You don’t have to as I’m sure even men in your own area who you think are being nice still see you as incapable. A lot of them are also trying to get a piece of ass. Now me personally, I hold the door open for everyone. Because it’s not based on chivalry. It’s based on being a decent human and treating everyone the same way I want to be treated.
/r/PurplePillDebate18/08/26 07:17 PM

Have you noticed that even today, chivalry is very prominent among MAGA’s? This is why. They don’t view women as equals. They will hold the door open and pay for dinner but at the same time will take away your reproductive rights.
/r/PurplePillDebate18/08/26 07:12 PM

Traditional chivalry comes from benevolent sexism. It’s the belief that men are capable actors and women are dependents requiring male care. It was built from patriarchal assumptions about women.
/r/PurplePillDebate18/08/26 07:04 PM

Racism is a cultural norm some places too though. Should they also not reject that? This type of chivalry is also rooted in misogyny. It comes from a time when women were deemed helpless and inferior. So of if I took part in this type of chivalry, it would be because I didn’t view her as an equal.

That’s not a fact about women. That’s an internet take that gets repeated so often on gender-war engagement platforms that people who spend their lives online start mistaking it for reality. Reddit isn’t the real world. It’s just very good at convincing its most chronically online users that it is.

Those two responses literally contradict each other. I point out that most fat men have no problem dating fat women, and you say, “How did that change a single thing I said?” Then I say a fit man has fewer quality options, and suddenly your rebuttal is, “Fat women don’t stop being options just because you don’t like them.” So fat women being options for fat men is irrelevant to your argument, but fat women being “options” for fit men who don’t want them somehow disproves mine? You’re changing wh…

Most fat men have no problem with a fat woman though. Many even prefer it. If they didn’t, there wouldn’t be terms like curvy, thicc, etc and BBW wouldn’t be one of the most clocked on genre of porn. But considering the average woman is fat, the average fit guy has very few quality options considering we see fat for what it really is.

I will say my standards are more reasonable than women. I have preferences I’m not trying to die on a hill over and far fewer dealbreaker. But with that being said, if I feel I lowered my standards, the relationship is going to be more short term and you’re not going to be any kind of priority. Now I am pretty fit, attractive and fairly successful. But I’m also 5’7” which does remove me from a lot of women’s checklists. But considering so many of these women complain they’re having a hard time d…

You just proved my point. You admittedly don’t care why a man isn’t pursuing you. You simply check “no” and apparently interpret that as him failing to demonstrate competence or traditional masculinity. But how do you know the problem is him? Maybe he isn’t passive at all. Maybe he actively pursues women he actually wants and you didn’t give him a reason to want you. If every lack of pursuit gets dismissed as “he wasn’t man enough to take charge,” you’ve constructed a worldview where you never h…

You’re still assuming the woman is the selector and the man is essentially auditioning for her approval. That’s the entire flaw in your argument. Of course you can lose interest if a man doesn’t pursue you the way you want. Nobody said otherwise. But you’re assuming he had enough interest in you to pursue you in the first place. Maybe you never gave him a reason to be interested. Maybe he doesn’t like your personality. Maybe there’s no sexual chemistry. Maybe after sex he realizes he isn’t attra…

That’s a convenient way to avoid every point I actually made. You couldn’t address the argument about pursuit, confidence or your supposed Red Pill “abundance,” so now we’re arguing semantics over the word “marriage-like.” I was engaged to one woman and didn’t marry her because she cheated on me. I spent years with my younger son’s mother and made it clear I wouldn’t marry her unless she addressed her alcoholism. Neither situation demonstrates an inability to commit or some failure to understand…

Having sex with 100+ women over the course of my life doesn’t mean I’m incapable of long-term relationships or courtship. I’ve had marriage-like relationships lasting anywhere from 5 to 13 years. I just happen to enjoy being single when I’m single. You’re treating sexual history and the ability to commit as though they’re mutually exclusive. They aren’t. I’m perfectly capable of traditional courtship with a woman who actually makes me want that kind of relationship. I know because I’ve already l…

Did you even read what I wrote? What “behavior” am I supposedly making excuses for? A man not pursuing a woman hard enough? That’s literally the assumption I’m criticizing. And where did “men they don’t find attractive” even come from? The entire point is that she may be attracted to him while he simply isn’t interested enough in her to pursue her. Apparently a man becomes “unattractive” the moment he doesn’t provide the attention and validation she expected? Not chasing a woman isn’t bad behavi…

Calling this “weirdly personal” feels more like a deflection than an answer to what I’m actually challenging. I used myself as an example because I can give you the perspective of a man who isn’t desperate for female attention. That’s a counterexample to your premise, not a personal attack on you. You keep bouncing between two different claims: “I personally don’t like this behavior” and “this behavior is passive.” The first is a preference. Nobody is arguing that you aren’t allowed to lose inte…

She absolutely has the right to move on. But you’re still assuming that a man who isn’t immediately pursuing must be disinterested, rather than simply not interested enough yet to pursue. Those aren’t the same thing. And ironically, that filter can select for the exact opposite of what you’re calling confidence. The thirsty guy who aggressively pursues every attractive woman immediately passes your “confident man” test. Meanwhile, the guy who’s comfortable with himself, has options, doesn’t need…

You’re still assuming “not pursuing me” = passive behavior. That’s exactly what I’m questioning. Passivity describes someone failing to act despite wanting or needing to act. You haven’t established that he wanted to pursue her in the first place. Maybe she simply hadn’t given him a reason to be interested yet. Maybe he was neutral, still getting to know her, had other options, or just doesn’t chase women based on initial attraction alone. Her becoming interested first doesn’t suddenly create an…

