Lol it’s literally scientifically true that men are less predisposed to weight gain than women. But okie dokie, I’ll come down from Venus and acknowledge you’re sooooo right.

Lol have you ever tried to eat 1200 calories a day? It’s pretty miserable. It’s a lot harder for women to keep weight off - many have to exercise to do so, just like many men have to exercise to be muscular. If your frame sucks you’re just not genetically blessed - this goes for men and women. Women can hold all their weight in their belly for example, pretty common body type, and it’s not ‘hot’ even if they’re slim enough. I know it’s a big complaint on this sub. But skinny women and skinny men…

Saw what she wrote. But what she described was not that. Read her post closely. She also literally writes that it’s a testing ground for LTR.

Men don’t have to exercise to be skinny in their twenties lmao. Women do. This is just sexual dimorphism. Thin women are attractive. Thin men are not - thinness is not masculine if you don’t also look muscular/powerful. I’ve been pretty consistent. I guess your position is that thin people must date and men who like bubble butts on their partners should have one too or else it’s hypocrisy. Lolllllll.

Yeah I don’t know how you could know and stay. Especially if you’re a feminist.

It’s not ‘easier’ it’s sexual dimorphism. Women have lower standards for faces imo than men. Especially if we’re talking abt for relationships, not just sex. Lean without muscle is the same thing. That physique is not attractive on men. The majority of men are built with more muscular frames - men who are ‘lean’ (barring those with amazing ‘frames’) are actually kind of below average. Especially in your twenties when most people are fit.

No, you explained why something I absolutely didn’t say was wrong because it’s what you happen to be mad about lol. Yes, it’s not enough to not be fat as a man. Just as it’s not enough to be a muscular linebacker as a woman. It is pretty comparatively easy for men to remain ‘skinny’ especially in their twenties. Men are not predisposed to weight gain in the same way as women. I don’t see ‘fit dudes’ with overweight women. I see skinny dudes with overweight women sometimes, but almost never genui…

No, that’s not what I said. I said it’s not harsher, it’s just different. I didn’t say different can’t also be harsher. Nice analogy though lmao, how do you think you’re working twice as hard to look good? I think men are physically harsher when it comes to picking relationship partners. Bottom of the barrel standards when it comes to sex, though.

Why doesn’t your boyfriend make you dinner because you’re both hungry? Why should you have to split a bill or pay for it all yourself but he can’t pay for it all himself? Just curious!

Surprised she didn’t drop you, tbh. That shows a willingness to work through it. Or maybe just low self esteem/respect. I would drop anyone I thought was red pill at all in a heartbeat.
/r/PurplePillDebate21/07/20 07:46 AM

No, it’s not harsher it’s just different. Men without hourglass figures go for women with hourglass figures all the time. Skinny men are rating themselves as if they are women. They are not women. Men are naturally bulkier and more muscular and many of them capitalise on that via training.
/r/PurplePillDebate21/07/20 07:42 AM

No, it doesn’t. It means OP doesn’t understand sexual dimorphism.
/r/PurplePillDebate21/07/20 07:36 AM

But it sounds like the OP is just talking about dating without commitment. It doesn’t sound like she does have those kinds of boundaries - she’s viewing it as a testing ground for a LTR. That’s literally just that ambiguous vetting period before you commit to someone.
/r/PurplePillDebate21/07/20 06:57 AM

Lol maybe 15% of women have hourglass figures, even when young. It’s nearly impossible to achieve unless you are genetically gifted with that particular bone structure. Tomboyish women are niche. Just like how some women like skinny nerds. Lots of people have a ‘type’ that is not conventionally attractive. Men don’t mind short women but the majority of men will not date women who are hugely taller than them. It’s just different.
/r/PurplePillDebate21/07/20 06:55 AM

What’s the difference between what you’re calling “FWB” and just dating without clear commitment?
/r/PurplePillDebate21/07/20 04:50 AM

Yes. But ‘big women’ is a type like how ‘bear’ is a type. Short Indian dude is probably some people’s type. The rest is too specific imo.

Hate this stuff, but if you are a skinny man, your ‘match’ is not a skinny or slim woman. Skinny men are not, by and large, considered attractive (Talking about lack of muscle mass, not wiry thin hipster dudes with amazing frames).

Objectification is about treating people like objects. Sexualisation is about treating people like sexual beings. I can think of someone sexually without thinking they’re basically the same as my car.
/r/PurplePillDebate21/07/20 12:49 AM
0

That’s not a lower bar, though. That’s a different bar. You’re talking about conventionally attractive, anyway. Bears are a thing, dad bod is a thing, skinny hipster dudes are a thing. Women’s blueprint for conventionally attractive is similarly narrow: within average height range, fit and slim with an hourglass figure, beautiful face, young, long hair.
/r/PurplePillDebate21/07/20 12:47 AM

It’s not a lower bar. The standards are just different. Same as how men don’t need to have hourglass figures to be thought of as hot - doesn’t mean there’s a “lower bar” for men. It’s just a different standard. Sexual dimorphism. I think you would think wrong on that one, but okay.
/r/PurplePillDebate21/07/20 12:12 AM
1

No. But it depends on the objectification and the film. I suspect what you think of as objectification is really just sexualisation. But also context is important. Men as a whole group were never treated as second class citizens. There are no pervasive narratives about men being incompetent or disposable and men are not being treated this way on a daily basis by strangers or colleagues, by and large. Sexual objectification of women OTOH.

Lol, duh. But it’s also a bit gross to intentionally try to get people drunk so you have a better chance at getting laid.
/r/PurplePillDebate21/07/20 12:06 AM

The bar isn’t lower. It’s just different. You personally may not find fat women attractive but many, many men do. Same with a height a 6’4 woman is going to struggle, a 6’4 man is hot. A 5’2 man is going to struggle, a 5’2 woman is going to do just fine.

Lol it’s not about you. I know it’s shocking but women don’t exist to fulfil your bangmaid fantasies. We are people in our own right with intrinsic motivation (something a lot of manosphere men seem to be sorely lacking in).

Lol can guarantee you the majority of guys at your college are not more attractive than Channing Tatum. Symmetry plays a role in attractiveness but is not everything. Channing Tatum is incredibly masculine looking - jaw line, eye shape, frame, height.

