| 1 | CMV: It's not worth it for men to get married in USA.You are correct they are not medical terms but they are often used to remove some of the complexity. They do refer to specific conditions with certain criteria though, and not simply buzzwords for "bad person" A psychopathic person for example would be somebody with ASPD and factor 1 traits. I am having a hard time focusing at the moment as the environment I am in is very loud so sorry if my answers are a bit off at the moment, but the short version is that in the psychological field there is a … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/11/19 08:17 PM |
| 1 | CMV: It's not worth it for men to get married in USA.Sorry I should have phrased it more clearly. I do not doubt it is ASPD, but ASPD is an umbrella term that covers many conditions. I doubt they were a sociopathic person, and many argue that sociopathy and psychopathy do not belong under the ASPD umbrella because they are much different than most other conditions under it. Your account of what happened does not sound like what a sociopathic person would do. They tend to be rather disconnected and less emotional, basically they would more likely h… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/11/19 06:50 PM |
| 1 | CMV: It's not worth it for men to get married in USA.This does not sound like how a sociopathic person would act, but the labels do not really matter here. The important thing is that you were ensnared into a manipulative abusive situation and you had the strength to get out of it. You are not a loser because somebody else too advantage of any weakness of yours they could find, that can happen to anybody. I hope you can find healing from this and find somebody that treats you well. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/11/19 07:02 AM |
| 1 | Larger dating pools make it HARDER to find a mate, not easierI have not moved but I have traveled to places very different and far from home and pushed my comfort zones pretty hard. Most people do not bite and generally the strategy is the same in most places to start talking. In fact "I am new to town" can be part of a conversation starter if the person seems nice. I would start with making new friends though and have them show you around and get to know the place, make some memories, once one has some roots in an area it will make dating more comfortabl… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/11/19 11:06 AM |
| 1 | Larger dating pools make it HARDER to find a mate, not easierWhat works for me is just talking to strangers. I am not sure why more people do not do it really, with a bit of practice it gets easier and easier and most people like chatting to pass the time but read the room, some people do not want to talk, but make sure to note the difference between does not want to talk and just shy but might actually want to talk, when in doubt you can always just ask nicely "I hope I am not bothering you. I can stop talking if you rather not talk, I will not be offend… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/11/19 06:49 AM |

Eventually you will need to take the risk of trying the skills and possibly failing but before that there are several books and channels on youtube I can recommend as well as some free online courses that can be useful. The basics are psychology, sociology, philosophy, and body language studies, but there is alo… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/10/19 04:15 AM |
| 1 | The average man is too trusting of women ...especially young womenYou do not need to get jaded or bitter or make broad assumptions about whole groups of people or any of that to take logical steps to build trust in a more reliable way rather than let feelings lead the way. That is most people's problems they let their feelings fog their view. We should not try to stuff down our emotions but we can not let them be the leaders either, it needs to be an equal partnership where we acknowledge and accept our emotions but take time to introspect and examine how they… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/10/19 11:49 PM |
| 1 | PSA for the ladiesCommunication is a very common problem I see all over the place, in sexual/romantic relationships, among friends and family and strangers, just in general people seem to have a hard time with good communication skills, which I find surprising as I have found having good communication skills is probably one of the most valuable social tools and is something I have worked hard to perfect. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/10/19 04:55 PM |
| 1 | Transgender Man Who Fooled Women With His Prosthetic Penis and Caused Them 'Extreme Pain' Jailed for Sexual Assault what do you think of this PPD?You previously stated that you do not believe gender is something society constructs. Wouldn't being allowed to wear a skirt or generally how to act be a social construct? What if somebody does not naturally fit into those predefined rules? Would a very feminine male be a different gender than a very masculine male? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/10/19 04:32 AM |
| 1 | Transgender Man Who Fooled Women With His Prosthetic Penis and Caused Them 'Extreme Pain' Jailed for Sexual Assault what do you think of this PPD?Previously you stated that gender is " Ideas about how the sexes should act and be like." Can you elaborate on this more please? I seem to be misunderstanding exactly what you believe gender is. What is a man and what is a women by your definitions? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/10/19 04:15 AM |
| 1 | Transgender Man Who Fooled Women With His Prosthetic Penis and Caused Them 'Extreme Pain' Jailed for Sexual Assault what do you think of this PPD?Is gender a spectrum? For example is a physical male that produces estrogen naturally or a person born with both genitals, or a person born with a female sexual organ that later becomes a male one naturally without medical intervention (called alpha 5 reducs), are they only male or only female, or can they be something in between? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/10/19 04:00 AM |
| 1 | Transgender Man Who Fooled Women With His Prosthetic Penis and Caused Them 'Extreme Pain' Jailed for Sexual Assault what do you think of this PPD?Historically many non-european societies recognized more than two genders, native americans pre-colonialism recognized 8 genders for example. Is the two gender model better? If so why? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/10/19 03:08 AM |
| 1 | PSA for the ladiesConsenting to vanilla sex is not consenting to any random kink. They key here is communication, just ask if they are okay with things before sex or at the very least before doing it to them. When in doubt talk it out. It does not have to be awkward or ruin the mood if you do it in a sexy confident way, and lying about something or intentionally withholding information you believe is important to them to get them to agree to sex is also not consent. Also pay attention to body language if sex is g… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/10/19 01:31 AM |
| 1 | Transgender Man Who Fooled Women With His Prosthetic Penis and Caused Them 'Extreme Pain' Jailed for Sexual Assault what do you think of this PPD?Perhaps it will help if I rephrase the question. Would you say gender something society creates? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/10/19 03:41 AM |
| 1 | Transgender Man Who Fooled Women With His Prosthetic Penis and Caused Them 'Extreme Pain' Jailed for Sexual Assault what do you think of this PPD?Would you say it is a construct then? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/10/19 03:27 AM |

