| 1 | I struggle to express curiosity even when I genuinely feel itWhat is it that attracts you to men? What experiences are you looking to have together? It seems that you don't look forward to being around the people in most of your relationships. So the question that you should be asking yourself is, what do you look forward to in a relationship or in any of your relationships? Once you know the answer to that, you have to figure out what your role is in those interactions. If you simply want people to be friendly and nice to you without you reciprocating en… | /r/RedPillWomen | 29/05/26 04:02 PM |
| 1 | If women are successfully hypergamous, shouldn’t men be upset and demand action from/against the few men benefitting rather than the multitude of women?"Risky behavior" is referring to behavior that takes place in sexual competition. In what ways do you think women are more competitive than men and benefit more than a man would? The disparity in risk- taking is not because of the likelihood of success, but the rewards of said success. A woman who engages in risky behavior will have access to more status or rewards if she is successful, but her success has no affect on her attractiveness to men. A woman having higher status or more money does no… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/03/26 08:13 PM |

Regardless, men would prefer to have blame assigned individually if it means credit is also kept to the individual, whereas women are generally willing to sacrifice individual success/status if it allows them to also collectively distribute blame/failure. This is because men compete for status, which they benefit from in sexual selection, whereas women do no… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/03/26 04:42 PM |

| 9 | If women are successfully hypergamous, shouldn’t men be upset and demand action from/against the few men benefitting rather than the multitude of women?No, because men don't believe that other people are obligated to sacrifice on their behalf just because they exist. Men also tend to believe in the concept of human beings having agency, in that women have the capacity to choose who they want to be with, rather than being dependent on men to decide for them. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/02/26 04:32 PM |

Redpill depends on you understanding game, because you would have to understand it do develop it.

| 1 | Is Western society today equally comfortable with parents giving both sexes specific lessons on how to treat their opposite-sex partners right (not to be confused with simply teaching respect for others in general)? If not, why not? Is it justified to give these lessons to one sex but not the other?There was a post on here suggesting that people should teach their daughters to be good mothers and wives and it got hundreds of outraged comments equating this to grooming sex slaves. Meanwhile people hate redpillers for not following the narrative of "always be nice to women and do favors for them, that's the only way they can see you as a human being." Never mind that men are expected to lay their bodies and wallets on the line for women's decisions and not doing so is seen as a violation of … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/01/26 09:57 PM |

I definitely missed a lot of red flags when I was around him, but I witnessed firsthand his terrible treatment of the women he dated. Can people trick others and hide their actual nature?

"Happy wife happy life" is an ideology that they worship more devoutly than their religions. Some men have the motivation to get up every day and live for someone else's fantasies.

| 2 | The average woman would fail at dating as a MenWell the expectations would be different. Basically women see men as more threatening/capable than women, so a man would be more easily able to approach women as a woman, but they would also expect less from a woman in terms of ability to protect or provision for them, and women would have less ability to leverage status by doing so.

I can't say I consider this "investment" in any meaningful way.

| 6 | The fact that prostitution is partially or fully illegal in most of the world is proof that the world is misandrist.The reality that men who think sex will solve all their problems don't want to admit, is that they want validation from a woman in a variety of different ways.

| 5 | Why do we have a generation of "weak" men?Social risk-taking like cold approaching women, making risky jokes, or even just being vulnerable about flaws or weaknesses.

I'll just say that less men taking risk means less competition and more reward for the ones who are willing to take it.

Having a higher income is only one element of it, but hypergamy is measured as the desire to date both up and across, but not below. Men decide to enter a relationship where the woman earns less because the woman benefits them in other ways. It's very difficult for a man to compensate for a lower income and when he does it's because he is exceptional in another domain (looks, status) and rare rather than equally common among women. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/12/25 04:58 PM |

People subject their partners to a lot more scrutiny within a relationship than they do before the relationship, and are more comfortable expressing what they really feel, especially when they argue.

| 6 | Should men be openly critical of women who are bad or boring in bed ?You have to be careful about criticism with women in general. In general, women respond positively only to reinforcement, positive or negative, that pushes them to increase a behavior, not punishment or omission that pushes them to decrease a behavior. Men don't care about it either way and prefer direct communication. Having to tiptoe around a man is a sign that you should not be with him, because he is either abusive or not interested in what you want.

| 13 | Should men be openly critical of women who are bad or boring in bed ?Men can try, but women won't respond positively to the criticism. The better thing to do with women in general is reframe whatever the man wants her to do as something sexy that turns him on. If the woman isn't interested in the man's pleasure to begin with, the man would have to explain to her that his pleasure is an important part of their relationship, likely by using examples of how he makes her feel good.

