Even if a woman has OF/camming that doesn’t mean there isn’t someone else taking a cut of the earnings. There was a high profile case of some fitness influencer guy trying to do that a few years ago and it blew up in his face. The women are the talent and they can choose to leave or manage it by themselves if they think they're getting fleeced. If any men are getting a cut, it's usually the male talent they're collabing with or their long term partners they run the account with. so I’m doubtful …

There's always going to be a seedy underside to porn because a lot of material is made and hosted in foreign countries with lax laws. But the mainstream stuff (and its consumers) is much less violent across the board than it was 10 years ago. Pornhub releases annual statistics showing what types of porn its user base is consuming to back up this claim (unsurprisingly, the rougher stuff is more popular with women porn users) On the issue of consent, pretty much every PornHub actress working today…

I did and the studies it linked. Apart from the most relevant of the studies being more than a decade old, it confuses correlation with causation. The studies say "associated with" not cause.

Nothing. Like I said, there are valid reasons to not like it. But similar to the DARE drug campaign, the fear-mongering and misrepresentation robs the anti-porn crowd of a lot of credibility.

I don't see any hard stats saying violent porn is more common than non-violent porn. I mean, there are valid reasons not to like porn, but if your man (real or hypothetical) just watched the non-violent stuff, you'd probably still have a problem with it. ...so it's not about the violence.
/r/PurplePillDebate12/02/24 04:57 PM

what i meant is, women aren't made more violent and radicalized due to more internet usage. at least not at the rate men are Let's take violence out of the equation (because testosterone is probably the deciding factor on that). Radicalization? Hard disagree. Maybe in South Korea but every available metric points to Gen Z women being far more radical. It's just seen as ontologically good because said radicalization is happening in the leftward direction.

Oh I'm not strawmanning. This was your comment: They want us to act in a way we genuinely don’t feel. Who's "we"? Do you want to maybe add a qualifier to make it align more with "biological reality" of women not being a monolith?
/r/PurplePillDebate07/02/24 08:59 PM

Cool... so the biological reality is that women occupy a wide range of sociosexual spectrum. Some need a bit of coaxing and convincing to be attracted, some definitely do not and do experience visceral attraction if the guy is hot enough. I just find it funny how despite this biological reality, you all sync up and be like "of course us women need a bit more to be attracted..." Well, it's not all of you. And if the mere mention of that offends you, then you probably have a lot invested in the co…

If the fear is irrational or, in your case misplaced, then expect to be questioned about it. no one should be policing what other people are allowed to be afraid of. Who's policing? Are therapists policing their patients when treating phobias (in the classic definition, an irrational fear of something)?
/r/PurplePillDebate06/02/24 11:46 PM

Nope, I think you're way overanalyzing it. It's just situational irony. Women who don't want to be sexualized get mad when an AI sexualizes them without their consent. Vs Women who already sexualize themselves getting mad when an AI does the opposite of sexualizing them without their consent. I probably won't change you mind if you have an overarching lens for how you see gender relations.

I actually don't understand him going nuclear but I'm also saying this as a masochist who's spends too much time on this sub and TwoX. If you're a man in a relationship with a woman, expect her to believe there's a chance (however small) she thinks you could turn into a psycho at some point. Just comes with the territory so why try to argue it? Really, expecting complete trust out of a partner is about as unrealistic as expecting unconditional love from a partner.

If I found one, I probably wouldn't bring it up to avoid the argument. But if it slipped say, during an evacuation for a natural disaster, I do wonder if it would start a fight, since a go bag is supposed to be kept secret to give you that peace of mind (supposedly).

AITAH having a field day with the go bag post which got me thinking... Would it be a betrayal of trust for male partners to know their female partners had go bags and not tell them they knew? If a "go bag" is intentionally meant to be hidden from the partner, and said potential (abusive) partner finds a go bag so that it could potentially no longer be useful in an emergency situation, then it kind of defeats the purpose of a go bag, yes?

Obviously.. why is this a surprise or even something that anyone is unhappy about? You've never heard a woman say they want a guy with "potential"? you know what this person is a fucking mess but maybe in a few years they'll be approaching normal Yeah, that's not what happens IRL. No one, not even men, acknowledges from the start the mess of a person they're dating is a mess. Physical attraction comes first, and then any shortcomings/flaws/red flags are rationalized under "having potential".

Good god.

