I won't claim to know for sure, but my first thought is that they may just have a different way of thinking about "complete satisfaction". If you're someone who's ambitious and wants to improve things, you might not describe your attitude towards those things as "completely satisfied", even if you highly value and respect what those things are. I don't think this is something you can judge from a single question in a single study.

I legit lift 2-3 days a week for an hour tops and look better than 90% of dudes in their twenties. Accepting a little bit of body fat makes maintaining an impressive physique an option without making working out or dieting your lifestyle. Eat when you're hungry, eat junk food in moderation, and just lift on a fairly routine basis.

The unfortunate reality is that most people have opinions, and how valuable those opinions are is a matter of personal opinion, especially when it comes to things like socializing that we all do and we can all claim our confidence is earned. Some people will tell you the things that they wish were true, projecting their ideals onto their seemingly practical advice. Some of these people are aware that they do this, some are not. Some people will tell you the things that are most likely to lead yo…

The thing about this situation is that Jordan Peterson is someone who commonly advocates for treating groups of people that don't look/act like him with a lack of compassion. It's not funny that he's in distress - it's funny that he's in distress and expecting sympathy from people that he wouldn't extend sympathy to. Now I personally wouldn't mock him, but I think it's a very predictable consequence of the behavior he engages in.

So I hear you, but something you might not recognize is that for a lot of people, that sort of messaging was absolutely necessary, and there's no clear line between "social agenda started" and "social agenda accomplished". I'm 32, not young but not old either. My mother didn't graduate high school when she was young, primarily because it just wasn't an expectation of women in her family/culture/whatever to hold a job or provide for themselves. She got her GED while I was in high school, and she …

I'm a very nonconfrontational man, I detest violence and get anxious when people make a debate personal. I'm also a trained fighter who is bigger than most and lifts weights. More than once it has crossed my mind that if one day I just lost it and started doing something terrible, it wouldn't be easy to stop me. Most people probably couldn't on their own.

I was literally slapped in the face when I was a toddler for crying (didn't matter why). I'm in a better place now but from the ages of say like 3-14 I didn't cry in front of anyone, and from the ages of like 15-20 I might have cried like twice in that entire time.

Having knowledge doesn't mean one has skill. Most of us know intimately that we should work out more, eat better, etc. - but that doesn't mean we're going to. Similarly, lots of people know that the sort of people they attract and are attracted to are not the best for them, but that knowledge doesn't immediately give them the motivation or skill to do things differently.

Yea those traditional family values are, again, the reason why my mother couldn't leave an abusive relationship. I wouldn't call them fucked up though, because that would just be rude, and I'd like to think I'm better than that. So, again, you do you man. I don't want your lifestyle and you don't want mine, so it's a good thing we both get to choose.

And on the flip side, you've got people like my mother who were stuck in abusive relationships because societal norms of monogamy didn't give her any options. I don't think there's anything wrong with monogamy, but I have seen way too many victims of monogamy to think it's a good idea for everyone. And in the end most of the problems with different people's relationships come down to the people involved, not because their relationship style (monogamous, polyamorous, non-amorous, whatever) inhere…

Dude, I am a man, and I've been polyamorous for years. So, my stance is to let people do what they want. I want to have multiple partners, as do my partners. Your stance (as best I can tell) is that people should be forced into monogamy, even people like myself and my partners who do not want to be monogamous. Now I get that you have a lot of strong feelings regarding sex and relationships, and that's fine. But I don't understand what your feelings about sex and relationships have to do with oth…

I still don't understand why you're trying to stop people like me from having multiple partners. Are you trying to date me? Are you trying to date them? Do you think trying to stop us from dating other people is going to woo one of us? Also you're projecting about intimacy, I'd be willing to bet I'm more intimate with my partners than the average person, monogamous or not.

If that's what people want to do and they're not causing any problems, yes let them. How do you propose to stop them, besides the current system of shaming them? Assuming that you don't want to let people "hoe around" as you put it
/r/PurplePillDebate05/12/22 07:13 PM

Nothing is wrong with monogamy, but the expectation that everyone should be monogamous is bad. Not everyone wants to be and trying to force monogamy on them only causes problems. I believe people should be free to establish whatever sort of relationships they want, provided that everyone involved is consenting adults.

