I'm talking about high value or low value in terms of self worth and happiness. You literally responded to my first comment by talking about people's contributions to society and the fact that people with disabilities may be dependent on social assistance, as an explanation for why they are of lower worth. You wrote something obviously ableist, but instead of taking responsibility for it, you are going back and claiming you meant something totally different from what you literally wrote. Whateve…

This was your original comment: What men need to learn is to dispel the myth of the successful casanova from their minds. You don't become high value by degrading women. And women don't become low value by having sex. Sexual encounters or "body count" do not determine your value. Your value is determined by how good of a person you are, how much you benefit society, how kind you are to the people around you, how mentally and physically healthy you are. Money and sex is extremely superficial. You…

Why do you think that being unhappy or having a lower quality of life means someone is worth less as a human? Do you think people living in poor developing nations with lower quality of life are worth less than people in wealthy countries? I'm not arguing in bad faith. I believe, in good faith, that ableism needs to be called out.

Hopefully he'll be in jail instead of public office. I think there are some positive things in this sub, but yeah, some negative things as well. It feels like less of a safe and supportive space. I can see why you would consider unsubbing. It's really up to you and your comfort level.

Ableism is sadly quite common, even in people who think of themselves as progressive on most other issues. But gradually that's changing, and there are more and more people who won't think your worth is determined by your health. You just need to find them and surround yourself with people who see your worth regardless of your medical conditions. The "taxation is theft" people can rot in hell as far as I'm concerned. Or all go live on an island somewhere with no roads and no clean water, because…

Your value is determined by [...] how mentally and physically healthy you are. This is extremely ableist. People with the misfortune to develop illnesses are not worth less than people who are healthy. Humans have worth and value regardless of their health status.

Well, you don't know these particular women at all, and since women are not a monolith, it's hard to predict what these individual women will do in the future. People (of all genders) stay in shitty abusive relationships all the time, unfortunately.

So what attracts you to red pill thinking is that you know people who are red pillers and they are in relationships? But surely you must also know people who are not red pillers who are also in relationships. Why do you see evidence of the former as more valid than evidence of the latter? But it’s hard to defend my position Why do you need to defend your position?

advice on how too get girls I think as soon as you're framing your goal as "getting" women — as though women are commodities that you acquire — you're already going down a dark path. I'd advise you to reframe your goal as building an intimate connection with someone. That focuses your attention on their individuality and independence, and on the mutuality and equality inherent in your relationship with this person.

Why does being single make you feel that red pill content is real and valid? Ask yourself what attracts you to the red pill, and that will help you reframe your thinking to avoid falling into that trap. Which, by the way, is unlikely to make you any happier or less frustrated. Red pill people are a miserable bunch for the most part. I'd also advise you to stop looking at red pill content as that will just infect your mind and increase your rage and bitterness.

Meh, as a definitely not flawless woman, I don't need other women to put up unflattering pictures just to appease me. I do think media sources should present a more representative and realistic sample of bodies, but I don't think that duty falls on private individuals posting pictures to their personal social media accounts. It's not their job to manage my insecurities by putting up pictures that make them feel self-conscious.

Do you rate your friends on their desirability as friends too? Do you look at people and think, "Objectively, this dude is an 8 as a friend, but that one over there is only a 6"? Is that how you decide which people to be friends with? If you are friends with a dude and think he's an 8, does that mean everyone holds him in high esteem and thinks he's objectively better to hang out with than the dude you think is a 6?

I have no idea who David Goggins is, but your comment is spot on. TRP men need to learn how to think for themselves, instead of moving from one guru to the next and mindlessly adopting someone else's ideas. OP, go outside. Observe the world.

So you watched some videos on YouTube — somehow taking them for an unbiased source that actually understands and accurately represents the results of research — and then confirmation bias has convinced you they are universally true, and now you're literally telling women on the internet what we want, and completely discounting what we ourselves are directly telling you?

yeah, no, i think looking at it as a "right" is def like... not what we want Having an expectation that this is the norm, the default, is a soft way of enforcing a "right." The fact that you're gentler in the way you enforce it doesn't change the inherent inequality. And that's the point I keep trying to get across.

In your original comment you said: we as men commonly feel like you guys try to grab at the wheel a little too much My objection is you assume you have a natural right to have the wheel, instead of your partner.

