| 0 | The "patriarchy" is a boogeyman used to justify hatred and abuse towards men.The only demographic that is a net contribution in terms of taxes are white men. Every other demographic is a net drain. That tells me that the economy is not doing better. Pretty big non sequitur here. Women say this because they have spent the last 50 years supporting legislation that is designed to pass their accountability off on to men. It is a byproduct of female hypergamy and solipsism. This one's a keeper. Love it, chef's kiss. Politics is not better because women supported some legislat… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/01/26 05:47 PM |
| 2 | The "patriarchy" is a boogeyman used to justify hatred and abuse towards men.We can definitely have this conversation, I love it, let's jump in. But let's just get the ground rules clear first. What are we comparing today to? 3800 BC, 660BC, 1279, 1789, 1926, 1992? Because otherwise, you know we'll just talk over each other. Have you tried to look around outside your own head an narrow vision to seek for trends and objective metrics? Yes, I have. We'll get into that, no worries)) | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/01/26 04:48 PM |
| 4 | The "patriarchy" is a boogeyman used to justify hatred and abuse towards men.Economically we're doing incredibly better. Politically probably better. Socially and culturally seems to be more subjective, but to me it seems much better as well. outside China I think you have no idea what's going on in China. We have so far riding the ups from WW2 down the crater of modernism. Or history apparently. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/01/26 04:00 PM |
| 5 | Regarding Cold Approaches, location doesn’t matter much tbh.Think of it more like when you get approached by a salesman or advertised to. Some people are receptive, some never are, and for some it depends on the product or presentation. Some people are great salesmen, others just aren't. That's fine too. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/12/25 07:03 PM |
| 1 | This is the worst decade to be dating.Mine is too, more or less. Mine is also quite a bit more segregated than São Paulo, but I don't think you care about things outside this bubble. you don't now what your talking about when it comes to American demographics Yes I do. But it's not the topic at hand. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/11/25 01:41 AM |
| 1 | This is the worst decade to be dating.The fraction of America we're talking about is a tiny fraction of the world. It would be a mistake to narrowly focus just on this little bubble. America is a better test case than brazil by far. No, not all of Brazil, but specifically Southern and Southeastern Brazil, and São Paulo in particular is much better because of the differences in its history with slavery and the lack of Jim Crow and a different pattern of internal migration after manumission than the Great Migration. Plus of course imm… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/11/25 08:10 PM |
| 1 | This is the worst decade to be dating.Parts of America for sure. But even those parts, in my experience, have less competition than you'd think, because of how (self-)segregating society is. But outside of America, you are not seeing significant interracial competition in Delhi, Osaka, Istanbul, Moscow, Jakarta, Kinshasa etc. If I had to guess, honestly, São Paulo is probably the best case study for something like this. I think it'd be fascinating and very telling to see the results there. Also Singapore, because of the government f… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/11/25 09:16 PM |

| 2 | Dating is insanely inequal and unfair for men, yet no one’s adressing it even though it affects fundamental humanIt's apples to oranges. Women and men are not in competition. They're complementary. Wanting them to be equal is like a business complaining about how good customers have it. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/10/25 10:45 PM |
| 1 | We're headed toward rich get richer in the dating market aka PolygynyI think your assessment/assumption of what conservatism and liberalism are is incorrect, both in terms of economics and mating. On a side note, I've heard sex was amazing in the Eastern Bloc countries, and I wonder how good it is in Afghanistan today. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/10/25 12:48 AM |
| 3 | Passport bros, porn, OF, age gap relationships, prostitution and sex robots are all ethical. The only reason why (many) women oppose them is due to threat of intrasexual competitionMaybe they just think they're cringey, as I do. For the record, I think all of these are completely ethical and I've also engaged in most of these, with mostly positive experiences. And I still think they're cringe. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/09/25 09:38 AM |
| 1 | Manly, masculine and high testosterone doesn't automatically translate to attractive to women.I think you can choose either. It's like a company knowing its identity and market segmentation. Niche might also have less competition as well. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 03:35 AM |
| 1 | We need to stop comparing sex with money, these are not great trade offs to begin with.If the prices are high, it's because the markets have set them high. If the price of gold is $3600 an oz, or the price of a prostitute in NYC is $300/hr, it's because the market has set those prices. It's the price suppliers will charge that buyers will be willing to pay after shopping around. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/09/25 08:55 PM |
| 2 | Males should be told to dress betterTurns out a well dressed unattractive dude is still an unattractive dude. But a well dressed average dude is moderately more attractive. Dressing well is probably the last thing to improve if you want to be more attractive. Getting in shape is like 100 times more effective. Maybe more effective, but less efficient. Much easier to dress well than to get in shape, which is exacerbated through diminishing returns. (Obviously we should be doing both as they're not mutually exclusive.) | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/08/25 10:23 PM |
| 3 | Males should be told to dress betterI think it's a cultural thing. Menswear is, generally, more expensive but it's designed to have fewer and higher quality pieces. Which, as a man, I prefer any day to women's need for trends and endless seasonal variations, all the while their quality is quite poor. The problem (speaking for American men, but catching up with the rest of the developed world) is that we're conditioned more and more to buy cheaper, low quality clothing. Our culture, and our fathers, have taught us less and less abo… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/08/25 10:04 PM |

