| 4 | Single moms are terrible at raising kids. We need to stop this culture of idolizing single moms and demonizing fathers.It was a mistake to become attached to him but it's not like he wasn't using every manipulation tactic in the book to keep me in line. So many men are in denial that psychological coercion is a real. You do it to eachother and plenty of women have it done to them in intimate relationships by men. My ex was a 21 year old incel/PUA who found a beautiful, naive underage girl from a broken home to claim as his own. He trained me well and I was utterly devoted to him, until I became a mother.

| 6 | Single moms are terrible at raising kids. We need to stop this culture of idolizing single moms and demonizing fathers.I'm a single mom, technically coparenting, since I walked away from an abusive relationship. Sure, I could have "picked better" but I was only 17 and basically groomed by my ex and trauma bonded to him. Being single makes me a better parent because I get to have peace instead of tirades of insults, yelling and controlling behaviour. Oh and by the way I was raised by a single father, my mom fucked off after their divorce. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/09/22 02:12 PM |
| 1 | Daily Community Chat MegathreadI can limit my interactions with them. It's not that hard when you're practically a hermit. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/09/22 12:19 PM |
| 1 | Daily Community Chat MegathreadI can relate to this. Part of me accepts the likely outcome of remaining single, but I'm entertaining the idea of finding a female life partner. It would be nice to have someone to share resources with and have intimacy. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/09/22 11:34 AM |
| 1 | Daily Community Chat MegathreadYes I do believe that toxic people exist on both sides. My current stance is that finding a man who doesn't exhibit toxic masculinity is basically a fairytale (I've never had guy friends and I'm a bit of a loner really). I'm starting to realize that women who limit their interactions with men just seem more content and at peace within themselves. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/09/22 11:29 AM |
| 1 | Daily Community Chat MegathreadI agree that men are part of society, but that doesn't mean it's impossible to create some distance. Like keeping interactions brief and to the point, not entertaining their interest, limited eye contact and smiling, etc. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/09/22 11:25 AM |
| 1 | Daily Community Chat MegathreadQ4W: Have any of you decided to voluntarily avoid men? What has it been like? For those who are bi, have you chosen to exclusively date women? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/09/22 06:20 AM |
| 1 | CMV, Sex is an essential part of a long term relationship, without it relationships lose their love and end badly.On the flip side, an active sex life doesn't mean a relationship is successful. Plenty of couples have regular sex but are just going through the motions. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/09/22 06:11 AM |
| 2 | Daily Community Chat MegathreadYeah I do think that people with a niche look or talent should focus on finding that specific audience where they will be recognized. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/08/22 02:24 PM |
| 2 | Daily Community Chat MegathreadExactly, it's having a platform that seems to make a big difference. It's like how some of fashion's biggest models/muses were considered average or plain in their usual lives but once they got recognized and given some publicity, people finally see them differently. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/08/22 02:22 PM |
| 7 | Daily Community Chat MegathreadI think the time that violinist Joshua Bell played at a subway station and barely anyone noticed says a lot about people. You could be one of the most gifted people but without the typical context, it won't be recognized. It shows that people respond to glamour more than talent and beauty. I think it's important to keep this in mind for those who feel overlooked in their day to day lives. 99% of the people you walk by in the street can't even recognize true beauty when they hear/see it, so just … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/08/22 02:06 PM |
| 2 | Female empowerment inversely proportional to nihilism in menExactly. I think there are many ways men can feel valued outside of being a traditional provider. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/08/22 02:07 PM |
| 5 | I think the vast majority of women cannot engage in casual sex without it harming themselves or exacerbating pre existing problems.P.S. the study isn't substantiating my opinion because it isn't about women having casual sex. It's about how people engage in behavioural excess such as binge eating and rumination because they are depressed. I used it because it touches on a lot of key points about the root causes of instant gratification type behaviours. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23554104/ | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/08/22 04:33 AM |
