Yeah people can lie but there is some form of attraction behind friendships with the opposite sex.

I've noticed that girls won't make an effort with you if they don't find you attractive on some level. I've had no girls who are friends for this reason.

I think it's a good but loaded question. I don't think women have ever given me the chance to like them. They are always guarded in my experience. The few who have not been like that I genuinely like.

The you have to be content alone sorts don't really get the idea that you don't have to be perfect to be in a relationship and even at your best, relationships will endure tough times. You can be flawed and be and find love. However for some it seems that this doesn't work. They(we) have to reach a level of perfection before we are worthy. We just don't fall into relationships the way others do.

To be fair I did begin with the word sadly. I am having a hard time of late. I've never wanted a relationship more and have experienced a pretty brutal rejection recently where I feel completely rejected. It's like I have no hope of finding that person and this thread is in response to that. The guys I know who have girls obsessed with them completely objectify the girls they're with. Meanwhile me who leads with romanticism can't get anyone.
/r/PurplePillDebate04/01/23 09:41 PM

The guys I know who do well with girls dont put too much stock into them as people, they're interest in them is to bang them. They don't treat them bad but the sexual attraction is what keeps them invested.
/r/PurplePillDebate04/01/23 05:27 PM

It's not treating them like shit but as a prize to be won. Objectifying doesn't mean treating them bad.

That's what I mean. I can understand guys with bravado and gusto being fun to be around and I can see why girls are attracted to them but I don't see why they tend to have the monopoly over girls the way that they do.

Is it the bare minimum though? I contend that niceness is damaging more so than anything.
/r/PurplePillDebate30/12/22 04:50 PM

Sounds like me. Just know that it's not our fault. We're jovial sorts who love hanging out but we aren't great at leading it. I wouldn't be as obliging and passenger like as the guys you describe but I'd be mostly laid back about things.
/r/PurplePillDebate30/12/22 04:47 PM

But why is it weak? Its just a personality trait. Why do you need to be peacocking to get interest?
/r/PurplePillDebate30/12/22 04:12 PM

But its not about being a doormat IMO. Most interpersonal relationships don't revolve around conflict. You won't notice if someone is a doormat till later. Being nice is an energy more so then behaviours imo and the enetgy seems to not be attractive to women.
/r/PurplePillDebate30/12/22 04:00 PM

The problem with the advicebis that it actually hinders you. I know average guys that get girls/women but they wouldn't get them if they were good wholesome guys. Being unpredictable, brash, reckless all have helped them get girls that they otherwise wouldn't.

IMO, the nice guy is too broad a term. I think there is a type of guy who will find relationships hard despite having high levels of empathy and otherwise desirable traits for a relationship. My take is that there is a lot of responsibility dating a nice guy and girls have been conditioned to not be the ones who hurt the guy as all songs are about how the aloof Chad hurts the girl. I think it's the breakdown in the traditional dichotomy between the sexes that hurts guys like this. I believe the …

Nobody owes anyone anything. Attraction is attraction. There's nothing just or fair about it. You're attracted to what you're attracted to. You decide the trade off. Go after someone who is your exact type or lonely. There's nothing wrong with that. Everyone is free to do what they want and are also entitled to moan that people they like don't like them
/r/PurplePillDebate30/11/22 11:26 PM

Yeah bad boy is a swag and deamnour, not some hardened drug dealer. It's the opposite of the nice guy however for some reason the price bad guy does well but the nice guy doesn't.

Okay, I still contend its completely overstated here. Females is a neutral term, there was no bad intentions in my use of the word in the opening post. Signalling it out is stupid. Context is important. In the same sentence I wrote males when referring to men. I could day guys or lads but girls don't have the same collective word to describe them.
/r/PurplePillDebate09/11/22 03:51 PM

Will you stop. Females is used to refer to women and girls. I'm 33 so feels weird saying girls and women seems too formal.

yeah it isn't personal for me. That same person I'd smile at and hold open a door and chat to them but the thoughts of them in a sexual context elicits such anger in me. Interesting that's what you feel with the old pervs.

