| 19 | A case study into AITA’s gender bias (favouring women) and how it aligns with TBPLol yeah I got banned from a subreddit because I had the temerity to say men should try actively to date instead of just trying to make friends and hoping a date relationship will just form spontaneously. There's only one way of thinking about things that's tolerated apparently. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/10/24 03:13 AM |
| 1 | CMV: Males should continue to make the first moveShe made the rape accusation *because* she found him creepy. She said that exact word: "she said Pierson was “creepy” and she had seen his truck before in the shopping center when she worked there, police said." So she felt creeped out and because of that she felt justified in making a fake rape allegation, hoping the police would arrest him. And they did. They played right into her hand, and it took them a whole month to figure it out. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/10/24 02:46 AM |

But this is an incident where a woman felt creeped out by a man, called the police, and made up a story about he attempted to rape her. He was arrested and in jail for 30 days while the police investigated and found he actually didn't do anything she said. When police confronted her she said Pierson was “c… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/10/24 08:49 PM |
| 3 | CMV: Males should continue to make the first moveThe notion that we should "believe women" needs to die. This man was arrested and thrown in jail because the police believed a story instead of evidence. We should not throw men in jail because a woman has a story. It would be nice if all women told the truth and we could imprison only guilty people based on their word alone, but that's not the world we live in. We gave some extreme deference to women in the wake of MeToo, but like I said, they abused that power, so that ship has sailed. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/10/24 06:43 PM |
| 0 | CMV: Males should continue to make the first moveThank you for your detailed response, it's kind of what I expected. Meaning that a man reading your response can't discern how to not be creepy, because there's no real definition. It's all in the eye of the beholder. You described a situation where a guy didn't do anything wrong, just asked you a question, you gave him an answer, he took another shot, but gave up quickly and left you alone and you both went on with your days. This seems like the best case scenario. And yet your perception of th… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/10/24 06:37 PM |
| 3 | CMV: Males should continue to make the first moveOkay but that's pretty glib and dismissive then. The situation isn't "bad things happen" the situation is "random women can weaponize the violence of the state against random men without a shred of proof, causing loss of liberty". That does sound like a stray bullet. But it's a problem that can be solved by taking that very unfair and strong power away from women. They've proven they are not fit to wield it without abusing it. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/10/24 06:06 PM |
| 3 | CMV: Males should continue to make the first moveYes, and also men should have an exit plan if they are living with a women, who decides suddenly that she wants to weaponize the state against you. They will come to your house and kick you out, with no recourse. Men in that situation are thrown out onto the streets, they lose their job, and women can do this without any proof, just as the woman in the linked article got a man jailed for 30 days without any proof. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/10/24 05:48 PM |

| 1 | CMV: Males should continue to make the first moveFeminism tells us male and female are fine for adjectives: male writer, female singer. To call someone a male or female is dehumanizing though, because that terminology is used to refer to animals. We have the words man and woman to refer to humans. That she referred to men as males and women as women should tell you how she views men. It's a choice. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/10/24 05:41 PM |

I did this messy dating in high school and college but after that finding friends is too hard, you can't just make new ones easily. It's safer to actually date to date, instead of going through all the work to get a friend group only to risk it. But you're right if there's someone you're friends with that you want to be with romantically, sometimes you have to take a chance.

Let's say you follow the advice, you get a good group of friends, everyone likes you, you start getting close to one of the women there, and you get into a relationship. Things are great. Wow, that advice really worked! Until you break up. Then the friend group is split, people are forced to take sides, and the women all take the woman's side.

Again, you haven't even dated this decade. Last time you dated, Online Dating was actually good and OKCupid was a legit app. You have no relevant experience to offer men struggling in 2024.

But I know it’s generally true because I observe culture. Your first problem is you're looking at media. Media is not "what men want", it's a projection of a physical ideal coming from a capitalist enterprise. If you want to know what men find attractive, look at what porn is produced and consumed. You will surely find tons of skinny young women, but there is also a huge market for any kind of body type. Small, tal… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/10/24 02:39 PM |

| 4 | Approaching women is very possible, it's just not like fulfilling video game objectives where following a list of steps leads you to a definite reward.Well good luck in your 30s, I think everything I said still holds. From 21 to 30 there's a gradual declining in socializing as you go from dating wonderland in college to dating desert -- as friends get married, people start families, your career becomes more demanding, health issues start copping up, life starts catching up with you.

| – | Do you think it is a good idea to try to be extra macho to get women's attention?I'm not a woman but I think this is my first advice for you: Stop asking women for advice about what works for dating women. They have no idea at all -- women can only tell you what works for them personally, and their advice is usually tailored for men they already find attractive; whereas men have the benefit of experience. My advice to you after you work on your appearance, is don't strive to be macho, but instead strive to be less feminine. Those are different strategies.