The argument is that doesn't have to be criminal to be wrong, there's a big gap between "actions that are shitty" and "actions that are shitty enough to have legal consequences". And having an opinion isn't wrong, sharing that opinion isn't wrong. I'm not trying to silence the person I responded to. Mostly I just want them to know the effect their comment is having, whether they intend it or not. It's a judgement on the fact that it's not fair. I really don't understand this. Someone changed the…

I think monogamy as an expectation is bad for society. I'm definitely biased here, but growing up I saw a lot of unhealthy marriages that people were effectively trapped in due to unnecessary societal expectations. The way I see it, there are basically infinite ways people can go about their sexual life, and as long as what people are doing isn't causing harm, then people should be free to live whatever way they currently want to. Just to be clear, that doesn't mean anyone is absolved from respo…

You didn't like being judged, and you say you're not trying to judge anyone else, but then you continue to say things like "I don't need any high number" or "that's very lonely and degrading in a way". Like maybe you're not trying to judge, but you're not trying to stop yourself from judging, either. I'll put it in simple terms: the things are you saying are insulting to people like me, whether you intend for them to be or not. I really don't care what you do with this information (including doi…

Lots of people, maybe most people, effectively discourage social behaviors they are not fond of, and encourage behaviors they are fond of, sometimes in inappropriate ways. Now I'm not saying these women harassing you about your sexual history are justified, that's really shitty of them. But shitty people do it in every direction.

The difference is that we can lie, so we can fake social skills that we don't actually have. The rub is that people who are good enough at faking it are effectively indistinguishable from people that do it organically. Enough so that most people don't even care how you got your social skills or any of the implications of that, they just care that you have said social skills at all. Channel enough anxiety into action and you too can exude confidence, and your presence will reassure others that ev…

You don't think we men can use our sex appeal too? Obviously it's not the same - most people spending money in that industry are men, and so it's much more difficult to make a living if you don't cater to men - but it's not like women are doing something men don't have the option of doing.

Intelligence is a complicated topic and IQ is not a perfect measurement. I think you're discounting emotional intelligence here. The intelligence to know intuitively when someone is attracted to you, for example. IQ may inversely correlate with sex, but I argue that it's incorrect to presume that all forms of intelligence are detrimental from that information, as the IQ test is limited in its function.

The ratio of single women to single men at social events is almost always skewed towards the men. We have terms like "sausage fest" for a reason but have no need for a term to describe the opposite ("clam jam" could work). That's why so many bars offer women drinks for free and so many clubs have rules regarding how many men vs women can enter. I think the biggest factor in this is that, between single men and single women, single men are more likely to "go out" trying to find somebody, both as …

A mental practice I like to do when someone states something as fact, is put the phrase "I think" or "I feel like" in front of their sentence. It helps me recognize when they're stating their experience as fact unintentionally. Women don't by and large say there's no good options. Men don't by and large throw themselves at women hoping for a morsel of companionship. Half of all women and more than half of all men are currently married. So technically, if you're not married, you're already in the…

I can't assume this theory is correct because it doesn't make mathematical sense. Yea the changing dating culture may result in more people waiting longer to settle down, but at the end of the day you've still got a bunch of people looking to settle down and looking at each other as options. The only way I can see the end results changing is if a bunch of people elect to just die single, even though they have options available. I do think marriage is declining, but I'm personally cool with that.…

It was a massive culture shock. When I was fat, most people didn't seem to care for me much at first. They weren't hostile or anything, but few people went out of their way to try to get to know me or anything. I would lean heavily on charm and humor to make myself accepted. When I got into shape, it was quite honestly like socializing on easy mode for the first time. I didn't need charm or humor.

The cold reality IMO is that no one except for these men in question want these men to succeed. Men who are already successful with women just see this is making the competition harder for them. Women in general see this as men trying to get an upper hand when it comes to relationships.

