| 1 | Women dont want less sex than men. They want less sex with YOUIt’s still possible to have sex with 50+ men and barely ever initiate compared to men if you have sex every time you initiate, where men have a hit rate of more like 1 in 100 at best source: my ex | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/09/20 08:02 PM |

| 1 | Women dont want less sex than men. They want less sex with YOUA general statement is an absolute statement that may have specific, predictable exceptions. It’s still a statement that requires a higher standard of proof. You don’t need to have met every woman, but you need to have unbiased data on a large and diverse enough sample of women that you can reasonably generalize to the entire population and control for confounding variables. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/09/20 07:53 PM |
| 1 | Women dont want less sex than men. They want less sex with YOUno it’s not. You made a sweeping claim. If you were just saying “you haven’t proved that’s always true” the burden of proof would be on the original claim. You said “You haven’t proved that that’s always true, instead, this is a general truth based on my sample size of one” | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/09/20 07:51 PM |

| 4 | Women dont want less sex than men. They want less sex with YOUA lot of them come from TRP, so the answer is yes to both. But the air quotes around “men” is unnecessary. Plenty of men are virgins, bad at sex, stupid, inconsiderate, or otherwise just not worth engaging with for any reason. They’re still men. Being a man isn’t anything but being an adult human who lives as a man. It’s nothing to be especially proud of. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/09/20 07:47 PM |

They want less sex with YOUThat’s not initiating (at least not generally speaking; if you and your partner KNOW what a signal means maybe it could be) If it’s not something that makes it unambiguously clear that he has the option for sex if he wants it, it’s not initiating. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/09/20 07:44 PM |
| 2 | CMV: Referring to human beings as "high value" and "low value" is low value behaviorOh, I think I get you. I generally try to take a systems theory approach to life informed by the C-theories (chaos, complexity, coherence) so things like strange attractors, feedback loops, etc are things I try to see at the macro scale. It would definitely be interesting to try to apply them more precisely | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/09/20 01:03 AM |
| 1 | CMV: Referring to human beings as "high value" and "low value" is low value behaviorThank you! I know Mach’s principle says something about what it means for an element to be rotating relative to a global frame of reference, so there may be some conclusions to draw there, but I hadn’t really thought about what the elaborated implications in real life might be | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/09/20 12:41 AM |

| 1 | CMV: Referring to human beings as "high value" and "low value" is low value behaviorWell, assuming the other person is real, there’s their perception of your value, which is subjective, and your perception of their perception of your value, which is subjective, plus just the way you treat each other which has to be interpreted subjectively but it probably within your culture would be interpreted by the average person in basically the same way. Human interactions are fairly universal in emotional content. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/20 11:30 PM |
| 1 | CMV: Referring to human beings as "high value" and "low value" is low value behaviorI think conceptually, it’s useful to think about there being at least two subjective components and one objective component | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/20 11:20 PM |
| 1 | CMV: Referring to human beings as "high value" and "low value" is low value behaviorNo, Jesus Christ. I hope nobody else thinks I’m saying that. People should be referred to as people. Barring that, men, women, whatever they want to be called, or their name will do just fine. My general philosophy is that traumatizing people is bad because it’s dangerous, so don’t do it unless you have a plan to make things right again for them somehow. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/20 09:26 PM |
| 1 | CMV: Referring to human beings as "high value" and "low value" is low value behaviorI think you’re right. The responses were really interesting; there was a lot of agreement and disagreement from both TRP and FDS people. It’s also really interesting to see how many people claim with absolute conviction that their beliefs are based on “reality”. I love it. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/20 09:20 PM |
| 2 | CMV: Referring to human beings as "high value" and "low value" is low value behaviorYou are right on the mark. My point here was to explain how a certain action which benefits the individual also benefits the collective, which should hopefully mean there’s no good reason not to do it except not thinking about it. There’s a very long comment thread here where I try to explain why this is probably true. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/20 09:06 PM |
| 0 | CMV: Referring to human beings as "high value" and "low value" is low value behaviorYes, I think it promotes growth mindsets. If a serial killer or a genocidaire can reform into a philanthropist, I think we should be facilitating that transformation wherever possible. Since we have more than enough serial killers and arguably not enough actual philanthropists (not just people who do it for tax breaks) | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/20 08:28 PM |
| 2 | CMV: Referring to human beings as "high value" and "low value" is low value behaviorI appreciate the conversation, it was interesting and I'm grateful for your time. Just one last explanation of why you're wrong: no human knows the thoughts of every other person. Doesn't preclude the concept of a supersystem, matrix, independent observer etc. that can observe those things. Any human only sees one projection of this set. So saying you can talk about true value by knowing subjective value is like saying you can know the area of a triangle by only seeing one leg. In a lot of cases… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/20 07:26 PM |
| 2 | CMV: Referring to human beings as "high value" and "low value" is low value behaviorI'm not really arguing for or against much of anything other than trying not to piss people off. I linked to Wittgenstein because of his good foundation demonstrating that logical philosophical arguments generally can be reduced to semantics. So calling something "semantics" doesn't minimize it the way it seems like you think it does. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/20 07:21 PM |

