Because it is overwhelmingly something uniquely given to women, I’d argue men would like it just as much but they just don’t receive it because women are far less willing and open to do so for the overwhelming majority of men.

It can be both detrimental to her critical thinking skills and a privilege at the same time. If you had a private chef for you your whole life then suddenly didn’t and had to cook your own food, leaving you without the knowledge and ability to make what you want doesn’t mean having a private chef wasn’t a privilege. Adult and older women still get help and certainly still have more access to in the end anyway.
/r/PurplePillDebate19/08/26 01:31 AM

I would argue a lot of that disparity in after break up depression is actually due to men having a much harder time ahead of them to get another relationship while women will have plenty of options at the drop of a hat, yes even if she thinks she’s above them, compare that to men where that could easily be his last and it’s not hard to see why this is the case.
/r/PurplePillDebate19/08/26 01:27 AM

Over being enslaved as that’s what the situation would have to be in order to get enough monetary incentive out of them for women, not to mention never being able to partner. It would entirely justify violence but I don’t think it would even need to get that far unless the hypothetical just eliminated men’s vote entirely. This argument doesn’t hold because if we are talking about extracting that level of wealth and removing partnering to that degree there would be no army because it would be all…
/r/PurplePillDebate18/08/26 05:35 PM

And what supports that that would be enough to compel women to want to have children without partnering? the drive to have children in the first place comes out of partnering, maybe the poorest would go for it the same way they do now, not only that but how do you get a monetary incentive that high without the portion of the population your taking it from, who are now more disenfranchised than ever, getting rid of it quickly?
/r/PurplePillDebate18/08/26 05:14 PM

Right so your argument then is that alternatives to partnering will result in more births and be able to make up for it? An outlandish claim at best. What evidence do you have of women in majority wanting to have children in any capacity without partnering?
/r/PurplePillDebate18/08/26 05:03 PM

Because partnering results in more fertility than any alternative could, providing more alternatives could only continue to worsen the problem. Partnering itself declining is the cause for decreasing birthrates.
/r/PurplePillDebate18/08/26 04:50 PM

Not only are men more stigmatized for it but women are more likely to want to be part of such a group in order to virtue signal/receive social bonus points.
/r/PurplePillDebate18/08/26 04:40 PM

I’m not sure how this gets more women to partner and have children (the cause of the fertility crisis), in fact this might make it worse.

In general people shouldn’t be too encouraged to be too independent, humans are inherently dependent on partnering in general and too much of a push to make people too independent is a bad thing.

Sure, but this is the same as anything else, women are always given more leeway/forgiveness than men in all aspects of behavior and society.

The problem it that women inherently have much higher standards for possible attraction to men, so what I’m saying is imagine the situation where they aren’t also handed the relationship, those already higher standards just increase resulting in little to no change.
/r/PurplePillDebate17/08/26 05:21 PM

While what you are saying does make sense to a degree, the problem is that women are already only open to the exceptional imagine how much higher their standards would be if the men didn’t do everything for them to initiate.

Not that it’s necessarily virtuous but most men would date most women, you list traits that men generally don’t like and that’s true but in dating men are so disadvantaged that they will absolutely still take that.
/r/PurplePillDebate17/08/26 03:50 PM

I get that, but these descriptions quite literally mean to describe someone more or less so than average.
/r/PurplePillDebate16/08/26 10:26 PM

I’m not sure that’s the correct use of those descriptors, for instance when describing an average person calling them tall would be incorrect including if the person describing them was shorter, they could say that they are “taller than themselves” but not “tall” same goes for any other descriptors.
/r/PurplePillDebate16/08/26 10:15 PM

Then the difference is that what you’re describing isn’t someone who is “funny” or “articulate” when using those things to describe someone what they mean is that they are more so than average because if they are averagely funny or articulate they aren’t “funny” or “articulate” they are average.
/r/PurplePillDebate16/08/26 09:40 PM

Well maybe you and your colleagues are above average, that’s entirely possible, if true this would actually be an example of insecurity because it would be those who feel themselves average when they are actually above.
/r/PurplePillDebate16/08/26 09:31 PM

Just as long as we are clear as to that actually being insecurity.
/r/PurplePillDebate16/08/26 05:55 PM

The point is that security is someone who is below, at or above average to feel as such.
/r/PurplePillDebate16/08/26 06:23 AM

I don’t want to play undesirable Olympics and it’s particularly pointless to talk about any specific individual.
/r/PurplePillDebate16/08/26 05:42 AM

I’m not here to play who is less desirable, but all I’ll say is that it isn’t possible for woman as a group to feel attraction towards me, imagine that however you like. What your saying is to actively be insecure, insecurity is not realizing what you have meaning if someone is average to be secure he’d have to feel as such, hence the change that you talk about in your post.
/r/PurplePillDebate16/08/26 05:34 AM

Here’s the thing if a person is average feeling like they are or should have experiences outside of average would be insecure, that doesn’t mean you can’t try to make yourself better but until an average person became better feeling anything outside of average would be insecure. Im exceptionally undesirable and it isn’t possible for women to feel a form of attraction but that’s beside the point, I’m not using someone exceptionally undesirable as reference. I’m not necessarily arguing it won’t ev…
/r/PurplePillDebate16/08/26 05:13 AM

Here’s the thing if they are especially “funny and articulate” than they aren’t actually average, we live in a time where men are excluded by women outside of their control more than ever before and eventually that is going to readjust what is considered realistic and therefore if your secure that your average you wouldn’t realistically expect to have a relationship.
/r/PurplePillDebate16/08/26 05:02 AM

It’s actually the opposite it’s secure, we’ve never had this amount of men excluded by women and being it’s so widespread men are being secure in that exclusion.

I agree for the most part, but it’s not an easy thing to do, relegating yourself to go without the most inherent and integral drive that a person can have, it’s going to be tough but it will be better that fruitlessly trying your whole life for the same result.
/r/PurplePillDebate14/08/26 03:39 AM

The problem is that it relies on people saying they feel lonely and in reality someone can feel lonely but not actually be lonely , so you would have to exclusively use studies that find if people are actually lonely and alone.

If this is supposed to be a equivalent to the question asked a few days ago asking men if they’d date a woman if they could never have sex, then the most equivalent question would be “would you date a man you could never be emotionally connected to”.

Of course, any guy who is excluded by women would be ecstatic to be able to choose this. Men don’t solely have the desire to have sex with women we have the desire to pair up with them as well and not even with one in particular.

What do you mean? Are you referring to the part where I refer to a man “impossibly increased in desirability in all areas”.
/r/PurplePillDebate10/08/26 06:44 AM
1

The standards held for men are all encompassing, and unless men impossibly increased in desirability in all areas domestic changes would make no difference, as it could only help already very desirable men more desirable which is pointless. Women’s attraction to men if exercised freely without outside influence or pressure exists specifically to select exceptions, men specifically more desirable than most, and is directly opposed to men’s.

Since the vast majority of women are only open if men did pay first it’s unfortunately more likely this would just result in no woman ever passing that filter, not to mention the fact that a woman that would pass being more desirable resulting in that woman never being open to any man but the best.
/r/PurplePillDebate09/08/26 05:22 AM

The vast majority of men don’t expect very much at all and the next biggest portion don’t expect anything at all. Now a very small portion of the most desirable men might have more similar expectations but unless the majority of women were only trying to interact with them and basing their ideas on them that wouldn’t be an issue…
/r/PurplePillDebate09/08/26 05:14 AM

The biggest reason men have been turned off from dating, both irl and online, is that they have already been excluded, in a way it’s the other way around for men it’s trust in the fact that women have already excluded them and proximity to women has decreased because women have removed themselves.
/r/PurplePillDebate09/08/26 05:08 AM

Your understanding of the problem it wrong, what happened is that women got what they wanted and men had no problem with it and were no less attracted while on the other hand women remain limited in the way they can be attracted causing anything they gained to collectively rise their standards and obviously reduce the pool of men that are acceptable to them. Of course there can be some niche exceptions but in the end the bottleneck of relationships will always be women’s ability to feel attracti…

The only problem is that so many women require it inherently that you can just as easily make the argument that a man reducing his chances to such a degree is also “dumb”.

Men who are more desirable than others, specifically women’s attraction itself being predicated on men being more desirable than others, in what partially can vary slightly between women. I think this is especially a major difference considering men don’t require such a thing and in most cases don’t even require particular attention to partner seriously.
/r/PurplePillDebate09/08/26 04:48 AM

A few things out of the way, if a woman were as you describe the average guy would be attracted any guy outside of this would be confirmation of an above average one, and as long as we are talking about approaching trying to get someone else to take initiative wouldn’t be approaching just to be clear. So as long as the situation is as outlined then the guy can already be attracted and the best approach would just be any way that is straightforward: directly asking for more contact (number, date …
/r/PurplePillDebate06/08/26 03:16 AM

It’s all just desirability, guy friend who is much more desirable wanting something more = what women want, equivalent or less desirability guy doing so = dread.

While logistically true, how would women then receive the pursuit and relationship carrying that they require?

I’m sure very desirable man would but not for average men, in fact it’s an easy way to tell if a woman is always trying with more desirable men is she’s always facing any significant standards.

Desirability as in overall ability to garner attraction both physically and emotionally. As far as a minority it depends on what minority, some do better some do worse.
/r/PurplePillDebate04/08/26 03:44 PM

I would argue this extends to relationships and marriage as well, most men are not given the options to be with any woman they like in particular, and by extension most women are not partnered long term because their husbands/boyfriend liked her but because she was one of if not the only one willing.
/r/PurplePillDebate04/08/26 09:45 AM

This depends almost entirely on desirability, if a guy is desirable it’s like playing a fair game one where you have a chance and will have some wins but if you aren’t it’s like being forced to play game where you are guaranteed to loose and you have no other choice.

The reason they should treat it as an achievement is because women treat it as something to be achieved.
/r/PurplePillDebate03/08/26 07:49 AM

The reason for the birth rate decline is the relationship decline, economics playing far less of a role and being used as a scapegoat for women. Asking anyone to be a single parent is a far cry from a possible solution.

Except that there are certainly those that can feel attraction to the physical without any to the emotional and vice versa, now if your someone who can’t that’s one thing but that doesn’t mean others aren’t capable of it.

Buy what are you feeling is the entire point, is someone feeling attraction to the physical or the emotional is the entire point. This has less to do with how feeling attracted affects the body but what brings on those feelings of attraction in the first place.
/r/PurplePillDebate30/07/26 07:06 PM
1

Based on coercion requiring a significant repercussion. HR could define as harassment, not that HR could ever be a good example, just because you may not want to talk to the person and harassment having a much lower standard, but not wanting to be asked anything or the pressure of saying no still remains far too insignificant to be coercion.

How do you feel tired? Emotionally tired or physically tired? You feel sleepy? Are you lazy or is your body tired? If not defining attraction then of course it’s a combination but when specifically breaking it down by saying physical or emotional attraction you are defining them as mutually exclusive.
/r/PurplePillDebate30/07/26 06:49 PM

Not significant enough for coercion.
/r/PurplePillDebate30/07/26 06:43 PM

Not to the level required for coercion, it has to be significant not just being asked any number of times.
/r/PurplePillDebate30/07/26 08:23 AM

/r/PurplePillDebate29/07/26 06:12 PM

What this experiment has essentially shown us is that if women are alleviated from any external incentive to partner then they loose all capacity for attraction towards men who aren’t providing them something exceptional.
/r/PurplePillDebate29/07/26 10:08 AM

It’s quite simply because of physical attraction, by definition physical attraction in order to be physical must exist in the absence emotional attraction.

Probably won’t ever have any data to prove this unfortunately since the sample size for women will always be so infinitesimally smaller.
/r/PurplePillDebate28/07/26 07:55 PM

Closer to the latter but only because of similarities not because of proficiency, admiration to a kill or proficiency doesn’t lead to attraction and would probably sooner prevent it for me.

