| – | Women manage feelings of loneliness better because they maintain social ties betterIt's also more accurate. Undesirable means incapable of being desired. Invisible means not seen. In my experience many men who go unseen have plenty of potential to be desirable if they're seen. Something about a bushel basket. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/07/25 05:14 PM |

| 3 | Is Everything Is Being Needlessly Overcomplicated?I think it's difficult and a challenge, and we can make a difficult task more difficullt by complicating it with a lot of theories or posturing or defensiveness, which I think is what the OP is about. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/07/25 07:46 PM |
| 1 | Explain so many involuntarily single men at a roughly 50/50 gender ratioThat's a thoughtful response. I think beyond swipe apps which seem to be a scourge for most people who use them, social media generally appears to make our world smaller but when it replaces face to face interactions it makes the gaps between us bigger. We know too much about each other, and some of it's true. And "I'll fuck anyone, how about it?" probably never really comes across as well as some men think. Even for the women who say "sure". | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/07/25 08:30 PM |
| 2 | I believe women are more sensitive to negative feedback than men. This study supports that.But then maybe that's less about hating women and more about trying to protect his snese of self. It's also effective. Men's version of small penis insults. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/07/25 08:12 PM |
| 1 | Explain so many involuntarily single men at a roughly 50/50 gender ratioI'm part of a couple and have been since before any reasonable definition of "current", so I'm kind of an onserver, but dating was always a challenge for me so some of the men's complaints here, the ones where they talk about feeling left out or invisible resonate deeply. I still have the white bandages and dark glasses. And I agree, men as a group are all over the place, but so are women. Something about monoliths. On this site I'd agree that it's more common for man A to hold contradictory vie… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/07/25 08:05 PM |

| 1 | I believe women are more sensitive to negative feedback than men. This study supports that.I'm not justifying violent behavior, but anger is a common symptom of depression for men. We don't do fear, sadness or shame very well, but anger we pretty much nail. It's masking those "softer" emotions in a lot of cases, and for a lot of men the mechanism to jump from fear or sadness to anger is pretty wekll oiled. I also think men's depression is underdiagnosed as a result. Edited a word. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/07/25 07:53 PM |
| 4 | Explain so many involuntarily single men at a roughly 50/50 gender ratioIf your point is that the RP is a craven approach to life, at least the way it seems to be talked about, then I agree. If you're saying that women are freely participating but that's on men, I can't help but wonder WTF? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/07/25 07:31 PM |

| 1 | Average guys are expected to abide different rules when it comes to datingStealing a quote of yours from a different exchange because it fits ours. As an average looking woman I don’t expect the same leeway and interpretation that a really attractive woman gets. I can’t get away with the same behavior. At all. I don’t get the same treatment. That’s just life. First, I agree that bias is the wrong word to use to describe attraction. I also wonder about the value of this discussion, but a lot of men can't seem to get past this fear of being settled for, and while it's n… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/07/25 08:23 PM |

| – | Women of reddit. What is your honest reaction to hearing constantly on social media the dating woes of men?And I've found a woman worth being with and I also feel fortunate. What I don't feel the need to do though is to tell less fortunate people that their desires for the thing I greatly value, their longing for the thing I have and cherish is somehow not a big deal because they won't die without it. And now that I think about it, I'd die a little if I lost her. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/07/25 08:01 PM |

| – | It shouldn't be a shock that the vocabulary of the more eager gender that has less opportunities and is expected to initiate is different.I think men who seem to want to have conversations with or including women on sites like this hurt their cause with their word choices. Some men just want to ba crude, or to signal to other men. But if you genuinely want to engage with a woman or women, is it really that much harder to say something like "connect with" or even "get a date" or "get some reciprocal interest"? TLDR; if you see women as part of your audience here, consider their feelings. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/07/25 03:41 PM |

| -1 | You cannot tweak culture and society a little bit and suddenly the dating market is balanced outWhy are you so intent on telling men who are struggling with their dating lives that there's really no hope for them. On a case by case basis, there may be no hope, or none in the short term. But this horse of yours is dead and has been for a while now, so maybe quit dragging it here beating it every day or two.I Look, I'm not sure anything will have much direct impact on the current dating dynamics.

