| 2 | Common misconception: The fourth wave of feminism didn't descend into men-hating. Feminism was a men-hating movement from the beginning.Feminism isn't really about equality. It's primarily about the self-aggrandizement of women. Feminists are pretty uninterested in 'equalizing' social conventions / aspects of life where women have an advantage over men. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/11/24 01:54 PM |
| – | The bar is in hell for womenThere’s a lot of things that women care about with their appearance that men don’t care about. Make-up works though. Dressing in ways to make your body shape more appealing works. Having nice hair helps a lot too. Sometimes though it is putting lipstick on a pig. So many women are not a healthy weight . . . fat is so unattractive | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/11/24 04:36 PM |
| 1 | The Red Pill is the most effective strategy for men in the world of modern dating.I think 'hypergamy' is worth emphasizing because you are right, it really stands in direct contrast to blue pill. But on the other hand, I think hypergamy is a $10 word for a simple idea: women are selfish. Society lies a lot about how women behave in romantic relationships. Women have created this entire bullshit relationship language / jargon which hides women's needy / self-serving behavior behind a 'I'm just doing what's right and am serving others' facade. It's obnoxious. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/11/24 05:00 PM |
| 3 | The Red Pill is the most effective strategy for men in the world of modern dating.It sounds nice and fair and on its face is compatible with the stated principles of feminism and so that's why women SAY it, but they they don't really WANT an 'equal partner'. They want the man to lead in the relationship. Being a good leader doesn't mean that you are 'controlling'. That's how a bad leader behaves. That's being a petty tyrant. If you are a good leader, she will want to follow you. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/11/24 04:39 PM |
| 1 | The Red Pill is the most effective strategy for men in the world of modern dating.Yeah.

| 3 | The Red Pill is the most effective strategy for men in the world of modern dating.I would summarize Red Pill as 'women's behavior in dating / romantic relationships / marriage is primarily / heavily driven by their sexual attraction to the man', and it provides a list of qualities / behaviors in men that women find to be sexually attractive. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/11/24 04:09 PM |
| 1 | The Red Pill is the most effective strategy for men in the world of modern dating.It's not said outright, but it is the implicit assumption in 'mainstream' dating advice. We make so many excuses for women's bad behavior in dating, romantic relationships, and marriage. Men are held to a higher standard. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/11/24 04:03 PM |
| 1 | Abruptly learning about female standards can lead to mental disarrayI'm glad that I stumbled on the red pill dating advice. It helped me out a lot. The conventional dating advice says that women select for GOOD guys and reject BAD guys. If you aren't successful in dating, this really is an unhealthy message to receive. I really was down on myself and thought that something was seriously wrong with me. Then I read the red pill stuff and learned: dating women is difficult if you aren't an exceptional guy. Women don't really select for good guys in dating--that's a… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/11/24 10:16 AM |
| – | If love, relationships, companionship, attention and affection of women isnt a reward for men's good behavior, then how come the deprivation of all of those things is some sort of punishment for morally broken behavior?It sounds like we broadly agree. Except . . . While women who wanted to date him can point his flaws out easily. You don't know this guy. He really absolutely is 100% what woman SAY that they want on paper. He's not just a 'decent guy'. He is really a very great person. His flaws are shallow ones--he's too boring and/or not physically attractive / impressive enough. The red pilled dating advice would work REALLY WELL for him. So I’d say that women primarily choose for virtue and personality - wi… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/08/24 11:58 AM |

| 1 | Most of unrealistic beauty standards are imposed on women by other womenYou are probably underestimating the number of women you encounter in your daily life who are attracted to you. Men tend to do this. Nah, men tend to have the opposite bias. They tend to overestimate how attractive they are. Nothing else you've said in your post really has convinced me otherwise--you, like my girlfriend, probably are underestimating your own appeal.

| 4 | Most of unrealistic beauty standards are imposed on women by other womenHow so? Divorce rate is lower for gay guys. Married gay guys report that they are happier with their marriage partners than straight guys. Meanwhile, women routinely blow up straight and lesbian marriages. Learning that lesbian marriages are the most volatile kind of marriage was such an eye opening stat for me. It really made me question the feminist narratives surrounding romantic relationships. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/07/24 06:03 PM |

