I am thinking of joint ju-jitsu soon. That sounds like fun. I believe that you are what you attract. When someone smiles back, you know that a little piece of you resonates within them as well. Wishing you the best!

Everyone has different reasons for waiting. Let people live at their own pace. Some 20-somethings aren't ready to handle a commitment. In my 20s, I was a depressed late-bloomer with low self-esteem, and had trouble juggling my school & work schedules. Dating felt so out-of-reach, and I stayed a virgin until my early 30s. I'm glad I waited, because today, I'm in a much better place to be in a relationship. Commitment is something you give to another, and it takes a certain level of maturity and s…

Some 20-somethings are simply not mature enough to handle a commitment. In my 20s, I was barely caught-up with my school & work schedules.

I admire how open you are to strangers. It takes guts and self-assuredness. There will always be people in this world who are not open to our advances, and that's totally fine. Some women have poor self-image and complimenting them brightens up their day. Others won't react so kindly, but with experience, you'll be able to tell whether or not someone is approachable by reading their body language. Music concerts & exhibitions are good places to meet people. I also recommend joining a community c…

I just saw this WSJ article and thought of you: Officials in Vail and Nantucket — two of America’s wealthiest vacation spots — are fighting to free up homes for locals. It’s paywalled but here’s some insights that point to one interesting reason behind the housing shortage: “Vail, at an average elevation of 8,150 feet, is surrounded by the White River National Forest. “We might as well be an island,” says George Ruther, the town’s housing director, who is charged with finding places for middle-c…

Sorry for the late reply: I’m 38 and definitely have morbid moments. I witnessed my mom and her friends go through menopause awhile back and it was a reality check. Libidos change and bodies change, and it’s totally okay!

Sorry for the late reply. About regret: I don’t think about it much. What happened has happened. I can’t change the past, so all I can do is to make the best of what’s already been built. How about you?

I see where your fear stems from. Try seeing it this way: weren’t all locals once immigrants themselves? Why not build more housing and free up the many vacant units being used as investments and Airbnbs? There is plenty of space and housing units in this country. The real problem is that housing becomes capital, just like every other asset in our society.

It seems like all you do on this sub is defend your own mental positions. There’s no attempt at empathy or camaraderie. It’s not conducive to friendship, if that’s what you’re looking for. Sorry, but like your other respondents, I no longer find these conversations to be fun or satisfying, as they’re predictably critical and one-sided.

Academia largely ignore misandry. As feminists don't think its really a thing. Perhaps misogyny is a more urgent topic of study because historically, it has incited physical violence. Hardly have I heard misandry result in extremism, bodily harm, and homicides to the extent that we have had with the latter. All sexism can lead to abuse, but on a whole, misandrists have been relatively less violent compared to misogynists. Some people argue that misandry is a response to misogyny and vice versa. …

From my observation, talking about sex & relationships is avoided amongst men working in large corporations. The more professional the setting, the more professional conduct is expected, I suppose. That being said, tight-knit work groups tend to gossip more. My boyfriend used to work in a busy kitchen at a restaurant. Those men & women gossiped about relationships all the time! That gossip often continued after work at a bar. I've seen men open up to women rather than other men. Male workers see…

Some discovered that they actually prefer to have minimal social contact. Nah. I came to that conclusion during the pandemic, also from reading about modern social phenomena such as the Hikikomori in Japan. I’m also an introvert and so are most of my friends. The pandemic simply made introverts more introverted. My boyfriend and I have greatly reduced our social circle since 2020. That year, we met up with 1 friend IRL.

I think we've landed on a point here: Some men don't like women, and they're happily single. When u/nexkell says "men", he likely refers to "I" or "men like me".

If you think about it, misandrists and misogynists truly belong together, because they are perfect opponents. Without the others’ opposing views, discourse would end. In order to fuel their respective causes, they must continue the conflict. They scratch each other’s itch like no one else can. Perhaps you’re looking for someone to perfectly oppose your views so you can bounce back with perfect retorts. I am not that person.