| 1 | How do you screen for political compatibility, and how important is that for you when dating?Look brother I don’t give an actual fuck what you do with your life or what you care about. I personally am not going to associate with people who are this checked out of their own life, and since I am an adult with agency, I get to decide exactly who I want around me. Hate it for you if you don't like that answer but it's a YOU problem. Yes, you say that, but this was clearly a very emotional and touchy response. We disagree, and that's okay.

| 1 | How do you screen for political compatibility, and how important is that for you when dating?I know. We're allowed to have different opinions. I see that you're so emotionally seething and bothered by the opinions of someone else on the internet. I encourage you to take a deep breath and let it go.People have different perspectives, and that's okay. Other people are just that - other people. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/06/25 03:40 AM |

| 1 | Is being apolitical a good or a bad thing when it comes to dating and relationships?Yeah, I'm a very political person, and I don't think I've ever met anyone (irl anyway) who has my level of interest. And I've seen the other side too. I used to live in Ukraine, and the 90's in the ex-Soviet Union really disillusioned a lot of people, and the corruption and dysfunction made people throw their hands up at anything political. When the first round of the war started, there were a lot of people who weren't into it, who just wanted peace but cared nothing for the two sides. We're Ame… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/06/25 09:11 PM |
| 3 | Is being apolitical a good or a bad thing when it comes to dating and relationships?I have a very different personal experience. Especially when I talk about finance, local politics or war, these earnestly good honest people really don't care, and say they don't. Obviously this all anecdotal, so ymmv | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/06/25 08:32 PM |

| 3 | Is being apolitical a good or a bad thing when it comes to dating and relationships?I get it, but there are a lot more things that "affect people's livelihood" than people have the ability to care about. The civil war, earthquake and genocide happening in Myanmar is causing a huge amount of human suffering - but I'm not dumping my girlfriend because she doesn't have that on her radar. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/06/25 08:10 PM |
| 1 | How do you screen for political compatibility, and how important is that for you when dating?I get it, and everyone gets their preferences. But I would think the starting point is with the political philosophers you read and the way you engage with them. Maybe economic theory too. Political party seems (at least to me) like an insignificant starting point. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/06/25 06:55 PM |
| 9 | Is being apolitical a good or a bad thing when it comes to dating and relationships?Honestly, I'd rather someone be apolitical than only be slightly informed and have strong political beliefs. It takes a lot of effort and study to know what's going on, and the number of people who know peanuts about a subject and then hold strong (incorrect) beliefs makes me shake my head. In fact, they're the reason disastrous populists like Trump get elected. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/06/25 05:53 PM |

There are a lot of important issues but I think most people wouldn't care about these issues, and that's okay. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/06/25 05:31 PM |
| 1 | How do you screen for political compatibility, and how important is that for you when dating?I think Democrat vs Republican in 2025 should be a tiny part of someone's political beliefs. It's a very narrow view of politics in general. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/06/25 04:25 PM |
| 1 | How do you screen for political compatibility, and how important is that for you when dating?Let's put it in perspective - would you judge people who didn't know about the city's transportation funding, the current federal funds rate or the Sudanese Civil War? Those issues are just as important and screwed up as anything going on in Capitol Hill. But if someone isn't interested in local politics, finance or international affairs, you probably wouldn't look down on them right? I think you might be too caught up in this.

