1	The "Fisherman" analogy: Explained that doesn't make them "bad", it just means that they have shortcomings but when the first two reasons for you using an analogy don't actually relate to the thing that you're comparing it to, then it seems pretty pointless	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/03/19 10:12 PM
7	Q4W: Why do women have so little empathy for men who don't make the first move? Are you saying that women don't make the first move because they lack empathy for men? They don't make the first move because they don't have to. Why don't men get screened for breast cancer? Is it because they're sexist?	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/03/19 02:24 AM
1	The "Fisherman" analogy: Explained if you want to get super deep you should check out this movie called infinity war. there's this guy called thanos and he kills half the people! (sorry spoilers) anyways, it's like, super philosophical and niche. It might go over your head, it takes a real genius to understand all its layers	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/03/19 01:58 AM
2	The "Fisherman" analogy: Explained it was based on something yes, a screenplay written by two transgender ladies in the 90s. but you weren't talking about the screenplay, you were talking about the movie. you made a reference to a popular movie. you made a pop culture reference and considered it "deep"	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/03/19 01:50 AM
2	The "Fisherman" analogy: Explained The Matrix was like literally one of the biggest hollywood blockbusters the year it came out it's pop culture breh	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/03/19 01:28 AM
2	The "Fisherman" analogy: Explained What “shortcomings?” well, this analogy fails to describe how there could possibly be a relationship where both parties get something out of it. With fishing, either the fisherman wins or the fish wins. They can't both have what they want, and so if you want to get what you want then you need to ensure that the fish loses. It's like it never even crosses your mind that a relationship can be mutual and compatible and long-lasting and filled with respect and honesty. Sad! Things that literally or …	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/03/19 01:11 AM
1	The "Fisherman" analogy: Explained lol that you consider "going deep" to be giving pop culture movie references and cliched analogies yeah definitely don't consider talking about a book that you've read recently or anything hahaha	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/03/19 01:09 AM
1	The "Fisherman" analogy: Explained A fish only knows itself and that’s it. It can try to tell you what all other fish like and want It can? I thought fish couldn't talk	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/03/19 11:57 PM
2	The "Fisherman" analogy: Explained Nobody wants to “get caught” in a relationship I mean I don't want to disembowel and consume my partner either but i understand that that's not what you mean when a guy "catches a fish" The purpose of analogies is to help illustrate a broader point by creating a simple, fictitious scenario. When people point out the flaws and limitations in your analogy it's not that they've failed to understand your point, we're just pointing out that you feel the freedom to extend this metaphor for as much as …	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/03/19 11:56 PM
2	The "Fisherman" analogy: Explained I'll give you the opportunity to restate your position then: do women want to get "caught" in a relationship? Or when you try to date someone, do you believe that they're trying to escape from you?	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/03/19 11:17 PM
1	The "Fisherman" analogy: Explained FISH AREN'T LOOKING TO BE CAUGHT.	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/03/19 10:57 PM
1	The "Fisherman" analogy: Explained You’d likely have to understand fishing to get it only fisher kids will get this post	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/03/19 10:57 PM
2	The "Fisherman" analogy: Explained I read it and quoted the specific part I took issue with, maybe you just need another crack at explaining what you meant. Why shouldn't I ask women for advice on how to date women?	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/03/19 10:55 PM
1	The "Fisherman" analogy: Explained Reducing a massive group of people like 'women' or 'television viewers' to a set of assumptions is a losing proposition if you think that successful salesmen don't make assumptions about their customers then you're just highlighting how you don't know how this game works I'm glad your dad liked Louis, he sounds like a swell guy. He's also dead because guys like him don't fit into our framework right now. The modern economy is not based on decades of trust, the modern economy is about showing up …	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/03/19 10:54 PM
2	The "Fisherman" analogy: Explained The analogy means that women can't talk? The analogy is that women don't want to get into relationships with men? Boy do i have news for you buddy	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/03/19 10:47 PM
2	The "Fisherman" analogy: Explained The focus is that you don’t ask a fish how it wants to be caught because it doesn’t really know, and will likely give you the wrong information right, which is why most people who use this analogy focus on those parts rather than the parts you focused on	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/03/19 10:39 PM
1	The "Fisherman" analogy: Explained of course the analogy takes a complicated situation and boils it down to just a single message, that's the point of analogies. And the point with the car dealership analogy is that of course you would say "used car dealers absolutely should consider what customers like" because you're a customer and not a used car dealer! If a rookie car dealer prioritizes making customers happy instead of sticking to the tried-and-true tactics of car dealers, he's not going to be very successful. These two thin…	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/03/19 10:16 PM
1	The "Fisherman" analogy: Explained I think there's a use to using animals in analogies (herd mentality, wolf in sheep's clothing, bull in a china shop, pearls before swine, etc.). Even the fisherman analogy has a point, if you want to become a successful used car dealer you're probably better off emulating other dealers rather than asking your customers what they'd like. but yeah, you're supposed to use analogies to illustrate a broader point about behavior or society, not to dehumanize people	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/03/19 09:59 PM
6	The "Fisherman" analogy: Explained YOU DO NOT ASK THE FISH WHAT IT LIKES IN ORDER TO BE CAUGHT. Why? The first obvious reason is that fish cannot talk (hehe). The second obvious reason is that FISH AREN'T LOOKING TO BE CAUGHT. sounds like a bad analogy then	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/03/19 09:27 PM