The specific average man is above the average man by virtue of statistics, for instance the average man would also be trying to date up is he was only interested in a very specific type of average woman, meaning if someone has a very specific type then even if that person is relatively average you’ve made them more desirable than you in comparison are by virtue of narrowing down those in your range rarity is inherent to desirability, Essentially he may be average but he’s only specific few withi…

/r/PurplePillDebate25/07/26 11:50 PM

“Female sexual attraction is not the same as male sexual attraction. We (women) do not want to and cannot be attracted to men generally, we have to find that one guy we have the hots for!” So in other words they are not actually attracted to their equivalent they are looking for someone hyper specific even when they themselves are common.
/r/PurplePillDebate25/07/26 11:23 PM

There are definitely women out there who instead partner with men who are in other ways exceptional traits like charisma etc. but still no less above herself. And as for looks, it’s most apparent how women either don’t see themselves as average or see men as less when the average woman so often claims she rarely sees men that she feels attracted to.
/r/PurplePillDebate25/07/26 11:11 PM
2

Not according to how women rate men, for instance a woman in the 40th percentile of looks for woman is equivalent to a man in the 40th percentile of looks for men. And this is just considering looks a man can still be more desirable while being less attractive physically since women don’t put as much priority (not to be confused with standards) on looks.
/r/PurplePillDebate25/07/26 10:52 PM
2

So what your saying is because you could be attracted to what you perceive as your looks match that women are collectively that way? This aside from the fact that what you perceive as your match might not be the case.
/r/PurplePillDebate25/07/26 10:40 PM

But that’s the point, men categorizing women this way is the direct result of reducing men to such a small portion. I’m not talking about looks match but overall desirability. That small portion doesn’t need to look the same to be a small portion.

It depends, if we are talking about who they can feel attraction to at all then no, but if we are talking about frivolous standards not innately held then it’s possible. The problem is that a person who has high standards always believes they deserve them no matter what they say, otherwise it wouldn’t be a problem.
/r/PurplePillDebate25/07/26 10:01 PM

This is a direct result of women reducing the men they are willing to be involved with in any way down to such a small portion.
/r/PurplePillDebate25/07/26 09:56 PM

The same is true with all things women do/are vs men do/are, women and what they do are favored, given passes and prioritized universally.
/r/PurplePillDebate25/07/26 09:54 PM

No everyone wouldn’t get “the same chance” just more people would get a chance, I never mentioned anything about everyone getting the same chance. I’m not even saying they need to be forced to partner, simply having a more accurate representation of what their equivalent is would be beneficial as a whole.

Considering the openness of the relationship, he has no reason to assume that he is the only one she’s “meeting family with or cooking with etc” and therefore no reason to think she would want more than she was getting in the relationship.

Was the female teacher capable of being as assertive or threatening as the male coach? I suspect not. As for celebrities, while I think it’s stupid either way, the fans of a sports superstar are fans because the person is at the pinnacle of human physical ability and that’s where the idolization comes from, so it would make sense not to understand idolization of things outside of that.

Did he know that she thought it was serious? The fact that the relationship was open is already enough for anyone who expects it to be serious to have the onus of having to ask to find that out. The framing here is wrong, he spent a year getting what he wanted out of the relationship,the same things she got, and if she didn’t get what she wanted then she had a whole year to seek it but didn’t.

While “too high” may be subjective, I would classify it as have standards for desirability above your percentile, for instance if a man in the 40th percentile of desirability for men held standards for only the 30th percentile and up than they’d be unrealistic and too high.
/r/PurplePillDebate21/07/26 06:08 PM
2

The standard you hold is anchored on what is actually out there not your ideal, in other words if your attraction is to few of the opposite gender than your standard is high and if it’s to many of the opposite gender than it’s low and a moderate amount for moderate standards.
/r/PurplePillDebate21/07/26 05:53 PM

This is the cast for women as well, the only difference being that they are held to such low standards that it doesn’t make a difference for them.
/r/PurplePillDebate21/07/26 05:49 PM

The value is set by the other party, women’s value is determined by men and men’s value is determined by women, so if women start to value men less as they obviously have been than men’s value decreases.

It’s defined that way by being called physical, the wording means that physical and emotional attraction are inherently mutually exclusive.
/r/PurplePillDebate19/07/26 04:42 AM

The only problem with that is that I’m describing what it has to be in order to be called physical attraction otherwise it can’t be so. Maybe there are just those entirely incapable of physical attraction and instead only feel a sort of physically associated emotional attraction.
/r/PurplePillDebate19/07/26 04:19 AM

Put off emotionally doesn’t mean physically, a physical attraction can’t increase only me modified by the physical and emotional vice versa, it can’t increase only obviously diminish overall attraction but not when limiting to physical. Why is it helpful? I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily “helpful” but neither does it need to be, it just outlines how someone may be attracted.
/r/PurplePillDebate19/07/26 03:32 AM

I think they are fairly easy to separate, for instance just imagine how attracted you’d be to someone if you hated their personality and whatever is leftover is the physical attraction, if it’s nothing than there is no physical attraction.
/r/PurplePillDebate19/07/26 03:02 AM

I’m not disputing that most of the time attraction to someone is mixed. But when in the context of keeping it to physical or emotional each one needs to be separated from one and other, maybe not everyone is capable of doing that, but to use your example if being asked for evaluation of physical attraction you’d then disregard those feeling like “does she look carefree, or adventurous, or remind him of someone else.” Just the same as if asked about the evaluation of emotional attraction that you…
/r/PurplePillDebate19/07/26 01:56 AM

Yes that’s what physical attraction defines, it can’t be physical attraction if it’s modified by emotional attraction, that’s just emotional attraction neither one can be modified by the other and still be so. If we were just talking about attraction without specifying emotional or physical then they can mix.
/r/PurplePillDebate19/07/26 12:50 AM

The bar is for being physically attracted though not emotionally. I’m not disputing that women are often emotionally attracted but that the bar for physical attraction high or even impossible in the case of never being able to reach it without emotional. Physical attraction can’t increase or decrease unless the physical changes, all else is another type of attraction, usually emotional.
/r/PurplePillDebate19/07/26 12:00 AM

Right meaning in that situation you aren’t physically attracted definitionally, in other words the threshold (standard) you have for physical attraction is very high, including impossible. The rest is explaining emotional attraction which is not definitionally part of physical attraction.

What does this help though? A mythical angelic girl who is capable of attraction in such a way simply doesn’t exist, so at this point we are just saying: “if men weren’t excluded they’d do better in dating.” So… yeah technically that’s true…

That’s because it isn’t a result of “women experiencing attraction and treating men differently” it’s women experiencing attraction to a small group and largely incapable otherwise, as opposed to men where collectively no woman is excluded.

Something everyone often misses here is how significant changes in the dating environment changed how people and especially women date from that generation on, and how influential it was for that to be the case from the very beginning for them. In other words yes those women could also technically still be in the current dating environment but it isn’t the only environment they’ve ever been in nor is it as influential on them.
/r/PurplePillDebate17/07/26 11:02 PM

Then the reason should be clear, since women are doing the majority of the rejecting and rejecting is more negatively looked upon, and women’s attraction is then seen as such.
/r/PurplePillDebate17/07/26 07:21 PM

? What I’m saying here is that the amount of replies saying “never” or very few, shows how women’s standards for looks is higher than men’s.

What I’m getting at is that if you are asking men about it they’d overwhelmingly be happy to have women attracted to them either way, if you talking about rejecting being seen as negative that’s a different matter.

No but statistic comparability is, if a woman is in the 40th percentile and her standards don’t include a man in the 40th percentile than by definition her standards are high, and specifically regardless of what any complainants may be, because a standard is anchored to what exists not what your ideal is.

Predictable how the immediate responses are unable to recognize a level of cleanliness only acknowledging spotless or hell hole, and “but there was an exceptionally desirable guy I dated once who was dirty but could continue to get away with it because of that exceptionality.” A higher standard for what you consider clean equates to statistically more cleaning (housework/domestic labor), and doesn’t require a huge disparity like spotless/hell hole.

Admit to what? Not looking for a particular type? Here’s the thing women only entertain the men desirable enough to look for a particular type, so when they think that’s the case with any significant amount that tells you the only men they are open to.

Because all women inherently have plenty of options, including the least desirable bottom of the barrel women, so a woman not in a relationship is choosing not to and is looked upon as strong by society.

The thing that changes is they acquire a non zero chance. “In my not-so-humble opinion, unwanted men should embrace radical acceptance and opt out of dating entirely.” While it’s true many won’t ever have a chance, it’s also true that it’s not easy to just consign yourself to the worst single existence a person can have.

This is advice given my men who’s Exceptional desirability is more weighted towards charisma than looks, but no less inherently desirable, and the women who are more attracted to them.

/r/PurplePillDebate07/07/26 09:35 PM

I think it’s born from desperation, you touch on it yourself “why not be with adults or don’t date at all??” It’s very difficult to not be able to date at all, specially when it’s so integral to you, so the harder it gets the more desperate men will get resulting in the ones who are morally compromised being driven to something they may not otherwise do.

Of course that’s the ultimate goal but like I said you can spend year(s) for a chance irl where you’ll likely be rejected or be rejected (filtered out) thousands of times in a short period, it’s simply numbers, a tiny fraction of women are capable of being open to you so the only way to have a chance is to expose yourself to as many as you can, and if you aren’t too undesirable you might get a chance.

1 or 2% is objectively zero in an environment like a dating app where there is a higher percentage of bots and accidental likes than 2%, meaning that only when the number of likes passes the number of likely bots/ accidental likes can it count as even an option.

The problem with this is I’d argue you cannot be objectifying someone if you are doing so for their looks, because looks are just as much a part of you as a person as any other trait, So in comparison being used for money is actually objectifying whereas used for something that’s actually a part of you could never be.

How was it vague? Essentially if a woman were low in desirability it isn’t something deserved in the first place to fulfillment in that way shouldn’t be sought out in the first place and if a woman was desirable than she needn’t worry because aside from extreme examples she won’t end up any other way. Of course there might be some small exceptions like with anything but they need not be accounted for.

This same thing is true for women on the same level, the only difference is that men don’t hold them to any such standard that’s above them.

Depends on her level of desirability if it’s low she doesn’t deserve that in the first place and if it’s high, well she wouldn’t be in the situation to begin with.

This says nothing to the fact that this guy in the example was likely still entirely more desirable on a percentile basis than the women he had as matches. The reality is that only men can be considered undesirable and be excluded while there has never been a woman excluded by men collectively.

Right that’s the point, why are we asking how can men be attracted if we are eliminating ways they are attracted. It’s like saying I want you to buy me a car but I don’t want it to have wheels.

“Forget the “emotional bond” with “wife goggles”, we are talking about purely male attraction here.” So we are talking about male attraction but excluding that part of it?

I wouldn’t say they “spend their lives obsessing over women they can’t have” they certainly can’t marry women they are exceptionally attracted to anymore, the vast majority think their gf/wives are average and are averagely attracted.

Or just that what I’m explaining is just the truth. The reason, as I explained, is that average men would be instantly rejected while average women wouldn’t be, at least the anywhere near the same rate.

The researchers is because if they had average men the videos would be 30 seconds long as women pop their balloons instantly, but the same wouldn’t happen to women so they need not be held to any standard.

Women also focus attention to the top the only difference being that it’s nearly exclusively so unlike men where the average man will still overwhelmingly include the average woman for relationships.

Look how many women say they are only open to taller than average men. Ultimately men rate women on a bell curve meaning which is the only possibility correct distribution of attraction.

So you’re saying if this is the case that women are “emotionally unstable, prone to mental illness, and unable to be accountable or logical.” Then the only way to remain logically consistent is to just let humanity die out?

No, you are omitting details here, if both were average like I had outlined than men will be attracted. Obviously in situations with overwhelming gaps in desirability it can be different. A contradiction here would require me to have included above average men being attracted to women below them.

This argument acts as if qualifying for even developing an emotional connection to any individual woman isn’t just as rare, most men are not going to be considered good enough for the vast majority of women for that.

How so? Exceptionally desirable men are not desperate, and unless they are burning through significant numbers of the population, they still have an abundance of. He need not act desirably to any 7 women, an exceptionally desirable guy has thousands more.
/r/PurplePillDebate20/06/26 07:56 PM

An example of someone with exceptional social skill? Introvert vs extrovert certainly plays a role but an example would be someone who is an outlier at social interaction, someone who people are socially drawn to as opposed to neutral or repulsed by.
/r/PurplePillDebate20/06/26 07:51 PM

You still don’t seem to understand, he need not have those women interested, he will always have the options he wants. Exceptionally desirable men need not play a numbers game. They can pick and take who they want. Remember that a woman at the same level of desirability would do the same, just not have to go through 2 million first making her less picky.
/r/PurplePillDebate20/06/26 07:34 PM

You just saw one already desirable guy, who need not have any of them interested, be in a video specifically to act that way. If men were that desperate a guy who could have nearly any other woman should also be desperate? Them men who struggle are not the men who act like that out of an exceptional abundance of options, they are the ones who have always been excluded before acting any way at all. Using an example of a guy who could have nearly any woman and acting like it here is again not very…
/r/PurplePillDebate20/06/26 07:20 PM

How would he be seen as stupid? It doesn’t matter what he does as he’s already desirable. It is not very smart to use a YouTube video of a guy, especially this one, to try and make a point about any significant portion.
/r/PurplePillDebate20/06/26 06:59 PM

It meant above what could be considered average, an outlier in a “positive” direction.
/r/PurplePillDebate20/06/26 06:53 PM

They are “extremely” undesirable because of how they are inherently if they could change themselves meaningfully to be included they would. Ultimately they are at the same level as women are the only difference is that men are accepting of less and women are requiring of more.
/r/PurplePillDebate20/06/26 06:50 PM

I would still stand by not needing any at all, unless the woman were otherwise extremely undesirable again making it not the norm. Exceptional means anything that is an exception.
/r/PurplePillDebate20/06/26 05:59 PM

Did you not read the op? I see that it’s deleted now but that’s what it was talking about.
/r/PurplePillDebate20/06/26 05:56 PM

It’s the norm for men not to require any exceptional level of social skills to be attracted, of course if a guy was exceptional himself it’s possible he might but that would then not be the norm obviously.

