| – | What keeps men coming back to this sub?I just looked at the graph presented by the redditor below. It appears they're more blue pill and blue pill leaning people in this sub. But it doesn't break down gender to which they belong. However I can speculate that you're wrong based on the graph. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/04/26 11:59 PM |
| 24 | "DoorDash Girl" is proof that women's spaces will not hold women accountable.The video is rightfully prohibited from social media because it depicts: A woman illegally entering a man's house and filming him asleep in the nude. You don't need to see it. But I assume you are desperate for their to be saving grace of some sort. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/11/25 04:01 PM |
| – | One time a woman rejected me because she wasn't wearing makeupThis is what happens when someone says something slightly toxic. Someone else makes it worse. The person you're replying to def was buying misandry in their comment. But why egg them on? They are clearly going to exaggerate whatever you got going on. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/02/25 07:06 PM |
| – | One time a woman rejected me because she wasn't wearing makeupI think it's weird when people insist that women are incapable of saying what they mean. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/02/25 07:01 PM |
| – | One time a woman rejected me because she wasn't wearing makeupPossible. But I always find it icky when people rob women agency. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/02/25 06:57 PM |
| – | One time a woman rejected me because she wasn't wearing makeupIt's funny. I can't think of one era of my life where the male peers I had collectively agreed that they prefer when women wear makeup. I know I have heard men say flattering things about it, but never that they prefer it! | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/02/25 06:56 PM |
| – | One time a woman rejected me because she wasn't wearing makeupThat's exactly what happened. I'm not sure what elaborate theory is necessary though. It's pretty simple, you summed it up pretty good yourself. But my opinion is that these kind of encounters are not "infrequent." People usually don't say, why they are rejecting someone else. And sometimes, even if they do act out of character and say why, it might still be a screen to avoid admitting they themselves don't feel empowered enough. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/02/25 06:52 PM |
| – | One time a woman rejected me because she wasn't wearing makeupThat's why I said sometimes at the bottom. But I do believe it's still important to consider for men specifically who get rejected and struggle to build their own confidence back. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/02/25 06:47 PM |
| – | One time a woman rejected me because she wasn't wearing makeupI felt sad for her. She was in no way unattractive, and she wasn't overweight or underweight. But she didn't believe we could build a rapport that was healthy because she wasn't in full makeup. Or men and women in general. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/02/25 06:45 PM |
| 1 | Hypergamy/women's nature falsely seen as the problem with online datingHave you ever thought of how counterproductive it is to perceive yourself competing for women that are interested in men like that? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/02/25 10:14 PM |
| 0 | Hypergamy/women's nature falsely seen as the problem with online datingThese are leaps. In my opinion. If relying on examples of catfishing on a swipe app to test other's real response to others, you're contaminating the evidence. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/02/25 09:06 PM |
| 1 | Hypergamy/women's nature falsely seen as the problem with online datingNo. The problem is there's so many good looking guys that look the same. It's hard picking which big Mac is better from the next big Mac. They are all packaged the same. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/02/25 11:59 PM |
| 1 | Hypergamy/women's nature falsely seen as the problem with online datingSpeaking as a plain guy with only personality to offer, swipe apps didn't warrant as much success for me when compared to meeting women in real life. If I'm able to attract more women in a bar than with my best photos on a swipe app, then my looks aren't the problem. My looks aren't making heads spin but the problem is I'm not able to show my best traits like it is possible in organic settings. Or on platforms that offer the choice to display more personality. Obviously if a man's bio is just su… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/02/25 08:17 PM |

| 1 | Hypergamy/women's nature falsely seen as the problem with online datingWhen you say dating down? Do you mean men aren't attracted to women who are independent and self sufficient and prefer someone desperately in need of benefactor? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/02/25 08:09 PM |
| 6 | Hypergamy/women's nature falsely seen as the problem with online datingConsidering how much for the better part of a decade, article, after article, after statistic, after peer reviewed study, we hear over and over that dating apps have made men lose self esteem. It's evident the swipe app models are a net negative and don't provide an increase in success. Dating is hard. Finding the courage to ask someone out is an art. But if the online dating is supposed to be easier, then why are people more unsatisfied? Why are the ratings for dating apps so low? Why do they c… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/02/25 08:04 PM |
| 2 | Hypergamy/women's nature falsely seen as the problem with online datingPeople with good mental and emotional traits wouldn't find dating apps for similarly healthy minded people even if they decided to try something different. Because all the apps are a cash grab. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/02/25 07:58 PM |
| 2 | Hypergamy/women's nature falsely seen as the problem with online datingMany women I've met that don't like dating apps, don't like them for the same reasons. But I always suspect the reason they get the kind of attention that turns them off, is because men are hyper-conditioned to suspect each woman they talk to is going to be yet another bot. Does anyone remember the "say potato" meme? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/02/25 07:56 PM |