Like... im trying to be ex-redpill. How is it ex-redpill to think men ought to be in charge in a relationship, and women ought to submit? There's nothing ex-redpill about that. wouldnt she want that? that'd be dope af, right?

The reason I took issue with it is that OP is in a very vulnerable position right now, and I don't want her to feel she has some moral obligation to stick around and try to "save" someone who may psychologically damage her in the process (especially when they have expressed no desire to change). I've been that person who tried to stick around in an unhealthy relationship to help someone, and it fucked me up for years.

Why are you talking about crying? OP didn't mention that anywhere in her post. We're not talking about a guy who has some unhealthy notions about showing emotion; he literally thinks she should "submit" to him because she's a woman. You can work with someone who has trouble showing vulnerability. You can't work with someone who believes they have a right to control you. There is literally no way to have a healthy relationship with someone who thinks you are inherently inferior to them.

I'm really glad you had a background in this area and were able to recognize it within less than a year, and even gladder to hear you're working with a therapist and gradually healing. I think abusive behaviour often does stem from underlying insecurity. "I'm scared you will leave so I will do everything in my power to control you to prevent that from happening." It's a really twisted response to that insecurity, though, and I think the other essential ingredient is not having a good sense of wh…

I'm so sorry you went through all of this, and very relieved that you got out. I know that the flavour of your abuse was red pill, but this actually sounds like a pretty typical abuse pattern, with an abuser who starts out extremely sweet, very romantic, and seemingly perfect (the "love bombing" stage), and then gradually gets more critical, angry, abusive, and controlling. Have you read up on abusive relationships generally? I suspect that red pill was only the means by which he executed his ab…

You seem to take it as a given that men should be in charge, and your criticism of red pill rhetoric is that men don't assert this politely enough. My beef is that they assert it at all.

They demand men to earn a good salary, to be tall, provide money, and to avoid certain attitudes. An alpha male is a guy who earns a lot of money, have a priviledged body, and have bassically a jerk attitude. If you are not like that you are a beta male. This sounds a lot like agressive feminism demands. You don't understand feminism very well.

Start sending him good feminist pages on instagram like sommertothill or many others that have scientific studies info referenced if you can be bothered. Highly unlikely it will help though. It sounds like he's too far gone to be reasoned with and he'll probably just respond with gaslighting, or by temporarily hiding his red pill ways until she's farther along in the grooming process and easier to manipulate.

He's sending you videos to "teach you what men feel like," meaning (presumably) what he feels like. And what he feels like, apparently, is that you ought to submit to him, and are inherently inferior to him because you are a woman. You should end things. You can't reason someone out of prejudice this bad, and you can't persuade someone to see you as human. He may be sweet now, but that won't last. He's telling you what his ultimate goal is: to date a woman he can control.

Isolating yourself is a terrible idea and will likely be counterproductive. To unlearn misogyny, you need to be around people so that you see that all the misogynistic things you used to believe about women aren't actually real. You need to have positive relationships with people of all genders, and feel connected to your community, because a sense of connection with your community is an inoculation against the bitterness, resentment, and objectification that drives misogyny.

This is suspect to me, because at least for me as a woman, it feels the exact same way whether my partner wears a condom or not. I wonder if she was trying to get pregnant. Yes, you should wear a condom. It protects you against pregnancy and STIs. It's reckless not to.

I have no idea; all I know about her is a couple of paragraphs. I know nothing about her prior relationships with her family of origin, her peers, her past partners, or anyone else in her life. There are a million reasons why people might develop this behaviour, but ultimately it doesn't really matter. Regardless of its origin, you still shouldn't put up with someone treating you badly.

We have no idea what birth control measures they were taking, and I wouldn't want to assume. All birth control methods can sometimes fail. I agree that he allowed her to take advantage of him. I don't know if that's because he has extraordinary trouble with boundaries, or because she pressured and guilt-tripped him into doing it. Possibly a bit of both.

You grew up in a very different environment from mine. In my case, it wouldn't have been about "crossing" my parents; it would simply never have occurred to them to "forbid" me from dating someone.

Yeah, but I don't think it helps to get into "why did this person go back to someone who wasn't treating them right." There are a lot of reasons people have trouble ending negative relationships.