Stupid choice of words but they fill me with a disgust feeling. I think it's an internal thing though because it's like I fear this is what I'd have to settle with if I was to settle. I concede that and it's a horrible way to view the world.
/r/PurplePillDebate25/10/22 09:15 PM

Most people rightly are slaves to biology and will compromise but some of us just don't care that much. It has to feel right. We just don't feel strong attraction to most people. Like I love hot girls but I don't want a hot girl who I have no in with. I hate ugly girls so have no time to be with one. Everyone is different. Some people are more stubborn and selective. Some peopl3 just want to be loved at all costs.

Yeah I've noticed this too. But status can be local. In my country rugby is put on a pedestal and while the players aren't celebrities it's actually worse because they are just like elevated normies. At least with celebrities they live in their own bubble but these rugby guys exist as part of the overall society
/r/PurplePillDebate22/10/22 03:01 PM

Look at athletes. We give athletes status by investing in their careers and idolising them. This allows these athletes to climb the social hierarchy and gives the athletes access to riches(sometimes), social status and women.

Well by the very definition you notice people you consider attractive. I am pretty harsh I have to say but if a girl is slim and well out together she'll probably at least catch my eye. Too many girls are fat though or just unshaped whether through genetics, not caring or a combination of both.

Depends where you're from man. In my area everybody lifts. Lifting is just a basic requirement.

See the thing is not all averages are created equal. It's a micro battle of social status where every little bit counts. You could have two guys who look to have average staus but in women's mind they are calculating and deducting their own and the guys social status.
/r/PurplePillDebate20/10/22 06:10 PM

Yeah but I'd argue after a certain point it's hard to claw back. You really want to be getting into this stuff early. Lifting is different but I'm a bit pessimistic about lifting and it's role in attraction. Frame is probably more important.

Women are definitely visually stimulated. It's often bizarre the type of guys they like though. Its more physical, girls will really only comment on big rugby looking guys.

I'd imagine it might have embraced the reality that average girls don't have it great either. The problem though is that average girls tend to be girls who just don't stay in good shape for whatever reason. Any slim girl be it through exercise or luck will generally be considered attractive

People on reddit always give such a skewed insight into how most women think. Most guys I know who do well are just sort of loud, funny, irreverent. Earnest guys don't get the girls.

Great Post. This is a huge factor. My dad was a jovial yet serious person. He wasn't like your dad but he had that charm you speak of. The problem was that he suffered with whether or not he was a good person and while he was a slave to his impulses and character he could make his son not turn out like him. But he went too extreme and overly emphasises the importance of being a good boy. This was the highest thing I could aspire to in his eyes because to him success and failure were always close…

People are not rational. Lots of people don't want to be happy, at least all of the time. Anger is always irrational but we are irrational. A rational relationship is a dead one unless the girl has been so badly burnt that she just enjoys the boring consistency of a stable relationship. Girls like to moan and batch about their boyfriends, girls only leave beta guys.

Probably reflection of their parents values or something. My dad by his account anyway was a ladies man in his 20's and I always feel had a desire to experience the thrill of being with the opposite sex.However as he got older he was ashamed of some of the stuff he'd done which I gather wasn't all that bad tbh but he probably wasn't as loyal as he could be.

Personality is just how you project yourself to the world. Some guys are boring but have an energy while some guys are interesting but don't emit that energy. Whatever that it is, is ultimately the deciding factor if a guy is attractive for his personality or not.

I don't know if that's so true tbh. I'm also not saying hot girls/women get to set the agenda but to be fair, the women these guys get are probably top percentile. So it's a little bit coincidental that hot girls get with status gods if it's a case that status isn't important.

The guy should go for what he finds attractive but the invisible hand decides his faith. It's not because of the benevolence of the becky, stacy or lisa that some relationship is formed but out of the mutual selfishness to get the best that they can get. The type of people who tell the 'ugly' guy to settle just don't want to face up the chaos and harshness of dating dynamics.

People just want to feel like they matter, that their solipsism will be confirmed back to them, stop trying to make it something else.

your problem is trying to take what people are saying at face value. people are sad and just creating a narrative, all we all want is just for someone to like us, to experience relationships and companionship and romance and not to feel like we're shit.