| 1 | Transgender Man Who Fooled Women With His Prosthetic Penis and Caused Them 'Extreme Pain' Jailed for Sexual Assault what do you think of this PPD?I would like to present a scenario if that is okay. Let us say you have two humans, Brian a man and Betty a women. You surgically remove Brian's head and put it on Betty's body, and vice versa for Betty's head. Which one is the man and which one is the women now? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/10/19 02:36 AM |

| 1 | Transgender Man Who Fooled Women With His Prosthetic Penis and Caused Them 'Extreme Pain' Jailed for Sexual Assault what do you think of this PPD?Is being viewed as a man or women part of most people's identities? If somebody insisted on calling you a man (if you are a women) or a women (if you are a man) all the time, would it bother you at all? Would it bother the average person? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/10/19 03:56 AM |
| 1 | Transgender Man Who Fooled Women With His Prosthetic Penis and Caused Them 'Extreme Pain' Jailed for Sexual Assault what do you think of this PPD?How is it presented? In your own words if I may request that. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/10/19 03:27 AM |
| 1 | Transgender Man Who Fooled Women With His Prosthetic Penis and Caused Them 'Extreme Pain' Jailed for Sexual Assault what do you think of this PPD?That is correct. Body dysmorphia is also not exclusive to transgender people, there are a few other ways it can manifest. That is not to say all people that have transitional surgery automatically have body dysmorphia though, some just do it because it makes them happy, similar to people that get plastic surgery. Additionally I should note that not all transgender people experience gender dysphoria either, as not all of them experience any distress over it. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/10/19 03:26 AM |
| 1 | CMV: Flirting with girls is fucking easy if you already know how to make friends with other guys. The only guys who feel like it's a "performance" to get girls are socially inept.That is essentially exactly what I went through but worse. I was never an incel (in fact I actively avoided anything sexual for most of my life, I did not see any appeal to it until more recently in life and still have not really seeked it out at all. There was never anything involuntary about it, I have had opportunities and did not take them), but there were always people shouting different versions of "just be normal" to me, the only people that did not were pretty much just the trained speci… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/10/19 03:14 AM |

