| 9 | Age Gap Relationships are Parasitic for Both PartiesI'm not sure why people are so bothered about what other people do. If everyone involved is a consenting adult then it's none of my business, and I can't really see why anyone else would care. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/08/23 12:23 PM |
| 2 | Women are most valued for their beauty. What do you think men are most valued for?Fair comment. Equally, I wouldn't say Magnus is exactly God's gift to women. He's a decent looking guy, but he becomes far more interesting as world chess champion than as a plumber. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/07/23 03:09 PM |
| 8 | Women are most valued for their beauty. What do you think men are most valued for?Men at the apex of any field are valued, whether it's wealth, attractiveness, proficiency in a particular skill, etc. Some average chess player, most women will completely ignore. If you're the world champion, you get to hang out with Liv Tyler. And it's not just the opportunities that this status affords you; if you watch the video you can see that she's genuinely interested. Would she be interested if it was two good standard club players playing, or even two strong titled players? Doubtful. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/07/23 04:02 PM |

Reddit wants to charge 3rd party apps like $20k a month. It's effectively a ban on third-party apps because all of the biggest ones have said that they can't afford the fees that Reddit are proposing. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/06/23 07:10 PM |
| 6 | Chat GPT - Is there such a thing as a "right" or "wrong" sexual strategy? Discussion ThreadIt is important to do this. Conversely, it is also important to do the opposite. You might want to take this into consideration. But then the completely opposing view also has merit. In conclusion, here is a non-committal statement that is ultimately meaningless. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/04/23 07:45 PM |
| 3 | It is commonly stated in the ‘manosphere’ that men’s SMV peaks later in life. PPD men over 30, have you actually found your overall value to increase as you’ve gotten older?For the OP: what I would encourage you to do is simply be positive. There is no doubt that my dating prospects improved as I got older, but I do think attitude is critically important. If I date someone now, I think: "she would be lucky to have me". If she's not interested then I genuinely don't care, and certainly don't take it personally. It seems that we are all encouraged nowadays to say that we have this condition or that condition; I would lean away from that and lean into your qualities. … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/04/23 07:40 AM |
| 4 | It is disturbing how many young beautiful women are working minimum wage jobsIf you want to make money in any of the ways suggested (leaving aside any ethical or other objections that you might have), you need to be at the top. People focus on success of the top 1%, and assume that anyone similar can be in the top 1%. The reality is that it's not easy to be part of that group in any field. Anything worth doing or worth having involves a lot of competition, and it's not easy to stand out from the crowd. Being attractive is a good card to have in your hand, but it doesn't … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/12/22 03:46 PM |

| 15 | Women often complain about lack of male friendships and getting "fuckzoned". But the truth is, women generally just aren't as good of friends as men.Women might be better at emotional comfort, but even then I usually prefer to vent about my problems to a male friend because men are more solution-oriented. This is a strange thing to say, as almost unequivocally men prefer talking to women about their problems, precisely because they don't feel comfortable talking to their male friends, as they're so unreceptive. I would like to think that's evolving steadily with the younger generation, but certainly it was almost universally true when I was … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/11/22 08:03 PM |

| 1 | When it is said that women want less sex than men, what exactly does it mean?Sexual desire is typically higher in men than in women, with testosterone (T) thought to account for this difference as well as within-sex variation in desire in both women and men. Do men really have stronger sex drives than women? Well, yes, they do. Study after study illustrates that men's sex drives are not only stronger than women's, but much more straightforward. It’s a fact, Men have a higher sex drive than women. Are all relationships doomed ? It might seem like a cliché, but the reality… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/10/22 12:20 PM |

| 1 | Daily Community Chat MegathreadI was willing to make the sacrifice of being a father-like figure to her older children because of her calibre. She was everything that I wanted. However, I don't want kids of my own, and I don't want a 1 year-old running around at my age. She couldn't understand this, and felt that I would want a child at some point in the relationship, even though I tried to explain to her that I know myself, and I definitely do not and would not want children. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/09/22 09:40 PM |

I was willing to make the sacrifice of having her children in my life, even though I don't believe this is ideal. But she essentially said that if she was in love, and if she could have more kids, she would probably want to have another child, and I couldn't agree to this. It's not even definite that she could have more kids, but what bothered me was that she couldn'… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/09/22 06:56 PM |

She is also very intelligent. As it happens, she was really into me. She thought I was really handsome, and she fancied me even before we met. She said the nicest things to me that you can imagine. I have never been treated with such respect and admiration. To be honest, she would have married me.

