| – | Were the guys who hurt you the most actually hot?I wouldn't say so, for me it had to do with how safe and accepted I felt. Then I have the rug pulled out from under me and came crashing down to reality. Physical attraction for me is just pass/fail, I don't really compare men beyond that. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/08/25 04:50 PM |
| 1 | The more bitter you are about the dating landscape, the further you’ll remain single.Homeboy really thinks I'm somehow insulted by not being as young and hot as the bimbos he keeps company with. I'd rather look like Eric Stolz in Mask than be a trash person. Looks are fleeting, character is forever. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/08/25 06:08 PM |

| 5 | Withholding sex entirely can be a mechanism of dominance and control by a more powerful partnerMy ex-husband withheld sex as punishment. I know what it's like. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/08/25 02:51 PM |
| 5 | Withholding sex entirely can be a mechanism of dominance and control by a more powerful partnerWithholding sex or any other kind of withholding (e.g. affection, communication, etc) is a form of abuse if the intention is to hurt, manipulate, or punish a partner. This is obviously different from genuinely not wanting to have sex due to low libido or feeling withdrawn after an argument. It's also not just something that can be used against "weak men." Anyone, man or woman, attractive or unattractive, can be a victim of withholding. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/08/25 02:34 PM |
| 2 | Do you think it's ok for men to be with women they're not attracted to because they can't do better?It depends on why. If a guy has looks standards that are too high, he'll need to work on lowering those (same goes for women). If that isn't the issue and a guy is being realistic about physical attractiveness then I don't think what you're suggesting would work. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/08/25 04:04 PM |
| 7 | How true is the take that "women talk to one dude at time"It's true for me and my friends and I'm sure it's true for most women honestly. Talking to multiple men at once feels off. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 31/07/25 02:09 PM |
| 7 | Do (some) women realize what going after masculine men means?Men are responsible for men and the incentives they give women. Women are responsible for women and the incentives they give men. I think your post follows that logic. Those of us who are not introspective enough to realize what we are really pursuing do so to our own detriment. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/07/25 08:15 PM |

| 1 | Why do men here seem to think that the only way to approach women is by cold approaching strangers and asking them on a date on the first meeting? Why don’t they understand getting to know someone over time?Then you get what you pay for | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/07/25 03:32 PM |
| -1 | Why do men here seem to think that the only way to approach women is by cold approaching strangers and asking them on a date on the first meeting? Why don’t they understand getting to know someone over time?Oh I know you didn't say bimbo. I'm saying that. Women who are uninteresting never had to develop personalities because they could rely on sex appeal. All I know is what I have witnessed since middle school, which is that men tend to give attention to the wrong types of women and then want to whine about the consequences. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/07/25 03:26 PM |
| 3 | Why do men here seem to think that the only way to approach women is by cold approaching strangers and asking them on a date on the first meeting? Why don’t they understand getting to know someone over time?I think maybe we're misunderstanding each other. What if I were to say men should practice cold approaching through random interactions with strangers? The point is getting over the discomfort and becoming better at conversation, both of which are necessary skills for cold approaching women. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/07/25 03:20 PM |
| 2 | Why do men here seem to think that the only way to approach women is by cold approaching strangers and asking them on a date on the first meeting? Why don’t they understand getting to know someone over time?I don't know that "most women" are complete bimbos, but you're right in that there are plenty of women with trashy, unattractive personalities. Kind, interesting women are less visible because we aren't trying to use our looks or our bodies to get romance. So men don't notice us. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/07/25 03:04 PM |
| 3 | Why do men here seem to think that the only way to approach women is by cold approaching strangers and asking them on a date on the first meeting? Why don’t they understand getting to know someone over time?Making small talk with strangers is uncomfortable if you're not used to doing it. It's a way of conditioning yourself to face discomfort and gain confidence so it's a bit easier to start cold approaching. You know, wade in the kiddy pool before jumping in the deep end. Weird and awkward cold approaches are the whole reason women don't want to be approached anymore. So fix the weird and awkward before you start cold approaching. I don't mind being approached by a respectful man. I do mind being a… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/07/25 02:54 PM |

