Kind of true, although cockiness isn't necessary. Women like men that radiates confidence, and this can either come from having one's shit very much together or from being an easy-going dudeish kind of guy that moves through life with an air of outcome independence; the kind of guy that is just certain of always landing on their feet no matter what life throws at them.

Being good feels nice, that's enough motivation for most people. And yes; feeling nice is a reward from yourself to yourself, but that has no bearing on what OP is saying.

What outlets and virtualizations is the law preventing? And how are men dependant on women except for demographic issues?

So men are dependant on women because of demographics? Sounds like we need more research into artifical wombs then. It would solve many problems.

They seek sexual relationships for the same reason as men; because sex with another person is more fun than masturbation.

Tbh; from my point of view it's hard to believe there's a relationship drought. There's quite a large group of young (early 20's) people working at the same place as me, and almost all of them are in steady relationships (the only two exceptions are both women).

Not blue pill, so I'll just reply here: When I was younger I met my partners IRL, mostly through a youth nature- and environmental organisation I was a member of. The last 10 years or so I've met most of my partners, flirts and fwbs through the internet.

As someone that has been rejected very many times; good plan. But make sure to evaluate what went wrong afterwards. If you make an earnest attempt and raise your N high enough you'll learn a bit more about this subject.

You still have to actually do the practical stuff. Only reading won't suffice. But yes; human interactions are unpredictable and there are no certain outcomes. Perhaps it will be easier to accept if you think about it like you would think about chess or go or any other complex game; there are good strategies and tactics to use, but even if you use them the outcome will be uncertain against some players.

You can study dating theorethically just like you can study any other skill. But you won't get that skill just from reading about it. The same can be said about certain aspects about being a bio-engineer such as lab work; you haven't mastered lab work or any other practical aspect of bioengineering until you've done it a certain number of times.

"Not being a dry texter" is kind of the same as "not being a dry conversationalist", and that requirement has been around for a while.

Something similar could be said about the characters I'm talking about, they are usually more good than bad or they act for a higher purpose. But that's not the point; the point I'm making is that what one likes in fiction isn't necessarily an exact mapping of some secret and hidden desires.
/r/PurplePillDebate07/09/24 06:32 AM

Why do we pretend that the fantasies we choose to indulge in aren't reflective of deeper desires or tendencies. Why do you assume it does reflect some "deeper" desires? Why can it not just be a curiosity about something that you don't have in your everyday life? E.g. I've recently discovered that one thing I find hot and exciting in fiction is women with a somewhat flawed moral compass. Does that mean that I secretly desire to have a relationship with such women? It's of course very plausible th…

That's a hard pass from me. I have more interesting conversations with a Turing machine or an AI chat bot than I do with people. That's your choice to make, but that also means that you're making a hard pass on any form of intimate relationships. Worst case scenario, everyone is subtly or overtly manipulating you when you try to engage so you learn really quickly that being 'open', 'honest' and 'clear' with your communication actually works against you in the long run and you have to be just as …

Or has it never been better and Im just the victim of my poor social circles and rosetinted glasses when it comes to the past? It's possible that dating and relationships have become harder for many people today, and especially for younger (under 40) people. But from your description I would say that you're also a victim of a shitty social circle. Most people I met that are under 40 but above 25 are in long-term relationships and most of them seem to be satisfied or happy with their relationship…

I do like the idea of coaching a woman through life, not helping her do basic things like any adult should be able to do but more like using me life experience to help her navigate her own life better.

The thing with non-verbal communication is that it's never unambiguous. The things that are considered indicators of interest might also be done for other reasons. That being said; it's very possible that some of the girls you thought were interested really were interested. Learn to trust your gut feeling.

I think it's healthy to want to get the most out of life, so just sitting around doing nothing or just being sedentary isn't really an option for me. But I'm the one that knows best what getting the most out of life means to me. Sex with beautiful women is nice, but I don't believe that I would get "more" out of life if I slept with models rather than just beautiful women in general.

The question is what if this just isn’t in your nature and you lean more toward introversion and prefer stability over spontaneity and are happy with a few hobbies that aren’t exactly appealing to women and aren’t overly ambitious?

Its also notable to point out that when you say "a guy is boring", the implication is that a "guy needs to tap dance & impress & entertain women". Not really. One can be not-boring by cultivating certain charasteristics because one wants them for oneself, and if one is lucky they also make one interesting to others.

