So this psychologist doesn’t think evo psych is a legitimate science simply because morphology hasn’t evolved much in ~2000 years? That’s a ridiculously poor argument given how brief that is compared to the millions of years humans spent evolving since our last divergence with our living common ancestors. Extremely silly take, complete misunderstanding of evolutionary history. It’s also silly to propose that because a genderless society exists somewhere that there are no gender differences psych…

Evo-psych is largely seen as pseudoscience No it isn’t, not any more than regular evolutionary biology. Most evo psych research isn’t unfalsifiable in the way you’re suggesting it is either. Evolutionary researchers (all of them, not just the psychologists) have to propose experiments that would demonstrate support for a given hypothesis. So for example, if your hypothesis is that a peacock’s tail evolved as a way to attract mates, you’d test that by seeing what happens to mating success when yo…

Men do have less impulse control though, and a lot of women have the maturity and independence level of a teenager. I don’t think it applies to all women or even most necessarily, but why do you think the meme about women not being able to choose where to eat exists? That’s just one example but ask any dude who’s been married long enough how decisive their wives are. Without some direction a lot of women are barely functional. I’ve got tons of anecdotal examples of this from tons of women who yo…

It’s alright, it was just a very surreal couple of days. The only thing I can think of that caused it is that she had already decided to break up with me before that, so my grandmas death probably interfered with her plans to get it out of the way, and seeing me cry probably disgusted her. Even if she hadn’t broken up with me our relationship didn’t really have legs, I was growing to resent her as well in the months leading up to it. Oh well.

My grandma’s death. My grandma had sleep apnea and refused to wear her sleep apparatus, it was only really a matter of time but we were close and I took it very poorly. My family wanted me to do her eulogy, and I accepted. I wasn’t able to not cry for the entire thing. The night after, my girlfriend started asking me all kinds of questions about our relationship but not in the kind way, it was almost an interrogation for some reason. I didn’t really want to get into it, I wanted to go to sleep b…

Luxury and wealth can be at an all time high and things can still be headed towards disaster.

Examine their relationships, in all kinds of ways, then compare them to ours statistically. They win in almost every metric that has influence on societal cohesion. Primarily that metric is none other than the amount of sex had and by whom.

Its not deterministic, it’s probabilistic. It’s the best chance we’ve got at surviving as a species. Look how quickly things are deteriorating. We are not adapted to the environment we’re creating and it’s happening too quickly for us to adapt. We need to slow the roll a bit, and if it’s not clear I’m not just talking about the evolving dating market, but that’s one of the foundations that society needs to function well at all costs.

No you can’t, the number one complaint from women trying to date these days, even the above average ones, is that the men they’re dating aren’t willing to commit, and it’s because those men are all seeing 5+ women at once. The marriage rate is in free fall and showing no signs of stopping.

Because people tend to only get what they deserve, men and women alike. In scientific terms, humans have adopted assortative mating because it confers the highest fitness advantage at the community level. It results in an average reduction in offspring fitness but confers a significant advantage over the harem model in cooperation and stability. Ie. average men in a harem-based society would rather see it burn to the ground than fight or provide for it. Since it’s become the dominant method of m…

I didn’t think I’d have to clarify that I meant ‘able-bodied’ men and not literally any man with a pulse. For women the equivalent would be not defending her children as the hierarchy of defence goes men > women > children.

There is a massive difference between thinking your partner is super attractive and being with them only for that. Sounds like you just settled and you need to justify it to yourself.

Why? I don’t think their lives would improve if they got divorced, it would probably get a lot worse before it would maybe get any better. For the most part they think it’s how marriage is supposed to be. Happy wife happy life.

I think so. 27 year old making six figures in biotech, 5’11, muscular, intelligent, charming, etc. My only issue with dating right now is that it’s hard to find women that actually make my life any better in a way that doesn’t have anything to do with sex. I suppose having another income would be great but I don’t really need it and that seems like a pretty bad reason to want to date or marry someone.

That’s not anywhere close to normal. I tended to overestimate what was normal as well. I think for your age closer to 10 is the norm, and even that seems to be a big overestimate according to some sources.

That's actually a good question, I don't know the answer. I would assume that most people see lies or lies of omission negatively as well. Generally omission or refusing to answer a question can be taken as a sign of guilt, but that's not specific to sexuality. Realistically most people don't judge character by asking directly anyway, behaviour in general works as a decent indicator. Interesting thought though, and it's probably why women tend to lie about their past, as a counter to anti-promis…

Very weird comment. Still avoiding the obvious. you don’t realize that most people don’t care about someone's past That's just not true. It's a pretty well-known fact that men prefer less promiscuous women for their long-term relationships, and maybe more surprisingly women prefer less promiscuous women for their friendships. The real question is only why that is. All I'm suggesting is that it's pretty likely it has to do with paternity. And oh look, here's an interesting paper which shows evide…

You're not discussing science in the context of evolution, you're doing everything you can to ignore it. The fact that most men avoid promiscuous women in the context of LTRs even though genetic tests are now possible only reinforces the idea that it has some evolutionary basis making it intrinsic, because if it were social or cultural you would see that preference disappear much faster. Or it's just that by the time you need a test it's already too late, so why take on extra risk? Either way, m…

Past behaviour is the best predictor of future behaviour. I think implicitly, because it does seem implicit, it's because of the threat of paternity fraud. Men don't have the luxury of knowing that their children are actually theirs, so throughout our evolutionary history promiscuity avoidance was probably the best proxy we had. Over time it likely became intrinsic psychologically to be disgusted by promiscuous women, or at least to not want to put too much stock in them or have them raise 'your…

If you say so, I know plenty. Relatively speaking anyway. You’d be shocked what women tell you when they think they’re safe from judgement. Way to completely miss the point as well, I said to the other user it’s an extreme example. I’m still not marrying a promiscuous woman whether she’s been gangbanged or not.
/r/PurplePillDebate24/02/22 05:44 PM

Not really, no. I’ve dated a lot of women though, and those are some extreme examples but they elucidate my point. Are you saying you don’t know any women who’ve had threesomes or gangbangs?

Sex on a first date is fine if you intend to date and you’ve both communicated that with each other. When a woman is willing to sleep with me on a first date just because I’m hot and in spite of no indication I want anything else to do with her then yes that’s a red flag. If I’ve communicated to her that I like her and would love to keep dating then it’s not an issue. One is promiscuity, the other is mutually agreed upon connection. Substantial difference.