I imagine there is more than one way to be a gold digger, but anyway, she's toxic whether she's purposefully conning him or not.

She slept with other guys after they broke up, not before. Why would you assume that your partner being pregnant means it's probably someone else's baby? That's a dumb assumption to make.

What's the point of dating someone? If you value literally nothing about women, other than their ability to act as a status symbol, I guess there isn't one really. You can just stop at any time.

Honestly? I'm a big sucker, so I've foolishly tried several times to be the woman who could heal a hurt man, and it has always turned out very badly for me. My advice is to cut your losses. He won't change until he wants to. Dump him, tell him it's because of his toxic jealousy, mind games, and redpill misogyny, and suggest that he see a therapist. Then cut him off before he takes you down with him. Even a casual relationship with someone like this can fuck you up. That's the most sensible thing…

Yeah. I care a medium amount about height, and not even slightly about height or income. But mostly I care about intelligence, shared values, kindness, communication skills, things like that. Right now I have a wonderful man. He isn't very tall, nor does he have much income. He's shy, reserved, unassuming. But he's the sweetest man I've ever met, with a quiet intelligence, and he's exactly the man I want. Best relationship of my life so far. The shallow things don't matter all that much.

barely ever do we bring up how women are clueless about how the male mind works. I know exactly what is going on as do most other males reading this post. The exact cause is this a lot of women are perfectly capable of loving a guy deeply without ever being aroused by him where as they may get aroused by a dude who they don't feel comfortable around (for many reasons). You say the problem is that women are clueless about the "male mind" (apparently you think all men have the same mind), but actu…

Are women afraid that the "30-yo-wall-theory" needs to be stopped? Not really, this mostly isn't a real thing. Dating doesn't dry up when you hit 30. I'm just scared for young girls. I'm scared they'll be emotionally (or even physically) abused by red pill men. TRP teaches men to be abusive to women and the fact that it's spreading scares me. And I don't want to see this toxic misogyny normalized in the general discourse. I don't want it to inform policy. It's a disaster.

The red pill didn’t make them abusive, the fact that they are abusive is what attracted them to the red pill. This may be true in some cases, but we also see really young and impressionable teenage boys learn to resent women this way. I think it actively causes and normalizes hatred against women.

They will actually only get the bottom of the barrel women with low self esteem. High value women with standards won’t put up with their bull.

No, the equivalent of sex for women is ... sex. The line about attention probably comes from the fact that misogynists like to dismiss women as being "attention seeking," even though men also seek attention plenty of the time. People vary in how much attention they seek; I don't think it's a gendered phenomenon. It's also fine and normal to want attention sometimes, for people of all genders.

There isn't some magic set of things that all women enjoy; we are all different. Part of developing a relationship with someone is seeing them as a unique individual and getting to know their specific interests and tendencies.

I think it has more to do with the fact that there are vastly more straight men than gay or bisexual women, so if you're a bisexual woman, most of the people who want to date you are men.

It's not actually derived from asking actual women how they feel about their partner.

Yes, this. It's not objectification to feel sexually aroused by someone. That's normal. It's objectification to see them as only a sex object. I have never met a woman who wants to be seen as only a sex object. Wearing revealing clothes doesn't mean you want people to forget that you're actually a complex human.

Same. Sometimes my partner is tired and not in the mood, which is a normal thing for a human to feel like. This has been the case in most of the relationships I've been in. Men don't all want to have sex 24/7. And I've had people turn me down for sex too — I mean turn me down altogether, as opposed to just "I'm tired, let's do it tomorrow" from a partner. Which is also fine. Not everyone is going to be into me. Not every man wants to have sex with every woman. It sucks to lump all men into a buc…

who dont even believe that they can have an orgasm during penetration is just sad That is true of a majority of women.

It's just regular OCD where the focus of the intrusive thoughts happens to be your relationship — much like you can have germ OCD or anything else. It's not in the DSM because it's just a subtype of OCD. But you're right, it is strange that people are using the name instead of just saying OCD.

It's not a mental illness to not feel a spark with your partner. It is a mental illness to have intrusive thoughts and act out associated compulsions to a degree that significantly interferes with normal functioning.

