Telling me that men are all manipulative liars is not the flex you think it is. The fact that you're calling a basic step-by-step sequence of getting to know someone "a rom com plot" is wild. Might as well say that men are psychopaths while you're at it.

Is being able to instantly hook up with people you meet in any odd location not a reality for many people? It's not. You either live in a dating sim, or think real life is like a dating sim. I still am aware enough to not be so sure of the absolutes. I'm sure I could find someone to give me money if I aggressively panhandle them. That doesn't mean that I can't be sure of the absolute that people don't like being aggressively panhandled.

I don't think you know someone from light conversation at the gym As it turns out, you get to know people if you talk with them over the course of months and let yourself discuss more than just surface-level pleasantries, you can get to know them.

i dont understand your point? arent you suggesting if everyone was like guy 1, it wouldnt be ruined? No. And I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion. im saying that doesnt matter since theres no way to mistake guy 2 for guy 1 from the womans perspective. Guys can start with sounding normal, and then go from 0-to-sex-talk in an instant. It's jarring. if she wants guy 1, she can easily avoid guy 2 and still find any guy 1s out there. Guy 2 literally approached her. You can't avoid people talk…

she probably has 100s of Pookies and Tyrones who didn't have to wait. Remember, Ashley Madison didn't have even 10,000 female users. On Tinder, men outnumber women 9-to-1. The vast majority of women don't have any interest in living the life of your teenage fantasies. It's a shit deal, for starters.

We don't live in teenage-boy-fantasy land where you can instantly hook up with people you meet in any odd location. Going off with randos who proposition you is a good way to end up dead in someone's basement.

Women are DESPERATE for the attention of studs. They live for it. It makes their whole day, having a stud hit on her. Male projection. It's how men would act if they were in that position. But women are not men.

Women don't go "AWOOOOOGA" upon seeing a hot man in public. Be real. And even if he's that striking, him approaching her somewhere like the gym is gonna set off alarm bells.

The latter behavior ruins it because the women then have to assume that a man that's talking to her is hitting on her, and be ready for him to pitch a fit when he's rejected. It's very stressful.

Who cares. If you are attractive and have game you can hit on women anywhere at anytime and they will love it. They will not. Just like they will love gagging on some dicks and others are just utility dildos. I like how men always loop around to thinking that women think like men do.

Women getting tracked by police over abortions while rape kits go untested would like to have a word with you. Another example they used was for some reason catcalling? I've always been confused by this as this is not opression. It wouldn't be oppression if women had the option to shoot them without getting jailed for it. Like, getting shouted at and followed should always be considered threatening action and treated accordingly. But apparently it's fine as long as the shouting is sexually expli…

Why are men choosing to have kids with women they're suspicious of? What a bunch of morons. There's no use in debating the exact line of "baseless" when your end goal is clearly to argue that nothing is baseless, and thus conclude that men have no obligation to communicate with women they intend to impregnate. It's just dumb.

The issue is that the number of men who actually think of it only after conception is going to be far fewer than the number of men who were thinking of it the whole time, but only said it after conception because they didn't want to risk not getting their legacy. If there are legit reasons for him to be suspicion, that's it's own thing (and outside the scope of this post).

Because there wouldn't be weeks of waiting while the courts track down the baby daddy and make him give up his DNA for the test (which is going to be especially hard on a woman who just gave birth and is taking care of a newborn). And men wouldn't be able to get away with lying about who they are, impregnating a woman, and leaving with her having no way to track him down. The database cuts through all the noise and gets everything solved way faster.
/r/PurplePillDebate02/08/26 06:06 PM

Sure, which is why the communication needs to be done before a baby exists.

There is a child that needs supporting. The proper father needs to support that child. The same test that says the purported father is not the father, needs to say who the actual father is so child support can be filed ASAP.

Which is not within the scope of this post. My post is about men who want baselessly want one, but who instead choose not to communicate that until after their wife is pregnant.

A man can express his right to know. If he conveniently waits until after she's pregnant to express it, he is a dishonest, irresponsible moron who thus brought a baby into a broken home, and who is thus a bad person.

It sounds like you're saying it's NEVER ok to ask for a paternity test. There are obvious consequences to asking for a paternity test. That's why, if you're going to ask for one baselessly, you need to do it before you knock your partner up. That doesn't mean there aren't scenarios where it would make sense to ask for a test, though. If I was suspicious back then (and I wouldn't be without good reason), then I would have asked her for one. Which is an entirely reasonable scenario.
/r/PurplePillDebate02/08/26 02:09 AM

Why would I agree to NEVER ask for a paternity test? That by itself sounds suspicious. Hold up. You brought up in another comment that women should be the ones to bring up the paternity test issue. Now you're saying it's suspicious if she would. I guess that takes care of that. The man needs to be the one to proactively bring up the paternity test issue pre-pregnancy because it would be suspicious if the woman did. GG.