| 6 | Why do men here seem to think that the only way to approach women is by cold approaching strangers and asking them on a date on the first meeting? Why don’t they understand getting to know someone over time?I get what she's trying to articulate but most women miss the mark. You can't go from 'tism to 100. My suggestion to men is to get comfortable approaching random people, man or woman, and just make small talk and practice that way. Just low stakes conversations until you're more of a social butterfly. Focus on process over outcome. Then you can cold approach, make friendly conversation, and ask a woman out if it's clear she's enjoying the conversation and her eyes aren't glazing over. When you s… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/07/25 02:28 PM |
| 0 | Do you basically use hookups to get with men who otherwise wouldn’t consider you?That only works when a guy has already decided that he doesn't mind forgoing sex on the first date because he couldn't possibly know prior to the date whether he wants to wife someone up. Attractive men who can get laid won't bother waiting to get to know a woman if sex isn't involved up front. So if you aren't willing to sleep with those guys they'll never find out whether you're wife material or not. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/07/25 01:18 AM |

| 1 | CMV: The next generation of women will have an even harder time datingYour experience has been the opposite of mine. I've got some really close girlfriends who are putting themselves out there and have been struggling. I'm on a break for now but before that I had trouble too despite trying to see if there's some pattern I'm missing. Ultimately, I just don't like the idea of assuming people are struggling because they're not quality partners. It's just not always the case. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/07/25 08:54 PM |
| 9 | CMV: The next generation of women will have an even harder time datingNah, being a quality partner almost makes it harder. Everyone else is incentivized to engage in bad behavior so there's constant pressure to just give in. Quality people have to weed through a lot of garbage before they find each other. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/07/25 05:37 PM |
| 0 | Do you basically use hookups to get with men who otherwise wouldn’t consider you?I don't but there is a lot of pressure for women to do so. Men lose interest quickly if you don't sleep with them. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/07/25 05:32 PM |
| 4 | Ideally, how much of your value do you think should come from sex?I don't think the situations on r/deadbedrooms are happening because women aren't being valued for sex. There's usually something else going on under the surface. For women, libido tends to change over time in long term relationships and it takes work to keep our sex lives active and healthy. I understand that it's useful to have discussions like these in transactional terms like "value," but you shouldn't be living your life on these terms. Relationships require mutual self-sacrifice. You give … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/07/25 03:00 PM |
| 7 | Question to the women here who have lots of matches on dating apps but haven't been in or don't care much to be in a relationship: How do you reconcile having so many options, and wanting to date, but yet finding all or 95% of men not good enough?Most men who try to swipe on me look like slobs, many are overweight, have horrible facial hair, whine about dating in their bio, don't share my values, and end up being really timid if I do end up going on a date with them. I don't understand where anyone, man or woman, gets it in their head that attractiveness is a one way street. I put effort into looking good and being the sort of person who is worth pursuing. I expect some sort of reciprocity there. The aspects of my character and attractiv… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/02/25 08:31 PM |
| 1 | As a woman, I really don't get the logic behind "I got used for sex"What do you mean begin my own undoing? I have no idea what that refers to. Like I replied to others, there are fewer men in my pool than for women who engage in hookup culture. It makes it harder to find a relationship and it sucks. It's not the ghosting so much as it's the scarcity that the culture has created. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/01/25 03:21 AM |
| 1 | As a woman, I really don't get the logic behind "I got used for sex"I'm gonna agree to disagree on being used for money being as bad as being used for sex. If that were true then someone who steals $20 from your wallet would receive the same punishment as a rapist. The ghosting and vetting isn't actually the issue, it's being penalized by the culture for being disciplined. It's way easier to get into a relationship if you're promiscuous. If I'm disciplined about what I eat and working out, I know I'll get results. Being sexually disciplined doesn't guarantee nor… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/01/25 03:15 AM |