| 2 | CMV: Referring to human beings as "high value" and "low value" is low value behaviorOkay, we're getting closer. So the experience of the sociopath is the only experience that matters, but it isn't exclusive with the idea of an objective reality, or other conscious beings. We will talk about an entity E. Take the set Vt as E's "true value". It will be the bijective set of the subjective valuations of every conscious being of entity E. These valuations occur from -infinity to infinity or -FS to FS, however you want to think about it (I use full scale because dB is good for measur… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/20 06:59 PM |
| 1 | CMV: Referring to human beings as "high value" and "low value" is low value behaviorI wasn't referring to SMV, just to the phenomenon I see where people are advocating general violence or other kinds of antisocial behavior towards men referred to as "low value", which doesn't have a qualifier on it. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/20 06:45 PM |
| 1 | CMV: Referring to human beings as "high value" and "low value" is low value behaviorIt changes it to make that particular association automatic, so if your mind has catalogued other traits along with the phrase HVM, you will think of them even if there's no "logical connection". It can be as benign as thinking of America when you hear "car" versus Britain when you hear "automobile". But that's unlikely to be a negative. Another comparison might be thinking about what happens to your brain if you were to refer to all Black people using the N-word, even if only in your mind. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/20 06:44 PM |
| 1 | CMV: Referring to human beings as "high value" and "low value" is low value behaviorI think I missed a section when I was typing up my response earlier; I should have explained the connection to sociopathy. If you really want the logical framework I can do it. I'm not going to put it in symbolic logic unless you absolutely insist because it's harder to type and I don't want to use LaTeX right now.

If you don't understand how I'm using I'm more than willing to explain, but if you're saying it "means nothing" you're not understanding me. I'm literally describing a geometrical abstraction. There is no reason that HVM is worse than saying 'a male that is considered a high value potential mate' (implying attractive, successful, mentally stable, etc...) except that it is more terse. That doesn't make it worse at all. Words that are short and simple … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/20 06:04 PM |
| 2 | CMV: Referring to human beings as "high value" and "low value" is low value behaviorIt implies they can exist, but I think it provides a good argument that no living person would be able to meaningfully assess it. Every time I see this value modality of judgment pop up someone always takes it to genocide. If a person can have a zero or negative value and you're evaluating people, rather than behavior, genocide just makes good sense. But if you take a behavior evaluation framework it's extremely obvious why genocide is a low value strategy and an idiotic response to anything. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/20 05:59 PM |

| 2 | CMV: Referring to human beings as "high value" and "low value" is low value behaviorThey also get confused about how to extend their logical systems to better reflect reality, which is one of the most frustrating things.

| 3 | CMV: Referring to human beings as "high value" and "low value" is low value behaviorI'm a biomedical engineering student who mostly has a focus on neuroscience and the relationship of cognitive psychology to linguistics.

| 1 | CMV: Referring to human beings as "high value" and "low value" is low value behaviorMaybe some of us don't strict definitions. I do. The key word in that phrase is "objective" not "context". My goal was to provide a logical framework that would contextualize a more pro-social behavior as being individually rewarding, even to a sociopath. We live in an individualistic culture and hoping that people do the right thing is clearly not enough to make it happen.

I also looked at your most recent post and I really want to disagree with you just for that, but based on this comment, I really can’t. The implication of this concept, then, is that low or high value itself is a much less interesting number than the derivative or instantaneous rate of change of the value.

| 1 | CMV: Referring to human beings as "high value" and "low value" is low value behaviorPoints I agree with: thinking about life in terms of fairness and deserving things is bad. It’s really bad for the individual person, but also therefore bad for society. For the sake of context, evidence suggests I am a high-functioning sociopath.

| 1 | CMV: Referring to human beings as "high value" and "low value" is low value behaviorI’m trying to make this something that can be interpreted and parsed even by sociopaths. So arguments that rely on the concept of objective morality aren’t going to cut it. For a clear example, imagine if the very first human mating interaction was a rape. Does that make the man low value? Hard to say, since literally the entirety of human existence after that was dependent on him being who he was. But we can still say that rape is a low value behavior because if normalized (or more normalized),… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/20 03:14 PM |
| 3 | CMV: Referring to human beings as "high value" and "low value" is low value behaviorA number of responses on this thread have pushed me to at least slightly adjust my view, but honestly I’m not sure you read very closely because there’s no emotional content. Completely negating my view could be done the following ways: Prove (or persuade convincingly) that HVM/LVM terminology is pro social, rather than antisocial. This can also be done by proving that it’s good for the person being evaluated somehow. Prove that the terminology can be defined in a non-subjective way. Prove the p… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/20 03:10 PM |