You have to be actively seeking, all the time, in as many avenues as possible. Don't be clingy, needy or insecure. This immediately kills any attraction; Have stuff going on in your life.

If you smother them then that's inappropriate. However, I cuddle my dog all the time, and when she sits next to me if I don't put my arm around her then she puts her nose under my arm and moves it so that I can hug her as we sit together. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/09/22 11:15 PM |

| 2 | Dating and the Marketisation of EverythingIt’s not stated in the clip, but the general idea is that men are suffering compared to other men. But my point is simply that this won't change regardless of what men do. All that will change is the identity of the men that suffer. The OKCupid study shows that women interested in dating eventually message the men whom are in their league. I wasn't specifically referring to that study, I don't think you need to refer to that study as its data and conclusions could be repeated in a myriad of othe… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/09/22 11:40 PM |
| 1 | Dating and the Marketisation of EverythingI didn't say they don't want relationships. What I meant is that they don't want men generally as much as men want women. All available evidence points to this conclusion. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/09/22 11:35 PM |
| 1 | Dating and the Marketisation of EverythingI agree with what you're saying completely. Thankfully, I have found a way to compete, but I know how hard it was for me, and I think people like the guy in the video (who apparently does something related to marketing - you couldn't make this up!) completely fail to grasp the reality that there are no simple solutions to this problem. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/09/22 11:34 PM |
| 1 | Dating and the Marketisation of EverythingI completely agree with this. The point that the guy in the video misses is that (a) you can do all of this, but you're not guaranteed an improved outcome, (b) if everyone does this, the situation will be the same, because it doesn't change the power imbalance. All that happens is that different men will become the shunned proportion. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/09/22 11:32 PM |

| 1 | Daily Community Chat MegathreadI just watched lesbian porn. There is this one actress in particular who has done hundreds and hundreds of movies with women, and you can tell very clearly that they're enjoying it and not faking it by how wet they are.

| 1 | Daily Community Chat MegathreadIt is very hard for me to understand, believe me I've tried to understand this, why men cannot understand that if a woman is with you she wants to be with you, and she's not bothered about other guys. I've never personally found pleasuring a woman or making her orgasm to be that hard either, so I'm nonplussed as to why this causes so many problems.

Also, you claim that prior promiscuity causes divorce.

But if you're chatting to someone on WhatsApp, as I have been, it's all positive, it's all going well, they're favourable towards you, then they ghost you at the last minute, what else can you do?

At one time, it might have made practical sense. Today, there is such a huge amount of effort involved in dating as a man, and you have to tolerate so much flaking (if you can even get someone to talk to you in the first place), that it's hard to imagine that many men have 'power' in dating in any respect whatsoever.

| 4 | The #1 reason women are so selective and flake so easily is because they simply aren’t as interested in men or dating as the reverse which inflates their options and in turn their egos, not because of the “danger” of dating as a woman or risk of getting pregnant.If you're a woman, of course you've flaked at the last minute because you changed your mind. I already know this! All I was saying in my post is that women are flaky, they will give the indication, over a significant period of time that they like you, quite explicitly, and then bail at the last minute. Not only have you confirmed this, but you've even done it yourself! So why you're attempting to disagree with me isn't entirely clear. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/07/22 10:02 PM |

I didn't say that it was a negative trait; that would be a value judgement. I'm saying that being impulsive, by definition, is not rational. The examples you are giving involve rationalisation, and end in a bold decision. That is different from being impulsive. An impulsive bet would simply be one that was made without thought. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/07/22 10:00 PM |

Women are flaky. Any man who has ever tried to date women, particularly in the modern context, can confirm this.

| 17 | What's your "I'm such a catch, but nobody wants me" grievance? Can you elaborate on that and point out what you think you deserve?There is no such thing as deserving anything, but I think a lot of it really comes from the reality that women are flaky and unpredictable, and many of them ultimately aren't that bothered about men. And even when they are bothered, they're not as bothered as we are about women, even if they think they are.