| 1 | How do you screen for political compatibility, and how important is that for you when dating?Also anyone in the US claiming "I'm not political" in this climate is either oblivious or lying about their affiliation. Immediate no. I find that attitude quite extreme, and shows the narrow perspective we see the world nowadays. There are plenty of decent, normal people who are apolitical in the US today. It's fine if they're not compatible with you, but to call them oblivious or liars is over the top. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/06/25 05:10 AM |

On top of that, you can choose not to watch the match. pseudointellectual bullshit None of the above. You would need to redress this false viewpoint before we can continue to discuss this issue.

| 7 | Red pillers: What would make you change your mind?I can't imagine the data being anywhere close to being sufficient to telling the story one way or the other (yet). It's not like economics where we have everyone's transactions and bank accounts and interest and tax returns etc. And even then, we have difficulty understanding why the Japanese economy is the way it is for example. The data on social media gives us a tiny glimpse that requires a lot hypothesizing and is very prone to be used as confirmation bias one way or the other. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/05/25 07:26 PM |
| 3 | Red pillers: What would make you change your mind?I think that's the problem with all of this, and I'm not saying anyone's right or wrong. It's just so anecdotal. At least with a social science like economics, we have an overwhelming amount of data. We don't have anything close to that for romantic relationships. People will argue over their own limited anecdotal experiences forever. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/05/25 07:09 PM |
| 1 | I dont understand why people get upset about other people's unrealistic standardsNo, your original point was that women do not genuinely love only a small minority of exceptional men, because most married men are not exceptional That was someone else. you're not even denying that most men live in loveless relationships I highly doubt it's as you describe, but that's not a topic I'm interested in.

But that's okay, because the fantasies we had of life as teenagers were never realistic, and real life can be as good as you make it. Until we all die of course, every last one of us.

Whether it's that dream career, body, apartment, lifestyle, friend group or partner. The fantasy TV show/music video that you envisioned your life when you were 16 mostly never materializes.