| – | Experience in bed is a downside for men, not an upsideOut of touch on the basic argument that there's no transfer of skill or approach, and missing the fact that experience isn't just or primarily about being a good lay. It's at least as much about learning what you like. Who you like sexually. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/07/25 09:40 PM |
| 1 | Love and sex is not a rightI just checked and neither I nor my argument is made of straw. You seem determined that we have to have entered a new social order that is really the state of nature and therefore the only order that can rightly exist. Yet you just declare that without any actual evidence to back it up. I agree with your first paragraph, btw. Although I suspect many of the men arguing for society's benefit know they're blowing smoke. And they're angry and some of them just want women to change. The patriarchy's … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/07/25 09:35 PM |
| 2 | Love and sex is not a rightWho is going to want to fuck somebody who society is helping get fucked? Help them and find out. And by help, I mean a societal structure where more boys and men thrive. I'm invested in more people, and men in this case but generally more people having fulfilling lives. You seem the opposite. You come here several times a week and rejoice in the properness of some men being unfuckable. What's your motivation? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/07/25 07:43 PM |
| 3 | Love and sex is not a rightOn this issue and most issues, it's rare. Can't disagree. But for what it's worth, I'm pretty much a have. No one would be dazzled by me or my history, but I've had some fun and I'm happy now. I wish that for other people because why wouldn't I? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/07/25 07:12 PM |
| 2 | Love and sex is not a rightIt literally is. I'm not sure you know the meaning of the word. That it's a need doesn't obligate anyone to provide it, but maybe it does obligate a caring society to at least consider whether we might do more to help people meet that need. Helping them be better people who are better able to attract a partner the old fashioned non-coercive way that preserves everyone's rights and autonomy. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/07/25 07:08 PM |
| 5 | Why do you want to be in a relationship?It feels right. I'm close to my SO in ways I'm not with friends. Sex is a supreme act of trust and vulnerability, and I need and benefit from that type of closeness. As far as masturbation, on average I give myself better orgasms than she gives me or participates in. On average. But the best are with her. And when they are more pretty good or I don't finish, it's still a great experience. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/07/25 04:03 PM |
| 8 | Love and sex is not a rightYou do not need it There's where you're wrong. Until this claim your argument was sound. A slam dunk, so much so that it's really not necessary, unless you're just out to earn your daily attaboys. Which of course........ But I digress. Men who outright claim or clealry imply that they have a right to sex have to logically believe that the woman they want has no right to refuse.

But they're good ideas the same way suggesting that someone overweight should eat better and get more exercise.

So the message might need to be delivered differently, or the emotional and life circumstance reasons people are overweight might need to be explored. So along those lines, I thi… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/07/25 02:24 PM |
| – | Men being single isn't a problem to be solvedI'm 100% opposed to stripping women of their autonomy. If someone suggests that, oppose that suggestion and that person. Having said that, are the only real problems those that kill people? Is everything else on hold til we cure death? And maybe let people decide what makes them happy. That's what autonomy means. Becoming happy is each person's job and some won't succeed, but it's not for you to name the terms. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/07/25 05:07 AM |
| 7 | People cannot really expect others to believe them when they claim that people with differing interests, or neurotypical and neurodiverse people, can have fulfilling relationships when the evidence around us suggests that they cannotI think the problem is more likely the intensity of the interest in the hobby or the time commitment. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/07/25 02:18 PM |
| 6 | I don’t think men are “intimidated” by strong independent womenDo you notice how often men claim that others think their (the men's) dating issues are a moral or character failing? There is some of that here at least indirectly, but that's not my point. I think the men who complain about their singleness being a judgment on their person genuinely believe it is. They're making that judgment, and projecting it onto others. The few times those others feed into this feeling just reinforces it. That is one reason why someone might beat a dead horse. There are ot… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/07/25 01:55 PM |
| 6 | It is not “just world fallacy” to believe that anyone who is chronically unable to have anyone ever desire them despite trying, is unattractive in some way.It's also not a stretch to note that this kind of forum might be a place a person can vent their frustration. I don't favor being obnoxious, but the anonymity here might make that momentarily attractive in a way that it isn't elsewhere. We also don't know how dating or relationship issues might change a person. I wouldn't claim it's usually the case, but at least some of the time a disagreeable person might be so because they're frustrated, as opposed to being frustrated because they're difficul… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/07/25 04:26 PM |
| 9 | It is not “just world fallacy” to believe that anyone who is chronically unable to have anyone ever desire them despite trying, is unattractive in some way.I see something like just world stuff here pretty regularly. It usually happens in a context where the discussion gets heated and a person who struggles to date gets obnoxious. Then the other person say they can see why the currently obnoxious person can't get a date. I think the person can appear to be generalizing the moment into an explanation for the person's struggles. They will literally say that X trait isn't the reason you can't get a date, being an asshole is. I don't know that they bel… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/07/25 02:09 PM |
| 9 | CMV: requiring women to make the first move with "choosing signals" is just more emotional laborThis isn't about emotional labor. In a dating context, showing some interest if you're actually interested is respectful and decent and functional.