Probably not. The lower 3% of women are the really grotesque looking ones that have that fat pouch that extends into the pants almost to the knees. The real big bitches with the 50 lb FUPAs. That’s the bottom 3% of women. The only ones hitting them up are doing it for a fetish.

I wouldn’t concern yourself with what celebrities are doing. The normal ‘rules’ don’t really apply. Your average mentally ill beanpole isn’t getting with rich MILFs, he’s jerking off 3 times daily and playing video games nonstop in between.
/r/PurplePillDebate17/02/22 08:11 PM

I think what that tends to do to your mindset surrounding dating is the only issue, and I mean for you not them. I used to plan several dates with different women every week and I think all it ended up doing was making me see them as a number rather than a person and it was taking away from my ability to get to know each of them and see if there was actually anything else there. If there was any tiny little thing that I didn’t like so much my mind immediately jumped to the next one in line. And …
/r/PurplePillDebate17/02/22 04:57 PM

I’m sorry to say but if you need to do all that to look presentable or get make attention then you aren’t of average attractiveness. Having a hair and makeup routine so that men can tell that you’re actually female isn’t the active participation in dating that you think it is.
/r/PurplePillDebate17/02/22 04:22 AM

Average looking women and above don’t have to actively look for a partner. Life just happens to them.

All of my friends who are married or who are in LTRs likely leading to marriage seem happy but they give a lot without getting a lot in return. True to the “happy wife happy life” cliché. It’s working for them for now, but they’re all under 30. We’ll see where things go once they’re a couple decades deep I suppose. I’m not even opposed to marriage or LTRs, I just want to make sure that when I do it I’m not setting myself up to watch my life and relationship slowly degrade until there’s little le…

This is a very odd take on the history of the manosphere. Quite frankly none of what you believe is true. Red pillers and incels are not fans of each other. Incels see women as their enemy because they’re below most women. Most red pillers see women as conquests because they see themselves as better than most women. They have extremely little to do with each other and any overlap is probably pretty minimal.

Hypergamy is the one railed against most. I personally don't take issue with it but whatever. Neither of these is contingent on her having a vagina. It can be, if for example the reason she starts fucking her accountant is because you just lost your job. Women are far more likely to abandon a marriage if her husband faces a substantial downgrade in status. On the flip side of the coin men are more likely to abandon their marriage if their partner gets seriously ill, likely due to a loss of physi…

Not a single behavior unifies women. That's too broad a requirement for any schema. The reality is that there are certain behaviours, attitudes, dispositions, whatever you want to call them, that the majority and sometimes a vast majority of women exhibit. I'm talking about things that make women incredibly fun and pleasant to be around as well by the way, not just anything 'bad'. Regardless, that's not the point of AWALT.

I see what you mean. AWALT has gone a bit far with the newer members. Years ago it was only supposed to be an heuristic, not something to take literally. Ironically the sub was a lot better before it got quarantined. In old school RP the way AWALT relates to mate guarding for example is to expressly condemn mate guarding, and then if you get cheated on anyway AWALT is simply the reason not to be upset about it. When you know what you’re potentially in for it can’t hurt you as much.

That’s not a red pill tenet I’ve ever heard of. Men in the anger phase treat women like shit, men who graduate from that treat women like women. To be fair there are a lot of guys stuck in the anger phase.

If men collectively raised their standards humanity would grind to a screeching halt. It’s a valid argument, it’s the reason men are so easily hurt by women, but at the same time it’s tough to blame men for latching onto the first sign of warmth when it’s so rare for most of them.

A stripper with trust issues. Never heard that one before. To answer the question, no I’ve never cheated.

Having recently started SSRIs I can say easily that there are tradeoffs. I previously had a high libido, it’s much lower now. I prefer the high libido to the low libido, but as you mentioned it’s kind of nice not worrying so much about sex. I feel more in control in a sense. But I’m not in a relationship either. In a relationship I believe high libido is much better. Sexual intimacy, and lots of it, is key to a healthy relationship.

Men need to pick up the damn slack and just be more masculine again. Masculine men are still treated like kings.

And rightfully so. Why would anyone want to date someone who see them as the enemy? It’s not clear to me how many men get red pilled and then actually take the self-improvement advice seriously and can check the hate at the door, but one thing for certain is that you don’t see them on the sub.

I disagree. Everyone has to have something to offer. You can want to form legitimate relationships with people, care about their wants and needs and what you can offer them, while also care about what they bring to you. There is always, and I do mean always, a hierarchical structure in place. You yourself subscribe to one. If you don’t, I urge you to go out into the streets, find a meth-addled 50 year old hooker, and marry her. If you won’t, then you are guilty of viewing people through the lens…

Evolution is the only thing that explains sexual dimorphism. It literally cannot be anything but evolution.

Having used a cheap as fuck google cardboard setup with headphones I can safely say that yes it seems to. Most of what clues me in that a woman desires me are things like her tone, breathing patterns, and some of the more subtle physical cues (like flushing) that you don’t really pick up on in 2D non-stereo surround porn.

They’ve been married 26 years though, so they don’t know anything else and divorce just isn’t worth it.

Where does she live where the average height and dick size is 6’ and 6”? Scandinavia maybe? In North America those are both like 80th percentile, and you’re compounding them, so 20% of men have one, but only 4% have both. Add income into the mix and you see where this is going. I’m not really mad that the standard exists because I check 2 of 3 boxes at least, but she’s delusional thinking that’s anywhere near average.

I don’t really care, she’s hot no matter who you put her next to. I suppose I might care if she were ugly in comparison, but then I wouldn’t be with her. What does make me happy is how obedient she is in bed and how much she genuinely loves to please me. I don’t think many men are that lucky. I had been around a lot before I met her, how good a woman is in bed is usually not tied to looks. Women who are both super hot and legitimately great in bed are rare.

Where did I say groping isn’t bad? The extent to which it’s bad is determined by the one being groped. Ie. how unwanted is the groping? I’ve been groped and felt disgusting after, and I’ve also been groped and felt like a king. Generally yes groping is bad, but it’s not objectively bad the way rape is. It’s disingenuous to even compare the two in the same category.

