| 1 | Men Love Objectification, When it Benefits ThemOh ok whoops mb | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/06/26 05:45 PM |
| 2 | Men Love Objectification, When it Benefits ThemThis just in: people take advantage of the leverage that they possess regardless of gender. Women have the leverage of being perceived as more physically attractive, so it's beneficial for them to maximize that leverage by using makeup to improve their outcomes in life. The same way men rely on their finances in 3rd world countries to improve THEIR outcomes in life. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/06/26 05:40 PM |

| 39 | If you could be born as a woman instead, would you?I think that this question depends on a lot of things. If we're living in the west and I'm genetically weak, I would rather be a woman because there is generally more socialized support and community that is available for women to make well-informed decisions. If we're living in the west and I'm genetically strong, I would rather be a man because women carry more reproductive burden and genetically strong men can usually acquire socialized support and community.

| – | CMV: Penis size does matter, bigger may not always be better but smaller than average is a dating death sentence.Same thing with height theoretically, but it's only a death sentence if the qualities in characteristics such as penis size, breast size, height, or face are important enough to the relationship that it becomes destructive. I don't know many women will tell you that they would break up with a man for not having a "specific axis of pleasure from penetration". Is it ideal to date a man that can't please you in that way? Probably not. But "death sentence?" There must be some other reason other than… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/06/26 12:04 AM |

| 2 | Most people need to experience casual sex, especially men.It only matters if overall confidence is contingent on being desired sexually. It would make sense to be confident doing something that you're good at, and not being confident doing something that you're bad at. So I'm not sure if people "need" to experience casual sex, rather their quality of life would on average be worse. The "love and connection" tier of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs I would imagine is more difficult for men to acquire, just like how the "safety and security" tier is more diff… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/06/26 07:32 PM |
| 1 | So why did western men “allow” women to have rights anyways?Literally every person alive as different experiences. Everyone. I don't think it's meaningful to stress something that is inherent to all humans. It's true that everyone has different experiences, and it's also fair to say that it might not be necessarily meaningful to apply this broad of a claim onto social behavior: So when I consider equal relationships, I consider individuals who have the least differences in experiences. I fully understand that all of human history cannot be summed up in a… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/05/26 01:47 AM |
| 1 | So why did western men “allow” women to have rights anyways?I didn’t ask about whether men could share in all the exact same experiences, including the physical experience of childbirth. You’re being a bit obtuse here. You accused me of straw manning the argument earlier, so I was explaining why the argument that I made pertained to the question that you asked earlier, which was: Do you think western women essentially forced western men into being more permissive against their will through their enhanced economic power? Or is it the other way around— tha… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/05/26 09:54 PM |
| 1 | So why did western men “allow” women to have rights anyways?I will not claim it was full equality by any means, but western women were not slaves and they were not property. They absolutely weren't slaves, but just because they weren't slaves doesn't mean that they weren't considered property in the west. Whatever the woman owned, so did the man. Everything that the woman did was facilitated legally by the husband, because women didn't have legal representation apart from marriage until Coverture was established in the 1700-1800s. If "property" is just t… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/05/26 07:25 PM |
| 2 | So why did western men “allow” women to have rights anyways?That’s a reasonabl thought, but I’ll push back on it. Western civilization has been relatively permissive of women for a pretty long time. In particular, western women were generally not forced into marriages against their will and had some limited rights and protections well before technology like the pill. I was under the impression that the basis for western civilization has been through the marriage, in which the woman becomes property of the man. They even take the man's last name because i… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/05/26 01:32 AM |
| 1 | So why did western men “allow” women to have rights anyways?Off the top of my head: introducing technology and innovation introduces convenience and optimizes life experiences, which allows both men and women to become more independent from one another and compensate for their individual weaknesses. When women have greater access to things like birth control, advanced weaponry, and social technology, they outsource the purpose of being in a relationship with a man. If men want to have romantic relationships with women, but women have the power to resist … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/05/26 12:48 AM |
| – | I genuinely think men’s preferences and standards are shamedI would imagine for the same reasons women's preferences are shamed among men: it implies that you aren't good enough or valuable. I think that among women there is a greater emphasis on inherent value despite flaws as you said, and the destruction of that belief creates insecurity. If you didn't already believe that you were worth something (many men), not being seen as valuable would matter less. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/05/26 10:43 PM |

