| 1 | Women gaslight men who date younger due to intrasexual competition.Lol ok bud | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/09/25 11:39 AM |
| 1 | Women gaslight men who date younger due to intrasexual competition.I promise you, bud, that’s not enough to make us stockpile men like cows. Men offer that desire—and whatever other assistance—freely. No woman is out there upset at another demographic being dated because “there goes my free money” or whatever. I wrote what’s behind that response, if it occurs at all. It doesn’t in many women. (This sub lovesss painting both women and men as a monolith). Not sure why you cherry-picked the resource comment or what your overarching argument even is. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/09/25 11:17 AM |
| 2 | Men are more sexual than women.Ah, yes, the “they must be mentally ill” defense. Truly airtight scholarship there. Source: trust me bro. Genuinely, stop. You’re just sad at this point. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/09/25 07:44 AM |
| 1 | Men are more sexual than women.Well, I don’t know that women enjoy it more. You might! But I think as a whole men are more sex-driven. But OP is an idiot who knows absolutely zip about women. There are plentyyyy of women with high sex drives who enjoy sleeping with whatever men they want to. (I was one of them for most of my sexually active life! Have chilled in the past couple of years, but I doooo still love sex and my seven sex toys haha) | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/09/25 07:24 AM |
| 2 | Men are more sexual than women.Yeah, but…I’m not the one who said the seed thing lol. I agree with you (and have been upvoting most of your comments). | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/09/25 07:22 AM |
| 1 | Men are more sexual than women.First off, enjoying having sex with men without the end goal being a relationship doesn’t mean we’re out there having sex like that depraved subsection of men you described in your post. My whole argument was that women have sex for MANY reasons other than the idiotic ones you listed. Second off, why is a woman who likes a lot of sex a whore? You’ve got issues, buddy. You’ve avoided engaging with my points again, proving your point of view is groundless. When an argument survives only by ignorin… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/09/25 07:16 AM |

| 7 | Men are more sexual than women.Lollll reading comprehension is low today, I see. I’ll spell it out for you because you seem like you need the help: my first words were “this isn’t news.” I don’t know if you understand implications, but this does imply that I am unsurprised by the notion that men are more sexual than women. That’s called a concession of his point in debate terms. I then jumped in to say “however,” (that’s a contrast) “women don’t only have sex for commitment.” My main point followed: women do actually enjoy se… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/09/25 06:53 AM |
| 1 | Men are more sexual than women.I’m not talking in hypotheticals. I’m talking in real, lived experience. How many women do you actually know—well enough to have spoken deeply about their sexual experiences? Because I’m willing to bet I know a LOT more than you. Including myself. And I can name a lot more than just one show with female characters like that. And guess what? It’s actually logical to point out that those characters’ popularity with female audiences supports the idea that there are many women who feel similarly, an… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/09/25 06:41 AM |
| 5 | Men are more sexual than women.Wow. Why not respond to my actual points? That’s generally how debate works. Ask a question afterwards. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/09/25 06:21 AM |
| 3 | Men are more sexual than women.The one where I made like three separate points. To address your attempted dig at the “fictional character,” the characters in that show are based off of female archetypes. Allusions are not invaluable, nor should they be dismissed in debate. Characters don’t come from nothing; they’re based off of relatable aspects of society. And Samantha was by far the favorite. Why do you think that would be? And, again. Poly women exist. Non-poly women who have sex with loads of men exist. “304” and “slut” … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/09/25 06:17 AM |

