1	Do you believe that there is "someone out there for everyone"? My dad’s siblings all married. My mom had one sibling who didn’t marry; he eventually came out.	/r/PurplePillDebate	01/02/20 01:59 PM
2	The argument “men don’t need sex because they can survive without it” is bullshit. If only I could satisfy hunger as easily by rubbing my belly!	/r/PurplePillDebate	21/01/20 04:18 AM
7	What communities do you think are genuinely helpful for 'going your own way' types? r/SingleAndHappy Not gendered, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.	/r/PurplePillDebate	06/12/19 01:49 PM
8	The gender focused movements (TRP and Feminism) makes men and women paranoid and anxious for no reason. The GOP doesn’t really care about abortion. What the party wants is low taxes for the wealthy and deregulation of businesses. Abortion, gun rights, racism, etc. are used to trick more people into electing politicians who will vote to cut taxes and regulations. Actually banning abortion would be killing the goose that lays gold eggs. Better to chip away at abortion rights slowly but keep it legal in order to keep pro-lifers showing up at the polls.	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/09/19 02:18 PM
9	The gender focused movements (TRP and Feminism) makes men and women paranoid and anxious for no reason. Unfamiliar with the Hyde Amendment?	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/09/19 02:11 PM
4	Confidence is just looks Confidence on the part of attractive men is seen as sexy. Confidence on the part of unattractive men is seen as creepy.	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/02/19 02:52 PM
1	CMV: "I Like A Man That Will Break A Few Of The Gender Rules Because He Is Secure In His Masculinity" is a demand for Costly Signalling, NOT a genuine preference for gender-nonconforming men Some guys feel the need to drive immense extended cab pickups, and some guys don’t. I remember recently being in a major city and seeing an extended cab pickup from a neighboring, more rural state. The driver of the truck was having difficulty parking the truck in an urban parking space, and I remember thinking to myself, “I feel sorry for the women in [neighboring state] if so many men there feel such a compelling need to compensate.”	/r/PurplePillDebate	28/10/18 12:39 PM
1	CMV: Men Care About A Woman's Status Agreed. I’m not talking about relative success with them; they’re an example of a musician/model couple that didn’t make it.	/r/PurplePillDebate	04/08/18 08:21 PM
2	CMV: Men Care About A Woman's Status Maybe it’s a different sort of status. He gets to brag that he’s married to a fashion model, a much younger woman. She gets... money? Tom and Gisele constitute more a match of equals; in much of the world, she’s far better known. Bowie and Iman were another natural match; he wasn’t far removed from being a fashion model himself. Other musician/model matches that come to mind haven’t worked so well: Seal/Heidi Klum, Billy Joel/Christie Brinkley.	/r/PurplePillDebate	04/08/18 04:02 PM
2	CMV: Men Care About A Woman's Status Bill’s experience in New York circles presumably centered around when he was a Senator’s plus one.	/r/PurplePillDebate	04/08/18 03:21 PM
2	CMV: Men Care About A Woman's Status His notorious grabbiness may also be a factor.	/r/PurplePillDebate	04/08/18 03:04 PM
1	CMV: Men Care About A Woman's Status Some men do, sure. Picture Bill and Hillary, two lawyers. Some men don’t. Picture Donald and Melania. Or is a professional model also considered high status? Apparently Gisele has made more money than Tom, granted status isn’t exclusively about money.	/r/PurplePillDebate	04/08/18 01:28 PM
2	CMV: Cam girl sites are proof that men only notice the top 5-10% of women Maybe men notice more women than just those they throw lots of money at.	/r/PurplePillDebate	26/05/18 11:10 PM
1	What are the most prominent double standards for men? What are the most prominent double standards for women? I don't recall calling anyone a slut; that's a straw man argument. The double standard I was describing is based on the fact that people are willing to assume, without any further consideration, that men are dangerous sexual deviants and that women are victims, even when their respective roles are objectively reversed. The scenarios I'm describing involve neither rape nor slut-shaming; there's an expectation that women take off their clothes at times (society expects women to shower or bathe at …	/r/PurplePillDebate	22/05/18 11:19 PM
