| 15 | Many men like to talk about how women end up in abusive relationships because they "pick the wrong men". So let's hear it, how would YOU pick the right man if you were a woman.Because women mostly know how men make them feel. And that's not the same as being able to automagically detect who good guys are, especially when bad guys can hide in good guys' clothes. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/09/22 04:51 AM |
| 19 | Many men like to talk about how women end up in abusive relationships because they "pick the wrong men". So let's hear it, how would YOU pick the right man if you were a woman.And what does this stable, boring, 7/10 man present himself like. How will a woman experience him? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/09/22 04:48 AM |
| 7 | Guys, why are you so easily influenced by sex?It’s kinda implying that whatever you do or believe as a man, you have more credibility doing so if there’s a t least one woman out there who’s validating you This is actually a weirdly really good way to put it. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/05/22 11:28 PM |
| 17 | Guys, why are you so easily influenced by sex?No, but men (and to a decent degree women) impose getting laid and having an active sex life as an objective on other men. Men don't want to be seen by other men (or women) as the "virgin", that "gets no bitches", and has "never felt the touch of a woman", and will try very hard to make sure it's not so. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/05/22 06:49 PM |
| 0 | The problem of RP menExactly. White collar/blue collar are into RP These other types are not. I think you forgot what question you asked lol. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/05/22 06:28 AM |
| 1 | Are women of today showing greater preference for physically less masculine men ?Look dude all I'm saying is just because it makes sense why gay dudes would like the way the standards are set, doesn't mean they were the main ones who made it that way. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/05/22 06:00 AM |
| 1 | Are women of today showing greater preference for physically less masculine men ?No, they’re not exacting or imposing their standards and beliefs on broader society once they reach the highest echelons of pop culture Well this literally what I said initially. This was literally the original point of my argument. I'm not saying it was conservative rhetoric I said you were toeing the line of it. Reading comprehension will take you far in life. When you start an argument with "gay people actually created the one of the most prevalent and hated beauty standards of the late 20th-… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/05/22 03:27 AM |
| 1 | Are women of today showing greater preference for physically less masculine men ?Being a "tastemaker" is different than creating entire standards and having executive control over multiple industry. You cannot conflate Queen, a single band, influencing musicians and genres, with entire brands and production teams creating entire standards of beauty to sell products. And when you consider how low the control gay people had of their own portrayal in media, it would be stupid to suggest they had much over beauty standards. It's "fear mongering" because it's toeing the line of c… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/05/22 02:27 AM |
| 1 | Are women of today showing greater preference for physically less masculine men ?There are many still. I'm just saying their presence isn't a direct result of the rise of LGBT acceptance. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/05/22 02:11 AM |
| 1 | Are women of today showing greater preference for physically less masculine men ?A big point of disconnect of our arguments is that you seem think that every man/woman has to find the beauty standards attractive for them to be prevalent. That's not how it works. Kim K is something of an icon and every day someone on reddit talks about how unattractive they find her. Also media got more LGBT while standards like angular faces and skinny bodies LEFT. Heroin chic outside of modeling is long gone. Nowadays with so much lgbt influence in entertainment we see so much more body inc… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/05/22 10:40 PM |
| 1 | Are women of today showing greater preference for physically less masculine men ?Dude, no. I'm not talking about actors and creators. I mean that the representation of openly and actively gay recurring characters is a post 1990 thing. Were there gay people in entertainment? Sure, that's the stereotype because it's true. Were they controlling entertainment to the point of creating beauty standards across industries? No. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/05/22 10:28 PM |
| 1 | Are women of today showing greater preference for physically less masculine men ?Let's go by this paragraph-by-paragraph, one-by-one: 1) Your first point nothing to with either of our arguments. You originally said that Black women being masculinized was as old as the "BBC" stereotype. My point is that the concept of "BBCs" as well as Black hypermasculinity is very old, so it's a bit stupid to attempt to use that marker to make it seem recent. 2) Angular faces and thin bodies were and still are extremely prominent beauty standards in modeling and movies. It's not that any ra… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/05/22 07:23 PM |
