So what you are saying is that any man who is not a "hot guy making six figures" is "insecure or unsuccessful"? Some might say you are part of the problem...

Historically monogamy has been normative in almost all documented societies. That would suggest that whatever its shortcomings it is better than the alternatives. Few men would choose being single over a monogamous relationship with the right woman, and equally few would choose a committed polyamorous relationship (committed being the key word, casual hookups are something else), since in that case the commitment is all on one side - he contributes financial, emotional and physical security, whi…

I guess I need to be more explicit: if you can accept that there are things women cannot change about themselves, such as to whom they are attracted, why can you also not accept that there are things men cannot change about themselves, like wanting a loving and loyal romantic partner. My point is exactly that you are holding men to a different standard than women.

We have two viable options: either lie to men... I agree with the rest of your comment, especially the part about serious societal consequences if we don't get a handle on this issue, but it is far from apparent to me that we can simply socialize males not to want something that both history and common sense suggest is regarded as nearly universally desirable. IMO this is the foundational flaw in the OP: for the sake of convenience it "assumes" a solution that all evidence indicates is completel…

So women are slaves to their nature but men aren't? What kind of sense does that make? A lot of these discussions boil down to the assertion that "women cannot change so men must change". Besides being illogical it's telling which gender is being given the burden of setting matters right. Same as it always was.

Can you name any actual societies in which long term monogamous loving relationships aren't considered desirable by most people? No offence but you're way out of your depth here.

This is also why different cultures can have such wildly different variations of what masculinity is, with some common threads. The problem is that historically most societies have had a pretty similar understanding of what constitutes masculinity (and femininity).

"Toxic masculinity" can mean different things to different people, but in practice it is often identified with traits like emotional self control, competitiveness, stoicism, independence and assertiveness. Surely you can't fail to see the problem? When you attack these traits as "toxic masculinity" you are attacking a key part of most mens' identities and values. So yes, you are effectively blaming me for being men.

If they did, he wouldn't have to resort to women he finds ugly. Believing someone isn't on the same level as you isn't necessarily the same thing as believing they are ugly. You are conflating People who are able to afford higher quality things, will take higher quality things. Not necessarily, if they have to work three times as hard to get the high quality thing.

You didnt go on a date to be friends In case this needs to be said men don't go on dates with friends. A date is a tax on a man's time, energy, and income and he only accepts that burden if there is a reasonable prospect of a payoff. The truth is any relationship requires effort and no one, man or woman, chooses to enter into one if the likely costs exceed the benefits. Add to that the fact that what most men mainly want from most women is sex and it isn't hard to see why platonic friendships be…

He never really had to do that anyway. A guy who is significantly more attractive than some woman at a bar or club who he is meeting doesn't have to do much, which is how it worked in the old days I'm guessing you were never part of that scene. It wasn't as simple as just walking up to a girl and saying "you, me and the back seat of my Buick, babe". Women still expected men to flirt, chat, buy them drinks. They didn't want to feel cheap, after all - and we're talking about a time, not that long …

Women could still go to bars during girls nights out and meet plenty of men, though. I’ve always been skeptical of the “apps ruined everything” argument. Aside from the fact that requires a lot of time and effort - including getting hit in by a lot of people you have no interest in- a man who is a 10 isn't trolling bars for a woman who is a 5, and a woman who is a 5 wouldn't expect him to. With dating apps though a man who is a 10 will hook up with someone who is significantly less than a 10 bec…

In the "old days" women didn't have dating apps that gave them access to every Chad in driving distance. An average woman was satisfied with an average man. That's completely changed. Also, in the "old days" most women aspired to embody traditionally female virtues like kindness, compassion and graciousness. In many cases that has also completely changed. For men the cost / benefit calculus of dating moved in an unfavourable direction and they made the rational decision to direct their time and …

I certainly never said women don't watch YouTube. Also I don't think men are offended by women fixing a leaking pipe, if anything quite the opposite, they are likely to be impressed - exactly because few women actually show any aptitude or interest in acquiring these kind of skills. You're trying to push a narrative about how YouTube has suddenly empowered women to do.things they traditionally relied on men for, but the reality is that for the most part women didn't care do these things prior to…

If you knew even one woman who could do these things it would be remarkable. You inply you know several, which is really straining your credibility to the breaking point. If a woman is having a problem with her washing machine typically her first response isn't "I'll watch a YouTube video to learn how to fix this because I'm strong and independent", it's "which of my male friends (or a SO of a female friend) can fix this for me?" Women have male "friends" exactly for situations like this.

You repeatedly make very broad and strong claims about the supposedly negatively effects of porn consumption without linking to a shred of clinical evidence to support these claims. Now you're blaming porn for high school dropouts and substance abuse - again with exactly no evidence. This is the kind of "ideology trumps facts" argumentation I expect from a women's studies major.

Statistically men do more hours of paid labour than women, and often in jobs that have worse working conditions. So who is outperforming whom?

Every single outcome in a relationship can be traced back to a decision you made or didn't make, and trying to claim lack of control is the lazy, irresponsible, victim mindset route. If it were actually true that your partner's behaviour is completely determined by the choices YOU make then you are married to a Stepford Wife with no agency or free will of their own. In the real world outcomes are a combination of the choices you make and they make, and you only have control of one of these.

Yeah this post is a strong contender for the Captain Obvious award. It's also banal, because this point could be made about any generalization about an entire population - as in "the average is X, but no one is average". You are also making a huge and highly questionable assumption right here: .