I've seen this happen many times for other superficial qualities also. Like I said, if that's your definition of a spark, then you are right.

| 3 | Men have standards by default and criticize women for doing same thingMy point was not that she can't feel the spark if he is rich, but rather that she can't feel the spark just because he is rich, but will still pursue him just because of that reason.

| 4 | Men have standards by default and criticize women for doing same thingMy understanding of "spark" is that it is something that is shared between people. If you are saying it only needs to be one-sided, then that indicates it's not an external standard imposed on the man, which to me actually appears to support my point even more: that women use arbitrary filters for what they claim to want in a man. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/12/25 05:40 PM |

Just because you're married, doesn't mean your wife has less expectations from you sexually. The effort you put in before marriage, does not make the woman more sexually interested in you after marriage.

I would say that the "spark" would need to happen with some sort of involvement or action on the man's part, other than him simply peacocking and strutting around showing off.

Kids don't need thousands of dollars a month to thrive. They need time and a lot of interest from parents, but current laws punish the parent who earns more.

My point was that the behavior I described is typical of women, not just the ones who are "desperate." It may not be physiologically or psychologically innate for them to treat men the way they do, but it's the norm in modern society. If these women are "desperate", then the overwhelming majority of women are "desperate."

| 5 | The “male loneliness epidemic” is not primarily caused by the lack of female companionship or sex, and blaming it on women is a mistake that makes things worseThat may be part of it, but these men were children at one point, and they weren't pair bonded at that time but still had social connection.

Masculine behavior is increasingly being deemed "toxic" in public settings.

But I'll try to clarify: Confidence is an internal quality that is independent of external validation. It can be rational or irrational, but it is not rooted in what others think, by definition.

| 1 | Men wouldn't complain about "modern women" or feminism if both sexes were equally attracted to each otherWomen having more status or power would not increase men's attraction to them, so there would be no reason for them to compete for those things. Competition as a psychological behavior extends far beyond sexuality in men, so merely being more sexual wouldn't increase this in women, unless you are suggesting that they also got all the behavioral changes that come with increased testosterone, and not increased sexual arousal itself.

It'll just be weakened enough to allow authoritarian actors to come in, who will likely be religious fundamentalists (and not the Christian kind).

| 19 | Feminism is not an idea. It is a technology I can switch off at will.By this logic, any rights are not an idea but instead technology. Feminism is indeed an idea, one that is aided with technology, but the assumption that women have rights, does not require you to have the technology to violently enforce them. It helps to actually enact those rights, but it's not inherently ontologically necessary. In theory, men could give women rights without any imposition of violence or need for enforcement by women. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/12/25 03:23 PM |
| 4 | The way those who hate age gaps talk about them is actually reinforcing tropes about younger women being more desirableMost of the people who hate on age gap relationships frame it as an issue of power imbalance, not necessarily a looks imbalance. Of course, having seen the "maturity" that supposedly comes with age, this is not a convincing argument, and a typical example of Schrodinger's feminism, with the woman simultaneously being helpless and empowered. Nevertheless, the majority of hate is towards the "immature" man's supposed inability to get with a real "mature" woman his age. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/12/25 03:18 PM |

Give a woman an inch and she'll take a mile. The only sustainable alternative to a woman walking over you is the woman somehow being aware that you can leave any time the relationship isn't working for you. Of course, being "single" works essentially the same way; women will treat you as a human being and not their property, so long as they think they have to earn enough favor for you to agree to enter into a relationship with them.… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/12/25 03:07 PM |

If you knew how to plug into a woman's psychology, you can see that they'll often even date men who look like trolls or goblins as long as these men make them feel the right way.

| 34 | As a woman, women's intuition is vastly overratedIn my experience, women's intuition, as in their gut feeling, is not faulty, but rather they choose to override it for men they are attracted to. It's not so much that they miss the red flags, but more so that they go to extremes to justify them (using faulty logic nevertheless). Of course, I'm a man, but even from your example above, in my experience the women who were being cheated on by their partners generally chose to overlook the signs or delude themselves, rather than genuinely being clue… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/12/25 04:42 AM |

I think the bigger problem is that each gender is expecting the other one to mirror their desires and needs rather than complement them. Men and women have different psychology and different interests; they can participate together in activities, but they will have separate motivations and relate separately to what they are doing. There's a reason for the trope of the gay bes… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/12/25 04:27 AM |

And what will happen is that the most motivated people will reproduce, and the others won't. You might have an economic bottleneck for a generation or two but nature will restore the balance.