Hahaha, of course I’m going to make presumptions about someone who enjoys making negative generalizations about the opposite gender online. Online misandry & misogyny are subcultures that the academic community vigorously studies, and they have assigned certain stereotypes to its participants. Look it up. It’s up to you to break out of them. My boyfriend recently opened up to me about how he used to hang out in these circles and that he decided to leave. I learned a lot about the “manosphere” fr…

It sounds like you feel held back by your past experiences, many of which were negative. I believe that who you are: the true you, is much more than the sum of your experiences (or lack thereof).

I also believe that when someone truly loves you, they will accept all of you, including your past, as I'm sure you would do the same for her.

That’s basically every woman in the modern world. If they're in their 20s, they're likely experimenting and not in a mindset to settle down. I actually avoided dating until my 30s, because the hook-up culture in my 20s was too much for me to handle. It wasn't easy, but I'm glad I waited.

I have an anecdote: Before we met, my boyfriend used to be more resentful towards women and frequented masculinity forums. Somehow this changed after we got together, and he no longer participates in those spaces. His feed is now made up of sports, politics, and awesome animal videos which he shares with me.

I strongly suspect this user is monitoring us on a burner account, as my previous post was down-voted even though it is against r/PurplePillDebate rules: Stealth-downvoting you might call it. This makes it impossible to report rule-breaking to moderators. Folks we may be witnessing para-social passive-aggressive behavior!

It's likely they've created a new one by now, seeing their post history was relatively short compared to the history of disputes & abuse that they disclosed to me earlier. We'll never know how many burner accounts they've used, and it's not my place to find out.

If someone tells you that they're repulsed by your religion, I'd call it religious discrimination. This is different from religious disagreement. If someone holds different views, but does not attack you for having yours, it is not discrimination. There is nothing inherently wrong with being religious. It's the people who use religious dogma to attack others who are dangerous.

Aye, this is exhausting. Your attacks were objectively personal in nature, and subjective in allegation. Take note how they all began with "you": ​ You see interracial dating and marriages as inherently problematic and you are seeking an explanation to help you cope with that. But the fact is that support for interracial marriage is growing in America and the vast majority of people approve of it now. ​ You should really reflect on why you have such a problem with interracial dating.

Lol, putting on shoes now. Has it crossed your mind that both Asian men and Women can be bad, and in different ways? We are imperfect humans. Sometimes I'm bad. Sometimes you're bad. In this case, pointing out the observed flaws of a certain group of people becomes self-reflective practice. I see flaws in me. I see them in women around me. And this is okay!

So I think this beauty standard you're mentioning is a recent thing and a social construct. Beauty standards change throughout time. White people have colonized most of the developed world, and their aesthetics have dominated pop culture since the advent of mass media, likely owing to US allies winning WWII and the creation of Hollywood. Today, a good number of people in Asia get rhinoplasties, blepharoplasty, and jaw-shaping surgeries to create a more cosmopolitan look. I remember my classmate,…

A pedestal moment as in East Asian women are currently popular in the media and in dating circles. My boyfriend claims that they're the most sought-after in the dating market. I can't back up that claim, as I haven't dated much. Maybe I'm the exception, but I've always bonded with Asian men IRL. Guess I'm outside this online gender/race war. It's a vicious cycle of hate. Honestly a lot of it doesn't make sense to me, and it's safer to observe from a distance. Maybe it's just karma playing out. T…

Yes, financial education is important for girls. Unfortunately we live in a capitalistic society where every penny counts towards survival. If you can't fight the financial system (even though it's corrupt), you can only use it to play to your advantage.

And that's why I'm saving. My boyfriend isn't a saver, but that's fine. We keep our accounts separate. Have you ever met a woman in working in finance? People simply have different perceptions of money. Speaking of housing: buying a house is often out-of-reach for young Americans due to inflation. My grandparents could buy one for $100K. Today, the average price in my area is $1.5mil. A lot of young people have given up the dream of home ownership and are renting instead. In cities, they commute…

"Money is the root of all evil." -Paul the Apostle I have 5x savings compared to my boyfriend. I am very frugal. He dabbles in sports betting, gadgets, and male jewelry. It makes him happy, so why not? You have one life to live. Spend money on the things you need & enjoy, whatever these are. You can't take money with you to the grave. Have you ever watched the Christmas Story? Poverty of the spirit is worse than poverty itself.

