I believe it was mentioned on The Student Room.

Apart from his clear plans to discard them like clockwork. That's not something you do when you care about someone. You actually don't want to leave them.
/r/PurplePillDebate13/01/26 07:18 PM

I didn't say anything about their choices. I was just pondering whether Leonardo DiCaprio actually liked them very much, and it doesn't seem like he does.
/r/PurplePillDebate13/01/26 07:14 PM

If you actually like someone, a breakup over incompatible life choices is heartbreaking, and it's just not something anyone would choose on purpose. He could just date women who don't want children.
/r/PurplePillDebate13/01/26 07:09 PM

He doesn't have any children as far as I'm aware. He's also not staying with them, he's leaving them.
/r/PurplePillDebate13/01/26 05:40 PM

Yes, he ritualistically discards them.
/r/PurplePillDebate13/01/26 01:12 PM

Most of the statistics on maps of this kind are essentially completely made up.
/r/PurplePillDebate13/01/26 07:04 AM

He clearly doesn't find them that attractive, otherwise he wouldn't ritualistically discard them.

I've only really come across people who've done it because one of both had a significant move. So either they do it at a location tied to them and most count it as a destination wedding (I did this) or they go to an unrelated location because most would have to travel anyway so might as well make it somewhere nice.
/r/PurplePillDebate12/01/26 04:24 PM

That is literally the point of work. No you are not the only one.

He's not just "dressing like" a slob, he is a slob who is presumably not washing his clothes. He's dressing like a broke student who hasn't made friends with the washing machine and he's probably going to expect her to do all his chores.
/r/PurplePillDebate11/01/26 09:13 AM

If you did, you would tell him.

Say what you want but you're not going to normalise incest. Even people in those relationships have a gut response that something is very wrong. And of course if they're different generations then there is an inherent power imbalance that never goes away, if someone is your parent, aunt, uncle, or grandparent they always have that role and will not be on a peer level. I think this is also true of the relationship between older and younger siblings. (Cousins is a bit different but it's a bit more…
/r/PurplePillDebate10/01/26 05:44 PM

It's really unfortunate due to how many children are born from those marriages with severe disabilities. It's not so risky to have a child with your cousin, but if both of you are children of cousin marriages, the gene pool is small.

They're usually just throwing words around without really knowing what they mean, making up the definitions as they go along.

You can't actually get divorced before being married for one year where I'm from. Only an annulment, if you're eligible.

My sister is nineteen, and in a relationship, and will only date someone who's also Irish.

If you're the default parent then you often simply don't have time or mental space to worry about your own health never mind your looks, especially as most will work now on top of being expected to do nearly all the childcare when they're not working. You'll eat more due to stress, have barely time to cook never mind get something healthy, and you can forget about even thinking about exercise for a few years.
/r/PurplePillDebate09/01/26 07:18 PM

See, I'd take issue with those comments if everything went as you say. I think the response to the other person was more appropriate.
/r/PurplePillDebate09/01/26 06:35 PM

Well, what would that question even achieve? You can't force a feeling like attraction and even top science has barely scratched the surface of how it works and why we may feel that way, love is one of the greatest human mysteries. It's not like she can just reconsider then suddenly start feeling attracted.
/r/PurplePillDebate09/01/26 04:26 PM

Because you can't afford to pay for two houses at once? I guess that makes most people losers.
/r/PurplePillDebate09/01/26 01:25 PM

It doesn't make you a loser to be in that situation temporarily, it's just unfortunate on both sides.
/r/PurplePillDebate09/01/26 08:12 AM

Housing is expensive and tough to find in many places, and you can't get out of a mortgage or rental agreement immediately. It must be so awkward to be in that situation though.
/r/PurplePillDebate09/01/26 07:42 AM

They would love to be loved for anything other than their looks, yet they know that's often unrealistic, so better improve your looks and draw attention to them to have a shot at love.
/r/PurplePillDebate08/01/26 08:27 PM

They would love, so much, to be wanted for anything but their body. They want their body to be irrelevant so badly. They would be ecstatic to be loved no matter what they look like because their body doesn't matter. They want to be desired for who they are. They don't want to be called ugly and told their body looks unattractive because that shows that their body does matter.
/r/PurplePillDebate08/01/26 07:34 PM

Women YEARN to be loved regardless of how they look.
/r/PurplePillDebate08/01/26 07:14 PM

Women DREAM of being wanted for their personality. It is the ultimate romantic fantasy for women.

