| 1 | If a large portion of women started selling nudes. Would this force men to deal with it? Or would it force men not to date?Nudes? Why would I give a shit? I doubt any given woman's vagina is so special they'd change the world by putting pictures of it on the internet. If anything we need to relax on the puritanical obsession with nudity. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/12/20 08:29 PM |
| 6 | Why is female insecurity so ignored and overlooked in the social and dating debate?I'd say that depends on what you define as success. Personally I'd have a hard time calling having a bunch of sugar babies success. An ugly woman still has a theoretical shot to find a good partner who values their company. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/11/20 07:50 AM |

| 2 | So - is the men’s fault for objectifying women in bikinis or is it the fault of women for putting themselves in objectifying situations?It's the fault of our epistemological faculties that we don't comprehend humans as complete beings rather than as components of our internal narrative, serving a role dictated by how we interpret our experiences with them. The whole objectification discussion focuses on a small facet of this. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/10/20 03:06 AM |

| 1 | FDS in a nutshell. (Puuurge)I'll just go back in time and undo all that trauma and social exclusion, then I'll get some new genetics so I can be good looking. No big deal. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/10/20 03:30 AM |
| 2 | Womens "requirements" go out the window if the guys good looking. Remember her rules only apply to sub 8 men not to Chad.I've been having a bad day, so I wasn't entirely sincere earlier. You're right, cultivating virtue has its own perks. However it does seem to be fairly useless in dating. Countless manchild fuckboys have no problems in this regard. It's not that it can't help in dating (I'd wager it helps both in filtering out shitty partners, and in handling the inevitable emotional lows) but if you're having difficulties getting a partner at all, it'll probably do jack and shit. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/10/20 10:12 PM |
| 2 | Womens "requirements" go out the window if the guys good looking. Remember her rules only apply to sub 8 men not to Chad.That's fine, but it still means character's basically superfluous. If you don't have looks, you can try to foster character until the sun burns out, but you'll still be effectively a half-man in this realm. I think being unhappy about that is warranted. As for Meek and others in this category: They are exceptions and they are not representive for the average Joe (m/f/w) Pardon? I'm not sure I get you. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/10/20 08:58 PM |
| 3 | Womens "requirements" go out the window if the guys good looking. Remember her rules only apply to sub 8 men not to Chad.But that's not the case at all. You said it yourself, there are people out there that will happily overlook even grievous failings of virtue so long as you've got looks. So virtue essentially doesn't matter, it's a lot of work for no benefit as you'll get the same result without it. Being nice is not the bare minimum, there are countless pieces of shit doing just fine in this regard. Also god forbid a man be kind of meek, fuck those guys for dealing with trauma or social exclusion. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/10/20 08:28 PM |
| 2 | Womens "requirements" go out the window if the guys good looking. Remember her rules only apply to sub 8 men not to Chad.So, essentially, character doesn't fucking matter.

| 1 | FDS in a nutshell. (Puuurge)Hello, yes, I would like some proofs, plz. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/10/20 06:59 PM |
| 2 | Weekly Community Chat Megathread (04 October 2020)That doesn't seem to me like it would demonstrate anything useful in this thought. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/10/20 06:45 PM |
| 1 | Weekly Community Chat Megathread (04 October 2020)It's a theoretical interpretive framework. It's more like meta-science. It stands out only because we rarely bother to question our default Cartesian assumptions about psychology. Of course, one can take issue with the hypothesises and conclusions. But the fact is our psychology is a product of our brain, which is a product of evolution. When Galileo couldn't prove heliocentrism, the sun was still the center of our solar system. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/10/20 06:44 PM |

| 1 | Weekly Community Chat Megathread (04 October 2020)The basic premise of evolutionary psychology is very obviously true if you think the brain and the mind are in any way connected. I think it catches as much flak as it does entirely because it's an attack on the Tabula Rasa that's so central to Liberalism. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/10/20 04:06 AM |

| 1 | Weekly Community Chat Megathread (04 October 2020)I never said that's never the case. My thoughts on the matter go as follows, in those circumstances, the sex is at least partially a means to the end that is affection, rather than an end in an of itself. You could argue that the transaction then is affection for sex, not in the traditional formulation of an exchange of goods, but in the sense that what is ultimately desired is affection, and sex is just part of how it's attained. If the affection could be acquired without the sex, would the sex… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/10/20 12:15 AM |
| 1 | Weekly Community Chat Megathread (04 October 2020)Why are you going on about fairness?

| 3 | Weekly Community Chat Megathread (04 October 2020)I didn't mean to suggest men only get into relationships only for sex. We all get lonely and companionship is desirable. I also don't think it's not fair that some men can't get casual sex; one deserves only what they can get. Don't be so presumptuous, it's not polite. I think you've basically just ignored my point in favor of arguing with some specter of a red piller. I'm not a red-piller.

I don't want to police her thoughts, I just don't want to fuck her if she's not enthusiastic about the prospect. It's not a large coercive element, but I did say it was only a minor element.

| 0 | Weekly Community Chat Megathread (04 October 2020)Stability I'd imagine. My point isn't that commitment or long-term relationships are bad, or not in men's interests, but that the requirement of a relationship being tied to sex introduces some ugly complexities to the act's motivations that I'm not entirely sure I'm comfortable with. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/10/20 03:18 AM |
| 1 | Weekly Community Chat Megathread (04 October 2020)I didn't say that couldn't be the case. But if they'll only fuck you if you put in the work to establish a relationship, or fuck you as part of maintaining that relationship, it suggest that fucking is a means rather than an end. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/10/20 03:07 AM |
| 1 | Weekly Community Chat Megathread (04 October 2020)To me there's nothing really comparable to sex in its intimacy and vulnerability. I wouldn't want my partner to have sex with me if they were anything short of enthusiastic, and I wouldn't want them to expect anything else from me. Now as for what enters one's mind, we don't really have a clear picture of our own motives; conscious experience is a very small portion of the processes that guide our lives. So the fact something doesn't enter one's mind doesn't mean it's not still a factor. These a… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/10/20 03:04 AM |

