| -1 | CMV: women aren't empathetic caring individualsits really not if you have a grasp of the world beyond blanket statements. Here's an analogy: cats are naturally better hunters than humans. however, cats generally don't like water so if you put a mouse in water a human may have an equal chance of getting it vs a cat. Does this change the fact that cats are better hunters? Of course not. In the same vein, weak men, to women = water, to cats | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/08/24 09:44 PM |

| -1 | CMV: women aren't empathetic caring individualsWomen are generally better at empathy because they are better are reading social cues and have higher emotional intelligence, on average. That being said, women in general don't like weak men. Being an inexperienced virgin is essentially a product of having weak genes or ambition, so you're not going to get much sympathy for that relative to other injustices. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/08/24 08:32 PM |

| 14 | Attending a rap concert was a humbling experience as an average guy.you seem to be experiencing some cognitive dissonance around the fact that women can be against objectification and also be attracted to fame.

| 3 | The low bar for men is reflection of women's actual value in dating marketThe bar has dropped for both men and women because societal pressures have changed. Dating market now is more of a laissez-faire competitive environment. In the past there were more rigid norms and therefore more pressure to act like a "good" man or woman. It's equivalent to removing all regulations from say the agriculture industry and then seeing more erratic quality in produce. Of course if farms are only competing against each other with no standards to uphold, you might lower the bar to "fo… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/07/24 08:59 PM |
| 1 | Men NEED sex. The use of prostitution should be normalized, legalized, and recommended for struggling men.eh it's basically legal with sugar dating. In hindsight I'm pretty thankful I didn't have access to paid sex, as a young adult. My advice to young guys is to suck it up for a bit and make some bank. If you're single in you're early 30s, allow yourself some fun times with sugar hoes or escorts, within reason. Then once you you hit your late thirties you'll have matured and will be able to control your libido better and make wiser choices, and you won't have blown all your $. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/07/24 01:08 AM |
| -1 | The bar is on the ground for men is an incredibly toxic statementMale brain function is so predicated on the consumption of female physical forms that it makes sense we would generally have broader and more nuanced taste.

| 1 | If wealth is your only USP, then dont complain about gold diggersYes money can buy transactional sex, just as it can buy time spent building a real relationship. Personally I've had normal and "sugar" relationships and they weren't always that different. You don't really know how you'll connect with someone until you spend time with them. In a lot of cases women met me for financial incentive and we ended up having a good connection. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/06/24 11:24 PM |

A person who relies on personality or looks instead of $ is still using a form of (social) currency to garner attraction. You might argue one is a "deeper" form of attraction, but I would debate that. If you have $ you can afford to buy people's time.

| 3 | what are the social circles where men and women meet and there are the highest chances of carrying on a relationship whether it be friendship or love?Graduate school programs, especially those which skew a little older. In my school, of the women who came in single 1/4 to 1/2 ended up marrying a guy they met there. If you're a reasonably attractive woman, going into a male-heavy graduate program is a pretty great way to find a high value man (and probably vice versa for dudes). | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/09/23 10:27 PM |
| 1 | Do you think it’s true that dating gets easier for men and harder for women in their 30s?If you wouldn't marry someone if they weren't good looking then no, you don't love them and should not deceive them with "love". If you wouldn't marry someone if they weren't funny then no, you don't love them and should not deceive them with "love". If you wouldn't marry someone if they weren't a caring person then no, you don't love them and should not deceive them with "love". | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/09/23 10:16 PM |
| 6 | Women are becoming more educated and wealthier because they aren't obsessed with sex.I actually agree with this. Men are far more susceptible to make poor decisions, get addicted to porn, etc. due to their sex drive. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/09/23 07:14 PM |
| 17 | The idea that man whose 30 looks "visibly older" than guys in their early 20's to women is a mythWith healthy lifestyle and good genetics 30 is well within the peak physical attractiveness window for both men and women. If you're a late bloomer making improvements in fitness and fashion you could easily be more attractive at 30 than your early 20s. 35-40 is where the physical decline becomes too much to offset completely with good lifestyle habits. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/09/23 07:07 PM |
| 2 | Do you think it’s true that dating gets easier for men and harder for women in their 30s?So you agree that if you marry someone because they're financially stable that's just as valid a reason as any other? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/09/23 05:58 PM |
| 5 | Do women really want to date older men?For sure the vast majority of women have a strong preference for men in their age range. There's probably a minority that is relatively age-indifferent and a tiny contingent that fetishizes older men. But most women are attracted to status and power. I think it's more accurate to say that many women can overlook age as a detractor if a man is high status/powerful. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/09/23 04:46 PM |
| 9 | Do you think it’s true that dating gets easier for men and harder for women in their 30s?“well I can get younger girls because I’m financially stable” are really naive if they believe those women would care if they lived or died under the condition of being broke. So what though, really? If you're just making the statement that most of human love is conditional, that's nothing revolutionary. If a woman is with you because you're financially stable and you go broke, of course she'll be likely to fall out of love. If she is with you because you're attractive and you become ugly she's … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/09/23 04:38 PM |