I got to know him a lot as a friend. We were very close. The information I learned about him after asking him out was significant and contained things that may have been dealbreakers that I didn't know before. It's a whole other side of his personality I also had to get along with. It's not just about being one-dimensional "good" or "bad", people can be incompatible in various ways.

My husband and I were before our relationship and still are very close friends. There was definitely information revealed after our relationship became romantic. Sure, we knew the all facts about each other you'd tell a best friend, but not the intimate details you'd only tell a partner (not necessarily sexual but just a different kind of vulnerable). We each had no idea how the other would be in terms of sex, or what it would be like to live together. I got to know an even sweeter, cuter, more …

Treatment can cost nothing, or if you're unlucky enough to have to pay for healthcare you may have enough to afford both. If you can't get money together then obviously you won't.

I don't know much about those parties, and it isn't an issue of just one party or side having systematic sexism. All major parties across the world do.
/r/PurplePillDebate07/01/26 01:19 PM

I can imagine that very well. I also don't need to imagine; men do that, quite a lot actually.
/r/PurplePillDebate06/01/26 10:46 PM

Please don't use the word "statistically" if you're going to say that a range of data is any kind of average. You're thinking about the medical, probably, which would be the value in the middle of that range of a normal distribution (I assume that's what you're referring to with the 68%). This data set wouldn't be a normal distribution though so you're just very confused.

Whatever, they're less likely than similar men. I'm sure you'd be a very competent PM despite not supporting or thinking you benefit from people who aren't exactly like you. Quotas by definition don't make the lists in favour of anyone, they make them representative. You can't pick which white man you specifically want to vote for, picking candidates is not a liberty you had to begin with so you're not losing any in this case.

Because they're human I suppose. It's rather relevant and people often think that giving "warnings" is doing a favour. It might help for someone to get some money together or find a family member that they can live with of their partner leaves them. It's pretty normal to have general social welfare leaflets around hospitals, libraries, council buildings, etc even if the visitors aren't expected to be at particular risk, these are just giving advice which I assume you'd agree is not spreading any…

I'm talking about competent women here. They have a worse chance at succeeding than men who are a bit less competent. Quotas still let you vote for who you want, voters never get to pick the candidate list themselves in any system.

Who says that they lied? You really don't think doctors and nurses can believe things that are based on little evidence or even false? Working as a professional I know of several myths or baseless practices in my field that are still believed and practiced by some colleagues (fyi "learning styles" are not real). I know of doctors and nurses that are anti vax!

The work needed to establish a political party can take millions of people and decades of years. No one candidate is able to "put in the work" all by themselves and you wouldn't criticise a male candidate this way. Women have an unequal chance to run for political office as those chances are not given to them, they have a bad chance of getting taken on by a party and an awful chance of running independently. Women know they will not be successful, that's why they run for office less, as they see…

It's completely physically possible. A few months of sabbatical to recover from a couple of pregnancies won't stop you from being a CEO or politician. You're talking about childcare, which mothers don't need to do.

Being the main child carer is a huge woman penalty. It's not they like the have to be the default parent. Similar effects are seen even if a woman doesn't have children due to perceptions, for example women are less likely to be hired if they use Mrs.

I think the other facets you're looking for are party ideology, internalised sexism and race. Surely you're not arguing Trump is more competent than Harris (note I'm talking about competency, not agreeing with their ideology).

