7	Describe a 5/10 man and a 5/10 woman That is a truly good example of an average guy but the girl is a bit uglier than average	/r/PurplePillDebate	25/03/21 07:15 AM
2	Being hot is the female power fantasy. I feel people take what I have to say more seriously when I’m a guy.	/r/PurplePillDebate	25/03/21 07:11 AM
2	Being hot is the female power fantasy. I actually always play as a male, and try to pretend I am as much as possible. I see myself in more masculine terms though.	/r/PurplePillDebate	24/03/21 08:25 PM
23	Why are seemingly all women bi? I’ve actually met many men who considered themselves bi. As someone said before, it’s probably because there’s less stigma for women to call themselves bi. I think it’s natural. Also: there’s behavior that can be considered homosexual or bisexual in primates. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexual_behavior_in_animals	/r/PurplePillDebate	16/03/21 09:41 PM
5	YES ALL MEN I have triple generation suicides from my grandfather, great grandfather and great great grandfather :( men also have a more likely chance of getting murdered.. these are important issues that should be addressed. I can’t support the feminism movement until they show some sense of solidarity for the struggles of men (I’m not going to say who has it worse, their struggles are different)	/r/MensRights	16/03/21 10:32 AM
1	I think lot of people only pursue dating because of social pressure. Honestly, I don’t feel any need to date because I’m perfectly content alone but as a woman who is getting older (late 20’s) I feel I should think about my future :(	/r/PurplePillDebate	16/03/21 10:24 AM
1	What are some reasons why someone is attracted to you, that would offend/hurt you? For being a certain race even if I’m only half.	/r/PurplePillDebate	16/03/21 10:17 AM
3	[Q4All] What do you think both sexes need to improve on? I think men need to get over their Madonna / Whore complexes, and begin to see women less in terms of their body count.	/r/PurplePillDebate	15/03/21 09:15 PM
1	What do you think of successful career men such as Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg etc? If this success / wealth came with intelligence, then yes. I probably would feel a bit intimidated by them though and always feel insecure believing I’m not good enough. As a girl, a guy that can provide a good (more than food probably) life for me and possibly family then I am all for it. I feel people are lying to themselves when they say they wouldn’t be attracted to it.	/r/PurplePillDebate	15/03/21 09:11 PM
1	Unattractive nerds should try to hit on intelligent women Very good point.	/r/PurplePillDebate	15/03/21 06:56 PM
1	Unattractive nerds should try to hit on intelligent women I seriously need to write a version of The Game for intelligent women. I feel they require a different strategy than the usual mystery method or whatever.	/r/PurplePillDebate	15/03/21 05:30 PM
–	"Tinder will soon let you run a background check on a potential date" - Is this seen as good or bad from a dating perspective? We already do that with google anyways	/r/PurplePillDebate	15/03/21 05:29 PM
1	Does your attractiveness-level dictate your self-worth? Or at the very least, is being "sexually desired" a main factor in dictating your happiness? Throughout my life, I made a conscious effort to develop other aspects of my personality to avoid having my appearance define my self worth. Mostly, my intelligence is what dictates how I view myself. I can’t deny that being pretty has been beneficial to me but I know those benefits are temporary and subject to fade.	/r/PurplePillDebate	23/02/21 06:49 AM
2	Optimal Stopping: Attempting to refine my method of choice That’s the dream	/r/seduction	20/02/21 11:46 PM
23	CMV: Men need to embrace “toxic masculinity” if they wish to be successful in life. We shouldn’t even call this aspect of masculinity “toxic” in the first place — this is simply one of the many ways men are different than women. It’s through these fundamentally masculine traits such as competitiveness, aggression, confidence that our society has progressed this far. It’s through this ultra competitive desire to be the best that drives men to innovate and work harder. Obviously, women are important too because we need someone to sustain the fate of the species, but we also need …	/r/PurplePillDebate	20/02/21 12:27 AM
1	If men want more opportunities for sex, why don’t they put the same amount of effort into grooming, self care and “glowing up” as most women do? Women don’t value physical appearance as much as men do. Men feel they must impress women in other ways such as making money, gaining status in some field, etc.	/r/PurplePillDebate	19/02/21 07:54 PM
1	The "problems" in the dating market are just growing pains from a rapidly changing society. That’s actually called science, my friend	/r/PurplePillDebate	13/02/21 09:58 PM
