| 3 | Ladies of r/exredpill what inspires you to help and advice men here?I totally agree with this. I used to occasionally comment on purplepill and ended up thoroughly frustrated because nobody actually wanted to hear/believe a different perspective. I like that this is a much more supportive atmosphere for people who may just need a little more support in leaving that mindset, rather than just doubling down on their own toxic beliefs. | /r/ExRedPill | 19/02/22 05:55 PM |
| 4 | Self-improvementIt’s always good to try and be the best version of yourself. However, a lot of RP tends to focus on self improvement with a focus on things they think is needed to attract women. And that thought process is then built on a sexist platform with little respect for women. The beauty is that people don’t have to be perfect. But quality partners will see through the sexism of RP and want nothing to do with it, no matter how much self improvement is done. The best thing is being able to improve the mi… | /r/ExRedPill | 11/02/22 12:42 AM |
| 3 | Why haven't women produced an alternative to the redpill that actually works?There’s a vast difference between women wanting casual Sex and the type of behaviors RP endorses. Plus, many RP think women with “high body counts” are not able to commit in relationships and other horseshit. So why would a woman help men manipulate women into sex who then do not respect them at all BECAUSE it is casual sex? Emotional manipulation to get laid is a form of abuse. Lying about yourself and who you are to get laid is emotional manipulation. | /r/ExRedPill | 06/02/22 05:36 PM |
| 5 | Why haven't women produced an alternative to the redpill that actually works?Even as a griff, it’s not a great look for a woman to “teach” sexist men how to use and abuse women. Teaching someone how to emotionally manipulate a person into bed who is not inherently attracted to the other person already is just skeezy. Now dating on the other hand..there are tons of places to go for dating advice but redpillers don’t want to hear it because they refuse to believe things women say. Which leads me to another pint- even if a women did try this grift, it would never get attent… | /r/ExRedPill | 06/02/22 03:23 PM |
| 13 | Another question for women: Would you consider a relationship with someone who considered themselves Red Pill or outright identifies as Red Pill?Ditto | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/11/21 03:50 PM |
| 14 | Are women really the choosers?Ultimately it’s a mutual decision of both parties. I think both have to be invested for something healthy to develop. I also think the idea of choosing is based on perspective. If a guy approached a woman and she agrees to date him, some would say it’s him that did the choosing and some would say it’s her that chose to say yes and date him. Same thing if a woman approached a guy. Some would see it as the woman choosing the guy but it could also be the guy choosing to say yes and date the woman. | /r/ExRedPill | 07/10/21 11:39 PM |
| 3 | Do older men even like younger women let alone hit on them?This is anecdotal but viewing the people in my life (older, peers, friends, acquaintances, family, younger), it seems like those with the biggest age gaps are those that 1) want someone young and pliable, 2) fo younger because women their age won’t date them, or 3) are going through a midlife crisis. Many other guys who date closer to their age will do so because they say they 1) feel like dating teenagers is gross and predatory, 2) want someone compatible with similar life experiences or 3) wan… | /r/ExRedPill | 06/10/21 03:14 PM |
| 7 | Women of exredpill, is it true you don't like it when men are vulnerable with you?I absolutely agree with pencilbride above! I have had a lot of male and female friends in college and afterwards. Friendships and romantic relationships mean so much more when people are vulnerable because you are getting a chance to know the real person inside. Oh yes, there are the friends that only know the “party/fun face” but they often remain fairly superficial relationships. I can’t connect with a romantic partner if things remain superficial either. I need to understand and know the pers… | /r/ExRedPill | 30/09/21 10:58 PM |
| 2 | What are your family/parents like?Me: adopted. Adoptive parents divorced and both remarried but never spoke ill of each other. I grew up with two well-functioning families who were extremely loving and did not fight or have any significant issues other than my adoptive dad’s original infidelity that led to the divorce. My mom was a bit of a helicopter and tiger mom but it helped push me when I needed it. I’ve had a mix of short and long relationships but with the exception of a couple that I exited ASAP, most were with decent an… | /r/ExRedPill | 29/09/21 06:04 PM |
| 13 | The Red Pill teaches that women can't love you for you. Suggestions on how to get past that?Our of curiosity. Would you say that men can love women for themselves and not what they “provide” (be it beauty, sex, intelligence, companionship, love, mother, children, etc)? In that sense, women should be worried about the same thing, that men can never love them for who they are, that they can never love us and only care about what our bodies provide. It’s such a silly statement because we all look for something in a partner that adds (love, friendship, companionship, conversation, etc) to … | /r/ExRedPill | 28/09/21 03:52 PM |
| 10 | Important question: how is guy supposed to be like to be considered GOOD ENOUGH to date?I think that comment "If I were a woman, would I date me" is a very meaningful question. Would you want to date a woman who is all the things you describe yourself to be? Would you want to date a woman with so much self-loathing? A woman who doesn't trust or believe relationships are possible? There has to be some level of self love if you expect someone else to be able to love you. If not, it's a recipe for a toxic relationship. And this does not mean you have to be perfect. We all have parts o… | /r/ExRedPill | 22/09/21 04:48 PM |
| 2 | CMV: Women care about lifestyle over money/wealthOk Cupid has some filters and questions geared toward lifestyle. You can put in salary, answer lifestyle, philosophy and family questions. But its not as common an app anymore and I’ve heard it’s gone downhill since I was on it years ago. Now it’s up to a lot of first impressions and vibe while texting. There are also certain groups that have singles events that are geared toward getting like-minded people together. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/08/21 11:45 PM |

