Respectfully, your phrasing did not reflect that. For what it's worth I'm not red pill, I'm a progressive but it's definitely an issue. I've personally met people who it has happened to. And it is an issue that is really hard to quantify. There are unfortunately evil people from all walks of life, genders, etc...

If you're genuinely asking, there's an entire subreddit for it /r/supportforthesccused Some may actually be guilty, some may be trolls writing fanfiction but it definitely is a thing. The problem is if it happens to someone you probably aren't going to hear about it.

While thats certainly true for some women, Respectfully, this is about broader toxic gender norms and pressures of toxic masculinity. And this is a pretty recognized one, and one that gets reinforced by all genders. Admitting it exists it doesn't take away from any of the issues facing women, it's not a zero sum game. I say this as a progressive dude.

The loud incels are a loud minority. I think you're underestimating how hard dating can be for the average dude. Guy who has a normal friend group, normal hobbies, and starts off with good intentions but still struggles getting dates OLD. There wouldn't be as big of a loneliness epidemic in young men if it was ONLY the red pill social outcasts.

Most average dudes don't start out jaded tho. I think in online spaces it's easy to think every lonely, frustrated, dude is someone redpill weirdo but they are the loud minority. In reality the majority are just regular, well-meaning dudes who take the normal advice of "be yourself, don't be a jerk, and you'll find someone!". And then when that doesn't happen, they end up confused and lonely and then they're told "the bar is in hell" and there must be something wrong with you, you're probably a …

But no one is saying physical attraction should play no role courtship, just that rejecting someone based solely on looks is—by definition—shallow.

To be fair that's literally the definition of that. Rejecting someone based on something that is skin-deep (their looks) instead of more substantial things.

so we'll just argue on personal experiences and that's kinda useless lol. A bit presumptuous that that's my experience lol I do okay for myself OLD. But the fact of the matter is the average male experience OLD results in few matches and fewer dates. Redpill sells an alternative dream. For most young men the initial dream is still just 'be yourself, don't be a jerk, and you will find a girl who appreciates you'. It's only after the reality of that dream dissipates when they look for the alternat…

but being nice and average looking but taking care of yourself will. Respectfully, this unfortunately isn't true, especially OLD. And I think that's why a lot of well-meaning average men fall into bitter red pill/incel idealogies because they start off "doing everything right" and still end up alone.

That's not what they said lol read it again

Yeah but no one's advocating for repression or stoicism. They were pointing out that it's gender trait perpetuated from toxic masculinity which gets reinforced by men & women alike. One that is often overlooked by even the most progressively minded people.

lol for what it's worth I'm a progressive dude and I generally consider myself a feminist. And not that it matters but I'm in shape, go to therapy, and don't generally have trouble getting dates. I just also happened to be concerned with the current issues facing young men and how they increasingly so easily fall into redpill/incel and fascist ideologies. And I don't really think dismissing male emotional labor is the right way to go about empathetically guiding men toward more constructive ideo…

Men identify their emotions, but don't show them because they are forced to be stoic. Thus emotional labor. I suggest you be more empathetic instead of arguing semantics of a psychology textbook.
/r/PurplePillDebate14/08/24 06:27 AM

once again, not mutually exclusive. What is your point? That men are unable to perform emotional labor?
/r/PurplePillDebate14/08/24 03:08 AM

Acting stoic even when you're sad, stressed, upset, absolutely takes emotional labor.

Not mutually exclusive.

While not irrelevant, I think you're focusing too much on your specific anecdotal experience. People overwhelming live in urban areas (80%).

I mean, that's my point. And it's even worse these days. I just mean most people who express frustration aren't as lazy or entitled as you implied in your first comment.

I think the issue arises from the fact that the average guy probably gets like 2-3 matches a week (if they're lucky). So they don't even have the chance to put in the effort to weed out all the incompatible people.

This is generally not true in almost every online space.
/r/PurplePillDebate09/08/24 06:26 PM

If that were true, it would be a much smaller, niche issue since most people live in cities. For example, a guy takes a new job in a new city, makes friends with a couple coworkers but struggles to find a real social circle, gets lonely and tries meeting someone on dating apps, but like most average dudes, struggles to have much success. It's not like big cities like LA and NYC have a reputation of dating being easy there. I don't want to be too negative though, just pointing out that most guys …

I think people on this sub (and in general) underestimate how easy it is for a completely normal, well-intentioned guy to struggle with dating and loneliness. That's also partly why they fall into toxic red pill groups because the the red pill groups are the only groups that acknowledge them whereas healthier, more constructive circles tend to overlook.

Not to completely excuse it, but a lot of masculinity teaches boys that an alarming amount of basic hygiene & grooming are "gay" or "unmanly" with even women sometimes reenforcing that idea. So it's not completely 'men choose to be gross because they're lazy and entitled"
/r/PurplePillDebate01/08/24 08:48 AM

Yeah if men had hundreds of average matches throwing themselves at them on dating apps their standards would naturally inflate, too. It's not gender, moreso it's numbers.

People will essentially assume there's something wrong with you. Must be a creep in private, or have other issues, etc.
/r/PurplePillDebate01/08/24 08:30 AM

It's definitely a bigger issue of societal pressure. You don't need people explicitly telling you you're a loser to feel it. It's the toxic masculinity that gets reenforced by both men & women tying sexual success to masculine worth.

I don't think anyone is saying you should get with someone you have ZERO attraction to lol, just that good relationships are usually built on more than just superficial attraction. My previous ex was not a "love at first sight" situation, if I had seen her at the bar I probably would have thought she was not my type, but she had a good personality and we had a good connection and I ended up dating her for 2 great years.

They’re sure as fuck trying Eh, aside form the weirdos who comment creepy things on their Instagram posts—which I wouldn't even consider realistically trying—this isn't true.

I don't have much of a horse in this race but average dudes are not matching with IG models.

? I don't think it's controversial to acknowledge that societal gender norms discourage men from being emotionally open, or vulnerable.

100% A "loneliness epidemic" wouldn't be a an epidemic if it only affected outcasts and weirdos. I think a huge reason so many men fall into the red pill stuff is because they do all the normal, "right" stuff in life and still end up lonely.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
