| 1 | Only wanting women who give you instant sexual gratification is being picky too.A 20 pound weight and a 200 pound weight both have mass, but they will be unbalanced on a normal scale | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/04/26 06:11 PM |
| – | Men should be taught that they are most likely going to be aloone if they don't improveMost people are illogical regardless of sex or gender. There also isn't a logically correct level of libido. You're not mentally superior for having a smaller appetite. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/04/26 06:58 PM |

| 1 | The battle of the sexes in dating is mostly an online thing.And when you look at the stats, men are more likely to be the ones pursuing women. That's a sign that men are more interested in women which means that they need to do the pursuing, not that dating hasn't become an increasingly online activity. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/02/26 07:42 PM |

| 10 | Men can also desire a small percentage of the population. They just pretend it’s the average woman.Gee, why is it that women are less likely to seek out partners both on apps and in person? Could there perhaps be a difference in how much one demographic is attracted to the other overall? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/01/26 06:37 AM |
| 1 | I've heard people say that men's lack of success on dating apps doesn't occur in real life.

| 8 | Men say they just want a normal, decent partner and resent women for wanting ‘perfect’; Women are terrified of being chosen merely for being decent and acceptableThat is a lot. I don't mean this in a judgemental way, it's just frustrating seeing 100 dates being portrayed as a normal thing when some of us take months to get a single date. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 31/12/25 08:12 AM |
| 10 | Men say they just want a normal, decent partner and resent women for wanting ‘perfect’; Women are terrified of being chosen merely for being decent and acceptable100 dates by 22 is insanely high, and you only think it's normal because your circumstances allow dates to come to you easy. The vast majority of people don't get dates with half that many people in a lifetime, let alone by such a young age. Hell, even most people that CAN get dates that easily would probably find a suitable partner before hitting 100. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/12/25 06:31 PM |

| – | Straight men’s dating profiles are increasingly curated for the male gaze"They often dress exactly the same, as if they spend all day staring at each other in hopes of morphing into one homogenous being. Making it almost impossible to pick them out of a group photo" You should see women's profiles. I can assure you, it's exactly as you just described. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/12/25 07:11 PM |

| 0 | What's the logic behind telling men to be more selective on dating apps?Men's taste in women is not as rare/niche as women's taste in men, and if it were then most men would simply stay single forever. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/12/25 10:43 PM |
| 1 | What's the logic behind telling men to be more selective on dating apps?I think you're missing the reason most women are able to have these standards in the first place while most men don't. Most women are attractive while most men aren't, hence why men tend to be the ones pursuing. If men played by the same rules as women, most of us are guaranteed to stay alone for the rest of our lives (which is not a desirable outcome). | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/12/25 12:19 AM |

| 2 | What's the logic behind telling men to be more selective on dating apps?That's why I specified "I can see SOME cases where it might make sense for a woman to be a bit less selective". Obviously women in general tend to have a flood of choices so not only do they get to be picky, but most need to to avoid decision fatigue. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/12/25 12:13 AM |
| 3 | What's the logic behind telling men to be more selective on dating apps?You really seem to struggle with putting yourself in other people's situations. Have you tried basic empathy? Some basic logic, perhaps? Men, for the most part, are not appealing to women. That's why they cast a wide net, to find the few that may be interested. That doesn't mean that men should swipe right on LITERALLY every woman, but it does mean that we're going to swipe right on half or more of accounts. That may sound extreme to you, but men find average women more attractive than women fin… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/12/25 03:05 AM |

| 0 | CMV: Looks matter more for women, social skills matter more for men.And women find most men less physically attractive on average than vice versa, which is why men need to make up for it in other ways.

| 0 | What's the logic behind telling men to be more selective on dating apps?Consider: To send an intro, on must first match. These are few and far between for men, hence why we tend to focus more on advice for getting likes/matches before worrying about what comes next. Obviously men should try to send thoughtful responses, not that noticably helps with standing out in a crowded inbox from my experience. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/12/25 01:53 AM |

| 1 | What's the logic behind telling men to be more selective on dating apps?I think women underestimate how much men are attracted to most women.

| – | What particular thing do you think would make the dating world a lot easier if men understood better?For any place to hang out you imagine, there's plenty of women who don't want to be asked out there. While men should take actions to be less irritating or threatening, a certain level of irritation is inevitable because most women are going to need to turn down several men that they find unattractive. The alternatives are either women asking more men out, or total species collapse. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/11/25 01:11 PM |

| 10 | The advice that “men need to stop showing interest in order to actually attract women” only works for certain top % men. It’s horrible advice and a catch 22 situation.Men don't really have the power to change this one unless we all agree to stop pursuing women, which isn't going to happen because they'd just die alone. Alternatively, women can change the gender role by asking men out more, which they won't do because the few men that women find attractive aren't having trouble finding partners as is. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/10/25 04:39 PM |
| 23 | The advice that “men need to stop showing interest in order to actually attract women” only works for certain top % men.

