Yeah, I think it's the reverse gambit of feminism. Many men became "aware" of our plight or sympathetic, but there isn't really a way to enfranchise women without disenfranchising some men. It's not a zero sum game - but at least some men will lose to help bring about equality. There isn't a "solution" to feminism any more than there is a "solution" to... masculinism? Is that a word? Well. Except maybe sex robots or something.

No he didn't. Number one, the narrative is just a straight lie. Number two, if he really could land that many women by changing profile pictures, he wasn't having a problem feeling desired at any point in his life. What I'm trying to tell you is that even in this fantasy scenario, the output it a lie. Women casually sleeping with you will never feel the void in your life or the feeling that you have that you have never been desired. It is not a men vs women thing. If you try to emulate this made…

That's.... that's a lot of women in 6 weeks. I think you're saying it as a "good" thing, but at least to my eyes it comes off as an "unhealthy" thing. Did you not want anything more serious with any of them than sleeping with them? I mean...I guess it's an ego boost? But for me, even if I landed the hottest guy possible, if I knew he was sleeping with me because I had essentially tricked him and done some sort of mating signaling or something.... I'd feel pretty hollow pretty quickly. Like, he d…

I think some (many) people have the perception that being nice to women is not just a non deal breaker if you're rich (which in itself is a huge problem).... But that bring arrogant/ mean to women actually helps you get women. And there's an entire pick up artist industry behind this. With millions of viewers.

Hello bad at math! How many generations of infinite growth do you think it takes before the whole planet is sunk? Maybe, maybe the Earth could sustain one more round of breeding to get you your pension. Is that what you want? Get a pension, die, then let the world blow up, screwing over all those kids you thought were so important? Are you literally just having kids to sustain yourself?!? World population in 1950 was about 2.5 billion. Now it's 8.2 billion. I don't know how old you are, but at t…

This is absolutely insane. Take a look at any data. Birth rates plummet once a country becomes modernized - and by modernized I mean get out of starvation and access to birth control. The only reason families had so many children in the past was extremely high infant mortality. Given the choice, men AND women will almost universally choose less children that all live instead of more where half of them die. It's a bizarre artifact of disconnected, first world, puritan U.S. that anyone is even que…

Wait. What? I'm so confused. I didn't disagree with any of your data. I'm sad that I didn't have those sexual experiences and your proving me wrong doesn't help my emotions - but me being sad doesn't mean I disagree with you. When I countered that I did believe those numbers, I was saying I did believe them before. Now that I've seen your numbers, I don't believe the old ones anymore, and am worse off emotionally for it. Also, the data from 2005-2011 isn't saying that young people aren't having …

First off, since you seem interested in actually reading and posting the studies, here is the one I was basing this off of: This study from 2022 Here's some of the relevant text: >Uecker and Martinez (2017) collected data via an online survey over a six-year period from 2005 to 2011.

I think you just hit the nail on the head. There was an amazing South Park episode where they declared the average penis length to be 1 inch. Suddenly every guy is happy because everyone has an above average penis length! I honestly think 'Californication' is one of the most important songs ever, and the line 'hard core soft porn.' It's not (just) the overt pornography that worms its way into our brains. It's the subtle messages, the ones that slip by our unconscious defenses. When every actor o…

That's really interesting to me, because that seems inherently untrue. >there's no amount of being a wonderful guy that will get you laid That's not the alternative. *That's the exact mentality of worthiness = sex.* That's the mentality right there. Exactly! That somehow if you become more 'wonderful,' get better social skills, more money, dress better, the list goes on and on, *then* you will finally get laid. So guys on here seem to start out being taught that they need to be "nice" and "respe…

Yeah. Yeah this, exactly. Total disconnect. It makes me wonder if it's something in men's psyche that makes them feel they have to 'earn' sex, and then they project that onto women as 'they must be trading their sexuality for cash.' Because it seems mostly unrelated to reality / women's actual thoughts or opinions. Exactly like you said: *Even when all objective evidence points to the opposite!* But it seems way too widespread to be a specific influencer or something.