I’ve never met a woman that cared what my n-count actually was. N-count is just a proxy for lifestyle anyway. To get at the heart of the question though, too low of an n-count as a man means you’re probably a loser (or just extremely religious, which can also be a qualifier or disqualifier on its own), whereas too high of an n-count means you’re probably not LTR material, but still worthy of a ONS.

Obviously there are trade offs. They’re forced to follow a dual mating strategy only because it’s extremely rare for individual men to exhibit both traits that make them sexy (indicators of strong genes) and traits that make them good caretakers.

I cannot think of a single scenario where I showed vulnerability in front of a woman and it didn’t come back to bite me in the ass. I guess what I’m getting at then is that male vulnerability is okay, but should be reserved for extremely close male friends, family, or better yet a therapist.

Stereotypically masculine qualities are almost always advantageous, or at the very least not acting in that manner is almost always disadvantageous. There are some exceptions. It’s okay to cry at a funeral for example, but that’s one of the few times where it’s not extremely disadvantageous for a man to be seen crying.

Might be on to something, but I’m not sure if it’s the violence they’re drawn to but rather the danger or the power like you said. It’s like a more extreme version of classic harlequin romance tropes.

Only when the men are in jail. Hybristophilia as a phenomena is not just about sex, it’s about the strange attraction to dangerous people. Men haven’t really exhibited that behaviour and I think it’s a cop out to claim it’s because it’s not likely to get them laid.

No, I’m saying every attempt to study the roots of hybristophilia has not found any link to violence, recorded or otherwise. Their fascination is not with violence, there’s no fixation on that whatsoever, it’s exclusively on the men. So no, it’s not about them glorifying violence or being violent themselves, most women experiencing it are otherwise healthy. It’s one area of abnormal psychology where there are as of yet no other indicators of abnormality.

On a purely biological basis there’s basically no downside to men having as many kids as they possibly can with next to no regard for whether they can support them. That’s why women have evolved to be the choosier sex. Some of those men you’re saying have made dumb decisions with regards to children are mathematically the most evolutionarily fit.

They'll marry up, or not at all. Marrying down isn't an option. And yet that’s what 30% of women are doing by income, up from 9% a decade ago. No, it may be hyperbolic. It’s not just hyperbolic, it’s outright falsifiable given that at least 30% of women that marry these days are not doing it for their spouse’s money. This is the kind of brain dead moronic thinking premised on nothing but distaste for women that gives the entire manosphere a bad rep. I hope you find balance some day.

You can’t have a mate or relationship drive without an accompanying sex drive. Do I really need to cite literature proving women have a sex drive?

Women love sex, but sex is also the means of reproduction, so unfortunately yes there is the added tradeoff that they’re hardwired to seek resources and commitment. Marriage is more about a relative level of security (for both partners theoretically) than it is about money.

Novelty wearing off, aging and decline of sex hormones, children, stress, laziness, decrease in attractiveness, the list goes on and on. It’s not impossible to maintain a good sex life throughout all of that, but it takes a lot of willpower and most people are not up to it.

The cause is the sad inevitability that sex is for the most part a young persons gambit. Age, life, declining sex hormones, whatever you want to blame it on, it all starts to get in the way, and there’s only so much you can do to treat it. Ultimately it’s not a bad thing, and while I look forward to having kids and growing old with my family it’s also natural to not look forward to declining libido.

That’s what the delusional women of FDS would have you believe. The reality is they’re old broken and jaded women who are using it as a coping strategy to convince themselves they’re still worth something in the sexual marketplace.

Like it or not that’s exactly how it is though, people have limited time and attention to give out. There are actually some interesting mother-child co-evolution theories about it.

For me it’s tended to manifest in deep insecurities and anxious attachment styles. If you start worrying about why they’re not texting you back, doubting their actions or feelings are genuine, placing too much stock in their mood, etc etc, there’s a good chance you’ve pedestalized them and should take a step back and remember who you are and why they’re dating you in the first place.

I’ve been on both sides of this. How long is ‘months’? If it’s literally just a couple months, probably nothing to worry about. Break ups suck and feelings of love tend to linger. Love is literally an addiction to a person, and a break up causes withdrawal symptoms.

The citations show that women actively seek out higher status mates while men do not, and will strictly rule out mates when ‘all else is equal’ while men do not. That is hypergamy, yes. Obviously not all women get to marry up, because that would require all men to outearn all women, and people would need to assort themselves appropriately for that to be the case.

You’re being willfully obtuse. I cited over a dozen studies showing that women have an overwhelming preference towards mates of high status, an effect not observed in the men within those studies.

But that’s not what hypergamy is. Hypergamy is not just sleeping with the most suitable and attractive person available, it’s pursuing only those options, even if they’re not even available per se. So for example, there’s a study showing that women report having a much smaller dating pool the more successful and attractive they are themselves. For men, they report having a much larger dating pool the more attractive and successful they are. Men won’t turn down the best thing available, but that’…

If that’s the norm for women, and statistically most violence (even sexual) occurs to men, it would mean that statistically the norm for men is worse. I don’t really see that being the case.

Not really, no. Men are much less particular on average, especially in short term scenarios. We tend not to worry about whether we’re ‘settling’. There is an observable difference between men and women here, it’s been studied widely. I can send you some papers on it if you need.

What does it matter what betas and Karens think? While you’re technically correct, getting called a fuckboy by someone who’s just envious is a complete non-issue. There’s very little social pressure stopping anyone from being promiscuous these days. Generally the pressure to stop comes from the person in question when they decide it’s not the lifestyle for them. Or, if they legitimately enjoy the lifestyle consistently (which I think is rare as people age) then there’s no real pressure to stop.

That’s a pretty common misconception. Across time most RP men do end up seeking out LTRs and marriage. Almost all of the ‘old school’ RP top contributors are married at this point. There comes a time in every RP mans life where he needs to decide whether he wants kids or not. Most decide that yes they do, and will accept that marriage is the necessary end to that. If you only read the sub you’d get the impression every single RP guy is 20 and hates women vehemently. There’s a lot of turnaround.

Scoffing at the idea of hooking up with ugly women in the presence of other men is not the scenario we were discussing in the other thread, if that's what I'm to assume this is about.

I doubt that very much. Men are not as disgusted by less attractive women and have a much easier time politely saying no without making excuses. I think the probable reason for that is we’re not physically vulnerable to retaliation.