Being a gentleman is about having a generosity mindset and a power that you are aware of and use for the benefit of those around you. Being a ‘lady’ is the same. You are aware of your standing, aware that people look to you for leadership and you wield your influence with compassion/take your personal power seriously. It has fuck all to do with being ‘nice’ all the time and never disagreeing with anyone or whatever men on the internet think it means.

Not necessarily. Many personality traits are inborn - look up the big 5. Many people are naturally playful. Personality is not something that is necessarily worked on as a skill, although it can be - same as with looks. Eh. I disagree. I think there are a ton of men out there who never did any exercise and now they weight lift a bit and think it’s soooo much. A lifting session is not much harder than a pilates or yoga class imo and is much less effort than a 10km run and ‘cardio’ for men who lif…

Yes, the beauty industry is mostly patronised by women. Men do not wear make up, invest in skin care as heavily, or get plastic surgery at the same rates as women. It doesn’t matter if you think it adds value. A hot, wealthy person is objectively seen as having more value than an ugly, poor person as a dating prospect. It’s something that they ‘offer’ because other people like those qualities. You, subjectively, may only be interested in qualities people have worked hard for. This is somewhat un…

Firstly, it does not matter whether someone worked hard for something or not. Charming people are often naturally charming - they’re still offering charm. Wealthy people are often born wealthy - they’re still offering wealth. Secondly, almost everyone ‘works’ for or on their looks in some way. Women exercise in different ways to men (group classes vs free weights, running and yoga and pilates vs lifting and basketball) and the multi billion dollar beauty industry is primarily patronised by women…

I am super open to a tradie and do find many of them attractive and masculine, but have yet to feel the ‘click’ with one. Same deal with most of my white collar, female friends in Aus. I think it’s more of a general compatibility thing than white collar vs blue collar being a hard standard - but I do notice that people tend to marry those who are ‘similar’ to them by and large.

Men leered at me the most in my private girls’ school uniform. Pretty covered up. I’ve been on nudist beaches and not been leered at. Really more to do with men’s self control vs what women are wearing. Plenty of men leer at me when I’m wearing such revealing outfits as jeans and a t-shirt and gym clothes.

My first boyfriend used to go on and on about wanting to have sex with me when he was drunk and then he’d just fall asleep as soon as we got home. I hated it. I went home with a drunk famous man once and he ended up just wanting to cuddle and talk about how I could be his muse or something, because I was ‘too sweet’ and we’d need to see each other again/go on dates. It was entirely disappointing. A guy I was wildly in love with moved overseas and went entirely dead/ghosted me completely for a so…

Yeah, I agree with this take. The only time ‘sexual history’ ever came up for me is when I was a virgin and wanted my partner to approach sex with me knowing that. Other than that I have never discussed my n count. I think this is pretty typical.
/r/PurplePillDebate13/07/20 10:12 PM
1

I don’t think people do that intentionally tho. Like my first boyfriend was surprised and confused that I was a virgin. This hasn’t come up for me in years and years because I am a little bit older and nearly everyone has slept around at this point (in my social circle anyway), so nobody cares. But if you don’t want to date people who have slept around just don’t do it. It’s a choice you can make - they don’t have to make that choice for you.

Eh. My best male friend had the same experience with his second girlfriend. He got over it and they had a great, loving relationship until she moved overseas. I think it’s actually high disgust/high neuroticism rather than men vs women for this one. You’ll notice lots of women here are saying they also absolutely would never consider dating someone with a high n count - it’s individual and personality based imo.
/r/PurplePillDebate13/07/20 09:55 PM

Is it a trend? Where? I’ve literally never heard that before lol. As I said - I am not talking about manosphere types. I suppose you think you know my friends better than I do via telepathy or something.
/r/PurplePillDebate13/07/20 09:53 PM

Eh. I don’t think it matters too much tbh - I got over it with that first boyfriend and we had a beautiful, loving relationship. It only mattered for the 2 or so months that I made/let it matter.
/r/PurplePillDebate13/07/20 01:18 PM

Sure, most of the men I know do want women with an n count close to their own, though. I think the whole manwhores who want virgins thing is really overstated/an overrepresented demographic on the manosphere.
/r/PurplePillDebate13/07/20 01:16 PM

Men and women both want someone with an n-count close-ish to theirs. It matters for both genders if one partner has slept around significantly more. If a guy has slept with 40+ people I’d be a bit wary, but I don’t generally talk about n count and I don’t think most people do. My first boyfriend, whom I lost my virginity to (and this is the only reason why n count specifically came up as a discussion), had slept with 9 people when we were 18. I hated it at the time because it made me feel insecu…

Amongst teens and women in their early twenties pretty boys have always been the most attractive. This is not new. Teen idols like Justin Bieber and Timothee Chalamet aren’t hyper masculine.

It’s because those men view the whole thing as transactional and that’s also a red flag. They’re dating with the intent of getting laid and are upset when there are barriers to that. They think they’re being objectified because they are objectifying the woman they are with and they don’t want that to be a two way street. It’s why these men keep saying “But if I pay then you’re a prostitute!” It’s a complete and total failure to understand the ‘gift economy’, generosity and engendering goodwill. …

That’s how women communicate naturally. We all touch our female friends pretty causally. Men don’t touch each other so they think this is always flirting. And it is flirting/does have intent when men do it - which is what makes it inappropriate. I know some touchy feely men and it’s clear they’re just that way - but it’s a tiny fraction of men.

It’s more comfortable and harmless to ‘flirt’ when you’re in a relationship. I’m a naturally friendly person with an expressive face. Men always think I’m flirting if I’m myself, so I tend to be extremely guarded around men. Unless he’s taken and I’m taken - then there’s less danger he’ll misread me and I’ll just relax a bit and be myself.

I think some men project that women are as into them as they are in the early stages of dating. We are not. I have never been as ‘into’ the guys I was dating on date 1 as they were into me. Not at 19 and not now. I’ve spoken to a lot of women and it’s always the same - the initial period of dating you’re trying to figure out whether you like the person at all. It’s been this way with all of my boyfriends, actually. Men I ended up being in love with - because they persuaded me it was worth spendi…

Depends on the dates and the dynamic (I insist on paying if I have no intention of seeing a man again, whether it’s date 1 or date 3) - it makes a better impression if he continues to offer for a while. Past date 3 I don’t care too much about taking things in turns. I don’t tend to ‘split’ even with my friends, unless it’s a big group and it would be too complex for someone to just get next time. It seems miserly to me. I think the guy I’m currently dating insisted on covering everything the fir…

Nope. I’m not having sex with anyone in exchange for a $10 drink (lmao how ridiculous) so in no way, shape or form is it prostitution. It’s just a nice gesture and demonstrates that the man is generous. It’s not transactional at all imo - it’s part of the gift economy.

