| 1 | Q4Men: 'Curvy': Can technically overweight or obese women still be attractive to non-thirsty men? Where is your personal limit?That's what people usually mean, and it creates a weird disconnect because the medical definition often starts at a BMI of 30, which resembles more the women you posted (pre-photoshop at least). So people get deeply offended when their doctors say they're obese because the pop culture notion of obese is much different. All that being said I don't want to be some pedantic asshole who insists on medical definitions in everyday life. I just think it's weird when the gap in definitions becomes super… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/04/17 01:20 AM |
| 3 | Q4Men: 'Curvy': Can technically overweight or obese women still be attractive to non-thirsty men? Where is your personal limit?For the record, many or most of those women are medically obese, in terms of BMI. I'm only mentioning it because it's weird to post 5 pictures of obese women as their ideal then say "I won't date obese women though." | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/04/17 03:33 PM |
| 3 | Take the Autism test!But you don't get to vote on what a psychiatric diagnosis is. If you're going to use the diagnostic system, then listen to the people who create it and research it. If you don't want to listen to them, then don't use their terms and their system. Diagnoses aren't like regular language. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/04/17 03:42 AM |
| 2 | Take the Autism test!I mean you basically said someone could have Asperger's instead of Autism when that's not possible by definition. It doesn't matter whether you care what other people think; you're using diagnostic words, so use them correctly or don't use them at all. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/04/17 02:31 AM |

Worth noting that I'm 22 and many of these men look like they're in their 30s and 40s. I like both versions of 6, truly no preference. Both Hugh Jackmans (12), though I do prefer big Hugh Jackman (but I think the first photo is unfairly unflattering). Ronaldo (4) is too effeminate for me to be able to even rate. The rest are just unattractive regardless. They look too "basic" for me. Bonus, it's worth noting … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/04/17 10:56 PM |

The hugest dudes at my gym tend to be single or date women who are also body builders because people aren't super into that. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/04/17 04:04 PM |

| 8 | CMV: The redpill analyzes the lizard brain, while the bluepill mostly focuses on the rational aspect while neglecting our core drives.TRP tries to talk about the lizard brain but makes a bunch of assumptions about past humans that are not evidence-based, then present them as fact. For example, the idea that men used to be extremely concerned with sharing resources only with their own offspring, that women selected one mate to take care of them, etc. These underlie all of the behaviors they talk about but there is limited evidence for them. All of these assumptions only hold once we became sedentary and isolated ourselves into … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/03/17 06:24 PM |

Oh you know, just this quote: You might say I'm the "common sense pill". I agree they're in the middle by this sub's standards, but to assume "middle = common sense" is a fallacy. Besides, "middle" is also arbitrary. I'm a moderate by my city's standards and a radical leftist by my state's standards for example. None of that has any bearing on how "common sense"-y I am. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/03/17 05:13 AM |

| 2 | [Q4W] Does this guy look too gay to pick up women?I think that amount of muscle definition is unattractive. I don't want someone who's always on bulk/cut cycles for aesthetics. I find that much of an emphasis on appearance to be off-putting. The men I like workout but also usually play sports and have outdoor hobbies and their goals are oriented around strength and fitness rather than bf% and definition. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/03/17 10:41 PM |

| 0 | CMV: Men caring about a woman's partner count and sexual past is a red flag.Women are also known for consistently under-reporting (and/or men for over-reporting). Not to split hairs though. There's just very strong social pressure for women to lie about not having sex and for men to exaggerate. I think overall medians probably are a fair-ish representation, but figures like that 25% are much more doubtful and often have a huge margin of error. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/01/17 02:54 AM |
| 3 | CMV: Men caring about a woman's partner count and sexual past is a red flag.That's my thought process too. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/01/17 09:21 PM |
| 2 | CMV: Men caring about a woman's partner count and sexual past is a red flag.So by those figures 4-5 partners would be a "moderate" overall history of sexual activity. Interesting. The distribution isn't on a normal curve though so I don't know that I would personally use median as my own measure of "moderate." But now it does make sense why someone else would. I also wasn't trying to imply that college students have more sex though, just using college graduation age as a proxy for adulthood and the time when people are looking to settle down. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/01/17 09:20 PM |
| 5 | CMV: Men caring about a woman's partner count and sexual past is a red flag.5-6 is like one person a year. I disagree that that's moderate for someone who's graduated college.