| 0 | Hypergamy/women's nature falsely seen as the problem with online datingSo true. Men and women don't talk about that enough. Women often find just knowing a man is on a dating website to be a turn off. Even if the guy is attractive. Many people in society deep down consider dating websites akin to haste DMing someone when they drop a thirst trap. There's some social credit risk when you broadcast you're lonely. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/02/25 07:53 PM |
| 4 | Hypergamy/women's nature falsely seen as the problem with online datingIt's all about the journey to find out that there is no guaranteed way to find success in dating outside of practice and luck. If men say they have it so easy finding dates online, they are only doing so as a result of trial and error. Websites and apps advertise that it takes just 2 minutes to make a profile and you can instantly meet someone. But even if you manage to pull off convincing a stranger to meet you instantly you still need practice and luck to make a good impression on them. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/02/25 07:46 PM |
| 2 | Hypergamy/women's nature falsely seen as the problem with online datingYes. Agreed. I'm cautious to say they are brain dead. I think they are victim to false advertisement that tell them online is alive. When in fact, it's just a bunch of men talking to bots, made by other men. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/02/25 07:42 PM |
| 1 | Hypergamy/women's nature falsely seen as the problem with online datingYes, dating apps are going to be flawed towards woman, this was obvious from the start, but it’s not because of “hypergamy” it’s because men are not content being single I think dating apps were flawed from the start because the companies that invest in them over time particularly designe them to generate revenue from men. Essentially they are exploiting loneliness. And add to that, they are falsely marketing their apps as providing millions of success stories. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/02/25 07:39 PM |
| 2 | Hypergamy/women's nature falsely seen as the problem with online datingIt's just one example. Like you said. There's contextual evidence and it varies on environments. Therefore online generally very few factors are decided on. Women aren't saints, they can be shallow. But they really have no flex room to be anything else with online dating. Whereas in real life, we all are much more flexible. It's really no different than men in this regard. I'm sure you've seen those couples where the guy is just not at all attractive in a stereotypical fashion but the woman he's… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/02/25 07:33 PM |
| 1 | Hypergamy/women's nature falsely seen as the problem with online datingBut aside from that... let's assume it's creative/funny enough to get past that - is this what works for any of the women here? If you are suggesting, a creative/funny enough approach has gotten past women I know are put off by anything identifiable as a line. Then it must work for the hypothetical women in this hypothetical context. But your issue seems to be that you haven't received a majority of that context. The majority of what I've gotten is either "Hiiii... wanna talk?" Or the ever prese… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/02/25 07:27 PM |
| 1 | Hypergamy/women's nature falsely seen as the problem with online datingGenerally everyone connects more fluidly and naturally in organic environments. Because I can see you look pretty online, but I can see if you are nasty to strangers in a live setting. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/02/25 07:18 PM |
| 2 | Hypergamy/women's nature falsely seen as the problem with online datingI tend to agree that people are misguided when pursuing online dating thinking they are going to get an idealistic outcome. Hence I say the Nintendo to PlayStation incompatibility. Generally, I think online dating is as much a shit show as trying to make friends on Reddit. You got to lower your standards. However the marketing we are all exposed to is so rosy and rainbows. Subscribe for $50 bucks. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/02/25 07:10 PM |
| 2 | Hypergamy/women's nature falsely seen as the problem with online datingI think these websites, or rather the swipe apps, are themselves just restricted so much that they end up used for hookups. And because the apps are dominating the environment, or replacing the old environment, the only apps primarily occupied are the hookup apps. And if most apps are primarily hookup oriented then less women, as they have since 10 years ago, will less use them. But when they are using them they don't have much substance offered beyond lookism. They're just picking from bare min… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/02/25 07:03 PM |
| 2 | Hypergamy/women's nature falsely seen as the problem with online datingIf hinge has a 60/40 gender ratio that's evidence of progress in design. But it's genuinely rare and doesn't disprove the numbers are still low overall. Does hinge still paywall basic functions? What's the gender ratio on the following most popular app? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/02/25 06:47 PM |
| 8 | Hypergamy/women's nature falsely seen as the problem with online datingThat's why these popular dating apps are constantly losing users. And as far back as 2014 Christian Rudder revealed women disproportionately join them to begin with. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/02/25 06:40 PM |
| 1 | Hypergamy/women's nature falsely seen as the problem with online datingLimiting it for monetisation is bad. And just weirdly restricting when you can literally search the entire site of LinkedIn without limit, or tikTok, or Etsy. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/02/25 06:37 PM |
| 7 | Hypergamy/women's nature falsely seen as the problem with online datingExactly. Men should try it out. Ultimately, if it doesn't work, practice what else will. Look for online platforms that emphasize surface and core traits and not just platforms that has 'bodies.' Because typically women seek emotional depth and that's why we often see couples like the King of Queens (I've never seen the show). | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/02/25 06:34 PM |