Funnily enough, I think you absolutely hit the nail on the head. I wonder where this mentality comes from, because it seems to be common in a lot of men, even pretty "good," attractive, in-healthy-relationships men. Like, I've seen men together with their spouses for years suddenly feel like they don't "deserve" sex or that she will leave him because he lost his job temporarily or something. Like they have to "earn" sex, or prove their worth constantly. In other words, it seems to be something e…

I don't think it's even the wealth. You have to be a certain type of psychopathic narcissist to truly feel like you're 'winning' by paying for love. Like paying a pornstar with campaign funds while your wife is pregnant. That's the Christian candidate, right?

Because people are: 1) extremely bad at reading themselves and their own needs. 2) base their self worth on non objective things. The problem here is how you are not defining "benefits" - and honestly how no one does in real life either. If by "benefits" you mean the tangible things like living longer, overall life satisfaction, survey data, sure, men "benefit" more than women. Maybe. But who cares? Why is a 20 year old guy going to care that he'll live to 88 instead of 78? Or that his back will…

I don't even know how to respond to this question. Yes? Obviously? Conservatism is a made-up term just like Republican or Democrat, but they are essentially interchangeable. You can come up with whatever magical personal definition you want for "conservatism," but again, it's all made up. What does it even mean? Conservative? Does it mean more limited government? Then why have "Conservatives" been trying to enforce their morals on others since time immemorial, since it was even defined? Does it …

He's the leader of the conservative party. As you can see, the Republican party has redefined itself and the definition of conservatism around him. Who cares if he fits the old definition of "conservative?" If the ultra popular (in conservative circles) President can't be called conservative, no one can. Your argument is the very definition of "No True Scotsman."

Hmm. Maybe. But the opposite was true as well? Some women chose other men later in life who were not "chosen" earlier. Maybe after some life experience they found there were other qualities they wanted in a man more. I think if you want to prove the 80/20 thing, you have to create a falsifiable hypothesis. Too often here, I see what I would call retroactive causation. In other words, using "logic" to find a way to make any situation fit their narrative. I.e.: Evidence 1: a woman chooses a man wi…

I guess my experience is that we tend to write off people who fail to make good decisions or friends as "terrible people," which is exactly the problem that leads to this sub. I mean, yes, maybe they are terrible people. But why are they terrible people? How do we fix it? I've heard a billion times in my life the message that "men are pigs" or "gross" or "pervy." Okay? The message seems to be that men somehow chose to be the way they are, universally, which is a weird thought. Maybe the answer i…

I've seen both I guess. Lots of women I've known married a guy who had kids already, and maybe wasn't super interested in having more kids, but it was really important to her that she get "pregnant" on her own and raise kids that were "hers," not birthed by someone else (even if the step kids were going to be living with them full time). I've also met women who really wanted a family and a guy who could raise kids with her, but weren't interested in getting pregnant again. (Generally women who h…

I'm curious - why do you think men don't build those relationships with friends? I'm sure I could come up with a lot of reasons why an individual man or woman does or doesn't do that behavior. But if it's statistically men as a whole? I don't know. It seems weird.

Holy shit this is some genius level comment. Thank you for putting those ideas into words!!! One thing I've struggled with - how? It's like trying to not be anxious. You can know you shouldn't be so anxious, not want to be anxious, be sure there is no logical reason to be anxious - and still be a quavering basketcase! How do you think one "decenters" themselves from the opinions of other men (and women)? Especially without becoming disconnected completely?

Ah, I see, at least a little better I think. Thank you, and thank you for continuing the discussion! If I'm understanding correctly, essentially what you're saying is that expecting men to develop and understand themselves to the point that they find some super-secret internal validation need that is masked by their desire for intimacy and sexual validation is a futile quest, and ridiculous to expect of the average man. And more or less equivalent to asking women to give men sexual intimacy and …

Good point. It can. But if sex truly were the thing men were looking for, couldn't it be filled by self-pleasure? There seems to be some other form of validation men are looking for.