It's more complicated than that. Like yourself, I dunno, maybe, there's something else at play. I think a lack of self-awareness really helps with women. There must be a high correlation between introspection and poor success with the opposite sex. I don't know why that is.

I don't know if standards are an issue; at that height you're looking to find a unicorn so you might as well just go after people you find attractive and hope somehow they had a childhood that means when they see a small little man it resonates with them and they feel 'home' in his presence.

Some women do seem to take up this role on here and try to act as if there is an overall fairness to the game but there is no…

One thing that Reddit(not the red pill) gets so wrong is this idea that 'good personality' men invariably do well while bad personality men do not. The problem is there are many personality types that would be considered good but still struggle to attract women. It's not so much you need to have a good personality, just one that meshes well with the female mind. I'd say the biggest thing is to not be nice. Niceness is like the worst thing you can do to attract a women, it just relegates you to a…

Halo Effect is incredible, even when you know its there you just can't help but imagine it like a movie romance. There's a calmness that comes from that sort of relationship that doesn't exist for the average guy, most of the time it's like fight or flight because attraction can turn off like a switch and you know there's always some other guy just around the corner.

We need to be clear about what a hot women is? Is it a bonafide knock out or just girls with good figures with varying levels of facial cuteness/prettiness ? It's so hard to know what people are referring to. My sis for whatever reason struggles with weight, she is a good looking girl and can carry it well but she could definitely be lighter. She puts such a premium on slim petite girls so even a decent looking girl is inflated in her mind.

Women with conventional good looks(and the bar is low, just slim and fit) don't have body issues. Flumpy girls who overeat/don't exercise have body issues and rightly so. Any girl I know who had a good figure was happy to show if off.

See part of the bullshit of love is this idea that it's two kindred spirits coming together for no other reason than some intrinsic essence causing each one to attract. When it's put out on the table we can all see the bullshit that is love. Lots of people never have to consider their attractiveness; they just get into relationships and that's that. This allows them to fuel themselves with the lie and myth on which love is built on. And I've been guilty of it too. When it works, it's lovely howe…

Just be slim. Height I am ambivalent about; my ex was 5'3'' and I am 5'8'' and I liked that as time went on and there was a certain harmony to the heights I felt but I liked her for her aura and face. I've liked girls taller. I don't think I'd go for shorter but then that's just in theory. I kissed a girl taller than me before, didn't look weird in person IMO. Again just be slim. I don't like the Kim K look or variations of it. However, I'd be attracted to it on some level, it just isn't me.

It's harder as you get older. I don't know where the alternative view comes from.

Women's preferences can be succinctly captured by big. Big dick, big personality, big frame, this all explains these looks imbalances. I know one relationship where the guy looks good but in an understated average way and the girl is a knock out. One of the hottest around and they've dated for years. It's probably the most wholesome relationship(from a guys perspective) but he might have a big dick for all I know and he was always a respected assured kinda guy.

He is like a caricature of the type of man who does well with women(not wholesome, bit of a bastard, thrill seeking ( but ironically funnily he is actually shortish.

tbf it's not that improbable. A girl I know was in his house back in 2014, not sure if he banged or not or if it was a rumour but wouldn't surprise me. The girl would have been out of my league but I'd know people who know her so while improbable and unlikely, something to consider. It's strange how interconnected the world can be at times.

The problem with education is that it's stuck in a sort of limbo. It was catered to a time when just achieving a level of education among the population was imperative for economic growth. Now we have achieved that so we are at an existential moment trying to move up the ladder of Maslow's hierarchy of needs on a civilisation wide level. I never get the taxes part, that shit is easy but relationships, raising a family etc. that stuff is difficult but we pretty much leave it to popular culture an…

Absolutely man. Weight loss success stories are for large framed guys carrying extra pounds, not guys like myself who are naturally lean. The gym makes no difference to me if anything it exposes the limits of my genetic potential.

True, I see why people think that you should just linger and wait for the girl but I think it misunderstands how attraction works. While online dating is a real thing that does seep into normal life, in actual reality it's not as simple as swipe right for the next better option. There's some truth to it but it tells more about the person giving the advice than the playing field out there.

