoral. But if you want to go there, how about men doing 50/50 of pregnancy and childbirth? Or are you going so say ‘but biology’ and turn your head the other way? It’s always interesting that ‘equality’ to these men always seems to conveniently leave out pregnancy and childbirth.
/r/PurplePillDebate18/05/26 01:36 PM

When you’ve heard these kinds of responses, have they mostly been from women you know in real life or social media? Because if it’s the latter, you have to take into account that many people literally will make provocative content to get engagement, and that’s not including people who are ranting (not being rational) because they are angry in the moment. There’s A LOT of nuance here

If the male only spaces are genuinely about creating spaces for men to be safe or if men are genuinely fearful, there’s no issue and I imagine most women would have no problem with that. If it’s just wanting male only spaces to be able to openly talk about things (locker room talk about women), then yes that’s a problem. And yes, there’s a difference. The gendered spaces are supposed to be about legitimate safety

Yeah, this is something I agree with. You shouldn’t have to ID yourself in that situation if you’re not doing anything wrong, that’s fucked.

I’m really curious how often feminism comes up in your daily/weekly conversations (in ‘real life’, not social media)? Because in my circles, with women who do call themselves feminists, it very rarely comes up. Much less misandry. But then again, they aren’t radical, so maybe that’s the difference?

Life isn’t black and white fam. There’s nuance. For things to be equal and fair (which is incredibly important), biological differences HAVE to be addressed.

Because of this, reproduction rights can never actually be 1-1 equivalent. You’re only trying to argue ‘equality’ in this case because you conveniently won’t be the one to deal with the phy…

Tbh people like different things. That doesn’t make one or the other objectively ‘boring’. I like clubbing and partying too, but staying in and having a 12 hour LOTR marathon is fun as hell too
/r/PurplePillDebate17/05/26 06:50 PM

Ig, but I was seeing it more as a difference in how they’d like to spend time together. If your partner frequently wants to go out and you want to stay in and watch movies together, that’s going to require a lot of compromise where neither party will be fully happy. I think it’s just a matter of compatibility
/r/PurplePillDebate17/05/26 06:49 PM

I mean, tbh I wouldn’t think I’d be compatible with man that *didn’t* enjoy going out to club/party sometimes. It doesn’t mean he’s a bad or lesser person. We just wouldn’t be a good match and I imagine that it’s the same the other way around.

Exactly this. I’ve never understood men who push to not wear a condom if they don’t want kids. Sure, it’s not 100% effective, but it does have a high effectiveness rate. If you don’t want kids, there is ZERO reason to not wear a condom. If a woman pressures you, you decline sex. But honestly, contraception is a two way street. BOTH parties have to do their part. Just because a woman is on bc, that’s not a good reason to avoid condoms and avoid doing your part

This is true, but part of being in a long term relationship is commitment through the difficult times, is it not? Say you have a child and your wife has a difficult recovery postpartum and can’t have sex for almost a year due to healing. If you leave or cheat, you’re objectively being a bad partner since there’s no real commitment there. Unless, you’re not referring to a committed monogamous relationship?
/r/PurplePillDebate14/05/26 03:59 PM
6

Fair enough. But what do you mean by ‘genuinely desires’? Women typically take more time to warm up to sex due to how our bodies work. That doesn’t mean they don’t genuinely desire their husbands (unless you’re just saying that you’re looking for a woman who views desire the same way you do)
/r/PurplePillDebate14/05/26 03:55 PM
6

How edgy. But genuinely why would you purposefully pursue monogamous women just to cheat and traumatize them? Libido will ebb and flow in a long term relationship and that’s normal. If you can’t handle that, you aren’t built for monogamous relationships. It’s ok to recognize that
/r/PurplePillDebate14/05/26 03:51 PM

You realize libido can change over your life and has little to do with attraction, right? For many people, sex is the last thing on their mind when stressed or exhausted. That doesn’t mean they aren’t attracted to their partner or that they lied about their libido

Would it be alright if you were doing ‘the work’ during sex? If so, I think a lot of women would be fine with it when they’re tired (as long as their body relaxes enough so they don’t get hurt)

I mean, would you enjoy sex if your spouse was exhausted and just laid there? Sometimes the exhaustion really is that bad, especially during the baby phase. There have been a lot of times where I wanted to be intimate with my husband, but I have zero energy so he will have to do ‘the work’ (luckily he doesn’t mind and I do the ‘work’ when he’s tired). As long as you don’t consider that as ‘bad sex’, then sure. But so many men seem to have an issue with that

I mean, I agree with you to a degree. But there are also low libido men out there. I’ve been with one. The key is finding a partner that has a compatible libido. I think there are a lot more men that have a lower libido than we think. At least in the case of my ex, it was something he was actively ashamed about. I have several close friends that have higher libidos than their husbands and struggle with their sex life. This situation is just very nuanced

Most people don’t want to be reminded of an ex when with someone new. I don’t think this would fall under #2 if she genuinely wouldn’t have a good time. The concert one is strange tho and I agree

You think that most people in the world believe that their parents (and other older couples) magically don’t get intimate with each other after having kids? Why do you assume everyone thinks the same way as you do? I’m genuinely curious

Fair enough. Would you say the same for when women are postpartum? That healing can take months and that’s considered normal. The 8 weeks thing is the bare minimum. If your wife wasn’t feeling back to normal, would you push for sex?

Where did I say it was a common occurrence? Personally, for us it’s rare to get to that point. It’s happened to me when I had a bad complication postpartum. My husband went through a short period of heavy stress when he was unexpectedly laid off. In those situations sex does NOT help. During the time my husband got laid off, he literally only wanted to cuddle and wanted affection to help his anxiety so he wouldn’t spiral. Me pushing for sex would have just put pressure on him that would’ve made …

I’ve already addressed this. Neither my husband nor I are naturally loud during sex. We also always have the tv or music going anyways (we did this before kids so not much changed). I mean, kids will grow up at a certain point. When you were a teenager did you really think your parents weren’t intimate with each other? At some point when they’re older, you do realize you have to teach them about sex, right? A young child, won’t realize what’s going on. You really think a 5 year old will try open…

That’s a you thing fam 🤷‍♀️ As a kid, I never minded. Might have kids go ‘ewww’ but most won’t really care as they get older True, but you aren’t constantly chained to them like you’re trying to portray. When they’re young they need constant attention. As they get older, you will have much more free time. Again, if all you care about in life is being able to fuck like a banshee wherever and whenever you want, then go for it. But that doesn’t mean everyone wants that or enjoys that. And it doesn’…

If that’s how you want to view this, then sure. But this is just coming off like you’re purposefully being obtuse. For example, we don’t have family living with us anymore, but they are nearby (within 5 mins). So in the mornings, we typically have sex whenever we want because the kids are asleep, and we keep the doors locked. Yeah, sometimes the kids will knock if they need something, but it’s pretty rare. Then again at night we’ll usually have sex again. This isn’t some ‘scheduled’ thing for us…

This doesn’t apply to everyone fam. I’m someone with a high libido and prefer to have sex 3-5 times a day. My husband is very similar. However, when heavy stress comes up, I get panic attacks. Sex can NOT help with that. When my husband get put under heavy pressure, he tends to get really into his head to the point where his anxiety takes over. So no, having sex for all situations does not help. What helps in these situations is just affection. And then once we’re calm, sex is much more likely t…

You do realize that family can take kids out, right? You also realize that couples can take vacations away, right…? And I guess this just depends on the couple. My husband and I aren’t people that naturally scream during sex, but if you are then yeah, I can see how that might be an issue. But for us, sex has never been on a schedule and we don’t really have to stress about keeping quiet. Only thing we really changed is where we have sex, but that’s not a massive sacrifice

Genuinely, how would you even be able to enjoy sex if your partner was gritting their teeth or crying, waiting for it to be over? Hopefully you’d only want sex that both of you enjoy. Otherwise, how is it any different from treating your partner as a toy for you to get off with? Having sex when they aren’t into it is not about connection or intimacy
/r/PurplePillDebate14/05/26 02:06 PM

You’re right. Male and female bodies are different. Which means you also need to accept that women having sex when they don’t want to can literally hurt and injure them since they are the ones being penetrated. If you aren’t worried about this, you aren’t a decent partner
/r/PurplePillDebate14/05/26 02:03 PM
2

For some people. For others they won’t even be able to relax enough to be penetrated without pain. You’re trying to act like every human is the exact same as you which is a bit strange. You’re also refusing to acknowledge that people have different libidos. Some naturally prefer sex 4 times a day. Others prefer it twice a month. Both are normal and there’s nothing wrong with either
/r/PurplePillDebate14/05/26 02:00 PM
2