But he brings it up once pregnancy happens, just to make sure. Which is a horrible thing to do. He knew she'd be likely to break up with him over it if he asked ahead of time. So now a baby is going to be born into a broken home.

If we grant that short-term or unexpected circumstances are admissible here then all we’re really left with is a scenario where a man decides to get a paternity test for no other reason than that he has a deep-seated ideological conviction to do so, in which case I would absolutely agree with you. This is the gist of it, yeah. I'm reasonable and understand nuance. If you have a one-night stand with a near stranger, it's reasonable to not blindly trust this near-stranger.

Yes, what happens is the women gives signs of infidelity. Then men ask. Mysteriously only after she's pregnant. Neeeeever before. Give me a break. And let's put the shoe on the other foot.

A man can, y'know, skip town. It's not financially worth it for a lot of people to track down someone who decides to run. And if the database DNA is tied to, say, his social security number, running won't help him. Plus the database match would be faster, and save the courts time and money.

The issue is that you're bringing up an adjacent topic to try and argue that telling a pregnant woman that you want a paternity test toooootally isn't an accusation of cheating. You're not fooling anyone. That still doesn't explain why wanting biological certainty suddenly becomes dishonest or immoral if the conversation happens later. Because his desire didn't manifest out of the ether. He either wanted the test already and lied to make sure he "got his legacy", or there's a direct trigger that…

You're treating the broken home as if it's something the man unilaterally created. It is. Because he could've prevented it by using his big boy words like an adult. You're essentially arguing that because he should have anticipated she might leave, he's responsible for her choice.

It is a sound argument. Because you can communicate before any baby exists at all. And having no baby in this scenario is objectively better than having a baby in a broken home. The argument you're making shows that men are okay with their biological child having a horrible upbringing in a broken home as long as the get to fellate their egos over it.
/r/PurplePillDebate01/08/26 12:49 AM

it isn't, there is no moral requirement to have hard conversations, there is to allow a man to know paternity. Except that lack of communication thus causes a baby to be born into a broken home. Which could be avoided if the man chooses to instead be an adult. Fartherhood is only a mans responsibility if he's the biological farther or if he knowing consents to be a farther of a child he knows is not his. Except most men said to be the father are actually the father, which means that waiting unti…

Where we disagree is your claim that failing to do so suddenly makes him a bad or dishonest person. He's a bad person because now a baby exists that otherwise wouldn't have because of his actions. A whole-ass baby. A baby that needs care.

And surely he could have seen this as a possibility. At best he's an irresponsible moron. But the fa…

Babies don't manifest out of the ether. If you think it's not yours, then you think it's someone else's. That's an accusation of cheating. And accusations of cheating are a reasonable cause to end a relationship.

You're assuming a paternity test automatically means, "I think you're a cheating whore." Why? Because babies don't manifest out of the ether. If the baby isn't yours, it's someone else's. As for, "she can break up with you," okay... and? I don't have a problem with that. If that's her boundary, she's free to leave. That doesn't magically make his request unreasonable. It just means she values not being asked more than staying in the relationship. Which is why he should say so before he knocks he…

You can tell your wife this before you guys conceive. There is literally nothing stopping you from doing this.

Your argument assumes the man's desire for certainty is inherently unreasonable.

women continue to whinge and create problems with their emotional instability all over society Funny, because men's whiny emotional instability is why they can't use their big boy words to demand a pregnancy test ahead of time. If paternity tests are done by default, there needs to be a database of male DNA to match the baby to its proper father. Anything less is testerics and men trying to worm their way out of accountability. And that's the final word on that matter. Simple as.

You're saying this about proactive communication.

Speaking to any woman reading this: I've personally never understood why a paternity test is such a big issue to some women. Because babies don't manifest out of the ether.

No. If you disclose that you want a paternity before she gets pregnant, she can break up with you with no child being born. If you wait until after she gets pregnant, a child now exists in a broken home. The former is the objectively responsible option. The latter is the horrible option chosen by a bad, dishonest person.

But the issue is that mothers of the children will be charged if they dont protect the children from neglect or abuse by the father. Not if he has full custody. Men are more likely to remarry and have another woman. Single dads don't really have as much issues finding a replacement partner. Yeah.

