I haven't considered it, but I would probably be for it since I could have my plushies on my bed rather than having to put them somewhere else

You are absolutely right, I was one of these foolish naive dudes my freshman year of university. I literally let one of these Queen Bee types test her stick & poke tattoo set on me in hopes of getting some 🤦‍♂️

Perfect example! As for me, I have relapsed into a terrible cannabis addiction, and despite the occasional want to not be addicted, I very much enjoy replacing the crushing sadness I feel at night with marijuana fueled joy so I don't stop.

That just sounds... awful. I'd rather fall in love with a single mother, at least then it sounds like she likes me for me.

I honestly don't know how to feel about this. I was raised by my father to expect to carry on my genes, and if I don't, then I fundamentally failed him and my ancestors. It would be hard to come to terms with failing my father in exchange for a romantic relationship.

If you would have read this thread, then you would have realized this isn't about getting pity for men due to them not having partners. It's about developing a more emotionally aware culture where men can care for each other, so they don't end up adopting these unhealthy coping mechanisms & extreme ideologies.

I was in a friend group like this actually... at the end of the day I had to not be friends with either person. With this being a person outside of my friend group, I'd be okay with taking her side blindly in the name of love. However, it's still a thing where in the back of my head I would wonder.

I don't know... Please correct me, but is this saying that men need women & kids to have purpose? Because if so, I don't understand why that's the case. I also don't understand the part about the "unconditionally love women gene"

I mean, if a person only has room for one SO (assuming they aren't poly), then it would be replacement. The first guy is moved out of the SO slot, and another person enters that slot.

That sounds confusing. Isn't "faking it" inherently to fake it beyond your capabilities? If I had those capabilities, I wouldn't have to fake it in the first place.

I think it has something to do with how back in the day, women were expected not to work or something, and thus the less taxes would compensate for having to pay for the existence of two people on one income. Maybe it's outdated, idk

I don't know how to interpret this tbh. Are you saying that the concept of "leagues" is a model that shouldn't be used? Or are you saying that only men are affected by that model? (And if so, are you saying that's a good thing or bad thing here?)

"But men don't want to help with it either, they're not going out and trying to find more men to hang out with" This is actually what I am exactly suggesting as a solution
/r/PurplePillDebate08/05/25 01:24 AM

That’s actually a great point. Historically, men had more access to structured, purpose-driven communities (monasteries, fraternal orders, local clubs, even union halls) that provided a sense of identity and belonging. A lot of that has disappeared, and not much has replaced it. Reviving that kind of brotherhood, not necessarily in the same forms, but in things like community, accountability, and emotional connection could be a really helpful step toward addressing some of the isolation we’re se…

I actually agree with a lot of what you said, especially that this is a broader loneliness epidemic, not something men alone experience. You're absolutely right that women shouldn't be expected to "fix it" for men, and that the responsibility for change lies with men themselves. I made a couple points on that already if you'd like to go see them here What I’m trying to highlight is that the exact issue you mentioned in your second paragraph, that beimg toxic mindsets like some men developing hos…

Oh, I'd say yes. Some examples that individuals can do include developing hobbies & platonic relationships that help bring purpose & fulfillment in your life, that being said; there is still the inherent social obstacle that is, "men don't often get the ability to be vulnerable/emotionally open."
/r/PurplePillDebate08/05/25 01:06 AM
4

I'd argue that the deepest issue with men's lack of relationships isn't about sex (as some others have already pointed out "singleness ≠ sexless"), it's more so about vulnerability & the ability to be open w/ their emotions. Men don't really have that ability in platonic relationships and instead rely on a romantic relationship to even begin to approach levels of emotional vulnerability. Thus, the solution likely isn’t a single intervention, but a cultural and interpersonal shift built around ma…

All great advice, but no matter how fulfilling I make my life for my own self, there are still moments where I am left with no other option than paying a prostitute just to cry into her arms.

I'm pretty sure we understand this, and this understanding definitely fuels feelings of male loneliness
/r/PurplePillDebate07/05/25 08:49 PM

I actually agree with a lot of what you’re saying, especially around outdated models of masculinity and how men are often measured by their desirability to women. That kind of cultural messaging does damage, and I think part of the solution is giving men healthier ways to define their self-worth outside of romantic or sexual success. Just to clarify though, my point isn’t about entitlement or seeing women as rewards; it’s about addressing emotional pain and isolation that, when left unchecked, c…

I hear what you're saying, and I don’t want to minimize the historical and ongoing struggles women have faced by bringing up this particularly male issue. Plus, I do agree with you that men should seek therapy and self-help, not to get a partner, but to become better, more fulfilled people. But this is a societal issue that should be addressed collectively, where we all support each other in becoming the best versions of ourselves. It’s not about one gender’s struggles taking precedence over ano…

I agree that personal responsibility plays a huge role. No one should expect a partner to be "obligated" to them, and it's important for individuals to work on themselves and improve. However, not all men are in the same position; some face unique challenges that can make the process of forming meaningful connections more difficult. It's not about forcing anything, but about creating a society where people have the resources and support to overcome these hurdles, whether it’s social awkwardness,…

