| – | CMV: Men who are sexually aggressive and constantly “on the prowl” seem to be much more successful at dating than cautious menYes, male dating success is much more a numbers game than many want to admit. And for the men here: have you actually seen your dating results improve significantly simply by approaching more women and caring less about rejection? Absolutely back when I was dating. Or does this only work for men who were attractive enough to succeed anyway? It's a lot less about outward attraction and a lot more about inner attraction. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/08/26 11:41 PM |
| 1 | Hypergamy and Monkey Branching vs. Attraction LevelWhat am I supposed to do with this low effort comment? I can assume you're referring to the concept of "attraction level." This is your field right? Tell me how it is. Let's have a good faith debate. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/08/26 05:59 PM |
| 1 | Hypergamy and Monkey Branching vs. Attraction LevelI appreciate your reply. Yes those qualities would appear to be consciously sought after, what I'm saying is subconsciously the response is even more important than then conscious awareness. I like the Kindness trait, and I definitely think it holds quite a bit of weight in LTR's. I also agree with your "niceness" sentiment. The trickiest part for me at this point, is where exactly to cut off the trait descriptions, say having 8 vs. 12 vs. 16... . There's going to be some overlap. The key is if … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/08/26 03:46 PM |
| – | How can you not feel completely humiliated by the current state of dating?As kindly and gently as possible, what all have you tried to see if it works or not? Have you: Changed up your appearance? Altered how you approach them? Worked on being more charismatic, or more confident? Do you try different date venues? Are you aware of your emotional pacing? Have you read books on dating? Have you read well rated books on dating? I agree with the your general sentiment of men getting rejected more, but I can't buy into blaming it all on women. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/08/26 08:47 PM |
| 1 | Hypergamy and Monkey Branching vs. Attraction Level“There’s no monkey-branching if you’re her best option!” That's not what I said. What I said was "as long as her attraction level is high." When her attraction level is high you're the only option she wants. But how many men can be a “best option”? 1% 5%? Well, that depends. Are they growth minded? Coachable? Since the attraction pattern is largely predicable, and it's about feelings and perception anyway for them ... and especially since modern dating is so broken for many anyway... I'd say mos… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/08/26 07:45 PM |

| 1 | Hypergamy and Monkey Branching vs. Attraction LevelThat's a situation no one should have to be trapped in IMO. So sorry! I have a friend in this exact scenario and fully expect her to leave as soon as the kids are old enough, whatever age that might be. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/08/26 05:01 PM |

