| 17 | Women did not develop compassion/empathy for men in general because it serves no evolutionary purposeI have found a lot of men have a view of history that paints women as users of men that don’t contribute beyond having babies. The facts are that with hunters and gatherers, gathering (tubers, berries, leaves) provided the staple diet and that was mostly done by women. And women also hunted. Look at many a third world country today and you’ll see women working the fields, going to get water from the river and contributing at least as much as the men to the wellbeing of their communities. But no,… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/07/26 12:04 AM |
| – | Women dislike weak and shy guys more than violent misogynists and I'll die on that hillI agree with this take. Charming, manipulative, audacious people often get dates, have friends and do well in business. They are good at getting what they want from people and many people fall for it. It’s not that they’re more attractive because of those traits, it’s that they’re more pushy, flattering and convincing - and of course more people fall for that than they do for a more quiet, shy, “weak” guy who doesn’t go for what he wants and stays in the background. Women don’t “dislike” that bu… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/07/26 10:29 AM |
| 4 | If you don’t care about personality, you’ll attract people who also don’t care about personality.A lot of women don’t put their looks above their personality - but many of the most thirst-trapping, social media-centric women do. These are the women many men are most physically attracted to and the ones that end up on those manosphere podcasts or street interviews spouting on about only wanting rich men, tall men, etc. Lots and lots and lots of women are going about their lives getting educated, working, having hobbies, socialising with friends and family and not putting a lot of time, money… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/06/26 11:30 PM |

| 14 | There will never be a solution to mens issues because 🔵BP society effectively sees intersexual dynamics as a zero sum game (where accommodating one side means taking away from the other)One major way to do this is to have more female experiences, stories and opinions in the mainstream culture. I don’t mean social media, I mean movies, tv, music, art, literature and history. Encouraging young males to pay attention to and value things that are from the female perspective. Girls grow up surrounded by “male nature” - so much mainstream culture is male-centric stories, history, music, film, gaming, etc - so much comes from the male point of view. We hear a lot about male experience… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/06/26 03:14 AM |
| – | What do women know about men that men don't know about themselves?I’m not sure men are more selfish. I do think, on average, they’re less considerate than women and that can seem like selfishness. Women could stand to be less considerate and men more so - I think a lot of relationships would benefit from that. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/06/26 12:31 AM |

Most bosses (mostly male) I’ve worked for have been overall pretty collaborative. I don’t have to call them sir and they will listen if I have a different idea or approach, but of course I know the final say is up to them - whereas the military seems less collaborative (I have no direct experience with it though).

I know a woman who got pregnant after having her tubes tied. Condoms can fail. IUDs and oral contraceptives can fail. Even vasectomies have a failure rate. So, it’s not really 100% in your control to not get pregnant unless you are abstaining from sex or are infertile. And unless you are infertile, you could be rape… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/05/26 11:18 PM |

| 9 | If women want to see certain changes in men, they should reward the men who embody that idealMen tend to die earlier than women, so more women than men “die alone” if the opposite of that is dying with a partner by their side. Men get that more often than not. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/02/26 03:03 AM |
| 7 | Claiming "Sex isn't the only thing men care about" only works when men show they have other priorities.Sex is not the glue. Intimacy is. Genuine love is. There are people who would die for each other and go through hell to be there for each other who have not had sex in many years. It doesn’t mean they are “just roommates” - it doesn’t mean they should break up. Sex is important, but it is not the glue - or at least it should not be the only type of glue holding your relationship together. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/12/25 03:58 AM |

Any more than pointing out that men are physically stronger than women is saying men are superior to women overall.

You’re making a false equivalence. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/07/25 05:47 AM |
| – | Misandry creates MORE misogynists.Men have a choice. What I observe in most men around the manosphere is a very genuine belief that men are superior to women. Certainly there is a strong belief that men are more logical and less swayed by emotions. If this is true, then “well, she did it first, I have to get back at her!” is no excuse for an increase in misogyny amongst men. Retaliation is inherently emotionally immature. Two wrongs don’t make a right, after all. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/07/25 01:36 AM |
| 14 | Therapy is harmful and doesn't actually help women. Men should not go to therapy.There are many reasons people switch therapists - among them is certainly because they don’t like something they said. But there’s also other reasons because we’re all individuals and therapists can have different approaches, specialties and “vibes”. In that post in particular this is my take: Being told to “just do it” when it’s something you are clearly struggling to do despite knowing you should and need to is unhelpful.

