| – | One good thing about dating in 2025 is that the red pill idea of faking it until you make it simply doesn’t work anymore. Women want authentically attractive men.I think if you are at a party for instance, and are attracted to a girl, in this day and age she just has to be attracted to you from the get go in order for anything to happen. If you do cocky and funny, leave her wanting more, groom and work out, text her sparingly and act like you're high value and always busy, it's absolutely ineffective in comparison to the guy she simply just WANTS. You can totally ignore her and never initiate contact and she'll still make it very easy for you if you're t… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/06/25 03:07 PM |
| 1 | How do RedPillers explain the situations where a man is neither a peak physical specimen/hot, rich and successful etc. but still has success in dating and casual sex?I thought this was more of a black pill belief than a redpill belief | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/06/25 07:48 PM |
| 2 | Historically, the average dude likely never found academics easySure. this makes sense. Tangentially, I've never been the BEST looking guy, but I'm often the best looking guy in a room full of smart people. Which, apropos this group, has really helped me find quite a bit of dating success. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/06/25 07:47 PM |
| 1 | 30s are perhaps the worst years to date (as a man)Hard disagree. By your early 30s, you should have reached your potential. Steady job, house, car, etc. You are settled into your sense of style, you are nailing your grooming, and your fitness is not yet deteriorating. 28-35 is the easiest time to pull 23-30 year old women, who are now post college immaturity, looking for real relationships, and judging men on more than just looks. If you've stayed on track and hit some level of success, this is the easiest time. Before that, you mostly have to … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/06/25 05:05 PM |
| 3 | It's not mysogynist for guys to tell their gf not to wear revealing clothes or not being comfortable with her going to clubs with her girlfriends.Does it literally meet the definition of misogyny, without more information or context? No. It could be religious conservatism or whatever. Is there a correlation between such behavior and misogyny? Yes. In most cases, is it an insecure man wishing to exert control? Also, yes. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/05/25 07:29 PM |
| – | The "orgasm gap" is primarily due to women behaving passively and lacking initiative during sex. Women expect men to take full responsibility for both of their orgasms and usually do nothing to help themselves climax.There's cowgirl, but when I think about all of the times I've had sex, cowgirl where the woman is on-top, upright and bouncing like an Amazon is a rarity. I don't think most real world women are very comfortable in this position. Typically, if the woman is on-top, she is almost fully laying on the man in a sort of inverted missionary position (where he is expected to thrust). There are also blowjobs, but once again blowing a guy to completion is a rarity, because women generally dislike getting … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/05/25 02:02 AM |

| 1 | How many people here are happily married/in longterm relationships? If so, what is your perspective on the common themes and posts in this sub?I think so. I find the best way to form and sharpen your ideas is by having them challenged. When you're in the thick of it, it's easy to miss things. People with an outside perspective can point out what you missed, or provide other explanations for what you are incorrectly attributing. It's important to listen and discuss, to come up with better ways to do things or develop new experiments to control for different variables | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/05/25 12:36 AM |

If so, what is your perspective on the common themes and posts in this sub?That's true, and attention seeking can sometimes appear more attractive (showing more skin, for instance).

If so, what is your perspective on the common themes and posts in this sub?I was not the coolest guy at many times in my life, and I wasn't necessarily invited anywhere. So I threw parties myself, or extended the invite myself. What I've found is that many people are not the type to take initiative. Few people are. So, if you make the effort, you become one of the few. And when you invite people to things. They extend invitations back. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/05/25 05:56 PM |

If so, what is your perspective on the common themes and posts in this sub?Well, I'm not allowed to ask questioned directed at men in this sub, because I am a man (I think that rule is counterproductive).

Two responses: I find it interesting how many of the men here create their own problems by listening to internet charlatans, taking social media as an authority on human interactions, and obsessing over dick size.

| 2 | The Market Value metaphor breaks down because products you buy don’t choose you back.I think it's more similar to the job market, with regard to interviews and how desirable candidates are just as selective about the employer as the employer is about the candidate.

| 0 | Male sexuality prevents men from being suitable life partnersI feel like the easier way to study this is to conduct research into what porn stars inidivduals prefer, and then compare the age of the consumer to the age of the actress. Porn should be the best gauge of preference, because men don't have to account for rejection, etc. I can find statistics for average age of porn stars, but I cannot actually find information regarding studies that compare the age fo the viewer to the age of the preferred actresses | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/05/25 04:34 PM |

Sometimes that's just being a natural leader or winner (like the high school quarterback's primary goal is not necessarily dating, but it still works to attract).

