| 1 | The Selectors Trying to Minimize the Privilege of Being the SelectorsI've never been to a pool during a thunderstorm. But other than seeking shelter (which they also do during a normal rainfall), I don't see people taking excessive precautions around thunderstorms. The people not walking around an umbrella during thunderstorms is more because of the excessive rain accompanying it rather than precaution against lightning. I don't think most people are too worried about the lightning specifically but maybe that's just the people around me. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/06/26 04:21 PM |
| 1 | The Selectors Trying to Minimize the Privilege of Being the SelectorsI don't think most normal people take precautions around a thunderstorm at all tbh. People just live their lives normally from what I've seen. Maybe it's different around pools of water but I haven't seen anyone behaving all that differently. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/06/26 12:56 PM |
| 3 | Feminists complaining about issues like women being objectified, or approached by men is always the most frustrating thing ever, due to their cognitive dissonance in their expectations for men in society.i live my life not doing those things every day You're a straight woman lmao. It's literally impossible for you to be creepy, no matter how badly you treat a guy. It's easy for you because there are literally zero expectations on your behavior for your dating life. Be as shy or as confident as you want, there'll be men interested either way. Men are asking, because skirting too much in either direction will destroy any chances you have and the balance is subtle for guys who don't have it natural… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/06/26 12:19 PM |
| 3 | Feminists complaining about issues like women being objectified, or approached by men is always the most frustrating thing ever, due to their cognitive dissonance in their expectations for men in society.There is a difference between going to a hobby group, seeing a person you’re attracted to, and talking to them Women also consider this creepy. So many women complain about this - they don't like getting approached at hobby groups at all unless the interest is 100% mutual. Even just approaching this way you approve of will get you branded as the latter type of guy you talked about, how would she knows the difference? Or do you think women never make mistakes in judging men? Not acknowledging tha… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/06/26 12:07 PM |
| 1 | Dating offline is honestly worse than online dating for most Gen Z men who want to date Gen Z womenWomen experience rejection. Nobody chooses to be rejected. Women don't want to guy with zero standards Having 1000+ questionable options without an ounce of effort makes it far easier to find a partner who meets your standards compared to having 0 options though. Women do have to put in effort to attractive a quality partner. Evidently not. Vast majority of women here when you ask them how to get a partner - "just live your life without thinking of romance, that's how I found my partner (when he… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/06/26 07:50 PM |
| 1 | Dating offline is honestly worse than online dating for most Gen Z men who want to date Gen Z womenWomen don't experience rejection tbh. With dating apps, there are infinite options of guys with zero standards. If a woman is getting rejected, it's because she's choosing to. And women initiate the vast majority of breakups and divorces anyway. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/06/26 09:46 AM |
| 1 | Could the sexual objectification of women actually have had a role in the rise of the manosphere?Attractive men who treat women as fleshlights get far more women than ugly men who respect women. The ugly guy won't even get a single like on dating apps. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 31/05/26 11:43 AM |

I mean normal tight friendships exists and you can make new ones as an adult. Most people make fewer tight friendships as they age. Did you not read the source I gave you? They listed multiple reasons - once people get older, they don't branch out into other groups as much, prioritize existing friendships, more focus on parenting, busier lifestyles, etc. … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/04/26 12:37 AM |
| 1 | Do Women Actually Believe Men's Dating Struggles Are Real?Are you dense? I never said friends don't exist. Lifelong friendships exist but most of them are long-distance because it's incredibly unlikely all of your careers and life trajectories lead you to stay in the exact same place your entire lives. And most people have fewer friends as they age. I can't believe someone is actually stupid enough to need a source for this claim but here you go: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1087290/ Given that: 1.