It's not just about voting. Parties decide to put forward less female candidates and they're less likely to be in safe seats. The decisions about who ends up in parliament/government happen mainly at the party political level and it's an old boys' club with no incentive to change. I have voted in an election with over five candidates and all were male, another one where there was only one female candidate in a party that would never ever get a seat in that area, how could I make a move for equal…

Most women (or men, for that matter) I know aren't currently long-term single. That wasn't the question.
/r/PurplePillDebate06/01/26 07:26 AM

Maybe your social circle is unusual or are you just assuming things about their sex lives?
/r/PurplePillDebate06/01/26 07:12 AM

Most of them, probably.
/r/PurplePillDebate06/01/26 06:16 AM

That's just in the past year. They may also have been in a relationship/sleeping with someone at any point in the year but celibate for most of it and wouldn't count.
/r/PurplePillDebate06/01/26 06:15 AM

I don't think most people see it as gender-neutral at all. Most people would also say it is wrong and bad and reason to end a relationship, but your friends are supportive for some reason.
/r/PurplePillDebate06/01/26 06:07 AM

When was that "discovered" and why do you seem under the impression this is a widely-known fact? And why do all your friends support cheating?
/r/PurplePillDebate05/01/26 10:33 PM

If you only lightly wipe the crumbs off the countertop, it's not done. It's not safe to prepare food there and it will get dirtier again quicker. If you leave the dishes until later, they're obviously not done at all, and this creates more work for later as they'll be done quicker the earlier you do them.
/r/PurplePillDebate05/01/26 06:52 PM

I don't see it that way personally, but I guess I'm married with no plans to have children. Economic pessimism has certainly increased but in reality living standards have generally been going up.
/r/PurplePillDebate05/01/26 06:41 PM

The marriage rate is also falling. There are more married couples without children now I guess, but the rising numbers of people without children is driven by unmarried people.

By "fine" you mean "inefficiently, leaving more work to be done later, probably by someone else".
/r/PurplePillDebate05/01/26 04:45 PM

After waiting. It's not really "waiting" in that it's not intentional, just doing it only when we're both ready and not rushing it.

The examples you give of what "women" would want just reflect someone who's probably actually doing most of the chores and is doing a little bit every day rather than waiting for a big mess that's harder to clean up later. (The earlier you do your dishes the shorter the time it will take!)
/r/PurplePillDebate05/01/26 07:02 AM

No, I just see sex as something to do with someone you know well and are fully comfortable with. It's one of the most vulnerable things someone can do and comes with significant risks, so naturally you may want to actually be close with those you do it with.

I'm not talking about "house chores" kind of work. Those men would generally do similar work. The world over most men and women have usually done farming, they'd do that together. Then where I'm from both men and women would do spinning and weaving, women would do it at home a bit more often though. After that was a shift to modern work. Unless you're trying to argue WFH isn't work, or minimum wage isn't work, women have always worked.

Oh yeah gambling is big, but I wouldn't call much of that investment or money management.
/r/PurplePillDebate04/01/26 03:11 PM

And you know it's the same women doing these things how? Have you considered that different women are perhaps different? Occam's razor suggests that there's a group of kinky women that keep enjoying it and a separate group of non-kinky women who don't, instead of all women liking one type of sex then suddenly deciding they hate it for mysterious reasons.

Normally investments are just your pension and low risk stuff. The men I know are often into government bonds for some reason, which are not great in general but not exactly risky. Although maybe UK and Ireland just have pretty risk averse cultures compared to yours.

How many men do have children but don't "officially"? That barely ever happens to women for obvious reasons.
/r/PurplePillDebate04/01/26 02:36 PM

The idea behind it is that someone who is stressed and tired from doing too much housework isn't likely to feel horny or have energy for sex, so pulling your weight with chores will help. With that said my husband can seduce me with his cooking but I think he's just that good at it.

Investment is household management. Someone with less working hours will usually pick more of it up as they pick up other chores. It doesn't need a great deal of competency imo but there are probably other reasons why men may prefer it.

It depends on how and when it's used. Sometimes women and children are helpful to be bundled together, for example when describing who a maternity hospital serves or who might be vulnerable to domestic abuse from men, and sometimes it's less useful.

Breadwinners don't usually manage money (as said by others that's what your study is really measuring, not what they put in) as much as their partners as they're generally busier with making money. Making purchases and choosing financial products are chores they may not have as much time to do (I suppose men generally prefer those chores too). Checks out in my relationship, I earn and put in more but it means I have less time for managing how it's saved and spent than my husband.