It’s really insulting to get dating advice which implies the opposite though. Men routinely get told that if you struggle with dating, it’s probably because you are a bad person. That’s often very far from the truth. Men absolutely pay more attention and interest to beautiful women than plain ones. Of course! This is well known!

| 1 | Most of unrealistic beauty standards are imposed on women by other womenThe lesbian divorce rate is such a dagger in the heart to women’s theory of divorce—“it’s the man’s fault.” I think that women aren’t really wired for marriage. They lose interest in their partner after a while. They tend to be serial monogamists. Men surprisingly are more cut out for marriage than women are. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/07/24 04:25 PM |
| 5 | Most of unrealistic beauty standards are imposed on women by other womenYeah, it is well known that romantic relationships are easier for men if you are gay. Marrying a man is a much better decision than marrying a woman. Guys in gay marriages are happier and divorce less. Lesbian marriages are extremely volatile and divorce is very common. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/07/24 04:11 PM |
| 3 | Most of unrealistic beauty standards are imposed on women by other womenThere are way too many fat women for me to believe that women really put that much effort into their appearances.

| 2 | Sexually unsuccessful men are like scientistsWhere did I say that? Again, it is terrible advice to people dating women to tell them that they shouldn't worry about divorce. The smart mindset to have when getting married to a woman is to do it knowing that it is pretty likely that she will divorce you. You should be mentally prepared for the possibility of that happening. It is not something that only happens to bad people. It happens to everyone who marries women. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/07/24 09:56 PM |

| 2 | Sexually unsuccessful men are like scientistsTalking to women about this isn't very productive.

When a woman rejects a guy, she is loathe to admit to herself and to others that she rejected him for being ugly, short, bald, fat, boring, poor, whatever. Instead, she would prefer to tell herself that she didn't select the guy because he had some kind of character or moral flaw.

| 2 | When looking for dating advice, the best people to give it would be those who are not that different from you when it comes to attractiveness, but has been more successful than you to get a decent partnerNo, this isn't true. I think the truth is that being boring, passive, and untalented as a woman isn't a death knell for your dating life. It is if you are a man. When you date women, you are more penalized for your flaws than when you date men. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/06/24 01:34 PM |

Maybe 1-3 were kind of sketchy, that was in my early twenties too but since then all the other ones were decent but I just didn’t feel them. Yeah, this makes sense.

There is a reason why dating advice for men is usually 'here is a list of ways to improve yourself so that you can get a date' and why dating advice for women is usually 'here is a list of flaws to spot in the guy who you are already dating.'

This is the case which is very scary for good guys. Those surveys about cheating are self-reported.

In the few times I have rejected women, a large fraction of them have taken it EXTREMELY poorly, and have taken out their frustrations on me.

Women lose attraction to the guy (it is just a part of women's sexuality--women like novelty) and take it out on him. It explains the reason why divorce is initiated by the woman in such a lopsided manner. It explains why a marriage between two guys is the type of marriage which is most likely to be successful, and why the more women you add to a marriage, the more … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/03/24 08:20 AM |

| -3 | Men are not blindsided by breakups/divorce as much as they thinkYeah, it’s a scapegoat. Often the real problem is that they lose sexual attraction to the guy. But either they are confused by their loss of attraction or they lie to themselves and others about it. It is a horrible thing to admit. It is easier to blame it on the chores.

| 1 | Marraige is a net loss move for men.Yeah but usually the man comes into the marriage with more assets, so there usually is a net transfer of wealth to the woman. Women don't often marry down . . . if you were one of them, you are unusual. And then often there is child support and alimony on top of that. If alimony & child support are not counted in the post-income stats then they are misleading, right?

| 3 | Marraige is a net loss move for men.I have heard that the financial stats post-divorce are misleading. Why? It is because when they look at men's and women's income, post-divorce, they don't count the alimony payments, which usually go from the man to the woman. This is because the tax on the alimony income is paid for by the higher earner, usually the man, and doesn't appear in e.g. the 'adjusted gross income' line on the 1040. The stats use income numbers from income tax forms. Can you disprove the above claim? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/03/24 08:25 PM |

| -1 | Marraige is a net loss move for men.It is difficult to examine this on a case-by-case basis, if you are a guy.