Some men frame it in an exploitive way. Unfortunately, those men are found in every online support group for men out there. Also unfortunately, they tend to have the loudest voices, and their thoughts are often perceived to be representative of the majority. I'm not saying there aren't problems with a lot of these groups.

typically developing people will not face more than a dozen rejections in a lifetime because typically developing people wait for some confirmation of mutual attraction before asking someone out I don't agree with this at all. Rejection doesn't happen when someone says no to a date. A rejection happens when your desire to escalate things is not reciprocated.

But she will never find this fulfilling. That never replaces a man's role in a woman's life. You are projecting so much right here. Is what you're saying true for some women? Sure. But applying this to all women is just absurd. Have you considered that not all women place a lot of value on "having a man in their life"?

Here's the rub: you either rise to the challenge, or you get left behind. Men are championed for being confident, for being entertaining, for all sorts of things. You either find your way to emulate these things that people find valuable, or people will not find you valuable. The cold hard reality is that more men are born than women and more men will die alone than women. That's just how the math pans out.

Good lovers cater to their audience. Some people like it rough, some people like it gentle. Many people like both, depending on various circumstances. If all the women you talk to are telling you the same thing, you might want to consider selection bias.

Masculinity is traditionally associated with hyper-agency, so letting outside forces influence your behavior (such as by making you feel certain things) is associated with a lack of masculinity. I don't personally agree with all of this myself, but a good example is the story of Jesus Christ. As the story goes, Jesus was threatened by masses of people, the church, and the government, that they will make his life miserable and/or murder him. And they did. But nothing they could do would sway Jesu…

I always liked "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" as a good reality check for children. You can do all of morally righteous things, save the girl, save the day, blah blah blah. But at the end of the day she's going to fawn over the person she is attracted to, not the person that did all of the right things. It counteracts a lot of the media narrative about attraction being informed by morals, and it's a sobering example about how being attractive comes with status/privileges.

Well it would be kind of neat if men and women ended up with the same amount of money. I get why people jump to wanting to "fix" the situation. But when you control for some pretty important factors, like industry or more importantly hours worked, the pay gap shrinks rapidly.

I think the big takeaway here is that, given the right circumstances, you can say and do almost anything you want.

Divorce was on the rise already though, ever since the inception of no-fault divorces. At least in the USA, can't speak for elsewhere.

First of all, I don't take issue with hookup culture. I don't think it's ideal for everyone sure, but it works just fine. I definitely prefer it over say, hijabs or purity balls. Second, the reason is inertia. The last major western culture change was an escape from the puritan views of sex and intimacy, so we're going to continue to explore sexual and romantic liberation until we have reason not to.

My take: A lot of men's insecurities rise from our competitive nature with each other. And when it comes to women, men aren't envying each other for being "boyfriend material", men tend to envy men who seem to navigate relationships with women as if using cheat codes. Unfortunately, this leads to a significant number of men feeling like they've lost some sort of grand competition, and their bruised egos cause them to resent the women that didn't validate them.

I'm poly, and yes technically my one girlfriend was the first to turn me onto the idea, we were also already in an open relationship (which was open because I said it had to be if we were to start dating in the first place). Honestly I don't know if any one person can claim they have an anecdotal sample size big enough to discuss polyamory as a whole. You're from Texas, but I'm from Maryland. Our cultures are pretty wildly different, and you can probably expect so our are polyamorous communities…

Hey man, don't speak for all of us. I'm a dude, I don't want to get married, and I'm polyamorous.

IMO this is often times a soft way of saying they have no immediate interest in kids but aren't necessarily anti-children or don't really know so they don't want to take the option off the table prematurely.

I think a large part of the problem is that your dating in NYC. I'm pretty sure that area has a significant disparity of single women to men, and the people living there are less likely to want to be starting a family than elsewhere as well (that one's just a hunch on my part). I haven't lived there myself but I've been there more than once and have always heard stereotypes of people moving from the cities to the suburbs to raise their families.

It's impersonal. It's treating personal relationships with the same emotional investment as you would a poker game - calculate the odds and try to play your hand the best way possible. It's how people can find great success with casual relationships but then fail to find anything deeper.

Quality vs Quantity. I take it they are using the shotgun approach - shooting their shot at women in general and just playing the lottery with what turns up. IMO it's effective for casual relationships but a recipe for disappointment when it comes to long-term relationships.