You’re still assuming his behavior revolves around you. Not pursuing you isn’t “passivity.” He doesn’t owe you pursuit, initiative, or even an explanation for why he hasn’t asked you out. Maybe he doesn’t chase women. Maybe he has other priorities. Maybe he’s mildly interested but hasn’t decided whether he wants anything more. Maybe the rumor mill exaggerated his interest. Maybe he simply doesn’t want you enough to do anything about it. None of those things make him passive. You’re starting with…

Why are you assuming they’re passive? A man not asking you out doesn’t necessarily mean he’s too timid or passive to do it. Maybe he doesn’t chase women. Maybe he wasn’t initially interested enough to pursue you. Maybe he was still figuring out whether he was attracted to you at all, and you happened to become interested first. Calling that “passivity” seems to start from the assumption that you’re automatically the prize and any interested, sufficiently masculine man should naturally pursue you…

Most women I know would call these men “baby back bitches.” 😂 You can love and respect women without self-loathing, putting women on a pedestal, or reflexively defending them from every criticism. That’s the distinction being missed here. A “white knight” isn’t simply a man who respects women. It’s the guy who is conspicuously over-accommodating toward women and rushes to their defense regardless of whether the criticism is actually valid, often because he thinks being the “niceguy” will earn hi…

Reddit desperately needs a disclaimer that says, “The opinions expressed here are not representative of the general population.” Spend enough time on PPD and you’d think half of women are proudly childfree, nobody meets organically anymore, approaching someone anywhere is harassment, and every relationship is a spreadsheet of height, income, and “sexual market value.” Then you go outside and discover something shocking: most people aren’t conducting their lives according to Reddit discourse.

I understand perfectly well that assortative mating and hypergamy aren’t identical. Two people selecting each other because they’re in approximately the same socioeconomic class is assortative mating. Selecting or preferring a partner above your own socioeconomic position is hypergamy. I haven’t confused the definitions. But you’ve now moved from arguing that socioeconomic status isn’t particularly important to explicitly saying, “people like dating within their socioeconomic bracket because the…

The statistic you’re citing doesn’t establish what you think it establishes. Yes, wives outearning husbands has increased. But Pew’s Census-based analysis still found only 16% of opposite-sex marriages had a wife who was the sole or primary breadwinner in 2022, compared with 55% where the husband was the sole or primary breadwinner. Another 29% were roughly equal earners. So we’ve clearly moved toward greater economic equality, but that isn’t evidence that socioeconomic status has stopped matter…

I think you’re working backwards here.

And yes, I introduced the term hypergamy. But hypergamy isn’t some concept invented by the red pill.

I absolutely would change my mind if differing experiences consistently gave me a reason to. That’s how changing your mind works. But “someone else has a different experience” doesn’t automatically invalidate years of my own experiences either. And this isn’t limited to my dating history or the people I supposedly “surround myself with.” I’m involved with a major men’s cancer organization, and what happens to men during and after cancer is a recurring topic among guys from very different backgro…

Sorry, but I only listen to two podcasts: Mind Pump and The Model Health Show. Neither has anything to do with gender politics, so that’s a swing and a miss. And yes, I’d absolutely understand why a woman who’s repeatedly had similar experiences with men would develop certain views. We all form beliefs from patterns we observe. The difference is that I’d also expect those beliefs to be open to revision when new evidence comes along. My views aren’t based on one bad breakup. They’re based on year…

That’s the thing—it isn’t based on one bad relationship or one type of woman. I’ve dated women from different backgrounds, incomes, education levels, and personalities, and the same pattern kept repeating. When I was over 100 pounds heavier, I was largely invisible. After I got in shape, women with the same body type I used to have suddenly showed strong interest. One literally called me a “unicorn.” But would I still be a unicorn if she was actually fit and didn’t have a high BMI? Then I got pa…

That’s not really what I’m saying. My point is that people’s behavior toward me changed dramatically based on circumstances, not because my personality changed. I lost over 100 pounds and got muscular , and suddenly women who previously wouldn’t have looked twice at me were showing interest. even women who had a similar body type to the one I used to have.

In some way meaning looks, income, how tall he is, etc. which is why I also included disabilities. I’m not shifting anything and it’s absolutely insane how much my dating attention improved or declined based on certain things in my life at the time despite being the exact same person. You just misinterpreted. Same goes for the quality of women. It’s to the point where I fake still being poor when looking for a long term partner because I want someone who likes me for me and not what I have.
/r/PurplePillDebate06/08/26 06:44 PM

No, it comes down to two things. Looks and income. Most women are not after someone even remotely close to themselves in looks or someone with similar earnings. And while men with money will date and marry broke women, women with disabilities, etc, most women won’t do the same.

I think if we got rid of hypergamy, there would be much less cheating. Women need to realize that men with a ton of options cheat as do men who feel like they settled. I’ll personally never settle again. I get with a lot of women other men would be happy with but aren’t given the time of day. But I would never be happy in a relationship with them so I play the field until I find one I could actually see myself with.

This is exactly why people push back on phrases like “all men.” You spend the entire post acknowledging that not every man endorses rape culture, then title it “This is why we say all men.” Those two ideas contradict each other.

I understand the connection you’re making. I just reject the conclusion. “Bad behavior affects everyone” doesn’t logically create a duty for unrelated men to police other men. That’s the leap I disagree with.

You keep saying “everything is connected,” but that’s an assertion, not an argument. The topic is whether men should approach women at the gym. You’ve switched to whether men have a broader responsibility to police other men’s behavior. Even if you think those issues are related, you still have to explain why one logically leads to the other. Saying “everything is connected” doesn’t establish a duty for random men to intervene or stop approaching women.

