| 0 | Men on dating websites shouldn't have the option to swipe on or like profilesI know plenty of people who did that and are now married. As annoying as it is for some, this is the realistic way to get some sort of advantage to be seen when the argorithm doesn't help you. Men akready have low chances on dating apps, if they had no choice in the matter, most men would never see a recomandation for years...or never. As for hooking up, I 100% support any trick to make you visible, who cares about compatibility? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/04/26 01:59 AM |
| -2 | Men are not protectors. Women are.Men are natural, biological protectors. But the trait of wanting to protect ISN'T UNCONDITIONAL. Yes, obviously a man who has nothing to protect is not willing to make any sacrifices, unless it comes with actual physical or legal obligation. Values can be true and still be conditional. This "selfless protector" bs is a fantasy, nobody in their right mind makes any sacrifices without a trade-off. I do agree that some men need to learn how to stand up for the people in their lives, but it's unfair… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/04/26 03:14 PM |
| -2 | How do you persuade boys and men to drop Red Pill when so much of women’s dating discourse demands 666: ‘6 figures, 6 pack, 6 ft’? It’s the elephant in the room.They've been together since middle school. After I was born, she started cheating on my dad with a wealthy ex-drug dealer. The dude eventually left her, and my mom begged my dad to stay with her, but things got worse from there. My dad also naturally became more obsessed with making more money, with aking on stoic role models, treating all women like gold diggers. As for my own personal experiences, I have never met a woman irl willing to date below 5'10 - 6'. | /r/ExRedPill | 22/03/26 07:30 PM |

If you woke up as a straight woman, what kind of partner would you go for?If I was I woman, I would want someone kind, sweet, romantic...high-libido...with a mix of traditional and modern roles. I care about common values, but hobbies may differ. I would may or may not work out, but I would preffer a chubby man. The more of a nerd he would be the better.

Women do not understand that romantic relationships are existentially validating for men, and friendships do not give you the emotional and physical needs that aren't met.

Having a child is a gigantic responsibility; it doesn't take a genius to realize why not many men would want that, along with that child not being yours and feeling like you have to ease your way from "stranger" to "acceptable" into a family that isn't even yours.

But when it comes to big decisions, men are usually the ones to take the lead (and their partners expect that from them). What qualifies him?

| -1 | Why are men obsessed with “submissive”women?Men, in general, do not care about submission. It's more about women having a mindset of simplicity and gratitude, and having the ability of letting their partner to lead in complex situations. The only men who care about submission to a deeper extent are the very religious ones, or the ones who want stable gender-conforming duties because that is the norm in their lives.

It’s about what you’re attracted to.It's not about calculation, it's about making a realistic choice in the "playing field" and not making it harder or impossible for everyone else.

To explain big picture and choice awareness: Men, in general, do not look at dating from a personal perspective, they look at it from a general male perspective.

Firstly, you're thinking about it from a limiting and unfair access to preference standpoint, but not about how your thinking actually affects others.

| – | Why don’t men have a body positivity movement?I agree. The thing is, if one guy feels insecure about being a "short king" because women make comments on his height or can't get a single date, then the opinions of other men isn't gonna help with anything. What would really help is actually getting positive reactions from women or having dates that prove he's attractive. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/03/26 11:20 AM |

An overweight woman calling herself hot isn't something that would cause an issue or a "need to comment".

| 1 | A lot of guys here endlessly whine about dating, but only give the most lukewarm effort into actually doing itYou're missing the point of what I am saying. It's not about not putting effort, it's about putting a dangerous ammount of effort in order to be good enough for someone who has never had to go through this. Also, just because someone is hot enough to jack off to, that doesn't make them relationship material. All the things you said "hypothetically" are things that I would want in a partner. To be themselves, messy, and imperfectly beautiful. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/02/26 07:15 PM |

Another important fact is the personality of the guy: a f-boy will obviously take advantage of his options; while decent guys with options do put more effort and interest, but if things go south they don't really have to worry about when or if they will meet someone else.

| – | Male sexuality just seems borderline antisocial to meNovelty and sexual variety is caused by boredom - in some men(either with their sex life or other non-related issues); or too much sexual novelty and variety BEFORE settling down - in women. The attraction to younger women is probably some fetish tied to virility, inexperience, sexual freedom, and their youth - that some old guys have. Also, what kind of men you talk to that only prefer 18-22 women? Most guys want a girl the same age, or 3-5 years up or below.