I disagree that it only attracts low value women. I exclusively date women that I deem to be pretty high value, and my standards are by no means low. RP principles can work on women of any value, it’s just that most users target low-value women first and foremost with short term strategies. It still works exceptionally better than BP principles in longterm situations with high value women. Short term = become an AF and target sluts Long term = become an AB and target wife material

They’re not a social construct. Reproduction and the rituals associated (monogamy, marriage, whatever) are deeply ingrained biological instincts. Don’t kill yourself man.

I don’t think women encouraging other women to actually be a pleasure to be around instead of a pain in the ass is misaligned with men discouraging weakness in other men, no. On both sides you just have people trying to encourage their members of the same sex to be less of a hassle to their partners. Men dislike naggy women, and women dislike crybabies.

The 80/20 rule has always been explicitly about physical sexual attraction. I don’t think we typically imply otherwise.

Yes they do, at least in longterm partners. Traits like kindness, compassion, gratitude, etc are all ranked pretty highly when it comes to maintaining any LTR.

You would think, but oddly enough tax contributions vs incomes in men vs women are not 1:1. It’s taking responsibility NOT to bringing a unwanted child into the world. Responsibility isn’t just paying for things. It’s not just literally paying for things, but responsibility does always have a cost. If you didn’t have the money for example you could just not have sex. That would be responsible. In this case the cost is being passed onto everyone else but the person who should be fronting it.

Asking for government handouts is not taking responsibility. To take responsibility requires an input or paying a cost of some kind. It doesn’t help men the exact same, the net gain is different.

Typically when a woman becomes a SAHM mom it’s at her discretion. Very rarely do men encourage their wives to drop out of the workforce and take a massive hit to the household income, unless they’re already exceptionally well off. I’m not commenting on what SAHM’s are entitled to, just that it’s very rarely up to the male partner what they choose to do. To think otherwise is to deny women their agency.

Men who are well off to begin with remain well off during divorce. At least where I live, pre-marital assets never enter the divorce discussion except in the case where capital gains were made on the matrimonial home (which to be fair is also bullshit, but at least they’re entitled to half the gain and not half the total).

It’s the same problem with divorce in general, applying population statistics to individuals doesn’t often work out very well. Women do file for divorce more often. Marriages often end in divorce. Why do we so quickly take those stats and assume they’ll happen to us? We would never do that with obesity for example. Statistically I should obese af, but I’m not.

Nah, you shouldn’t get married even if the law were to change. It seems like you see people as men and women and not as individuals. You already have your prospective future wife pegged as an immature potential gold digger who can’t take responsibility for her actions. You should stay far away from the institution of marriage until you can actually see a woman as an equal, because that’s basically the entire premise, and it’s why so many can’t deal with the prospect of divorce.

Lol I hate to break it to you but no they don’t. What makes sex with a partner better is purely psychological. And no, those forms of contraception do not detract from pleasure, because it’s derived from neural signalling in the context of sex, during which no matter what our dumb lizard brains are wired to see as successful reproduction.

It’s also because a ton of men are not upfront when they do not want a relationship.

Women don’t seek relationships with betas, they will settle for one if they have to though. Sure though, they definitely are more promiscuous on average than they were 5 decades ago, but that’s also because men have begun enabling it. Every person who participates in it is responsible. In my experience most women still prefer to be in a relationship, no matter how high their n-count.

You’re not likely to ever have an intensely intimate experience that you will literally never forget with a one night stand.

It’s a complex behaviour, it’s not going to be explained by a single factor and there’s definitely something biological going on.

The potential for it is there but you have to invest a lot more along the way. It’s kind of a last resort scenario. That’s probably why nobody in their 20s or even 30s generally wants to date single moms, but once you get into your 40s it seems like a lot less of a trade off.

The sperm bank example falls a bit flat when you consider that psychological motivations are not purely mechanical, they’re based on long developed neural networks. Even though using a sperm bank should in theory sate the biological drive to reproduce, it just doesn’t, because the natural behaviour that tends towards reproduction is sex.

Yes, but then you need to account for the differential rating patterns. Men rank women on a bell curve, so those that are ranked very unattractive are in reality very unattractive.

I think we do have different definitions of nature, for me it’s exclusively derived from data at the population level. I don’t think it could be done any other way, because the terms ‘male’ and ‘female’ refer specifically to discrete populations. That’s just the statistician in me though.

Women tend not to make the first move to begin with.

It does, it’s like a dynamic equilibrium. Men are getting more redpilled as a reaction to changing sexual norms, and as a result the sexual norms are beginning to shift back. As that happens you can expect to see less RP concepts in the mainstream. It’s kinda cool to watch it happen.

It is not weak and meaningless. They give you the advice and tools you need, they’re not going to hold your fucking hand through it. If sex is all you want then a therapist isn’t what you need anyway, the therapist is there to steer you away from unhealthy mindsets that might be holding you back, but they’re not going to be able to teach you pick up. That is, in fact, not their fucking job.

Most chemical imbalances can be corrected short term by medication, but should be corrected longterm by lifestyle modification. Serotonin first example. SSRIs are great, and they work, but so does actually going out and accomplishing a goal that means something to you. In the longterm that’s what you want, and that’s what a good therapist guides you towards.

There are traditional men out there who respect a woman wanting to wait, that’s their target. Now, it’s best if that actually aligns with her principles and she’s not just doing it out of some arbitrary rule though, which unfortunately I believe is what most of FDS is. From what I’ve seen, it’s not women actually reflecting and internalizing, it’s just manipulation, not unlike some of the more shady red pill tactics.

TRP is a toolbox. It’s not inherently misogynistic. Most of the core theory can be traced back to some studies or some data. Usually evo psych, but often times just general population states, like divorce rates, etc. Some of the conclusions that the users there (anger phase ones) make based on that data definitely are misogynistic.

No they don’t. Women treat nice men like 2 day old feces when that’s the only thing they have going for them.

There’s no evidence that it’s related to insecurity, it’s a female universal that exists cross-culturally. Even in tribal cultures where feminism just does not even exist, women prefer taller men.

I’m talking about population level differences that set the rule.

Obviously shorter men can get laid, they can be strong and courageous too, but at the population level it’s just a fact that taller men are stronger on average, which results in a slight overall preference for taller men.

‘Sexy sons’ as far as I know is part of the larger ‘Dual mating strategy’ hypothesis, which does exist in red pill theory as AF/BB, but is based on evo psych literature.

