| 0 | Are Situationships for the most part, a result of women not being able to secure men they wish to date?The worrying part is that communication is becoming some sort of pandora's box. Communication is what keeps individual's perception of the world synchronized, but in the age of the liberal sexual market people seem to be more worried about losing value. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/03/24 01:46 PM |
| 4 | Is there a female equivalent of "betabuxx"?Haven't heard that perspective before, but everyone wholeheartedly agreeing with you means I'm probably confused. I've seen the term used in DIY/craft communities when women present work they did for their boyfriend. As I understood it, it is seen as genuine appreciation that they'd create something amazing for their SO. That's something different than the red pill context I reckon? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/03/24 08:48 PM |
| 0 | How is the second branch secured during a monkey branching?You think only women trade up? No, I don't. I like the term "trading up", and if that's your term for what others call "monkey branching" we are in agreement. The disagreement is that I find "trading up" evil (in either gender) where you don't seem to. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/03/24 02:41 AM |
| 1 | How is the second branch secured during a monkey branching?She is not leaving because she is happy but she will a tad more happy with a new guy. She is leaving because the incumbent is no longer meeting her needs. How is this different to a guy finding out he can land a younger/more beautiful woman and then dumping his previous partner? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/03/24 02:18 AM |
| 3 | How is the second branch secured during a monkey branching?It works for both genders. A friend monkey branched away from a bad woman because he didn't have the guts to end it when it was too much for him. And even though the woman was terrible, she is right to blame him for the unnecessary hurt of being instantly replaced. Pretending to still be in a relationship when you're clocked out is shit behavior. And I personally don't think shit behavior is justified by shittier behavior of other people. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/03/24 02:12 AM |
| 8 | There is a logical pattern in the manosphere that cannot be denied but also doesn't guarantee successno one had a problem with young women adopting " Bad bitch" mentality it's just their version of the same machismo you had in male hip hop before. IMO neither are good role models. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/03/24 01:42 AM |
| 1 | Is it ever OK for a man to push for exclusivity first?It seems contradicting to seek exclusivity from someone who enjoys casual sex a lot. That rule seems like a gotcha you can hit her with when she becomes unhappy and/or unfaithful. An open relationship or going for someone who wants exclusivity seems like the more stable option. But drawing an analogy to the "plate, fwb, exclusivity" progression, there is a pretty masculine thing you can do for the last step of the "flirt, date, relationship" progression. If you know she is ready but doesn't brin… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/02/24 02:04 PM |
| 5 | Is it even possible to "fix" the issues around dating apps?Children are much, much cheaper than retirees, who also consume resources without contributing to the economy. Children can easily roommate with their parents and need less individual space. The cost of medication and doctors of a retired person is a lot more than any material needs of a kid. Lower birthrate leads to scenarios where a few decades later, a larger fraction of the population is retired. This is a big problem in countries like Japan and Germany. You can play around here: https://ser… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/02/24 02:22 PM |

