| 9 | Fellas, is it discriminatory for women to experience attraction? DiscussPeople are probably forgetting that it wasn't that long ago when women were complaining about models and magazines showing unrealistic beauty standards. Now that the tables have turned, they're acting like it's no big deal. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/07/26 01:53 AM |
| 5 | Fellas, is it discriminatory for women to experience attraction? DiscussMen's attraction and women's attraction is built very differently. The traits a man is attracted to are more like things they would like to have. For women, it's things they have to have. This is why so many men see it as unfair. That they're being locked out of the dating game for just one of two basic traits that they don't have any real control over. While women can have all sorts of unattractive or less attractive traits, and it doesn't make much of a difference. I'm not going to sugar coat … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/07/26 01:45 AM |
| 2 | The market isn’t that bad. It’s something else happening.Before social media, social connections were precious. You knew 20 odd people closely. Unless you put in a lot of effort to move social circles, you didn't have a lot of bridges to burn. You would build connections to different people of different walks of life, because you didn't have other options. Now days, connections are cheap. Anyone of decent popularity and attractiveness, can mess up as many relationships as they like, then find more people out of a pool of thousands. Each person isn't a… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/07/26 11:36 PM |
| 1 | The market isn’t that bad. It’s something else happening.Thats pretty much how social media has always been. It was originally pitched as a way to bring people together. But it quickly became a platform for popular and attractive people to show off. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/07/26 11:25 PM |
| 6 | If women put more effort into their apps, maybe theyd see more success too.I knew a woman who had a personality as deep as a puddle. Constantly looking for men, but never able to settle down with one. She was dumb, she was loud, and all she really wanted was a hot popular guy to give her attention. One day, I happened across her dating profile on an app. It was like 6 or 7 pictures, and not a single word filled out. And that made me realise that she would find exactly the guy she was looking for. A blank slate, who didn't care about a single thing about her personality… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/07/26 10:05 AM |
| 57 | The idea that most men who struggle in the modern sexual marketplace are socially inept is a blue pill caricatureIt's pretty much a given that stupity and confidence is directly correlated. A smart person will stop and think before they talk. They'll correct themselves if they do or say something wrong. They worry about stuff, because they can think about doing right and wrong. They self reflect, and self reflection leads to self doubt rather than self confidence. A dumb person doesn't stop and think. They just do. Their words flow freely, because they don't think about what they're saying. The content of … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/07/26 09:56 AM |
| 2 | Most men here don't just have dating problem, they're severely under-socialized in general.I personally know someone well-intentioned who is in his late 30s trying to socialize and be included in already formed social circles, and people are very reluctant to include him. He is not really a bad person, maybe slightly neurodivergent but I can see how people talk about him when he is not around and it doesn't look good. Dang, that's really brutal. In my experience as an autistic guy, you get treated okay by fellow adults. Until you try to assert yourself, and try to make yourself includ… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/06/26 01:11 AM |
| 11 | "Personality" and "social skills" are just attempts to moralizing dating and make lonely men feel badHere's the hard truth I've learnt as an autistic guy. Raw social skills are about 30% of the way there. The other 30% is about the energy you give off. Then the last 40% is about your superficial traits, like wealth, status, attractiveness. And, you basically need at least a passing grade of all of them, to get anywhere with anyone. Man or women. If your social skills are bad, like you sperg out on weird stuff, butt into conversations, or can't read the room, then people will think you're weird,… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/06/26 12:18 PM |
| 1 | What’s the most controversial negative opinion you have about your own gender?I was gonna say something similar. Men can be really shitty and competitive to each other. Even guys that are usually meak, shy, and polite can turn into macho assholes the moment they think it will get them a whiff of pussy. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/06/26 12:46 AM |
| 1 | Social media represents how people feel insindeThere are definitely tonnes of bots online. But I wouldn't lean on that to dismiss anyone having a stupid opinion. There's a chance that whatever ragebait you see, is just pandering to comments of ten thousand bots pretending to agree. But there's also a chance that many people are that stupid, and social media gives stupid people a critical mass to feel comfortable openly expressing their stupidity. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 31/05/26 03:53 AM |
