| 5 | Debating with people who literally deny the “harsh” realities of behaviour that TRP let’s men know about is a waste of your timeIt's pointless if you're only there to convince others that you're right. You'll be walking into the exact gridlock you describe. If you're actually open to finding out what you could be wrong about (or why your experience doesn't ring true for everyone, I don't care who you are, that is always applicable) then you're off to a better start. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/12/22 07:39 PM |
| 1 | Q4Women: Have you ever lost attraction to an ex and then regain it?Yes, more than once. But it depends why it was lost and what changed. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/12/22 08:02 PM |
| 5 | What differences have you seen with the way women cheat vs how guys cheat?Loud and clear. Married ladies: is your husband failing to get the job done? Does he have ED, or too many pesky emotional problems to be the stud you need & deserve? Is he masturbating too much and fucking too little, or does he not eat your pussy anymore? No problem! Just find someone else! Trying for a baby and it just won't take? No big deal, try another dude's dick when your husband's not around, because this is the current decade and marriage isn't about fidelity anymore! You thought cheati… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/12/22 02:43 AM |
| 1 | How would you feel finding out a potential partner once appeared on "Gone Wild" DVDs?I would be extremely amused and want to see the footage. I would never stop teasing him about it either. If he regretted it, I would leave it alone and not bug him too much but knowing him the way I do, I doubt that would happen. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/12/22 04:19 AM |
| 4 | Women who won't see a man who's visited prostitutes, how would you even know that they have?And how would you know he's a virgin? What you gonna do, check his hymen? 😆 | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/10/22 10:50 PM |
| 1 | Q4W: Do you care whether or not a man has been “run through”?I don't really like the term but I do somewhat care. It's not a dealbreaker though. More of a yellow flag. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/09/22 06:17 PM |
| 2 | Orgasm countShe might not know what works either. A lot of women haven't had a man make much attempt beyond sticking his dick in her in whatever position he happens to like. There's trial and error. If she doesn't outright tell you what to do, she likely doesn't know what will work until you've tried it. If you actually touch her, she can tell you what she wants more of, or less of. Maybe the women that don't tell you, have never cum with a partner yet. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/09/22 02:46 PM |
| 7 | The average man isn't attracted to the average woman either.Not always, some have more glandular tissue. Plus people gain weight first in different areas depending on the person, and same is true for weight loss. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/09/22 06:09 PM |