But, equally, I don't have any inclination to feel great about my body. I'm not sure what the purpose of body positivity would be for me, what I would be positive about, or why I should need to celebrate myself in the first place, as I'm 6' tall, slim, okay looking, white, heterosexual and not part of any disadvantaged or shunned group… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/02/22 10:38 PM |
| 2 | Daily Community Chat MegathreadWomen experience internal processes and changes to their bodies that are profound to them, most notably child birth. Whereas the only changes we experience are, firstly, puberty, which tends to make you look like shit and sometimes screws your voice up completely. And when you get an erection, which is pretty much this unending itch that you can never satisfactorily scratch. There is nothing magical or life affirming about having a male body, and then you spend most of your time getting rejected… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/02/22 06:15 PM |
| 2 | Daily Community Chat MegathreadI went on a date with a woman a few years ago, and I swear to you she looked like a different ethnicity in her pictures. Because they were filtered from Instagram. She looked mixed race in her pictures, but in real life she looked black.

| 1 | Daily Community Chat MegathreadI'm not angst-ridden or furious, I'm just not getting into another stupid discussion, after many years of being on here and witnessing many of these, in which someone claims that women are more dangerous than men.

I can't imagine how anyone could possibly believe this. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/01/22 09:34 PM |
| 1 | Daily Community Chat MegathreadI'm not getting into another one of these stupid discussions. But look up every serial killer ever, note how many were male, and how many of their victims were female, for example. Also, your chances of being raped by a man as a woman than vice-versa is way, way higher. Look up stalkers. There are examples of women stalking men, but overwhelmingly it is men who stalk women.

But I have felt for many years that in all relationships, not with women specifically, but all people, regardless of whether they are friendships, family or romantic, that I'm the one who has to make all of the running, be the mature person, make things happen, etc, and while people always say nice things about me and claim that they value me, their actions never match their rhetoric.

But unless you're neutered, or have some deep religious conviction or something similar, you still go on having the same desires. It's very difficult to completely walk away.

He is not going to be black, but, regardless, he wasn't black in the novels. And, as he's called James Bond, he's not going to be a woman.

If there isn't usable physical or forensic evidence then two facts remain: (i) This doesn't mean that a rape didn't take place. (ii) It doesn't mean that the accusation is false.

| 5 | Daily Community Chat MegathreadYou can't on the one hand assert that statistics on non-convicted rapists are unfounded, but then also assume that 30% of rape allegations are false. The fact is that we just don't know one way or another, as it's very difficult to prove. That's why there are so few convictions because there is usually some doubt. I'm sure that there are false allegations made, but there is no way to know how many. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/09/21 04:45 PM |

It certainly wasn't a majority, but it wasn't a "super small minority" either.

(the book)?There is no doubt that you can act more dominant and be more demanding and get absolutely nowhere, because an external party always has to endorse you. And you have no real control over this. My experience with women is that they are unbelievably flakey whatever you do.

But I don't really accept that being 'bad' or 'good', or 'nice' or 'nasty' plays a profound role in whether or not you're attractive. It can potentially have some impact on some individuals, but it's not the deciding factor, or really even particularly important.

Most women prefer babies. Even women on here who think that their partner is wonderful, have, possibly subconsciously, selected him for his genes.

| 3 | Weekly Community Chat MegathreadI don't like any form of needless authority. I don't really like any form of authority at all. I skipped school all the time, and I turned out okay. School is about indoctrination not education. That's why the authorities can keep moving the goalposts on Covid, and most people keep queuing up for more restrictions.

But I find it boring when anyone, him included, starts going on about women. Unless they're bringing something really original to the table, which is rare. Same with female stand-ups.

| 17 | Do you agree or disagree with Daniel Tosh about relationship sex?I think it's the cheapest form of stand-up to crap on about women (or men if it's a female stand-up), relationships, and sex. Obviously that's why people do it, because it gets the instant reactions, then they get famous and successful. But for me it's very low-rent, boring, and predictable.

Mostly I get credited, but sometimes it is a pure ghost and someone else pretends that they've written it!

On the odd occasion when someone has done something outstanding, I have tipped them, but it is honestly extremely rare.

Luckily, I didn't care. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/02/21 08:44 PM |
| 1 | Weekly Community Chat MegathreadI would accept what you're saying about the force of example to a very great extent.