| 1 | When men and women say they have “no options” it means two completely different thingsWhat you're describing does happen. When I was on apps, I got many ugly matches appear in my inbox. And I mean ugly. Not someone that could stand to lose a few pounds. Or even just someone obese. Like so unfortunately genetically disadvantaged. But, yeah, a woman that's unattractive, but not that unattractive, doesn't make much of a difference. You have to go down like 5 points of attractiveness before you find someone who'll be as easy as a guy is for a girl. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/05/26 11:23 PM |
| 10 | Why do (some!!) men that sex robots/robot gfs will be a legitimate replacement for real romantic relationships with a human women?I mean, sure? Technology does usually have ethical concerns. But you've been watching too much Black Mirror if you think everyone who uses technology is a villain. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/05/26 01:39 AM |
| 6 | Why do (some!!) men that sex robots/robot gfs will be a legitimate replacement for real romantic relationships with a human women?I suspect they're thinking of something like a M3gan style humanoid, but obviously robot. If it were something like a Westworld style robot, that was indistinguishable from the real thing. If the latter, not only would it probably not be embarrassing to have one, but every other guy would be curious about trying it out. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/05/26 12:19 AM |
| 7 | Why do (some!!) men that sex robots/robot gfs will be a legitimate replacement for real romantic relationships with a human women?Lol, robot gfs would make a huge difference in that. I don't know how you'd think otherwise. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/05/26 12:02 AM |
| 12 | Why do (some!!) men that sex robots/robot gfs will be a legitimate replacement for real romantic relationships with a human women?I've known at least a few personality disordered women who have said that they can be as bitchy as they want, and men will have to put up with it if they want sex. Those women will be unhappy if they have an actual incentive to work on their personality. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/05/26 11:50 PM |
| 5 | Do you think women's aversion of helping men in the dating/sexual context is biological or societal?It's such a weird thing that I see on this sub all the time. Guys make a post titled with something that sounds like a legitimate complaint. Then the body text is some weirdly non-sequitir hypothetical, that can only happen in the depths of their imagination. It's a shame, because I do believe women are resistant to giving romantic advice and help to men, and that there are psychological barriers that explain this. But instead OP made a thread complaining that women won't fuck a guy on a charita… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/04/26 01:49 AM |
| 12 | What do you feel like hinders you most in dating?Personally, it's the logistics of adulthood. Freedom brings loneliness when suddenly you're no longer surrounded by hundreds or thousands of single people your age every day in high school and college, and every adult has different schedules. I feel like at some point in life, most people just close the door to meeting new people. When you're in school or college, everyone is looking to make friends and partners. You can make friends without really trying, or even without being all that socially… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/04/26 04:56 AM |
| 2 | Men don’t care about MenMost social revolutions come from men wanting elevate the whole class that they're a part of. Whether it's campaign for men of colour, the working class, communism, ect. This was able to happen because there were enough in that class, to create a critical mass, able to force social change. The reason this doesn't happen today, is that most of the world is a sizable middle class. People that are economically okay, socially okay, or romantically okay. Because they're doing okay, but not great, the… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/04/26 05:38 AM |
| 11 | Men don’t care about MenOf course not. Men are competitive, not cooperative. Men want struggles that effect other men, but not them. Anything that elevates them above other men. That's why men's rights will never take off as a movement. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/04/26 04:31 AM |
| 2 | Men on dating websites shouldn't have the option to swipe on or like profilesI don't know how many apps adopt this feature, but Bumble gave a limited amount of free swipes a day. As best as I could tell, it was randomised between 3 and 10. If you swiped on every profile, you would run out way too quickly. So you take the time to look at a profile, and decide if you're compatible, and if you think there's a chance in hell they'll swipe on you. Even if that wasn't a thing, maybe I want to be selective, whether I could or could not afford to be. I don't want to have to ghos… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/04/26 04:14 AM |
| 1 | More men struggle with women because more men are boringI laughed when I read "rich inner universe's" from OP. Have they ever spoken to a geek about any of their geeky obsessions? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/04/26 04:27 AM |
| 1 | More men struggle with women because more men are boringThese guys called boring do plenty of things they find fun. But things you find fun don't count, unless they involve lots of friends, cost a lot of money, or demonstrate social status. That's what "boring" means for men. It means low status. Plenty of women like doing these so called boring things. Playing games, binging series, listening to music. They just don't talk about it, because they don't want to build connections based on these "rich internal universes". They want to build connections … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/04/26 04:24 AM |