I have never “enjoyed” therapy - but sure, sometimes it feels good to have someone to talk to who is not part of your life otherwise. A good therapist encourages you to view yourself more objectively and that is seldom a bad thing. The hard work comes when you do realise some truths about yourself that you don’t like and want to change - and then go about changing them. If you go to therapy just to be flattered and validated, you are failing at thera… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/07/25 08:02 AM |

| 10 | Men simply want virgin women because of security and feeling of being special.I certainly think this is true for some men. Wanting a woman to feel pain while you break the hymen and see blood goes beyond just wanting to feel special and sure of paternity. There are men who absolutely fetishise the act of “taking virginity” and would feel cheated if she doesn’t cry and bleed - despite most women actually not bleeding the first time. There’s a power and degradation aspect to it for sure. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/07/25 07:20 AM |

| 1 | Why do you think women are less attracted to men than men are to women ?Well, there are also downsides inherent to being born a female that you could say make it the “wrong” sex. Like the fact that you are generally more vulnerable physically than males, can get pregnant and sex (and reproductive health overall) is more complex. Being seen as the “weaker” sex has its disadvantages socially too. I like men. I don’t go around consciously fearful of all men or assuming all men are creeps. Most men are good people.

| 1 | Why do you think women are less attracted to men than men are to women ?Yeah I can. Because it’s not an absolute.

But women are still sexually and romantically into men. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/06/25 07:04 AM |

Do some research outside the manosphere misogynist echo chambers and you might be surprised that women do more than you think and don’t just have all the cushy jobs.

| 15 | Women are dependent upon strange men for their safety, security, and comfortIt’s hilarious to me how blinkered some of you men are if you think women don’t play a part in all those things - especially in third world countries. Women labour hard to bring water to their families, grow and process food, make fabrics for clothing and shelter.

| 17 | Women are dependent upon strange men for their safety, security, and comfortSure. But women also play a role in maintaining society by raising and educating children, being nurses and caregivers for the sick and elderly and generally being cleaners, hospitality workers, shop assistants, etc. You can also argue that had women not had the burden of reproduction and the massive distraction and energy drain that is raising children and keeping the household throughout history, that women may well have done more inventing and creating of infrastructure and technology.

| 12 | Why do you think women are less attracted to men than men are to women ?You have explained the discrepancy. Sex for men is virtually without risk and almost guaranteed pleasure, validation and social points. You get to be inside a person who is not a physical threat to you, is showing you a high degree of trust and favour (because women are pickier her picking you likely means something positive), is capable of giving you a genetic heir with no cost to yourself and because you are penetrating and stimulated pretty perfectly to facilitate orgasm, you are almost guara… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/06/25 09:11 PM |

There most certainly is. And most clinicians can agree on many of them. Just because they aren’t always easily defined and they often have overlaps doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

This is because women are babied by society.If it’s a genuine mental illness - a psychosis - then it’s not an “excuse”.

There is no Machiavellian or malicious intent behind these actions - it is simply how many women have been conditioned to operate. And some women don’t actually like how men are also conditioned to be helpful (or sometimes to simply take over completely) at any sign of a woman struggling with something - sometimes we want to do things ourselves but men insist on doing them for us.

Are women predisposed to box men into masculine behavioural standards? I would say yes to a degree - but men also are predisposed to do the same to women.

It’s something I fell into for a time as a teenager - I didn’t want to believe I was truly fundamentally different from a male in many ways. But I am - hormones and genetics are powerful.

For women, up until relatively recently, sex has meant a high chance of ending up pregnant. That’s a very big deal - it’s a big burden, it’s a health risk and it’s a long term situation.

This kind of makes sense as sex can lead to pregnancy for women, which may be less desirable when she’s stressed.