Let me repeat what I said earlier since you seem insistent on misrepresenting me: First of all, I never said women aren't (ever) blamed for sexual assault and rape, so please don't misrepresent me. Secondly my disagreement was with the "all men blame women for rape and SA" and using the Brock Turner case as flimsy supporting evidence to that statement. Are we on the same page with where the disagreement is or are you going to keep misrepresenting my argument?

Gotcha. Either of those questions will probably get me banned (the first for race-baiting and the second for perceived trolling) but in an far-fetched attempt to cure you of your unhealthy paranoia of men?

What are you going to do, post Nope, it was going to be more neutral, like "What do you think of the Brock Turner case?" with maybe a few links to articles to jog someone's memory.

I mean, I can pose this question to men in the daily chat and quite easily disprove this. I'd also be willing to pose this same question to men in other communities if you want a larger sample size... The Brock Turner case is one of the most clear cut cases of rape in recent memory. To say the victim was at fault is a fringe opinion that I have never heard anyone say in a mainstream sub whenever the case is brought up. All of this should be good news to you, I don't get the resistance.
/r/PurplePillDebate26/01/24 06:56 PM

Odd to use the Brock Turner case because the general public is very much not on his side. It's even a meme to be like, "Oh Brock Turner, you mean Brock 'The Rapist' Turner," "Yes Brock Turner, The Rapist"...and this is years later. If you have to scour the interwebs to find an opinion blaming the victim, it isn't a widespread opinion. I always thought the controversy was more over how light he got off because his rich daddy paid for a good lawyer, but that then becomes a classism issue.

In the man's case the casual woman is placed lower than the marriageable woman. Wouldn't this also be the case with the genders flipped?

I don't think the hypocrisy is necessarily inherent. Pretty much every one of the women I've had casual sex with were attractive enough to date long term as well.

It should come as no surprise that the majority of "catcalling" sits in a grey zone of plausible deniability.

Believing your own worth is simply saying "this is what I expect in a relationship. These are my boundaries. This is what I want."

Toxic buzz phrases that get misapplied/misused but they get little to no pushback because they surface-level appear empowering and ego-boosting. Two good examples would be the phrases, "If he wanted to, he would," and "a man needs to be obsessed with me [from the start]". I'd also add misuse/misappropriation of therapy terms. You and your partner have a disagreement over how something happened? He's gaslighting you and you need to break up with him.

I wouldn't say far less likely, but here are the stats: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10193819/ For pregnant women and women who were recently pregnant (<1 year) the mortality rate for car crashes is 5.9 per 100,000. For homicides, it's 5.3 per 100,000. So homicides are #3 for non-obstetric causes of death (after drug poisoning and car accidents) and #4 when including obstetric causes of death. Overall, a woman is 6 times as likely to die from causes directly related to her pregna…

It should come as no surprise the #1 risk to pregnant women is the health complications that come with being pregnant. Now, to get into non-pregnancy associated deaths: Drug poisoning at 12.2 in 100,000. Motor vehicle collisions at 5.9 in 100,000. And finally... Homicide at 5.3 in 100,000.

In terms of how I see the word used, demisexuality only seems to exist as a virtue signal for how "non-superficial" they (usually women) are. It's prevalence in women is also becoming increasingly irrelevant, as less and less couples are meeting in ways that are conducive to demisexual attraction.

In states with strict labor laws, you could get written up by your employer as a CYA/paper trail measure. Employers can be sued or fined if they are accused of not letting employees have their mandatory breaks, so the write up is proof of "Well I told her to go on break! She just didn't want to!"

Given all this, why is this a major issue now compared to previous decades or centuries? Historically, these "leftover men" were either killed off in wars, segregated away from society in temples/churches as monks/priests, or had their balls forcibly chopped off to serve as eunuchs.

I will say as someone who has employed fuckboy tactics in the past, women should not be trusting the spark. All I did was pretend to be interested, have a little playful banter, and that was usually enough for a makeout and occasional lay. The only "hard" part is finding out if she's physically attracted to you, because no amount of rizz is going to override that. The rest can be faked with enough charisma, humor, and social intelligence.

I will say that women do bear a lot of risk in dating when it comes to physical safety. The problem is the exchange of TEA (time, energy, and attention) is not very equitable in the early courtship phase, and women's perfectly valid physical safety concerns are often used as a Trump card to minimize any request for more equitable TEA exchanges. I don't think most men are asking for 50/50 right out the gate. I'm fine with a little more pursuit, a little wooing, and a little more TEA on my end. Bu…

I do think the situation for the below average guy (in terms of looks, height, and sociability) is worse than ever before. One strike in any of those three and you're out.

