And men are fanning those flames with pumping and dumping.They may find women more easily attracted to resources, but the higher she scores on traditional feminine values, the grander his masculine performance will have to be. Which alot of dudes who couldn’t impress ANY western woman (he probably could have, if he tuned his parameters better) won’t be able to do. What level of economic leverage do men need to feel secure?

And men are fanning those flames with pumping and dumping.I really like considering free market failure in this context, but many of these points could/are motivated by behaviors far from female sexual selection. Fluctuations in religion, economics, and socialization from the 20th to the 21st century arrived well before women started being picky over social media - the hyper-fixation on the perfect male mate is aggressively modern. Female dating advantage has always existed in youth, if anything its purview has only widened and softened over time. 100 … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/05/23 09:43 AM |

And men are fanning those flames with pumping and dumping.Only a minority of people are so disconnected from their own agency to pursue education and health only for attention. And an individual unable to self-motivate is more unattractive to all peoples than a fat person in the long run. Their problem is less to do with physique and more in motivation, which is bound to be palpable in other aspects of their life.

| 5 | I'm a passport bro. Ask me anything.No problem. I appreciate your honest demonstration of dating abroad. Like stated, most guys who want to do what you do think they can pull up to SEA with no money, looks, charm, or decency. Big part of why western women don’t like it is because we fear men aim to treat these women worse. Even if you were just looking for sex, you display universally attractive attributes that have secured your success. It’s important to shoutout the good applications, hopefully others will learn from you. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/05/23 05:58 PM |

A jury can be incredibly sympathetic to a thief, but that will almost never amount to an acquittal. Because they still stole the money.

If considered honestly, this is a hard question for anyone to answer and you can really only answer it for yourself. Men may believe it to be easy because men may think of only two things 1) how to make him hard (the near universal don’t be fat and smile will suffice) and 2) how to not give him a hard time (ask him questions, don’t argue with him, make him feel special).

Which, following what men say they want, isn’t great advice.

Because that’s just not true, in dating or life otherwise. Ill put it like this - men make a very reasonable stink about how women use the actions of a few to paint the entire sex.

| 1 | Not many women seek casual sex, but it takes just each of them having a on-and-off with the top % men for 20/80 rule to work.Perhaps because the ‘harem’ scenario doesn’t exist at all, it’s an incorrect term to describe people dating broadly and casually. It’s just beneficial to their argument at certain times to assume a man dating liberally accesses women who are committed, or women can’t be trusted because they always have options. Essentially whatever scenario will give men the most empathetic, but impressive agency. And women the most nefarious agency. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/04/23 07:57 PM |

| 3 | As a man, your perceived ability to get casual sex will define the tone of every long term relationship you haveWomen rarely compare singular actions of current lovers to prior ones indiscriminately. They only begin to compare when the overall level of content drops. So if a woman dated a guy who took her out every week, but is with a man who takes her out every other week, she probably won’t care. But she may start if other things compound to make her feel less secure. If a man can make a woman feel safe, content, and wanted, there will be no thoughts in her head of anything before him. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/04/23 03:08 PM |

They are a minority, just like the men who encourage men to cheat and lie. Women who do what you described are quickly labeled as LV, so what you’re complaining about is already being corrected for.

| 1 | Men's SMV doesn't actually increase with aging.A man’s SMV/RMV only increases if he has the capacity for self improvement. It’s strange to me that men just assume they will all be richer or learn how to engage in self control. Most people peak pretty soon into their 20s and stagnate or decline.

| 4 | the fundamental issue with most dating advice directed at men is most of it boils down to “be someone else entirely”Both men and women are asked to essentially cosplay as their grandparents in order to get laid. Difference is women get that training from birth, men are given more leeway to mold themselves individually before they are allowed to become attractive.

If I understand that men care absolutely about my looks and youth, but also are deeply upset that a woman may want him for his ability to please her, I also understand that men are not removed from emotional moralizing.

| 1 | When a girl says she loves you, what she loves is what you do for her, how you make her feel and the lifestyle she's able to participate in by being with you.I believe most people cannot live with the adjunct realism you suggest, seen through the abundance of BP/RP/PP people who cannot rationalize a relationship because they have to ‘trade’ affection to secure one. It does also dissuade people from dating at all because the intricacies of companionship, courting, and trust have been reduced to net worth and beta bux.