But that's not the point. If body shaming is a shitty thing to do, then it's a shitty thing to do whether a case can be made that someone's choices contributed to their shamed traits or not.

| 2 | Most gendered problems are consequences of women upbringingThe truth is that most women do bring more to the table than most men just by virtue of being female, I think the original text of the Declaration of Independence read "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, but women bring more to the table than men" but Abigail Adams told John he and the other authors were being simps so they edited it down.

| 4 | Men being thirsty is the reason women have so much leverage in the dating gameYou're right that men are the cause of the imbalance, but we're not going to change except in a thought experiment. But individual men can help themselves immensely by looking at women more critically and finding someone they really like. That reduces your odds of finding someone by just about exactly the % of women you'd be at least a little unhappy with. That's not a loss. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/06/25 02:42 AM |

| 9 | Why do men interpret women’s disinterest as hostility?I think the men who feel extremely demeaned by ordinary rejections are overly sensitive to the experience. Maybe they actually experience rejection different fro most people. Maybe they've been rejected so often that the pain sort of accumulates and kills their self esteem. Maybe they built up their hopes, follishly probably, but built them up so high that they crash when they hear "no". And maybe he's a jerk who always blames other people for how he feels.

And you your first thought IS NOT: "But it's because of other men and the patriarchy..."Your list is a thoughtful one. And with a slightly different slant, I agree that men do a crap job of advocating for their issues to be heard. I think shame about having issues often gets in the way.

| 16 | Why do men interpret women’s disinterest as hostility?I think men (or women) should accept rejection gracefully. The first rejection or the 101st. How someone behaves toward the person who rejects them is fair game for your judgment, but you seem to want to tell people how to feel. You're not just noting that it's maladaptive to be as dramatic as some people can be, you're demanding that they stop. You asked why men might be overly sensitive to rejection.

That all the unnatural developments that brought us here, things like social media, online dating, the current political climate, and a recent pandemic to name some, have revealed a natural order of things.

| 3 | The internet has enabled men to listen in on female spaces, and men don't like what they hearI’m sometimes surprised guys are jarred by any closing of the gap since they’re used to interacting the way they do. I think men either believed or wanted to believe that women were more genteel than they really are at baseline. To be fair, women wanted men to believe that too. Then in my view women have changed more the last 30 years than men have, like I say narrowing the coarseness gap. We weren't ready for that. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/06/25 04:04 PM |
| 1 | The internet has enabled men to listen in on female spaces, and men don't like what they hearThat's probably true, but it's true for people. Where I agree is that the internet and the barrage of media in general has coarsened us. In those media and just out and about. In my experience women are still less coarse than men but they've narrowed th gap and so they've changed more in this regard over tha last 2 or 3 decades. And it can be jarring to experience.. But while honesty and coarseness overlap, they're not the same thing. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/06/25 02:17 PM |
| 4 | The internet has enabled men to listen in on female spaces, and men don't like what they hearThere's a performative aspect to how men and women talk when they feel like they can open up. Those overheard conversations aren't good indicators of what men or women actually think or feel. They can be but they aren't necessarily. I think most people have a bit of a cruel streak. Some pent up hostility. How we treat people is more important than what we say in an unguarded moment. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/06/25 01:59 PM |