Not ghosted ghosted but not how you'd imagine a relationship would end. It depends what you define as ghosted though. My ex did seem to just leave me without any natural break: one minute we were chatting normal and then she went AWOL for a week, replied once saying she hoped I was okay and when I confronted her said yeah let's end it. I don't think she would have told me if I had said nothing. We dated for a year and were through good and bad times, always saddens me that a the relationship tha…

For women, the relationship is the ultimate goal. The reward in her mind and thing she fears not getting is the relationship. I get though what you mean because in a way it feels like she is giving herself up for some jerk/some guy in her mind not worthy of a relationship. It depends on perspective really.

It's not that rigid tbf but it's just the guys with the big personalities.

Yeah that's what it seems to me as well. The good thing is as you get older groups don't matter as much so the alpha male matters less(at least in friend groups) as things become more diffused but at 16-21 this was a real killer. The alpha guy will still have his domains though. The more I see it the more it seems all these tropes about younger girls with older guys, hot girls with ugly guys, it all comes down to the 'alphaness' of the guy. Only alpha guys can pull this off.

I feel like an attractive guy though, especially when in a relationship so my attitude while in the relationship would have been more like, if I can attract x then I'm obviously attractive to loads of girls. I didn't think that 'I better hold on tight to this one', it just felt like a natural fit and I felt no desire to chase other girls. My scarcity mindset exists more so now, a year after she ended the relationship. But that's a key point, a girl outside of a relationship will probably still f…

Not true at all but I will say maybe the fact that options are more limited for men is what causes this difference.

Absolutely. I think girls have more of a fantasy about relationships than guys and I say that as a (former) hopeless romantic but whereas guys probably just crave unconditional love, women want something much more elaborate and idealistic. I'll use my ex as an example(again) An overall nice person in many respects but instead of just judging me on my own qualities, I was always compared to this ideal of masculinity, perhaps her first love, the image she had fabricated of the biological dad she n…

I don't think it's that bad. My ex always paid her way but always I got the impression she could just jump to anothet guy. This is a toxic mindset to have tbh and achieves nothing but once you start thinking about it that's it. It's super important to maintain frame as much as you can so this type of thought process only makes things worse. Awful

Status doesn't matter for me at all tbh. I never once considered it a turn on. The only time I consider it a turn off is if the girl implies that she's low status and talks about how other girls(which means conventionally attractive) care about such and such but she doesn't.
/r/PurplePillDebate25/10/21 09:37 AM

It's a bigger problem than people think. It also shows the power of status on a more local level. The guy doesn't have to be Louis CK, just moderately known and respected. I don't know what to do with this information, it just makes any relationship feel fleeting and shallow.

Interesting man. Yeah, these things are weird. We all have our flaws and it seems you guys had one of those rare connections.

Man that's my ex too.

Happened to me. I loved having sex with my ex she was the bomb but I just have some issues with erections. Then when I get erections I can't nut. We had some great sexy time but was few and far between and it was never certain when I'd get a boner so killed the mood. We lasted for a year but probably only had sex 10 times I am sad to say. If she was less pretty I'd still feel bad but at the time I felt awful and I knew it caused her insecurity.

I honestly don't believe it either. It might be possible but there would need to be a very weird set of circumstances for it to be a reality. I was in a college dorm in 3 european cities, I lived with good looking guys, I saw them bring over girls but they were never on rotation, there was no harems. These were handsome guys and they probably could have pulled your girlfriend if they wanted in the right circumstances but there was no real sign that they had unlimited girls on tap on a weekly bas…

Yeah legit, the way my relationship ended was weird and I feel can only happen when there isn't a natural female male dynamic where the girl just basically shuts off completely and ends it. I know with my mates who are more traditionally masculine their breakups have been more normal where they did something the girl breaks it off, they do something to change, the relationship has a dead cat bounce where they get back together and then something happens and it's over. Mine ended much more abrupt…

I have never understood it but tbh I don't feel like I'm like most of my mates. For me sex has always been about acceptance and feelings of being worthy, whereas for them it seems more about the actual act itself. I don't know if they have esteem issues, I don't think they do so sex is probably just a sensual pleasure whereas for me it's confirmation that I am attractive, desirable, worthy etc.
/r/PurplePillDebate24/10/21 03:29 PM

It's an awkward one because while I would hope we are attracted to our looks match, it doesn't seem that this is the case. Ugly people don't find other ugly people attractive they just know realistically this is the best they can get. I don't even think it's done like a cost benefit analysis, they just know over years of social conditioning what their level is.