The only reason men don't go for women with "looks" is because they have to calculate the risk of rejection or worse, but part of that calculation is whether the woman looks good enough to take on the risk.

A man lusting for a woman is not enough to make him like her, he is also doing other things to make her feel good.

| 1 | When it comes to understanding others, women care about feelings, men care about thoughtsI think what you said in regards to being objective applies to both men and women. Men, due to being socialized to explicitly AVOID examining or processing our emotions much, suck at being aware of when those emotions are interfering with our efficacy in life or have quietly gained the upper hand over our reason. Women are raised to feel, feel, feel and given safe, validating spaces in which to do so.

The argument I'm making is not the ability of women to understand what men think or of men to understand what women feel, it's that they don't understand that the other gender does not care about the same things as them.

| 1 | If you were a woman, what kind of men would you be attracted to?I think the answer is pretty straightforward that a man should be the version of himself that he would most be attracted to if he were a woman, but also this is a hypothetical that is kind of impossible to expand on further than that (unless you are bisexual). Personality wise, it would be the same kind of men that inspire me now: confident, masculine and secure, who have a sense of humor and a curiosity about the world and other humans, and who value all their relationships. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/11/25 03:53 AM |

If you're genuinely a friend and not just trying to deceive her, a woman will be okay with you. It's when you make her feel that you are her friend and then switch up, that she has a problem with you trying to manipulate her.

| 3 | Q4M: why do you no longer court women properly?It's because romantic relationships are built around sexual exclusivity. The lack of exclusivity degrades the uniqueness of the relationship. You being a virgin means that at least that part of your relationship with a man would be unique to you two.

| 12 | Q4M: why do you no longer court women properly?You kind of nailed it, the main part of women's involvement in the courtship process was their ability to say "no." "Courtship" wasn't just nice things men did for women randomly, it was a reflection of a man's intent to marry a specific woman, and her accepting this intent indicated that her agreement to the same. It wasn't merely "oh wow random strange man did nice things to me with no expectations at all!"

Never understood why the impact of body count is confusing to so many women. If a relationship is built around sex, why would sexual experiences outside of the relationship have no effect on it? There is no other type of relationship where you pretend like part of your existence never happened and has no effect on you.

| 21 | Q4M: why do you no longer court women properly?Why are you not holding up your end? I don't think you realize that women's end is essentially being a virgin. Basically, the courting behavior you are describing was not a solo performance, men did the courting dance because they felt that a woman either already was dancing back with them, or would do so in response to the man's courting dance. In order for a man to make you feel special to him, he has to believe that he is special to you. And with the way women treat sex and sexuality in the m… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/11/25 04:49 AM |

How does one gain confidence in an inherently evil world without actively and successfully exploiting others or benefiting from privilege granted by inevitably exploitative economies and governments?

This isn't shoplifting we're talking about here, it's an extremely violent act. The consequences may not be as likely, but they are still very heavy consequences.

To be clear, a man being safe or a risk for you isn't merely a judgment of your physical safety, but also your emotional response.

Their partners are the people closest to them (and thereby the most dangerous).