The thing is that just because more are meeting on apps or that it’s possible to be in proximity to poorer people doesn’t mean it isn’t enough to explain why the majority is in similar tax brackets, not to mention women requiring it and the ones desirable enough to require it in excess being rare enough to not tip the scales. Though you could certainly argue that any woman desirable enough to date a millionaire could probably easily become one herself…
/r/PurplePillDebate20/06/26 05:48 PM

I believe partnering for men comes at a much higher priority over almost anything else including self respect.
/r/PurplePillDebate20/06/26 05:37 PM

Because they are not required to have social skills in any degree to still be desirable.
/r/PurplePillDebate20/06/26 05:35 PM

They both exclude men and make it seem like a moral failing.
/r/PurplePillDebate20/06/26 05:34 PM

How do I figure what? That some men get excluded? Or that society paints it as a moral failure? As for how a guy can be excluded it’s not being desirable enough. And as for making it a moral failure, the op was already talking about how it always comes back to how a guy bust be a terrible person if he’s excluded.

The problem is a guy with all of those traits, even if at an average level individually, is not average but far above average, what woman consider a “good man” is inherently above average and obviously there isn’t going to be enough above average men to go around.

“A woman so popular with men, she can get men to jester for her and they’ll just do it instead of vetting her out. You’re not going to make me believe you’ll tolerate being humiliated for mediocre pussy.” This is the average woman, because men like average woman.

They may care if it’s an extreme example but for the most part they don’t, the reason you see relationships in similar tax brackets is because of proximity.

Not just mutually compatible but mutually desirable, but yes both people should feel similarly about each other.
/r/PurplePillDebate18/06/26 02:25 AM

So your argument is that both men and women should be seeking those more desirable than themselves? I think the best way to go about it is to try and be with those closest in desirability to yourself for the best chance of relationship success, you’d be setting yourself up for failure if you exclusively were open to someone above in desirability and value.
/r/PurplePillDebate17/06/26 08:52 PM

The difference is that even within all negative traits women can have, men’s variance in attraction is enough that there are always enough that are still even specifically attracted, where as the same is not true for women. How would you have a relationship with someone like that? Simple, if someone were at the level of having a relationship like that then they have no other options and by the simple fact that they are open to you makes them an exception rarer than all others, and that fact alon…
/r/PurplePillDebate17/06/26 05:20 PM

Men having a preference for women when more desirable doesn’t negate a much greater variance in attraction, even if you were to limit all men’s attraction to younger women they would still remain collectively included while the same could not be said for the other way around. Yet all of these women are still included by men unlike their equivalent less desirable men who are excluded from dating entirely.
/r/PurplePillDebate17/06/26 05:03 PM

Men’s attraction has variance that far surpasses women’s, and being poorly adjusted barley effects women’s desirability since the standard they have to live up to is next to nothing.

The misunderstanding here is that nobody is claiming all women are “well-adjusted and attractive” certainly not but the big difference is that those women that are just as poor-adjusted and unattractive are not open to men like them as their counterparts are.

It objectively does solve loneliness actually, that doesn’t mean you will necessarily like them or like what comes with not being lonely.

The reality it that it’s men expecting women to be capable of attraction with any level of variance like they have as men, then learning that the standard they have to live up to and the variance they can have is far more restrictive and exclusive.

To a degree they are, if someone feels a way that they aren’t then well they can’t be so and it then must be those feeling that are flawed.
/r/PurplePillDebate16/06/26 03:16 PM

That would be the cases where they have chemical imbalances quite literally causing them to feel incorrectly. Someone can feel any way about anything that’s why the way they feel about such doesn’t mean much at all in regard to their objective situation.
/r/PurplePillDebate15/06/26 11:07 PM

“If they are treated as they are why date?” And if you don’t want to date then you aren’t lonely you’re just secluding yourself.
/r/PurplePillDebate15/06/26 07:44 PM

Being alone is exclusively inherent to being lonely, you can only feel incorrectly alone while not being so. Because like I said the men who can already do, but not all men can, for most who are undesirable enough to be lonely exclusion from partnering is inherent.
/r/PurplePillDebate15/06/26 07:40 PM

Everyone’s desirability determines how they are treated and worth in their relationship.
/r/PurplePillDebate15/06/26 06:57 PM

If you have those things and feel lonely while not being so then your feelings are wrong as you’re objectively not so, especially when compared to someone who doesn’t have them. A better description would be that someone like that just isn’t fulfilled enough for them.

Aside from him still being less picky than any woman that didn’t have to swipe 2 million times, your point is then that because a guy swiped on 2 million women had had them finally had a date that was unsuccessful that men are therefore pickier? Yes this is most women’s opinion: collective become better for us or be gone. The contention is saying that women holding this sentiment are somehow just as picky as men saying “we’ll take anything we can get”.
/r/PurplePillDebate14/06/26 11:33 PM

So then you are then acknowledging that men are in fact less picky than women? Sure you can argue “just be better for women” that is technically a solution, just as much as just buy a house is a solution to the homeless.
/r/PurplePillDebate14/06/26 11:04 PM

To be fair I think this is true both ways, I don’t think attraction in general is all that related to morality, the difference being that men far less often try to relate them to make themselves seem greater.
/r/PurplePillDebate14/06/26 10:57 PM
20

The argument your making here is basically: men are picky because they fit so few women’s standards that asking for a woman that wants them is actually a high standard. Now aside from that very logic requiring women to be pickier in the first place, saying it’s born out of desperation is certainly likely the case most of the time but it makes little difference, they would still be less picky regardless of the cause, the same way women’s pickiness is born from privilege and abundance of options.

Only the best should get to feel like the best option, an average person deserves to feel like an average option. If an average woman wants to feel like the best option she should be trying to date significantly downward.

If your trying to make the argument that older women are more single and therefore somehow making up for it then that falls apart when you consider that only happens once women are at the age where men are twice as likely to have died, not to mention that those older women both still have many options and are intolerant to younger men.

The reason it flips later in age is because by that point men are twice as likely to have died, and increasingly so with age, meaning women being single in later years is most likely because of their husbands/partners dying, not because they struggle at all.

/r/PurplePillDebate01/06/26 06:21 PM

Men don’t want women to be a “prize to be won”, women want themselves to be a “prize to be won” and present themselves as such, there exists no other way for their attraction to be met.
/r/PurplePillDebate31/05/26 06:28 PM

It’s more so that partnering upwards is an exclusive requirement for woman, and if men aren’t largely making more or sitting higher socially then there becomes fewer and fewer men who are “upward”.
/r/PurplePillDebate31/05/26 06:21 PM

Women are largely exclusively capable of being attracted to men they see as superior to themselves, whether they realize that or not, so when men don’t largely make more money and sit higher in social hierarchy women’s attraction plummets.
/r/PurplePillDebate31/05/26 06:17 PM

Doesn’t need to be. You just don’t want to admit that men acting disrespectful as a limiting factor to their dating life is a rare occurrence, and they are largely disqualified for things outside of their control.

Not exclusively, not if you want anyone to watch it. And in those situations “brought up” are conflated with bias and misunderstanding, let alone the fact of an outlier being more memorable.

But it is how making a YouTube video works, you try to find something interesting and exceptional to make the subject of a video, and in order to be evidence to you point you’d have to show that any significant number of men are the same way otherwise yes it’s evidence of four exceptions.

Sure, but the reality is that not every guy is going to possibly have a woman that can be interested right away, it sucks but the reality for those are that they will have to rise her interest.
/r/PurplePillDebate28/05/26 11:30 PM

The reason it’s an apt comparison is because the situation would be just as displeasing or even deal breaking to women as the original is to men, regardless of the circumstances.

How I would feel? I don’t care about extravagant gifts or outings or any at all so I’m not sure why you’re asking, I need not do so to draw this comparison.

This would be ignoring the possibility that they might realize that she will try to take more from you in the case of a divorce/ likely cheat hence the push for prenup/paternity tests. The push for such would be showing that they aren’t willingly ignorant or ignoring them just recognizing that they are there and doing something about it.

“It’s so easy you can just be inherently desirable!” Unfortunately most men aren’t just inherently desirable and women don’t lose access to partnering at any point, the only thing that happens is they loose access to the most desirable men who they are exclusively interested in. Women may have more of their desirability in their looks thats true but the bar for their looks to be attractive to the majority of men is astronomically lower in comparison, only needing to be average looking to be attr…

It depends, if a guy wasn’t able to date them when he’s 20 than money while older can make his chances go from zero to above zero, but if you are talking about a guy who can date women the same age at twenty then sure his chances will overall likely decrease.
/r/PurplePillDebate25/05/26 10:35 PM
1

Yes something can be likely yet still leave room for possible explanations. The reson they are exceptions is the fact that they were significant enough for someone to make a video about, otherwise it wouldn’t be notable enough to make content about them.
/r/PurplePillDebate25/05/26 10:28 PM
2

It isn’t impossible but just far more likely, the irony here is that even in your supposed examples the reason they are notable at all is because they are exceptions.
/r/PurplePillDebate25/05/26 06:38 AM

Ahh yes because something surely has happened before it must now be both the average and the cause. The reality is that if a woman was treated in a way she didn’t like at all it’s likely because she was trying way too far up in desirability, the average or below guy can never afford to act in any way that women don’t require them to. The dispute of this is acknowledging only interest in greater than average men.
/r/PurplePillDebate24/05/26 10:16 PM

“Man acts like an ass and still has better odds than most” I’m not sure if you realize this but balloon popping videos are not how average men are able to date, let alone the fact that they get above average men do do these for the very fact that they would all be 2 seconds long after all the women pop theirs instantly…
/r/PurplePillDebate24/05/26 09:50 PM
2

You are not giving the example you think you are, what you are saying is literally that this guy “destroyed his chances” while having greater odds than most. The only thing you’ve successfully done is exposed that even desirable men live a world a way from what women can imagine let alone experience.
/r/PurplePillDebate24/05/26 09:42 PM
2

“Destroying” his dating prospects being: having greater odds than most…. A 29% chance is astronomically higher start than what the average guy has if that isn’t obvious to you than it shows how unimaginable the average male experience is to you.
/r/PurplePillDebate24/05/26 09:36 PM
2

The average guy would have been disqualified from most of the women as soon as he entered the door, long before saying or doing anything. Again you are using an example of an already desirable guy who need not use numbers.
/r/PurplePillDebate24/05/26 09:24 PM
1

The problem here is that you are trying to use an already desirable guy as an example for “numbers game” and while it still applies, a desirable guy need not do such because he can have who he wants particularly.
/r/PurplePillDebate24/05/26 09:14 PM
2

Yes, just the same as any other guy, in the end your chances can just be 0%. What you are still not understanding is that this guy despite acting in a way that disqualifies himself to those women is still having better odds afterwards than most, most will be excluded from far more than 29% from the start with no action at all.
/r/PurplePillDebate24/05/26 08:02 PM
2

Most guys lose more than 71% of their prospects from just having a trait much less doing any action. You’re right to the sense that it would’ve worked better with many more women there, increasing his odds, hence the “numbers game”.
/r/PurplePillDebate24/05/26 07:52 PM
2

Yes and despite all of that he ends up with odds greater than the average guy. The “numbers game” is referring to trying with as many women as possible that way, even if you have a trait women find intolerable, you may still have a chance.
/r/PurplePillDebate24/05/26 07:37 PM
3

What you’re missing here is that the odds he’s left with is better than what most men have against them so the reality is that he has better odds despite how he acted.* *
/r/PurplePillDebate24/05/26 07:23 PM

…of course they are bad odds he’s a man. In a dating environment. Thats how it is.
/r/PurplePillDebate24/05/26 07:16 PM
3

….thats the whole reason for people saying its a numbers game, for example with this ratio if he would have stopped at 5 his chances were 0% but increasing it to 7 made it almost 29%. The vast majority of men will be rejected many times, only exception being the most desirable, so what makes it a “numbers game” is that to rise the probability of partnering you must try with more women.