No. I said your etiquette book isn’t a universal authority. “Use common sense” isn’t an appeal to a specific author claiming objective rules for everyone. It means read the room, be respectful, accept “no,” and adjust to the culture you’re actually in. Ironically, that’s far more adaptable than treating one etiquette writer as the final word on human interaction. That’s like trying to dictate everyone’s diet because you read a book written by a vegan author.

Then let's go back to the actual topic. The OP is about whether men should approach women at the gym. Instead of addressing that, you've shifted to whether male friends should intervene when another man behaves badly. Those are different discussions. Whether a guy's friends should say something has nothing to do with whether strangers have a duty to approach, intervene, or police other men. My point has been consistent: random men are not collectively obligated to act as security guards for ever…

Amy Vanderbilt wrote a book on etiquette, not the book on etiquette. Emily Post wrote one too. Judith Martin (“Miss Manners”) has another. Different cultures, countries, and time periods have different etiquette norms. That’s exactly why I said etiquette isn’t a universal authority with one rulebook. Appealing to the book your family happened to use doesn’t make it an objective standard for everyone else. Some people use The Holy Bible.

You’re moving the goalposts. First it was “men need to hold men accountable” as if all men are responsible. Now it’s “the men in this story should have done more.” Those are completely different claims. I never argued those specific friends couldn’t have acted differently. I rejected the idea that random men have some collective obligation to police every other man.

According to the standards of etiquette” isn’t really an answer. Etiquette isn’t a universal authority with one rulebook. Different cultures and different people have different expectations. Plenty of couples met because someone politely introduced themselves in places that weren’t explicitly social events.

If it’s my buddy acting like an idiot, I’ll call him out. If it’s a random stranger, I’m not automatically obligated to insert myself into an unpredictable confrontation. Adults are responsible for their own behavior, and bystanders have to make judgments about their own safety too. Expecting every man to police every other man isn’t a realistic standard.

I agree that men who harass women should be called out. But the idea that “men need to hold men accountable” gets thrown around like random guys are responsible for the behavior of every other man. Most of us aren’t friends with the guy bothering someone at the gym. Individual adults are responsible for their own actions, not every person who happens to share their sex.

If the gym is supposed to be treated as a completely antisocial space where nobody should ever strike up a conversation, then why not just build a home gym? Most commercial gyms have always had a social element. People make friends, find workout partners, network, and yes, sometimes meet romantic partners. I know I have.
/r/PurplePillDebate03/08/26 12:58 PM

That’s not really the issue. Plenty of women have publicly said they’re open to meeting someone at the gym if it’s done respectfully and they find the guy attractive. The problem is when a vocal group online acts like their preference should become the rule for everyone. Women aren’t a monolith, so “never approach at the gym” doesn’t speak for all of them.
/r/PurplePillDebate03/08/26 12:17 PM

So the solution is to funnel everyone onto apps that people constantly complain are toxic? Meeting someone respectfully in real life has been normal for generations. Harassment isn’t okay, but treating every real-world approach as inappropriate isn’t a great alternative either.

That’s kind of the problem. Men are constantly told to “go meet people in real life” and “get off the apps,” but then every place where people naturally interact gets declared off-limits. Don’t approach at work. Don’t approach at the gym. Don’t approach while she’s shopping. Don’t approach at coffee shops because she’s busy. Don’t approach on public transit because it’s creepy.

You’re asking me to respond to what you’re actually saying, so let’s do that. If you’re proposing a lump-sum payment for pregnancy, who pays it? The father? The government? Insurance? And how is the amount determined? A healthy pregnancy isn’t the same as a high-risk pregnancy, and a pregnancy ending in miscarriage isn’t the same as carrying to term.

You’re conflating three different issues: pregnancy, child support, and compensation between adults. Pregnancy absolutely involves sacrifices and health risks. No one is denying that. But that doesn’t automatically create a permanent financial debt that one parent owes the other.

I didn’t invent that implication. The harassment point was raised in response to a discussion about why people choose careers. If someone brings up harassment in the trades as a rebuttal to recommending the trades, it’s fair to ask whether they have evidence it’s a significant reason women avoid those careers. Otherwise it’s just introducing a fact that doesn’t actually address the argument.
/r/PurplePillDebate29/07/26 12:02 PM

You’re proving my point. First it was biology, now it’s money. Pregnancy isn’t a service you invoice your partner for. In a healthy relationship both people contribute in different ways over decades. If your standard is that men owe women additional compensation simply for being female and capable of pregnancy, then you’ve replaced partnership with permanent financial debt. And “women come out on top monetarily” isn’t universally true either. In many relationships men still earn more, pay a disp…

Do you have evidence that harassment is the primary reason women avoid the trades? Interest, working conditions, physical demands, schedules, and personal preferences all influence career choice.

Job market is only shit if you went to college to get the exact same degrees millions of other people have. I’m a proud community college dropout making $100k. Keep going to college though. It puts me even more in demand thanks to vast labor shortages in skilled trades.

Nobody is denying that pregnancy and childbirth are major sacrifices. The disagreement is with the conclusion you’re drawing from that fact. You’re treating biology as though it creates a permanent imbalance that men can never repay. If that’s your standard, then no amount of paternal leave, financial support, childcare, housework, career sacrifices, or emotional support will ever be enough, because men can never experience pregnancy themselves. That’s not equality, it’s an unpayable debt. Healt…

I don’t think many people would disagree with that. If either spouse has a permanent disability whether from childbirth, a workplace injury, cancer, or anything else, the other partner should pick up more where they’re able. That’s just what marriage is. The disagreement is when pregnancy or childbirth is treated as a permanent debt that obligates the husband indefinitely, even after she’s fully recovered. Those are two very different arguments.