| 2 | [Discussion] Calculating stats of your real female - male equivalent based on statistical data [project in progress]A 6'5 guy is equivalent of 5'11.4 female, both extremely rare and I think a good match. That doesn't address what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that a 6' guy is "ideal" and a 5'7 guy is "less than," while a 5'6" woman might be "ideal" but a 5'1" woman is "cute and fun size." When you account for height differences between the sexes, a woman at, say, 40th percentile for women is penalized less than a man at that same 40th percentile for men. A woman at 40th percentile stands a fair chance at dat… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/12/16 01:58 AM |
| 3 | [Discussion] Calculating stats of your real female - male equivalent based on statistical data [project in progress]This doesn't work at all because judgment of the sexes is completely different. A shorter man loses a lot more value than a shorter woman. In fact, tall women are often penalized for being too tall while men have to be 6'3-6'4+ before that becomes an issue. So just looking at height distributions doesn't give you your "equivalent." Weight ends up being a wash because men are judged less harshly for being overweight, but women have more clothing and makeup options to boost their attractiveness.

| 3 | why do fair skinned women go sunbathing accelerating their wall hitting process?Cannot tell if you're being ironic or not. You know that for a millennium+ paleness had been the ideal in the West, right? You're just rationalizing the status quo with bullshit. Tans signal social status because people work indoors and a tan suggests leisure time outside. It has nothing to do with cancer. Before tans were cool, they signalled low social status because people worked outside and tans reflected that. If your theory had any value then we wouldn't have had that shift, and we also wo… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/11/16 09:48 PM |
| 3 | why do fair skinned women go sunbathing accelerating their wall hitting process?It's not a man thing. Look at magazines and popular models online and most of them are lightly-to-moderately tanned unless they're branded as alternative or special in some way. Hell, look at the women in Sports Illustrated -- tanned and shiny. I've had someone yell "get a tan, bitch!" at me out of their car, and I live in the midwest. The expectation is even stronger on the coasts. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/11/16 09:44 PM |
| 4 | why do fair skinned women go sunbathing accelerating their wall hitting process?Natural sunlight and UV tanning have the same effects if you're exposed for the same amount of time. I agree there's a class difference due to differences in makeup, skincare, haircare, diet, and stress, but the skin doesn't magically tan differently when you're on a rich-people vacation in Southern France. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/11/16 09:39 PM |
| 2 | College girl hooks up with dozens of athletes, rates each of them on looks and penis size, and publishes her findings as an academic thesis.She sent it around to her friends. As...petty gossip. And then it got spread around. I know I skipped the content because I didn't feel like engaging with this particular post. But one of the questions was directly about academic value. What this thing is is part of the point because calling it an "academic thesis" is suggesting it's been endorsed by the school, academia, etc. If this is an academic thesis then we might as well call forwarded nudes "professional portfolios." | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/11/16 09:13 PM |
| 3 | College girl hooks up with dozens of athletes, rates each of them on looks and penis size, and publishes her findings as an academic thesis.It wasn't made as "an academic publication" or a "senior honors thesis."

| 6 | "What kind of men do feminists date?"When you say stuff like that you only remember the Feminists your stuff worked on, and forget the Feminists who didn't like it. Lots of Feminists go for redpillers but you certainly can't make the claim that it's most or all without real numbers. Especially on the internet where one reply to your post might mean 1000 lurkers who chose not to reply. I'm a Feminist and my guy definitely isn't redpill. He isn't particularly Feminist either though. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/11/16 09:42 PM |

| 1 | [Q4RP] "Women don't love men the way men expect to be loved." To the men who feel this way, how do you believe men expect to be loved?Love means different things to different people. I agree shallowness overall is a negative quality but I don't think it's up to anyone to moralize what needs people prioritize in their romantic relationships and I don't think it's always an indication of who they are as a person overall. If you have a super good circle of friends, maybe you only need a little bit of romance and sex from your partner (as opposed to the "I want my wife to be my best friend" sentiment). Or maybe you're a woman whos… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/11/16 10:10 PM |
| 10 | [Q4RP] "Women don't love men the way men expect to be loved." To the men who feel this way, how do you believe men expect to be loved?I think people are fully allowed to have shallow expectations so long as they don't hold the other sex to higher standards. Like if your primary interest is sex, don't hate others when their primary interest is resources. That's a mutually beneficial (albeit lame and shallow) relationship. Seems weird to get outraged about. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/11/16 03:53 PM |
| 1 | In light of the discussion on pink taxes, is there a way to break down who pays taxes by gender, race, age, etc?I agree. I was explaining the concept, not condoning it. I think companies are lying about the pink tax being justified, but I as a woman also just don't buy those products. I use an old fashioned safety razor with blades that cost me a penny each (for the easy spots at least).