I moved from Northern Ireland to England when I was 18 for university, stayed in that city until I was 23, then moved to a different city in England a few months back.

I don't think anyone should do 50/50 by default unless they earn the same because it's not fair. A lower earning partner could end up with little to nothing for themselves and a loving partner wouldn't let them do that.

Well you don't do it outside the bedroom generally. And it's normal to pretend/exaggerate for a bit of fun outside a sexual context too. It's also normal to do things for fun in the bedroom that might look silly in another context.

I think it's UK law (or just NI law) as at my city hall (registry office) wedding the (secular) registrar said it. I think the point of it is to say if one of them is already married or the other one's siblings or forced into it or something, it's also just traditional.

It's impossible to write an exhaustive list of things that are creepy and what's creepy will depend on context. You're essentially asking "how do I socialise in an appropriate way" and it would take writing a whole book to scratch the surface of that, people generally learn this in childhood taking years to do it.

I mean, your penis doesn't stay hard after you've finished and isn't available 24/7. It also might not have other fun features that other toys have like having a vibrator attached. And if you're using just your penis and expecting it to be "good enough" your partner will almost certainly need to stimulate herself to get off, most women don't orgasm that way. (My husband owns multiple strokers and I think they do a great job.)

/r/PurplePillDebate29/12/25 09:54 AM

"Western" countries aren't all the same. I live a swimmable distance to France and it's still culturally very different. Who says they think an American life is better? Even if they happen to want to live there (they could've just moved already if they wanted to), there will still be difficulties that someone from the country wouldn't experience. But in all likelihood if they move they'll move for you and that will build resentment.

I'm not trying to label them, I'm just saying certain types of holidays will attract certain types of people, as that one did.

Any animal that doesn't do anything productive to help them and/or others survive isn't having sex and in many cases will just be left by other animals to go die or whatever.

Off the top of my head, Captain Marvel, Ballerina, A Court of Thorns and Roses, basically any film from the YA dystopia craze.

A man could certainly embody a feminine role and be a dom or any other role, emasculation doesn't require domination even if it normally involves it. Humiliation is a bit trickier but someone could find being in a dominant position humiliating.

There aren't that many celebrities with normal bodies that wear revealing outfits or go topless publicly, so if you're asked to give an example of a non-muscular celebrity, you might have to pick one who's the least muscular but still has muscles.

The algorithm punishes you if you just swipe on everyone.

So long as you're not saying anything inappropriate (a lot of men seem to struggle with this) or the situation is obviously wildly inappropriate (say you're her boss or you're at a funeral or something), at worst it will be awkward or embarrassing.

Vaginas "tent" when aroused, meaning they mould themselves to whatever's in them. With a penis in a normal size range she should feel full. And again, the right spot is two inches in. So I don't think that's quite the whole picture. A sexual thing some women enjoy would be called a kink.

It doesn't negate any normative views on right and wrong. Basically everyone accepts that moral right and wrong exists, even if purely in terms of approving and disapproving.

No I have not watched porn and I never will. Nobody needs to but some people (mainly men/boys) fall for marketing and think they do. We know it impacts everyone even if they don't feel it does. I'd recommend nobody to "control" their partner into stopping porn when they don't want to. Just leave. That's what a boundary is.

You can have a personality that will get you friends but isn't usually as desirable in relationships - for example, a relentless jokester type. People are also generally more comfortable approaching others for friendship than sex or romance.

Yes. It's less bad because at least there aren't actors harmed but it still spreads terrible ideas about sex and is psychologically harmful.

Men are quite literally in control of whether they gift meals to other people. They won't end up paying on any date unless they offer.

Blaming women for being manipulated and lied to (they're picking the wrong people or have the wrong nebulous "vibe"), what a classic. How you treat others is very much your own responsibility, not theirs.

It could be argued that sexual release is a need but partnered sex is certainly a luxury. You don't need it, you might enjoy it but you'll be fine without it. People who are desperate for a need like food or clothes will take anything but if they can't find a sex partner they find attractive or who will do the exact acts they like with them they just won't have sex.

