2	is it wrong to want a feminine woman ? I think I'd find it a bit annoying if my wife filled our bed up with too many of those. On the other hand, I sometimes steal her Gutetama lunchbox to take my pork pie in to work. Still not the thing I find most attractive about her...	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/07/23 07:47 PM
1	is it wrong to want a feminine woman ? Can someone ELI5 what a plushie is? My wife has a body pillow. Is that the same? I can't say it is really the thing I find most attractive about her...	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/07/23 07:34 PM
2	How can a man attain power and status, to be more attractive? OP should have read the study. Would have discovered it's been retracted: In a recent article in this journal (Pollet and Nettle, 2009), we reported that women with higher-income partners reported more frequent orgasms in the data from the Chinese Health and Family Life Survey (CHFLS). We also reported, using a stepwise model selection strategy implemented in SPSS 15.0 (SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA), that partner income was a better predictor of reported orgasm frequency than a number of control varia…	/r/PurplePillDebate	20/03/23 07:41 AM
5	The long and short of it is as a man you need to be attractive and high value and if you refuse to do that or simply can’t then unfortunately life is unfair and you will miss out Oh get a grip. The human race has been enjoying a drink for about as long as it's been walking around on two legs. If the world is going to hell in a hand basket just now it is unlikely to be the fault of alcohol. Yes, alcohol can wreck lives. But it also makes weddings and funerals bearable so I'll drink to that.	/r/PurplePillDebate	30/01/23 08:56 PM
6	The long and short of it is as a man you need to be attractive and high value and if you refuse to do that or simply can’t then unfortunately life is unfair and you will miss out Honestly, you're as likely to find the real answer to issues of the self in psychiatry as you are in alcohol or any of the rubbish in the original post. I should know - I work with a bunch of psychiatrists. Probably why I feel like a drink at the end of the day.	/r/PurplePillDebate	30/01/23 08:26 PM

9	The long and short of it is as a man you need to be attractive and high value and if you refuse to do that or simply can’t then unfortunately life is unfair and you will miss out I hate it when people demonise addiction. It's literally just your brain wanting more good stuff.	/r/PurplePillDebate	30/01/23 07:32 PM
1	Do you start drama in your relationship to keep your woman occupied? If you can keep your head when all about you are chimping out, then you'll be a man my son.	/r/PurplePillDebate	26/01/23 10:29 PM
20	I'm going to dismantle the blue pill in 8 sentences, and dismantle the red pill in 9. I will then give what I believe is the only valid approach to mutually fulfilling relationships. So you are saying that a successful relationship requires finding some middle ground between being a doormat and being abusive... Genius!	/r/PurplePillDebate	23/01/23 11:13 PM

9	CMV: At this point, this sub is the red pill light Quick, cancel the kid ASAP and get him into the mindset reprogramming class else he has no hope.	/r/PurplePillDebate	20/01/23 10:50 PM
3	Is having mental illness or being neurodivergent the most unattractive trait a man have? Introversion and social anxiety have relatively easy solutions called alcohol and illegal drugs. Of course, if you are introverted, socially anxious AND a puritan, then you're in trouble.	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/12/22 06:47 PM
1	Where did this idea that younger women make better partners come from? Gosh! You're right.	/r/PurplePillDebate	05/12/22 12:17 PM

1	What are the traits the opposite sex find attractive that you think are actually easiest to cultivate? What do you think stop so many people disgruntled by their dating prospects from doing so? Learn to cook (either sex).	/r/PurplePillDebate	16/10/22 02:49 PM
2	Does porn really mess with your brain? Yeah, I could do a quick Google search and pick something that confirms my preconceived beliefs, but that's not really how science works.	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/10/22 08:41 AM
1	Does porn really mess with your brain? He's the 'Harvard scientist' that the article you linked is based on. He's actually a charlatan with a self-help course to promote. Porn may or may not be bad for people (and society). But this is not a question that can be answered by neuroscience. And a sensible answer is not going to be in terms of neurotransmitters. That is all.	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/10/22 12:31 AM
1	Does porn really mess with your brain? Oooo, dopamine! Scary... Although it's funny how if you go to the Harvard Medical School website and search for Kevin Majeres it comes up blank.	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/10/22 07:09 PM
1	(The elephant in the room) Why a fun sex life and a stable long term monogamous relationship can't occur together. The madonna-whore complex applied to IRL 'Applied to IRL' makes no sense. The madonna-whore complex either applies IRL or to RL.	/r/PurplePillDebate	18/08/22 09:10 PM
2	Men with college degrees have far wider and more frequent dating options. That partially differentiates you I guess	/r/PurplePillDebate	24/05/22 08:05 AM
2	What’s one (or more) piece of advice you’d give to young people when it comes to dating? I'd go with the quote that is (probably erroneously) attributed to Einstein: Men marry women with the hope they will never change. Women marry men with the hope they will change. Invariably they are both disappointed. My specific advice to men would be learn to cook at least one thing well. I always found that having someone round to dinner led to more than going to a restaurant, and it's cheaper too.	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/05/22 05:28 PM