| 1 | Is this whole 'stay in your lane' ideology in dating, healthy and fair, or the opposite?It's fair to be realistic about those challenges though. We like to highlight success stories and there's nothing wrong with that, but the flipside of celebrating those who beat the odds is recognizing that many more failed. If I was giving my honest advice to another average-ish Asian guy, I would say date within your race.

| 2 | What informed your expectations of dating growing up?it just means a typical, healthy sex drive unencumbered by religious or cultural shame. Something for me to aspire to. Not a damn thing wrong with flirting or making moves on women who are interested. A couple firm hands around the waist while giving a solid kiss can be a game changer. I mean if you're volunteering to be the Hitch to my Kevin James I'll gladly sign up for that, especially if we get to "practice" on each other | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/09/23 01:09 AM |

| 1 | What informed your expectations of dating growing up?I'm still pretty outwardly strait-laced about sex. I don't think that will ever completely change, just too much conditioning that's been internalized. I've also never dated anyone who is very sexually "adventurous" or "liberated" by societal standards. I imagine if I did that could open me up a bit. As an adult I consider myself a pretty open-minded and intellectually curious person so there's nothing really holding me back besides my past. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/09/23 12:55 AM |
| 1 | What informed your expectations of dating growing up?Reminds me of one of my best friends growing up who was a natural with women and grew up in a mostly female household. It was interesting because he had a lot of stereotypically masculine traits and probably could have gotten laid left and right, but he would always just get in these weird emotional entanglements that lasted forever. It was almost like he related to women too well, to the point that it diluted his base instincts. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/09/23 06:51 PM |

| 2 | What informed your expectations of dating growing up?I had a coworker who would always harp on how awesome Brazil was for dudes. He was Asian, average at best in looks and wealth, but he'd go on about Brazil like it was heaven on Earth. I haven't had the pleasure of knowing too many Brazilian women, but the few I have met have definitely had a real positive vibe about them. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/09/23 06:42 PM |
| 2 | Why men are (rightfully) bitter.Not a single man doesn't dream of being used for sex by multiple women, no strings attached. The fact that every man dreams of this life is why it is difficult to get. If the male desire for sex was similar to women, it'd be a different story. But it's not. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/09/23 06:37 PM |
| 2 | What informed your expectations of dating growing up?Yeah I did grow up going to church so that's for sure a part of it, along with just overall traditional values. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/09/23 06:16 PM |
| 3 | Why are women and men so untruthful about no?Calling out people's flaws can be uncomfortable, and not everyone reacts well to it. I'm in the camp that I'd rather people be honest, believe me, but I get that people tend to take the path of least resistance. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/09/23 06:00 PM |
| 3 | Why are women and men so untruthful about no?My point is why do people consistently act as if no is forever People don't want to give false hope. But if you're rejecting someone for a specific issue, it should be reasonable for that rejectee to infer that if they address that issue they might then have a shot. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/09/23 05:54 PM |

Since my parents never talked about any actual details about dating or sex, just a vague notion of somehow finding a girlfriend and getting married.

Should other people just accept their immoral behavior? The ones who'll ultimately suffer are honest men, anyway. This is basically akin to saying crime is justified because the economy is rigged. Of course crime will benefit certain individuals, but others will bear the negative consequences.

Escorts worth their time are still going to charge a premium, and there's probably no room for negotiation. If you see her multiple times the cost will surely add up fast.

What I'm advocating for is using sugar dating sites in lieu of dedicated escort services, as you're likely to get a more spontaneous and organic experience.