Do you see how that is not the same thing - at all? If you were comparing it to going to a sex worker you’d be closer to the mark… Objectification is not simply wanting to have casual sex with women and finding the female body sexually desirable. It’s reducing women’s value to her looks and sexual utility alone. It’s disregarding her opinions, personality and desires and overwriting them with your o… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/04/24 03:37 AM |
| – | Can someone explain why women are seen as the romantic gender ?Maybe the dichotomy of men has something to do with women usually deeply desiring romantic gestures? Men can be very blunt/detached about sex and their sexual desires can be very objectifying - they can want several women at once and not want to spend time in their company unless it’s sexual. They can wholly focus on body parts and care little about the woman’s personality. But they can also be very emotional and loving about sex with the “right woman” and want it to be monogamous and bonded and… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/04/24 10:39 PM |

It often isn’t in response to any behaviour towards/about men - but rather encouraging a woman to do her own thing and not be too concerned with the opinions of others.

| 1 | The idea women are loved unconditionallyYes, I know the reasons. I think it just shows that this assertion that women have inherently more value than males to human beings is incorrect. It changes based on economic conditions and social conventions. If it was some kind of absolute, instinctive truth, then I don’t believe son preference could be so universal.

I have always tried to reign in my irritability when it hits, because I know it is being caused by hormones - but sometimes it just can’t be fully contained and I can be cranky (not shouting or throwing things or anything that extreme - just snappy and less agreeable than usual).

| 7 | Why is it normalized for women to be irritable and thus yell at their partners when before they menstruate or are pregnant?We celebrate dominant and assertive men everywhere - business, sports, media, etc etc. Men have many role models with assertiveness and positive “dominance”.

It would be better for the world if men stopped thirsting after, impregnating and financially supporting women who are not good people, let alone good mothers - based only on them being pretty, having a pussy and being pleasant (the latter is totally dropped if the first two co… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/12/23 11:54 PM |
| 2 | The more you understand women, the less you'll fall in love them.I said men have conditions, as a counter to the common assertion than men love women unconditionally and women just have to exist and they’ll be showered with love and caring by men. I agree that men tend to have fewer conditions than women though. Which makes sense to me because women have more vulnerabilities when it comes to sex and relationships with men. Still, men should be pickier than they are, if you ask me. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/12/23 11:04 PM |
| 8 | The more you understand women, the less you'll fall in love them.Perhaps under those conditions, sure. But pleasure aside, women have to worry about pregnancy and the contraceptives most women use commonly have side effects that are not to be sniffed at. Sex has risks for women that don’t exist for men is what I’m getting at. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/12/23 09:44 PM |
| 16 | The more you understand women, the less you'll fall in love them.What women want from men in a relationship isn’t one sided either. But often it’s framed as women demand things and have conditions for loving men but men love women unconditionally. This is false. Sex is not one-sided - but you’re being disingenuous if you think it is completely equal between men and women. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/12/23 07:05 PM |

| 20 | One sided open relationshipsI agree with you. “High value” women are not okay with the disrespect inherent in being cheated on/being in a one-sided open marriage. If a man wants to have multiple women at once, he better not expect any of them to be loyal, good, supportive partners in return. If you want to be a leader of your family (like a truly “high value” man supposedly should), you lead by example.

| 15 | Why do women hate the "what do you bring to the table?"Those are all traits that can be demonstrated as you get to know someone. It’s hard to show that up front, isn’t it? And a woman could have all those things, but be overweight and then it doesn’t matter anyway right? So men know what they want from a woman and then decide whether the women they want to date have the right traits, or enough of the right traits, to continue forward. It’s ultimately up to you to decide what you want. And it’s also up to women to decide what they want in men. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/12/23 12:07 AM |

| 12 | CMV: The widely accepted misandrist rhetoric when it comes to dating needs to stopOP said that pound for pound men are a brick wall compared to women. This is saying, to my mind, that no matter what men are bigger and stronger and are a potential threat whatever their size. Ergo, size isn’t a factor in this - men are simply a potential threat to women, big or small, and that isn’t sexist it’s just reality. Women can’t select against it because there are so few men who just physically aren’t capable of being a threat. Does that make sense? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/12/23 08:09 AM |
| 7 | CMV: The widely accepted misandrist rhetoric when it comes to dating needs to stopWhat has a man’s appearance of strength got to do with a woman worrying for her physical safety? If women were to only date men they could take in a fight the dating pool would be extremely limited. Men are nearly always larger and stronger than women - it is a trait of being male and heterosexual women are attracted to males. It follows that men exhibiting masculine size and strength are attractive to women (just as heterosexual men tend to be attracted to attributes that typify female bodies). | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/12/23 07:55 AM |

| 2 | There’s no reason not to get a paternity test unless there is some n fact doubtTrue.