Yeah, that was a study about a mutation that made some people less sensitive to the pair bonding effects of vasopresin or oxytocin.

This is a limitation from your teaching source and your learning ability, not any kind of limit from learning through someone else's experience. I guess all teaching sources are limited then.

There's nothing particular about experiencing something that bequeaths a completely unique insight. There is actually. There are nuances and hard-to-convey knowledge that can often only be had by experience. There's a reason that most higher education for professionals has on-the-job-learning in the curriculum.

Experience is not a guarantee of insight. They are separate things altogether. It's entirely possible to learn about something without having experienced it, and even to have more accurate and rigorous knowledge than someone who did. This is plainly wrong. Experience always improves your understanding of any subject and most of the time it's necessary to really master that particular subject.

This sounds very much like a young and inexperienced man's approach to confidence. With age and life experience you'll come to understand that comparing your current self to your past self and understanding the road it took to get there is the ultimate source of confidence (given, of course, that you actually have improvements to look back on).

Fair enough, but I would say that improving yourself has always led you to become more successful. But since you're doing well for yourself you don't need it.

According to my pill I'm doing good enough and that kind of well balanced and simple life is what everyone should aspire to. Do you actually disagree with RP concepts, or do you just hate their members? I find their obsession with money and status weird, and kind of pathetic. And the whole negging thing just make them seem like little school boy bullies rather then men. But I do agree with their belief that ther…

Most of RP used to be successful men sharing their personal experiences and results with RP techniques. The generalization comes from combining the results of these strategies into a field guide for modern day gender dynamics. How did they account for confirmation bias and the possibility of a non-random selection of informants?

If you live in a country with a welfare system it's possible to not work and still have food and shelter. But you have to apply for it and it's kind of a miserable life. I guess the best strategy would be to get diagnosed with some kind of disability and live of disability support; but that's a very long process and it might not work even if you're actually unable to work.

I think that being deeply into a subculture at the age of 30 makes a person seem immature and incapable of growth and that will be a turn-off for many. But retaining a tad bit of some subcultural markers might make a person seem more interesting and self-determined and thus more attractive to some.

I don't think rp is really working and I agree that it will never become mainstream. But I do think that some aspects of trp, stuff that's not exclusive to it, will become more mainstream.

Problem is that most men doesn't know how to find the appropriate levels of being flirty. You need to learn to read the situation and see when it's time to up the flirtiness, suggestiveness and when to tone it down. That way you can be both wholesome and connect with women.

She doesn't actually love you for your self and uniqueness, but what she gets from being with you, what you provide for her and once you stop providing that or stop giving her that feeling or once that lifestyle evaporates, so does her love for you.

Getting "leadership" may in theory sound ridiculous (rationally u ask urself why u should lead someone in a relationship) I've never doubted why I should take the lead since I started doing that.

The freebies: I (and some of my friends too) had dates where the woman would say "I'm not intrested because of (this physical trait)" only after we pay the bill.

I'm with you if we replace gangste bros with something else, say construction workers, since it's a specific type of personality that dates gangster bros. It's not about class. With that being said; why it is bad that stem bros has to compete with construction workers? This means that they can also compete for working class women and thus have more options.
/r/PurplePillDebate28/11/22 07:28 PM

For example, when the stem nerds have to compete with the gangster bros, that creates social chaos as now the stem nerds don't have a specific group of women they are dating amongst. No, this just means the stem nerds have to start working out and maybe take up bjj or hunting or something else to come off as more masculine. And also; wether a girl would consider dating a gangster or not is more dependent on personality than class.

Well, that's why it seems useful to you. I've done fine without the red pill and sometimes by doing the exact opposite of what they say one should do, and that's why it seems like snake oil to me.

I don't give any credit to red pill theories because they don't jive with my lived experience.

No, because cheating isn't about what she does with her body. It's about what she does with a thing you have in common; your relationship and the agreements and boundaries that comes with it. The same can of course be said for things like wearing revealing clothes, but in most modern relationships that's left as an individual choice rather as an agreement between the parties.

No, that's not how the dating market works at all. Everyone can have a preference, but the more specific they are the harder it will be to find the kind of partner they prefer. And of course this difficulty will also be affected by what attractive qualities the person has or lacks.

Sure, but that doesn't change the facts about what we're discussing. There's plenty of women that cares wether you're a good person or not, enough of them that being a good person is a good dating strategy.