The answer to all your points is that disproving paternity is not proving intention to commit fraud. People who commit infidelity are dumb, but not necessarily malicious. Punishing them all as if they were definitely malicious doesn't make sense and reeks of wanting to punish women specifically (since it would take a lot of hoop jumping for a man to be able to force false paternity).

Nope. Men need to get over the fact that reality isn't ones and zeros.

It would require a super high bar of evidence to clear: That she and the victim were married when the child was conceived. That she specifically went out of her way to get pregnant by another man.

No, you're trying to equate things that aren't equivalent. Being arrested and tried for a crime doesn't mean that you'll be found guilty (because it's "innocent until proven guilty").

Or we could give male objectification its own name to distinguish it from female objectification. Male objectification (if we go by your examples) leads to men being perceived with caution.

Superficial standards are unreasonable when you refuse to put the amount of effort into your appearance that you expect from your partner.

If women are to be clowned on for not seeing through the aforementioned men, then yes. If women have to assume that every man trying to approach her is trying to fuck her, and also have to brace themselves for the inevitable hostility that comes with that man interacting with her, then any man approaching them should be considered that type of person. Why do you want to make a woman's day worse? Just leave her alone.

Men will get hostile if you entertain a conversation with you if you don't bring up that you have a boyfriend ASAP. (Because as far as men are concerned, men would never strike up a conversation with a female stranger if he wasn't trying to fuck her; so of course she's wasting his time because she "should already know this".) Of course, men also get fussy when you do say you have a boyfriend too, because you're telling them you see right through them.

If a man says he’s struggling with his health or mental issues, it’s generally a cold “go the therapy” or “life is hard you need to push thru it”.

The societal default should be that if you're in a relationship with someone long enough, the plan is to eventually commit. This is because the default life path involves the continuation of the species (which requires a lot of commitment). People shouldn't be railroaded into the default life path if they don't want to be, but it's on them to communicate that ahead of time. That said, Tinder is for hookups, so the unspoken default presumption should be that you're not looking for anything seriou…

And I do think some boys need to be disciplined more. There are disruptive kids and the parents try gentle parenting techniques that the kids ignore.

Romantic companionship fits into that broader category for most people. Across cultures and throughout history, humans consistently form pair bonds and seek intimate connection.

I feel like women dont understand that courting them can be mentally draining sometimes especially if you’re the only one planning dates. You don't think it's mentally draining when women have to be the prefrontal cortex of the relationship and remember everything that needs to be done (as well as doing the majority of the housework)? Like, women should be planning dates too; but chances are she's using way more mental energy keeping you both afloat (especially if you're doing so little that you…

Men have the de facto presumption that they are inherently malicious and horrible people on top of being lonely. At least women in the same loneliness boat are usually just presumed "pathetic" at worst. I think it would behoove men not to try and leverage that presumption to their advantage, but I also think we need to have more avenues with clear goalposts for men to meet in order to be accepted into given groups.

This supermarket analogy is just as misandrist because the presumption is still that men are still bad for you. In fact, it may be even more misandrist.

Avoiding being near them. Ending any conversations ASAP. Being quick to resort to measures of self defense if they get too close and refuse to leave when asked. Hiding doesn't make sense when it's half the population. Constant contempt and scorn aren't a viable long-term solution. The biggest nut to crack is to figure out how to, y'know, make it so men are no longer viewed "potential" predators without throwing women into the shredder.

Can't speak for everyone, but I think women just understand context better. A 24 year old and a 32 year old are in different stages of life. Maybe you get the seniority hierarchy (which was the norm regardless of sex for most of human history), but there's not really any practical use for hierarchy in the same way that there is for men. Even "Queen Bee" nonsense is more a result of unchecked aggression and poor social guardrails than anything.

Again. This is a theoretical ideal that's reasonable on its surface.

Weather is inherently unpredictable the farther out in time you are making your prediction.

And just because the weather forecast says rain doesn't mean that there will be rain at the exact moments you are outside. But the weather still isn't a conscious entity.

Because that man is a human making conscious human decisions. Instead, they should prepare as best they can for that potential outcome. From anyone.

It's neither. I'm saying that if you're assaulted, you can't be blamed for a supposed lack of precautions. I'm also saying that if men are so predatory that women all have to take precautions (lest they be blamed for their assault), that that presumption of predatoriness should be applied at all level of society. I'm not going to shame anyone for taking precautions if they really want to, though. As long as they don't finger wag at people who get assaulted.
/r/PurplePillDebate07/03/26 11:00 PM

If it's reasonable and smart to treat men like they are predators, then men should all be treated like they are predators. Do predators deserve trust? No. Do predators deserve kindness? No. Should predators have every action they take questioned through the lens of preventing harm? Of course! It's only logical, after all. But are men predators? I don't think so. But if you'd like to be treated as a predator with all the downstream effects that come with it, I won't stop you from arguing for it.
/r/PurplePillDebate07/03/26 10:43 PM

Yes yes. "Not all men, but always a man." My biggest point is that women shouldn't be blamed when assaulted and shouldn't have to plan their lives around avoiding assault (because men aren't predators). Asshole men assault more than asshole women, but being assaulted in general shouldn't be met with sanctimonious finger wagging.