| 3 | I think the vast majority of women cannot engage in casual sex without it harming themselves or exacerbating pre existing problems.I disagree that there is a correlation between promiscuity and physical attractiveness because I think there are more compelling psychological arguments that can be made to describe why people engage in harmful behaviours. Engaging in maladaptive casual sex is compulsive though, even if that's not what you called it initially. And it doesn't have to come from severe trauma. Hell, with the cost of living these days I wouldn't be surprised if most people are secretly depressed. Perhaps your experi… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/08/22 04:21 AM |
| 7 | I think the vast majority of women cannot engage in casual sex without it harming themselves or exacerbating pre existing problems.First of all, you're coming across as defensive and antagonistic and I don't know why because this is a debate forum and I'm just following the rules by challenging your proposed theory. Your original post did not contain any theories other than that promiscuous women are generally unattractive/rejected nerdy types vying to make up for attention they never received growing up, which is seriously reductive thinking. It's an addiction at the end of the day, which is what I was trying to explain by… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/08/22 03:20 AM |
| 12 | I think the vast majority of women cannot engage in casual sex without it harming themselves or exacerbating pre existing problems."My theory for this based on what these women have personally told me. Which is that due to feeling unattractive, less pretty, less valued, etc growing up, they resort to sex as their easiest outfit for validation. Seemingly rejecting the fact (in the moment) that most men will fuck literally anything, and most young horny men will say whatever to get you in bed. A lot of these chicks feel like they NEED to give sex to attract a man. " My issue lies with this theory because women have casual sex… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/08/22 02:10 AM |
| 5 | What even is the "friendzone"?Makes sense but I didn't know if crude language is allowed in comments lol. I brought it up because I often hear guys use the "we're just friends" line too. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/08/22 03:32 PM |
| 1 | Q4W: How does women being able to"smell misoginy" line up with women who end up being in abusive relationships?Someone can have good intution about this but they may have been conditioned to ignore it. Women who grew up being expected to ignore that inner voice and put aside their happiness to take care of others may find it easy to overlook red flags. She knows on a rational level that he mistreats her but she never developed enough self preservation to know when to leave. If she was always expected to put herself last then perhaps it's just a continuation of a pattern. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/08/22 02:15 PM |
| 1 | Pill ideology is irrelevant to most healthy people capable of successful relationships.I partially agree but I think it is useful to be aware of the rhetoric as it relates to wider societal and gender issues. It's all good and well to consciously reject it, however we can't deny that it still affects us on an unconscious level. Normal, decent and healthy people? I can't name one. We're all susceptible to black and white thinking in times of stress and uncertainty. Women get it too. Can't tell you how many times I've heard girl friends say "men are trash" or who promote this diva, … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/08/22 07:16 AM |
| 1 | Agree or Disagree: It’s not that women don’t care about “looks.” They do. It’s more that they’re “turned off” by socially inept behavior and turned on by sexy socially adept interaction.I dated a highly attractive, socially awkward man and it ended up being fairly toxic. His looks seemed important at the time because I was in a low point in life and basically thought I was so lucky to have caught the attention of an extremely beautiful man. I mean this guy was always getting checked out and flirted with, by women and men. He could have had a successful modelling career if he wanted to. Yet behaviourally he was quirky and sometimes outright bizarre. He had this crazy cackling la… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/08/22 06:52 AM |
| 2 | Chasing women is idiotic and unnecessary.As someone who used to seek validation by attention from men, I realize how idiotic I was for thinking that these pursuits meant I was genuinely attractive. Most of the guys I've been with probably just played me with insincere flattery and vague intentions. I'm glad I know better now. What's messed up is that behind all these games are some deeply traumatized people. If we'd just listen to their back story I think it would be extremely sobering food for thought. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/08/22 06:37 AM |
| 8 | What even is the "friendzone"?I know this is pertaining to men being friendzoned but women get friendzoned too, in a different way. Usually it's due to the woman wanting a romantic relationship with a guy who is only interested in her sexually. They'll "hang out" and basically do what couples do, albeit in a "situationship" that is purposely left undefined. The girl misconstrues the attention he's giving her as an indication of impending commitment, and he doesn't bother to correct it or shut down their interactions because … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/08/22 06:21 AM |