I'm skinnier than most, but that would still be the case without much effort. I can't put on much weight when I actively try to. For some people it's the opposite.

| 2 | I think that MGTOW and 4B types are deluding themselves when they say people are dating less because they realized the evils of the other gender.I think both are a defense mechanism from bad experiences with the opposite sex. I don't think it's a logical response to swear off men or women because you had a bad experience with one or two. Granted, if it's a very bad experience that affects your livelihood or safety then it's understandable why one would adopt that defense mechanism. It just doesn't follow that 4 billion people ain't worth shit because one or two people hurt you. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/10/25 03:45 AM |
| 1 | I think that MGTOW and 4B types are deluding themselves when they say people are dating less because they realized the evils of the other gender.Men and women have been given different, often competing motives by society and nature since the dawn of time.

| 3 | I think that MGTOW and 4B types are deluding themselves when they say people are dating less because they realized the evils of the other gender.It's not that people in wealthy counties are poorer than non-wealthy countries, but rather that it's taking longer for younger generations to move out, which makes sex and dating far more difficult. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/10/25 03:33 AM |
| 3 | I think that MGTOW and 4B types are deluding themselves when they say people are dating less because they realized the evils of the other gender.I think this puts the cart before the horse with the animosity. I think men and women have largely become more hostile to each other online because they don't interact as much, platonically or romantically, in person. If you can't have a healthy relationship with those you're attracted to, you can at least engage in hostilities with them.

| – | If you want to date women as an average man, you have no choice but to approachHas been quite hard in my experience. A match that actually replies is a very rare occurrence. Too stressful for building chemistry, even if they did respond. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/09/25 12:26 AM |
| – | If you want to date women as an average man, you have no choice but to approachYou need to be attractive enough not to get insta-left swiped and good enough at advertising to get a right swipe. Options for showing off personality/charisma are far more limited than in person, even after getting a response. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/09/25 10:05 PM |

| 1 | Women gaslight men who date younger due to intrasexual competition.I mean sure, 41 is a bigger number than 29. I just don't see what's of concern beyond that. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/09/25 03:57 AM |
| 1 | Women gaslight men who date younger due to intrasexual competition.idk maybe it's that I'm under 29 so I don't see them as little kids that need to be protected. It just seems like a weird hangup on your part. The way you say "20-somethings" you'd think he's snooping around college parties. 29 seems pretty adult. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/09/25 03:35 AM |
| 2 | Women gaslight men who date younger due to intrasexual competition.Bruh, age gap discussions online have lost the plot. Like, oh no, how dare he pray on a 29 year old baby. Where is the part that's pathetic? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/09/25 02:36 AM |
| 5 | Almost every man is capable of being a top 10% manNot all investing is gambling, but putting your money into whatever coin you think will make you a millionaire certainly is | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/09/25 12:41 AM |
| 3 | Almost every man is capable of being a top 10% manOh yeah, I forgot gambling | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/09/25 12:22 AM |
| 4 | Almost every man is capable of being a top 10% manI mean sure, if all the wealth were magically transferred from women to men then that would help men's dating prospects, ethical problems aside. Seems about as realistic as getting individually rich without generational wealth and/or family connections. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/09/25 12:00 AM |
| – | Most incels are left wingI know right? I read the title and was like "wouldn't be completely surprising, I thought there was already some study that bore this out" then I read the post and was like "bro what is this thought experiment bs, you can argue any point like this". | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/09/25 11:53 PM |
| – | Most incels are left wingCircular reasoning. You're assuming that we live in a just world where good men find partners and bad men don't, then working from that conclusion you try to explain voting records. I don't think the average man that can't find a date is a straight version of Nick Fuentes, I'm certainly not. Would be nice if women were more selective about politics, but I think it comes down to which group of men is less worried about bothering women by asking them out in public. There's that, and wealthier peop… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/09/25 11:46 PM |
| 36 | Almost every man is capable of being a top 10% manThat aint how percentages work. If everyone's super, no one is. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/09/25 09:35 PM |