I don't particularly buy the alpha/beta dichotomy (most dichotomies are either not actually opposites or represent a spectrum rather than a dichotomy), but there seems to be a type that regularly enjoys non-commital sex and if you aren't this type, you won't. This means that for many men, sex within a relationship is their option.

| 1 | Why are so many Red Pillers anti-abortion, when banning abortion will probably force more men into marriage or child support?Nothing suits the fetus since it has neither reason nor will (well, no more will than an object). As for suiting the parent, carrying an unwanted pregnancy to term can be a deeply traumatic experience.

Generally male promiscuity is not associated with favorable character traits, at least in my experience.

This isn't my only experience seeing women describe promiscuous men as losers, fuckboy isn't a term of endearment. From my own experience, I haven't seen many slayers that were "losers" in the conventional sense, but that's because the archetype tends to exclude by definition fit, attractive, charming men (it tends to be more Kirk Vanhouten or the comic book guy).

I'm not factoring in alcohol or pressure, I don't think they're a fair standard, only the comparison to an enthusiastic casual encounter (in fact I do use the words enthusiastic consent).

It matters, because it raises the question of why they had to wait, put in shows of commitment, emotional labor, etc., when some knob-end that the woman doesn't even like got to smash immediately. The obvious answer that takes the least assumptions is that she didn't consider him sexually appealing enough to warrant the risk.

I'd wager it's mostly just a matter of different priorities.

This is however something men care deeply about. So you're probably not going to convince many men to change this view.

| 1 | Changes in the Distribution of Sex Partners in the United States: 2002 to 2011–2013 [The 80/20 rule strikes again?]Wouldn't that outcome still mean dating is rough, since they'd not only be competing with some truly impressive men for a fairly small pool of women (assuming they're concerned with their partner's appearance)? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/09/20 07:36 PM |
| 5 | What caused the intensity of the male/female divide the increase recently?? Also: why are you on this forum??I think tensions appear worse on the internet because there's a lot more people on the internet than there were. On the note of gender relations, I think #metoo has wound up being somewhat contentious. I'm here for a combination of entertainment and as a means of working through my own perspective on these matters. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/09/20 07:10 PM |
| 3 | Male dating isn’t getting worse. It's returning to its historic pastA short dude can make a fine member of an armored vehicle crew. The collapse of a society would not be an opportunity to become Conan. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/09/20 04:04 AM |
| 2 | Do you think women's standards for men have become too high and their hypergamy has got out of control?As I said, I can't really throw stones on that front. Having never been very lucky in romance, but never having been entirely without options (terrible options are still options) I know damn well I'll refuse an option if I'm not actually interested in them, and I don't hold that against women. I just think it's sad (I need to be clear, I do not mean pathetic) that people, including myself, will opt for loneliness. I think a lot of this is just the feeling of hopeless futility a lot of men wind u… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/09/20 01:04 AM |
| 4 | Do you think women's standards for men have become too high and their hypergamy has got out of control?I hate to pull "but it happens to men too" but it's not as though society's any kinder to men that just give up. They tend to assume they just couldn't hack it, and their failings stem from some grievous, often moral, personal flaw (this seems to be the general assumption with the vast majority of men that spend a long period single). It seems to be a bias against single people is pervasive, and although its expressions might be gendered, the basic prejudice is not. For my part, I'd say it's a b… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/09/20 12:16 AM |
| 1 | We don't need to solve the relations between the genders.As subjectively isolated individuals, we are all fundamentally alone. However, we're continually experiencing (albeit subjectively filtered) and are affected by the exterior world. In this sense, there could be said that there's no ontological divide between us and the exterior world, only a phenomenological one (I am just more matter in a material universe, and fundamentally no different from any other surrounding me, it is my recognition of my distinctness that makes it so). As such, a degree … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/09/20 07:21 PM |
| 2 | The 2008 financial crisis is the definitive reason why dating is the way it is today, as well as the existence of the manosphere.As I said, I think there's only a grain of truth to it that's overstated. A good job is probably a significant factor in securing a marriage prospect, if only because that shit's expensive. I do think the standards to be considered genuinely desirable (distinct from what it takes to be able to get the interest of at least one woman) are stricter for men, owing to the probability that we're polygynous (though I think people overstate the significance of that as well, as I have my doubts monogamy … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/09/20 07:46 PM |
| 0 | The 2008 financial crisis is the definitive reason why dating is the way it is today, as well as the existence of the manosphere.I think the argument is that men are expected to look particularly good and be exceptionally good at flirting and have a nice job. Of which I think there is only a grain of truth to this (being that we're likely a polygynous species which means the standards would be more severe for men and ability to provide is part of mate selection). | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/09/20 07:36 PM |
| 1 | "The decline" is largely a myth - female promiscuity isn't new.I agree with the general drift of your post, and it reflects my own rejections of both conservative and progressive views of sexual values through history. However, I will say that the sexual activity of the pagan Greco-Romans is a very bad example. They had huge hangups about female sexuality, and valued female virginity and fidelity highly. You can see elements of this in Homer's epics, how differently the sexual activities of the male characters are treated from those of female characters. Th… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/09/20 12:58 AM |
| 1 | Cobra Kai, as an Allegory for TRPI think you might have cause and effect switched. While I don't doubt that these communities can exacerbate such feelings, I feel the initial draw is the presence of the fundamental, driving fear of being used. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/09/20 03:07 AM |