| 3 | Women have a much more delusional idea of average than men doBecause it sounded like you were disagreeing with there having been a focus on male genitalia whereas female genitalia have for a long time been a less acceptable topic of discussion in the mainstream. I'm saying that ties right into the reasons for women's anatomy not having been studied much. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/08/22 12:09 AM |
| 4 | Women have a much more delusional idea of average than men doI don't know where you live, but not shaming women for their genitals is a fairly new thing. Growing up in the 90s and 2000s, it was extremely common. Shaming about labia size, colour, looseness, calling women sluts based on the look of their pussy. Labiaplasties were booming. There were cosmetic products of questionable safety to make labia look pinker. Shaming women for having pubes or body hair was big too. Body shaming was gross then, and it's gross now. Just like it's gross when it's done t… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/08/22 11:12 PM |
| 5 | Women have a much more delusional idea of average than men doDo you not see the connection? Deeming our bodies too vulgar (or conversely, too "sacred") to look at, or treating our differences as scientifically irrelevant and yet socially so critical. The cognitive dissonance involved. This is why it's taken as long as it has to recognize that we have anatomical and metabolic differences. We have existed in our different bodies since before the dawn of modern medicine. Every well-known early male scientist and doctor came out of a vagina. It's not a secret… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/08/22 10:53 PM |
| 3 | Women have a much more delusional idea of average than men doOr else the "very hot guys" aren't on their radar unless they see them in a movie, because they go for guys they are attracted to, who are also attainable, and then are unavailable because they are coupled with those guys. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/08/22 10:25 PM |
| 3 | Why do some men seem to think cheating is worse if it's the woman cheating?(I'm on mobile so please forgive the formatting) Yes, only one gender has to raise a child that's not his. It's not right, and I don't condone it. It can ruin lives. I also believe that if a woman initially agrees with her partner that any unintended pregnancies will be terminated, it's morally wrong for her to backtrack when it actually happens and decide to keep it instead. This is of course provided she finds out within the necessary timeframe and is readily able to access abortion. And it's … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/08/22 06:01 AM |
| 10 | Worried about foodie calls and pump-and-dumps are overblownOr men who care to avoid being "foodie called" (I'm sorry but that term is funny as fuck) shouldn't pay for meals, and women who don't want NSA sex, shouldn't have sex on first dates. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/08/22 12:33 AM |
| 2 | Why do some men seem to think cheating is worse if it's the woman cheating?Of course, but that's not something that's unique to women. It's only unique in the context of pregnancy being high-investment (and non-transferable.) | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/08/22 12:25 AM |
| 3 | Why do some men seem to think cheating is worse if it's the woman cheating?Would it be better if he stayed after cheating? Depends on who you ask and what you mean by "stay". There's a considerable difference between coming clean and trying to make things right...not demanding unearned trust or affection, versus staying but hiding the fact that he cheated while expecting the same fidelity and emotional investment from his partner as always, versus staying in the sense of being physically present to take her or the child to appointments, feeding, changing, and raising t… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/08/22 10:53 PM |
| 7 | Why do some men seem to think cheating is worse if it's the woman cheating?A man getting you pregnant and then leaving you for the woman he cheated with. Or worse, getting both of you pregnant. Or losing interest and being a deadbeat in general. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/08/22 05:31 PM |
| 5 | Women really dislike autistic menAutism does not primarily affect boys. It presents differently in girls. Also, men having to bear responsibility for women's actions through history? Women couldn't vote, own property, decide whether to bear children, etc. until recent history. So it's not as though it's a unidirectional phenomenon. Neither is having kids in your 30s and 40s. Older men's sperm causes more defects too. Sounds like you're suggesting that older women shouldn't reproduce because age increases autism risk in the offs… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/08/22 10:50 PM |

If your dicks have that strong of a hold on you I pity you and your loved ones who are clearly next in line 💀💀💀 | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/08/22 04:50 AM |
| 1 | “Pick better men” is a cop out to not hold men accountableWomen having more options on average does not erase men's veto power over who they fuck or date. A woman's hotness or her "yes" don't magically suck men into her vagina and trap them there forever. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/08/22 04:43 AM |
| 1 | Ladies - Would you 2nd guess your boyfriend/husband if other women didn't find him attractive?Fuck no, for one thing because I don't know many women I would consider to have good taste in men. I obviously need to be attracted to my partner, but I strongly prefer other people to stay out of my business. So no, I'm not picking on the basis of what other women think. We're not all meant to be vying for the same partners in any case, take the MHC for example, not to mention differing interests and life goals. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/07/22 09:47 PM |