| 3 | Then what should men do to get dates?Bored of honesty and being yourself? You have to be interesting to someone in order for a relationship to develop. Do you think you’re boring? The women who crave drama will find or make it. Find someone who isn’t like that. | /r/ExRedPill | 15/08/21 02:48 AM |
| 5 | Then what should men do to get dates?It’s probably partially the type of women you’re pursuing or engaging with. Those tactics work on some because they target insecurities. They catch women who are afraid of rejection, of being alone, taught to play those games or have really low self esteem, etc. Playing hot and cold is just cruel because you’re also messing with their emotions. Even if a woman is pretty confident, enough mind games will cause damage. If you’re looking for a real equal partner, be yourself and be honest about you… | /r/ExRedPill | 15/08/21 12:46 AM |
| 1 | Then what should men do to get dates?I saw you mention TikTok women in a comment below. And was reading through comments saying you were interested in finding a lifelong partner. With both women and men on TikTok there’s a lot of flaunting and showing off, talking a “big game” and whatnot. That doesn’t cross over to real world relationships most of the time. Also Red pill tactics work on a subset of women because it plays on their insecurity. I saw you said that getting laid isn’t the problem, it’s that you are ready to find someth… | /r/ExRedPill | 15/08/21 12:23 AM |

| 2 | When you're dating/in a relationship with someone, do you start including them when you're haging out with your friends?Unless it's a specific girls night out, I have an open invitation for my bf because at this point pretty much all of my friends are paired up and bring their SOs as well. It's kind of an unspoken sentiment that an invite to one person includes their SO unless specified otherwise. But at this time most of them are married and I have been with my SO for 4 years. Never really bothered me unless it was supposed to be a girls night out. My SO has some social anxiety but the fact that he is willing to… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/08/21 04:42 PM |
| 7 | Boyfriend is funny about moneyThis is quite frustrating for me to read because it does not sound like he is taking your particular financial situation into account at all. I would hope that in situations like school or job loss, the partner making more would WANT to ease the stress of the other by partially compensating for a period of time. As a student, you're income is less than his and if he did not feel comfortable with a short term imbalance (I'm guessing your income would go up after graduation), he shouldn't have ent… | /r/RedPillWives | 07/08/21 04:09 PM |
| 1 | Are "sexual skills" really skills in the fullest sense?Yeah. That is definitely is a really important part of great sex. Truly caring what what the other person enjoys. It has to be mutual though. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/08/21 11:52 PM |
| 1 | Are "sexual skills" really skills in the fullest sense?Agree 100%. Those conversations are so important because sex is a significant part of a relationship (a lot of the time). Everyone has slightly different preferences, positions or angles they like and both people have to talk about their likes and dislikes to make it the best experience for both. Plus sometimes experimenting with new positions can lead to a new favorite! It comes down to having both people care about wanting their significant other to have a good experience. :) | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/08/21 10:28 PM |
| 14 | Your 30s are the most ideal time to get married.If you’re saying that about women, do you also think men in their 30’s have more “mental baggage” because they have also been in more LTRs and STRs? That they may also be entitled in what they think they “deserve” and lack empathy? I would agree with OP in that people are more set in their ways in their 30’s so it’s much easier to see how life would be long term. And while some may still want flings, just as many are finally able to settle down a little more. In the 20’s there’s a lot of growth … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/08/21 07:32 PM |

Some women are more old-school conservative and want the lifestyle a financially well-off conservative would provide and are willing to trade in the equality aspects for that.