| – | Why do women get upset that men watch porn?There are way more men than women on online dating apps. If a woman doesn't have unusual circumstances and has reasonable expectations, it should be pretty easy for her to get a boyfriend. It is a buyer's market for women. It allows her to land guys who she probably wouldn't have been able to get in the era prior to the dating app. Because it is such a buyer's market for women, it seems like a lot of women who don't quickly get off the app and who spend a lot of time on dating apps become more i… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/03/24 09:53 AM |
| – | Why do women get upset that men watch porn?Because women love to be the center of attention, and anything which interferes with her being the center of attention is bad. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/03/24 08:59 AM |
| 1 | The reason men "have such low standards" is because they assume that any woman they get with to change to fit the mold of their ideal life.They SHOULD be taught to temper their sexuality. IMO they should be taught the following truth: in marriage, it is not unusual to lose attraction to your husband over a long period of time. It is a normal part of women’s sexuality. Don’t blame your internal change in emotional state on some phantom thing that the guy did or didn’t do. No amount of chores will make you feel the same way that you did about him in the beginning of the relationship. Don’t enter into marriages with an expectation to … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/02/24 05:18 PM |
| 1 | If personality is so important, why wont women fall for their male friends more?Yeah, this is one of the great paradoxes of women’s sexuality. Women crave novelty and excitement and so they seek out guys like that, but they also tend to want commitment, long term relationships, and children. That kind of guy is kind of the opposite of the kind of guy you would want to help raise your kids. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/02/24 04:39 PM |
| 1 | The reason men "have such low standards" is because they assume that any woman they get with to change to fit the mold of their ideal life.I think blue pill dating/relationship advice can be summarized as: “whatever the woman wants is always right”, and “if you just do what she says and treat her right, both she and you [the guy] will live happily ever after.” I agree—men’s sexuality can be very destructive. But this is well known. It is drilled into every guy’s head starting from a young age that the male sex drive is not conducive to polite society, and must be tempered. Women are not really taught the same thing nor are held to … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/02/24 04:10 PM |
| – | The reason men "have such low standards" is because they assume that any woman they get with to change to fit the mold of their ideal life.I think you are rejecting the obvious conclusion because it is politically incorrect. That is such a revealing stat. It is such a dagger in the heart to the idea that mainstream/blue-pilled relationship advice actually is worthwhile to heed. No the woman is NOT always right and often doesn't know what is best for her. Often women's sexuality is a destructive force. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/02/24 01:39 PM |
| 1 | Why do you care what men masturbate to?You do not understand the male sex drive and so will never really get what dating & long term relationships / marriage are like from a man's point of view. Most guys are sex-starved. Only a small percentage of men get the same access to sex that most women do. You are blinded by your privilege in this respect. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/02/24 12:07 PM |
| -2 | Men should be able to safely approach women without fear of humiliation or being shamed, and there should be more venues other than bars for meeting womenIt is much more socially acceptable for women to be rude to men than it is for men to be rude to women. Your feelings are more important than his. This is one of the many privileges of being a woman. I was posing for a picture at a run club I was attending with a group of people, and the woman taking the picture (who is the type of woman who likes to create conflict) said something to the woman standing next to me in the photo like: 'you know people will think you and that guy [me] are a couple … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/02/24 10:08 AM |
| – | Why do you care what men masturbate to?Yeah, I will agree with you here. It's really funny to me in how in sex-positive circles how something which is bad becomes unabashedly good whenever someone gets a boner (or a woman gets aroused) to it. The fact that a lot of women like rough sex I think reveals something pretty dark about women's psychology in general, but the way sex-positive people compartmentalize sex things and everything else to wallpaper over stuff like that seems silly to me. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/02/24 09:53 AM |
| – | Why do you care what men masturbate to?You probably aren't as interested in sex as the guys who watch porn. You will never understand the male sex drive, and how men are expected to repress it to be a member of polite society. You are commenting on something which you don't really understand. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/02/24 09:46 AM |
| – | Why do you care what men masturbate to?I don't think that this is true. I do think that porn demotivates guys to pursue women, which IS a big social problem. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/02/24 09:24 AM |
| 0 | The reason men "have such low standards" is because they assume that any woman they get with to change to fit the mold of their ideal life.Since when does the guy pressure the woman into having kids? In the stereotypical relationship, it is the other way around. Since when does the messy partner pressure the clean partner into having a clean place? These are pretty strange hypotheticals. The reason why guys act in the way you complain about is that if most guys became more close-minded about who they dated, they wouldn't get any dates at all. Beggars can't be choosers. If you are just an average guy, you have to be pretty open-mind… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/02/24 09:12 AM |
| -1 | The reason men "have such low standards" is because they assume that any woman they get with to change to fit the mold of their ideal life.What I got out of this thread of discussion is that some women are full of themselves.

