| 12 | A lot of men who women otherwise love as friends, but never see them “that way”Well said. Lots of nice guys who struggle with women fail to understand that attractive and nice are two different prerequisites. Men in general tend to overestimate their attractiveness, so as a defense mechanism, they assume women confuse their niceness for boring, instead of considering the more likely reason they are struggling, because they’re unfortunately simply unattractive. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/08/25 07:57 PM |
| – | Women need to come to terms with the fact that they put too much unnecessary mental load onto themselves, and they should stop blaming men for that.It makes a huge difference if the mother is a full-time working mom or a full-time stay at home mom. I think moms with full time jobs are some of the hardest working people alive, but at the same time, I feel like a lot of SAHMs think they have it just as bad as the working moms. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/08/25 10:33 AM |
| 31 | The below 80% of men should strive to get dating apps removedBack in your grandfather’s day, the expression “frigid housewife” existed for a reason. Women were never attracted to the bottom 80% in probably any generation. Removing dating apps won’t fix that. Magically solving the obesity epidemic won’t fix that. Magically removing women from the workforce and putting them back into the homemaker roles won’t fix that. If you’re not a top 20% looking man, your sex life is going to be somewhere between duty-sex to non-existent. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/08/25 10:13 AM |
| 1 | Is a good physique overrated when it comes to attraction?To be clear, are you saying you often see hot (which does imply not chubby) women with ugly-faced buff men? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/07/25 07:08 PM |
| 0 | Is a good physique overrated when it comes to attraction?💯 I often see above-average looking men with butter-face women, never the other way around. The only time physique comes into play for a man is when he’s obese. If you’re already an average-looking man, you’re pretty much already at your ceiling. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/07/25 06:52 PM |
| 2 | The only situation where it’s OKAY to cheatEasy to say when only considering the adults. Kids greatly complicate the situation and are usually the only reason why people in this situation don’t leave. There is no good solution. Ultimately, someone’s getting screwed and many people choose for that person to either be themselves or their spouse and not the kids. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/06/25 07:51 PM |
| 1 | Men who met their spouse off a dating app, did you take the first girl who was willing to go on a date with you?So in other words, you didn’t compromise on the girl, but instead, gave up hopes of being able to play the field? If so, that sounds very common to me. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/04/25 02:51 AM |
| 1 | Is it true most guys would cheat given the opportunity?I’m surprised this doesn’t have more upvotes. I think it’s pretty rare for people to admit to cheating while it’s in progress. The details and admissions usually don’t come out until the relationship is over. In other words, very naive when people think they don’t see it or hear it, therefore it must not be happening. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/04/25 06:39 PM |
| 5 | Men do find women their age physically attractive.You can find women like this at any given gym. Of course, I mean the older ones who were obviously always active and not the ones just coming to the gym for the first time at60. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/04/25 04:49 PM |
| 5 | If single women hit the wall and become ugly to men at 25-30, so do married womenThey are hot without qualifiers, but at the same time, I’m sure their looks still faded compared to their 25 year old selves. Point being, we have a lot of control over whether we let our looks gradually fade or fall off a cliff. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/04/25 01:12 AM |
| 18 | If single women hit the wall and become ugly to men at 25-30, so do married womenNegative. I go to the gym regularly and there are tons of hot 40+ moms. The problem is most American adults are lazy and let themselves go after they say”I do”. Gaining 50% of your body weight between 30 and 40 is NOT a natural adding process. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/04/25 12:51 AM |
| 51 | If single women hit the wall and become ugly to men at 25-30, so do married womenOr adult men with a revenge fantasy. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/04/25 12:50 AM |
| 0 | Can you be an Alpha male without being attractive to women?No joke, that’s exactly what people say now. There are tons of women out there that proudly describe themselves as a conventionally attractive BBW. Times have changed and terms continue to be hijacked to make people feel better 😂 | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/03/25 02:03 AM |