1	What are the most prominent double standards for men? What are the most prominent double standards for women? So if she is naked in a window, wouldn't these people be inspired to assume shes selling herself? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Wallen	/r/PurplePillDebate	21/05/18 08:41 PM
1	What are the most prominent double standards for men? What are the most prominent double standards for women? Perhaps the former in parts of Amsterdam.	/r/PurplePillDebate	21/05/18 12:13 AM
29	What are the most prominent double standards for men? What are the most prominent double standards for women? If a man walks down the street and sees a naked woman standing in a window, he's a voyeur. If a woman walks down the street and sees a naked man standing in a window, he's an exhibitionist.	/r/PurplePillDebate	20/05/18 12:52 AM
26	Male student has sex with female student (both drunk). Later, he accuses her of sexual assault. She is found guilty and suspended Prisoner's Dilemma?	/r/PurplePillDebate	15/05/18 03:47 AM
1	Q4M: What do you have to offer to women? Me? Personally? Absolutely nothing they're interested in.	/r/PurplePillDebate	13/05/18 04:28 AM
2	Q4Men: being “too picky” and having a “laundry list” of standards to avoid being a single mom: why is that bad? Back in the day, lesbians made the best beards, especially if everyone involved knew the score and was coupled up. Two apparently-straight married couples could take turns visiting each other's homes as couples, all very proper-looking to families, neighbors, and the outside world, with completely different couplings happening behind closed doors. The marriage of a mixed pair of closet cases is obviously less ideal. Instead of four satisfied people in stable relationships, you have two frustrate…	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/05/18 10:57 PM
2	Q4Men: being “too picky” and having a “laundry list” of standards to avoid being a single mom: why is that bad? It's a great way to end up with a guy who's either ace or a closet case.	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/05/18 08:28 PM
3	The most masculine thing you can do is not care what other people think Alexander the Great, emperor, conqueror, rumored bisexual, once met Diogenes of Sinope, Cynic philosopher, confessed public masturbator, dog among dogs. "If I were not Alexander," said Alexander, "I should wish to be Diogenes." "If I were not Diogenes," replied Diogenes, "I should wish to be Diogenes." If society agreed with your assessment, there would be a lot more children named Diogenes and a lot fewer children named Alexander.	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/05/18 06:46 PM
2	If seeing a prostitute counts as a sexual affair, then why doesn't seeing a therapist count as an emotional affair? Plenty of people are jealous of opposite-sex family members. A man who's close to his mother, sister, or daughter can expect his partners to be jealous.	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/04/18 09:02 PM
6	If seeing a prostitute counts as a sexual affair, then why doesn't seeing a therapist count as an emotional affair? How does the Billy Graham rule work with bisexuals? "Never be alone with anyone but your spouse"?	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/04/18 09:00 PM
3	How honest are women being when they say they don't mind male vulnerability? Do women emotionally burden men as frequently as men do for women? Good bot	/r/PurplePillDebate	13/04/18 12:04 PM
3	Most men don't marry the woman they love(d) the most. They marry the woman that is around when they are ready to marry I married the woman who was willing to settle.	/r/PurplePillDebate	04/04/18 12:32 PM
2	CMV: There is no "non-objectifying", "feminist-friendly" way of getting laid. I believe that the primary purpose of the "Nice Guys" concept is to support the following proof: There are two sorts of men: assholes and Nice Guys. However, Nice Guys are assholes. Ergo, all men are assholes, QED.	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/03/18 02:16 PM
1	Many women don't hate jerks, they hate ugly men I remember seeing a cartoon depicting a "Nice Guy." He was shown as obese, with bad teeth and a combover. ETA: misremembered slightly, "redpillers and incels," but ugly guy hate nonetheless. https://www.reddit.com/r/TheBluePill/comments/7bp1y7/and_yet_you_have_to_explain_it_like_they_were/	/r/PurplePillDebate	26/02/18 05:33 PM