Men tend to be less picky about a woman’s character to begin with - if she’s physically attractive, they will date her. If her personality is off-putting (as a pick me will turn out to be), they will date her just to have sex but not want a relationship.

By being against it they out themselves as selfish at best or cheaters and manipulators at worse.We clearly see this in very different ways. It is not simply the objective testing of your “presumed” child - it directly implies mistrust in your partners very character. This can’t just be removed because you think it’s plainly objective and should have no impact on feelings. We’re human beings, not computers or collections of cells. Routine screening for prostate cancer is not emotional and casts no moral shade on anyone. Only if a problem is shown, is it then emotional.

| 4 | One of the biggest red flags for guys to look for in women is if they are against paternity testing. By being against it they out themselves as selfish at best or cheaters and manipulators at worse.I will bite. Prostate cancer screening is looking for a cancer or abnormality that comes from mutating cells within your body. A paternity test is looking for a match between the DNA of a baby and a man who is presumed to be the father. The difference is that prostate cancer is an unthinking, internal bodily mutation that may occur without reason or warning and has a genetic component. It is also part of routine screening for men over a certain age - though the age varies depending on whether th… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/11/23 06:09 PM |

I also read a comment from an OBGYN that heavier women often need smaller speculums for exams because there is a “compression of tissues”. But this is all anecdotal. The fact is, your weight probably doesn’t have much to do with the “tightness” of your vagina - vaginas vary in size regardless of the size of someone’s body, same as penises.

| 1 | What's the deal with women and height preferences?I think the height filters on dating apps suck and actually should probably be banned. Many women can’t even tell anyway and just want this magical 6’0” because that’s the popular thing floating around. Well below average height guys (I would say under 5’7”) undoubtedly have a harder time - our society is shallow and height has long been a significant beauty and status standard in men.

| 1 | What's the deal with women and height preferences?Breast size cannot be changed except with extreme measures. Height can be changed with extreme measures too. Weight - sure, it can be changed - but not on a dime. How about age?

| 1 | Are men more romantic?Sure. I have thought about this a lot before as a big point of conflict between men and women in relationships. Women tend to be lower libido than men, but often in the beginning of the relationship, will be more sexually excited by the new man and more up for high sexual frequency. This is in part because of the newness and excitement, but also in part because women know sex is a major way to get into a man’s good books. As the relationship gets more secure and comfortable, she returns more to … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/10/23 06:17 PM |

Also, sex, once it’s been had can’t be withdrawn, whereas a man can withdraw his penpal-ness and have lost at most some hours of his time and a chance he thought he had at a deeper love, but in which he had not yet truly invested or consummated.

Saying women seem to be less strongly influenced/aroused/attracted by a man’s looks in comparison to men is not the same as denying women care at all.

| 11 | 18 to 24-year-old individuals who reported no sexual activity in the past year increased among men (but not among women)This is true. And it’s an unfortunate consequence of biological drives and social pressures that men are far more horny for the female body than the other way around. Men needing actual physical access to penetrate a woman’s body automatically means that he is restricted by the woman’s bodily autonomy. Women are burdened by reproductive and other tangible, physical risks when having sex with men in a way men are not with women. This all ties into the problem that if men need physical access to w… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/10/23 05:23 PM |

Your photos though seem to show a 22 year old that looks a bit older than typical (I would have pegged him at late 20s at least) - the 30 year old looks like he could be mid-late 20’s to early 30s to me. But it’s extremely subjective. Genetics/bone structure, overall health, facial ha… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/09/23 10:15 PM |
| – | We're going full circle, conservative sexual morality will become the norm again for heterosexualsI would actually agree with this. But I honestly think highly promiscuous men make for bad long term partners too. It depends so much on personality - people who are happy to sleep around a lot are not likely to be fulfilled with a more reserved life with just one person. I’m sure there are exceptions, but if you’re a “one on one” type yourself who takes a relationship very seriously, you should stay away from people who have made it a habit to be promiscuous. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/09/23 01:26 AM |

| 0 | Most women are invisible to straight men just like how most men are also invisible to womenI’ve certainly heard about women who aren’t conventionally attractive being catcalled.