| 1 | Shy and socially awkward women are as disadvantageous in dating as shy menAre you also implying religious? I feel like overly religious would be the bigger red flag for men in 2025 society. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/03/25 05:57 AM |
| 3 | A significant cohort of single childless women are about to hit their 40's. How do you think it's going to affect the conversation about navigating modern relationships?I think your summary of his opinion is correct, and what he’s saying makes sense. No matter how hard we try, the attributes that decide how attractive we are largely the attributes we are born with due to genetics. Just like people can’t control if they’re born to rich or poor parents, they can’t control if they’re born to conventionally attractive or hideous looking parents. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/02/25 04:45 PM |
| 1 | Every Guy I Know That Dated Around a Lot, Enjoyed the Idea of Soft HaremsI believe in regular harem, there is no illusions or deception about the situation, and the women are aware of each other. In a soft harem, the man never admits to the situation and the women involved do not know about the existence of the other women, other than their varying levels of observation telling them that he’s sleeping around with multiple women. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/02/25 09:30 PM |
| 5 | Vast Majority of Women are Landing Men Who Were In Romantic Exile, and They Know ItDead bedrooms are complicated, and there’s many ways to end up there. I was only implying one way to end up there. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/01/25 06:09 PM |
| 2 | women don't like men dating within their social circlesExactly right. If I can add one more scenario I’ve seen several times, the couples that were “friends first” didn’t immediately date only because one of them was already in a relationship when they met. It was never the scenario where both were single but it took a few months for the romance to blossom. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/01/25 06:01 PM |
| -1 | Vast Majority of Women are Landing Men Who Were In Romantic Exile, and They Know ItInitially, it’s all good for the man. The risk lies a few years down the road when he could be in a dead bedroom marriage. If he’s lucky, the woman would be higher libido and would be able to enjoy sex with men that meet a realistic minimum looks threshold. If she’s low libido and can only get hot for Chad, he won’t figure out the trap until her kid quota is met. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/01/25 05:45 PM |
| 24 | When You’re On a Date with a Woman, She Usually Has 3 Other Guys AlreadyCorrection, most women fuck the same guys. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/01/25 08:31 PM |
| 14 | There are 2 harsh truths that men and women have accept sooner or later.I believe in leagues, so I like to use the baseball analogy of tiered leagues to describe men’s situation (single-A, AA, AAA, Major League Baseball). Not everyone in your league will be attracted to you, but your league is the group you have the most success in. IE, if you’re a 5/10, you might occasionally get a hit with a 7 for a few dinner dates, but that doesn’t make you a 7 permanently. The point I’m making is a man’s league is determined by the face and height he was born with. All the effo… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/01/25 04:44 PM |
| 1 | Men improving themselves wont fix the dating market, women need to lower their standards.That sounds like when millionaires point to unemployment and say the economy is better than ever. Maybe 20% are doing awesome and 80% are struggling paycheck to paycheck. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/01/25 11:17 PM |
| 9 | Getting Online Dates and Real Gender Ratios on Dating AppsAre you confident those aren’t all bots? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/12/24 12:35 AM |
| – | Why do women compliment each other even when it's obvious the reality is different?They’re not living in easy mode, they’re living in denial mode. Those men put in the effort to master the mental gymnastics required to more highly prioritize non-physical characteristics, minimize their awareness of physical characteristics, and then convince themselves that the non-physical characteristics directly influence physical attraction. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/12/24 08:25 PM |
| 1 | CMV: Why are males more likely to stay in miserable marriages?It’s very simple. Kids, money, and dating prospects. Lots of dads realize that they’ll become a footnote in their kids childhoods if they’re not an everyday dad. Division by two is painful no matter much or how little money they have. Thanks to the internet, most average-looking men realize how shitty dating is for the bottom 90%, so most men in dead bedrooms realize the grass will not be greener on the other side for them. All three of the above probably makes divorce a non-so-obvious decision. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/11/24 06:37 PM |
