In general, men really really want sex, and are often misleading in their behavior when sex is a possibility. Overtly or not, men often lead on that a relationship is going somewhere when it isn't, and it can be difficult to tease apart I would think. As well, the way in which traditional dating is "difficult" is different for men and women. In times of disappointment, a man mostly has internal emotion to deal with, but girl potentially has angry man to deal with, which can be spooky. I'm not sa…

My point is that simply stating that things are "unequal" is missleading since there are instances, such as the one I mentioned, where a literalist take on equality isn't desirable

I wasn't using it as an analogy. I was saying that "equality" (or indeed any concept which one tries to shove into a single word) is typically destined to be full of contradiction if you try to utilise it in brief.

feminists want equality of outcome That's a red herring, as they (at least none that I know) want that When we see more women doing the dirty jobs This is also a thrust of feminism. As a trady, and a person in a fairly trades area, discrimination against women in trades is an oft discussed topic

It is "unequal" in a sense, but that is part of the trickiness of the concept of equality. If me and a person with diabetes both do not receive insulin, we are in a literal sense "equal", but that's not a system most people are advocating when they talk about "equal access to healthcare" for example

I get your point, I'm saying that actions may have more than one point. Yes, if the reason they were happy was just because of a woman becoming a CEO that would be stupid. But they aren't , they are happy because of what that implies macroscopically
/r/PurplePillDebate23/03/17 04:23 AM

So why isn't there celebration when men becomes CEO's? Because that would be symptomatic of men being able to become CEOs, which is already an obviously common thing. Why isn't there talk about women going into law enforcement? There is? Googling "women in law enforcement" has a bunch of programs pushing it.
/r/PurplePillDebate22/03/17 09:11 PM

No they are not.The point isn't "a women is a CEO" the point is "conditions are changing such that women can be CEOs"
/r/PurplePillDebate22/03/17 09:06 PM

Feminism makes a particular effort in order for women to be recognized because they are women. First women to be CEO of a company? Hey! That's good because she's a woman! First female president? Finally a woman did that! This isn't celebrated for it's own sake, it's celebrated because it's viewed as being symptomatic of cultural change.

Do you want a return to pre-emancipation in the West? Super duper no. Do you feel there is a way that both men and women can fulfil themselves in life without one gender feeling downtrodden? Somewhat of a trap question. "downtrodden" is a feeling, not an objective experience, so there is no cultural or policy mechanism even theoretically to guarantee it. However, I do think we can make society better for men and women. It seems to me that there is a lot of resentment towards women and a percepti…

I am a hungry skeleton and I have been called "toned" many times. Why do girls try and push the narrative they don't like guys who look like clouds?

A few primary reasons: Watering down of the term "Nice Guy" (to the point that it's a meme today). Nice guy just means someone who isn't overtly hostile or mean, not someone who is "nice" compared to the average person. It is especially applied to people who are overly passive. The assholes thing: Two reasons. People have a propensity to throw shade on a person who is chosen over them in a romantic scenario. Secondly, assertiveness is often categorized as assholishness, sometimes appropriately s…

Interesting. I may site this in the future. Whenever someone asks me how to become good at talking to people, I give the same broken record advice. Go to a bar/hobby session/whatever area there are people, and just talk. Rinse and repeat 1000 times, and you will become good at talking; it's a built in skill that you can practice but is difficult to apply abstract heuristics too. Good to know theres a modicum of scientific evidence to support my drivel

I think you're being overly interpretive if you are taking it as an insult. When people say "I'm falling asleep", "I'm starving", "I could eat anything I'm so hungry", do you get annoyed at those things being not literally true? It should go without saying that (within the original context of this discussion) if someone says something time invariant they are not being literal, they are not off the cuff making a promise meant to last their entire life

No, women generally have a lot of options, and get to interact with a lot of guys, so they're choosy BECAUSE they interact with that many people That doesn't change the fact that a relative difference in number of options (unless you think all women are equivalently attractive) would account for why some women seem more or less "flaky" then others. They CYCLE people, not avoid them altogether This does not match my personal experience. because SHE wants to have control over when where and how it…

I feel I'm doing fine, but the issue is that question is a little bit vague. I have a primary, and 2 (3, but I only see the one very occasionally) people closer to fuckbuddy territory, and occasionally have one night stands. This issue with the question is more that "doing fine" means different things to different people. If you ask a person what their ideal sexual situation is, it will vary pretty dramatically, and the amount of whatever they want that exists in society will similarly vary.

