| 1 | Status is the most important but most widely misunderstood topic hereSo in your country assortative mating doesn't exist? Highly educated career women date uneducated jobless bums? I've travelled extensively and experienced firsthand that status is attractive everywhere. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/03/25 07:03 PM |
| 2 | Status is the most important but most widely misunderstood topic hereNo, there's a great book called Talent is Overrated that cites a lot of scientific research disproving the myth of innate talent. https://admiredleadership.com/resource/talent-is-overrated-what-really-separates-world-class-performers-from-everybody-else/ | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/03/25 07:00 PM |

| 1 | Status is the most important but most widely misunderstood topic hereCome on you know that's not true. Women on here all the time bang the drum of "assortive mating" which means that people couple up with people who are roughly the same in income, education, and socioeconomic background. So no, the woman who is a doctor isn't dating the trades guy just because he's slightly hotter than the doctor. Women by and large don't date down. So as a man, raising your social status in any way that you can is only ever going to expand your dating pool. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/03/25 06:14 AM |
| 1 | Status is the most important but most widely misunderstood topic here- The bartender/promoter are often above-average in looks LOL no. - Bartenders/promoters are often quite social and have good social skills Yes, which leads to... having high social status. Lastly, the bartender isn't going home with someone much hotter than him. Fine but most of the dudes in the club aren't going home with anybody. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/03/25 06:08 AM |

| 2 | Status is the most important but most widely misunderstood topic hereSocializing with people and making friends and having people who are happy to see you and want to socialize with you gives you social legitimacy and social status. As opposed to these guys who think that having a good career that makes them 200k makes them "high status" even though they have no friends. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/03/25 06:03 AM |

| 2 | Status is the most important but most widely misunderstood topic hereI still think you're looking at this too black and white. There's a guy somewhere in this thread who says he's low status but he's working on writing a novel. Okay so imagine that this is some kind of super nerdy sci-fi niche and there's a very limited audience of women who would be interested. He can't get it published, so he pays to print it himself. He starts promoting it online, gains a tiny niche following, then he goes to some sort of fan event where a community of like minded people are n… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/03/25 04:27 AM |
| 1 | Status is the most important but most widely misunderstood topic hereNah I mean there's an old trp trope that the 3 guys at the club who are getting laid are the dj the bartender and the promoter, because they're there for a reason, compared to the average schmucks standing around awkwardly hoping to hit on women. They're the focus of attention, and they know everyone and are socially connected. None of those things take genetic talent or even intelligence tbh. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/03/25 04:20 AM |

| 3 | Status is the most important but most widely misunderstood topic hereYes. You really think that a guy who is a popular local club dj who knows all of the cool people, has access to all of the good drugs, and is invited to all of the coolest parties isn't able to get laid in a league beyond what he could if he was making the same amount of money working at starbucks? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/03/25 04:15 AM |
| 1 | Status is the most important but most widely misunderstood topic hereThe man who doesn't work at the hospital isn't even going to be on their radar. You're proving my point for me. If her choice is a dr at the hospital or some guy she matched with on tinder who is a tradesman, all things else being equal, I'm pretty sure she's going to pick the doctor. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/03/25 04:11 AM |
| 2 | Status is the most important but most widely misunderstood topic hereNaw the attraction is the status or the money not you and how you look and your personality. How you look has a hard limit and is always declining. Status can be always increasing throughout your life. Even a woman who is attracted to your looks and is on your level is going to pick a man who is more interesting and socially connected than you if she can if you're some kind of boring nobody. People can definitely like you because you are fun to be around and enjoy your company thats the only peo… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/03/25 04:09 AM |

| 2 | Status is the most important but most widely misunderstood topic hereThis ties into my #2. Status is not a black and white thing, it's a spectrum.