Arranged marriages work only if they're consensual. I've had several Pakistani roommates and coworkers from traditional families. Here are their stories: "A" was married off by her family at 17 to a retired Pakistani general. She was straight out of school and has never entered the workplace or seen the world. However, she was a highly ambitious student and wanted to study abroad. This was impossible as she was now dependent on her husband. Over time, she tired of her stay-at-home lifestyle, and…

I'm glad you know your type. If you're religious, lots of people meet their spouses at places of worship such as church, temple, etc. Traditional women will tend to have different hobbies than you, so you're less likely to find them in STEM or male-dominated workplaces. You're more likely to find them doing caring & services jobs, perhaps in teaching, hospice or retail.

Also historically, Asian men in the US have been seen as competition by white men. The earliest migrants were humble & extremely industrious. For example, Chinese migrants built up all the railroads in the US for little pay. They were taking so many jobs to a point where the US passed the Chinese Exclusion act in 1882 (now repealed). Don’t get me started on Japanese internment during WWII. That’s for another time. There has always been stigma towards Asian men taking on leadership roles. This is…

Hey no problem, I enjoy this conversation as well. Like you I got into the rabbit hole last year and was fascinated by this Reddit phenomenon. I remember a term they used, “Boba Liberals”, referring to privileged, whitewashed Asian Americans who only identified with Asian aesthetics, but ignored the problems in their greater community. They trolled female journalists on Twitter, calling out their articles as being biased against Asian males. I think this was one of them: https://www.vogue.co.uk/…

I’m from Silicon Valley, a racially diverse environment with a large Asian population. My childhood friends were East Asian, Indian, Middle Eastern or White. In high school, everyone tried out dating different races. White boys were relatively more athletic and therefore more sought-after by girls of all races.

I’m not European, but Asian American who has had roommates from East Asia, India, Pakistan, and the Middle East, and am highly attuned to traditional wedding customs in non-European countries. Sexist customs still persist today, especially amongst the impoverished. Here are some of the stories I encountered: I had a Pakistan…

That gender expectation needs to change first if you want to make any progress. That defeatist attitude is gonna get you nowhere. Don’t like the rules? Do something about it. Complaining to me isn’t going to change anything for you. Rally other men and reach out to those with influence and in power. That’s what women have been doing for hundreds, if not thousands of years in order to gain access to public education, the right to control their earnings, own property, and the right the vote.

Elon Musk is autistic (Asperger’s) and he seems to be doing not-too-shabby in the dating market. So is Grimes. I’m not saying their high-profile relationship has been a great success, but they do have 3 children together. Here’s a list of autistic celebrities. Some of the most powerful & influential men in history are on this list. Lionel Messi, Bill Gates, Albert Einstein, the creator of Pokémon.

Historically, men always had the option to stay single. Single men were not ostracized by society to the extent that women were. In the past, women were often sold off as brides and traded around like property by their families. Some even to this day. The option to not marry is a fairly new development for them. The progress made for women in the past century has been monumental.

Having unprotected sex increases your chances of getting an STD. Having unprotected sex can also make you pregnant. Just have protected sex and get tested, for God’s sake, or abstain. It’s not just Syphilis, but Herpes & HIV. These are incurable diseases that stay with you all your life. Many STD transmitters are dormant carriers that show no symptoms or fail to disclose their disease to their partners.

Historically, Asian American men have been culturally emasculated. It’s not their fault. Just look at how they’re portrayed in the media. Some Asian American women just want to “blend in” with other Americans so they adopt their dating preferences as well. It’…

To each their own. Skinny people are less likely to judge each other’s body type, and vice versa. For example, if you’re a “big” person whose only attracted to skinny people, you can be sure that the skinny person is judging your body in silence. If they haven’t, it’s because they’re willing to look past appearances and don’t want to hurt your feelings.