I live in a big city and it's not all sunshine and rainbows. In order to start seeing any dividends to your sexual/romantic life, you need a friend group that is: Mixed gender Relatively extroverted Has enough disposable income to be able to go out to events Not overwhelmed with work or school Not settled down or trying to settle down Within 20 minutes of travel from you With added bonuses the larger and more attractive that group is. And that's ignoring any major disqualifiers like being ND, sh…

It doesn't make them look bad, it actually makes them look more empathetic to out-groups than men. That's some god-tier mental gymnastics. They were asked which gender they prefer as a boss. Men OR women. The question posed is necessarily zero-sum, and cannot be "inclusive" to both genders. I just noticed it doesn't match up to observations of how men treat female bosses You mean your observations. If we're going to argue differing life experiences, we've hit a brick wall.

Because it's the internet and you can always find people that try to shit on you no matter how you decide to broadcast your life. There was TikTok drama around a single man showcasing his life about a month ago. No gender-war bullshit, no "I'm single because modern women are trash", it wasn't even narrated. Just a regular dude working a 9-5, going home, playing with his dog, making his dinner, watching some TV, and going to bed. Yeah, he got shit on.

It makes sense, but I think for another big reason: the extremely high mortality rate for sexually mature early humans, both men and women. A woman could be with a man for a few years, have his kid, and then he dies suddenly due to exposure or being gored by a wooly mammoth. Or a man could get with a woman, only to have her die within a year giving birth to his first child. With how dangerous the environment early humans lived in, it makes sense to evolve the ability to form new pair bonds to ke…

Cultures and religions impose rules on us, such as monogamy, which discourage the constant combat of feral humans. This was necessary for humans to transition from small nomadic tribes to civilizations with cities. The opposite is thought to have been the case. Cultures and civilizations arose due to farming, which caused class stratification and resource hoarding, which then gave rise to warfare (war brides) and polygamy. Culturally enforced monogamy from Judeo-Christian religions has been a re…

For larger women, this usually doesn’t apply, because unless you're getting catfished, it's pretty apparent. Just don't swipe on them and move on with your life.

Who is riling men up? Is it not other men? True, it is other men. But it's also other women. Not all women of course but a growing minority of them. I've never come across women judging men as harshly online as blackpill folks. I have. They are quite common on the "dark feminine" sides of social media.

(as you said) it implies men are disposable and replaceable (they aren’t) We are, and I don't even have to look very hard to find women expressing the same sentiment. it implies men need to be reminded that they don’t “own” women (most men are rational people who don’t need to be reminded about this in 2023, thank goodness) That's a very narrow interpretation of the word "own."

Mating within a lion pride is a strange mix between a hippie commie's wet dream and the fundamentalist LDS church. Everybody fucks everybody, and the male lions are stay at home dads while the girl boss lionesses go out and hunt. To prevent inbreeding, juvenile male lions are kicked out of the pride while the older males are bigger and stronger. Assuming they survive the juvenile stage, they will fight an older, weaker male lion in a different pride and take his spot, where they can then mate.

But what does it matter if the women is being realistic to a man, or anyone? Because delusion and not taking accountability often go hand in hand. Both stem from a mixture of lack of introspection and narcissistic egoism. If you fail to achieve your delusions, the last person you are going to blame is yourself. You have to find some "boogeyman" or scape goat to blame your failure on, and social media gives you a loudspeaker to air all your grievances. And this applies to both men and women.

Modern rad-feminism is indirect eugenics that affects women as well. The caveat being that it makes women "opting out" uniquely feel empowered as a cope for low intelligence and poor decision making. Give it like 10 generations and all the "marriage is a prison for women,"/female anti-natalists will have died out. It's a much more gender equitable form of eugenics than the "war brides" of old times. I don't see any of this as a bad thing in the long run.

For any man triggered over this comment, remember the biggest privilege you have over women is time. Time can be an equitable trade for your attention and energy, so long as it's not too unbalanced. You still have the ability to promise long term commitment and children until she turns 35 or gets frustrated, then bounce for any reason, making her have to start the mating process all over again. Use that power and leverage according to your own discretion and morals.

It's mainly about cost at this point. Nuclear plants cost in excess of $10 billion to build, and that's for the PWR, uranium fuel designs, the same type we've been using since the 50s. For an untested design, like molten salt thorium, that's going to be even more expensive.