The point is that being able to judge people's character is a pretty essential trait to cultivate if you want to stay wealthy.

| 2 | Daily Community Chat MegathreadIt's interesting that big weddings have become somewhat passé at the same time there's been a movement to favor "experiences" over material goods. Big weddings are a pretty awesome and unique experience. I feel like it's the hassle and drama of planning them that factors almost as much as the cost. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/09/23 07:12 PM |
| 1 | Straight (or bisexual women in straight relationships), how common is it for you to lie to your male partners to spare their ego? Is it a good thing?Wildly insecure and one suffered emotional apoplexy when I took him home for Christmas and he saw a photo of my prom date. Seems like he was small in more than one way. Guys need not delude themselves. If you're gonna come at the queen, you better understand that you're not the biggest or the baddest to take his shot at the throne. I’m blond and blue eyed and six feet tall. And that’s okay. For some reason I pictured you as a Black woman, no idea why. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/09/23 06:39 PM |
| 5 | How much would you rate yourself out of 10, and why?Heavily, heavily context dependent. I could go as high as 8 in the right environment but easily sub-average otherwise. I've have one night stands where a girl has said my looks stood out to her among all the guys she saw that night, and at the same time my type doesn't even pass initial screening for maybe 50-80% of the population. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/09/23 05:16 PM |

| 1 | The Central Limit Theorem, and why it doesn’t matter.Hence one could argue that the observation “I see average dudes with looks-matched average gfs all the time” , is essentially meaningless and ultimately just trivial. It is meaningful, though, if one is essentially describing the average of many observations conducted over time under different parameters. That's essentially how people calibrate their intuitive sense of who is a "good" match, based on the sampled distribution of the mean.

| 1 | CMV: An age gap of around 5 years is optimal once both partners are at least in their mid-twentiesIs he at least better off than he was five years ago? It's true that people's trajectories don't always progress in a linear manner. But it should be the case that for the majority of people time elapsed should at the very least equate to some additional savings. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/09/23 09:48 PM |
| 1 | CMV: An age gap of around 5 years is optimal once both partners are at least in their mid-twentiesThe point about who's likely to take care of whom is an interesting one. I think you have to measure it along two probability curves: how likely is the couple to stay together to old age, and the marginal likelihood of infirmity with each additional year. Said another way, is a 5-year age gap couple more likely to stay together than a 3-year age couple? And if so, is that difference enough to offset the increased likelihood of the man getting sick? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/09/23 09:16 PM |

| 1 | CMV: An age gap of around 5 years is optimal once both partners are at least in their mid-twentiesFive years can be the difference between living with roommates and having your own place, at least. For sure when it comes to having kids, it's a major advantage. A five year gap is also about right for when modern men and women are ready to have children. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/09/23 09:09 PM |

| 2 | CMV: An age gap of around 5 years is optimal once both partners are at least in their mid-twentiesI think it's a pushed stereotype that women mature faster though because both sexes have different ways of maturing Girls do get a head start in development, that's pretty well documented. Boys do catch up over time, but whether due to biological differences or societal expectations many are not there yet when in their twenties. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/09/23 07:31 PM |

| 2 | Do TRULY average men actually struggle to date and have sex?These kind of guys are often going to be reliant on luck and circumstance. They'll more likely spend time cultivating relationships through social circles and going for LTR's over casual dating. They may focus on niches or hobbies to help their odds. Without any kind of social boost or inside track they will struggle, i.e. if they move to a new city and are trying to meet women through dating apps. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/09/23 08:09 PM |

A lot of Koreans are milking their cultural power now, god bless 'em.

Again simply put, if i was an asian man, id be pursuing non stop non asian women, because women of my own race ostracized me when i was in that phase of 'self hate' Fuck that nonsense.

No. Back then self-hate was the norm in the Asian-American community. Now there's a far more robust culture backed by media representation which people are actually proud to embrace.

| 4 | 2000-2010 was the best decade for men, women and relationshipsLol proud to say I’ve never worried about inefficiency and dating. Probably because you've been a beneficiary of it. As an Asian dude my memory of that time is not some utopia where everyone opened up their hearts to each other and judged by their character😂. It was a ruthless gauntlet where you had to be ten times better than your competition to even get the time of day from the five women you'd meet in a year. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 31/08/23 11:56 PM |

It's hard to even exaggerate how bad it was. It was basically standard for 99% of non-Asian women and like 50% of Asian women to just exclude Asian men as options.

| 1 | 2000-2010 was the best decade for men, women and relationshipsThere was far more inefficiency in dating back then.

| 37 | 2000-2010 was the best decade for men, women and relationshipsAs an Asian-American guy, this is a ridiculous statement.

| 2 | CMV: men resent women for having standards?You're lamenting that sex work is illegal (it's not). I'm stating a simple fact.

| 5 | CMV: average people are attracted to other average people and aboveIn most relationships, the guy is above her in a certain area which is age,Height,income/education What you may be inadvertently acknowledging is that women value a more diverse set of qualities than men. The average man won't settle for an ugly or old woman even if she's rich or charismatic, whereas there are endless examples of women doing that. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 31/08/23 07:21 PM |

Either take the shot and have a 50% chance, or don’t take it at all and have a 0% chance. Depending on the kinds of shots you're taking, your actually odds will vary wildly.
