| 12 | If evolutionary psychology/hypergamy was true, shouldn't it be men who beautify themselves instead of women?I honestly think that's just because it's not relevant to attraction unless it reaches a certain ratio. The height/weight ratio is important for both genders but skewed towards height for men and weight for women. Personally I don't think anyone really pushes the being "rake thin" stuff on women anymore other than the media. No guy cares about the difference between 18bmi and 23bmi. Tbh 18bmi probably looks unnervingly famished. Back in the 2000s I'd agree but now I don't think it's remotely the… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/02/24 11:30 PM |
| 5 | If evolutionary psychology/hypergamy was true, shouldn't it be men who beautify themselves instead of women?This is not helping your case at all lol. I don't mean to be rude but this response cracked me up xD. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/02/24 11:16 PM |
| 13 | If evolutionary psychology/hypergamy was true, shouldn't it be men who beautify themselves instead of women?The belly podge is because men store more fat in their bellies than women do. Obviously it's still an obesity thing, but it's just why their bellies go out faster like that. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/02/24 11:13 PM |
| 6 | If evolutionary psychology/hypergamy was true, shouldn't it be men who beautify themselves instead of women?Maybe in the 2000s when heroin chic was at its absurdist and every female tv show character had to have a bmi of 18. But nowdays healthy bmi is better than average because most people are above that. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/02/24 11:09 PM |
| 1 | Are male dating coaches ruining modern dating?You can be an asshole all you like. Trying to justify your "I just wanna fuck everyone" fantasy by claiming every guy has it is still really immature. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/02/24 03:13 PM |
| 0 | Are male dating coaches ruining modern dating?Well I can immediately think of several people I know in real life who would prefer to just partner up with one of those women. Plenty of guys are monogamous and care deeply about having an intimate emotional relationship. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/02/24 02:59 PM |
| 1 | Are male dating coaches ruining modern dating?That isn't remotely true. There are loads of guys whos dream is to have a family. Not all guys enjoy it find casual sex appealing. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/02/24 10:34 AM |
| 2 | Is the online dating phenomenon reflective of real life?It's just how people talk about you. There is this always on implication that you are destructive and unruly, that your nature is violent and thuggish and not good like girls. As you grow up you realise no one desires you. Unlike girls your appearance doesn't matter, it's literally just your height. No makeup or clothes or working out can fix that. No one will ever call you pretty or good looking, you'll be er get compliments, be abuse everyone just thinks men are ugly. Their only physical worth… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/02/24 10:20 AM |
| 2 | Is the online dating phenomenon reflective of real life?I think the problem there is that from a very young age it's all "boys will be boys" and "men!". From your parents, from your teachers, from girls in your class. You very quickly learn that you are someone who is to be put up with, not wanted. Girls have inherent value (however creepy that is) and boys are burdens. Boys are truly raised to think they are worthless because of their gender, and that they need it make up for being a parasite on society by giving back to it. They need to make money,… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/02/24 02:25 PM |
| 5 | Looking for your opinions or comments on a poll I conducted at a university. Could you share your honest thoughts?It may not necessarily be bad intentions. I'm lucky enough to have a higher paying job than most my friends and I get genuine enjoyment from buying things for them so we can enjoy them together. It's a nice feeling to be able to provide for people. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/02/24 01:16 PM |
| 8 | Is the online dating phenomenon reflective of real life?Yeah buts that because a lot of guys feel their money is all they are worth. Society generally tells men that unless they look like an Adonis then they are just fatso dadbod nobody who is only worth their paycheck. And it also says men are cruel and predatory and stupid and violent, and that women put up with that rather than liking mens personalities.

| – | The gender divide has become undeniable , can anything be done to solve this?In a world where a bunch of men have been cut off from any and all physical/emotional connection because of how they were born, whether it's height, autism or face etc, it's the one kindness we can allow them. It doesn't really matter what you think. You already decided they are cringe and pathetic, so your opinion on what they do with their lives is kind of a waste to listen to. You can do your own thing and other people will try and make sure they are ok. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/01/24 06:13 PM |
| 4 | Dating advice, therapy bait-and-switchNo they don't say it or actually think it, but it is the logical follow on from the terrible semi irritated advice they try to give people. It's exactly like op says it goes: "Where can I meet women" "At clubs like Dance or Art" "I'm not very good at Dance, should I still do it?" "Well actually you shoudln't go to clubs just to meet Women. You should only do it because you like the club." "Ok but I want advice on meeting women, that's what I asked for."