No, as on the balance of probabilities someone who says they were raped is very likely telling the truth, and someone who says they were falsely accused is very likely lying. If a woman says she was falsely accused of rape a man should run.

You're looking at this from a male perspective. Women don't usually get to "pick" the same way, they are picked and get to say yes or no to that one person in the moment, so the question is whether he personally is good enough rather than is he the best out of all the options. And you know, different strokes for different folks. Not everyone has the same taste as you and your sister.

(I am a breadwinner.) Surely you want your partner to have the same standard of living rather than hoarding the money? Your partner isn't a roommate, you're a team and usually one person's earnings rely on the other's support and the money ends up as both of your money. If you see them as a parasite rather than wanting to help each other I don't think a live-in relationship is for you.

I'm not sure why you're drawing that line between objectification and non-objectification when porn actually meets your criteria for objectification.

Even porn where women are portrayed as dominant is objectifying and degrading to women. It's just a costume but we know who's really in control both through the screen and on set.

In a relationship like this the man would generally be pampered by having food made for him, chores done for him, children looked after for him, etc, even if he has to brush his own hair. This isn't usually mentioned specifically because it's such a widely accepted expectation for women in relationships that it goes without saying.

I didn't use dating apps as people only really use them for hookups. Even if that wasn't the case I'd be wasting time going on dates with people I don't know and need time to figure out if I'm attracted. Asking out men in real life, only one said yes, but I'm very grateful for the one.

You can't objectify yourself. Whether you're objectified or not is a function of how other people view you (as an object). Looking nice or looking bad doesn't change whether you're viewed only as a sex object, only whether you're viewed as a good sex object or a failed sex object and if those are the only options most people would choose the better treatment that comes with being a good sex object. In some places women having their tits out is not considered sexual, in most places men having the…

I can't because I don't find men I know to be toxic or misogynist attractive. I avoid it if I know about it. Unfortunately we don't always know about it and many people hide their personalities and some women are easily fooled, or don't care because they're toxic or misogynist themselves.

Someone going on a date with you because they want to have casual sex with you at the end is not a "romantic option".

It's economically relevant to get a degree. Many jobs, usually better-paying jobs, require a degree, but don't require the degree to be in a specific subject. I don't get this myth that unless a degree is in a subject that's specified by a particular high-paying job it's therefore useless.

It's been a right since long before taxes existed. I mean a right in the sense that if you find someone who wants to marry you, you have the right not to be prevented from marrying them. Marriage is a way of formalising these things in a romantic relationship because a couple that's just broken up can't generally agree on what to do by themselves.

Nobody has an orgasm this time. Most people have had occasional bad sex in relationships and acknowledge that this is fine. I don't know where you're getting all these generalisations from.

When you're aroused your vagina undergoes a process called tenting which means it fits around a penis. It doesn't just get huge lol. Unless you use a lot of synthetic lube also, too much lube isn't going to be a problem.

I'd be curious about where you got these statistics from if anywhere but I didn't date one of these "statistical" men. I've never dated someone from a dating app and like most people I'm too normal and boring for the casual sex scene, so instead I've only been in the one-at-a-time scene.

Actually what most women prefer is having no breadwinner but instead both people work, and nobody who does the vast majority of housework but instead both split. Doing the entirety of one isn't very fun (although increasingly women are getting lumped with both).

Not a fetish. I don't mind if they have a type. For example they may prefer gingers and think ginger hair looks nice, but it's not the only thing they care about and they'd still date me if I wasn't ginger. I want them to actually like me and for us to get along, I want our relationship to be more than sexual, and I don't want to be left for someone else with the same characteristic.

In my experience that means it's not going to stay hard in those cases so you might as well call it a day. It's not a negative judgement on the person or anything, but doesn't look like sex is going to be good that day and it is what it is.

Why is a woman's "biggest effort" being with someone when she simply happens to be young and not looking after them, doing household labour for them, giving up their name and identity for them, sharing finances with them, having children with them, having repeated sex with them over many years and promising to be with them forever? That's no bigger effort or commitment than being young? Less simpy?