Not really. For a lot of people, you can’t enjoy sex if you’re stressed or exhausted. And decent men wouldn’t want to have sex with a partner that’s not enjoying it, right? Also, this isn’t a gendered issue. My husband gets in his head a lot and can’t enjoy sex if he’s very stressed/afraid/exhausted too. It’s completely normal

Eh, this really depends on the couple and honestly the culture. If you believe in moving away from family and only relying on yourself and your partner to take care of your kid and you both work? Yeah, not a great time. But if you have extended family that lives with you or helps put often, it’s not that hard to keep the romance alive. Both my husband and I have families where this is the norm culturally and we made sure to have time set aside for us to reconnect. You both just have to make an e…

Interesting! So the things they did with their exes they explicitly said they were into it and enjoyed the acts? I’m just trying to understand how this works. For example, would they be like ‘yeah I really love to get eaten out!’ And you’d ask to do it, and they’d just say ‘no’? Not that they previously did them but didn’t enjoy it/find it pleasurable? Cause if it’s this, they would fall under #1

Do you think it’s bad to prioritize different things throughout your life?
/r/PurplePillDebate14/05/26 12:10 AM

But if it was something that your partner was extremely uncomfortable with or something that put them in pain, how would you derive sexual pleasure from that? Sex is a mutually enjoyable activity, is it not? A decent person wouldn’t get pleasure from a their partner gritting their teeth and bearing it. If it was something mildly uncomfortable, you’d have a point. But a lot of sex acts for women go beyond that.
/r/PurplePillDebate13/05/26 11:49 PM

Then you shouldn’t seek to be in a relationship with a woman. That’s a really easy cop out so you can continue to act as though your view is the universal truth. There are many women out there that absolutely despise ‘kinky’ sex and you have women who want to dominate men, but I have a good feeling that you don’t consider that as ‘kinky’, right? Because you want women to engage in acts that hurt them/make them uncomfortable Like genuinely, I’m curious—if a woman you were seeing didn’t want to do…

How do you know if a woman genuinely enjoyed it tho? Are you basing it off her word? So if a woman told you she never enjoyed a specific sex act but did it because she was pressured, would you believe her and not pressure her?

I don’t think this means it’s purely transactional. Sex is a natural thing to want when you’re in love with your partner. Like let’s say my husband got into an accident and lost his libido/couldn’t have sex for whatever reason but still wanted to. I would stay and it wouldn’t bother me. Now let’s say one day he just came up and said, we aren’t having sex anymore. That would be jarring and raise a lot of questions that are pretty relevant to a healthy relationship. I wouldn’t leave immediately, b…
/r/PurplePillDebate13/05/26 10:25 PM

Genuinely, if a partner was averse to it and would be forcing themselves, would you even still be able to enjoy the sex act? It would be completely one sided at that point and essentially just using your partner like a toy. Not talking about if it’s something they’re neutral about
/r/PurplePillDebate13/05/26 10:15 PM

Would you say the same if she always disliked oral? Personally, I don’t see how you’d even be able to enjoy a sex act knowing your partner is actively uncomfortable (not talking about something they’re neutral about)

If you genuinely enjoyed a sex act and found it pleasurable, why wouldn’t you want to keep doing it? Because if someone is only doing sex acts because they’re afraid to lose someone, they aren’t genuinely enjoying it
/r/PurplePillDebate13/05/26 10:09 PM

You also have to take into consideration that most ‘kinky’ sex acts men want are things that either hurt or are uncomfortable for women. Can you name popular sex acts men typically want that don’t involve the woman being on the ‘receiving’ end of uncomfortable things? Things like anal (painful for many women and can cause permanent injury), deepthroating, being bent into uncomfortable positions, being hit/tied up, etc? It’s just interesting that ‘kinky’ seems to almost always refer to the woman …

This is where I’m at. I see the #2 one thrown out by men here but have NEVER heard of this. And I’m in a circle of women that had or are still into the whole kink scene. The ones who aren’t anymore left because they weren’t actually into it or were initially doing it as a form of selfharm (several have admitted this unfortunately). The ones who actually enjoy it are still very much into it

This is a very pessimistic take. Like, are you saying all women only want the ‘top men’? Then what about the women who are married to an average guy and adore him? Or are you only talking about ‘top women’? Most people end up and are attracted to people that are similar levels of attractiveness

Fair enough. But say someone is physically frail. Would it be a problem for them to be cautious around strangers physically stronger than they are?

Very true. I’m not talking about people who go and start bad mouthing a group of people. But unfortunately, MOST women are much physically weaker than MOST men and will never be able to fight them off even with a weapon. I’m pretty sure that merely biologically men are more than twice as strong as women. So women will pretty much always have to be cautious around men.

The thing is, we can’t reduce the impact of bad men. We have to work to reduce bad men from hurting people. Once that hurt and damage has already happened, you can’t really do anything about it.

Would you say it’s bad if someone (man or woman) is physically pretty weak and so they stay more cautious around stranger that can easily physically overpower them? How would you suggest they defend themselves if they are ever attacked?

Why would you want a partner to risk their wellbeing when it’s widely known how common birth control side effects are? Would you expect your partner to go on birth control just so you don’t have to wear a condom? Or would you do your part just as she does hers? There is absolutely no good reason to put all the responsibility on the woman. Especially if it’s your partner Men can also refrain as well, right?

That’s surprising. Most of the men on here are upset that they can’t have casual sex, and I’m sure you’ve seen those comments.

Not an ‘own’ but to see if the men here truly believe in personal responsibility. Even if a woman is on birth control, the man should do his part and wear a condom. There is zero reason to not wear one, right? So if you believe in personal responsibility, surely you also shame men that push or ask to not wear a condom, right?

It’s actually very relevant to this conversation, but ok. Since we’re talking about personal responsibility—do you also believe that men that don’t want children should always wear a condom (or decline sex if the woman refuses)?

It’s actually true in my case. I’ve been physically attacked before for being honest (and I wasn’t even saying he was ugly. I told him that I wasn’t attracted to him/he wasn’t my type). This doesn’t even account for the times I’ve been followed and screamed at. If you could guarantee that this would never happen, I would have no issue being honest

How do you define a ‘good man’? Because a man who thinks sex is something given to him isn’t it
/r/PurplePillDebate07/05/26 02:55 PM

/r/PurplePillDebate07/05/26 02:52 PM

Sex involves using their bodies does it not? But point is, if you see sex as something you should ‘get’ for being nice, you are not actually a good person. So no, women don’t owe you sex by your own logic. A good person wouldn’t want someone to have sex when they don’t want to, correct?
/r/PurplePillDebate07/05/26 02:49 PM

So just to be clear, you see women’s bodies as a ‘thing’ to be given to men? And by gatekeepers, you’re saying men can’t say no to sex? How is that not rape?
/r/PurplePillDebate07/05/26 02:46 PM
8

Because sex isn’t something women give and men ‘get’. It really shows how you actually view sex as something given to men and not something intimate and about connection between two people. Expecting to have women ‘give’ you sex shows you are not a good person
/r/PurplePillDebate07/05/26 02:40 PM

There’s a massive difference between something being enjoyable for two people and being rewarding and actively seeing sex as a reward you get for being ‘good’. So again, sex is not a reward or something given. It’s very toxic and unhealthy to view it that way
/r/PurplePillDebate07/05/26 02:14 PM

It’s both. Would you want to be with a woman that you have 0 attraction for? Probably not, right? And decent people, like actually good people, will want to be better because they want to help people. Not because they might get something in return. If you’re only doing ‘better’ to get something from people, you aren’t actually a good person. So if that’s your argument, it’s moot because they’re not actually being ‘better’ or good. You should be against abusing your partner because it’s wrong and…

When you say women don’t care about men’s issues, what exactly do you mean? Would empathizing and recognizing that men are struggling be enough on its own? If so, I think many women already do.

Did she agree under specific pretenses? For example, if someone had HIV and lies about it and transmits it to their partner, you don’t believe there’s an issue? By lying, they are not allowing the person to actually make an informed decision. Their choice is literally being manipulated
/r/PurplePillDebate28/04/26 06:16 PM

For real. Like if a man doesn’t want kids, why would you not always wear a condom? Women aren’t trustworthy, right? So wear a condom since she might be lying about bc. Don’t act like you have 0 agency. Men have no business trying to have sex without a condom
/r/PurplePillDebate28/04/26 06:13 PM

The thing that baffles me is that are these men always wearing a condom to protect themselves? They should be if they are genuinely worried about this.

