| 1 | Ideal dating location"But what's the point? Why are Americans so obsessed with trying to gamify the process of getting someone you'll probably only use for sex anyway?" Becoming wealthy is not "gamifying" anything and even in American women prefer partners who have more money. Europe definitely isn't a shithole but it is inarguable that more purchasing power = more dating success. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/07/21 12:28 PM |
| 1 | Ideal dating location"No one in Warsaw, SPB, Moscow etc is going to give two damns that you have a slightly higher salary" Slightly? If you are European you can perform life hacks such as working in Switzerland, retiring in the former Soviet Union and at least tripling the buying power of the money you have previously accumulated while earning five times more than you would have in those places. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/07/21 12:21 PM |
| 7 | Study: Educational assortative mating and the decline of hypergamy in 27 European countries"Trades like welding and plumbing usually pay more than bachelors in engineering most of the time." Can people stop peddling this bullshit? Median income for mechanical engineers in the US is almost twice as high as for those trades. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/07/21 11:21 AM |
| 20 | Study: Educational assortative mating and the decline of hypergamy in 27 European countriesYes, because more women than men have college degrees now. So necessarily women will be more educated than their partners on average. That study is investigating... nothing. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/07/21 11:15 AM |
| 21 | Study: Educational assortative mating and the decline of hypergamy in 27 European countriesEducational hypergamy is not a thing and has never been a thing, only insofar as education correlates with income. And there are study showing that with increasing income equality between men and women women their is no decrease in income based hypergamy, e.g. http://ftp.iza.org/dp12185.pdf. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/07/21 11:07 AM |
| 2 | Ideal dating location"If you're targeting the 55+ demographic then true" More like 30+... Which makes sense if you're also in your thirties y'know. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/07/21 07:03 PM |
| 4 | Ideal dating locationJust look it up, it's true. I'm not sure why, I think in Russia at least it's literally because guys drink themselves to death at a young age. Maybe men are also more likely to move abroad for a job, I don't know. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/07/21 06:49 PM |
| 8 | Ideal dating locationEastern Europe and it's not even close: 1) women outnumber men 2) local purchasing power is low so you can instantly become wealthy just by moving which will dramatically increase your chances | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/07/21 06:39 PM |
| – | Why n count matters in women and the marriage analogyThat argument makes no sense, just because something is easy to obtain for someone doesn't make them "low value" if they actually consume a lot of it, unless it is inherently bad for them in which case it would imply a lack of self control (you could argue that sex can be harmful but it really isn't when done responsibly). Your point about vetting is also moot because women who have casual sex do it because they like to have casual sex not because they are too stupid to find men willing to commi… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/07/21 05:31 PM |
| 7 | Society penalizes men for not having a sexual dichotomyMaybe you don't think about it but both young men and women make fun of their peers who are not having sex. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/07/21 04:45 PM |
| – | I think it’s true- the more successful you are as a woman, the more you expect for men. It’s easier to just stay singleYou work at Amazon I assume? That's probably the first thing you should fix... Working for the shittiest of the top tech companies should not really give anyone a feeling of superiority. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/07/21 09:58 PM |
| – | I think it’s true- the more successful you are as a woman, the more you expect for men. It’s easier to just stay singleAre you agreeing that something is wrong with you? What is going on right now lmao. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/07/21 09:54 PM |
| – | I think it’s true- the more successful you are as a woman, the more you expect for men. It’s easier to just stay singleYou seem to have the opinion that because you earn a lot of money you are somehow "above" men your age who don't. Now you also list a lot of other qualities you claim to possess but notice money was the first thing you put out there so I assume that's what's most important to you. That is such a messed up mindset to have, the worth of a person/partner is not measured by the size of their bank account. For reference, I earn more than you and I've dated women who earned similar amount and women wh… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/07/21 09:34 PM |
| 8 | It seems well-known that women find "ambition" attractive, but what types of ambition, specifically?People will deny this to their dying breath. But there's no way this isn't the truth in a majority of cases. How do we know that? Just look at the jobs that are most attractive to women (in surveys or speed/online dating), some of them are "high status" as in usually commanding great respect within society, e.g. medical doctor. But many aren't, e.g. lawyer or banker. The only common denominator is high earning potential. I've experienced this myself with women feigning interest over me due to my… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/07/21 09:22 PM |
| 12 | Is It Now More Difficult For Not So Attractive Men To Get Partners?OLD is literally the most common way for couples to meet today... | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/07/21 10:03 AM |
| 29 | Q4All: How are we supposed to take dates seriously if they're sleeping around?"Group C almost sees dating and people as just another form of entertainment." I think the fact that this is much more common in the US than elsewhere has to do with precisely this sentiment which people also apply in all other areas of life here. Nobody really gives a fuck about other people. Hence also millions of people living in poverty while the one percent is filthy rich, strong opposition to better social security and universal healthcare etc. If you don't see someone you're dating as a h… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/07/21 07:08 AM |
| – | Its easier for women to settle than menThat's not because they "think they can get them" but because people are usually attracted to others with similar attractiveness, educational background, similar social class etc. Except some people who can apparently never have enough... | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/07/21 01:50 PM |