You got that backwards my friend. Sexually immature people seem to have these hang-ups and fantasies about what sex should be, and this guilt/anxiety about what masturbation is. To be fair, culture/religion probably drive a lot of that. It's when you get older, have a lot more sexual experience, that you learn to be okay with masturbation, sex toys, having *funny* experiences in sex, times when you laugh because someone just farted or their dong looks funny in their new underwear!

I knew a guy who was married for twenty years. His wife was super horny, all the time, but he just got bored of her after 20 years, wanted a younger, "newer model." That sounds like a tale as old as time, too - in that I mean I don't think it was just this "one guy." There seems to be something more than "libido disparity." A guy can be horny in general, but bored of his current spouse.

This overall seems like a fairly sane take. I suppose I'd agree with almost everything here, nice write up :). Sure, by itself, attractiveness makes for an easier life. In some ways. In the end though, I think the main determinants of our happiness are 1) At least fulfilling our basic needs per Maslow 2) Our genetic predisposition to be 'happy' 3) Most important: learning to accept ourselves as who we are That last one is a big one. That's why, in some ways, high attractiveness or wealth or what…

Too true. Candy without substance, rewarding in the moment, but leaves you hungry. Except I guess I disagree with the 'chads running through his future wife' part. Why would I care who else my wife has slept with in the past? For that matter, the future? I want my wife to be happy. If that's not with me, I'd much rather she find someone else.

I don't understand your comment at all. I'm totally fine with sex dolls and sex robots. But I don't think you even have to wait for that. If you're willing to be kind to yourself, you could probably have a fulfilling masturbatory sex life today.

Sure, I'll grant you that. My argument is that you probably *do* have the option to be promiscuous, if you start looking at the bottom of the social ladder.
/r/PurplePillDebate04/06/25 11:20 PM

I'm the opposite. I don't think I ever had a hookup opportunity (or I was way too entrenched in my religion to even consider them - thinking back there were a couple times, were I a different person, I could have probably "hooked up.") Also, I was completely surrounded by virgin women. At least, I think so. Go to any Mormon community, I'm sure you'll find a million. There's a price to pay for that though.
/r/PurplePillDebate04/06/25 11:18 PM

Sure, and I think that's one of the things women don't understand. They know men like sex, at some level, but I think it's unthinkable to them that men genuinely want sex more than friendship. On the flip side, I think women want the pair bond more. So neither side ends up happy, because the man is just "faking it" (the bonding/friendship part) like you said to get the sex, and the woman is "faking" being into the guy to get the friendship. And eventually you can tell.

I'm talking about masturbation for the 'easy access to sex' part. It's incredibly easy. And if you don't beat yourself up about it and just enjoy it, can be just as stimulating. I also think you're right on that second point: men *do* want someone who lusts for them more - or at least they think they do.

That's a really profound question. To me, it matters, because for maybe all of us, the true secret to happiness is being simultaneously happy with what we have and working towards realistic goals of improving. We all have goals. We all work on them. If we all work on unattainable or unhealthy goals, then all of us are miserable. And I think it's a gross disservice to us all if we spend our lives and our precious energy pursuing fantasies that wouldn't even make us happy if they came true. Or fan…

What? Of course they aren't. And I didn't say anything about just being yourself (though I don't believe there's literally anything else you can be - but then again I'm a determinist). But if your point is 'are developing large social circles and sexual success intrinsically linked'....I guess that's harder to argue now that I think about it. I suppose that's the classic "friendzone" conundrum, or women finding one set of characteristics appealing for mating and another set for pair-bonding. Sti…

My experience is different than yours, I guess. I have not seen very many, if any, people who were miserable alone suddenly become happy once "pair-bonded." At least not for more than a year. And usually much less than that. Again with the food analogy! I don't think that's correct, but I'll try it anyways. Let's say sex is food - a biological imperative that you need to be happy. *You can still get food without a partner.* Let's say jacking off is plain rice or something. Keeps you alive, but n…

Agreed completely! If anything, I think the whole discussion avoids the 90+ % of women that aren't supermodels, and that most of the "Red Pill" men would immediately find dating success if they did nothing more complicated than actually look around the room for the "invisible" women who aren't getting all the attention. That being said, I also think its disingenuous to say there aren't mating, desire, and sexual availability differences between men and women. I got hit on *all the time* when I w…

You're welcome! Only because I really didn't understand your point, so I didn't think it would contribute to the overall discussion. Help me understand. Why is it a one-way street where women should avoid such men, but men themselves shouldn't also seek more stable relationships over sex?