| 1 | Do Women Actually Believe Men's Dating Struggles Are Real?They may last for a lifetime but it's very rare you always stay physically close. If your friend gets a job that pays 2x as much the opposite side of the country or their partner wants to move close to their family, that will obviously in most cases take precedence over staying close to a friend and you're lying if you say it's not. Long-distance friendships don't provide the same level of fulfilment. When they have kids, they'll start spending less time with you and even later they'll prefer sp… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/04/26 10:21 PM |
| 1 | Do Women Actually Believe Men's Dating Struggles Are Real?Family dies, friends move away eventually and will always prioritise their partners and kids over you, neighbours aren't something you can choose if they're not good. They all satisfy the need for occasional socialization and some friendships can go much deeper but you'll never be their number one priority over their relationships (and most people are in relationships once they're in their 30s). Why do you think most women still end up in relationships even though they have all their deep friend… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/04/26 08:35 PM |
| 1 | Do Women Actually Believe Men's Dating Struggles Are Real?Loneliness itself is a big driver of suicide and depression. It is at least partly causal, lots of guys cite it as their main reason for being depressed. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/04/26 08:22 AM |
| 1 | Do Women Actually Believe Men's Dating Struggles Are Real?What do you mean? Women like you are incredibly rare. Vast majority of women aren't single. Based on the latest Pew survey, 63% of men aged 18-29 are single compared to 34% of women. Even fewer women single in later age groups. Most women still end up dating, though these days they prefer sharing the same guy every other woman wants. But women like you who despise most men are rare. Most women still form relationships at the same rate as before. Only men's rate have dropped. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/04/26 05:25 PM |
| 1 | Do Women Actually Believe Men's Dating Struggles Are Real?Men without relationships throughout their lives have an alarmingly high rate of suicide and have a far lower lifespan in general (said to be worse than smoking). I don't think it's women's responsibility ofc but men are dying because of it. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/04/26 05:20 PM |
| 1 | Do Women Actually Believe Men's Dating Struggles Are Real?I think there was a poll on r/ForeverAlone a year or so back which asked if the guys would go on a date if they had a 50% chance of being shot dead or something like that. I remember 3/4 of guys still answered yes they would go on the date. I think lonely men are just that attracted to most women that they don't care about their personal safety. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/04/26 05:03 PM |
| 2 | Do you think women's aversion of helping men in the dating/sexual context is biological or societal?I thought it's well accepted in this sub that lonely men have close to zero standards and swipe on pretty much every woman in hopes of any sort of romantic relationship? They show their interest in lonely women but lonely women never return that interest. While lots of these guys have never received any interest so have obviously never rejected anyone. Seems like an obvious conclusion then that there are close to zero women who can't find any men to date. They just don't find the men interested … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/04/26 09:25 PM |
| 0 | Do you think women's aversion of helping men in the dating/sexual context is biological or societal?But the men we're talking about don't even get matches to ignore. The vast majority of the time, these men's messages get ignored by women dealing with her other hundred matches. The problem is most women only swipe right on the few men that literally every other woman likes so obviously that dude will be picky. A guy with 2 matches a month, none of who respond to him, has no option to be picky in the first place. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/04/26 09:14 PM |
| 0 | Do you think women's aversion of helping men in the dating/sexual context is biological or societal?Loneliness does take it toll haha. Not really that much effort when none of those women want to talk to you though. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/04/26 09:10 PM |
| -1 | Do you think women's aversion of helping men in the dating/sexual context is biological or societal?On dating apps it's obviously true. Since most relationships form online and most men swipe right on every woman, women do have 100s of men available to go on dates on. Hell, r/ForeverAloneWomen had to ban male users because too many of them were asking those women out lmao. Not finding the men who are interested in you attractive is a luxury problem to have compared to not having any options to date in the first place. At least there are reasons to be hopeful for the former case. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/04/26 09:06 PM |
| 1 | Do you think women's aversion of helping men in the dating/sexual context is biological or societal?I mean, these women obviously have hundreds of men interested in them on dating apps. Sure, some of them only want hookups but lots of guys are desperate for relationships too. I very seriously doubt that some woman has gone through all of her likes and literally none of them were interested in anything long-term. The most common scenario is the woman doesn't even try because she's not getting approached irl. Hard to have sympathy for that compared to a guy with hundreds of rejections. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/04/26 08:30 PM |