Why lie and manipulate someone tho? If you truly believed that both sexes get equal benefit from sex, you wouldn’t have so many men admit that they will pretend to be interested and manipulate women (tell them what they want to hear) to have sex with them. Do you believe that lying and manipulating someone is wrong? Yes or no?

If a woman says that she will not have sex outside of a committed relationship, it’s wrong for a man to agree unless he genuinely sees it the same way. If someone genuinely happens to be a dealbreaker during sex for some weird reason, you should at least talk to that person. The ‘used’ part comes when a man literally pretends and lies. If you aren’t interested in a relationship with this woman, just be honest and don’t pretend that you do. I am not talking about GENUINE instances where someone m…

Men also have much less risk from casual sex. They will never have to deal with getting pregnant or give birth. Men who push to not wear condoms are even worse, as they don’t care about putting the whole burden of contraception on women.

Oh, I agree. The way that men are treated as threats/or just weird if they aren’t able (or frankly just don’t want to) date is bad. We should be working to normalize being single.

Most of my friends date men similar levels of attractiveness to them, men that definitely are not 6’ or fit, and men that make around the median income (or less). Would you not consider these men average? I only have one friend that only dates fit men and that’s because she’s literally a fitness freak (like actual bodybuilding)

Why not exclusively pursue poly relationships then?

So to just shrug and be like, welp historically people suffered more so suck it up, is plain stupid imo. Just curious, but if you genuinely believe that women owe or have a duty to society to have ch…

Sure it’s a choice. If men had the option to go thru pregnancy and birth, do you believe that most would? I’m not sure why you’re so afraid of answering this. Or if you don’t want to speak on behalf of all men, would you be willing to do it if we found a way for men to?
/r/PurplePillDebate16/04/26 08:03 PM

Then why did your comment say that women vote for this? Men vote for this too, do they not?

Only women vote for these things? Do you have a source on this?

It’s not really a choice tho due to biology. Men physically can’t give birth. Like genuinely, do you believe that if we ever could make men give birth, that most men would willingly choose to do so? I might be wrong, but imo even if that’d give men a ‘choice’, most would still not choose to do so We shouldn’t be forcing anyone, man or woman, into the military anyways. But if we do have to, then yea, I’d agree with you that both should sign up as long as they don’t have or are planning for childr…

So let’s get this straight, in a world where say most women enlist as mercenaries so they do the same that men do….how would that be equal if women are still the only ones that have to go through the birthing process? This would mean that merely being born a woman means you will have a harder life
/r/PurplePillDebate16/04/26 06:41 PM

So why are you criticizing Americans who physically cannot enlist? If a man or woman has a disability here, they will be turned away. How is that their fault?

🤦‍♀️ Another one that immediately jumps to insults and can’t actually engage. Kinda amusing at least tho
/r/PurplePillDebate16/04/26 05:57 PM

But the thing is tho that both genders suffer different things. Just like how it’s mostly men that get dragged into war and endure terrors, it’s mostly women that get dragged into trafficking and sexual abuse by men. Just like how men typically have to do harder labor jobs because they are biologically stronger, women have to go through the traumas of pregnancy and having your body torn apart by birth because of biology. How can things truly be equal? Imo it can’t. But that’s also why if people …
/r/PurplePillDebate16/04/26 05:33 PM

Fam, biology is my whole point. Men can never fully understand what it’s like to go through pregnancy and childbirth, right? But in your earlier comment you tried to literally say that men do. You wrote it. Also, since it’s due to biology, what can men do that makes things even since women have to give birth? If you want actual equality, pregnancy and birth must be equal too. Are you saying that not a single woman has ever fought in a war? And LOL. Are you not from the US? There absolutely are l…
/r/PurplePillDebate16/04/26 05:26 PM

Fair enough. But my point is more like, if we keep framing this as a negative, that works to shame women for their choice. Which means that many women will become resentful and terrible mothers to unwanted children. Surely that isn’t what most people envision as a good thing, right?
/r/PurplePillDebate16/04/26 05:23 PM

It’s better than it was but it’s still not good. And I’m not even talking about single mothers. I have two children with my husband. We make around the median household income and are struggling. Childcare is fucking expensive. We’re very lucky that we both come from cultures where living with extended family and having their help is the norm. I didn’t work for most of my pregnancy and for 8 months postpartum due to healing. If I had to work while constantly sick and exhausted, I would never hav…

Do you know what it means? You’re the one who tried saying that men suffer too when women get pregnant. I’m asking what they suffer from that’s comparable to what the woman goes through. Again, why won’t you answer my question? If you could would you be willing to take on pregnancy and childbirth? Yes or no? Fam, I have two kids under 5. You’re really advocating for parents to abandon their kids? My husband wouldn’t even be down for that. You also aren’t counting for the fact that certain medica…

So men risk tearing and bleeding? Your pelvic floor gets permanently fucked up from watching your wife give birth? What permanent or longterm physical damage do men suffer from pregnancy or childbirth? I’m genuinely asking So you know how shitty pregnancy and birth are, which is why you wouldn’t theoretically do a tradeoff for it. You want women to do what you do on top of having to give birth.

/r/PurplePillDebate16/04/26 03:39 PM

If people truly cared about this, then why not do things that would actively help women have children? Such as increasing wages or giving more time off for pregnancy and postpartum for the body to heal? Or more affordable options for childcare? There are solutions, but so many men don’t want these because they want women to have children and suffer So few will even acknowledge how hard and traumatic childbirth and pregnancy are. Not to mention the permanent damage to the body afterwards
/r/PurplePillDebate16/04/26 03:31 PM

And men don’t have to deal with pregnancy and childbirth. They never have to risk permanent damage to have a child. Nature’s unfair 🤷‍♀️ If men could get pregnant instead, then I’d gladly swap places to fight and ‘pay taxes’. Would you be willing to make that tradeoff?
/r/PurplePillDebate16/04/26 03:29 PM

Would you say that women should have kids even if they don’t want to? We need to stop pretending that pregnancy and childbirth are easy for women just because our bodies can do it. Many many times it results in permanent damage that we have to suffer with for the rest of our lives. On top of that, so many men seem to be against giving pregnant women time off work to reduce stress, as well as refuse to give time off to let their bodies heal postpartum. If we actually researched this more and foun…
/r/PurplePillDebate16/04/26 03:27 PM

Why aren’t you including the painful and damaging parts like pregnancy, birth, postpartum, etc? Many women will have permanently damaged pelvic floors and suffer for the rest of their lives. Or does this just not matter since it’s just women who experience this?
/r/PurplePillDebate16/04/26 03:22 PM

Instead of blaming women for this, why is there no discussion on how to make having children easier? Many more women would be willing to have children if finances or time off work weren’t a concern. But for some reason people are refusing to address this. There are solutions that don’t involve making mothers miserable, which in turn will negatively affect their children

Honestly, it’s just like ‘okay’? Dating is a massive risk, not denying that. If someone just says this and that’s why they don’t wanna date, then cool, good on them. No one should feel forced to date
/r/PurplePillDebate15/04/26 07:05 PM

They can make a choice tho. No one dies by not having sex. That’s my point. Like genuinely, if your spouse got into an accident and couldn’t be intimate anymore, you’d abandon or betray them? Granted, if we’re going by OP’s question, not getting into such a relationship is understandable
/r/PurplePillDebate15/04/26 07:02 PM
3

Not necessarily, sex is very important to me. It’s just a difference of priorities imo. Like if my husband ever couldn’t have sex again, I’d be frustrated, sure. But would never leave or cheat It’s more ‘wouldn’t’ not ‘couldn’t’. Many people, even with high sex drives, go without and don’t die or suffer mentally.
/r/PurplePillDebate15/04/26 05:20 PM

Honestly, even as a woman with a very high sex drive, I’d still say ‘yes’.

