| 1 | Reducing dating to stats and attributes is an American thing.But the average height for men in Germany is 1,80m so in a way, not a completely crazy unobtainable standard set by women there? I don't say that I agree with it. I find it quite ridiculous to pick one partner just because he is 180-185 over another that is a better match allround but "only" 174-179. Unfortunately, some people are shallow :/ | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/04/26 03:11 PM |
| 1 | Male FeministI agree. As a woman, the role he tries to squeeze me into in the text is suffocating, but also, with his examples of what he "provides" as a man, it's just so reductive. I could replace him with a step-ladder, a dull knife to open any tight jars or other simple things I am fully capable of just by being an adult. It's sad and my boyfriend is so much more to me than any of those thing. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/04/26 02:53 PM |
| 3 | There is a Taboo Against Making Statements Which Are Unflattering to Women as a Group; This Discussion Board is Not Evidence to the ContraryThat argument doesn’t hold up and reads as pretty bad faith. Pointing to Brown or claiming there were all-women universities completely misses the broader historical reality. Those institutions existed because most universities simply didn’t admit women or only started doing so much later. For example, Brown University let women take degrees from 1891 in a separate college (Pembroke) but they didn’t admit women as regular undergraduates integrated with men until 1971. Yale and Princeton only beg… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/04/26 08:25 PM |
| 2 | There is a Taboo Against Making Statements Which Are Unflattering to Women as a Group; This Discussion Board is Not Evidence to the ContraryI don’t think I’m changing the subject, I think I’m disagreeing with your premise, and also with how you’re defining "taboo". I think you’re narrowing the discussion a bit too much. It’s not just a choice between "the taboo exists" or "is the taboo good". There’s also the question of whether what you’re calling a taboo is actually just normal pushback to how something is phrased. If people react negatively to a broad or context-free claim, that doesn’t necessarily mean the topic itself is forbid… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/04/26 03:47 PM |
| 3 | There is a Taboo Against Making Statements Which Are Unflattering to Women as a Group; This Discussion Board is Not Evidence to the ContraryI guess I just dont understand why you would have to re-frame it at all and not just have something more similar to my example be your first thought to write and therefore why this is an "issue" at all. With the state of the gender debate and how polarized it is, being clear about these kind of claims and including context is imo an important step to maybe close the gap a little bit. To your other examples: I see women criticized a lot in the media for all weird possible things (men too, and I d… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/04/26 03:32 PM |
| 3 | There is a Taboo Against Making Statements Which Are Unflattering to Women as a Group; This Discussion Board is Not Evidence to the ContraryIf you want it to land as thoughtful rather than dismissive, the key is to separate outcome from opportunity. You can acknowledge the pattern without implying superiority or ignoring context. There is a bunch of ways to say it. I will not deny there are some angry and argumentative people online that nitpick a lot, but for example, I would be fine with "Men are credited with the majority of well-known inventions, although that’s partly due to the fact that women weren’t given the same opportunit… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/04/26 03:16 PM |
| 1 | There is a Taboo Against Making Statements Which Are Unflattering to Women as a Group; This Discussion Board is Not Evidence to the ContraryWell, when one of your examples of "unflattering things about women" that you give here, like of all things you could have chosen as examples, this is where your mind went.... And the words you choose matters! It is either pure ignorance or misogyny or a good mix of both. "the vast majority of important inventions were made by men; or whatever, you had better follow it up with "but of course that's because of patriarchal oppression of women" no wonder you get push back. Again, your choice of wor… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/04/26 03:03 PM |
| 1 | What does it mean when she says "I don't want to ruin our friendship"You say you have been friends for 10 years and own a business together. She doesn't want to risk both your friendship and business by bringing romance into it? What if it goes bad? Will the business survive a breakup or is she suddenly a single mom without her job? Back to the friendship part. If you were a female friend, hanging out with her kid, baby sitting, talking about relationships would be totally normal, right? Now you caught feelings for her and suddenly this is an issue for you? And o… | /r/seduction | 29/10/24 10:55 AM |
| 1 | We talk about how to seduce a girl, but how about keeping her interested in the long run?I found this sub quite recently but from what I've seen so far, this topic absolutely needs more attention. Added my experience to show that even if someone did everything "right" on a date, sometimes it just doesn't go further and there is absolutely nothing wrong with them or their date for that. I like OP's question too. There is a big difference in what to look for when trying for casual hookups and long term. Hopefully there will be more good discussions on this on the sub. | /r/seduction | 07/08/24 09:22 AM |
| 1 | We talk about how to seduce a girl, but how about keeping her interested in the long run?I really like all your points but the one about lifestyle is so important, for me at least. When I was dating a while back, I met some really good guys that did not "make it" to a second/third date. Not because they were not attractive or they said anything wrong. It was simply that I was looking for long term and our lifestyles were completely out of sync. I could not picture the day-to-day routine of my life working out with them. Still wish them all the best and would have been open to stayin… | /r/seduction | 07/08/24 08:46 AM |
| 2 | Is there a hill that you would die on when it comes to standards for a relationship?Just pointing out a couple of reasons those examples you listed might mean a lot to someone else. Their partner is the one person they're with every day building a life together with. Being the breadwinner vs not makes a big impact on how much they work, how much they need to earn. That directly impacts everyday of their life with work-life balance, way of living etc. A woman's position on trans. What if they have kids and the kid turns out to be trans? Would they need to protect their kid from … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/04/24 07:52 AM |
| 1 | Q4M - Why do some men look down upon women who are single and child-free?I agree. We shouldn't be expected to, but unfortunately a lot of people do in fact expect it. I also said I would be open to it. I would be equally open to ask them to drop it if they were being rude about it. It's hard to get every detail across in a reddit comment :) | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/03/24 02:09 PM |
| 3 | Q4M - Why do some men look down upon women who are single and child-free?You said it would be more normal and relatable to say I would be open to have kids if xyz were true. I have a bunch of reasons for not having kids and I'm very secure in my choice. I'm not lonely at all. Neither my partner or I want children. My point is that saying that" I would want kids if xyz" would be a lie and I don't think I should be expected to lie just because I have made a less common life choice. How do you take that and jump to "not owing anyone anything"? I would be open to discuss… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/03/24 04:17 PM |
| 3 | Q4M - Why do some men look down upon women who are single and child-free?But I'm not open to kids for any reason. Why is it so hard for some people (referring now to fictional people at this event) to accept that others have different wants and needs than them? Why should I have to sit and lie to their face about my completely valid life choice? I think the understanding should be that people are different and it is not OK to push your own choices on people. If they say they don't want kids, and you want them, let it go. Easy as that, no? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/03/24 01:32 PM |
| – | Q4M - Why do some men look down upon women who are single and child-free?They probably feel like it’s a bit extreme and weird to not be able to consider it or consume in moderation. And this is why comparing being childfree with being vegan just doesn't work for me. I have considered children and made an active choice to not have them. Being childfree is about not bringing an entire human life into the world, and not comparable to if I would be OK to have some animal products at an event because they didn't have a vegan alternative... | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/03/24 01:13 PM |