| 0 | Hypergamy and Monkey Branching vs. Attraction LevelOk awesome. I'm glad you're able to manage your feelings to your best benefit. So as another example. Women that are with guys that abuse them emotionally or physically, why do they stay with the guy in your opinion? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/08/26 03:47 PM |
| 1 | Hypergamy and Monkey Branching vs. Attraction LevelJust a few thoughts as I'm afraid we're not going to be able to understand one another, yet maybe others could benefit from reading. Sharing information new or otherwise in efforts to help people is not Dehumanizing. Super Humanizing refers to AI. What is de-humanizing is directly insulting others, which on the sub usually comes from the polar opposites of "blue" and "red." It's demonstrated constantly. Look through the comments on this post and observe how many people are considering other's be… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/08/26 03:40 PM |
| 1 | Hypergamy and Monkey Branching vs. Attraction LevelAt least we can agree on something and I'm happy for that. As a hypothetical, say there was a lack of understanding of what caused you to be attracted to certain men vs. others, would you want to know and understand that or no? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/08/26 03:16 PM |
| 0 | Hypergamy and Monkey Branching vs. Attraction LevelMeanwhile, men are the protagonists, Not my view. Men and women are complimentary. you get to criticize women for NOT seeing that bullshit. I'd rather them understand it as well, for their own health and well being sake. The human experience is basically defined by self-awareness. Says who? Why is us having a subconscious that compels us as humans "dehumanizing." It's a part of who we are. So when you assert that women lack self-awareness… what does that imply? I'm sure men lack self awareness i… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/08/26 12:23 AM |
| 1 | Hypergamy and Monkey Branching vs. Attraction LevelNo human makes decisions with no logic at all, I have to disagree. It is dehumanizing to pretend women make decisions based on animal instinct. IMO. We. Are. Animals. We're just the most "advanced" on earth. That doesn't mean we need to go "savage", or not have morals, but it also means we shouldn't forget where we come from. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/08/26 12:18 AM |
| 0 | Hypergamy and Monkey Branching vs. Attraction LevelTo answer your celebrity question, the most common attraction wreckers for LTR's are when a man either treats his partner too much like a roommate/lack of romance, or lacks self-control with issues ranging from jealousy, drinking/drugs, etc. There's a couple others but being a celebrity matters not. You're not going to want to hear this most likely, but it's us as men that are at fault, because it's us as men that drive their attraction and repulsion. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/08/26 12:14 AM |
| 1 | Hypergamy and Monkey Branching vs. Attraction LevelWe have logic and reason to override our ancient instincts. This is what I just said above. there is no reason a woman with a fully functioning brain would be making decisions based solely on those instincts. Why not? You don't think both men and women are largely compelled to action by our emotions? It is by dehumanizing a woman into “women” that you forget they are cognizant creatures with fully functioning reason. How is recognizing we have subconscious processes compelling us "dehumanizing"?… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/08/26 12:09 AM |
| 1 | Hypergamy and Monkey Branching vs. Attraction LevelTotally agree yes. And hey, at least people can agree on confidence being universally attractive so there's that. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/08/26 11:20 PM |
| 2 | Hypergamy and Monkey Branching vs. Attraction LevelFiancee cheated, then broke up with me several weeks later, then got into a relationship with same guy, then ended up married to him for many years. Second LTR broke up with me and was dating a friend of ours shortly after, so inconclusive I guess on this one. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/08/26 11:19 PM |
| 1 | Hypergamy and Monkey Branching vs. Attraction LevelIf all women are nesters, why do many of them not have kids? Conscious override of primitive processes. Just because we feel emotions or urges doesn't mean we need to act on them. Any time you think a fully functioning human woman is making a complex life decision because her ancient mammalian ancestors made nests is laughably naive. I think they're making very crude and simple decisions subconsciously, and then following suit or trying to rationalize consciously. The nesting part was just an an… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/08/26 11:15 PM |
| -1 | Hypergamy and Monkey Branching vs. Attraction LevelHow so on the more subtle and taking months or years? There's short term attraction (up to 2 months) and long term attraction (after 2 months). Short term is very volatile. Long term is not nearly as volatile. Most men have experienced the slow fade of interest in a long term relationship, which manifests as Indicators of Disinterest like more arguing, less intimacy, etc. While in the relationship, these things are more subtle, running under the surface. I guess I’m confused as to how what you’r… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/08/26 11:07 PM |
| 2 | Hypergamy and Monkey Branching vs. Attraction LevelI think this idea that women are just going for the next best option is ridiculous. That they’ll leave you because all of a sudden there’s a better provider in the picture. I don't see it like this. It's more subtle and usually takes months or even years. I can’t see many women initially going for someone shorter, less educated, makes less, and is quieter/shyer than them. Exactly. I think a natural response to that would be of course, why would she want to partner with someone who doesn’t have t… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/08/26 10:23 PM |
| 0 | Hypergamy and Monkey Branching vs. Attraction LevelMy understanding is women stay with men short, medium, or long after attraction is gone because they are "nesters" by nature. From my experience and those I know this period is filled with lots of arguing, nagging, less intimacy, and more chance of them cheating. Eventually in that period they build up enough conscious resentment to break free for good. Very few women are jumping from husband to husband trying to level up like Donkey Kong. Agreed. But men better be ready for the pain and confusi… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/08/26 10:19 PM |
| 1 | Hypergamy and Monkey Branching vs. Attraction LevelMonkey Branching could be used for either male/female IMO. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/08/26 09:33 PM |