Some of it is really horrible. I'm sure some people will consider what I wrote above a generalisation. And all I can say is I'm not trying to be hateful or gross. I just want people to be more aware of how they are coming across when they write their replies. As for commiseration, I don't think that should be goal.

| 3 | Dating advice, therapy bait-and-switchI'm not sure what you are asking but not saying that wanting to be single is bad. That's literally me. I like being single, I've grown accustomed to it and I couldn't imagine the tedium of having to share stuff with someone else. But just because I like it doesn't mean it's good advice to tell people they have to become like me before they can consider a relationship. Some people need a relationship because it's just how they are, it's in their genes or how they were raised. It's not appropriate… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/01/24 09:03 PM |
| 1 | Women on Reddit do not represent normal, every day girls and so the dialogue and “blue pill” opinions here are irrelevant to most menWell frankly cause in my opinion it isn't really failures or successful people. It's people who weren't born with it and people who werent. The people who are born with it can't give any useful advice because no advice you can give can change the genetics that creates someones face or the way they think. It's like being born into a rich family and given £250 million to start your own business trying to give advice to someone who was born into abject poverty and has been rejected from every job o… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/01/24 09:01 PM |
| 2 | Women on Reddit do not represent normal, every day girls and so the dialogue and “blue pill” opinions here are irrelevant to most menHonestly I think this is what makes a lot of the advice on this subreddit so terrible. If you are well adjusted and have never been through what someone who is suffering has been through, how on earth can you just sit from on high saying "well have you tried X, have you tried Y". It just seems so demeaning and smug. Especially when it's like "I'm not being smug, I'm just trying to be nice", that just makes it even more smug. There's honestly no point most the guys and girls on this subreddit tal… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/01/24 07:33 PM |
| 20 | Dating advice, therapy bait-and-switchThe new evolution of this is: "Why do you (men) even want sex/a relationship. Women can be happy single, why can't you. If you can't be happy single then how can you be happy in a relationship?" And tbh this really just tells you everything you need to know about these kinds of people. They don't enjoy being in relationships and are giving people advice about how to better get one. It's a giant foghorn to not listen to any advice anyone gives you on this subreddit. Everyone here (including me) h… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/01/24 07:26 PM |
| 1 | Women, how often do you make a guy (you like) wait for sex while having an active FWB on the side?It's about the deceit. If you fear one guy would no longer date you cause he found out you were sleeping with someone else, so you don't tell him and hide it, then that's an awful way to start a relationship. The whole point of dating is feeling out of a relationship could work. If you are lying (even by omission) then you aren't showing the guy the real you so he isn't able to judge the relationship correctly. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/01/24 04:37 PM |