Then they should be upfront about that and find compatible partners
/r/PurplePillDebate14/04/26 01:25 PM

But they can imagine their partner doing so. Imagining someone else means that they likely wish to have sex with others, so why not pursue poly relationships? If you can’t be satisfied with one partner, you shouldn’t pursue monogamy. There’s nothing wrong with non-monogamous relationships
/r/PurplePillDebate14/04/26 01:25 PM

Oh I don’t doubt most of them have. But there’s a massive difference between a thought flashing by and someone being completely disconnected and pretending you’re someone else. The latter is what I have an issue with and what’s very obvious in the moment
/r/PurplePillDebate14/04/26 01:23 PM
2

Not really about policing as it is about just finding a compatible partner. Someone who prefers to imagine another person while having sex with their partner wouldn’t be compatible with me is all I’m saying. It’s essentially just using their body to masturbate if they’re pretending/imagining being with someone else
/r/PurplePillDebate14/04/26 12:09 AM

Fair enough, I just don’t get why you’d wanna daydream about other people if you’re really into your partner but guess everyone’s different. Couldn’t imagine ever getting bored or tired of my partner

How often would this happen tho? If he has a short refractory period and would still be down for sex after, then no problem unless he’s thinking of other women. But if he can only really go once a day or something (and decides to masturbate instead of have sex), then that’d be a problem
/r/PurplePillDebate13/04/26 06:59 PM

Pretty sure most women won’t care if their partner masturbates when they aren’t in the mood or available. It does however become a problem if they ever choose to masturbate and watch porn over having sex with their partners
/r/PurplePillDebate13/04/26 06:57 PM

Yeah I agree with this. Personally, I only think and fantasize about my partner and I don’t see why it’s wrong to want the same in turn. Why do they have to think about or watch other women?
/r/PurplePillDebate13/04/26 06:54 PM
1

This makes sense when the partner isn’t available or wanting to have sex. But there’s often a lot of men who will literally neglect their partners and prefer porn and masturbating over having sex. That’s where I think a big issue with porn comes from, and personally where the line is for me. If I’m not available or in the mood, then whatever go for it. But I’ve also very rarely turned down a partner or can’t get in the mood so there shouldn’t be a need for porn or thinking of other women
/r/PurplePillDebate13/04/26 06:52 PM

Yeah, this is how I feel about it too. Like saying he can never masturbate is crazy. But like…you don’t have to think about other people while masturbating 🤷‍♀️ But if a partner does watch porn, I only really care if they were to ever choose porn/masturbating over sex. Then it becomes an issues if it’s a recurring thing

Except that this is pretty well studied by psychologists. People who grew up in an abusive environment are more likely to end up in those situations as adults. Because it’s what’s ‘normal’ to them. If you’ve never been in a ‘safe’ environment before, it can genuinely cause you to panic because you don’t understand what’s happening. Abuse has massive impacts on a person’s brain and behavior. So what’s normal and obvious to someone that hasn’t grown up in that environment isn’t the same as someone…

Some people are very good at lying and manipulating. I’ve also had this happen with a former friend that I genuinely thought was a great person (most people did). It’s not rare.

A lot of this stuff isn’t apparent on the first date tho. For example, I have an ex that appeared like an incredibly kind person, wasn’t ever disrespectful, was never pushy, and was consistent but not overbearing. He started changing (or rather showing his real self) about 8 months in. My friends that met him had a hard time believing me at the time So yeah.

Genuinely what does it achieve? They aren’t the criminal. To focus on the person who got hurt instead of focusing on stopping the perpetrator from hurting more people is just….bizarre.

/r/PurplePillDebate10/04/26 05:57 PM

It’s not an excuse, but it’s an explaination of that behavior. There’s a difference. Childhood trauma can have massive effects on the brain and what a person perceives as ‘normal’. A lot of times people who grew up in abusive environments literally have to learn that it’s not normal. Talk to a psychologist is you really can’t believe that
/r/PurplePillDebate10/04/26 05:55 PM

It really depends. For example, I also care about my partner’s past. Would you also be honest about your past and who you’ve been with? If not, then no problem as it’s just about filtering for compatibility
/r/PurplePillDebate09/04/26 11:32 PM

I mean, it’s the same for women. Even less attractive men aren’t tripping over themselves to date obese or ugly women no matter how good their personality is
/r/PurplePillDebate09/04/26 01:47 PM

Just because it’s an expectation, that doesn’t mean they have no agency and have to do it, right? If you don’t want marriage, you need to only pursue women who are on the same page. If a woman wants marriage and you don’t, you are fundamentally incompatible
/r/PurplePillDebate09/04/26 01:45 PM

Physical affection isn’t only sex tho. If you are only talking about sex here, then just say sex. Don’t try and use physical affection or physical touch to sugar coat it. Physical affection also includes things like holding hands, hugs, cuddling, etc
/r/PurplePillDebate09/04/26 01:58 AM

Yeah, I was going to say. The men I’d dated before my husband were like this. If I were feeling sick and couldn’t hang out or have sex, suddenly I must not love them anymore. My father was very similar in that if anyone ever asked for help or if he was ever corrected, he’d respond with something like ‘So I can’t do anything right’. This isn’t really gendered
/r/PurplePillDebate08/04/26 06:58 PM

I mean, yeah? As long as it doesn’t result in actual harm (violence or suppressing legal rights), genuinely who cares?

/r/PurplePillDebate07/04/26 07:52 PM

Genuine question—if an older woman (or man) sees an age gap relationship with some worrisome signs and gives the young woman advice or red flags to look out for, would you have a problem with that? At least assuming the young woman is open to the advice. As long as they aren’t harassing the woman about her choice, why would anyone not be ok with this?
/r/PurplePillDebate07/04/26 03:06 PM

I’m honestly surprised if most women aren’t into those things like switching locations, lingerie, roleplay, etc. But I see where you’re coming from now if this really isn’t standard for most relationships
/r/PurplePillDebate07/04/26 02:26 PM
1

What do you consider to be variety then? I’m genuinely curious. Because if the only things that are considered ‘variety’ are acts that are painful or uncomfortable for women, then it should be understandable why most won’t want that. Most women are likely open to do more than missionary and doggy in just the bedroom. Switching up locations, dressing up, should count as ‘variety’, no?
/r/PurplePillDebate07/04/26 01:59 PM
1

But why hyperbolize here? So just to be clear, are you saying that women wanting relatively ‘vanilla sex’ is what the problem is? You brought up variety and then brought up that women tend to only do sex the exact same way. But there is variety if you’re talking about the average couple that tends to switch up between positions and such
/r/PurplePillDebate07/04/26 01:42 PM
11

I mean, who really cares? If you feel like you’re incompatible, then leave. It shouldn’t really matter to you if women think it’s not ‘valid’. Some people believe that even cheating isn’t a valid reason to leave somebody, but that doesn’t mean it should stop you
/r/PurplePillDebate07/04/26 01:40 PM

Yes, but it depends on the individual. Personally, my desire for someone grows over time. My desire for my husband is much stronger now, than it was 14 years ago when we were in the ‘honeymoon’ stage. We actually have sex much more frequently compared to the beginning But I’ve also spoken to friends where the honeymoon period is when they had the most desire. It really depends
/r/PurplePillDebate07/04/26 01:38 PM

One position and once a week? Pretty sure most couples rotate at least between a couple positions and with foreplay like oral. Based on my experience and what I’ve heard anyways
/r/PurplePillDebate07/04/26 01:30 PM

I mean, most women aren’t asexual. Most women are going to want sex in their relationships. Wanting ‘vanilla’ sex acts still counts
/r/PurplePillDebate07/04/26 01:25 PM

This isn’t really right tho. Many women can be with the man they desire the most, but just don’t enjoy ‘porn’ style sex, by which I’m referring to rougher sex acts that are often painful. Not being into ‘kinks’ doesn’t mean they don’t enjoy sex or that they don’t desire their partner
/r/PurplePillDebate06/04/26 10:57 PM
7

True, but you have to admit that many ‘kinks’ or preferences a lot of guys want are things that are actively painful for women (anal is a big example). Not so much the reverse from what I’ve seen. Most women don’t really push for sex acts that are painful for men
/r/PurplePillDebate06/04/26 10:52 PM
2

Eh it also depends on what you mean by ‘pleasing men’. Like if a man needs more ‘kinkier’ sex and his partner isn’t into that, then they just aren’t compatible. That’s not a partner being lazy or not caring about his pleasure. Same thing if genders are reversed. Now if it’s something that’s not a limit and your partner can’t be bothered, yea that’s a problem
/r/PurplePillDebate06/04/26 07:43 PM

Aside from someone just like laying there and not participating, ‘good’ and ‘bad’ sex are pretty subjective. Things like kissing styles and various ‘skills’ just comes down to compatibility

This doesn’t really make much sense. Why couldn’t this man breakup in this case? He could literally say they’re incompatible because they are. If she gets upset, well people get upset when they’re dumped. That’s life. I’m not really sure why he’d care so much if she believes he’s misogynistic when she’s spitting out bs at the same time.

How are their attitudes and social skills tho? There are some people who seem like they would be getting a lot of attention on paper (good looks, money, whatever) but who lack social etiquette, lack genuine kindness, can’t read body language or social queues, etc and that plays a massive role.

Are your average friends also going for women that are similar to them in looks? I have several male friends that are average to below average and they’ve dated/hooked up both via apps and meeting organically.

