1	Men, We’re Losing the Dating Culture War. Got it. So by "most journalists" you meant any journalist left of you personally. Which indeed encompass most journalists and probably most people. That's a very primitive and altogether ineffective way of staying informed. For anyone on either side of the political spectrum. Case in point, you definitely weren't able to understand the Markup's bombshell report nor are you able to distinguish the work of "most journalists" and works that are Pulitzer Prize front runners. Even if you think it's p…	/r/PurplePillDebate	13/08/25 09:31 PM
1	Men, We’re Losing the Dating Culture War. And by "most journalists" you mean any journalist who publishes facts you personally disagree with, yeah?	/r/PurplePillDebate	13/08/25 09:14 PM
7	economy profits from male loneliness and benefits when men stay single Excellent point. In that case I would tend to agree with you. I stand corrected. 😊	/r/PurplePillDebate	10/08/25 09:37 PM
3	economy profits from male loneliness and benefits when men stay single Right, that's one metric. Of many. The authors assert that, combining all the factors indicates that women drive up to 85% of consumer spending. Like, globally you're right. But that's kind of like appealing to energy conservation laws... there's a lot more going underneath that theoretical equilibrium.	/r/PurplePillDebate	10/08/25 09:25 PM
5	economy profits from male loneliness and benefits when men stay single Nope. Not with regards to consumer spending anyway. Source.	/r/PurplePillDebate	10/08/25 09:01 PM
8	economy profits from male loneliness and benefits when men stay single it's actually shockingly common, can confirm	/r/PurplePillDebate	10/08/25 08:58 PM
1	economy profits from male loneliness and benefits when men stay single Actually, with regards to online dating, men are the majority of paid subscribers. Men who have dated online are more likely than women to report having paid for these sites and apps (41% vs. 29%). source	/r/PurplePillDebate	10/08/25 08:56 PM
2	Men, We’re Losing the Dating Culture War. No. Your question assumes that investigative journalists who write articles about corporate systematic disregard for safety are purely motivated by a desire to hurt corporations financially. An assumption I disagree with. It's troubling to me that this would be your assumption.	/r/PurplePillDebate	10/08/25 08:24 PM
2	Men, We’re Losing the Dating Culture War. I think they clearly wrote the article to highlight the fact that Match Group allows bad actors to remain as paid subscribers for financial reasons. And I think your assessment that their intent was to show "all men are rapists" is preposterous. Like super crazy.	/r/PurplePillDebate	10/08/25 07:34 PM
2	Men, We’re Losing the Dating Culture War. If men's lightning strike risks increase from .0001% to .001%, characterizing that as a 1000% risk increase would be silly. Especially when presented next to data showing women's increase of 5% to 7%. So to characterize men's risk as the greater increase is disingenuous at best. The red pill crowd's math skills have been very disappointing on this thread.	/r/PurplePillDebate	10/08/25 05:12 PM
2	Men, We’re Losing the Dating Culture War. Did... you read the article? It seems to show the opposite of that. As in, a minority of rapists might be disproportionately over represented among online dating app users. For business reasons.	/r/PurplePillDebate	10/08/25 05:05 PM
–	How would you want to be told that your married partner is sleeping around? Hire a private investigator. It's a stupidly expensive amount of money to spend on a relationship you're that distrustful of... but if don't care HOW you find out then... there are people willing to go that extra mile to get you the evidence you desire.	/r/PurplePillDebate	10/08/25 06:21 AM
–	How would you want to be told that your married partner is sleeping around? What would that be to you? You don't want to know how many answers there are to that question. Have a lil imagination! Beyond just extortion (such a powerful information gathering tool) the Tea App is simply just the beginning. You could spend lots of money on a whole private investigator. But if you're willing to blow that much cash then just leave. A relationship with that level of trust issues isn't worth wasting that typa money on.	/r/PurplePillDebate	10/08/25 02:44 AM
