5	Men Lie About Their Politics Because They Know Their Ideology Is a Losing One This may be true for the more politically right-wing men who live in blue areas, but in the more red "bible belt" suburb/rural areas, there are many conservative women who don't hold those values. I think it's definitely most wise to share values than try to hide them if you are going for a committed relationship (which I presume many of these men are more interested in the casual hookup side). When it comes to the red pill, my understanding is that the 6-foot-6-figures-6-pack rule is more so ab…	/r/PurplePillDebate	22/08/26 07:19 PM
1	"Don't make dating/relationship your goal" is the worst advice possible I think being worried about "not being allowed to think this way" comes out of a high worry of how others perceive you, which can set one back. The men who just don't give af are going to be the go-getters and succeed more at getting what they want. That actually might in part explain why the "bad boy" archetype is more successful, they aren't held back by this worry. One of the commonly cited attraction points for women I hear is, "He knows what he wants."	/r/PurplePillDebate	14/08/26 04:10 PM
3	"Don't make dating/relationship your goal" is the worst advice possible I think a big issue is that forming relationships isn't something that happens systemically like applying for a job or buying a car, the pieces have to fall into place circumstantially. You don't have as much control over it since someone has to voluntarily agree to commit to you for complicated emotional reasons. It's not just a straightforward transaction of "I give you this and you give me that" in which you are ensured it upon having that thing, like having the money will ensure you will get…	/r/PurplePillDebate	14/08/26 01:15 AM
1	"The ick" is an excellent example of how modern women encourage narcissistic self glorification among each other I've heard an interesting theory that the "ick" is a response to the risks in mate choice. These are emotions that enhance some risk aversion to the possible acceptance of an incompatible mate. Now, you might say, "but that's not rational, you could have many false negatives (rejecting potentially compatible mates over silly reasons)". True, but the cost of a false negative may be significantly lower than the cost of a false positive (accepting an incompatible partner). Being risk averse can ser…	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/08/26 05:45 PM
1	Heteronormative dating is what's making you all miserable I think a lot of the frustration is born out of the fact that there has been a shift where people are getting into committed relationships and marrying later in life. Women have more career opportunities than before, they go to school and prioritize single life for longer. This means more young men are without partners and some get bitter and angry in their loneliness, the internet giving a space for those vents to happen in affirming spaces. I would add that on the woman's side, now that they h…	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/08/26 02:35 AM
1	Paying for women on the First Dates is and has been for a very long time... Dumb. That men feel affirmation in presenting masculine? Oh please inform me further.	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/08/26 11:00 PM
4	Paying for women on the First Dates is and has been for a very long time... Dumb. I think the reason for this expectation being the norm is because it is mutually beneficial to the current gender dynamics, women benefit from men's generosity, and men feel affirmed of their masculinity by providing for the woman. As long as this remains beneficial to the dynamic, it will continue.	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/08/26 06:23 PM
1	Red pill failed men It's hard to say to what extent red pill is a "failure" I think because: Engagement on social media is heavily skewed towards rhetoric of grievance and venting (it's appealing to blame other people for your problems), so that can be overrepresented (appear bigger than it really is). Changing people's lives for the better might just be a very difficult thing to do in general. I remember when Dr. Mike on YouTube (who is considered a very positive voice in more 'blue pill' spaces) said he used to t…	/r/PurplePillDebate	25/07/26 10:49 PM
3	Genuine question for feminists I think if feminists had their way, the selective service system wouldn't exist anymore, and this wouldn't be a problem. But of course, old habits die hard and conservatives with more traditionalist views of gender (who are the other half of the American political system and currently in charge right now) are vocally opposed to adding women to selective service for the sake of equality (Ted Cruz for example). This in combination with the fact that there probably isn't much willpower to change it…	/r/PurplePillDebate	25/07/26 10:24 PM
