| – | Genuine question , what do men get out of this sub or subs similar to this.I enjoy discussions of sex, dating, and relationships, mainly. Seeing different perspectives is also good for broadening my worldview. However, as good as it can be to have dialogue around dating, I do think there should be some understanding men should have about becoming more attractive to the opposite sex and being able to better relate to and with them. This is what would be good for men, especially those who struggle. ... I know some would say this isn't an advice sub, though. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/01/26 09:51 PM |
| 1 | How come men are so comfortable in their own skin ?Hmmm ... I'd say that not every man is comfortable in his own skin. Truthfully, body image issues are quite common among men, they just haven't been vocalized until recently. Here's one article which discusses it: https://www.newportinstitute.com/resources/co-occurring-disorders/male-body-issues/ As a man who is comfortable in my own skin, it was something I had to work for. I used to be pudgy as a kid, then thin as a rail in my teens/early twenties. It wasn't until I started eating more protein… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/01/26 02:38 PM |
| 2 | 🤔 Quick question for the Guys in This Sub: How Many of you Are Actually in a Relationship? 👀Currently single. Have had a couple of relationships in the past. Most of my encounters with women lately have been short-term and/or nonmonogamous. I used to be red pill some years ago. Some info, particularly that of self-improvement, is useful. However, the misogyny and various -isms and -phobias turned me off. That, and some red pill relationship views can be quite cynical and devoid of nuance. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/12/25 01:49 PM |
| 6 | Slut Paradox: Men don’t wanna wife sluts, but are sluts the ladies who genuinely like men?Some men don't have an issue marrying women who may have a "promiscuous" past. That word is subjective; what one man may view that way, another won't. Depends on the person speaking. If I may make a somewhat bolder assertion, a number of men are averse to forming relationships with women who are overly anxious about or negative towards sexual activity. One can infer women who may be "sluts" are more sex positive, which is a trait quite a few men want. It isn't so much that the "sluts" win, per s… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/12/25 02:50 PM |
| – | What romantic gestures would you like to receive from a person you're dating?Believe it or not, if a woman shows up on time or even early, she's already starting with some points on the board. That shows me she regards my time as highly as she does her own. Also, I like her to know and partake in things I enjoy. For example, I like bodybuilding, music (hip-hop and R&B), and some video games. She doesn't have to be an NPC/IFBB pro competitor who knows every rap and R&B lyric who can win EVO, but go to the gym, listen to music, and play some games with me. That's about it. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/12/25 11:21 AM |
| – | Men, would you date a woman that’s expressed she’d never pay for anything?My ideal relationship would be one where both parties work and financially contribute. It's unlikely I would date a woman who wouldn't pay for anything at all. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/12/25 08:47 AM |
| 2 | Men, could you go without love if all other traditional desires were met?I'd say no. While that offer seems enticing on the surface, I'd prefer a woman who does the aforementioned things because she has genuine romantic interest in me, as opposed to doing them based on what I can do for her. Also, what happens if, in the scenario you mentioned, I can no longer provide the lifestyle she's accustomed to? What if I were to lose half of my income? Would she still give me all of those things? Reduce the frequency or quality? Leave altogether? ... Nothing is certain, but t… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/12/25 02:28 PM |
| 1 | Men, what actually motivates you to be romantic towards a woman?I'm almost always willing to do romantic gestures, such as writing poetry, remembering birthdays/anniversaries and buying gifts, cooking dinner for them, going on dates, or any other "couples" activities for a woman I'm interested in romantically. It may not be on the first date, but I'm not one to shy away from romance if I have my heart set on a woman, and she has either reciprocated my expressed interest or been very overt in her own romantic intentions towards me. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/12/25 02:27 PM |
| 2 | Expecting your date to state their ultimate intentions with you on day 1 is WILDLY unrealistic.I've said this in a different topic, but I firmly assert men need to be honest and upfront about their interests, especially as it pertains to casual sex. You may not know if you're compatible with someone for a long term, monogamous relationship if you're looking for one (and I can see that requiring more extensive vetting), but you do know if you aren't looking for anything serious, and that should be communicated clearly and straightforwardly. If that woman rejects you, so what? You save your… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/11/25 07:30 PM |
| 2 | Men should NOT be so forthcoming or honest about their intentions despite how much women claim they shouldSo, you're saying to be more indirect, or as Alan Roger Currie would say, Mode Two? Only reveal your intentions when you're certain they'll be reciprocated? That can work, but there are problems with that: One, if you spend time with a woman and eventually tell her you want casual sex and she declines, you've wasted valuable time. Two, if you become intimate with a woman and reveal you only wanted to hookup a ways in and she wanted something serious, technically ... you didn't allow her to give … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/11/25 07:20 PM |
| 5 | Most women date men out of convenience and not because they actually like themThis might be true for some women; i.e, those who would prefer to be partnered than single, but in more recent years, I believe a growing number of women are choosing to be unpartnered instead of settle. This is likely for a number of reasons, but many may not want what they perceive to be mediocre romance. Some may be queer (more of Gen Z identifies as such). I'm using what's mentioned here for my claims. To be fair, I don't think this is a problem. If women are choosing not to settle for men, … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/11/25 06:04 PM |