I don’t think it’s emotional fulfillment that draws women to lower paying jobs.

Whether it was girls night out, or mixed couples night out, it was always a good time. We went to regular dance clubs, 90’s night, 80’s night, themed parties… but that was in the early 2010’s and I feel like clubbing was more of a thing then.

| 3 | Why Vet Men Based on Height?I know tall women who would say that’s incorrect. They run into guys who don’t want a woman taller or bigger than them because those guys thought it reduced their masculinity to be smaller than their partner. The guys ego couldn’t handle it. All the women I’m mentioning are 5’10” to 6’0” and are within normal BMI range. Personally I don’t know the feeling.

Please change my view.At 20, you can’t even go into bars yet. That will open up a whole other world for dating. Outside teen/young women are more likely to travel in multiples (harder to approach and more likely to be rejected if the girl is overly concerned with what her friends will think, etc). Online they may come across as more superficial because we all (men and women) are thinking more with our eyes/social expectations than our brains at that age. both genders are also figuring out how to engage with the oppos… | /r/ExRedPill | 21/07/21 12:38 AM |
| 2 | How can women get a man to commit to her?Yeah, most of that is pretty spot on. I would really emphasize knowing what you want (realistically) and what you bring to the table as well. If I’m confident and understand myself well first, it allows me to better identify compatible personalities and know what I can and cannot work through in relationships. Typically a well-rounded person often wants another well-rounded partner. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/07/21 03:34 AM |
| 2 | Instead of theorizing, what is something you genuinely don't understand about women?But your comment to me was originally asking how one single thing could destroy a relationship and how that was nonsensical. So those were some examples of singular events or realizations that could doom a relationship.

| – | Instead of theorizing, what is something you genuinely don't understand about women?Sooo. A guy with this mindset won’t respect or consider a girl who sleeps with them quickly relationship potential. But he also gets upset when she won’t sleep with him quickly. And also doesn’t respect a girl with multiple partners even though guys all work their hardest to get girls to sleep with them ASAP and often use manipulation tactics to get the sex. It’s a lose lose for the girl- damned if she does, dammed if she doesn’t. Sounds like a fun game to play. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/07/21 07:41 PM |
| – | Instead of theorizing, what is something you genuinely don't understand about women?You maybe can’t promise /guarantee physical safety, but you can provide a level of emotional security through actions and words. The hot girl comment was just an easy example to use because that’s a common argument on this sub. And should that scenario happen I wouldn’t be blaming the single person, I would be blaming the one in the relationship if something were to happen. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/07/21 05:48 PM |

I want to know that my bf is as committed to me as I am to him. That some hot girl isn’t going to lure him away. I hate emotional/psychological mind games. My bf and I are quite independent and strong people but are both very secure in our relationship. We don’t use feelings to manipulate each other.

He doesn’t sound like the type to have longer relationships or stay loyal during a relationship. But im also pretty sure he is also inflating that number to sound “more experienced”.

| 1 | Is it ever okay to tell a very unattractive man to focus on something else besides wanting to date? (Genuine)That makes sense. Once in the shuffle of middle class there is a different type of economic pursuit than pure survival. And once a certain level is reached it is accompanied by some level of entitlement. Competition in that environment can be harder. Kind of throw a wrench in some of the “biological” arguments once you step far enough in either direction. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/06/21 06:03 PM |

(Genuine)I see so many “odd”, “mismatched”, “looksmatched”, “power” and any other way you want to describe couples on a daily basis at work. For this discussion they range as low as 1 or 2 (if a scale must be used) to homeless or just making ends meet. And most of them have partners or spouses.