Uh...okay. I mean, I probably do have a bunch of feelings bottled up. But I thought that was exactly what I said in my post?

Quite possibly. I'll be honest - despite dwelling here for a while, I still don't have a firm concept of what the Red Pill, the Blue Pill, the Black Pill, or honestly any of the pills mean. I'm familiar with the original scene in the Matrix, but the meanings seem to have drifted so far from the source material that I have no idea what they mean.

Maybe. Research seems to show that women in general are *far* less concerned about physical appearances than men are. I guess what I'm saying is, in my experience, I've met a lot of men like you who say what you do. But, again, in my experience, what they're really saying is that women *that you find attractive* don't find you attractive. And, again, in my limited experience, if you simply broaden your search pool to truly fugly women, you will 1) develop friendships that will significantly elev…

That's a good point. Maybe that's a big part of the conflict. For men, sex is really important and rewarding, so they see that as the big reward, and get jealous/pissed off when they see some men getting the sex with hot girls and not getting the "cost" of having to commit. For women, maybe the sex is not as big of a deal, they are the sexual selectors in our species, so they have to be much more careful about a long term mate. They may see the long term mate as the bigger "prize," and so be sur…

Sure, but ironically I think most men would have reasonably attainable access to sex if they didn't focus on it as much, and focused on friendships instead. Girls are attracted to really big... social circles. And the confidence that comes from not being so desperate.

Maybe. But single example case studies tend to be (ironically) statistically more convincing than, you know, actual statistics. It's easy to criticize. I could throw up 25 pages of data, and you could easily say "yeah, but that doesn't apply here because _____." If you want to debate, put your money where your mouth is and offer a counter theory or data, instead of just dumping on my "logic." What's your alternate theory?

What you are saying is certainly a common narrative. I just don't think it's true. It's like the idea that the ultra wealthy are ultra happy. In my experience, not true. Poverty is no cake walk. I've been there. Having money is amazing! But there comes a point where having too much money and fame actively breaks you. You say it's just one guy with a drug addiction - I don't have the exact statistics, I don't know if anyone does, but the Rockstar lifestyle that seems to go hand in hand with attra…

This is a really good point. Thank you for adding it!

Maybe. My experience has been different I guess. I don't think the two things are unrelated. I think those hot guys who can have tons of casual sex who then struggle with long term relationships have self-imposed problems, sure. But I don't think one can have tons of casual sex and then transition easily to a LTR. It warps your brain. Like, the "self-imposed problems" are 90% tied to the sleeping around mentality. But that's just my experience :). You may be a lot more privy than I to the sex li…

I dunno man. I once heard the advice, "If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife." Maybe try looking for super ugly women? They usually have huge self esteem issues and might be more willing to have sex with you and enjoy it if that's all you're after.

What a fun discussion! I wonder too if it isn't a reinforcement of that good feeling of overcoming that inferiority. Going through the same process, and rising above it and "achieving" so to speak Or even the complete opposite: Maybe there's comfort now that you are a self-assured adult in giving up all that and just letting someone else take over. Or...maybe that brazen confidence was so alien to you as a child that you still can learn a thing or two from having someone else adopt that mentalit…

"It's not about how fast I get there. It's not about what's waiting on the other side. It's the climb." -Miley Cyrus Such an inspirational quote. Unfortunately, it now gets conflated in my head with Littlefinger's "only the climb is real" speech. Oh well. 🤷‍♀️

Thank you kind stranger!! I'm sure that's a big part of it. But one thing I find fascinating, is you can find one of Elon Musk's former spouses on Quora, and she I think hits the nail on the head for his psychology. Her words are better, but basically her message was, at a certain point, "It's not about the money. At all." For Elon that really makes sense, as there have been times he's the richest man in the world, so there isn't really someone "more wealthy" (at least technically, Im sure he st…

