| 2 | Porn consumption is one of the biggest threats to empathy, connection, and love between men and womenAhhhh but id never say that it’s WRONG to eat a cupcake. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/09/24 10:24 PM |
| 2 | Porn consumption is one of the biggest threats to empathy, connection, and love between men and womenBut rape is still depicted. At least by the strict standards of modern people. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/09/24 10:22 PM |
| 3 | Porn consumption is one of the biggest threats to empathy, connection, and love between men and womenI feel like Mountain Dew is bad for you but I feel like it’s fine if you have one now and then. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/09/24 10:21 PM |
| 3 | Porn consumption is one of the biggest threats to empathy, connection, and love between men and womenI gotta disagree. I feel like the kinda themes in spicy books are exactly the same. It’s normalizing negative things. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/09/24 10:19 PM |
| 1 | Porn consumption is one of the biggest threats to empathy, connection, and love between men and womenOh please how much are you cranking down?!Enough to feel malnourished? That’s too much lol | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/09/24 10:16 PM |
| 1 | Porn consumption is one of the biggest threats to empathy, connection, and love between men and womenNo all that matters is that you ejaculate. Although I find it hard to believe the average dude could meet the suggested frequency without masturbation. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/09/24 10:15 PM |
| 3 | Porn consumption is one of the biggest threats to empathy, connection, and love between men and womenA quick google search refutes your position. At least according to Harvard. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/09/24 10:07 PM |
| 3 | Porn consumption is one of the biggest threats to empathy, connection, and love between men and womenOkay cool. Then I don’t truly disagree with you. I should challenge you though. How do you feel about erotic novels and the like? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/09/24 10:04 PM |
| 1 | Guys don't have to worry about being judged for having strong sexual desires.Like you said it’s not against the law. Yet, people are shamed for things that are perfectly legal all the time. That’s kinda my point, things like approaching a woman have been pathologized. Gentleman listen and say “okay, I won’t do that” con men say “great! Less competition” | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/09/24 10:00 PM |
| -1 | Porn consumption is one of the biggest threats to empathy, connection, and love between men and womenWhat about doctors who say you should jerk it like at least a couple times a week? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/09/24 09:38 PM |
| 1 | Guys don't have to worry about being judged for having strong sexual desires.Absolutely nothing. However, there is a group of people out there who would say it’s not okay to politely approach a woman in a myriad of contexts as if it’s “bothering” them. As long as you are polite, then shoot your shot. That’s my take. You are not a bad person for fancying that lady. In fact, there is a nonzero chance that she wants you to approach her. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/09/24 09:35 PM |
| – | Women will talk about male "Locker room talk" then go on to write a novel about their sex life to their friendsI have worked with predominantly older women my whole career. I’d call it locker room talk but they do it absolutely everywhere. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/09/24 08:03 PM |
| 1 | Guys don't have to worry about being judged for having strong sexual desires.Im not saying it’s more important or more accurate. Just illustrating the differing tone based on the situation. There is a resistance to telling men that it’s okay to flirt and pursue women. Seemingly because there is an assumption that most men are criminals. Otherwise why the hesitation? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/09/24 07:30 PM |
| 1 | The real pill that explains modern dating in the WestApologies, I’m not putting words in your mouth. I should have said “people” not “you”. Only pointing out the hypocrisy of those types of people. My position is that more fairness and more understanding is always good, and two wrongs don’t make a right. So I’ll not be forcing any girlfriends to clean the gutters because “generations of men have suffered cleaning the gutters” and I certainly wouldn’t take that position while also expecting all the other traditional bs. Because that would be unfair… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/09/24 07:03 PM |
| 1 | Guys don't have to worry about being judged for having strong sexual desires.Ever realize that most dating advice is about becoming so impressive and perfect? And very little about the actual interaction of flirting and escalation? I think that demonstrates the issue. Men are assumed to be so evil at their core that nobody will touch the topic with a ten foot pole. Just think about how advice changes when single vs in a relationship. Single guy isn’t having any sex, everyone tells him “don’t focus on that, focus on work and exercise” Married guy not having sex “your marr… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/09/24 06:48 PM |
| 2 | The real pill that explains modern dating in the WestAnd I’m saying that people need to confront their biases towards a traditional system. Shitting all over an entire sex, saying that patriarchy is bad, and then reminiscing and explicitly claiming to prefer that dynamic lacks intellectual integrity. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/09/24 06:28 PM |
| 1 | Being laid back and uninvested is not what makes men attractive, women are attracted to men who act like that because those men are already attractiveIt can intensify desire for sure but you gotta drum up that desire first, I reckon. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/09/24 06:06 PM |