I'm confused because you said this: If a woman has gone on like a billion first dates or have 20 matches at a time you're usually either more invested in the attention, or not good at vetting. Why do you think it's bad that she has 20 matches at a time if the only issue is seriousness?

Yikes, dude. I begin to see why you're not getting second dates. The whole purpose of going on a first date is to determine whether you're interested in each other. You can't know in advance of that whether they're someone you want to date. They're not "shirking accountability" because there's nothing to be accountable for. They're following the normal process of dating: meet up, see how well you get along in person, think about it, and decide whether you want to proceed to a second date. If thi…

I'm confused. You went on a date with someone, she agreed it was a date, and you think she was lying about that because... she didn't want to go out with you again afterwards?

I imagine it's the same problem as with every community resource available to help people in need: there is more need than they have the resources to meet.

I have no idea how many people initially felt indifferent to their long-term partner. It's not something people often tell you.

This is a dumb take. You don't need to have everything in your life sorted out to be a good partner.

It’s rare I see women take up for others like that unless something is in it for them. No, it's simply rare that you believe women are helping others, because you just attribute their actions to some ulterior motive. Women look out for other women. Most women have experienced other women looking out for them (with no ulterior motive), and we pay it forward. Women have helped me so many times throughout my life, too many to count.

Yup, all of this. We just don't operate like that. I never think of other women as my competition. I especially do not cry if red pill men don't want to date me. The feeling is mutual.

I have never in my life competed with anyone for a man. I have never resented another woman for having a partner. I have never worried that competition from other women would prevent me from finding the right man. This stuff just seems laughably out of touch with reality.

Many people have to trust their partner a lot before they feel safe having sex. So sex is something they save for relationships. Or so I'm given to understand. I've never operated that way, myself. I did some casual sex, mostly out of curiosity. It is often mediocre, though. At this point in my life, even if single (or even if my partner and I decided to open up our relationship), I'd only do casual sex if I had a good reason to believe it would be a sexually interesting experience.

Some women don’t even like dressing up for that. I just don't like dressing at all. I hate clothes and resent having to wear them. Maybe one day it will be acceptable to not wear clothes in public. It would save me a lot of stress (not to mention money). But yes, mainly I dress up in clothes because society expects me to look a certain way. It's mostly not for men, but occasionally it is for men (or rather, one particular man).

I wouldn't say it's a red flag, but it may indicate an incompatibility. I would be unhappy in a relationship with someone who didn't care very much about sex. But somebody else might find that ideal.

Also, why is a guy being a virgin implies there is something wrong with him? I don't think it does. There are so many reasons why someone might be sexually inexperienced. It's better to ask them about their life than to assume there's something wrong with them. (I mean, there's something wrong with everyone, of course; nobody's perfect. But I wouldn't assume there's something grievously wrong with someone just because they haven't had sex.)

I would say that only the first guy is an incel, because by "incel" I mean someone who buys into the incel ideology. If you just want to know whether a regular dude who's only okay looking can have relationships and sex, then sure, it happens all the time. Most people end up in relationships or having sex at some point, including people who are kind of meh looking.

I think the people responding poorly are making snap judgements based on their interpretation of what's being said.

So somebody that feel a strong connection with you, or feels deeply in love, picks up on your feelings and emotions really well and knows what to say is great, until they feel rejected, angry or upset. Then the same sensitivity is too much. I am a person with very intense emotions, positive and negative. And I moderate them so as not to hurt others, as best I can. It's not okay to lash out in anger. You can feel whatever you like, but if you act on those feelings in a way that is nasty, people a…

Either this is an anti man, anti relationship statement by saying men in general will simply lose interest in their partners It seems to be the flip side of the red pill argument that women aren't actually interested in their long-term partners and will cheat or or leave if they have the opportunity.

I didn't say that. Of course I care about personality. I also wouldn't date someone who was a shitty person or who was stupid.

I don't know about the person you're responding to, but almost all the random DMs I've ever received were sketchy as fuck. Often men will send you dick pics with no warning.

I understand him better; he feels heard and supported. I also feel more comfortable opening up to him as well. One-sided vulnerability in a relationship feels awful.

I'm getting it from OP's post: women apparently have an inherent value that doesn’t really need to be added to My thoughts, interests, skills, hobbies, opinions, habits, knowledge — all those are value added.