If you are open, I'd be happy to share my perspective, but if not, I won't waste my time and yours. Let me know. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/09/24 10:52 PM |
| 1 | CMV: Why pickup artistry and redpill advice is better than SCIENCE_TM/bluepill advice.These are legit reasons redpill has an advantage over science. There are also many reasons science has an edge over redpill that you haven't brought up. You have to always look at things from both perspectives. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/09/24 10:47 PM |
| 1 | When dating, why do people claim to speak a foreign language?I think you're reading a lot into me and who I am. I'm just trying to have a conversation. Not emotional, not passionate, not offended or angry, not trying to pick a fight, not the end of the world one way or the other, not a debate or litigation or a row. Just a casual discussion. Nobody's trying to get personal or vindictive here. Happy to continue to talk about the substantive points. It's an interesting topic. But if that's not in the cards, all good too. Cheers | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/03/24 06:56 AM |
| 1 | When dating, why do people claim to speak a foreign language?Only one person got hurt and wanted an explanation for a phrase in a different language. Nah, wasn't hurt, but I was quite surprised. I thought we were having an actual discussion when suddenly name calling came into it. Señor are you autistic? I mean I highly doubt it, but I won't rule it out. I'd have to disagree with them It’s wild how hyper-focused you are on verbs that literally mean the same thing when translated. This has nothing to do with ser/estar. That's a pretty common mistake. It's … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/03/24 06:29 AM |
| 1 | When dating, why do people claim to speak a foreign language?I really hope that me claiming you don't speak Spanish has offended you and you're lashing out or something. It's perfectly fine not to speak a language! My Ukrainian is at the same level as your Spanish, it's not a big deal at all! I find it distracts from the main topic of the conversation at hand, so let's get back to it. I think (can't be sure) that you're overestimating your Spanish ability. It's not just a few mistakes here or there, it's... "estoy no perfecto." You gotta understand, that'… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/03/24 05:44 AM |
| 1 | When dating, why do people claim to speak a foreign language?Yes, and I'm saying the standard is higher than that. Your grammar can't be so bad as to write "Estoy no perfecto". I can get by in Ukrainian. I can hold a conversation. But I would never say I spoke it like on a CV or something. Don't you agree that comprehension isn't enough? I gave the example that bodega guy. I mean, I also can play a few chords on the ukulele, but I'd never say I can play the ukulele, right? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/03/24 04:14 AM |
| 1 | When dating, why do people claim to speak a foreign language?Why should I apologize? I have always understood. My point is that being understood does not equal being able to speak the language. Do you want to address that at all? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/03/24 04:03 AM |
| 1 | When dating, why do people claim to speak a foreign language?I will repeat. I can absolutely understand your Spanish. No pienso que puedes comprenderlos jajajajaja I just said I could, why do you keep doubting that? Lo siento si mi frases duelen tus emociones Yeah, uncalled for, man. Why debase the conversation like that? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/03/24 03:58 AM |
| 1 | When dating, why do people claim to speak a foreign language?Always understood. Never claimed I didn't. That has never changed. I can absolutely 100% understand your Spanish. Let me repeat once again. I can and always have been able to absolutely understand your Spanish. Did I ever say otherwise? And please address the name calling bit. What was that? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/03/24 03:54 AM |
| 1 | When dating, why do people claim to speak a foreign language?Señor bobo? We really name calling here now? I'm calling you out for that one man. Standard have I. Be is understood more it. That standard people most share. But whatever, if that's your standard, I'm putting German, Japanese and Ukrainian on my resume in the future. Happy? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/03/24 03:49 AM |
| 1 | When dating, why do people claim to speak a foreign language?Yes, they would. I am also able to listen and respond to the guy at my bodega. We're not asking if you're able to be understood. We're asking if you can say that you speak Spanish. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/03/24 03:39 AM |
| 1 | When dating, why do people claim to speak a foreign language?You got the vocabulary, but come on, read that first sentence again. All the vocab in the world can't make up for that | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/03/24 03:35 AM |
| 1 | When dating, why do people claim to speak a foreign language?My expectations are like, I don't know B2? Maybe even B1. Not sure that's high, really. And yeah, I make errors in Spanish constantly. But if someone wrote, in English "Perfect I no am", that's a pretty telling mistake. My father might say "I not perfect", that one can slide I feel, but "Perfect I no am" is a bit much | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/03/24 03:27 AM |
| 4 | When dating, why do people claim to speak a foreign language?I mentor an Arab kid, he doesn't know how to use the past tense in English. But we speak and communicate with each other fine. I don't know, I think he's right on the fence between speaking and not speaking. B1 maybe. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/03/24 03:22 AM |
| 1 | When dating, why do people claim to speak a foreign language?That's not the error I was referring to. Much more basic one. Again this is literally higher expectations of natives themselves Not sure what you mean with that. No, once again, I have fairly reasonable standards. My father forgot the word for socks the other day - still fine with saying he speaks English. But the cashier at the bodega down the street who doesn't know how to form a sentence and points and says one or two words at a time? He doesn't speak it, sorry. We can still communicate, he s… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/03/24 03:20 AM |