| – | DISCUSSION🗨️ ABOUT MAIN PPD POSTS📮, LOOKS👀, AND N-COUNT🔢 ARE RESTRICTED🚫 FROM THE DAILY🌞 MEGATHREAD🧵If you accept that men are often not adept at being vulnerable about their needs and so express them crudely (or clinically with a lot of jargonn) as a sort of cover, it makes more sense. So while a lot of men will deny it, some % who say they do X for pussy are actually saying they do X in the hope of finding love.

| 3 | Q4M: Why do guys bristle at the notion of a woman deserving princess treatment?A person who defines their "worth" as a status that requires another person to be servile really should get what they deserve, if you know what I mean. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/06/25 03:29 PM |

| 6 | If you are celibate, you can't expect your partner to not have sex with others, nor does he have to tell youLeaving a relationship that doesn't work for you is always the way to go. I do see some tendency for women to receive more support for leaving, but there's a context to that. But if a woman is not good for a man I don't see much push back if he leaves in a reasonable way. The "hill" I was referring to was she's celibate=I get to fuck around hill. Why start or stay around for that? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/06/25 08:28 PM |
| 1 | Is being too nurturing a turn off?Here due to flair. I would think there's a fine line between lots of nurturing and love bombing. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/06/25 07:36 PM |
| 1 | You Can’t "Prove" the Red Pill And That’s Not a FlawTRP seems predicated on the idea that men were lied to. That there was a consistent and maybe maliscious effort to mislead men about what and who is attractive. The people selling TRP really focus on this to get men who feel a bit despondent about their dating lives angry instead. Anger feels better than dispair, so it's a good hook. But anyone with any powers of perception can note which men are conventionally attractive. Which boys are. If men or boys were lied to, they either seriously lack t… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/06/25 07:27 PM |