Ok, but not all women even advocate for this or are all emotionally mature. Some women are hypocrites. Some women are assholes. Decent people (men or women) would be accepting of boundaries, and if it doesn’t work for them, they recognize you aren’t compatible and move on
/r/PurplePillDebate25/03/26 01:06 AM

Then they aren’t truly monogamous and should pursue poly relationships. It makes no sense to hurt an innocent person by pretending to be something you’re not. If you can’t be happy and fully satisfied with one women, you shouldn’t pursue women that want that
/r/PurplePillDebate24/03/26 09:31 PM

/r/PurplePillDebate23/03/26 01:57 PM

How can a woman know if a man genuinely desires her? You see men here all the time that talk about how they’ll have sex with and get into relationships with women they aren’t attracted to and just think about porn or other women during
/r/PurplePillDebate22/03/26 04:29 PM

So you just value sexual compatibility the most then? From your other comment, it sounds like you’re only into ‘kinky’ sex (and I’m going to assume mainstream pretty porn). So if she doesn’t enjoy being hurt/degraded during sex at all, but enjoys regular sex with you and genuinely desires you , what then? Or if she wanted to inflict specific acts on you, would you do it to please her?
/r/PurplePillDebate22/03/26 04:16 PM

It’s still a reason why women shouldn’t get involved with men then, unless it’s more money. So if men want to promote this, they also need to be ok with most women not wanting anything to do with them 🤷‍♀️

….you’ve really only ever had either rough or ‘romantic’ sex? Sex has a lot of variation, and if you’re only bouncing between rough and gentle, that’s pretty limited, but do what makes you happy ig The point literally is just that what you like isn’t what everyone likes tho. And it’s arrogant and delusional to believe so.
/r/PurplePillDebate20/03/26 08:24 PM

You really think everyone enjoys the same kind of sex? This is incredibly narrow minded. Like if you enjoy any kind of rougher sex, a lot of people hate it. They aren’t wrong for not liking what you like, and it’s very strange to think that everyone has to like what you do or you think they’re lying
/r/PurplePillDebate20/03/26 08:15 PM

I’m basing this on my own experiences with partners. ED complicates sex, that’s true. But seeing it as a ‘pass/fail’ thing is just plain unhelpful, that’s my point. If it’s a problem, your partner should work with you to help figure it out The whole point is that what makes ‘amazing sex’ isn’t universal. There are women out there who don’t enjoy piv at all and prefer other forms of sex. That would be ‘bad’ to some people, but not to her. It sounds like you’re taking what you consider to be ‘amaz…

It’s not ‘failing’ at sex tho. That’s a very narrow way to view sex. Being ‘amazing’ at sex is incredibly subjective since people all like different things. What one woman enjoys may be something another is completely turned off by
/r/PurplePillDebate20/03/26 07:59 PM

That doesn’t inherently mean the sex is ‘bad’ tho. There’s quite a few workarounds that are still enjoyable. If a partner has an issue with that, then it’s just a compatibility issue ‘Good’ sex isn’t really any specific moves
/r/PurplePillDebate20/03/26 07:48 PM

But a person that’s only had 2 partners can technically be more experienced than someone who’s slept with a new partner every week. Typically in LTRs you’re more comfortable communicating and exploring together to find what you like. Even if someone is a virgin, they literally can explore together, unless one partner just isn’t patient. Someone could have slept with a thousand different people and that still won’t mean that they’ll know how to please you. It’s just about communication

/r/PurplePillDebate20/03/26 06:02 PM

Exactly what I was thinking too. I can’t really think of what ‘basics’ of sex I had to learn with any of my partners. Like what ‘basics’ are they even referring to here? Being able to communicate or know basic anatomy? I feel like everyone should know this Good sex happens when you can read body language well, can communicate with your partner, and have the same or similar sexual preferences
/r/PurplePillDebate20/03/26 05:58 PM

But the things to learn is basically just what your partner likes tho, right? I can’t really think of any specific ‘skills’ you have to ‘learn’ to have good sex. It’s more just being able to read your partner so you both have a good time. But maybe I’m reading too much into what ‘learn’ actually means here
/r/PurplePillDebate20/03/26 05:56 PM

Honestly tho, what ‘basics’ and skills of sex are you specifically referring to? You don’t really have to ‘learn’ or be experienced to do various positions. Are you just referring to kinks? Because even for things like oral, everyone likes different things so you just need to be able to work with your current partner, and I’d hardly call reading body language and communicating a ‘skill’ I’ve had my fair share of experience before my husband and my husband has a lot more than I do, and we have a …

So would you want a woman to date a man she’s not attracted to and the relationship be a deadbedroom? Seems like most men would have a problem with that. If they’re cool with no sex, then sure. But I’m not really sure why you’d want a partner that’s not attracted to or aroused by you 🤷‍♀️

When I say ‘insecure’, I’m more referring to actions. For example, does he get jealous easily? How does he manage that? Does he need constant reassurance or is he able to self regulate? Most people are insecure about something, but healthy people don’t make it a problem in their relationships

Threesomes can damage a relationship tho, so both parties need to be completely on board. It needs to be brought up early on if you aren’t actually monogamous. Doing group sex outside of committed relationships is different from doing it in a casual one. Now if she did it in a previous committed relationship and it didn’t cause issues that led to it falling apart, I agree with you. Oral sex, for the most part, I agree with you. But if it’s more extreme or one-sides, I can see how women take an i…
/r/PurplePillDebate17/03/26 05:59 PM

Exactly this! Even if it were my greatest fantasy, I wouldn’t do it because I love him and don’t want him in pain or to be injured. There’s absolutely 0 pleasure in that even if he ‘consents’ because sex should be mutually enjoyable. The fact that this apparently isn’t how most men here think is scary
/r/PurplePillDebate17/03/26 05:39 PM

If you were injured or hated that experience, you think it’s reasonable that you go through that for the rest of your life? Interesting take
/r/PurplePillDebate17/03/26 05:37 PM

Read it again. I said physical injury. The better question would be, why do you want to do something that actively harms the person you care about? So basically, women should just never explore sexually at all then. Just stick to plain sex and then they can’t be asked for other sex acts, correct? That way, men should not be pushing for sex acts beyond the basics, right?
/r/PurplePillDebate17/03/26 05:34 PM

What counts as ‘simple sex acts’ here tho? If you’re referring to vaginal sex and oral sex, I agree. Past that, it really depends on your partner’s comfort level. Anal, for example, can be painful for some people no matter how much they prep. And a lot of men around here, when referring to ‘kinky’ sex or sex acts, seem to only be talking about anal or BDSM (where the woman is the one having pain inflicted on her) If you’re just talking about basic positions, oral, or light kinks like lingerie an…

We were in a more rural area in the south, but still in the US. If you think women weren’t shamed for not ‘satisfying’ their bfs, you need to talk to more women. Or you’re referring to a very specific portion of the population. Women are constantly told that if they won’t do it, then he’ll cheat. But believe what you want ig

This just isn’t true unless you’re talking about women in the US (and even then, talking about white women). Maybe it’s different for young women now, but when I was younger, we definitely weren’t taught to say no. Boundaries were something you had to learn through trial and error, and I’m in my 30s Are you really trying to claim that not a single woman has been pressured and coerced into sex acts? Women won’t be traumatized or feel afraid by genuinely consensual sex
/r/PurplePillDebate17/03/26 03:55 PM

Being attracted to you doesn’t mean that she’ll be enthusiastic about hurting herself tho. That would be genuinely unhealthy. Having sexual boundaries doesn’t mean a woman isn’t attracted to you (I’m not talking about women who dangle sex on a hook or who act like sex is a chore). For example, surely there’s sex acts you aren’t willing to try, right? Even if you were incredibly attracted to your partner, would you really let them do anything to you?
/r/PurplePillDebate17/03/26 03:50 PM

If a woman is genuinely bragging about enjoying it and then is now refusing to you, then sure. But I’ve seen a lot of men on here claim that even if she were pressured or hated it, she should still do it. Which is just strange to want to have sex with someone that’s not enjoying it
/r/PurplePillDebate17/03/26 03:44 PM

But many women are coerced or pressured into acts they don’t enjoy, and then learn that they can say no. How is this a bad thing? Is it just because she’s learning to say no to sexual acts that are unpleasant for her?