Because of this, it makes no sense that we should be deeply troubled with our partner’s previous sexual experiences nor should it diminish our ability to form bonds.

| 1 | Where do above average but not hot men fall in terms of dating?I guess it depends on your definition of love. To me, love between spouses/partners is not just about sexual attraction where the diminishment or loss of that means the love is gone - it is about seeing a person as very special and important to you. You think about them very often, you want to make them happy and spend lots of time together - they are the first person you think of to tell good news to, or seek comfort in when something bad happens. If something bad happens to them you feel a gre… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/08/23 09:21 PM |

I knew a woman who told me she didn’t love her husband - I knew for sure he truly loved her and he put a lot of effort into caring for her. That’s really awful to me - to dedicate yourself to someone believing the love is reciprocal, all the while the other person is embittered that they couldn’t get someone “better” and see you as “the scraps they could get” Those people need to grow up and face the world alone rather… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/08/23 07:52 PM |
| 3 | Which gender double standards and hypocrisies do you think are justified… and which are genuinely a result of cultural sexism and need to change?Diving in football drives me insane - it’s so off-putting! I do think women’s sports appear to be getting higher quality than when I tried watching them like a decade ago. And some sports are definitely more “sensitive” to the difference in speed and strength than others so they are usually less exciting to watch. I don’t usually find women’s tennis as good to watch as men’s, but football doesn’t seem that vastly different and I’ve watched some women’s rugby and that can be just as brutal, lol! | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/08/23 07:35 PM |

I admittedly don’t watch a lot of sports and when I do, I tend to pay more attention to the men’s sports because they are often more what I’m used to watching growing up and are often the “big games” that just get more build up and attention. But I also wonder if I just have some bias and that I should give women’s sports a better go.

| 8 | Which gender double standards and hypocrisies do you think are justified… and which are genuinely a result of cultural sexism and need to change?I suppose one way to look at the sports/athletics thing is about effort rather than the end result? Women athletes are putting in as much work, time and training to hone their skills and bodies for competition, but they are simply biologically not as physically strong and fast as men so they will never compete on the same level in most sports. That doesn’t negate the level of effort and skill though - so the argument might be why should they be paid drastically less? I’m a bit on the fence about… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/08/23 06:18 PM |

Just as it’s true the average man now is not as traditionally masculine as he was in 1960 (fit, able to provide for his wife and kids, capable of fixing cars and building things). Times have changed. The average person now is fatter, less physically skilled in many respects (men not as “handy” women not as capable of handcrafts) and less duty bound to be a wife/husband and parent.

Women also don’t want to be around men who make no effort to engage with them and find ways to connect other than sexually.

Do you subscribe to the RedPill belief that men love women more purely than women love men? And that women use men more than men use women?

A lot of young guys look “too young” for women over 35 or so to seriously consider as sexual partners.

So many have thicker hairs in their butt crack, pubic area and onto the thighs and also on the backs of their thighs.

Studies have shown that more women than men are worse off financially after a divorce and women are less likely to remarry - if marriage was such a reliable and easy swindle for women and such a raw deal for men, why do more men remarry than women?

| 2 | Question for Women - Is it true that you find the majority of Men unnatractive?I just don’t understand why there has to be an “inferior/superior” measurement when it comes to libido? It is not a competitive measure between men and women. What makes it “inferior” for women to have a less urgent and preoccupying sex drive compared to men? It’s arguable whether it is advantageous to have a higher libido - therefore I can’t call it superior. It is definitely a stronger sex drive, so that is accurate - but doesn’t translate to superiority the same way having stronger muscles do… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/07/23 09:50 PM |
| 2 | Question for Women - Is it true that you find the majority of Men unnatractive?It’s not a competition though. Women get defensive because men will say things like “women’s libidos are inferior” and expand that to “women are the problem” and get upset with women for “being picky/difficult/demanding”. Being different does not necessarily mean inferior. Women’s sex drives are what they are for biological reasons - it wouldn’t make sense for women to be as indiscriminately horny as men. With the downsides of men’s high libidos, one could argue men’s are inferior…The truth is t… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/07/23 06:15 PM |
| 4 | Question for Women - Is it true that you find the majority of Men unnatractive?Those people are wrong - or simply outliers. It’s very obvious most women do not have the same urgency in their sex drive as men. Most women want sex frequently and enjoy (good) sex - but it’s clearly less common for women to be as relentlessly horny as regularly and reliably as most men. Heterosexual sex culture would look more like homosexual sex culture if women had the same libidos as men. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/07/23 05:54 PM |