You’re taking a legitimate point that pregnancy is physically demanding and turning it into an assumption about all men. Plenty of fathers take paternity leave, wake up for night feedings, handle diapers, work extra hours to support the family, and care for their partners during recovery. Saying “men don’t care” is no more accurate than saying “women don’t care when men sacrifice.” The goal shouldn’t be to prove one sex has it harder forever. It should be building a relationship where both peopl…

Pregnancy and childbirth absolutely aren’t 50/50 biologically, and any decent partner should shoulder more of the burden during pregnancy and recovery. But that doesn’t mean the relationship itself should be permanently unequal afterward. Fairness isn’t measured by trying to “repay” pregnancy forever. It’s measured by both partners adapting to each other’s circumstances over time. If he’s working 70 hours a week, maybe she does more at home. If she’s recovering from childbirth or breastfeeding, …

This feels like a straw man. Consent should absolutely be voluntary and free from coercion. That isn’t controversial.

You’re making a huge leap from “mothers have primary custody more often” to “men don’t care about their children.” Those are not the same claim. Custody outcomes are influenced by pre-separation caregiving roles, work schedules, financial realities, negotiated agreements, and whether either parent even contests custody. You’d need evidence that fathers wanted primary custody, sought it, and were denied because they were men before you can make that argument. Saying “27% of men abandon their chil…

You’re mixing unrelated statistics and treating them as if they prove the same thing.

You’re changing the argument. I never said every single man is single because of physical attraction. I’m saying physical attraction is a major gatekeeper in dating.

You’re conflating vulnerability with a victim complex. Those aren’t the same thing.

read your post. The issue is that your framing only seems to move in one direction. You keep bringing it back to “men should adapt,” but that assumes men are always the variable that needs changing and women are just the environment to react to. That’s the part I disagree with. Yes, people should improve themselves. Social skills matter. Fitness matters. Confidence matters. Respect matters. But relationships are still about mutual compatibility, not just adaptation. You say if someone is incompa…

You keep reframing what I’m saying into a completely different argument. I was specifically talking about compatibility with women and parts of the dating pool, and you keep converting it into: “men should adapt or nobody owes them pity.” That’s not the argument I made. I never said men shouldn’t improve. I never said people owe anyone attraction. I never said someone should be accepted “as is” while putting in zero effort. What I said was: at some point “adapt” becomes “ignore incompatibility.”…

You’re still collapsing two different things together: 1-refusing to improve yourself, and 2-refusing to date people you’re incompatible with. Those are not the same. If a guy is socially awkward, bitter, disrespectful, unemployed, unhygienic, or puts in zero effort and then says “women should take me as I am,” sure. that’s refusing to adapt. But what about women who are the same? Why is she in my DM’s and not his when she has not a chance in hell? Adaptation has limits. At some point it becomes…

I think you’re assuming adaptation only goes one direction. Of course people should improve themselves. I’ve changed a lot in my own life. But dating isn’t “men adapt, women evaluate.” Everyone filters and everyone adapts. The part I disagree with is this idea that if a man has standards, he’s “refusing to adapt,” but if a woman has standards, that’s just preference. At some point adaptation becomes “date people you’re fundamentally incompatible with.” If I’m disciplined about fitness, active, s…

Working has nothing to do with the point. You can work full time and still be a sedentary homebody. I’m talking lifestyle.

There are a few truths buried in this that get stretched into a worldview. Yes, attraction is uneven. Yes, some men struggle more than others. Yes, dating can feel asymmetrical and rejection-heavy for men. And yes, a lot of men tie self-worth way too much to female validation. But this whole framing quietly turns “dating is difficult and unequal” into “average men are basically invisible until women settle.” That’s where it loses me. First, the idea that average men spend decades sexless while a…

You’re partly proving my point here. I agree there are varying degrees of agency. Someone bullied relentlessly, socially anxious, neurodivergent, or deeply avoidant absolutely starts farther behind than someone naturally confident and socially calibrated. Pretending everyone starts from the same place is naïve.

You’re mixing up two different arguments. First, I never said shy/avoidant men are “bad” or undeserving. I said those traits make life harder across multiple domains if they go unmanaged. Dating isn’t some magical isolated exception. If you struggle with confidence, avoidance, social anxiety, communication, handling rejection, or putting yourself out there, yes, that can affect interviews, networking, leadership, friendships, conflict resolution, and career growth too.

Not really. This whole “most men are unattractive” thing feels way more like an internet narrative pushed by both Red and Blue pill spaces than real life.

In the real world, attraction is messy and contextual. Looks matter. Personality …

I didn’t say that. But a big part is. The more sedentary a person is, the more they consume and the more mess they create. Imagine if you had more hobbies. How often would you have to actually do these other things? Sedentary people who spend most of their time at home create more mess and require/expect more chores.

Don’t create unnecessary chores. My breakfast fits in a blender bottle with virtually no cleanup except a couple measuring cups and the bottle itself. What about yours? If I’m eating my overnight oats, and you need some messy breakfast with eggs, bacon, hash browns, toast, etc, am I supposed to clean half your shit up? I don’t cook meals together, I expect to do my own laundry, etc. But somehow I’ve been expected to clean messes I never even made.

Or maybe her endless chore obsession is getting in the way of everyday life. Sedentary people tend to have more chores.

“Some Men” is the key here and that is generally very young men before maturity kicks in. Reddit seems to live on this bubble where all men are 18 year old bros. But men generally have a much wider scale as to what they find attractive. Women did the same before social media trends took over. What women used to see as fantasies, 20-30 years ago have now become the bar and men they would have found attractive enough to marry back then are now seen as invisible.