| 1 | The fear of AF/BB is really about insecurity and validation.People want to deny that certain things are attractive. Sometimes being a little overconfident, controlling, or aloof are very stimulating. People will not encourage you to behave this way because it makes them feel icky to admit that it works. Handsome guys will have more luck putting on a mask that matches the bold masculine archetype than if they are always acting like a polite professional. I always joke that depending on your mood and the setting the same guy could be AF one day and BB the … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/09/24 05:59 PM |
| 4 | What advice would you give to your struggling son?Word. It’s also not common to hear people confirm those are positive indicators. This is really refreshing. I know that I personally was always taught to never read into these actions. However, I have run into women later in life that said “how come you never tried to talk to me, I always liked you” but I had my blinders on for fear of reading into something. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/09/24 05:19 PM |
| 2 | The real pill that explains modern dating in the WestI would argue that women aren’t “pickier” but their values have not shifted with culture. I understand why a lot of regular guys are frustrated by a lady in their exact socioeconomic situation looking down on them like a loser. I’m always confused by my successful lady friends lamenting their jobs and wishing they met a rich guy to sweep them off their feet. Complaining about guys with decent jobs as if they’re paupers who don’t deserve them. Like… shouldn’t you being Uber successful OPEN up you… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/09/24 05:10 PM |
| 5 | What advice would you give to your struggling son?Lawd this is so refreshing. I feel like nobody ever says this because it’s like taboo to tell a boy to flirt and escalate. It seems like people believe that every man is naturally evil at his core and can’t be trusted to respectfully communicate their desires. So we end up with guys like me just talking about the weather and asking what you do for work like an idiot. You can be an incredible guy, but the polite professional does not a Casanova make. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/09/24 04:59 PM |
| – | A lot of men who are chronically single get immediately rejected, not ghosted after they showed their characterI hear you. You are defending woman’s rights to sleep with whoever they prefer and to express themselves in that way without shame. That’s all I’m trying to say for men. The rhetoric you are participating in seems to perpetuate the idea that men are evil at their core and therefore should NOT be encouraged to have desires or communicate that desire. My initial response in this thread was pushing back on the idea that men who have a hard time getting laid are socially inept weirdos. I think it’s … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/09/24 04:49 PM |
| 5 | What advice would you give to your struggling son?What advice would you give him to specifically communicate his interest in a woman? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/09/24 04:10 PM |
| 4 | If you claim men are angry at women because women treat them badly, why is it hard to accept that the opposite is also true?Excellent point I’ll have to keep that in mind when I see angry people barfing their garbage opinions. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/09/24 08:25 PM |
| 23 | If you claim men are angry at women because women treat them badly, why is it hard to accept that the opposite is also true?I’ve always thought this was an interesting comparison. If you said “who is more likely to be a violent criminal, a man or a woman?” People would answer without batting an eye. But if you asked the same question about men of two different races all the sudden it’s politically incorrect to have an opinion at all. That’s strange. It’s okay to assume the worst about men in general but not in specific? Almost seems like it’s wrong to make those kinds of judgements. Period. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/09/24 07:44 PM |
| – | since women want innocent men to self blame and be responsible for the actions of the bad men they date, Should innocent men micromanage and control womens action in order to stop them from dating bad men even if it is against their will?Wow. Thank you for your thoughtful response. I think you can understand why this would be frustrating to men. A guy being ostensibly nice but is a little nervous is written off as a bad person who “thinks he deserves sex because he’s being kind” which may or may not be the case. On the other hand, giving the benefit of the doubt to a cocky, bold guy with a silk Cavalli shirt on who DEFINITELY thinks that if you touch his bottles in the bottle service area, or get on his boat, that he is entitled… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/09/24 06:44 PM |
| 10 | Women should not be shamed for having lots of options and living accordingly. It's their live and they have the right to date around and choose the best guy for them.So you think women might actually enjoy being pursued sexually for noncommittal relations? I thought that they hated that. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/09/24 06:19 PM |
| 2 | Men afraid of approaching women need to get over themselvesI agree but I do think that many men have been raised that you’re not supposed to “bother” women like that. Like somehow it’s wrong to express your desire, no matter how respectful you are. I would encourage you to consider this. Fuck. That. Bullshit. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/09/24 05:55 PM |