No, I don’t expect anything at all. That’s why I always reach for my wallet. But if a man offers to pay I read it as a sign of appreciation and a generous mindset - which is something I look for in a partner or even a FWB. If he doesn’t offer to pay it just means we’re not compatible and there will be no date 2. That’s it. Why would I do that? It’s completely bizarre “Just FYI I don’t like you as much as you like me lol”. What would this achieve other than making me look like I’m on the spectrum…

I’m not sure men take responsibility for cheating and never lie about it and understand its wrong. It used to just be the expectation that men would cheat and have mistresses. Maybe the women know their partners are also cheating? Maybe the boundaries in their relationship are ‘monogamish’? Can’t say I get it. Cheating is wrong. If I want to cheat on a partner it means the relationship is over and it’s time to end things.

You can invest in something without it being transactional lol. I meant emotional investment not financial investment - as stated several times it is about the gesture and the generosity not the money. I invest time and effort into my hobbies without expecting anything in return. Parents invest in their children. I invest in my friends etc. Investment just demonstrates that the person cares about the interaction - it doesn’t mean the interaction becomes transactional.
/r/PurplePillDebate09/07/20 02:00 AM

It’s how most men and most women see it. It’s not about the money - it’s about the gesture. It’s giving someone a gift or doing them a favour to show you like them and appreciate them giving you their time. Men who don’t pay on first dates are the equivalent of people who show up to a dinner party empty handed imo (you should bring a bottle of wine, cheese, dessert as a nice gesture or a gift. Also not about the money involved). It’s just ungenerous.
/r/PurplePillDebate09/07/20 01:41 AM

I don’t ask for anything. Men give - as a gesture, a show of generosity, a gift. If a man asks to split I will split. I will politely reach for my wallet etc. The vast majority of men prefer to pay at least initially. I’m not running a service business because I let men pay for me on dates lmao.

Actually I do something pretty similar to FDS when I’m looking for a FWB, too.

I make well over six figures and am turned off when men ask to split the bill on first dates. Only a very small fraction of men ask and I will split and then say no to a second date.

It has nothing to do with whether or not I can afford a $10 drink lol.

The appearance of many thoughts is a conscious act tho. This is how people do focused professional or academic work.

FDS isn’t niche. The number of people who would say they are using FDS might be niche but the strategy itself is very natural for lots of women. Most women are implementing a variation of FDS when they want a relationship. It’s really just ‘have boundaries’ and ‘move on when it seems like he’s just not that into you’ lol.

Men will just play along with FDS and give up on TRP. It won’t happen, though. There will always be vulnerable women - FDS really just seems to be about building and enforcing boundaries and standards for those who are too willing or quick to compromise.

Yes, but the thing is, when you interpret that as someone being ‘needlessly defensive’ - you are trying to decide what their boundaries should be for them. You don’t get to decide their boundaries.

I agree with this quote - it accurately describes men who are incapable of viewing women as people like themselves. And that’s a lot of men.

Most middle class and above people have leave. Travelling is no longer incredibly expensive. I think people are just trying to indicate they’re interested in adventure/don’t like to stay in one place particularly often for the most part - but it can be done in an obnoxious way, I agree.

Is it obviously not? Why is your take on women’s approach - based entirely on your own conjecture - superior to what an actual woman is telling you about how she and other women approach this? I do the same thing. My profiles have always been designed to weed people out, not draw people in.

That’s...still a hobby. It’s just not a hobby you like. I think video games are so boring and worthless but playing them is still a hobby. It’s still something that people are doing in their leisure time for pleasure - if they’re doing it regularly and intentionally it’s a hobby. Europe, America, Aus are also quite culturally different, especially outside of major cities. Alabama is nothing like Tuscany. The Northern Territory is nothing like NYC etc. You can travel domestically in all of those …

I think it’s noticeable that posters from conservative areas of the US really dig their heels in on how hard it is and what women are like - they just live in a place where the attitude towards casual sex is very different. And they tend to think everyone gets married by like 24 or something. It’s entirely foreign to me - but it statistically checks out.

You said enshrined and institutional in your initial post. It does not meet the relevant dictionary definition. Enshrined has a specific meaning in a legal/government context. The police also aren’t ‘institutional feminists’ no matter how much you pretend they are lol.

No, that’s just what enshrined means. It means made permanent - usually via legislation or codification. It doesn’t refer to soft social policy that is subject to flux, the ideology of the government of the day etc.

No. Enshrined means it’s solidified as permanent via legislation or codification. Best practices and policies are not enshrined - they are soft and subject to flux as said above.

Young men are objectively more attractive than older men. 60% of men in the 20-24 age group are probably the top 20% of men overall. Shy and high standards/going for women who are too different to them is 100% why they’re not getting laid if they’re fit and young.

It’s also pretty easy to sleep with, say, 5 people a year when you’re single and don’t really have anything against casual sex. You only need to be single four years from your late teens to early twenties to hit that ‘promiscuous’ n count of twenty by the age of 30 that way.

Very common. I swear every man I know has slept with 20-50 people. Unless, like you said, they met The One while very young - which is not common in my social circle. Most people have had a mix of LTRs and flings throughout their twenties and men have less inhibition and less consequences for sleeping around - so they do it more than women.

Plenty of men would opportunistically rape - strangers or acquaintances. This is why so many people have been raped. They’re not ‘hiding’ anywhere - they’re likely in plain sight. It’s not like people can tell you’re a rapist just by looking at you.

It’s not ‘prejudice’. Prejudice is ill founded/not based on experience or reason. This is based on both experience and reason. It’s a dating preference. I am not compatible with these people because they tend to bore me. I find ‘nerdiness ’ in general forced and irritating.

I think men who play video games enough that they actually talk to other people about it like it matters - entirely boring humans. And yes, when it comes to dating I hate ‘nerds’ and I associate that personality type with video games.

Yes, as I said, other stuff matters too. Status and money can ‘buy’ you attractiveness. Most men are not famous rappers. Most women do care about the way men look. Looks are not everything - but most women do not want to date ugly men.