| 3 | Status is the most important but most widely misunderstood topic hereI played a D1 sport with big audiences. I was also a local star athlete. Sure I dated all the time but I wasn't getting nearly the attention that the very good looking star team mate got. There you go, you dated all the time, which is a lot better than the guy who looks like you but wasn't a star athlete. It's not about you vs the teammate that's hotter, it's about you vs the guy that's equal to you in every way but the status. That's just fantasy talk. Pretty sure it's a karate kid joke. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/03/25 03:12 AM |
| 3 | Status is the most important but most widely misunderstood topic hereThere are small time local equivalents of celebrities who are well known and popular within local and niche social circles and the same dynamic applies. It could be a man who is a leader of a local political activist group, it could be someone who is very active and well liked within their religious community. It's not just about household name mega celebrities. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/03/25 03:08 AM |
| 1 | Status is the most important but most widely misunderstood topic hereI'm telling you from personal experience and observation of friends that it is true and there are many ways to develop niche social status without being a major celebrity. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/03/25 03:07 AM |
| 1 | Status is the most important but most widely misunderstood topic hereNope, if you read my post is has nothing to do with muscles or being super rich. Women admire lots of things. She might admire a man who starts a clothing brand, or opens a restaurant, or is a small time local dj, or is active in some kind of local poetry community, or he's an award winning custom car builder who is well known in that community. There are a million niches, a million ways that a man can stand out beyond being a corporate drone with pictures of fish on his tinder profile. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/03/25 03:06 AM |
| 1 | Status is the most important but most widely misunderstood topic hereYou ignored the part where I pointed out that some people can have zero status and some people can have negative status, therefore everybody has some level of social status. It's not black and white, and it's not just about globally recognizable celebrities. There's a spectrum and where you are on that spectrum is something that you can have control over if you choose to improve yourself. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/03/25 03:04 AM |
| 4 | Status is the most important but most widely misunderstood topic hereBut short term attraction is real attraction. See #5 and #6. She's not just using you for money if you're not even going to see her tomorrow. What does "liked for you" even mean? That sounds like some real blue pill thinking. Who even are you if not the things you accomplish and bring into the world, and the relationships you have with other people? That is you. More importantly that's how all human relationships work.

| 1 | Status is the most important but most widely misunderstood topic hereWhich part do you specifically disagree with? Do you have anything of substance to add to the debate? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/03/25 01:53 AM |
| 5 | Status is the most important but most widely misunderstood topic hereRight. That's fine. Same as if she's dating you for looks and your looks go away. The difference is you can make sure to always be maintaining or improving your status. And the real trp answer to you would be that all women are looking to date accessories. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/03/25 12:34 AM |
| 1 | Status is the most important but most widely misunderstood topic hereI would rather not get specific but I basically "followed my dreams" and pursued a side gig that ended up having a small amount of success which led me to whole new social circles and meeting lots of new likeminded people, including women who admired what I had done. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/03/25 12:14 AM |
| 1 | Status is the most important but most widely misunderstood topic hereYeah, there you go. If it's good you might get it published and if it's successful you'll have people wanting to meet you and so on. If it doesn't get published you could self publish and start to network with other like minded writers and become part of a community and gain a new social circle. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/03/25 12:12 AM |
| 3 | Status is the most important but most widely misunderstood topic hereSee #6. High status men can easily get casual sex which proves that the status is actually attractive and women aren't just trying to extract resources from them. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/03/25 12:10 AM |