Whether or not they should acknowledge this is debatable, but the very nature of being privileged affords one advantages over others.

| 2 | Weekly Community Chat MegathreadYou're thinking about it as being doctrinal, when, as you described it yourself, it's a dynamic.

| 1 | Weekly Community Chat MegathreadIt's basically the same in the UK, similar discrimination laws would apply, and usually you would have no chance of denying someone trade based on their race. It's just a bit of a grey area because prostitution is technically illegal, but it's impossible to stop, so it's moderately tolerated. Because of its legal status, I assume it's not really regulated in the way that other industries are. I honestly don't know, I just know I've seen escorts say I won't see black men / Asians / Muslims. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/02/21 09:13 PM |
| 2 | Weekly Community Chat MegathreadIt's impossible to enforce in any meaningful sense anyway, as it will always be down to the choice of the sex worker. You may not be able to advertise that you don't see black men, but in practical terms if a black man turns up and you don't want to see him, what can he actually do?! I've often thought that this really applies across all industries, certainly for smaller companies. Can anyone ultimately force you to employ ethnic minorities, women, or any other demographic? I would say not. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/02/21 02:57 PM |
| 3 | Weekly Community Chat MegathreadI'm not sure of the legal ramifications or situation regarding this, but certainly in the UK escorts will quite openly say that they won't see black or Asian clients. It might be different in a brothel or parlour situation, but I would think that these establishments will always allow the women to decide whether or not they will see an individual client. Often these places get closed down anyway for the most ridiculous reasons. Similarly, I have seen escorts state that they won't see men under o… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/02/21 02:07 PM |

| 5 | Weekly Community Chat MegathreadNo, this is total rubbish. Attractiveness is subjective. If I don't find someone attractive then you can't tell me that I'm wrong.

| 2 | Weekly Community Chat MegathreadFear of not being seen as masculine seems to be major part of it. I assume that this has changed somewhat in the younger generation. But certainly in my generation, men generally found it very difficult to show weakness, step outside of the box in terms of behaviour, express themselves emotionally, do anything that might be perceived as unmasculine, etc. I'm not quite sure why, but somehow it becomes reinforced, and then even if you're someone who can do this, to a great extent you don't do it, … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/01/21 07:45 PM |

The only time it might happen is when there's a group, at which point it becomes more socially acceptable.

I don't participate in arguments, and I don't accept people trying to change me, or being unable to trust me. I'm very tolerant, patient and empathetic, and I expect a bit of the same in return.

Because women, ultimately, completely dictate dating, as their market value is stratospherically higher than the overwhelming majority of men. I went out with a woman a few years ago, and she told me that she'd dated (at least) 50 men in six months, and decided that none of them were good enough.

Thankfully, it was wedged behind some rocks, so I tried to balance precariously and fish it out, but the rocks were more slippery than I expected, and I fell in. I knew I would fall in one day, I've been anticipating this outcome ever since the first day I crossed the river. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/01/21 09:54 AM |

Before my life got good, I worked for the Child Support Agency. This was a government department that legislated child maintenance payments in the UK.

To be a 'boomer', you have to be part of the baby boomer generation, which means you have to be born in 1964 at the latest. You have to be at least 56 years-old. I would imagine that I'm one of the oldest people here, and even I am absolutely nowhere near being a boomer. Yet it's just used now as a label for anyone seemingly over the age of 30.

It's been a while (years, I guess) since I've thought of this, but I used to have a theory that nerdy/skinny men had some kind of advantage as they got older because it was easier for them to transition into the "distinguished" (I.e. career successful) look.

I don't think that is so different from my generation, I'm just an unusual person in many ways. However, the urban swinger lifestyle seems great when you're 20, it might seem great when you're 30, it might even seem great when you're 40.

There might be a reduced birth rate, partly due to economic reasons, but procreation is such a fundamental biological drive that it's not going to suddenly dissipate due to societal trends. Actually, the major issue for many guys is that we're ultimately not that important to women compared to children.

Have a think about what you're claiming. It should be quite easy for you to work out why this is incorrect. Cultural attitudes and insecurity underpin the idea that women who have had more sexual partners make better wives. It is not a rational position to take. It doesn't matter how many times people claim on here that it's rational, it's not rational. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/10/20 11:37 AM |

Men aren't honest with each other, so fundamentally something like Sex and the City cannot happen.

You click a few buttons, it literally took me 15 seconds, and pizza arrives at your door (and I ordered a jacket potato with tuna for my dog!).

By the time I was 14, I'd already worked out everything, and all of my initial conclusions about the world have turned out to be correct.

| 1 | Weekly Community Chat Megathread (19 July 2020)Good use of 'bucolic' - A+. I think that they simply can't afford to live in the countryside any more, due to gentrification / house price inflation.