Most women don’t look at men and think about whether they’d have sex with them - i.e. whether they are attractive. Men are just neutral people in the world unless they do something that changes that. It’s why most women don’t approach men - it’s not how women’s sexuality usually works. We’re not as driven to find sexual partners as men are.

| 5 | Asking your partner not to dress provocately in a serious relationship is not toxic.I did mention strappy heels in the second paragraph actually. As part of the fashion trends women feel peer pressure to conform to - as well as perhaps just feeling nice to be taller and have a nicer shape to your legs.

How women dress does not necessarily revolve around attracting men - doesn’t mean it has nothing to do with it though. Trends in women’s fashion are surely influenced by highlighting attractive areas of the body - but women follow those trends for reasons other than explicitly attracting men.

That’s the problem - the lying and going behind my back, not so much the physical act of sex with someone else. If he was so dissatisfied or so tempted he should talk to me, tell me he’s at his wits end and can’t resist the temptation to have sex with someone else - that would hurt, but it’s something I can try to help with or rectify if I’m pushing him away. And if we can’t rectify it, then we go our separate… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/06/23 04:10 AM |
| – | When women say that older men are repulsive, what do they mean?There is a lot that has gotten out of whack. Men like you - and women also - need to speak up when men are marginalised for their problems or women are pardoned unfairly for bad behaviour. Ultimately, you are right - everyone is an individual.

| 2 | Men and Women define casual sex differently, leading to total misunderstanding of each otherI, personally, think a “relationship” is a monogamous romantic connection between two people. Yes, some people have open relationships or poly ones - but they’re rare. Typically a relationship is seeing the same person frequently for an extended period of time and not seeing anyone else at the same time. But I’m old and old fashioned. Dating to me may mean something very different than it does to your average 21 year old. This all could just be semantics. Dating to me implies “courtship” with a … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/06/23 11:48 PM |
| – | When women say that older men are repulsive, what do they mean?That men want it more than women. That men are more horny and feel more lucky to have had sex than women. That society high fives men for their “sexual conquests” and will often see a young man having sex with an older woman as a positive thing, not a negative. The reverse is true for women. Women are often seen as morally better when they’re virginal, damaged by the amount of men they’ve had sex with and as sexually passive and therefore more often victims of men’s sexual aggression.

| 1 | Men and Women define casual sex differently, leading to total misunderstanding of each otherDating is a very well-known prelude to finding a relationship. Humans have been courting and dating since forever with a view to partnering off, not just sex. Hence, the default implication when dating, is not casual sex. If a guy approaches me in a store and asks me for coffee I don’t think he wants a hookup - I think he’s interested in getting to know me and perhaps a relationship developing.

| 0 | Even if Female Nature is true, there's no benefit being mad at it and we must accept it for what it isWell this is true - and it shows that women don’t just want to be dominated. That is one fantasy, but not the only one - and it will matter more to some women than to others. The idea that it’s “female nature” to want to be dominated “utterly and completely” by a man is a big exaggeration.

| 1 | Even if Female Nature is true, there's no benefit being mad at it and we must accept it for what it isNot really. At it’s core, it’s a plain rom-com where a handsome “prince” woos an impressionable young woman. The BDSM part is very light and is literally only in the bedroom - he is not dominating her at all times. And she actually ends up “taming” and changing him a lot and healing his trauma - to where he’s really more wrapped around her little finger than she is around his in the end. It’s hardly a story of a woman being totally dominated mind, body and soul by a man. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/06/23 08:24 PM |

I think perhaps male sex workers would probably get mostly very ugly or old or obese women as clients. Perhaps also women who have strong social anxiety.