1	[Discussion] A man is who is less attractive isn’t necessarily going to be nicer. "Hangry" was recently added to the OED. People are friendlier when they're not starving themselves.	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/02/18 05:12 PM
1	Q4Men: would you marry/ LTR a woman who doesn’t do her hair, wear makeup, or dress stylishly? Sure, no problem. I can see several advantages.	/r/PurplePillDebate	22/01/18 02:58 AM
1	Encouraging men to be more open about their feelings Half the popularity of sports in America is its monopoly as an emotional outlet. Women can cry at movies or at weddings; men can scream and shout in stadiums.	/r/PurplePillDebate	11/01/18 01:30 PM
1	Encouraging men to be more open about their feelings Not true. Society tolerates men getting excited about sports. That's pretty much the only exception, though.	/r/PurplePillDebate	11/01/18 01:19 PM
1	The Importance of Status between Men and Women Sinatra elicited similar reactions early in his career.	/r/PurplePillDebate	01/01/18 03:35 AM
2	How does dating look 40+ year olds? Plenty of women are interested in dating shorter men. The problem is that the number of shorter men nonetheless exceeds the number of women willing to date them, and as the women who are willing to date shorter men find partners and leave the dating pool for the long term, the dating pool becomes increasingly dominated by women who aren't at all attracted to shorter men. By forty, never mind fifty, most women willing to date shorter men are married. Meanwhile, the taller, older men are largely a…	/r/PurplePillDebate	20/12/17 03:26 AM
2	Should people who don't even know what the concepts they attack mean be allowed to post here? The biggest problem here is lexical prescriptivism. Language isn't defined by the ivory tower; language is defined by its speakers. At best, we can try to describe what others evidently mean. In practice, there is no consensus definition of "feminism" because different people, even different self-described feminists, use the term to mean different things.	/r/PurplePillDebate	19/12/17 01:20 PM
1	Why are men out of touch with what women want. Janet: "I don't like a man with too many muscles." Audience: "Just one big one!"	/r/PurplePillDebate	06/11/17 04:33 PM
1	Confidence doesn't make a man more attractive. Masculinity does. In attractive men, confidence is sexy. In unattractive men, confidence is creepy. If a guy is unquestionably masculine but unattractive, confidence won't help. If a guy is a bit androgynous but kinda pretty, confidence will help.	/r/PurplePillDebate	02/11/17 04:50 PM
2	CMV: "Women Should Care About How Hard Men Have It In The SMP" Is The Male Version Of "Where Have All The Good Men Gone?" "Where have all the good men gone?" is about height and how the demand for exceptionally tall men greatly outstrips the supply of exceptionally tall men. It's not about wanting men who behave in a Disney fairy tale way but rather about wanting men who look a certain way. If it were about fairy tale behavior rather than appearance, women would be dating "nice guys" rather than complaining about them.	/r/PurplePillDebate	27/10/17 10:35 PM
1	Take the Christpill Obvious religious hypocrisy leads people to assume that nobody takes Christianity seriously.	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/10/17 01:05 AM
1	This sub should focus less on the NiceGuy(TM) and instead focus on guys who are genuinely 'nice' but lack game, attractiveness, assertiveness, and are overall just boring. There's a difference between those two. One of my pet theories regarding alleged NiceGuys(TM) is that they're guys from Minnesota who move to New York City, and all the women who've been in NYC for a while assume that he can't possibly be sincere in his habitual behavior and that he obviously must be trying to pull something. It's fundamentally a cultural misunderstanding.	/r/PurplePillDebate	28/09/17 01:53 AM
2	Nice guys and NiceGuysTM. I'm trying to flesh this out. Women fighting over Leonardo would have been disappointed, since there's every indication that he swung the other way. Similarly, I don't know about women fighting over Plato, but Plato did describe (in the Symposium) men competing for the, uh, attention of Socrates.	/r/PurplePillDebate	28/09/17 01:23 AM