Depends on the context. Polygamy is generally used to describe multiple spouses, but if we’re just talking about a biological phenomenon where individuals have multiple sexual partners they’re interchangeable terms. If a woman has 3 regular sex partners, that is still polygamy, they don’t necessarily need to be married. You can get even more specific and call it polyandry if you want, still polygamy though.

I mean, they’re existing, but they’re not exactly topping the charts on anything, and if for any reason anyone wanted their land they could basically just take it. It’s not a lifestyle that’s scaleable to an entire civilization. And sure, individual poly people are fine, but across a population if levels of polyamory get too high it destabilizes society.

It’s not true in absolutes, in the sense that any individuals enjoying polyamory whatsoever is bad for society. It does have a destabilizing affect across populations though. To that extent, open encouragement of polyamory from a societal perspective can only ever be harmful.

AWALT is a schema that you carry to use in hindsight if you get burned, a heuristic, it’s not a rule to abide by 24/7. RP theory is not opposed to LTRs either, though many RP men definitely are.

Body fat level isn’t really the genetic constraint, it’s more the amount of muscle you can maintain on your frame before it’s impractical to either carry that much muscle or eat a consistent enough diet to not gain fat. It has to be very fine tuned.

Every single man I can think of is perfectly capable of being “alpha” if they put their mind to it, because they have the genes for it but aren’t expressing it due to plasticity.

Women will always be more sexually attracted to alpha men, because that’s quite literally how alpha is defined in red pill terminology. Alpha traits are those that arouse women sexually, while beta traits are those that satisfy their cravings for security/comfort and resources.

There’s a reason they called gunpowder ‘they great equalizer’. You have to remember that for almost the entirety of human existence we existed in small tribal groups fighting over women and resources with sticks and stones, and there was definitely a selective advantage to be bigger if you were a man. I don’t know much about Japanese history or samurais, but I would be willing to bet that your average samurai was taller and stronger than your average Japanese peasant.

Chances are the reason height is trending up is because of nutrition. We’re not as limited as we used to be on average, so we’re realizing our ‘full’ height potential via plasticity, whereas before it just wasn’t metabolically possible, even though the genes ultimately won’t have changed much in that time.

These days, the many thousands of years of men seeing women who are much smaller than men has led to men preferring this in women. Are you suggesting it’s cultural? Because that doesn’t seem likely, it’s a cross-cultural universal, meaning it would have had to develop independently everywhere. Generally the way preference works is that sexual selection pre-selects for a set of advantageous traits and genes, and over time a positive feedback loop is developed until equilibrium is reached against …

That’s more associated with hip width than height, although yes it be an antagonistic selection pressure. It’s a good point though, and it explains why men like women with wide hips, the curvy type in the true meaning of the word, not the ‘curvy’ that’s been adopted by fat people.

They just wouldn’t make the best hunters or fighters, so fewer men would rely on them and fewer women would choose to mate with them. In other words, pretty much the same dynamic as we see now.
/r/PurplePillDebate17/06/20 09:41 PM

Yes, that would be one factor at play, but it leads to selection in terms of hip width rather than height as that would be a better predictor for that. And that is also why men like curvy women with high hip to waist ratio.

Potentially. Nutrition is also a factor and that’s why since the dawn of agriculture human height has been trending up. There’s likely to remain a gap though as there’s still psychological pre-selection at work by now, which doesn’t seem to be going anywhere.

Like I said, it’s a trade-off, you have multiple selection pressures interacting at once. Male heritability in height tends to be more heritable for boys and biased slightly towards the father’s side. While it’s correct that having a tall mom and a tall dad is likely to produce an even taller child, having a tall dad and average height mom, still typically results in a tall child, about the height of the father. The benefits of having a tall mother, for children’s sake, must be outweighed by the…

However, women contribute to half of those genes as well, so why is it that men aren't attracted to tall women as much as women are attracted to tall men? Differential selection pressures during our evolution. Biological adaptations have trade-offs. When you maximize one area of fitness it’s at a detriment to another area of fitness. Tall men tend to be stronger and make better hunters and protectors, but they also consume more to sustain it. Men don’t choose women for their potential to be hunt…

Men who are attractive and violent tend to have more sex, but that’s usually because of disagreeableness and assertiveness. I don’t believe it’s the case that violence will get dudes laid if they’re not already getting it, except maybe in weird hybristophilia-type circumstances. It’s pre-selection.

Yeah that’s about right, but that’s usually because of physical attractiveness, not facial attractiveness.

That would depend on what happened to women’s wages alongside the male increase.

I don’t think literature is a particularly good example. Just because most great literature was primarily written by men, with male leads, does not make it ‘about men’. I can’t think of a single paper or novel where that would’ve qualified as a convincing argument. Do you really think because Hamlet was a man that’s going to sway students’ success enough to eclipse the epidemic of literally sedating boys in their most crucial developmental years?

It’s not that men can only learn from men, it’s just that they learn better from men when their female peers aren’t being favoured, and when they’re not penalized for being energetic young boys and put on medication for it. If you can’t do well when something isn’t absolutely 100% catered to you, well, I just think you are kind of too fragile for this world. It doesn’t have to be 100% catered towards men. 50% would probably be enough.

Men are probably achieving less academically because the current system is pretty gynocentric. Most teachers in the formative years are women and favour their female students. Boys are being over-medicated at pretty ridiculous rates. There are a lot of things in the current social climate contributing to it. So while I agree that men are underperforming compared to the past, I don't think it's about laziness, it has become a cultural issue and if we don't solve it we're headed for trouble.

Right, so female breadwinners are still a minority. What do you think happens if that 60% of male breadwinners just stopped working all at once. You think we're coming out the other side of that disaster unscathed? Just so ya know, I wasn't implying we ONLY need male breadwinners, just that providing for a family is a large source of purpose for a lot of men (same as it is for women), and it's that purpose (in both sexes) which keeps society afloat. It will continue to trend upwards as men embra…

At an individual level, sure. At a societal level though, enough men choose not to be providers (which just means to be productive as a means to support a family) then the whole thing tanks. So yeah individual freedom is good, but we still need the underlying architecture holding society together to stay intact, and the family unit is pretty much the keystone of that.