And would you personally always being treated like a predator/loose cannon in all scenarios be considered a worthy trade? You yourself are a man after all.

1) That bad men come out of the ether and you have to always be on guard in case they show up. But then if you take any precautions around a given man, you're mean, rude, hysterical, and unfair. 2) Decide whether men are predators or not and act accordingly.

Majority or not, predatory men are still individuals making individual choices. And most men are not predators. Which means that it doesn't make sense to finger wag at women about how they should've taken more precautions when men assault them.

Men are not predators. Men are individuals. Yet men themselves will argue that men are predators when it means that they can blame women for being assaulted. But since men are not predators, it's unreasonable to expect women to build their lives around the idea of avoiding assault from men. Because bad men are bad people acting as individuals. But if we really do need to treat men as inherently predatory, how society treats men should reflect that.

Your argument is black and white thinking. The logical conclusion to your argument is that anyone who is victimized should be judged because they, in theory, could've made better decisions.

The idea of women behaving badly has been used as a cudgel for men to browbeat them since time immemorial. Women have never had such an iron grip on laws and their enforcement that men have had no other option than to keep their heads down and bear the mistreatment.

The draft being relevant has nothing to do with how it fits into the overton window. It does. Because people would be dragging it into the public conscious if they thought their loved ones were in active danger of being drafted. We're damn near about to start WW3, it's always relevant. That's the whole point about why the Selective Service is inequal. So long as it's there, it's a threat. Then it needs to be in the overton window so people will actually vote on it.

The guy is literally saying that women shouldn't have the right to vote because women don't have to register for the draft. You could easily get rid of this imbalance by either making selective service gender neutral, or by abolishing the draft entirely.

But then the question is, why even go through with the pregnancy if you just planned to make the kid someone else's problem? Why jizz in a woman if you're going to abandon the resulting kid? Why jizz in a woman if you have any doubts that she'll get an aborting if she winds up pregnant?

It always weirds me out how these posts presume that women look at casual sex the same way men do. Like, dating isn't a numbers game for women. Sex isn't the primary factor women consider. There are other criteria to meet. I don't know how this can be made any clearer.

Most owed child support isn't paid. The mother is usually one one left holding the bag. Even if the perception was that both parents are equally at fault for having a kid in the first place, the mother almost always gets the vast majority of the consequences (while the father gets off scot-free).

Statistically, children fare better in dual-parent households than single-parent ones. However, the outcomes for any particular child vary so wildly, depending on other circumstances, that it's not worth jumping to general conclusions.

Single mothers (the parent who stayed) get blamed if their children don't turn out right. Since there aren't any benefits to being a single mother, and because stepping up to raise your child alone is apparently not enough, single mothers should wipe their hands of the matter and put their kids up for adoption. Frankly, I think doing so would throw a lot of chaos in the system, but a bunch of kids suddenly flooding the foster care system would certainly prove a point.

If a man is a net negative to a woman's life, she should stay single. It used to be that women had no economic opportunities as individuals (which artificially inflated men's attractiveness as mates). Now, women don't have to rely on men for survival, but men haven't adapted with the times.

You have to fill your life with so many new experiences that they crowd out what could have been (a.k.a. the things you missed out on as a kid). People are prone to falling into routines. If you live without new experiences, the days will blend and go by fast. Watching the years fly by with nothing to show for it will only compound your regrets. Doing new things and meeting new people will help with that.

That's fine but then how about not nagging after you finish vetting the man and get into an actual relationship? No one should have to nag, If you're at the point of nagging, just leave.

The safe bet for women is to presume that they can't change men. If a man isn't a reliable partner when she gets with him, he won't be any more reliable 5 years later. Hence why women are the "finish line" - the lack of growth gets locked in when you have a new mommy doing everything for you.

So women have to coddle men's feefees or else they'll lose their rights. What a racket. I'm all for not punishing men for opening up and showing weakness. I believe that I as an individual don't hurt men for showing weakness, and I believe that everyone should do the same. Let's not pretend that men were any nicer while women fought for their rights, though.