–	How would you want to be told that your married partner is sleeping around? Great answer to an admittedly cheeky question. I'll push back on b a bit, tho... I can definitely think of ways of finding out that are decidedly worse than not finding out at all.	/r/PurplePillDebate	10/08/25 02:31 AM
1	Men, We’re Losing the Dating Culture War. "un-ask the question" bro gtf outta here. None of your general global statements about "men" apply here. That means, without adjustment, your normal talking points don't apply. And I see you are unable to adjust. Or even recognize the issue. Which is, frankly, embarrassing. Good day.	/r/PurplePillDebate	10/08/25 01:46 AM
2	Men, We’re Losing the Dating Culture War. it would seem to me that the heterosexual dating scene is not a particularly high risk endeavor for men in terms of sexual assault. Based on which numbers are you disagreeing with this statement. Of all the various social situations a man could be in, which ones do you think are at a lesser risk for sexual assault then men with the free time, money, and inclination to engage in the heterosexual dating scene? This is not the majority of men. At all. It is a subset. We can cut it down to ~30% base…	/r/PurplePillDebate	10/08/25 01:11 AM
1	Men, We’re Losing the Dating Culture War. I'm a software engineer and physicist/mathmatician in training. I actually have no business interpreting these numbers, to be clear. But...while I agree with your broader assessment about the risk men face globally, it would seem to me that the heterosexual dating scene is not a particularly high risk endeavor for men in terms of sexual assault. On or offline. Men lucky enough to be hitting the dating scene seem to face a lower sexual assault risk than men in most other situations. What's weird …	/r/PurplePillDebate	10/08/25 12:10 AM
1	Men, We’re Losing the Dating Culture War. That is precisely how numbers work. Is it? Or did I miss a decimal place? If so, in which direction? 🤔	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/08/25 11:44 PM
2	Men, We’re Losing the Dating Culture War. Whether or not it is disingenuous depends on whether the increase was deliberately framed that way for sensationalism and to manipulate people's perception. K we've reached the end of my patience. I will just state plainly that the way you are framing numbers is far more disingenuous than the way in which the authors of any of the studies linked by either you or me chose to frame the numbers. I'm not impressed with your math skills It's actually one of areas of expertise. Good day.	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/08/25 11:37 PM
2	Men, We’re Losing the Dating Culture War. That is not how you do numbers. If my risk of getting struck by lightning jumps from .0001% all the way to .001% it would be disingenuous for me to describe that as a 1000% increase in risk. Sit down, sir. I'm not even sure you know what it is you're arguing against anymore.	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/08/25 11:18 PM
5	Men, We’re Losing the Dating Culture War. And the data in Table 1 on page 6307 clearly shows the rate of men raped while using dating apps almost doubled compared to men raped not using dating apps. It went from single digits to single digits. The thing is, you have this universal frame of reference which has gotten so bad it's affecting your ability to interpret numbers or, indeed, do math. I'm pretty sure I found a context where hard numbers don't support your universal theory. I'm not arguing with the studies you cited that are broad…	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/08/25 10:58 PM
6	Men, We’re Losing the Dating Culture War. heads up, math is not the strong suit of the "Anti-feminist egalitarian man", apparently	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/08/25 10:33 PM
4	Men, We’re Losing the Dating Culture War. Valentine et al. (p 6303) An analysis of cases within this study (n=163) found that 85% of the victims were female with 72% of assaults occurring at the victim’s or perpetrator’s residence (NCA, 2016). Also. Bad math. You aren't even interpreting the numbers you cherry picked correctly. Calm down man.	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/08/25 10:30 PM
4	Men, We’re Losing the Dating Culture War. You mean the article you mentioned in the other comment, where the study pointed out that men and people with mental illnesses are 200% an 50% more likely to be raped through dating apps rather than meeting in person? 🤦🏻 no it doesn't bro. at all. please read a bit slower and a bit more carefully.	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/08/25 10:16 PM