| 1 | As a woman, I really don't get the logic behind "I got used for sex"It's not so much that they directly pressure me into having sex (usually). But when the topic comes up and I say I prefer to wait I get hit with "we're not compatible." Or they'll ghost not long after that conversation. I don't want these particular men per se, it's just frustrating that the pool of men willing to wait is artificially small because our culture rewards promiscuity. You can be the most perfect partner in the world, but when given the choice a lot of men will choose the cheaper, qu… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/01/25 09:03 PM |
| 2 | As a woman, I really don't get the logic behind "I got used for sex"The piece you're missing is the overwhelming pressure placed on women to "put out" to get into a relationship. If you try to date prudently and wait to have sex until a genuine, mutually rewarding connection is formed, men who are actually capable of attracting women ignore or reject you. How do I know this? I know this because that's how I try to date. It's like being an ugly unicorn. Like sure, you're a rare breed but that's not enough to interest people.

| 4 | What % of men fail to meet reasonable hygiene or grooming standards?I don't think most men actually smell or have dirty fingernails. I'd say A LOT have horrible haircuts, facial hair, and wardrobe choices. I see a lot of the Duck Dynasty look. Even if they are well cared for those beards look dirty and disgusting. I don't see many men with a decent sense of style and their clothing isn't properly fitted/tailored. I'm not an expert on matching men's haircuts to face shapes but I suspect a lot of men would benefit from that as well. I'd say 50-70% of men fall into… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/01/25 08:12 PM |

I've got Hashimoto's and the medications and supplements I'm on are like an on/off switch for depression/anxiety. My mood gets low whenever I need an adjustment. I suspect a lot of men have similar issues without knowing it and a lot of the arbitrary expectations were driven by feeling like dirt in the first place, not the other way around. The modern environment is horrible for human health. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/12/24 04:29 PM |
| – | Do women actually care if a guy is under 6 feet?I'm very petite, it's rare for me to even find a man who is shorter than me. I think it's reasonable to want to date a man who is the same height or slightly taller but at a certain point it gets way too superficial. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/12/24 12:58 PM |
| – | Do women actually care if a guy is under 6 feet?The only woman I've ever met who cared is exactly the type of woman you don't want to date. Part of the reason I ended our friendship is I got sick and tired of watching her treat men like garbage. Literally the most self-absorbed person I've ever met. Average height is fine. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/12/24 04:20 AM |

| 1 | How many of you would be prepared if a draft was called up?Lol, they'd never put draftees in a fighter jet, first of all. Firing a rifle wouldn't be a problem but the physical demands of marching long distances with 60+ pounds of gear, pulling a wounded soldier out of harms way, or hauling ass to get out of the line of fire. That eliminates most women from combat. Women can be drafted into other types of roles and I wouldn't have an issue with that. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/12/24 02:43 PM |
| -1 | How many of you would be prepared if a draft was called up?Voting has never been the "reward" for getting drafted. Only white landowning males over 21 could vote when the country was founded and I'm pretty sure the average soldier didn't own land back then. Are you going to also say men with disabilities can't vote? Do men who age out of the draft lose their right to vote? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/12/24 02:37 PM |

| 1 | How many of you would be prepared if a draft was called up?It's true that wars overall require lower manpower and a lot of operations require more technical skills, but if we're talking about a large scale conflict with another world power, we might very well need a draft.

War won't go neatly according to plan, it will be messy, in a large conflict there will be many casualties, but the US military doesn't just send in a bunch of guys in to absorb bullets until the enemy runs out.

| 1 | How many of you would be prepared if a draft was called up?It's still against our vital interests. I agree that we can and should be energy independent, but relying on global supply chains means its in our interest to make sure countries without their own oil have access to it elsewhere. We're in too deep to isolate at this point. If we achieve clean, renewable energy and didn't need oil, there are still other raw materials to worry about. It doesn't feel as heroic as fighting the Nazis and it's ugly but that's where the world is at for now. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/12/24 12:50 AM |

Plus the all-volunteer force we have now is a lot more professional and effective. My grandfather got away with drunk driving through the barracks on his motorcycle, you'd never get away with that nowadays.