Fair enough. Just genuinely doesn’t make sense imo
/r/PurplePillDebate17/03/26 03:41 PM

This is my problem too. What do these men mean by ‘kinky’? Like can their woman want to shove a bottle up their ass and peg him and that’s what he’s interested in? Or bondage but she wants to tie him up? Or are they just referring to acts that are unpleasant for most women? I have a feeling it’s the latter, but maybe I’m wrong Just bizarre, because by their own definition, they are ‘vanilla’ if they don’t want to be dominated 🤷‍♀️
/r/PurplePillDebate17/03/26 03:36 PM

Okay but look at it this way—say your partner needs to peg you and degrade you to be sexually satisfied. Would you let them? If not, that’s literally how a lot of women feel when men ask for things like anal since it’s literally unpleasant and downright painful for most women. If women pushed for that, then yeah, it’s abuse A lot of sex acts men seem to want around here are acts that are painful or degrading for women and likely things they wouldn’t dream of doing for their woman if she asked.

Tbh, I think if this was clearly specified as just being about consistent sex, including oral (for both parties), most women wouldn’t be up in arms. But on this sub a lot of the men here seem to believe it’s not enough. She has to be their version of ‘kinky’, willing to do anal, engage in BDSM (as the sub) etc. So not a big surprise that that’s what a lot of women are thinking here

I agree. It also depends what you mean by ‘worse’ tho. For example, if your partner tried a sex act one time with their ex and realized it wasn’t for them or got injured from it, not wanting to do it isn’t treating your partner worse. Wanting your parter to do a sex act that actively harms them seems a bit strange, as I imagine decent people would want to have mutually enjoyable sex. It’s like if you tried sashimi one time with an ex and hated it, should you be forced to go out and eat that with…

/r/PurplePillDebate17/03/26 02:48 PM

Something like anal sex can literally lead to injuries that can cause longterm or permanent damage. Would you be able to do that to your partner? If it doesn’t hurt them, then sure. But if it genuinely hurts/injured them, why would you even want that?
/r/PurplePillDebate17/03/26 02:21 PM

What counts as ‘worse’ tho? If a man went continuously into debt and made terrible financial decisions, he wouldn’t be treating a new partner ‘worse’ if he stopped doing so. Same with a woman who may have tried specific sex acts that either injured them or they found they didn’t enjoy. I’d imagine most decent people wouldn’t enjoy sex with a partner that’s actively in pain or not enjoying it as well

This applies to men too. If a woman doesn’t want kids, she should take birth control. But if the man doesn’t want kids, he needs to always use a condom. BOTH parties need to practice safe sex, and it shouldn’t only be on the woman. Do you disagree?

Genuinely, if you don’t want kids, why would you just go off of a woman saying she’s on birth control and skip wearing a condom? Both parties should be doing their part to prevent pregnancy. If she lied, yes that’s a MASSIVE fucking problem. But overall if you don’t want kids as a man, there’s zero reason to not wear a condom. Putting the responsibility only on women isn’t fair.

I mean, if you don’t want to pay, then don’t pay. If the girl you’re seeing has a problem with it, then you just aren’t compatible and you’re not right for each other. If you’re wanting to establish that you won’t pay before the date, there’s not really a lot of options you have to not appear ‘tacky’.

Genuinely, why lie tho? That’s just pushing to be in a relationship with someone you aren’t compatible with and taking away their ability to make an informed decision on the relationship. They’re essentially only in a relationship with you because they were purposefully misled. Why not seek out someone who understands or has similar values (like if a woman is a virgin or only has been with an ex partner, why pursue that if the subject is important to them)?
/r/PurplePillDebate11/03/26 03:30 PM

This take is so strange to me. So in your opinion, if a man has his hair cut and styled a specific way to look more attractive, is that him being dishonest? Is a man growing a beard to hide a weak chin dishonest? If he decides to get facial piercings is he being dishonest?

How is hair dye or makeup deception tho? How is it any different from wearing a certain style of clothing, or getting tattoos or piercings?

But honestly, why is that a problem? Those people are still able to date and get into relationships, right? I think a big problem is that when people complain about ‘not getting attention’ or not being able to date, it’s because they’re aiming for conventionally attractive people that everyone else also wants. They’ll ignore the average or below average person that would be available for a relationship because they focus so much on physical attractiveness.

Where did I invalidate the statistic? I’m point out that the statistic doesn’t tell the whole story, and that the situation is nuanced. The statistic is useful when it’s one part.

Thinking in black and white is literally a childish mentality. So lecturing someone to ‘grow up’ is a bit strange here.

How’s it ‘virtue signaling’ tho? If you ask a woman what she’s attracted to, and she’s attracted to someone’s personality and considers that the most important to her, that’s just her being honest. These likely aren’t the same women that are actively pursuing ‘chads’

There are literally women out there who date obese men (who aren’t rich). So yeah, there are people in the world who do date and are attracted to someone based on personality For most people, it’s a mixture of both. If you look outside, most couples are average and maybe even below average. And not all of them are going to be miserable and unhappy. Most people should date their ‘looks match’, if you’re average, why are you going for a woman that’s literally an influencer on social media

The point is about how statistics on their own, without any context are pretty useless as they don’t show the whole picture, or even a decent part of it. It’s to show that if you give more grace to the study on why men abandon their kids so often, that same grace needs to be extended to the women who divorce. If you can’t acknowledge that men (or your team, so to speak) can play at least some kind of role in why divorces are so high, that’s you being biased For example, if a man leaves his wife …

The average young woman is still overweight tho if you do a quick search. Women aged 20-29 are on average around 170lbs, which is typically considered overweight. Even if we try and argue that it’s only the 26-29 year old that are skewing this, the average woman isn’t in shape or attractive enough to have a large following (so they’d have an average or relatively bland face). Are these the women you’re referring to?
/r/PurplePillDebate06/03/26 04:39 PM
2

You didn’t answer my question, which is interesting. Very true, they did choose to leave. But again, would you say the same about the stats on men that actively want custody of their own children? They may have their reasons why, but most men do not actively want or pursue custody of their own children. This needs to be accepted as well, right? Men are deciding to not go for custody of their children at high rates, and by your own logic, the ‘why’ shouldn’t matter
/r/PurplePillDebate06/03/26 04:35 PM

The average woman in the US (if that’s where you’re located) is overweight. So if you’re referring to women that are relatively in shape or have any sort of following on social media, they are, by definition, above average
/r/PurplePillDebate06/03/26 04:30 PM

Where in my comment did I state that men are at fault? Can you please quote me? I’m merely pointing out that statistics alone are meaningless. For example, the stat about how many men actually fight for custody, I do believe that there are valid reasons why it’s so low, such as men being told/pressured into giving it up. But do you extend women the same courtesy on that stat you provided? Actually, why is me bringing up that stat so upsetting to you?

Women are attracted to different things tho. Some women who answer on reddit genuinely might be attracted to someone’s personality and don’t really value physical appearance. This isn’t automatically a ‘lie’ when you see a woman in real life focus more on physical appearance.

I also know women who think it’s shallow and put…

Are you referring to all women or just conventionally attractive women? Because you still see many average to unattractive couples out and about.

Once again, have you ever thought about the ‘why’ behind those stats? Taking the numbers at face value is meaningless. There’s also a study that says that only 8% of men want custody of their children. Do you also take that stat at face value and not question it?

Why bother getting married tho? Men can get into poly relationships if they aren’t monogamous or stay in casual relationships to be with many women. There’s no reason to lie to someone and hurt them when there are plenty of options for them

What do you define as actual desire tho? For many women, their ultimate desire in life isn’t the most ‘objectively attractive’ man they see. Are you using ‘desire’ just to describe ‘lust’?

Attraction can and often does go deeper than looks tho. Physical attraction is just one aspect of being attracted to someone (unless you’re someone that only cares about physical appearance) For a lot of people, physical attraction isn’t the most important.

Do most women not hug/kiss/cuddle/touch men that they’re dating? That seems a bit unlikely to me. I can understand that most men don’t receive affection outside of a romantic relationship, but sex shouldn’t be the only way Just like hugging and cuddling, sex is hot and sweaty too. There’s always kissing as well. I’ve never really heard of women being so cold to men they’re actively dating, but maybe it’s a recent thing?

What do you mean? I never said that men are automatically wrong or that women are always right. I’m saying that if you’re dating, you should enjoy both hanging out (outside of sex) and having sex. I’ve noticed a lot of men claim that hanging out/going on dates are ‘a waste of time’ if there’s no sex. That’s what I’m referring to If a woman has a ‘what do I get out of it’ mentality, I’d say the exact same thing to her
/r/PurplePillDebate04/03/26 08:59 PM

But the thing is, if you have an issue with women like that, why not just filter them out? If you want to have sex quickly, then you just aren’t compatible with women that prefer to wait. No one’s in the wrong and you don’t have to date those women. I just don’t understand why so many men are angry that some women do this? If you ever meet one, you can walk away and find someone actually compatible
/r/PurplePillDebate04/03/26 08:41 PM

Of course. But it’s weird when some men have this mentality of ‘what do I get out of it?’ when there’s a nice date but no sex. You should have ‘gotten’ the nice time hanging out together, the same as what the woman ‘got’ out of it

I’ve only ever heard about women like that from men and from what they’ve said, it eventually comes out that those women were very promiscuous and they weren’t the exceptions.