4	Men, We’re Losing the Dating Culture War. DAppSA victims had unique characteristics including a higher percentage of male victims (7.5%), college students (22.2%), and victims with self-reported mental illness (MI) (59.6%). In other words, MEN ARE 2X LIKELY TO BE ABUSED VIA DATING APPS, and when the story got picked up, it was published under "WOMEN FACE MORE RISKS". 🤦🏻 read a little slower and a little more thoughtfully please. You're making classic math mistakes and the rate at which you're making them is not helping your case.	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/08/25 10:04 PM
2	Men, We’re Losing the Dating Culture War. That Scientific American article is very clearly broader in scope then the context of Online Dating. We're not talking about prison. The Markup study I linked is one of several investigations that show Online Dating presents a demonstrably elevated risk of sexual assault, specifically for women. And I'm sure Match Group, Inc. would love for you to focus on anything else. EDIT: added link	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/08/25 09:16 PM
5	Men, We’re Losing the Dating Culture War. I don't think any of those citation-free statistics would apply to the context of online dating. Online dating presents a demonstrably elevated sexual assault risk for specifically women.	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/08/25 09:03 PM
14	Men, We’re Losing the Dating Culture War. It's just an article describing how the corporate owners of Hinge and Tinder knowingly keep rapists as paying subscribers and resist implementing common sense tools to identify and ban them cross-platform. I phrased that sentence exactly as intended.	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/08/25 08:31 PM
–	How would you want to be told that your married partner is sleeping around? So... not thru the Tea App, then?	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/08/25 08:08 PM
3	Men, We’re Losing the Dating Culture War. That's the crux of the issue. Regardless of gender, perpetrators of sexual assault rarely face any real consequences.	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/08/25 07:27 PM
4	Men, We’re Losing the Dating Culture War. Yah that tracks. I think the article implies that they do "content moderation" on a per-app basis, each one using a different set of dummies, none of them consistently utilizing any cross platform tools. But... those cross platform tools exist though. One of them is called Sentinel. And now I'm just oh so curious what they do with that Sentinel data. They could, for instance, "anonymize" and sell the data to a "data and safety analytics" vendor. And then there's a few places that data could go f…	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/08/25 07:23 PM
33	Men, We’re Losing the Dating Culture War. Actually, with regards to online dating, it's not so simple. Seems like right now is a great time to be a rapist, actually. I think the corporations behind the apps keep the Online Dating Culture war going for business reasons. You ever wonder how the Tea App was able to amass such a large database so quickly? 🤔	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/08/25 05:35 PM
–	More men should be standing up for the free speech of AWDTSG and Tea app It's a protection racket. Men pay for dating apps. Women don't. Match Group knows who the rapists are but those are customers and we don't ban customers. Match Group, Inc. sells it's customer data to a data broker who sells it to Tea Dating Advice, Inc. who sells it to women for $14.99/mo. That's how Match Group is able to monetize physical and sexual assault. It's extortion.	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/08/25 02:55 AM
2	The new Tea app kinda proves hypergamy In the time since this conversation I've learned a lot. The dating apps, particularly the Match Group and Bumble apps, are horrifyingly dangerous. I definitely see the need to protect women's safety from a culture that profits from abuse. I didn't realize an abuser needs multiple verified reports to be banned from Tinder... but can hop right onto Hinge same profile, same details, same credit card info. They're both owned by Match Group. They have the tools to identify these guys and they just do…	/r/PurplePillDebate	05/08/25 05:24 AM