| 2 | No "issues" presented by TRP are solvable without also compromising the idea that women deserve equal rights to men.Except that men will not all collectively make that decision of their own volition for the same reasons (and some different reasons) that women don't. It's either everyone agreeing that their needs and desires are best met in a monogamous heterosexual marriage, or some being pushed into marriages against their will. All men/women will never choose that. Whether it's men or women being forced, there will be a large number of people dissatisfied, and married people who didn't want to be married wi… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/07/22 10:31 PM |
| 1 | CMV: women do not "set up" male friends with other women unless he meets a certain attraction thresholdA party lets you meet people who have their guard down because they're probably drinking and surrounded by mainly people they know. It's a good pretext to introduce yourself and an easy place to talk to people you don't know. Your female friends might not be on the same page as you, thinking about your romantic future and all. If they are, and they do set you up, great. But widening your social circle isn't done just for you to rely on someone else to make the first move. You make people's acqua… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/06/22 05:31 PM |
| 2 | Men care about n-count:The MoratoriumPromiscuous men don't either. No one is entitled to a relationship, and women who prefer to keep it in their pants aren't likely to settle for a judgemental man who sleeps with women then ghosts them, has multiple child support payments and VD. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/05/22 07:39 PM |
| 6 | The whole “she probably wasn’t that interested” narrative asserted anytime a man complains about getting ghosted after a promising connection is made is bogus, more often than not it is a result of women’s abundance of options and not them feigning interest and giving you a number to get rid of youThe same outcome can be the result of different motivations depending on context. Option 1, she was drunk and horny, just wanted to get laid. Option 2, the chemistry was there but it became obvious really quickly that you two are not compatible for a relationship. Option 3, you two had sex and it wasn't good for her. Option 4, you started throwing up some red flags, she was horrified and decided to gtfo. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/05/22 08:52 PM |
| 6 | Study: Sexually Unsuccessful Men Retaliate By Endorsing Anti-Egalitarian Attitudes and Becoming Fiscally ConservativeThe only part of it I find concerning is the definition of "not treating you right", if it boils down to "not having sex with you'. Or if a handful of people's behaviour is being attributed to the entire rest of the population. Otherwise, why would you be expected to care about someone who treats you badly, why would you wish them well? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/05/22 05:59 PM |
| 1 | Do bisexual men have a difficult time with women because of their orientation? Would you date a bisexual man? If not, why?I strongly prefer bisexual men. Being bisexual (pansexual?) myself, the concept of straightness makes me feel trapped and depressed. It just does not appeal to me in any way. It feels like perceiving the world in a fundamentally different way, and it kind of extends beyond the bedroom. Straight people, in my experience, have a tendency to take certain norms for granted. Which, sure. Alright. They are norms because they are normal, I guess. But I find it impossible to relate when it appears that … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/05/22 10:43 PM |
| 1 | Has anyone else observed that women tend to characterize men they find cute or wholesome as being... sexless?Maybe some women do, if that's not what they prefer in a guy. I'm super into innocent and submissive guys though, so if I perceive a guy that way, chances are it's not in a wholesome, platonic way. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/05/22 09:45 PM |

If having sex with each other was why they did not progress into a relationship, then they were never suited to be together. She is not responsible for their not being in a relationship for the fact of having had sex. If he doesn't want to be in a relationship he isn't obligated to be in one but he is obligated to say so, not string her along, and not be a total prick about it.

We know. If a guy acts decent and chill with a woman, then sex happens between them and he flips and starts accusing her of things she hasn't done, insulting her and shit talking her, then he's got some issues to sort out and his behaviour is abusive.

There's a built-in power imbalance with someone very young and naïve.

| 1 | For people who have partaken in threesomes/foursomes; would you date someone who has also had that experience in their past?Sure. Did a little bit of couples play in my early 20s. Might want to try it a couple more times in my life but not certain. It isn't something I'd want to do often and I'm not absolutely certain I'll end up doing it again at all but I'd like the option open. If they were a person who's used to the swinger lifestyle as a routine thing, that wouldn't work for me.

| 2 | For people who have partaken in threesomes/foursomes; would you date someone who has also had that experience in their past?Yeah but at least you know that, it doesn't need to be a surprise that's gonna crop up in the middle of a relationship and ruin things after some drunken experimentation. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/04/22 03:59 AM |
| 3 | Would you date or marry a single mother or father?Depends. If they have a kid, a good co-parenting relationship with the ex and shared custody or visitation, sure. If they have a contentious relationship with the ex, multiple kids, or primary/sole custody, then probably not. I don't mind kids. I even like some of them. I've got one. But I'm not that keen to have any more of my own or anyone else's and I'm not in a good position to raise more even if I felt differently. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/04/22 03:52 AM |