This is exactly the kind of nuance I was hoping to bring into the conversation. You put it better than I could 👍; acknowledging the struggle without excusing the toxic mindsets that can come from it
/r/PurplePillDebate07/05/25 06:40 PM

At this point, I feel like you are ignoring what I am saying. Again, just to clarify, I’m pointing out that certain ideologies, when left unchecked, can lead to harmful behaviors that negatively affect society as a whole. The aim here is prevention; to understand and address the root causes before they escalate. Is a sign that says "Not wearing a seat belt can cause you to get hurt" a threat? No, it's a warning of a possible consequence.
/r/PurplePillDebate07/05/25 06:31 PM

Which leads to increased isolation, hostility, and even harmful actions toward others. In the worst cases, it contributes to real-world violence and societal division. These ideologies can create cycles of resentment that negatively impact not just individuals but communities as a whole. That's the nature of the warning. My goal is to highlight these patterns so we can avoid them, not to incite anything harmful.

The consequences I mentioned are the adoption of unhealthy coping mechanisms & extreme ideologies.

I think the experience of loneliness can be very different for men and women due to social and cultural factors. While both can face isolation, society tends to treat men and women’s struggles differently. For example, women are often encouraged to seek emotional support and are more likely to have strong social networks to turn to. Men, on the other hand, are often socialized to suppress their emotions and may be less likely to seek help, which can make their loneliness more acute and harder to…

Regarding misogynistic attitudes: yes, there is data. A survey conducted by The Big Issue found that one-third of young men have a favorable view of Andrew Tate, and a quarter agree that feminism harms society. Research from Dublin City University revealed that within 23 minutes of using TikTok and YouTube Shorts, young male users were recommended misogynistic content. After approximately 400 video views, 76% of recommended content on TikTok and 78% on YouTube Shorts included misogynistic attitu…

Describing a risk isn’t the same as making a threat. If someone says untreated mental health issues can lead to harmful outcomes, that’s not threatening anyone; it’s a warning of a preventable consequence.
/r/PurplePillDebate07/05/25 06:01 PM
4

That’s a fair question, and ideally, yes, people would rise above emotional pain and stay decent no matter what. But for some, chronic loneliness and rejection can really distort perspective over time, especially when paired with things like the internet. It’s not about excusing harmful beliefs. It’s about understanding what makes people vulnerable to them in the first place. Most people aren’t born bitter or hateful; they get there gradually when emotional needs go unmet, and there’s no support…

You're right that loneliness and social exclusion aren’t new, but what has changed is the scale, the visibility, and the feedback loops created by modern technology. In the past, loners or outsiders didn’t have instant access to global communities reinforcing their bitterness or encouraging harmful ideologies. Today, algorithms can funnel vulnerable people into echo chambers that normalize despair, self-hate, or even violence. Also, the social structures that used to provide meaning or connectio…

As for how society should “fix” it, i dont think this is about handing anyone a partner. It’s about creating a healthier cultural climate around loneliness, mental health, and relationships. That could mean more social support systems, better education around relationships and communication, and less shaming of men who open up about their struggles. We can't “solve” romantic outcomes for individuals, but we can make it less likely that people spiral into extreme ideologies just because they feel…

I don’t want to overstate the issue like it’s the sole focus of society’s attention. However, while it may not seem like a big deal to some, the mental and emotional struggles that come from chronic loneliness or rejection can be profound for those experiencing it. Even if people don’t "care" about individual cases, the rise of extreme ideologies rooted in isolation is something society should care about because it affects public discourse, social behavior, and even public health in subtle but s…

Ok, that's legit, but that can still be invalidating. Being told “just work harder” can feel like a dismissal when the barriers they face are structural or emotional, not just about effort. My point is that, whether it’s “just accept it” or “work harder until you fix it,” the underlying message is "you’re on your own," and when people feel alone and hopeless, that's when unhealthy worldviews take root.

Fair point, makes sense to ask for numbers. But we do have growing data on things like increasing male singleness rates, declining relationship formation, and rising reports of loneliness and mental health struggles among young men. As for whether it's a “societal issue,” I’d argue that anything affecting a large segment of the population’s emotional well-being, social functioning, and long-term mental health is worth paying attention to. This isn’t about entitlement to sex; it’s about the effec…

I guess it's more so about being acknowledged by other people, and since people can't see inside my mind, my outward appearance is the initial determining factor in whether or not I'm acknowledged

My family & the people I call my friends don't talk to me unless I talk to them first. So it feels like my existence doesn't matter until I make it matter to them. I don't think I understand how an online community would do more than it already does. I will say that it seems to help, but not in a deep way. I am considering therapy in general, but this goes back to the issue that my existence only matters in so far they can benefit off of it.

What if it's not so much about sex as much as it is having friends? I understand that people don't have to be friends with others, but eventually not having someone to talk to gets to a person's mental health I think

Thx for the advice, but I do. I go out and do my hobbies. Socializing is definitely nice, but I'd like to not feel invisible when I'm not out of the house. At the end of the day tho, I should probably just work on my ability to tolerate existing alone.