The reason why this crisis is growing is because: 1. It really is a serious, life-or-death problem; 2. Funn… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/12/25 07:56 AM |
| 3 | The “male loneliness epidemic” is not primarily caused by the lack of female companionship or sex, and blaming it on women is a mistake that makes things worseI will proceed to disagree with you and also disagree with people who blame it on the economy or technology. This is my take as a non-American on the Male Loneliness Pandemic: Firstly, there is no "one source" of loneliness, some lack friends, some lack a partner, some lack both. Which brings me to my second point; loneliness in most men has nothing to do with inherently lacking social networks, it has to do with lacking what you want. Yes, a guy who has poor family ties, few or no friends, but … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/12/25 07:17 AM |
| – | Nothing is worse then men claiming women are hypergamous and useless meanwhile married to a millionare wifes.Who the hell is married to millionaire wives, and how do I get myself one?!? Ok, leaving the joke aside...what you are talking about is waaaay out of general reality. "In plain and simple terms the best thing a women can offer a man is an easy pocket p*ssy and a ATM machine" - I am pretty sure there is a distinct and small number of middle-to-higher class Americans who deal with such issues. In the rest of the country AND the rest of the world, men don't even have a chance to date, and many die … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/12/25 09:27 PM |
| 1 | Women accept men’s uncomfortable truths, while many men turn normal female behavior into a pathologyTrue, they are both tied to biology, but you cannot expect the same treatment if what you do is inherently harder/almost impossible to navigate than the other, from a third-person perspective. The main goal is dating, so both situations affect both parties at the same time. Men being difficult for women makes dating difficult for everybody. So women making dating almost impossible...does it for everybody. Another important point that I forgot to mention is that - women base their desire fully on… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/12/25 06:46 AM |
| 2 | Women accept men’s uncomfortable truths, while many men turn normal female behavior into a pathologyThis is going to be long, but I will try to touch every point you made. In terms of dating, as fucked up and disgusting the things you brought up are, they are not really the same...except the doing everything for sex part, that can happen a lot. I think a big difference between "certain thruths" is that, as you said, women learn to navigate between them when it comes to men(talking specifically about dating). However, I believe that what women want and expect is a bit more on the realm of impos… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/12/25 01:57 AM |
| 2 | No one will force you to pay for dates if you don't want toWhether you find desperstion unattractive or not, that's not going to change anything. People who starve will always beg for food, morally wrong or not. The other two, I completely agree, but I am not talking about dating from the perspective of someone who acts like that. I am talking about the average guy who struggles with dating and barely has any dates. And also about how OP's advice is "if you don't want women to do so or think so, look for someone who fits you", which is not realistic. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/12/25 08:39 PM |
| 1 | No one will force you to pay for dates if you don't want to?? I don't really get what your point is. Yes...? As long as a woman likes me(for example), that is all that matters. What's wrong with that? And again, YES, that is how dating is for most men who don't have many choices...or any choices. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/12/25 06:31 PM |
| 0 | No one will force you to pay for dates if you don't want to As in 'you don't get to have someone who's preferences or ideals match yours(the man). You date whoever is willing to date you.' In response to OP's suggestion that it is possible/achievable for the average guy to find someone who fits his thinking/preferences, just because he want to. Since you're nitpicking so much, something tells me that you find yourself in the "whatever a man can get" crowd. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/12/25 06:13 PM |
| 0 | No one will force you to pay for dates if you don't want toReally...? 😒 The best thing you could've come up with is making it an objectification issue...? "Anything" as in: dates, relationships, intimacy. Don't be a Karen and look for issues that aren't there. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/12/25 05:23 PM |
| 5 | No one will force you to pay for dates if you don't want toImagine thinking that most men in today's world have a choice on who they want to date... Most guys date what they can get, IF they get anything. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/12/25 04:40 PM |
| 1 | Women consider it a "betrayal" when an ostensibly platonic male friend expresses romantic interest in them ONLY IF they're not interested in him, as wellI used to agree with women that trying to be friends first, only to date someone is unfair, since you make her deal with something she didn't sign up for. But if you really think about it, it's a bit childish to believe so. Women may find it annoying or feel betrayed when a guy has feelings for her when she doesn't. But if the roles are reversed, a woman will rarely confess that, and just crush on the guy until HE makes a move. Like...how the hell do you expect guys to be genuine friends with yo… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/12/25 06:31 PM |
| 2 | Every woman should have high standards. Thats never a bad thing.I disagree with this Whoooole thing to unsurmountable lengths. Hi, I am also a man with plenty of women in my close circles that I care about and would do anything to protect. However, society favors women, no matter what anyone has to say. I have seen it destroy many men, including my dad, and have seen dating drain and kill my best friend. Firstly, women having high standards has always been this way, because they used to be "the prize" while the men were taught to chase and impress. That, how… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/12/25 07:30 AM |
| 1 | Even if a research proved tomorrow that women's standards are 110% delusional they are still entitled to itI hate how both men and women seem to not realize that being so stupidly stubborn and thinking like this has nothing to do with agency, self-respect, etc. Yes, your unrealistic preferences do undervalue the people around you. Men are not different from each other, neither are women. A loud and relatable feeling or statement can become a pattern, which can become the unspoken norm. Same is for men. If you encourage a shallow behaviour for the sake of agecy, you are creating a toxic stereotype. Wh… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/12/25 05:26 AM |

| – | Please stop telling men they are single because they lack a social life or have bad social skillsYep. I also know and have seen all types of girls have boyfriends and hookups, even junkies. But part of that issue is still the men's fault. We are the ones who go after any available girl no matter her circumstance and give them plenty of romantic(and especially sexual) possibilities, without them feeling like they have to reciprocate. On the other hand, the general advice average women give is unhelpful and unfair in comparison.

