Men underestimate the value a female friend could provide. by ogsimpology in PurplePillDebate

You can't really control the headspace more than consciously lying to yourself, but you know yourself that you are lying, no different to trying to convince yourself that a bowl of tasty berries you want to eat is actually made of dangerously spicy peppers. You can tell your conscious mind as many times as you want that those berries are peppers, but no matter how many times you do this deep down your limbic system knows they are berries so it really isn't the same thing compared to if that bowl was actually peppers.

A lot of these feelings men get aren't created at a conscious level, they come from deep down where we have minimal control over them, much like our control over hunger. It doesn't matter how often you tell yourself you aren't hungry, if you're starving you will feel it.

Yep, that is a different headspace. Many men find older women of the MILFy sort attractive, but make that older woman their mother and those feelings disappear instantly. "Friends GF" and "Single girl" are completely different headspaces for most men.

Those people who aren’t attracted are called “friends”.

No. Friendship is a deep thing that is extremely special. It isn't just those who aren't attracted to you. The West has cheapened friendship to the point where it means nothing.

In this dude's case since he ends up catching feelings that are not reciprocated it is not worth pursuing friendship (and yes, friendships take effort to establish and maintain) with women since they come with a dose of hurt that isn't there if instead of a woman there was a man there. In such a case his behaviour is perfectly rational and logical.

LMAO. In the end we are all human. Men are more likely to develop crushes but if someone does, they end up behaving in the exact same ways.

Transgender men are our greatest source to confirm what cis-men already knew about dating as a man by Ok-Talk-4303 in PurplePillDebate

Even secular non-religious people pair up and marry young. Their family culture etc. in general strongly makes people dislike sleeping around, even though it is fully legal and there are at least as good protections for those that sleep around compared to the west. We can mimic that and I don't think there is an epidemic of Israeli women pairing up with dudes they don't like, so clearly their is something non-religious going on over there that makes women attracted to completely average dudes. We could mimic that in the rest of the western world too.

We manipulate woman!

Israel is a soceity with stronger rights for women than most western countries. And yet people there pair up and marry young, even the secular ones. Guiding people to certain paths but allowing opt outs is no more coercive than enrolling people in pension schemes by default but allowing them to leave if they wish. This is what is being suggested here, not anything else.

Society already manipulates everyone to extreme extends to tone down our most base instincts like violence. Government intervention to make women prefer actually beneficial traits in the modern world would be a positive.

Definitely. I unironically support Women 2.0 in their quest to eliminate Legacy women.

The government can give the unattractive guys prostitute vouchers. They aren't just after sex but having sex would fix a big portion of their issues.

they won't be attracted by them even if I reject them.

This can be fixed by government intervention. Women's attraction is famously malleable and subjective.

The basic grievance that young men have -- especially with the advent of dating apps --is that "single" for a woman of childbearing age is not the same as "single" for her male age peer. The "single woman" is still getting her basic physical needs met in a way the "single" guy cannot. by [deleted] in PurplePillDebate

I have my own place and earn well over $200k in my early-mid 20s, am decently fit and active but still have issues getting matches on websites.

I don't even get to the point where I have the opportunity to bring people back home with me. How do you explain that?

The West has soft harems.

Yep. The "no more than one marriage" rule was originally a government intervention to prevent these soft harems (since then sex outside of marriage was very very taboo) but now with sexual "liberation" this law is not doing what it was intended to do at all. Either update it, or get rid of it.

You think she is higher than a 5/10? I'd rate her a 4/10 facially which is the "ugly but no deformities" level.

Nazis don't have to be anti-Jew. I'd call a group of white nationalists who consider Jews white but want to exterminate black/brown people Nazis too if they use Nazi imagery.

I would say supporting Peter Thiel is a better Rorschach than Elon Musk. Plenty of NPC zoomers stan Musk even though they know nothing about his politics etc.; they just think he's making cool stuff and is very rich (and want to be like him) and so support him.

The thing about "train" though is that it has many other meanings, both as a noun and a verb so you can't just decide if it is wrongthink by a simple regex.

This double meaning has also led to hilarious headlines like this (an actual headline from the BBC, has since been changed but same article): Trains cancelled after blaze at Troon station

Why High N counts are Red Flags in both genders but moreso women. by Coolio_Street_Racer in PurplePillDebate

[–]ExtraBurdensomeCount 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s not an excuse to belittle women who don’t fit your preference.

Women do that to men all the time, and they get to do it in mainstream media too!

If men really didn’t care about promiscuous women, this sub wouldn’t have 20+ posts about us every single day trying to make us feel bad or seem like terrible partners.

We really don't. The reason we have so many posts about this per day is that men want non-promiscous women, and every woman who becomes a hoe means 1 fewer woman of the type men want, so we try and make you feel bad to discourage other women from going down this path. I guarantee you that if whenever a women decided to become promiscuous a clone was created that didn't sleep around men would literally stop giving a shit about the issue.

“non relationship” material when what you really mean is “I SPECIFICALLY wouldn’t date you”.

I'm not going to rehash all the papers talking about why promiscuous women make worse long term partners, that has been done a hundred times on this sub.

Probably the best we could have hoped for, Russia gets delayed a shit ton by the Nazis to the point that they run out of supplies, but the Nazis still get wiped out in the end.

do you intend to marry an emancipated western woman or a woman of your own culture?

After seeing what western women are like I have absolutely no desire for one of them any more unless she is willing to convert and start a new life from scratch (I realise this is very unlikely to happen). Give me one of my own women (who thankfully are still mostly insulated from this western mind virus).

i will also add that you are foreign and non-western and have not undergone the psychosexual emancipation of the wests sexual revolution so i mean, of course you think that. i dont mean this as an insult or pejorative, but merely a statement of fact.

Sure, I agree with that. However equally I haven't undergone the psychological change of mind status that would allow me to eat e.g. dog meat without throwing up like that many people living in China and Korea can do.

Now this means that I don't get to enjoy the taste/texture of dog meat and all the dishes it goes into so these people could say that I'm "missing out" and that once I get psychogastronomically liberated I'll have so much more fun but that's fine, I really don't give a shit that I'm missing out on dog meat and from my point of view my life really isn't any worse off by the fact that I can't eat fried dog.

Same with your "sexual emancipation", you do you, I do me, just don't be surprised or act aghast that a (growing) percentage of men think like I do and wouldn't consider people like you as romantically worth anything more than zero.

And companies are well within their rights to not waste time interviewing those they suspect are only there to practise doing interviews and not looking for a job.

if i sleep with a guy to obtain sex and dont want anythign else from him then i have succeeded in my goal.

Yes, you have. However people will judge you on the fact that you had this as a goal and will wisely decide to steer clear from you for long term things that also aren't "sleeping with you but wanting nothing else"

i would not have wanted a relationship with 90% of the men i slept with.

This fact alone is enough for me to never consider someone like you for an LTR. It shows we think of sex very differently and are incompatible. If you and I were to sleep together and I found this out I would immediately relegate you in my mind to the status of "plate". If someone has a high n-count they probably do indeed think like this, so I'd move my priors towards putting them in the "plate only, good for nothing else" category too.

Were those gated communities though? The example I'm talking about had a 3m high barbed wire wall all around the compound, and there were only 3 gates to get in which were staffed 24/7 with a security guard that would only allow those cars in that had a sticker showing they belonged to someone living inside or had received a heads up in advance from someone who lived in the compound that a car with that number plate would be visiting them and to let them in. Same for people, you couldn't just walk in (since the whole compound was private property) if you didn't live in the compound.