Exactly this. I do not feel safe or connected early on and have next to no interest in sex. However, once there’s a connection and I trust them, I typically have the higher libido. Been in my marriage for 10+ years now and still have the higher libido between my husband and I

How? Demi-sexual just means that they need to have an emotional connection before they feel sexual attraction. Once that attraction develops, they can have a high drive. Like personally, I need to have a strong emotional attachment before I want sex, but now in my marriage my preferred frequency is 1-3 a day, which is higher than my husband’s preferred amount (maybe that’s ‘low’ but from what I’ve read and heard from others, doesn’t seem to be the case)
/r/PurplePillDebate04/03/26 06:03 PM

I get what you’re saying, but typically sexual abuse cases are harder to prove. Unless it was violent, for example, how could a woman prove that her partner forced her to have sex? Like what evidence could she provide if she had a freeze or fawn response? Or if she had vaginal trauma, how could she prove that she didn’t consent to ‘rough sex’ if that’s what her partner decided to say?

The difference often is the power imbalance (difference in experience). I’ve been in a relationship with an older man and with men my age back then.

I’d say the same thing if a woman is dating a man much younger than her. The issue is mainly that younger people have much less life experience (sure, not always). This makes them much easier to ‘mold’, manipulate, or create power dynamics with, as they often don’t know what bad behavior to look out for.

/r/PurplePillDebate12/02/26 10:15 PM

We aren’t talking about what’s ‘legal’. It’s about morals. If I know that someone is immature and easy to manipulate, I’m not going to take advantage of that. It’s not illegal, but no decent person would do that Like genuine question—if ‘older women’ don’t bash men who go for younger women, but only advise the younger women of red flags to look out for/look out for the woman, would you have a problem with this?
/r/PurplePillDebate12/02/26 06:23 PM

Yeah, I don’t think OP realizes that ‘older’ women were once young women too. They’ve likely experienced being manipulated by older men. Most of the time when I see an older woman bothered by this, they just try and advise the younger woman to try and help. Not all age differences are predatory but a lot are. And a lot of women experience this

If you want women like that, then you’re free to pursue those women.

Some men on this sub have said this exact thing tho (and I highly doubt that they are the only men to ever feel this way). A while back, I asked if they would consider a friend that they exclusively have sex with (a FWB) as being the same as a loving relationship. Several men chimed in and said there was no difference between a FWB and a relationship. A lot of men really do only value sex

It’s romantic love and romantic feelings that separate a close friend from a partner. A partner is someone you have romantic and sexual feelings for. Sexual and romantic feelings can and often do intertwine, but they are not the same

Yup. But there are men on here that have said there’s no difference between FWB and a relationship to them. It’s eye opening tbh

Without shared goals, emotional connection, and non sexual affection, a marriage is dead. All of it is important to maintain. If you’re just friends that have sex, but there’s no commitment or longterm goals, that’s not a relationship for most people

Both can be true tho, right? A woman is more likely to be sexually abused by a man and not a woman, right? A man is more likely to be violently assaulted by another man. This doesn’t mean all men are like this. It’s strange to me on why that statement is so upsetting. It quite literally says ‘not all men’. Why is it bad to point out that women are mostly sexually abused by men? Is it wrong and women are actually being sexually assaulted by women?

But that’s the thing. What if most women would be happier to be single than to ‘settle’ for a man they don’t want. This will result in many men not finding a partner. So what would you say the solution would be?

Not wanting to be hurt or degraded during sex doesn’t make someone prudish. Would you also say that a man who doesn’t want to be degraded is prudish?
/r/PurplePillDebate08/02/26 04:41 PM

If there’s no other incidents and the relationship is solid, then forgetting a birthday isn’t a big deal. It happens. The only way that would be a dealbreaker and I would end the relationship is if I felt like I wasn’t being appreciated or listened to and neglected. Then it wouldn’t even be about that incident. It’d just be the straw that broke the camel’s back

/r/PurplePillDebate07/02/26 04:58 PM

Don’t a lot of men frequently say that single moms are ‘for recreational use only’ and shit like that? Men have made it pretty clear that they’ll have sex with women they would never actually be in a relationship with. Most women don’t want to be used for sex like that. Seeing that men would have sex with you doesn’t really mean much unless it’s from a man that sees sex as love

There are also cases where the husband wants a divorce but makes no actual plan for it so the wife ends up being the one to file. I know someone who this happened to. Husband wanted a divorce and was already living with his other woman, but never did file, just walked out. This isn’t a one off case either. There’s also cases where they might have asked for help repeatably but were ignored over a period of time. This will inevitably lead to resentment, and I see a lot of men who say that women do…

How can you prove it’s most women tho? And I didn’t address casual sex because you’ll dismiss whatever I say. Average men can have casual sex. Many do as long as they’re likable.

Ah, always turns into attacks around here. Not surprised. I just don’t get why try to push so hard to be in a monogamous relationship if you aren’t actually monogamous? If you want to be with her friends so badly, why not break up and pursue them? Is it because you’re afraid they’ll reject you?

Genuine question—do you care about being just presentable to your partner’s friends? Or are you wanting them actively to be attracted to you and see you as ‘an option’ if you were single? If it’s the former, not really a problem. If it’s the latter? ….your partner deserves better
/r/PurplePillDebate06/02/26 04:57 AM

I can’t see how that’s important to any mature person. Caring about what other people think constantly just screams insecurity. Your partner should be enough. If not, you either aren’t that into them or you aren’t actually monogamous

I feel bad for couples that don’t aim to still be attractive to their partners and can’t relate. I’ve been married for close to 13 years now, and we both make sure we put in the time/resources to stay healthy and attractive to each other. It’s the bare minimum if you genuinely care about them imo
/r/PurplePillDebate06/02/26 04:47 AM

That’s not what you’re asking tho. Just because I don’t value other men’s opinions on my appearance doesn’t mean I don’t put a lot of effort in. I do. I stay in shape and wear clothing that I know my husband likes and work hard to stay as attractive as possible to him. I don’t do this for validation from other men, which is what it seems like you’re wanting from women other than your partner
/r/PurplePillDebate06/02/26 04:40 AM

Again, why would I care? I’m not looking to be with them. I don’t need their approval. I aim to be attractive to my husband because his attention and opinion is the one I value. Why would anyone need validation from other men/women if they’re happy in their relationship? I can’t understand why you’d value other women’s opinions when you have a partner
/r/PurplePillDebate06/02/26 04:30 AM

No? Why would I care? I’d care if my husband found me unattractive. But the others? Not really. Now if it were like a hygiene issue or coming across like a bum, then yeah. Because that makes not only me look bad, but my family look bad too. But caring that my friend’s partners are attracted to me? No, because the only man’s attention I care about and need is my husbands
/r/PurplePillDebate06/02/26 04:21 AM

But why does it matter? Your partner’s attraction to you should be what’s important. I don’t even see why someone in a relationship would even be thinking about other men/women or what they think if they’re actually into their partner
/r/PurplePillDebate06/02/26 04:11 AM

I mean it really depends, right? Most of my friend’s partners I can honestly say I don’t find attractive. My friend obviously think they’re hot, but to me? Nah. Same for my husband. When I first showed them, they were like ‘oh, not my type’ and that was kinda the similar response I had to their partners. But the thought doesn’t go beyond that. If they’re happy and attracted to their partner, then that’s what matters
/r/PurplePillDebate06/02/26 04:08 AM

If around my height (5’9) is tall to you, then yeah sure. But also like, these are friends of mine. They even admit themselves that the men aren’t attractive, but they were horny and wanted someone that specific night. It does happen. Maybe not as often as men do this, but it does happen

/r/PurplePillDebate05/02/26 02:23 PM

Not all women tho. And if men want to do this without asking, I don’t want to see any complaints if they ever get reported for assault. Many women don’t like rough sex at all. Not everyone wants to be hurt and injured during sex. Not sure why you’re wanting to hurt women during sex, but ok

Ot really depends. For how they view sex, even if they also view it as an emotional connection, I’m not compatible with someone that can separate it and treat it as only physical.

I think most women would be understanding if you were open about how spending lavishly like that was actively hurting you. Not sure if this equivalence really works.

It really depends. From what I’ve seen, women that tend to be ‘hot’ or conventionally attractive have incredibly high standards (not all that I’ve know, but I can only think of 2 that don’t and those two also married their high school sweethearts so 🤷‍♀️). But they also can afford to.

