| 2 | How do you avoid desperation and despair as you get older?Hey man, I'm 31 in the same position, it is what it is. I will say that you should lose yourself in hobbies as much as you can. I personally organize fighting game tournaments for people in the my area and I volunteer at some nerdcon crap every year. Even if you suck at something, it's not a bad idea to try out some new hobbies and see if anything interests you. It's not a glamorous life, but I've made some friends with some of the people in their 20s and that is basically what I live for nowada… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/02/24 08:46 AM |
| 1 | How many here are still virgins in their 20s? What is your reason for that?30M, I'm not very good looking, average height, below average weight (rather skinny), boring personality, went bald at 20 and started shaving it all off, but my head doesn't look good bald either and I grow a terrible neckbeard. I also went to an engineering college and dropped out and now work for under 40K a year (which is medium income where I live).I've owned my own trailer/car for 9 years, but outside of WFH and running gaming tournaments every week, I don't meet women. I wouldn't know how … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/11/22 04:53 AM |

| 1 | Are there men here who are happy or content to be single?I'm Forever Alone, so I've always been single/never had any female attention or whatever. I'm mostly content because I do weekly meetups with friends/acquaintances and play games or go to the arcade and have a decent working environment with my co-workers. But to say I'm content or happy with this all the time or that it'll always be this way is wrong. I'm really sad and lonely some days, which is when I come on here and try to kill the feelings of longing and fear of missing out. I feel like I'… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/07/21 12:02 AM |
| 3 | Daily Community Chat MegathreadNever in my life have I seen a woman actually show interest in any man IRL. I also don't see guys flirting with gals either to be fair. Feels like strangers don't talk with other strangers unless they have common interests or are doing some kind of event or activity together. I'm more afraid to actually speak to women or show them any sort of interest though in case that gets me in trouble though (I'm an organizer for events and I fear being cancelled). It's safer to assume that they want nothin… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/06/21 05:39 AM |
| 2 | New Data from the Telegraph indicate that levels of sexlessness among young men are still steadily increasing, just 34% of male University students report being sexually active while studying at University and 43% report never having had sex.I would meet pretty much anyone for the first time, so I'd be open to that, but I'm skeptical that mothers are looking for prospective dates for their daughters in the US. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/06/21 07:24 AM |
| 1 | Men get their nice guy ideas from high school movies and the anime harem genre.Otome visual novels are extremely popular in the USA, do they give women unrealistic views of men? Most otome protagonists are carbon copies of each other, often weak-willed women with no brain cells or agency who have several extremely handsome men courting them, usually aggressively. A lot of harem protagonists are oblivious, but kind men who attract several women, but don't react to their advances or play dumb. Fiction is fiction in the end, if men or women get unrealistic views of others fro… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/06/21 06:25 PM |
| 0 | Men get their nice guy ideas from high school movies and the anime harem genre.Everyone hates Makoto from School Days. He's often in listicles of "Most hated anime main characters". Clannad is also not a harem anime, but it is a slice of life romance tragicomedy. Bad example. Additionally, otome VNs are absolutely dominating the VN market in the US. Most VNs that even come out physically over here are otomes. It's very, *very* rare for non-otome VNs to get physical copies here. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/06/21 06:12 PM |
| 2 | Who here is generally happy with their life?I'm kinda in your position. I actually like my life and wouldn't change much. I've never been in a relationship so I don't know if it's even something I want/need. Tried to get one, but I don't think I meet the standards for one. Kinda stuck and getting more stuck as I go on with no experience. So basically 90% happy, but 10% sad/lonely/frustrated. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/06/21 01:55 AM |
| – | New Data from the Telegraph indicate that levels of sexlessness among young men are still steadily increasing, just 34% of male University students report being sexually active while studying at University and 43% report never having had sex.I think she tells others that her 28 y.o. son is still single and he's looking for a girlfriend. Not wrong, but it's not amounted to anything. Kinda embarrassing though. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/06/21 01:49 AM |
| – | New Data from the Telegraph indicate that levels of sexlessness among young men are still steadily increasing, just 34% of male University students report being sexually active while studying at University and 43% report never having had sex.Ugh, my mom talks my non-existent love life to her co-workers and friends. I've lived by myself for over a decade now. I think she's slowly been transitioning to the "Are you gay?" question, which is probably worse, lol. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/06/21 09:55 PM |
| 0 | The people of r/PurplePillDebate are smart, but ignoring the simple obvious fact...I think another thing that hasn't been brought up is that if you go out and look around yourself, you're only seeing those more extroverted people there. Maybe I'm just speaking for myself but a lot of younger people (mostly men) don't even go outside and do stuff anymore and instead just live in isolation. Whenever I go out, I've literally never seen anyone under the age of 35 in a relationship, never seen a guy hitting on a girl, or any sort of romantic/sexual display at all a single time in p… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/06/21 10:50 AM |