1	The "problems" in the dating market are just growing pains from a rapidly changing society. Same here. Also another factor to our preferences are our family upbringing. There’s no hard and fast rules. I like the opposite of masculine too. The most important quality to a person for me is intelligence and curiosity. He can be as rich as can be but If he didn’t have the above quality (intelligence) I will not have any attraction to him. Edit: I suppose we can view this in terms of generic predisposition: a female is more likely to be predisposed to certain set of behaviors but whether the…	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/02/21 08:29 PM
1	The "problems" in the dating market are just growing pains from a rapidly changing society. I think we definitely would be better without certain instincts and knowing this fact can help us counter the preferences we biologically inherited. I’m referring to the instinctive ways of thinking that perpetuate sexism and strict gender roles. Knowing that as a woman, I definitely prefer a man with a lot of money but the aspect of me who believes in female independence will consciously search for other more substantial characteristics in a mate.	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/02/21 06:12 PM
2	The "problems" in the dating market are just growing pains from a rapidly changing society. True, that is a variable I failed to mention but I’ll try to develop it more: I said this earlier in a different post but alongside the instinct to procreate, our orgasms evolved to bring us pleasure hence having sex without reproductive intent. We can view this drive for pleasure also as part of this procreative instinct (perhaps the orgasm acted as a biological incentive) When I say, that we desire to procreate, I’m not talking just the making of a conscious decision but an unconscious underly…	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/02/21 06:04 PM
2	The "problems" in the dating market are just growing pains from a rapidly changing society. I’m referring to the Instinct of procreation and yes, If people ceased procreating, it would lead to extinction.	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/02/21 05:52 PM
3	The "problems" in the dating market are just growing pains from a rapidly changing society. You do know that’s not quite true in many cases as we haven’t hit extinction?	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/02/21 05:48 PM
5	The "problems" in the dating market are just growing pains from a rapidly changing society. And yet our basic instincts have not changed despite these cultural institutions!	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/02/21 05:32 PM
1	The "problems" in the dating market are just growing pains from a rapidly changing society. The point is a polygamous relationship is still a relationship and does not support OP’s assertion that hook up culture is the new norm.	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/02/21 04:12 PM
6	The "problems" in the dating market are just growing pains from a rapidly changing society. Sometimes I forget men have feelings apart from sexual arousal :O it’s a good thing to be reminded of	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/02/21 03:55 PM
1	The "problems" in the dating market are just growing pains from a rapidly changing society. Not enough time has passed to have a concrete idea of what Millennials prefer. Maybe in ten or fifteen years we will have a better idea of whether hook up culture has truly replaced monogamous relationships. Even though women are becoming more financially independent, there are still financial benefits to being in a relationship for both men and women. That’s another reason people stay in relationships — splitting the rent on a nice expensive apartment is a great incentive (especially in New Yor…	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/02/21 03:48 PM
1	The "problems" in the dating market are just growing pains from a rapidly changing society. The invention of birth control does not change the biological instinct to procreate. It simply means people override this natural desire and decide not to have children. Our genetic predisposition does not change the fact that we have free will and can actively make decisions on our reproductive life. Society may definitely change from this if all our behavior was influenced in this way but most likely, our instincts will remain the same unless there was some way to artificially alter our geneti…	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/02/21 03:46 PM
4	The "problems" in the dating market are just growing pains from a rapidly changing society. It’s difficult to make the online dating market favor men because men instinctively desire sex more often than women, and they are willing to lower their standards for the possibility of sex. I think it’s more of a conflict between what men and women desire. I would like to see the playing field be equal for both genders. I’m unsure whether sex dolls will solve this problem but we will see.	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/02/21 03:35 PM