3	Question for men and woman: what careers do you view as a redflag or dealbreaker in the opposite gender when it comes to dating Accountant	/r/PurplePillDebate	16/03/22 06:24 PM
1	The Prisoner's Dilemma and the zero-sum dating game True. Although at 21 I had no interest in children but was still interested in relationships. Just had my first kid and I'm in my 40s. I don't regret enjoying a good run of being child-free. But I don't think I would have wanted to spend all those years being single.	/r/PurplePillDebate	11/12/21 08:47 AM
2	The Prisoner's Dilemma and the zero-sum dating game Damn, love that you walk the talk. There could be the germ of a bestselling self-help book in there. Or at least a mathematical agony aunt column.	/r/PurplePillDebate	11/12/21 08:05 AM
1	The Prisoner's Dilemma and the zero-sum dating game Interesting. Tbh I hadn't realised there was still new stuff to discover in the Prisoner's Dilemma. I feel I might have been in past relationships against zero determinant extortionate strategies! But this article suggests all is not lost: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/game-theory-calls-cooperation-into-question1/	/r/PurplePillDebate	11/12/21 07:59 AM
1	The Prisoner's Dilemma and the zero-sum dating game Yes, interesting point. It could be that the pay-off matrix has become skewed against cooperation. Although it still seems to me that people say they want relationships just as much as they used to. They just seem less willing to compromise a bit to get one. I don't get the impression that anyone in this sub is really happy with an endless hook-up/ghosting sequence which is what makes me think that we're playing the game wrong.	/r/PurplePillDebate	11/12/21 07:48 AM
4	The Prisoner's Dilemma and the zero-sum dating game Fair point. For the record I am happily married.	/r/PurplePillDebate	10/12/21 12:44 AM
4	The Prisoner's Dilemma and the zero-sum dating game I don't think anything in my post excluded LGBTQ+ relationships although I'm sure there may be additional external pressures there. I also tried not to make my argument explicitly gendered. I think anyone of any gender can benefit from a good relationship. And even if it is all 'transactional', successful transactions depend on trust. I would assume our best bet is to acknowledge peoples differences, respect them, and find people who think likely to you. This is problematic imo. We tend to coope…	/r/PurplePillDebate	10/12/21 12:42 AM

17	Most people here overcomplicate the act of finding a relationship, and overlook these simple steps in favor of a distorted view of how dating works. It's not simple to find a good relationship. Otherwise people wouldn't spend so much of their time trying. It wouldn't be the subject of so many films, books, magazine articles, songs etc. It's also not impossible. Most people manage it eventually. But people here seem either want to pump their own egos about how attractive they are, or wallow in self-pity about how unattractive they are. The truth is mostly somewhere in the middle.	/r/PurplePillDebate	19/11/21 10:11 PM
0	Sexual assault leads to more female orgasms and more pregnancies than regular sex. Why is this? The paper you cite gives two plausible explanations for the phenomenon. What more do you want?	/r/PurplePillDebate	22/10/21 04:06 PM
2	For those of you that are always claiming that the main/only reason many men here are struggling with dating is that they lack social skills, how exactly did you improve them yourself? Bro, just get your dad to invent a new crystalline form of water and you'll totally score with dwarf Ukranian KGB ballerinas.	/r/PurplePillDebate	16/10/21 01:44 PM
4	For those of you that are always claiming that the main/only reason many men here are struggling with dating is that they lack social skills, how exactly did you improve them yourself? One thing I did was move to another country. That way all the stuff I took for granted turned out to be really interesting to the people around me. Not possible for everyone I realise, but I honestly believe everyone should live in another country at least once in their life. But, even without that, you just learn more stuff over time, have interesting experiences, collect interesting stories. It doesn't happen overnight, although the choices you make can help it happen quicker or slower. Some o…	/r/PurplePillDebate	15/10/21 07:20 PM
13	For those of you that are always claiming that the main/only reason many men here are struggling with dating is that they lack social skills, how exactly did you improve them yourself? Honestly, I just started drinking and taking drugs. After that I stopped caring what people thought of me. That made me a more sociable person, but you can only take the approach so far. Then I got older, and realised that (1) I had genuinely interesting things to say, and (2) the people around me started to have interesting things to say too. It tends to come with doing something with your life. Christ, if I was a teenager these days I don't know what I'd have to talk about except Tiktok videos…	/r/PurplePillDebate	15/10/21 06:55 PM

8	Objectively attractive guys/girls, what are your experiences on apps? Got some matches. Went on a few dates. Met a girl. Got married. Now have a kid. Can't complain.	/r/PurplePillDebate	22/07/21 10:23 PM

0	Porn has been extremely destructive to the male mind. Even more so than social media's impact on women in the last 15 years. If you're finding that porn is having negative effects on your life then obviously you should try to cut down. I'd tell the same thing to someone whose life was affected by spending too much time drinking, or exercising, or ballroom dancing or whatever. But telling people that any amount of porn is harmful will be as useful as preaching abstinence with regard to alcohol, drugs, heavy metal music, chocolate, social media, or whatever else is the latest trend in millenerianist thinking. At best pe…	/r/PurplePillDebate	11/07/21 01:32 PM
1	Porn has been extremely destructive to the male mind. Even more so than social media's impact on women in the last 15 years. My point is that dopamine and rewiring are mechanisms of learning (not sure I'd call either metaphorical). But if neuroscience disproved dopaminergic mechanisms tomorrow, that wouldn't make us question whether people can actually learn. We already know people can learn! Similarly, your claim about porn having a harmful effect on behaviour rests on whether you have evidence for that. Pointing to a putative mechanism doesn't strengthen the case for your hypothesised phenomenon, any more than an ab…	/r/PurplePillDebate	11/07/21 12:58 PM
0	Porn has been extremely destructive to the male mind. Even more so than social media's impact on women in the last 15 years. Not saying porn is or isn't harmful (though I think there are worse things to worry about) but all this stuff about dopamine and rewiring the brain is just neuro fallacy. Everything we do releases chemicals in the brain and causes synaptic plasticity. And you could have just cited Pavlov and Skinner. Putting a modern neuroscientific spin on it doesn't make it any more convincing than any other social/behavioural science theory or ideological stance. See also the uses and misuses of fMRI.