Because of the obvious rarity of such a thing, unless you are claiming just as many women are into pegging as men into anal. Yes it does matter, as you can’t be realistically comparing to something that basically doesn’t happen.
/r/PurplePillDebate24/05/26 06:48 PM

The problem with this argument is that men are much more likely to be willing to do what the majority of women want them to do, so the situation where the woman had some niche or the man refusing is far more rare.

I would agree, but a great deal of women would not.
/r/PurplePillDebate23/05/26 05:44 PM

The effects this would have on a woman are minor, barely even notable, and like most are entirely negated by dating within your desirability.

The closest comparison is finding out your partner used to go all out on valentines/birthday with their ex in the past buying expensive gifts and planing extravagant things together, but with you they just give a card or tell you “happy birthday/valentines”

/r/PurplePillDebate23/05/26 04:53 PM

While this is true in a sense the only problem is that there are no women that are trying to partner up with men at the same level of desirability, so while this would be true if they were trying to partner with their equal but women are exclusively interested in pairing up with men who have essentially far surpassed her despite her immense image advantages. There exists no woman who wouldn’t be able to partner in any way she wants if she were open to her equivalent, not even the most hideously …

Humor and charisma is the only chance they have, and like any other trait not everyone is going to be exceptional at it, the issue it that if otherwise undesirable that charisma has to be many times more exceptional to make up for it.

You have a group that’s more attracted to the other, has nearly the entire burden of performance, minimum standards being the other party just shows up, and had to go through immeasurably more effort to get there. Compare that to the group less attracted, places entire burden of getting of on the other, has immeasurably higher requirements, and has gone through less than no effort to get there. Why any such gap exists should be painfully obvious to anyone.

If a man is interpreting the effects of “women are wonderful” as how it made him feel towards women than that’s the wrong interpretation the ways it would have effected him would have been the ways it effected women.

/r/PurplePillDebate18/05/26 10:10 PM

I would dispute the criteria of what they would consider a negative comment, for instance more sexual comments that would obviously be sent to women more therefore skewing the already very close percentage towards women.
/r/PurplePillDebate18/05/26 09:38 PM

Except that you can find skews in data on both sides, women are overestimating mean comments they may get online because it’s just about the only place they ever actually receive them, so the only thing disproportionate is women’s reaction to comments online.

Like I said half of them actively blame men for low birthrates. Maybe that’s not what you wanted the focus to be but context is importance and matters significantly, especially when your first reply jumps to the discussion on the severity of the blowback.
/r/PurplePillDebate18/05/26 04:29 AM

Talks of birthrates are not exclusive blaming women though are they, in fact a lot of the time widespread discussion on birthrates blame men for not being good enough. Are you trying to argue that the cause of women receiving blowback is irrelevant to a post about women receiving blowback?

So much for your last response. Yet again if you are selecting from a group you **are** actively excluding those you didn’t select, all else is incorrect. Probably because that’s the path you took us down, trying to trying to argue women arnt even the cause and that those feeling were illogical. So by arguing those points it was in fact you that brought yourself off of the topic you wanted to stay on.

They need not act on collective intention, if all individually exclude men, resulting in that collective exclusion. When did I justify any harm? In fact the only things I’ve justified so far is feeling such a way. Your attempt to portray things outside of what they are doesn’t track.
/r/PurplePillDebate18/05/26 03:19 AM

If you are selecting from a group, definitionally the ones not selected from that group are excluded, additionally I’m talking about on a macro entire group level not individually. An individual woman may not but if an entire group collectively is than yet it is excluding.
/r/PurplePillDebate18/05/26 03:08 AM

Being excluded, not an individual not being attracted to them. They are all obvious enough to most that they are self evident. Of course construction workers don’t generally face mortal danger, they aren’t causing a very severe or profound effect in the case of noise.
/r/PurplePillDebate18/05/26 01:08 AM

And the majority of people responding emotionally that way would make it the correct emotional response because that’s how you determine it in the first place. Severity will determine the extent of the response. Obviously.
/r/PurplePillDebate18/05/26 12:46 AM
1

No, that would depend on the severity of the cause. Like I said if it’s just something like construction sounds that are annoying then obviously not, but if it’s something effecting them far more profoundly than yes, of course the reaction will be more escalated. I’m arguing that becoming angry is the correct response for a humans emotions to take.
/r/PurplePillDebate18/05/26 12:37 AM

Because it is what everyone does, it may be illogical on a macro level but on a personal level it’s exactly what makes sense, just like how almost everyone would end up upset about the construction, especially online which is fundamentally a place to vent it. This is simply true for everything that the cause will carry the blame regardless of intent, especially if there is no fault to point to.
/r/PurplePillDebate18/05/26 12:28 AM

But when there is no fault the blame then goes to the cause, that anger isn’t going to just disappear especially with something so fundamental to a person fulfillment such as this. A better example would be if there was construction on the house next to yours and the noise made you upset, they are allowed to be there and make that noise, they aren’t doing anything wrong so you can argue it’s illogical but it will still be annoying to the vast majority, and I would are to the contrary and say tha…

A cause is defined as anything that produces an effect, meaning you need not try to do something or be in control of it to still produce an effect. The vast majority of people, men and women, are drawn to romantically partner in some way, that’s the reason it happens, if you want to diminish this by saying that innate desire is “entitlement” than fine, but that would make it true for both men and women.
/r/PurplePillDebate17/05/26 11:57 PM

You can still be the cause of something even if you aren’t in control of it, it doesn’t mean you are doing anything wrong but you don’t have to be in control or be intentionally doing something to still cause it.

I don’t think that being “pickier” is disputed and if it is it’s entirely ignorant, it’s exclusion that is the point of contention and a valid reason for grief. You don’t understand how someone can be upset or vitriolic against a group that is the cause of that grief, controllable or not?

In scenario 1. Only the absolute pinnacle <1% of men will ever receive attraction and the human race is gone in a generation. In scenario 2. ….nothing happens and it may even result in lower expectations for men, even if slightly.
/r/PurplePillDebate17/05/26 09:25 PM

It does happen, it’s just that women’s capacity for that level of attraction to men is so small and restrictive that it isn’t even a noticeable occurrence.
/r/PurplePillDebate17/05/26 09:22 PM
2

A “safe space” can’t come from a publicly open thread online, that’s like asking for a place to change your clothes while on the stage of a theater. As for why it may seem disproportionate for the amount of men upset is because ultimately, unlike the other way around, women’s collective breadth of attraction excludes men, obviously resulting in the grief of realizing you will be left out.
/r/PurplePillDebate17/05/26 09:20 PM

The only problem here is that being desired emotionally doesn’t happen to men very much either, meaning ultimately women’s fear is being desired for half of themselves at minimum while men’s is more that they don’t get to be desired for anything at all.
/r/PurplePillDebate16/05/26 07:02 PM

Ultimately it’s because women only ever approach men far more desirable than themselves, if they are attracted enough to approach a man then it’s nearly a guarantee that this is true.

That doesn’t mean you don’t care about them individually but that you can care about all of them individually, it’s like what you describe for yourself but in reverse where the guys you described as “attractive” are the women that men find their personality’s attractive (just in a bunch higher quantity) and the women who they find physically so are the ones you also get to know (again just in higher quantity). interchangeable means “able to be interchanged” so unless a guy was able do so with an…
/r/PurplePillDebate15/05/26 08:40 PM

Not if you actively wanted someone from number 3-37.

Why do you think that means it would be settling?
/r/PurplePillDebate15/05/26 08:17 PM

If you were with someone outside of the 80% then yeah you could certainly call that settling, but not if it was a woman in the 80% or any percentage you wanted.
/r/PurplePillDebate15/05/26 08:12 PM
1

That could only be the case if you **could** date 80% of women, otherwise you’d quite literally not be interchanged and therefore not be interchangeable.
/r/PurplePillDebate15/05/26 08:09 PM
1

Then increase that 1% to however many men you are willing to be in a relationship with currently, and if it reaches a level that qualifies as “interchangeable” then men are just as interchangeable to women and if not, as I imagine it won’t, then it wouldn’t make any sense to feel interchangeable.
/r/PurplePillDebate15/05/26 08:02 PM
1

That would be illogical considering the rarity of a woman being open to a relationship (I’m assuming you’re talking about in regards to a relationship) with any individual man just take your 1% for example. So she should feel like she’s part of that 1% or less, maybe you could then argue interchangeable within that.
/r/PurplePillDebate15/05/26 07:48 PM

What I’m saying is that men are nearly universally attracted to all other traits, that’s why “personality doesn’t matter” because men will be attracted to it anyway, including “raging Cs”. By standard I’m saying that’s the reason men don’t hold a standard for those other traits (barring obvious exceptions)
/r/PurplePillDebate15/05/26 07:35 PM
1

You misunderstand why men “disregard everything else” it’s because they can be attracted to nearly every other trait, so if men can be attracted to every other trait why would it be a standard.
/r/PurplePillDebate15/05/26 07:24 PM
1

Regardless you do hold that as a standard and obviously it needs to be factored in just like any other standard anyone might have.
/r/PurplePillDebate15/05/26 07:11 PM
1

But if you say have a requirement of getting to know them then that still has to be factored in for the amount of men you would be willing to engage with. And to be fair if what you are saying is true I think you’d likely be much more open than most women for either category.
/r/PurplePillDebate15/05/26 06:55 PM
1

So then the equivalent 80% for men talked about in the post is <1% for you. And the sum of the men you are willing/wanting to have sex with is roughly 35-45%.
/r/PurplePillDebate15/05/26 06:41 PM

So what percentage of men do you end up wanting to date after getting to know? Because the difference would have to be taken away from that 40-50%

/r/PurplePillDebate15/05/26 04:30 AM
1

Just overall, not exclusively limiting to looks. I wouldn’t include wanting to get to know better only because the thread is talking about the comparison of the percentage of women that men are actively willing to partner with, unless you can consistently come up with a percentage of the men that after getting to know that reliably meet the standard. Because if we are including that then that same number for men would be basically all women baring only the absolute least desirable.
/r/PurplePillDebate14/05/26 03:32 AM
1

The definition of considering someone attractive is objectively if you are attracted to them. But if you are so set in wanting it to be lees, what is the percentage of men you see that you would like to be in a relationship/have sex with? Combined or listed separately either way.
/r/PurplePillDebate13/05/26 11:28 PM
1

The world may not be but the word itself does define it, if that person is disqualified from attraction then they are also disqualified from being considered attractive to you, that’s what the word itself entails, especially within the context of this thread.
/r/PurplePillDebate13/05/26 10:48 PM
2

The only difference between the words are specifying someone eliciting so vs someone feeling so, unless you are trying to say that you think they are attractive to others but not yourself. But otherwise in order for someone to be considered attractive to them that person must be attracted to them….. obviously…. Even if you’re trying to say they pass a physical standard but not an emotional that still objectively places someone outside of “attractive” to you unless you feel, well attracted.

“You can find someone attractive and not be attracted to them.” I’m sorry but this just doesn’t make sense, that feeling of attraction is what makes someone attractive, it doesn’t exclusively need to be physical but in order to be considered “attractive” it quite literally does need to illicit those feelings.
/r/PurplePillDebate13/05/26 07:49 PM
2

Then I don’t think you are using “attractive” correctly here even with generality included, you would need to want them in some way in order for attraction to qualify, whether that’s a relationship or casual, so the reality is that you don’t actually find 60% “attractive”.

This gets confused often, the reason women’s personalities “don’t matter” isn’t because men don’t care for them at all, it doesn’t matter because no matter the personality a woman has there will always be men attracted to it, in other words it’s such a universally accepted thing for women that it doesn’t matter the type that you have.

Tim sure women do consider them terrible, that’s an easy way to write them off and signal that “actually they’re just terrible and shouldn’t ever get to partner”. Which proves my point.