The same reason any contextual information matters. Like if a man had a criminal record and didn't disclose it, they could very well be a potential danger to the safety of the woman.

| 0 | The manospheres biggest lieI would agree that having children and being single aren't things that women are specifically concerned about, but I would argue that women derive more economic and social power from their appearance than men do (and that gap is decreasing), which can often be qualified by the partner that you have and the children that came from you. While women might not want children and partnership more than their independence and careers, I would argue that they are actually evaluated and valued based on th… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/05/26 04:38 PM |
| – | When a woman a man is dating starts losing interest, the best thing he can do is detach and stop caring.This seems like a good strategy to help the person who has decided to end the relationship move on, but that's it. The other person moved on already, doing the same is just fine. We do this with friendships and other relationships all the time without explicit closure. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/05/26 11:34 PM |

Usually being ambitious, self-centered, etc. But "brainwashing?" That implies some kind of malicious scheme that doesn't align with my understanding of the current economic climate.

| 2 | Men need to start leaving women alone.This is exactly what RP says. Stop chasing, become someone who gets chased. When you drown anyone in attention, the interest in you suddenly becomes abundant and their attention is lost. But when interest is scarce, your attention is more valuable because it is more rare. This is true for both genders, hence why you saw the "I hate my wife" in the 60s when everyone was getting married. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/05/26 08:45 PM |
| -1 | Many mothers condition their sons to accept being seen as a resource by women.If mothers conditioned their children to "appreciate who they are," it would incentivize the children to be complacent with their current abilities. Which would stunt their growth. It's reasonable for any parent to want to motivate their children to grow. Otherwise, you risk the chance of the child's potential growth and happiness becoming stunted. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/04/26 02:20 AM |
| 2 | Men are coping too much about women who don't desire themUnrelated to the post but I'm in the exact same boat every single holiday.... There seems to be more competition and lack of connection between men because of lingering jealousy or withdrawal whenever a date or a woman is involved. It just creates more division between people and perpetuates the loneliness everyone feels. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/04/26 02:02 AM |

But yea it's absolutely true that even if "early on" is relative, it's still true the more interested she is, the earlier on she will want to hook up. I absolutely agree with that. I just think that the timing looks different per individual for how "early on" the timing is. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/04/26 03:26 PM |
| – | “I like to take things slow” usually means she’s not that into youThe only point of contention here is "usually" i think. It seems obvious to me that the less interested someone is in you, the more they will consider alternative options in case you aren't compatible. The less compatible, the slower she likes to take things, usually as a safety precaution and to protect their own time and energy.

It's equally true for women: "women will treat you as poor as you let them." It's true for any organism that wants to maximize energy ROI.

| 1 | Dating older men (like 10 plus years older) is simply a bad deal for most womenIt's often a natural arrangement out of necessity, especially in the past because older men retained their reproductive ability and were usually better equiped than younger men to deal with survival stressors, but the current social climate no longer requires the abilities that men have in general. Such as physicality or maintaining family security.

| 1 | Men could literally wake up one day and repress all the women on earth, men have 0 reason to be upset at women's behaviors.In that case it's not meaningless.

| 4 | Dating older men (like 10 plus years older) is simply a bad deal for most womenEveryone declines with age, but older men have the capability to provide more for their partners in many aspects. Emotional security, resources, breadth of experiences, etc. It's true that as women become more independent and therefore less reliant on marriage as a method of survival, the capabilities that older men can provide are less valuable. But this doesn't mean that older men are a bad deal for most women unless you consider that most men in general are a bad deal for most women. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/02/26 09:57 AM |
| 2 | Why do women think that men have it easy compared to them?If men aren't meeting the perceived expectations of women, and women are willing to accommodate men in many ways, the lack of reciprocation in their own standards makes them exaggerate and say things like "the bar is in hell?" But even if it's hyperbole, the implication from that statement is: "I've made it easy to keep them around" (women meeting their own expectations) "they want some needs met - they are not" (men not meeting those expectations) So there's an imbalance.

My social experiences have been a source of pain in my life, and the absence of the experience itself seems like a better option. I'm not saying this is good or how I want to be, though.

Most people desire to fit in socially and will therefore have empathy towards people who might be awkward. It benefits them to relate to others because it strengthens the bond and level of understanding between everyone.