| 5 | Generalizing by Gender Is Lazy and HarmfulI agree that we're too tribal, especially the last 15 years or so for the reasons you cited. Tribalism by definition in this context means holding one group's needs above another's. People who think and feel along group indentity lines are going to have trouble seeing the other group member's views without bias. And mutual problems can't get addressed. So while generalizations are useful and even necessary to make sense out of things, in this context they're bound to be skewed against the outgro… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/06/25 06:49 PM |
| – | One good thing about dating in 2025 is that the red pill idea of faking it until you make it simply doesn’t work anymore. Women want authentically attractive men.OP is either; -Reasonably ssocially successful with lots of time on his hands and a sadistic streak -A woman with a sadistic streak, and lots of time on her hands -A socially unsuccessful man trying vainly to convince himself he's beyond hope, and pulling us all into a sort of humiliation kink thing he's orchestrating (and whacking off to) OP says they're male, and if that's true then I'm not sure which of the other two options I have more contempt for. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/06/25 03:45 PM |
| 2 | You think you will benefit from sympathy but you won’t. Sympathy and pity is the opposite of attraction. As a grown man you need to fix your own problemSympathy can be helpful. Someone acknowledging your pain can help you heal and regain your balance. It's not meant to fix your problem, but rather to put you in a better position to decide what you can do for yourself. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/06/25 03:29 PM |
| 6 | Men who complain about being friendzoned mostly just find women boring and annoyingWhy have a discussion if you have it all figured out. I defer to your expertise on how men feel. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/06/25 09:10 PM |
| 1 | Historically, the average dude likely never found academics easyI agree. I think the German influence was more recent but the two definitely have in common rigid definitions of what a proper man is and how to make a boy into that proper man. I put "civilizing" in italics because it was more about cowing them into submission. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/06/25 07:15 PM |
| 9 | Men who complain about being friendzoned mostly just find women boring and annoyingThat's a pretty jaded way to look at it. Developing romantic or sexual feelings doesn't meam you expect sex. It can mean that being around that person is difficult. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/06/25 04:44 PM |
| 10 | Men who complain about being friendzoned mostly just find women boring and annoyingHow is it entitled? I'm not suggesting he dump his choice on her, but if he respectfully backs away for his own emotional well being that seems like a dignified bit of self care. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/06/25 04:40 PM |
| 9 | Men who complain about being friendzoned mostly just find women boring and annoyingThe "friend zone" thing is so off base. Women suggesting friendship to a man they aren't already friends with are just trying to get out of an awkward moment without being cruel or antagonistic. If she's not already your friend she's not really offering frindship. Also, you can't be put anyplace you don't want to go. And if you develop romantic feelings for a genuine friend, and she doesn't reciprocate, what do you expect her to do? She doesn't feel the same, and you both have to deal with that.… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/06/25 04:32 PM |
| 2 | LOOKS WEEKLY DISCUSSION THREADYou sound exactly like a lot of the men here. I have sympathy for anyone who feels or believes that their presentation is never enough to interest the people they'd like to be with. How a person responds to being in that situation might change how I perceive their plight, if it really is their plight. If you really can't be attracted to anyone other than very conventionally attractive men, then you're right to only date or whatever with those men if you get the opportunity. That's not a badge of… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/06/25 04:26 PM |
| 14 | Historically, the average dude likely never found academics easyI also think the US public school system was very influenced by the German model in the late 19th century. I think it (the German model) put a real emphasis on civilizing enough boys to have a functional leadership class for the next generation, and if a lot of male children struggled so be it, that was the cost of creating the elite or even a sort of bureaucratic class. By accident really most girls fit that system better than most boys for the reasons we've discussed. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/06/25 03:59 PM |
| 18 | Historically, the average dude likely never found academics easyI think on average women's language skills are better than men's. Those language skills are building blocks for most academic subjects. I believe the studies showing boys are more active than girls in infancy before parental bias would influence it still hold up. Those studies showed that the higher activity level and greater motor involvement in dealing with things lasted into childhood. We don't want to sit still. I think those things may have a greater influence on how men learn and maybe wha… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/06/25 03:44 PM |
| 3 | How do RedPillers explain the situations where a man is neither a peak physical specimen/hot, rich and successful etc. but still has success in dating and casual sex?That's a rational enough take. I actually see the opposite play out though regarding relationsip, your larger point in the comment above. Men and women who aren't so attractive but are well adjusted tend to actively look for attractive qualities in partners. They get to know the person, and not just the surface because they kind of have to, but it can lead to solid relationships. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/06/25 02:11 PM |
| 2 | It's not offensive to ask for dna testNo need to ask or to expect her to be happy about it. Just get the test if you feel the need. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/06/25 02:07 PM |
| 3 | How do RedPillers explain the situations where a man is neither a peak physical specimen/hot, rich and successful etc. but still has success in dating and casual sex?Can you define "good quality"? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/06/25 01:56 PM |
| 4 | Society did not “lie” to you about what was and wasn’t attractive to women. You are not a “victim”.I don't think their moms in the west told them being nice and studious would get them a girlfriend. Those aren't bad traits, but they aren't draws and are more valuable later in a relationship. Men who say they were deceived into believing that's what consistently attracts women just wished that were true because they needed it to be. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/06/25 01:53 PM |
| 1 | There´s no hope for marriage as an institution because there are 0 repurcussions for infidelityI think this is the point to make. There are few social repurcussions for divorce or splitting up less formally except in very conservative religious circles. I don't think that's a bad thing myself, but regardless the ship has sailed. The institution of marriage may be stronger now that people feel less forced to enter into it and are doing so later in life when they're better settled and informed. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/06/25 01:45 PM |
| 3 | When men face any problems disproportionally, It's framed as being their own fault. Whereas with women, it's always "systemic"If therapy doesn't appeal to men who are struggling emotionally and by definition then perhaps not at their best, should those struggling men change or should the way therapy is marketed and carried out change? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/06/25 08:04 PM |
