23	How do you think women spend their time? You’re really missing out on the hot chips	/r/PurplePillDebate	30/06/22 03:08 PM
2	American Culture is Simultaneously HYPERSEXUAL and Sanctimoniously PURITAN You’re undermining your core point by ending with the age gap example. This idea of having two opposing attitudes simultaneously is not schizoid and is not unusual. In philosophy, Hegel called it sublation. Once you start noticing it, you see it everywhere except the simplest matters. There must be words in psychology or at least psychoanalysis to describe it, but i’m not aware of them. But you know how repressed or sexually abused people tend to be hyper sexual? This is the same thing but at a …	/r/PurplePillDebate	10/02/22 05:28 PM
2	Is it normal to feel guilty for wanting women? It's ok. I think you'll find women are ok, even happy, with you being attracted to them. Just put yourself in the situation where the accident can happen. If you don't talk to people, you're cutting out possibilities entirely.	/r/seduction	03/02/22 05:00 PM
1	When is explicit(verbal) consent ever given by women for initial intimacy(touching and kissing). Is this practiced in reality? It's on the one who's taking the lead to back off. If the woman takes the lead, it'll be on her.	/r/PurplePillDebate	26/01/22 08:40 PM
2	When is explicit(verbal) consent ever given by women for initial intimacy(touching and kissing). Is this practiced in reality? When people say "consent is sexy", they mean it literally. You lean in and say "may I kiss you?", then give a second or two of strong eye-contact while they answer, and you can drive the tummy-butterflies crazy. A "no" response also drives the tummy-butterflies crazy btw. You can definitely do it wrong too, "May I have the pleasure of kissing you?". Maybe ok in some other time period, cringe today. There is almost no condition in which she gives you explicit permission to touch or kiss her The…	/r/PurplePillDebate	26/01/22 06:49 PM
1	Is marriage worth it in today’s era? Yes. Strong intimate relationships make people happy. A stable caregiving environment is necessary for kids' mental health. These can be achieved without marriage, but the question was "is marriage worth it?" and for these, it is. The issue today is the pressure to get married before a certain age. This forces people to make bad choices. Whether monogamy should be part of marriage is something we can rethink, but polyamory or even more traditional polygamy or polyandry is not incompatible with m…	/r/PurplePillDebate	13/12/21 05:11 PM
2	My friend said I should treat women harsher…? TL;DR: Make them laugh. Forget everything else. So, this is a little complicated. Here's my leading question: How can she know if you're being authentic or artificially nice? "Game" is about communication. What (most) girls are wary of is a guy who is being fake in their appreciation because he wants something from her. It makes them feel devalued. "Nice" guys look like they're hiding something, and I'll venture to say they are. Being authentic is difficult and will take practice, so keep at it!…	/r/seduction	08/12/21 06:18 PM
2	Never had a girlfriend/never had sex. And it feels like I’m running out of time. Confidence is shot 28 is not that old. Men do not hit "the wall" and continue to get more "attractive", even if not physically, personality-wise and financially over time. Some people do also physically age gracefully. People try to avoid cliches, but they aren't bad. Hit the gym. Dress better. Focus on your career and hobbies and make genuine friendships with women you aren't dating. They are all at different places in their lives and their responses are often about them and not about you. On dating apps in parti…	/r/seduction	08/11/21 08:42 PM
2	Is it wrong for a woman to want to wait before having sex/stay a virgin now? I think the issue is how long you want to date before you want to get married. If you're only courting for three to six months, waiting till marriage might even have made things more exciting. If you're going to be together for years and have emotional intimacy but not physical, people --- especially men --- get resentful. They call it malicious or manipulative or whatever, but basically feel that they're being taken advantage of. Reg. hookup culture, have you ever heard a younger man express co…	/r/PurplePillDebate	26/09/21 03:18 AM
4	We are living in a sexual dystopia It wasn't legally enforced, but monogamy has been the norm for a long time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monogamy#Ancient_societies The historical record offers contradictory evidence on the development and extent of monogamy as a social practice. Laura Betzig argues that in the six large, highly stratified early states, commoners were generally monogamous but that elites practiced de facto polygyny. Those states included Mesopotamia, Egypt, Aztec Mexico, Inca Peru, India and China Both the B…	/r/PurplePillDebate	04/08/21 01:40 AM