| 3 | Status is the most important but most widely misunderstood topic hereThat gives you status among bankers but not necessarily attractive young women. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/03/25 11:53 PM |
| 2 | Status is the most important but most widely misunderstood topic hereBut that's the great thing, you can always improve your status and continue improving it throughout your entire life. Whatever interests, skills, or talents you have, there is some way you can develop those to a point where you gain some type of status, however small. And that will expand your social circle, possibly leading to meeting women who share those interests and are impressed by what you've done. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/03/25 11:01 PM |
| 4 | Status is the most important but most widely misunderstood topic hereYes it's frustrating that people who haven't experienced this try to argue that it's not real. If you've ever experienced not having status and then doing something that suddenly gains you status, you understand that it's night and day. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/03/25 10:59 PM |
| 2 | Status is the most important but most widely misunderstood topic hereI think status should be simple which is why it bothers me when people conflate it with a paycheck or a job title. I think reputation is slightly different though. You can be high status "hey look it's that famous director, he's a genius" but with a bad reputation "I heard he's an asshole and a nightmare to work with". | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/03/25 10:58 PM |
| 3 | Status is the most important but most widely misunderstood topic hereThat's why I said that status is not equivalent to money. Status comes from achieving things that take ambition, skill, talent, and charisma, and which inevitably lead you to lots of social connections and admiration for your accomplishments. This can take many different forms like opening a restaurant, writing and publishing a comic book, or becoming a youtuber. The important thing is not yourself in comparison to other men who you'll never be. What's important is who you are now, vs who you co… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/03/25 10:55 PM |
| 2 | Status is the most important but most widely misunderstood topic hereI already provided you with two definitions that agreed with me. I think you're confusing social status with socioeconomic status. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/03/25 10:20 PM |
| 3 | Status is the most important but most widely misunderstood topic hereSo provide your definition then. I provided two, both which agreed with my position. Note I didn't say socioeconomic status. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/03/25 10:20 PM |
| 4 | Status is the most important but most widely misunderstood topic hereLooks do impact status. That's the biggest factor that contributes to a woman's social status. But men can also achieve higher status through their accomplishments, skills, talents, and things like that. Which is why you often see celebrities dating way out of their league, but you don't really see the same thing with men who are merely rich unless it's an obvious sugar baby scenario. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/03/25 10:18 PM |
| 1 | Status is the most important but most widely misunderstood topic hereYou can't be friendless and have high social status! That's what you're missing. Status is not just a job title or the number on your W2. Status is earned socially. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/03/25 10:17 PM |
| 1 | Status is the most important but most widely misunderstood topic hereI'm talking about what status means within the context of dating women. The definition I gave you ""societal status" refers to an individual's position or rank within a social group or society, influencing social interactions, opportunities," is literally synonymous with "popularity". It's possible that someone can make a lot of money and have an impressive job but be hated by millions of people and basically have negative social status. You're thinking of status in some kind of very narrow ster… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/03/25 10:14 PM |

| 2 | Status is the most important but most widely misunderstood topic hereFrom the point of view of men who want to date attractive women, that doesn't really matter. The long term stability can come later, it's the initial attraction that's important. I got my knowledge about status from real life experience. Fame never lasts long without being followed by large amounts of money. You've never heard of artists? There are plenty of people who are admired, respected, celebrated as geniuses throughout their entire lives while essentially living in poverty. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/03/25 10:04 PM |
| 6 | Status is the most important but most widely misunderstood topic hereThe first line of the wikipedia page says Social status is the relative level of social value a person is considered to possess. Such social value includes respect, honor, assumed competence, and deference. As far as status applies to womens attraction to men, you're looking at it the wrong way. You can have a profession that's respectable that is held in high regard by other men, but that isn't attractive or sexy to women. This is one the bullet points I forgot to include but talked about it a … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/03/25 10:01 PM |
| 1 | Status is the most important but most widely misunderstood topic hereI mean, sure in a sense it probably does. Within the context of reddit, if you're trying to be a mod or something then having a lot of karma probably boosts your status. That's not necessarily a form of status that's attractive to women. But it theoretically could be. Imagine a style subreddit where people post pictures of their outfits and one guy stands out as the "star" of the sub and everyone raves about his fits, he gets tons of positive comments and tons of karma. He could potentially end … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/03/25 09:54 PM |
| 7 | Status is the most important but most widely misunderstood topic hereHe's in a popular band with tons of adoring fans, he gets to travel around the world and has an exciting social life filled with interesting people. I don't believe it's circular. In every case I know where a guy is dating out of his league, his social status came first and women came second. It's not just he's popular because he has a hot girlfriend. He's popular because he does cool impressive things and people want to know him and attractive women are among them. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/03/25 09:49 PM |
| 2 | Status is the most important but most widely misunderstood topic hereI had some other thoughts I forgot to include but one is that certain types of social status are attractive to women while others aren't. These are mostly things that lead to a fun exciting lifestyle in areas that women are interested in. You can be a famous musician and be broke, hence high status even when poor. And that's more sexy and exciting than the boring guy with the good steady job who has a "status" that makes his mom proud of him. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/03/25 09:46 PM |
| – | What is meant by “accountability”?There are many little ways. Lots of women will do things like forget to do something she was responsible for and then blame her partner "why didn't you remind me"? Lots of women in the US are raised to believe they can do no wrong and anything bad that happens is someone else's fault. The "women are wonderful" effect. When a man cheats, "god what an asshole, he didn't deserve you queen." When a woman cheats "what did he do wrong to drive you to that? honestly you deserve better queen".