In the same way, some people are born into adject poverty and lifelong misery, some people are given everything and never experience much suffering. Currently, we exist in a period where this particular problem is relevant for men, and it might be "unequal" or "unfair," but what does it mean to resolve this issue?

I don't disagree that dating can be easy, but if men aren't getting into as many relationships, it is by definition not easier as long as men actually want to date.

They're usually the ones competing for scarce resources and, therefore, tend to have more variance. So there are probably more men that differ from the mean when compared to women.

For men that are meeting their percieved social needs, it's likely to be less of an issue. For men that aren't, sex and relationships will likely take up more mental space. I've said this before, but I think because of the lack of reliable social networks (or even a lack of emotional self-awareness), men idealize what a woman might provide for them. Like a "cure."

| 2 | Losing your virginity "late" is far better than with the wrong personVirginity indicates social ineptitude much of the time. Where possible, I would always prefer to have an experience rather than nothing. First-hand experience in any activity is important; it gives you a platform to make better decisions in the future. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/02/25 03:08 AM |
| 2 | What Makes a Man Creepy?Men are at an advantage physically while also representing a higher level of aggression. I would think that, given this circumstance, it would seem natural for women to portray some hesitation to men. This distinction strikes me as important because most people generalize when labeling people, and the word "creepy" is usually used as a sweeping statement to clarify the various aspects of a person feeling "off." | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/02/25 07:06 AM |
| 0 | It's acceptable to direct infantilizing insults at men, but not at women, and that double standard is weirdI was under the impression that most women are being covertly infantilized, if not directly infantilized. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/01/25 12:35 AM |
| 1 | When single... Did/Do you care about what the opposite sex finds attractive?If my objective is to find a relationship, it would be detrimental to not care about what they find attractive. All of us, constantly, are playing the social game. We're all trying to fit in and gain other people's trust and approval. It certainly wouldn't be different in this case. Some people have had good upbringings. They might be confident, well groomed, emotionally intelligent, or just genuinely kind. Those kinds of people wouldn't need to bother with gaining other people's approval. It ha… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/12/24 09:08 PM |
| 1 | Its not that women lack empathy. Too many men conflate coddling with empathy.I was referring to the subject of the discussion, which was mainly focused on mental health. I would assume that emotional intelligence could be used to diagnose mental health problems or at least seek support. I'm also aware that some people can't push past their problems. That's just life. But we can all try, and that's what's important. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/12/24 09:34 AM |
| 3 | Its not that women lack empathy. Too many men conflate coddling with empathy.People are suffering, but they aren't self-aware, resourceful, or emotionally intelligent enough to produce a long-lasting solution for their issues. It happens for both men and women. In my experience, being able to muster the courage to fight against that suffering is by far the hardest step. So, instead of fighting, they just whine. And people who have actually put in that work struggle to empathize with someone who won't take responsibility for their problems. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/12/24 08:47 PM |
| – | Hot Guys I’ve Been Friends Want To Use WomenLookism is real, I don't think anyone contests that. People who can get away with this kind of behavior will continue to do so until they're incentivized to change. Hot women use men, and hot men use women. Rich men use women, and rich women use men. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/11/24 09:55 AM |
| 27 | Men higher in beta traits are preferred by most womenLmao, everyone is complaining about "generalizations," but that is literally the point of this subreddit. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/11/24 06:58 PM |
| 1 | People who hate feminism don't have a viable alternativeDoesn't feminism use the privileges that men have to compare and advocate for the rights of women, though? Wouldn't it be more accurate to say "bettering women as compared to men" instead of just "bettering women"? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/10/24 11:21 AM |
| 6 | Men’s sexuality is constantly both demonized and exalted, creating a super toxic situationI was under the impression that the usual social stigma against "sleeping around" was normally directed at women. Men are usually celebrated for their sexual accomplishments, and women are usually shamed. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/10/24 06:18 PM |
| 2 | For Every 16 IQ Points Above 100, a Woman Is 40% Less Likely to Get MarriedThe more normal you are, the more in common you have with other people. People usually look for like-minded company. I would assume this works both ways, but I'm not sure. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/09/24 08:29 AM |