| 1 | How many men with net worth over $1 million would pay for sex if that means getting to know a woman that's much prettier and smarterI can totally see how even a moderately rich guy can only choose between a desperate woman and a whore if he has a really terrible attitude. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/02/24 12:44 PM |
| – | CMV: You can't love someone and still have sex with other people, and if you say a loving partner should respect that and not limit your sexual freedom , it is wrong and just a way to prove yourself rightIf person A has that mentality, you won't convince them. You have to convince the person they love, B, that it's fine to require exclusivity in a relationship. If B doesn't want A to sleep around, they should end the relationship, plain and simple. A can also decide whether conforming to B's need for exclusivity out of love for them is more important than their freedom to have sex with other people. Poly people and some bi couples (and even straight couples) allow that, not everyone requires exc… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/02/24 12:01 PM |
| 10 | Why is it that women are confused about why men don’t want to be open about there vulnerabilities ?who the hell cries on a first date? I once had the glorious idea that french onion soup would be a great thing to cook together on a first date. It is not. It turns out, you need to cut a lot of onions. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/02/24 10:59 AM |
| – | As a "blue pilled" M25, it's time for me to confess...Meet different women, and if possible do it irl. Many more signals to confirm how close you are and their current mood. And don't overshare. If you want reassurance from a woman, talk to 60+ yo ladies. Most 20-25 yo women have too much going on in their mind to be "welcoming" to some random dude. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/02/24 11:55 AM |
| 11 | That Time Someone Asked "What Makes a Female Creepy?"What baffles me is that a shit load of the guies will actually go for it if they didn't get anything "better" at the end of the night. That's how sexually starved some single men are. Many men don't need an emotional connection to fuck, and some even pay prostitutes for casual sex. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/02/24 11:25 AM |
| 3 | Soft harems and polygamy will be destigmatized in the coming generations if current trends continueIt's strange, your explanation should have the opposite effect for the criterion "had at least one child", compared to the "ideal" assumption of having only one partner for the entire life. One opportunity for a woman to be a mother, but two for men to be a father. That said, the numbers 70/40 seem a bit off, until age 49 its more like 55/45 (Table 1): https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nhsr/nhsr179.pdf | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/02/24 11:07 AM |
| 3 | Is passport sis a real thing or just a meme?The EU puts so much money into connecting their youngsters, doing an exchange is mostly a bureaucracy challenge rather than a gamble. Yes you have dedicated language exchanges from which more women profit because they tend to be the majority in language courses, but it makes sense since beside the common benefits of exchanges there is also an intrinsic benefit (practicing the language in a natural environment) compared to doing a semester of math in a different country. That said, things do seem… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/02/24 10:28 AM |
| 8 | Women tell men to look for subtle signs to approach, then say those are just women being niceOkay, some suggestions that may help you in your confusion: when cold approaching, always have a graceful exit prepared and be ready to take it at any time things go south. women come in different flavors and even if they are individually consistent with their advice, asking different women will yield contradictions. So keep your approach open and find out which flavor you are dealing with before jumping to conclusions. cold approach is hard to learn. If reading strangers isn't really a thing yo… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/02/24 10:06 PM |
| 0 | Men express emotions in the right wayYou are talking about communication. I am capable of that, and specifically asked about addressing the need for venting to regain inner calmness. Sometimes when I am alone and happy, I smile or hum a tune. Or when I am alone and sad, I cry. I don't do that because I want to communicate my feelings to someone or improve the situation with a problem-solving mindset, I do it to release them. And I am looking for healthy ways to do that with anger that does not involve making other people feel like … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/02/24 04:13 PM |
| 1 | Men express emotions in the right wayBecause I would posit that if you're expressing anger in a way that scares people, you probably AREN'T doing it "right". There is two needs that are met in expressing emotions, one is communicating the emotion to other people and another is to release inner stress. Do you have some recommendations that take the edge off, i.e. the venting part of expression? Giving the big metal bin at work a kick and yell works great, but that's only an option for after office hours. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/02/24 03:29 PM |
| 2 | What do you think will be the next big paradigm shift in dating and relationships after OLD?I mean, my five year old phone has a skin youngification filter that was on by default, in the default camera app. Never noticed it until a friend with bad skin pointed it out. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/02/24 04:21 PM |
| 3 | Is it wrong to "settle" because you can't get what you really want?Why should someone be stuck in a mediocre marriage with you? I mean, a mediocre marriage could still be an okay deal for a woman who really wants kids but can't find a good father for them, no? Sure, not for every women out there and if the freedom of being single is more desirable to you, you should stick to that. Noone should marry someone without being convinced it's a good decision for them. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/02/24 08:44 AM |

| 3 | Men on this sub are probably below average which is why they are strugglingLots of work to answer your question[1], so I only throw in that there is a correlation between body height and earnings: The researchers found that on an average an increase in height by one inch at age 16 increased male adult wages by 2.6 percent. This is equal to an increase of approximately $850 in 1996 annual earnings (or $1,590 today). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Height_discrimination#Employment_wage_and_social_experience_discrimination [1]: Research team of 50+ people and 5 years at lea… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/02/24 02:33 PM |

| – | Why is interpersonal chemistry never accounted for in conversations about attraction- only looks?It is a big deal, but it's a distraction. Life's other bounties are ready to be plucked, there is plenty of value in community and creation. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/02/24 04:46 PM |
| 1 | Why do older women not understand that most guys who end up with younger women are just playing the odds?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronophilia Here is some data which suggests that the median preferred age is in the mid-late 20s. There is clearly an interest in mid- and post-pubescent girls, but not by "most" men. Also note that p*dophilia is is the technical term for sexual attraction/fixation towards pre-pubescent children, up to age 13. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/02/24 04:08 PM |
| 2 | Why is interpersonal chemistry never accounted for in conversations about attraction- only looks?If being single is not "a life worth living", you should work on that. A relationship is not the solution. You are just handing away control over your situation to a different person who has their own motivations. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/02/24 10:08 AM |
| 8 | Q4M: have you ever made it work with a woman who’s has a past?The sane ones typically dislike dealing with inexperience in their relationship and having to "teach" a lot. They make great friends though and will give you good insight, honest opinions and the odd girl secret. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 31/01/24 12:29 PM |
| 1 | Being girlfriend zoned is worse than being sex zonedYou CAN'T. It doesn't matter anyways! If he was lying, getting rid of them is the adult thing to do as opposed to wasting your energy in immature shithead contest revenge bullshit. If he was just insecure, good fucking job you just double-crossed a honest soul. Prime wife material. Just.. end it if you feel anxious about it. And accept the consequences like an adult who is ready for marriage would do. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 31/01/24 01:23 AM |
| 4 | Being girlfriend zoned is worse than being sex zonedThen decide if that works for you and be true to that. When you are "finding your husband", you made the decision but are not true to that, because you want your cake and eat it too. Exactly what OP is criticizing in men. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/01/24 10:35 PM |
| 9 | Being girlfriend zoned is worse than being sex zonedBut this is the same attitude you are criticizing! If marrying is really important to you and your boyfriend doesn't want to, you should break up with them! Don't seek for an opportunity behind their back. Or tell him you can continue dating but you'll be looking for someone to marry. Or do you think "don't let your girlfriend stop you from finding your wife" would be a good advice for men? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/01/24 09:14 PM |
| – | The idea women are loved unconditionallyAs for monkey branching, men are usually the ones to leave female partners for younger/prettier women, or that has been what I've observed This is exciting, we have completely different experiences! In my social circles, which is educated people in their 20s and 30s, it's more often women leaving men, and coincidentally it is always during a time where she reaches a milestone in her career that puts her on the same step or too much ahead of their boyfriend/husband. I do have more guy friends, so… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/01/24 01:06 PM |
| 3 | Are relationship worth it?Would she place you as high as you place her. Many men put women way too high on their priority list early on. Some may let them fall the longer the relationship goes. For women it's common to do it the other way around. Kids kick the man down a lot though because they take a lot of energy and women are biologically programmed to highly prioritize theirs. Also, you will feel all sacrifices you make to prioritize someone else, but are probably unaware of all sacrifices others make for you. And yo… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/01/24 10:54 AM |