| 6 | The reason men "have such low standards" is because they assume that any woman they get with to change to fit the mold of their ideal life.the women who are somehow baffled that doing the same thing repeatedly and applying zero thought isn't leading to success. Dating advice for men basically assumes that women are all this way. Expecting women to not judge a book by its cover is a losing strategy. To be attractive to women, you HAVE to work on being the type of guy who is good at making a good first impression. Don't expect women to change how they act in dating--they are pretty comfortable sitting on their thrones. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/02/24 09:04 AM |

| 1 | Apparently women in your "friends circle" really dislike you hitting on themGood principle to live by: don't do things based on what women say. Women often act differently from how they say that they act. In addition, women often act in contradictory ways, because they tend to act on their feelings, and owing to their biology, their feelings towards something/someone often change. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/02/24 08:26 AM |
| – | Women don't seem to like menBut I don't think I'm too off when I say that the majority want their guy to fit that mold of sensitive, good-looking, hygienic, responsible, equally contributing, fun to interact with, respectful, understanding, communicative and non-misogynistic. You know, normal good qualities you'd expect. Being a pleasant, responsible member of society and a reasonable guy doesn't doesn't make you attractive to women. Being attractive to women is totally orthogonal to that. Many men are told stuff like this… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/02/24 12:22 PM |
| – | Women don't seem to like menBecause in our culture, the average man does a piss-poor job of being intellectually, aesthetically, personally or even sexually appealing to women and most do not seem interested in or capable of doing any better. That's not really the fault of the man. This is just a part of women's sexuality. Women just aren't attracted to average guys. Like if one day we woke up, and suddenly all guys were like six inches taller / 2x as handsome and successful, whatever, women wouldn't suddenly be swarmed wi… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/02/24 12:06 PM |
| – | Cheating when you have a dead bedroom isn't justified but it is understandable.Why do you say this? Whenever a woman cheats on a man, the first question often asked is: what did the guy do/in what way was he lacking to make her cheat? It's a little fucked up how women get to evade responsibility in this situation, IMO | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/02/24 11:47 AM |
| 1 | women seriously dating men to whom they arent attracted? where?he'd been someone they had found initially attractive but after marriage he'd turned out to be emotionally distant or unavailable/a slovenly manchild/abusive/some other trait nobody wants to be married to How can a woman date someone for years, get married, and only AFTER marriage figure something like this out. Something about this narrative doesn't make sense . . . | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/02/24 12:43 PM |
| 2 | the ultimate force that is shaping womens' frustration with dating is the engine of hypergamy raising her standards without her concious awarenessI’m sorry, but that is just not true. Married guys who cheat are judged WAY more harshly than women who cheat. In mainstream relationship/dating advice, women almost get a free pass for cheating / divorce / running through a bunch of guys. For example, it is extremely taboo to suggest that a woman’s dating/relationship history influences her current behavior and to condition your treatment of a woman on her past actions. The idea that you should be more suspicious/skeptical towards of a divorcee… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/02/24 09:03 PM |
| 1 | the ultimate force that is shaping womens' frustration with dating is the engine of hypergamy raising her standards without her concious awarenessThis is getting repetitive. Let me try a different tack. In your narrative, you mention that women sacrifice a lot for their husbands. Honestly, I see it more the other way around. I’m curious—what are wives sacrificing exactly? You are proving my point when you portray women who make the conscious decision to abandon their wedding vows as being hapless victims of society. It seems like in the realm of romantic relationships, you don’t grant women much agency. You even managed find some way to b… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/02/24 06:28 PM |
| 1 | the ultimate force that is shaping womens' frustration with dating is the engine of hypergamy raising her standards without her concious awarenessMaybe we are talking about two different things again. I’m sorry, in the case of divorce, I just don’t buy that narrative for the reasons I went over earlier. Another clue I mentioned earlier which hints that divorce is primarily internally driven on the part of the woman is to look at the lesbian divorce rate. Your theory can’t even explain why lesbian divorce even exists, much less why it happens more often than in heterosexual marriages. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/02/24 04:19 PM |
| 1 | the ultimate force that is shaping womens' frustration with dating is the engine of hypergamy raising her standards without her concious awarenessYou aren’t getting it. The guy’s girlfriend treats him differently than how she treats him when she is his wife. Her appreciation for the guy eventually transforms into entitlement and often turns into resentment over time. Her change in behavior and attitude towards the guy goes in lockstep with her internally driven loss of sexual attraction towards him. ————————— Interestingly IF the husband is behaving like a bully, that’s probably one of the qualities that initially attracted him to the wom… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/02/24 03:38 PM |

