| 6 | CMV: Men see younger men as other men, where women see younger women as little children. This is at the core of many disagreements on PPD.The study that found most women in age gap relationships to be happy and securely attached was done in the U.S. Are you suggesting that large age gaps are problematic in some countries but not in others? There is no reason to assume that age-gap relationships would be associated with negative outcomes in the U.S, but not in other countries like Tanzania or Colombia where they're much more common. The reality is that it's much easier to study age gaps in countries where they're normal and sociall… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/04/23 03:27 PM |

And yet, older women are much more likely to fall for romance scams than young women, in spite of their supposed greater emotional intelligence and maturity. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/older-women-most-likely-click-online-romance-scam-artists-flna1c9924420 First consider how valuable they are sexually.

| 3 | CMV: Men see younger men as other men, where women see younger women as little children. This is at the core of many disagreements on PPD.Worth reminding that research on age gap relationships consistently shows similar outcomes to non-age-gap relationships. We don't actually see the things people claim, for example more abuse or controlling behavior on the part of the older partner. Large age-gaps are not negatively associated with measures of fertility or well-being for either sex. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1090513822000411 This is a replication of Lawson et al. who found the same result: higher sati… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/04/23 11:32 AM |

| – | CMV: Women on PPD exaggerate how much women generally work and earn.The issue with the study you have linked is it’s self reported. I'm not sure which study you're talking about, but this one isn't based on self-report. It's based on U.S. census data. So no, married men are not "hyping up" the amount of work they do. They really do work much more than anyone else. Married women still outearn single women by a small margin, even though most single women are not mothers and have all the time in the world to focus on their careers. I also don’t think studies are ve… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/04/23 07:56 AM |
| 1 | Most criticism on the male gender is out of contextJust because men are the ones who typically walk away from their children doesn't mean they are the only ones who do. Women who aren't caring for their children also have to pay so child support. The vast majority of men who pay child support never abandoned their kids. While there really are losers who abandon their children (though this is also an indicator of the woman sexually selecting a loser to begin with), there are also a sizable number of women who have been brainwashed to believe that… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/01/23 07:41 AM |
| 55 | Study finds that sexless people are just as happy as sexually active people.The study relies on data from a GSS survey that did not ask respondents whether they were celibate by choice or not—a major confounder that the study was unable to control for. According to NSFG data, most sexless men are sexless by choice. The authors state that "since sexual abstinence can be presumed to be largely involuntary in most of these studied populations, sexual inactivity has, not surprisingly, been correlated with poorer mental health." This presumption seems to be unsupported by an… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/01/23 03:18 PM |
| 1 | Women ghost after sex just as often as menDeclining does mean gone, and it certainly isn’t gone yet. I’ve met A LOT of men who will straight up not be with a woman who have ONS. Actually, there is evidence that the stigma has reversed and that women now dislike promiscuous men more than men dislike promiscuous women. So there doesn't seem to be a double standard that favors male promiscuity any more. Analysis gave physical attractiveness effects and limited evidence for a reverse double standard. Women rated a promiscuous man more negat… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/01/23 10:44 PM |
| 1 | Women do initiate most divorces and it is not because "paperwork"It's funny how the same people who believe that most sexual violence against women doesn't get reported due to the social stigma and the fear that the police won't believe the victims, also believe that domestic violence against men isn't a problem since the reporting rate is low and there's no reason whatsoever why most men wouldn't report it. Studies that don't just look at cases reported to law enforcement have found that DV is pretty equal. The perception and resources are not. Almost 24% of… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/01/23 09:01 PM |
| 0 | Anyone else here who thinks idea of lonely women or femcel is fake?Even proven abusers get visitation with their children and the woman gets slammed with trying to come between a father and his children if she tries to fight it. People convicted of child abuse don't get unsupervised visitation. Even if what you're saying is true, which I doubt, it applies to mothers more than fathers because women are the ones who perpetrate most child abuse. https://www.statista.com/statistics/418470/number-of-perpetrators-in-child-abuse-cases-in-the-us-by-sex/ | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/01/23 09:36 AM |
| 4 | What do you think about foreveralonewomen community on reddit?Most femcels believe either or both of the following: Some women are too ugly to attract men. Some women are too mentally unstable to attract men. There is strong evidence against both of these claims. Very unattractive women are not just more likely to be married than average and unattractive women, they're also more likely be married to successful men: The analysis of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) shows that very unattractive women were significantly more li… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/01/23 03:02 PM |

