i'm turned off by promiscuity, i find it revolting. that doesn't mean i think these women are bad people. guess how much pushback that type of preference gets from women in particular? just to be clear, i'm all for people being able to have whatever standards, preferences and icks they want but i don't like the inconsistency so many people seem to have in their ideas.

men just want to have threesomes i think. bi women frequently make terrible long-term partners for the reasons you listed but most men haven't ever dated one so they are just basing it off some fantasy about how they're gonna pick up unicorns as a couple with them.
/r/PurplePillDebate09/08/26 07:32 PM

how many of those are criticized by the very same women who have a list of a couple dozens icks? how much pushback is there on a societal level against male preferences for low body counts for example, or against women having male friends, or them being feminist?

those are the cases where people receive alimony. the financial compensation should be reflective of the opportunity cost that is incurred in regards to future earning potential rather than being about paying lost salaries retro-actively. plenty of women who become homemakers worked as secretaries, waitresses and other occupations that don't have much of a growth curve when it comes to income. they can still get back into the work force with very little financial setback and in those cases the a…

evolutionary biology still affects our behavior in the modern world, there's virtually no denying that. there's a reason why certain tendencies existed for millennia in all kinds of different societies and civilizations that had zero contact with one another. that being said, societal influence plays a major role in modern human behavior as well. the ratio between the two overall is much closer to 50:50 than leaning to either extreme although different aspects of human behavior can be influenced…

in other news, water is wet. different situation if you know the person already and are leaning more traditional though but buying random tinderellas dinner on the first date is some sort of socially normalized humiliation ritual at this point.

labor gap in coupled households is debunked by the american time use survey. do you have any data that shows a notable gap between men and women when it comes to total workload? or are you just conveniently overlooking that men perform more paid labor because as many modern feminists, you don't see the privileges you have while hyperfocusing on every single observable discrepancy that isn't in your favor. it's fascinating how you don't see the irony in calling men bums who can't afford to date f…

women put on makeup to make themselves more attractive and as a result get access to more attractive and desirable men. i'd love if women stopped catfishing and showed up on dates with minimal or no makeup honestly and i'm not interested in reimbursing them for deceiving me about how they look like. women already have institutional equality in the modern western world. men and women both enjoy different privileges socially and face different expectations, the idea that western women are still op…

some men have more money than you will ever have and still aren't interested in paying for liberal feminists who want to pick and choose gender norms like it's a buffet with their interest being largely dependent on tangible benefits they get rather than finding genuine connection. and guess what, some men still get laid regardless of whether or not they do that but that might be hard to fathom for some people i guess. if men splitting bills are broke ass bums crying over minimal amounts of mone…
/r/PurplePillDebate09/08/26 06:56 PM

why are men expected to put in one-sided effort in this matter? what effort is on the women's part? and please don't say putting on makeup for the date.
/r/PurplePillDebate09/08/26 06:47 PM

yes, let me make equalizing investments for future labor with women i'm just getting to know, what a sensible idea really. if women use that as an argument, how about handling the finances a certain way once you get to that point? which by the way, most households do. men are more likely to be breadwinners and men work an equivalent amount of extra hours at their job relative to women's unpaid labor we keep hearing about (source: american time use survey).
/r/PurplePillDebate09/08/26 06:43 PM

it's interesting to see how staunchly women here cling on to gender dynamics that benefit them while likely being liberal, feminist, egalitarian and so on (all of which should be in quotes at this point). yet whenever there's a thread about dating abroad, pretty much the same crowd will talk about transactional relationships yada yada, despite the fact that women in those countries are generally more traditional and in my experience don't tend to have these non-sense expectations we see on weste…
/r/PurplePillDebate09/08/26 06:40 PM

it's kinda baffling to me that this expectation is placed on men on the very first date. he doesn't even know you, chances are it's not going to lead anywhere a lot of the time. it just sounds so performative to me and borderline pedestalizing a woman for the simple fact that she's female. i've been generous in my relationships, i prefer a more traditional dynamic as well although not full tradcon style either. that being said, paying for dinners for a bunch of women who are virtually strangers …
/r/PurplePillDebate09/08/26 06:34 PM