| 1 | Men in college and early 20s should focus more on getting really good at sex than being a good relationship material to have more dating success and even relationship success a bit.That's a veeery big stretch. 😅 Being abused or assaulted as a woman isn't a common thing where I am from. I only know two women who have been through that, and one of them is my mom. However, if you're reffering to the paying for sex part, I am pretty confident in what I am saying. I have a varied group of friends and peers, from marrird guys to incels. I watch or participate in debates themed on different sensitive subjects, like "Should assisted suicide be legalized and supported?", "Pro-choic… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/12/25 07:18 AM |
| 1 | Men in college and early 20s should focus more on getting really good at sex than being a good relationship material to have more dating success and even relationship success a bit.I don't doubt that you feel that way, or that even the men who engage with you feel that way. As a guy, I have my own experiences and knowledge and the experiences of those that I know, while you have yours. Let's just say that paying is fulfilling to some more than the rest. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/12/25 12:43 AM |
| 1 | Men in college and early 20s should focus more on getting really good at sex than being a good relationship material to have more dating success and even relationship success a bit.I am not talking about fetishes or people who have nothing else to offer BUT money. I have never met a guy who would happily pay for sex, unless he is a virgin who is genuinely curious about the act of it, or an old guy who is dealing with a sexless marriage. Men want to be loved and desired, if they can't have both, at least to be desired. If a guy feels desired BECAUSE he is paying for sex to a random escort or so...that's a fetish. Also...no offense. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/12/25 12:25 AM |
| 2 | Men in college and early 20s should focus more on getting really good at sex than being a good relationship material to have more dating success and even relationship success a bit.True...but there is also a difference between relationship sex, hookup/fwb sex, and paid sex. In relationships you have intimacy and desire, in hookups you at least feel desired, paid sex means nothing. No matter how detached some men talk about sex, it's still important for them to feel at least desired. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/12/25 11:54 PM |
| 1 | Men rarely if ever care about birthrates and childbearing irlSexlessness or not, it's still an issue. As a guy, I don't care about brirthrates, true, but I do care about wanting to be a good parent if I ever get the chance. I think that there are many dads who contribute very little or leave, but there are even more who care. It's just that men rarely care or want to have children unless it's an important thing for their partner. That's where those who can handle it and those who can't are spread apart. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/12/25 11:24 PM |

No fish or car pics, only at the beach, parks, or from some vacation spots + 1 group photo. We coppied the same thing across Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge.

| 1 | It doesn't make sense to ask women to lower their standardsFrom what I've seen, the problem starts with: People don't know what "standards" are. Standards are personality traits(like respect, loyalty, patience) or life goals(to be religious, family-oriented, fitness or sports oriented). Preferences(dark-haired, tall, etc.) are the real issue, because often times women ask for things that are very improbable to have or should not feel entitled to. It's completely fine and healthy to have standards(traits, goals), but preferences are very shallow, no matt… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/12/25 07:26 PM |

We kinda avoid the subject of relationships because things tend to get heated between those who drown and those who are dying of thirst.

I am 24, in college, with a flexible job. I completely disagree with this, we shouldn't make things harder for ourselves just to work more, this should never be the goal as long as you make enough to keep a roof over your head.

| – | Women and sex are not your reward for working and contributing to societyOk...so much to unpack, but here we go before my train of thought leaves me: Men need less to live day by day. As in, they only need a place to sleep and some entertainment, which is why they don't put too much effort unless there is a goal or a reward. In this case, the reward would be love and intimacy. Despite sex and relationships being something meaningful for both genders; for men it's a sign of social normalcy or status, emotional and psychological maturity, and personal measurement of ca… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/09/25 03:32 PM |
| 1 | Anytime a woman is giving a dating advice for men, that advice only works for men who don't need it.I don't know how much I agree with the whole message, but yes, men shouldn't take all their dating advice from women. Moreover, you should NEVER take a woman's advice(or if you do and it doesn't work, don't feel bad) on how to deal with being single/loneliness. Women have more emotional self-sufficiency, different expectations, and different experiences that you will not be sble to relate to or integrate as a man.

For men, cheating is more traumatic rather than just broken trust. And yes, as a man you lose a whole lot more emotionally, psychologically and socially, which is why cheating causes more suicide attempts in men(my dad was one of them). At the end of the day, cheating affects everyone differently, but men have far more to lose.

Even good people are good for a reason, whether it's to be rewarded physically or by karma/God. Also, there are two reasons why good people hate assholes: 1.They try their best to do the right thing in order to get something, yet don't get it while the assholes get it easily.