| 8 | Men are more sexual than women.That’s not true at all hahaha poly women exist, and even amongst non-poly women there are plenty who just enjoy casual sex. Have you heard of Samantha from Sex and the City?? She’s not based off of a myth, lol. How on earth would derogatory terms like “304” and “slut” have been popularized if women were just out there trying to sleep with one guy at a time | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/09/25 04:14 AM |
| 28 | Men are more sexual than women.This….isn’t news. However, women don’t only have sex for commitment lol that’s insane. Women do actually enjoy sex, you know. We’re not as dick-brained as men are, but we have our moments. We’re cyclical. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/09/25 04:08 AM |
| 6 | Women gaslight men who date younger due to intrasexual competition.This analogy only works if each person only needed one cow. Adding: Men aren’t a resource like food. Women aren’t trying to maintain a stockpile of men for winter, lol. What I will say is, sometimes it has to do with a personal feeling of lack of desirability. I know this happens often with interracial dating, for example. I’m Black, and I’ll often see Black men or women getting upset at their preferred gender dating/marrying outside of their race. It’s not that they want that particular person;… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/09/25 04:02 AM |
| 1 | Why it's controversial when a man says "women are attracted to a small percentage of men" when women themselves agree with this statement in their spaces ?Your argument only works if every single woman is attracted to the exact same subset of men. You’re predicating your “math” on the exact idea that Stunning Potato is saying is UNtrue. Women have different taste, dude. While I also agree that I’m only attracted to maybe 20-25% of men I encounter, the men that I am attracted to are not the same as the men most my friends like. Maybe a quarter of the time those friends and I will agree that a guy is cute. I have one friend, though, who shares one o… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/09/25 04:25 PM |
| 1 | Women, are you consciously aware you treat attractive men differently?So then the initial poster in the photo is the wrong one. There is no “unless I want you to.” What he should have said (and likely meant) is “don’t check out my body…unless I want you to” | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/09/25 04:01 PM |
| 2 | Would you have hooked up with all your past boyfriends?Yeah, play to your strengths lady lmao I absolutely agree with your stance here. Thank you for a good faith debate! One of the best I’ve had on here | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/08/25 09:39 PM |
| 3 | Would you have hooked up with all your past boyfriends?She sounds awful lol I’m surprised you held out as long as you did. More time is intended to sus out patterns like the one this woman displayed. It’s not a definite “we will have sex,” it’s to evaluate if the relationship is a good idea to begin with. So I guess in that vein it’s a gamble from the “I prioritize sex” perspective. I think it’s unfortunate that so many people are swayed by good sex with nothing else. Some women are too (I think these are the ones dating “chads” or whatever?). It al… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/08/25 07:36 PM |
| 1 | Would you have hooked up with all your past boyfriends?What do you mean? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/08/25 06:33 PM |
| 4 | Would you have hooked up with all your past boyfriends?I’m sorry you feel that delaying sex is such a bad thing, but there’s actually a lot of value in it. Someone who wants to take the time to get to know you and have you get to know her before getting physical is wonderful from a relationship standpoint. If all you want is sex and your main goal is sex, and you view the lack of sex (or withdrawing it from the table for a few more dates) as a “punishment” for being seen as relationship material, then, to me, you’re actually not relationship materia… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/08/25 05:11 PM |
| 5 | Would you have hooked up with all your past boyfriends?The problem is still that you seem to be blaming women for “acting in a way” that results in this “change” in guys over time. Women behave how they behave (also are very much not a monolith so we have to assume they’re all behaving in variable ways in terms of choosing partners), men behave how they behave. Both groups react to one another’s behavior as they encounter a specific individual. The onus of how men react is not on women. Even if the current state of things is “harder to get a relatio… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/08/25 05:06 PM |
| 4 | Would you have hooked up with all your past boyfriends?That’s just your opinion. Sometimes the lattes are poop flavored; most customers learn their lesson and move on. Sometimes they’re fantastic. That’s literally just the nature of shopping. If the customers like the lattes or hate the lattes, they’re still going to do what they want to do. There’s not much point trying to convince people otherwise. The only thing you can change is your own menu. Maybe invest in some ads. You get it. Or maybe consider just sticking to your own menu, knowing it’s gr… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/08/25 04:43 PM |
| 2 | Would you have hooked up with all your past boyfriends?I don’t understand. Where did I say that? Or, I guess more accurately, why do you not think it’s a red flag? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/08/25 04:32 PM |
| 6 | Would you have hooked up with all your past boyfriends?So, by your logic, if you were a coffee shop trying to get customers, and the customers preferred to go to a different coffee shop because they liked the menu items better—which then caused many other coffee shops to change their menus too, and they got more customers—but you still didn’t have any, you think that’s the customers’ fault because they somehow MADE the coffee shops change their menus? It’s all on the customers, huh? Do you see how insane this rationale is? They just want a nice godd… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/08/25 04:25 PM |
| 8 | Would you have hooked up with all your past boyfriends?Yeah, “sex as a reward” or “no sex as a punishment” thinking guys are a huge red flag. Plus OP is reframing everything to make it like it’s women’s fault for just choosing who they want to date or hookup with. “Behaving in a way that incentivizes” like what?? The problem is the mindset of constantly trying to get sex from women even BEING the incentive. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/08/25 02:45 PM |
| 1 | On OLD women definitely privilege the "alpha male" type of guyYeahhh people vary, despite statistics. Most of us make no sense hahaha. But it seems like that’ll pay off quiiiite a bit for you down the road at least! There are other ways to appeal to women your age than just your face also! Highly highly recommend joining a group or attending a meetup that a lot of women go to and befriending a few. At best, you’ll meet someone there you like and bam! At worst, you’ll get some new friends and maybe get introduced to their friends. Worth a shot at any rate | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/08/25 05:08 PM |
| 0 | On OLD women definitely privilege the "alpha male" type of guyOkay, but you’re one person? How can you claim I, and my friends/acquaintances are an outlier based on one piece of anecdotal evidence? Especially with proof in the form of millions of obsessed female fans of kpop stars, pretty famous actors and singers, etc, to the contrary? Maybe you’re not that androgynous or pretty, I dunno. No offense meant. It could be anything. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/08/25 04:50 PM |
| 3 | On OLD women definitely privilege the "alpha male" type of guyWhat basis do you have for this wild claim? Also wait what is emasculating degenerate shit? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/08/25 04:39 PM |
| 3 | On OLD women definitely privilege the "alpha male" type of guyJust for looking a certain way? That’s pretty toxic and shitty. But sure, maybe it’s dependent on location. Kpop is a good metric here—a VERY large portion of the boy groups’ fans are 25 and up (and I mean UP), and this is true internationally. Most countries have women over 25 who are attracted to androgynous and pretty men. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/08/25 04:10 PM |