| 3 | CMV: Flirting with girls is fucking easy if you already know how to make friends with other guys. The only guys who feel like it's a "performance" to get girls are socially inept.I had no skills or tools to socialize, in fact medically speaking my brain wiring is not built to socialize with other people (there is litterally no name for what I have or if there is no doctor could figure it out. I have had years of extensive medical and psychological testing). I lack the proper emotional regulators for typical social interaction (not that I am terrible to be around when I act naturally, just blunt, to the point, emotionally blank or stoic most of the time, and at times obli… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/10/19 05:11 PM |
| 1 | Transgender Man Who Fooled Women With His Prosthetic Penis and Caused Them 'Extreme Pain' Jailed for Sexual Assault what do you think of this PPD?I appear to have upset you, and for this I apologize as I did not intend for this. This is my fault for using poor communication skills and misrepresenting my point of view as a result. If it is okay with you I would like to try this again from the beginning in a different way so that we can reach a common ground and a better understanding of each other's views, is that okay with you? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/10/19 04:19 PM |
| 1 | Transgender Man Who Fooled Women With His Prosthetic Penis and Caused Them 'Extreme Pain' Jailed for Sexual Assault what do you think of this PPD?Not all transgender people feel uncomfortable in the bodies they were born with, not all of them want to have transitional surgeries/etc. They would not be classified as having dysmorphia. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/10/19 04:01 PM |
| 1 | Transgender Man Who Fooled Women With His Prosthetic Penis and Caused Them 'Extreme Pain' Jailed for Sexual Assault what do you think of this PPD?I believe you misunderstand the point I am attempting to make. If you simply did not know a bit of information was important to somebody else then that is much different than knowing for a fact that a certain bit of information will have a high chance of changing somebody's willingness to have sex and then choosing to either withhold or change that information. Most people would not mind having sex with a 40 year old that passed for 20, most people if she started out telling them "I am 20" and t… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/10/19 03:46 PM |

| 1 | Transgender Man Who Fooled Women With His Prosthetic Penis and Caused Them 'Extreme Pain' Jailed for Sexual Assault what do you think of this PPD?calling somebody something other than their preferred pronoun invalidates their identity. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/10/19 02:52 PM |

It does not matter if they agree with your rationale for not wanting sex past a certain age, you are allowed to have any sexual boundaries you want and lying to get past those boundaries i… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/10/19 02:48 PM |

They get bullied, beaten, their lives regularly threatened just for existing. They feel that they have nobody at all in life often, which even POWs and slaves will often still have friends they think about back at home if they can ever escape, they have something to hope for, while a transgender person has often never felt accepted or understood their whole lives (not to… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/10/19 02:29 PM |

I do no recall hearing about this and would like to see evidence. If you are willing to get that for me I would appreciate it. There are many brain wiring abnormalities that do not cause harm.

| 1 | Transgender Man Who Fooled Women With His Prosthetic Penis and Caused Them 'Extreme Pain' Jailed for Sexual Assault what do you think of this PPD?Genetics are what determine brain wiring as well, so may I ask again what makes a physical female brain in a physical male body less valid than other formations such as having both sexual organs? Is genetics the reason for that invalidity? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/10/19 04:18 AM |

| 1 | Transgender Man Who Fooled Women With His Prosthetic Penis and Caused Them 'Extreme Pain' Jailed for Sexual Assault what do you think of this PPD?There is a wide range of variations in brain wiring that can exist without being defined as a mental illness in the DSM-5 or ICD-10, in order for something to be considered a mental illness in those manuals it must be the direct cause of some form of mental/physical distress or be harmful to people around the affected individual. However being transgender is often not a direct source of distress to the person that has it (most of their distress if from being bullied all their life, though some a… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/10/19 03:53 AM |
| 1 | Transgender Man Who Fooled Women With His Prosthetic Penis and Caused Them 'Extreme Pain' Jailed for Sexual Assault what do you think of this PPD?Male and female brains have displayed some differences in medical testing and trans people tend to have the wiring of the one they identify as. What if somebody has the female brain wiring, but in a male body (or vice versa)? Is that less valid than say somebody born with both male and female sexual organs, simply because it is not visible on the skin? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/10/19 03:30 AM |

| 1 | Transgender Man Who Fooled Women With His Prosthetic Penis and Caused Them 'Extreme Pain' Jailed for Sexual Assault what do you think of this PPD?The latest version of the DSM does not define transgendered people as mentally ill.

| 1 | Transgender Man Who Fooled Women With His Prosthetic Penis and Caused Them 'Extreme Pain' Jailed for Sexual Assault what do you think of this PPD?yes he, because "he" is not a title you earn by being a good trans person.