I think there are many grey areas. I also think that most of us come from a perspective where dating is or has been challenging, and that significantly colours our perspective. I am definitely in agreement that dating is challenging for men in the modern climate, but that's certainly at least partly because it's … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/07/20 09:32 PM |

| 2 | Why are so many men so thirsty?This shouldn't need to be explained but... Erotic literature, that you have cited, obviously takes some time to consume, and turns women on over a period of time. Men can look at an image, let alone a video, and get turned on immediately. I wouldn't say that can't happen for women, but biologically it is just considerably less likely to happen. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/07/20 07:21 PM |

| 3 | Weekly Community Chat Megathread (12 July 2020)Technology has changed everything. If you went back 20-30 years, and possibly even less than that, the pattern of dating honestly wasn't that different than before the so-called sexual revolution. It's primarily the advent of technology that has moved the goalposts, and shifted attitudes.

| 1 | Why are biological differences not considered valid arguments?But what you're implying here is that simple act of having sex implies a willingness to potentially have a child and to raise it, it's a kind of spit in the face to personal and sexual autonomy for both sexes. We surely have to recognise that when we have sexual intercourse then a child can result. If you're not mature enough to recognise this then you're not mature enough to have sexual intercourse. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/07/20 04:09 PM |

I'm not sure why everyone makes such a massive fuss about paternity on here, as you can easily challenge the paternity of a child, and prove beyond all doubt that you are not the father.

| 10 | IG & FB are better for getting dates than Dating AppsCertainly, the majority of Reddit isn't self-authored sub-reddits, and I would never go to any page that is. Whereas Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, TikTok, and many others are almost entirely comprised of this. Reddit is about discussion and ideas. Social media isn't about discussion or ideas, it's about self-aggrandisement and narcissism. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/06/20 05:01 PM |
| 17 | IG & FB are better for getting dates than Dating AppsReddit is a "social news aggregation, web content rating, and discussion website." It is distinct from social media, in my view, because it doesn't involve the following: "Hey, everyone I've created a sub-reddit about me.

There is a human tendency, I would say need for most people, to seek an 'in group', or to want to feel part of a community. This is very natural and healthy.

| -1 | Men concerned with women's motivation for sex display unattractive feminine behavior.We've discussed this endlessly. Your attitude makes virtually no difference to whether or not you're attractive. It can help you cope with the inevitable rejection. Attraction mostly comes from looks, and it's mostly out of your control. Some women don't want to accept this because, I assume, they don't want to be perceived as shallow, for some bizarre reason. And some other people don't want to accept this because they want to believe, as we are generally brought up to believe (in order to mask… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/06/20 05:55 PM |

| 2 | women burdening men with their "feelings"?The simple answer is that to a greater or lesser extent men are taught to suppress their emotions. It's hard to explain how this happens exactly, but somehow it's socially conditioned. So many men don't know how to deal with emotions at all, including their own. Quite often when you see men becoming angry or other similar emotional states, it's because (a) that's one of the few emotions that it's 'acceptable' for them to express, (b) they've been bottling up their other emotions for so long that… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/06/20 02:59 PM |

The title says 39% and the word majority is nowhere to be found. The implication is quite obvious. If you say that something is happening 39% of the time, and it's a bad thing, then it's quite clear that the bad thing is happening 61% of the time, which is the majority of the time.

Secondly, I did say that 30% is higher than would be ideal. But people tend to see this in black-and-white terms. The ideal scenario would be for parents to be together in a family unit.

Many children live with their co-habiting parents, as confirmed by your own data. It's about 70% of children that live with both of their parents.

It doesn't matter what you think of yourself, it has no impact on anything. You can't 'looksmatch' because all women, unless they're desperate, want someone that they really want. Looksmatching is a nonsense concept. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 31/03/20 03:10 PM |

That doesn't mean that I'm going to give up, but I have very little time left - arguably I'm already too old - I won't be allowed to leave the house for the next six months, I've been trying for longer than many people here have been alive, and there is absolutely no logical reason to be optimistic.

| 28 | Where did "I Am The Prize" Go?In other fields, it's easy to believe that you're 'the prize' because your value is determined by your proficiency (to some extent). For example, I am 100% confident that I am a proficient writer, because I've got the CV and portfolio to prove it, and I've been told that I am many, many times. Conversely, in the dating field, you are absolutely dependent on the approval of others.