Least-flawed does not equate unflawed. A fruit salad with only 2 types of fruit is better than no fruit at all, but it still isn’t what most people would consider a “fruit salad”. A better gauge of intelligence would be through observing conduct in real-life scenarios. Does this person treat others with empathy? How efficiently do they deal with responsibilities? How do they problem-solve when responding to conflicts, emergencies and crisis situations? And so on… How & where you apply intelligen…

Yes, we’re living in the Wild West of facial recognition technology and there aren’t a lot of laws & or regulations surrounding it, so nobody knows for sure what’s okay or what’s not.

Knowing they are flawed, IQ tests should not be used to quantify a person’s intelligence. Also, some people are simply better test-takers than others. No one is “too smart” to become someone’s romantic partner. It is what skills are lacking that become issue, such as lack of empathy, interpersonal skills, or survival instinct. Intellectual ability is a bonus.

That’s a very considerate way to go about it. I’d do the same. People snoop all the time. At work, we used to browse the Instagram profiles of prospective hires. Nude pics were a definite no-no. If an image is made publicly available, then it is publicly open to scrutiny.

Let’s start by saying that IQ and intelligence are not the same. IQ measures a particular segment of human intelligence: Mathematical logic, word recognition, recollection speed. Human intelligence spans a much wider range of skills, including real-world problem solving, survival, hand-eye coordination, creativity, kindness, empathy, people skills, the list goes on. It’s more likely that high IQ scorers spend more time cultivating their mental skills, which means spending less time socializing a…

Yikes! I feel like most fathers would love custody, but some simply cannot afford child support, or don't want to bear that financial burden.

Besides, it doesn't sound like you're attracted to her either, as you described her as "schlubby". Are you sending her seductive vibes, or are you actually slightly repulsed by her appearance?

Another factor to consider is Menopause. A woman’s reproductive hormones start declining in their 30s. We become mostly infertile by our late 40s to 50s. A decline in sexual desire is to be expected. Men on the other hand, keep producing sperm until they die. Their libidos see a much shallower decline. This is why you still see old men fathering children into their ripe age.

Sounds like you’re quite skilled at this! It takes finesse to juggle multiple potential partners, something our ancestors were not used to. All social media apps are designed to scroll infinitely. Doing so maximizes engagement by creating the illusion of unlimited possibilities, encouraging users to “keep looking” instead of “settling” with their current options. And since there are more men on apps, women have more options, and so are more likely to “browse”.

You do realize that social media platforms like TikTok employ algorithms that encourage extremist content, right? Viewers are more likely to react to toxic posts, which is why these get bumped to the top of your feed. It's a negative feedback loop: The more you react to negative content, the more of it you'll see. What we perceive as "society" on the internet is completely distorted by algorithmic optimization. I recommend reading Jaron Lanier if you'd like to learn more about this phenomenon.

Hahaha, I was just at the San Diego Zoo. It was so crowded, I wondered if the animals were really watching us. A lot of couples start to "let themselves go" after kids, unless they're very wealthy and have live-in nannies. Otherwise it's all sacrifice for the kids while they suck all the life force out of you. I did see a middle-aged man looking adorable in a Gengar Hawaiian shirt. Probably did it for his kids as well!

Life is a journey to spiritual awakening, and everyone is on their own path, going at their own pace. You did not waste 3 years of your life. Those 3 years allowed you to realize that this was wrong for you. By finding what made you unhappy, you learned to define what truly made you happy. The power of Now is only available for those who seek it. Keep in mind that awakenings happen in their own time. You cannot force it upon others.

The beauty industry sets the standard for Women to look a certain way to be acceptable by societal norms. The bar for beauty is artificially raised.

I'm glad you're opening up about this because while the consequences are becoming more common, people rarely discuss it in public. SSRIs and birth control decrease libido.

Otherwise, they may come to the wrong conclusions.

Sure. All sperm comes from a man's testes. Sperm are not life as-we-know-it. They are cells carrying genetic material. Life as an organism begins as a fertilized egg within a woman's body. The sperm enters the unfertilized egg and unites with it to become a Zygote, which then undergoes mitosis to become a human embryo, and eventually a human fetus. That whole process takes place inside the woman's womb. Separately, eggs and sperm are brainless, single-celled organisms.