This thread is wild. Do you. If it really pains you so much not to be an asshole go ahead and be an asshole. But for fuck’s sake - please stop asking why women won’t fuck nice guys like you. You are not nice. You are someone for whom basic human decency and politeness is an enormous struggle.

Not a man, but lots of people get married to have a stable partnership in which to have children. Also lots of people just click with someone and want that person to be their life partner. My parents are still wildly in love in their late fifties/early sixties - they have the best time with each other. People get married because they don’t want to lose the person who gives them that.

Lol my last two boyfriends have been much more into the idea of marriage than me. The guy I am currently seeing also specifically wants to get married. I could go either way tbh - but if I do get married it will be because I want to have children within a partnership that is (at least) symbolically and legally more likely to be permanent. I have always found men to be the ones who push to take the next step.

Lying to use people for personal gain is immoral. It’s not really a subjective grey area. Many people have moments of weakness when it comes to morality. Good friends call you out for being a shitty person - this whole ‘support my shitty immoral choices’ thing is just enabling, not friendship.

Sectarian does not refer exclusively to ethnic differences and I’m not sure why you think it does. Violence on the basis of religious difference is sectarian violence. Those different religious groups are also often ethnically different (or at least believe themselves to be).

Yes, I have lots of platonic male friends. One of my closest friends is a man. I don’t have to dispense dating advice because he seems to pick up very easily and also do well when it comes to more serious situations. But I would not tell him to do something stupid like just ‘have his fun’ with some dumb girl he’s seeing who isn’t interested in casual sex. Casual sex is fine, lying to people is not fine.

Eh. Not necessarily true - plenty of people, men and women, do masturbate to mental imagery. It’s easy enough to tell if a man is a porn addict (or even just watches a lot of porn) tbh. I wouldn’t date a porn addict long term anyway - so this wouldn’t be a concern.

Well why would you assume you’d see anyone again after a first date? It’s a first date - it should be low investment, let’s see if we have fun on both sides. So you do want a relationship, you’re just doing badly at dating so you’ve decided to give up? That is a bit different to your OP. If you’re burned out, sure, give up.

I don’t agree with you that equality under the law always leads to peace and a ‘one people’ mentality and I suspect nor do the protestors.

It doesn’t matter if they treat you the exact same as another person. Basic respect is not ‘everyone is equal, I treat everyone the exact same’. Some guy bought me coffee the other day for no reason. Is he disrespecting the other women in the cafe by not also buying them coffee? No, he treated me better because he found me attractive. He’s still not being disrespectful to the others.

Eh. Men are just more instantly visually attracted to women. In terms of actual sex drive there isn’t really a huge difference once people are in relationships.

It’s not misery olympics when it comes to people with and without social skills. Everyone has been isolated before - women exclude other women all the time in brutal ways, including ‘normal’ women. You’re assuming things about people based on their appearance and demeanour - which is exactly what I keep saying shy and anxious people tend to do. It’s really a chip on your shoulder mentality. The ‘bully’ that guys on here complain about is usually just a normal dude who is confident and decent loo…

Women will love it. Men think they’ll love it, but will end up being disappointed it’s not the ‘real’ thing. So basically the current state of sex toys. Sex is about validation for many men - not orgasms. This woman chose me and affirmed my worth as a man. That’s why sex toys for straight men is not a huge market as compared to sex toys for straight women.

Yeah, but normal people aren’t simple minded - they’re just not living with unhealthy levels of anxiety about things. They were able to naturally pick up something you had to learn as a ‘skill’. Everyone goes through being isolated in some way, shape or form at some point in their lives.

I’m not hugely extroverted tbh - I think it’s just the way I look. Shy/anxious/stunted men are also the most likely to think I am stupid and act shocked when it turns out I have a degree or whatever.

It’s probably because you are socially anxious yourself. I’ve noticed that you’re all very nice and accepting towards each other.

To be fair a lot of the complaints about straight women ruining gay spaces go along the lines of: it’s disrespectful, you’re not gay, why are you in a gay bar? when the straight ladies show up, the straight guys follow and then the whole place just becomes another straight people club. Ime gay men are usually more distressed about the straight men who inevitably follow the women than the women themselves.

No. Because women do more with what they’re genetically given and so end up looking better overall. I’m not just talking about make up. This thread is about women who are 8s, 9s and 10s and why they tend to be single. It isn’t about people overestimating their attractiveness - although research suggests it’s men who do this and women have a good idea of where they stand. There are fewer male 8s, 9s and 10s. Fewer men put effort into maintaining their appearance.

Yes. It’s because there are fewer very attractive men than there are very attractive women, imo. And attractive women always have options so they’re less inclined to put up with bad behaviour. More of an ‘on to the next’ mentality.

There isn’t the same historical context. Women don’t frequently develop stupid ideas about men because they (at the very least) are constantly exposed to male POV in media. Men can have absolutely no contact with women at all if they choose not to. Just my experience - ‘shy’ and ‘anxious’ men are usually misogynistic and view women as some kind of puzzle to be solved/code to be cracked rather than as people.

Look as I said - ime as a woman, this is a small proportion of men, usually not neurotypical men. Maybe 20% of men. Most men are fine with giving compliments - if you’re not, you’re not normal. It is overly logical because the majority of people - men and women - do not behave like this. It is a subset of borderline autistic and autistic people who behave like this.

But that happens to women, too. Just look at the dead bedrooms sub - lots of ladies in there. I think plenty of men I have dated have been recklessly wild ‘alpha males’ (not sure if they were, but they definitely changed their lifestyle) and have then calmed down when dating me because...well, ‘good girl’. My ex used to love clubbing and would go out all the time with female ‘friends’. He would never go clubbing with me - too much ‘respect’ for that.

Not sure where you got that from. A compliment is typically an expression of praise or admiration. Googled and got that very definition immediately. “I love you” is not praise or admiration. It’s just an expression of your own feelings. I think a long look can communicate that you think someone is beautiful and can be a compliment - it’s not verbal vs non-verbal. But verbal is definitely easier to identify.

It can’t be mutual if one party isn’t aware it’s happening. You need to look up the meaning of the word mutual. How could the oglers possibly be aware the woman wants it?