Unfortunately this would take the vast majority of men going most of their lives romantically alone for this sort of change to have any effect, if it even would, and even then it can only result in even fewer men being able to participate because the only men women can be attracted enough to show interest to must be a small fraction.
/r/PurplePillDebate10/05/26 08:54 AM

The irony here is that for women to consider them compatible they do have to preform like that. The reality is that the reason men can’t prioritize compatibility is because there aren’t enough women who consider themselves compatible with enough men to facilitate this.
/r/PurplePillDebate10/05/26 08:51 AM

I mean we already acknowledge that women have an insane in group bias while men have an out group bias, couple that with the simple fact that men simply see far more women as attractive across the board while women can only see a few as attractive and this seems pretty obvious as to why.
/r/PurplePillDebate10/05/26 08:47 AM

Women are attracted to desirable men, I used abusive because I assumed it would be *considered* intolerable to those who were arguing for the threads point. But yes you’re right being abusive certainly won’t exclude a guy by itself, but just replace that with any other intolerable trait or combination of, for instance just not being exceptionally physically desirable while not being able to make up for it with charisma or wealth.

So then by definition “be yourself” is bad advice for him because the context of the advice has the goal of partnering.

So what if someone’s self is something only possibly undesirable? For an extreme example, one that is far from the only way to be excluded, what if someone’s self was abusive in every way? Would that still be the most effective advice for them? And remember that advice within this context must have the end goal of partnering in some way, and cannot include eliminating the advised.

Men are not given the choice to be around who they like particularly, and when given the choice of nobody (worst case scenario) or someone you don’t particularly like, the choice is obvious. Men definitely do have the ability to be around those they don’t particularly like as opposed to women in general, because they have to, if they didn’t we wouldn’t be here now.
/r/PurplePillDebate08/05/26 06:28 AM

The reason is that ultimately it comes down to the fact that women are the bottle neck for romantic partnering of any kind and will always exclude men given no other external motive towards partnering. And this generally paints women in a bad light in the same way eugenics is looked at negatively. Even women who push back the most about deserving their perfect preference deep down understand how it looks.

That’s incorrect because what I said is that why would something less severe be a priority over something more severe. You could’ve only had a point there if men’s out group bias was just as strong as women’s in group bias, but it obviously isn’t.

Yeah of course men’s out group bias hurts them, but women’s in group bias is still much stronger than men’s out group bias, it’s like worrying about a broken arm while you are bleeding out, a broken arm is a big deal but not nearly as bad as bleeding to death.

The problem with this is that for every guy there isn’t a woman out there that can possibly be attracted to them, so “don’t try with women who don’t like you” is no different than saying “just resign yourself to being alone forever”. Which of course ultimately is really the only thing they can do in the end, but let’s not act like resigning yourself to the worst existence is an easy thing to accept.

For men the desire to partner is at minimum on per with self preservation, and for that to be possible to fulfill as a man you need lots of female validation.

The idea itself is sort of off because you can have “self worth” but it can be lower, accurate or higher than your actual worth which can only be determined by others, essentially self worth is just your own estimation of your worth, which can vary wildly in accuracy.

They will all share the same high level of desirability though, as it straight up isn’t possible to facilitate otherwise, and examples to the contrary are simply downplaying that desirability for the sake of the argument without exception.
/r/PurplePillDebate02/05/26 09:54 AM

Unfortunately the reason women can have a “way out” is simply because primary desire when it comes to partnering is to exclude men, which provides them the outcome of even not partnering at all to be still partially fulfilling. But as for men it is the opposite as a group it’s to include as many women as possible and ensure the human race keeps going, and it’s this difference that causes such a divide, one that no social system or conditioning can ever meaningfully change.

The problem here is that If a woman is even entertaining the thought of dating a man who isn’t her perfect preference then she would have to be very low in desirability meaning that her equivalent guy is the same guys who are intolerable to her. In other words these 2 critiques are for different things the former is for dating exclusively men who are much more relatively desirable while the latter is for putting others in a situation where their partner isn’t attracted to them, and the reason th…

…the whole point of contention is whether men are more ok with that treatment or not, so I’m not even sure where you are trying to go with this anymore. But if you really didn’t think gender matters either way then you wouldn’t care if it was included in the equivalence, the reason you don’t want it to be is because it inevitably leads to the conclusion that yes men would be ok with that equivalent treatment and would in fact be an improvement over what most receive.
/r/PurplePillDebate30/04/26 08:21 PM

You can just as easily say treatment is less relevant just because you feel so, which is why you need to include all details instead of just the ones you feel are relevant.

A “pick me” is simply a woman that is trying to compete for men in a similar way that men are forced to, the reason women dislike them is because they aren’t falling in line forcing men to compete for women, and the reason that it isn’t as effective as you’d think is because they are still trying to have men much more desirable than themselves pick them.
/r/PurplePillDebate30/04/26 07:57 PM

/r/PurplePillDebate29/04/26 08:16 PM

What does that have to do with the equivalence of the situation? You need not feel any certain way about it, only that it’s the equivalence, in fact you must specifically not include feeling any specific way because someone can feel entirely different either way. If “by the opposite gender” didn’t matter as a detail then you wouldn’t feel so strongly about it being required for an equivalence.
/r/PurplePillDebate29/04/26 08:09 PM

So then why does unwanted matter if gender doesn’t? Why does stronger matter? Why does attraction matter? You are excluding things you don’t want to try and argue a different situation which is bad faith, if you want what is equivalent you cannot just exclude details because they don’t suit your argument, you cannot include details like stronger and not attracted to if you’d like but you’d then you also need to include by the opposite gender.

So women are being objectified I’m majority by other women then? Remember it isn’t how you feel about it that determines reality but how it is regardless how you feel about it, meaning it doesn’t matter if they are not attractive to you but the fact that they are the opposite sex that determines the equivalence, so you can try to say women that men are not attracted to but not men, unless women were being objectified by women.

The irony here is that women complaining about “sexual objectification” are simply talking about men being attracted to them physically, which is no less a part of you than your mind.

The flaw here is the implication of “what they want” being weighed just the same but the reality is that what men as a group want is so much less, it’s like saying giving 2 different people 100$ isn’t fair because one of them wanted more than 100$. Again it isn’t that women offer more but the lay men are happier with less which is an important distinction, though you do have a point to the fact that it’s impossible for women to be similarly happy with less as men are.
/r/PurplePillDebate29/04/26 06:02 AM

Because it means that it doesn’t matter if it’s a tangible value or not because in the end it isn’t that men are “mad that women want tangible value too” but mad that they are required so much more of that tangible value, and what men see as being tangible value is so much less.
/r/PurplePillDebate28/04/26 10:51 PM

Yes, but we are not talking about individuals that need not ever improve or possess exceptional skills/traits but an entire group (women), that’s why the difference is important between only ever needing to provide tangible benefits that are inherently a part of you, that have and always would have vs tangible benefits that come from exceptions, developed traits/skills or features outside of yourself.
/r/PurplePillDebate28/04/26 08:15 PM

The things women provide do also have tangible value but the only difference is that they only ever require women to be as they are, never having required to improve or change, provide something outside themselves and/ or develop some exceptional skill/ trait.

Except that men are ok with “undesirable” women, only when women are try to be ok with men far more desirable than themselves do they see otherwise, and if that’s at odds with with what she thinks than it’s only showing her how much less desirable she is compared to how she thinks of herself.

/r/PurplePillDebate18/04/26 03:09 AM

Not necessarily, more so if she feels any pressure to be more than she is or have different traits either emotionally or physically. Unfortunately for those of us near the bottom of desirability our equivalence are going to be those we find just as undesirable as they find us, meaning that you can either be ok with someone you specifically find undesirable for any reason or unfortunately be alone.
/r/PurplePillDebate17/04/26 08:42 PM

I’m saying that a woman feeling any pressure to be a certain way or have certain traits is showing that she is trying too far upwards in desirability and that that fact in itself is more reliable than her observation/evaluation of such.
/r/PurplePillDebate17/04/26 08:32 PM

Yes, that is the reality that’s why most men partnered with women that they don’t particularly like (doesn’t mean they dislike them), like I said the only way to observe otherwise is when there is a significant difference in desirability in fact if this is even happening to a woman than it is the determining factor showing she is much less desirable.
/r/PurplePillDebate17/04/26 08:09 PM

They get to be chosen and, as long as the woman isn’t exceedingly lower in desirability, it will be more than acceptable. As for who individual men are specifically attracted to, only the men at the very top of desirability get to partner with that, in other words if a woman is even facing pressure to be a certain way than it’s because she’s trying way too far upwards in desirability.
/r/PurplePillDebate17/04/26 07:54 PM

Women’s advice is always given on the tacit requirement of the guy being desirable to her in the first place, but if a guy is even in need of dating advice then that is pointless because he would have to not be desirable to women to need it.
/r/PurplePillDebate17/04/26 07:47 PM

Men are going to be interested in the women that are attracted to them, and will have no such restrictive standards both physically and emotionally, and only when a woman is extremely lower in desirability can any problem with that even arise.

Women complain about dating just as much, the only difference is that, unlike men, women have control over dating dynamics and shape the way they function. In other words one is complainants about what they can’t control while the other is complainants about what is entirely within their control.

/r/PurplePillDebate15/04/26 04:29 AM

The objective answer would be that men are excluded for height more than any other trait as it’s the most correlated to a man’s dating status. Personally I would say it’s simply not being physically attractive enough for a woman (not very uncommon in itself) but also not being charismatic enough for emotional attraction either, and you could include not being exceptionally wealthy enough to make up for both of them technically but that would be exceptionally rare anyway.

Not very many women are actually “shallow” by definition because what women require men to be in order to qualify encompasses so many more factors that it could scarcely be considered “shallow”.

There hasn’t been, but there has been a rise in women who are intolerant to their opinions, same situation will all women, exposure to more men rises standards and therefore excluding more men, the only difference is that women at the very bottom have risen their standards so far outside of their desirability that very few of those men will entertain them.

Women widely have such high standards for physical attraction that they need to use emotional and responsive desire as it’s the only other ways to feel attracted, men feel responsive desire too it just isn’t the only thing that can realistically meet their standards for feeling attraction.

This isn’t men forcing the onus on women it’s simply the only way most of the men will even be able to have a match and get to the point where they can even talk, otherwise it would just not happen at all for the vast majority.

All of this would be solved by simply dating within one own level of desirability, and if they believe they’ve been doing that but still having the same issues than that is evidence that they in fact are not and are still reaching outside their desirability.

Unfortunately this would just result in a lot more men being excluded from even the most undesirable women, for example if a man were to disclose inexperience he would be excluded entirely, far more so than any woman with excess experience too.

The whole point is that what men put in for women would make them feel desired if done back to them, making no double standard just one group that expects/requires far more.

Obviously not, but the privileges of attraction greatly outweigh even the chances of the worst downsides. What I’m asserting is that one is objectively worse, to the degree that it’s not even worth living a life like that at all.

How is what displayed? Being willing? If what he wants is for her to be willing in the same way as himself then all he’s asking for is simply reciprocal. Not to mention the simple fact that he would feel desired if he were treated the same way he treated her while the complaint is simply that that isn’t enough for her, so much so that she thinks it’s “nothing”.
/r/PurplePillDebate05/04/26 05:40 PM

Yes, I won’t entertain that having people attracted isn’t a privilege no matter the downside the positive greatly outweighs it, I believe it would be better even if that attraction were to be the guaranteed end of someone much less the chance. Yea I realize why you may want someone attracted to you in the way you want them to be but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s only accepting people to be attracted the way you want them attracted to you. Then all it takes would be clarifying beforehand…

Well he’s actually putting in sexual attraction and willingness towards her is he not? And isn’t that what you are talking about him wanting back, whether you see it as nothing or not doesn’t make it so.

So essentially the man in this situation wants what he puts in for her but that isn’t enough for her and she wants more, that isn’t a double standard it’s just one group wanting more than the other.

My whole point was that if a man wakes up a woman than his entire ability to be attracted to any given trait would also chance. But if we are talking about how women are generally treated vs men then yeah that would be like an unattainable dream in comparison.

What’s most attractive and what meets a standard is in fact not the same thing, a man be accepting of a standard yet still have traits he is more attracted to and this is how the vast majority of men partner, not with who is most attractive but who meets their standard.

The problem is when women approach they only exclusively do so with who they are utmost attracted to, and unless she’s at the very top of desirability, that guy is going to be massively more desirable than herself. Approaching means doing so close to your own desirability and specifically not who your most attracted to, as long as you aren’t literally the most desirable, which is something women won’t ever be willing to do.
/r/PurplePillDebate02/04/26 07:43 PM

But if it could be any female body that’s still wanting the body and therefore the person, it just may be more indiscriminate. Again someone’s body is just as much a part of themselves as their mind unlike money that isn’t part of you at all, meaning that exclusively liking the body in any way is objectively more humanizing than it would be with money.

Depends on what you mean by worse, but a man wanting sex from a woman is still objectively wanting her while wanting money from a man isn’t wanting him so in terms of being dehumanizing it is significantly and objectively less so. And before you think that if a guy wanted sex from any woman makes it more dehumanizing, it doesn’t because it’s still wanting the woman just being less discriminate.