| 8 | How would dates and marriages work If the average woman was much wealthier than the average man?I have never in my personal life experienced women not following hypergamy, nor have I seen any studies disproving women's hypergamous nature. Call it biology or sociology, but something makes women hypergamous. I just said it was biology because it appears to be something innate rather than some sort of social pressure that would theoretically disappear under the right conditions. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/11/25 09:39 PM |
| 10 | How would dates and marriages work If the average woman was much wealthier than the average man?This is assuming that women's desire for men to be the provider is "social conditioning" and not innate behavior. This is also assuming that women have low representation among the super wealthy because of sexism and discrimination. Simply put, women will not be comfortable providing financially for men. A 10 - 20% earnings gap does not have a real impact on daily life. Once it starts getting to about 50% and more is where the discrepancies become noticeable and a power dynamic begins to occur. … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/11/25 08:48 PM |
| 1 | Do you think simps should do more escorts/sugaring?In theory an argument could be made that men will never reach beyond their genetic potential based on their behavior (which I would strongly disagree with), but it is undoubtedly the case that men can and do shoot themselves in the foot and fail to secure relationships with their "genetic equal" due to their mannerisms. So mannerisms may not help you climb upwards (I still think they do) but they will certainly help prevent you from falling downwards. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/11/25 08:14 PM |
| 3 | Do you think simps should do more escorts/sugaring?Lol "mannerisms not mattering at all" is one of the most autistic takes I've seen here. I think I now understand the premise of OP's whole post. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/11/25 08:00 PM |
| 1 | People do give men a bunch of chances before giving up on them.What men are really complaining about here are female covert contracts, which happen during the formation of the relationship. "If I just do X, Y and Z, he'll do these things for me!" No, he won't, because he doesn't care about those things. Wanting more "chances" is unfortunately the dying throes of a relationship that was built on incongruency and trying to change the partner to begin with. You can't change someone else. If they aren't willing to accommodate the relationship you want, you have… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/11/25 07:49 PM |
| 3 | Men are delusional about how many bad men are out thereI agree that it's difficult if not impossible to avoid "bad" men, and that there's no surefire way to "vet" men, especially in the initial stages of dating. I think men who believe that bad things happening to women is always the woman's fault, are just ignoring woman's experiences because they don't experience the same thing themselves. That being said, when it comes to abusive relationships (and not random incidents) and men telling you to "vet better"; The men saying this don't actually mean,… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/11/25 07:25 PM |
| 1 | Do you think simps should do more escorts/sugaring?The sexual highs and hot woman experience is in their own head. They could get those things and have a taste of something they never had before, and begin to simp even harder for these types of women. Their simping is a product of their own delusion and won't change unless they choose to understand what is actually happening between them and women. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/11/25 04:18 PM |
| 17 | The blue pill gives you a better shot at happiness, for less cost, than the red pill.Red pill is theory. What men choose to do with it is up to them. Men choose the red pill or the blue pill because it reflects the reality they see. They don't look for theories to mold their concept of reality around, they look for theories that best explain their preexisting concept of reality. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/11/25 04:15 PM |
| 28 | Men are delusional about how many bad men are out thereWomen are bad at judging men because they rely on how they feel to judge the character of other people. Psychopaths slip under their radar because of this, because psychopaths know exactly how to manipulate feelings to make themselves seem trustworthy. Men (and autistic men in particular) are not as susceptible to being manipulated through their "feelings" because we don't judge reality through them. So men complain about women being bad judges of character because they regularly see women overl… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/11/25 04:11 PM |
| 1 | Do you think simps should do more escorts/sugaring?This is suggesting that men who are bad at understanding whether women like them should pay for women to pretend to like them. Unless the simp chooses to try and understand women, women's behavior will have no affect on his, whether he is paying or not. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/11/25 04:00 PM |
| 1 | Is it true that men want monogamy and family more than women, or is that a false narrative here?I think men who want monogamy and family have to put far more effort than men who just want sex, so there is a perceived lack of interest in these things from women. Also, women seem to take for granted that monogamy and family will happen conveniently for their own timelines, so there are a lot of women in their 20s who think that they can just get these things later, whereas the men in their 20s who want these things don't really have any reason to delay them. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/11/25 03:49 PM |
| – | Womens' actions have repeatedly revealed their claim of living in constant fear of danger at the hands of men is likely just another smokescreen and deception/manipulation tacticMy point is that it doesn't matter if it's "bitchy" of you or if you are "crazy for being mad". The reality is that whether the man making you feel that way is telling the truth or not has nothing to do with how you feel about it, and instead has to do with whether his behavior is consistent and logical. How you feel about it is just that, your emotions are not the lie detector you think they are. In fact, when dealing with psychopaths, they will actively be able to present themselves in a way t… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/11/25 02:28 AM |
| – | Womens' actions have repeatedly revealed their claim of living in constant fear of danger at the hands of men is likely just another smokescreen and deception/manipulation tacticI mean questioning as in questioning whether what you feel is an accurate representation of reality, not questioning which feelings you feel. It's generally much easier to manipulate people by making them feel the way you want them to feel, than by lying and trying to convince them to believe what you want them to believe. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/11/25 02:17 AM |