‘I have a degree in psychology so I know what I’m talking about’ is the exact same ‘I’m more qualified than you’ argument you just said was narcissistic. So either that behavior is narcissistic… or it’s just people being confident/arrogant in a debate. You can’t call it narcissism when others do it and then turn around and use the same appeal to authority yourself. That’s my point. This isn’t narcissism, it’s just people being dismissive in arguments. Slapping clinical labels on it doesn’t make …

‘I’m more qualified’ = arrogant. Or even rage bait. Narcissism = a long-term pattern of entitlement, lack of empathy, and grandiosity across situations. Those aren’t the same thing. You’re turning a one-off rude comment into a personality diagnosis. I was a victim of narcissism for 13 years. This behavior you’re describing is not that.

Someone being condescending in a debate = arrogant. Narcissism = a long-term pattern of entitlement, lack of empathy, need for admiration, and exploiting others. Those aren’t the same thing. Slapping ‘narcissist’ on every guy who says something rude just turns it into a buzzword, not an actual description of behavior.

Nobody’s defending the weird behavior you dealt with. But labeling a whole group as ‘narcissistic’ and using a handful of bad interactions to dismiss men entirely is just overgeneralizing with therapy buzzwords. Call out individuals, sure.

That’s a massive leap. You went from “fewer men pursue custody” to “men don’t care about their kids,” and just skipped over every real-world factor in between. Cost alone shuts a lot of guys out.

You keep saying “facts,” but you’re selectively applying them. That’s the issue. Yes, there are stats showing men commit more violent crime or certain behaviors but that doesn’t automatically justify broad generalizations about men as a whole. Just like we don’t take crime statistics and say “this defines an entire race,” because we understand context, environment, and selection bias matter. Same principle. And your point about custody actually proves mine more than yours. Saying “men are less l…

The issue isn’t “missing details,” it’s that family court doesn’t operate the way people think it does. Criminal court and family court are completely different. You can have a criminal record and still be awarded custody because family court prioritizes things like “status quo,” and long-standing assumptions about parenting roles.

Yeah it throws people off at first, but body weight and body fat % aren’t the same thing at all. It’s all about composition. 130 lbs at 40% body fat just means a large portion of that weight is fat and not much is lean mass (muscle, bone, etc). Someone can weigh less but look softer because they don’t have much muscle underneath. On the flip side, you at 140 and 17% have significantly more lean mass, which is why you look leaner even though you weigh more. That’s also why GLP-1 results can be mi…

Calling it a “tantrum” doesn’t fix the holes in your argument, it just avoids them. If you had an actual rebuttal, you’d use it. Instead you’re defaulting to tone-policing because the logic didn’t land the way you wanted. That’s not me losing, that’s you pivoting.

You didn’t “explain logic,” you just asserted a conclusion and declared it correct.

You keep saying “nobody cares unless you hit a certain level,” but that’s just something you’re repeating, not something you’ve demonstrated. Let’s bring this back to reality for a second. The average man isn’t lean. He’s sitting somewhere around the high teens to mid 20s body fat, with minimal muscle development. No shoulder cap, no arm separation, no visible midsection. That’s the baseline. This is not that. There’s visible shoulder roundness, arm development, and actual midsection structure. …

“You’ve dug yourself into a hole”? No, you’ve just redefined all attraction as prejudice and hoped nobody notices. Humans filter instantly. That’s not “profiling,” that’s basic pattern recognition. You do it, I do it, everyone does it. You’re not interviewing every single person on earth before deciding if you’re attracted to them. And let’s be real.

“Checkmate”? You just proved my point. You’re calling lack of attraction “prejudice” because you think people owe others a chance. They don’t. Attraction isn’t a charity program. By your logic, every preference is prejudice—height, weight, age, even sexual orientation. It falls apart instantly. Nobody “gets to know everyone as an individual” before deciding.

The difference is just how it’s used sometimes to explain dating, other times to shame men who aren’t making enough money. But the bigger problem is the fantasy that gets pushed alongside it. There’s this narrative that if a man cracks the top 10% in income, he suddenly unlocks the entire dating pool. Like he can just pick any woman he wants and lock her down long term regardless of background, lifestyle…

If you have to invent my position to respond to it, you don’t really have a point. I didn’t say that at all. You just reframed it into something easier to attack. That’s kind of what happens in these echo chambers. People respond to what they pretend you said instead of what actually was.

That’s not an argument, it’s a caricature. Nobody said ‘treat women however we want.’ You just replaced what I said with something easier to mock. That kind of oversimplification is exactly the point I was making, turning the other side into a cartoon instead of engaging with what’s actually being said. People who are fulfilled in real life don’t spend their time in online echo chambers taking shots at entire groups. That behavior kind of contradicts the ‘happily married’ claim. And who in the f…

So by your logic, as long as a group can point to “lived experience” or statistics, it’s fair to generalize the entire group? Because that standard gets real uncomfortable real fast. You wouldn’t accept someone saying they’re more afraid of a random Black man because of crime statistics. You’d immediately recognize that as unfair generalization, even if they tried to dress it up as “just their experience.” Same thing if someone said they trust women less around kids because women commit a large …

That’s the framing now, but that’s not how it was actually used when it went viral. It wasn’t just “which is scarier in a vacuum.” It turned into a broader claim about men as a group being more dangerous than a wild animal. That’s why it blew up the way it did. Because it stops being about a hypothetical and starts being a statement about men in general. And saying “most men would choose the bear” doesn’t really land the way you think it does. Men understand that a bear is dangerous but it’s a p…

That’s actually a much more reasonable way to frame it and it kind of proves the point people were pushing back on. Nobody is arguing that women should feel totally comfortable around a random man in an isolated environment. Of course there’s going to be caution there.

You’re acting like one side’s generalizations are automatically grounded in reality and the other side’s are inherently invalid, and that’s the exact bias I’m talking about. Plenty of men’s views are based on lived experience too. Dating, rejection patterns, app dynamics, relationship outcomes. Not just “things they heard online.” Writing that off as internet ideology while validating women’s experiences as truth is a double standard. And the “women choose the bear because of lived experience” p…

When people say certain generalizations are “institutionally supported,” what they’re really pointing to is a broader cultural and ideological tilt.