During and before the American Civil War, the vast majority of nurses were male; and we probably don't need as many of them today as we needed when infectious diseases such as polio, small pox, diphtheria, bubonic plague, typhoid fever, and wars were still rampant. Of course, we really wouldn't even have t… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/01/23 10:29 PM |

That's completely true, but irrelevant to the above study, which is based on self-reports given by Afghan women during interviews conducted by female NGO workers. To their credit, they ignored Afghan government statistics on DV, which, if even existent, undoubtedly greatly understate the problem. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/01/23 05:52 PM |
| 1 | You have no idea what it's like to be an unattractive woman.You seem to just be sating single men are too shy to socialise with women, which is probably why they're single. I'm trying to explain why many women don't get approached constantly even though lots of men would like to date them. Most single men only approach women within their friends circle, and only when they feel that the woman likes them and that there is a reasonable chance of success. Most people are not friends with lots of opposite-sex singles, and in fact mostly have same-sex friends,… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/01/23 01:28 PM |
| 4 | You have no idea what it's like to be an unattractive woman.The ironic thing is that there are women on r/foreveralone who genuinely seem to believe that they are completely undesirable and that no man would ever want them, apparently completely oblivious to the fact that most male posters on that sub would love to date them. In most cases, extreme insecurity and distrust of men are their real issues; not undesirability. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/01/23 12:31 PM |
| 2 | You have no idea what it's like to be an unattractive woman.The vast majority of women are getting advances once in a blue moon at best, especially if you exclude cases of blatant harassment. That's because most men don't bother making advances to female strangers because they know there is a 99% chance that they will be rejected. Many of the men in women's social circles are already in relationships or above average in desirability and therefore less likely to approach average women. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/01/23 12:24 PM |
| 6 | Can the difference between the female sex drive and the male sex drive be evidenced by the stark differences between gay male sexual patterns and lesbian sexual patterns?I'm not saying there isn't DV in lesbian relationships just it far less often becomes dangerous to life, livelihood, physical wellbeing. Straight women have the highest rates of being murdered by their partners, but the risk is still very low. The odds of a woman being killed by her male partner are 1.07/100,000. The odds of dying in a car crash are 1/113. If women are more afraid of getting killed by their male partners than of getting into a car, they're vastly overestimating the risk. Severe … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/01/23 12:42 AM |
| 8 | Can the difference between the female sex drive and the male sex drive be evidenced by the stark differences between gay male sexual patterns and lesbian sexual patterns?So many people want to believe against all logic and reason that men and women have similar sex drives, even though study after study has shown that this is not true. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2022-10-stronger-sex-men-women.html This is an article about a meta analysis of over 200 studies that found consistent evidence that men have a higher sex drive than women. “Frankenbach said between 24% and 29% of women appear to have a higher sex drive than the "average" man.” If you bell curved the … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/01/23 08:58 PM |
| 1 | Childfree culture is a hiccup due to the recent invention of birth control and will disappear in a few hundred yearsMiddle class people often say they can't afford kids, but statistically poor people have the most kids. The middle-class people who are in the best position to afford kids actually have the fewest. There is an inverse correlation between income and fertility in the US. https://www.statista.com/statistics/241530/birth-rate-by-family-income-in-the-us/ | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/01/23 12:09 PM |
| 1 | Childfree culture is a hiccup due to the recent invention of birth control and will disappear in a few hundred yearsThere's no evidence that someone whose parents wanted children There's plenty of evidence, actually. Based on adoption studies, fertility is about 30% genetically heritable. There's also evidence that the heritability of fertility is rising. One thing that is going to happen is that women already genetically predisposed towards high fertility are going to become over represented in countries that have gone past the second demographic transition. While the number of second and third children in t… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/01/23 11:50 AM |