| 2 | Do you think women's aversion of helping men in the dating/sexual context is biological or societal?Men swipe right on literally every woman, regardless of looks. How can they be even less picky than that if this behavior still results in zero matches haha | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/04/26 08:27 PM |
| 1 | What *specific* social missteps are common among romantically struggling men?No, because other babies have low social skills too. So relative to their peer group, their social skills are normal. I think what the OP was suggesting was more if your social skills are so far behind what is expected from your peers, then most attempts lead to nowhere. Most normal people don't have patience to deal with social skills below a certain threshold. Especially, not from socially awkward men. Women are more desirable to have in a social group (especially among men), so it's easier fo… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/04/26 07:42 PM |
| 1 | Men confuse their desire as effortEasy to say as the gender who needs to put close to zero effort to succeed at dating. Don't project your guaranteed dating prospects onto men. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/04/26 08:30 AM |
| 2 | [Q4W] Do women recognize the “selection pressure” men feel in dating, and how it relates to male loneliness?But young women aren't really single. Look at the pew survey - 63% of men aged 18-29 are single compared to 34% of women. It's mainly older single women that don't try to date. Most young women are dating, they just prefer sharing the same attractive guys now instead of going for average guys. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/04/26 02:23 PM |
| 0 | If men were to focus more on women's personalities and character than looks, women would have alot less options.There are also thousands of men who won't reject you at all. You just prefer the men who have options to reject you. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/03/26 09:00 PM |
| 1 | There is no evidence that double standards pushed on men are less "real" than the ones pushed on women.The first point is definitionally true. The point about no incels dating is categorically false - long-term posters on that site did get into relationships while they were still active members. So both incels and creeps have gotten dates and relationships. I think you just don't have a rebuttal. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/03/26 08:08 AM |
| 0 | There is no evidence that double standards pushed on men are less "real" than the ones pushed on women.Abusive behaviour is creepy af - it invokes feeling of disgust. These men don't struggle to date. Women should detect that behaviour based on your claim. Also some "incels" (i.e. members of the incels community online) do date. There have been success stories on the is incel board - though they do get kicked out by the community soon after posting it lol. So maybe they're not technically incels still but some of those guys did get dates while still being regular posters there. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/03/26 06:41 PM |
| 0 | There is no evidence that double standards pushed on men are less "real" than the ones pushed on women.I'm extrapolating your point. Your claim: Women can instantly detect misogynistic/creepy traits in a man. But since we also see plenty of women getting abused in relationships, it means women are choosing it since they would've detected those traits beforehand. I can't see any other conclusion if your claim is true. So why care about people who are choosing to be abused? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/03/26 05:39 PM |
| 1 | There is no evidence that double standards pushed on men are less "real" than the ones pushed on women.Why would women choose to date abusive men if you claim those traits are something all women can detect with zero effort? Do you not think abusive men are misogynists? Feels like a useless superpower if you can only use it detect shy sexless guys with autism who are too scared to even interact with women, but not guys who actually enact the most violence on women. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/03/26 05:24 PM |
| 2 | There is no evidence that double standards pushed on men are less "real" than the ones pushed on women.So we should blame women when they get abused in their relationships? Because you're saying every woman senses any sort of evilness in men automatically. Meaning women choose to get abused. Why should we care about that if it's a choice? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/03/26 01:50 PM |
| 1 | On a date, men are just trying to not mess it up. But, women enjoy dates. What does that feel like?A random dating app like (that could even be from a bot) is not an option who wants to form a relationship with you. Most bots are female, not male. What's the point of a male bot profile when women swipe right on <2% of profiles lol? No secret, one of them didn't even have a bio. I do live in a fairly densely populated city though. If you're living in some remote, rural area I guess the thousands of likes doesn't apply for you. Women have more options to find another guy if they do get rejected… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/03/26 08:31 PM |
| 3 | On a date, men are just trying to not mess it up. But, women enjoy dates. What does that feel like?I believe you. just don't think the nervousness is warranted based on the actual outcomes we observe. Men reject women at a far lower rate than women rejecting men. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/03/26 09:02 AM |
