1	How common is this? "I have an amazing career, make almost 6 figures, have lots of friends and family, fit and physically active, many hobbies and talented, but I can't get a single date" One word: ugly.	/r/PurplePillDebate	16/09/22 04:34 PM

8	A society of single mothers is natural and the future I feel that most research says exactly the opposite - the male presence in child rearing is critical in human beings. Do you have any evidence for your claims?	/r/PurplePillDebate	04/08/18 12:30 PM
5	CMV: Men Care About A Woman's Status I somewhat agree. I generally don't care much about income, as long as it's not poverty; but I definitely care about her 'status' to some extent, in so far as it at least matches mine. Status, to me, is represented by a few facets: Is she educated? Is she cultured? Are her aims/goals/career comparable to my standards? This has very little to do with money and more with the concept of 'mission'. Is she ambitious in a way that either a.) develops herself as a person b.) adds value to society. Does…	/r/PurplePillDebate	04/08/18 12:19 PM
1	Is there a number of sexual partners that would turn you off from a partner? This mattered to me a ton in my 20’s, but as I get older, much less so. However, that doesn’t mean I don’t have a loose set of standards: for having a fling it makes absolutely no difference, but once entering a LTR I’d want someone with at least 3 but with a max of 25% of whatever number I’m currently sitting at (so for my current n= 12, my upper limit is 15 or so). It’s much more important in a LTR that our sex lives are compatible with history and experience than an absolute n count (hence th…	/r/PurplePillDebate	27/07/18 03:47 PM
2	CMV - Most "average" men are redeemable; can become reasonably attractive. No doubt that SMV can increase with proper care -- female attraction is a complicated multi-faceted process; and fair enough on the comment of the above average face. But I think there is an s- curve that exists with increasing SMV via lifestyle changes and things outside of facial masculinity. For example, there is a modicum of research for this on height in relation to number of sexual partners: http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1474704915604563 Short-men differ significantly in ter…	/r/PurplePillDebate	11/07/18 04:35 AM
0	CMV - Most "average" men are redeemable; can become reasonably attractive. There is no doubt about it that the spectrum of female attraction toward men is WAY more complicated than facial attractiveness, but face DOES MATTER, and to a significant degree. There is this recent study: http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0956797618760197, showing that masculine facial features are overwhelmingly preferred by women (which is a replication of many previous studies, and in this case, regardless of certain hormonal contingencies). The big question to me is: what is gr…	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/07/18 11:47 PM
8	"Post-wall women" stay single because they have absurd expectations I'm in my 30's, and was active on the dating scene for a bit. I do agree, while expectations for men have gone up, not all women are gunning for handsome doctors...that's such a hyperbole, I don't even know where to begin. Can we just agree that, on average, there is a degree of hypergamy at all levels of dating and move on from there? Conflating "handsome doctor, six-figure income" with "steady job, has shit together, is cute" is quite the distortion of reality. And my experience dictates that …	/r/PurplePillDebate	20/04/18 03:50 PM
2	CMV: Despite what the Red Pill says, most women are not psychologically bound to 'bad boys' who apply 'dread game', but they may feel bound to a genuinely good man. Or C.) He views women as equals. Get off your entitlement high horse.	/r/PurplePillDebate	21/02/17 07:59 PM
41	Learned Helplessness No. Learned helplessness is a very real phenomenon which has little to do with 'just thinking you are' helpless. There are several changes in the neurochemistry and activity of certain regions of the brain which take place after conditioning the animal to this state, and these can't be reversed by just thinking through it. You said it yourself, the researchers needed to physically move the dogs across the fence before they could jump. And humans are some magnificent exception? This is why interv…	/r/TheRedPill	01/05/15 03:27 AM
