| – | How would you want your son to be raised?Bro Tate does have some good advice about confidence, game, and getting fit that tons of other better people also give, but he leans way too much into the doomerism to appeal to his audience. I have seen Tate fans unironically believe that 90% of men are incels and that random 19 year old girls regularly get flown out to some yacht in Miami. He generally greatly over exaggerates how bad things are. I got laid when I was 18 and 115 pounds and according to Andrew Tate thats impossible.

| – | Daily Community Chat MegathreadI can understand why nobody would want to fight in some pointless war like Iraq or Afghanistan or something. But look at the situation in Israel. Country has been at war since it's founding with maniacs who want to slaughter Jews and completely destroy the state of Israel. In that situation it makes so much more sense to be willing to fight. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/12/23 12:57 AM |
| – | You need three things for a successful dating cycle. I think this is a universal law that's true for everyoneWomen are so annoying when they do that fake rejection shit like you mentioned, about that girl telling you she didn't want to have sex, and then when you "pass" and play it cool they get all giggly and attractive. It's like if you want to have sex with me, or if you want to go out with me, why don't you just let it happen? Maybe as a male it's hard for me to understand this, but like this one first date I was on, I said something about "so on our next date...." Then she said in a very stern ser… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/12/23 07:27 PM |
| 1 | Does TRP believe that the best way to solve this dating problem, is too become the problem?I genuinely believe that if every man had decent social skills and put in a decent amount of effort than every man could get a girlfriend. Or nearly every man. The reason there's so many sexless young men is because a lot of them haven't even tried. You can't just put up some low effort online dating profile and then when you don't get many matches claim that "it's over for average men and western society is going to collapse." | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/12/23 11:18 PM |
| 3 | Why aren't there more male mentors? I've always wanted one even now I'm a middle aged manI don't see how the group has to be male only to find male role models. My BJJ class has like 45 people in it and there are maybe 3 chicks. I ask the older guys I know for advice sometimes. It doesn't make a difference. And you would be hard pressed to find a single chick in a hunting group or dirt biking group And btw if you really look there are groups that ban women. College frats, the freemasons. I'm sure there's others out there. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/12/23 07:36 PM |
| 6 | Why does it matter if Red Pill applies to everyoneThe redpill has so much good in it. Being more confident, gaining self esteem, emphasis on finding a purpose, "numbers game," being comfortable in your sexuality and masculinity, generally improving you physical appearance. If anyone has a problem with any of that then their opinion is pretty much worthless and can be simply ignored. I do think there are some legit criticisms of the redpill. Like "AWALT," "men and women can't be friends," "money status and looks are all that matters" and just ge… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/12/23 07:23 PM |

Then if she says no you can go back to being classmates or coworkers or members of the social group or whatever it is with the knowledge she isn't available for you and will only be a friend.

Waiting weeks or months or something just seems like a huge over complication and a waste of time. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/12/23 04:45 PM |
| – | To what extent did globalism create the modern dating world? And to what extent will de-globalization reverse it?Nah man look at any economic study and you can see mostly blue collar jobs are going through a huge boom right now. Truckers, construction work, welders, plumbers, cops, car technicians pretty much all of it. My 21 year old friend just started out as a carpenters apprentice for 23 bucks an hour. You can't say that men are oppressed because there's no factory jobs. There's a huge huge shortage of men willing to do these sorts of trade jobs right now and wages are going up in the blue collar world… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/12/23 03:13 PM |

If you make out or especially have sex on the first date it's way easier to get a second date. Because once a women feels really invested she's not just gonna start over from 0 with some random dude who maybe has a bigger dick than you or whatever thing your insecure about. Also by definition a good portion of women don't get "turned off" by players. Otherwise they wouldn't be players! | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/12/23 04:21 AM |

One reason I'm glad I at one point had crippling social anxiety is now I have less anxiety than most people and I have really thought through most of the beliefs that lead to this anxiety. If you are nervous around a girl you like it means you are in a threat oriented state, and you are probably seeing her disapproval as a real threat. This can lead to pandering nice guy behavior. It's better to be in a positive happy state, you are glad to be around her, hoping… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/12/23 04:28 PM |

There actually are a lot of women into anime these days but let's say a man wanted to find a women who will be into ganking noobs on counterstrike and dirt biking. Ya good luck with that buddy.