The reason age gap relationships happen is because of the few traits women can be attracted to, if they can be developed, it takes many years to do it, so by the time a guy could have developed traits or wealth to the level women require he’s obviously going to be older.

No giving half after the fact would be retroactive, those things were still earned by the husband she just has access to half, until of course a divorce. The same thing the other way, as she has already received the provision for that time you are referring to in the past. She has already received the provision equivalent to her worth during the marriage and if the assets are his then she’s simply no longer entitled to access half of them.

Women’s attraction specifically scales with exceptionalism, but in a way you are right a woman isn’t going to consider herself compatible with a guy that isn’t the top portion of desirability.

/r/PurplePillDebate29/03/26 09:06 AM

The portion of the payment during the marriage was already paid in the marriage itself so retroactive payment for the wife portion equaling half wouldn’t make sense so the only portion remaining would be the mother portion, so maybe a quarter could be but certainly not half.

This explanation seems to be ignoring the obvious, if a woman wanted casual sex and therefore had innumerable options, then she will only exclusively be open the the absolute best of those options which is going to be the same guy that the other women who want casual sex is open to.

It’s because that’s the way women’s attraction works, specifically so in order to try and collectively “better”/ refine genetics, while men’s attraction on the other hand has the priority of including women as a group to ensure reproduction happens.

Only very desirable men can even pursue women like that and the majority of men aren’t those very desirable men, not to mention the much smaller fractions of women who exist that you are talking about.

The reason women give responses of seemingly being open to it is because they only consider men they can be attracted to approaching them, ones that they may even think are “average”, that’s why the actual average guys experience is so vastly different.

The reason is because where you don’t see any value at that level men still do because they are treated with so much less value than even what you understand as “none”

Just as long as we are acknowledging that included in that fantasy is that the man who that “mate-bond” is with is always significantly more desirable. The prominent male fantasy is the idea of choice, as opposed the reality of having to take what you can get if any.

Because the difference is that women are still actively valued and never excluded, despite being average or below, the reason those criticisms stand out in the first place is because women are almost never treated in that way while her equivalent guy will have always been excluded that’s the comparison.

Essentially since “dating” itself is something that largely just happens to women it starts to become repetitive to them because of how much they can easily do it, it would be like consuming any kind of content where no matter how interesting it may have been the first few times since they’ve been on the receiving end so many times it becomes routine for them, and since there is almost no back and forth another perspective is never formed.

The most telling information coming out of this is how many women don’t even consider their match at all, as in it isn’t even a factor, so it’s no wonder they just reach as far up as they possibly can with little regard for their own less desirability.

Because the reason men shouldn’t listen to women is because unlike successful men they don’t understand or even consider what it’s like to be the ones having to overcome excessive exclusion, but on the reverse women don’t have to overcome any exclusion or standards collectively, not only that but advice from men would still be coming from the sole party that has had to overcome exclusion.
/r/PurplePillDebate06/03/26 07:26 PM

So? People incorrectly identify that all the time, like you are right now. Why do you assume that? Being a man means the chance at being excluded from possible attraction, not just not who you want or even someone you don’t like at all but excluded from all woman’s capacity to feel a form of attraction.
/r/PurplePillDebate04/03/26 06:53 PM

Than like I said if that’s the case we wasn’t an incel. The norm for an incel would be to not have a standard. Otherwise he wouldn’t be one, in fact that’s the determining factor. They want anyone who is willing to partner with them in any way, no sex required as that would be a standard they can’t have. Yes because if that’s true, he then couldn’t have been an “incel”.
/r/PurplePillDebate04/03/26 06:48 PM

/r/PurplePillDebate04/03/26 06:38 PM

So? The only thing determining if a man is an “incel” or not is being excluded from possible attraction by women. So if he didn’t fit that then he wasn’t one. “What morals?” You commented about men complaining that rapists could do better than them and my response was that desirability is the determining factor. They are open to any woman so that’s obviously going to include women without morals as well.
/r/PurplePillDebate04/03/26 06:35 PM

As for how many women incorrectly correlate height to genitalia size who knows, but whether they do it because they are looking for that or are exclusively attracted to men who are big it makes little difference in the end. An important difference about men wanting small women is that it’s by no means the exclusive means of attraction like it is for women.
/r/PurplePillDebate04/03/26 06:27 PM
1

This is an example of less standards and an obvious complaint of undesirability, as they would take any woman yet cannot while someone less moral can still have access to partnering. Because they don’t understand that morality is not desirability and desirability is what determines if a guy is excluded from all women or not regardless of morality.
/r/PurplePillDebate04/03/26 06:21 PM

They do not, maybe men that women label as such, but no undesirable guy has any such standards or any in fact.
/r/PurplePillDebate04/03/26 06:09 PM

Not just genitalia but being big/imposing is a collectively held standard in women, and obviously not a collectively held trait in men.
/r/PurplePillDebate04/03/26 06:08 PM

If a guy has this as a standard in the first place than he’s very desirable at minimum, no average guy has this standard, in fact this is so true that you can use this as an anchoring point for determining what the average or above guy really is.

The problem with this argument is that the vast majority of guys never will be desirable enough to “pull a harem” so it’s irrelevant, the reverse is that every woman would only be open to dating the tallest, wealthiest and most charismatic guy if she were attractive enough but she isn’t and won’t be.

/r/PurplePillDebate28/02/26 09:43 PM

Women do certainly exist on a spectrum of desirability but it’s also important to realize that none of them “don’t get approached”, the lowest desirability they can exist at is simply not being approached by who they specifically want to be approached by.

Both looks and social skill/ escalation are majority determined inherently without any major changes being possible, nature > nurture, while exposure has the greatest case to me made in the end exposure matters little if exposed to 100 women that can’t be attracted vs 5 women that can’t be attracted.
/r/PurplePillDebate27/02/26 08:28 PM

Low body count is still only one aspect of desirability, a woman can still be very low in desirability otherwise and in turn not have much value in a relationship. The difference your seeing isn’t low be high body count but just low vs high desirability (at least as it pertains to results with exclusively desirable men).
/r/PurplePillDebate27/02/26 08:22 PM
11

The problem with this argument it that it ignores the possibility that the examples of men you are talking about are simply just correct. If it has already been shown that men favor women and women also favor women in bias that just means examples brought up to the contrary just mean the woman is that much in the wrong.

The vast majority of young men would never be able to qualify for “going on as many dates as possible” for the vast majority “going on a date with every women who could like them” is a handful in their lifetime. Any experience outside of this is absolutely NOT average.
/r/PurplePillDebate26/02/26 08:30 PM
1

The men who end up in that position in the first place are the men that are below what women can be attracted to, so saying “just don’t pay for dates” is the same as saying “just don’t date”. Sort of similar to women who think men just overwhelmingly want sex with them because they are trying to date so far outside their desirability the only difference being that the man who has to be used for money can’t date his equivalent or below without it either.
/r/PurplePillDebate26/02/26 08:26 PM

Considering men overall objectively don’t have an in group bias and instead it’s actually the other way around, meaning the push back you see that you have incorrectly identified as bias is simply just responses, essentially truth pushing back against a lie.

Just go to any space for women who are the bottom of the barrel in desirability and you’ll find that none of them have gone without men being attracted, it’s just men they don’t want. Even the response of “women don’t work that way” comes with the implication that women do always receive attraction, they just don’t want it/not from the men they are exclusively open to. All this is concerning for relationships as well mind you.
/r/PurplePillDebate24/02/26 06:34 PM

No I’m specifically including the absolute bottom percentage of women, as in as low in desirability as women can go. Yes I don’t disagree, it is unrealistic for men to expect to receive anywhere near the same level or variance in attraction that women receive, but the reason is simply because men just have a much greater capacity and variance for such.
/r/PurplePillDebate24/02/26 06:05 PM

They really do, they may not be desired by the men they exclusively want but that’s no less the case. I understand they “dont work like that” that they don’t care that they remain desired without any effort or expectations, but that doesn’t mean it’s not still the case.

Yeah even an exaggeratedly worse role reversal of a dating app scenario is significantly better for men, the reality is that even the worst case situation of the least desirable woman is a distant fantasy for the vast majority of men both online and off.
/r/PurplePillDebate24/02/26 05:41 PM

The irony here is that plenty of women do absolutely require money, jewelry, expensive gifts, etc. in order for them to love someone. And women are already replaceable to the men they are open to dating because they have such low standards to like up to (yes for relationships) that most other women would qualify.
/r/PurplePillDebate23/02/26 08:46 PM

It’s all pretty irrelevant because overall is would only matter for the things women can be attracted to men for (charisma, looks, money) so the answer would be whoever haze more of those 3 traits and if they are the same then the answer is they’d both do the same.
/r/PurplePillDebate23/02/26 08:34 PM

Unfortunately women’s attraction specifically exists to progressively exclude more men over time, that’s why it can and has only been getting worse for men, and why most will never be able to be authentic and have possible relationships, the ones you are thinking of otherwise are simply men who already were inherently wanting to be what they had to make themselves.

This is assuming the guy has the potential inherently to do that, and authentically wants to have to better himself to the extreme, otherwise it isn’t so. And unfortunately even the least desirable women are not open enough to include all men, even at their best.

Being ghosted like that is essentially women’s version of being rejected on dating apps, meaning that you are likely aiming too far up in desirability, for better results you’d need to lower the desirability of men you are trying to match with and that would include how much you specifically would desire them.
/r/PurplePillDebate21/02/26 08:32 PM

People don’t generally like when told that they by default have things inherently easier, instead preferring to believe that they’re efforts have made a difference or that they are just so much better. Essentially it just breaks a self aggrandizing belief they had in themselves.

This response doesn’t make very much sense, not only would in not matter why women have more options in order for this criticism to be appropriate, but men do care about quality they just don’t largely get the options to be able to choose it, that’s kinda the whole point.

The fact of the matter is that undesirable men (as in definitionally unable to be desired) will take any women they can have, in any way she will allow and as long as men like that exist in realistic numbers women of all desirability’s will have enough options to always be “choosing” their partner not just choosing to date.
/r/PurplePillDebate09/02/26 03:52 AM

Those weren’t the only options you had, and if you think they are then you are not seeing them at best or being untruthful at worst. Women always have options in men even those at the very absolute bottom of desirability (unattractive, disabled, autistic, deformed, abusive, etc.) the men of the same or even better will always be open to them.
/r/PurplePillDebate09/02/26 03:14 AM

You don’t have to consider them real for them to still be options, options must include ones you don’t like. Here we get to the crux of the problem, women do not consider their options to actually be so because they are unsatisfactory to them, meanwhile those options they deem unsatisfactory are a rare fantasy for men who overwhelmingly have to partner with women they don’t particularly like to stand a chance at participating at all.

Since you mentioned apps, about 40% of men on them (and I’d be inclined to believe that’s a low ball) want long term relationships, so how many likes have you gotten on apps and 40% of those would be a realistic number of options you have. And let’s say you an extremely rare exception and have far fewer than most women, this would make you akin to the few men who have had options and have chosen poorly in the same way, but since it’s such an overwhelmingly small exception (where even in the exce…

My point is that, like in your case where the man you yourself have dated have four times less likelihood to be partnered, that at any level of desirability a woman is at, the men at that level have far fewer options. And the vast majority of women have multiple options (for relationships) including those at the very bottom of desirability, they just don’t consider the options they have as “options” because they are unsatisfactory to them.

/r/PurplePillDebate09/02/26 01:07 AM

So that means they were exceptionally outgoing as far as autistic men go, they wouldn’t have much experience with women as they are four times less likely to yes.

Remember an option for a relationship does not have to be a particularly likable one to the individual but simply someone willing.
/r/PurplePillDebate09/02/26 12:42 AM

Well they were objectively exceptional to be able to be in a relationship while being neurodivergent. Like I said they are four times less likely than women, so there we find your equivalent: a guy four times less likely to be partnered let alone having as many options.
/r/PurplePillDebate09/02/26 12:30 AM
2

That can all be so and they can still be desirable for whatever categories they fall in, in fact that is further evidence of such considering how neurodivergent men are something like 4x less likely to be partnered, the ones who are would exclusively need to be exceptional.
/r/PurplePillDebate08/02/26 11:32 PM

I have no idea about your desirability, but nobody should ever trust their own estimate of their own desirability much less someone else’s estimate of their own.

Remember that it’s specifically having options and choosing badly that women are being scrutinized for, so only a man with the same level of choices would make any sense to do the same. Not only is this not equivalent but it also doesn’t have to be for the analogy to be apt.