In fact that already does happen sometimes. When there is a conflict between punishing the guilty and protecting the innocent, you choose the innocent. It's better to have false accusers walk free than sending a bunch of rape victims to prison. And I don't take it lightly that it means men who have been falsely accused don't get justice.

A woman who is extremely selective with who she sleeps with is usually only going to hold off on sex until the relationship feels safe and secure. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/10/24 03:17 PM |
| 8 | Submission is earned.If you go to the online dating subreddit, you see a lot of posts about women being disappointed in how quickly conversations turn sexual before a first date. That almost never happens to me. Part of it is who I match with but also how I've presented myself on my profile and how I come across when I chat makes it clear that I'm not going to be the type to put up with disrespect. I don't put my sexuality at the forefront when dating so men can tell I have more to offer. My most frequent compliment… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/10/24 03:09 PM |
| 63 | Submission is earned.I really wish we'd stop using the word submissive in all of these discussions about dating and marriage. Men with good intentions use the word to express their desire for respect in a relationship and for a woman to trust his leadership and guidance. Then you have the disgusting pigs who think submission means a woman who is okay with being a slave. If you don't want woman who is constantly opposed to the direction you want to go, say that. If you don't want a woman who is controlling, say that.… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/10/24 01:37 PM |
| 3 | Submission is earned.If you're the sort of traditional woman who is waiting for marriage then you've earned it by staying disciplined sexually and demonstrating a capacity for loyalty and fidelity. Women who don't wait can certainly be loyal and faithful but they won't be able to demonstrate those things up front in the same way a woman who is waiting can. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/10/24 01:24 PM |
| 1 | If Spongebob didn't teach you marine biology, you shouldnt be using fiction to talk about women’s attraction.I have. They're as insufferable as they sound. You tend to hear more of them openly talk about watching "You" on Netflix nowadays. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/10/24 12:16 AM |
| 1 | If Spongebob didn't teach you marine biology, you shouldnt be using fiction to talk about women’s attraction.I'm being a bit reductive there. Plenty of women who have read those books are wonderful but for them 50 shades is a guilty pleasure and they recognize that it's brain rot. They effectively admit this when they deny reading it. You've also got women who unabashedly read the books and don't see the issue with being fans of that kind of garbage. I think men are usually talking about that second category. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/10/24 11:52 PM |
| 3 | If Spongebob didn't teach you marine biology, you shouldnt be using fiction to talk about women’s attraction.Um, yes they do? Do you have any idea how much novels like 1984 have formed society's views of authoritarian socialism (e.g. Soviet Communism, Maoism, etc)? A novel like 1984 isn't "true" because we really believe there is a literal country called Oceania where Big Brother is always watching. It's true because it shows us the reality of living in countries with similar ideologies and constant surveillance. You do realize literature studies continue past 8th grade right? There's more out there th… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/10/24 10:09 PM |

| 2 | If Spongebob didn't teach you marine biology, you shouldnt be using fiction to talk about women’s attraction.Sometimes I look at the dating market and think about how the worst men and women in it really do deserve each other.