| 1 | On a date, men are just trying to not mess it up. But, women enjoy dates. What does that feel like?They are immediately accessible lol. For my female friends, I don't think it took more than an hour after account creation for the like counter to go to 99+. Most guys have fewer than 10 after a year of usage if the surveys are to be believed. When you have so many options available at a drop of a hat, the value of one particular guy giving attention goes down tremendously. Most women dress for themselves and their confidence, not primarily for men. I've seen women put in effort in their clothes… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/03/26 08:55 AM |
| 1 | On a date, men are just trying to not mess it up. But, women enjoy dates. What does that feel like?It's not flattering I agree. But it's the truth for most guys without lots of options. Though if you only date guys who have lots of options, then I guess you might relate a bit to male dating experience. And. I mean, they still find you attractive. I'm not saying men will literally date any woman. I'm saying if they agree to go out on a date with you, it means they find you attractive and liked interacting with you. Once they like you, you'd have to fuck up a lot on the date to not get a second… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/03/26 08:40 AM |
| 3 | On a date, men are just trying to not mess it up. But, women enjoy dates. What does that feel like?No, women reject more in most scenarios. First date, second date, making the relationship official, marriage proprosals, divorce, etc. not just cold-approaches. Men have fewer standards for being attracted to women. Not zero, sure I agree with that, but not worth getting too nervous over also. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/03/26 08:15 AM |
| 1 | On a date, men are just trying to not mess it up. But, women enjoy dates. What does that feel like?The point is men are nervous because on top of just trying to impress a person they're attracted to, they have to deal with the fact that if the date fails, there's zero guarantee that they'll have another option to try out things with without expending serious effort in the search. Literally zero women have this concern. This fact, along with men having far fewer standards than women overall, should help with the nerves massively. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/03/26 08:13 AM |
| 2 | On a date, men are just trying to not mess it up. But, women enjoy dates. What does that feel like?No, there are lots of options for relationships. Lots of guys are looking for relationships on OLD - look at the pew survey on this. The rate at which men and women are looking for long-term relationships on OLD is within 5-7%. And given there are 3-4x more men there, it's literally zero-effort for women, especially if you swipe on non-model guys who don't get a lot of matches in the first place. You would have to catastrophically mess up a first date to not get a second one as a woman. Guys don… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/03/26 08:11 AM |
| 2 | On a date, men are just trying to not mess it up. But, women enjoy dates. What does that feel like?Most relationships start online today. Unless you're living in some remote, rural area you have access to thousands of men to date. Most men aren't picky. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/03/26 08:05 AM |
| 2 | On a date, men are just trying to not mess it up. But, women enjoy dates. What does that feel like?There are infinite options online for women, and that's where most relationships start today. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/03/26 06:49 AM |
| 7 | On a date, men are just trying to not mess it up. But, women enjoy dates. What does that feel like?Because women reject men far more than men reject women. 80-90% of breakups and divorces are initiated by women. Men fall for women way easier than women fall for men. Women have far higher standards for men than men have for women (for looks and personality). Most women have virtually infinite dating options with zero effort if one guy's not interested, while lots of guys have literally zero other options without experiencing a ton of rejection to even get another date if he messes up the curre… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/03/26 12:15 AM |
| 2 | On a date, men are just trying to not mess it up. But, women enjoy dates. What does that feel like?It doesn't make sense to me why women would be nervous. Women reject men far more than the opposite and even if they do get rejected, there are 1000s of options waiting if it doesn't work out. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/03/26 12:11 AM |
| 5 | On a date, men are just trying to not mess it up. But, women enjoy dates. What does that feel like?Women do the vast majority of rejecting so it's really hard to understand why you'd be scared of that. 80-90% of breakups and divorces are initiated by women iirc. I can understand being nervous because of safety concerns but genuinely have no idea why women would be getting scared of not impressing the guy. You would have to catastrophically mess up the date for that to be a possibility unless you're dating way out of your league. Women interview men for the most part in dating. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/03/26 12:07 AM |

The men who are inovluntary virgins are far less misogynistic than the men who have the most partners. So if you believe he's becoming misognystic, it should be encouraged.

It's repulsive in guys. Since autism is mostly a social difficulty and autistic women don't have much trouble forming social relationships (most end up married and have plenty of friends), so there's nothing to fix really.

Lesbians orgasm at 1.5x the rate of straight women, yet they have sex much less frequently compared to straight couples (and gay men the most obviously). Every survey on this shows similar results. So even with zero chance of pregnancy, low STD risks, almost guaranteed orgasm, most lesbian women don't really have sex more than 1-2x a week on average (though each individual session tends to be a bit longer).