| 10 | Q4M: what makes a woman not marriage material?I can't speak for all men, but for me, lack of discipline and consistency would be a trait which disqualifies a woman for marriage or serious relationships. If she doesn't seem to be able to stick to anything and rejects established structure, that could be an issue. I have to ask, though: why is getting married your only goal in life? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/11/25 08:49 PM |
| 1 | if men dislike high maintenance women then how come they are still pursuing them?My guess would be some men genuinely don't like high-maintenance women (not into or indifferent towards various beauty treatments or procedures). They may not like some, most, or all of the things you mentioned in the third paragraph of your post. I'm sure plenty of men would be fine with dating a high-maintenance woman if they didn't have to pay for anything, though. I'm sure there are plenty of men who expect a woman to be "glammed up," but he wants her to do it on her own dime. Perhaps that's… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/11/25 06:20 PM |
| 1 | What options do high income women have?Who should high-earning women date? Whomever they're attracted to and enjoy being around. I can't and don't speak for all men, but I wouldn't be resentful of a woman who earns more than me, even if it was double to dectuple my salary. If she wanted me to stay home with any children we'd have, I would have no problem being a housedad/stay-at-home-husband. I'd have a clean house and hot meal ready when she returned from work if she needed it. No issues here. Where I would be resentful is if both o… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/10/25 01:25 PM |
| 2 | What piss you or please you the most about dating and male-female dynamics?What I like about dating nowadays: people are, to some extent, free to choose to pursue whatever types of relationships they want. Short-term non-monogamy, short-term monogamy, long-term non-monogamy, or long-term monogamy are all available to pursue. I also like that both men and women, generally speaking, are able to choose to date those who they generally like and are attracted to. This is especially true for women, who may have had to sacrifice compatibility for stability, which is a choice … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/10/25 02:04 PM |
| 1 | Q4M: Be honest - wouldn't you feel harassed if a woman told you to smile?No, not really. I'd likely do as she asked. It has happened before once or twice to me, surprisingly. That said, I understand why women feel the way they do when random men tell them to do so. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/10/25 05:44 PM |
| 1 | Q4M: Your age-appropriate date has a collection of romance novels, fanfiction, and Disney Princess stuff. Red flag? Or no big deal?I think it depends on what it is. It would be hypocritical of me to judge; I like fighting games, JRPGS, anime/manga, and other nerdy activities which I know a lot of women don't like. Even being into bodybuilding and fitness could be a red flag for some women. There might be some issues I have (more so with the reality TV), but in general, it isn't a problem. More a yellow flag, if that. (The fanfiction might be interesting, though. I'd read what the hypothetical woman wrote--I enjoy writing. T… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/10/25 05:05 PM |
| 1 | What is your ideal partner like?Not red pill, but since you've opened up the question to all men, I'll contribute if I may. I''m not too sure about femininity, to be honest. I'm not too big on traditional gender roles. Do you mean in appearance and style? Demeanor? Hobbies? Aside from consistent and/or frequent sexual intimacy (this is somewhat obvious, haha) along with an overall healthy attitude towards sexuality, I would love to have a woman who shares the load, so to speak. Both of us would contribute to household expenses… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/10/25 06:51 PM |
| 6 | Men want women to settle for themI don't believe that most men want that, at least I don't. I can't speak for all men, but I would want a woman to settle with me as opposed to for me. The former implies genuine attraction and interest, the latter does not. There's validity to your premise, but I think the "you should lower your standards" is really for women who are having difficulty getting men to commit and are thus unpartnered. One possibility (albeit not the only one) is that such a woman is dating men who are reluctant to … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/09/25 06:45 PM |
| 1 | Q4M: when was the last time you were too intimidated by a woman's beauty to approach?This would have been over ten years ago, when I saw a woman who was in great shape and very well-dressed (tall high heels, pencil skirt, hair done, etc.) walking in the grocery store. I wanted to talk to her and was actually about it, but for some reason, I froze up. Still kicking myself about it even a decade later. With respect to the YouTube link, I have done number three most often. In my less-confident days, I would look a woman I found attractive and make frequent eye contact with her, but… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/09/25 01:24 PM |
| 1 | Self-Improvement will NOT improve your attractiveness to womenRespectfully, I would disagree. Self-improvement encompasses many areas. Therapy is one of them, and I do believe that if a man has some sort of mental health issues or unresolved traumas, going through that may improve a man's long-term desirability. If given the choice between a man who has dealt with issues versus one who hasn't, I'm sure most women will choose the former. Most men tend to mean self-improvement in the context of regular exercise, which will definitely make men more desirable … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/09/25 01:28 PM |
| 38 | Men who want casual sex, why women should want that?I can't speak for other men, but I would prioritize a woman's enjoyment if she chooses to have (casual) sex with me. I also do not believe in slut-shaming and criticize men who do it. If a woman does something with me outside the confines of a serious relationship or marriage, and she's deserving of castigation, then I am as well. The only women who should have casual sex are the women who want to have it, which is what's already happening in the real world. I don't encourage women who have no i… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/09/25 01:27 PM |