I think part of why I’m pushing on this is the environment these conversations happen in. Reddit tends to skew toward people who are more socially isolated or have struggled in dating, so the default mindset becomes “nobody deserves anything they can’t get.” Over time that flattens expectations down to zero so no one has to feel like they’re falling short. If you look at it through the pill lens, it actually lines up pretty clearly. Blue pill leans idealistic. Good people should get good outcome…

You’re treating any use of “should” as if it automatically means “guaranteed,” and that’s where we’re talking past each other.

That would be true if I was arguing for a guaranteed outcome, but I’m not. There’s a difference between expecting life to deliver you a partner and believing there should be some level of reciprocity in how people pair up.

There’s a difference between saying nobody is entitled to a relationship and acting like it’s unreasonable for people to expect one. No one is owed a specific person, but saying “you don’t deserve anyone” just strips all meaning out of the word deserve entirely.

You’re framing this like it’s a neutral decision, but it’s not. Buying shoes and dating aren’t comparable. If you don’t find pink heels, nothing happens. You lose nothing, you just wait. In dating, time is part of the equation whether you want to acknowledge it or not. It for most women, all it takes is a viral TikTok to want those pink heels like everyone who went completely apeshit over those Stanley cups a couple years ago that were previously just sitting on the shelf collecting dust. Or how…
/r/PurplePillDebate19/03/26 07:55 AM

That analogy actually highlights the issue more than it defends it. It’s not that the store doesn’t have pink heels, it’s that after being exposed to endless curated options online, your standards become so narrow that normal, realistic options don’t even register anymore. So you walk out thinking “nothing was good enough,” when in reality there were plenty of solid options. You’ve just trained yourself to only recognize a very specific, idealized version.

You’re not actually arguing the point. You’re just trying to pivot into personal attacks. Nitpicking “30% vs 40%” doesn’t change anything.

This is honestly an outdated take. “Just go approach women” ignores how much the environment has changed. Yes, bars exist, but people don’t use them the same way anymore.

What’s really driving a lot of these takes isn’t just ‘accepting reality,’ it’s coping and validation.

It lets people resolve frustration or repeated negative outcomes without having to actually examine why those patterns keep happening.

You’re building a picture of men that doesn’t really match how most men actually behave in the dating market. Most men absolutely can have a type, but the key difference is that men tend to have a much wider attraction range. Having preferences isn’t the same thing as only wanting the top slice of women. When people say men “can’t afford to have a type,” what they usually mean is that men generally don’t filter out 80% of the opposite sex the way women statistically tend to on dating apps. A guy…

Normal weight obese is a real medical condition. It comes from not lifting weights or eating adequate protein. There is nothing skewed about that. A BMI of 22 looks a lot different at 20% body fat than it looks at 40% body fat. Any body-fat percentage of 32 or above for women is medically obese regardless of what the scale says.

You’re misunderstanding the point I’m making. I’m not saying every bigger woman or every man behaves the same way.

What they’re consistently complaining about is men constantly fucking them over. Ghosting them after sex, etc. A lot of attractive men see these women as an easy lay. Others still go through with sex after she misrepresented her body on the dating app. Either hid her fat through camera angles, or she only looks good with clothes on.

What part of that is misogyny exactly? The point I’m making isn’t “women bad.” The point is that unrealistic standards exist in modern dating and they get applied unevenly. If someone expects a partner who is fit, disciplined, financially stable, and put together, it’s not unreasonable to ask whether they bring those same qualities themselves. The food analogy was just a way of illustrating expectations versus reality. Wanting filet mignon is fine, but if your budget is Applebee’s then you eithe…

It needs to be in your budget though. A lot of these women want filet mignon on a Applebees budget. And this includes their dating preferences.

You’re missing the point of the analogy. I’m not arguing lobster is unhealthy. I’m saying it’s a luxury food, not a practical staple for most people. Chicken is cheap, versatile, and accessible almost everywhere. Lobster might be cheaper in some coastal places, but for most people it’s still treated like a special occasion meal. The same goes for things like wagyu beef or filet mignon. Technically healthy sources of protein, but they’re expensive and not something people eat daily. Should I use …

Lobster might be healthy, but it’s completely unnecessary unless you’re rolling in extra money. Most people who eat lobster also saturate it in butter anyway. I can use chicken, rice and veggies however in various dishes like stirfry, wraps, salads, fajitas, kabob and shawarma and eat my high protein bodybuilder diet for $60 to $80 a week.

The grocery store analogy actually proves the opposite point to me. It’s not that healthy options are hidden and junk food is everywhere. The healthy option is sitting right there in plain sight. Chicken, rice, and vegetables. The problem is that chicken isn’t glamorous. It doesn’t feel special the way lobster does. So people overlook the simple, reliable option because it seems boring compared to something that feels more exciting or prestigious in the moment. That doesn’t mean the healthy opti…

You’re kind of moving the goalposts here. No one said online dating in 1995 looked like Tinder in 2025.

There’s some truth to the idea that men and women can show different mating preferences on average, but I think the way it’s framed here is a bit too simplified.