| 1 | Hypergamy and Monkey Branching vs. Attraction LevelAppreciate the clarification. My response is the first source only suggests that the relationship will likely be more negatively affected, which I've already agreed to in my first response to you above. I can't get the second link to pull up. I'm talking about the men that women choose to stay with, due to chemical attraction. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/08/26 08:59 PM |
| 1 | Hypergamy and Monkey Branching vs. Attraction LevelI only found this when searching from the Pew Research Center. "National data shows that the median wait time to remarry is about 3.4 years for women and 3.7 years for men. Only a tiny fraction remarry in the first 12 months, though roughly two-thirds of divorced adults eventually remarry. " Where did you find the 60/20 stats? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/08/26 08:54 PM |
| 0 | Hypergamy and Monkey Branching vs. Attraction LevelI have to ask, you mentioned data. Which data are you referring to? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/08/26 08:41 PM |
| 2 | Hypergamy and Monkey Branching vs. Attraction LevelYou're right. Women have different preferences due to outward appearance, style, etc. I'll admit, I'm speaking in generalities here. Women are going to generally be more attracted to men with high marks in the categories I listed above. Women universally have an attraction level that follows the same trend. That doesn't mean a man with high marks in the categories above can get any woman. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/08/26 08:36 PM |
| 0 | Hypergamy and Monkey Branching vs. Attraction LevelWhen men experience this, it’s because women are evil and superficial for liking someone else Not to me it's not. It's that the man isn't strong enough via the inner qualities I listed in the post. That's why they leave. Plain and simple. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/08/26 08:31 PM |
| 3 | Hypergamy and Monkey Branching vs. Attraction LevelFor sure. That exact scenario happened to me with my first fiancee. And yes, a man could do it as well. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/08/26 08:30 PM |
| 2 | Hypergamy and Monkey Branching vs. Attraction LevelAbsolutely not. Also, to me "attraction" in it's truest form is neither moral or immoral. It's a subconscious response to perceived strength. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/08/26 08:28 PM |
| 0 | Hypergamy and Monkey Branching vs. Attraction LevelDo women prefer men who have their lives together? Yes of course. Agreed. I refer back to the qualities I listed above as examples for them having their life together. Will women leave their partners if they turn out to be manchildren who can’t use a vacuum cleaner and can’t hold down a job? Also yes, probably. Also agreed. In this scenario a man would be too "needy" and that's not attractive and the antonym of Independent. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/08/26 08:27 PM |
| 2 | Hypergamy and Monkey Branching vs. Attraction LevelIsn't monkey branching when she is afraid to leave the relationship until she has secured someone else? Yes this is my understanding as well. I don't see attraction to be the major factor in those cases. She is no longer interested in her current BF and is looking for plan B. Ah. Ok to me interest and attraction are interchangeable, with attraction being potentially a more precise indicator. To restate, there's a vacuum of interest/attraction in their current partner that is being filled by anot… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/08/26 08:23 PM |
| 3 | Hypergamy and Monkey Branching vs. Attraction LevelFrom my understanding Monkey Branching is securing a new partner before they've left their current partner. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/08/26 08:20 PM |
| 0 | Hypergamy and Monkey Branching vs. Attraction LevelI'd consider the terms at least partially true. They're just different words to conceptualize what's going on with relationships from the RP perspective. I've had several women in past relationships leave me for someone else or already have someone else lined up before breaking up with me. I know quite a few other men that have experienced the same as well. Could a man do that as well? Yes. But I do think it happens more often with women. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/08/26 07:53 PM |
| -1 | Hypergamy and Monkey Branching vs. Attraction LevelI certainly agree that issues like you mentioned such as trauma, abuse, etc affect relationships, often negatively. I also believe the concept of attraction level is more influential than those things, and unfortunately I think sometimes those issues you mentioned are referenced unintentionally from those that simply have low attraction. (If they have those issues and high attraction, they still would want to be with you) | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/08/26 07:42 PM |
| 1 | Men should stop trying to get women to like them.Trying to get a woman to like you is a waste of time. If you mean contemporary dating issues like putting them on a pedestal, overly neediness and approval, or any other rom-com type activities, then yes, I totally agree. However IMO men should absolutely focus on self-improvement both outer and inner appearance in order to attract a better partner. Personal examples: I was a scrawny dork in my teens and early twenties and couldn't get the type of women I wanted, so I spent six months completely… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/08/26 03:14 PM |
| 1 | "Preferred" Male is a much more accurate descriptor than "Alpha" MaleIndeed These traits you list men value in women I propose women also value in men. I know I would not be drawn to the opposite. You bring up a great point here and it'd be hard for me to disagree. A big part of this to me is we're doing our best to use our language capabilities to understand and describe the "appeal". There's most definitely overlap. For example confidence and charisma, or ambition and status, etc. For your last three paragraphs, it's a balancing act for sure. No partner should … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/08/26 03:46 PM |
| 1 | "Preferred" Male is a much more accurate descriptor than "Alpha" MaleThese are the questions that need to be examined more so thank you. There is another reddit post that included discussions in the comments that if traits like courage and emotional stability were considered masculine, then are the opposites considered feminine? I'd replied in another comment on here that a few of the opposites of these qualities are lazy, cowardly, insecure, boring, needy, and "dead beat". To a woman's deeper attraction these register as weakness. I don't think these opposites n… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/08/26 03:02 AM |

