| 2 | CMV : If you’re the guy she had to lower her “unrealistic” standards for the you’re forever on thin iceIts worse when women cheat | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/09/23 08:31 PM |
| 0 | What's wrong with average men?The truth is that women respond more to socialisation. What they define as “average” is based on the aggregate of the the social indicators which a man elicits. If society as a whole, which is run by men, started to suggest that fat, broke men were to be afforded the greatest social status, then women would all be chasing fat, broke men. So actually, when you think about it, its men who are creating our own problem here. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/09/23 08:30 AM |
| 3 | What's wrong with average men?Status, resources, physical attractiveness. In that order. This is how women rate men. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/09/23 08:23 AM |
| 2 | CMV : If you’re the guy she had to lower her “unrealistic” standards for the you’re forever on thin iceIts nice to hear someone else who’s had a similar experience. I’m in my 30’s too. Took me far too long to learn what you shared here. As you say, it’s better to avoid because ultimately it’s very hurtful to the woman. No one wants to feel like they aren’t good enough. I don’t want to be the cause of anyones heartache. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/09/23 07:08 AM |
| 3 | CMV : If you’re the guy she had to lower her “unrealistic” standards for the you’re forever on thin iceFinally some self awareness. So refreshing. Great comment. It works for at least a few men too. I’ve been with girls now who I liked “on paper” so I forced myself to be with them. But I realise that you cannot force love. It just happens. I would be “ok” with them but I’d constantly get the ick about certain little things. But that was just my brain making a broader mismatch into an individual problem. Honestly I’m pretty cynical now. I think it’s a bad situation for men and women dating. So I p… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/09/23 07:01 AM |
| 2 | CMV : If you’re the guy she had to lower her “unrealistic” standards for the you’re forever on thin iceI was waiting to find someone saying this! I totally agree. I’ve been in this situation a few times now. You just cannot force yourself to be attracted to them. Its visceral. I’ve decided it’s better to remain single. Very little hope of finding a good relationship now. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/09/23 06:51 AM |

| 2 | CMV : If you’re the guy she had to lower her “unrealistic” standards for the you’re forever on thin iceI’ve had this same feeling for women I’ve been with, just saying. I’ve learnt now that I should never be forcing myself to like someone. It never works. It’s either there or it isn’t. If one is unsure it’s better to remain single. I don’t see this getting much better in society because the truth is that men are worse now, and women are also worse now. So both sides aren’t satisfied by each other. We’re all just as fucked. Awful situation for everyone. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/09/23 06:43 AM |
| 1 | CMV : If you’re the guy she had to lower her “unrealistic” standards for the you’re forever on thin iceWomen respond to socialisation.

| 3 | CMV : If you’re the guy she had to lower her “unrealistic” standards for the you’re forever on thin iceThis is probably much more common from the female side. But it does appear to work the other way too. From what I’ve seen, when a very desirable guy lowers his standards to be with a woman, it can often result in him cheating on her, or being abusive. A general degeneration of society has left men and women lacking in the areas which the other sex find most attractive. So it affects the quality of everyone’s relationships. It may be unrelated but I do wonder. Would be interested to hear what oth… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/09/23 06:26 AM |

| 4 | As a woman why should I get married?Marriage in its current form is an L for men and a W for women. Always was and always will be. What you’re getting is legal commitment from a man for you and your offspring as your sexual market value decreases over time. And his is more likely to increase. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/09/23 06:50 AM |

| 1 | Why can't people just be honest with men when it comes to online dating? You aren't getting 0 matches because your pictures are bad, you're getting no matches because you're ugly.I don’t agree. Women love rich, famous and classy guys. These guys aren’t rich, famous or classy, so women see through it. Nice designer clothes, pictures showing them doing expensive, cool stuff and pictures showing social proof like standing in front of a crowd getting an award or winning an olympic gold medal or something would transform their number of matches. It wouldn’t matter how ugly they were. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/09/23 10:20 AM |

| 1 | Lost a High-Value ManHow do you explain people like Jack Parsons then? He was about as educated AND into “voodoo stuff” as a person could possibly be. Quite a lot of examples like that. | /r/RedPillWomen | 13/09/23 05:11 PM |
| -20 | Lost a High-Value ManI disagree wholeheartedly with this. I meet a lot of very educated people and they are often super esoteric in their views of the world. Even more perhaps than your normal person. I think the people that downplay any spiritual or religious stuff tend to be people who think they are very smart and might have a doctorate from a degree mill. But in actual fact they’re not truly intelligent in a broad sense. | /r/RedPillWomen | 13/09/23 02:32 PM |

| 1 | CMV: Men as a whole do not "gatekeep relationships", and it's not difficult for women to find men willing to have a relationshipThanks for sharing that. I’ve always wondered about it. Happy it’s working out for you. Perhaps society will change so it’s more accepting of non monogamy. Have you ever seen the movie, “Indecent proposal?” I think you might enjoy it :) | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/23 04:52 PM |
| 1 | CMV: Men as a whole do not "gatekeep relationships", and it's not difficult for women to find men willing to have a relationshipHey each to their own. If it works for you then no one can argue with you choosing to do it. You’re definitely right that many monogamous relationships aren’t working out to well anyway! This is a bit personal so you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to, but I’m just curious, have you yourself ever exercised your right to have a physical “entanglement” with someone other than your partner? Or has it been only him who’s done it so far? If you have, how did he feel when he heard about it? And… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/23 04:08 PM |
| 1 | CMV: Men as a whole do not "gatekeep relationships", and it's not difficult for women to find men willing to have a relationshipYou’ll find someone I’m sure, but it depends on you both being happy and loving yourself first before entering the relationship. Something I’m working on right now. Increasingly difficult in this day and age. Also, I don’t mean to be judgemental but the ENM thing is something I could never do if I actually care about a girl. I can’t actually imagine a worse pain than knowing a girl I love slept with someone else. That gives me nightmares honestly. Just the thought makes me feel uneasy. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/23 01:08 PM |

| 8 | CMV: Men as a whole do not "gatekeep relationships", and it's not difficult for women to find men willing to have a relationshipYeah this is definitely not true, I know from personal experience. I’ve dated a lot of women. Generally how things go is as follows, First when you you meet for the initial dates, if you find her attractive then all you can think about is how you’d love to sleep with her. And it’s like a cat and mouse game where you try and “woo” her to get her to feel comfortable enough to sleep with you. Slowly she gets more comfortable and usually by date 3 she will sleep with you.

