| 1 | When self-proclaimed “nice guys” say that they are “good guys,” what “good” traits are they talking about?From "Radicalizing the romanceless" by Scott Alexander, who addresses this topic at lenght: I had a patient, let’s call him ‘Henry’ for reasons that are to become clear, who came to hospital after being picked up for police for beating up his fifth wife. So I asked the obvious question: “What happened to your first four wives?” “Oh,” said the patient, “Domestic violence issues. Two of them left me. One of them I got put in jail, and she’d moved on once I got out. One I just grew tired of.” “You’… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/03/24 02:29 AM |
| 1 | Can the mods please make a rule that comments saying that somebody is just lying about their personal experience will be deleted?Sometimes there is a generalization: "this happen sometimes", "this happens frequently", and then someone wants to argue in bad faith taking the generalization as a truism "my experience contradicts your generalization, therefore it's not something that always happens, therefore you are wrong and a bad person". If you don't give some space to generalizations, no pill discussion can occur. Generalizations are not truisms, that is, they can still be valid even if you can come up with a contrived e… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/12/23 02:04 AM |
| 1 | Rejection SensitivityNobody gets angry just because they are not a top athlete, or a millionaire. Those are nice achievements, but they come with obvious trade-offs in life. You need to pay a price. Not everyone can or wants to pay that price. That's life. People are well equipped to handle that kind of frustration. Without a second thought. But imagine a different scenario with college access. Suppose there's a secret list of requirements you didn't know in advance. You get rejected at the door after exhausting you… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/11/23 07:50 PM |
| 1 | Rejection SensitivityI wholeheartedly disagree. The issue is not rejection aversion. The bitter end of the pill comes from the duplicitous discourse where some people say a plethora of things because they sound good and makes them look good but it practice, their actions are at odds with what they say. It's hard to navigate social interactions if the narrative around them is sprinkled with dishonesty. In other words, rejection is not the issue. The lies surrounding when, how and why rejection happens are the problem… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/11/23 05:40 PM |
| 5 | "Treat women as human beings"I don't think I've ever heard someone being told to treat women like human being in some random, decontextualized experience. Loaded questions are rhetorical devices that constrain direct responses to align with the questioner's agenda. A classic example is, 'Have you stopped beating your wife?', which implies guilt regardless of the answer. 'Have you tried to treat women as human beings?' is a dishonest loaded question, as it implies the person addressed has previously failed to do so. Addition… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/11/23 01:54 AM |
| – | Women are happier "single" because they're aren't really single at allBut If at any point you change your mind, you can enter OLD and get action instantaneously. Whether you do that is immaterial. You can choose to skip meals with a full fridge, and you will still never understand famine. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/09/23 10:32 AM |
| 4 | What's the incentive for men not to be "toxically masculine", if that's what most women go for?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motte-and-bailey_fallacy | /r/PurplePillDebate | 31/08/23 10:29 AM |
| 1 | Perplexed by some men's insistence that, societal conventions about treating romantic interests with respect caused their lack of romance/sex and subverting that by not caring about them is the way.Everything is multi-faceted, multicausal and nuanced, ergo nothing can ever be said about anything, even in the face of evidence and gross cognitive dissonance. That is what seems to me to be your argument. And it is a thought-terminating cliché | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/05/23 07:46 PM |
| 1 | Perplexed by some men's insistence that, societal conventions about treating romantic interests with respect caused their lack of romance/sex and subverting that by not caring about them is the way.Quoting Scott Alexander: "No, I didn’t know Henry at the time. But everyone knows a Henry. Most people know several. Even three years ago, I knew there were Henry-like people – your abusers, your rapists, your bullies – and it wasn’t hard to notice that none of them seemed to be having the crushing loneliness problem I was suffering from." A man can be a terrible person without being a convicted killer. There are a lot of Henrys in this world. Things seem to work for them, despite being terrible… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/05/23 02:50 PM |

I mean, I understand the perplexity if you just don't want to accept it. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/05/23 08:19 AM |

And sometimes you see it coming from a mile away. Hybristophilia exists. Male loneliness exist. Both exist at the same time. And you can't hand wave them away. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/05/23 03:12 PM |

He is probably at his 6th marriage by now and this 2nd affair. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/05/23 01:02 PM |
| 1 | Perplexed by some men's insistence that, societal conventions about treating romantic interests with respect caused their lack of romance/sex and subverting that by not caring about them is the way.While that may be true in some sense, that is, the ability to retain a partner for a long time of a dark triad unagreeable person is comparatively impaired, you only need to retain a LTR if you have a relationship to begin with. And who is more likely to be in that position, Henry or Scott? I mean, 30% of men under 30yo are virgins, who is more likely to be in that position, Henry or Scott?. I guess that answers your OP statement. Maybe what you call perplexity is what others call "the angry pha… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/05/23 04:35 PM |
| 1 | Perplexed by some men's insistence that, societal conventions about treating romantic interests with respect caused their lack of romance/sex and subverting that by not caring about them is the way.Scott states: "An analysis of the psychometric Big Five consistently find that high levels of disagreeableness predict high sexual success in both men and women". Peterson talks all the time about agreeableness/disagreeableness in exactly this direction. THIS. This is it. We could ponder about why disagreeableness works and agreeableness doesn't. Or about what are the implications if you are just a guy in the dating market. But it is what it is. Not only with anecdotally evidence, but with serio… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/05/23 08:29 AM |

It's just the part II. It's the famous Scott Alexander post. It rang a bell with a lot of people for a reason. If you are a man who has spent enough time in high school, or in clubs, or in any social setting, this is common wisdom for you: wife beaters exist because they get tail. The respectful nerd good guy doesn't. This is an observable fact, not an opinion, agenda, ideology or strategy. The dark triad exists. And they are never alon… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/05/23 11:52 AM |

She is from the "women are to be believed at all times" cult. In an interview, Vanesa accused Esteban of concocting the plan she executed. | /r/PussyPassDenied | 04/09/20 02:18 PM |