I'd add that this could be true for both men and women. Are they trying different things to see if it works better? Are they taking responsibility for their own success or in this case failure? Are they spending many hours researching dating and relationship strategies? Most likely "no" to any of those.

| 1 | "Preferred" Male is a much more accurate descriptor than "Alpha" MaleFor sure. I do think there are some "Red Pill" men and women that believe similar to me, but they're just outnumbered and out voiced by the women haters.

| 1 | "Preferred" Male is a much more accurate descriptor than "Alpha" MaleThat is the essential question yes and you're right on it's about how it's used. In Red Pill terms, a rebrand a away from "Just lift bro", which I do feel can be beneficial in multiple ways, to a more inner strength centered understanding. "Frame" for example to me is very similar to the concept of "Composure." The outer physical is just the tip of the iceberg for attraction. I want it to be understood more clearly, and whatever term gets that point across I'm game. This post was meant to test t… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/08/26 03:43 AM |

| 1 | "Preferred" Male is a much more accurate descriptor than "Alpha" MaleOk well, to me the kayfabe is unfortunately more of the "blue pill" ideology. Disregarding our primitive instincts. There's a reason Red Pill and even PUA communities are sticking around... it's because there's some truth in the psychology that they present. If it didn't work at all, men would have abandoned it long ago. I for one love women, and feel there's no need for manipulation in attracting them, so that incurs quite a bit of misunderstanding when debating on posts like this. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/08/26 10:17 PM |

| 2 | "Preferred" Male is a much more accurate descriptor than "Alpha" MaleDoes not mean this is going to attract every woman in the world Absolutely not, you are correct. However maximizing these inner strength traits (as well as outer ones) will be a HUGE improvement for most men in their dating success. Better understanding attraction and improving one's romantic odds isn't "facetious" at all to me. It's genuine if that's what they want, and many do. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/08/26 05:38 PM |

| 2 | "Preferred" Male is a much more accurate descriptor than "Alpha" MaleYour first paragraph is an attack. Paragraphs 2-4 either agree with what I'm saying via animal/human cooperation or also agree with what I'm saying via pointing out that it's not about physical aggression. I agree with your paragraph 5. For paragraph 6, no we don't live in the Paleolithic Era, but the mate selection process is indeed still there IMO. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/08/26 04:54 PM |

Appearance isn’t nearly as important as many think. Ambition Status Courage Confidence Charisma Composure Self Esteem Rate yourself on these categories.

Just as with other animals, males are the approachers and females are the acceptor/rejectors. And in the online meat market, the phenomenon is exaggerated even more. So what is a guy to do?

The sooner you learn that women can be upset, yet still want to be with you (more), the better ;) Them being upset with you is not directly correlated to their deep down desire to mate with you, and it depends on what they're upset about.

The Alpha response is actually therefore to "not give a F." When you feel the need to control something, you've already lost. Alpha is more than macho man controlling tactics.

My advice would be to watch others that have charisma (lot's of forms) and how they make it work for them. Most wouldn't believe it, but guys like David Letterman and Jerry Seinfeld did very well with attractive women. Be someone who can laugh at themselves but still have self respect.

Internalizing this principle will naturally fix 99% of your social and sexual interactions.So in the animal kingdom, the risk is not surviving for the leader or the lead, due to poor decisions or from clashes with a competing faction or intra faction alpha "wannabe."