| – | Womens' actions have repeatedly revealed their claim of living in constant fear of danger at the hands of men is likely just another smokescreen and deception/manipulation tacticSome of what you describe is just kids being kids and thinking they are invincible. Also, men also pursue women that they know are bad for them, just because the women are objectively attractive. But I agree that female solipsism has contributed to them failing to understand the differences between men and women. Women commonly believe that men can be "socially conditioned" to the same extent they can, so men just need to "be taught better". They don't understand that just because they themselve… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/11/25 01:22 AM |
| 1 | why do so many men look down on sex workers (escorts, prostitutes, onlyfans model, sugarbabies etc ) but at the same time also consume their services/content?they shame them because it highlights their own inadequacy The fact that the existence of sex work is a result of men's inadequacy doesn't mean that men feel that way when they pay for it. Paying for a product or service you can't do or make yourself isn't highlighting your own inadequacy. And how exactly would shaming the sex workers mitigate the inadequacy of men? The men are inadequate at obtaining sex, the sex workers are so adequate that they are getting paid for it. Shaming is a human beha… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/11/25 11:05 PM |
| 6 | why do so many men look down on sex workers (escorts, prostitutes, onlyfans model, sugarbabies etc ) but at the same time also consume their services/content?Your question is predicated on the premise that sex workers will satisfy men's needs, which I would argue is incorrect as most men seek female validation in multiple forms. Men will feel some satisfaction from using the services the sex workers offer in a transactional manner (paying for sex), but are not interested in investing resources into sex workers in the form of a relationship. That being said, men are cruel to sex workers to try and shame women into not doing sex work, so that there is … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/11/25 10:13 PM |
| 6 | People do give men a bunch of chances before giving up on them.In my experience, women do what they think men like and then believe that the man is obligated to reciprocate by doing things that the woman likes. The woman rarely if ever considers that the man simply wants different things or that the woman could have herself misunderstood the man, and considers his failure to reciprocate behavior he never wanted as an active rejection of her or the relationship rather than a lack of interest in it to begin with. This can be seen in the very initial stage whe… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/11/25 05:12 PM |
| 1 | Could social acceptance of prostitution solve everyone’s problems?There are fleshlights, sex dolls, and other things to somewhat simulate the sensation. What is "the real thing" and "a man's dream"? At a minimum, it requires the woman to actually be involved in a sexual experience with you. If you're not a psychopath, it will generally also be the woman wanting all sorts of things from you, which is why escorts, sex workers, strippers etc. frequently report that men often come to them to talk or share feelings or have an emotional affair more so than have sex.… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/11/25 06:58 AM |
| 1 | Women are more attracted to social status than social skills.Analyzing their feelings is what any mature adult does Yes, that and other things such as taking accountability for your own actions and not having a victim mindset, having your own opinions and not blindly following society, communicating directly with people you value rather than trying to manipulate them...these are all things that mature adults do. I am not saying that women don't like to understand their own feelings. I am saying that they don't like to question their feelings or assess whe… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/11/25 10:56 AM |
| 20 | Could social acceptance of prostitution solve everyone’s problems?No. Men could just masturbate if sex was really all they wanted from a woman. The reality that men who think sex will solve all their problems don't want to admit, is that they want validation from a woman in a variety of different ways. Essentially, legalizing prostitution would raise the "floor" by satisfying certain very base needs for some men, but it would simply shift whatever "problems" men have right now to other types of validation from women. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/11/25 04:56 AM |
| 2 | Women are more attracted to social status than social skills.I agree that no amount of smooth talk will convince a woman who thinks you're a loser. I think what you're really talking about is women being rather superficial judges of character. Which I'll generally agree with, and I'll explain below. The simplest way to put it is that women pretty much only care about what you make them feel, and not what you mean, because - most importantly - they don't like to judge what they feel. (This is also why they always want to vent about their problems without w… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/11/25 01:43 AM |
| 14 | Women are more attracted to social status than social skills.Social status creates a preconceived image that women may or may not be attracted to. So in that sense, women can be attracted to men with high social status without perceived effort on the man's part. But poor social skills can also kill that attraction. So yes, passively having your reputation work for you requires less effort (none) as compared to actively cultivating a relationship. I don't think that's surprising. Is it easier to acquire status or generate individual relationships? That's g… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/11/25 11:02 PM |
| 1 | Q4M: what makes a woman not marriage material?There are a lot of things that I could write here as others have written, but it will ultimately depend on the man. I will only say generally that it is my sincere belief that in the end, all relationships are reciprocal. Because of that, going into marriage each party has to see themselves as part of the same team. You don't have to do everything together, but expecting one-sided treatment "just because" will in the end not be sustainable. In connection to that, in most men's experience a woman… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/11/25 10:04 PM |
| 1 | If sex with Men degrades Women according to some Men ,then they should be ok with Women not having sex with men at all.The whole world used to do this up until about 70 years ago, and a lot of the world does still follow this practice. Also, you don't have to do everything everyone tells you to do. Most straight men don't have sex with gay men just because the gay man kept screaming that he wanted it. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/11/25 06:57 PM |
| 4 | For men, it isn't truly about sex.So real manly men are complaining about not having sex with women because they are sad and anxious about what other real manly men think, and once these men do have sex they will be cheered and welcomed by other manly men into the "had sex" club. Sounds pretty gae to me | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/11/25 06:29 PM |