Nah I find that very hard to believe. Women always got options. So it's very unlikely that they are above 25 a virgin.

A minority demographic increasing in size can still be a minority.

The more attractive a guy is, the more likely he is going to "box" women based on personality/lifestyle traits.

Constantly invite me to stuff, and introduce you to other girls as well, which makes the whole dating things like 10x easier These benefits only exist if they're pretty extroverted. Attractive (least important), unpartnered, and extroverted (most important) is the holy trifecta of social utility when it comes to platonic female friendships, but it's hard to find a woman with all three.

Primarily because there's no risk of gay men being attracted to them (obviously). Secondarily because women can talk about their sex lives without being judged.

Let's call a spade a spade: women also prefer friendships with other women. You think we don't notice how women choose to spend their free time? Girls' night outs? Ladies only brunches? We know you want time to yourselves where you can openly discuss certain topics without having a man around to "ruin the vibe". Not saying it's bad btw, since men do the same.

Why is any of that bad for women? Why is it bad for men when people like Andrew Tate have a platform to spew their bullshit? Or FreshNFit? Or any other content creator who preaches "women are trash"? They're two sides of the same coin. If men can complain, why shouldn’t we? It's not an issue of "can", it's an issue of "should". You don't think I would also be in favor of "women are trash" content dying too?

And who is to decide what’s realistic? Men — so what the issue ? I have been giving boilerplate, gender-neutral dating advice for the past five years. Stuff like: Stop chasing the elusive "spark". It's a fleeting feeling and can be easily faked. Love shouldn't always feel easy. It requires work and intentionality for both parties. Stop idealizing what your future partner looks like or how he/she makes you feel. If you have experienced repeated instances of misbehavior in relationships, then you …

If women are wrong, they will settle or just be alone. No, they won't "just" do those things. For the ones that will end up alone, they'll complain to anyone who will listen (on social media, usually) on their way out about what's "wrong with men" because they were aiming too high. A critical mass of women complaining about "all men" erodes trust between genders. Trust is becoming a scarce resource and is necessary for a functional dating environment.

Hormonal birth control for men just isn't possible. The only hormone that controls spermatogenesis post-puberty is Testosterone, and it's orders of magnitude higher concentrations in our blood than any of the "female" (in quotes because I know men have estrogen too) sex hormones. Testosterone is measured in the nanograms/dL; Estrogen in the picograms/dL. In fact even women have higher Testosterone levels in their own body than they do Estrogen.

What Peterson says mostly makes sense, if, and only if, a woman wants children someday. If a woman does not want children, she is probably (maybe subconsciously) going to value things like income and competency, both long term indicators of reproductive success, less.

I think the fact that it feels like he chose her over me is what makes his "value" lower to me. I sympathize with him.

Because sex is a major component in wanting a relationship, but it's not mutually exclusive to "the other things couples do together that is awesome." There's "willing to get into a relationship" because they do actually want a relationship (+ the sex that comes with it), and then there's "willing to get into a relationship" because they only want the steady supply of sex.

The majority of women aren't on dating apps because the majority of women are in relationships (and yes, I know partnered men make up a disproportionate # of male users).

I don't think you could ever get women to fully quit online dating. The sheer number of options, the attention/validation, it's just taps into a desire that you can find a more "perfect" partner than would be currently available in your current social circle.

I also said looks, don't forget that. Social intelligence is another big one but doesn't apply to online settings. If your "myriad of other ways" to be attractive includes qualities that can only be determined after a relationship has been established, they only matter insofar as maintaining and enriching the current relationship. Which, as I said before, are important, but mean jack shit if a guy is struggling to attract women in the first place.

What this "preserving of peace" practically looks like is just a higher "down payment" on the part of men in the form of looks, lifestyle/wealth, and status.

Because there are behavioral sex differences and because women (on average) make different life choices that is inadequately causatively explained by being indoctrinated/socialized in a "patriarchal system".

I honestly just tune way the fuck out whenever I hear the word patriarchy. None of the people using it can seem to agree what exactly it is, how we know when we're no longer in it, or how we parse sex differences in behavior from societal pressures.

Except the Barbies and Barbieland are "gender conscious" by the end of the movie (unlike the time period/society when women were first allowed to be judges) so the metaphor doesn't work. So the Barbies go through their analogous fight against patriarchy, win, realize gender equality is good and virtuous, and then proceed to... not practice gender equality.

and create a more equal and balanced political landscape which would eventually lead to a 50/50 Supreme Court. Be honest. You don't mean equal, you mean equitable. Because there's no way to get to 50/50 gender equality in positions of power without heavily putting your finger on one side of the scale.