| 1 | Most of what gets called “manipulation” and “grooming” seems to be just seduction people don’t likeIt's less about needing to be offended and more humans needing to feel disadvantages to protect their self esteem. If you can feel disadvantaged or embattled then it's not your fault you can't do x or y, it's "whoever is disagreeing with you"s fault. Kids don't like finding out they are part of 250+ years of slavery and oppression or colonialism so they need to find a way to portray themselves as victims of it too. Making yourself an ally against it let's them feel like a political underdog. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/01/24 04:17 PM |
| – | Modern dating strategy: Dating multiple people before being exclusive - Are males against this?Oh please. Go look at any of the celebrity gossip subreddits and it's 100% women bullying men and women. Look at FauxMoi and how they talk about Selena Gomez. Get a grip. Your comparison was asinine and dumb. Your reaction to guys being forced to put themselves into a horrible situation was "uh yah but I can put myself into a bad situation if I wanted to and then it's bad for me too!". The entire point is that guys don't have a choice. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/01/24 04:50 PM |
| – | Modern dating strategy: Dating multiple people before being exclusive - Are males against this?People can but they won't because they are people. When it's something like being fat which is totally within your control, you are going to be doubly critisized for it, especially when it's optional for you to post in the first place. Like why even make this comparison? Guys have to approach or they will literally die virgins. Guys have literally no choice. It's completely optional for fat people to post vids of themselves on insta, both being fat, and posting the video. What made you think thi… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/01/24 04:25 PM |
| – | Modern dating strategy: Dating multiple people before being exclusive - Are males against this?The thing is I think it sounds kind of creepy and controlling to say this kind of thing on a first date. But I would expect it just out of etiquette. Like it should just be an unspoken thing people are able to all agree on. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/01/24 01:44 PM |
| – | Modern dating strategy: Dating multiple people before being exclusive - Are males against this?Definitely not a valid excuse. I'm not dating, but if I was, I would never go out with someone if I knew they had other dates planned during the week. I'd only be interested in someone who shares the same interest in me. It just makes them seem narcissistic and lacking in self control if they are unable to date just one person at the same time. I cannot imagine such a person is capable of a healthy relationship if they can't even start off at a point of not needing multiple peoples attention at … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/01/24 01:40 PM |
| – | Modern dating strategy: Dating multiple people before being exclusive - Are males against this?Why would you post a video of yourself on instagram if you know you are unattractive? It literally has no benefit. I would never post a video or photo of myself online because I know I am ugly. I'm not expecting the universe to take pity on me and make it somehow not be a bad idea. Humans don't like ugly people, that's just life. That example is stupid anyway because they can just lose weight. It's so ridiculously easy and simple and it's literally just willpower.

| 1 | How important Is losing virginity for women now?Eastern countries do a lot of fucked up shit and are generally fucked up in a lot of ways. I don't think they are a good baseline. Just because they are less developed does not mean they are closer to being "natural". They are less developed because they have historically been fucked up by constant war, disease, religion and politics. They are examples of societies destroyed by mistakes, not natural purity. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/01/24 01:24 PM |

| 5 | Is approaching women something men are stopping to do? Is it also frowned upon? Also is male sexuality demonized?Dating apps and then deciding all third places are off limits for approaching. But it's not like it was a group decision or a conscious one. It's just a natural result of dating apps existing. It's just unfortunate. Not anyones fault. People don't like cold approaches if they already have partners. Dating apps mean people can get partners more easily than at third spaces. Ergo, when they arrive at third spaces, they already have partners, and now are the type of person to not want to be cold app… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/01/24 12:09 PM |
| 3 | Is approaching women something men are stopping to do? Is it also frowned upon? Also is male sexuality demonized?Do you get called a spinster or old maid? What exactly do you think the incel insult is? Or older than that, virgin? I don't know if it's because women's virginity is seen as a thing to be taken (creepy as fuck) so they don't get the insults about it. But from like 14 onwards, guys get called virgins to insult and demean them and imply they aren't real men. It is literally non stop virgin shaming from the moment you hit puberty, from peers and authority figures, even parents. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/01/24 12:05 PM |

I normally find this subreddit pretty anti-woman and pro-man but jeez this thread seems to have rabidly attracted all the people who are the opposite way. So much shitting on men in here.

You can think someone is sexually attractive without lusting after someone. Having self control is pretty easy. But if you’d rather just be offended than understand, whatever.

It's not than every man finds anything female looking attractive, it's that men have a wider variety in the types of women they like, so when you add all men together, it ends up covering most women.

Do you think that should be disgusting? It doesn't seem incoherent to me that people find people within the ages of 18-50 attractive, even if they grow beyond that age themselves.

Its very possible to not lust after someone even if you think they are physically attractive. Just because a guy is attracted to someone on a glance doesn't mean they are lusting after them.

They aren't going around looking at women thinking about their private parts. Yeah they'll be attracted to them, but its not walking around thinking about their genitals.

It ended up getting me a well paid comp sci career so maybe it was worth it but it definitely destroyed me socially.

That's the one that thinks men and women are basically different species. Hence why they are so rabidly anti transgender. Third wave feminism is about living up to your own expectations instead of being told what you are by other people such as 2nd wave feminists. 2nd wave feminism is genx and early millenials.

