This is referring to western culture, such as in USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Scandinavia, these countries. It might be different in other cultures around the world.

I'm sure you have all noticed women these days act very masculine and manly. This include things like:

- being loud/confrontational/non-agreeable (traits you would more likely associate with a man)

- being career-driven and ultra competitive (again, traits that are associated with a man)

- drinking large quantities of alcohol, the level of alcohol even most grown men would struggle to drink

- eating large quantities of food, more than the level of food that is recommended for a grown man (2500kcal a day is recommended fo

We often hear in this day and age women talking about "exploring their sexuality", "discovering themselves", "learning things about themselves", phrases like that. And for the most part, they are able to do this these days, at least in the west (not sure about in other countries).

However, what about for men? Are they able to explore their sexuality and if so, how? We are living in the age of equality between the sexes, so I assume they can somehow.

Wasn't sure what flair to use so I used the free for all discussion flair.

I personally don't like social media and wish it didn't exist, but unfortunately it's become so embedded in our culture now, especially among anyone below the age of about 35, that it's almost impossible to ignore these days. It seems to be a way that you show your social status, social proof, show off your looks and your body, show to the world that you're not a weirdo. Instagram is used as a dating app by most young people, even though it's not technically advertised as a dating app. There's not just Instagram, but TikTok and others.

Even if you're not particularly good looking or don't have a lot of friends, it seems that having public social media accounts, liking and following differen

Whenever you ask this question on purplepilldebate, you get swarms of women coming in to say "they want you for your green card, they want you for your money, they don't really love you". The women on purplepilldebate mock and belittle the men who struggle with dating, but then when these men try to change their situation, the women start shaming them for it.

Anyway maybe opinion here is different and discussion can be more mature. What do you think about a man moving to a different country to find women and live a better or cheaper life? Specifically a western man moving to a 3rd world country.

I guess it depends on his ethnicity. Maybe you will do a lot better with women if you are white

Recently, I have tried offering solutions on this subreddit to the issues that get discussed, but any time I do, I am very quick to get told "that doesn't work" "X person doesn't want to do that, so it would never work" "good luck getting that to happen" and so on. Whenever you offer a solution, no one wants to take it.

Then you have the people who come here just to say "life is unfair" "life is tough" "no one owes you anything in dating" "no one is entitled to love/sex/a partner". This is another way of saying that these issues are pointless to discuss - you have to accept the harsh facts, because they can't be changed.

It begs the question - what is the actual point of discussing any of

You can't create a thread like this on purplepilldebate or other places on reddit without a number of people saying "hurrr durrr sounds like you don't want to put in the work, sounds like you're lazy, sounds like you're making excuses". Hopefully it will be different here.

For a bit of background - I have been in and out the gym over my life. I lifted solidly for 3 years, sticking to a good lifting routine, good diet, enough rest, barely missed a gym session, before real life got in the way. I then lifted again for 18 months straight. Strength and muscle comes back a lot faster, because of muscle memory. Right now I have been in the gym for 6 months and the gains have come very fast because

She has looked very beatable in many of her recent matches and has in fact lost 3 times in just over a month, to Cornet, Garcia and Haddad Maia. She was big favorite to win all those matches too. She's just getting outplayed by most opponents now. They have figured out her game and when matches are tight, Iga is spraying errors all over the place and producing many double faults.

Honestly what's happened to her? She looks a shadow of herself from earlier in the year where she was beating everyone. Same goes for Alcaraz but this thread is about Iga.

One of the the key ways that women test for men who are not just after sex is by their willingness to invest financially in her. In times gone by, when we didn't have birth control, no abortions, no internet and religion played a bigger role in society, this was a very logical thing for men to do. Men received a clear benefit in return for this, which was a loyal gf/wife and sex to go with it.

These days, it's possibly the most stupid thing a man can do and will almost certainly lead to being taken advantage of. It's now estimated that [up to 1/3 of women go on dates purely to get a free meal, with no intention of seeing the man again](https://spsp.org/news-center/press-release/foodie-calls

2 key points about online dating:

1. Men outnumber women on it. I've heard as a whole, men outnumber women by 3 to 1. For every 1 woman, there are 3 men. On Tinder, I've heard the userbase is as high as 90% male. But lets go with 3 to 1 as an overall figure.
2. High quality, attractive, mentally stable women almost never need to use online dating, because high quality attractive men are already asking them out in real life. This leaves the female userbase who are looking for dates as low quality, leftover women - these are women who men only see for sex, women who men would not want to be seen in public with, women who men would not want to introduce to their friends and family. They have t

This is a riduclous statistic. Since Marat Safin won the Australian Open in 2005, beating Federer in a 5 set epic in the semi final, just 5 different men have won the first 3 slams of the year in the last 17.5 years. They are:

- Djokovic (x18)

- Nadal (x18)

- Federer (x14)

- Murray (x2)

- Wawrinka (x2)

Other men have come close, but not been able to win. Notably Roddick 2009 Wimbledon (lost in 5 sets to Federer, 16-14 in the 5th), Cilic AO 2018 (lost in 5 sets to Federer), Thiem AO 2020 (lost in 5 sets to Djokovic, holding a 2-1 set lead), Tsitsipas RG 2021 (lost in 5 sets to Djokovic, holding a 2-0 set lead), Medvedev AO 2022 (lost in 5 sets to Nadal, holding a 2-0 set lead).

Wh

That's insane! A 22 time grand slam champion, with the determination to go for the calendar year grand slam, is an underdog against a guy who has never completed a full season on tour, who is in his first slam semi final, and who can at any moment implode mentally and completely lose it.

How is that possible? The odds right now are 1.75 for a Kyrgios win and 2.3 for a Nadal win.

Honestly during today's performance, I was so worried for her. She was not playing well at all, somehow managed to take the 1st set. Then in the 2nd set, it looked like she mentally lost it and Kerkhove took the set. Kerkhove has barely played a match on the main tour, so it was concerning to see Iga struggling this much. She managed to pull through in the end. But I'm not sure anymore. Her level just doesn't seem that high and I'm worried she's going to lose.

What do you reckon? Are you worried Iga might not win Wimbledon?