on the first date, the woman sitting in front of me is not too far from a random stranger a lot of the time. also, how are women supposed to show that they're serious about him? and why should a man have enough resources to take care of two people, sounds like women with this mindset are the real bums looking for handouts. how about we normalize women cooking for men on first or second dates, that way she can show that she's serious and that she can cook which is of course attractive to men. dea…

investing implies a return and partner implies you're beyond the early dating stage - which partly boils down to figure out if you are even interested in the first place.
/r/PurplePillDebate09/08/26 06:15 PM

how are men supposed to know if they really like a girl in the early dating stages let alone on the first date? unless they already know her through social circles etc. that's incredibly unrealistic. we might like how she looks, how she comes across on a surface level and so on but everyone is on their best behavior in the initial stages and it takes a while to really get to know a person. some guys might not raise the bar but i was infinitely more generous with women i was in relationships with…
/r/PurplePillDebate09/08/26 06:04 PM

it's interesting that you equate it to being broke. some men have plenty of money but aren't interested in spending a bunch of it on women they might not even end up liking or who might not end up liking them. or on women who feel entitled to their money simply due to the fact that they're women.
/r/PurplePillDebate09/08/26 06:01 PM

she wouldn't be. that being said, wanting a successful partner is not the same thing as expecting people who are essentially strangers to pay for your food the first time you meet. a man having resources is not the same thing as him spending those resources on random ass women in order to 'win their favor' or whatever.
/r/PurplePillDebate09/08/26 05:52 PM

there's a difference between caring about a man's finances and expecting him to spend money on you. a pretty big difference if you ask me.
/r/PurplePillDebate09/08/26 05:50 PM

there is no love in the dating stage and you specifically said unattractive in your initial comment. physical attraction obviously matters for both men and women and neither side wants to make themselves less attractive on purpose. attraction is important. if a woman's interest is based on whether or not i'm willing to spend money on her before even getting to know her that's not something i'd be interested in though. it's even worse if they're 'feminist' and 'egalitarian' but still pick and cho…

if you are not choosing as a man as well you just don't have any options by definition. even in that case being single is a choice you can make as well. no guys in my circles just went with whatever woman showed them any interest, they all chose their gfs and wives out of many available women around them - they chose who they pursued. plenty of them have rejected women who were pursuing them as well, whether it was upfront or on the backend i.e. not committing to something serious/long-term - be…

being baby trapped is trivial but a guy knocking you up and bouncing isn't? not to mention that some guys are literally getting cucked by the women they're with as well. is it trivial to unknowingly raise another man's child with a cheating parasite too?

true, plenty of men also choose bad women and put up with shit for the sake of not being alone and probably not having that many options. if you choose someone just because you don't want to be single or you go solely for looks or good sex, be prepared to deal with the consequences and don't bitch about it after and expect people to be sympathetic when the writing was on the wall all along. there are of course instances for both men and women where it's not really on them - even people without a…

women go on about the history of female oppression and the patriarchy, meanwhile they live in the most comfortable time in history in egalitarian societies with equal rights, enjoying certain privileges like favorable treatment in courts and are subsidized by men on a tax payer level.

conceptually accurate i think but there's another component to it. women can date guys out of their league casually and they often want to lock them down for commitment as well. that's why you hear women complain about situationships rather than men. men choose the 'marriage type' woman over someone they'd just hookup with - women often settle because they can't get the guy they really want to begin with. huge difference.

misandrist has a clear dictionary definition actually and i think misogyny is thrown around just as much if not more randomly these days if anything. like women call men misogynists for calling out specific female behavior or particular subsets of women etc., for having certain preferences, for being anti abortion and various other things that have nothing to do with an inherent hatred of women as a group.

it's fascinating how comfortable women are to be openly misandrist when men collectively could easily strip them of their rights and return them to property status if they truly wanted to. i get that society is encouraging this stuff right now to create further divide because divided people are easier to control but still, you'd think if men as a group were truly that evil you'd be more careful expressing such opinions, no?