You say that as if women don’t actually want kids or as if there isn’t the intrinsic value to to having them in the first place. The intrinsic value to having kids isn't tangible and is reliable for absolutely nothing. I have no doubt that the majority of women want kids. However, they also don't want their final years to be hell on earth. Since raising children doesn't actually guarantee that you'll have anyone to take care of you, it's understandable to prioritize gaining assets (like money) t…

It should be common sense that hurting people hurts them, even if the perpetrator is a woman and the victim is a man. That said, the masculine bravado to assert that women are not capable of hurting men in any way that matters doesn't help.

Men want family like a kid wants a puppy. They want it, but not the responsibility that comes with it. Women are the ones left holding the bag when men decide that adult obligations are mean, rude, and unfair.

They depend on men, as a whole, for the enforcement of their own rights. Nope. They depend on those employed in the structures and governing bodies. Is it mostly men in said jobs? Sure. But most men aren't in those jobs. Men as a whole aren't the ones doing the enforcing. It's the few being paid for it. The average man can do little by himself, but as a whole they can do a lot: Just like women.

What is the purpose of the OP, then?

The average man is in no position to take away her rights. (Murder her? Sure. But there will, in theory, be consequences for doing that.) As such, there's no reason to crow about how "men can take away the rights of women" if there's nothing you're implying with it. Do you want women to treat yo…

The OP made it gendered. I responded in kind. "Not husband material" and the like are also broad generalizations. If you're called "not husband material" for having a certain body count, I'd think it's just as unfair. Women are less likely to do this than men are, though.

What men do behind closed doors is no one's business, and does not affect how other people treat them. What women do behind closed doors is apparently everyone's business, and results in people treating them worse. If men were treated like "slutty" women (with the agency of said women to do anything about it), men would quickly change their tune.

Or you just live at home until you find your husband. So relying on chance instead of taking responsibility for your own life. Which is irresponsible. And doubly silly since lots of people meet their partners through work. Society should be made up of families, not individuals. It should, but prioritizing the whole is not rewarded or compensated in any way. Which means it's entirely reasonable for women to focus on themselves.

I could replace a mercedes with a honda civic and my point would still stand. Homelessness is bad and no one wants to be homeless. And if you want to live in a good area with good infrastructure and good opportunities, that takes money. If you want to be prepared for future emergencies, you need money. And in the modern age, it's the responsibility of the individual to get their own money, male or female. That doesn't make women transgender. I'm not sure what's so hard to understand about this.

I'm down for men being considered as emotionally intelligent as women. But men won't be as soon as that recognition of emotional intelligence then comes with the same level of expectations that women are held to.

And yet you'd rather cry in a mercedes than in a homeless camp. If you have access to resources, you can use it to better your life. If you don't, you're stuck. I'm not sure what's hard to understand about this.

"""Biology""" never intended for anyone to fly in an airplane, own a bank account, or live without community. The modern age requires adaptations from both sexes. And since money is needed for a good quality of life (since your life will suck if you don't have access to it), it's only natural to pursue it (instead of expecting it to manifest out of the ether like a moron). Not sure what's relevant to my argument in your post edit.

Money can be exchanged for goods and services. Money is also what you need to have even a decent quality of life. Women wanted to be in the job market because men would treat them horribly and squeeze every last drop of leverage they could out of their paycheck.

I would like what these guys who supposedly "try their best" look like, though. If I guy is fit, has a good skincare routine, has a flattering haircut, has well-fitting clothes in a style that speaks of who he is, and can otherwise carry a conversation well, he's going to be ahead of most other guys if he's otherwise at least average in most other areas.

Men aren’t required to be “good” to get access to sex. Women are normally required to be “good” for access to relationships from the men they want to marry. How does this statement have anything to do with anything I've said in this comment chain. And there are no physical repercussions because women en masse can’t do a damn thing to a man.

That the manosphere will argue in whatever way will let them lay all responsibility at the feet of women, regardless of how bad it implies men are as well.

In other news: Water is wet. Women are the same species of primate as men. Even with aggregate differences, treating any one category of adults inherently like subhumans is not a good idea long-term.

My only argument is that this is gender neutral. Young boys are more neurologically fragile than young girls.

The real answer is that there are too many different layers and scenarios to summarize it all in one go. Some men will lie and manipulate while maintaining a facade of normalcy. Others seem normal but have red flags (that may be ignored if they don't seem that bad on the surface). Others even are overtly terrible people.

And sons were sold for the strength in their backs. Not the ones carrying the family name or equivalent. Male children at least had that.

Girls are held to higher standards at a younger age. They're punished more than boys for the same benign behaviors. Girls also don't have the implicit leverage of being a physical threat, so they either have to shape up, or get reamed until they do.