/r/PurplePillDebate29/08/24 12:12 PM

Again I said it depends because I don't have other specifics, so that's the only thing I could say needs to be done for sure. I never said you need to physically fight anyone to not be complicit, indeed I've already said somewhere that I don't believe that.
/r/PurplePillDebate29/08/24 12:12 PM

Are you basing what you said on something else or am I correct that it's personal experience?
/r/PurplePillDebate29/08/24 11:34 AM

People caring if you live or die isn't something you're supposed to earn or lose the privilege of. If you can stop caring about people dying just because they haven't personally given you attention, you have no right to say that you deserve attention for free. I'm really sorry you feel that way and I've linked you some resources. I'd recommend stepping away from the Internet particularly manosphere spaces as they tend to exacerbate these feelings.
/r/PurplePillDebate29/08/24 11:33 AM

Says more about the people you like to date.
/r/PurplePillDebate29/08/24 11:28 AM

I just think you might not get much sympathy for feeling lonely if you don't even care about people dying. No, you don't help other people for personal gain, it's what people do if they have a conscience and care about others. You're not supposed to "get" anything for being moral. I don't "gloat" at lonely people - indeed I spent years volunteering at a helpline.
/r/PurplePillDebate29/08/24 11:28 AM

I'd do what I could if someone was attacked by a tiger short of death. I'm not saying you need to risk death.
/r/PurplePillDebate29/08/24 11:24 AM

I think even those who have been hurt themselves have a responsibility to intervene when others are in danger. I don't know how you expect others to care about your complaints if you would just let someone die.
/r/PurplePillDebate29/08/24 11:21 AM

That benefit me? I prefer to treat men on dates. I've never had a date pay for my food except for my birthday and graduation. Imagine staging a protest over bring given gifts, you'd be called so ungrateful!
/r/PurplePillDebate29/08/24 11:17 AM

You don't know them or what they think about you and it doesn't matter if you feel lonely, a fellow human being is in danger. Do you not have a conscience?
/r/PurplePillDebate29/08/24 11:13 AM

I would say a bystander is complicit. You can help without risking death, and if you think death is an option you're saying you're walking on past a potential murder victim without doing anything, which is disgraceful.
/r/PurplePillDebate29/08/24 11:12 AM

People (men and women) owe people (men and women) help when they are in danger. This is obvious to anyone with a conscience.
/r/PurplePillDebate29/08/24 11:11 AM

If anyone has done that to you, that is wrong.
/r/PurplePillDebate29/08/24 11:10 AM

I said do what you can. Physically fighting the person, if you're on your own, is usually the stupid option. If this person is so dangerous that killing is possible, you would really want to help the victim. I think we owe other people quite a lot, most people have morals and a conscience and think the same.
/r/PurplePillDebate29/08/24 11:09 AM

And you're completely free of gender roles otherwise? You expect nobody to do anything even slightly different to each other?
/r/PurplePillDebate29/08/24 11:07 AM

No.
/r/PurplePillDebate29/08/24 09:54 AM

Thinking about recent history gives context. The norms of the past didn't just disappear overnight and inform our behaviour today. There's even a growing movement of people who would like to return to these norms. We might question if these things that we find shocking now were considered acceptable in living memory, are the things we consider acceptable today really a desirable way to treat women?
/r/PurplePillDebate29/08/24 09:48 AM

I don't think you're going to become dependent on anyone just because they bought you lunch. I'm sure people (dates, friends, family, coworkers) have bought you things on occasion yet you aren't dependent on them.
/r/PurplePillDebate29/08/24 09:44 AM

I think we're all obligated to do what we can when a fellow human being is in danger. I don't know how you could just walk past in that situation. Not because you gain anything or are going to hook up with them, but because people who aren't psychopaths have this thing called a conscience that tells them it's wrong to be complicit in someone getting hurt.

Technically they can but it's not likely. There just aren't many opportunities for her to meet someone and she's unlikely to get anywhere without doing any of the heavy lifting in her interactions. I've never known a woman that shy to have a boyfriend (not on tumblr or minecraft).

I don't think it says much, it's just a personal preference. I've known both good and bad couples to have each.