| 0 | When dating, why do people claim to speak a foreign language?Yeah, I really don't have very high expectations but... estoy no perfecto? I don't have high standards. My parents are immigrants and their English is pretty shit - my dad's barely B1. And my Spanish is pretty meh myself. But estoy no perfecto? Ehhh | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/03/24 03:08 AM |
| -1 | When dating, why do people claim to speak a foreign language?Yes, but when he delivered that speech, he wouldn't have made extremely basic grammar mistakes. Writing is definitely a skill that needs to be learned. Syntax and word choice and organization and all that. You can be unable to spell or use text abbreviations, or you might not know how to compose a proper letter - no problem. But writing something like "hungry me no" instead of "I'm not hungry" - that's just indicative of not knowing basic grammar. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/03/24 03:04 AM |
| 4 | When dating, why do people claim to speak a foreign language?I agree that a lot of people way overestimate their abilities. But to be fair, there's never been a consensus on what level defines "speaking" the language. It's certainly not a C2 certification or that level. I'm a language learning nerd, and personally a B2 is good enough to say you speak it, but even that's pretty far from good. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/03/24 02:55 AM |
| 2 | When dating, why do people claim to speak a foreign language?Dude, it's pretty bad. It's a stretch to say you speak Spanish | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/03/24 02:48 AM |
| 1 | I am thoroughly confused by the current sexual landscape.Yes, the average age is getting later (in America, which doesn't account for the other 95% of the world). Good data! But there's still quite a jump to "Marriage is dead. We live in the age of the harem." You're missing about ten steps here. Correct, conventional wisdom matters. But this isn't conventional wisdom. This is a new hypothesis. You are putting out an untested conjecture, and most important, it is against the grain. That's why you need higher standards for yourself. Don't be afraid to … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/01/24 03:29 AM |
| 1 | I am thoroughly confused by the current sexual landscape.Cool, so that set of women who are off the market could be huge, or could be tiny, right? Not sure if most dating occurs on dating apps. Don't know though, can't prove it. doesn't mean it doesn't exist Sure. Doesn't mean the rest of us should believe it, though, right? And that would just mean my anecdotal experience and those people I know is just as valid as yours, right? You can believe this hypothesis, in Islam, in the deep state, in the mafia asassinating Kennedy, or whatever. And you may b… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/01/24 11:55 PM |
| 10 | I'm failing to see how the idea of AF/BB and the 80/20 rule aren't realGot it. So if you want us to change your mind, what type of evidence would you need? Would my experience and peopIe I know in real life matter? | /r/ExRedPill | 13/01/24 10:58 PM |
| 12 | I'm failing to see how the idea of AF/BB and the 80/20 rule aren't realDid... we limit this to the West...? Reading your post, not seeing that. Any other parameters we should know about? | /r/ExRedPill | 13/01/24 10:55 PM |
| 13 | I'm failing to see how the idea of AF/BB and the 80/20 rule aren't realYeah I always figured that if this were true, everybody's father is a beta and every mother is cheating with an alpha, but no alpha ever has children. | /r/ExRedPill | 13/01/24 10:47 PM |
| 15 | I'm failing to see how the idea of AF/BB and the 80/20 rule aren't realOnly in certain countries. In probably the majority of the world, this is untrue. | /r/ExRedPill | 13/01/24 10:37 PM |
| 5 | I'm failing to see how the idea of AF/BB and the 80/20 rule aren't realNo matter what, at the end of the day it's a hypothesis. Not the truth, just a hypothesis. So think about ways to test this hypothesis. Think of all the men and women you know, from family members to coworkers, and find out if they really conform to this hypothesis. The key is not to make conclusions just based on conjecture. | /r/ExRedPill | 13/01/24 10:34 PM |
| 4 | If one group is more desperate than the other in a deal, that increases the chance of injustice happening to the desperate member of the deal.Answer what? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/01/24 07:42 PM |
| 1 | I am thoroughly confused by the current sexual landscape.Okay, then if that were "self-evidently true" (another way of saying anecdotally), then the size of the two groups is in contention, right? If the ratio were 95/5, then nobody cares, if it's 5/95 it's societal collapse stuff. On top of that, there will be women in the second group who didn't sleep around for a full decade, right? So we have to find the ratio of that. But obviously there's no way you or I can tell, without rigorous statistical analysis, what that percentage is. Just anecdotal evi… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/01/24 04:22 PM |
| 1 | I am thoroughly confused by the current sexual landscape.The end result is quite different, in that older harems involved a rich man financially taking care of all the needs of the women. Also, the classic harem that we imagine, of the Ottoman variety, is very different from porn fantasies. There was the "Sultanate of Women" for a reason, and the dominant woman in said harem was the Queen Mother. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/01/24 10:49 AM |
| 0 | I am thoroughly confused by the current sexual landscape.I think this would need some sort of detailed statistics to back it up, and certainly not just from online dating. I guess it might be true, but it just doesn't ring true in real life. Anecdotally sure, but actually walking down the street and looking at every woman, I highly doubt it. Think about all the women you know in real life, from family to coworkers to friends to the cashier ar the 7/11. You really think they're all casually dating for a decade? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/01/24 10:44 AM |
| 1 | Not many women seek casual sex, but it takes just each of them having a on-and-off with the top % men for 20/80 rule to work.Coming as a business analyst - this going to definitely need a good deal of numbers to back it up. I wouldn't make any decisions based on something this important on just speculation. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/04/23 04:44 PM |
| 2 | What’s the most disheartening thing you’ve seen in your local dating marketMost developing countries don't have to deal with war, especially not general war. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/12/22 07:43 PM |