| 6 | In light of the discussion on pink taxes, is there a way to break down who pays taxes by gender, race, age, etc?It's an interesting question in general, but I'm not sure how it'd be relevant to the pink tax. The pink tax is about price differences for services/commodities targeted at women, not about literal taxes (though sometimes sales taxes on necessities like menstrual products are mentioned). Income taxes or overall taxes, on the other hand, are based largely on wealth and not demographics. For example, young women in large cities currently make more than young men in those cities, and so the women l… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/10/16 04:37 AM |

| 6 | A Hypothetical Match.com profile: Is she asking for "too much?"Also, if she finds a man that fits all her criteria, what makes her so sure that she is worth his time? She doesn't have to be sure. That's the whole point of dating. If she gets a date with him then she is worth his time. If she doesn't then she needs to lower her expectations or increase what she's bringing to the table. I think these kinds of arbitrary dating requirements go away for people who have common sense/personal insight and stay for people who don't learn from their own experiences. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/10/16 06:27 PM |
| 11 | A Hypothetical Match.com profile: Is she asking for "too much?"Income requirements make sense for someone who wants to have children and be able to afford insurance and school for them. That being said, everyone I know who has a stated number for that requirement usually sets it high and has certain lifestyle expectations. People who have an income requirement for a justified reason (like the one I mentioned above) usually frame the requirement with more tact and flexibility and don't use an actual number. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/10/16 06:22 PM |

| 1 | Do women (& people) want solutions to their problems, but just not cold, rushed, 'captain obvious' solutions?A better way to contribute if you don't know what to say (and don't want to sound like a bad therapist) is to identify the emotion they're feeling and acknowledge it. I.e. "wow, that sounds really frustrating" or "you must be so stressed. You'd think a good manager would take that into consideration," or "what a tough situation, I'd be so torn too" Etc.

Sex has intimate emotional and romantic value. Even super casual sex is intimate in its own way because people are still acting on carnal attraction and sharing something that they "save" for people with this special attraction. Putting someone else inside if you is very significant emotionally. That will never compare to donating blood or money.

| 1 | If you believe misogyny is a powerful force in western society, please speculate about why such an aberration was not killed by natural selection.The history of this is way too huge to explain in one post, honestly. I've tried like 6 times and I just can't condense it because it combines anthropology, archaeology, sociology, history, and economics and I really don't have the knowledge to do the whole thing justice. This is going to come off as disjointed and overly simplified, but I promise most of my assertions are rooted in some kind of fact, though facts can be open to interpretation. Basically, nomadic humans before agriculture had a … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/02/16 05:51 AM |
| 1 | If you believe misogyny is a powerful force in western society, please speculate about why such an aberration was not killed by natural selection.We don't have evidence of misogyny in paleolithic times. And much of our understanding of ancient family dynamics has been tainted with modern assumptions. For example, there are a couple different cultures to this day that don't understand that a baby is the offspring of a single mother and a single father. They think the baby is made over time through multiple sperm contributions. Also many cultures raise children collectively. The child might get taught to fish by one man, taught to make fire… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/02/16 11:27 PM |
| 1 | If you believe misogyny is a powerful force in western society, please speculate about why such an aberration was not killed by natural selection.For one, the concept of the Patriarchy is fairly recent. I'm not an in-depth scholar or anything, but the Western attitudes and systems that are labelled as Patriarchal mostly tie back to a culture based in Christianity (and the other Abrahamic religions). So for one, it's basically too soon for evolution to have taken effect. But secondly, no one has made the claim that misogyny isn't biologically adaptive for men. Misogyny is pretty useful in the economic system we've created, where we aren't … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/02/16 10:29 PM |
| 1 | If you believe misogyny is a powerful force in western society, please speculate about why such an aberration was not killed by natural selection.That's true, I was oversimplifying, but the point still remains that there's no reason for misogyny to have been bred out. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/02/16 08:22 PM |
| 1 | If you believe misogyny is a powerful force in western society, please speculate about why such an aberration was not killed by natural selection.A trait won't be removed unless it's preventing reproduction (either through shortened lifespans, ill health, inability to find a mate, etc.) There's nothing about misogyny, whether you see it as "good," "bad," or "non-existent" that would result in non-viable offspring, and therefore there's no selection pressure against misogynists as long as they find mates, which they do. There is no reason for misogyny to play a role in natural selection/evolution on a global scale given the complexity of t… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/02/16 10:29 PM |
| 4 | Two women talking on Facebook about divorceI have seen two 60+ year old ladies around here in fitness-related subs. They're pretty sassy. I'm sure they rock the grey hair. | /r/MensRights | 17/07/15 12:26 AM |
| 4 | Gender Inequality Mutilates the Bodies and Spirits of BoysLots of good points here, but I don't understand the hair one. The mainstream has always given boys shit about anything alternative. And currently, with trends like the undershave and the oh-so-popular-Manbun, it seems to me like hair is at its most flexible. I'm a woman, so feel free to let me know if you have had a different experience, but it seems like male fashion flexibility has more to do with the subculture of someone's region (north vs south, city vs suburb vs country) than time period. | /r/MensRights | 05/07/15 07:27 AM |