Attractiveness is one’s ability to gain the attention of their intended audience. I think men and women are on average mostly equally ugly/pretty.

| 6 | Why can’t women be good judges of male attractiveness?I’m not a man. It’s interesting to interpret your answer under the assumption that I am one though. I completely agree with you, I’m just curious of why men have a harder grasping the things women like vs not. Even within male taste, there are variations of what physical is and the type of physicality. Men are not as easy a sell as they think they are, you all still have taste and need certain things. Even if women go for vibe, why isn’t vibe appreciated as a concretely important thing to grab w… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 31/03/23 09:56 PM |

It’s about drastically changing your behavior to court, then shifting back to baseline when you think you have her. There are women who love doing all the things you think only men like to do.

Which I believe is a direct indication that you shouldn’t court that person. I get an abundance of pleasure from making my man happy. Not because I think it’ll earn me something, but because I like him, want to make him happy, and crave his happiness.

The problem with it is that it’s modern iteration has strayed far from its original form, and morphed into a money making, misogynist/misandrist/misanthropic machine.

And not the utility of that body (disregarding childbirth), it’s visual appeal. Men desire women more enmass almost completely due to physical attraction. Women don’t value this type of praise. If you took away a person’s perceived access to a woman’s body, she would never be valued more than a man. Equally at best. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/03/23 03:33 AM |

They are good looking, but honestly who cares? Will they be able to hold a conversation? Do they smell good? What hobbies can we share other than the generic ones they listed? I personally prefer a smiley, well dressed, energetic man who lives earnestly by his own standard.

| 3 | If A GF Can Post Bikini/Half Naked Pics, Can Her BF Like Other Women's Pics as well?I agree with this, but maybe the problem arrises because the definition of ‘thirst trap’ is dependent on male thirst, which has seemingly no limit. The argument could be made that any image has the capacity to capture the male gaze, simply defining ‘thirst trap’ as such makes any display suspect.

| 2 | Only women are told to ‘choose better’ whereas men are always the victimYour test case is wrong.

Their thought is that they can at least do good and have resources even if they don’t have a hand to hold. Men doing the opposite supports your take, but I don’t understand why men would stop achieving for themselves because they’re lonely.

| 1 | Modern day dating is basically a winner takes all market…If it went that long of a way, men would be tripping over themselves to get degrees and start businesses. It’s not that money gives them nothing, its that men cater so much to their sexual appetite that they forget they’d also like to be loved. So those that do make money still feel as if they have nothing, and men who don’t don’t attempt to because they know they only attract women who value their cashflow. Generating a portion of the nascent anger we see here everyday. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/02/23 06:30 PM |

They will date, sex down, and leave a woman they hate and are bored with if they can. Basic doesn’t matter more than access. So basic women do get something, just nothing she’d want.

| 2 | Modern day dating is basically a winner takes all market…Exactly. Women realized a long time ago that there was intrinsic labor to being attractive. Not just in the body but the mind. Especially if you wanted to be treated well on top of having access to sex. Men’s traditional attractive labor was literal labor. Now that has much less attractive value.

Or there are women who do do this, just not to you.

A man who has a moral system that he stands by, is willing to help his communities through service. He can take criticism, he can lead, and he can follow - his masculinity comes in his ability to work in any position to help a team or complete a goal, instead of using that strength to force his perspective.