In Africa, teenage girls have a massively increased risk of maternal mortality, whereas in Europe, there is no increased risk at all. So there is no doubt that environmental conditions such as nutrition can have a massive effect on teenage pregnancy outcomes. The fi… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/01/23 06:27 PM |
| 1 | What do the men that constantly post and speak about men preferring teenager girls hope to achieve?Or maybe they have more in common with them? Men can have common interests with much younger women, but even if they don't, having an agreeable partner is a much stronger predictor of relationship success than common interests. A stronger predictor of compatibility than shared interests is the ratio of positive to negative interactions, which should be 20-to-1 in everyday situations, whether a couple is doing something they both enjoy or not,” says Gottman. https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/01/23 04:31 PM |
| 1 | What do the men that constantly post and speak about men preferring teenager girls hope to achieve?Age gaps come with drawbacks and you can't make that up with desirability in other aspects A large amount of the discourse online I have seen surrounding age gaps takes the form of disgust. Basically "it is gross." This is what people say first. Only if pressed do arguments or rationalizations for the taboo come out. All relationships come with drawbacks. There seems to be little actual evidence that age gap relationships are uniquely problematic. The Forbes 400 population is NOT representative … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/01/23 02:15 PM |
| 4 | What do the men that constantly post and speak about men preferring teenager girls hope to achieve?Men don't prefer teenage girls. On dating apps, 18-year old girls get more likes and messages on average than women in their early 20s or older. As shown in Fig. 2, for instance, average desirability varies with age for both men and women, although it varies more strongly for women, and the effects run in opposite directions: Older women are less desirable, while older men are more so (18, 19). For women, this pattern holds over the full range of ages on the site: The average woman’s desirabilit… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/01/23 12:40 PM |
| 1 | Does anyone else feel like feminism has ruined a generation of women for dating?Rosie the Riveter was a real person as much as Uncle Sam was. She wasn't. The character is a concept, a marketing tool to convince women to take over the jobs typically held my men while they were off to war, and nothing more. Based on a look and an idea, that's all that Rosie the Riveter is and ever was. Or the ones who kept the farm going while their men were away at war? That didn't happen on a large scale for two reasons: Most men who were drafted were very young and didn't own any businesse… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/12/22 11:22 AM |

| -2 | Which sex provides more sexual satisfaction to the other?There doesn't seem to be much interest in casual sex among lesbians in general though, and a lot of lesbian women who do like casual sex struggle to get it. https://www.allure.com/story/queer-women-nonbinary-people-casual-sex-rural-america This is an article by a lesbian woman who isn't ugly complaining that she has a hard time finding casual sex partners. If she were straight, there is no way she would have that problem. I haven't seen any evidence that lesbians are more likely to orgasm during… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/12/22 10:31 PM |
| -1 | Which sex provides more sexual satisfaction to the other?I highly doubt that explains it. Men are actually more likely to enjoy performing oral sex than women. Even though a higher proportion of women provided their partners with oral sex, only 28 per cent confessed that they actually enjoyed giving it. Staggeringly, 52 per cent of male participants claimed to enjoy going down on their partners, but only one-fifth actually delivered the goods. (source) So the question must be asked, if 52% of men enjoy giving oral sex but only 20% are doing it... who'… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/12/22 07:55 PM |
| 1 | Which sex provides more sexual satisfaction to the other?That's most likely because lesbians have less casual sex on average than straight women.

