Hello again, and a big thank you to everyone who participated in the two surveys that went out this summer!

Last month /r/PurplePillDebate was surveyed by a team of researchers from the UC Santa Barbara Sociology department, click here to see the results.

We also had the regular survey that takes place twice a year and polls PPD users on general demographics, romantic life and sexual preferences.

Survey Results

General Results: these are the results for all participants (N = 116)

Results broken down by pill/gender:

Blue Pill Results : results for blue pillers (N = 26)

Purple Pill Results : results for purple pill, purple pill (leans blue) and purple pill (leans red) (N = 50)

Red Pill Results : results for red pillers (N = 22)

No pills, thanks : the non-medicated (N = 18)

NOTE: depending on your browser viewing the below results may cause your screen to scroll far to the right, that's the list of countries loading in a very weird and inconvenient format so apologies in advance if that happens to you.

Men : results for Cis men (N = 70)

Women : results for Cis women (N = 43)

NOTE: categories for Trans man, Trans woman and other had very few participants, in order to protect their privacy those results won't be made public.

• white enough to pass

• Half black, half white

• White and Latina

• biracial

• White & Asian

• White, Hispanic

• Arab

Q12 What are your political views?

• Liberal in the traditional sense, not modern day liberal.

• It's complicated.

• was communist, now slowly coming back to capitalism

• Don't affiliate with politics

Q17 What type of relationship would you prefer to be in?

(N = 10)

• I would prefer a one way open relationship

• Harem

• Open, no commitment

• Friends with benefits AND casual dating - which I do.

• Don't care

• Monogamish

• Not interested in relationships

• Monogam-ish

• Not important to me

• She's poly. I'm monogamous. We compromise.

Q18 Would you prefer a more traditional or egalitarian relationship?

(N = 5)

• I make all the decisions and do little to no work.

• A fair one. Whatever both parties agree on.

• Am gay so irrelevant, but prefer to be submissive

• Not important to me

Q20 How did you meet your current or most recent partner?

(N=2)

• None

• We live in the same neighbourhood

Q28 Gender Activism

(N=15)

• Non-feminist but not MRA

• I think gender activism is pathetic. Discussing gender and it's impact on society is much more important than fighting for one side. Ironically, as well, Men's Right Activists tend to share much in common with feminine mentality and feminism. If it was truly about the male gender it would be about fucking bitches and eating bacon not whining about the 1% of men that get abused in relationships. /s

• Not an activist

• I don't believe labels are helpful.

• NA

• Pro-MGTOW

• Activism lel - enjoy the decline

• not

• Socialist

• Antifeminist

• Feminism is egalitarian

• Masculinist

• activism?

• Mgtow

• I'm not against men's rights as a concept, but in practice quite a bit of what MRA's espouse is unhealthy and incorrect IMO. Feminism appeals to me more in general, but I don't feel comfortable calling myself such because I don't think it's a helpful label.

Q30 What other pill subs do you read?

(N=4)

• Only occasionally, because it's a humor sub

• /r/altrp

• /r/MGTOW, /r/incels

• Mgtow

Q31 What other gender-related subs or websites do you read?

(N = 11)

• Chateau Heartiste

• Karen Straughan

• Ki

• FeMRADebates

• MRPW!!

• /r/femradebates

• Antimisandry.com

• /r/GCdebatesQT

• RSDNation.com

• /r/inceltears

• /r/FemRaDebates

Considerations for the Next Survey

Purple pillers, would you prefer one category or do you like the option to choose red or blue-leaning?

Intelligence and sense of humor seemed sorely missed from the ranking question, are there any other qualities/characteristics for a potential partner that should be added next time?

Due to some complaints and my own general annoyance with SurveyMonkey I'm also looking for alternative survey platforms, preferably something with good privacy protection that's easy for most people to use.

That pretty much wraps it up, thanks again for taking the survey and enjoy the rest of your summer!!