| 1 | Everybody is having less sex, it's just easier for womenDunno, depends if a woman takes an interest in me. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/06/21 03:53 AM |
| 2 | Everybody is having less sex, it's just easier for womenI'm a 28 y.o. FT employee who makes less than 30k a year playing games instead of chasing gals. It's way more fun to play games and I wouldn't even know what to do with a girl at this point anyways. That's life. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/06/21 07:16 PM |

| 1 | Sex just isnt worth as much as some of you think it isNot an RPer here, but it'd be nice to be in love/relationship and it'd be nice to have sex. Most adults have done these things, so when you can't get whichever you prefer (or either) and you get older and you haven't done the things that the majority of modern humans have done, you feel stuck and left behind. And the more time that passes, the harder it gets and the more left behind you feel. Aren't these things considered milestones in a human's development? I feel like I'm still a child and ca… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/05/21 06:36 AM |
| 14 | Just world phenomenon and its consequencesThis is a thread about the Just World fallacy. Just because other unattractive people can get into a relationship doesn't mean every unattractive person can. That would be fallacious.Priorities eventually change when they realize the world isn't fair. You can absolutely start off "thinking it's not possible for you to succeed" and move your mindset to one where "it's not important to you". | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/05/21 04:23 AM |
| 2 | Heterosexual Men's hobbies are not constrained by women's expectations.I don't go out much, but when I do I don't see anyone else my age speaking to anyone else. I've legit never seen flirting in-person before at anything I've been to. Everyone seems to be in their own pre-established groups and not open to being bothered by random guys. I'm very apprehensive about talking to women since everyone seems so busy and doesn't want to talk, combine that with the "men should never approach or talk to us" sentiments I have read from women online, I've never asked anyone o… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/05/21 02:13 AM |
| 14 | Just world phenomenon and its consequencesTrue, but I disagree with the notion that you should keep trying to push a boulder up a hill that isn't budging. I don't think there is anything wrong with giving up on intimacy, love, relationships, what have you. It's a tough path that I'm trying to reach acceptance. There's no reason to be depressed about it, when there are other people who have worse problems. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/05/21 01:57 AM |
| 23 | What are *your* current dating/sex problems?Being lower class, low ambition and no life goals, unattractive, poor social skills, and high-inhibition virginal man who maybe catches a glimpse of a woman that isn't a co-worker/client/service person every couple years. Can't remember the last time I talked to one in person, probably since high school. It's not going great. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/05/21 09:32 AM |
| 2 | Heterosexual Men's hobbies are not constrained by women's expectations.Depends on your age group too, I'd imagine. Nerdy stuff is fine for Gen Z, but I'm late 20s and finding women who like or even tolerate this stuff is impossible. I also live in a rural area though, which doesn't help. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/05/21 06:15 AM |
| 6 | Heterosexual Men's hobbies are not constrained by women's expectations.Definitely feels that way to me if I'm to have any success dating, but I'm having a hard time coming to terms with that and not sure I even like 3D women enough to bother. Do you think it was worth purging anime (to you)? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/05/21 06:06 AM |

| 6 | Heterosexual Men's hobbies are not constrained by women's expectations.Depends on how you look/how charismatic you are. A lot of ugly/unattractive guys tend towards these types of hobbies and that stunts their social skills since they are mostly solitary activities/interests. People will crap on your hobbies no matter what you are into, so it doesn't really matter what they think. Problem is a lot of people still tend to think of hardcore nerds/gamers as losers and most women aren't on the same power level; so when these types of people interact, there is a social … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/05/21 05:31 AM |
| 1 | What do people mean when they say women don’t want to settle down until they are 30 or ‘old’?Hell if I know. If something says that, I figure they don't want to be bothered by men, so I've never been. Do women actually want to meet men? Usually people who go to bars and stuff go with their little circle of friends and they aren't open to meeting new people. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/05/21 12:43 AM |
| 1 | What do people mean when they say women don’t want to settle down until they are 30 or ‘old’?I'm 28, midwest USA (city of about 100-200K). There's a lot of women's only events here, such as women's night at bowling allies, bars, clubs, etc. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/05/21 12:06 AM |