I know something is better than nothing, but I believe those with nothing over-exaggerate the lives of those that do the vast majority of the time, a la all women have orbiters, successful men are swimming in HV tail, etc. Essentially, they are confusing equality and equity here: we are all free to play the game, but… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/02/23 01:44 PM |
| 2 | Most people agree that there are not enough high value men for all women, but we don't agree what causes itWomen are only so susceptible to oppression because they are physically smaller and weaker than men. And possibly because women internalize their aggression instead of externalizing it, making it more likely for them to compromise to less favorable conditions. In the same way that smaller men can be overpowered by larger men - we all deserve systems to prevent our overtaking from stronger forces. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/02/23 10:20 PM |

There are men saying women are incapable of monogamy and cannot be in long term relationships, which is laughably false. But it feeds their relationship anxiety so they hold onto it like a crutch.

| 4 | Alpha widow ?Completely agree. You can’t even label behavior as insecure, sensitive, or emotional without it being some way to shame men. As if men can’t be scared, sad, anxious, or irrational. We just take normal, ungendered dating realities and rehash it as the most villainous, gynocentric behavior possible. Tiring to say the least. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/01/23 09:31 PM |
| 8 | Alpha widow ?I think it’s depressing that men are so confident that other men traumatize women through their sexual contact with them. Like you just expect your fellow men to treat women so poorly that she is irreversibly changed. And the likelihood of that traumatizing behavior is so high, that simply knowing how many men she’s been with can be confidently used as a measure of her trauma. Do you ever ask yourself why you have this expectation or why you think so many men act like that? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/01/23 09:24 PM |

| 3 | PPD Men desire submissive partners because they can use their relationship as an ego stroke.I think women say that because women’s income expectations in dating is the only scenario where men don’t agree that more money is logically better. There are women who like high earners because they can’t earn themselves, sure. But there’s also a large subset who just don’t want to pay anyone’s way - a position I do think men would respect more if it wasn’t about them. And women do run into problems when they earn more than their partners. Some men feel emasculated just because they do, then re… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/01/23 05:26 PM |

It’s to say that the things you put in place to generate stability have a high likelihood of being your undoing if they stop working. Like yes, its very effective to make an unwavering bond if one pays the others way, but if you can’t pay, that’s often the exact reason why it begins to fall. But if your bond is based on emotional capacity, that’s much less likely to affected by things outside of your hands.

I know the retort is to say that it’s because I am not HV, but that perception is exactly why it doesn’t work. A man whose approached will either believe its a joke, trick, or simply an LV woman because she’s doing the asking.

Every day here for example, men will say women love psychopaths, drug dealers, and thugs just because they may pick a man whose more assertive than the person making the comment.

| 10 | PPD Men desire submissive partners because they can use their relationship as an ego stroke.So your romantic compatibility with a woman depends on your ability to lead her? It just seems very limiting and vaguely egocentric to expect your partners to be perpetually indebted to your guidance. Isn’t that exhausting? Do you not feel used in a way, knowing you can outmaneuver this adult and must to maintain the relationship? What is attractive about extending that mental power here? These are serious questions btw. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/01/23 03:37 PM |
| 11 | PPD Men desire submissive partners because they can use their relationship as an ego stroke.Not necessarily a problem, just incredibly unattractive to most women. Like stated, it cheapens the relationship because it’s less of a mutual sexual/emotional bond and more of a vehicle to make one party feel better about themselves. Plus it grounds all logical reasoning in the male sex, which is asinine at best. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/01/23 03:32 PM |

I agree that a woman’s emotional maturity in a relationship can often go unnoticed, but usually these behaviors are corrected outside of them. The way people treat platonic partners is so different from romantic ones, that’s part of the problem. It seems like men talk about these unstable, mean woman a bit.

| 3 | CMV: Women would not date or marry at all if presented with the same options as modern menThis is only a poignant thing to say if you devalue women who have had sex before meeting you. Some agree with you, most don’t. Just aim for women who meet this expectation. I know there are too little for your liking, but no one gets to demand that there are more people that they are compatible with. It’s an illogical ask. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/01/23 02:52 PM |

| 1 | Why women think their Degree/Money/Career of their own is importantGenuinely, yes. I know many men who expect their partners to keep up good conversation, or reflect their education status. None of the highly educated men I know date women who aren’t. Neither men nor women bring anything to a relationship other than their time, attraction, bodies, and commitment. It’s such a bad question to ask, this isn’t a job interview. The men who ask these questions tend to think a paycheck is enough. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/01/23 08:11 PM |

It’s why I believe women shouldn’t back down if their only critique is rudeness. We have a much higher expectation of civility for women and can push this expectation because we know women will care more about this accusation. We will also punish women more for being less agreeable, patient, or compassionate.