| 5 | If Spongebob didn't teach you marine biology, you shouldnt be using fiction to talk about women’s attraction.Those aren't tropes. "Enemies to lovers" is a trope. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/10/24 05:56 PM |
| 11 | If Spongebob didn't teach you marine biology, you shouldnt be using fiction to talk about women’s attraction.Humor and the hero's journey. It doesn't necessarily always mean a deep, profound truth. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/10/24 05:32 PM |
| 10 | If Spongebob didn't teach you marine biology, you shouldnt be using fiction to talk about women’s attraction.Good fiction tells the truth and can provide deep insight into the world and the human spirit. Anna Karenina, for example, tells a good deal of the truth about sexual dynamics. I wouldn't categorize 50 Shades of Grey as good fiction. It's pornographic fantasy written for vapid, shallow women. It's popularity does give some insight though. There are very real women who read these kinds of books and it shows what kinds of men those women desire. It also reveals to me the kinds of women a lot of me… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/10/24 05:13 PM |
| 1 | Why Do Women Think Their Feelings Matter More Than The Truth?I mean, you can ask, and when the question is asked, the woman would look suspicious if she said no. So if you think it should be standard practice to ask, sure, go ahead. But be willing to deal with the consequences when the kid turns out to be yours and you have effectively accused a good woman of cheating. 9/10, there are signs that someone is cheating or the sort of person who would cheat. But everyone (men and women) is taught to make decisions based on lust and without any prudence. So the… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/09/24 03:09 AM |
| – | Virgin women are not as desirable as social media makes it seemKeep your chin up, it takes a long time to find a guy who genuinely values women. If you're honest with yourself about improving whatever areas you have control over, you'll find a guy who genuinely values what you bring to the table. Sorry you're going through this, I definitely know how you feel. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/08/24 02:31 PM |
| – | Virgin women are not as desirable as social media makes it seemThe delusional red pillers have no idea how isolating and lonely it feels to be sexually conservative. You're surrounded by promiscuity being rewarded by men and then they have the gall to, at a minimum, be intellectually dishonest about it. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/08/24 02:22 PM |
| 3 | Why do *some men, try to convince virginal & low n count women to have sex without marriage/commitment?90% of the men who say they want a virgin/low n count woman don't deserve one, won't value one, and won't respect one. They pursue very sexually available women and then wonder why they keep ending up in terrible relationships (not that high n count makes you a bad person but presenting your body as the best thing you have to offer tends to not be a good sign). | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/08/24 12:18 AM |
| – | I'm tired of people telling men that they shouldn't care about relationship/sex/intimacy and just focus on "being happy singe"I wouldn't say not being able to find a guy you're attracted to is being single by choice. Like yeah, I could start dating a guy who's morbidly obese but is that really actually an option women should be expected to make? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/07/24 11:56 AM |
| – | I'm tired of people telling men that they shouldn't care about relationship/sex/intimacy and just focus on "being happy singe"Women get this advice too. The point isn't to never admit you feel lonely or that you have to be the most confident man on the planet. It's about cultivating a positive mindset about yourself. I've been on both sides of that. I had a really negative, pessimistic view of myself and the world and thought I could only be happy in a relationship. When I let go of that idea, life got a lot better and I liked myself a lot more. Still single, life gets lonely sometimes, but my happiness doesn't depend … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/07/24 11:51 AM |

| 3 | Birth and MilitaryNo, because the debate itself is stupid. It's not useful to pit women not being able to get abortions and men getting drafted or going to war against each other as issues. If the point of it is to get men to admit more money should be used to study women's bodies than war, you're wrong. Go find something else to take funding from. Warfare studies defend the country, abortion doesn't.

Draftees would be a nightmare scenario. Ok, relevant point now. We've been fighting insurgents with inferior equipment for decades now, not a near peer military. If we did get into a conflict with a near peer, it would be a bloodbath. You'd see combat deaths on a level not seen since WWII. Secondly, all men are required to register for the draft.

| 4 | why are these pill theories seen as controversial?There's two problems with the pills: 1) lack of accountability. If nothing's your fault and you don't understand that everyone has to deal with problems they didn't cause, you get to be resentful of whatever you perceive to be causing all of your problems. The resentment creates a damage radius that extends far beyond genuinely terrible men/women. The Me Too movement targeted all men instead of just the predators. It's not fair that there are men who sexually assault and harass women but that do… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/06/24 04:19 PM |
| -1 | Q4W: Why is it mostly other women behind the trad wife backlash?It's other women because some of us handle disagreements through some type of character assassination rather than confronting the behavior itself. It's the mark of emotionally immature women. I can disagree with the June Cleaver larping without attacking anyone's character. Someone's behavior would have to be pretty bad to start making judgements on that front. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/06/24 03:49 PM |