6	The "problems" in the dating market are just growing pains from a rapidly changing society. Society is rapidly changing but our instinctive human desires aren’t. Maybe we are only made to think they are or we are being self-deceptive in what we truly want for ourselves. A side note to explain I don’t think we should turn back the progress women made in independence and such. As a woman, I don’t want to be bound by antiquated traditions that have, for centuries, undermined my intellectual abilities as inferior & reduced my personhood to the status of “property”. My believing that there …	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/02/21 03:27 PM
3	The "problems" in the dating market are just growing pains from a rapidly changing society. Marriage is fundamentally a new cultural institution relative to our biological makeup. Sure, they will breakup within a couple of years but it still shows that they desire monogamy, even if it is for a limited of time. With their lover, I’m sure they left their relationship in order to pursue a monogamous relationship with this person. Hooking up perpetually throughout their life isn’t an enduring goal for most people. At some point, it gets boring and we instinctively desire to settle down.	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/02/21 03:13 PM
1	What book are you currently reading and why? Currently reading The Book of Why: The New Science of Cause and Effect by Judea Pearl. Fascinating book!	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/02/21 03:08 PM
13	The "problems" in the dating market are just growing pains from a rapidly changing society. Yes, society has changed but on a fundamental level, we are not very different than our ancestors. On a long term scale, the psychological /biological processes behind our behavior is the product of hundreds of thousands of years of evolution. Our cultural Institutions are relatively new compared to the instincts that we inherited from our ancestors. The time scale is so large to the point where the massive changes made within our cultural institutions are not capable of keeping up. What we end …	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/02/21 03:03 PM
1	Men and women are more similar than RP people often think, and more different than BP people often think. I mean, sex’s purpose isn’t purely reproductive. Another aspect of its evolution is the pleasure of the orgasm. As someone says, they have a lot of sex because it’s fun.	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/02/21 02:51 PM
3	Men and women are more similar than RP people often think, and more different than BP people often think. People who ignore scientific evidence to support their ideological convictions. The area where men and women are roughly similar is in IQ, except for the fact that men display greater variance.	/r/PurplePillDebate	11/02/21 10:16 PM
5	Men and women are more similar than RP people often think, and more different than BP people often think. « So the stage was set for women to evolve a preference for men with resources. But women needed cues that signified a man’s possession of those resources. These cues might have been indirect, such as personality characteristics that signaled a man’s upward mobility. They might have been physical, such as a man’s athletic ability or health. They might have included reputational information, such as the esteem in which a man was held by his peers. Economic resources, however, provided the most di…	/r/PurplePillDebate	11/02/21 10:10 PM
4	Men and women are more similar than RP people often think, and more different than BP people often think. Of course, changing circumstances definitely factor into it. However, there’s no universal quantifier applied to my statement. There are exceptions to the rule but I am simply claiming on average women prefer this. Being tall comes into play in a woman’s attraction in the sense that it shows he can offer protection. Not saying that physical appearance isn’t important to women, just like I’m not saying men don’t care about a woman’s status, financial situation, etc. My point is that men prioritiz…	/r/PurplePillDebate	11/02/21 09:27 PM
3	Men and women are more similar than RP people often think, and more different than BP people often think. Evolutionary psychology is one of my favorite topics to read about. Someone tried to tell me that the only difference between the sexes were their genitalia and that everything else is socially constructed. This is clearly counter to numerous pieces of scientific evidence that show otherwise. They even go so far to say what I am claiming is “biological determinism”. Books that I read which are good at explaining this: Sexual Nature/Sexual Culture by Steven D Pinkerton, The Evolution Of Desire: S…	/r/PurplePillDebate	11/02/21 07:15 PM
10	Men and women are more similar than RP people often think, and more different than BP people often think. Sexual dimorphism is deeply embedded in human biology — there are clear cognitive, psychological, and obviously physical differences that evolved a certain way to serve a set of functions that are suggestive of the benefits they may have held for our ancestors. Men have more spacial intelligence and are superior in their physical abilities / strength and other characteristics that define them and their role in early society as the “hunter” or “bread winner”. Physical appearance is more important…	/r/PurplePillDebate	11/02/21 07:00 PM