If the same question was posed without their ranking, responses would be different. Alot of women care about their n-count but not a man’s because they know their count will be marked against them. It’s a protective behavior rather than a lack of care for their partner. And didn’t I say these wo… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/12/22 01:34 PM |

| 2 | What opinions are you tired of hearing here and what dismissals are you tired of hearing?Thank you. It’s incredibly inappropriate to use population trends to determine individual behaviors. Idk why some people think they’re benefiting themselves by living by stats of global behavior instead of just…communicating with and understanding their own partners. Certainly adds to the widespread disillusion here. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/12/22 12:13 AM |
| 1 | Isn't it counter-intuitive for men who want sex to shame women for having sex?It’s not that you can’t be insecure, it’s that this isn’t a good enough threshold to end/reject a relationship over. If a woman you’d want had even had such an experience, you’re more than likely just competing with herself and her vibrator tbh. You greatly underestimate the pleasure women experience with doing anything with someone they care about vs some random guy. 9 times out of 10, a big dick, some cool techniques or a hot bod will not overcome the benefit of care, warmth, and familiarity. … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/12/22 10:17 PM |

For every random promiscuous famous man who women can’t keep their hands off of, there is an equal female equivalent. I don’t think many people want to prioritize a relationship with a 30+ n-PERSON, it’s a cope to believe these low n-count women you desire would desire you if you also aren’t low.

Irl, there’s probably an equal cost burden between the genders here. 2) Given the virtue signaling, you should only respect that woman for waiting.

The point is only the most attractive (physically AND personably) people could change these women’s behavior - modern women work to this benefit but men do not.

I love hearing men say they really just want love, but all their behaviors, interpretations and ultimate goals only lead to the most casual, random sex as possible.

| 14 | What is something you didn't know about the opposite sex until PPD? WEEKLY DISCUSSION THREAD‘Behaving like women’ is interesting. I think women resent men who think what they want is femininity when what the are asking for is respect. I also think men are sold a false script on what ‘real women’ are, thus seek out stereotypes of women more than women themselves. We’re just humans with vaginas who can’t run as fast. As you’re just a human who can’t carry children. The expectations of behavior above that are what gets us all in trouble. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/10/22 11:14 PM |

If boys believe that women and men want the same things from each other at the exact same rate AND view the way men will pine for the randomest of women, I could see many becoming disenfranchised in themselves and women if they can’t achieve their desires. Like if it really is the same both ways and women get all this attention, there must be something very wrong with a man who gets none.

| 1 | Has male cognitive dissonance towards women, completely taken over this sub?You’re confused. Men have been at a position of disproportional privilege - the male gaze colorizes most things, thus systems inherently work to your preferences. Feminism was an attempt to undo the universal gaze = male gaze to a more universal gaze = sex-neutral gaze. The unfairness men register now is simply getting less of what you want, a compromising position women have been sold for generations.

Positions like this are what make women disengage - a few materialistic women is enough to make such harsh, wildly inaccurate criticisms of our behavior.

Women have a fantastic and mostly easy time achieving orgasm on their own. Under most conditions of heterosexual sex, a woman will not. So, women choose to forgo sex to just do it themselves. Maybe there are reasons why the addition of a man makes orgasm much harder. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/10/22 05:06 PM |

| 1 | Why do RP guys try to shame women for desiring top 20% men?Completely agree - socialization is a hell of a drug and it hurts men much more in dating than women. Women’s standards only seem high because we are more willing to ascend the sexual standard. I want this so badly for men as well, but maybe its harder because the socialization is much more limiting for men and you still get too much social capital for engaging in it. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/10/22 08:28 PM |

Just like men want women. That’s why they cry, they know being needed means nothing in comparison to desire. To choose to be there instead of being required to be. No one wants to be alone, men are just taught to show their distraught differently I think. And most women would agree with you on the last point - I figure it should be the standard for everyone.
