| – | If You Struggle Online, Nightlife Will NOT Save You (bartender of 3 years)If a guy or girl is below average on dating apps/pics then theyll most likely be average in person.. at best. Its funny you think these people go from ugly weird creep to suddenly turn into giga chad or giga stacy in person. Seems like youre one of the guys who dont do well on apps/pics and are projecting | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/07/26 07:59 PM |
| – | If You Struggle Online, Nightlife Will NOT Save You (bartender of 3 years)Bro what. All women are instagram and get validation from that. Online validation is far from just dating apps. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/07/26 07:48 PM |
| – | If You Struggle Online, Nightlife Will NOT Save You (bartender of 3 years)Hes saying their in person behavior and standards would quickly change if you removed the online validation. I think thats the core issue. If you took that away, theyd be far less likely to shrug off the in person validation, it would be worth more. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/07/26 07:37 PM |

I like being single and meeting new girls. My pics arent anything special and im not a model.

| 1 | One of the worst pieces of dating advice men get is "forget the apps, just talk to women in person"The highest quality/hottest women use their social circle PLUS vet guys on dating apps/IG these days.. then they agree to a 1v1 date with select way.

| 1 | One of the worst pieces of dating advice men get is "forget the apps, just talk to women in person"I dont think anyone disagrees with any of that. But you went on a tangent and none of that is related to the op. The ROI for men will be better on apps than in person for the average joe. Obviously you cant be desperate for either | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/07/26 07:49 AM |
| 2 | One of the worst pieces of dating advice men get is "forget the apps, just talk to women in person"That doesn't make much sense to me. Why would a decent man with options intentionally shrink his dating pool from thousands of women online to a tiny amount just becuase they have a mutual friend or go to the same gym, or sports club, etc.. then spend months building friendships hoping one of them eventually develops feelings.

| 2 | One of the worst pieces of dating advice men get is "forget the apps, just talk to women in person"This is true but my only disagreement is youre overestimating those "other qualities".

| 1 | One of the worst pieces of dating advice men get is "forget the apps, just talk to women in person"Bro what. If you chat with someone from an app then meet them at bar for 1v1 date how is that 'scary"? Your logic seems a little off. Also most guys don't have the time to sit around being friends for weeks with different women in hopes of dating them in the future. Talk about scary and weird. I honestly cant fathom how you think that would be a viable dating strategy for anyone? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/07/26 07:21 AM |
| 0 | One of the worst pieces of dating advice men get is "forget the apps, just talk to women in person"Actually most couples meet online as of 2021. Its like 61% now who meet online according to alot of stats. Also the rejection rate for most guys will be worse or at best equal to whatever they experience online. That was kinda my point | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/07/26 07:17 AM |

| 2 | One of the worst pieces of dating advice men get is "forget the apps, just talk to women in person"For sure but the chances a guy has an extraordinary personality enough to catch your attention and pick you up and take you home is lower than the chances he can secure a 1v1 date off the app. That's kinda my whole point. Those personality skills are very rare | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/07/26 07:10 AM |

For the average guy, the ROI with online dating will be far greater than what they would achieve in person.. This isn't the 1950s anymore. Most people work remote. Most relationships used to start at eork so that declined while online relationships skyrockets according to the data.

| 2 | The idea that "most men on dating apps are trash and don't want commitment" is egregious inaccurateNot the point i was making is the ugly/average guy is more likely to want to settle down and eager to lock down a girl since he has no other options.

| 6 | People aren’t afraid of commitment in 2026, they’re afraid of bad commitmentBecuase a "Great guy or girl" is extremely subjective unless youre going by paper metrics. Not sure why you made this a male issue? Id argue just as many women are reluctant to commit and prefer to keep their options open too and extending being single into their 30s by choice, no? Id also argue its a better and more viable strategy for men to continue the search until they are absolutely certain given the biological time constraints. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/03/26 11:38 AM |

Women love to cope and pretend they will be one of the few 40 year old who can realistically pass for 25. Its a pipe dream because they know deep down the youthful appearance of 20yo is something men of ALL ages biologically crave and something they cant compete with. They then try to shame and manipulate men into feeling guilty (which obviously doesnt work on strong men).