This isn’t logically sound though. Why wouldn’t a man want to be the guy she settled for if he doesn’t even know what she was up to with Chad (does she have to tell him the stories?). Oh he knows. First clue is that she's in her mid to late 30s. Second clue is that her dating profile includes lines like "I've had my fun" and "friends first". This isn't hard. I think you might be underestimating the power a long term relationship has on women. As long as their lower SMV husband treats her good an…

Why should you care? Because ignoring the problem is likely to have very negative consequences as men organize around their political interests, for example by opposing publicly funded daycare on the grounds that it is a wealth transfer from them to support women's lifestyle choices. Then challenges to no fault divorce and community of property legal regimes: is she leaves me because she is "not happy" why should she get half my stuff? From there things can get much, much darker.

Women are half of society. It will be much more difficult to address any social problem if half of society doesn't even recognize it as a problem. Also, social problems can't be addressed through individual initiative because the locus of the problem is external to the individual.

"Dating advisors"? Is there some kind of professional accreditation you can get for that? The people you are talking about claim that if you give them money they can get you laid. Do you think they might have some kind of self interested motive for peddling the idea that's it's just a matter of persistence and the right approach?
/r/PurplePillDebate18/06/21 03:16 AM

But eventually those women will settle for a lower value guy while the Chad gets new younger girls to rotate. Logically no man wants to be the guy a woman "settles" for - i.e. she realizes one day her SMV is plummetting fast and she needs to lock down a guy fast for security. In a few years she'll get bored, declare "I'm not happy!", and put the poor sop through the family court wringer for cash and prizes. Meanwhile women are asking "whee have all the good men gone?' Cause it's a real mystery.

I think what it comes down to is that women value relationships more than men and complimenting other women is a way of "investing" in the relationship. Men are more emotionally self sufficient and the idea of using compliments as a way to boost others (and get boosted by them) doesn't come naturally to them. Some, like the OP, even begin to suspect it somehow reflects the darker side of female nature...

I think it is very telling that men understand "self sufficiency" to mean being able to obtain food, shelter and other necessities - you know, the things without which you will actually die. Women on the other hand think "self sufficiency" means consuming premium personal grooming products, filling your home with useless baubles, and owning a bedframe. It's almost as if unlike men women have the luxury of taking a great many things in life for granted.

I'm sure you believe that's your husband - after all you chose to marry him. Given that you're deeply involved emotionally you might not be the most reliable witness, however. Many, perhaps most, women get married believing their betrothed substantially fulfills their laundry list of requirements for Mr. Right. Many subsequently divorce Mr. Right. Some repeat this process several times. Was there a moment when Mr. Right stopped being right, or it perhaps that over the course of some years the ro…

However, this becomes problematic when the love is unrequited and guys feel like they’re being used It feels like they're being used because they are. Men aren't interested in being friends with women whom they don't want to sleep with. Women aren't interested in being friends with men who can't do things for them - who have no functional value, so to speak. So what do you call it when women allow men in whom they have no romantic interest do things for them?
/r/PurplePillDebate27/05/21 10:02 PM

Problem is what you call "friendship" is usually one party taking advantage of the other. Men are generally not interested in befriending women in whom they have no romantic interest because once sex is off the table the "friendship" becomes very one sided. You're the guy she calls when she's had another bad fight with her loutish boyfriend - or when her HD crashes, or she needs her couch moved, or her car is making funny noises. Otherwise you never hear from her aside from pro forma "maintenanc…

Lucky him. My experience of exposing weaknesses taught me to hide them and that proved to be very useful in my life. I obviously can't speak to the OP's relationship but this is generally sound advice for men. Regardless of what women say most are almost vicedally disgusted by weakness in men. Also the OP contradicts herself in saying she wants a man who can show vulnerability but also wants a man who is "emotionally stable". Presumably she wants both qualities in the same man! And yet there are…

They both want similar things Have you ever met a man with a list of dozens of requirements for Ms. Right? Of course you haven't. Men are simple creatures, all they care about is (1) is she hot?, (2) does she have a pleasant personality, and (3) seriously bro, how hot is she? Simple. Women on the other hand - well just look at the post at the top of the thread.

Well she's married to a man she THINKS meets these standards anyway, but then again love tends to blind us to the imperfections of the beloved. There are a great many women who have thought they found their Mr. Right, only to wind up in family court a few years later. In the West women initiate 70% of divorces. Either men generally have very unstable personalities, or those women were wrong about Mr. Right all along. Which seems more probable to you?

Big sigh right back at ya. There are none so blind as those who will not see. IMO this is the root of the issue: if you want to uphold strict gender stereotypes to the detriment of men and women, feel free to I guess? But what if it isn't all about gender stereotypes? What if in aggregate there are significant behavioral differences between men and women rooted in well documented biological differences?

I'm a feminist, further to the left than your average liberal feminist, and I genuinely and sincerely want harmful gender expectations to stop weighing down on men's psyches and causing demonstrable harm to them. As a feminist what you actually want to do is pathologize masculinity and encourage men to be more like women. Then you act all surprised and offended that men resent being told they are naturally defective and must change their natures to conform with female expectations. If you were g…

This is a false equivalence. Black people don't, merely by virtue of being black, have the power to destroy a man's reputation and career by making unsubstantiated allegations of sexual misconduct, while women have arrogated this power to themselves. Different circumstances, different rules. The problem is that women collectively continue to deny the dictum that with power comes responsibility.

If gender were eliminated... Except gender is essential to the context and therefore cannot be eliminated. The guy was presumably trying to make a point: feminists long ago declared war on social conventions they saw they saw as disadvantageous to women, but they continue to expect men to uphold those they regard as beneficial. Is it fair for them to expect to have it both ways? Your answer appears to be yes.