| 1 | Why do so many women avoid dating inside a communities?You have to realise that most people are just generally looking for excuses not to mingle, date, or socialise. Whether it's because they're too busy, they don't want to deal with the repercussions if things go south, or even if they just don't like the obligations of being close to someone. It's just another way to avoid all the little anxieties, that they have become too avoidant to deal with. Whenever someone really attractive comes along, suddenly they forget about the rule of not dating with… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/03/26 11:37 PM |
| 4 | Never settle” has slowly morphed into “never compromiseIt's pretty easy not to compromise when you're inundated with options. They don't even have to actually date those options. As long as they have thousands of guys in their matches, they can say "Surely one of these thousand guys will meet my standards." | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/03/26 10:38 PM |
| 2 | Do you find maintaining interpersonal relationships to be easy? Hard? Necessary? Unimportant?It's fairly easy to maintain relationships when you have something keeping you in proximity to someone. Work, class, living nearby ect. But as soon as the convenience goes, the relationship goes. The attempts to catch up become less frequent. Solid plans become "Yeah, we definitely have to catch up some time." Then before you know it, it's been a year since you've seen each other and you realise they're no longer a part of your life. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/03/26 07:13 AM |
| 3 | CMV: “Join Hobbies” and “Expand Your Social Circle” Are very low-ROI Dating Strategies for Most Average MenYou'd think having hobbies helps makes it easier to have a good conversation. And it certainly helps more than sitting at home playing games and binging series. But most of the popular guys I've known didn't have hobbies, or talk about hobbies. They just worked and drank. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/02/26 11:28 PM |
| 1 | The "Emotional Labor" Argument Is Wildly overplayed by women.The term "emotional labour" was used to justify why women get so unreasonably angry and stressed over the smallest amount of housework not being done. I remember the article where a wife said she had to put wrapping paper back on the shelf, and inflated it as the most back breakingly difficult task. It's a highly subjective measure of labour, when there's no reasonable way to describe what you're doing as actually labourous. A way to justify your emotional reasoning, from an emotional need to ke… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/02/26 11:53 PM |
| 1 | What’s keeping the red pill alive?What’s funny is that I can understand the mindset behind many “bad” or extreme groups. I can understand, at least to some degree, how someone becomes a neo-Nazi, an Islamist, a radical leftist, or whatever else. You can usually trace it back to resentment, insecurity, fear, ideology, social pressure, or personal experiences. There’s a logic behind it, even if it’s destructive. There was a Cracked.com article back when that site was around, and about the time it took a downturn towards its death.… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/02/26 01:43 AM |
| 2 | I disagree with "there is someone out there for everybody"I mean, social media has changed a lot about what people consider normal and average. But that said, I agree that most of these guys aren't horribly undateable. It's just that it's so much harder to mingle and socialise with new people than it used to be. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/02/26 01:30 AM |
| -1 | I disagree with "there is someone out there for everybody"I argue every man has their match out there somewhere. It's just that so many struggling guys are introverted, and men are far more likely to be introverted. So your extroverted man can probably find a fairly even mix of men and women in his social circle. But, the introverted man is competing for the other woman in like a 5 to 1 ratio. And that's being generous. My STEM course was like 200 guys to 5 girls. That's assuming that guy even can meet women. Introverted social circles are pretty restr… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/02/26 01:25 AM |
| 2 | What would you change about online dating?Most of the money apps make come from subscribers. You would have to use an app continuously for years before they made the same amount of money from you as a single week's subscription. But you're not far off. Only the goal isn't to keep people alone and using apps endlessly. The perfect app (for the developer) would give users a trickle of poor options that don't go anywhere. Just enough to make them think that subscribing would push them over the edge into finding love/sex/whatever they're af… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/01/26 08:04 AM |
| 2 | Do you think male dominated hobbies and spaces should stay male dominated?I have no issue with women joining my hobbies. I don't have any concerns about women joining this hobbies and brigading until everything changes to cater to their needs. That doesn't happen. But I'd also expect to have some groups that are men only. Not by hanging a "No girls allowed" sign in front. Just by having hangouts where you only invite the dudes. Guys are way more relaxed when girls aren't present. When they're not worried about being attractive. The problem is that time for socialising… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/01/26 11:48 PM |