Yes, who is to say. It’s unobservable that women are sexually objectified in ways that men aren’t. Who could ever tell. It’s not because women are ‘uncomfortable’ it’s because it’s discriminatory. Which is the literal definition of the word. And yes sexuality is inherently discriminatory and sexist. It just isn’t bad sexism/discrimination because it doesn’t automatically feed into a system of oppression. The objectification of women, tho...

It’s sexist because it feeds into a system where men en masse and pervasively sexualise women’s bodies, particularly young women’s bodies. This makes most women uncomfortable in public on a daily basis. It leads to a society where man can move around freely in public without being objectified and women cannot. This is discriminatory. And yes the example you gave is still sexist. Unless that woman is also giving the same kind of attention to other women. It’s inherently discriminatory - it’s just…

It depends. Some 14yos want sexual attention from adults for example - it is still wrong to give them that attention. The sexism is because it is discriminatory to only focus on women in this way. Men are not objectified like this by men or by women. At least not to anywhere near the same extent. But yes, I’m moralising. Do you have a problem with people having morals?

Sure they might get turned down, but lots of guys like fat women. The fact that they’re approaching at all shows a level of humility tbh. And you said nothing about their proportions.

No. Because the movie would still be normalising sexist and creepy behaviour.

The only men who needed to take the Red Pill were men who failed at being normal and didn’t realise basic shit like women like good looking men. Women are less coddled about male nature and less likely to be told they should be confident about getting whatever they want. Pretty much no women are shocked that men like hot women lol. The equivalent might be naive women who didn’t realise how many people were attracted to them or that men are often dishonest.

Yeah not all sexism is bad imo. But it is obviously sexist. And yeah, I think maybe if men and women were both uncomfortable being in public due to being objectified it might cease to be sexist.
/r/PurplePillDebate21/06/20 10:50 PM

Lol why all the weird hypotheticals. The making them uncomfortable part is relevant because the normalisation of men behaving like this has made simply existing in society uncomfortable for many women.

I have seen men like this. They’re just not a majority. I’m not doubting the existence - it’s just that they are, observably, not a majority of men. People who think a guy on a date with them touching their back is assault are also a tiny minority of women. Of course there’s context - if her body language is closed off, the date is going poorly and you shouldn’t touch her.

For me it depends on whether the violence is controlled and justified. Any old violence is lame.

What does struggle mean? Everyone takes a while to find the right person - it’s not instant gratification, but that doesn’t mean people are struggling. Most men don’t struggle to approach. This is what I’m saying. The majority of men don’t think about it this deeply they just do it and don’t stress about it. You may find it very hard but a lot of men find it easy and/or even enjoy it.

Sometimes I turn a guy down and he threatens to kill me. It hasn’t stopped me from having sex as an adult because...it’s just background noise, really. I’m not an especially anxious person and it hasn’t affected me deeply.

Yeah, seriously. Like what do you mean you ‘accidentally’ created this whole elaborate set up to corner women and then masturbate in front of them/assault them/whatever. It’s not accidental at all. We all know it.

Did she say ‘my brothers will shoot you if you bother me?’ Did her brothers say this? Honestly it’s just a threat to get you to leave their sister alone - no one is following through unless you continue to creep her out. This is really common and not to be taken super seriously. Like the trope of the dad saying he’ll kill the new boyfriend if he hurts his daughter. My brother and cousins always threatened violence against my boyfriends if they hurt me lol. They were (mostly) not serious.

It really seemed to be more about getting laid.

You just call it a ‘date’ via text later. “Pick you up at 7 for our date?” Easy. My point isn’t about ‘everyone’. Of course some people don’t learn - unfortunate for them. Most men do learn, though.

It’s not just business management. I know because I have the ‘normie’ experience of romance and have also done business management. It’s not the same. There are some parallels, but it’s very different. But sure, I take your point that for ‘non-normies’ it may feel like business management. My original point was that most normal men do not see it this way and most normal men are not terrified to approach women for fear of violating some rule.

I think it’s easier to just feel things out and see whether or not you like someone. If someone told me they didn’t date Geminis or something I’d think they were nuts. MBTI and other personality metrics are somewhat telling, I guess (but they’re hardly scientific or fixed - my MBTI changes from from ENFP to ENFJ to ENTJ for example depending on my mood).

I didn’t know when I met him. I ignored him and thought he was weird and making a fool of himself.

Yes, but you don’t need to learn how to flirt. Many people don’t need to learn how to flirt. It’s natural because it’s how you respond naturally when you like someone. There’s a close resemblance between ‘banter’ shared with close friends and flirting. Flirting is often just teasing with different facial expressions. It’s really not that different or difficult.

I didn’t say you were autistic. Plenty of people who don’t have amazing social skills and aren’t autistic.

You’re a man observing women’s interactions. Women speak differently when men are around. We have our own version of locker room talk. You’re also not getting my point. Would you slap your bosses dick and pinch his nipples because he’s a man? Pants him in the middle of a meeting?

No. It does not. Handsome men have creeped on me at bars and parties before. A hot bartender once asked me if I was naughty as I bought my drink. It was creepy even though he was hot and even though it was a bar because a) I had given no indication I was open to that and b) it was too overtly sexual. But yeah, it goes without saying that you will get less ‘signals’ inviting you to approach if you’re not attractive.

It depends on the context and the signals you are receiving. It’s generally pretty obvious when people want to talk to you. There are lots of contexts - bars, parties, art and music events - that encourage mingling, though, where approaching is usually more acceptable. How would you meet new friends? Would you walk up to strangers and say “Hey my sweater is friend material”? Seem stupid and unlikely to work? Same thing with meeting women.

They did, though. No one thinks about it actively. You just go about your life and you acquire the social skills required to do this by the time you’re like 15. It’s not ‘trial and error’ - it’s more like a transferable skill. If you’ve talked to boys and girls, made friends before, you can adapt those skills and use them in a romantic context. That is, if you are an adaptable person in the first place.

It is a skill most people get because you practice it from childhood onwards. I don’t see how ‘Would you be open to grabbing dinner with me sometime?

This would apply to me asking out the male intern, too). I don’t think being friendly is enough.

It is subjective. It is experienced by individual people. Not harassing people involves reading the room well. Harassment is unwanted behaviour. Not harassing people is also very simple and you won’t get fired for say, politely asking someone out. If you can’t read the room well stick to ‘Would you like to get dinner with me sometime’ rather than ‘god your ass looks amazing’ - especially when at work. Actually if you’re a socially confused person just don’t hit on anyone at work.

