| 7 | The biggest thing right now we can do to help men is to teach boys as young as possible, to drop as much as possible, any and all need for female validationYou are not going to change their desires. Yeah, no shit, we also need to tell people to eat their vegetables. Given the prevalence of obesity, how's that working out? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/04/26 01:58 PM |

| 2 | Has manosphere content gotten you laid?Unfortunately, most people only love someone to the point that they fear losing them, and they also do (and should) be with their "best choice." | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/03/26 03:36 PM |
| 1 | Has manosphere content gotten you laid?Negging doesn't have to be hostile, but it's more about taking the piss with "your bratty little sister" instead of walking on eggshells like you'll scare the kitty. It shows that you're not an ass-kissing people-pleaser, and if done right, yes, elicits the all-powerful push-pull approval-seeking response. It feels like a subset of frame, in that you're generally unbothered and unreactive, and if she shoots you down, it's like whatever, man. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/03/26 03:34 PM |
| 3 | Has manosphere content gotten you laid?Traditional blue pill is utter nonsense. "Just be nice and genuine, tell her how you feel" etc etc. I loathe Andrew Tate and the tough guy braggart types, but there's a very non-misogynistic form of "pick up artist" from the old 2000s era that I think is very competent. Classic "Mystery Method," Mark Manson, take the piss with girls like they're your bratty little sister, don't be needy and chase, don't walk on eggshells. And yes, many guys are thick and need to be told this sort of thing. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/03/26 03:29 PM |
| 1 | Men should be more radicalised and actively work against women's interests.I do kinda get it, sometimes I do see people earnestly spouting "online talking points" in the wild, and yeah, those people suck. But if you have a real-ass education and a real-ass job, you'll find out that people with actual shit to worry about aren't always ready to throw down about every little thing and to have strong opinions on everything because they are capable of making decisions without the algorithm funneling their every preference. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/03/26 03:21 PM |
| 28 | Men should be more radicalised and actively work against women's interests.As a man who eyerolls A LOT at online leftism, and sees real problems with the pervasiveness of "girls rule; boys drool" feminism, "men's groups" are full of the biggest loser-ass pieces of shit imaginable. Gamergate, Andrew Tate, people complaining about a black character in a video game, those men are pathetic and beneath my dignity. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/03/26 03:16 PM |
| 0 | Some of the best advice men can be given is to stop caring too much about women.their genuine self is unappealing to the vast majority of women Many men just want to be the gamer/MTG game store guy who eats junk food and pays zero attention to their clothes. Those guys are everywhere, they have no skills outside of their games, no life skills, no communication skills, poor health, and wonder why women aren't attracted to their "true selves." Every person with a childish mindset thinks that doing anything to get along in society is oppression or being disingenuous. Much of t… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/03/26 02:55 PM |
| 0 | Some of the best advice men can be given is to stop caring too much about women.The reason Ozempic works is because it chemically kills your food drive. Without it, the obesity rate suggests that most people cannot simply choose to "stop caring about food." The 1990s was a stupid fucking time for mental health, like we just told people to "change their attitudes" as if you could tautologically not think about something if you stopped thinking about it so much. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/03/26 02:49 PM |

| 2 | GenZ women's "icks" are just a manifestation of their innate preference for rigid gender roles and archetypes.The indigenous science people are stupid children whose brains cannot comprehend the rigor of a stack of mathematical proof without handwaving. Anyone who thinks Newton is bullshit will never make any meaningful contribution to scientific knowledge. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/02/26 10:48 PM |
| – | Men with high self esteem are better optionsPeople with high self-esteem are generally better to talk to, I don't think this should be controversial at all. Someone who is needy and constantly needs other people to give them self-esteem, is reactionary when attacked, that's all very off-putting behavior, especially in a man. Go watch some old videos of Arnold in the bodybuilding days. He might be one of the manliest men who ever manned. He's going around shaking hands with everyone at the gym, friendly, helpful, and supportive, with the c… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/02/26 02:49 AM |

| 1 | GenZ women's "icks" are just a manifestation of their innate preference for rigid gender roles and archetypes.My theory is that “icks” are something borne out of an over abundance of options and incredible privilege that women in first world western societies enjoy Nearly all voluntary human interaction comes from a place of supply and demand. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/02/26 12:20 AM |
| 1 | GenZ women's "icks" are just a manifestation of their innate preference for rigid gender roles and archetypes.Being very self-absorbed, obsessed with social media (Instagram eats first!) or generally too online, astrology (especially if they think this makes them smart), manifesting, romantasy, really into handbags/luxury goods that serve no value besides being expensive, does not read, affected prissiness, princess mentality, extreme politics in either direction, acting like sex work is noble/empowering, doesn't like cats. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/02/26 12:19 AM |

| 9 | GenZ women's "icks" are just a manifestation of their innate preference for rigid gender roles and archetypes.Trump made huge gains among young men in 2024. I believe this is simply due to the increasing rates of singlehood A lot of it is coming from a place of defensive contrarianism. The old chestnut that no one really cares about men's feelings is largely true. "Girls rule; boys drool" feminism reached a point where it become unironic, as well as hating white people. It was kinda funny in the 1990s when it was "ha ha white men can't jump" but now BIPOC Twitter genuinely believes white people "stole" … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/02/26 12:12 AM |

| 12 | Q4W: I was surprised by all the misandry I see in this sub. Where do you think women learn to be misandrists. If you are personally misandrist, where did you learn it? How can women unlearn it?TwoXChromosomes is a big offender, but "girls rule; boys drool" feminism has been popular for quite some time. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/02/26 04:13 PM |