| 1 | how many dating problems (specially for men) would dissapear if the economy was great or at least decent enought?It's hard to say, because it's so different to the life we have now. On one hand, we have more than we have before in material wealth. But we're also way poorer in time and mental health. The cost of living is way too high, and I'm certain women still look for someone to support them when considering a partner. If we had more time, less stress, more disposable income, things would be easier in general. Now the question is, would that make dating easier in general? For some, yes. If your problem … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/01/26 06:55 AM |

Would you expect women to come here and say "Yeah I totally hate awkward meek guys, and love tall chiselled Chads"? Of course not, no one's going to want to validate a group that's very openly hostile to them. Everything said here, is going to try to make women look good. But, you also can't trust the opposite statements, in places like TikTok or locker room talk. In those places, the loudest and most controversial claims will … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/01/26 08:24 AM |
| 1 | Most people's dating advice to men is useless, ESPECIALLY advice given by womenFirst of all, it's not exactly easy to give advice to random internet strangers. Even assuming they want to give that advice. I certainly want to give that advice. But I don't know you, your circumstances, and what's actually causing you to fail. So all advice you give, would be somewhat generic. But that said, I would be able to give some good advice, even if it's generic. I am certain that most advice from women isn't made in a good faith "I don't know if it will help you specifically, but it … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/01/26 11:41 PM |
| 2 | Why aren't red pill men actually adapting anymore?It's fairly easy to get burnt out from trying, and not seeing results. Hit the gym, go to classes, take up hobbies, volunteer, dress nice. Whatever your advice is, a lot of people have tried it. And it didn't work. Not as in, they didn't immediately get swarmed with women. As in no real progress what so over. No new friends, no seeing anyone outside the classes, no getting on a first name basis with anyone. You walk away from the class or whatever without a single social thing to show for it. So… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/01/26 02:58 AM |
| 4 | Why do men think there are so many good menIt's not so much that these traits are too selective. Although I'm sure OP has way higher standards than they're communicating. Rather they're deliberately vague. In fact, I would say she deliberately listed traits that could apply to the vast majority of the population, like the reading of a horoscope. But she can weigh those vague traits however she likes, to justify whatever decision she has made. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/12/25 09:09 AM |
| 3 | Why do men think there are so many good menNot all women, women aren't a monolith, outliers ect. At the very least, you'd have to admit that the numbers aren't on the side of Moses from IT. He might rely on luck to find one woman in his circle that finds him attractive. Whereas the more normal and decently popular guy can guarantee he'll counter a handful of options on a regular basis. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/12/25 08:55 AM |
| 1 | Why do men think there are so many good menI think a good deal of single men consider themselves good men. At least, good enough. I will even go as far as saying that most women would describe them as good men, if asked. Does that mean there are lots of good men? Not necessarily, they might still be the minority. But what it does mean that good men exist, they are single, therefore there are good men available for the women who complain that there are no good men. But of course, it's not that simple. I'm not going to say that being a goo… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/12/25 08:46 AM |
| 0 | Men are more violent than women, not more abusive.I would say it's pretty uncontroversial that you need a decent amount of public support and consensus in order to make change. And these sorts of posts are part of that. Both to publicise information on the sorts of support you will get, and the sorts of resistance you get to these issues. The fact that so many women seem emotionally charged to deny these issues tells us a lot. As to what to do about it once there is some decent consensus, the next step would be to discuss what to do. I would li… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/12/25 11:41 PM |
| 2 | Do you believe women have higher income standards now?With today's cost of living, you need two full time earners to have ends meet. It used to be that a woman needed a man to support her, while she didn't earn, or earned little. Now a woman still needs a man to support her (and visa versa) while they both earn full wages. Ug, how did we all let it get like this? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/12/25 03:07 AM |
| 6 | Thoughts for men who stay mad at womenPeople get mad when they perceive that there is some injustice or unfairness against them, and this injustice is the source of their misfortune. This isn't entirely controversial alone. Although the ideas born from it are. If women didn't think men were deliberately devaluing them, and withholding things from them, we wouldn't have feminism. If men didn't think women were deliberately devaluing and withholding things from them, we wouldn't have the manosphere.