Now try the same thought experiment for men. Most men in the past worked to be providers because they had to, not because they had the choice. In fact if you apply your first statement to most of the choices people make 'voluntarily' you start to see we have very limited freedom in general, but I digress. Most people are not upper class, and will never have true freedom. We used to have to work together to that end, and we were more or less satisfied with that. More than we seem to be now anyway…

I disagree. Sexlessness is a big source of anxiety and depression in men, one of the more significant ones. It's quite literally critical to our mental health, the literature is pretty clear on that.

It’s not about any uprising, it’s about them venting their frustrations in sometimes violent ways. You’re correct that most of these men aren’t like that, but it only takes a few to create national tragedies, doesn’t it?

What do you mean? Saying that a bad thing is happening 39% of the time means that the other 61%, the majority, is favourable.

The title does not indicate it’s a majority. The title says 39% and the word majority is nowhere to be found. And yes, it’s not cut and dry, but it’s a major factor. I think the finding is that about 25% of children to raised in single parent households will develop serious negative outcomes compared to about 10% for married couples. For boys the likelihood that they’ll eventually be incarcerated is about double even after controlling for socioeconomic status. For girls with absentee fathers abo…

I don’t think OP was arguing that it’s a majority, but rather that 30% is a terrifying figure. Most children that grow up in a single parent household are more prone to crime anti-social behaviour and mental illness. 30% is a lot of kids that are potentially being fucked up.

I don’t think men being as shitty as they are now was status quo at all. Maybe it’s just the internet, where we can see these things in the open, but I don’t believe for a second that men are not getting worse with the rise of incel and MGTOW culture, and I blame feminism for that. Not the feminism that freed women from their biology or got them equal rights, the feminism that suppresses masculinity.

You’re welcome to disagree but pretty much every piece of psychological data we have would show that’s wrong. Feminism attempts to make ‘better men’ via the feminization of men through negative reinforcement. We know that negative reinforcement is the worse kind of conditioning and we know that women, and society, do not particularly care for feminized men. You have to realize that the reason we have incels is because feminism worked on those men, and they get angry when they see they’ve been tr…

I never said that women don’t work, just that it’s designed to be a transfer of resources from men to women, which is still correct. Women require more resources than men, which is fine, but it’s why data shows women are a net drain on taxes while men provide the surplus. I’m not complaining about it. It’s generally a man’s lot to provide those resources the same way it’s a woman’s lot to have children and do most of the caretaking. The fact that women and children would starve without men kind …

It’s both. I do agree that before women’s emancipation that a lot of women were essentially forced into marriage with shitty men. No argument. However it’s also not the case that women, given the choice, will opt to never marry if they actually find good men. My argument is that good men are getting more and more rare because feminism is antagonistic to that end.

If they want to be successful it's mostly the same formula but in a generally more submissive frame. For me the one additional caveat is to not have a high n-count.

Hard disagree. Perceived strength, height, and leanness (in that order in fact) is universally attractive to women, to the point where in certain studies of hundreds of women not a single one rated 'weaker' looking men as more attractive.

Men are less aggressive in monogamous societies. The anthropological/sociological explanation for the institution of monogamy is that it's a tool to keep a majority of men satisfied and stabilize society. In societies that are too polygynous only very very few men get laid and the rest eventually revolt or just let the whole thing burn to the ground of it's own accord. This is what MGTOW and incel culture is.

Because men are less psychplogically inclined towards being caregivers and would typically rather be a breadwinner. Women are more inclined to be caregivers and seek out breadwinners.

The female cycle is still very estrus-like, we just engage in sex outside of it as well, but the two are not mutually exclusive. The reason for that is partly to aid in securing resources during the non-fertile period because people are K-type reproducers (each offspring is of high importance). The primary assumption is then still that all sex could lead to pregnancy, and in our evolutionary environment the men wouldve assumed as much.

They can, but not a better friend than most men would in my personal experience, and I only have time for so many friends so it's better to optimize. women are useful not only for babies. For society, sure. For my personal life, outside of providing comfort and nurturing, which is a facet of being motherly anyway, I generally disagree.

Investing in a slut is just generally a net negative. If she has children you never really even know if theyre yours (from an evolutionary perspective, obviously DNA is a thing). Good men on the other hand make great friends and building each other up is synergistic, you both eventually get more out than you put it.

Fear is maybe the wrong word. Averse is probably better. Lots of flies carry disease and are just generally assholes. Depending on how avocados taste to you it could be because you associate it with toxic compounds (toxic foods tend to be bitter).

To be disgusted by someone is to be repulsed by the idea of physical contact That's an odd and extremely narrow way to define disgust. In this case, let's say what would disgust me is the idea of having to ration my time and resources to a slut because I was unfortunate enough to get her pregnant. In the evolutionary past, without big daddy government interfering, that wasn't an issue. You could just fuck sluts and let them deal with it, hence why we enjoy easy sex with sluts but not commitment.…

Women's lives are harder now than they were 70 years ago, don't fool yourself. Most women end up wanting a relationship, a husband, children, etc, same as they did 70 years ago. The caveat is now they want all of that and are pretty much forced to build a career as well. Women are free to do as they please, it's great, but as long as they want relationships, which will be always, then they'll need to compromise on their careers to do it.

I honestly thought you were mostly joking anyway. Red pill agression is different than incel agression. Red pill agression is more indirect, non-violent, and less chaotic. It's the same kind of agression that leads to men giving ultra-firm handshakes. Agression needs to manifest somehow though, and it's weak men that manifest it through violence.

You should at least make an effort to argue in good faith. To answer your question, I don't think many truly believed looks never mattered, we just underestimated how much it did matter compared to being kind for example. I was always taught men were the shallower sex, so learning that women had much higher physical standards was also a bit of a shock, yes.

Women didn't make feminism happen, the powers that be did, the user above explained the motivations already.

It's good to a point. Hypergamy (combined with polygyny, you don't get one without the other) will select out the best male genes over a long period of time, but it also destabilizes society because it makes the lower tier men more aggressive. We know this anthropologically, that monogamous societies are more stable. What we're seeing now with MGTOW and incel culture is the beginning of this destabilization, and given how fast it's happening we should be very concerned about it.

Ever since the sexual revolution, absolutely. Women made their bed, now don't want to lie in it. And fair enough, but what's the other solution? Men arent going to go back to waiting for marriage unless women 'woman up' and make themselves obvious marriage material without the use of their vaginas.

Promiscuity is only one part of that. Men who want to settle down, if which there are plenty, see promiscuous women and want no part of it. Women who want to settle down think acting promiscuous is what's going to get them there. The game was rigged from the top down.