It’s really not, though. And if you interpret it that way - you’re bad with nuance or social skills as I said above. Normal men still approach all the fucking time in incredibly appropriate ways. If you can’t read signals well - you shouldn’t approach people at work. But the manner of the approach really changes the whole thing.

I don’t think normal men interpret it this way. There are a whole bunch of people who really don’t find any of this complex and don’t interpret ‘stop bothering and catcalling strangers’ as ‘never express interest’. I think this is mostly an issue for men whose social skills/understanding of nuance is kind of poor.

It’s actually really common for men who are genuinely abusive to only escalate once they have isolated their victim. So following moving in together, getting married, moving away from her family. There are usually red flags before that - but women who have been raised to view toxic love as normal are unable to spot these flags. They tend to only notice they’re being abused or the relationship is toxic when things get physical.

Ime guys who men on reddit would describe as ‘assholes’ are angels to me. Yes, I can observe that they are occasionally dickheads to other men, but why would I care? And why would I stop dating them - they’re good to me. I find neurotic men with emotional problems and chips on their shoulders to be pretty bad partners in the long term. My last boyfriend was amazing on paper - but he was neurotic and it made him behave really weirdly and passive aggressively. It ultimately killed all of my attrac…

It’s probably because they are deeply drawn to toxic people as a result of growing up in toxic households. Or their first boyfriend was abusive and now their‘type’ is set like that. These women likely think AMALT just like the broken men on this sub think AWALT.

Men are exactly the same. Sometimes you can push through - but they’ll never like you as much as you like them. Or they’ll only like you because the other person they were speaking to dropped out of the race. People do know what they want and they do text you back if they like you.

Men who have options have to do the same thing.

But women aren’t ‘interested’ in moody guitar players. They are attracted to them. You’re right. Women are attracted to men.

I think you’ve misunderstood the point of FDS (from what I’ve seen anyway). The point is to get something authentic and genuine from someone who consistently treats you well. The point is not to have something shallow where men throw gifts at you. This is very easy for any somewhat attractive woman to achieve - it doesn’t require a strategy because men will simply offer. It’s like getting offered free drinks at a bar or allowing that cute barista to make your coffees free of charge - you don’t n…

That thread isn’t about conforming to women’s interests. It’s about conforming to what women find attractive - ie be a moody guitar player. Women who find moody guitar players attractive are not usually moody guitar players themselves. I don’t care if my partner shares my hobbies beyond fitness (and even then, all good if you do different stuff to me, I really just want you to be fit), but something like being a gamer will make me next you.

She won’t get back together with you. When someone reaches this point, the relationship is well and truly done.

You made her think relationships weren’t worth it. Now she’d rather just hook up - less painful.

In my observation, a man’s attractiveness has zero to do with whether or not he will commit. One of my friends is an actual model and extremely conventionally beautiful - she dates the weirdest looking men, I honestly have no idea why, and they always have commitment issues. She is objectively much better looking than them, is often as smart and earns as much.

Reciprocity, not transaction. That’s fine. You can date people like that. I don’t see why the issue is? No one is forcing you to take on a masculine role if you don’t want to.

Two decades is not very long. You just said 3D printing is set to replace a lot of manufacturing jobs - and then said someone will need to build machines.

Women usually starfish when they’re not into the sex and just want it to be over quickly.

I’d be fine. I’m mostly set for life. I wouldn’t have to do that as a single person, though. Because I wouldn’t have children as a single person.

I’m saying women have less leisure time than men. If she works 40 hours, he works 48 hours and she then does 10 hours of labour at home to his 1 - she has 1 hour less of leisure time than he does.

You don’t necessarily benefit financially from a relationship tho. If I got married and decided to stay at home, my husband would have to make at least 150% of what I do for my lifestyle to remain similar. Ideally 200%. A lot of the time that isn’t the case and household income remains the same or goes down.

It doesn’t matter why they do it. Men are often absolute messes when they finally ‘open up’ to their SO because they have no other outlet. It’s like the floodgates have opened. They lean on their SOs for significant emotional support they can’t get elsewhere. They’re not breaking down like this because they want to please women. If they did they’d express themselves in a more tempered way - like women.
/r/PurplePillDebate14/06/20 12:20 PM

To be clear, I think women more often stay in relationships that are making them unhappy. And then get married when relationships are making them unhappy. This means they’re more likely to initiate divorce because they were never happy to begin with. I’m talking pre-marriage, not post-marriage. The rest of this is interesting and I’ll take a look - I think if you look at leisure time, women have less of it than men. Domestic labour eats up more than the additional time men spend in the office.

Not being able to get commitment and choosing not to commit to any of your options are a bit different. I think a lot of women are in the second boat. Which is why you see less bitterness.

School is already more than 50% catered towards men. The majority of literature studied in schools is still about men - just one example. There’s really not much evidence to suggest that teachers significantly favour students of their own gender.

Society will not collapse if men become less productive. Women will just pick up the slack. The trend for female breadwinners is upwards. The trend for house husbands is upwards.

You didn’t say it, but it’s what this thread is about lol. Men and women didn’t really ‘get along voluntarily’. Women had no economic power or ability to be independent, so they had to marry men.

It’s well researched. Men don’t really talk to their buddies about their feelings - they just go out and do activities. That’s why men tend to really lean on their SOs for emotional support. “Frenemies” is an alien concept to a lot of women as well. I’ve never had a frenemy and I think by 25+ the vast majority of women no longer have friendships like that.

HR disagrees. Social lines do blur at work. Some colleagues end up becoming friends - at that point the relationship has changed and it may be acceptable to discuss things you would not otherwise.

This just seems like a list of what you want in a woman. It’s designed to benefit you - not the woman. FDS is about women getting what they want, not men getting what they want. It’s pretty clear from reading the FDS sub that they don’t want men like you - MRAs and RP men are considered extremely low value.

Nope. It’s context dependent - not to do with the man’s attractiveness imo. Don’t care how hot you are if you approach me in the wrong situation, you’re getting a glare and maybe some public humiliation. I have called hot guys creeps before because bothering someone who is trying to shop or get the bus or whatever is creepy. I’ve told boyfriends off as well when the context is wrong. I found my last boyfriend attractive (6’2, fit, good jaw line - you would probably all call him ‘Chad’ lol) but h…

It’s really not that subjective. It’s contrary to social norms to bother people in certain places to tell them you think they’re not. That’s why people will call you creepy. If you want to approach women in those places, don’t complain about being called a creep.