True. And how lucky! Rational thinking focuses on what we already know, while irrational thinking puts faith in the unknown. Both are needed for innovation.

Yes totally. When some friends visited S. Korea a few years ago, they were shocked to see billboards advertising plastic surgery with huge before & after photos plastered on them.

I chose to point out sexual dimorphism in Nature because it is without artifice. These are innate traits that get passed on through sexual selection. Humans invented the beauty industry. It is a completely artificial construct. You can’t inherit cosmetic alterations. You are lying about having “good genes”. To reiterate my question: Why did women start using cosmetics to alter their mating potential, and since when? Also, historically, why have we stigmatized men for employing the same device?

The incentive is for males to stand out so they can compete with other males. That’s why male animals strut their goods and often fight to the death over mating rights.

That's very true. Personal quirks are clumped together into "vibes" and become commodified. When I go to Spotify for example, I can instantly find a pre-made playlist that encompasses my personal tastes which took years to develop. I don't feel that special anymore.

She said, "Lol, that's okay" which I see as a fairly neutral response. Sounds like you are worried about being judged by her, and maybe you feel embarrassed about something that you enjoy. She hasn't openly judged you yet, and I won't be judging you. You have done nothing harmful to her or to me. Some people will judge you, some won't. Don't let it get to you.

Happiness cannot be found in others. It comes from within you. When you are attracted to someone, you see something that you perceive to be missing in you. Perhaps you even see a glimmer of yourself reflected back at you. And you want it. Physical attraction inevitably fades over time, but it can be surpassed by a deep respect for the other person's being-ness. Then, having sex can feel like giving and receiving a beautiful gift.

So what you're really alluding to is "low or non-existent sex drive". Neutering on the other hand is a sterilization surgery given to male animals, like young dogs, at a medical facility. Have you also considered poor diet, poor mental health, and the now-widespread use of SSRIs as causes for low sex drive?

Here's my take as a middle-aged woman in a LTR: (Sometimes) men get burned and ghosted by (Some) women for displaying weak emotions (in response to a particular situation). From my personal experience, when I can sense a guy is hurting or showing "weaknesses", I'll ask him what's wrong. If it's my partner, I'd probably give him a hug.

"it's more so compete with other human men" That is definitely still alive and strong, hahaha.

What's fascinating is that our primal instincts have survived thousands of years of human advancements.

As a 36 yr old woman, I see the gender typecasting that you write about starting to fall away. When you spend years being intimate with someone, the facades start to come down.

Kids nowadays are also more gender-fluid, so effeminate qualities in men are increasingly seen as the norm. People will change when the rules change.

Yes, in East Asia, more effeminate men are often perceived to be more attractive. Aggression is less of a desirable trait there. Cuteness is highly valued. Even in the wild. For example, some female sea slugs choose more feminine-looking mates. They feel reassured by their physical similarities and their docility. Big, aggressive males just scare them off.

I hope you found your pen! I feel like a lot of folks on this subreddit are horny and male, so it's hard for them to see otherwise. Some may have been deceived by women who claimed they were horny when they weren't really. I'm one of them. I feel guilty, but it's easier to be pleasing than to deny my partner all month long.

Same. I am not horny 26 days out of the month. I pretend to be for my partner because it helps him to feel more loved. I am not horny right now.

Women rate men harshly because, at a primal level, we are judging them for their viability as mates. Those requirements vary from person-to-person, and by culture: Feminine features can convey sensitivity, youthfulness, grace, but also immaturity. Masculine features can convey intensity, drive, bravery, but also aggression. To each their own.

I was in an all-female department at an art school with a ~70% F/M ratio. Some of my classmates became bisexual. As far as I know, they are all with men now. For them, it was a matter of circumstance and a desire to experiment.

I saw the gay penguin couple (Rio and Eduardo) at the San Francisco Zoo. They're great parents too apparently. https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2019/06/20/same-sex-penguin-couple-san-francisco-zoo-model-foster-parents/

Bringing more children into this world eats up more of its resources. Higher population = Higher consumption = More environmental degradation. I believe history is cyclical. Society is in constant ebb & flow. Not too concerned. Also, birth control is great. I no longer have to have 3 abortions like my mom did because my parents weren't ready for a baby, or 8 kids like my grandmother did because she had no choice.