There are a roughly equal amount of men and women over the age of 25 who want LTRs only when dating. There's not more than a 5% difference in every survey I've seen.

| 2 | Why are Men's Troubles with Dating Invalidated by Women?Idk. Lesbian women dating each other doesn't explain it because lesbian single rate is similar to straight women's. Only explanations that make sense to me are women going for older, more successful men and multiple women choosing to date the same guy (probably a minority of cases though). Average age gaps tend to be 2-3 years though so idk what's happening. Guess women would rather share a great guy than give an ok guy a chance? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/01/25 05:54 PM |

| 2 | Why are Men's Troubles with Dating Invalidated by Women?63% of men aged 18-29 are single compared to 34% of women the same age based on the latest Pew survey. Most single men were single against their choice. Most single women were single by choice. Meaning every woman who wanted to be in a relationship pretty much got into a relationship. Same doesn't apply to men. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/02/08/for-valentines-day-5-facts-about-single-americans/ft_2023-02-08_facts-single-americans_01-png/ | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/01/25 05:24 PM |
| 1 | Why are Men's Troubles with Dating Invalidated by Women?I'm not saying any relationship. I'm saying with infinite matches, there will be men you like too since most men in the population have used OLD at some point or another and most of them aren't all that picky about their partners (again, not just hookups). So many women say that they're in love with their current partners but they never would've given him a chance on OLD because of random reasons. Women swipe on less than 2% of male profiles on average. I can guarantee there will be plenty of ni… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/01/25 05:18 PM |
| 1 | Why are Men's Troubles with Dating Invalidated by Women?You invalidated the point of more matches making it easier to date by saying straight men can also go on grindr and get lots of matches. You were trying to equate these two situations like they're similar. They're not. Having infinite matches does make dating easy mode for women. Men have other privileges and probably a better life overall but dating is 100% in the women's favor. Like zero effort needed to get into a relationship. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/01/25 05:07 PM |
| 1 | Why are Men's Troubles with Dating Invalidated by Women?You were suggesting it based on your Grindr suggestion. I was saying it's not the same as women looking for men on dating apps because women have a strong chance of finding a suitable partner on there. While men have a 0% chance to find someone on Grindr. So your comparison is weird. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/01/25 04:21 PM |
| 1 | Why are Men's Troubles with Dating Invalidated by Women?I meant nice as in a suitable partner. I thought it was obvious from context. Straight women are attracted to men. Given 1000+ options, you're bound to find one you like eventually. Single men are attracted to women. Many have 0 options. Since sexuality is immutable, you can't ask him to go gay like you're suggesting. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/01/25 02:00 PM |
| 1 | Why are Men's Troubles with Dating Invalidated by Women?Men on OLD don't even care about hotness lol. They just swipe on everyone because of lack of options. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/01/25 09:10 AM |
| 2 | Why are Men's Troubles with Dating Invalidated by Women?No nice men for straight guys because straight men aren't attracted to other men, so there's literally a 0% chance of success. Whereas over 70% of men under the age of 30 have tried OLD at least once, so any straight women who complains there are zero good men on OLD would have to believe there are close to zero good men in the population, period. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/01/25 08:41 AM |
| 1 | Why are Men's Troubles with Dating Invalidated by Women?To filter out options based on that, you have to have options in the first place. Most people go on OLD are there because they don't have any irl options to even filter based on those things. The people who do (i.e. women) aren't on OLD primarily for that reason. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/01/25 08:38 AM |
| 1 | Why are Men's Troubles with Dating Invalidated by Women?I don't deny that women like you exist. I just don't think it describes most users. Most women don't even try OLD in the first place and yet are somehow never single. Most men try OLD at least once. And even those guys are there usually because they don't meet women in their lives, not because they want to more efficiently filter out options. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/01/25 10:48 PM |
| 1 | Why are Men's Troubles with Dating Invalidated by Women?Not really. The primary reason they exist is just to find an alternative way of meeting people for people who aren't meeting romantic options offline. Most people would rather date someone they meet irl over OLD. Women can get away with not being on OLD and still have dating success because they get asked out on the regular anyway. Abundance of options IRL > Abundance of options on OLD, so most women don't need to use OLD when they can just filter their irl dates. Men need OLD because most women… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/01/25 11:08 AM |