If someone is reading a book in public, it seems obvious that they want to be left alone to me. If I’m out drinking with my friends, I have zero interest in hooking up. But I still won’t be too mad if a guy approaches me (unless he does it in a creepy way or continues to persist and waste my time after I’ve told him I’m not interested). The grocery store? 100% of the time very close to 100% of women are going to be mad. It’s not really about how women think it’s about social norms and respecting…

It’s clear that slurs are damaging to the social position of minority groups. Including their reputation.

HVM as defined by FDS seems to be about how he treats you. He has inherent value because of who he is and how he behaves - it’s not about looks or money. They post screenshots. It’s pretty obvious they weren’t rude first lol. I usually take people at face value until it’s obvious they’re lying. Can you explain in one or two sentences how they’re manipulative?

It’s not LVM that have value. It’s companionship. So your major complaint about FDS is that it isn’t what you would consider a strategy? Or it’s not a complex enough strategy? I’ve looked.

/r/PurplePillDebate12/06/20 06:44 AM

No my point is: they want companionship; sometimes they are tempted to date LVM to get companionship; this is generally a bad idea and makes them less happy than being single long term; so they need a strategy to keep disciplined about staying single. I think they have already conceded what you are asking them to concede. That’s why they talk about being or becoming okay with being single. Is your criticism really that they should lower their standards?

/r/PurplePillDebate12/06/20 06:31 AM

I think a lot of people want companionship. It’s tempting to ‘settle’ to get it. It’s not LVM they crave - it’s companionship. Lots of people provide companionship which provides some value - but like junk food, it makes you feel kind of shitty after a while. You haven’t answered my question about what you would prefer they do? What would you find more consistent?
/r/PurplePillDebate12/06/20 06:29 AM
3

That is a strategy. It’s just a very simple one. It’s like when people are on a diet. Their goal is to resist junk food, but sometimes they cave - same thing with FDS and LVM. The goal is to not get involved, but it’s clear from the posts that a lot of the posters are tempted/still learning discipline in this aspect of life.
/r/PurplePillDebate12/06/20 06:21 AM

I don’t agree with that - as I said, I think it is indicative of a values clash. The fact that you and a lot of right wing men also can’t see it as such - also indicative of very different outlooks on life. I’m not really interested in engaging in an argument about what sides of politics align with what outlooks on life. I just figured I’d answer your question. If you think there are ‘sides’ to BLM you get a hard next from me. If you vote right wing, also a hard next. Not my thing.
/r/PurplePillDebate12/06/20 06:19 AM
3

It’s actually a lot harder as a woman, I think. You just get so many offers - if companionship is what you want, it would take some discipline to decline them all in favour of being single. Even if you know the offers are shitty. FDS seems like women who didn’t have that discipline in the past/who were too forgiving.

I go on dates with men I don’t know well, but I meet them in appropriate contexts. Through friends or colleagues or OLD. I have never gone on a date with a stranger who has cold approached me.

Their strategy isn’t to be single. It’s to get a HVM OR be single in the event they can’t. Why is that so hard for you to understand? Lol. Their strategy is just ‘don’t settle’. What would you prefer they do? How do you think they should reframe their goal?

They don’t mind being single. Their strategy is to go for partners they want or stay single - it’s not one or the other. Lots of people are in shitty relationships. It doesn’t follow that most people find relationships so those relationships are good. I don’t know why people find this upsetting. They know their standards are high and they may not find anyone, from what I’ve seen. You think their dating strategy is self defeating, okay. Doesn’t seem rage worthy to me.

I don’t think it makes no sense. Women do report greater unhappiness in relationships than when single. It really doesn’t seem like the majority of men are a net benefit to women’s lives.

Most men are low value to individual women, though. I’m pretty sure that’s their point. Most men aren’t going to be compatible with an individual woman and lots of men will do low effort shit just to try and get laid. If he’s behaving this way, he’s a LVM - it’s not to do with some objective evaluation of him as a person, it’s how he is treating her from what I’ve seen of the sub.

No, I have thought about it, but it’s really better to just assume that people don’t want to be approached in random situations in public.

RP has to tell men to do this because the men who subscribe to RP weren’t doing it initially. They are passive, feminine men, who need a sexual strategy that allows them to find women who will cater to them. Naturally masculine men don’t need to be told ‘approach women’ lol.

You’re quoting someone else. But I’m referring to all the rage RP men seem to have about the burden of initiating and planning dates and how unfair it all is.

I don’t care if RP exists or not. I just think it’s a niche sexual strategy for feminine men to attract the limited pool of women who are willing to date them. See my comments above and the comments of the poster I replied to. It’s pretty clear what I think of as feminine vs masculine.

I am aware of what the year is, but thank you for informing me it’s not the 1950s lol. Women still like masculine men by and large. It’s fine if you’re a feminine man who wants to be chased and treated like you’re the beauty in the relationship, but you have to understand you’re playing in a niche market. Especially if you want a feminine woman. You don’t have to peacock in order to pursue. Lots of men with options still pursue.

For a LTR, I am only interested in really fit, healthy people for lifestyle reasons - so it’s unlikely that I would find myself dating someone who is overweight the way people tend to mean it on the internet. It’s not just about looking good. I don’t date thin men who are good looking but unfit and I don’t date gym bros who look muscular but can’t run a de…

My comment was about leading others on using plausible deniability. I was not commenting on anything to do with the majority of single women. I talked about one specific person. Shrug.

Literally no one in my social circle is overweight. I know no men who date overweight women - none of the men I have dated have dated overweight women before or since. I know I’d be dating different men - I don’t need to try a tinder fat suit experiment to find out haha. People are quite fit and athletic around where I live - it’s mostly the norm here. Other parts of Australia/social classes are obviously different.

It’s the literal same for women. My mother could not have dropped me off without my father’s consent either, because he was involved as a caregiver. You can only do this if you have sole custody and the other parent isn’t really in the picture.

A lot of the time people do lead others on and use the plausible deniability of ‘but we were clear!’ to deny it. A friend of mine is doing this to a guy she’s seeing right now. He clearly wants her to be his girlfriend - he is calling her all the time, trying to take her out to fancy dinners, sending flowers for God’s sake - and she’s like ‘we’re FWB! We said!’ He clearly changed his mind. At this point, she is 100% leading him on and acting poorly.