Lean mass can absolutely exist in military builds, but the physique you end up with is usually different from someone training specifically for hypertrophy. Military training tends to focus more on endurance, work capacity, and functional strength, whereas strength training for muscle growth focuses on progressive overload and maximizing muscle protein synthesis. Those are different training goals, so the physiques that come from them tend to look different. Military personnel are generally fit …

Quarterbacks rely on more than bodyweight, fitness and cardio though. I would argue that my body is more like that of a quarterback. This comes from a six day PPL strength training routine consisting of free weights and machines and 190g of protein a day you’re not going to get from MRE’s. Military nutrition targets adequacy, not optimization. Military rations and dining facilities are designed to cover the needs of most service members. Daily protein intake often ends up around 90–120 g per day…

I’m not overweight either though. 16% BFP is not overweight. It’s fit/athletic And again. 5’7” is not below average or short. It’s one of the averages used to get mean height. By your logic, 5’10” should be tall because it’s above what you’re calling average. But that’s called short too.

There are people who think a BMI of 26 is fat. Especially when it comes to rating women. And again, 5’7” is not short. If it was, it would be used clinically and not just on social media. A bmi of 26 also doesn’t mean fat. Do I look fat to you? My BMI is 26.6. You just called a 26 BMI fat. My goal weight is actually 181 lbs once my recomp is done which is a bmi of 28.5.

When you have people at many different heights, it’s not really noticeable unless you’re nearly clinically short. We’re talking inches here to the point of picking nits.

That’s not noticeable . I was never considered short before social media. Your definition of short comes from online culture tends to blur the line. So many men lie about their height now and few are even noticing a couple inches. I’d love to see you point out 5’7” from 5’9” on a blank ruler. Short stature is medically defined as below the 3rd percentile (about 5’4” for U.S. men). 5’7” is around the 25th percentile. That’s below average, not clinically short.

It’s not technically “short”. Short stature is defined as below the 3rd percentile. 5’7” falls well within the normal range of height. 5’7” is only short according to online culture. The only reason 5’7” feels ‘short’ is because social media and dating apps have normalized 6’0” as baseline even though only about 15–16% of men are actually 6’0” or taller. Internet short and biologically short are two very different things.

Where did I say I was cruel? I have a lot of obese friends. Your response seems more like deflection after I countered your claim of sexualization while also debunking starvation as being the expectation which is actually very unattractive. Even as an athletic man, fat people accuse me of starvation. Assuming the only way to not be fat is by starving yourself. Even though I eat roughly 2500 calories a day and 170g to 190g of protein.
/r/PurplePillDebate27/02/26 10:59 AM

Why is that always the deflection? Attraction is part of it, yes. But I also prefer my partner to be healthy and physically active. This is something the average sedentary Redditor would never understand. I’m doing a 20 mile hike next month. I expect her to be able to keep up and actually complete it with me. An obese person could never handle it. Or the 10k run I have lined up in May.

It’s called attraction. It’s also health. It’s pontification to hold a woman as accountable as I hold myself? Obesity is not natural as you seem brainwashed by progressive fat acceptance ideology. It’s surprising that this is such a progressive take considering it’s both environmentally unfriendly and supports corporate billionaires.

Umm we never had an obesity epidemic until now. Also nobody decided women needed to starve. Starving makes a woman age like shit just as much as overeating does. You don’t get that sexy “toned” look by starving. That requires calories, protein and resistance training. But hey, anything to use Reddit fetish words like Misogyny. Right? It’s also a way to stroke your own laziness because fitness requires work. Why do crunches and deadlifts when you can hide your fupa and pannus through shapewear.

In my own personal experiences with my son’s mom, my own mom as well as looking at other people’s marriages, a lot of times this seems to be the case. Like women have this chore mo…

House of a man who leaves cleaning on the back burner? Umm no. It’s not an obsession. I’m also very efficient with cooking meaning I don’t have to mess up an entire kitchen to make a meal. And unlike most single moms who have kids as fat as she is, my son isn’t fat. We eat clean and healthy, go to the gym and do all kinds of outdoor activities together. Kind of hard to dirty a house when you’re not there staying fat and sedentary.

This is hard from the man’s perspective too though. But the big difference is, being fit and attractive usually isn’t enough.

Not usually. Usually it’s desperation that sends a man to a prostitute. Whenever I’ve done a pump & dump, there’s never been any power behind it.

The biggest issue is, a lot of women are way over the top when it comes to chores

Men only need to manipulate when they’re unattractive.

If it takes this much effort to look good on a date, she’s ugly in the first place and you’re ultimately paying for a costume. I mean the girl in the video literally looks like a clown. At least my dating costs actually make me naturally attractive.

Cool to women by dumping on Red Pill? I wouldn’t let a woman know I know Red Pill even exists as admitting to even coming to these subs is a good way not to get laid. Your whole ideology comes from a 90’s radio shock jock that was rebranded and sold to young incels. Dating app statistics are also incredibly flawed.

It argue that blue eyed people have the least troubles finding someone attracted to them. Blue eyes are a very attractive trait to have. As someone with very bad vision problems, I still wouldn’t give up my blue eyes for 20/20 vision.

In sickness and in health means exactly that though. But lemme guess. If your wife got sick, you’d stay. If that’s the case, the love is one sided.

So marriage vows are BS then.

Is survival really tied to luxury though? And what if it’s the materialistic person who gets ill? Should they be content with their partner potentially leaving them? I guess from a survival standpoint, I see materialism as a huge red flag as life can change in an instance. Would that person love you enough to stay without the finer things in life?

Some people can be very nice when everything is going their way. But as a cancer survivor who saw a fairly good life swept from underneath me, other colors can show. I have the looks. I’ve had some of the success. But I’ve learned that people with rigid standards will abandon you fast in a time of need as the lifestyle is much more important.