idk about redpill but there are grifters messaging toxic BS to young women for sure. shera7, nazarenko or their queen thewizardliz for example (more youtube subs than most of the manosphere combined btw), plenty of dating podcasts, self-proclaimed relationship/dating 'experts' and so on. more than half of red pill content is reacting to that shit if i'd have to estimate and they never run out of stuff to react to it seems.

factually incorrect based on objective data. ethnicity might not be the cause for observable discrepancies but you simply stated an (incorrect) observation so distinguishing between correlation and causal effects is a different topic.

i'm pretty sure single in that study just means unmarried and includes unmarried couples. quick google query seems to confirm this, i cba to check the study itself right now. The Morgan Stanley projection that 45% of women in the prime working age group (25–44) will be single by 2030 defines "single" specifically as not married.

there is data that shows that women are more selective in casual dating contexts when it comes to certain traits like physical attractiveness. both compared to men and compared to their own long-term mate preferences. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40750-020-00152-2 women get to date 'out of their league' in short-term scenarios since men lower their standards in those same instances. it's more difficult to regularly sleep with attractive women casually than it is to land a relations…

i wish that was true, i filter out so many more women based on things that aren't looks related rather than the other way round. unless we're counting the fact that i don't date women in their 50s etc. the average woman looks pretty good where i live though tbf and i like pretty girl next door types over 'insta baddies'. i guess i lived in places where it was more difficult to find women who are attractive compared to having a good/pleasant personality that works for me as well.

access to casual sex is heavily concentrated on a small male demographic. it's not random average dudes who regularly get laid with no strings attached. not a blackpill looksmaxxer or whatever either here btw, just someone who lives in reality.

the casual sex partner doesn't have to do much and still gets access to the most intimate part of her. meanwhile good long term guy is probably paying for shit, putting in more effort and so on to get there - in a lot of cases she wouldn't have hooked up with him with no strings attached. a lot of the time the reason the casual dude is not viewed as a good long-term partner is because he doesn't want to be one for the woman he's hooking up with and plenty of women also chase after guys who only …

how do you infer that? do you disagree with the notion that some men actually do pedestalize women entirely? i think you're just putting words in his mouth because that's what the post 'feels' like to you. i'll give men the advice not to pedestalize women any day of the week if they ask me but i've also treated the women i've dated well and with kindness. pedestalizing is a one-sided dynamic where one party doesn't value their own position at all in comparison to the other. this is something i'v…

i don't do that but that's what the thread is about to a degree - since a lot of dating happens through the apps (which i barely use myself these days). a lot of women online have the expectation that men should pay for whatever activity for various BS reasons. most of the women on OLD platforms are liberal and feminist so this stance seems very entitled, hypocritical and opportunistic to me in many cases. a lot of people go on a lot of dates before finding a long-term partner because you're dea…

you are talking about very specific and uncommon examples that don't move the needle when looking at the average american household. the average data already accounts for all relationship types relative to their weighting and it turns out that the workload is fairly equal between men and women. for that to be the case there must also be relationships where men work more than women in total, otherwise the resulting data would look different. this is how statistics work on a fundamental basis so i…

on the first couple of dates? i think it's very reasonable to do so, especially when dealing with complete strangers like meeting people off dating apps. most interactions don't go anywhere and i don't think whoever earns more owes a stranger anything financially. i make more money than most of my friends and they never expect me to pay a share of their bill when out and about - and these are people i've known for years rather than some random i talked to briefly online. within a committed and e…

child care is included. having an infant is not 24/7 work and men are contributing in those instances as well, just less because they work more hours at their job. child care is very reactive and the resulting workload is highly fragmented but that doesn't mean it's constant non-stop work all day. calling it 24/7 work is just another hyperbole not based in reality whatsoever.