| 1 | The below 80% of men should strive to get dating apps removedYou keep saying I’m shallow because I could have swiped left on someone I ended up liking in person. But do you hear yourself? That logic makes zero sense. You’re treating dating apps—platforms literally built to encourage snap judgments based on filtered pics and curated bios—as the true measure of someone’s depth or intentions. That’s like saying someone who skips a book based on its cover can’t possibly appreciate good storytelling later. No. It just means the format didn’t highlight the subs… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/08/25 10:06 PM |
| 1 | The below 80% of men should strive to get dating apps removedNo one here (aka me) has even said they do that. For the second time , dating apps are ONE DIMENSIONAL. The fact that you keep bringing this up shows that you’re just holding onto this belief, irrespective of its actual validity (and especially in the face of people saying they DON’T think that way), because it keeps your anger going. You’re holding onto so much rage and directing it at fictional women with made up behaviors that you can blame for an outcome that you don’t like. It’s not true.

| 1 | The below 80% of men should strive to get dating apps removedLmaoooo who hurt you? All it means is that online dating doesn’t put every man’s (or woman’s) best foot forward. In person? Wildly attractive, super cute guy. In a photo, still capture of his face? Not great. Idk what to tell you. He doesn’t take good pictures. But he’s great in person.

| 1 | The below 80% of men should strive to get dating apps removedNot you trying to dictate how other people “should” behave to meet some goalpost YOU invented 🙄🙄 Everyone is at least a little shallow, bro. No one is debating that. My whole point is that online dating capitalizes on that and encourages the behavior to monetize it. Get help | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/08/25 09:47 PM |
| 1 | The below 80% of men should strive to get dating apps removedBroooo I literally said I never even saw him on a dating app you’re just making stuff up now!! I found him attractive in real life. You’re so far gone, I genuinely hope you get some help. You’re never going to have healthy relationships with others OR yourself if you keep going this way | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/08/25 09:38 PM |
| 2 | The below 80% of men should strive to get dating apps removedIt’s wild that you keep talking about “taking responsibility” like I admitted to being shallow. I didn’t—because I’m not. Being mindful of the ways that platforms influence behavior isn’t deflection; it’s awareness. I’m not saying shallow people don’t exist. I’m saying dating apps are literally built to encourage and reward shallow thinking. Fast swipes. Snap judgments. Dopamine hits. That’s not a personality flaw, that’s user conditioning by design.

I didn’t present feelings—I shared lived experiences that directly contradict your claims. That is a form of argument, whether you like it or not.

| 1 | The below 80% of men should strive to get dating apps removedAlso, I think, by definition, being attracted to and having a crush on someone you wouldn’t have swiped on PROVES a person is not inherently shallow, but that dating apps activate a part of our brain that favors instant gratification and pattern recognition over genuine curiosity and connection.

| 1 | The below 80% of men should strive to get dating apps removedI would actually argue against this. There are men I’ve had crushes on from my in person interactions and I’ve told friends I would probably not have swiped right on them on an app, and they’ve shared similar stories. Apps are one dimensional; in person is three. Granted, I never saw these guys on an app so I never actually swiped left, but my crushes on them were definitely NOT settling.