The pandemic sure made it easier to stay indoors and a lot more convenient to order fast food. Even pets are obese. You can always do the opposite: Go outdoors and eat less fast food.

I've watched a lot of nature documentaries. Male creatures tend to force sex upon the females and have little or no investment in childrearing after the female gets pregnant. I have yet to see a female creature force sex upon a male. Biologically speaking, females are pickier about sexual partners because just having sex once can result in pregnancy, which is a huge investment in time, energy, and resources. Wouldn't every female want the best for their new family? I don't think we've evolved to…

Well, it depends on how many women are seeking a mate. If a woman is not looking, she will be seeking out 0% of the men. If she is looking, it depends on whether she wants a short-term or long-term partner. If she wants a long-term partner, she'll go for the 10% because they won't die quickly. It's relative to a woman's needs.

Emotions can increase Empathy, which helps with relating, social bonding, caring for others, and creative endeavors (for women, that includes creating more humans). ​ Crying can help release repressed negativity which is great for mental health. Anger can release pent-up energy which seeks to be let go off. Joy just feels great, and it's infectious so you can spread it to others. I've seen both men and women unconsciously repress their emotions by excessive exercise, harboring resentment, harmin…

The risk of pregnancy, STDs, physical pain, rape, and potential violence is always in the back of women's minds. Look in Nature. Nearly all female creatures are this guarded.

There's no right or wrong, it's just culture. I didn't grow up with that vocabulary so it surprises me when I hear it. I did have gay colleagues address me in that way, and I assumed that was vernacular. Guess I'm wrong.

Though fun to do virtually, in reality, no. It took Billions of years of evolution for the universe to create You, a variation of its manifestation. That's too special to just throw away.

Sorry, still trying to work through that generational trauma. I think it may be cultural too. My parents were immigrants, and where they're from, men dominated women physically, emotionally, and financially. Though imperfect, there is much better gender equality here in the U.S. As a consequence, the standards for men also became a lot higher, sometimes unreasonably. The fact that you said "everyone should do what they can for their family" would bring a tear to my mother's eye.

So, if all women want resources from men, and few men have a lot of resources, as resources are limited on this planet, wouldn't be easier for women to gather the resources on their own? If a woman has built their own wealth, status, and power, what do you think they would look for in a man?

Exceptions: Before my parents divorced, my mom worked 3 minimum wage jobs while my dad refused to work full-time or be outside the home. She gave him all of her income and he didn't budge after she was mugged on the street. He withheld her spending and didn't let her buy a winter coat for her night commute. He didn't do certain things. She called him "less than". I think that's pretty justified. My partner and I both lost our jobs during the pandemic. We're both unemployed, live with parents, an…

Brings a tear to my eye. All I can see in these pictures are genuine-looking souls that I hope will all find somebody to love and be loved. One thing I noticed is that a few of the girl's pictures may have filters applied to them, which I didn't notice on any of the guys.

We're spending more time in front of a screen than ever before, just like we're doing right now. The pandemic also drove a lot of people indoors for long periods of time. Long screen time + Social distancing = Enjoyable social distancing. Maybe some people grew tired of that and are starting to head outdoors,

I have never hooked up in my life. If anyone asked me to hook up, I said no. Anecdotes: I met my now 4-yr partner online, and we didn't sleep over until the 5th date. We're monogamous. My friend told her now-husband that she doesn't do polyamory as indicated on his then dating profile. They are now monogamous. There may be someone out there for you if you're willing to keep trying.

When I was single, I was rarely approached by men because as my now partner puts it: "You looked unapproachable." Looking back, perhaps it was my all-black outfits, lack of smiles, or exuding general anxiety that comes with living alone in a big city. Who knows? Places I did get approached: Parties, classes, public parks, sharing taxis. A simple "Hello" brightens up my day. Catcalling, though, makes me anxious because I don't trust strangers and what they might do to me.
