Youtube, reddit and tiktok are not real life. At all. Women wanted and want equality for freedom and choice, for cerebral equality. I give my husband expensive gifts on occasion as he does me, this is how it works in most modern relationships.

I don't care about virginity, I cared about casual sex. I am already married. My husband had a serious relationship before me and he felt the same way.
/r/PurplePillDebate10/10/24 03:21 PM

It has nothing to do with 'icky', it has to do with what I value and want in a partner. I do not need to back it up, it is my choice. I was someone who takes this type of stuff as seriously as I do, that's all. To sleep with lots of people and then change their mind shows a level of levity I never wanted in a partner. I have no judgement on what other people want to do. But for me I wanted a serious man who took the things I take seriously seriously. Why is it sad about my choices of what I want…
/r/PurplePillDebate10/10/24 03:20 PM

I would not want that person as my partner. That would denote quite a few things I wouldn't want in my lifepartner. I wouldn't want a life partner who treated sexual intimacy in such a way. I am not judging those who do but it is just not for me.
/r/PurplePillDebate10/10/24 03:07 PM

I mean I love sex but I see it as something that is the most intimate thing you can do with another person and I'd rather have that with the person I'm going to spend my life with. And I wanted my life partner to see it the same way

Do you want any woman or the right woman? Because there are lots of women who very much like gym going IT types and they (we) tend not to be keen on overly macho or tattoos! Are you in shape? Quietly confident? Groomed? Do you dress like an adult? And where are you going to meet women? Source:am married to a scientist who lifts weights.

If my husband, who I have been with for 15 years and devoted my life to, asked me for a paternity test that would mean he thinks I am capable of cheating on him and lying about it. It would mean he did not know me at all and the relationship would be forever broken.

What about the trauma these young people will have to face losing their parents so early? The disruption to their lives and the emotional turmoil. The adult life WITHOUT that parental support? That wedding day without Dad to walk you down the aisle or no grandparent seeing their first grandchild? No guidance as you start your career or relationships? What if the grandparent are already dead? This is very likely if the parents are in their 50's I fully disagree. Far better to have two living, hea…

So why should the child be burdened with such a lot in life?

The child didn't
/r/PurplePillDebate25/09/24 09:06 AM
17

The options are elderly parents by the time you are 16 or dead parents. Neither are good for the kid.
/r/PurplePillDebate25/09/24 08:26 AM
21

A child born to someone in their 50s will either be: a. burdened with elderly parents and b. Have to deal with very early parental death. Anyone who is ok doing that to a child should not be a parent. So in answer to your statement, yes there is something wrong with it. That anecdote has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

Anyone having children in their 50's are selfish arses who do not care about the children they are creating. Also that sperm logic is awful. Even the best sperm will be degraded.

Shower whilst husband cooks. Do some chores. Eat at 8pm then chill with husband until 10.30. Go to bed.

After work, gym, cooking, eating and spending quality time with my partner I do not have the time to game 2 hours daily. I like gaming (have been this morning) but I reserve it for a few hours on a Saturday OR sunday.

As I said...I game myself. I see no issue with it. I see the issue with the 2 hours a day. Edit: i would also have an issue with going to bed alone.

For myself - i simply don't want to. I have a wonderfully happy life with my husband, an interesting career, travel. I have zero desire to give birth, clean up bottoms or vomit. I also had to be very responsible very young due to parental death which has contributed.

I do. I have been with my husband for over 15 years and we are still excited, happy and are each others favourite person. But we live our lives together - his successes are mine and mine are his, we have quality time together, shared hobbies. We go out with friends separately but our live is a joined one. And we prioritise it above everything. We are also honest to the point of bluntness, no hints. No memory reading. The ones that separate tend to let things slip and live separate lives. Or they…

My husband and I waited as i wanted to build our emotional relationship first and I consider sexual intimacy something I only wanted with someone I was in love with and spending my life with. He luckily had similar views regarding that. I'm English with Irish heritage. No religion. My parents had the opposite view on sex to me.

He would have to have a personality transplant to do that lol. The kitchen is HIS territory and he would not want me to make him one. Plus...'told'?

We have a housekeeper as we both are not keen on housework and work long hours. He loves to cook and is excellent at it so he takes care of the food side of things whilst I handle laundry. However a housekeeper is a luxury, not everyone can afford this.

Yes I do, especially in education. I have been reading Caitlain Moran's book 'What about men?' and it is so interesting to read. A large part of it is how boys and girls develop at different speeds. The age of learning to write and read is great for girls but not for boys, boys need another year. And by forcing boys to learn to read and write when they are unable you are instilling a dislike for reading and writing at that early age which then leads to boys not reading for pleasure or enjoying h…

Having a normal, menial job does wonders for both your character and work experience. You learn so much that you won't otherwise. It's not the money, it's what else you gain. And the work ethic you gain is priceless too. I hire graduates, anyone without work experience before the age of 21 will not be hired, the amount of basic teaching and babysitting you have to do is ridiculous.

Typo. Meant to say 'walked' Did you not have friends that you played out with? Or spent summer holidays playing and having adventures with? That's quite extreme.