| 4 | What do you think about the idea that women may put men into two groups- those who are “hookup/ONS” material and those who are “relationship/husband” material?The perceived insult comes from the belief that women offer differing levels of sexual enthusiasm for different men. Most men assume the out-of-your-league player/FWB gets the late-night-Cinemax enthusiasm sex, while the in-your-league relationship material guy gets the doing-the-laundry enthusiasm sex. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/11/24 01:44 AM |
| 8 | What do you think about the idea that women may put men into two groups- those who are “hookup/ONS” material and those who are “relationship/husband” material?I have one general idea for you to consider for men 30+. Not most, but a large number of men are invisible to women until 30. Those men will be suspicious why women are all of a sudden paying attention to them. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/11/24 01:56 AM |
| 1 | Men's advantages vs women's advantagesCorrection, 17 to 40. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/11/24 04:51 PM |
| – | Women aren't attracted to dad bods, they can't keep up with fit men's standards.Your eyes may be telling you one thing, but keep in mind there are a ton of dead bedrooms out there. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/11/24 04:42 AM |
| – | Should A Broke 30(M) Year Old Student Avoid Serious Relationships Until His Life Is In Order? What Are Your Thoughts?(43M) It’s significantly more difficult to meet people after you graduate school than during school. I’d strongly recommend not delaying relationships of any kind. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/11/24 03:57 PM |
| 2 | Is marriage worth it? How many marriages are actually happy and how many suck in your experience/circles? Why are most people pursuing this goal?(44M) … it’s tough to tell which happy couples are truly happy because they’re usually the churchy ones talking about how blessed they are. I suspect the true number of truly happy is far less than 10%. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/10/24 03:44 AM |
| 2 | Men's low standards make women more picky on the apps.That sounds like E-Harmony. Check out their subreddit 😆 | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/10/24 06:37 PM |
| 1 | What is the real reason some men are able to have success with love and some aren’t?I believe in leagues and the key to success is to both recognize and accept your league. The men and women that struggle either grossly overestimate their looks, or they do know their league but are dissatisfied with their options and refuse to settle (picky). | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/10/24 06:57 AM |
| 1 | In 2024, Women Are More Valued Than Ever in the Dating Market(43M) agreed, and there’s also tons of female divorcees who proudly declare “one and done” and only date casually. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/09/24 12:10 AM |
| 1 | "Women might be pickier, but their preferences are also unique to each one of them", actually they're rather similarI agree with you especially because you said the key phrase, totally free to make a choice. Look at how women date now that more than 2/3 of them work and they are financially free to make a choice. Then add in online dating. I think women’s dating behavior 50 years ago is heavily skewed because women had so little opportunity to make choices. Women’s dating behavior post 2000 is the most real it’s ever been. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/08/24 07:02 PM |
| 3 | "Women might be pickier, but their preferences are also unique to each one of them", actually they're rather similarSure, a win for that specific guy, but the problem is what the commenter above said. If men greatly outnumber women at all these niche hobbies, most men are still SOL. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/08/24 06:42 PM |
| – | There's a huge difference between what younger women want and what older women want which I believe causes a lot of confusion between what works best for dating(43M) If you want a glimpse into the future, there are a ton of 35+ divorced women in midlife crisis mode. It almost seems 50/50, between those still wanting to “take things slow” and going on job interview dates to select their forever provider versus those wanting to go back to having fun dates and going with the flow like they’re 21 again. If you’re a man who plans on having a glow up and think dating will get easier as you get older, the type of woman you match with (real life or OLD) should… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/08/24 03:14 PM |
| 2 | The "nice guy" trope is a defense mechanism which women deploy to divert attention from the fact that they are rejecting a guy based on a lack of physical attractionThe attractiveness of a man’s partners reveals his league. This can be tricky for men since they get constant rejection and have dry spells before they find success. Constant rejection as a man doesn’t guarantee you’re unattractive. It just means you don’t have a good read on what your league is. Lots of average men think they’re unattractive because they don’t realize they’re overreaching for above-average looking women. TLDR; attractiveness of a man’s partners reflects his attractiveness, not … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/08/24 02:55 PM |