That has absolutely nothing to do with men dating straight women. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/03/25 08:48 PM |
| 3 | Can hypergamy include factors other than economic status?For me it's the opposite. I find it so strange that women here seem so hell bent on proving that their partners are losers. I would think you all would be proud and say, yeah my parter is great, he's so successful, intelligent, ambitious, he's really a catch and I feel so lucky. Men describing what we observe in real life isn't "attacking" you for it.

| 1 | Concepts like hypergamy can have different meanings and interpretations, and manifest in different ways, but that doesn't mean the core idea isn't validNonsense our choices of partners have a huge cultural element. You think if someone rejects a potential partner because of their religion that’s just “biology”? Terms from one field are borrowed and reused in a different way in another field all the time. Deal with it. It’s like complaining that people aren’t using the term meme in its correct original meaning. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/03/25 09:18 PM |

| 1 | Can hypergamy include factors other than economic status?Social status and reputation are based on things like admiration and respect for one’s accomplishments, talents, career, etc. they’re the same thing. There’s nothing superficial or self serving about that. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/03/25 09:13 PM |
| 1 | Concepts like hypergamy can have different meanings and interpretations, and manifest in different ways, but that doesn't mean the core idea isn't validI didn't mention biology at all. I'm talking about the general social observation that women tend to want to date up. What "up" means can vary because it can include money or social status and can manifest in a lot of different ways. The fact that it varies and that there are some exceptions doesn't falsify the concept. Do you have proof of the opposite phenomenon where women consistently date or marry down? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/03/25 07:01 PM |
| -4 | Concepts like hypergamy can have different meanings and interpretations, and manifest in different ways, but that doesn't mean the core idea isn't validIt's not really an axe to grind because I don't care and I don't think there's anything wrong with it, but okay. You don't think that there's generally a reason why people are attracted to their partners? Something that stands out and makes them remarkable? Everybody is just a bunch of equal, undifferentiated totally average people? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/03/25 06:58 PM |
| 1 | Concepts like hypergamy can have different meanings and interpretations, and manifest in different ways, but that doesn't mean the core idea isn't validThat's fair. Although some people are pushing back on the height thing talking about "sexual dimorphism". At the core are these all just signifiers of masculinity. If you don't have the height but you have the socioeconomic status, that satisfies the sense of masculinity and makes you more attractive in a similar way, doesn't it? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/03/25 02:44 PM |
| 1 | Concepts like hypergamy can have different meanings and interpretations, and manifest in different ways, but that doesn't mean the core idea isn't validWay to demonstrate that posters here can't understand nuance or metaphor. In no way am I comparing hypergamy to racism. I'm just pointing out that some concepts, maybe most even, can have different ways they manifest in real life and so disproving one particular narrow strawman definition of a concept doesn't mean that the entire thing doesn't exist. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/03/25 02:42 PM |
| 0 | Concepts like hypergamy can have different meanings and interpretations, and manifest in different ways, but that doesn't mean the core idea isn't validThe point is that looks are the only dimension that men are concerned about while women are looking at all of the others. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/03/25 02:39 PM |
| 1 | Concepts like hypergamy can have different meanings and interpretations, and manifest in different ways, but that doesn't mean the core idea isn't validTBH when it comes to bro science I personally find the "hypergamy" argument more compelling than the "sexual dimorphism" one. I think I would argue that if you go back to when we were apes and money, career, and formal education didn't exist, then things like size and strength were the only forms of status and yes, they were the earliest forms of hypergamy. As such it makes sense that for people who don't have much going on in terms of money and status then size and strength are still the only s… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/03/25 02:38 PM |