| 1 | Why are Men's Troubles with Dating Invalidated by Women?That’s part of why there are so few women on dating apps! Nah, it's mainly because most of them get asked out irl regularly so they have no need for dating apps. Definitely not entitlement, but it's pretty strong privilege that dating is not a struggle for like 99% of women. It just happens as you live your life. Men usually complain because they're the ones who actually have to try. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/01/25 02:38 AM |
| 1 | Why are Men's Troubles with Dating Invalidated by Women?If you have a 1000+ new matches a week and still can't find one attractive guy that's on you. With straight men, it will always be zero on Grindr. With women, there's a non-zero chance of finding someone acceptable, especially with infinite matches. That's the symmetry breaker. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/01/25 02:25 AM |
| 1 | Why are Men's Troubles with Dating Invalidated by Women?Older and overweight women have it rough. They can easily date older and overweight men. Just download a dating app. Loads of women have given up entirely! Not really. 63% of men aged 18-29 are single compared to 34% of women. Even fewer women are single beyond that age range. The vast majority of women don't struggle at all with dating while young men are increasingly getting left behind. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/01/25 02:00 AM |
| – | There’s nothing wrong with high standards.Fair. I just wanted to mention that point because you seemed to be confused about how men with high sex drive can show such inaction in their dating lives. For some people, they're so far behind everyone else that even monumental amounts of self-improvement will still likely amount to lifelong loneliness. If all your previous attempts are met with failure, you will probably stop trying at some point. The pain of continual rejection can be more than the pain of ignoring your drive to pursue roman… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/10/24 03:32 PM |
| – | There’s nothing wrong with high standards.Ease in obtaining sexual or romantic companions. That self-improvement stuff only really works for normal people on a dy streak. Ugly, autistic guys who are way off behaviorally and socially from the norm would not benefit much from standard red pill advice. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/10/24 03:07 PM |
| – | There’s nothing wrong with high standards.I don't think the red pill works for autistic guys though. Who I assume are disproportionately represented in pill spaces. We have strong evidence that most autistic guys die alone and never marry, despite high sex/romance drive on average. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/10/24 01:56 PM |
| 1 | The problem with modern dating is that women are now in the driver seat but they don’t want to be thereBut how do you think men doing well on OLD is the majority experience? Most dating apps are 70-80% men and women swipe on less than 5% of profiles while men swipe on basically everything. It's literally impossible for every or even most guys to succeed. Men doing well on OLD are the outliers, not the norm. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/08/24 02:05 PM |
| 1 | The problem with modern dating is that women are now in the driver seat but they don’t want to be thereEh I think you're just hanging out with good-looking men more. Look at the stats: 63% of men aged 18-29 single compared to 34% of women. 45% of men aged 18-25 have never approached a woman romantically. Women swipe right on less than 5% of profiles while men swipe right on 60-70% of profiles. If you're hanging out with men who consistently get likes from women, then you and your group are the outliers here. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/08/24 07:54 AM |
| 1 | People who assume romantically unsuccessful men just need to "talk to women" more are naiveThat's exactly how it works lol. Personality is exceptionally stable throughout a lifetime. Most interventions to change them fail. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/08/24 06:25 PM |
| 1 | People who assume romantically unsuccessful men just need to "talk to women" more are naiveEh it is a popular belief that personality, behavior or mental health can be meaningfully improved or fixed. Actual results from interventions are less promising. Personality is very stable and mental health problems are highly resistant to treatment. "Work on your personality" is hard, because we still don't have good ways to make major shifts in personality. Therapy at best has mixed results for shifting personality traits. At the end of the day, knowing what needs to be done and actually bein… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/08/24 06:05 PM |

Contrary to this narrative, we find that the extreme misogynists in our sample are not the young men who report having no sexual activity despite intensions and desires, but rather the young men who report a high degree of sexual activity and experience while reporting relatively low levels of sociosexual intentions.