| 1 | Why does it seem that blue collar and “average Joe” men have an easier time with female romantic partnership than money making STEM or forum guys?That’s not my intention. I wasn’t implying that STEM guys are more likely to be sexist - just that if they are, it seems they are more likely to go down the rabbit hole into more extreme sexist groups online and take it more seriously in their research (like “nerds” tend to do more than non-nerds about anything). | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/05/23 01:06 AM |
| 1 | Why does it seem that blue collar and “average Joe” men have an easier time with female romantic partnership than money making STEM or forum guys?Yes exactly. There is a major difference between just having a half-hearted (and sometimes sexist) moan about the opposite sex - and actually spending hours deeply thinking, researching and seeking out echo chambers to support your ideas that the opposite sex all have the same deeper nature that you dislike and distrust. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/05/23 11:34 PM |
| 2 | Why does it seem that blue collar and “average Joe” men have an easier time with female romantic partnership than money making STEM or forum guys?Yep. It’s the almost scientific/academic approach (that then becomes cult-like) that makes TRP and the like so skeevy to women. Guys shooting the shit, even if it’s kind of sexist, just seems light-hearted by comparison. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/05/23 05:10 AM |
| 3 | Why does it seem that blue collar and “average Joe” men have an easier time with female romantic partnership than money making STEM or forum guys?There’s always qualifiers where people with certain desirable attributes get away with things those without would not…Men are the same with women they find hot - they will tolerate shit from them that they wouldn’t from a less attractive woman. No one said it was fair. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/05/23 11:30 PM |
| 7 | Why does it seem that blue collar and “average Joe” men have an easier time with female romantic partnership than money making STEM or forum guys?I think it depends how that sexism manifests. In general, women don’t like men who seem to be philosophising and also plotting their sexism. Guys online will typically form groups where they complain to each other about how all women are the same, they form theories and strategies on how to manipulate women and they make up memes that are designed to hurt and humiliate women. Blue collar guys tend to express their sexism differently. They might have sexist notions on traditional gender roles and… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/05/23 07:50 PM |
| 7 | Question 4 Women with Pets, is a man not being an animal lover a dealbreaker?Yes, it’s a dealbreaker. Pets have always been an important part of my life. I work with animals also. There’s no man on earth that could convince me he is high value if he doesn’t like pets. You can’t “easily replace” a beloved pet. They’re individual beings, not devices. I disagree that “dark triad” men are irresistible to all women. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/05/23 05:16 AM |
| 1 | Men being required to ask women out overvalues womenSounds like he’s masculine looking, takes good photos and lives in a non-US country where perhaps women are more likely to take some initiative. Probably Australia or New Zealand if he was big into rugby. Women like rugby players in this part of the world! | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/05/23 11:36 PM |
| 7 | CMV : “Looks don’t matter” is not a common theme in culture. It’s the opposite.Yeah. A lot of the “guy gets his dream girl” movies I saw growing up had very average or below average guys getting hot girls to fall for them by way of their altruistic and/or heroic deeds. The “girl gets her dream guy” movies generally seemed to entail a so-called “average” girl getting a makeover and becoming the hottest girl around and then the guy fell for her. The message to girls was almost invariably: “girls have to be hot to be loved” - while for guys it was more like “guys have to prov… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/05/23 11:28 PM |
| 24 | Most women aren't on dating apps. So how are they getting relationships or having sex?Nothing creepy about a guy initiating a conversation about some mutual activity you’re involved in. If I was walking alone in the park and some guy just came up to me, it might be creepy. If we are both walking our dogs, it’s not weird to stop and say hi to each other while the dogs do the same… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/05/23 07:48 PM |
| 4 | AI girlfriends will allow men to fully be themselves and thus will radically change their standards for womenMost average looking women do not get 100+ men simping and offering companionship over one image with a bit of their butt or cleavage showing, do they? I’m older, maybe I’m just that out of touch… There’s no denying your average woman can easily find a man to sleep with if she makes it obvious she’s up for it - but I’d argue this does not make her feel less lonely or give her companionship. More opportunities perhaps - but more risks along with that also. Perhaps women are just ungrateful, but I… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/05/23 08:31 AM |
| 8 | AI girlfriends will allow men to fully be themselves and thus will radically change their standards for womenOh how cleverly condescending! If you read what I said, I totally agree that women have more options. But they don’t equate to women having “100+ men on call” to make them less lonely, as Spyro’s comment suggests. So I don’t see that I’m moving any goalposts. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/05/23 02:54 AM |
| 9 | AI girlfriends will allow men to fully be themselves and thus will radically change their standards for womenSex does not equal companionship and affection. Women certainly have an easier time accessing sex, which gives more opportunities to find affection and companionship, but also comes with risks that men don’t deal with. I’m not sure your average woman can just get 100 guys interested with a modicum of effort - but she can certainly get more than your average man can get women. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/05/23 01:43 AM |
| 6 | AI girlfriends will allow men to fully be themselves and thus will radically change their standards for womenWhy do so many men here think that most women are that in demand? You are clearly not looking at the life of a totally average woman if you think most women have 100+ men on call to give them affection and companionship. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/05/23 12:32 AM |
| 8 | CMV The main reason why Dating today is f*cked for Men is not because of feminism/equality. 90% of the damage comes from Online Dating.Spot on. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/05/23 06:06 PM |
| 4 | CMV Eastern Europe Women care way less about looks then women in the west.Go to the Ladyboners sub to get an inkling of what attractive men look like. It varies quite a lot from woman to woman - but almost all women like a “masculine shape”, healthy body weight (with some caring more about muscles or height than others) - and with a handsome face. Not too different from what a baseline attractive woman ideally has for men - “feminine shape”, healthy body weight (with men having different preferences for the size and shape of certain body parts) and a pretty face. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/05/23 01:52 AM |