No explanation for the data is offered in the first article because it is so politically incorrect and so taboo to suggest that women are the cause of their own unhappiness in LTRs and marriages.

| 1 | the ultimate force that is shaping womens' frustration with dating is the engine of hypergamy raising her standards without her concious awarenessOk, so you want to disregard the survey results because they don't fit your worldview, which is not surprising, I guess. I think the results hint at what is a kind of an unsavory aspect of women's sexuality. Most women just aren't capable of maintaining sexual attraction to one guy over long periods of time. This aspect of their sexuality, when it is left unexamined/unchecked, causes women to blow up families and ruin their husbands' lives.

| 1 | the ultimate force that is shaping womens' frustration with dating is the engine of hypergamy raising her standards without her concious awarenessI'm sorry, but I will have to disagree with you. It doesn't make sense that it would take 5-10 years of marriage for a woman to notice that a guy is lazy and to divorce him then for that reason. I think what happens is that the woman internally loses attraction to the guy and projects her change in internal state onto a socially acceptable external reason. Did you read the linked articles?

Maybe we are talking about different things. I don't believe that the main reason why women divorce men is because the guy didn't do enough chores. It stretches credulity that it took 5-10 years of marriage for her to notice stuff like that. The real reason why women divorce men is because they lose sexual attraction to the guy.

That's all you need to land an average guy. And many women can't be bothered to do 1) & 2). Many guys are even willing to compromise on the above qualities!

| 1 | Any man that sees women and sex as rewards is automatically an entitled misogynist.No, that's very wrong. They often DO say that, and heavily discount how important the guy's status/looks are in dating. When guys complain about how they are having trouble dating, they'll then attribute his difficulties to his supposed moral flaws. A lot of women will categorically deny that e.g. shorter men (women usually find short/physically small guys to be repulsive) and racial minorities (women are very racist when it comes to dating--guys are way more open-minded) have a hard time dating… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/02/24 01:41 AM |

| -1 | Why do people not want to accept the reasons modern dating isn’t working?I think you are underrating women's role/their control over global birth rates in the first world. There is a pretty consistent bias in mainstream relationship advice to view women as having little to no agency in their romantic relationships, and to place all of the responsibility on the health of the relationship onto the man. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/02/24 12:55 PM |
| 1 | Phrases such as “Men age like wine, women age like milk” and “The Wall” are nonsensical.Yeah, I think this is true. The effect of the wall for women is exaggerated, I think. A lot of women hit the wall because they stuff their faces with dessert and baked goods, live sedentary lifestyles, and get fat. Women don't really work out as much as guys do, and when they do work out, they do it in less productive ways. It really amazes me when single women struggle with their weight.

| 5 | Why do people not want to accept the reasons modern dating isn’t working?I think it makes a lot of sense to not get hung up on any one woman when dating.
