Why are you on PPD?

betterdeadthanbeta · 2016-09-30T12:17:40+00:00

To denounce the evils of truth and love.

To extend TRP's reach to the stars above.

GroovyEFS · 2016-09-30T09:24:00+00:00

Burns time. The IRC is more fun than the sub tho.

kgh55 · 2016-09-30T10:27:25+00:00

Interested in finding the truth about the subject matter debated here, obviously. TRP is interesting but sucks 'cause it doesn't allow disagreeing too hard with their theories.

Changes4175 · 2016-09-30T16:00:32+00:00

I want to see a healthy alternative to TRP developed.

It's not going to come out of /r/menslib

alreadyredschool · 2016-09-30T09:30:05+00:00

Debating. I often take stances I don't have and try to argue with them, it greatly increases my knowledge about certain subjects and it improves my debating skillz.

Also there are people on here that I greatly enjoy, lurking is not enough.

MisgenderedCactus · 2016-09-30T09:56:35+00:00

I enjoy discussing gender issues, but there are very few people in my life who share my stance. It's refreshing to be able to say I'm pro-MGTOW without needing to explain what that means, or having my family shame me for being non-traditional. It's also just cool reading so many views and having honest conversations about these topics.

CursedLemon · 2016-09-30T14:57:02+00:00

This place seems to have mellowed out over the past year or so. Did all the TRP spastics migrate to /r/The_Donald ?

SkentyDooBabble · 2016-09-30T15:44:14+00:00

love to see a good debate smack down
I get sucked in to the drama
refine my beliefs about sex / gender politics

jonascf · 2016-09-30T11:33:25+00:00

Sexuality, gender roles and gender relations are interesting topics to me and this is a place were there's a good mix of different points of view.

KoennonTiger · 2016-09-30T15:32:33+00:00

I used to be a very angry red piller. Being able to chat about this stuff in here with women, while not always productive, helped me get over the anger phase. Certain women in particular that post here. It's healthy to have a reminder everyone is human after all. And that some women are doing their best and not simply predating on guys.

Also where else am I going to be told all about how much I just hates the womenz!!! because I want to be an actual father? Lol.

BlackPill_Inc · 2016-09-30T09:31:55+00:00

That locked thread on the front page pretty much echoes my thoughts, and why I discuss here.

It seems to me that TRP and TBP are a horseshoe, with their beliefs becoming more delusional and entrenched over time.

PPD is a reasonable sub where all spheres can congregate and discuss these issues without bias, so that's why I read and post here.

LewisCross · 2016-09-30T11:05:11+00:00

-- because people are wrong on the Internet and they need me to correct them.

--because the Open exchange of ideas gets to the truth. TRP has, in my opinion, stood the test of debate, and continues to stand in spite of everything Blues throw at it.

Five_Decades · 2016-09-30T12:50:29+00:00

I have never been very successful with women for various reasons, so I wanted to study gender and sexuality to figure out why.

I know why now, but it isn't really something I can change. Now I'm just working on acceptance.

Also, I find gender and sexuality very interesting. They are (in the meta sense) one of the biggest sources of stress, misery and discontentment people face in wealthy counties. And knowledge is power.

nomnomponytail · 2016-09-30T16:46:07+00:00

I find human behavior fascinating. I never fully identified with my liberal SWPL peers or with conservatives who tend to be religious and uneducated. I saw a lot of "Red Pill" thinking emerging online about a decade ago, and found it interesting. Even then, many of these writers were clearly disenfranchised men; some of them were seeking power they did not deserve, and creating rationalizations for deserving it. Others were legitimately unbiased and measured in their thinking. Since then, the former type has pretty much supplanted the latter type entirely.

This is the only active place I found where I can discuss these ideas. I comment on a few blogs anonymously, but increasingly the comments sections are comprised of low-value men in spite of the quality of the blogger.

slicebypass · 2016-09-30T19:07:04+00:00

I'm just trying to understand how and why the SMP became so unbalanced in the last 5 years or so. I personally believe the 80/20 rule has now become more relevant than ever.

looking for a reason to believe in god.

ornament_bode · 2016-09-30T09:57:34+00:00

Hoping to find the mystery to getting women to like me instead of going out and meeting people, which would eventually result in women liking me.

midnightvulpine · 2016-09-30T10:17:12+00:00

Enjoyment. Amusement. Field testing my beliefs and adjusting them as I see fit.

despisedlove2 · 2016-09-30T12:43:27+00:00

It is fun.

And to help brothers who may be under the influence of women, and/or feminism.

GaiusScaevolus · 2016-09-30T17:34:09+00:00

Boredom. Advertising. Putting my understanding of certain components of the world through any anti-fragility test.

sunkindonut149 · 2016-09-30T17:35:55+00:00

The topic is fascinating.

CrazyTom54 · 2016-09-30T18:07:47+00:00

I enjoy tearing apart weak arguements and having civil discussions with other users because it provides me with the opportunity to expand upon my knowledge and possibly learn something new.

Also, because I'm bored...... :/

absurdlivingghost · 2016-09-30T19:40:57+00:00

Honestly? My constant failures with the opposite sex are a large source of depression for me, but the "ForeverAlone" subreddits can be pretty toxic echo chambers, so I like to hear differing takes on the matter, even if I don't agree with them.

Though I've seen some discussion about a moratorium on "incel" posts, so my tenure here may be short lived.

COPCO2 · 2016-09-30T19:44:01+00:00

Amazing way to kill time.

Casshern1973 · 2016-09-30T21:38:21+00:00

I have no particular purpose other than expressing my point of views. I like it because you have people who have completely different philosophies who fight each other but keep a level of courtesy, without softening the content of their communication with the tone.

GregariousWolf · 2016-10-01T13:03:45+00:00

Because the battle of the sexes is interesting. It has inspired poetry and prose since time immemorial.

I discuss it here because I'm interested in other points of view and the moderation is not stifling.

Barsukas_Tukas · 2016-10-02T23:26:46+00:00

Want to find the balance between two extremes that are TBP and TRP.