| 1 | Divorce rape and other horror stories are men who decide to marry party sluts ' own fault.Good for you? Did you not read the OP? I nearly direct quoted the description of herself. If you're a homebody you're not gonna meet many new people. Additionally, I've never heard or met an extroverted homebody, so I think introverted people tend to be more reclusive. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/05/21 08:08 AM |
| 3 | What do people mean when they say women don’t want to settle down until they are 30 or ‘old’?For cold approaches for an average man, 1% is godlike. Usually it takes hundreds of attempts to maybe get a girl to want to go on a date with you. Warm approaching at events/hobbies has a best success rate, but a lot of women don't like to go to mixed events and instead opt for women's only events. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/05/21 07:52 AM |
| 2 | Divorce rape and other horror stories are men who decide to marry party sluts ' own fault.How are we supposed to find a shy, introverted, homebody who doesn't like clubbing and bar hopping? I'm guilty of those things as a man and I'd love to date one! Sadly these two types of people never meet since they don't leave the house and men who are in this position don't get matches on online dating either. Que sera, sera. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/05/21 02:03 PM |
| 27 | Is the number of single older men going to increase?what are the implications?Probably, I run in video game and anime circles (late 20s and early 30s). One guy is getting married, rest of us are single and mostly virginal. I'm sure some of these guys will eventually find a girl or go girl themselves (no joke, I know 2 MtFs in this community, which is a higher amount than the amount of biological women I know in these groups). Probably a lot more suicide and increasing mental illness prevalence. I've contemplated it myself, but taking care of cats and drinking boxed wine w… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/05/21 11:45 AM |

| 17 | Do you hate being attracted to wo/men?I don't hate being attracted to women, but I wish I could kill the longing/loneliness. I think I'm too far gone to get into an intimate relationships at this point in my life. It would be nice to turn it off now. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/05/21 12:30 PM |
| 3 | Even if more people could be in relationships instead of being single, it could only fix so muchI figure it's a skill you can get better at with more practice (relationship skills), but it seems like something that is harder to get experience with nowadays for more mediocre guys. I'm lonely, but I don't know if being a relationship would fix that or not since I've never been in one. I've never loved anyone or any such thing, so I'm not sure how to do that stuff yet. I'm willing to admit that I'd be a poor partner, but everyone has to start somewhere, right? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/04/21 01:30 PM |
| 2 | Q4M: Exactly how much should you bend over backwards sacrificing your hobbies and likes just to appeal to women?Yeah, I was getting to be more socialable and less closed-off in 2019.

I help run nerd conventions and gaming tournaments in my area. Despite being one of the organizers for these events, I'm still a virgin at 28, never had a girlfriend or relationship of any sort. Very, very few women are into nerd stuff openly and much less into nerdy guys. A lot of my friends in these groups are all men who are as da… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/04/21 05:35 AM |
| 1 | If men here are so bothered by educated and careerist women, why don't they date someone from a lower class?In what currency? 70K is well over what you need to live in any non-major city in the US. I make under 30K full time and own my own/house car in a small city. Your scale of money is odd. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/03/21 01:54 AM |
| 1 | It’s the role of friends to help teach you how to date not your parentsI've had friends in high school who weren't able to get dates and the one that did kept his relationship under wraps and didn't talk about it much. At 28 now, most of my friendships are with men who are in college (I'm not myself) and older men than me who are also single and not able to get dates. Not sure where men are supposed to learn how to date if their male friends also aren't able to get dates. Guy friends typically don't talk about relationship stuff either, in my experience. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/03/21 09:43 PM |

I gave up online dating after 1 year of 2-3 matches, only 1 date with a homeless, convicted felon who was 8 years younger than me and was fascinated with clown makeup (i.e. she was crazy). I went on online dating because I figured I spend enough time online and am not the most outgoing/extroverted party-goer that I could maybe find someone with similar tendencies, but pretty much all the women on Tinder are that.

| 6 | People underestimate how freaking poor young people are today compared to the past and how much that affects their dating and sex livesFair enough, I've been trying to be more social and outgoing but Covid kinda knocked all those plans out. I do have like 2-3 female friends but they have boyfriends or are lesbian. I'm mostly apathetic about romantic relationships, but I'm curious about what one is like. I just can't seem to find one and am missing the necessary skills and looks to get one, I assume. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/07/20 08:19 AM |