This argument doesn’t really work because the women in these relationships don’t do these things either they just require them, meaning they just require more than they themselves are doing.

This is the same issue that just because someone is not satisfied (“girlfriend is crazy, fiancé cheated, wife dead bedroom, ex wanted to take all my shit”) that they don’t still have it entirely better, satisfaction is an irrelevant metric to determine who’s better off here.
/r/PurplePillDebate07/02/26 07:46 PM

Satisfaction is irrelevant, just because someone may be less satisfied with better doesn’t still mean they are still receiving better treatment, the way they perceive it is just incorrect. Women interested 300 years ago easily, there is no existence that is worse than being entirely romantically excluded, an early death is preferable. Like I said just because someone can be unsatisfied with better treatment doesn’t mean it equates to being worse off.
/r/PurplePillDebate07/02/26 12:52 AM

The problem with this idea is it’s ignoring the fact that what a group can entirely want more or less than another, therefore what someone wants isn’t a good metric only what someone can have. Equating women not getting what they want to men not getting what they want is like saying it’s the same for a person to not eat because they only accept a Michelin star dish vs not being able to eat because someone has no money and is starving.

That quite literally would be preferred over the alternative, but at the same time if the guy cares about sex at all than it isn’t going to be an option, This is akin to saying to someone who wants consistent meals to “just don’t eat, that’s consistent” entirely defeating the purpose of the complaint in the first place.

“What he knows” is certainly an interesting claim, are you trying to make the case for charisma in some way? Otherwise I’m not so sure what you mean. If so it wouldn’t be what he knows but an inherent trait. And in the end it will still all pale in comparison to how it is for women where the floor for being desirable is just being one in the first place.
/r/PurplePillDebate05/02/26 06:30 AM

All of this advice your talking about boils down to: don’t date someone too far above your desirability because they won’t value you like you will for them. Which is obviously true. As for the second paragraph, this is exactly the same advice that is given to men extremely commonly, so unless you are arguing that it only applies to men then this is just how people are painted.
/r/PurplePillDebate05/02/26 05:58 AM

High standards for desirability doesn’t mean that that guy can’t be relatively “bad” in one individual trait, for instance if a guy was desirable in nearly every way except he doesn’t do anything for Valentine’s Day than the woman’s standards would still very likely be high, same goes for all the other trait’s mentioned. It’s also directly relative to men’s standards.
/r/PurplePillDebate05/02/26 05:50 AM

If a man is inherently undesirable he will remain inherently undesirable, the is no other outcome. What you are referring to is men who are not particularly desirable then can become desirable but that is entirely different. Thinking any sort of way about anything at all if you are impossible to be desirable is a non factor.
/r/PurplePillDebate05/02/26 05:46 AM

Maybe so, but in the situation you described a woman couldn’t then have the complaints that are outlined here because that guy wouldn’t be eliciting them. That’s the point I was making that if a woman has those complaints it’s because they are direct results of attempting to date too far up.
/r/PurplePillDebate05/02/26 05:42 AM

He is still going to be desirable in any case, it’s still going to be a desirable provider, especially considering being a provider is a desirable trait in the first place. So if she were to still have the same complaints than it’s the same situation that that provider is to desirable or a provider at all is too desirable for her.

Women don’t go on dates with guys who aren’t desirable. In other words women’s accounts of men not being forced to drive the conversation or jump too quickly to sexual topics are simply the direct results of women trying to date too far up, receiving reception that’s essentially a woman’s form of rejection like how their equivalent man is entirely excluded.

Asking this is like saying “what are born rich millionaires supposed to do if they squander all of their money and are broke by 25?”. Men don’t ever get a period of inherent, automatic desirability like women do, and even then let’s not act like women don’t still have access to men for all things relationships in a greater degree after they are old than most men ever will.
/r/PurplePillDebate03/02/26 08:45 PM

Most men will never have the options required to ever date or partner with someone they especially like the company of, that requires having a lot more choices then what most men will ever be able to have. So this fact along with men having to be the driving force behind relationships in general would only make sense why men would have a harder time telling if any individual women liked them to whatever degree.
/r/PurplePillDebate03/02/26 08:39 PM

My answer would be “any individual trait” because while whatever that individual trait is may matter quite a lot you still have to have everything else, women have high standards for all traits not just a few.

This is just how desirability works, if a guy is undesirable (as in literal definition, unable to be desired) then there will be no partner or experiences for him and no mater how individual people want to believe others are there will always remain men who are definitionally undesirable and collectively so.

It would depend on who broke it off, but in general since women objectively decline in desirability more than men it could only stand to reason later partners would be less liked if taken as a snapshot in time.

Unfortunately the facts are that it only takes a minority of men reproducing in excess to keep us going, so you could say it’s the opposite, men are too good at reproducing too the degree that through supply and demand it becomes valued so little. As for social factors, men’s priority in reproduction is to ensure it happens while women’s is to exclude men first then select for the best, and in a more connected world like we have there is more men to see and therefore more men to exclude.

What I’m saying is that desirability determines your equivalence in relationships, as in however desirable a person is, less or more, determines what their equivalence is. So if someone was good or nice but otherwise low in desirability their deserved equivalence in a partner wouldn’t necessarily be good or nice they could entirely be “bad”.
/r/PurplePillDebate28/01/26 09:02 AM

It very much is relevant, because it’s not “good” or “bad” that determines what someone deserves in relationships but desirability.

When regarding groups “standards” is in relation to what exists, in other words if your claiming that the average guy is so far bellow women’s bar that in and of itself meant women’s standards are high as again, whether you like it or not, it’s in relation to what’s out there. In other words men CANNOT both have low standards to live up to AND be widely bellow women’s “bar”.

Desirability determines how “good” or “bad” your options are. Men at the lowest level of desirability are excluded from partnering while women at the lowest level of desirability are never excluded but they are not going to be desirable enough to have what they specifically desire.

What I’m saying here is that both being a monolith isn’t a requirement for having vastly similar attraction. Like I said there are quite a lot of men of equivalent desirability absolutely willing to partner with no sex. This is quite literally lack of accountability for women, how can anyone expect to be desired in the way they want, by the person they want if their only desirable trait is being a woman. Keeping in mind she still has options for equivalent men who are willing to partner even no …

You don’t have to exclusively be a monolith in order to still have mostly similar traits, especially in regard to possible attraction. If someone try’s to focus on someone they will never encounter its the same thing as giving up on partnering entirely.

That’s the point, if otherwise undesirable no amount of being nice can make a difference as it’s only one positive trait vs all other negative traits.

Women are never excluded, unless exclusively by the men who they want.

The difference here is that most men have the genuine desire to partner (not exclusively with their preference) just simply the desire to partner, something women don’t really have, meaning even when partnered with those they don’t particularly like, it’s still genuine desire.

People assume that because of the fact that less women on any given time are on a dating app that it’s just an entirely different group of women with entirely different preferences on there, when the reality is that most people both men and women have been on them before with only slight difference between men and women, Not only that but it still exposes you to more women than you will ever meet in person.
/r/PurplePillDebate20/01/26 08:57 PM

The reason you are seeing more men is just simply because there are far more men disadvantaged or entirely excluded from all forms of romance than women are, it doesn’t make a difference if the space could be off putting to women because if he finds himself there than it’s because he’s already been excluded in the first place.

There base to be equivalence in desirability, equivalence in this context means someone of equal desirability, which obviously exists it would be impossible for it not to. “There is no such thing as deserving” is certainly an interesting position to hold, the world would probably look a lot different if nobody was ever held accountable to anything.

The only thing you’ve done so far is say people don’t always end up with their equivalent, which was always part of my point that people don’t always get what they deserve, and “but they don’t want to/ peoples preferences.” Which also has nothing to do with equivalence or what someone deserves.
/r/PurplePillDebate16/01/26 08:27 PM

The men we are talking about here are exclusively desirable, the men who are unfortunately undesirable enough to have dating problems don’t get to talk to women or get likes on dating apps much less match.

Well we are already talking about exclusively desirable men, so you could say exclusively desirable men’s dating problems are self inflicted and that might be mostly true.

Like I said people don’t always get what they deserve in reality.

There are far fewer asexuals especially further narrow to those who also want relationships, we are talking less than half a percentage. Of course most men aren’t not the hunchback, but it doesn’t take being the hunchback to be excluded by women, including hideously undesirable women.

/r/PurplePillDebate12/01/26 11:09 PM

Again, you are confusing choosing not to have sex with being desirable enough to, and if your trying to argue men should just try to partner with asexuals then that’s nonsensical as we are talking about a tiny portion of a tiny portion of options, less than a fraction of a percentage. Do you realize men statistically take more showers than women?
/r/PurplePillDebate12/01/26 10:56 PM

Men who can’t have sex also can’t have relationships, a guy has to be desirable for both to be possible whether that’s emotionally or physically, desirability is a prerequisite for both and not every guy is going to be able to possibly improve one or both of those things.

“Sex crazed” isn’t the right term, it would just be “being able to ever partner in any way at all” it isn’t merely sex women treat as a reward to men but any form of relationship, and I certainly wouldn’t call it sex crazed to want to be able to experience a form of romantic relationship, the difference here is women never have to do anything to qualify where as men have to be exceptional enough to be rewarded with qualification.

I think you missed the point, it isn’t about themselves believing they have higher standards than their desirability but judgment from others.

It’s because of the way women’s goal biologically in partnering it to filter in utmost, so if women were to ever suggest that another should improve that would hold the implication that she isn’t on the same level as what she’s filtering for and therefore going against all women’s collective goal of filtering and excluding men in utmost.

To a degree that could also be the case, but objectification is ultimately still the result of having a trait that is desired and it’s very apparent that men have much lower standards for finding traits desirable.
/r/PurplePillDebate08/01/26 08:37 PM

Women objectify men for their looks in the same way the only difference women’s standards for such are so much higher and narrower that you don’t see it happen as much, objectification of a person is inherently a product of desirability so the reality is that women just objectify men for more than women do, women just have a lower bar for any trait they can be objectified for.

I don’t think many people dispute this but the issue comes when “the man the woman wants” is “the man women want” especially to the degree it is now that is so much lower than what standard deviation allows. Mass appeal is the goal because narrowing your desirability down to the few is not effective when dealing with a group with such low variance in attraction, you can try but unless already exceptional you won’t ever even be likely to come in any form of contact with a woman like that.

The most telling thing about this is how it shows women’s active desire to try and collectively exclude men and prevent them from being able to partner, it isn’t enough for women to just exclude them individually they feel the need to prevent them from partnering entirely and collectively.
/r/PurplePillDebate05/01/26 07:28 AM

The problem with this idea is that the reason women have been able to do so is because men have always accepted wider gender roles for women, so it was never anything different men had to do while the other way around has always been more restrictive for men because women have a much more narrow and restrictive view on what they can see as “men”.

This applies to women just as much here, an average person deserves to be treated averagely and that includes by their partner.
/r/PurplePillDebate01/01/26 09:35 PM

This is because if men held out the same way you did they’d never be able to partner, women waiting for their perfect partner can only be born from the fact that all women have an abundance of options, an abundance almost no men have, so instead in order to stand a chance men have to partner with those they find “decent” or “average” while also pretending he thinks she’s perfect.

Unfortunately everyone needs external things to be fulfilled, especially those who believe they don’t. But for what we are talking about here you can even find biological evidence for this as being around women, especially in a romantic sense, actively increase testosterone production in men, I wouldn’t go so far as to say the reason men are lower in testosterone now is because women abandoned more men but it’s certainly an interesting thought.

This was from data a couple years ago. The reason we have more men isolating is because they don’t have any hope in the first place, so the obvious outcome is going to be depression and giving up.

Eventually once the standards required to live up to become too high the only thing you can do about it is give up or complain. I don’t think the average person can be whole at all if never given the chance to partner, that is inherent to fulfillment at the lowest level.

You can see that everywhere, from what women actively say they require to who they end up with, for instance every inch a guy is shorter than 6’ his chance of partnering drops by 10% (5% for 5’10 and 5’11) and that’s just one physical trait, pile on requirements for the rest including emotional traits and even if a guys lucky enough to possibly qualify a lot will still be discouraged and see no hope. Combine all that with women only ever having to live up to ANY standards if she’s trying to date…

All this to essentially just say you aren’t attracted to men, or that there are so few that you rarely see them. Yeah we know women are rarely attracted to a small portion of men this is nothing new, it’s not because they are trying to appeal to women in the wrong way it’s because they cannot appeal to women. And talks of not appealing to a “female gaze” is just simply subterfuge in order to absolve oneself of their inability to feel possible attraction for anyone near average.
/r/PurplePillDebate28/12/25 11:06 PM

The problem here is that the men not considered haven’t increased their standards they’ve lowered them, even women at the very bottom of desirability still admit to men being attracted to them but still having standards too high, now I don’t doubt that the already desirable men have higher standards as they have even more options as the only men considered.