They are free to value whatever they like. I am free to think it's dehumanizing. We are talking about finding a good long-term partner who meets one's needs.

Easier to have a handbag boyfriend if you don't actually have to sleep with them. Maybe, but I think it's primarily a maturity thing.

Dating someone solely for a status boost is pretty immature, not something most adults do (though surely there are exceptions).

I think of settling as being with someone you are unhappy with because it's convenient or easy. I don't think people should do that; it's a recipe for misery.

You can’t get everything you want. There’s a very high likelihood there’s nobody out there that’s absolutely everything you want, and also into you.

Few men are flattered when a woman tells them that she doesn't feel sexually attracted to him, but he is great husband material. How is he great husband material if she isn't sexually attractive to her? Those are inconsistent things, unless by that she means, "He would be good husband material for someone else who found him attractive."

What is easy and hard is defined by how much of the overall population can achieve it in this context. NOT what is SUPPOSEDLY easy or hard. Then given that most women do not have a high number of sexual partners, it must not be very easy at all. Perhaps we should value it.

If the abusive person was manipulative, they likely spent years undermining those outside messages and convincing the impressionable child that everything that happened was the child's fault.

I don’t believe that a problem with housework in a relationship is a good enough reason to break up. It's not just a problem with housework. It's a problem with basic communication and support, which is absolutely a good reason to break up. If the only way you can get through to your partner is by living in filth and purposely making him jealous, your relationship is deeply troubled. You might want to consider couple's counselling.

I'm not trying to seem cold. To the contrary, my position on this comes from a place of deep love and trust. you know good and goddamn well if your man was out having fun without you, you would make him pay for it No, he does this a couple times a month and it's fine, because as I said, I love and trust him, he's there for me when I need him, and he communicates with me about his plans. I'm sorry you've been in some unhealthy relationships, but please don't project them onto others.

Um ... I don't? I trust my partner and if he has plans with friends, that's fine, so long as he lets me know when to expect him home so that I don't worry. I might feel differently if he always skipped out on me when I needed him, but he's a very caring and attentive person in general. We enjoy doing a lot of things together but I don't need to be included in 100% of his social plans.

I'm not sure that's true. I think if you're in a long-term relationship with someone who has the potential to become violent, you'll likely have seen warning signs (explosive rage, controlling tendencies, jealousy, etc.). Barring some kind of acute medical problem affecting personality and behaviour, that is. But I do agree with you that OP's take is silly and people should communicate about their problems instead of playing manipulative head games.

Once you are in a relationship with someone you are having sex with, you will have ample opportunity to improve. Women don't expect you to be the best sex ever the first time you have sex because that literally never happens; sex the first time with almost anybody is mediocre. We expect you to show in the first encounter that you care about our pleasure enough to try, and you listen when we tell you what we like. If you do that, we trust that you have the potential to be a good lover and you'll …

Connecting and being intimate is literally what leads to that pure pleasure. Because it's with someone we trust. Because we can let go and lose ourselves in the act of sex. Because our partner knows our body and the mental landscape of our desire: what really gets us going, what takes us out of the experience and should be avoided. Because there's enough trust that we can explore and try new things. Because we feel something primal and powerful when it's someone we care about. That's what makes …

You should exercise because, in general, it will prolong your life, improve your mental health, and lower your chances of developing chronic health conditions.

Most women are content with average-sized cocks, and many with small cocks. Are there size queens out there who aren't? Sure. Just like two people can be sexually incompatible because they have incompatible sex drives or sexual interests, they may also be incompatible body-wise.

Absolutely agree on both counts. Sex skills are learnable if you put effort into it and listen to what your partner wants. And there are plenty of people who've had lots of casual sex but suck at it — generally because they haven't worked at it, they don't pay attention to what their partner wants, or they just plain don't care if their partner is enjoying the sex and are too selfish to make an effort.

Sex in a relationship is almost certainly better than most casual sex. It's her ex-boyfriends who are your competition, not the dude she fucked a couple times before it fizzled. Her relationships are where she'll most likely have had the mind-blowing sex you're worried about.

Whether or not you have your shit together, you can be dumped when dating. That's just a risk you need to accept. Most relationships end with a breakup. Doesn't mean you shouldn't try.