And why is the expectation for the person being snubbed to take the high road and bow out respectfully? Because they initiated the interaction despite knowing there's a risk of being snubbed, so it's only fair to say that they've accepted the risk of being snubbed and should accept the outcome whatever it is. Being angry in that situation is just as stupid as getting angry when buying a lottery ticket and not winning anything.

It signals that he is genuinely invested in the girl and not just there for hookups.

Not really comparable. If you're being used for your money it's because you consent to being treated like that - there's no danger in just refusing to give up your money.

I would imagine that being sexless is way worse and I don't really see it as comparable to friendlessness. But that might be because I'm an introvert that has trouble establishing and maintaining friendships while sex seems to be kind of easy to get.

Going for a pleasant coffe date might actually be time and energy well spent since it's relaxing and a nice break from everyday life. I usually walk so I don't have to spend any money on gasoline, and if I have time I'll make sure to make the walk pleasant as well. As for patience; the few times I've ended up on dates with people that tried my patience I've just cut the date short. And women also spend time, energy and patience on dates.

I disagree. You don't have to pay for drinks or dinner when dating. Careers, fitness and stuff like that are things that can and should be done for the benefits it brings directly to the person.

What I'm referring to however, is the average male who normally would have been able to have sex, but is now unable to, given the landscape of the modern day dating scene (online dating, unprecedented levels of communication, travel ability etc.) Average men is able to get sex, your whole premise is flawed.

If porn is the male ideal of how sex should go, what is the female ideal? Porn isn't the male ideal of how sex should go.

It's not exactly for an average man, but it's not really hard either.

Judging from your replies in the comments I'd say that your #2 guy has goal, just getting laid, that are shared by only a small fraction of men (men in the manosphere included). Most men doesn't come to the manosphere because they simply wanna get laid.

Men have decreased happiness and productivity without sex. You can clearly see who is satisfied and who isn't by work.

I know a lot of guys who are into those things (except maybe woodworking, I only know a few guys who are into that). Most guys nowadays are sedentary losers who put women on pedestal. Being a sedentary loser is very unattractive and generally bad for that person as well, people should stop being that. I don't really see what point you´re trying to make? That women should be more open to dating sedentary losers?

Yes, anyone can be creepy. I've been weirded out (and very close to creeped out) by an attractive girl and I have a very high tolerance for weird behaviour. That being said it's probably very uncommon for attractive people to be perceived as creepy. Partly due to the halo effect, as well as to the fact that attractive people get more chances to hone their social skills.

Male here. I like people that are civic minded teamplayers, but are also capable of critical and nuanced thought about social structures, laws, norms, authority etc. Do you prefer a partner who doesnt see law as an extention of morality and is comfortable breaking rules they dont agree with (victimless crimes/low risk situations only)? I don't know if I like them to be too comfortable about that, but I would prefer it if they're ready to do it if there are good enough reasons. Good enough reason…

However, I think that our culture (maybe even our biology) really doesn't promote a nuanced way of thinking in the first place, and so to cope, some men are going to need to play both ends of the field in order to average out at a normal, realistic range. Doesn't matter, anyone that isn't retarded is capable of nuanced thinking, and since nuanced thinking is better for one's mental health that's the right way to go.

For a man that's been indoctrinated hard into that mindset, there really isn't a way for him to develop more realistic attitude towards women without devaluing them in some way i.e. misogyny. There is actually, just think of them as ordinary people. An added bonus to this is that it will actually increase your chances of getting laid. See? The misogyny isn't necessary.

Most women in this day and age doesn't have such a view of male nature, they expect a man to be able to just take no for an answer (and that's why they make a big deal out of men not being able to do that). With that in mind it's not a mystery why a woman would go home with a man without being 100% sure about her intentions; she might be on the fence about the whole sex thing but not ready to make the choice just yet.

Art elicits pleasant reactions inside from simply viewing it. As does a great body/face. Hence why we pay money to look at it more. But you don't have to pay with money to look more on a lot of beautiful faces and bodies, just reddit alone is brimming with them. So why pay?

Not really, I can't remember the last time I asked about or were told the exact number of previous partners that a girl I was dating had.

I won't be able to change it. I have only my experience to go by and so far being nerdy and working in non-material job hasn't really stopped me from meeting women.

Guys that don't pay for the dates, especially the first couple, are looked at as cheapskates or losers, and rarely get additional dates. Every woman I have ever spoken to confirms this. I never pay for dates, and I've had plenty of dates that have lead to more dates or sex.