My grandmother worked and was married with children. It was very rare for women not to work unless you were wealthy.

You think you only have the opinions of your parents? There will always be childfree people as not everyone wants kids. 1/4 currently and the number is growing.
/r/PurplePillDebate14/06/24 01:18 PM

Because they want to be parents. They want offspring. I don't but I understand others do.

Well you are speaking from an entirely different hymn sheet from my husband and I. We are childfree and happily married. We married because we loved each other and wanted to be each other family. If he only wanted to marry me to have children then I would view him very, very differently.

You can have a family without children. I'm childfree and know many childfree people (older and younger), very few regret it. On the other hand I know at least 3 sets of parents who regret having kids. I always think it is far better to be childfree and have a chance of regretting it than force a child to be regretted

Because they are not equal things and what you are suggesting is a super fast track to a dead bedroom. If you make sex an obligation or a responsibility then the romance, the fun, the joy goes out of it, it simply becomes another chore.

I'm a woman who is friends with women. I have 6 sisters in law. I know how women use make up. And none of us are changing our faces, we are simply enhancing them. Some of wear it rarely ( myself and my eldest sister in law) and some daily. I'm being very honest.
/r/PurplePillDebate10/04/24 09:40 AM

It doesn't, it enhances what you look like. You cannot hide acne with everyday make up and scar disguising something else entirely. And ugliness? What do you mean by this? It's very ambiguous. Foundation and mascara will not turn an ugly.sister into Cinderella

Attractiveness has nothing to do with it. Women pay for themselves now and have done for a long time. Perhaps it's an American thing? I don't know a single woman who expects to be paid for and certainly wouldn't allow the man to pay for them, that can lead to awkward expectations.

This analogy doesn't work. Jobs and money are not attracted to you. They don't come to you by virtue of being attractive and interesting. For me, yes it did happen.. I was single and had become content and happy just by myself with friends, hobbies and work. Then I met the man I am now married to. As I was not searching for a relationship I was completely and utterly myself which made him like me rather a lot.

I do not 'take' any resources. In the situation where we had children my husband (who would be the father) would be raising said child WITH me. You want marriage to be a prison? If my husband (not that he ever would) committed infidelity or became abusive then I would want the ability to leave.

One of my grandmothers was a chemist. She didn't marry until her late 20s. She also trained as a bookkeeper and kept books for a large number of farms in a rural area. She married because she chose to, she could have supported herself and did until she married my grandad. All of her peers worked before marriage. She would not have 'been homeless without a man' and nor would her peers.

I'm talking about the choices pre-marriage. A woman could be employed, be trained in a number of professions that would enable her to be viably employed and support herself. This is directly the experience of both of my grandmothers. They were also both paid in sterling for their respective jobs at the time. My point is that you didn't need to marry to avoid homelessness at the time.

I am a brilliant partner for the right partner. I am supportive, kind and tough. I will support my husband through anything and everything but will not put up with any self-pity or whining. I am fun, pretty and clever. I am very financially literate and prioritise financial stability above everything with the exception of the happiness of my partner. I am also difficult, critical and enjoy a good bicker. I also expect as much from my partner as I give. Luckily I have a husband who loves all of m…

Agreed. All the married men I know (including my own husband) are good, supportive partners who do their share and more. We're childfree but the dads we know are great dads too. As is my own divorced father.

That has absolutely nothing to do with your weird response about a uterus. I am English with an English degree. There is a difference between female and feminine. You are saying women wearing short shorts makes it a feminine piece of clothing. This is incorrect. And has nothing to do with your comment about a uterus. Edited: removed retaliatory remark as that was beneath me.

Submissive and feminine are not synonyms. You can be feminine with a mind of your own, with a back bone, with a career. Short shorts are not feminine. Ladylike women tend not to wear short shorts Why is like toys feminine?

I'm not telling anyone to do anything. I am responding to your very wrong assertion about birth control. I am not 'promoting' anything (as is clear from my post above), I have not interest in that. All medical procedures have risks. All protection has risks (even condoms). I am a happily married woman who is correcting the very wrong information you have written. Don't know what 'post-wall' is? Do you mean I'm old? Or unattractive? Lol. P.S well done on the ability to google.

They don't have to be. They shouldn't be. But having children is a choice, it is not something anyone has to do. Want to be a parent? Great! I hope the husband you choose and spend years with before babies (hopefully) is an equal parent and an equal partner. But it is not something we have to do. If a man chooses to be a Dad then he should be an equal parent. If a man chooses to be a partner he should be an equal partner.

There are plenty of men who don't want kids. They are not rare. And they are not 'low value' (not sure what you mean by this - the childfree men I know are all attractive, career minded chaps). There are more childfree men than women. A copper coil is perfectly fine, it has no hormonal effect on the body at all.

The right partner will increase your self-esteem. They will go out of their way to make you feel proud of being you. But the 'treating like a king/queen' is rubbish. If my husband is being an arse I will tell him, I am a huge proponent of tough love and honesty. But to do so with kindness.