I mean, yeah, not all men...

But until my early 30s, i was a big drinker, so that helped. I actually found it easier to hit on women on slow nights, not Friday or Saturday.

I suspect I've approached women i didn't know or barely knew well over 100 times in my life. I'm trying to decide if it might be 200.

At the end of the day it depends on the woman and it depends on the relationship she's in. Not all women but let's be honest, it's many women. Speaking from experience as that guy, there are a lot of women who can be picked off, and it's easier if it's a boyfriend instead of a husband.

But to the extent she doesn't now, i imagine it's more because she doesn't need to since we have sex as often as 5x a week.

| 10 | Women wield a ton of access to sex. But, it's pointless to argue about it.So, I think this reflects the fact that men and women often have very different goals in life, and they project their own goals onto others.

| 1 | Men and Women should have higher standardI don't personally see a big difference between the two. They exist on a progression for me. Until you get married anyway, you should still be dating the person and looking for red flags. It might be committed and exclusive, but not like you ever stop looking for red flags | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/02/25 07:19 PM |
| 1 | Men and Women should have higher standardMost of the time, you can’t tell if someone is not worth dating until you actually date them. Obviously, there will be people who are less attractive than your standards. I’m not talking about that.

| 1 | Simple clarification about the "choose better" and the "lowering of standards".Fair. I guess, when I think about it, it doesn't even need to be a conversation. My emphasis is on self-reflection and acting with intention. I guess this is influenced by the fact that I've been with girls who wanted more from me than I wanted from them, and I've avoided that conversation.

Basically, I think you have to date purposefully and act with intention (in all things in life, not just dating).

| – | Men, stop whining about women not wanting to passionately f*ck youI literally ooze confidence. My wife often needs to be reminded that it's okay to be assertive, to be proud, and to not apologize all the time. I've got two young daughters now (5&6) and I'm constantly trying to instill in them the value of confidence. A lot of it isn't even societal, it's just innate. One of them takes after me. She's naturally effusive and everyone loves her. The other is so worried about trying and failing, and I can see it holding her back.

| 1 | Simple clarification about the "choose better" and the "lowering of standards".The only thing I'll add is that "choose better" can also mean or imply: "take more time choosing." I say this, because sometimes women rush into things and aren't discerning at all (or enough). It's not even about prioritizing. It's just ignoring or not taking the time to notice and filter for red flags. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/02/25 08:35 PM |

I've found it easier and more effective to just start a relationship with sexual attraction, and then see if there are commonalities from there. Very rarely am I platonic friends with a woman I am attracted to. If I'm attracted to her (and I'm single), I'm probably making a move.

| 0 | Men becoming even better, as women suggest, won't solve muchI strongly disagree. I've made a few posts about this, and my general sense is that people (men and women) have an arbitrary minimum standard for what they want (absolute value) that is influenced largely by the media and other sources. Few people have the ability to accurately gauge whether someone is in the upper 20% for their gender (relative value). So, when obseity rate increases, less people will meet the minimum standard of beauty. And if 50% of the population suddenly becomes good-lookin… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/12/24 05:42 PM |

| – | Men's advantages vs women's advantagesI agree except I don't want to generalize and say women are delusional about the above. I think a great many women, including my wife, recognize that finding a quality partner is not easy for them; that while they have many prospects, most are low value and not even worth considering.

| 4 | Benevolent sexism is more attractive to a lot of women than hostile sexism.Respect: I believe no means no, and anyone good with women can tell when a woman is not into it, and you should stop. I want a woman to enthusiastically worship me. If they're not into it, I'm moving on. I don't need to get with all women. I want women who love sex as much as me.

But I learned not to get hung up on it. If I was at a party and I tried something on a girl and she didn’t respond well, I moved onto the next girl.

| 6 | Benevolent sexism is more attractive to a lot of women than hostile sexism.Yes. To be clear, I believe in respect. I'm not even coming close to suggesting that women should be raped or forced. I've just realized that many women WANT to be swept off their feet. They like to feel not-in-control. My wife loves sex. She does not like to initiate. Why? Because it turns her on much more when I take the initiative and make her feel sexy and wanted and vulnerable. She LOVES the fact that I can pick her up and carry her around during sex. She loves to be reminded that her body … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/10/24 09:03 PM |
| 9 | Benevolent sexism is more attractive to a lot of women than hostile sexism.I graduated high school in 2004, which is the year BEFORE "The Game" was published. There were versions of it out there and online but it wasn't widespread. We were all figuring out PUA tactics and learning things from the internet then.