| 2 | What's the logic behind telling men to be more selective on dating apps?Yeah, that's why I gave up on apps. I had some decent results at times. But I got so fed up with getting a trickle of matches, and then matches not responding after a message or two. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/12/25 02:25 AM |
| 1 | What's the logic behind telling men to be more selective on dating apps?Which I get. But then, what do apps do to fix that? It's either your single while beating your head against the wall and being constantly reminded of your undesirability. Or, you're single while saving your effort for more productive things. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/12/25 02:21 AM |
| 1 | What's the logic behind telling men to be more selective on dating apps?Yes, yes they are. And that is why most guys should get off apps. I can only assume they're just so desperate, they're willing to tolerate all this disappointing frustration for the slight chance at a bit of tail. Or they're some kind of masochists that enjoy the disappointment. Or they want to flood the market as a way of passive aggressively attacking the system that harmed them. Either way, if they have no business being on the apps, they should get off them. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/12/25 02:14 AM |
| 2 | What's the logic behind telling men to be more selective on dating apps?You shouldn't underestimate how few matches most guys get on apps. Women can think prioritising compatibility is important, because they would be wasting time on dozens of profiles if they did not. An average guy might have one or two matches a day to filter through. That's not much time wasted. That said, by swiping on everyone you are just setting yourself up for disappointment. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/12/25 09:32 AM |
| -1 | Why are Red Pillers so obsessed with status?This I don't buy. It's not fair to tell the disadvantaged party that they should just be okay being disadvantaged. Rather than working to understand and fix the broken system. If we can ask men to be okay with suppressing their desires for sex and companionship, can we also tell women to suppress their desire to restrict giving those things? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/12/25 10:06 PM |
| 7 | Modern society won’t admit that dating is harder for the average man than average woman, because it pushes a narrative that men don’t experience disadvantages, or women have privileges.Yep, this pretty much it. It's not really validating your experiences, when you add caveats at the end to imply your experiences really aren't that bad. To be fair, men do similar things regarding women's issues. And I totally get why. It's frustrating to be on the losing end of asymmetric acknowledgement of your issues. Only with men, it's more that they feel none of their issues are acknowledged fairly. With women, they feel like no amount of acknowledgement is sufficient. I will go as far as … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/12/25 03:23 AM |

| 6 | "Women are happier single compared to men" is a case of extremely dishonest framingI'm sure very few, if any, so called forever alone women actually have experiences that match a forever alone man. The whole idea of "women handle it better" is comparing real men, to the idea of a hypothetical woman. I'm not going to assume they're all just pining after Chad. Although some are. But I'm sure near all of them have...something. Some opportunities, some validation, some hope that they will get something in some not too distant future. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/12/25 12:39 AM |
| 1 | "Women are happier single compared to men" is a case of extremely dishonest framingI doubt there's a point where you're not satisfied, but it does make it a lot easier. I was very unhappy and depressed before I had a few flings and hook ups. But even though I've been single for years, it's way easier having that to look back on. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/12/25 12:07 AM |
| – | Are looks the deciding factor in how much effort a man puts into a woman? If not, what is?If I'm not putting an effort into a woman, it's because I'm not attracted to her. Period. In which case, it would be a non-issue, because I wouldn't be dating her at all. But if I'm attracted enough to want to be with her, then I will put in effort. But that's pretty much the line. There's no correlated graph of attractiveness to effort. It's just a binary attracted = effort, no attraction = no effort. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/12/25 12:03 AM |

Most likely, it will follow similar trends. Politics becomes more divided. Young men vote more conservative. They feel conservative ideologies are more beneficial to them. They're less concerned with issues in the greater good, because they don't want to support a society that they're not allowed to be a part of. Echo chambers become more intense, on all sides.

| 1 | Social circles is a "don't shit where you eat" scenarioThe issue is that people don't like socialising or forming bonds with people in general. It's risky, it takes effort, people just can't be bothered, even small amounts of drama is undesirable. So they make excuses for not doing so. "Don't shit where you eat", "I don't make friends at work". "I don't date co-workers". But then when someone comes along that gets through those barriers, all those rules go out the window.