He's not Corbyn but at least it's the right side of the fence and gives younger party members with a more left wing attitude more of a chance. People are way too down on Kier. Blair was the same and the UK made massive left wing strides in the early 2000s. Besides someone like Corbyn won't win for a long time.

I can't remember the percentages, but after they stopped punishing kids for being left handed, it shot up from like 5% of people to 40% of people. Whatever the numbers, the point is, it was always the higher number, but people were just hiding it to avoid punishment / ostracization. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/12/23 04:13 PM |

| 11 | Why do men feel entitled to romance and or intimacy?Because that's what they were taught their entire lives growing up by their parents, teachers and entertainment. Everything guys are taught growing up is "you will go out into the world and be yourself and find someone just like you and get married". Guys were watching romcoms and being told the tale of Mr./Mrs. Right too. I truly honestly think the only difference between the majority of men and women is that men have to make the first step. They don't have different attitudes or beliefs about … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/11/23 06:48 PM |
| 1 | The one factor that ruins many marriages that we're apparently not allowed to discuss: childrenYeah I don't get the impression it's common, it just seemed quite extreme which is probably why it popped into my head when I read this post. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/11/23 06:41 PM |
| 2 | Just rewatched Forrest Gump and it made me think about dating a lotI'm not defending her I'm telling you the plot of the movie, of which half seems to have completely gone over your head. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/11/23 04:33 PM |
| 2 | Just rewatched Forrest Gump and it made me think about dating a lotShe comes back to him because her entire life is broken and she is at her lowest point and she is thinking "if everything is this bad then maybe I should go back to the only place I felt love" and then she sleeps with him. And guess what? She wakes up thinking she just raped him and yeah no shit she runs away again and then when she finds out she is pregnant she decides not to trap the person she thinks she raped in a relationship with his rapist and his rape baby. This is quite literally the tr… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/11/23 04:07 PM |
| 20 | The one factor that ruins many marriages that we're apparently not allowed to discuss: childrenJust an interesting note, a long long time ago I saw a woman comment on Reddit that ever since she had children, she saw her husband's interest in her breasts as disgusting and infantile. Like she perceived him as having a fetish. She said she so associated them with breastfeeding now that it creeped her out and disgusted her that he liked them. She didn't feel that way before childbirth / breastfeeding but did after. I wonder how common that is or if she is a one off. I never really heard about… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/11/23 12:55 PM |
| -1 | Just rewatched Forrest Gump and it made me think about dating a lotWell yeah because she was afraid to love him. Her experience of love from a very young age was being raped and abused by her father. In her mind, love and abuse were the same thing. There's a scene that I think is cut for TV syndication sometimes, where Jenny is at college and gets Forrest to touch her breast. A moment where she experiments moving past her trauma. Its a tender moment between them and Forrest prematurely goes off and gets freaked out. Jenny sees him scared and thinks she had mole… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/11/23 12:50 PM |
| 7 | Just rewatched Forrest Gump and it made me think about dating a lotYeah I think a lot of guys in thread are missing 2 things about the movie: Jenny deeply loves Forrest, and given the choice she would of chosen to be with him since she was young. Her father raping her traumatised her and made her think she would be doing the same to Forrest, and she spends the rest of her life unpacking that trauma. She is not fucking around till she needs a steady guy. She wants to be with Forrest the whole time but is convinced it would make her a rapist so she stays away. Wh… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/11/23 08:36 AM |
| 2 | Just rewatched Forrest Gump and it made me think about dating a lotShe slept with him because her love for him finally won out over her thinking it would be rape and then she ran away after because she woke up once again thinking it was rape and that she was a rapist. It took years of raising a kid like him for her to realise that he was capable of making choices and consenting. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/11/23 08:27 AM |
| 5 | Just rewatched Forrest Gump and it made me think about dating a lotShe wasn't selfish, she was just mistaken. She loved Forrest but thought it would be abuse to sleep with him. She ran away so it couldn't happen and so hopefully he'd forget about her. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/11/23 08:00 AM |
| 3 | Just rewatched Forrest Gump and it made me think about dating a lotShe wasn't saving Forrest for sloppy seconds. She loved Forrest since she was a kid but she thought it would be rape to sleep with him. She left so he would forget about her and then started abusing herself due to her feelings for him and comparing herself to her father because of them. At her lowest most self destryctive point she returns and sleeps with him and is so horrified at what she's done that she takes off with intention of returning. She is forced to when she finds out she is dying an… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/11/23 07:17 AM |
| 3 | Just rewatched Forrest Gump and it made me think about dating a lotTechnically she did want him but because her father raped her she didn't want to take advantage of Forest in the same way. She was unpacking a lot of trauma her whole life and was only able to return to Forrest once she has a kid like him and better understood that he was making his own choices. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/11/23 07:12 AM |
| 6 | Just rewatched Forrest Gump and it made me think about dating a lotShe cares enough to run away and abuse herself out if guilt. After like 30 years of that she gives in to him and sleeps with him and is so guilt ridden that she runs away again. Like her entire character arc is about understanding that what her father did to her is not the same as her relationship with Forrest. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/11/23 07:08 AM |
| 1 | Just rewatched Forrest Gump and it made me think about dating a lotYou know that's like the entire driving force of the story right? She was raped and then falls in love with him and then fears raping him so she runs away and abuses herself out of guilt. That just repeats the entire movie. The whole point of her character arc is her learning to move past her trauma and live a happy life with a man who loves her. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/11/23 07:03 AM |
| -2 | Just rewatched Forrest Gump and it made me think about dating a lotShe married him because she loved him and always did. Her entire conflict in the movie is that she was raped as a child and doesn't want to repeat the cycle with Forrest who maybe can't consent properly. She loves Forrest and has this constant battle with herself that he can/can't consent. She eventually sleeps with him and becomes so guiltridden that she runs away. Then she has a kid and doesn't want to force him on Forrest. When she gets sick she has no choice but to ask for his help, a d I th… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/11/23 07:00 AM |