| 3 | What do men want women to do when they become sexually undesirable as they age?(43M) Can confirm. Even the obese women in their 40s have more dating options than the average man. Obviously these women will have less options than a thin woman, but I still notice obese women seem to have shorter dry spells than average men. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/07/24 05:09 PM |
| 0 | What do men want women to do when they become sexually undesirable as they age?100%. The Wall is an extremely misleading term on this sub. It’s not even a slide in my opinion. It’s more like a gradual decline. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/07/24 05:06 PM |
| – | Vogue dating columnist casually admits that women have it hard in dating because they need to compete for a minority of menBoth genders overestimate the importance of the bare minimums. Women’s putting out = men’s being nice | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/07/24 04:06 AM |
| – | Vogue dating columnist casually admits that women have it hard in dating because they need to compete for a minority of menWomen seem to be especially sensitive to buzz words. I’ve also found on Reddit they generally agree with RP talking points as long as I explain my opinions in detail and don’t use the modern lingo. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/07/24 04:04 AM |
| 5 | Women don't hit a wall, but they do stop taking care of their body after a certain age which is why most men prefer to date younger.Respectfully disagree. Children learn a lot from their parents, good and bad. What Americans tend to blame on bad genetics is really learned behaviors and habits of shitty eating and sedentary lifestyles. It just seems hereditary because most obese people copied the bad lifestyle habits learned from their parents, while the people who seem “lucky” are really being active and eating disciplined diets, copying the good habits learned from their parents. I also believe aging gets blamed a lot for b… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/07/24 05:26 PM |
| 1 | Q4ALL: What would you teach your children about dating?I’d teach them that looks absolutely matter for both genders. Sure, below-average looking people can find a life partner too, but that’s playing the dating game on hard mode and relying on luck that you’ll find a decent person who doesn’t value looks. By putting more effort to your appearance you’ll have many more options for finding a good partner in life. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/12/22 07:33 PM |
| 3 | The Wall/s(42M) I agree the wall is a myth. I work in a white collar environment with a lot of women in their 40s who are not overweight. They have zero difficulty meeting high value men, both online and IRL. P.S. Although these HVW appear to meet men so easily, they also seem to deal with all the same bullshit unattractive men and women dealt with in their marriages and dating post divorce.. Getting first dates easily seems to be their only advantage, although it’s a huge one. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/11/22 10:26 PM |
| 1 | How does the "you need to see women as a person first" work on Tinder?Exactly. Try approaching women at a bar, dance club, or other social gathering where cold approaching would be acceptable. If they don’t like your look in the initial few seconds, they’ll hide behind their friends and declare “girls night out, sorry.” IMO, that is the real life equivalent of swiping left. That instantaneous judgement of men based on a split second evaluation of their looks only existed way before Tinder was released. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/01/22 05:37 PM |
| 2 | The workplace is the best place for most adults to find a partnerI hear don’t shit where you eat all the time, but unless you work for a tiny company, it shouldn’t be too risky to date someone at work as long as they are outside of your immediate work circle. In other words, someone in a different department, or someone you see only occasionally or in passing. Definitely not someone you’ll see all day, every day. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/01/22 05:28 AM |
| 1 | What makes a 'Stacy'? What makes a 'Chad'?But shouldn’t quality matter? Is a man who is juggling 2s and 3s really a Chad? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/12/21 05:53 AM |
| 0 | Is dating today worth it?The point I’m making is making a marriage work is less luck and more hard work and effort. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/12/21 09:13 PM |

| 0 | Is dating today worth it?Awesome response! If you want to have a productive life, sometimes you have to put yourselves out there and take risks. Live a little. Most people I know who refuse to marry cite the 50% divorce rate as their main deterrent. That’s living scared IMO. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/12/21 05:26 PM |