I just love how people are overly sensitive to subversive messaging and dog-whistling, but the moment you point it out on their side they retreat behind, "well, it's just fiction, don't take it too seriously." Early James Bond films were not patriarchal or misogynistic in any way, CMV.

Regarding the Supreme Court comment in the movie, and your follow up response: No, that takes 200 years, as it did in real life. Was the slow progression of women's equal rights a morally good thing or a morally bad thing? And if it's morally bad for women to have had to fight so long to achieve equality, why is it no longer morally bad to reverse it and do to men what men did to women?

My movement? Try not to take things too literally. It's a criticism I have of the movie and modern feminist movement. Explain the difference. Sure. Equality refers to treating everyone the same and providing equal opportunities and treatment, usually acknowledging that equal outcomes are not realistic or achievable. Equity involves distributing (or redistributing) resources or opportunities to achieve "fairness" through equal outcomes.

Oh… so like it was for 200 years, but an all female Supreme Court for 1 hour and 54 minutes was just… too much for men? The Supreme Court was established in 1790. It was entirely male for 200 years, until O’Conner was appointed in 1981. Two wrongs make a right I guess. Stop preaching your movement is about gender equality, when we all know what you mean is equity.

I'd say case by case. Some higher sociosexual women know the rules in that they know they can get a much hotter guy for a hookup than a relationship and are fine with that for just a dick appointment. Less sociosexual women might still have casual sex but it's more situational, like after a breakup. I don't think the attractiveness standards for LTRs vs casual sex differ very much for women in this group.

No, the problem with truerateme is that it demands decile ratings based on a strict gaussian distribution. Meaning the likelihood of an 8 existing (top 0.134%) is almost exponentially lower than a 7 (top 2.5%). And a 7 is exponentially lower than an 6 (top 15%). And so on and so forth. This is where most of the confusion about that subs ratings stem from, but I personally think their rating system is stupid.

Average isn't polarizing. Average is average. Average guys fall into category 3 without much deviance. If they're lucky and meet the right girl, maybe they'll be in in category 2. But unlikely they will ever see themselves in category 1 on looks alone. Polarization is a good thing though and more attractive men tend to have more polarizing faces.

If you’re framing your problems with dating as an issue with women rather than an issue with yourself then you’ve moved the focus to something you have no control over and removed any impetus to change your situation. The additional frame would be discontents/criticisms of men. So there's three you can have and they aren't even mutually exclusive.

Lots of incorrect assumptions about me. I'll try to address each one individually: As a man you see your challenges and pain as more real, more tangible, more important since you neither care nor can remotely relate to a woman’s challenges. Nope, it's not that at all. Men have privileges and obstacles that are unique to them, just like women. Recognizing an obstacle doesn't exist for women the same as it does to men does not "invalidate" the other obstacles that I can see women have, clear as da…

More men will approach because that is assumed by men, so there will always be a lot of men that will indiscriminately approach every woman they see. The men she wan't does not want her, and it's because of the same reasons as why some men are unattractive to most women. So she lacks "girl game" and/or is aiming out of her league. Skill issue on her part, tbh.

There are studies that show women ,just like men, have been affected by the change in scenery.

When it's someone you're close to, it's hard to wait until they get to that point. I tried nudging saying I had concerns about health, backed up by a genetic test and family history that puts this person at greater risk of diabetes. Nope. To him, I was making fun of him and ignoring all the other compounding issues in his life that was making him obese. If I told him "calories in, calories out" he'd probably think it was insulting as he is actually a pretty intelligent and well read person.

Some dated, most ditched. Pretty much all ONS's ditched. I stopped asking after my second ONS when I figured out all these girls were probably just not looking for anything serious themselves.

I love how this post has brought out all the objectivity in how women rate men's attractiveness. Like women will admit to having very wide disagreements with their friends about which guy or what type of guy they think is attractive, and the other girls "just don't see it". We can't talk about this though because high variability in women's looks preferences would mean women are partially to blame for men's over-perception bias.

Let me jog your memory: That just shifts it to "means to support herself well" to "means to find an actually appealing offer" It's still the core thing. Women mostly only dated mid men for lack of other options. So, according to you (and when including the context of the comment above yours), a woman's options are/were, respectively: appealing men available to her through OLD and social media, or "unappealing"/"mid" men in her social circle

One of my father's most unforgettable memories is seeing my grandfather walking hand in hand with a strange young woman on the street.