I'm 38. I started off pretty naive about dating, thinking girls liked poems and flowers and professions of deep undying love.

| 3 | There’s nothing wrong with high standards.I think sex is a legitimate social need that must be addressed, no different than treatment for mental health. Failure to acknowledge or address it in either case can be dangerous. And masturbation is simply not enough for most people.

Obviously, this advice doesn't apply to everyone but it works for me, especially because I'm always at networking events and business seminars.

| 7 | Men of reddit would you have a problem if your girlfriend was a Cuckquean?Yeah, the sex is fine, but the humiliation makes me uncomfortable | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/09/24 09:17 PM |
| 3 | Men of reddit would you have a problem if your girlfriend was a Cuckquean?No, but it's less fun than her participating. But whatever gets her off. We swing. I speak from experience. She says it's hot to watch me fuck other girls | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/09/24 09:16 PM |
| 1 | I think the number 1 cause of the loneliness epidemic in America is obesity or the health/fitness crisisGood for you! | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/09/24 11:10 PM |
| 1 | I think the number 1 cause of the loneliness epidemic in America is obesity or the health/fitness crisisI'm married. I meant I wasn't referring to settling down when talking about this subject. But i was thinking about my life before marriage, and the fact that it was sex first, then see how we get along starting the morning after | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/09/24 11:09 PM |
| 1 | I think the number 1 cause of the loneliness epidemic in America is obesity or the health/fitness crisisWhat are the numbers like in Europe? Are they as bad as in the US? That would be good evidence against my post. I haven't looked up those numbers | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/09/24 03:40 PM |
| 1 | I think the number 1 cause of the loneliness epidemic in America is obesity or the health/fitness crisisSo, you say you're fit, but you aren't attracting women. What do you do to meet women such that you know you aren't attracting them? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/09/24 03:39 PM |
| 1 | I think the number 1 cause of the loneliness epidemic in America is obesity or the health/fitness crisisI agree that that happens, too. But I think these things feed each other. Also, a lot of people are fat before high school, and stay that way forever. I don't think there are many women who get fat to desexualize themselves. Most women - the overwhelming majority - wish they were more attractive. Most single women - the overwhelming majority - want to date. I'm not saying they'll settle for anyone. Just that they want to meet someone amazing that checks off all their boxes. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/09/24 03:38 PM |
| 2 | I think the number 1 cause of the loneliness epidemic in America is obesity or the health/fitness crisisYeah, I can see that, and I think being attractive from 18-35 is the most important time. If you are in the city, 35 is more the cutoff, but I hear ya. I just think of dating as a numbers game, and the more attractive you are, the more chances you have to roll the dice | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/09/24 03:35 PM |
| 1 | I think the number 1 cause of the loneliness epidemic in America is obesity or the health/fitness crisisI'm not really concerned about settling down. I'm really talking about meeting other people in the first place, starting a conversation, going out on that first date. I believe that too many people aren't even getting past that step. Maybe I'm projecting my own values, but I believe the first month of a relationship often progresses based on nothing more than attraction and chemistry. And I believe that many people are willing to overlook other flaws, when attraction is high. Just look at trophy… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/09/24 03:32 PM |
| 1 | I think the number 1 cause of the loneliness epidemic in America is obesity or the health/fitness crisisInteresting. Why do you think that is? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/09/24 03:22 PM |
| 2 | I think the number 1 cause of the loneliness epidemic in America is obesity or the health/fitness crisisI'm sure some are. But I'm also sure not all are. 🤷🏻♂️ Plus, there's just less options all around at that point | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/09/24 02:17 AM |
| 1 | I think the number 1 cause of the loneliness epidemic in America is obesity or the health/fitness crisisPlease elaborate. I'm genuinely interested | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/09/24 01:15 AM |
| 2 | I think the number 1 cause of the loneliness epidemic in America is obesity or the health/fitness crisisI think your last sentence is important. What fraction of fat people are willing to pair up with other fat people? How many would rather be alone than with someone they're not attracted to? I don't know the answer | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/09/24 01:14 AM |
| 3 | I think the number 1 cause of the loneliness epidemic in America is obesity or the health/fitness crisisThis would be a moot point if most people were always in shape. Then there's none of that mentality | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/09/24 01:11 AM |
| 1 | Just like #badboy fantasy is a fixation for (some) women, it has it's equivalent among (some) men: The hot, damaged/dangerous woman who is a livewire, mercurial, neurotic but also very pretty.Ignoring the "crazy means crazy in bed" part for one second. A lot of times, women who live dangerously and are "livewire, mercurial, neurotic" are also initially fun, outgoing, spontaneous, and exciting. So, viewing it from that lens, a lot of these women are desired at first because it's not clear the extent of their crazy. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/09/24 07:02 PM |