Almost half of women have cried at work in the past 12 months, and more than half have experienced anxiety. From the "Emotional Incidents in the Workplace Survey" by Anne Kreamer: We surveyed 701 respondents, a random sample representing every state and the full range of occupational levels and business sectors, equally divided by gender.

| 3 | Bar is too Low for men .They dont even do bare minimumMaybe consider the fact that women don’t just use appearance to choose their partner like men do. That's not a fact. That's just an unsubstantiated claim. Women don't only care about looks—and neither do men—but looks do play a big role in how they make their dating decisions. According to a large poll, 31% of males admitted that they would ignore/avoid someone of the opposite sex based upon their looks, compared to 70% of female respondents. So any OLD studies or studies of women rating mens ap… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/12/22 07:16 PM |
| 7 | Bar is too Low for men .They dont even do bare minimumIt's not cherrypicked data. There is lots of evidence that in both online and offline dating, women view most men as below average in physical attractiveness. One offline study (Brumbaugh et al., 2009) found an even larger effect size than OkCupid did. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/12/22 04:33 PM |
| 30 | Bar is too Low for men .They dont even do bare minimummaybe HOT men are not on dating apps because they don’t need to, leaving the less attractive men to do it? The creator of OkCupid thought of that, so he compared the attractiveness of male users of his app to that of men on sites such as Facebook. He got the exact same results. https://imgur.com/WAMhazD The image includes the text: "Now, the men on OKCupid aren't actually ugly -- I tested that by experiment, pitting a random set of our users against a comparible random sample from a social netwo… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/12/22 01:52 PM |
| 1 | Thing about women loyalty....No, they aren't. When you enter into a monogamous relationship, the baseline is ''we're only having sex with each other'' and you trust that your partner will uphold that deal. But what if they're not actually having sex with each other a lot of the time? What if the woman only wants sex once a week and her partner wants it once or twice a day? What if they do love each other, but just have a mismatched libido? I think it's unfair to expect the male to adapt himself to his female partner's lower… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/12/22 01:19 PM |

| – | Thing about women loyalty....Ever consider that the women who cheat might have reasons, too? Like their emotional needs aren’t being met, similarly to men’s sexual needs? That doesn't change the fact that most women who cheat are looking for a new relationship, not just additional emotional support, and most men who cheat are not. I also think your definition of loyalty is super fucked up lol. Someone who wants to stay with their partner is by definition more loyal than someone who wants to leave them. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/12/22 11:56 AM |
| – | Thing about women loyalty....Most women who cheat do so with the intention to enter a new relationship and no longer love their partner. Most men who cheat still love their partner and don't want to leave her. So men who cheat are still more loyal than women who cheat. but as the age goes up, men cheat more. That can largely be explained by the fact that women's libido drops precipitously during pregnancy and in most cases never really returns to its baseline. Most men above the age of 30 have partners with at least one chi… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/12/22 11:02 AM |

As the above article points out, Alan Dixson refuted these claims in his book Sexual Selection and the Origins of Human Mating Systems. The human penis is not significantly longer than those of other primates relative to body size, and the human glans is very similar to that of many primate species. Gordon Gallup's semen displacement hypothesis seems to have no real supporting evidence. I did a Google Scholar search for academic paper… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/12/22 04:32 PM |
| 14 | Was Giacomo Casanova a masculine or dominant man?Casanova was clearly a Dark Triad man. He'd be considered a criminal by modern standards, and his mentality couldn't have been any further from that of bluepilled simps. For every tender love affair of his, there were plenty of instances where he outright raped and abused. In several instances, children were the objects of his “affection.” In the 1740s, according to Paolina’s Innocence: Child Abuse in Casanova’s Venice by Larry Wolff, Casanova purchased a girl’s virginity from her own mother and… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/08/22 10:07 AM |
| 3 | Men dont have much to offer in datingProstitution isn't just older than slavery, it's also older than humanity itself. It has been observed in primates and other animal species. There have likely always been women who voluntarily exchanged sex for material resources. Slavery didn't exist anywhere until the Neolithic Revolution, which started around 10,000 B.C. Only then could slavery be viable. It didn't even exist in most places until after the Neolithic. Egypt didn't have slavery until the Old Kingdom. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/08/22 09:45 AM |

They’ll say the experience was awkward and uncomfortable They'll say that the experience was awkward and uncomfortable for her, but not necessarily for them. I’m not buying the generalization that men don't like having sex with virgins without objective statistics to back it up.

They're a minority. Most men would date an unemployed woman. Though joblessness is a social stigma for men, unemployed women have much better odds of meeting someone.