In my experience, women usually "flake" because they don't want to hang out with a person, not because they have some arbitrary random number generator in their head that causes them to miss certain social encounters. If someone flakes on a date, that means they didn't want to go on the date.
/r/PurplePillDebate30/01/17 08:59 PM

That's not true. A woman who is more choosy would probably want to avoid more people, so there would be a grouping there.

There isn't a true scoring system, but IMO men are much better off. Attractive women have an easier time getting sex, men buy them drinks, gifts, initiating sexual or romantic contact isn't expected of them The flip side of this is that women are constantly approached by men doing this, and it is annoying. People are less likely to assume a woman alone with a child is a pedophile. People are less likely to see women as a threat or danger. Defs point for women on this one. Though again, being not…

Easier to find sex (obvious), more difficult to find a good relationship. Because of the male desire for sex, we often misrepresent ourselves to women, which makes it more difficult to get a good feel for personality I would think. That having been said, most people date, and I do not think it is particularly hard for either gender. Just maybe a smidge more difficult for women

It doesn't have to be, things just tend to follow bell curves, especially comparison-based measures. It's important to note that just because some variable being on a bell curve doesn't mean that the things effected by that variable will themselves be bell-shaped.

Very few men are actually taught what works and most are actively lied to. I agree.

Most women who're out and about learn quickly to disqualify men who approach them.

Looking good requires money. Not an insane amount, but a good amount. Even the cheapest on sale suits at Men's warehouse are like $200-300. A good one is easily $500+. Plus tailoring and tax. Allen Edmonds shoes are $300+ you can find seconds for less than $200. Add about $150 for a good dress shirt and pocket square and a tie. Another $50 for a belt. $20 for dress socks.

We walk up, the four of us lean backwards on a table just to watch this go down, about 8 feet away. He goes in for the kiss, she does a pretty funny backwards bend over the bar to dodge it.

I have said it before, but I still wouldn't fuck the majority of the non overweight population, even the groomed ones. I'm not saying being thin will guarantee sex. I'm saying if losing weight isn't one of the things you've done, how hard can you possibly have tried to improve yourself?

Ya the guy may not work out and eat less. But that doesn't mean he doesn't do other things tho in trying to get laid. Out of curiosity, what things? That's because talking to strangers no matter the sex takes skill, a skill that only one can learn by doing it over time. Talking to strangers well requires skill. The process of training that skill requires you to be willing to embarrass yourself some of the time. Or that the internet has caused us to be less physically socially active. Interesting…

I think a lot of people who complain feel like they never get the chance to put in effort. If women say "Ihaveaboyfriend" the very moment you open your mouth, that's not much effort you displayed, is it? Does this actually happen, or are you being reductive?

My quick reaction to this is that a lot of people are probably too soft and self-satisfied to really get into how to improve themselves.

Well, I for one have difficulty gaining weight, but the principle is similar.

Somewhat tertiary but also relevant: It annoys me that people don't put n-count in the scale of social encounters. The connotation that n-count implies how "slutty" you are only works if you have all other factors held constant. For example: lets say two people are equivalently "slutty", in that their likelihood of having sex with a given person who's pursuing them is constant. People vary dramatically in their general sociability; some people go out once a week, some people most days, some peop…

It's difficult to say for sure either way. Interests tend to be syndromatic. When I go out and meet people, I don't have the ability to detect a persons propensity for sex. However, it just tends to be the case that people who I get along with (who share my interests cluster) tend to also be pretty sexual.

Sure it does. The more people competing, the more difficult it will be for you; if you have a race situation where rather then having small groups, or one racer trying to achieve some specific achievement, it will be the case that the amount of winners will be concentrated amongst a small group of people.

That would depend on the process. The statement I was responding to was "if a medical person finds out he isn't the real father" which could be multiple ways. For example, if the baby was tested for compatibility with the father because it needed procedure, I believe the father would be part of the childs record and the father would know. But if the mother (or whomever) just takes a cheek swab I don't think that having a q-tip in your mouth counts as a medical procedure.

Change policies on disclosure. If a medical professional finds that the man is not the father, it could be considered an issue of his dignity and livelihood rather than the mother's privacy and he would be informed. No, medical privacy rights should be essentially absolute. Allow men to use DNA evidence to get out of child support obligations, regardless of whether he acted in a fatherly role. This would mean no longer using the fact that he was deceived as a reason to give him obligations. Yes,…