| 3 | Women claim to be into personality but judge everythingWhy would anyone want to be around the "fat game store guy?" It gets "worse" for them, and no one wants to admit it, but when you're uneducated and unprofessional, you also tend to have worse communication and leadership skills in every way. You can't drag yourself out of your whole to defer gratification to do anything hard for more than a couple of weeks, if even that. You don't have good skills in active listening, social mitigation, or negotiation for even the most basic shit, and you don't … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/02/26 07:13 PM |
| 3 | Q4M: what is something you think guys overestimate women care about in dating?Pleasing the woman. Trying to defer to her for decisions Man I saw this happen so many times with my "male nerd" friends. They thought no one would ever love them if they ever said no or set a boundary. Their women smelled blood in the water, and now they are married to controlling, awful women because they will never express an opinion, go out with friends, or spend a penny without getting their wives' permission first. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/02/26 07:08 PM |
| 2 | Q4M: what is something you think guys overestimate women care about in dating?I always ask "Do you have any food allergies or things you don't eat?" Sometimes you find something out, you can riff off if it, pick accordingly, and it sounds respectful and considerate, but not deferential. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/02/26 07:06 PM |

| 9 | If men prefer women under 25, what women expected to do about it?If you wear clothes that fit decently beyond a baggy faded T-shirt, you will be beyond 90% of men. I say this because many men have zero fashion sense. If you go to the gym and have even a halfway decent workout three times a week, and don't eat utter fucking garbage, you will be ahead of 95% of Americans. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/02/26 06:48 PM |
| 1 | If men prefer women under 25, what women expected to do about it?I'm moderately red pilled but I don't really care about "the wall" because I also know how any correlation works, it's not a guarantee. Conversely, I have met many very intelligent 25 year olds with college degrees, excellent life skills, and excellent communication skills, versus a lot of 40 year old Karens. Or among men, 40 year old avoidant man-children. That matters to me much more. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/02/26 06:35 PM |
| 1 | women on reddit are very much part of the problemIt’s very basic social skills. You would think so! And yet..... Talking to people on an online game is completely different than talking to a potential romantic interest. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/02/26 06:23 PM |
| 18 | If men prefer women under 25, what women expected to do about it?So don't do those things? Botox is sadly the norm now. It works. It is what it is. I know a hot 37 year old and a hot 42 year old, they are both definitely doing just fine. They also both go to the gym and the latter is a gym queen type. Dudes doing the same could very well get good results. The rift absolutely becomes massive versus the 250-pound person over 40 who never exercises. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/02/26 03:54 PM |

I think entitled "boss babes" who don't accept coffee dates, the six-feet six-figure types are absolute losers for sure, but yeah, even as a man, I do think the men are generally far worse. Tough guy gun nuts who want to shoot everyone, ICE supporters, guys who think having a black fictional character is "woke," I loathe them all, and if they all vanished tomorrow, my only concern is who would feed their pets.

If you get decent clothes that fit well, that isn't just a shitty ballcap and worn-down licensed T-shirt with a overstretched out neck, you will be way ahead of 90% of men.

| 10 | women on reddit are very much part of the problem"Treating women like people" is facile advice. Communication is one of the most important life skills, and most people fail utterly at it. "Being themselves" is often, at a minimum, a person who is a very unpolished and immature communicator who needs to develop real speaking skills. It's toxic positivity to suggest that you'll just meet someone who accepts you as you are, without self-improvement, and communication skills 101 absolutely matters.

| 3 | women on reddit are very much part of the problemI don't the "alpha" dudes are right either, it's grifters all the way down. I do think the more moderate pickup artists are mostly correct. Among women, it's usually the "I'm a high-value woman; you should pay my rent" types, then you have the more leftist men and women whose advice is equally worthless. "You need to listen, just REALLY LISTEN to what women say, and what they truly want is a guy who is nice, kind, and intelligent!" No they fucking don't. Kindness and intelligence are friend and … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/02/26 03:16 PM |
| 5 | Is there any hope for "good guys"?Yes and no. "Good men" can looksmax and moneymax. However, the greatest attraction traits, especially for women, are novelty, and push-pull approval-seeking. Consistency, kindness, intelligence, and good communication skills are traits for friends, mentors, and parents. Women aren't attracted to those traits unless they're also exceptional in those respects. They just say they want kind and intelligent men, but what they really mean is they want tall rich badboys to happen to have those traits, … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/01/26 02:16 AM |

| 2 | I think identifying the attractive aspects of toxic masculinity was the peak of male dating advice, and influencers these days have taken it to autistic levelsWhile it's very easy to see and argue that height and face matter more, it doesn't mean exercise and clothes are meaningless and that you should just throw your hands up in the air and say "fuck it" if you don't look like Henry Cavill. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/12/25 07:39 PM |

I think each person will rationally go with their "best choice." And hopefully for many people, that means an emotional connection. If you're with someone for years, you should know what they like and work together to give it to them, yes? That means staying hot and not being an asshole. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/12/25 02:42 PM |

| 1 | "Alpha Male" culture is juvenile."No true king has to say he's a king." Online dating social media is fucking awful on both sides, each one going on about how "high value" they are. That being said, I've met multiple women who said they want "an alpha man." Are they wrong to want that?

I've met women who I've had nothing in common with, and sometimes I struggled to find a reason to even continue this pesky coffee date.

I've gone to great lengths to lose weight and become highly educated, and wanting that in partner is now a tiny percent of the population. Not overweight or obese (30%), college degree (40% of adults), either gender (50%), is something like 6% of the population. Change college degree to graduate degree or better (15% of adults over 25) and it's about 2% of the population. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/08/24 11:11 PM |

| 2 | CMV: Having no friends is NOT a red flag, especially in the modern dayThere are many reasons why someone might not have any friends, but a fairly common one is poor social skills and inability to get the fuck over yourself and keep commitments.