| -1 | Concepts like hypergamy can have different meanings and interpretations, and manifest in different ways, but that doesn't mean the core idea isn't validIt's not meaninglessly broad if all of the different manifestations share the same underlying theme. And it's not meant to demonize women because there's nothing wrong with it. It's completely natural. It's not demonizing men to say they like beautiful women. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/03/25 02:30 PM |
| -4 | Concepts like hypergamy can have different meanings and interpretations, and manifest in different ways, but that doesn't mean the core idea isn't validAll of these examples relate back to the core underlying concept (across & up). Take for example the concept of racism. It can manifest as brutal violence, a verbal slur, or not giving someone a job. What you're doing is similar to how racists will claim to not be racist by defining it in a really narrow way. "I can't be a racist, I never say the n-word" or "I have a black friend" when at the same time they gave a job to a white person who was less qualified than a black applicant. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/03/25 03:28 AM |
| 1 | Expecting a partner to at least be in a similar economic position as you is entirely reasonableuh... people don't usually talk about salaries, so you see a married couple and you'll never know who is earning more. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/03/25 01:36 AM |
| 2 | Expecting a partner to at least be in a similar economic position as you is entirely reasonableDoesn't even have to be a "power couple". My parents were just normal middle class people who both worked full time. My grandparents helped babysit me when my parents were at work. There are plenty of poor and working class families where everyone works and extended family helps raise the kids. Being a SAHM is a privilege for the upper middle class and above. Which is why some of these women pursue the degree and the career so they can snag the rich guy and retire at 30. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/03/25 03:19 AM |
| 1 | Expecting a partner to at least be in a similar economic position as you is entirely reasonableThe issue is that it makes a mockery of the entire idea of dating someone who earns the same amount as you. If her education and career are just bait to attract the high earning man then it's absolutely ridiculous for women to tell men that a woman's career and income is something they should care about. And the reality is that a lot of men aren't happy with the arrangement, it's just something that happens, often slowly at first.

| 3 | Expecting a partner to at least be in a similar economic position as you is entirely reasonableWell the point still stands. I think some women go to college and start their careers basically hoping to be around high earning men who can afford to let them be a sahm. Having had kids in a hcol area it's a dynamic I saw a lot of. So of course these women hate the idea that men might not value her degree or her career and might instead marry a less successful woman who is simply more attractive. Of course most people want a partner who comes from a similar socioeconomic background. But just li… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/03/25 01:41 AM |

Not really. Usually one person is more accomplished, ambitious, and on top of their career and earns more consistently throughout the relationship.

Even before cellphones you would generally get someone’s number then call them later, not try to make concrete plans right there on the spot. It’s better game too. Gives her some time to think about you, check out your social media etc. Plus lots of people get together by knowing each other socially for a while and then ending up alone together and one thing leads to another without any “asking out” ever happening. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/08/24 08:43 PM |

Most people aren’t in 10 serious LTRs before marriage, that’s a lot! Maybe 3 or 4 tops, so that’s 6 or 7 hookups. Basically double the amount of hookups as relationships which makes sense.