When did I ever once mention "dark and extremely loud nightclubs" lol You do realize there's a large medium of night life venues that include classy nicely lit bars/venues with swaths of attractive people... and yes those are going to be far better for dating options than your local chess club or other day time hobby group that most of reddit encourages people to meet each other. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/02/26 08:10 PM |
| 2 | CMV: “Join Hobbies” and “Expand Your Social Circle” Are very low-ROI Dating Strategies for Most Average MenFirst of all I have a pretty good thing going with a girl i met on the apps and have a good group of friends so lets not make this personal. I also do quite well on the apps and have no problem attracting girls irl. Regardless im talking about average guy/men in general. My hobbies are pretty standard sure. Can you tell us about your extensive list of hobbies? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/02/26 08:06 PM |
| 11 | CMV: “Join Hobbies” and “Expand Your Social Circle” Are very low-ROI Dating Strategies for Most Average MenWe're talking about ROI with regards to dating.. not making friends. Lets not twist the original argument | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/02/26 08:02 PM |

| 1 | CMV: “Join Hobbies” and “Expand Your Social Circle” Are very low-ROI Dating Strategies for Most Average MenLol what. Most bars/night life venue have far better ratios and ROIs than nearly all social clubs and its not even close | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/02/26 08:01 PM |
| 3 | CMV: “Join Hobbies” and “Expand Your Social Circle” Are very low-ROI Dating Strategies for Most Average MenThat doesnt negate my point about hobbies/social clubs being low ROI/low volume environments for meeting people (for both men and women) You can have extensive list of hobbies and meet people elsewhere.. no ones arguing against having hobbies | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/02/26 07:59 PM |
| 1 | CMV: “Join Hobbies” and “Expand Your Social Circle” Are very low-ROI Dating Strategies for Most Average MenPretty decent but most my friends live in apartments. I live in a big city and parties just arent allowed. Nearly everyone goes out to bars/venues to socialize which jinda changes the dynamic. I agree though house parties can actually be effective. In my earlier years I went to many and did get alot of dates from them. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/02/26 07:56 PM |

| 5 | CMV: “Join Hobbies” and “Expand Your Social Circle” Are very low-ROI Dating Strategies for Most Average MenYeah for sure but you dont need a big group of acquaintances to go out and social you can do it alone and make friends in the process But for the average guy, the volume and ROI still wont be there. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/02/26 07:52 PM |
| – | CMV: “Join Hobbies” and “Expand Your Social Circle” Are very low-ROI Dating Strategies for Most Average MenThe use of the word "if" doesnt negate any argument ive made.

| 1 | CMV: “Join Hobbies” and “Expand Your Social Circle” Are very low-ROI Dating Strategies for Most Average MenYeah our society is very quick paced though, most people (men and women) dont give relationships time to flourish like they used to.

| 7 | CMV: “Join Hobbies” and “Expand Your Social Circle” Are very low-ROI Dating Strategies for Most Average Menmost women arent doing the same hobbies as men.

Its far less important | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/02/26 07:22 PM |
| 1 | CMV: “Join Hobbies” and “Expand Your Social Circle” Are very low-ROI Dating Strategies for Most Average MenYou just made a strawman.

| 1 | Online dating is “broken” but somehow millions of people are dating 🤔Excellent point. In reality in person bars/clubs only beneficial if you can mog others around you which 95% cant. Its a known rule that you can't appear with people taller or better looking than in dating app pics. Why would it be any different in person? In person only benefits tall or kinda ugly/average guys or guys with top 1% humor/rizz. Online dating benefits everyone else. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/02/26 04:17 AM |

TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, Amazon. Showing everyone the full catalog would destroy usability. Filtering by likelihood of mutual interest is optimization, not manipulation. If apps show you to people with “similar demand levels,” that’s not suppressing you, that’s preventing massive mismatch (e.g., profiles with 10,000 likes being spammed by everyone). It’s efficiency.

| -2 | Online dating is “broken” but somehow millions of people are dating 🤔So untrue. Theres no way for apps to know someone is a casual dster or just has high standards and takes longer to find "the one". | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/02/26 03:34 AM |
| 1 | Online dating is “broken” but somehow millions of people are dating 🤔You could make the same argument for why online dating works. Youre able to meet people you wouldnt have otherwise. You could meet your future husband just as easily from the apps as you could from some bar or club or in person event.. Id even argue online dating lets you know more about someone thus increasing attraction. Im able to show off my cool lifestyle in my pics whereas in person I wouldn't have that ability. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/02/26 03:30 AM |
| 1 | Online dating is “broken” but somehow millions of people are dating 🤔Thays an internal issue of your standards being too high and not wanting to commit to one of those fwbs. Youre treating it like a casino always wanting more. Im guilty of it too but I can recognize whats actually going on. Not an app issue | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/02/26 03:19 AM |

| 2 | Online dating is “broken” but somehow millions of people are dating 🤔This doesnt make sense. They arent two separate things Online dating just helps you connect with more people in person and screen them first. Its a filter, not an alternative way of meeting | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/02/26 02:56 AM |
| 0 | Online dating is “broken” but somehow millions of people are dating 🤔Right that isn't that common anymore. Also the ROI is poor compared to online dating apps. Chances of you meeting a quality partner at work is far lower than on an app just by the sheer metric of volume | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/02/26 02:36 AM |
| 3 | Online dating is “broken” but somehow millions of people are dating 🤔I worked at a bar/nightlife venue years. People just as quickly and harshly in night life venues as they do online. The only benefit is you have more chances to shoot your shot as a guy that yoh wouldnt have had otherwise although most guys will still get rejected regardless | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/02/26 02:35 AM |
| 0 | Online dating is “broken” but somehow millions of people are dating 🤔Yea its important too. You can use dating apps to talk to women and improve your social skills as a byproduct of online dating. Not sure what your point is exactly. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/02/26 02:33 AM |
| 3 | Online dating is “broken” but somehow millions of people are dating 🤔No they dont. I worked at a bar/nightlife venue for years. People judge just as quick in person as they do on the apps. The only exception is if you work with someone for extended periods of time but that is becoming less and less common. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/02/26 02:31 AM |

| 3 | Online dating is “broken” but somehow millions of people are dating 🤔That question is illogical. Dating apps are a quick initial vessel to meet people in real life. There arent two seperate things | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/02/26 02:26 AM |
| -2 | Online dating is “broken” but somehow millions of people are dating 🤔Right. They have to becuase of the ratio imbalances. Its not rational or logical to think everyone can get equal ad space. You need to be a popular user or pay. Obviously | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/02/26 02:24 AM |
| 0 | Online dating is “broken” but somehow millions of people are dating 🤔You’re holding dating apps to a standard they were never designed to meet. They’re tools for meeting people.. not state-run institutions tasked with optimizing national monogamy rates. Marriage rates were declining before apps went mainstream. Urbanization, delayed careers, female economic independence, housing costs. those are macro forces. Blaming apps is lazy causation. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/02/26 02:08 AM |
| -15 | Online dating is “broken” but somehow millions of people are dating 🤔Horrible analogy. Casinos fix probabilities and you are playing against them. Dating apps: Don’t control your photos Don’t control your physical attractiveness Don’t control your messaging ability Don’t control supply/demand ratios They surface profiles. The marketplace (users) decides. If outcomes are uneven, that’s more like a job market than a casino. Some resumes get flooded. Some don’t. That doesn’t mean LinkedIn is “rigged.”.

| 2 | Ladies, be honest: is a guy wearing apple watch/smart watch a turn off on a first dates?All true. I think were at a weird point is society where we are transitioning away from antiquated norms for the sake of appearing proper (ex nice watch) I think it's for the best however there will always be some people out there that connect a nice watch with sophistication | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/02/26 10:49 AM |
| – | Ladies, be honest: is a guy wearing apple watch/smart watch a turn off on a first dates?Just to clarify, I implied her lack of critical thinking stemmed from her not totally understanding why I asked the question and insinuating I was 'overthinking'.