the numbers i quoted are including both paid and unpaid work already, it's not the reason for a discrepancy in leisure time. first off, women in this sample sleep 1.5 hours more per week on average. the other notable difference is time spent on personal care and grooming - that's not something men dump onto women either. men's work is also less fragmented which allows for different time management in regards to leisure activities. either way, the general presentation on the topic going around in…

it's indeed not great that women apparently don't split the bill simply because they actually believe in equality and egalitarianism, even when they are feminists when it benefits them. it shows a lack of character, inconsistent values, opportunism and hypocrisy. now i don't think all women are like that but it's you who framed it this way to begin with. either way plenty of such women do exist unfortunately, i'm just glad that i never have to deal with them for any reason whatsoever.

none of this is the norm - if it is, you should be able to provide an actual source. i've already referenced the ATUS by pew research in another post here and it contradicts your claim entirely. people who use statistical outliers to justify their hatred towards an entire demographic of people are mentally unwell and/or rather unintelligent.

women don't bring in half the household income and they don't do 90% of the chores either. men work more hours at their job while women spend more time on domestic labor and the total workload ends up being very close to even. that's the reality based on actual data rather than sensationalist feminist talking points that have no basis whatsoever. you can look up the american time use survey by pew research yourself for reference.

if it's the first couple of dates, how is a guy even supposed to know he actually likes the woman? especially on the initial meeting, that's borderline impossible. the woman might not even be interested either or lose interest before things go anywhere. there's a pretty big difference between the initial dating stage and marriage but even in the latter case, women who are egalitarian and feminist should pay their fair share and not cling on to benevolent sexism and one-sided gender roles.

'women who have difficulties dating' this is literally part of your OP and the most common complaint i hear from women who struggle in dating is a lack of commitment from men. you also brought up commitment and directly tied it to a woman's sexuality in the comments (for example, claiming that when men don't commit, the sex must suck). of course women's value as sexual partners is mostly correlated with their own level of sexuality, libido and so on. that's not what your title says though and it…

successful with women in general, aka men with options. they don't commit to women just because the sex is good because they don't operate in scarcity and can be more discerning while still having enough women to choose from. the reason i'm repeating it is because you've also said 'If they don't, the sex must suck, among other things.' in regards to men (not) committing - which contradicts the idea that it is only part of the equation. you also kept the OP broad ('women who have difficulties dat…

it's reductive because there are plenty of women who are great in bed but struggle with getting commitment from the caliber of men they desire. as i said, it's a factor but not the entire equation and when it comes to long-term commitment, marriage etc. it's far from that. the idea that all a woman has to do boils down to a good sex life in order for me to want something serious is kind of absurd to me. i didn't operate this way even in my hormone fueled teens and early 20s and neither did my fr…

you said it yourself, partly. it's a factor, not the whole equation. if you'd date former sex workers with BPD just because the sex is great i don't think you're making good, rational decisions in life. it sounds like something linked to a scarcity mindset, feeling like you have to lock down any woman who is good in bed and has a high libido while overlooking everything else. intelligent, successful men don't operate this way in my experience.

plenty of people trusted someone blindly and got burned - 100% complete trust simply doesn't line up with any statistical realities of our world and human behavior. just take a look at how many people cheat, people can be and are mislead all the time in the real world. in my opinion, the stakes are simply too high when it comes to paternity to not get a definitive confirmation, even if men believe that the chance their partner cheated is incredibly low to almost non-existent. nobody can determin…

tell that to the hundreds of thousands of men unknowingly raising another man's kid. that's a very serious real life consequence, not some hurt feelings from someone asking for a paternity test. i think men should just do it without telling their partners tbh. that's what i'd do at least.

but those other boxes are not just down to her sexuality, which is the point. a woman might lack in areas that are entirely unrelated, even if the sexual aspect is great. not every guy is going to cling on to any woman with a high libido who's a bit more adventurous in bed.

leaning asexual detracts from a woman's value on the dating market - it's part of the metrics that are very relevant for men, generally speaking. it's just not the only metric which is why i think OPs view is reductive. women can struggle in dating for various reasons but if you want to make a generalization i actually think the most accurate one would be that they don't offer enough for the level of man they seek.