Yes, I'm not a fan of that messaging (directed at anyone). I mean, it's advice worth trying if you're striking out. But if you have the opportunity to date someone and you're doing well enough to treat them with love and respect, I don't see why you should wait until your life is perfect.

He had a high school girlfriend briefly but they'd never had sex. He was single throughout his 20s. Was too socially anxious to find anyone. I think he saw his situation as impossible. In his early 30s, he met someone and dated her; they had sex a few times. They were long distance but it fizzled, because he didn't really like her company that much. When I met him, he was in his late 30s. He'd been alone for many years and was feeling miserable about it. So he's not one of those people who'd nev…

It will draw your partner in; but then, your partner's problems will draw you in too. Over the long term it balances out, and you can support each other through everything that happens. Your respective struggles won't seem as daunting when you have each other by your side. We can each decide how much support we can give to a partner, and how much we need from them. If you prefer relationships with people who have their shit mostly together and don't need a lot of support, that's fine. To me, it'…

I think the key question is: Are you able to be a loving and respectful partner? If you're a mess, and you take that out on your partner, treat them very badly, and consistently make their life worse, you shouldn't be dating. If you're a bit of a mess, but you're still able to support and be there for someone most of the time, you're dateable. Nobody's perfect. Most of us are a work in process. It's just a matter of whether you're able to assist each other's process, or hinder it.

It's fine to be insecure. Of course you would be insecure if you've been rejected a lot throughout your life. What's not fine is manifesting that insecurity as jealousy.

You might think not being in a relationship at all is equal or better that being in a relationship you don't like, but that's probably because you're looking at it from the perspective of a person who can start a relationship with her pick of hundreds of men who are vying for her attention any time she wants.

I guess that's sensible. I mean it depends on what standards are being lowered. Don't lower standards for the basic respect and decency with which you are treated.

Of course we do! Do you think we would spend money on sex toys if we didn't get aroused and have sexual needs? When women get aroused, the vagina produces lubrication, the cervix moves a bit up and out of the way, and the vaginal canal lengthens. This makes sex easier and more pleasant. The clitoris also gets erect much like the penis does — blood rushes to it and it becomes engorged.

I do support legalizing sex work of all kinds. I don't have a moral problem with sex work; my main issues with it are the potential for abuse, trafficking, and dangerous working conditions. I think all of those issues would improve if the industry were legal, regulated, and subject to employment standards laws.

The one on the left is slightly better, but I find both of them attractive and I'm surprised the one on the right is categorized as having low attractiveness. He looks perfectly normal and dateable to me. Whether I'd be interested in either of them would depend on their other qualities.

I don't particularly care whether or not you draw naked ladies. Art helps us express something, and sometimes that "something" is sexuality or sensuality, which is an important part of the human experience. If the thing you're trying to express in your art is that women are vapid gold-digging bimbos, I may dislike your art because I take issue with your message. (But you are allowed to make art that I dislike.) If the thing you're trying to express is that nude bodies are beautiful, or sexuality…

You can only say something is a nonlinear scale if it corresponds to some other numerical values in a nonlinear way. A linear scale might look like this: 1 hotness = 2 international hotness units 2 h = 4 ihu 3 h = 6 ihu ... It would be nonlinear if it looked, say, something like this: * 1 h = 10 ihu * 2 h = 100 ihu * 3 h = 1,000 ihu ... But there is no such thing as an international hotness unit. When the scale just a subjective rating out of ten, it's meaningless to say it's nonlinear, because …

The question was whether we're only into gym bros. Hence my answer was no. Also there are other things women place first above the way their bodies look like such as face/height. There are other things some women may place first, while others do not. We are not all the same. Some women care more about face, others care more about body, and so on.
/r/PurplePillDebate29/05/23 06:06 PM

And since it’s not a linear scale It's an imaginary scale. People just made it up. It's literally a rating from 1 to 10, with no real-world numerical values to correspond with, linearly or otherwise. Maybe people get done up a lot in your milieu. In mine not so much.

I think you are vastly overestimating the skill that the average woman has with makeup. Like, a makeup artist can drastically change someone's appearance. But most people applying their daily makeup just look a little bit more put together, not terribly different.