| – | since women want innocent men to self blame and be responsible for the actions of the bad men they date, Should innocent men micromanage and control womens action in order to stop them from dating bad men even if it is against their will?I’m trying to paint a picture of something that’s too good to be true but for some reason ladies can’t see it. Conveniently when it is shiny and cool and fun. Being a show off and a baller is notoriously a good way to get laid, and it’s “so hard to know what kind of person they are” vs you “know” that if a guy is kind, humble, and gentlemanly, that means he’s a slimy “nice guy” Do you see the hypocrisy? Also I looked up the definition and symptoms of narcissism. Symptoms include. Grandiose sense… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/09/24 05:30 PM |
| 9 | CMV: The friend zone goal post keeps movingI think so. Sometimes it really is just one sided romantic interest. However I have personally experienced this exact situation in a few different flavors. It just goes to show you that women are really suckers to their bias towards social proof. It’s like big tits for them. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/09/24 05:07 PM |
| 26 | CMV: The friend zone goal post keeps movingI wish you could experience feeling like a loser. Getting no play from the girl you have feelings for. Then boom you start dating someone else and magically she’s sitting in your lap, laughing at all your jokes. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/09/24 04:57 PM |
| – | since women want innocent men to self blame and be responsible for the actions of the bad men they date, Should innocent men micromanage and control womens action in order to stop them from dating bad men even if it is against their will?What about “women’s intuition” I’m always hearing about how women perceive kind guys as jerks who just want to get in their pants. Why won’t it work for playboys with a nice car? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/09/24 04:50 PM |
| 1 | To be successful at a SOCIAL interaction with another human (a.k.a. dating / relationship), SOCIAL skills are the most important thing. This is as obvious as the sky is blue, yet some people on this sub keep doubling / tripling down on the desperate lie that social skills are irrelevant.Both things are important. I always like to point out that “social skills” is quite broad. Being kind, polite and gentlemanly is a social skill. Being a good conman/used car salesman is also a social skill. That’s where I think a lot of people feel resentment. Telling someone that they have no social skills because they can’t get laid is disregarding the fact that they probably have friends and colleagues they get along great with. The social skill of pursuing women is closer to being a salesman… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/09/24 04:08 PM |
| – | You Can’t Argue your Way to Success in DatingWhat’s weird though is why can’t people recognize their biases? Are most people out here just lizard braining their whole life? Not gonna analyze your impulses? Just justify ME WANT THIS. I’d kill for a Mountain Dew and a bag of flamin hot Cheetos right now but I also know they’re not good for me. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/09/24 09:49 PM |
| – | You Can’t Argue your Way to Success in DatingCannot overstate the importance of that either. I had decent luck with passive game just out of sheer dumb luck because I’m in shape and handsome-ish. I maintain that game is important though if you want to maximize your potential. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/09/24 09:27 PM |
| – | You Can’t Argue your Way to Success in DatingLearn game. Period. I know, if you were raised to be a gentleman then that game seems strange and disingenuous, but it’s really the only way. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/09/24 09:10 PM |
| 7 | A lot of men who are chronically single get immediately rejected, not ghosted after they showed their characterI disagree. I think a lot of men in the millennial and later generations were raised with a lot of shame around their sexuality. Nobody told me that my sexuality was any kind of priority. If anything it was framed as being the lowest priority. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/09/24 09:06 PM |
| 11 | A lot of men who are chronically single get immediately rejected, not ghosted after they showed their characterI think there’s different categories of social aptitude. I think many men out there have great relationships with coworkers, friends, can talk to strangers etc. Flirting and romantic/sexual escalation, that’s a different kind of social skill. One very VERY few boys were encouraged to learn. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/09/24 07:27 PM |
| 1 | Is male anger towards women just a result of men not getting laid enough?Second this. I’ve had plenty of luck with women and frankly my successes are more frustrating than my failures. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/09/24 07:46 PM |
| 1 | Its "Old Fashioned" to expect your wife/Long term GF to do "household chores."While I agree. I think fairness is more important than what is “traditional gender roles”. Furthermore, I think there is a phenomenon out there of women holding men to traditional gender roles. I don’t think men really care. Men don’t expect women to cook and clean anymore. Women absolutely care if you don’t match the typical man archetype. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/09/24 07:35 PM |
| 1 | By evolutionary logic, we wouldn’t have evolved to be attracted to things about people that they can controlThe lens of evolutionary psychology is only good for analyzing behavior like being thirsty or being afraid of something. Because culture changes so much in a short time scale many behaviors that people make claims about can not be analyzed with an evolutionary lens. Most behaviors are not ubiquitous enough or long lasting enough. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/09/24 05:53 PM |
