I'm in pretty good shape, if a little lean (5'10, ~150lbs, 14%bf). People tell me I look like I work out; I hear it a few times a month. Hairline mildly receding at the temples, but I keep it with a cut I really like and style it. I do use a moisturizer/sunscreen, but no retinol. I definitely don't get approached by strangers (though if I'm being honest, lots of people seem receptive to my casual conversation). Do you think you've got an exceptional facecard? Or attribute it to something else? M…

I agree. There's a lot of authenticity behind a 'senseless' action like that. She seemed to understand exactly where your head was at in that moment. I'm starting to think she may have liked that you liked her.

I definitely think we as a sub need to standardize our definition a bit. I couldn't imagine trying to bed someone without the decency of at least talking to them like a person first. I'd consider some mutual vibe- checking to be an essential part of the definition, even for a "cold" open

Do you consider physical attraction a valid reason to want to get to know a person, or does it sour the whole interaction to believe that's why you were approached? Let's assume an average person -- mildly attractive to you (in any metric), but nothing to write home about?

I'm trying to back away from this point of view. Life is a consistently uncomfortable experience, and trying to coddle people away from it is disrespectful to them being adults. Likewise, respecting why fear may be the default response, while maintaining that you haven't done anything to deserve it personally, is a much more healthy balance. I'm not a threat to someone (regardless of their perception), nor is it my aim to pressure them into something they don't want. But if they can't handle a c…

Sounds more to me like he's saying it never worked for him and never benefitted him. That's the opposite of pulling the ladder up behind you; he learned the hard way that the ladder is on fire.

It's valid to resent being objectified for sex; sounds like you deal with it frequently. Life, however, it's full of uncomfortable experiences. Strangers aren't entitled to your sustained attention nor admiration, but human beings are entitled to attempt to socialize with strangers. You may as well resent a dog for chewing bones otherwise. If you're not a social person, that's fine. But respectfully, the place for such people is at home. Despising people for being outgoing is a major component o…

Just so you don't feel crazy, this sounds like a perfectly sane way to express interest in a stranger, and no one griping about cold approaches to people was going to do anything better with 10 minutes of their time anyway. OP is playing with a blackpill mindset.

"Know a person isn't an asshole before investing in a LTR" is a much more sensible and agreeable stance than you seem to be presenting in the rest of these comments, which read more as "most women are callous and unempathetic to the point that it qualifies as abuse". Maybe you should lead with the sane version.

Idk man sounds kinda like low-T afraid-of-the-world shit. Life is messy; people can be cruel. You're not wrong, but I'd rather learn the resilience to be bigger than it, than bend your knee and "play the game". If only 1% of the people in the world respect that kind of integrity, then I'd rather sift through the 99% and find the ones who matter.

Don’t insult people like that. This is what is so offensive about PUA. I didn't insult anyone, and I'm not a supporter of PUA. You're projecting a lot onto me right now. The guy in front of me in line who comments about the band on my shirt? That’s organic and natural. Which is why I suggested we were approaching different hypotheticals. Wracking my brain to figure why you assume I live and work in the suburbs. Again, not something I insinuated. Please read comments before responding to them in …

I'm inclined to say we should take a descriptive approach to human socializing in an age when our social spheres are shrinking. You're right, it's not impossible to maintain them, but I hope we can agree they're less available overall. It might also be fair to surmise we're envisioning slightly different hypothetical scenarios. I assume these interactions are happening in public/recreational spaces -- coffee shops, parks and such. It sounds like you're seeing objective-oriented spaces, grocery s…

I'm not convinced you read her comment. She made a point to say that she doesn't get attention unless she's getting scammed or someone has desperately low standards, which is a bit of a blackpill take. I'm having trouble deciphering if we're claiming at this point that it's more shallow to just hit on someone because they're hot, or because they're not. If someone hit on me, I'd sure as shit think they wanted to get to know me personally because they're definitely not getting conventional attrac…

You rated highest of anyone in this thread (at the time I commented), for the dude who cold approached you because you were cute. In other words, you're the only one who actually responds positively (romantically) to behavior everyone else here regards as desperate. So it seemed quippy to rope your flair into it. Hope I didn't offend.