| 3 | CMV: Referring to human beings as "high value" and "low value" is low value behaviorOkay, point. There is a biological reality to be interpreted that can’t be denied or suppressed. I would argue though, that nothing about the internal social status evaluation prohibits a different cognitive interpretation. Like it’s not that many extra steps to say “this person has no value in my life” versus “this person has no value whatsoever.” Because, to get all clinical and weird about it, all mass and energy has value. All humans also therefore have some minimum level of value, even if i… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/20 03:03 PM |
| 3 | CMV: Referring to human beings as "high value" and "low value" is low value behaviorI don’t refer to people as “lowlives” for exactly this reason. Social, economic, and political institutions almost all perpetuate the active corruption of meritocracy. The US government has made billions off of the backs of criminalized people of color, many of whom were innocent of the crime they were accused of.

Like, 20th century American patriarchy was based on a generalization that women were weaker and better suited to the home, and men were stronger and better suited to providing. And eventually enough of both got fed up with those assumptions that they started tearing the system down come hell or high water.

| 1 | CMV: Referring to human beings as "high value" and "low value" is low value behaviorWell, okay. Yes. Everyone uses heuristic judgments; it’s not practical to try to actually assess everything super rigorously. But do you agree that the same heuristic judgments could be as useful, if not more so, and possibly more pro social if we directed them towards ideas and actions rather than people? You can still use it to make decisions about people, after all. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/20 02:50 PM |
| 3 | CMV: Referring to human beings as "high value" and "low value" is low value behaviorIt sort of sounds like you agree with me, but don’t think a different term should be used? I’m curious as to why, if that’s the case. Your comment also makes me think of HVM and LVM as measures of how much the person values themselves, which is thought-provoking and might be a useful way to use it. But also, it would make people saying stuff like “all LVM should just go die forever alone” like, completely morally abhorrent. It would mean LVMs are people we should be directing our deepest and war… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/20 02:48 PM |

I think that’s probably got more merit to it so I’ll address it under that assumption. A high value attorney (I’ve never heard anyone use this phrase but I will imagine) would be being judged by their value as an attorney. That is to say, the scope of the valuation is limited to their relationship to the legal system.

The usage of “value”, outside the context of any particular market in which a valuation metric can be precisely defined, implies an abstracted and holistic kind of value.

They don’t assume men who have high sexual attractiveness are “high value”; generally, the way they use HVM and LVM refer to that person’s value in their life but a lot of the more toxic ones use it as some kind of objective rating system | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/20 01:54 PM |

I don’t want to “constantly” do anything related specifically to women; that’s why I’m a bachelor.

| 6 | Why should women even bother to enter monogamous relationships with the average man anymore?I mean there’s more than one way to skin a cat. I think marriage and monogamy is good for this, but not that it’s the only way to do it. There are very few things that are exclusive to a monogamous relationship. One of the few I can think of really depends on context and where you live. Marriage comes with status and the aura of adulthood and maturity in many cultures, especially religious ones. Eschewing it might mean giving up that status symbol, but how much that matters is up to you. Really … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/09/20 04:10 AM |

I think the easy trap to fall into here is to say everyone who wasn’t already doing this was a bad person and didn’t understand consent. It’s going to be messy and take time to figure out, and not everyone will catch up.

It’s not because they don’t want it as much. I also think it’s because the skill level of men tends to be lower.

| 5 | LMR: Men are not entitled to sex and women are not entitled to affectionDepending on how you do it, this tactic can look either like respecting consent and taking things slow so that you’re allowing the person space to make decisions and proving that you are trustworthy, or it can look like typical cult indoctrination tactics of operant conditioning aimed at getting the person used to saying yes to you.

| 1 | Is Gen-Z's dating and sex problem actually just caused by them not having many friends or much of a social life?I’m sure they didn’t think they cared about it, and if you asked them if they did they might actually be offended. They probably did think of it as “social”. But it’s way easier to be social when your friends don’t have to pick you up and drive you across town for everything, when you can afford clothes that fit and a decent haircut, having a cell phone and internet access, etc. Notably, I was significantly more popular when I moved 45 minutes away to an area that was much less affluent. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/08/20 02:44 AM |

