"Society" doesn't value looks. Individuals within a society value looks, because it's pleasing to the eye. Like art and nature. It's utility and purpose is to bring joy.

TBF since incel content has been banned here, the blackpillers have evolved due to selection pressures lol. They used to be much more distinct, but now they just take RP flair and coat their views in red paint. The death of the TRP sub has also made it difficult, as few even remember what they were about, PPD is a much more generalized dating strategy sub now because of it. We can't exactly blame people for not knowing the basics of TRP. Ideally, yeah, people would know, but alas, we work with w…
An evasion sub would be if we were discussing PPD topics over there and continuing to debate. But debating sex, dating, relationships ect is strictly prohibited on that subreddit. Its soley for meta discussion and updates about this sub.
You don't address any of the arguments in the OP. Its just a bunch of meta commentary and personal attack on OP. Any further questions should go to modmail.
I mean cool, but I'm not saying you have to be devastated. Great if your not. However, generally speaking, women are generally pretty hurt by miscarriages. Hell, when my embryo transfer didn't stick, I literally collapsed in the middle of the sidewalk in broad daylight and cried. Most of the women I know who had miscarriages reacted similarly. I'm sure exceptions exist, however, I think it's silly to deny that women don't feel attached to their unborn children.

Well he does technically own his own company, so I guess it's more middle class. But it's definitely bluecollar work. Trust me, restaurants mark up those oysters quite a bit.
A couple of weeks ago I started a new playthrough of Stardew Valley, I couldn't think of a character name... So I went with Jannie. I've also started naming some of the animals/pets after people from PPD. Your challenge is to guess who is which animal...
But for the men or the women ? for the man i agree completely. But for the woman more money would always be better. For the women. More money is always better, duh. But roughly the same amount of money is all that's needed to make most women satisfied. But they wouldn't sleep with more than 1% of those matches. Mean while the matches I get would all be satisfying for me. Well when relaxed and on vacation, I bet that number jumps from 1% to 10% at least.
Can you clarify what you mean here ? Are you saying that women want a whole lot more than money? No, women want men who earn roughly the same, or a little more. Which most men do here in the US. After that point, money has diminishing returns for the majority of women. In my shoes, (and i did a post on this once), i get 10X the amount of tinder matches in Singapore and Taiwan, that I do in the USA. But comparatively, where can women get a major advantage that they do not have at home like that? …
For a relationship women only date men who earn at least as much as they do. That's well established. Yup, which America has in spades. If that's all women wanted, the men wouldn't be leaving. Yes but whether or not they are advantageous to a relationship, i don't see how. I'm not sure what you mean by this?
"Likes to travel" is definitely a red flag for lots of guys because of the assumption that women are banging hot local guys. Your wrong in your assumption that women are only looking for taller richer men as well. American women don't need rich men, that's been established, which is why these men with money end up having to go abroad. Women are looking for excitement and fun, something in ample supply when on vacation, largely due to her circumstances, being freed from her responsibilities. If a…
My number is based on a conglomeration of studies I've seen over the years. Most lean between 4-6 partners for women, but it's pretty well documented that women lie up to 40% on these so I tacked on an extra 2 lol just to be generous. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nsfg/key_statistics/n-keystat.htm
I stand corrected. The number of egalitarian marriages is at an all time high and still increasing, but still represent a minority of cases. However, I'm sure if we excluded boomers, that would no longer be the case.
Are you referring to the parental rights/duties? I was specifically referring to needing to go to court to handle Trans-shit sinced thats all crazy. Because women almost always get custody of the child, as well as lofty child-support. Actually, custody is almost always split 50/50 and when the fathers actually go to court for a bigger split, they end up winning most of the time. Child support is also definetly not loftly, with an average montly payment being less than $500. Moreover, you are…
I don't presume that most men desire me now. I move through the world assuming I'm an NPC to others and act accordingly. Most often, I am correct. On the rare exception, I am pleasantly surprised.
I don't think the article is saying women can't feel that way, just that they process and deal with those feelings in different ways. Women don't turn to the patriarchy when they are rejected by their men.
Men do not get parental rights, just parental duties; once the woman get custody the kid is at her will, you have to go to court just so your kid don't take life altering hormones. The same applies to women. Last name is just a name is useless in any metric possible. Most men don't agree. No LOL, you become stable because it makes life easier. Having a wife does make life easier. Men are the ones dying early, everything related to health benefit the woman far more than benefit the men. They due …
All those only benefit women: Kids - you don't need to be married to have. They benefit men if men want A) ownership - you get way more parental rights as a married man than a single man. Not to mention the last name situation. And B) he wants them to have the best possible chances for a positive outcome. Stability - women will not pick a men without stability to marry so by default the men already have it so the only outcome possible is the loss of stability. Disagree, men only become stable wh…
I agree, there's no point in getting married... For sex. You can have as much sex as you want outside of marriage. Go for it. However, there are plenty of non-sexual reasons to get married. Kids, stability, benefits, family, status, love, ect. If your only reason to get married is for sex, I'd say your marriage is doomed from the start.
An interesting article on the psychology of Ken.. Although I haven't seen the movie yet, the article mentioned a few reactions that Ken has which sound very familiar to the reactions I see from a lot of men here. Namely, turning to the patriarchy when experiencing neglect from women and turning very real emotions of existential loneliness into horniness. Based on the article, it doesn't sound like the movie is villainizing those valid emotions and instead follows Ken's character development as l…
I was on the fence about approving that one, but it got waaaaayyy more engagement than I predicted. Most of it was pretty solid analysis too. PPD surprised me that day.
Here is an example I saw irl: dude in my group (let's call him R) was trying to meet women on OLD as we were coming out of COVID lockdown. He suggested to one girl to meet up irl, but she declined and said she'd be more comfortable with a zoom call. R wasn't thrilled by the idea cause he thinks he comes off better irl. Things didn't go well with the girl and he moved on to the next one. For her, he offered to meet irl or zoom, despite still not liking zoom at all. In this case, being nice and of…
Except everyone has "bad boy" tendencies. They just get amplified by a bad break up. Even in this simple children's story about good and evil they still make the distinction between good guys who happen to be jerks and actual evil characters.
The same thing is happening live right now What do you mean? Snape is way more popular than James in every sense. By telling a prophecy? Yeah. Snape was nothing more than a friend to her, definitely not a romantic option. She didn't even become friends with Potter, she skipped straight to the relationship. What's wrong with that?
Written by a woman So? Why is that more compelling than what non-fictional characters are doing? Are you talking about him knowing the prophecy and begging for Lily to be spared? Even though Voldemort would have discovered it anyways? No, I'm talking about him putting a hit on the family because he was jealous. The issue is women are too focused on virtue signaling and trying to look good instead of being honest. A guy will tell you he wants his woman to look good. A woman will tell you she want…
Except Lilly is a fictional character, and meanwhile in the real world thousands of women are fangirling over Snape. I have not seen anything even resembling a JamesPotterWives club. Like Snape. Who died trying to protect the child that his school bully skeeted inside of the woman he was in love with. LOL after he tried to get them all killed. But it's all pretty irrelevant as women are once again damned if they do, damned if they don't. If women love James Potter it's because they are all shall…
Just because a woman (even a self proclaimed feminist) does something, doesn't make it a part feminism though. Just because feminism has a certain ideal, doesn't mean that all feminists live up to it.
Many homosexuals have lived hetero lives to get what they want throughout history and today. If you think I'm telling hetero to just go be gay, you've misunderstood my point. My point is that hetero men are seeking something different than hetero women, there is no reason to believe they are equivalents. Women are not even hetero in the way men are hetero and that the way women feel about sex with men they are not attracted to is very similar to the way hetero men feel about sex with other men.
Individuals are generally not dismissed. And what I mean by that is that an individual man who is struggling can usually find support among his friends, family, church, ect. That support may not come in the form of easy sex from women, but he would be listened to and sympathized with. However "men who struggle", as an entity, is difficult to sympathize with when their issues can only be solved by forcing other individuals to solve the problem for them.
Men can do all of those things as well and have as much causal sex as they want - with other men. To me this seems perfectly fair and equal. Because women having sex with men is not the equivalent of men having sex with women. Men having sex with men is the same as women having sex with men. Homosexuality is legal, and in most places perfectly socially acceptable. Though granted, there are some places where homosexuals are still treated hostility. True equality would be focused on those places.
I'm pretty sure feminists are anti-marriage altogether, so engagement rings are covered by that. They also are anti-letting men pay for dates because that puts women in a vulnerable position.