I mean... is it possible he wants to get to know you? You're within your rights not to follow up, or to be a bit suspect, but the whole point of a date is to get to know somebody. Besides, hot or not, maybe you caught his eye. Maybe he found something especially charming about your laugh or smile? Emotions aren't rational, and are rarely predictable.
/r/PurplePillDebate22/07/24 05:08 AM

Only if she's insufferable about it. As I imagine any dude who goes full incel over mens' issues would be. How we all just have a personality not based on how unlucky the circumstances of our birth were.

Insisting that something is common knowledge doesn't make your whackjob take actually real. Promiscuity tends to arise out of a need for externalized validation, usually because self-est3em was damaged at a critical age (this is why "daddy issues" is synonymous with "easy"). Having two people fighting over you is also very validating. These are not gender-specific, and the sex is the cause and not the result. "broken pair-bonding"... boy do you have rocks in your skull?

Not to whatabout, but this is also my default reaction when women say they like a "dad bod". No you don't. You're into mid-bulk weightlifters and athletes. those dudes and 150lbs of muscle wrapped in a bit of pudge. The average american dad is just fat.

My legitimate question for you: what's your long term plan if you contort yourself into something you're not and she falls for you? Do you just have to keep up the act forever?

To actually answer this question, sex is a shorthand for intimacy, which gives a sense of purpose and belonging. Humans are social; feeling ostracized is damaging to us. Society has stifled a generation of men to percieve sex as the only significant form of intimacy (it's not), which is why they lionize it. That it comes coupled with euphoria and a biological imperative only intensifies this longing. so tl;dr, feeling disconnected and isolated is painful, our individualist/consumeristic society …

And this dismissive attitude is exactly what drives people to RP. The dilemma these people are facing is "give a shit" vs "look out for yourself", and now you're telling them their happiness is no one else's problem.... so of course they're going to look out for themselves. In your words, "that's just nature". People who aren't getting their psycho-social needs met (affection, validation, belonging) start checking out of the social contract and turning into manipulators and narcissists.

You can absolutely flirt without any objective other than mild, mutual validation. We aren't puritans after all. And you can still absolutely do that in the context of a comitted relationship unless, again, both of you are puritans who think sex/romance is a god-given obligation and not fun.

We learn most social behaviors by watching our parents, especially around age 7. How they interact with each other heavily shapes our understanding odf gender dynamics. Interestingly, some research is starting to show how detrimental COVID was, because children whose parents had neuroses were basically locked in a building with them during that critical period with no outside influences.

The redpill solution here isn't the worst, but it's shortsighted and doesn't actually address the issues. it succeeds by fluke. First, address hormonal issues. Increase in stress csn tank libido, job burnout, sleep deprivation, diet or new medications. Unless it's specifically a coping strategy, most individuals don't get aroused under stress, and the experiencing is rarely fulfilling when it is. If the above factors aren't playing a role, it has more to do with the relationship. Loss of respect…

There's a fine line between doing it to impress others (desperate) vs doing it as a form of self respect (while still acknowledging its value derives from the social impact). For example, would you totally stop putting in that effort once you got married? You're certainly not trying to pull anyone after that point. But on the whole, I agree that saying you "do it for yourself" is misleading at best. We do it for our status, but we can maintain our social status as an end within itself and not ju…

I won't censor anybody from saying so, but I prefer a reasoned argument. You have no idea how much I appreciate this. I'm not a subscriber here; I usually bounce from sub to sub (often following comment links), bringing both agreement and disagreement wherever I go. The notion of safe spaces (in my opinion) is becoming increasingly common, and more and more I find myself banned for having an opinion that offends the community I'm in. No room to grow, no mutual learning (I never presume I'm "educ…