The rest of my comment was the elaboration. If a woman doesn't sleep with a guy because of an arbitrary rule then the whole thing is just a deception.

I think this is the better answer. I've actually had it go both ways, where things were escalating and women have told me 'I don't have sex until the nth date' and 'I'm not ready yet', and the non-arbitrary rule is always better because it's genuine. When you get the impression that a woman is imposing an arbitrary rule, it's hard to believe that she actually always follows it because it's arbitrary and not principled, so it makes the whole encounter deceptive.

It’s common for men to stare at women’s tits; why don’t women stare at men’s arms or something? Uh, they do? All the damn time. What do men have that’s natural to attract women? Muscles are worked for. No, muscles are natural too. It's just that our environment leads us to sedentary lifestyles and trash diets. Women are attracted to men that look how a man should look, it's just that very few men fit that bill these days. If I were more conspiratorial I would say it's by design.

The red pill does not tell men not to marry, most red pilled men just decide that's the best outcome using the information they're given, and even then it usually only lasts during the anger phase.

This is the exact wrong question, and it's why OP is mistaken. Physical attractiveness has been found to be about 50% face and 50% body.

The genetic data I'm referencing has to do with Y-chromosome diversity and mitochondrial DNA. Up until about 10-20k years ago the Y-chromosome was heavily bottlenecked, significantly few men were reproducing but most women were. The answer in conjunction with the sperm displacement theory is then shared harems. The top few men shared all the women.

It'd be adaptive for anything within 24-48 hours. The paper also cites some rudimentary modern stats. About 25% of women admit to infidelity, and 1/8 admit to having more than one partner within 24 hours. These are modern numbers, there's nothing that would suggest to me that women actually had fewer partners pre-civilization.

Sperm competition through volume is the mechanism in our ape relatives. Chimp testicles are about 3 times the size. Our mechanism seems to displacement rather than sheer volume. It's theorized it's why the human penis is much longer, for deposition closer to the cervix, and why the glans has a coronal ridge, to act like a 'scoop' to get rid of all the other funk during the act.

I would agree that socially enforced monogamy has to work both ways. Women have to pair up with men of similar value and those men have to want that as well.

Best explanation in the thread if you ask me, probably why nobody has chimed in to argue with you.

Dual mating strategy. Women tend to take more risks early on in their most fertile years and have kids with men of high genetic quality (tall, fit, etc), then later on take advantage of men without other options for resources.

They have to adhere to the exit procedure that would not be in place without that contract (and I'm not saying it's a good or a bad thing, just that factually the fact they are married means they can only exit the contract through a divorce which is a legally regulated process) Even worse then. There's an inherent risk to the exit procedure which is not made up by the front-loaded incentives of the contract. That is everyones personal business and not a role of an institution to ensure.

However there is absolute no reason to be with someone for utilitarian reasons The reason used to be children, and to an extent it still is. Women tend to not want children unless they feel secure, and marriage solved that problem. Now that the incentive structure has been destroyed there are a lot more single moms out there. Funny how that works. It is all as real as any other experience we have and it isnt "to induce reproduction", there is no purpose behind it. It survived as an experience be…

You've never heard of a cut before? When I'm not bulking I'm perpetually slow-cutting, it's like 9 months of the year and I love it. Bulking is way more uncomfortable. Also low maintenance= ungroomed for woman. You'll love getting constantly asked if your tired because you didn't slap on foundation. And lots of men have to shave daily for work.

The idea is that given neither person can leave you both have to make the best of it, which means you have a far greater chance of actually uncovering what it takes to remain a good couple indefinitely.

Lots of bitter black pill guys use it that way. Realistically it's just an important aspect of human evolution. It leads to more strict mate selection which is good for the gene pool.

Men select mainly for attractiveness because we bare no risk (from a genetic perspective, not a societal one), so we essentially get away with selecting only for good genes.

Column A, column B.

There's no historical context that would suggest people ever stopped sodomizing each other.

You don't see how it's deceptive to act as though a significant part of your sexuality doesn't exist just because your partner is different?

Yes, and the reason men with madonna-whore complexes are reviled by women is because modern women tend to be completely fine admitting that they're more whore than madonna by nature.

I don't think anal and blowjobs have much of anything to do with women's liberation.

Clearly we just define 'needs' differently. For me, if I'm not getting sex within a reasonable time frame then it's not a relationship for me, that's why I call it a need. Lack of sex in a relationship makes men anxious and depressed and decimates our T levels. It's quite literally a physiological drain for a man to be with someone and not have sex, the science is clear on that. It's not enough to only feel emotional comfort for men. overglorifies his hedonistic tendencies. Wanting sex is not he…

Well, no wonder you're bitter. And the guy friends I do have dont put sex as their highest priority. When did I say it was my highest priority? I prioritize connection over sex, if I didn't I wouldn't ever wait period, but I do at some reasonably decided point need the sex too.

This is far from the tone in your previous comment and doesn't strawman as much. I appreciate you dialing it back. It's not a need the same way food and water is a need, but that's not the proper context anyway so you just moved the goalposts. The real question should be "Is it something you need to have a successful relationship with someone? And the answer you get from men (and most women) on that is a resounding yes. Our bodies can't distinguish between protected and unprotected sex. Biologic…

I would say you should seek to minimize the differences in areas that lead to conflict. In other areas the difference has to be maintained for the sake of arousal. So as an example, modern men need to do more cooking and cleaning because modern women with careers have less time to do it themselves even though it's traditionally been delegated to women. If you dont, it becomes a big source of conflict. Other things need to be maintained, women are quickly irritated by overly-feminine men and vice…

And? That's not what self-awareness is, at least it's nowhere near the full scope of it.

I don't truly believe that. If you do that's fine, but then acknowledge that not only are you 'enjoying the decline', you're participating in it and accelerating it. If we're doomed so be it, but I'm not going to participate or sit idly by, not any more at least. I've had my fun and I can't back that kind of hedonistic lifestyle any more, I'd rather say my peace and attempt to cooperate to fix the problem.

Commonly used form of hyperbole, chill out. 3 months is still longer than even most high-quality relationship-oriented guys are willing to wait. You're shooting yourself in the foot if that's your standard, mostly because it sounds arbitrary. You don't vet based on a pre-set timeline, you do it by gauging comfort and intimacy, and it shouldn't take near 3 months to do.