Learning to not give a fuck and gaining true self esteem and basically recovering from social anxiety and or nice guy syndrome is hugely beneficial and I don't at all miss being a socially retarded insecure dork.

I don't think anyone explicitly says that but people do grossly exaggerate the bar to get girls, and that makes it way less likely that those guys will have the confidence to go for dates. I lost my virginity when I was 18 and weighed 115 pounds, and I didn't have a car. I rode my bike 4 miles to the first date.

| 4 | Nice guys/gals don’t finish last people with unhealthy dating patterns do.You brought this up but authenticity is the key here. Being "nice" in a pandering, low self esteem, inoffensive, validation-seeking way will make you finish last. Being authentic and also nice is fine. My jui Jitsu instructor is a nice guy and he let me have a few weeks of free classes when I was broke because my catalytic converter got stolen. But nobody in hell would ever call him a "nice guy" in the context that people use when talking about dating. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/12/23 10:16 PM |

| – | OLD isn't that bad for average guysThis changes my view. I did some research and I found one source on the 0.6% rate. You are also correct, I'm embarrassed I overlooked the average vs median point. If average guys truly are working with that little volume, it is bad. I still think that it's worth a try for guys to take good pictures and post them on 2 or 3 apps.

| 7 | Would you rather be a tall, good looking (high functioning) autistic guy or a short unattractive neurotypical guyYeah this is so true about the neuroticism/anxiety thing. I think it's partly just a masculine vs feminine thing. Like being a bit socially awkward is okay as long as it's not in an unmanly 'beta' way. When I was addicted to Xanax I had way more options compared to when I'm my normal anxious neurotic self.

| 8 | Would you rather be a tall, good looking (high functioning) autistic guy or a short unattractive neurotypical guyThey don't "ask you out" directly but they will make the first move.

That night I approached a bunch of girls at my college, I think I got 15 phone numbers and 4 dates from that, than lost my virginity to one of those dates, on the first date, and she was attractive too. This is why I argue on here with women who say they are experts about "smelling" (insecurity, autism, virginity, desperation, narcissism, etc. etc.). Like women are psychic social wizards or so… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/06/23 08:29 PM |
| 8 | Women’s hypersensitivity to awkwardness and lack of social prowess/dominance is not rooted in fear or some “survival instinct” they’ve evolved in response to dangerous men, but rather in their privilege and abundanceI always wonder about woman's ability to pick up on "being on the spectrum," or rationally caring. Idk for sure if I'm on it but I probably am, I scored in the 99.99th percentile in standardized math tests when I was younger, and eye contact doesn't come naturally to me, monotone voice, so some pretty big signs. But it seems more like an anxiety and confidence thing, rather than a judgement if someone is on the spectrum. When I was addicted to benzos I had no problem getting laid whatsoever.