The late bloomer isn't being "excluded", in this instance, he's an active and successful member of the dating pool.

The Game is one of the most anti-RP books I've read. I don't know why people keep touting it as this "how-to" Bible of the RP. It's one man's autobiography of how the early PUA community became a bunch of drama hungry primma-donnas (ironically what is happening now in RP spaces. So much infighting), and how the author didn't get any fulfillment out of it. It's like when people watch the Wolf of Wall Street and glamorize the sex and drugs but forget Belfort gets arrested at the end.

When men say women value looks as much as men do, I think they mean exactly what they say. You're assuming the men saying this are blackpill, which is probably usually the case in this subreddit, but not always. When I've said looks matter to women as much as they do to men, what I mean is that, with few exceptions, you need to pass a looks threshold to be considered a candidate. In other words, you need to qualify to get into the track meet before you can compete. To me, the concept of a Chad (…

That being said, women’s attraction isn’t as looks-based as men’s The disconnect is between the "relative" and the "absolute". Imagine two university courses with two different syllabi. Course A has tests weighing 40% of your final grade, Course B has tests weighing 60% of your grade. However, both tests in both courses are graded identically (or some would argue the tests in Course A are graded more harshly). In Course A, it would be accurate to say tests matter less.

Men can grasp it fine. The anger is coming from the fact that there is a "hard ceiling" for some men.

The most important selection bias both genders have to grapple with is the over-representation of negative traits in the opposite gender's "singles pool".

I've never met a man who was able to find casual sex easily struggle to get into a relationship. Staying in those relationships is a different story.

Honestly, it's reinforced by the multitudes of women claiming the overwhelming majority of them are demisexual. I prefer "majority", not "overwhelming majority". Women who just want some good dick from an attractive guy aren't that hard to find, and when you account for the inherent selection bias, since demisexuals are more likely to already be in relationships, they make up a pretty sizeable portion of the singles market.

Imagine an x-y axis where the x-axis represents a sliding scale of masculinity to femininity for women (or femininity to masculinity for men), and the y-axis represents the level of broad appeal to the opposite gender. For men assessing women, the y-axis caps out at 95%, but for women assessing men, it's probably much lower. When you picture a woman who has good skin, nice eyes, good hair, good p…

The overwhelming majority of attractive women don’t post thirst traps. Most young, attractive women I know do. And I don't follow IG models or OF girls either, just girls I met through friends. I'd say about 75% have private IG pages though. The overwhelming majority of male attention however goes to to women that do. Their thirst traps get no male attention. Literally zero aside from likes. It's just other women they're friend's with gassing them up in the comments. Maybe their DMs are a differ…

Those are extreme examples. I've talked to enough women to know it's 99% of the time a lot more subtle. Lingering gazes, hugs that last too long, innuendos, conversations that uncomfortably drift in the sexual direction. Exiting those situations gracefully and safely is a social skill. Not justifying any of that objectifying behavior, but it does force women to be more "in tune" with what's happening around them.

This one?: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/06/090626153511.htm Isn't the answer is obvious? A man's physical attractiveness is not directly proportional to his masculinity, whereas women's physical attractiveness is more directly related to her femininity. There's effectively an "extra dimension" to how we rate male attractiveness, and the most attractive men have a harmonious polarity of both masculine and feminine features.

Wanting to help people or give them things is not “love bombing” sometimes people just like to give a lot to others. Again, you're conflating the early stages of a relationship (i.e. dating) with the relationship writ large. It is okay if you don’t do that. What is not okay is to then say women don’t contribute to relationships while complaining that I contribute too much 😭 I never said relationships, I said "early relationships". Emphasis on early.

Good for them. I'm not denying average looking couples exist. Just that a lot of these self-proclaimed "decent looking guys" aren't as "decent looking" as they think they are. Most of them are way into below-average territory. And yeah, even if you're an average looking guy, dating apps are going to suck for you. Average couples still exist because people still meet and pair up through social networks, although even those forms of pairing up are declining.

Women do, in fact, become pickier the larger the dating pool is. And when you are on OLD, that pool is pretty huge. the researchers discovered that men are equally discerning when it comes to the women they’d like to see again no matter how many people are in a speed-dating pool. Their standards remain unchanged whether they meet 10 or 20 potential partners. Women, on the other hand, become pickier the more partners are “on the market.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2018/02/12/in-e…