Women already caused it, with their rapidly inflating expectations and their rapidly lowering return in value for meeting those expectations. I think this is a very local problem. In most environments women have reasonable expectations and give a lot back in relationships.

Because men who do learn to care more about themselves will check out and stop contributing to anything but their own self-actualization - which doesn't have anything to do with upholding civilization. Not necessarily. A lot of research shows and a lot of philosohers knew that the best life is the one lived as part of something bigger than one self. Many men that approach the issue of self-actualization with an open mind will realise this and find ways to contribute.

Most men don’t seem open to an open relationship where she can fuck other men. That seems pretty consistent. Most of the men I know that have open relationships, including myself, are fine with their woman fucking other men. It might just be a cultural thing or differ between different social spheres. But I have heard people mention having their partner wanting an open relationship solely on their terms every now and then, so I'm not saying douchebags like that doesn't exist. Just wanted to poin…

Speaking as a polyamorous person; I hope that poly relationships will be considered as just another way of having relations in the future, on equal footing with monogamy and other lifestyle choices concerning relationships. I also really hope that it turns into some kind of political movement; it's in no way comparable to other sex- and relationsship issues that have been the basis for political movements.

Look, woman needs validation. She is getting it from most physically attractive male she is able to obtain. If this man gives her validation (and most intimite form of validation is sex) she is grateful to him. That's why most Chads receive a lot of anal and oral sex while steady boyfriends get boring missionary actions. But men crave validation as well. So men doesn't enjoy sex either? Yes. Women's nature. It's not that different from male nature. And most of what people "know" about male and f…

So someone else—also an armchair observer like me—said to me, if there is “no right to sex”, then there also cannot be tax-funded birth control. If sex is an optional activity, then birth control is an optional purchase. If you want to go skiing, then you pay for your own skis. There's one big difference; there was once a political movement, in countries were birth control is free or subsidized, that was strong enough to make birth control freely or cheaply awailable - a right if you will.

Superb physical condition, quite easily top 1 percent. I'm pretty sure that the correlation between fitness and attractiveness isn't linear all the way. It probably plateaus above a certain level and the difference between being in the top 1 percent and let's say top 30 percent is really small.

Don't let the money and logistics issue hold you back, I have similar problems but that haven't really been much of a problem.

I'm purple becuase neither the blue or red pill has anything to offer me.

I find it way easier to symphatize with TERF's than all the more-than-two-genders people. Let me put it this way: I know a someone married to a gender studies teacher, and both of them are academics into socialism, and I have seen him criticize identity politics, cultural relativism, and post-modernism. It's possible to be a socialist and against all those things.

If you investigate, I think you will find that 0% of the people who compiled that list are ideologically anything other than hardline feminazis. Are you critical of the content in the list or are you just attempting the poison-the-well tactic?

I agree. I was just pointing out that you're using a strawman of the "be yourself" advice.

Why would you assume Jesus had any attractive traits?

No one is saying you shouldn't strive to improve, and gaining a more correct understanding of how something works is definitely improvement.

Everyone does things with an expectation of being rewarded in some way. In some way, yes. But it gets creepy/annoying when you start to assume that your niceness will get rewarded in a specific way.

Is treating them badly and expecting sex as well misogynistic? Expecting sex is kind of crappy in general.

Yeah, cynical people like to say that.

I have read that. It didn't say much about the definition of "nice".

You'll change your mind once you learn more about life :)

It's possible to be nice without being those things.

I see, seems a lot of people have bad experiences from it :/

What community and why do you detest it?

I have at least one female friend that I would say I have a strictly platonic relationship with. So it's obviously possible. There are other girls that I am friends with but also slightly attracted to and that I would definitely have sex with if they were up for it. But since I'm kind of an adult I'm able to partition those feelings and I don't think they influence the friendship.

Yes, but it's still possible to miss or misunderstand things. Two of my silliest missed hints were a misunderstanding of verbal communication, because I didn't get the implied meaning of those statements (an invitation to join someone at their hotel-room and a repeated invitation to stay the night at someones place).

Yes, body language is just an heuristic, not encoded statements. But the same goes for much of verbal communication as well.

This makes me happy! Big boobs are nice, although I prefer small and medium sized, but the strong focus on big boobs made fake boobs way to common and I really hope that's out of style for good now.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