| 2 | CMV: successful men do care about womens’ careersIt’s quite a lot for the UK. People don’t make as much as in America here. This is part of the problem for women though, because very few men now as truly “high value” by traditional standards. They may be high earners but even high earners aren’t able to accumulate a lot of resources for total financial security today. Most have mortgages still and car loans etc. The baby boomers just have all the real assets. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/09/23 06:32 AM |

It’s just that the more intelligent women I meet and relate to, almost always have a degree and a good job. I’m not even trying to filter people out, it just seems to be how things go.

| 1 | All else equal, young people are universally more attractiveI’m really trying to see women in this way, and look beyond looks. But it’s very hard. To be honest though the more I think of it, physical attractiveness is actually more about how a person carries themselves and their confidence.

| 1 | All else equal, young people are universally more attractiveJust sharing an example with you so you get my point here - What you’re saying here is the female equivalent of me (a man), saying, “I just want a girlfriend who loves me for me. She shouldn’t care that I live in my mums basement, eat potato chips and play video games all day. And that my life situation will never change because this is just how I want to live my life.” No woman would ever go for that. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/09/23 10:33 PM |

| 2 | All else equal, young people are universally more attractiveI feel the need to step in here because your view of men is wrong and it will hinder you. The fact that we go for youth and fertility isn’t such a bad thing. We won’t always just trade you in for a younger model when you get older, because of wife goggles.

| 1 | All else equal, young people are universally more attractiveI’m starting to think that women are much more susceptible to socialisation than men.

But only with regards to their own sex. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/09/23 10:20 PM |

| 1 | All else equal, young people are universally more attractiveHonestly I think it’s just different for men and women. Just look at all the really well known male heart throbs in movies. They are almost always mid thirties when they are cast at a minimum.

| 5 | Is it true that a lot of guys are bitter about dating being better in their 30s?No, you can definitely learn. Women are extremely simple to understand. They have three fundamental drivers in long term mate selection (everything else is secondary); Does the person treat them well? Does the person have social status within the context that woman predominantly operates? Does the person have resources? If you have these three qualities you’ll have women throwing themselves at you and they will (literally) do anything for you. You basically can’t do anything wrong at that point.… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/08/23 03:34 PM |

| 10 | Is the gender war mostly zero sum?These are very valid points. Very kind of you to take the time to share these links. Perhaps you guys are right. Maybe men have lost a lot more ground to women now. To be fair I asked my mum about this and she did say she believes men have an objectively harder time in society now than women do. Which surprised me. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/08/23 02:59 PM |
| -6 | Is the gender war mostly zero sum?For most of human history this was probably the case. But with AI etc. quickly advancing, I’m not sure it will be true anymore.

| 3 | Is the gender war mostly zero sum?Yeah but I see an equally strong ultra progressive wave happening too. I don’t really care for labels but if I’m honest with myself I lean more traditionally progressive in almost every way. But I consider every side of the argument and accept that I may be wrong and the society I want may not be the society others want. To me it seems like everything is getting more and more radical on both sides. And the “warfare” is getting more brutal and violent. Both physically and emotionally. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/08/23 02:48 PM |

| 0 | Is the gender war mostly zero sum?Definition of war is armed conflict between countries or groups within countries. The conflict is everywhere and the armaments are social media, online dating profiles, divorce laws, physical bodies… It’s a war for sure. Also why are sex and babies viewed as universally good. My intuition says they are as well but maybe that’s something which needs to be proven. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/08/23 02:27 PM |

I mean, is there any data on how many people are in relationships in which both sides believe they are beneficial to them? It’s not so much about being opposed to the entire other sex.

It’s sad to talk about it in terms of “power” but really that’s what it is. Whichever person has more options has more power, whether they want it or not. It’s up to that individual to wield that power in an ethical way.

I have literally hundreds of matches on hinge and I get fast matches with attractive, well educated girls in any city I go to. I’ve rejected so many women I’ve lost count.

| 2 | Are women really not able to love unconditionally?Great comment. The only difference in my own thinking is that if you truly love someone you won’t allow them to hurt or abuse you. Because ultimately when they do that they are hurting themselves. Therefore an expression of true love in that scenario might be to leave them. For example I could still love someone and leave them because I know it’s in their best interests that I leave them. This for me is unconditional love. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/02/23 04:28 PM |
| 2 | Are women really not able to love unconditionally?Totally get what you’re saying here but I just question whether it’s really true that women are more likely to leave. I know statistically that they leave relationships more but there are so many confounding variables it’s really hard to draw conclusions from that. I’ve just seen and heard enough cases of women in my own life staying with men under horrendous circumstances, that it makes me doubt this stuff about women being more likely to leave. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/02/23 04:23 PM |

I would hazard a guess that it's because their whole lives they've just been treated like a piece of meat and not a real person. Impossible to know whether a guy is into you because of your personality or not. Not to mention the types of guys who have the confidence to approach them are probably assholes and heartbreakers/f-boys.