i think the best way to protect your assets is to not have shared assets to begin with. i never had a joint bank account with any of my ex gfs, the idea seems absurd to me if anything even if that is technically a possibility. you can protect premarital assets in a marriage but you can't protect your income generated during marriage in the same way. how many people out there do you hear complaining about losing their assets after breakups compared to divorces? unless they're from a state with st…

the term is overused in today's discourse to begin with. a guy who isn't interested in long-term relationships with women who are promiscuous doesn't have a madonna-whore complex. that's not what freud talked about or how he defined it. a fundamental part of the concept is that men are unable to or struggle with feeling desire for women they are emotionally attached to. this is not the case for the vast majority of men who simply show a certain level of discernment when it comes to long-term par…

human sexuality is asymmetrical so i don't see the hypocrisy personally. having sex indiscriminately is not the same for women and men and neither is our biological wiring that influences our long-term mate selection. that doesn't mean it's good for men and bad for women but it's simply not the same based on objective biological factors so why should people be expected to view it the same way? because of some modern deluded notion of equality at all costs? but either way - does it mean that it's…

yes, men have baggage too but that doesn't mean that baggage is an attractive quality in a romantic partner - in particular baggage relating to dating/sex. what level of baggage people 'tolerate' is up to them and depends on their own age/life circumstances etc. of course. it has nothing to do with wanting to 'control innocent minds' though (exceptions exist), it's just not an attractive quality but rather a net-negative.

if a man deliberately deceives a woman to get her to sleep with him, i think it's valid for her to feel used after. that's not always what happens though. sometimes a guy might look for a relationship but decide that a particular woman isn't for him some time after they have sex. or a woman might enter a casual dating dynamic willingly in hopes that a guy will change his mind at some point. in these kind of cases you can't blame the guy for any wrong doing.

the age of consent in most of the western world is 16, so they already could go younger if they're dating a 19 year old. not a very good argument if you ask me. the narrative that men who can pull off age gap relationships can't attract women their age is out of touch with reality. attracting younger women is generally harder, not easier. looks being part of the equation is completely normal for anyone who is dating, man or woman, age gap or not.

i think it's a bit different in mixed friend groups and especially when you're younger or at least it can be. i had a bunch of female friends in college because we had plenty in common at that time: going out, partying and just generally trying to have a good time and while also not really having that many hobbies (which are often skewed towards either gender). nowadays in my 30s though, not so much really and i'm only around female friends (i'd probably call them acquaintances) when hanging out…

when people have different definitions for certain words and you want to have an objective discussion about a related subject, it's kinda important to establish a definition for that sake i'd say. there was a topic about guys having/not having female friends just a couple of days ago after all which prompted this thread. i'm friendly with a bunch of women in my social circles or hobby spaces. we have conversations when we happen to be around each other, get along well and so on but i don't reall…

but why would the onus be on one person rather than the other to start that conversation? if anything it should be the party that 1) wants to change the status quo of the relationship (for example, getting married) and 2) has a higher relative opportunity cost (i.e. the person who has a specific outcome and/or timeline in mind). personally i'm assuming that women who are not bringing up these topics don't really care that much about specific outcomes and date more so for the the sake of dating (…

i've never said those things personally but the problem with your argument is that it only focus on the supply side, overlooking demand as a metric entirely. men and women have different mating strategies, women are more selective, we have different perceptions of the attractiveness of the opposite sex and women are happier with the prospect of being single than men are (on average of course). this is what creates an asymmetry, not a skewed gender ratio (although that exists as well on dating ap…

to put it in economic/technical terms: in negotiation theory, there is a fundamental asymmetry between wanting a change of status (in this case marriage) and wanting to maintain the status quo (remaining unmarried). in any decision-making matrix, the burden of initiation lies with the party seeking to alter the current state. this might sound a bit unromantic but this kind of marriage discussion does fit the definition of a negotiation. at the same time, the party seeking marriage is the one tha…

men and women value/prioritize different traits in their partners on average, to varying degrees - just looking at age doesn't really prove a general point. when it comes to finances or height for example, men have much less rigid standards than women. and the data you're referring to shows men's rating of physical attractiveness relative to age, not that they are only interested in women in their early 20s. that's a pretty big difference.