The problem here is that because women’s attraction has the goal to filter, if a guy is even needing advice in the first place then to women he’s not supposed to be able to partner at all and they’d unconsciously want to ensure he’s alone. And society is obviously going to coincide with this meaning of course he isn’t going to get any helpful advice.
/r/PurplePillDebate28/12/25 08:19 PM

For the men who are able to have options that may be true, but we also have more men now who aren’t able to have any options and their standards have only lowered. It’s just that since they are unacceptable to women their non existent standards are not considered, instead only factoring desirable men who are the only men women can even consider “men”.

That’s the whole point, there is only 2 possible large scale situations: women choose who they partner with resulting in men being excluded and rightfully upset about it or women not choosing and men not being excluded with women being rightfully upset about it.

Not just because of access to that but also because women’s attraction exists to exclude men, even in the case where a woman must exclude herself to ensure men are left out, making being single partially fulfilling compared to men.

What you are missing is that said men are not mad that women are not “failing to live up to a preconceived purpose” but that they are denied the option of partnering, something that is near universally prioritized within humans, by women.

Women’s standards can’t be lower, at least here, if you hear this complaint from women but don’t from men. And if you think women’s expectations are low in terms of how interesting someone is then consider that men’s is just so much lower and encompassing that they need not have any of the things women require to be considered not “boring”.

Because dating as a man is not like what you describe here in the slightest, unless maybe the man is at the top of possible desirability, it’s simply closer to a job interview or a test because that’s how women treat it whether they realize it or not, And this is true regardless of friendship status beforehand. Another point is most men will never have the option for someone they especially like the company of, women specifically ensure they never get enough options for that.

Most men don’t require their partners to be exceptionally entertaining or charismatic like women do, not only that but being “boring” can entirely be a positive to men.

Women can never be in a situation where they are excluded entirely against their will, so when they imagine someone not being able to date or have options they think of the closest thing they can experience/ what they think is no options which is someone exclusively trying to date up or missing their chance.

The problem here is that “moderately attractive to them” is how the vast majority of men who are able to partner do so, men don’t have the options to hope for anything better, so someone “moderately attractive to them” and willing would be an unattainable fantasy, even someone not attractive to them and willing would be rare enough that it would be akin to finding a “soul mate” for someone who isn’t forced to be desperate.
/r/PurplePillDebate16/12/25 06:44 PM

Women’s thoughts on men is always limited to their collective attention to men, that’s why when they try to say “undesirable men treat women badly too” they don’t realize that that wasn’t an undesirable guy it was still a desirable guy who just didn’t have his desirability focused on looks but was no less inherently desirable to women. Essentially women generalize men so much because their attraction to men is so similar to one and other, especially including women that believe otherwise.

/r/PurplePillDebate10/12/25 09:30 PM

I mean it’s obviously both attraction and interest (anyone is going to be more romantic for those they feel more romantically attracted to) and at the same time it’s also influenced by relationship stage because men are required to be romantic for a possible relationship in the first place whether it’s genuine or not.
/r/PurplePillDebate10/12/25 05:32 AM

Because it benefits women to have a controlling monopoly on partnering, the way women’s attraction works isn’t just date as far up as possible but to specifically exclude the men towards the bottom from partnering with any woman at all.

That’s why I said specifically not all aspects of attraction are subjective, you even go on here to mention facial symmetry an objective aspect of attraction.

/r/PurplePillDebate08/12/25 10:54 PM

The problem here is that women’s attraction in itself includes not partnering as a goal under the conditions that she cannot date far enough up, meaning a guy struggling doesn’t equate to a woman struggling because she’s already met her goal of excluding those struggling men. Highest priority for women is to exclude men, then to partner upwards.

Men are not as selective as women are because their first biological priority is to ensure the human race continues, while women’s is to try to shape how it continues. Men as a group will never leave any women out no matter how undesirable, and have many times more variance in attraction that’s why it’s immeasurably easier for women.
/r/PurplePillDebate08/12/25 09:17 PM

Women’s attraction in itself works in a way that is meant to continually filter and refine what they are collectively attracted to, to the point where in the situation where that becomes impossible (whether due to that attraction getting too high to ever meet a guy desirable enough or too high for that man to partner that low) their attraction then exists to stop them from partnering at all as opposed to men’s.

The average man would be happy to have them only very above average men think otherwise but since those are the men that these women were exclusively open to it’s perceived as average men to them.

As I said you don’t need physical attractiveness in excess to qualify but you would need to make up for it if there was the absence. But you do require charisma for women to feel emotional attraction. Women are the cause of it but not necessarily at fault willingly, but this does still warrant a level of blame. Can’t be a “victim complex” on the case where it’s done to you, whether knowingly or not.
/r/PurplePillDebate28/11/25 08:38 PM

/r/PurplePillDebate28/11/25 08:21 PM

Because all it takes is lack of physical desirability and not enough inherent charisma to make up for it or the reverse and you’ll be excluded from attraction, combined with the fact that women in comparison regardless of their choices always have the option to partner long term regardless of their desirability, which IS the comparison. All this to say that men need not make “bad” choices to be excluded by all women collectively.

The problem with this is that you can’t even know you want something if it isn’t something you can ever experience, in other words it can only ever be speculation that men are wanting hookups more than relationships.

I believe women are more interested, at least in the idea of monogamy, but the reason that it’s currently flipped the other way currently is that women’s attraction has refined to such a degree that the men who women can collectively feel attracted to are far fewer, and since desirability trumps all for both men and women, it results in that showing less for women since they are no longer capable of attraction to enough men to go around.

The only problem is that this still requires being exceptional otherwise it will never go anywhere or even be able to keep contact with a woman, because it isn’t just instant attraction that most men can’t have but simply attraction itself.

The only problem is that it isn’t helping men in the end, if it were actively hurting women and forcing them to be alone at anywhere near the rates men are then it would be good but that isn’t the case.

It’s a combination of women simply wanting to be liked for a part of themselves that isn’t as likable, yet no less them, and only being open to men who are exclusively more desirable, because the fact of the matter is that if a guy could be walking away at all is because he has other/better options, meaning it’s someone who’s unexceptional exclusively wanting to be liked by the exceptional and in the exact way they want it.

I wouldn’t agree that following them meant they were actively perusing a relationship with them. And even if it did it wouldn’t be the maintenance that they liked but simply that they were more attractive regardless of that maintenance.

As in the individual “valuing” themselves? I don’t believe any “value” and individual puts on themselves to be real it must inherently be put on by others.

That’s the whole point if an individual is average and finds the average “sexually uninspiring” then that’s exactly standards being too high.

Value is something objectively given by others valuing you so any individual man would not hold any value at least socially, especially not in comparison to women who, since men place great value on, are so, even most of women’s complaints and issues come from that value.

We aren’t talking about models or supermodels we are talking about men and women. I never specified that looks had to be the only point of attraction. Average would not appropriately be “sexually uninspiring” but “averagely sexually inspiring” at least to be in line and not have standards being too high. In other words in the case someone does find the average to be “sexually uninspiring” while they are average that is objectively too high a standard.

The problem is individual attraction should specifically not be relevant, for instance for standards to be in line an average man should be averagely attractive to the average woman, anything higher or lower would be “too high” or “too low”.

Of course, the only difference is that it’s a real and it can be a destined outcome compared to women who can only get that outcome by specifically choosing it.

Yeah, it wouldn’t be called an exception if it wasn’t.
/r/PurplePillDebate05/11/25 09:17 PM

And again it is not a positive thing if it includes just as much negative as it has to. Men being more varied ≠ men being superior.
/r/PurplePillDebate04/11/25 06:32 PM
1

Again it’s still in fact a neutral thing since they are also inferior more of the time.
/r/PurplePillDebate03/11/25 06:03 PM

That doesn’t in fact make it entirely positive on men as they are just as more likely to fall behind in the same ways, making it neutral at best.
/r/PurplePillDebate02/11/25 07:44 PM

Yeah, being exceptional is being exceptional.

In most cases there was always a choice and even considering arranged marriages usually both had less of a “choice”. If you think I’m arguing for men being superior you have a flawed understanding, being more varied is not a good thing exclusively it just results in some being better but overall I’d say it’s actually worse to be more varied.

Again by what we’ve previously talked about as defining manipulation it includes all but an infinitesimally small amount of people dating, meaning the same criticism you hold for what trad men want would logically have to apply to the other 99.9% of people dating or looking to.

You came up with the idea that I suggested “unenforced quota is more powerful than generations of entrenched privilege.”, When the conclusion is that even when women are advantaged it doesn’t change the rate that of men being over represented in the exceptional.
/r/PurplePillDebate01/11/25 10:04 PM

So dating is manipulative then. You can’t logically think this while specifically taking issue here.
/r/PurplePillDebate01/11/25 07:56 PM

You came up with this not me.
/r/PurplePillDebate01/11/25 07:55 PM

By our previous definition of manipulation anything portraying yourself in a way you don’t think or are is manipulative and that includes everyone, excluding maybe a tiny handful.
/r/PurplePillDebate31/10/25 10:38 PM

By that same argument anyone wanting to find anyone to date are manipulating all the same.
/r/PurplePillDebate31/10/25 10:06 PM

No, not necessarily, a few things here one being that someone being exceptional doesn’t mean another would want to submit to them, another is that plenty of women actually did, and then exceptional still includes exceptionally bad as well.
/r/PurplePillDebate31/10/25 09:59 PM

No need for them to be set in stone for them not to be entirely influential and disproportionately advantageous.
/r/PurplePillDebate31/10/25 09:54 PM

Well you are saying things like “manipulation is a tool for the weak” yet simultaneously acknowledging that manipulation has to be inherent in everyone, meaning you don’t actually have an issue with anything here unless you have an issue with EVERYTHING as it pertains to human interaction in general.
/r/PurplePillDebate31/10/25 09:53 PM

Not assuming but knowing as these positions and opportunities are specifically there for women regular.
/r/PurplePillDebate30/10/25 10:13 PM

Since your manipulation has already been decided as something everyone does it’s like saying we are breathing right now or we are seeing light, so if manipulation is the “tool of the weak” than everyone is weak and it means nothing.

No, if men were simply de-centered you wouldn’t see women having higher likelihoods of being accepted into colleges and being hired (even specifically in high positions) specifically for being women as well.
/r/PurplePillDebate30/10/25 08:26 AM

I’m not sure what you’re trying to refer to, like I said what I’m talking about is neutral, not negative or positive towards women or men.
/r/PurplePillDebate30/10/25 07:57 AM

This is simply disconnected from reality, there is and for a while has been a push in the workplace, education and just socially to prioritize women and specifically more so than men.
/r/PurplePillDebate30/10/25 07:54 AM

No I was referring to men stealing those ideas from men. Remember the very act of stealing the credit is exceptional.
/r/PurplePillDebate30/10/25 05:29 AM

Very few if any, because that would require both a women being exceptional enough in a negative way to do so and being exceptional enough to be in a similar enough field to do so, in other words this takes another few layers of exceptions compared to the reverse, making it exponentially less likely.
/r/PurplePillDebate30/10/25 04:52 AM

This is just simply untrue in fact currently in nearly all western countries women have more access and opportunity for nearly all facets (aside from maybe obviously physical strength demanding jobs for obvious reasons) this is especially true for education.

It’s unpopular because anything that can be perceived as negative towards women in any way, even though this is neutral, is generally not accepted simply for that fact.
/r/PurplePillDebate30/10/25 04:41 AM

Men are still currently more varied, totally disproving this. Unless you are arguing that women are currently “not allowed out of the kitchen”.
/r/PurplePillDebate30/10/25 02:38 AM

Then what’s the point in mentioning it, you might as well clarify that we are humans. Something doesn’t necessarily have to be beneficial to the individual in order to be important and honorable, for instance if you said having children wasn’t beneficial to the individual that doesn’t make it any less beneficial or important to the rest of humanity. The average man doesn’t even have the agency to be going through and picking only trad role women anyway. So unless we are talking about women tryin…

All this means is that everyone is a manipulator to some degree, and sure I’d agree with the logic there but it means that the word manipulation shouldn’t have such a negative connotation. And I feel like I should clarify that I don’t mean that’s what men have to do to get sex but what they need to do to participate in partnering in any way, long term relationships and marriage absolutely included.