I think men are upset that their value is being defined by an external factor that isn't entirely earned.

Most bodybuilders do compound exercises. I think a lot of people are really keen to dunk on bodybuilders and love to use the trope of "they're not strong they just look strong" as a way to do it. This only showcases that they've never actually met a bodybuilder though because the bread and butter of bodybuilding, like any strength-training sport, is compound lifts like squats and deadlifts.

It's not about height specifically, it's about size. Feminine people tend to want to feel safe and protected by larger and more imposing masculine people.

Well OP you need to finish asking your question. Women are having trouble with what? Most likely what they are having difficulty finding is commitment, and that's because they're human. The commitment struggle has been real for most of human history and in fact had to be tied to valuable property to incentivize it.

But it's not going to be fair, it's going to be natural, and nature isn't fair. A cultural shift could mitigate some of these issues, but that is a very long and mostly organic process.

I definitely agree. From my limited understanding of neuroscience and my personal experiences, I am under the impression that testosterone is a radically significant hormone and has major effects on our libidos.

It doesn't liberate or empower anything in and of itself. Now, say if someone had body image issues and posting a nude selfie somehow alleviated those issues (or at least mitigated them) - then yea you could call that empowering or liberating.

As in why is it that porn consumption is more common among men? Or if it's not actually more common, why is it commonly presumed to be?

Basically, there are "boy bands" and "girl bands" where clearly the target demographic is predominantly girls.

We do not need a masculine studies program. What would be useful IMO, would be a specialization within sociology regarding gender in regards to society.

One can reduce the amount of pain most by not engaging in harmful acts, such as war.

If you don't choose to participate in it then your gaming experience will not at all be affected.

According to that, a lot of women feel miserable with the way society exists nowadays. It mentions nothing about Feminism and makes no arguments about how Feminism may have influenced the current situation. Root of the problem, IMO, is that we have experienced a huge boom in the population at the same time that we have made huge strides in automation. We require less human effort than we used to, and be have more people with effort to contribute. And since our historical model of society include…

Number of reasons: Unwed people are more capable of vacating a given relationship, hence sex isn't something that can easily be withheld by either party without consequence. Unwed people are typically younger and healthier, making sex easier to perform and more enjoyable. There's more I'm sure, but I've lost interest in trying to define them.

In terms of pure principle, if men are subjected to the draft, women should be too. In terms of realistic consequence, the draft is sort of a worthless concept in the first place. Military propaganda would be used much sooner than the draft to recruit new members, so much so that were the draft to be utilized the vast majority of drafted persons would never contribute to the war effort. Personally, I know I wouldn't.

The video is about the Mens Rights Movement, not The Red Pill. I do believe the MRM is gaining some traction, it's been doing that for years now and this is just another step for it.

You take any two people, even if they say they swallowed the same color pill, odds are they're quite different. Some of you may say that my girlfriend is one of these women, because we both laugh at many parts of modern feminism and she agrees with some things discussed at TRP.

Women aren't threatened by TRP - by and large most people have never heard of TRP, and will die not having heard of it either. It's very much a minority group that the majority is blissfully ignorant to. Now are some chicks upset about it because it's eliminating some of their power in the relationship game? I'm sure there are. I have to imagine the vast majority are upset about it because it's so derogatory, the same message could be written in a much more cordial fashion and the disdain that i…

Not at all. TRP thinks of any man who knows what he wants but does nothing to gain it as weak. As an example, if someone wants success with women, but is unwilling to do what it takes to be successful with women, they are weak in the eyes of TRP.

The concept of influence can be frightening to some, because if you are good at influence others, you may be influencing them, and they have to rely on faith that you will not take advantage of them. I can be rather influential when I want to be.

So either I'm God or truth is relative. But I have also found that o…

I literally said "I politefully disagree" and got banned from /r/Feminism along with some other subs in that group. Reason why? They apparently have a rule against questioning feminist dogma.