| 2 | Daily Community Chat MegathreadIronic that you see the zone with no real rules as the "sanctuary" and acknowledge that the main sub with all of its byzantine rules is pure shit. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/12/23 03:16 AM |
| 2 | Daily Community Chat MegathreadOnly certain on-topic discussions that aren't put in the weekly thread ghetto. And oops, sorry it sounds like you have an opinion, so that can't be a "discussion" it has to be a "cmv" even though we don't actually enforce any real debating rules like the actual cmv sub. Oh wait, wrong "flair" sorry your post is deleted and it has to go under some bizarre "automod" wall of text. Write up a long, well thought out argument? Sorry you used a word that triggered some kind of censorship filter but we'… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/12/23 03:13 AM |
| 2 | Daily Community Chat MegathreadAnyone else think that the daily chat should be on-topic only? There are way too many people using it like a personal blog. Posting new threads is pretty much useless with all of the arbitrary rules, strict filter, major relevant topics that are quarantined into weekly threads that get almost no engagement, and long gaps where the mods apparently don't let any new posts through. The daily chat seems like the only useful place to have an actual discussion but it's flooded with "dear diary" bullsh… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/12/23 03:00 AM |

| 2 | Do you think there are more men willing to be house husbands or more women will to have house husbands?You’ve clearly never lived with a woman. Just read the thread and see all of the women saying that men wouldn’t be able to do it to the standard necessary and that they would just play video games all day. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/12/23 09:36 PM |
| 3 | Do you think there are more men willing to be house husbands or more women will to have house husbands?The thing is that all of the other gender dynamics won't have changed. What do you make the kids for breakfast and lunch, what groceries should you buy, how clean should the house be, what chores need to be done, what errands need to be run, what after school activities should the kids be doing? These will all still be dictated by her and he will be expected to perform to her standards. So it's not at all equal. He can't just do things however he wants to like a SAHM can. Plus she's going to fee… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/12/23 08:43 PM |
| 13 | LOOKS WEEKLY DISCUSSION THREADThis thread that reached the front page a couple of days ago is the perfect example of why you can't have a rational discussion about looks with women. You would think we could discuss mens faces, are they handsome or ugly, but the vast majority of the comments are about style, grooming, does he wash his ass, or what his hands look like. One woman mentions finding a man attractive until he opened his mouth. So you didn't like him, fine, but he still has the same attractive face, it didn't sudden… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/12/23 08:03 PM |
| 14 | Watching people be unaware of their type is funny.That’s a lot of words to say “attractive women”. Yes men want to date beautiful women, what a shock. Funny how much you shit on men for associating with “bad women” but you’re friends with a drug addict who dates pimps and kidnappers!? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/12/23 03:42 PM |