| 2 | Don't listen to women when it comes to dating, all they do is virtual signal.I think all of these problems have equivalency in men as well though. The number of times I have seen men chase women that were horrible human beings just because they were highly attractive is astounding. I do not see men as any more willing to accept it as women. I think we can just sum it all up as humans are much more guided by our subconscious instincts than we are aware and we are not as rational as we think we are. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/10/19 08:26 PM |
| 3 | Don't listen to women when it comes to dating, all they do is virtual signal.I have had quite a few friends over the years, both men and women, and 99% of the time problems that are blamed on any number of things are usually just poor communication skills and usually little to do with the physical gender of the person.

| 2 | Don't listen to women when it comes to dating, all they do is virtual signal.From your description this sounds like it was not super reliable. They used only 2 people, with not many controls. If you wanted to do this study properly you would need hundreds and repeat the tests all over the planet over all different cultures with careful controls to really have real information that is useful for gauging human behavior.

| 1 | The fact that the most offensive thing you could ask a woman about is her age inevitably proves that women are aware of the wall itselfI think you are spot on with that belief, and I think that it is possible that that is what often happens when somebody loses weight and keeps it off, but that would mean the peer pressure is not what keeps them slim. They found their reason for doing it for themselves, that is what keeps them concerned for their own health. I think this applies to most if not all change people go through, they find something that makes them want to change. When it is done out of fear of judgement ultimately the… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/10/19 06:19 AM |
| 1 | The fact that the most offensive thing you could ask a woman about is her age inevitably proves that women are aware of the wall itselfYou are correct they might make changes from such peer pressure, but if the only reason they are losing weight is because of peer pressure I believe they are likely to gain it back later. I also believe there is a difference between fat shaming and having genuine concern for somebody's health as a close friend, which will have different impacts. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/10/19 06:49 PM |
| 1 | The fact that the most offensive thing you could ask a woman about is her age inevitably proves that women are aware of the wall itselfI am not sure if I see enough evidence for this. I used to be chronically underweight (not related to mental illness), now I am not, plenty of obese people lose weight and do not gain it back, some of them that I personally know. One just has to change their lifestyle rather than follow fad diets and lose weight fast programs. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/10/19 06:45 PM |
| 1 | The fact that the most offensive thing you could ask a woman about is her age inevitably proves that women are aware of the wall itselfI am guessing it was likely more than peer pressure that kept the weight off though, even if perhaps it might have been on the list of reasons, but I suppose you likely know them better than I. If peer pressure really worked here it is likely the exception not the rule. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/10/19 06:41 PM |
| 1 | The fact that the most offensive thing you could ask a woman about is her age inevitably proves that women are aware of the wall itselfIt does not, they might drop the weight, but unless they are dropping the weight for themselves and not from other people's judgement, then they will likely gain it back. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/10/19 07:26 AM |
| 1 | The sexual revolution was a failed experimentI am not familiar with the term "identity politics" and if I had more time I would look it up right now but I may read on it later. I agree with your points here. In all of human history we have been close knit communities working together to survive and thrive, only in the past 200 years or so have we become so disconnected (from the research I have done one could argue it really started in the renaissance, but besides the point) and we just are not meant to live so disconnected. I agree I thin… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/10/19 04:56 AM |
| 1 | The sexual revolution was a failed experimentI like the way you think. I agree that is a common case and I really feel like people are really missing out on something so valuable in life when they do not learn how to be open and vulnerable, truly and fully, with at least one other person on earth. I guess that is what most would consider a soul mate, but I think "soul mate" does not have to be romantic or sexual, it can be a close friend of family member too. I also very much agree that finding inner peace and good introspection makes all … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/10/19 03:57 AM |
| 1 | The sexual revolution was a failed experimentI highly agree, most people just want to play games and I just do not have the time and energy for it. I will spend time with people that show me they are trustworthy and respectable, but otherwise I rather read some books, work on projects/inventions, or just go out in the woods alone.

| 1 | The sexual revolution was a failed experimentI feel as though I have not done enough research to have a useful opinion on some of what you are saying. I am also highly selective about who I socialize with so I really could not tell you how most people act, since I avoid most people. I do agree there is always a chance things will go differently than expected.

| 1 | The sexual revolution was a failed experimentI think this actually bumps into some deeper social issues that I would say plague almost every if not every culture. We often let our emotions determine our morality and out ability to trust others, blindly usually. If it feels good we see ourselves as the good guy, if it feels good to trust somebody we trust them. This is were a very large number of our problems come from.