With the exception of couples that failed because one realised they were gay and forcing themselves into a straight relationship all along, I can't think of a single failed couple that I can say were genuinely each other's best friend at any point. I'd say that a common problem in failed couples is not being able to see each other as friends or a team or anything other than a romance/sex partner and/or coparent.

I'm no expert on human nature but I do know our nature.

I think it's unreasonable if the husband isn't aexually traditional. If he isn't a virgin, why's he expecting her to be?

One wouldn't necessarily apply the other in that case - a man could technically have casual sex with lots of normally chaste women and that is a common fantasy. But if you're biased against an act where a woman is dominating a man you're implicating both there. One or the other side cannot be more common.

I think you're underestimating the "cis heterosexual middle class young adult", or at least my husband and friends certainly know what top and bottom mean. You were comparing, you just have compared and said it's a thing for women and not men, even though I've explained why that makes no sense.

That's not actually what it's about. It's about when a man or woman comes to you and you aren't a judge or juror or the prime minister or whatever and nobody is going to prison over what you do and they tell you that they've been raped, you don't immediately assume they're lying. Just as you would if they said they were a victim of any other crime that's reasonably likely to have happened (in fact as far as we can tell the odds of them lying about it are very small). You support them. You don't …

Sex is an act between two (or occasionally more I guess) people and sexual identities don't really exist on their own independent of anyone else. I can't stay a top if I have nobody to top, if I don't have someone who's a bottom to me (something that, by the way, I certainly wouldn't describe as passive). If my partner decides to "hold himself back" and not be submissive, then I am held back from being dominant too as I can't dominate. I guess I could use a certain label without him necessarily …

If you're complaining that women only express interest in 20% of men, then you shouldn't have expressed interest in less than 20% of women. Very few men have flirted with even 1% of women they've met. Your point about other factors in attraction isn't relevant.

There's a substantial number of men who are adamant that Zendaya is unattractive and looks like a man and Emma Watson is average or worse. I don't know of any man who's asked out a whole 80% of women he meets, even if we restrict it to the same age group. Maybe 1% at most.

I have approached men and I know that no matter what they say in theory they usually just don't like it and get put off.

Child support or paternity fraud are not issues of bodily autonomy. Men are not in any of these cases forced to do anything specific with any body part that they don't want at any time. You might get taken more seriously if you didn't try to make it analogous to pregnancy, which is about the most invasive thing that can happen to a person.

Female beauty standards aren't just about finding relationships like male ones, they're about how everyone reacts to you throughout your whole life and they're incredibly pervasive.

/r/PurplePillDebate24/08/24 09:28 AM

No. If someone is rude to you then you are more likely to be rude back. I can only see them seeming "sweeter" if it's in a condescending or sarcastic way. People generally mirror the way others act towards them. In the case of the drunk man I wouldn't call that being "sweet" she probably just didn't want to feel responsible if he ended up dead in a ditch, it's just basic human decency to make sure someone is safe even if they're rude.

Same principle applies. If they don't think they can find someone who likes them in a whole country that's just their prejudiced views talking. Or if they're genuinely so disgusting that nobody wants them (I don't believe that) then a different country won't change anything so at most they'd be able to pay people to ignore the fact they're not attracted at all.

I don't think most care to be honest. I've never met a woman who gave a shit so long as it wasn't causing a legitimate problem (like playing games instead of doing chores or choosing them over spending any time with her or letting gaming ruin his sleep cycle).

I doubt they can't find anyone in a whole country they fancy unless they have some hugely prejudiced beliefs.

I would not have a romantic relationship with someone I exclusively cared about sexually amd everything else was just "work". Which is what I was actually talking about. Romance is caring about someone and having a connection as you aim to share your life together, you know the things that fouples do that let you know they're a couple. Nobody buys me meals.
/r/PurplePillDebate21/08/24 04:31 PM

That's not what I said. I said asking someone on a date doesn't mean you want an immediate casual hookup on that date.
/r/PurplePillDebate21/08/24 04:30 PM

I didn't say sex wasn't part of relationships. I said asking someone for coffee is not a sexual request. You're not asking them to do anything sexual. Most likely you will go home after doing nothing sexual. I didn't ask why you want dates, I assume it's because you want a relationship but it doesn't really matter.
/r/PurplePillDebate21/08/24 04:29 PM

"Date", for normal people, does not mean "have sex".