| 17 | 60% of Millennial women are already nearly infertile. And 80% of childless women regret not having kids. Is this why more women are crying on TikTok than ever before?“About 20% of women in the U.S. now have their first child after age 35.“ https://newsinhealth.nih.gov/2022/07/having-kids-later-life | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/12/23 10:15 PM |
| 55 | 60% of Millennial women are already nearly infertile. And 80% of childless women regret not having kids. Is this why more women are crying on TikTok than ever before?Lol 35 is not “an established cutoff”. The oldest millennials are 43. There are probably vanishingly few millennials who have even started menopause yet. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/12/23 09:12 PM |
| – | Daily Community Chat MegathreadIn general most people, most of the time, are dating 1 person. No lots of people aren't dating anyone. If you take two men and two women, year one man A and woman A date, man B is single and lonely, woman B is happy single. Year 2, man A and woman B date, and woman A is happy being single, man B is still miserable being single. That's a simple example of a situation where one man monopolizes two women while the other has none, and the women are happier being single than settling for man B. It ha… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/11/23 10:08 PM |
| – | Daily Community Chat MegathreadIn any given group, "jocks" for instance, those 100 guys could all be part of the top 20%, so it's completely realistic that all the attractive guys find attractive women. Again, niches are an entirely different unrelated topic. But the niche would have to include all of the regular guys who are just fans of the sport, you can't only count the top men but count all of the women. Imagine a football game and you're counting the guys on the field and all of the cheerleaders plus all of the women in… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/11/23 09:09 PM |
| – | Daily Community Chat MegathreadNiches are an entirely different topic. You're just magically inventing extra attractive women. In a particular niche if there are 100 attractive men and 100 attractive women and the majority of those women go after the hottest 10 men then the men at the bottom of the cutoff for attractiveness will still lose out. But if you could somehow identify a niche that was full of beautiful women and ugly men, sure you could probably exploit those odds to have better success. For simplicity of discussion… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/11/23 08:47 PM |
| – | Daily Community Chat MegathreadNot really because there could still be different segments for women with different tastes. There could be the top 20% of jocks being chased by a majority of basic sorority girls and the top 20% of arty alt guys being chased by alt women, and so on. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/11/23 08:19 PM |
| – | Daily Community Chat MegathreadWhere did I say that it's a problem? I'm just describing reality. Women here say there are no chad harems, 80/20 rule isn't real, and things like that. I'm just showing how an imbalance can happen in a more subtle way. It's obviously a problem for that middle tier of guy who is struggling and the only solution is for men to improve themselves and try to become the top 20% guy. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/11/23 08:17 PM |
| – | Daily Community Chat MegathreadI think women here underestimate how much serial monogamy coupled with womens' high standards creates a dynamic that's basically like a "soft harem". The top 20% of the most attractive desirable men have lots of options so even if they're willing to commit to a monogamous relationship, they might get bored easily and quickly move onto the next woman. Say these relationships last six months on average and the average top tier guy dates only two women a year but the women are happy being single fo… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/11/23 07:38 PM |
| 2 | If we assume that 20/80 rule is true, how would u describe the top 20% guy (in early 20s)?Status is just about fame or micro fame within a social circle. It's not about your job. Cops aren't high status lol. And young women absolutely are attracted to high status guys even if they're broke. It's not about beta bux. A star college quarterback is going to do fine with women even if he's kind of funny looking. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/11/23 07:28 PM |
| 0 | A major issue with the modern dating market is that immoral sexual behavior is heavily discouraged in men but either ignored or even outright ENCOURAGED in women in the modern era.It's the first thing he says in the subject line "immoral sexual behavior is heavily discouraged in men". Womens sexuality was shamed for thousands of years and now they've decided collectively that they dgaf and men shaming them isn't going to have any effect anymore. They have each others backs. Male shaming doesn't matter to attractive and sexually successful men either it's just meant to keep losers in their place.

LOL come on it's nowhere near even 20%. There are a lot of celebrities. The men irl I know who have people talking about their bad behavior still do well with women. Men who tend to be sexually successful with women and who are players can also push boundaries too much and get themselves into trouble, and some are cheaters and people talk. But it really doesn't seem to affect their success with women. Men who are paranoid about getting cancelled over approaching women or wh… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/11/23 11:56 PM |
| 24 | A major issue with the modern dating market is that immoral sexual behavior is heavily discouraged in men but either ignored or even outright ENCOURAGED in women in the modern era.In my experience "immoral sexual behavior" in men is also completely excused and overlooked. Look at any celebrity with serious allegations and they pretty much always still have a hot girlfriend or a wife who stayed with them. In real life I know men who are known cheaters and players and that doesn't hurt their chances with women at all. If anything it helps. The public shaming is just virtue signaling, women don't actually care. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/11/23 08:59 PM |
| 1 | Men are looking for casual sex and fwbs whether you want to hear it or not.Of course men want sex, but there are also different kinds of men looking for different things. If a man has never had a girlfriend and is really lonely and feels like he's missing out then those are the men who say "all I want is a girlfriend". Someone else who just got out of a bad relationship might just be looking to sleep around casually for a while. But in between that there are men who would like a relationship and are looking for one but it between finding it they take what they can get.… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/11/23 12:36 AM |

The thinking is that it breaks some of the sexual tension. But more importantly since you already kissed on the first date she's going to be thinking that you're expecting sex on the second, and that puts too much … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/11/23 12:29 AM |