10	'Tea App' rage just proves men cannot handle being treated like women. "He's married." "He ghosted me". Poll of "Should I date this guy who I just saw out with another woman?" clearly indicate that this is a social media site. You cannot force men to have their publicly identifiable information hosted on a social media site against their will. That is not okay. I don't want my name and photos listed, locations posted, or a fucking flag counter on a profile I didn't create, on some app I never heard of before.	/r/PurplePillDebate	04/08/25 05:43 AM
1	The new Tea app kinda proves hypergamy This boycott is targeted at men who value consent and basic human rights and want to take meaningful action.

1	The new Tea app kinda proves hypergamy No. Have as many men as possible avoid the apps so that their location data (among so many other things) doesn't become a matter of public record. It's a quick way to force awareness caused by the pressure it puts on three specific publicly traded companies.

It's incredibly likely you have a profile on Tea containing personal details and geographical information. And if you don't today you will tomorrow. It's a paid service that offers promos and discounts to women who provide data and it is unbelievably popular. AWDTSG and Tea have a combined userbase of women in the tens of millions.

And... there is mounting evidence that at least one of the publicly traded companies on that list is in bed with the same parasitic data brokers powering AWDTSG and Tea. We'll never get all the guys to stop dating women. But these apps function off of very carefully split userbases, sensitive to imbalance at both a local and global level.

5	The new Tea app kinda proves hypergamy *the notion that women need an app like Tea for safety reasons.

4	The new Tea app kinda proves hypergamy I get it. Consent is a big deal. And historically the application of consent has been asymmetrical. I'm in no way minimizing women's struggles.

And the fact that you won't be able to see it until a male version of an app pops us and uses Facial Recognition to catalog women and AI to ban women from viewing the catalog... well it speaks volumes. No male version of Tea currently exists but one will soon. And it will be likely be far worse than Tea and pretty difficult to legally defend against if we let Tea set precedent.	/r/PurplePillDebate	30/07/25 02:41 PM

–	The new Tea app kinda proves hypergamy “Consent” does not mean “people cannot gossip about you without your permission.” If so, celebrities have their “consent” violated constantly. The issues involved with the Tea app are related to privacy and bullying, which are valid issues but certainly not exclusive to that app in any way. Great. So the Body Count app is fine then? Remember your inclusion into the Body Count database happens without your knowledge or consent and you will be unable to audit whatever information is collected abou…	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/07/25 10:53 PM

3	The new Tea app kinda proves hypergamy I understand that you don't care. But you understand how some women might care right? Should those women be forced onto the Body Count app against their will?	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/07/25 10:48 PM

4	The new Tea app kinda proves hypergamy When you suddenly find out that your sexual history is being tracked in a centralized database controlled by men... Tea has a database of male profiles in the millions ...and powered by facial recognition technology on a app called "Body Count"... Tea uses facial recognition technology to assist with browsing this database that uses AI to block you from even knowing if you're on it or not Tea uses AI to block men from accessing any information that may have been collected on them and you have no…	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/07/25 10:33 PM
–	Online dating and the internet have not ruined dating, but only changed it for the better I disagree, this is rock bottom. While the vibe of the male version would be different, it doesn't matter because the key component missing from the equation is simply consent. I'd join Tea voluntarily if that was an option. But for an app to maintain a dossier on me cataloging outrageously personal details against my will is fucking disgusting. It's a whole human rights violation no matter how you swap the genders.	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/07/25 10:27 PM
5	The new Tea app kinda proves hypergamy The Tea App uses AI to block men from accessing it. So all information about any male on that app was ostensibly uploaded by a third party without that mans ability to consent. This information is stored in indexed searchable social media profiles powered by facial recognition technology. There are ratings for "emotional maturity" and "bedroom skills" so any claims that this is for safety are perverse. Men have no ability to opt out. No ability to audit the information being collected by them. N…	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/07/25 10:23 PM

–	The new Tea app kinda proves hypergamy They're going to make an app called Body Count, make it a male only app that uses AI to block women from accessing, and allows men to use the personally identifiable information of women to track their sexual histories. And to defend the app they're going to say "The Body Count app proves that a lot of Good Women who supposedly have a low body count and would treat a man great if they could, are oddly very worried and offended about the same Town Pump Becky all the men are dating getting exposed…	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/07/25 10:16 PM
–	The new Tea app kinda proves hypergamy It's a site where third parties use PII to create social media profiles for men on their behalf without their knowledge or consent. Profiles containing outrageously private details usually of a sexual nature, all created without the ability for men to even give consent. The wildest shit is y'all think men already have some version of this and I assure you they do not. No such app exists. But ever since Tea's newfound popularity, I assure you such apps are now in development. When you suddenly fi…	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/07/25 10:12 PM

