| 3 | Modern hookup culture makes women jaded and have unrealistic expectations of menSome interesting projection here with "nuh uh" when that boils down your argument (such as it is). There's nothing addressing different mating strategies for males vs. females, short term and long term, etc. >Except, as we saw in your example, it came at enormous cost and the affair occurred when Schwarzenegger was near the peak of his fame, meaning he would have to exert virtually no effort for a model or aspiring actress to sleep with him. Ultimately, biology is about converting resources into… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/08/25 08:01 AM |
| 2 | Modern hookup culture makes women jaded and have unrealistic expectations of menNo, you're mischaracterizing these views as you've apparently failed to read for comprehension. As we've seen, men have a strong preference for sex -- which is why international movie star Arnold Shwarzenegger was willing to bang his hideous looking nanny. There's also a distinction to be made between short-term and long-term mating strategies. For males, the tradeoff for short-term mating is a relatively less attractive partner, but the sex is immediate and comes at a relatively low price point… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/08/25 01:06 AM |
| 3 | Modern hookup culture makes women jaded and have unrealistic expectations of menSaying you can and actually doing it are quite different. It's pretty well-established that females are the choosier sex -- in large part because the consequences of intercourse fall more heavily upon them. Here's a thought experiment. Do you think it's plausible that attractive men generally have more sexual partners than significantly less attractive men? Do you think it's plausible to then intuit that attractive women have more sexual partners than significantly less attractive women? Test yo… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/08/25 07:00 PM |
| 3 | Modern hookup culture makes women jaded and have unrealistic expectations of menWhy do people watch mediocre Adam Sandler movies rather than superior, award-winning films that they will almost certainly rate more favorably? Why do you think men cheat on wives they love, the mother of their kids, with less attractive women? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/08/25 06:35 AM |
| 4 | Are romantic relationships even worth the trouble in the modern age?I remember learning about "femcels" in an article that mentioned incels shun them on the view "there's no such thing as an involuntarily celibate female." My opinion of incels is the same as my view of femcels: Practically anyone can get laid. Will they have an attractive partner? Very unlikely. For males, it will take considerable effort and resources, so it's understandable if people say, "The juice ain't worth the squeeze." I'd like to think we'd develop some kind of technology or social cust… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/09/22 10:41 PM |
| 2 | "Status" is probably the most overblown and ambiguous RP concept for attracting women.Some types of status matter more than others. A simple heuristic is commanding attention. A local club comic who kills will get female attention, but so will the business leader giving a talk on how to own and run daycares. The problem with status is that it's non-scalable. Each person you pass on a status hierarchy displaces someone else. If we just create more hobbies/interests/hierarchies, some will be prized over others. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/09/22 05:38 PM |
| 3 | Age Gap Relationships/Leonardo DiCaprio Mega-Thread, but for the most part the women are appealing not only b/c of looks, but because they are easier to control. Well, in one sense, of course there's a strong element of agreeableness. They can't get married to 19 year-old women who do NOT want to marry them. I'm just mocking the idea that they select women based on the ability to control. Men are generally pursuing women who are attractive, which tends mean young. ETA: This is similar to the fallacy that women want men who are jerks. No, they do… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/09/22 02:58 AM |
| 1 | Age Gap Relationships/Leonardo DiCaprio Mega-ThreadIt's as if a person can choose to infer whatever they want. When researchers studied prostitutes in Washington D.C., they found them unremarkable, but their clients were outside the norm -- more interested in being dominated, spawning the hypothesis that powerful elites need a release. Being dominant all of the time is exhausting. Granted, I have never dated a supermodel. I would not be surprised if, in their job, they were being cast based in part on agreeableness. In the dating world, they enj… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/09/22 02:51 AM |
| 5 | Age Gap Relationships/Leonardo DiCaprio Mega-ThreadIf he's looking for people to control, why pursue super-models? Teen runaways do not have their own job, money, or family to rely upon. Maybe, just maybe, he likes beautiful women. He can "control" them because the top .00001% of men are not on the same level as the top .00001% of women, just as women in the 50th percentile are not on the same level as men in the 50th percentile. Beauty is a lot more common than the level of status and fame DiCaprio enjoys. Stories about him dumping mid-20s girl… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/09/22 11:37 PM |
| 1 | Would things really be "better off" if women were more brutally honest about what they like/find attractive?Just to expand on what others have been saying regarding an "8" and wanting someone about the same... Women who settle into stable long-term relationships tend to do so with men who are slightly less attractive than they are. There's also the fact that, in terms of physical appearance, women do not tend to age as well as men. A woman could be more attractive than her male partner when they're in their early 20s, but less attractive in their mid-40s. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/08/22 07:23 AM |
| 1 | Which gender role is easiest to fill?Females (generally) tend to be more biologically successful, but men report higher levels of happiness and satisfaction. Doing and accomplishing things, particularly difficult things, helps people carve out meaning in their lives. If males are more disposed to a life of purpose, then it would be preferable (in general) to be male rather than female. Or as somebody once put it, "Women have grandchildren; men have biographies." OPer is asking the wrong question. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/08/22 06:29 AM |
| 1 | The "80/20 rule" vs. men's age preferencesPaternal age does increase risk for birth defects, but, as far as I know, this is a relatively recent finding and the effects are small. We know females have a relatively stronger preference for older men than vice-versa, and it's plausible that the disadvantages of older sperm are so small that it would not have much influence in evolutionary terms. You're sort of in the same boat as feminists who argue that sex is about power because rapists wear condoms. Everything has trade-offs. A tall, sym… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/09/21 08:31 PM |
| 3 | Do most women prefer to share their attractive male partner rather than to settle with average or below average partner?It's a silly distinction. A friend of mine was on his high school varsity basketball team. He was a better player than the 7ft. exchange student, but didn't get near the same playing time. He didn't have nearly as much potential; his stats, so to speak, were maxed out. While extroversion will help everyone, being physically attractive has a multiplier effect. You can practice basketball as many hours a week as LeBron James -- more even -- but you'll never play like LeBron James. In the end, he p… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/09/21 11:30 PM |
| 19 | The "80/20 rule" vs. men's age preferencesIgnoring the 80/20 rule stuff, I think a lot of so-called red-pillers in this comment thread are giving short shrift to male age preferences. The main reason we see May-December relationships is because of different fertility windows. Men who are in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond can still slip one past the goalie. It's a lot more difficult for older women to get pregnant (and even still, younger women are capable of having more children). Men will still pursue sex with older women (who can appe… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/09/21 09:58 PM |
| 1 | Gillette takes $8 Billion writedown after marketing fail shaming men for "Toxic Masculinity". We did it boys.The males in this sub consistently come off sounding whiny, weak and delusional. Read the article for the cause of the decline. Gillette's razors have been over-priced for years, so new competitors have moved into the market. That's how capitalism works; in the long-run, economic profits in any industry tend toward zero. | /r/MGTOW | 01/08/19 04:40 AM |
