Not a good study as it doesn't show much data about the participants (e.g., age, marital status), nor does it even specify how many mothers participated. Have anything else?

One point I don't think has been made so far: high-earnings and undesirable traits are correlated. Traits including bossiness, competitiveness and "career first" mentality are selected for in high-earners and yet are undesirable traits in women with regard to relationships.

It's not clear, but I suspect your argument is that by letting this situation continue, we're creating a kind of evolutionary pressure on men to become "fitter". To adapt to this environment and come out the other end stronger. I have two problems with that argument. First, we can already see what kind of men are more "fit" in this environment than Dads from the past: Chads. Bad-boy types who do limit investment in women (and society at large) beyond getting their immediate needs met. Chads have…

My initial reaction is to simply not believe her. Supposing I somehow became convinced it were true, placing her near the 90th percentile of women, then there will be some underlying cause. I would simply need to know what that was and pass judgment on it.

TRPillers don't promote an honest understanding of the differences between men and women. They're openly biased and promote a lot of pseudoscience. You're wrong, but I don't care to change your mind on this. Causing undeserved hardship to people because they were born with specific genitals is not morally questionable in your opinion? Don't know what reasoning you used to reach that question. And you completely disregarded the questions I offered to help guide discussion based on what you starte…

Your view is vague and stops short of claiming anything worth arguing against. The reason why promoting sexism based on dubious "evidence" and promoting overgeneralizations is wrong is because it can affect the everyday life of people Decent start, but in what way does it affect lives? It's not enough to say that it causes hardship, as one person's hardship is often another's benefit. It is reasonable to cause hardship to some people so that others will benefit, depending on the circumstances. v…

Since when? A long time. And the power to both stand up for yourself, protect those you care about, and inspire the best in others? That's when you're really dealing from a position of strength. We're disagreeing on terms. I don't use the word nice to describe acts you're describing, not by a longshot. Besides, an asshole who is just trying to cover up their vulnerability isn't exactly dealing from a position of power. You're assuming that acting like an asshole implies you have vulnerability an…

Overall I agree, but asshole behavior has an edge that nice behavior typically doesn't. Asshole behavior broadcasts a "don't give a fuck" attitude that nice behavior never can. Asshole behavior is at least agnostic of and at most harmful to other people's feelings, suggesting that the Asshole is in such a position as to not need to worry about other people's feelings. This of course is a good description of someone in a position of power like you mention. People make this deduction instinctually…

I don't see this happening, but as a thought exercise I'll entertain the idea. It would certainly change the SMP, but the change would take a long time: perhaps a generation or two before attitudes adjust. It'd be hard to predict the response because such a huge change would certainly cascade other changes. I agree with your prediction in an increase in birth control and other contraceptives, but there'd be more than that. I would expect a great deal of law to further regulate fathers in such a …

Tolerated? Such a man can aim higher than that. He needs to first figure out what about himself is so off-putting to women and decide to either change or make it into a strength. The last thing such a man should be doing is submitting to the label.

Taxes are the most likely instrument (but perhaps not the only one). As our express goal is to incentivize family formation, levying a tax on those desiring not to form a family fits the bill. With regard to loss of economic power, the context you're assuming is individual loss. What I'm proposing is that economic power be concentrated in a family unit: individual men and women would transfer economic power to a new entity that is more powerful (and valuable to society) than the sum of the parts…

You won't incentivize people to have children by making it even more unlikely they can afford to. If they were economic incentives, then they could afford to. Besides, if that were to happen it would most likely be women staying home more often, leading to a gender divide in economic power. That's a much worse thing than a declining birth rate. It may happen, but I'm not convinced that is bad.

I can't think of anything we do as a culture to incentivize having children, let alone coerce. I wouldn't call parental leave much of an incentive to have children, as there has never been someone who was on the fence about having children where parental leave clinched it. What do I want? I don't know what specific policies I would be in favor of but I will say that I want policies that reward 2-parent households and disincentivize single parent households. I want to disincentivize couples both …

2)People are more materialistic today. They will prefer to have only 1-2 kids and live a better life economically, than have lots of kids and live poorly. I won't argue against it, but I do claim that such a trend is reversible even cyclical. We could do better to incentivize family formation.