Yes, they typically go hand in hand. But they are different things. Romantic feelings aren’t only sexual, that’s my point. Romantic feelings is typically present in relationships so sex isn’t the only thing that separates a relationship from a friendship. Most people would probably not be satisfied in a relationship with zero non sexual affection and only having sex. Both are important to most people

Sex isn’t the only thing that separates a romantic relationship from a friendship tho. Or would an exclusive FWB be the exact same as a committed relationship?

You’re trying to say that women should ‘vet better’, and I’m asking you for a detailed answer on how. Since you’re giving out advice, surely you’d have detailed information on how exactly to vet better

How would you vet a potential partner with a 100% success rate to not do something like this down the line?

True. But it’s only fair that if the man gets to prioritize his ‘favorite’, then the women get to prioritize theirs. Otherwise, it’s inherently unbalanced and toxic

How would his partners having sex with men mean that he’s having sex with men? That makes 0 sense. Poly relationships don’t mean having sex with multiple partners all in the same room at the same time

If you’re just going to reject everything as ‘criticism’ then no one can help you 🤷‍♀️ Good luck

But if you’re someone who wants to have sex with multiple women, why can those women also not have sex with other men? I’m curious as to why if that’s the case

I’ve always wondered this, but if you’re a person who’d like to have multiple partners, would you also be ok with your partners having other partners?

To look at yourself and how you’re coming across to other people, not just women. If ugly obese men can get invited to sex parties and hookup, looks aren’t the only issue. Looks can make it harder, but it doesn’t make it impossible. And the guys I’m talking about are anime/gaming people too. They aren’t exactly ‘chads’ Now are you finally going to answer mine? Or continue to gaslight?
/r/PurplePillDebate02/02/26 04:51 PM

And here comes the gaslighting. You do know that even when a profile is hidden, people can still search and see your posts and comments, right? Why are you so ashamed?

You just deleted it and it was posted to the Vent subreddit 😭 Had a feeling so luckily got a screenshot if anyone doubts. But honestly, this speaks volumes and I’m not sure why you not only lied but also went thru the trouble to delete it. Doesn’t make any sense But the point is, being ugly isn’t the whole reason why. Ugly men get laid every day. If you refuse to do anything that might help, then no one else can help you.

Yeah, if you check his post history, he says he’s afraid of being a 40 year old virgin. Which means this strategy isn’t working. And he’s also magically stopped replying when advice was given lol

Why did you avoid my second question? When you go to these events are you social and easy going? How do you approach and talk to people? In my experience the men who get invited to shit talk to everyone, not just women, and they genuinely enjoy getting to know people. If you’re a pleasant person, it’ll happen. I’ve seen obese men invited to orgies and BSDM parties. It’s more heavily dependent on your social skills and that you don’t come across as threatening. If you are autistic or socially anx…

Why do you prefer to deceive women? And also, didn’t you make a post 4 days ago on how you’re afraid to be a 40 year old virgin? So is deceiving just a new strategy you’re now trying? Places like music festivals, conventions, clubs, etc. I’ve been to all of these and people are crazy. You don’t even have to be good looking, just social and you’ll get invited to weird shit. If you have unrealistic standards, then that’s on you tho
/r/PurplePillDebate02/02/26 03:57 PM

How’s this been working out so far?
/r/PurplePillDebate02/02/26 03:51 PM

Why not pay for sex? Or go to places where more sex positive people are and hookup?
/r/PurplePillDebate02/02/26 03:45 PM

Because they aren’t emotionally mature? Or they haven’t moved on? Either way these are things you need to filter out so you can drop them
/r/PurplePillDebate01/02/26 04:16 PM

How can you objectively measure if a partner is/was better for you? Someone can objectively be very conventionally attractive, wealthy, kind, etc and you still don’t love them or care about them as much as a partner that was less attractive, poor, etc.
/r/PurplePillDebate01/02/26 04:13 PM

That still leaves at least 20% of women who aren’t like this tho even if we take this stat as the universal truth. So go for those women
/r/PurplePillDebate31/01/26 07:10 PM

I mean, would you say that if someone has been attacked by dogs before and had a fear of dogs, they should be forced to be happy around them? They aren’t allowed to be afraid? Plus, what’s wrong with being cautious around strangers in general? Personally, I’m weary and cautious of all strangers, especially if they are noticeably physically stronger than I am. It’s not about hating anyone, it’s about trying to stay as safe as possible and not put myself at risk
/r/PurplePillDebate31/01/26 07:07 PM

Men still leave after this happens tho. So how can a woman guarantee it won’t. Are you saying most men will wait until marriage. Would you?
/r/PurplePillDebate30/01/26 01:05 PM

In the first tho, they only ‘change’ their mind because they’re actively in danger. They’re basically being forced to either appeal to men or die and that’s not really a choice. It’s less violent than 3, sure. But it’s something that will still be harmful to women longterm
/r/PurplePillDebate30/01/26 04:10 AM

Would you still make it a crime in the case of deadbedrooms?
/r/PurplePillDebate30/01/26 12:37 AM

As long as men aren’t giving their dicks out, then sure
/r/PurplePillDebate30/01/26 12:37 AM

Would men still honor it and not cheat even if their wife is sexually incompatible with them for any reason? Could be mismatch in libidos, mismatch in sexual interests, etc.
/r/PurplePillDebate30/01/26 12:14 AM

Fair enough, but if you want women to settle with men they aren’t attracted to, you shouldn’t expect sex outside of trying for children
/r/PurplePillDebate30/01/26 12:12 AM

Same here. Even when I was single, I don’t like being approached by anyone. I wouldn’t make them uncomfortable if they’re polite, but I’d find a way to disengage and continue with what I’m doing
/r/PurplePillDebate29/01/26 11:44 PM

Men do the same thing tho. How many men would be willing to wait until marriage for sex and not complain about it?
/r/PurplePillDebate29/01/26 11:43 PM

Then why exactly is it a problem if women decide to chase ‘chads’? If it won’t help anything to not do it, then why should they stop?
/r/PurplePillDebate29/01/26 11:29 PM

You’re still not answering how this would help men that are struggling with dating.
/r/PurplePillDebate29/01/26 11:11 PM
7

Yes, that’s what would happen to those women. My question is how would this help men? They’ll be single and alone too
/r/PurplePillDebate29/01/26 11:10 PM
7

Or men can keep asking out women and whoever doesn’t reject him is what his league is 🤷‍♀️ But a lot of men here have openly admitted that they aren’t attracted to their ‘level’
/r/PurplePillDebate29/01/26 11:09 PM
6

Then a man’s level is just women that don’t reject him, right?
/r/PurplePillDebate29/01/26 11:08 PM
10

So you’d agree that women should make men wait while they are able to vet to guarantee that the man is good? No complaints?
/r/PurplePillDebate29/01/26 11:07 PM

And the woman can’t have sex with ‘chad’ unless he consents. Both of them cause this situation
/r/PurplePillDebate29/01/26 11:07 PM

How can women make sure 100% of the time that they won’t be ‘pumped and dumped’, as you put it? Would all men be happier if women collectively decided sex was only for reproduction and nothing else?
/r/PurplePillDebate29/01/26 10:57 PM
5

Again, if women decided to either get commitment from ‘chads’ or remain forever single, how does this help men that aren’t ‘chads’? They’ll still struggle in dating and be alone. Or they’ll be settled for and have a partner that resents them. Is that a good thing?
/r/PurplePillDebate29/01/26 10:55 PM
9

Yes, but how will this help men. If most women still won’t date them, then their genes also die out
/r/PurplePillDebate29/01/26 10:54 PM

Let’s say that’s theoretically true, would you really want your wife to feel forced to stay and be miserable? So you’d have a deadbedroom and a wife that’s resentful and unhappy. How is that a good thing?
/r/PurplePillDebate29/01/26 10:53 PM
3

Yeah, exactly. I was single for 8 years after my last relationship (including no casual sex or dating). I don’t see why that’d be any better than if I had only waited 8 days
/r/PurplePillDebate29/01/26 10:50 PM
4

Then he’s also contributing to the problem then. If ‘chads’ didn’t have sex with less attractive women, this wouldn’t happen
/r/PurplePillDebate29/01/26 10:42 PM
7

Ok, but what happens if those women ‘return to reality’ and decide they’d rather be single than ‘settle’? Men are still in the same situation
/r/PurplePillDebate29/01/26 10:40 PM
5

But doesn’t this apply to men as well? If men are constantly getting rejected and getting no attention from women they’re attracted to, then those women are out of their league and they need to date less attractive women, right?

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