but they seemingly can't tell when a guy is misogynistic/abusive/just wants to fuck or whatever as long as he looks good and is charming. if women's intuition was so accurate they wouldn't have issues with dating for the most part.

i already provided an explanation on the differences between paternity tests and an actual accusation. if you didn't understand them, i am not sure how i can make it more clear - but claiming someone has done something is not the same thing as making sure that they didn't. there also have been cases of babies being mixed up at the hospital for what it's worth, so there's that too. no infidelity involved at all.

economic disparity can affect genuine desire, as can other factors such as being taller than the local population or being perceived as exotic, different beauty standards and expectations. personally i don't think its hard to figure out whether a woman is actually into you, whether there's a financial imbalance or not. at least if you have any semblance of social skills, can read body language etc. and don't lie to yourself.

women frequently abuse the inherent power or leverage they have over men in the context of dating, but far from every woman does this and the same can be said for men who find themselves in relationships that are technically unbalanced based on some metrics. there are also women who are much more experienced romantically compared to their partners and use that to their advantage but i have never seen a woman call out this dynamic personally. it's always about men dating younger or men dating poo…

power balances are not a problem inherently, as long as one person doesn't take advantage of the other one. the people who generalize and demonize relationships with power imbalances without any nuance generally do so because of their own self-interest and/or ideological position. you can date someone making a fraction of your income or being a decade+ younger without abusing those dynamics. just because the potential is there in theory doesn't mean it's bound to happen.

do you consider a sizeable gap in dating experience to be a power imbalance? because this is something i've never seen women call out as predatory, it's always just things like age-gaps or financial power imbalances (often fixated on specific examples like dating foreign women - most would not turn down a man because he's 'too rich')

the issue is that short-term and long-term mate value are very different for women. when women base their expectations for long-term partners on their short-term mate value, it's not going to work out the vast majority of the time. that's their problem of course, i don't care personally.

the issue with that is that even in the most egalitarian societies, except maybe some scandinavian countries, men are still the ones playing the active role when it comes to approaching and pursuing. given the social context, simply making 1:1 comparisons doesn't make too much sense to me. it's also a pretty simplistic way of putting things. if the woman in question didn't wear revealing outfits while going out to night clubs or posted thirst traps, there wouldn't be nearly as many men acting on…

that doesn't really answer my question. if women frequently have bad dating outcomes in terms of being rejected for long-term relationships, is it them? i'm not talking about cases of SA or other things like that to be clear. i've lurked on female subreddits in the past and i can honestly say that i don't think i have seen a single woman tell another woman that she's the problem if all she can get are hookups and situationships. at best the problem with her is her selection pattern, never a pote…

i highly doubt that there are just as many men doing that, but it's going to be difficult to prove definitively guess. most dating type of content online in general is made by women though, there are statistics on that at least. people on social media at least partially reflect the cultural zeitgeist today. there's not just hundreds of creators who put out this type of content, there are also millions of real people following them. besides, is any of this type of discussion even occurring offlin…

well, for one women contribute less taxes so there's that. in fact average earning women (aka most women) are net tax beneficiaries, not net contributors in the US. on the other hand the comment specifically pointed out that women need men's resources less and less and even if it's not exclusively men's resources to fund single motherhood as outlined by the paper, it is primarily. that's why there's a distinction.

different strokes for different folks. in my experience, traditionally masculine men (or typical man's men) don't tend to seek out close friendships with women. they'd rather have a beer with the boys, go golfing, watch sports, play cards while bantering etc. than go to the theatre or an art gallery, see a musical or have dinner with a group of female friends or chat about their feelings. not that there's anything wrong with the latter, it just doesn't appeal to a lot of men of that demographic.…

if you're unable to get what you ask/look for, it's unrealistic by definition. now you can have all the unrealistic standards you want in whatever area of life, just don't blame other people for the lack of outcomes you seek. women frequently do this in dating by blaming the quality of men for their permanent single status for example - which of course will create pushback on the narrative from men.