| 1 | More men aren't single because they have "bad personalities"This is pretty much it. Most of the guys I know that are perpetually single, don't have bad personalities. They're just sort of socially stagnant. They know a handful of women. Of which a small subset of them are single, maybe two or three. And there isn't mutual attraction with them. Their social circle doesn't mingle or expand, they can't approach at bars or what not, and they don't get matches on apps. Do they just leave it at that. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/11/25 12:30 AM |

| 1 | The single solution for women’s dating problems is being more active and asking men out.That's actually a pretty good point. You can choose a large number of different employers, and they're mostly assumed to be temporary. But you can only choose one partner at a time, so making that choice much more important.

True, but it's not how the market works. Why bother looking for a man when men line up to present themselves to you. Maybe you get good enough men, maybe you don't. But you get to pick from so many, that surely some of them must be good, right?

On the occasion that someone gives me advice on dating, it's always to try some app. Which I'm getting is saying that you don't want to mix your dating life with your social circle.

| 1 | It's very rich that women expect guys to make the first move at all times yet they should be under no obligation.Yeah, this is a huge problem. It's so much easier to approach if you get actual opportunities to talk, get to know each other, get assistance from other friends. But everyone is so isolated that so many guys are forced into either cold approaching or nothing. Like what happened to people just throwing a bbq, or party, or whatever, and just inviting everyone they know to mingle? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/07/25 03:00 AM |
| 1 | It's very rich that women expect guys to make the first move at all times yet they should be under no obligation.I'm pretty sure women know when a man is scared, has poor social skills, awkward ect. Before that guy does or doesn't approach. Most women give off signals to guys they want to approach them. Guys who are already unattractive aren't getting those signals, and aren't approaching, and she doesn't want them to. I imagine giving those signals, and not having them reciprocated would be pretty annoying, maybe even insulting. I've heard it said that if a woman gives off a signal, and the guy won't appr… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/07/25 02:17 AM |
| 8 | (Some**) Women have a hard time understanding analogiesAnalogies, hypotheticals, thought experiments. If someone doesn't want to get the point, they will find ways around them. It doesn't matter if they're women or not. Analogies and hypotheticals sound like a good rhetorical strategy in a debate. The idea is to take something with the same logic, but in a different scenario. Ideally, a scenario that's more obvious and less controversial. The idea being that your opponent will find the argument more agreeable if it's not applied to the controversial… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/07/25 12:10 AM |

| 2 | Men shouldn’t be blamed for not having good social skills and outlets when a society like ours isn’t built to value them.Once I heard someone say that they feel it's easier, and even nicer, to agree to a plan, and then back out at the last minute. Which sounds wild, because, like you said, it's so easy to just say no. Even if you just say you're busy. And it's super not nice to just flake on something you agreed to. But it makes sense with some twisted logic. If you say no right away, you give them the opportunity to reschedule. Now they've got to come up with even more excuses. But if they say yes, and back out, … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/06/25 04:46 AM |
| 3 | Men shouldn’t be blamed for not having good social skills and outlets when a society like ours isn’t built to value them.The issue with flaking is it has become socially acceptable, to the point where it would be considered rude to react how you should. You should be able to tell them "What the fuck guys? I planned this thing, I set my weekend aside, you all said yes. Next time you organise it, and I won't show. Shitheads." But instead you've gotta politely accept it, and tell them it's okay. This politeness has trained everyone that it's okay to do that. The problem with making friends is it's gotta be a team eff… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/06/25 07:20 AM |
| 14 | Men shouldn’t be blamed for not having good social skills and outlets when a society like ours isn’t built to value them.In general, in the western world, adult men are very resistant to making friends. For reasons I just don't get, men don't want to make friends at work. Even guys you really get along with, there's a barrier between making actual friends. Like you talk, you laugh, you have things in common. But you will never get them to do anything outside of work or work related functions. I don't see this in women. Women make close friends all the time, even when they've only known each other for a short time.… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/06/25 01:58 AM |