The reason TRP is against marriage is because of the environment it's practiced in. Given that women are more likely to divorce a man and destroy his family than ever, marriage is far less attractive than it used to be. TRP takes the stance that it's a sucker's bet and recommends against men getting married at all.
/r/PurplePillDebate18/07/16 03:53 PM

There is plenty of research showing that the more sex partners a woman has before marriage, the greater the risk that couple has of divorcing. It did not happen likewise with men's sex partners. Hence why TRP has a strong stance on the issue.

The question is why the fuck should we sacrifice ourselves for society? What is "society"? If you're not working for yourself, who are you working for? Religion? Nationalism? The elites? Assuming you're from the United States, society provides the entirety of the lifestyle you're accustomed to. Jobs, infrastructure, food, clean water, medical care... all are provided and maintained by a system set up before we were born. Compare that to developing nations and I'd readily argue it's worth making …

In the United States, 70 percent of mothers with children under 18 are in the labor force. In 38 percent of marriages with an employed wife, she earns more than he does. Not that long ago, women's education and income were only minor assets for attracting a husband. Today, they matter. Of course, women have long sought these attributes in men. What's new is that men now choose wives in a similar way. I don't agree that these statistics suggest a shift in male preferences in favor of employed or …

The sub's stated goal is to discuss sexual strategy, which necessarily includes discussing women's behavior as a group. It only follows that the members frequently attribute behavior to all women, and would less often make statements about men's behavior as a group.

Ridiculous. Women absolutely do participate in mate selection, but not typically in the ways men do. For example, men are much more likely to approach unfamiliar women and women are more likely to start up an innocuous conversation hoping it will lead in that direction. Add to that the changes in dynamics in different stages in life (for example, dating in high school vs. speed dating events in adulthood), it's absurd to think that men are the actors choosing women, the reactors.

If someone gets an attractive woman, that means there's one attractive woman less on the market, and the opportunities you have become inferior. You're assuming women do not respond to changes in the SMP. If TRP knowledge were to become well-known, men's behavior would change at a large scale, and the SMP would change. It could change for the better, e.g., if women were routinely called out on their bad behavior, they have would have incentive to change it.

I disagree with your assertion that women's looks don't weigh that much more: they weigh considerably more. With that in mind, I'm convinced that each sex has a domain in which it can work on its SMV. For women, that is primarily looks, but to a lesser extent there are areas such as personality that they can work at. For men, looks are still important, but personality, social status, wealth, game; all contribute substantially to SMV. This isn't to say that men must work harder: simply that they …

It's also important to step away from the Web sometimes as paying attention to all the crazies in the world will in turn make you crazy.

A lack of an approach is not an alternate approach. Face it, TRP/PUA is the only game in town. It doesn't have to be that way, but there's nothing that comes close.

It wasn't meant to be a zinger; it's a legitimate criticism. Many factors contribute to business decisions which have little to do with its direct, measurable economic outcome. For example, if a hiring manager has a choice in hiring two people, the first is certain to bring in more business than the second, but the first will be more difficult to work with. Some businesses will choose the second to maintain a pleasant work culture.

This mentality is lazy and does no one any good. It gives no insight into what the purpose of marriage is (or should be), and why anyone should get married.

The base assumption is that male sexuality is damaging to women. This is not true. A more useful model would be that the stakes for heterosexual intercourse are a category higher than homosexual intercourse due to the possibility of offspring. Slut-shaming enters the picture as a control on the female side of heterosexual sex due to the possibility of offspring. Since there's no chance of it with homosexual sex, the social structures around it are far less evolved.

So one thing I really don't understand is why it's so bad for a woman to be a slut... But if a woman wants to have sex with multiple people before dating and finding the man she wants to marry, why is that bad according to TRP? Being a slut isn't bad in and of itself. But marrying a slut is a bad idea for multiple reasons: Past behavior is relevant when predicting future behavior. There is evidence to suggest that women's notches before marriage affects her self-reported level of marital happine…

I find it useful to think of RP theory in terms of a completely unscientific bell-shaped probability distribution, where the X-axis is the "amount or intensity" of a given trait and the Y-axis is the number of women out of all women that respond favorably to that trait. The takeaway is that there is always tiny fraction of women that respond to all of a trait or none of a trait. It's up to you to judge where one woman falls on that graph. Lesbians and other anomalies have to be excluded (or incr…

So, when the modern couple gets "married", they are agreeing to terms they don't know about, breach of which will not be punished, and the dissolution of which will be handled by a templatized process that someone else has decided is fair for everyone. This insight is brilliant. One obvious solution when the problem is laid bare like this, is to convert marriage into a normal contract, enforceable through conventional channels. It'll never happen, but at least it's workable.