There's no point. This is why it's important to have dating experiences young(25 is young but you've formed your preferences by then) I would have been much more open at 16 or 17 to dating certain girls than I am now. When you go so long without a relationship you have much more to lose so you're less inclined to just get into a relationship with anybody. It's bad but just how it is. I couldn't have sex with a girl am not attracted to that's the first huge issue with this. It doesn't matter if p…

Yeah legit. It's one of those things am not bitter about and actually I did try to be more like what you describe but the problem was my ex noticed it early and could never let it go and she probably knew I was on the extreme of the passivity spectrum(not always purposeful) so even when I did try call the shots she knew it wasn't really something that came naturally to me. We live and learn. I have no problem with traditional roles, I didn't really succeed in living up to the masculine ideal in …

Wow. So well said. My dad was a bit of a 'waster' in his youth, not loyal, slept around, cheated. He passed away 2 years ago but when he had me he didn't want me to be anything like him. What happened was he effectively morphed me in a way that took away the boy in me, like I played sports and stuff but his obsession with me being good drove that masculine quality out of me especially when dealing with the opposite sex. Through his signalling any desire I internalised as being corrupt or bad or …

Amway, she lost it, you can't make a decision, why can't you take the lead etc. This was our first fight and this lasted the duration of our relationship, anytime I didn't seem completely hellbent on something i…

Depends on physical bone structure. Only small guys can be gym rats. It just looks different when a taller guy hits the gym and a shorter guy does. One seems athletic and the other looks like he's coping. Just how it is.

I'm gonna say one thing is height. I think short women generally are happy with guys who are shorter, not 5 foot 1 short but short relative to other men. I don't think it has the intoxicating hold over women that it is portended to. I've even heard my ex say 'no that's just too tall for me' and the guys were like optimal height by my reckoning. Maybe she's with a 6 foot 4 guy now, I dunno but she was 5'3' and her ex before me was like 5'7''(I''m 5 '8' and she once asked me 'am I too small for yo…

Most people come to this realisation but enough people are dumb enough to fall for the idea that you can have sex without intimacy. JBP is a quack in many ways but he's right when he says you cannot separate the two and we shouldn't want to. We have to give things value, so many seem hellbent on removing our humanity from us. Sex should be something that we hold as sacrosanct, it doesn't mean there's only one person who you can love or that one sexual partner for life should be the norm but we n…

Nothing is ever that black and white. I have friends who fit the description, they're bad guys in some ways, I have friends who are always single who are better guys objectively(more genuine, honest, kind) than these guys but it's the 'bad boys'(who have perfectly good qualities) that have been with girls, doesn't matter if it's a relationship or nightclub hooks up, they've had the monopoly.

The problem is it's all about perception. I am not agreeable in many aspects(for instance I a contrarian by nature and go against the grain, things like BLM, LGBT, I have strong views on these movements(rightly or wrongly) but in one on one social interactions I am, I just prefer compromise and this is seen as a weakness.

Sure I get you. But that supports my point about how these pretty arbitrary preferences become ingrained. Suddenly, men with height and dick are perceived as high quality mates. I know they might always have been but it becomes a hyper competitive dating market where those with the perceived valuable feature end up at the top of the pecking order. Having said that, I'd still find my ex for instance hot if she had a bush down there. I don't think it would influence my overall attraction.

I think my bias watching the movie is an aversion to hook up culture.

Sorry, I didn't mean I am as handsome as him hahaha, I mean I'm roughly proximate to the type of guy he's meant to be in the film. Standardly handsome, nothing particularly stand out though, I think when he imagines himself as Harrison Ford when he's high on life indicates that in the world of 500 days of summer, he's a standard good looking guy. In reality, JGL would be the best looking guy you'd see on a typical week in most area.