Does anyone have any suggestions?I wouldn’t mind being approached at a cafe, but I agree with people that you want some signal that she’s open to it. Make eye contact a couple times, smile—if she smiles back, you’re good! When you talk to her, try to learn something about what she’s working on or what kind of person she is—don’t just tell her “I think you’re pretty.” That can be a turn off, because many women don’t like feeling like guys are only interested in their looks.

| 1 | It's not mysogynist for guys to tell their gf not to wear revealing clothes or not being comfortable with her going to clubs with her girlfriends.Whew, boy. I have a couple points here. 1) I most certainly am NOT telling you I would leave in that scenario. That wasn’t even the scenario I was talking about. And I said that i, personally, would be open to having a discussion in the case of what I actually WAS talking about. But it’s different for everyone. 2) No one is judging. I have not made any claims about this hypothetical man’s character whatsoever. Men who don’t want to date a woman with a promiscuous past ARE judging them.

| 3 | It's not mysogynist for guys to tell their gf not to wear revealing clothes or not being comfortable with her going to clubs with her girlfriends.Yes, I absolutely agree. It’s about what people are willing to compromise on and what they’re not. If OP is not okay with his gf going out to clubs, but she wants to continue to do it, then they’re just not compatible. Trying to get her to “listen to him” and stop going is being controlling, because it ignores her wishes and is just about soothing his insecurities. If a couple can work out their issues on topics like these and come to a compromise both are okay with, then that’s a good relations… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/05/25 03:47 PM |

| 4 | It's not mysogynist for guys to tell their gf not to wear revealing clothes or not being comfortable with her going to clubs with her girlfriends.That’s her whole point. You don’t go into a relationship trying to change the other person. She doesn’t want to date someone who goes to strip clubs. That’s a personal preference. So it’s a dealbreaker for her. That’s how dealbreakers work—if I started dating someone and found out they were a hunter, I would stop dating them. Great that they would stop now that they’re dating me, sure, and the changes someone is willing to make for someone they want to be with are important to take into account.… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/05/25 03:24 PM |
| 2 | Women on reddit who claim to be single and perfectly happy due to potential dating partners not meeting their standards are often miserable in reality.I think it’s fair to say that people push back because, as humans, we have a weird need to validate our opinions by getting others to admit they also feel that way. So, when we see someone who DOESN’T, it becomes really important for these humans to prove them wrong.

Enough people use a term with an understanding of what it means, and that term becomes a word! You can google both and see that they’ve been used and they have shared understandings of their meanings.

My point still stands, however. Granted, Reddit is a small sample size of the population, but non-monogamous people are also a small portion of it. So, this seems to accurately reflect the diversity of the population after all. I’ve seen two non-monogamous responses, and I haven’t scrolled through more than half of the comments.

I’ve read several other commenters who have given valid reasons why a woman would delay sex, so I won’t repeat them here. But, I get it, you’re looking for that strong attraction from someone, so if that’s what you want, your practice of losing interest or ending things with someone who doesn’t want sex right away will probably get you there eventually!

It’s down to self control and lack thereof, but neither is a direct indicator of sexual attraction, honestly. People have sex quickly with people they’re not that attracted to all the time, just because they want sex. What is the goal here?

Acting entitled to something—indeed believing you’re entitled to something—is inherently negative. There are far more positive ways to go for the things you want, have worked for, and feel you deserve than acting as if you’re entitled to them.

Even accounting for the fallacy of “all” women being on dating apps…24% is never “most.” My point wasn’t that my experience was a representation of all women, either.