I was saying the person you were replying to was saying essentially the opposite of that and that I agreed with it. It's unclear what part of their comment you were disputing when you said "Yep, you're definitely not a parent." I was making the point that I am a parent, yet I also take a similar view to the person with the keyboard smash username. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/04/22 01:23 AM |
| 6 | What are some apparently contradicting claims espoused by the same people, that you want to point out?I'm a parent and I agree with what they said. i would phrase it differently but I read it as encouraging children to pursue their own interests and follow their own path, to think critically rather than just blindly believe everything I say & grow up to become a replica of me. A good parent should raise a child who challenges their ideas, rather than just swallowing whatever they are told.

But that question would be on the back burner at least until they were stabilized. Would I abandon them? Also no. Still, a life event that major is bound to change a person. Having zero capacity to care for yourself in the most basic of ways will change you. Having to be someone's literal everything would do that too. I would not begin to know how to deal with it.

Thoughts and discussion.If you honestly believe that manipulation and coercion don't exist, are easily recognized, easily ignored, or fall entirely on the shoulders of those experiencing it, that would suggest you have a very limited understanding of human social behaviours, even for a layperson.

You can't, however, use imaginary people's behaviour in a made-up scenario to prove a point.

You don't believe women might date shitty men if they think so little of themselves they believe they're evenly matched?

| 1 | Brave TwoX-er teaches cheater she met on OKCupid a lesson. Bravely deletes her account when informed she just admitted to felony extortion.I never said it was criminal, I said that legality does not always equate with morality, and this is one of those cases. In some places consensual oral sex is illegal. That doesn't make it morally reprehensible, nor does cheating on your spouse become morally acceptable, just as long as the dick goes in the standard hole, simply because it's not illegal. Apparently, there are people in this world who can't wrap their heads around that idea. | /r/MensRights | 25/03/15 11:48 PM |

Bravely deletes her account when informed she just admitted to felony extortion.*No one who finds that particular law convenient and attractive cares. Law has nothing to do with morality.

Bravely deletes her account when informed she just admitted to felony extortion.No, lying about being married with a family when explicitly asked by someone you're dating is not the same as not having sex with someone who hoped to have sex with you. If there had been a verbal agreement that dinner was to be exchanged for sex, and the party offering sex recanted after dinner, then the party who initially offered sex would be in the wrong, whether legally enforceable or not.

You are conflating morality with legality. Threatening to reveal the truth about someone else's deceit and betrayal, does not make the person who committed the initial deceitful act into a victim, or an innocent, or deserving of moral support, whatever the methodology may or may not imply about the would-be "whistleblower" here.

Nothing more, nothing less. If singleness is a prerequisite for going on dates, which for many if not most people, it is (and as she clarified initially, it is for her) then I do indeed claim that he is morally, even if not legally obligated to reimburse her.

If that were the law, the father's choice not to keep the baby would then effectively overrule the mother's choice to keep it, and even with the procedure being of low risk to the mother, the risk to the father remains nil in any case.

And requiring someone to cooperate in ending a life when they are morally opposed to such an action is all kinds of messed up? Abortion is allowable because it's the lesser of two evils (the other being coercion of the mother to gestate, or in some cases it's bringing an unwell child into a world of intense suffering).

Yes. That is the idea. Because the custodial parent shouldn't be spending all of their money on the child so that they don't have any for anything else including themselves. The non-custodial parent should be expected to pay a portion of the child related expenses so that the custodial parent's income is not entirely eaten up by the child's needs.

All the money goes into the same bucket. Firstly, it is possible to regulate how the money is spent to some degree, such as with the use of a food-stamp type system only not of course just for food, or even a special debit card, which will log purchases and only allow items relevant to a child's needs.

I believe the child does deserve the opportunity to know his/her father, but a father who could, but simply doesn't want to help support the kid absolutely does not deserve to have a relationship with the child, and would not be a good influence on the child in any case. | /r/MensRights | 04/08/11 10:50 PM |