If a nice shirt/outfit can elevate a man's perceived attractiveness on a first date, why couldnt a nice watch have a similar effect? (I mean this question genuinely) | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/02/26 09:11 AM |
| 0 | Ladies, be honest: is a guy wearing apple watch/smart watch a turn off on a first dates?I've heard some women say smart watch can "ruin" an outfit or be seen as less sophisticated/too obsessed with tech. Ive heard others say they like it as they view it as a guy who interested in their health/improvement. Its split about 50/50 so its an interesting topic of discussion | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/02/26 09:06 AM |
| – | Ladies, be honest: is a guy wearing apple watch/smart watch a turn off on a first dates?Nothing wrong with you not considering it however you trying to tell me im "overthinking" it tells me you arent a critcal thinker. You assume my curiosity stems from insecurity or something when in reality its simple a fun question to get opinions on. the bigger question is if modern women still find traditional watches to be an elegant and sophisticated accessory for a guy to wear in 2026 or if this is becoming an antiquated flex. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/02/26 09:04 AM |
| – | The big disconnect in modern dating: ending the first date strong vs. going for the same-night hookupExcellent post and very insightful. A huge number of women talk about "hard rules" and values around sex, but change their tune very quickly when strong attraction is present. Its is exactly why so many men stopped believing their lies and figured out that delayed sex = lower attraction. Once boundaries are situational, they’re not boundaries anymore, they’re filters.. Women know it too and its a big lie they perpetuate to the decreasing number of blue pill men fall for. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/01/26 12:17 PM |

| 1 | Online game is 100x better ROI than walking around cold approachingYour theory is a bizarre cope you and other unsuccessful guys have manufactured in your heads. Attractive men use apps to date, sleep with, and even build relationships with high-quality women all the time. I have many freinds(men and women) who are in great/successful relationships with high quality people theyve met from online Saying 'apps are just for smashing hoes' is another cope layered on top.. guys say that when they can't perform on them. | /r/seduction | 20/11/25 11:31 PM |

Then on dates I wear 2-inch lifts. Online, women see the best version of me - strong beach photos, great physique, good lighting, lifestyle shots, cooking, travel, solid texting.

| 1 | Online game is 100x better ROI than walking around cold approachingI get your point about in-person giving you tone, vibe, confidence, etc. But that doesn't contradict anything I'm saying. it just highlights that online is a presentation skill. Some guys can bait a girl in with strong photos, good framing, and a clean profile.

Of course people who are good at cold approach prefer cold approach. people gravitate to what they're already good at. But that doesn't make it more efficient. Realistically: Cold approach = high skill, high effort, low scale Online = low effort, scalable, leverage-based In one hour online, I can line up 5-10 dates with ~80% close/hookup rate.

| 2 | Online game is 100x better ROI than walking around cold approachingTrue, not all women are on dating apps but the ones who aren't still behave like they are. Their standards are still shaped by the constant validation and options they get from IG, TikTok, Snapchat, social circles, nightlife, and DMs. The behavioral effect is the same: abundance = pickiness. So even meeting her IRL doesn't remove you from competing with her full option pool.

| 1 | Online game is 100x better ROI than walking around cold approachingYou're kinda proving my point here Cold approach only feels 'important' to you because your online presence isn't cultivated. If your photos, style, and digital presentation are weak, then of course you're relegated to IRL cold approach only, because you can't compete where everyone else is. If you don't stand out online, you're not suddenly a different man when you walk up to her. You're bringing the same weaknesses into a harder environment where you get one shot and zero context.