Mm. Yes. I think I agree with 99% of what you're saying. But having seen and worked with people from the very bottom to the very top, I'd say that, yes, life is undoubtedly easier if your "stats are high enough"... but most of us are wired to be essentially unsatisfied no matter how much or how little we achieve. For an interesting topic of research, check out "hedonistic adaptation." For an interesting podcast on the subject, there's an episode of "Heavyweight" that interviews the electronic mu…

That's definitely one possibility. I've heard that same sex relationships have about the same divorce rate as heterosexual relationships. Except M-M marriages have, perhaps surprisingly, a much lower divorce rate than hetero couples. Whereas F-F relationships have a much higher divorce rate. It could be women just get dissatisfied more easily. Or I'm sure a number of other explanations. I would agree though, that divorce rates increasing over the past 50 years probably has a lot more to do with …

I'm 100% sure women feel this way too, and have for a long time. Millions of stories of women giving a man their whole lives, 20 years of taking care of the home, raising kids, etc. Only to be dumped for some vapid 20-year-old as soon as the guy doesn't have to pay alimony. Like everything you believed gave you worth is suddenly unimportant compared to youth and good looks. Your entire relationship, all the conversations, decades of shared experiences, all casually tossed aside for a curvy ass. …

This is really true, but I think there's one even higher point. I think OP is vastly overestimating how many of these hypothetical women there are. I don't think it's OPs fault. In fact, I'm pretty sure the music industry in particular manufactures Katy Perry's and Sabrina Carpenters and G-Eazys to plant this idea in your head that everyone else is a sexy baby having great and casual sex with supermodels all the time. That shit sells because people are lonely and want the fantasy - but it's no m…

I mean, you gotta fight something. "A man does not fight to win. It is better when the fight is in vain." -Cyrano de Bergerac I think that was the point of the movie Serenity too.

Too true. Even more than that, the prevalence of blatant sexual assault, cheating, and dehumanizing women among the ranks of the billionaires shows that most men will go right back to that state if they get the chance, even today. But I don't think that's every man either. I've met some that seem to genuinely care. I suppose two things can be true at once.

Maybe it's the Autism speaking, or maybe the constant childhood trauma of being physically and emotionally beaten down by these humans that are supposedly so great, but I don't really find it sad? Who cares where the intelligence or love or connection comes from? Who decides what is "artificial" or "real?" Didn't humans design the AI in the first place? Doesn't it tend to reflect us and our values more than anything right now? I enjoy connecting with other humans, often in a way AI can't replica…

I mean...yes? If your attitude is as you described than no, of course not. But that's just it. A belief. An attitude. So much of life is people telling other people that things aren't "real," or they "don't count" - and more often than not it's an insecurity in the person saying it. An LLM absolutely does have a concept of attractiveness. You can't put your PP in it. And yet that's what's been taking off. Not the blow up sex dolls available for decades. Because, at the end of the day, that's the…

In the derogatory parlance of the youth, I believe they call it 'pussywhipped.' It may be fun to be single and free, and sure you have less obligations, but if my experience is anything to go by, the older single men I know envy the stable relationships of their married peers. Hard to say what the reality is. The grass always appears greener to both sides I suppose. Many older married men long for the freedom and lack of commitment and responsibility of the single life too. Some men and women id…

To be fair, that's a whole animal kingdom thing. In fact, most animals we just slaughter 95% of the men because they get angry, ornery, aggressive, etc. Bulls, Goats, Roosters, etc. Pets we castrate. I try not to blame men or women for who they are and can't help being - of course, it's hard if not impossible to actually be that detached when it personally affects you. But I do believe that there's a special type of hell in being the bad guy. I don't think most men want to be aggressive and ultr…

I guess. I've met a lot of famous people in life by now, and I don't think being famous or getting a bunch of awards makes you a good person or fun to hang out with. I don't think he's actually "above" anyone's level. I wouldn't date him. And if my gender were reversed and I was him? Again, I would take an emotionally satisfying long term relationship over a string of shallow girlfriends. Maybe that's just not what does it for him...or maybe he really can't form an adult relationship because he'…