| – | How is playing video games and watching porn holding modern men back?"It’s not something I allow in my relationships" That's the same level of control-freakishness as not allowing your partner to have friends of the opposite gender lol. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/07/21 01:40 PM |
| 16 | Men need to accept that they aren't going to be the hottest guy that their partner has been withMost people are really bad at faking it or hiding whatever the hell they did with previous partners. You always find out sooner or later. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/07/21 03:47 PM |
| 3 | Men need to accept that they aren't going to be the hottest guy that their partner has been withIf I were ask any of my male friends they 100% wouldn't be able to tell me who their "best" was either because it's fucking insane to even have a ranking like that in the first place. But guess what, the majority of women do it anyways. Which is why this is an important standard for men to have. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/07/21 03:45 PM |
| 2 | Men have a very different perception of what women find attractive than women doOf course building mass takes more time, I never said otherwise. I literally just said ultra low BF (especially when combined with dehydration) is bad for. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/07/21 03:41 PM |
| 31 | If women are responsible for their poor taste in men, then men are responsible for their poor taste in women.That means the person needs some self-improvement No amount of self improvement is going to give the average guy as many dating options as the average women. That's my point. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/07/21 01:13 PM |
| 20 | If women are responsible for their poor taste in men, then men are responsible for their poor taste in women.“But men dont have the options women do” But men are the main pursuersof women, so if the women you pursue are shitty, that means you activelyseek out your bad options. I don't think you understand this point. You can't really always tell ahead of time whether someone is a good person, you have to date them for a bit to find out. So say as an average guy, if you're using OLD or are trying to cold approach women and you're being sort of picky already with regards to who seems to be nice you maybe… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/07/21 12:57 PM |
| 19 | Men have a very different perception of what women find attractive than women doIt's not about mass at all, it's about the super low body fat percentage. Mass is not bad for you unless you look like the hulk but extreme dieting to maintain that shredded look is because it requires either starving yourself or drugs. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/07/21 09:06 AM |
| 17 | Men have a very different perception of what women find attractive than women doThat is some major bullshit. Remember when Zack Effron told people how maintaining his baywatch body fucked him up? And he's definitely in the 1% genetically. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/07/21 09:03 AM |
| 3 | Men have a very different perception of what women find attractive than women do"Lean/ripped means a body fat level of 10% and below. Do you have any idea how difficult that is to reach and maintain?" She obviously doesn't, very clear from her comments. Almost no women do realize this because few of them work out on that level. But they do go on about men's unrealistic expectations all day long... | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/07/21 08:59 AM |
| 14 | Men have a very different perception of what women find attractive than women doYeah and being as shredded as he was in that movie is insanely hard and super unhealthy. So pretty unrealistic standards. And before anyone says it, no, most men don't prefer the equivalent, i.e. super skinny models. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/07/21 08:42 AM |
| 3 | Men have a very different perception of what women find attractive than women do"here’s a point the muscularity becomes a bit of a turnoff" Yeah but my point is that coming even close to that point is almost impossible for most people unless you work out for years and/or use drugs. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/07/21 08:26 AM |
| 10 | Men have a very different perception of what women find attractive than women doHow would you know what most women think about this? I've previously been just lean and a little muscular and now I'm sort of buff and the amount of attention I get from women has noticeably increased. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/07/21 08:19 AM |
| 20 | Men have a very different perception of what women find attractive than women doWhat you refer to as lean and ripped often already involves years of hard word and drug use. Most people can't fathom just how insanely difficult and bad for your body it is to come anywhere near what bodybuilders look like. Even the Hollywood actor type bodies are an insane unrealistic beauty standard MUCH harder to achiever than what men find attractive in women. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/07/21 08:09 AM |
| 2 | Women would be better people if they had to compete in dating like men doYou're not "broke" if you make 100k+ a year. But even that is seemingly not enough nowadays, even for women who make significantly less. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/07/21 08:07 AM |
| 25 | Women would be better people if they had to compete in dating like men doThe competition hasn't made me "better" in the slightest. I've become obsessed with my appearance and my bank account beyond what is healthy and would make me happy. I'm sure the majority of men on here can relate. being "ambitious" is not always a positive thing if the source of your ambition is not passion but external pressure, in this case the messed up dating market. I would be a better person in all aspects that matter (happiness, effect on the community and the environment etc.) if I drop… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/07/21 01:52 PM |
| 6 | Which gender is really more competitive/ambitious?Almost every guy in existence watches porn. And plenty of hardworking people play video games, e.g. every successful computer science graduate I know. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/07/21 07:27 AM |
| 1 | Happiness is Love: Relationships are the Greatest Predictor of Life SatisfactionThis is a big argument in favor of women having it better in life in the 21st century. Romantic relationships are so vital to well being for most people, especially if you can find the right person. I would gladly take a >50% pay cut in exchange for being able to easily find a good partner. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/07/21 01:46 PM |