| 4 | Is it possible to discuss relationship problems to get an alternative to TRP-rules?I think advice will depend on what the problems are. Sexual attraction issues can stem from a huge range of issues. Reasons range from childhood trauma, physical changes causing insecurity, concern about a partners perception of their body, external stressors, easily adjusted physical things like amount of hair and everything in between. I think we will need a little more information before non-TRP advice could be provided. | /r/ExRedPill | 10/06/21 05:29 PM |
| 1 | How redpill videos made me feel insecure as a womanWhile I can’t shed much light on a transition out of the RP mindset, do you have friends, family, mentors or other adults that you grew up around who demonstrate healthy and respectful relationships? For myself, I grew up seeing many relationships where both husbands and wives respected each other and valued equality, intelligence and strength more than traditional “feminine” qualities. I definitely enjoy being “feminine” at times but I also wore T-shirt, jeans and sneakers to most frat parties … | /r/ExRedPill | 09/06/21 11:55 PM |
| 2 | I paid for sex again, and it's making things worseExperience isn’t always just a multiple partners type of numbers game. It is quality practice. When you meet girls and they are asking you what you’re looking for, why not be open to a relationship? It’s extremely rare to marry your first girlfriend/boyfriend. If you find someone you vibe with and have fun hanging out with, why not enjoy that time together and get experience that matters? New relationships are exciting and fun.

| 1 | Can't be it allIt’s interesting. I feel like women are stuck between a rock and a hard place often. With all of the contradictory societal pressures stated throughout the post and comments (which I agree with), the necessity of certain things in today’s society affect our choices. Sure, being able to rely on a high paying husband sounds nice but I can’t guarantee that 1) I find a compatible partner that also makes the equivalent of a dual income household and 2) that the relationship lasts.

They have standards which actually rewards pushy guys and pushes away respectful ones.I see what you mean now about somewhat innocent. Seems like I keep seeing the same arguments being made over and over with attempts from women to refute them and it does nothing to change most minds. It gets a little tiring so I may have rolled with just a piece of their comment. Yeah, I’ve definitely played the “friend” to strangers out dancing.

They have standards which actually rewards pushy guys and pushes away respectful ones.I don’t think OP talks to many women about their experiences (or talks to them willing to accept their experiences as valid). Almost every woman I know (who has actively dated in their life) has faced an uncomfortable, pushy, slightly scary 180 from a guy who was “nice” or even “a friend”. Vetting someone is so vague. Meeting a person in real life is the only real form of vetting (besides blocking the real creeps online) and you can’t have someone “safe” third party person walk you to your car e… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/05/21 02:52 AM |

We’ve been friends for probably 15 years now and still catch up on the phone a number of times a year. I’ve lost touch with a lot of my other college guy friends due to distance and time but he and I have always kept up to date with each other’s lives. He is happily married with a 2nd kid on the way.

You mention in another comment about she likes to think of herself as a rational person. I wonder if you could play out a scenario on paper with her that would help quantify her contribution to the household.

I had more single girlfriends in my 20’s and when my friend group merged with my ex’s group of single guy friends. 2 ended up married lol.