| 2 | What is The Minimum Gender Threshold for Unlimited Dating Options?Tall and charismatic without being obese or having a hideous face, at least for men. Maybe like a 5/10 face and like 5'10+ would be sufficient for most of the population if he was well socialized and responsible. I think appearance usually matters more for women, just based off my own intuition and experiences lol, so maybe a 7/10 face and not overweight (or crazy) would also be sufficient for most of the population. I don't think men need to put as much effort into appearance, and I don't think… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/07/24 10:06 PM |
| 0 | Dating is easier for women and it's men's faultThis kind of mirrors sexual survival of the fittest for men. It won't change, I think. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/07/24 11:12 PM |
| 1 | Just be a good person; challenge the stereotypesIt's unfortunate. A lot of people have built up resentment from their perceived value in the dating market, making them feel unwanted and unloved. What follows isn't usually a careful reflection and genuine effort to be a good person. I think most people would like to think they are good people, and since they see themselves as worthless in the dating market, it would make sense that they don't consider how "good" they are when considering why no one loves them. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/07/24 04:00 AM |
| 1 | Men care too much about women's approval and getting laid.As far as I know, the vast majority of men are normally the ones competing for women, not the other way around. So, men needing a woman's approval seems like an appropriate consequence. There's not much we can do about it systemically. Another weird consequence might be the objectification of women, like you mentioned. It's all super unhealthy and has repercussions for both parties. Nature can be cruel, lol. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/06/24 12:45 AM |
| – | As a man I honestly can't see whats unattractive about short men.A lot of it is biology, I would assume. Taller people are associated with health since malnutrition stunts growth. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/04/24 11:02 PM |
| – | CMV: Bluepillers don't actually care about self improvement.Not to be all "it's over bro" but some people, especially people who aren't well socialized, might have such a difficult time finding a relationship that it might as well be impossible. I mean, it's like that with wealth, too. Some people just aren't cut out for human existence as well as others. But tbh that isn't a good reason to give up, as those circumstances weren't in your control. It's also important to recognize that women might also be in a similar situation. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/01/24 04:39 AM |
| 1 | Seriously, how is the average joe supposed to be happy if he is never desired?The stereotype is that men desire looks, women desire security, I think. Usually, men are taught to be successful, and women will follow. The same way men will follow if a woman is attractive. But yeah, physical attractiveness is a little undervalued in a male's childhood. Parents should focus on that a little more. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/01/24 11:24 AM |
| 0 | Seriously, how is the average joe supposed to be happy if he is never desired?Well, reproduction and intimacy are pretty much requirements when it comes to having your needs met. I think it's the third layer on Maslow's hierarchy of needs. I've had my fair-share of black-pill phases. I'm not even sure if I've grown out of it yet. I just don't think that it's conducive to becoming happier, regardless of the legitimacy of the theory. I just know that the "it's over bro" mindset is cringe: it doesn't promote any forward momentum. It gives you a reason to give up. I'll admit … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/01/24 11:16 AM |

| 1 | Is it just me or is relationship problems always seen as the man's fault?From my very ignorant and limited perspective, men probably are the greater evil when it comes to relationship stability. From what I usually see, men are too nonchalant and disregarding of the partner, and women are too picky or aggravated about things. There are exceptions ofc, and ik I'm probably wrong but I'm just going from my direct experiences. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/03/21 07:26 AM |
| 0 | Why are most men never taught how to attract women?Men "hunt". Women have to be the ones to attract men because they are the ones who are being chosen. Or that's how dating works at an animalistic level. It could easily be the other way around, but we are led to believe that it is generally men who should pursue, and women who should attract. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/02/21 11:29 PM |

| 1 | A lot of women here would prefer a man to be celibate his ENTIRE LIFE than to see him have sex thanks to TRP100% agree with the "utility vs character" argument that you said. But, I don't think that it would apply to women more than men, and if it did, men objectify just as much as women. Like I said, the people that do these kinds of a thing are just bad people, and doesn't have anything to do with gender. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/09/20 03:48 AM |
| 2 | A lot of women here would prefer a man to be celibate his ENTIRE LIFE than to see him have sex thanks to TRP"Utility to themselves"? Are you talking about gold diggers?

| 10 | I always wondered why women move on so quickly. I think the answer is simply OPTIONSI think that's true. I don't want to generalize genders, but I think people who don't feel anything have different ways of ending relationships.