| 2 | The Male loneliness epidemic is created by design by the elites (Men) to get men ready for war and take all the women for themselvesThis isn't a conspiracy. Very little, if anything, is caused by a conspiracy. In this case it's just the elites wanting money, which means working more, and making things more expensive. Which means people spend less time and money to do things. There are other issues as well, like the psychological effects of social media, consuming too much digital entertainment, and parasocial relationships. The elites have a hand in this. But again, it's not a conspiracy to keep everyone lonely. It's just th… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/06/25 09:13 PM |
| 5 | The resentment for women will grow drastically in years to comePeople want to be radicalised. It's how it happens in the first place. They get angry for whatever reason, then someone gives them an outlet for their anger. A feeling that they're at least fighting for something, rather than sitting and wallowing in pity. It's like telling an addict to just put down the crack pipe. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/05/25 02:32 AM |
| -1 | The resentment for women will grow drastically in years to comeYeah...The "natural biology" was women being treated like a resource, like property. Taken and enslaved, bought and sold, gifted, rented, traded for political favour. Returning to nature ain't exactly a great argument for women's rights. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/05/25 02:27 AM |
| 5 | The loneliness of autismI have diagnosed autism. I was pretty weird and nervous as a child and teenager. Over the years, I've improved my social skills a lot. But no matter how good I get at socialising, that barrier never goes away. I feel like it's gotten worse over the years. As a young adult, I could be pretty weird and still make some friends. Now, I can be as close to normal as I can be, and making friends is really hard. Dating is even harder. Like the standards for time and commitment are just way higher. I say… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/04/25 02:03 AM |
| 1 | What's stopping society from going back to an era where people prioritized meeting in person and took a more diligent effort to get to really get to know someone through long term relationship oriented values?It's hard to put a genie back in the bottle. You could straight up delete all social media and online dating from the world. If you did, there would be a long time, possibly years, where people just wouldn't socialise. They would be too used to the convenient and low risk way of socialising. Socialising in public would remain taboo. Then, over time, people's friendships would dwindle. Loneliness would become the norm. Then, people would start breaking down those barriers to real life socialising… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/04/25 01:50 AM |
| 8 | Post-Scarcity should come to the Sexual Marketplace.These things do still happen, in many places. The most obvious factor is economics, far more than anything else. To put it bluntly, people will do anything to make money if it's their only option. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/04/25 01:11 AM |

| 3 | Q4M: What do you think about the pushback against "Not all men"?The first question I'd ask is what she believes men actually do to support rape culture ect. Then, I'd ask what she thinks men do, that women don't do. Then, I'd reverse the questions. What would a man have to do to not support these things? What does a woman do to not support these things? There's an argument to be made that all of us that are part of a society are in some way responsible for all of society's ills. But I'm guessing this isn't what she's saying. I don't think she thinks there's … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/04/25 07:31 AM |
| 3 | Women use therapy to avoid personal accountability / responsibilityThere is way too much with cluster B personality disorders to explain it in the single comment. I suggest looking at the subreddits for partners and children of people with these disorders. Look up terms like DARVO, and gaslighting for specifics on how they don't take accountability. It's not that people need more shame and guilt. It's that shame and guilt is a natural part of being accountable for something. If you do something wrong, you're supposed to feel bad. Then that bad feeling makes you… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/03/25 10:22 PM |
| 12 | Women use therapy to avoid personal accountability / responsibilityI'm getting that you're defensive about this. Are you cluster B by chance? I'm not sure what you're asking. You're asking how to read a person's emotions and actions? I think you're missing something. What I wrote was about cluster Bs and general assholes in therapy. Not everyone who goes to therapy. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/03/25 09:38 AM |
| 6 | Women use therapy to avoid personal accountability / responsibilityIt might be in academic literature. I don't know, I've never looked. Taking accountability is pretty straightforward. Admit you did something wrong, accept an appropriate amount of guilt and shame for doing such thing, make proper effort not to do it again. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/03/25 08:56 AM |
| 15 | Women use therapy to avoid personal accountability / responsibilityThis is one such example: https://shrink4men.com/2020/07/03/couples-therapy-with-narcissists-and-borderlines/ More often than not, these kinds of things are with couples therapy. In their minds, they don't need it, their partner needs it, and they are going to therapy to get a professional opinion that everything is their partner's fault. Also known is using therapy as a way to lure in the estranged child or ex partner. Saying they're going to therapy to make the outward appearance that they're … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/03/25 08:31 AM |