I’m not injecting anything. I’m showing how tastes age and mature while people like you want to create the illusion that older women only settle because thats what your Red Pill propaganda teaches you. Women are so ignorant about height that a large number of men lie about it and get away with it. Again. When I was young, I never had an issue finding women and nobody ever mentioned 6’0” as any kind of standard. That came with social media. But by your logic, I should have been a virgin for a ver…

No. Not start to settle. Most women don’t even know what 6’0” is. Young women reject guys under 6’0” for the same reason why they reject guys with a green text bubble. Further more, I had literally zero trouble dating plenty of women before this 6’0” standard ever even started. You also deflect with the “dad bod” thing when that’s not even all of us. I train in the gym, 6 days a week and have a really nice body. Gym gains actually get you a better physique when you’re average height due to muscl…

There’s a reason why I get laid and red pill people don’t.
/r/PurplePillDebate13/01/26 05:53 PM

That’s not what’s being claimed. Physical attractiveness is no longer about a minimum height that starts with 6 which they could never point out on a blank ruler. Aging men also have attractive qualities that younger men don’t. They no longer want the guy dressed like a fuckboy. I wear my salt & pepper scruff beard because it gets me pussy.

That’s BS. People’s tastes mature.

There’s no avoidance. You’re obviously trying to defend makeup. You don’t care to dispute my points which were a direct response to your comments. Ugly is ugly. Makeup can mask that, but it doesn’t change it. We don’t want ugly.

We prefer women who look better naturally. There is no yes or no here. Not trying to wake up next to someone who looks unattractive in the morning. Or unattractive if we go hiking or swimming all day, camping for the weekend, etc. Most men do not want a costume. This is why a lot of women ended up ghosted after sex. Because you don’t look the same way you looked the night before.

You said we prefer makeup. We do not.

We don’t actually prefer makeup though. We prefer a woman looks good without it.

Makeup is bad when used as a costume though. It’s very deceptive.

We actually prefer women who don’t need makeup to look great. Especially those of us who aren’t sedentary and enjoy doing things where makeup wouldn’t really be an option.

I don’t know any women under 60 who watch that. The core audience is over 50.

I don’t know anyone who watches soaps. Especially if you work considering soaps air during the day. Soaps were mostly the boomer generation.
/r/PurplePillDebate12/01/26 04:45 PM

Women are boring to you because you’re not interesting enough to ones who aren’t. Who in the fuck still even watches soaps? It’s not the 1980’s. You need more masculine hobbies.
/r/PurplePillDebate12/01/26 04:42 PM

So in other words, you’re boring. You’re also still regularly exposed to the propaganda content which is most likely why you’re pilled in the first place.

Speed running motherhood and marriage? Sorry but that’s not my experience. And maybe you would rather talk about YouTube but that’s not most people. The fact that you’re that social media obsessed kinda proves my point. Your main hobbies consist of propaganda machines.

It’s not a compromise. It’s about finding other things much more attractive. When I was 25, I didn’t find 45 year old women attractive at all. Now I’m like “holy shit”. Then you have to consider what is more practical rather than a one trick pony.
/r/PurplePillDebate12/01/26 04:06 PM

How is it settling? As you get older, you start finding older people much more attractive. Beauty isn’t just about a 10/10 body. I’ve even rejected younger women in favor of older ones. This sub is so unhealthy. When I see a woman in her early 20’s now, I basically see a child.
/r/PurplePillDebate12/01/26 03:57 PM

If you think it’s settling, you have a lot of growing up to do. I’m going to assume you’re young and easily sucked into these dumb ideologies.
/r/PurplePillDebate12/01/26 03:53 PM

What you find most attractive and what you actively go for are very different things. As people age, there’s a level of maturity men are looking for, mutual interests, etc. As you age, you also start finding older people much more attractive than you did at 25.

Where does this really happen outside of this sub? Unlike the real world, this place is obsessed with youth like every man is thriving to be like Leonardo DiCaprio or some other celebrity with women a third his age. Men do have more success as they age but only because as you age, women in your age group become less superficial. Young men do have real gripes with standards from the opposite sex. It’s worse now than ever because of how bad social media has enforced and even amplified these standa…

I’m implying that’s when sexual development starts. That’s what puberty is. For the vast majority of us, we are attracted to people right around our own age. But this is when it starts. So you’re either incredibly stupid or you’re just being a stupid troll.

You’re either a troll or incredibly ignorant. So when I was first attracted to girls when I was 12 years old, it’s because I was a pedophile?

It’s an entirely different kind of signaling.
/r/PurplePillDebate11/01/26 01:35 AM

I explained biology to you. Evolutionary biologists conclude breasts evolved to provide a continuous visual fertility signal and maintain male sexual interest outside ovulation. This is because unlike other primates, humans have concealed ovulation and don’t show obvious heat cycles. In most other mammals:, mammary glands enlarge only during nursing. Outside lactation, they’re flat and nonsexual. Human breasts on the other hand remain enlarged year-round even when not pregnant or nursing. Neuros…

You’re a moron. Please don’t reproduce. The world doesn’t need you passing out your extra chromosome
/r/PurplePillDebate11/01/26 12:52 AM

Why don’t you do some actual research? Your ignorance is showing. Female breasts develop at puberty, are driven by estrogen and signal sexual maturity and fertility. Male chests do not rsignal any kind of fertility or reproductive status. That alone puts breasts in a different biological category. This is sexual selection, not social conditioning which is why I called you a fedora tipper.

How is biology creepy? Tip your fedora some more.

Female breasts are sexual biologically as it triggers fertility. The male chest is not.

A lot of people are. You have both these manosphere and girl boss types who both seem to think a relationship or marriage always comes down to money and resources. Meanwhile there are women who don’t care about any of that.

So where are the abundance of resources in non affluent areas? People still get married. Even I have women wanting to date and marry me without a single bit of wealth or resources. These Reddit echo chambers are just dumb and the opinions here come from people who google the worldview they are after and have little to no real life experiences. I’m almost convinced that half of PPD women consists of white knight neckbeards fulfilling their woman fantasies through role play. I mean any woman I kno…