Civil engineer gets the task "build a bridge", and he will figure out actionable tasks for the construction crew and use strategies that worked in the past or adjust strategies if they don't work in the situation. Software engineer will get the task "make software that does X" and he writes actionable tasks for the code monkeys.

Describe her.https://www.datingadvice.com/online-dating/dating-sites-with-the-most-users eHarmony seems to be a big one based on personality test with 37m users compared to tinder's 530m. I think 37m people is still a number one can work with :) So it's basicly the first date you figure it out. Yeah, that's true for all OLD though.

I read the matchmaking section of a 1930s newspaper, it was basically all about rich women looking for an educated/learned man to make something out of her money (or continue her father's business) and broke learned men looking for women with money they could start a business with. However, I think men are also hypergamous - just in a different way. Yes. There are article… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/01/24 10:31 AM |
| 1 | Why are so many men subservient to their wife/gf?Keep in mind that in linguistics, there are often no clear definitions, and they may change over time. If your dictionary has a very narrow definition, here are some dictionaries where "dominate" is defined with several nuanced meanings, and each of them contains one that applies to interpersonal relationships and does not require an action: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/dominate https://www.wordnik.com/words/dominate https://www.britannica.com/dictionary/dominate "havin… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/01/24 01:46 PM |
| 4 | Why are so many men subservient to their wife/gf?"Attract", "charm", "intimidate", "disgust" are verbs that don't require an action by the subject. They all have an adjective with roles of object and subject reversed. Elsa disgusts John, John is disgusted by Elsa. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/01/24 10:34 PM |
| 2 | Should late bloomer men insist hard on "starter girlfriend" status or not?If it's a starter relationship, don't go for "living together". Especially if you have attachment issues. I mean, what's gonna happen when you have some bad days, you kick your partner out because you need your home for yourself? Start slow and keep your separate lives, and focus on how you can arrange yourself with having someone important in your life, how to deal with their schedule, and their and your moods. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/01/24 11:41 AM |
| 3 | Would you care if your gf hung out with guys she’s slept with in the past?The issue is trust. And I don't think controlling other people is a good solution. I don't want access to my partner's phone, I want to feel like I don't need it. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/01/24 11:06 AM |
| 1 | Pretty girls don't have it as easy as you think (although they definitely have it easier than most men)Yes, the sharp decline puts men and women back to the same level, until old age takes away men first, leaving a lot of single ladies. Some notes about the three reasons: Young people don't date early in life: I'd say there is definitely a difference between male and female here, otherwise it you wouldn't use it as an explanation for the disparency :) Older men approach younger women, inviting them earlier to the dating scene and giving them a headstart.

Doesn't have to be you who can't handle the disappointment, jealousy or alcohol to get caught in a fight.

I don't think good looking high status men really have this problem. Online Dating has overtaken every other ways of meeting a partner. True.

You can tell a random person at the grocery store you want to try something new, which soda/beer/.. do they recommend. Complimenting a nice jacket/pair of shoes and asking where they got it is also a great interaction starter. Practice that a bit, get comfortable talking to strangers, and if you have good vibes with someone maybe even ask them about their interests etc. Sooner … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/01/24 03:45 PM |

Women that are online dating will not categorically reject offline approaches, and you also get women who would love to get asked out but don't use online dating for various reasons.