| 72 | Women use therapy to avoid personal accountability / responsibilityThis problem is in no way unique to women. It is unique to personality disordered individuals, or just general assholes. This is a commonly documented thing among cluster B personality types. That being sociopaths, narcissists, borderlines, and histrionics. They go to therapy because they're sad about something. They spend their time blaming their spouse, children, friends, whatever. After a few sessions, the therapist sees something is wrong. The therapist can see the individual is the problem.… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/03/25 11:19 PM |

| 1 | Hypergamy/women's nature falsely seen as the problem with online datingLike every other business, the purpose of dating apps is to make money. To make money, they have to sell a product. That product is women. It doesn't matter how well designed the app is, or how well it achieves its advertised purpose, men will go wherever the women are. Apps adopted the swipe model, because that's what women want in an app. Apps tried using numbers and data to match the perfect couples. But data analysis revealed what's obvious now: The only numbers that made a difference are he… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/02/25 10:43 PM |
| 18 | Women can seem unapproachable these days hence why we don’t do it.I'm going to say very directly, for a lot of guys there simply aren't other options. Simply put, the modern world is not very social, like it should be. A lot of guys might have a small circle of friends they knew from school, or a small circle of work friends. But they don't have options to mingle with different groups. They don't get introduced to new people. They might be part of a group with maybe half a dozen girls, and twice as many guys. If they don't have the chemistry with those girls, … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/02/25 02:00 AM |
| 0 | The male loneliness epidemic is worse than you think.Money and time making it difficult to regularly commit. Worries about meeting new people. Worries that the effort will be for nothing.

| 2 | The male loneliness epidemic is worse than you think.This is a gender issues sub, so pretty much every issue is framed as "men vs women". Realistically, this issue is more "lonely people vs popular people". The answer to your question, is most men don't have this problem, and don't see a need to fix it for those that do. Getting lonely and lost guys together would probably be a solution. But if you tried that, you would get a mix of all their anxieties making bonding difficult. If there was a gender neutral place to talk about these issues, we'd p… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/01/25 01:25 AM |
| 6 | Why is it that every time someone suggests men raise their standards or communicate their desires early to avoid relationship pitfalls, there’s always pushback? Instead of taking the advice, it seems like there’s an endless list of excuses not to do it.It's not about desperation or anything. It's about completely killing the vibe. If you say "Great, I'll see you at this coffee date at this time. Oh, and I expect sex by the third date, and we're splitting the bill." Yeah, that just sounds so weird and unattractive. It would be no different for a woman to sit down at a coffee date and tell you she expects marriage and children within 2 years. Open to that or not, there's a time and a place to bring that up, and on the first date ain't it. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/12/24 01:31 AM |
| 5 | How often would you say you meet friends of friends?It happens, but it's rare. It's interesting how everyone in these comments says it either happens all the time, or it never happens. I get the impression that it's very region and culture dependent. Like some people see building too many friendships as a risk, and like to keep their friend groups tightly curated. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/12/24 04:22 AM |
| 2 | Why do so many women preach the importance of clear communication around sex then refuse to clearly communicate?In order to work, communication requires two things: Forgiveness, and a burden of responsibility. You need to forgive the other person for doing something wrong, on the basis that they didn't know they were doing something wrong. Then you need to accept responsibility yourself, for explaining what is right. If someone won't communicate, it's usually because they don't want to take that responsibility, and give that forgiveness. They know that they're going to be unhappy, and they want someone to… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/11/24 11:47 PM |
| 1 | Why does therapy fail men on a large scale and what alternatives are there?When someone tells a man to go therapy, what they really mean is "go find someone else to fix your problems, because I don't want to". Most men have practical problems. And most of those problems are caused, and thus solved, by the other people around you. Talking to a medical professional in private about it isn't going to help. What a man wants is to be part of a community. To matter in that community. He wants everyone who he's around to check up on him, ask him how he's doing, offer sympathi… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/11/24 01:17 AM |