Not all guys that approach a woman want a relationship! Where did I say this? This is the vetting you are referencing, and it takes time. That actually is what I've been saying... with the addendum that nobody is going to wait forever, least of which the men that are actually worth their salt.

Any guy who actually wants a relationship will. Like I said, vet properly and you'll be right more often than not. Not accepting responsibility for your role in that phase of the relationship is akin to men complaining when they buy a woman dinner and get ghosted. It's not a good look. Pay attention to the signs you're being used and it'll happen less often, it's not rocket appliances.

Still better to reach for your own ceiling rather than just lie on the floor and lament that other people have more more than you. I know plenty of autistic dudes that started slamming after getting ripped. Ironically that helps with the autism.

I don't think you're paying enough attention then, or not vetting with enough pressure. Men will chew their own foot off to be with a woman they're enthralled by.

Most men aren't great actors. There's a pretty distinct difference in behaviour between men who are legitimately mesmerised by a woman, and when he's just stringing one along. You won't always guess right, some men are great actors, but most are not. All you can ask it to be right more often than not.

Nice, and yeah I'm pretty sure Tool was referencing that phrase when they wrote Lateralus, great song. Sounds like we mostly agree. It's nice how just applying a little nuance can decide whether debate becomes a hostile argument or a pleasant conversation.

We cooperated more in the past, we just made more compromises to do it, mostly because our technology limited options. That's a seperate point though. We're mostly cooperating now, but non-cooperation is on the rise. That's what inceldom and MGTOW is about right? And it's only getting worse. It might be hard to accept but sex is one of man's top priorities, so if you want a majority of men to be cooperative and not just let society burn to the ground then they need to be getting laid. Simple as …

First off, nice username, is it a Tool reference? To your point, yeah I can agree on that. The extent to which they weren't attracted is debatable. Courtship was still a thing and more attractive women had more attractive suitors. I do agree I think women being less dependent on men has been a huge source of the conflict we're seeing now because women were more inclined to let things slide for providership. And that's fine, I'm not suggesting we return to that, but something's gotta give, we nee…

I'm not talking about slave ownership, I'm talking about mutual cooperation. Do you really think most women before this century were thinking about how oppressed they were while their husbands were working in coal mines? None of what I said has anything to do with any 'pill', men and women have different physiological and psychological priorities, that's just a fact, and I can post the studies for you. I'm trying to tell you there's a healthy middle ground where we take each others wants and nee…

Self awareness is one vital quality that women have to a far far higher degree then men. My fucking sides. Don't get me wrong, the first part of your comment is correct, but I almost spit my coffee out reading this part. There's nothing that would indicate to me that this is the case, if anything my experience is 100% opposite. It's probably confirmation bias on both our parts.

Do you understand that there's a middle ground between being a fucktoy and withholding sex entirely? Can you imagine a scenario where you've got a good guy on the line, who does care about you, but he ultimately leaves because he's not having his sexual needs filled? Men and women are different on this, when men say that sex is a NEED, we really mean it. That doesn't mean that a guy who says he needs sex is incapable of caring about you or that he's just pretending when he says he does, it just …

Those are two really different things for starters. First, men who can't get sex do suffer serious physiological consequences. Most develop depression and anxiety. There are a lot of reasons for that and only some of them are psychological. The point is it's not something to make light of, men are always healthier when they're getting laid regularly, and if you want a healthy society you need healthy men (it's also not the case that healthier men just get laid more, when you control for this the…

Kind of off-topic but your comment about jobs jogged my memory on something. I don't remember exactly who ran the analysis, but if you look at sex inequality and income inequality and calculate their respective gini coefficients (a measure of how disproportionately unequal things are), it turns out the sexual marketplace is far more unequal than the US economy. If anyone would consider the US economy unfair, then the SMP is by an even greater degree. I'm not one who thinks the US economy is all …

It's pretty plausible, take it from me. I was a virgin until 20, rake thin at 130lbs, awful social skills, bad sense of fashion, etc. I turned it all around, every single thing holding me back is gone now. I'm muscular and trim at 170, work in sales so I'm always socializing, dress well, etc etc. Life gets a lot easier when you invest in yourself.

People for the most part do have certain universal tastes, but then within each variable there's a lot of wiggle room. For example, women almost universally are going to find Henry Cavill extremely attractive, but if you ask them why they'll give you a bunch of different reasons.

Usually if they're authentic about it they're going to make you wait longer than 3 dates. Like I said the 3 date number is completely arbitrary and it doesn't do anything to help women not get pumped and dumped. You can bang those out in a week if you want and there's high sexual interest on her part. A woman who's real about not sleeping with a guy until she's comfortable usually takes ~1 month to open that door (with a lot of talk over text between dates too) but of course that varies too. I h…

I also have no problem as long as she's actually doing it out of her own principles and not just some arbitrary rule. Too often I see women try to 'impose' the 3 date rule just to make it seem like they're trying to vet me, when really they're ready to go on date 1 and just don't want to seem like a hoe. Guess how many actually wait until date 3?

It's true, or at least it's what data shows. The more attractive a woman is the more selective she is. Plenty of guys make 6 figures and are plenty mature enough for a relationship. But now imagine how many guys make 6 figures, would be mature enough for a relationship AND are also 6'+ with washboard abs. Extremely few. On the other hand, we know women lie in self-reports all the time, so maybe take it with a grain of salt. I personally haven't noticed a difference, I see absurdly hot women leav…

Most of the things you list are situational at best. You're right that overall it's not all it's cracked up to be, but that's because it's a soulless lifestyle, not because you actually need to do any of the seedy shit you're mentioning. I don't do any hard drugs for example, nor have any the women I've been with (as far as I know). I've also never banged a dude's girlfriend (as far as I know), or been rejected for my reputation. You can keep your moral compass, it just becomes too hedonistic to…

The answer should be fairly obvious. Society is toxic to young men, has been for awhile but it's really ramped up the past ~20 years.

If laziness were just a 1 or a 0 I would agree with you, I would even argue that should be the case,but it's not that black and white. That's not my point, the point I'm making is that the whole 'some women still respect men who work hard' argument is just a trap to get men to agree to indentured servitude for as long as you see fit.

His explanations rely on misinterpretations of data and sometimes he's just outright wrong about it. He's practically a conspiracy theorist on this, using certain points of merit which paint a damning picture except when considered in full context of the literature.