There's a strong theme in feminism where it only does good things for everyone and never does anything bad. If by some twisted logic you can claim that feminism did a bad thing X, it turns out you're mistaken. In fact feminism is fighting to stop X.

Think of it as a case of rewards vs. punishment. A position of control ensures submission through punishments for resistance, i.e., by appealing to the other's desire to avoid pain. Rewards for submission may or may not be included but fail to outweigh the potential punishment.

Punishments for resistance still exist but may be simply inherent in the situation. If you …

You've misunderstood the point, but it's not your fault. TRP spends a lot of time worshipping the alpha and demonizing the beta.

I'm always disarmed when a woman uses an indirect opener: I don't suspect you have hostile intentions. If you like where it goes from there, experiment with leading him to ask you out by dropping hints like "We should get together for drinks" or if you were speaking of an activity, insert that. “Hey, My name’s Derpina. I think you’re cute and I’d like to get to know you more, could I have your number?” I have a major distrust of handing out my number to girls without getting theirs because it ro…

at least obtain a commitment of exclusivity before taking on another sexual partner In the current SMP, this is a tall order. And its tallness progresses in line with the man's SMV. I once read advice in here from a RPW to have sex once you've decided you want to keep him around: a rule much more inclined to get both parties what they want.

I watched the entire episode and the wife's behavior is precious. In the beginning when the restaurant is in trouble, all she can talk about is "I don't know what we're doing, the relationship is strained," etc. But at the end when the rebrand is a success she says, "that's my man!" When he fails (a failure she had a hand in, no less) she's evaluating her options. When he succeeds, she owns it. She has many faults displayed in the episode but the disloyalty was subtle.

She smooches me after that. I look at her and tell her "You have the right mix of confidence and insecurity." She's taken aback at first, and then laughs "Well, that's something I've never heard before." More smooches. This is a good example of a neg. It's not an insult (as negs are often confused for) and like the best ones, it's not for general purpose use.

I'm new to this sub and I can't wrap my head around TRP idea that RPW don't exist It's not that RPW don't exist: they certainly do. Because western society offers powerful incentives to act otherwise, it takes considerable self-control to be a RPW. Couple that with active discouragement of RP values, it's no wonder they're so few. Surely both of us are looking for the same things? A core tenet of TRP is that men and women are not looking for the same things. However, it doesn't mean that they ca…

I don't expect him to listen to reason. Are you willing to do something drastic? Are you up for being manipulative? She sounds like the type that would fall for an arranged situation where she will cheat on him. Leverage knowledge of that deed into her breaking it off with him or if she refuses (likely), you'll tell him yourself. Be sure to prepare your plan for a false rape accusation too, as it is the most effective defense that requires no proof.

We see this defense a lot from women: a woman's sexual history is no business of a man. We already know that hiding her sexual history serves the feminine imperative, but I'm noticing something new to explain it. Women love this defense because it conveniently holds up in the court of fairness. Women don't care about a man's sexual history (for the most part), so it's only fair that men don't pry into women's.

Let us at least appreciate the women taking the high road in this dilemma.

The wider definition is more useful because it encapsulates more observable phenomena.

Hypergamy isn't constantly seeking out the best partner, it's only being satisfied when you feel your partner is better than you. This is not the case.

Such a claim creates obligation on someone else, telling him/her how to behave. You consider yourself loving and respectful, but what if I disagree? If I withhold love and respect I have broken a contract I never agreed to. This is why entitled behaviors irk people. A more agreeable frame is "I consider myself loving and respectful. If you aren't loving and respectful, don't expect it from me." This leaves the choice in behavior where it belongs: with the other person.