| 1 | Just like #badboy fantasy is a fixation for (some) women, it has it's equivalent among (some) men: The hot, damaged/dangerous woman who is a livewire, mercurial, neurotic but also very pretty.My ex was this, and I knew she was toxic and terrible - but I also kept coming back for the sex. The really good, whatever-dirty-thing-i-wanted sex. We were on-and-off for three years. I literally had a female friend say to me "We all know there's only one reason you're still with her." Word of advice for others: Yeah, the sex was good, but, ultimately, it wasn't worth it. There are sane women who are great in bed, too. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/09/24 06:48 PM |
| – | Only Chads and high tier men get clingy gfs.Disagree. Any girl can be clingy, so any guy who is able to sufficiently land a girl can end up with a clingy girl. A girl is more likely to be clingy if there is a value discrepancy - but one of the things that can lower her value IS the fact that she's clingy. Another big factor is that a girl will be more clingy if she has invested more (time, energy, etc) into the guy. So, two 3s can be together and the girl can still easily be clingy | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/08/24 04:34 PM |
| 7 | CMV: Having no friends is NOT a red flag, especially in the modern dayI think there's more to being relationship material than being a decent human being. You have to be able to make human connections with others. You have to be able to offer something intellectually, romatically, possibly physically. Some people just can't do that. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/08/24 06:05 PM |
| 1 | CMV: Having no friends is NOT a red flag, especially in the modern dayI'm not saying people don't deserve some things. Like in your example: I agree with the sentiment that all people deserve to be treated with respect until they show you they are not worthy of respect. I agree people deserve safety, food, shelter, not to be discriminated against based on race, etc. But i stand by my statement that "deserves an amazing wife" is a weird and incorrect thing to say. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/08/24 05:57 PM |
| 8 | CMV: Having no friends is NOT a red flag, especially in the modern dayWhy does he "deserve an amazing wife?" No one deserves an amazing wife. No one deserves an amazing husband. I'm of the opinion that many, many people these days just aren't cut out for marriage or relationships. People don't deserve to be in relationships. That said, I don't disagree with the sentiment in your title. While I would never PERSONALLY want to be with someone with no friends - and I think most of society would agree - introverts often do best with other introverts. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/08/24 04:45 PM |
| 1 | hook ups, fwb and long term dating...Yikes. Take care of yourself. Also, not your fault. The original post isn't that clear either | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/08/24 07:06 PM |
| 1 | hook ups, fwb and long term dating...Sorry, then I misunderstood. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/08/24 06:54 PM |
| 2 | hook ups, fwb and long term dating..."You guys really think the only thing we’re good for is sex" implies that men are always the one who expect sex in the relationship. Lots of people have standards for sexual frequency in a relationship | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/08/24 06:52 PM |
| 1 | hook ups, fwb and long term dating...The deadbedrooms sub is full of women who have high libidos than their husbands. It's not a gender thing. Sexual compatibility and agreement on libido/frequency is a foundation of a good relationship | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/08/24 06:48 PM |

| – | Average guys are made to feel "dirty" for having a sexual desireHere's the thing. You simply can't please everyone. You keep saying "women," as if what one woman says represents all other women. Women are not a monolith and neither are men. Some women truly believe men should never approach in public. Other women will never feel attracted to a man who does not make the first move. So, here's what I do. I do what I think works and is appropriate. If a girl thinks i'm too forward, then she was never the girl for me in the first place. Before dating my wife, th… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/08/24 02:31 PM |

| – | Virgin women are not as desirable as social media makes it seemYeah, even if you aren't that's what I would worry about immediately. Or conservative. I would worry you are conservative, which generally means less adventurous in bed. Personally, it just wouldn't be worth the time for me to explore it, since there are so many fish in the sea | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/08/24 05:36 PM |
| – | Virgin women are not as desirable as social media makes it seem25yo virgin screams Christian or religious to me, if you are even remotely attractive. And, personally, Christian/religious is the number 1 red flag for me | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/08/24 05:21 PM |