You can punish a group of people much more subtly than that. Think of things like tax breaks for the married or higher taxes on things associated with single men (such as motorcycles). It may not make a monumental difference on an individual level, but in the big picture small nuances can have tremendous affect. Hell they raised cigarette tax in my state a few years ago by at least a dollar just on the premise that statistics show more expensive cigarettes result in less young smokers.

As an alcoholic, I think a lot of it comes down to how sloppy you get when you drink. A limit of three drinks or so seems pretty reasonable for an average person, enough for you to have fun but not enough that you're slurring words or losing motor functions.

I think that comes down to how one interprets the idea of respect. It's common respect that I treat you like a decent person until you prove yourself to be indecent. That's one form of respect.

Wouldn't "they" refer to our mothers, since so many of us grew up without our fathers (due to him either not being there at all or spending all of his time at work)? There was a line in that movie Fight Club about this being a generation of men raised by their mothers and how detrimental that was. I really can't stand the us vs. them sexist bullshit but that does strike some sort of chord in me.

TRP is a no-holds-barred discussion on sexual strategy and gender differences. MGTOW is simply the opposite approach to the same problem - not caring what the reality is and just doing what makes you happy regardless. In a way I wish I was MGTOW. I desire sex too much though to give it up, I'm not proud of that but it's part of who I am. I imagine it would be very liberating to not be controlled by a libido or feel the imagined necessity of a romantic relationship.

Males in the media typically only have sex through one of two methods - doing something heroic or otherwise awesome that impresses the woman he ends up sleeping with, or he does something shady or sketchy.

We really have no good system in place for dealing with children in this situation.

What is an appropriate age difference? If a 25 y.o dated an 18 y.o, is that too far? What if he's 30 and she's 21? What's the line? Age is just a number. What it really comes down to is maturity - is one person taking advantage of another's naivety? If so it's wrong, and if not it's all good. Is this static, or does it change with age? If a 40 y.o dates a 25 y.o, is that likewise wrong? Like I said, age is just a number. It really has to be judged in context. Is gender a factor? Does your opinio…

There are more men at rock bottom than women. There are more homeless men, more mentally handicapped men, more men in poverty, more men with PTSD, and less men receiving help for any of these given issues. We as a society expect men to be more self-reliant than women, so men are more likely to be lacking in support, and therefore more likely to collapse.

To be fair, it's a stereotype for a reason that women go after assholes. Not all women do of course, but it's true enough at least that an entire movement has sprung teaching men how to be more like said assholes in order to not miss out on sexual opportunities. So, what's happening here is that he feels like a consolation prize, like he isn't impressive enough to land a younger and sexier version of her, but now he qualifies.

Neither of them are in the wrong, it's just an unfortunate situation that probably will end up with them splitting up. So she slept around with assholes when she was younger. That's pretty common in my experience. So he felt sexually frustrated during the time period where chicks his age were sleeping around with assholes. That's also pretty common in my experience.

How do you define feminism? A political movement started in the 60s (I believe) with the original goal of earning rights for women that were originally withheld such as the right to vote. Do you acknowledge a difference between "radical feminism" and what I would call vanilla-just-don't-hurt-anyone-and-be-respectful-sex-positive-just-get-consent feminism Feminism is a political movement, not being a hater is a philosophy.

Is it a "right"? I would argue that access to it is a right, but having it provided for free of charge is not.

Masculinity is not synonymous with the male sex, such a direct connection is a result of strict gender roles and is merely in your head. It's in most peoples' heads. Masculinity is just a set of traits we have lumped together. Maybe if we didn't lump these traits together and give them a name commonly associated with the male sex we wouldn't face quite the gender role problem that we do now. Honestly, why even entertain the concept of masculinity vs. femininity?

Well I was taught from a sociology professor, and personal experience backs this up, that women tend to bond more through communication while men tend to bond more through shared activity. Competition is a form of shared activity, so yes I would argue that it's a form of bonding. However that bonding only occurs during leisurely competition - competition for things such as social status, women, money, attention, etc. only leaves men resenting each other.

Yes I have literally heard women voice that gender was the reason they were defending someone. Not many mind you, but I've heard it. More importantly though, you can see it through actions.

When you get married you combine assets, you're not considered to have your own individual portions of the marital wealth.