| – | You have no excuses for dating failures if you aren’t putting in 100%Well I've seen video of redpill ones where you pay some guy to yell at you until you become an alpha male. Seems like it would be more effective and less expensive to just get a personal trainer or schedule your own visits to the gym. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/09/25 03:26 PM |
| – | You have no excuses for dating failures if you aren’t putting in 100%Ah, the classic "if nothing works then it must be because you didn't try". While effort is necessary for success (for most men), it's no guarantee. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/09/25 03:20 PM |
| 0 | Why do I rarely find men to desire to be stay at home fathers for the purpose of raising their children?Not settling in this respect would mean finding a woman who is willing to settle for someone that makes less than her or not working. It's not impossible, but far from likely. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/08/25 07:09 PM |
| 42 | Women's dating profiles suck just as much as guys do, the difference is guys are just less picky about women.Don't need to put in effort to get matches when you can rely on both men being less picky AND more men being on the app. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/08/25 10:05 PM |
| 2 | Regulating dating apps will improve male mental healthWhile I don't want to be harsh to people that mean well, putting warning labels on dating apps or getting more men into therapy isn't going to fix the issue that women will always be in higher demand than men online. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/08/25 03:16 AM |
| 2 | Regulating dating apps will improve male mental healthHave you considered that perhaps people complain about apps while still using them because they're a last resort? If it were so easy to find people in person, most people would just do that. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/08/25 12:53 AM |
| 2 | Regulating dating apps will improve male mental healthNo regulation or tweaks to the apps will fix the fact that men want women more than women want men. No really getting beyond that supply and demand issue. Some of us are just going to remain unwanted. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/08/25 12:51 AM |
| 1 | Why do some women say its the guy’s fault for being single?"Hundreds and hundreds of dates" okay congrats, I can't get that far. Whatever shit you're stuck on, I'm stuck several steps behind. Most men don't have the benefit of potential partners throwing themselves at them, respectful intentions or otherwise. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/08/25 04:51 PM |
| 10 | The new Tea app kinda proves hypergamyA bastion of hope that if you're unattractive and manage to score a date, women will gossip about you with other women in your area. Inspiring. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/07/25 06:01 PM |
| 3 | Why do some women say its the guy’s fault for being single?It's literally just how dating apps work. People overextend it because they're frustrated, but you'd be frustrated too if you were unable to date. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/07/25 05:58 PM |
| 3 | How Men Could Become Lustless and Emotionally Free from Women, Without Losing Their DriveLust is just a normal reaction to seeing someone attractive. What's important is only acting on lust with your partner (if you're exclusive) and not sharing your lustful thoughts towards others with your partner if you think they'd be made uncomfortable knowing. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/07/25 08:56 PM |
| – | Women are primarily the choosersIf roles were switched, there would be a lot of guys who just weren't chosen. So basically what we have now | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/07/25 09:48 PM |
| 1 | Explain so many involuntarily single men at a roughly 50/50 gender ratioI didn't say that red pillers haven't caused any problems, but if they never existed then we'd still need to deal with the consequences of dating apps and social atomization. Andrew Tate types are a problem, but they're also symptoms of preexisting problems. Yes the natural consequences of capitalism are problems and they even directly influence the things talked about on this sub. That doesn't contradict anything I've said. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/07/25 08:14 PM |
| -2 | Explain so many involuntarily single men at a roughly 50/50 gender ratioI think you're putting the cart before the horse. While red pill grifters aren't helping anything other than their wallets, they capitalized on a dating market that was already being damaged by online dating and social atomization. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/07/25 07:36 PM |
| 1 | How hard do you think it actually is to date as a heterosexual man.Maybe not a difference in type but a pretty severe difference in proportion. I'm in significantly better shape than most people, and decently photogenic, have good friend and family relationships but I only get right swipes from 4% of women, most of which aren't interested enough to reply back. For average men and below, the numbers get worse. I already swipe right on a majority of women. The difference here is that I would need to lower my standards to an absurd degree to get a date per month, … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/07/25 10:54 PM |
| 2 | How hard do you think it actually is to date as a heterosexual man.I know I'm valuable in ways beyond external validation, but the emptiness persists whenever I think about wanting to date regardless. If you don't get it then fine, just stop commenting. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/07/25 02:02 AM |
| 1 | How hard do you think it actually is to date as a heterosexual man.I think there is a significant difference between a 50/50 shot of finding a member of the opposite sex attractive vs less than a 10% chance. I'm not saying women should be forced to find more men attractive, but let's not be delusional and say it's easy for most men to attract women. Also really, 100% of women? Even the red flags and braindead conservatives? Be real. If I said women should swipe right on 100% of men, you'd rightfully take issue with it. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/07/25 01:59 AM |