| 1 | How wise and intelligent would a woman be if she planned and wanted to marry a rich man and had children with him and divorce him to get alimony, assets and a good child support?Sure, wise, intelligent, and sociopathic. The witch of a woman it would take to do this is second only to a serial black widow. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/06/24 02:17 AM |

| 0 | There is a certain irony behind the RPs line of logic of “young women have less baggage” when the RP encourages behaviors that give young women emotional baggageI don't buy that younger women are "more fun to be around" for older men and I don't buy that this assertion is anything but an excuse to overvalue youth in a woman's sexual attractiveness. Men spend thousands of hours of their lives watching porn in which youth is fetishized and then want to act like there's any legitimacy to the notion that they're looking for anything non-superficial by chasing after younger women. Just because they didn't know you'd date a nineteen-year old in the future doe… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/06/24 12:09 AM |
| 0 | There is a certain irony behind the RPs line of logic of “young women have less baggage” when the RP encourages behaviors that give young women emotional baggageOk, sure, whatever you need to tell yourself. Don't care, I don't buy it. I wouldn't want physical contact with older men who prefer the company of nineteen year olds either. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/06/24 11:39 PM |
| 2 | There is a certain irony behind the RPs line of logic of “young women have less baggage” when the RP encourages behaviors that give young women emotional baggageWhat I find really dumb about this assertion that younger women are "better" because of less emotional baggage is that baggage isn't the problem. If you're 19 with no relationship baggage but don't have the character to overcome life's hardships you're going to be a bad partner. A woman who doesn't take responsibility for her own healing at 32 probably wasn't the type to do so at 21. Men who try to rationalize chasing after significantly younger women just want the younger hotter body but since … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/06/24 10:57 PM |

When you start becoming aware of these things you can't repress them anymore which makes them worse if you don't get help. It is also incredibly beneficial if you're willing to do the work. If you're doing it right it'll be a pretty grueling experience and requires you to take a lot of responsibility and accountability for yourself.

| 1 | A lot of men need to lower their standardsI don't buy it. Like I can definitely agree there's a massive difference between receiving affirmation on social media as a woman and men watching porn but it doesn't make much sense to claim men's views of women don't change when they more frequently view women in porn for their own gratification rather than speaking with living, breathing women in real life. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/06/24 04:32 PM |
| 1 | A lot of men need to lower their standardsRight, I think it's more about who we say no to rather than trying to say yes to more people. I do think attraction is a bit more flexible than we're willing to admit but it takes a lot of self work and you gotta avoid filing your brain with garbage (constantly looking at insta models/influencers, etc). | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/06/24 08:34 PM |
| 1 | A lot of men need to lower their standardsI agree with quite a bit about what you're saying but everyone is aligning themselves with the wrong men and women. We can't control what the opposite sex wants but we can control how we treat the opposite sex and who we give our attention to. Men and women need to stop rewarding garbage human beings for their bad behavior. It appalls me to hear how men get treated when they try to be vulnerable with a partner. Women are supposed to be nurturing and safe to be vulnerable with. But since men chas… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/06/24 02:28 PM |
| 9 | A lot of men need to lower their standardsI think anyone can move the needle a bit on what they're attracted to physically. Like ideally I'd want a guy who's at least 5'6" but I've matched with a guy who's 5'3" before because I know I'd stop caring about that if we were compatible. I don't know that compromising on looks should even be put in the "standards" category. There's a baseline level of physical attraction that is a standard but a lot of it is really just "preferences." I also think porn has had the same effect on men that Inst… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/06/24 02:19 PM |
| 2 | Autistic men should accept that autism is a serious condition and people have the right to not want to date an autistic manI have an honest question: which trait(s) are we saying make it difficult for NT's to "deal with" autistic men? Or what sort of trait(s) are we saying autistic men who feel entitled to date NT's have (or anyone from the looks of this post)? With the diverse set of symptoms autism diagnoses can involve nowadays it's not a category I would think to exclude outright. I want to know what sort of behaviors we're talking about here. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/05/24 06:37 PM |