5	We are living in a sexual dystopia I was talking about times well before the 19th century, even back to the ancient Egyptian times, who also practiced monogamy. The picture I was painting is definitely idealistic and I don't disagree with you overall, but in general, if you let your wife and children starve, they will die. Its only in the recent past, ie since the industrial revolution that we can afford to slack off.	/r/PurplePillDebate	03/08/21 08:54 PM
13	We are living in a sexual dystopia Our entire genetic history, yes, but in recorded history (say, 4000 BC onwards), monogamy has been more or less enforced by social, state and/or religious institutions. We can argue who really benefited from this: the men, the women or the state. Women had to be married to "low value men", but got a breadwinner devoting time and money to her children. Lower class men may not have had a mate at all without the system. Higher class men probably suffered but found a way around this by having concub…	/r/PurplePillDebate	03/08/21 06:31 PM
5	Women would be better people if they had to compete in dating like men do Wait, that's the point. Women are forced to compete on appearance rather than personality and skills and self-development. OP doesn't like this, I don't like this and (many / most?) women don't like this either. We need to change the system. Down with the patriarchy. OP must have realized after all these responses that women don't just "vet" people. They put in effort too. I speak only for myself, but I don't want women to think they need boob jobs and face lifts to compete, I'd rather they focu…	/r/PurplePillDebate	11/07/21 06:16 AM
3	Women would be better people if they had to compete in dating like men do There is a reason for this: women are judged on their looks. If we flipped the formula around and judged women on their personality (and many of us do), we can change this trend.	/r/PurplePillDebate	11/07/21 06:13 AM
17	Women would be better people if they had to compete in dating like men do All the answers here are the same: women do put in effort. That's right, but OP still has a point that's getting lost in the outrage. Women are FORCED to compete on their appearance rather than their skills and personality. You can blame the patriarchy for this, but the ultimate result is that girls realize very young that they need to focus on dieting and their appearance rather than developing their skills and hobbies, to the detriment of us all. OP is saying we should change the system and in…	/r/PurplePillDebate	11/07/21 06:12 AM
2	FDS women's overlap with mental health subreddits (and other interesting subs) If you make it through mental health crises, you can end up more resilient and more mature. Women, and society in general, do not seem to appreciate this. I wish there was more respect for men who have been through mental health crises. There are some great leaders: Lincoln, Churchill, most comedians, every writer ever, who were great BECAUSE of their recovery from mental illnesses, not DESPITE it. There is pity and sympathy, but it's still seen as weakness. > Like where the fuck does this idea …	/r/PurplePillDebate	05/07/21 07:54 AM
11	FDS women's overlap with mental health subreddits (and other interesting subs) has nothing to do with "dating" Men and women both face pressures from dating. And a toxic relationship can absolutely mess with your mental health.	/r/PurplePillDebate	05/07/21 07:34 AM
16	FDS women's overlap with mental health subreddits (and other interesting subs) Don’t disagree with your second paragraph, but what’s wrong with needing a strategy? If you grew up in a toxic environment, it stands to reason that you’d need help identifying and pursuing healthy relationships.	/r/PurplePillDebate	05/07/21 02:03 AM
5	FDS women's overlap with mental health subreddits (and other interesting subs) Can you do this analysis for mgtow and/or RP? I’d be really interested in seeing that. There are definitely biases where men may not post about their problems. But it’ll still be interesting	/r/PurplePillDebate	05/07/21 01:59 AM
5	Men get their nice guy ideas from high school movies and the anime harem genre. I have this ideal of a marriage where we’re part of one whole. There is no “my” in the whole, only “our”. We share our entire lives, including the bed, the house and the bank account, make major purchasing decisions together and never get divorced. This doesn’t need to clash with feminism, as long as it’s about equal rights and rejecting stereotypes regarding appearance, ability and behaviour. Having separate accounts feels like you always have one foot out the door. Having some independence to …	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/06/21 06:23 PM