HPV mostly has no effect on your health. Most people clear the virus on their own, and almost everyone who is sexually active is exposed to it. Only a tiny percentage of cases turn out to be carcinogenic, and you can significantly mitigate that risk by getting the HPV vaccine, which protects against most of the strains that commonly lead to cancer. Which is not to say that people shouldn't do their best to have safer sex and vet their partners. (And get vaccinated! And get regular pap smears!) B…

I am genuinely surprised that people are impressed by this story. It seems mundane to me; that's the reaction I'd normally expect to see from the new partner of a widow(er). What else would you do? I can't imagine not supporting your partner in honouring someone they loved and lost.
/r/PurplePillDebate29/05/23 01:26 AM

I think it's natural to be nervous about that, because you worry you're going to disappoint her and no one likes doing that. The problem is, if you aren't upfront about this, you're just punting the disappointment to a future time, when it will be harder for you and more hurtful for her. So I'd just state that you're not really looking for a relationship right now and are just dating casually. That's a reasonable stance to take, and she can either take it or leave it.

That would probably be easier to manage. I mean, there are some difficulties that can come with mania on its own too: spending tons of money, gambling, cheating on partners, shoplifting, dangerous driving ... basically impulsive behaviour that can be hurtful or harmful. So it would really depend on how mania manifests in him. How people act when they're manic is so individual and some presentations are going to be more manageable than others. The depression part I see as less difficult for a par…

I don't think having mental health issues makes you undateable. Treating your partner poorly makes you undateable. If you take your mental health issues out on your partner, that's a no. If you merely have mental health issues and need support sometimes, but you also treat your partner with kindness and respect, I would say that's fine. In my books, anyway.

When I started dating my partner, he was unmedicated for bipolar disorder. A year into our relationship, he had a very severe episode of mania and psychosis. It was one of the most terrifying things I've ever gone through. If he weren't the best person I've ever dated, I'm not sure our relationship would have survived. But he's now medicated and is fairly stable moodwise. He's a really amazing guy and I'm so lucky to have someone like him in my life. So I wouldn't really recommend dating someone…

Yet we have statistics that show both men and women have less empathy for men, that women have a stronger in group bias and that women prefer dominant men on average.

What I took issue with in the post was the idea that women assign men to castes and, even when we are in relationships with them, will treat them worse if they aren't in the right caste.

I'm really sorry you had that experience. That wasn't fair or okay. Whoever you were dating was clearly a truly awful person. And I can understand why that would make you not want to be open with partners in the future. I hope you won't rule that out completely, though.

I would draw a distinction between things that you found unsatisfactory in yourself and things that you found unsatisfactory in others. In either case, though, if your date asks or if it does happen to come up naturally, it's reasonable to talk about it honestly and openly.

Perhaps he dumped you because you are the sort of person who would post something like this on Reddit, with pictures of someone else no less.

It seems like a paradox This is quite a revealing comment, because it's only a paradox if you assume that women are a hivemind with zero independent thoughts. The actual answer, of course, is that different women like different things, and you're never going to appeal to all of them at once.

I want to have you as a partner because you have all the qualities I'm looking for in a partner... oh and also you meet my physical attractiveness threshold unlike other people I dated I mean, on a first date I don't generally trash talk prior unsuccessful dates; that would be tasteless.

Why would that surprise you? I would be even pickier if I had kids because you're not just adding someone to your life; you're adding someone to their lives too. And children are so impressionable and vulnerable. It likely seems better to stay single than to bring the wrong person into your family.

I'm not quite sure how this responds to my comment. What is the "caste" system you are proposing and how do women treat men differently in a relationship depending on what "caste" he is in? That was what I took issue with in my comment. men are expected to pay for the date and ask women out all the while I imagine if they specifically sought more egalitarian partners, they might have to pay less often. But many of them seem to want women who are less progressive and more likely to have gendered …

Perhaps you should believe specific women when they tell you what they specifically like, because we are not all the same, and you haven't dated all of us. I don't think it reflects poorly on me or anyone that we care about appearance as a factor in dating. People of course want to date people they are physically attracted to. It's a sine qua non of dating. But I think it's also usually the case that people have other requirements that they are looking for in a partner as well. I know I do.