| -2 | Are women actually jealous of their taken guy friends or happy for them much more often?Sure women react differently, but just in terms of how guys react, I think it would go that way. If you are talking about strangers helping strangers, guys tend not to do that because it's dangerous / you could be accused of something. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/11/23 12:59 PM |
| 0 | Are women actually jealous of their taken guy friends or happy for them much more often?Not saying it's right or wrong, but if you asked a guy whether he'd help his male friend change a tyre at 2am, or a female friends tyre at 2am, I know who he'd say "tmmr" too and who he'd get up and go help. Tbh I don't think it's 100% sexual. I think there an element of wanting to protect someone too. Less worry about a male friend being out at night with a bad tyre. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/11/23 12:46 PM |
| 4 | Dear women of PPD, what do you think - is this place suitable for constructive discussion?That mega comes off as white saviour complex to me. If the women in other countries want it, who are women here to say no? The reality is, the genders in some other countries have these situations switched. Lots of women in different cultures are trying to marry up because their society is more patriarchal so their society doesn't value them like a western one does. A lot of them are probably happy to meet a guy with money to travel and is less patriarchal. Men in your country don't belong to yo… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/11/23 08:54 PM |
| 4 | Dear women of PPD, what do you think - is this place suitable for constructive discussion?I think it's more like men and women are at two different stages of the dating game and it creates immeasurable frustration and misunderstanding. Men are frustrated at women, because a woman can just walk into a pub or restaurant, announce she'll date whoever approaches her first, and walk out with a date. Women are frustrated at men, because even though they could do the above, like you say, getting someone who would actually be a cultural match in such a situation, is nearly zero, and it would… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/11/23 07:23 PM |
| 2 | Are men here weaponizing their victimhood against women?I mean they clearly aren't oppressed but that doesn't mean people can't talk crap about their gender. Being rich is also a pretty big deal for being able to get into things like politics and acting. But I don't see people saying women aren't oppressed because some women are rich. This is fundamentally the problem a lot of straight white guys have. They don't really benefit from the patriarchy but still get blamed for it. They are poor, get penalised by diversity regimes, their education was trea… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/11/23 04:19 PM |
| – | Why don’t women want men to help fix things?Usually it's because you are avoiding the solution because it's emotionally difficult to deal with for one reason or another. Like people with social anxiety being afraid to make a phone call. Fairly common problem for them. If they vent that to someone "solution orientated" often they just get told to make the call because nothing bad can happen. Which is true. But to the person with anxiety, they feel like the other person is getting angry at them or judging them for not doing something "Obvio… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/11/23 12:52 PM |
| 0 | Are men here weaponizing their victimhood against women?As to empathy - a lot of women really have empathy for hardships of men. Men that demand more empathy, what do you expect? To be given relatinships or sex out of pity? Empathy is listening to you and at least trying to understand. I don't really think this is the problem. I think people just want subreddits like Fauxmoi to stop bashing men at every opportunity. There's probably 5 Hot threads a day on that subreddit that devolve into "because men", blaming Men for everything bad in the world. I j… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/11/23 12:48 PM |