This isn’t a troll answer I’m being dead serious. I can only and have only ever been able to put women in three boxes. LTR prospect, short term prospect and I don’t want to do anything with them. If I see a woman as a LTR prospect and I get disappointed it’s gonna bother me a lot. If I get disappointed even before sleeping with them I don’t even want to do that then so I just bounce. Then don't do that? Just get to know them and see how it goes...
The best counter argument is, why not? What do you have to lose by trying? I mean, no one is gonna force you to LTR someone you don't like. And if you don't find someone you want to LTR, then you default to STR. But if you do meet someone you like, who likes you back, why discard them just because the timing isn't ideal?

One of the textbook examples is feast/famine body types. One study looked at a remote population in Sweden over a period of decades and found that women who were born during times of famine - her children would be more likely to display signs of malnutrition, even if the children grew up during the "feast" decades. Meanwhile, males that became sexually mature during feast decades - his children would be more prone to being overweight and having diabetes. Here's a more complete summary of the stu…
Not necessarily, there's a relatively new field called epigenetics that studies how the environment affects genetics. Basically a class of proteins can switch genes on and off based on environmental factors. I'm not sure about polygamy/monogamy specifically, but just speaking generally.
Your comment is considered trolling because you did not provide a counter argument. It's fine if you want to say her comment is absurd, but you should at least provide an explanation as to why you think it's absurd. Otherwise the debate cannot progress.
Because that doesn't jive with my experiences. I mean, it's possible my perception is completely wrong, I'll admit it's pretty weak. But in the absence of strong evidence otherwise, I have no reason to discount it.
I think this is one of those cases where theory doesn't play out in the real world. If a man is staying on top of his game, staying attractive, and fit for other women, why wouldn't his wife also be more attracted to him? But from my personal experience, the man is solely directing his flirty sexual energy towards other women and starts treating his wife like a mommy rather than a girlfriend, which is even less sexy and attractive than if he just acted as usual but put that energy back into his …

I mean, he didn't really cite it. He just threw out a number. But yeah, mine is just a guestimate. I don't think saying that 1/3 of women have done it once still makes for very good odds that it happens regularly.
Yes, I would say that describes the majority of my romantic interests. The personality trait that draws me in the most is a good sense of humor. Secondly would be status, though I'm trying to push away from that one.
I wholeheartedly disagree. If she agrees to a date to begin with, and doesn't bail within the first few minutes, you are physically attractive enough. To go from attractive to sexy, you have to escalate.