| – | CMV: Men today have a massive victim mentality, and it is holding them back from finding success.I really like the dating coach on YouTube "playing with fire" he gives great action oriented advice that works. But his videos get 14k views because nobody wants to hear it. They would rather watch someone shit on women and tell them it's not their fault, millions of views on those videos. I do sorta agree with you that there isn't good cultural guidance. Even if you do run into decent people who tell you to actually take action, it's hard to undo years of programming from shitty parents or teac… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/06/23 07:31 PM |
| – | CMV: Men today have a massive victim mentality, and it is holding them back from finding success.Ya, I get other people are in different circumstances. If you got kids or are trying to buy a house or something, I get why you have the right to complain. Or if you already have a degree and debt and can't find a good job, okay that's a different situation. But just as a young dude I'm able to get by just fine working 15-20 hours as a student in Colorado. I work a bit more in the summer but even without that extra money I would be totally fine. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/06/23 06:38 PM |
| – | CMV: Men today have a massive victim mentality, and it is holding them back from finding success.This is a US centric comment. But this is total bullshit. Community college is free for everyone in most states, free for poor people with the pell grant in every state. Get good grades in community college, and you can get scholarships for 4 year schools. Even with no scholarships four year state schools only cost like 10k a year which isn't much debt if you are getting a decent degree. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/06/23 06:27 PM |
| – | CMV: Men today have a massive victim mentality, and it is holding them back from finding success.Agreed, people have no perspective on history and gen Z is soft and takes less action in general. This hurts men more in dating, but being action less as a women is bad in other areas of life. There's literally more young people living at home today than during the great depression. Most "manosphere" content is videos and videos on hypergamy, female nature, money and status. For young guys who often already have self esteem issues, it's really bad. When Andrew Tate says stuff like women won't ev… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/06/23 06:24 PM |
| 2 | CMV: RP strategies have become a pre-requisite for male success in datingIt would be great if we could be more honest. My sister gave me borderline redpilled advice and it actually helped me a ton. She straight up told me that I often come off as low self esteem and insecure, and that I sort of need to "fake it till you make it" if I want to get a girlfriend. She even told me to try approaching girls irl and asking them out, and to stop being so in my head worrying so much about offending them. Most women are not willing to say even that much. They will tell you a bu… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/06/23 11:50 PM |
| 6 | CMV: RP strategies have become a pre-requisite for male success in datingYa I agree with your post mostly. I just think that most of the RP stuff isn't necessarily bad or manipulative. I have never done the full blown actual dark triad stuff like love bombing, outright lying, or creating artificial drama. But stuff like pretending (or letting her know about these things if they are a reality) you are a dude with options, with other stuff going on in life, someone who sees himself as being on the same level or even above women, someone who's going to vet her as much a… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/06/23 11:18 PM |
| 3 | CMV: RP strategies have become a pre-requisite for male success in datingHow is it "rude" to stand up for yourself when a girl is acting flakey about a date? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/06/23 10:49 PM |
| – | A lot of men are jealous of womenWell daily it's not going to do anything. At that point you are just an addict maintaining your addiction. Remember the first time you took it how little anxiety you had? The first time I took a benzo I thought to myself "hmm I really lonely I'm gonna go talk to some girls." I was living in this student apartment complex and I walked around and talked to every girl or group of girls I saw. Literally turned me from having panic attacks from going outside to being capable of doing that. That night… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/05/23 05:18 PM |
| – | A lot of men are jealous of womenWomen (and men) can smell ANXIETY a mile away. Anxiety is an extremely transparent emotion. So the insecure nice guy timid nervous type of guy, that's what women can smell. I'm insecure as fuck, have been my whole life. But when I was addicted to benzos, which completely eliminate anxiety, I seemed to have so many fucking options its like I was living in a different universe. If you are insecure but not anxious, and you know how to watch what you say, the insecurity can definitely be hidden, at … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/05/23 09:01 PM |
| 1 | Is "trying" overrated?I know this is just an anecdote that everyone has and is a little overplayed. But I had a Hispanic roommate who was 5'6" and I would say average looking. So maybe 4.5/10 or 5/10 looks. I actually talked to him about tinder and he said he barely got any matches and he deleted the app, so I think Im rating him accurately. But he was more like 8/10 or 9/10 socially and he had some status. This guy had 3 different FWBs over the semester I lived with him. Heavy drinker, he always went to parties, and… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/05/23 10:13 AM |
| 0 | Is "trying" overrated?I think some aspects of redpill do work. "Holding frame" is low in importance on the scale... Can even an 8/10 guy get away with being a total low self esteem nice guy pushover? Will he be 8/10 if he is super skinny or not low bodyfat? Can a good physique, haircut, grooming, push a sub 8/10 guy to an 8/10 at least in the eyes of some women? Numbers game is also important for pure exposure. If only 3% of girls find me attractive because I'm not a Chad, well if I approach 300 girls that's still 9 … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/05/23 09:39 AM |