| 4 | Approaching women is very possible, it's just not like fulfilling video game objectives where following a list of steps leads you to a definite reward.Yes, and my point is that for OP, his entire college experience is a social venue, so his advice gleaned in dating wonderland about how easy it is does not apply to most people's situations. YMMV. How old are you? When you're 30+, social venues are few and far between, the majority of people *in* those social venues are not in your dating pool, and of the people in your social venue in your dating pool close to zero are attracted to you for a man. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/10/24 05:51 PM |

It's true you have to hide all of these things when dating. But although they can be a curse, they can be a blessing as well. The problem autistic men have in dating is not that they have trouble with all these social cues -- all men have trouble with this shit.

| 3 | Approaching women is very possible, it's just not like fulfilling video game objectives where following a list of steps leads you to a definite reward.Not really. College is a special place because you're all young, experimenting, have few obligations outside of school work, live in close proximity, similar background, something automatically in common (going to the same school), know people in common, have tons of down time, etc. These conditions don't exist anywhere else or at any other time in your life.

| 2 | The idea of men needing to be "nice" really needs to die alreadyIt's interesting to me you separate nice and attractive, because that's true: being nice and being attractive are two different things. It's true that given equal levels of attractiveness, one can get a leg up by being nicer. But one can also get more attractive by doing a lot of other things that will have a better ROI. That's why the advice is to forget about being nice.

Then she fucks that man until she's tired of being abused by him, and eventually comes back to the "nice guy" who treats her well.

Men don't "think" that, they are *told* that. When women say "I wish I could find a nice guy" men listen. They are very literal. So when a man is nice and a woman says "No, not like that, I didn't mean you *just* have to be nice, it's implied that you have to be hot as well, duh.

Since women might struggle to adapt to a new world where male gender roles are less prevalent.I look at it this way -- I've been a feminist for 15 years, and now I'm not thanks to their overreach. I'm not the only one by far, but I am one of the latest. To me, that's the pendulum swinging back. I was sympathetic to the cause of feminism for a long time, and I believed in the message of equality. But they're asking me to believe my lying eyes and ears and I can't abide that. So I'm not a feminist anymore. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 28/09/24 01:25 AM |

On the other hand, I will say, for a long time I devoted myself to female efforts instead of male efforts. So you are also correct, in that we can't build our own communities if we've been coopted into helping them build theirs. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/06/24 02:31 PM |
| 3 | Why don't more men read womens' romance novels?Yeah, I came around to that thought when I was responding about Bridgeton in another comment. The dude is rich nobility. He's an 1800s English billionaire archetype. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/06/24 01:29 PM |
| 2 | Why don't more men read womens' romance novels?I've watched Bridgerton, and I agree to some extent it's more in line with P&P than modern romance with the 6/6/6 dudes. But at the same time it still falls *squarely* into the billionaire trope. As a woman, what is your insight into Bridgeton as to why it's an appealing fantasy for other women? I admit I'm pretty dense so I might be missing a lot of things obvious to you. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/06/24 01:18 PM |
| 5 | Why don't more men read womens' romance novels?My ex wife told me for 10 years that she doesn't like big muscles on dudes. As soon as I left her and started working out, she's commenting on how good my body is looking, which she never did during our marriage. Go figure. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/06/24 01:13 PM |

| 10 | Why don't more men read womens' romance novels?not even that many usable pickup lines we could obtain from it. Right, because the whole book is about a woman being attracted to her ideal fantasy man. He doesn't need a pickup line, he just attracts her telepathically and knows her inner soul immediately. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/06/24 01:07 PM |
| 5 | Why don't more men read womens' romance novels?Literally everyone "has" abs. They are only visible with low body fat percentage. Like.... verrrrrry low, to the point where it's hard to maintain for long periods given the diet you have to eat. What you saw were malnourished men, not men with well defined muscles. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/06/24 01:02 PM |
| 1 | Why don't more men read womens' romance novels?Yo, literotica has more balanced and realistic content about love and sex compared to the romance section in B&N. On Literotica you will find description of every kind of woman. Sentiments like "maybe a little overweight but in all the right places" are common. Short women, tall women, fat women, skinny women. Descriptions of breasts span the spectrum from small to large. You can find every kind of woman from submissive DDLG to a Mommy Dom. Not so at B&N, scan the covers they are all Fabio.

| 18 | Why don't more men read womens' romance novels?I have. The male protagonist is always tall, mostly brooding, and usually emotional unavailable. But always tall. I read one ("The Love Hypothesis" by Ali Hazelwood) about a grad student who kisses her professor without asking him, and then starts a relationship with him. The book opens with her just kissing him without even asking, because I guess when you're a women they let you do it. Within the first two pages we know precisely three things about this man: he is tall (the author eagerly esta… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/06/24 12:40 PM |
| 2 | What are your unpopular opinions about dating, relationships, manosphere, or/and genders?Feminists claim that the Bechdel Test for films is an insight into the male psyche; when they write female characters, men end up having them only talk about the male character, their romantic relationship with him, and their only role is to advance the plot for him rather than to be full and round characters in their own right. By comparing this to what you had said, I was implying that the fact when a woman in your life doesn't ask you about yourself, doesn't concern herself with your hopes/dr… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/06/24 12:27 PM |