| 0 | How hard do you think it actually is to date as a heterosexual man.I can't exactly turn off my desire to be desired. This is a normal human thing that's apparently easier to recognize when it's not being met. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/07/25 10:55 PM |
| 1 | How hard do you think it actually is to date as a heterosexual man.Pretty massive number distance. I've got a dead end IRL so I'm stuck with dating apps, where I swipe right on over 50% of women while only 4% swipe right, and barely any of those respond. It's not me ignoring women that's the issue. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/07/25 10:52 PM |
| 6 | How hard do you think it actually is to date as a heterosexual man.Easy to say when you don't need to worry about feeling desirable. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/07/25 05:14 PM |
| 9 | How hard do you think it actually is to date as a heterosexual man.It think what prevents that from happening is that there's a difference in the average man or woman checking out of dating. When women do it, it's typically because they have the option to date but they assume it's better for their safety and happiness. When men do it, it's because they're assuming that they're unwanted and viewed as more of a detriment by most women, so why even try? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/07/25 05:12 PM |
| 1 | Overall. Getting women as a man is entirely too much work.If there's anything actionable that I can change, I'll consider it. I can only beat myself up so much over a no-win scenario. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/07/25 02:39 AM |
| 1 | Overall. Getting women as a man is entirely too much work.Seems to work about as well as trying. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/07/25 02:35 AM |
| 1 | Overall. Getting women as a man is entirely too much work.People always say this as if everyone is going to bump into a single woman their age that's interested if they have good friends. No, I'm at a dead end and don't know what to do. "Perhaps work on your social skill" is nonspecific garbage meant to make me feel like I'm not trying because I'm not succeeding. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/07/25 02:32 AM |
| 0 | Overall. Getting women as a man is entirely too much work.Flawed analogy. Most of these have a direct correlation between effort put in and chances of success. Dating is just gambling, unless you're unusually attractive and socially competent. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/07/25 01:04 AM |
| 2 | Men are discouraged from approaching women they don’t know as well as discouraged from asking out women they do know.They want men they're attracted to to approach. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/07/25 01:00 AM |
| 1 | Can’t believe this has to be said: yes, in order to date you need a social outletNo shit Sherlock, oh, let me just go to that social circle full of single women my age that I didn't think to use as an asset before. Whoopdy fucking doo. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/07/25 12:38 AM |
| 6 | If the roles were reversed and women were held to the same dating standards as men they would be just as hateful and bitterHaving seen what some women say about their partners online, it seems like they're pretty bad at selecting for competence. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/06/25 06:06 PM |
| 2 | The average man cannot set healthy boundaries or feel at ease and comfortable in a relationship because he’s so replaceable she’ll just walk awayEasy to say when you have the option to start dating on short notice if you wanted to. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/06/25 10:34 PM |
| 11 | I feel like dating apps are brought up a little bit too much in these discussions. Are they really that popular?Easy if you're a woman or attractive man with a good photographer, sure. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/06/25 12:33 AM |
| 8 | Do you think men who can’t attract women are losers?Romantic partners, while being both friend and family, are also a fundamentally different dynamic and it is not weird or wrong to be upset if you're unable to attain such a dynamic. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/06/25 03:10 PM |
| 21 | Apparently, men are more likely to hit on women they think are easy and not necessarily because they think they're attractiveNot just that they're turned on, but a woman dressed provocatively may be more receptive to advances as it's possible they dressed that way for that purpose. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/06/25 09:24 PM |
| 0 | Dating men are NOT better people than VirginsIt's "men should become better people if they want a date" one post and then complaining about the shitty people they've dated the next. No awareness. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/06/25 03:09 PM |
| – | You don’t love the hoes and you don’t feel sexyI look in the mirror and feel sexy. I try online dating and feel unwanted. I try finding somewhere to date IRL and feel lost. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/06/25 10:11 PM |
| – | Red pillers don't understand the "female gaze" at allWhat am I supposed to get from this? Don't go bald? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/06/25 09:22 PM |
| 4 | CMV: Tinder's new filters will help men in online datingThe only thing this will help men under 6ft with is get filtered out faster. What a joke. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/05/25 02:23 PM |
| 9 | Women advise men to be confident, but also get annoyed if a guy has the audacity to think he has a chance with themTrue, although people tend to get frustrated when given advice that doesn't work. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/05/25 02:18 PM |