| 0 | Q4W: For those that care - What do you think of Bumble allowing men to send the first message?Comparing interactions in real life with those on dating apps is really unsound. Dating apps are like miniature, blurry snapshots of a person. You only have a brief time to make a good impression on both ends. Starting a dating app conversation with the run of the mill “hey” is, generally, thought of as a low-rent move. It doesn’t start the conversation in any meaningful way. You aren’t asking any questions that can prompt a response to keep things going. The amount of effort it takes to think o… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/05/24 07:32 AM |
| 2 | Q4W: For those that care - What do you think of Bumble allowing men to send the first message?Getting matches is definitely easier for women due simply to scarcity and demand, but I think what happens after matching is generally a hot pile of 💩 The general mindset for all users these days is that they can do better, so most conversations end in ghosting on one or both sides. So, to that end, it’s like what is even the point of making matches more easily? Add on top of that the need to message first, and I definitely understand why women were complaining. I hated it too, but mostly becaus… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/05/24 12:04 AM |
| 2 | Human mating strategy is proof women need men🤦🏾♀️ Dude, how is that relevant?? You’re completely abandoning your argument to chase after straw men. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/05/24 02:44 PM |
| 2 | Human mating strategy is proof women need menSo, you realize anecdotal experience is the worst possible way to try and back up a claim, right? There are women who bodybuild, and women who are in the military, the Olympics, etc. numerous other examples. It’s entirely possible for a woman to be born tall and large enough, and to get strong enough to complete these jobs (I should know; I’m six feet tall lmao). And, barring physical strength, there are more than enough highly intelligent women to figure out ways to get around any issues that p… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/05/24 02:43 PM |
| 2 | Human mating strategy is proof women need menDude, I said a significant amount more than that. That wasn’t even my point. Way to ignore the point entirely smh why don’t you try actually responding to the part that continues the discussion | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/05/24 02:19 PM |
| 2 | Human mating strategy is proof women need men….no I wasn’t, lol. Why do you think that? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/05/24 02:14 PM |
| 1 | Human mating strategy is proof women need menRight, but you also said something about controlling size? And I didn’t say that? Nor did I say or imply that animals change their size to attract mates. So I explained exactly what I was saying and why. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/05/24 07:12 AM |
| 2 | Human mating strategy is proof women need menAre you trying to say you don’t think it’s at all possible for women to do the jobs if there was a sudden need? My hypothetical was a situation in which men suddenly stopped doing them. Is that what you’re talking about? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/05/24 07:10 AM |
| 2 | Human mating strategy is proof women need menI…I gotta be honest, I don’t think you understood what I said, because that’s very much not what I said. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/05/24 07:09 AM |
| 2 | Human mating strategy is proof women need menYes. You said in your initial post that there is “no other species” that exhibits such traits. I was pointing out that this was incorrect | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/05/24 07:08 AM |
| 1 | Human mating strategy is proof women need menAlso, interestingly enough, there are examples in nature where the female is more flamboyant than the male of the species. The Eclectus parrot is one such example | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/05/24 06:06 AM |
| 2 | Human mating strategy is proof women need menThat’s all well and good for you (and pretty impressive tbh), but the fact of the matter is that most men don’t do jobs like that. So trying to extrapolate a need for men in general, simply because a few men (and a few women!) perform such jobs, is a fallacious argument. Especially given that those jobs are, as you agreed, for society as a whole. Just because we benefit from something doesn’t mean we’re dependent on the people who give it to us. I benefit from skin care products; however, I’m no… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/05/24 06:02 AM |
| 1 | Human mating strategy is proof women need menYour entire initial argument had nothing to do with size—that’s what I’m saying. I didn’t say anything about controlling size. My point is that you were talking about “showing off” to attract mates in both humans and other animals. So, by quoting facts about the sizes of animals to counter my point about there only being a handful of species in nature who actually do that (and, therefore, it’s not actually a useful metric or comparison for mating behavior in all of us as a whole), you weren’t ac… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/05/24 05:55 AM |
| 2 | Human mating strategy is proof women need menWhat are you talking about lmao. It sounds like you are regurgitating talking points. Who are these vague, amorphous “men” you speak of? Do you personally protect money or refine oil or pave roads?? What on earth. The people (and I say people very intentionally) who perform those jobs don’t do so to protect women. They do it for society. Society depends on having these roles filled in order to function as it has. And, while they have been roles traditionally filled by men—for a whole litany of r… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/05/24 06:57 AM |
| 1 | Human mating strategy is proof women need menIt’s not about size lol what…your whole point was about male members of certain species having to be the ones who work to attract the females through varying displays of peacockery. While some animals do have competitions of strength to decide which is the “victor” (i.e. beats the others and gets to mate), this is male selection, not female. Please try harder. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/05/24 06:52 AM |
| 2 | Human mating strategy is proof women need menUntrue. There are many species of animal that don’t display sexual dimorphism and the males and females look exactly alike (cats, dogs, giraffes, horses, turtles, etc etc). It’s not exactly a good metric here. Also, the only reason why women “depend” on men these days is not because of a “natural” system. It’s because of the cage placed on them by the patriarchy (women couldn’t have bank accounts, couldn’t own property, no equal wages, “married off” culture, etc). We’re JUST getting to the point… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/05/24 02:32 PM |