| 2 | Technology killed regular socialization and that’s why dating is so hard now.I had a big friend group at school but my mum wouldn't let me hang out with them after school because she didn't want me to become "delinquent". They were less than a 20m walk away through a nice neighbourhood so I could easily have done it if I was allowed. This is bearing in mind my friend group was the quiet nerdy group that all the teachers loved. But my parents seemed convinced that if we left the house unsupervised we would turn into chavs and start throwing bricks through windows and stuf… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/11/23 12:35 PM |

But... you can do all that, and still end up in the same place. I have friends who are well rounded and can't get dates. They've got hobbies they do for fun, they have jobs, they like themselves, but they want that last thing, which is someone to share their life with. It's like the only advice is "just do it again, go become more well rounded again, go love yourself more till you don't care about dating". In a way I guess it kind of makes se… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/11/23 09:34 PM |

The most common exchange I see when someone tries to get dating advice on reddit is: Guy: Where else can I meet people. Other: You need to expand your social circle, get a hobby, make friends.

| 1 | Women Love to Invalidate Men's ExperiencesOkay well I don't see it like that. It's just I feel like they are more personally invested in you getting better which feels like it puts more pressure on me to actually show improvement between sessions, which I can't always do, which makes me want to quit. Male doctors feel like they care less so I'm less stressed going into them and can talk more freely. I have had total arsehole male therapists kind of like what you described there. I actually had one berate me and call me rude because I di… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/11/23 06:19 PM |
| 8 | Women Love to Invalidate Men's ExperiencesMen even prefer female therapists over talking to a man who would potentially understand more about his “lived experience”. That's really interesting. I prefer male therapists/doctors because I feel like they will care less and be less judgemental. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/11/23 05:22 PM |
| 10 | CMV: Normal women get ignored.I think you have a pretty extreme version of it in your head. A "nice guy" is usually a guy who hangs around forever in the friendzone never making an approsch because he thinks if he is just "nice" then romance will flair. This obviously doesnt work but they dont know what else to do because theyve been taught since they were young to never approach women directly. He is doomed to watch her date and break up with others, each one she calls an asshole, and then immediately dates another just lik… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/11/23 12:34 AM |
| 3 | The things I've learned from 3 years of online dating from my own lived experience. What things have you learned?Yeah but what actually are their options. They get told off or treated coldly for approaching someone in real life. You can't approach someone at a cafe or sports places or library anyone. "I came here to read, not to be hit on" etc is the response they get. They can't do it work because if someone takes it the wrong way then they could lose their jobs. The only safe place to hit on women is bars and clubs and a lot of people aren't bar and club people and may not even have a bar and club friend… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/08/23 09:02 AM |
| 2 | Did Shapiro even try?Theres a bit more to it than that. There is also Gender Euphoria which is the opposite (feeling happy when seeing oneself as the desired sex) and other stuff. Different people experience and express it in different ways. People only really hear the "i knew i was trans since i was little" or "i always felt i looked wrong" story but that is just one possibility. Its like if people assumed every lesbian only had buzzcuts and wore tank tops. There is a lot of "lol 99 genders" stuff on reddit but rea… | /r/PussyPassDenied | 29/03/17 09:12 PM |