–	Online dating and the internet have not ruined dating, but only changed it for the better No large ones that I know of. They spring up amongst small groups of males who pretty much have to swear to secrecy cause the moment anyone finds out you're in a facebook group for the specific purposes of discussing members of the opposite sex people get mad. A friend of mine told me of such a group chat that contained no pictures whatsoever just discussion and it cost like 5 guys their jobs. Still they exist and while they are not all toxic, many of them are. None involve facial recognitio…	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/07/25 09:56 PM
–	Online dating and the internet have not ruined dating, but only changed it for the better What app allows men to upload a woman's personally identifiable information to a website to build a social media profile containing outrageously personal details against her will? And uses facial recognition to make these profiles searchable? And uses AI to specifically block victimized women from even knowing they've been victimized? And has even a fraction of the popularity of Tea?	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/07/25 09:47 PM
3	Women are amazing I disagree. Counterpoint 1 - The widespread popularity of the Tea app. The Tea App's #1 position in the app store is, under no uncertain terms, widespread failure of specifically women to apply consent. Counterpoint 2 - The defenders of the Tea app claim the point of the app is for "safety". But this was gaslighitng even before the leaks proved that to be super false. It is clearly a dating website where women can browse prospective partners whose personally identifiable information has been col…	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/07/25 09:25 PM
–	Online dating and the internet have not ruined dating, but only changed it for the better I refuse to enter a dating scene where any random prospective partner can create a social media profile for me against my will and fill it with outrageously personal details usually of a sexual nature. The Tea App is a whole human rights violation and I refuse to tolerate it as a prerequisite to enter the dating scene.	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/07/25 09:03 PM
–	The new Tea app kinda proves hypergamy The Tea app is custom designed to facilitate the creation of social media profiles for Individuals by Third Parties without their knowledge or consent. Marketed under the perverse guise of "safety" the site functions much more like Yelp than any sort of consumer protection agency. Victims are unable to view their own profiles, contest any information they might maintain and, crucially, there is no opt-out mechanism. Despite claims of "safety" the apps interface suggests it functions much more li…	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/07/25 08:52 PM
1	TEA app is not a big deal, men do it all the time in vanilla spaces You misunderstand how the app fundamentally works. AI is used to ban men from accessing the app. Every picture, every piece of personally identifiable information that relates to a man was not uploaded to Tea by that man. You can cheat the shitty system of course but my argument relates to this being a fundamentally awful idea. I am unable to opt out of the Tea app. I have no way to know if I've been victimized and no mechanism for recourse. I do not need to have any other social media apps. Any…	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/07/25 05:24 PM
1	TEA app is not a big deal, men do it all the time in vanilla spaces You do not need a Facebook or Instagram or any social media account to have a Tea account created for you without your knowledge or consent. There is no opt out. And no, no such male equivalent has ever existed. At no point was AI used to block victims from even knowing they've been victimized. Not on a scale anywhere near the scale of Tea which is still number 1 in the app store. It's a consent violation. A clear and disgusting violation of consent and basic human rights.

1	TEA app is not a big deal, men do it all the time in vanilla spaces The internet doesn't use AI to ban women whilst allowing men to use women's PII and facial recognition software to create social media profiles for those women without their knowledge or consent for the purposes of logging outrageously private details often of a sexual nature. There is no male equivalent of Tea but the widespread popularity of Tea guarantees several such apps are now in development.

14	It's Time to Get Serious and Shut Down Tea Tea is a social media app that I am unable to opt out of or even know if I'm on. It is custom designed for the collection of phone numbers, physical addresses, and outrageously personal details often of a sexual nature. Any woman can make a profile for me against my will and I have no mechanism for recourse. You're out of your mind if you think we just going to let this disgusting and obviously predatory shit go.

2	TEA app is not a big deal, men do it all the time in vanilla spaces The Tea app is designed for third parties to use Personally Identifiable Information to create social media profiles (featuring outrageously personal details often of a sexual) for individuals without their knowledge or consent.

The Tea app represents a profound violation of personal and civil liberties and the disgusting app's widespread popularity among women speaks volumes.	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/07/25 03:45 AM
19	It's Time to Get Serious and Shut Down Tea The Tea app is not about safety. "Ghosting" is not a safety issue. Tea is a social media app. Creating a social media account for anyone without their knowledge or consent for the purposes of sharing outrageously private details (often of a sexual nature) is a profound human rights violation. And the Tea app is custom designed to enable this disgusting behavior at scale. The fact that this is a controversial opinion is bananas.	/r/MensRights	29/07/25 03:31 AM
