I have never felt so validated by a mainstream thread.This is definitely true, but if you search "petite" on a porn site, you won't find normal women who happen to be thin/small, you'll find barely legal women and women pretending to look barely legal. Petite is a code word for "skinny teen who looks younger than she is" in porn. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/05/20 07:16 AM |

I have never felt so validated by a mainstream thread.I agree, the comments shocked me too. I feel like that reaction happened because the story has the perfect combination of 1) the man writing it, not the woman, 2) a very severe outcome (eating disorder), 3) the fact that the man looked at porn with women who looked nothing like his gf. Either that or MGTOW are still asleep! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/05/20 03:27 PM |
| 113 | My favorite OLD strategy is asking men about their weirdest date and letting them weed themselves out. He said he had a ‘perfect’ date with this girl then she turned crazy years later after no contact. Stay safe out there.I will never fuck with any man who has been accused of rape. I don't even give a single shit about the 3% that were falsely accused, it's just not worth the risk. If any woman EVER claims that a man sexually assaulted her, he can fuck right out of my life. My safety is on the line here - better safe than sorry. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/05/20 10:00 AM |

Manipulation and gaslighting can work on anyone, especially young women who haven't had a lot of healthy relationships for comparison.

You don't need to worry about talking over them. tbh I think there are a lot of people talking about the issue, but I don't often see sex workers doing the talking. I feel like the debate on all sides is dominated by non-sex workers talking about sex workers.

| 1 | The real reason why women evolved to be "deceitful" is male violenceYou are poorly educated on this topic if you think the question you posed is "simple" - it's still being debated by researchers and academics much more knowledgeable than ourselves. All answers are theories (although mine is supported by data at least), and your theory that men beat their wives because they're 'systematically disempowered' makes it clear that you don't even have a basic understanding of the topic or even the reality of gender inequality worldwide. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/03/20 06:16 AM |
| 1 | Q4W - Don't you get it?haha k | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/03/20 01:58 PM |
| 2 | Q4W - Don't you get it?No, many times culture coalesces from stereotypes or bad science or misinformation, etc. There is definitely no rule that culture is always (or even mostly) built on biology. A lot of our norms come from religion. Actually I would be interested if you could tell me why you think that. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/03/20 01:56 PM |
| 3 | Q4W - Don't you get it?I think that's just an innate part of our biology. I keep seeing men say this but I would like to see the research. It makes sense to me that men would be more attracted to women of childbearing age, but not to the arbitrary ages of 18-25, especially considering that women between 25-34 have less risk for all kind of complications in pregnancy/childbirth.

| 2 | The real reason why women evolved to be "deceitful" is male violenceSome men have power, most do not, to varying degrees within a hierarchy. Women are above most men. In each rung of the hierarchy (social class/income bracket), men have more power than women. They make more money, own more property, have more retirement savings, are more likely to hold positions of relative power, etc. than women of their same income bracket/social class. A higher percentage of women live under the poverty line. Men have more power and resources than women by just about every me… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/03/20 01:45 PM |
| 5 | The real reason why women evolved to be "deceitful" is male violenceI think it's exactly the opposite, since men already hold the social and economic power worldwide. I'm not talking about violence that comes from desperation; the vast majority of male violence does not fit this criteria. Violence is also a way of demonstrating/expressing power, which is often how male violence is used when it's wielded against women and children, and even against other men. There are so many social norms that support men's use of violence as a way to defend their ego/social sta… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/03/20 10:32 AM |
| 3 | Q4W - Don't you get it?You have given me no reason to change my beliefs, and I can easily look around and see a culture that encourages the idea of youth=beauty (but only for women, eh? which is how you know it's bullshit). I don't know why you have such an aversion to considering how culture affects the things we find (and don't find) attractive. What the evidence shows is that sexual preferences, unlike sexual orientation, are learned and strongly depend on the culture a person was raised in. I personally love my pa… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/03/20 10:23 AM |
| 8 | The real reason why women evolved to be "deceitful" is male violenceOf course not, but when a massive pattern emerges, as it has with female violence vs male violence, it's worthwhile and important to consider why that pattern exists and what we can do to change it. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/03/20 10:06 AM |
| 2 | Q4W - Don't you get it?> I struggle to think of examples where men want to accentuate their age. Look at media products like ads and movie posters. Women will never have any wrinkles, while men often have deep wrinkles, to the point that they look photoshopped. There's a whole meme in our society about attractive men getting hotter as they age. We are literally surrounded with cultural suggestions that support this idea. Your post is missing any real or meaningful analysis of how our culture contributes to the idea of… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/03/20 10:05 AM |
| 6 | Q4W - Don't you get it?I simply don't agree. You may think youth equals beauty if you find ageing to unattractive in and of itself, but I don't. For most people, men and women, I don't think there's a significant difference in attractiveness between early 20s and early 30s. And I also don't find signs of ageing to be inherently unattractive. These are just ideas that have been drilled into our heads since birth; there is no objective truth to it. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/03/20 09:57 AM |
| 6 | The real reason why women evolved to be "deceitful" is male violenceBut the thing is, you're now talking about something specific to certain countries' sociocultural contexts (like the US for example). Black men are not more violent than other ethnicities in every single place where black men exist. However, MEN (of every race, nationality, ethnicity, religion, etc. etc.) are more violent than women around the entire world. This is significant and I don't understand why people refuse to acknowledge or address it. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/03/20 09:52 AM |
| 9 | The real reason why women evolved to be "deceitful" is male violenceThe vast majority of all types of violence is committed by men. Do you not think this is worth discussing? Or we should ignore it because it hurts your feelings? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/03/20 09:35 AM |
| 10 | Q4W - Don't you get it?Honestly, I look around at women and I do not not see that women 18-25 are more attractive than women beyond 25. Beauty and youth are not synonyms. I think this idea has much more to do with : Status: men perceive to gain status among their peers by dating younger women, and it boosts their self confidence Dating norms: it's much more normalized/accepted for men to date younger women than for women to date younger men Social norms around ageing: Men don't age better than women; signs of ageing o… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/03/20 09:33 AM |

You're making it sound like people make a conscious choice whether to believe what is presented in the media or not, but they don't. They grow up consuming media that gives them a certain impression about what things are like or should be like.

That year was the only time in my life that I've had enjoyable and non-complicated FWB/casual sex arrangements. I genuinely liked the guys I was seeing, but I just was not emotionally available, whether I wanted to be or not.