| 1 | The childish illusion of free sexIf you actually think that giving women money will turn them on then there's no point in arguing with you. That's beyond delusional. I think you've been sniffing too much copium. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/07/21 08:10 AM |
| 1 | The childish illusion of free sexThat's not what I mean. I too could pay some lower middle class gold digger to stick with me forever but that doesn't magically make her sexually attracted to me and she'll only sleep with me out of obligation. Which is the worst kind of sex there is. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/07/21 07:46 AM |
| 3 | The childish illusion of free sexThis is so stupid. Sure you can get regular sex by paying women to like you but sex where your partner is not enthusiastic about it (which is by definition the case if you have to pay them for it) waaaay worse than actual sex or even having no sex at all. At least for anybody who's ever experienced a woman actually being attracted to them. Maybe you've never had that privilege.... | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/07/21 07:16 AM |
| 11 | Do women here have a problem with men spinning plates?Then you can never use online dating. I have never met a single woman who uses OLD and doesn't do this in one form or another. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/07/21 04:25 PM |
| 11 | Do women here have a problem with men spinning plates?Most women and men do this. Pretty sure that's not true everywhere, in some countries in Europe having several "unofficial" relationships is neither normal nor socially accepted. Maybe going on a few first or second dates in parallel, but not e.g. sleeping with one person while still dating another as seems to be more and more common in the US. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/07/21 04:14 PM |
| 2 | What are your thoughts on skincare?I don't think someone who's hot anyways is not going to be impacted that much by acne and someone who isn't has to compensate for it some other ways anyways. There aren't that many people who would tip from "really hot" to "not hot" just because of their skin. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/07/21 01:46 PM |
| 6 | [Q4ALL]Do you believe average/below average people overstate how easy dating is for hot people in their gender?What people do overstate is the 80/20 thing, as if being in the top 20% of guys would make all women flock to you. It's still damn hard to get noticed unless you're crazy attractive, rich, likeable etc. For example, I work out regularly, have a somewhat attractive face, good skin etc. and I also have a PhD and earn in the top 10% in my age group. I also think I'm somewhat likeable but that definitely isn't enough for women to immediately be all over me. Not even close, I have it slightly easier … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/07/21 01:32 PM |
| 1 | Women have no right to complain about the state of men if they don't even care about a man's mental healthThis is the first argument everybody makes to debunk gender stereotypes and its almost never true. Do you think all my girlfriends were clones of each other? There were all completely different people in completely different stages of their lives. Yet they all had some traits in common that I certainly didn't "select for". How would that even be possible? Do you think after the third I go "hmm yeah you're nice but you're a bit too considerate of my feelings so bye bye". | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/07/21 01:20 PM |
| 12 | Women have no right to complain about the state of men if they don't even care about a man's mental healthMost people care about their partners mental health. But there is another dimension to it, namely that many women's sexual attraction seems takes a big hit whenever a guy opens up (about anything really). I've never been in a relationship where this wasn't the case. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/07/21 10:55 AM |
| 20 | Women have no right to complain about the state of men if they don't even care about a man's mental healthWhen most women say they want a man who can show emotions they actually mean "a guy who will listen to my emotional issues 24/7 but never display any signs of weakness himself". | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/07/21 10:47 AM |
| 0 | What are your thoughts on skincare?Yeah, pretty sure wrinkles don't negatively affect most guys looks too much. To me guys in their 40s who don't have any look... weird for example. And acne you usually can't really do anything about except take prescription medication. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/07/21 10:29 AM |
| 3 | What are your thoughts on skincare?"Men with acne generally have a bad diet" That's some major bullshit, MANY men also have hormonal acne issues, usually it stops in your twenties but for a lot of people it doesn't. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/07/21 10:12 AM |
| -1 | What are your thoughts on skincare?What the hell is up with these skincare posts? How is that even remotely related to gender issues? And even if it does make a difference (I still think most of it is genetics), bad skin doesn't make a person unattractive. My ex girlfriend had acne, I didn't care at all. I've also had acne, now my skin is smooth as marble but my success with women has not improved because of it. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/07/21 10:11 AM |
| 3 | Good catches are generally not available.Pretty sure OP is a guy. Still applies though... | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/07/21 01:46 PM |
| 27 | Good catches are generally not available.As we age we tend to get more picky. The criteria to even consider a relationship goes up. And if you've had options and experience with the other gender you know what you're capable of attracting and will not tolerate any less. So you reaction to receiving constant rejections is to... increase your standards? Come on, you can't be serious... | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/07/21 01:35 PM |
| 16 | OLD highlights how men are neglecting their skinI've been doing all of that every day since my early twenties. My father doesn't do any of it, yet he looks almost as good as me. Why? Because this shit is mostly genetics like almost everything else... | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/07/21 07:16 AM |
| 10 | Why is being “her best” your responsibility?"This ignores the biggest adhesive of relationships: emotional bonds. People do not up and leave thriving emotional bonds for “superior” SMV like fickle, sex-crazed goats" I sort of agree with this BUT from personal experience I know that a good number of women (maybe men do this too but from talking to people it seems way less common) will still occasionally fantasize about "the best" they've ever had and even keep talking to their friends about it while in a LTR. They might also have less/less… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/07/21 06:03 AM |