It beggars belief that anyone could possibly believe that. The deficit alone is now $1.5 trillion. Not the actual debt, the amount that the debt is increasing by annually.

So women don't fuck someone just because they can, particularly if they're happy with someone else. And they don't consider it impressive, or in any way something to boast about, if they've had lots of sexual partners. Whereas with men, you can argue, it's the total opposite.

The speaker did note that he felt that the Mate-Switching Theory was a more plausible explanation regarding female infidelity and mate selection.

In terms of the opposite sex, it isn't remotely useful to be the so-called BB any more. There are numerous reasons for this, it's partly that women are more independent now, it's partly the shifting values in society (not that long ago it was normal to get married as young as possible, and to make family your primary focus).

| 5 | Q4Men: What would you think if your wife or girlfriend looksmaxed with breast or butt implants?Breast implants I think can look really good. Butt implants I'm not personally keen on. I have dated someone who'd had breast implants, and on the whole I liked it. If someone wanted to change their body to such a degree that they were willing to undergo surgery then I would doubt that my opinion would have any impact on them. And I would just think "well, go for it then". I'm not sure why it would bother anyone if their wife or girlfriend wanted to her improve her body. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/01/20 08:17 PM |

| 1 | Considering the topic of crying comes up a lot, what's your perspective on women crying?Maybe 'obliged' is the wrong word. I did feel sorry for her, but she had become upset over something I had done, but I had done nothing wrong. So I did want to ensure that it was clear that I'd done nothing wrong. I've spent many hours with her, speaking to her and helping her out all through the time that her mum was diagnosed with cancer, and then went through treatment, and then passed away. I did everything that I possibly could to help her. It was ironic really because she is quite a bit yo… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/12/19 12:57 PM |
| 2 | Considering the topic of crying comes up a lot, what's your perspective on women crying?It would depend on the circumstances as to whether it would elicit sympathy, but you can't get around me by turning on the waterworks. The last time someone cried in front of me was when the woman I was dating had recently lost her mother, and was still in a pretty fragile state. And we had a bit of a disagreement, or rather I did something that upset her somewhat, or rather that she misinterpreted. Under the circumstances, I did feel obliged to comfort her, which I did, but I also ensured that … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/12/19 11:52 PM |

| 1 | Men, describe in detail your process of finding a partnerJust to clarify, I did have a good group of friends when I was younger, but they tend to drift away as you get older. The older you get, the more life tends to centre around families. Having said that, I could and should have done more to have a social life, but in my opinion this is kind of a pretence anyway, as people pursue a social life, until they find a partner, then they drift away from their social life. For example, if I was going to go to a meetup group, I would want there to be women … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/11/19 08:43 PM |

| 1 | On "Banter"So in the United States, you can stand and scream racist abuse at someone, and it's not a criminal offence. This could go on indefinitely, but it never becomes a criminal offence. It could go on day after day after day, and if you called the police, they would just say "he has every right to do that, you have to tolerate that for the rest of your life, without interruption, as long as you're in a public place"? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/11/19 04:28 PM |
| 1 | On "Banter"Yeah, it is, and I don't mind it. What bugs me about it is that it reaches the point where no-one can have a serious conversation about anything. Particularly men. And we're not very good at having serious conversations at the best of times. If there is a radio station, or any form of media, that is remotely aimed at young people, you know it will just be a load of inane nonsense, dressed up as being 'banter'. And everything that gets big on YouTube, it's all fucking nonsense. You can guarantee … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/11/19 04:27 PM |
| 2 | On "Banter"If someone attended a sporting event in the US, and was screaming very strong racist abuse at one of the players, not that it would ever happen because Americans behave sensibly at sporting events, clearly there would be very serious consequences for that person. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/11/19 08:01 AM |