He can be extremely busy and maybe each time at work there was a horrible accident that was very stressful and distracted him each time. The fact that the mistake happens twice, even given that there were extenuating circumstances, can be taken in some context to mean that he didn’t care enough to force himself to remember. Intentions are one important part of how to tell if someone is a “good” person. But im… | /r/seduction | 08/08/20 11:01 PM |
| 7 | I am physically at the best I’ve ever been but still have sub par results with womenInner game development always starts with life goals and creed IMO. It’s far less important to think about what kind of life you want to lead than what kind of man you want to be, if that makes sense. Because the thing is, you are going to make mistakes. You are going to be wrong and miss things and, occasionally, hurt people, even if you don’t mean to. But starting with a creed lets you determine, to some extent, what kind of mistakes you want to make. It’s far less important that you avoid bei… | /r/seduction | 08/08/20 09:08 PM |
| 7 | Promiscuity and pair bondingOxytocin and neuroreceptors in general do not work like this. Damage to the neuroreceptor doesn’t occur from overuse because they’re on-off. They can either have a neurotransmitter on them or not. They can be damaged if somehow the wrong neurotransmitter is jammed into them the wrong way, such as with overuse of certain amphetamines, but an oxytocin receptor is not going to be damaged by receiving oxytocin under normal circumstances. Orgasm is a neurological event. The maximum amplitude, and the… | /r/ExRedPill | 08/08/20 01:27 PM |

I would offer this revision to your #1: People like to get what they want. One of those things is usually a sensation of power and control over things in their life. But different people want different amounts of this. And, personally, if a super rich hot woman showed up tomorrow that checked all my boxes and offered to give me everything I wanted, and somehow I had metaphysical proof I could believe her, I woul… | /r/seduction | 08/08/20 12:24 PM |
| 8 | #Shut Up About "Male Privilege"The word “privilege” is probably too binary for the concepts people are trying to explain with it at this point. It seems more like it just means a qualitatively unique asset, but one that also prevents you from having other experiences which is an opportunity cost and a disprivilege in itself. | /r/MensRights | 08/08/20 02:06 AM |

Kept up the guard, (mostly) kept his balance, didn’t do anything that would make him look like a monster on camera. He definitely has around 50 pounds on her minimum, and more of a man’s body is typically lean body mass. There’s a reason boxing weight classes are 7 pound increments. If you hit somebody square and you have significantly more mass than they do, you can kill them. It makes situations like this much more squirrelly.

This is one reason why 1) You're given a wrong number by them and 2) Ignored over text on the follow up from a receptive Cold Approach.At first I downvoted this like everyone else, but I do think it merits a proper response. White knighting is not the opposite of seduction. It’s misdirected seductive intent concealed as actual empathy. Caring about somebody else experiencing violence isn’t white knighting by default. That’s not to say it can’t be that ever, which would be horrendous, because you should care about violence regardless of whether or not it gets you laid. But I don’t think that’s what’s happening here. | /r/seduction | 07/08/20 01:09 PM |

He’s saying it’s not a binary on-off decision, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a critical component of mental health. Jt absolutely is. Saying it’s a “part of mental health” != calling it a disorder.

Focusing on shallow aspects of appearance too long will be a waste of your time and also won't really work. I feel like when I was where you are I started focusing more on making myself attractive on paper, and also drilling down goals. One of the things that is attractive that is a lot harder to quantify is purpose. It's clear when all you want is to talk to women, find som… | /r/ExRedPill | 07/08/20 04:52 AM |

We have to convince people, and that means responding not to the most extreme versions of feminism or the most abhorrent examples of dehumanization we see from people who call themselves feminists, but to the most coherent version that is both most aligned with our own values and also the most logically sound. We have to understand their arguments so well that we can argue them as well as they can. I am a feminist as well as a men’s rights activist and a lot of other … | /r/MensRights | 07/08/20 01:47 AM |

I think our society is already too unstable not to have some kind of drastic equilibrium-restoring transformation though. | /r/MensRights | 07/08/20 01:34 AM |

That doesn’t make what you did wrong it just gives off a certain impression. I would just give her space and kinda wait to let her make up her own mind.

And that would apply at any age if a supervisory relationship was involved (don’t date your boss).

| 2 | Half of Generation Z men ‘think feminism has gone too far’I think you hit the nail on the head. We are all monsters. But men are allowed more leeway to identify with the monster, and I think for that reason it’s easier for us to acknowledge things about our psyche like impulses towards violence, depersonalization of other humans and aggressive or promiscuous sexual impulses. For women, social and emotional control and status is more decoupled from the physical power they can exert from their own bodies, and is a lot more image-based (my assessment anyw… | /r/MensRights | 06/08/20 08:46 AM |

My ex started dating me when I was homeless, up to the point of helping me pay for an apartment until I got a raise and I was able to pay for it myself. I think we both thought it would be okay because she was the woman and I was the man, and so that way the power dynamics would sort of balance out. It really didn’t.

If she has very high self worth, she might put up with it but women by now are aware of what negging is and they see it as a pretty depraved tool and compensation for deficiencies. Women who have average self esteem may or may not react with a sense of humor, but if she seems to not be bothered at all my guess would be she has zero commitment to the relationship.