Those are not the views of most men and especially not the views of anyone I know in healthy/happy LTRs. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/12/20 01:29 AM |
| 8 | Hey guys share your thoughts about this perspective - Do you consider sex as merely a form of action or is it more than that? Can it be equated to activities like Dancing or Singing?Somehow I think the same people that most judge women in this way could find a way to whine about legitimate “dancing”. “I feel inferior because she may have had a better tango partner in the past. What if she compares me to her last dance partner? I don’t think it’s right to dance with too many people. If you do dance with multiple people, I don’t want you anymore. What if she leaves for a better dance partner? I’m just not going to dance because women only want good dancers and they dance with… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/12/20 09:20 AM |
| 2 | If women find less men attractive than men find women attractive, shouldn't women make the first move?100% yes to all of this. It’s exactly what both my response would be and what my experiences have been. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/12/20 08:26 AM |
| 2 | Many men here overestimate the importance of attractiveness over personality because they are undersocializedHaha, yeah, that cheeky, humorous show of jealousy can be fun. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/12/20 04:41 PM |
| 2 | Many men here overestimate the importance of attractiveness over personality because they are undersocializedAll of that is one toxic view of women and far too much emphasis on sex. Foundation to engaging in meaningful relationships includes a basic respect for the opposite gender. So even wanting a girl who hasn't had casual sex is not an acceptable/reasonable preference? No. Because your definition of casual sex is not someone who is looking just for one night stands. you lump all relationships into that group as well. So the only women who meet your criteria are either extremely young (and haven't h… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/12/20 04:39 PM |
| 2 | Many men here overestimate the importance of attractiveness over personality because they are undersocializedThat would definitely make me consider ending a relationship too. I don’t do jealousy. As long as a bf doesn’t give me reason to be jealous, I take women hitting on them sometimes as a compliment lol. They are ultimately coming home with me because they are committed to me and that’s what matters. :) Plus, talking to the opposite gender isn’t always to flirt/hit on them. It’s just communication with another individual. So jealousy over SOs that end up engaging in normal friendly conversations is… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/12/20 03:40 PM |
| 3 | Many men here overestimate the importance of attractiveness over personality because they are undersocializedThere’s all sorts of ways to be the victim of an unjust system. I can just as easily flip it to say that all guys want is a hole to put it in and use us and dump us (no matter how serious a woman may want the relationship to be). Is this fair then to be judged later for having experience when it was the guys who left? I could complain that guys don’t get stigmatization from having multiple partners as much as women. That guys are the ones always looking for the next hottest younger thing because… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/12/20 07:06 AM |
| 2 | Many men here overestimate the importance of attractiveness over personality because they are undersocializedOk so you don’t want a girl who wants to date to try and find compatibility with another person but you do want an inexperienced virgin who has no experience with relationships at all so you don’t feel inferior to anyone. That’s such an unhealthy mindset. Relationships help people learn about themselves too. They are how a person learns what they do/don’t like, what they do/don’t need and what they will/won’t tolerate. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/12/20 06:06 AM |
| 3 | Many men here overestimate the importance of attractiveness over personality because they are undersocializedI understand what you mean. However, entering a relationship with that level of distrust and insecurity is toxic to developing anything long lasting. So those beliefs lead to a self fulfilling prophecy of failed relationships. And then people complain and turn that from a consequence of their insecurity to blaming their partner for “upgrading”. Of course a girl will want to leave if her partner is always jealous of a non-existent/past person. There are good reasons people move on to other relati… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/12/20 05:19 AM |
| 3 | Many men here overestimate the importance of attractiveness over personality because they are undersocializedYes, I think women can be more selective for appearance when it comes to casual sex and dating apps because young guy are often just looking for sex, period. Attractiveness isn’t the highest thing on their list, it’s getting laid. So that inherently makes it easier for women to be more selective (whether they select based on looks or other attributes). Dating apps are designed to be superficial so if someone is looking for a hookup, they will likely go for the hottest on the site. However, if so… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/12/20 03:47 AM |
| 4 | Many men here overestimate the importance of attractiveness over personality because they are undersocializedSo are you saying that you are one who always thinks their partner will be looking to “upgrade” even though they are with you? Even though they are spending time, energy, love etc on/with you? And subsequently if that is what you think women do, would you be the first to bounce if someone you thought was “better” came along? Those feelings mean the relationship is doomed from the start. The woman shouldn’t be blamed for a bad relationship when it’s a guy’s insecurities that contribute to a found… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/12/20 01:39 AM |
| 4 | Many men here overestimate the importance of attractiveness over personality because they are undersocializedYeah. It’s interesting because they are thinking exactly what they are afraid their partner is thinking. No relationship stands a chance with that mindset. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/12/20 12:57 AM |
| 17 | Many men here overestimate the importance of attractiveness over personality because they are undersocialized100% Agee with this. These people are putting a lot of assumptions into their relationships about their partner that is all based around their own insecurities. “My partner will always be comparing me to their exes”, “my partner will always want to upgrade”, “my partner is settling for me”. That will inherently lead to trust issues which hinder healthy communication and healthy relationship building. And it also inversely reflects their views of relationships and the likelihood that THEY would b… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/12/20 11:32 PM |
| 4 | When all of your opinions about the opposite sex and dating comes from a sample size full of only teens and young adults in their 20s, you’re ALWAYS going to be disappointed, disgusted and angry. But isn’t that obvious?Omg. I love this post. What people look for in a significant other and what they can bring to the table themselves changes/matures so much over the years. What my guy and girl friends experienced in the teens was vastly different than their 20’s (early, late) and now 30’s. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/09/20 02:14 AM |