| 8 | Women Cannot Detect a Red Pilled Man If He Knows What He's DoingI don’t believe you can boil all men’s desires down to your list or that there is an equivalent for all women’s desires. It seems to me that human sexual attraction isn’t that simplistic and framing it that way does more harm than good. I don’t think it’s fair or accurate to say “women” lie to save face and “men” are open and prioritise things the same as you. But, if it works for you, go ahead. I really wish you didn’t need to be dishonest and manipulative about it though. And yes - of course m… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/05/23 12:28 AM |
| 10 | Women Cannot Detect a Red Pilled Man If He Knows What He's DoingSo women having the sexuality they have is “refusing to give men the playbook”? It seems clear to me that women (on average) are simply not as horny and are more multi-faceted in what attracts them and it therefore seems like it’s being withheld or deliberately obfuscated. I think many women don’t know what they want in the opposite sex as clearly as men do (because men have an excellent benefit to risk ratio when it comes to sex with women - the opposite is true for women). | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/05/23 11:24 PM |
| 17 | Women Cannot Detect a Red Pilled Man If He Knows What He's DoingThat is shameful behaviour if you manipulate your way around a woman’s vetting because you want something from her that you know she won’t give if she sees the real you. And the arrogance of believing you have “their playbook figured out” - I hope you meet a woman who surprises you, and not in a good way. Do you think most women have men’s playbook figured out? There’s a lot of manipulative women also that use up men and spit them out…And it’s wonderful when they meet a man that calls them out o… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/05/23 10:17 PM |
| 1 | Do you care about morals when choosing a partner?Personally, yes, morals matter a lot. I go completely cold when I see someone be rude to others, be a bully or be unkind to animals. In a potential romantic partner, it’s a sure fire way to completely turn me off, no matter how attractive I think they are in other ways - it’s just so disappointing and makes me look down on them. Nothing sexy about that. Respect is a big part of attraction to me - and I don’t respect bullies, narcissists or grifters. But, I see women who don’t care about it - esp… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/05/23 12:27 AM |
| 8 | What is your unpopular opinion regarding your own gender that could make others call you a gender traitor?I agree with this one. Online dating is damaging to almost everyone and the part of feminism that encourages women to be sexually permissive for “empowerment” has done more harm than good for most women. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/05/23 10:31 PM |
| 6 | Most online discussion revolved around 'average' people. What should those with disabilities that are not average do? They are often dismissed as an afterthought. In the year 2020 approximately 1 in 36 children were born autistic.Spot on. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/05/23 08:51 AM |