| 1 | Are women of today showing greater preference for physically less masculine men ?Bro the "bbc thing" is as old as slavery and was a way for white men to talk down on Black men. Black women were never seen as hyperfeminine by the white populace. They were seen as aggressive, too muscular, too hardworking, and not submissive enough by white standards. While hourglass figures were considered attractive during the Victorian era, by the time television and movies were huge components of culture, aka "Hollywood" as colloquially understood was established, beauty standards had shif… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/05/22 06:04 PM |
| 1 | Are women of today showing greater preference for physically less masculine men ?The vast majority of gay people in popular, high budget movies and shows has taken place after the 2000s. Also while you do have a reasoning for why a gay person would come up with those standards, it's not even compelling. Since when do gay people desire hypermasculinity? Some do but most gay people hate overly masc types. Hypermasculinity is mostly desired as part of a male power fantasy by straight males, but also occasionally by woman as part of the female gaze. Women with no curves were mos… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/05/22 05:04 PM |
| 1 | Are women of today showing greater preference for physically less masculine men ?What the fuck are you talking about? Do you know how long it's taken for openly gay couples to appear on television? The first gay male to male kiss to appear on primetime tv was in 1998. Neither of the characters were "openly" gay, one of them never showed up again, and the kiss wasn't even portrayed in a positive way. Disney still dances around the idea of having openly gay characters. So I have absolutely no clue what you're talking about other than generic "gays run entertainment" bs that st… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/05/22 04:56 PM |
| 1 | Are women of today showing greater preference for physically less masculine men ?You really think their were enough closeted people of influence to change straight peoples' standards? Plus being masculine/feminine/androgynous looking has nothing to do with races. Except it does though. For a long time Black women were seen as too "masculine" and "muscular" and therefore were not commonly cited for their beauty. The features white people in power associated with them then, like having big asses and big lips and otherwise being "thick", are now some of the main features that w… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/05/22 04:47 PM |
| 0 | Are women of today showing greater preference for physically less masculine men ?I feel like this is a joke? Are you really trying to blame weird straight beauty standards on gay men? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/05/22 04:09 AM |
| 0 | Are women of today showing greater preference for physically less masculine men ?Gay men have an influence on pop culture but 1) It's much more recently that this has influence has grown 2) Beauty standards are much larger than pop culture and has hardly been dependent on gay men's taste. Racism and classism play infinitely larger parts than what gay men thought was hot in the 80s. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/05/22 03:42 AM |
| 0 | Are women of today showing greater preference for physically less masculine men ?What? Are you guys really trying to suggest that a group of people who were oppressed due to the people they desire sexually, were controlling the media's view of who we should desire sexually? When in reality a large part of it was classism and racism? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/05/22 02:53 AM |
| 5 | Are women of today showing greater preference for physically less masculine men ?I feel like none of them are. It's like an extremely traditional person's idea of feminine. Like how some people think washing their gooch is gay. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/05/22 02:44 AM |
| 3 | What would a below average man/woman be?YES I instantly knew what you meant! BMI is best used on a population level NOT on an individual basis. Fat distribution on women varies sooo much more than men's. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/05/22 10:34 PM |
| 3 | What would a below average man/woman be?I'm just saying it does probably hurt their dating prospects. It is dumb and fatphobic to say though. Which is why I dislike the user. In another comment I called out the stupidity of their argument, since they insist that not just fat but "medically overweight" women are below average. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/05/22 08:10 PM |
| 4 | What would a below average man/woman be?While I don't like the person who made the comment, they are right in that in the grand scheme of dating someone who is a single mother is probably doing less than average. Anyone who doesn't want kids will not date them, and people who want some control over the circumstances by which they have kids will also not be compatible with them. Realisitically, however, single moms to your average inc*l for some reason represent greedy, welfare babies, who only take and don't give. Why? Misogyny ig. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/05/22 06:37 PM |
| 2 | What would a below average man/woman be?As pointed out by another replier, u/pillboxhat, "medically overweight" people don't always look like you'd imagine. It has a lot to do with bone structure and fat distribution. For example, this supermodel, Iskra Lawrence, here has a bmi of around 27 making her "medically overweight". Now do you really think she falls in the category of "below average"? Demi Rose Mawby has a bmi of around 24/25 making her just about medically overweight. Do you really think she's below average? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/05/22 06:30 PM |