| 15 | People angry at the term “Emotional Labor” have never cared for people.I've seen the term "emotional labor" floating around. I Googled it, and the first definition was: "The mental activity required to manage or perform the routine tasks necessary for maintaining relationships and ensuring smooth running of a household or process, typically regarded as an unappreciated or unacknowledged burden borne disproportionately by women." Is this your definition of that term? If not, how does your definition differ? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/08/25 01:42 PM |
| – | Did your previous girlfriends, or your current ones offer gifts?Sadly, I haven't had a woman buy me gifts, though I haven't spent much money either. Some nice things here and there, but I haven't broken the bank. I have had some of the women whom I've been serious about sing for me and leave songs on voicemail, though, which is nice. I don't usually require/expect women to buy gifts for me though; I don't think most women know what I really like. Bizarrely enough, the women whom I've had casual encounters with have done things like that, and have given massa… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/08/25 02:29 PM |
| 2 | Men: tell me about your fatherI didn't know my father very well. He was a funny guy on the occasions he'd visit, and from what my mother says, he was intelligent, but not hardworking. He bounced from job to job for a number of reasons, even being a househusband a few times. My mother did say that when she was working, and he wasn't, he did make sure the house was clean, and she had a hot meal ready when she got home on most occasions. He had a drinking problem, though, which was the main factor in why my mother left him (he … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/08/25 02:37 PM |
| 47 | Why do so many conservative men try to get with liberal women and change them? Why not just pursue conservative women from the jump ?“The way my mother always explained it, the traditional man wants a woman to be subservient, but he never falls in love with subservient women. He’s attracted to independent women. 'He’s like an exotic bird collector,' she said. 'He only wants a woman who is free because his dream is to put her in a cage.' --Trevor Noah There's some validity to this. Some men do make romantic and sexual decisions based on ego, and I think this may be more pronounced as men get older. This doesn't apply to all me… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/08/25 02:23 PM |
| 3 | Are Women Really Overlooking Good Men—Or Are They Just Not ThereYou asked a question, but based on the tone of your post, it doesn't seem as though you're looking for an answer. However, I'll attempt to respond. If we look at it from one, more positive angle, I think that some women probably ignore those good men because they may not be attracted to them. It is possible that women could understand a man is good, but they may not feel the spark (read: find him sexually attractive). Alternatively, they may not be compatible in some other way, an example would … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 31/07/25 03:16 PM |
| 6 | Should women be “giving guys a chance”?It's a bit odd for a man to say, but I do not believe that women should "give guys a chance," or date men who they aren't really attracted to. My reason is that most men complain about disparate treatment in romantic relationships, or as some men might phrase it, "they don't want to pay full price for when someone else gets it for 50% off." I believe that happens because some women date men they aren't strongly attracted to (settling). If a woman has a "type," I think she should stick with that … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/07/25 03:11 PM |
| 9 | Those of you 30+ and are/were single at this age: did you start getting "flooded with attention" the moment you turned 30?I wouldn't say "flooded," but I have gotten more, though this also coincides with years of working out, dressing better, touching grass, and getting rid of toxic, limiting, and pessimistic beliefs, which started in my mid 20s. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/07/25 05:46 PM |
| 2 | What is your MBTI type? - and other mbti nerderyI took the tests and got INTJ on both of them. That sounds about right | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/07/25 09:59 AM |
| 3 | Q4M: If you only got 80% of your ideal traits in a mate... You would view that as settling, right?Absolutely not; that's a big W, in my opinion. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/06/25 06:39 PM |
| 1 | What are your thoughts on those in the sex industry/OF models? (All welcome and encouraged to contribute)In a capitalist world, people have to make money the best way they can. For some, that can mean sex work. My issue with it is that it's largely illegal in the USA, except for certain rural counties in Nevada where legal brothels exist. In parts of the world where sex work is legal and/or decriminalized, there's no issue as long as all parties involved are consenting, protecting themselves, and following all rules involved. I don't have an issue with online sex work such as OF; I just don't spend… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/06/25 02:51 PM |
| 12 | CMV: age gaps larger than ½ your age +7 should be illegalThe "prefontal cortex at 25" thing has, for the most part, faced a lot of scrutiny. This is one such article that talks about it: https://slate.com/technology/2022/11/brain-development-25-year-old-mature-myth.html There are a lot of unfortunate implications if we follow that rule. As discussed in the above article, if someone's prefontal cortex isn't developed until 25, does that mean that trans people should have to wait until then to receive hormones or surgeries? And that's just one example. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/06/25 02:45 PM |
| – | How often are men dating conservative extremist or far right wing women while having progressive or leftist values and views themselves?I haven't seen much of this at all, but then again, I live in a major city. I would assume that most of those women live in the 'burbs. The sole time I see them would be the women who are in the pro-life organizations, and they're interesting, to say the least. That, and they probably aren't that interest in dating men of color. I can't see any of those conservative extremist types on the arms of a black man, let alone a left-leaning one. It would be ... odd. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/06/25 10:26 PM |