| 7 | On "Banter"I don't know what it's like if you're American, but 'banter' would be quite high on my list of words and concepts that should be stricken from existence. Everything is fucking banter nowadays. Hey, I wasn't really racially abusing that footballer, it was just 'banter'. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 31/10/19 03:23 PM |
| 2 | Age, on its own, has little implication regarding maturity, wisdom, competence, or any other character attributeNo, not at all. It's a tyranny to suggest that you have to be an expert in order to have an opinion. Note that as an expert or professor you will always be hugely respected and your view promoted, until you commit the heresy of saying something that isn't required by the elite that gets publicity. At which point you will be marginalised, attacked, ridiculed, and / or your career will be destroyed. And if that doesn't work then they're not immune to killing people. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/10/19 08:05 PM |
| 2 | Weekly Community Chat Megathread (27 October 2019)It's not hugely encouraging for them that the only person who said anything remotely coherent in the article was Joshua Citarella, aged 32. Everything he said was completely correct. Unfortunately, none of the teenagers were aware of any of these issues, that will absolutely define their existence, but they would chastise you if you weren't satisfactorily non-binary aware. The education system works, that's for sure. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/10/19 07:59 PM |
| 2 | Age, on its own, has little implication regarding maturity, wisdom, competence, or any other character attributeI'm sure your uncle is a nice guy, but they're inculcated into believing in the system. If you had a high proportion of economics professors, or any teaching profession, who believed in radical social change, it would be a fucking disaster for the system. That can't be allowed to happen. And a huge amount of effort goes into ensuring that it doesn't happen. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/10/19 08:32 AM |
| 2 | Age, on its own, has little implication regarding maturity, wisdom, competence, or any other character attributeI'm not in favour of the European Union, or the European Commission. It was intended from day one to simply cement powerful economic and banking interests, and create a fertile 'supranational' market for them. Which is exactly what it's done. I can't really do this subject justice in a short post, but the idea that the EU is some sort of enlightened, United Colours of Benetton, hand-holding exercise for the general public is just nonsense. It was set up for the top 0.1%, it's run in the interest… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/10/19 08:30 PM |
| 3 | Age, on its own, has little implication regarding maturity, wisdom, competence, or any other character attributeWhile I already largely agreed with the OP, living in Britain while the so-called Brexit stuff has been going on has just confirmed for me that it's impossible for large swathes of the population to ever act in anything approaching a mature manner. If I'd allowed it to affect me then it would have been highly depressing, because it's become obvious to me that most people are incapable of rationally assessing issues, have absolutely no principles, and are almost completely self-interested and tri… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/10/19 10:18 AM |

| 1 | Weekly Community Chat Megathread (20 October 2019)I think writing this book about sex is going to put me off sex forever. Although that's not a massive loss to the field of sex, frankly. I wrote a long section today, and I just want to do something entirely wholesome now. I want to sit in my dressing gown and slippers, cuddle my dog, drink hot chocolate, and listen to Mozart. In fact, I think I want to do that for the rest of my life. I need to cleanse myself before I rattle off the next passage of drunken debauchery. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/10/19 08:31 PM |
| 1 | Weekly Community Chat Megathread (20 October 2019)It says on Wikipedia that 41% of US women are obese and 38% of US men, so I assume it's roughly similar for the overweight category as well. So there might be slightly more overweight women, but surely by virtue of not being fat yourself you would automatically be near the peak of the bell curve, and therefore you would have a better chance of dating the slim women? That's before you take demographics into consideration, surely the proportion of pre-wall overweight women is significantly lower. … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/10/19 01:50 PM |

| 2 | Image posting is enabled for everyoneWhat you're saying is completely true, unfortunately many people cannot recognise this. I don't know if it's because they're taught to trust doctors and authority in general, or if they just don't understand the subject, or possibly it's a combination of the two and other factors as well. Unless you have some very serious psychological problem then you are the only person who can dig yourself out of unhappiness.

| 1 | Women are not choosy matersI have got to know women quite well who haven't had sex for prolonged periods of time, years not months, and it hasn't bothered them in the slightest. And it probably wouldn't bother them if they never had sex again. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/10/19 08:23 PM |
| 2 | Image posting is enabled for everyoneI accept that evolution occurs and can be observed at a cellular level. I do not accept that when someone does something selfless it's because they gain some evolutionary advantage from it. I cannot accept that because I have seen and witnessed people do things from which they clearly gained no evolutionary advantage. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/10/19 03:59 PM |

| 2 | Image posting is enabled for everyoneI don't doubt that there is some merit to evolutionary psychology, I do doubt that it's an all-encompassing explanation for everything, with the ability to account for all human behaviour and motivations. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/10/19 03:47 PM |
| 1 | Image posting is enabled for everyoneThis is a big part of the reason that I stopped studying Psychology. During the academic study you are forced to accept things that not only cannot be backed up with evidence, but that are just fundamentally wrong.