I think you need to be a millionaire for it to be sensible to not care about additional income one bit.
/r/PurplePillDebate21/08/24 03:40 PM

Asking someone out for coffee is not a sexual desire. I'm not sure why anyone would post about wanting to ask someone out for coffee on reddit, and only that, unless they wanted to get criticism about it. You're criticising people yet doing the very same thing by saying a date is automatically a sexual desire and sex is "unholy" and men who have sex are just pretending to be nice.

I'd say friends/acquaintances first works better when you're younger with more cohesive friend groups that meet up and mix regularly rather than like a monthly coffee shop trip. Young people tend to be a lot more laid back about dating and open to seeing where things go. Older people tend to try to rush things (understandably) and will date much more formally and intentionally. Single parents are more likely to go for "bad" partners due to past experience of a partner who left them and their fam…

I don't think many women are doing this thing. I think you are encountering some women, who don't like having sex straight away so are only comfortable with relationships, and other women, who are fine jumping into bed immediately so will go for hookups too, and assuming they're the same because you don't think different women can be different.

I don't think there's a single non-physical trait I don't share with a significant number of men. Some men say and do and feel things I don't really understand, but so do some women. I think a lot of people come from the perspective they couldn't possibly understand what someone with different genitals feels and prove themselves right.

Now that's a man who's showing off about being financially irresponsible and not wanting a mortgage. You just don't care about half your household income? Not even it's not a dealbreaker you just don't care? Yep I just cannot see you making smart financial decisions if you're that laissez-faire about one of the most important factors. (Not to mention that not caring what your partner spends half of their time doing seems like you're just not interested in them.)

No I have never wondered that as your premise isn't true. Obviously both parties cheat way more in toxic relationships. I can't say I've known anyone to get pregnant with a toxic man unless they didn't have other options or found out he was toxic only after the fact. (And your point about women's biology being predictable makes no sense, women's bodies are unpredictable and all these timings you give are just averages of things that very wildly.

Adults should be free to make the decision to get married if they choose, no matter if it's a good or bad decision. It shouldn't be some elite privilege. They know the risks and they're free to avoid the risk of divorce completely by not marrying, they don't need to be babied about it.

I have the same standards in men and women. I'm attracted to them the same, I love them the same, it feels the same, I don't prefer one over the other or see one as not human or whatever the fuck. I'd say women might be more likely to meet my preference but it's the same preference and I don't care about the sex of who meets it. I don't expect a partner to "provide" or "perform" they just need to not sit on their bum doing nothing all day and put some effort into the relationship.
/r/PurplePillDebate21/08/24 08:37 AM

His birthday is this October and I've booked him three days in Amsterdam and a one day trip to Brussels on the way back (Eurostar).

Oh yeah and his first birthday that we were together I made him a scrapbook of our relationship so far which took a couple of weeks.

This only checks out because a) only men who really really want to be single parents and know they can handle it tend to choose to do it, whereas women are often just left with their child without really getting another option and b) male single parents are significantly richer. Men actually are the default parent when they ask already.
/r/PurplePillDebate20/08/24 09:16 PM

I don't like that word. It's not an orientation it's just taking time to feel attraction, most people take at least some time.

I prefer the system we have currently, where if a child actually has autism or another disability as determined when they've actually been born they are offered appropriate help and support for free (although not a cure, as there, you know, isn't one and no matter how much money it can't be avoided).

I don't think anyone should force themselves to have sex. That's only going to end up with them not wanting sex as they come to associate it with obligation, not lust. Sex is not something we do to "compromise" (I fail to see what the horny party is conceding to make it a compromise). Why is it wrong to say that if one person is horny and the other isn't they should deal with the desire themselves rather than thinking the other has to do something? If they were hungry and the other wasn't they'd…

Attractive bodies for women are all about curves and balance, which is up to whichever way your body chooses to store fat. Being thin will make you more boxy or lanky if you're predisposed to it, not less. Also, crash diets don't work, if you somehow become skinny in a year you'll put it right back on next year.