If testosterone turns the vagina into a penis, changes the female brain into the male brain, causes all of the observable biological differences between the sexes - it's a bit naive IMO to assume it has zero effect on the mind or personality. I mean there's a reason men make up the majority of the mentally handicapped as well as the majority of geniuses.

I'm with you, I seek after truth, and If I'm wrong, I want to know. It's great that a place has been erected for us to actually debate these ideas.

Yes but horseplay isn't exclusive to boys nor are boys exclusive to horseplay. It's not that the title is inaccurate, it's that it is misleading. It suggests that only boys behavior was changed, and that only boys benefited. And while it's likely the changes affected boys more than girls, that's no reason to ignore the benefits girls faced by the new policy.

I agree, I think the title is intentionally misleading. I'm glad to see it on mensrights though - while both genders benefited, it is younger boys who tend to be more interested running, jumping, roughhousing, the sorts of play that are demonized by modern society.

Am I the only one who thinks a dozen in five years isn't anything worth bragging about?

Not only did she abuse a position of trust, her method was also more violent than his, and there's the potential that his was accidental (not defending him there btw).

Just food for thought: texting and driving is more dangerous than drinking and driving.

Alright I got no valid excuse. I'm entirely capable of reading that whole thing. But I'm fucking lazy - can someone provide a tl;dr?

I think this is a very important distinction to make. I hold myself to my morals, and I would die a virgin before I would sell them out. But with the teachings from TRP I have been able to cultivate a very successful promiscuous lifestyle for myself without resorting to being the douchebag that naturally attracts women.

You're right OP, it's not funny, but that's largely due to the fact that it's just a humorless joke rather than a joke reliant on biased interpretations of violence.

Holy shit. This is nothing against your own age or whatever, but just as someone who's twenty three hearing about the youth of a lot of Redditors sometimes makes me feel old. Gotta say though, wish this shit was around when I was in high school. I cringe pretty hard at those memories compared to today.

There's a bright side to this story and a dark side. The bright side is that the dude who was dating Cassandra is going to gtfo. The dark side is that the dude who is dating Chelsey is an idiot and hasn't left yet. The darkest side is that these fuck-ups will reproduce, probably beat their kids too, and raise a new generation of fucked-up people. Yay mental illness!

To be fair, men are statistically way more likely than women to be sociopaths. I've considered that I may be one actually.

Out of principle, I will and always will refuse to label myself with such terms. I am not liberal or conservative. I am not a republican or a democrat. I am not a feminist or an MRA or an egalitarian. I'm certainly not a misogynist. I'm just a person. I am active in various movements and groups, because I wish to participate and/or influence them. I am not defined by them.

Professional athletes all have different wages. Their wages are based on the revenue they bring in. Athletes that are particular talented then tend to be the most highly paid, because they provide a higher benefit to their team (in team sports), because they provide a stronger increase in ticket sales, because they sell more merchandise, etc. Now, let's face the biological difference that can't be ignored - men tend to be larger, stronger, and faster than women. At the highest levels of athletic…

If they're resorting to saying "your arguments are wrong because of your physical features", they're admitting defeat. A true statement is true regardless of who makes it.

Yes, the internet was around in the 70s. I think you're referring to the world wide web, which wasn't really a thing until the early 90s.

Basically, expecting dudes to be stoic and strong is bullshit and unhealthy. I think the image got that idea across pretty well.

If it's just one sign about severed penises, then no I would not argue they are equivalent.

I really try my hardest to not let appearances affect the way I treat people. I like to think of everyone not necessarily as this gender or this attractiveness or this weight and height or whatever. I like to think of people as pockets of consciousness controlling a human body that they didn't particularly choose to control, they were just born into existence obligated to work with that body, and in that light we are all completely equal.

I remember for a number of years in the 2000s searching for "failure" returned a biography of George W. Bush Jr. as the top result.

Breast cancer is fairly more common and is the cause of death for more women than prostate cancer is for men. The ratio is roughly 3:4 deaths. Breast cancer is more profitable due to the lack of sympathy directed towards men. Women are responsible for the majority of disposable income spending.