Lol what was wrong with the women? I didn’t find New York to be more financially shallow than Aus. People are a bit more subtle about it here, though. Is your sister taller than you? I have no idea how 50lbs wouldn’t make a huge difference on a woman.

If the mother isn’t in the picture at all, as many fathers aren’t in the picture, the mother does not have to agree. Even in your weird scenario, once the mother is in jail the state becomes responsible for the child. And taxpayers are paying.

No. For me it will always be a dealbreaker. It’s especially disgusting right now if you’re in the US, though (or anywhere else with significant covid numbers). But ultimately you don’t need internet approval to live your life.

Male primary caregivers have options to give up their children for adoption, to safe havens, to foster care etc where the mother is incapable or disinterested in caring for the child, too. The result is not the same because in one scenario there is a live human child that now needs to be paid for by taxpayers. And in the other, there is no child.

Tall, broad shouldered, good looking and extremely fit. Preferably dark haired, but that’s not a deal breaker. Kind, intelligent, masculine, comfortable with communicating, capable of experiencing emotion without entirely clamming up. Preferably funny. Educated to degree level. Financially stable. Somewhat ambitious. Values a healthy diet. Treats me really well. Good in bed. Generous mindset.

I don’t mind if someone is curious about the ‘why’ but not in a neurotic way. I don’t want to discuss it endlessly or have him pouting all over the place because his dread game isn’t working or he’s not Chad enough. The unattractive part for me is where he stops thinking about my why and starts internalising it and making it about himself.

Most men I’ve been in relationships with assume I’m ‘down’ when they’re down - it just means they initiate a lot and get sometimes get turned down. It’s not ‘entitled’ or arrogant imo unless you whine about getting turned down and guilt trip the other person, imo.

You should be more concerned about why you are attracted to and consistently getting involved with such unstable people.

There’s usually some level of sharing over time - exes feature in stories etc. I personally wouldn’t go into detail about something like past threesomes or whatever because how is it relevant? It doesn’t matter whether he’s comfortable hearing about my sex life or not - it’s kind of a weird thing to really want a partner to share details about & to me it would come across like he was too into it/it was a fetish. If it’s early on I would ghost because we’re not sexually compatible.

Eh. If I gained 50lbs (barring pregnancy) my dating life would change drastically - I’d be dating entirely different people, who would be treating me differently, even if I would still be getting ‘attention’. 30lbs on a guy. I really can’t see it mattering quite as much, especially if you’re somewhat tall. I’m in Australia but I lived in New York for a year and didn’t really see a difference in how shallow people were. But everyone loves an accent - it’s always a bit easier to charm people overs…

I’m not pro-life. Abortion is a complex individual choice - lots of people do think about a child’s wellbeing in that way. It’s an individual choice.
/r/PurplePillDebate10/06/20 07:58 PM

Because the government says so. Because no one will ever mobilise for this cause - most men and most women think you should pay for your own children. Get over it.

Abortion is a medical procedure with significant associated risk that often traumatises people. My comment was about people having consequence free, risk free sex. Abortion is a consequence and a significant one. Signing some papers and taking no further responsibility is not.

No his original point was that he takes responsibility for his own feelings on a date. Not responsibility for planning or the evening or whatever. If your feelings are a direct response to what someone else (your date) is doing, then this is patently untrue. It has nothing to do with whether or not he’s putting in more or less effort. You might take responsibility for your negative feelings after a date by talking to friends, going for a run, blowing off steam on the internet. But on the date - …

When you choose to have sex, you are taking on the risk of having a child. Abortion is illegal or very difficult to access in many places. Many women simply will not get abortions. When you choose to have sex, that is the risk you are taking on.

I don’t know it sounds kind of like they’re either exceptionally dumb or a bit troubled. I mean of course everyone’s standards for someone who is going to be a FWB are lower than their standards for who is going to be a boyfriend (this is logical - you have to spend more time with a boyfriend so you’d better like them more, find them more attractive etc). But having sex in literal garbage heaps just because he’s handsome? Seems a bit much to me. Lots of really handsome men around lol - no need t…

When a woman has an abortion there is no child. When a man has a financial abortion, there is still a child that the state, and therefore taxpayers, will generally need to step in to provide for. If you’re talking about the small number of people who are incapable of taking care of their kids and need to give them up to the foster system - sure. Male primary caregivers have that option, too, where the mother is unwilling or unable to step in and assume care duties.
/r/PurplePillDebate10/06/20 06:43 AM

See my comments about taxpayers under the automod. I don’t want to pay for random people’s kids. That’s why. I think it’s extremely logical to expect everything to be a fair outcome for you as an individual all the time. That’s not how the world works.
/r/PurplePillDebate10/06/20 06:25 AM

I’ve already said why I think men shouldn’t be able to get a paper abortion. I don’t have much to add. ‘But it’s not fair!!!! Women have one more option!!!!’ has not swayed me at all. There’s no reason with the majority of medically necessary abortions. The child usually cannot be successfully carried to term.
/r/PurplePillDebate10/06/20 06:09 AM

If a pregnancy is endangering my life and cannot be carried to term - that is not about choosing whether or not to have a child. It is about not dying for zero reason. This thread is about whether or not people should be able to ‘choose’ to have children via some form of abortion. I never said I didn’t agree with OP. You asked me what I would feel like if I didn’t have the option to choose to abort and I said absolutely fine - that is not an option for me.

Some abortions are medically necessary, yes. I would never have an abortion just to not have a child. It’s just not something I would do - and that is what is being discussed here. It doesn’t comfort me to have that option because it isn’t an option for me. I use multiple forms of birth control like many women - that’s my option.

Working out is a basic thing. It is important to get 30 mins of exercise a day to maintain basic health.

I like sex and am driven to have it. That does not mean sex is my motivation to do everything in life. That is unhealthy. Too often men around here say ‘Well if I can’t get laid why would I not just be obese and destitute!’ Like okay, you do you, but let’s not pretend that attitude is in any way wholesome lol.
/r/PurplePillDebate10/06/20 05:01 AM

Working out is a reward in and of itself. It makes you feel good and good health enables you to live a longer and happier life. Living a comfortable lifestyle is really enough motivation to have a decent career. I don’t get this whole ‘I only do anything to try and get sex’ - it just sounds incredibly messed up to me.