When a woman with an absent father and a string of abusive boyfriends meets a man who is patient and kind and understanding, her first thought is "he must be gay", and she loses all attraction. She mistakes constant anxiety for "butterflies" and says things like "I usually know right away whether I'm into someone or not", and then is surprised… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/06/24 01:02 AM |

| 5 | If we could talk about our stories, would it be way more commonExactly! I can understand when women all have a story like this about men harassing them and making them feel uncomfortable, they can feel like men don't understand how prevalent it is. #MeToo was so important to women because it was finally a chance to get men to realize "Hey, this thing is happening to us and it's a problem that needs to be fixed!" Yeah, okay agreed! But then when you say "Okay, we've been working on this MeToo thing for 7 years, in the spirit of feminism and equality, can we … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/06/24 09:05 PM |
| 2 | An apartment complex where men are bannedSo I had it a little confused, but the law says that in order to be a 55+ community, 80% of the units must be occupied by at least one person at least 55+. I think they can be 100% 55+ if they *want* to, but practically I think it works out that being 100% 55+ isn't ideal. https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/fair_housing_equal_opp/fair_housing_act_housing_older_persons | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/06/24 09:00 PM |
| 13 | An apartment complex where men are bannedYeah I can agree with that, I don't like any punching. But if I'm thinking more along the lines of a group of women getting together and forming a support group around tech. That's great. And then they form a conference where they present papers to each other. I love it, I can get behind that. Women's shelters, women's clinics, all good ideas where I think it's fine to discriminate and say "No Boys/Men Allowed". None of that is punching anywhere. The problem comes when the women's conference bec… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/06/24 07:57 PM |
| 2 | An apartment complex where men are bannedIt's true, I don't think something being "discrimination" per se is a basis to object to it. My broad perspective of left-vs-right wing gender thinking here is that the right believes "you shouldn't discriminate because it causes distortions in the steady state society, which is the ideal society since is was arrived at through an organic process." contrasted with the left wing perspective that "it's okay to cause distortions (discrimination) to correct imbalances in the steady state society bec… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/06/24 07:43 PM |
| 6 | An apartment complex where men are bannedI guess they were trying to say you shouldn't think like that in the first place if you don't want to end up in the situation that you're in, and he's got a point. But the situation before was also bad, and by doing what we did, we actually did improve things across the board for women. But at some point you've done enough, and people don't know when to stop. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/06/24 07:30 PM |
| 2 | An apartment complex where men are bannedAgreed, although I admit I don't know the mind of a child well enough to know how they'd feel in these situations. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/06/24 07:07 PM |
| 13 | An apartment complex where men are bannedIt is. That's why I said it's important to stop that thinking eventually. The objective was achieved, mission accomplished, let's dial back now. But the kind of thinking I'm talking about here is the addition of spaces, not subtraction -- we shouldn't take things away from boys only to give them to girls. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/06/24 07:05 PM |
| 2 | Why do women hate when their male friends confess feelings to them?Why does expressing one's true and honest feelings mean that one doesn't care what another thinks? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/06/24 07:03 PM |
| 9 | An apartment complex where men are bannedYes and no. I mean, I don't think a kid walking by this place will make the connection and think he's a cockroach. But.... the fact there's a "Ministry of Women" in Canada that handles all the men's issues says a lot to the population about who is valued by the government. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/06/24 06:48 PM |
| 7 | An apartment complex where men are bannedA 55+ retirement community has every right to turn away a 25 year old trying to move in. Something I learned is that at least in America, they do *not* have that right. In actuality, these communities reserve a certain (low) percentage of their units for younger people to comply with housing discrimination laws. It used to frustrate me so much that all the new housing in my area was 55+ when I was looking for a house. But I take your overall point that not every space should be open to everyone. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/06/24 06:42 PM |
| 35 | An apartment complex where men are bannedI will say, since this is a left wing sub, I'm okay with discriminating to correct gross imbalances, *temporarily* and that's the important part. For example, if there's an industry with 90% men and 10% women, it's okay to have a group for just the women so they can find solidarity and comradery. A support group for women with 1 women and 9 men isn't going to support women effectively. But you have to stop eventually, and it should probably be sooner than you think, because otherwise it just gro… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/06/24 06:39 PM |

| 3 | Why do women hate when their male friends confess feelings to them?That's reasonable, I can see how you would feel that way if you take it as "without the possibility of fucking, im not worth getting to know otherwise" But I think what people are talking about is the situation is where the man has *already* gotten to know you, and in the course of doing so, caught feelings. That actually is the opposite scenario -- that you are so worth knowing beyond fucking that they want to fuck you.

We'd talk about everything and chat every day about deep topics. Then one day she hit me with this line: "I don't think I'd even be talking to you if I didn't work from home, I'm just so bored all the time." without any hint that could be taken negatively by me. 4 months of talking to me every day because she's bored?
