1	Good Guy _______ Sometimes I wonder if OP's post is representative of the way-of-life the troops are defending - it seems a depressing irony.	/r/MensRights	18/06/12 04:00 AM
2	Now even Wikipedia's turning on us... Wow, paraphrasing. I underestimated you.	/r/MensRights	16/06/12 04:55 PM
11	Now even Wikipedia's turning on us... People like you bring shame to us all.	/r/MensRights	16/06/12 03:34 PM
1	Theft and vandalism. What if this had happened to a woman?(x-post from r/funny) It's not that aggression is always a useful strategy. It's that it's been a useful strategy when encountering the kinds of situations that make people angry. My point was that: from an evo psych perspective, the mechanisms that lead to anger and aggressive behaviour are very old and had evolved as important parts of the mammalian brain long before humans or apes evolved. This influenced the subsequent evolution of human brains where recent adaptation has probably involved a moderating or inhibit…	/r/MensRights	18/05/12 06:25 AM
29	Got this chain mail today. It came from the HR dept. ಠ_ಠ Absolutely! Please don't let this slide OP. The people responsible may continue and need to be reprimanded, this is degrading and abusive. Furthermore, chain-letters of any kind should not be coming from HR.	/r/MensRights	18/05/12 02:09 AM

1	Theft and vandalism. What if this had happened to a woman?(x-post from r/funny) It's not too hard to see how aggression evolved as a useful strategy among social mammals. As social groups became larger evolutionary pressure probably steered humans toward non-violent, or non-lethal, aggression strategies...... at least where in-group members are concerned. Competition between rival social groups on the other hand......	/r/MensRights	17/05/12 04:58 PM
2	"Sexism": I do not think it means what you think it means. What a ridiculous assertion....	/r/MensRights	16/05/12 03:14 PM
8	TIL: Lesbians, like hetero women, are much more likely to initiate divorce. This data does not support your conclusion. It's cherry picking.	/r/MensRights	15/05/12 04:48 PM
2	Am I the bitch or are they? Is it cool for women to degrade men in the workplace? Agreed, men and women should be free, amongst friends, to talk about this stuff. If you're in a professional workplace, however, you should speak and act appropriately. In most workplaces it is not acceptable or appropriate for anyone to objectify or publicly "rate the attractiveness" of their coworkers.	/r/MensRights	01/05/12 01:02 PM
1	are we slowly coming to the conclusion that "game" doesn't exist? I've been thinking about that and there are some pretty difficult problems to overcome. Behaviour is notoriously difficult to study scientifically because it is so difficult to get reliable, useful and quantifiable data from observations. Large amounts of data would need to be collected in a reliable and consistent way. Variables need to be defined which is pretty difficult because there are so many variables and they are difficult to categorize. I would try to systematically catalog the number …	/r/seduction	06/01/12 10:51 AM
1	are we slowly coming to the conclusion that "game" doesn't exist? Of course not, more like a fuzzy variable. But there is NO scientific rigor in your data collection, experiment design or peer review process. Even most of the nomenclature is colloquial and poorly defined. Anecdotal evidence and personal experience do not make science.	/r/seduction	05/01/12 03:01 PM
1	are we slowly coming to the conclusion that "game" doesn't exist? Binary metric. What does this mean?	/r/seduction	05/01/12 01:07 PM
1	are we slowly coming to the conclusion that "game" doesn't exist? That's a list of cognitive biases that can corrupt the scientific method. In the scientific world, especially in psychology, physiology, and medicinal sciences, this is corrected through repeated experiments and peer review. Both of which are present in the pick-up world. Cognitive biases don't corrupt the scientific method. The scientific method is a way to remove bias from observation and it is necessary because our perception is so radically flawed by cognitive bias. Repeated experiments in u…	/r/seduction	05/01/12 12:47 PM
1	are we slowly coming to the conclusion that "game" doesn't exist? I would imagine that whoever can apply the formula the best and the most efficiently would win the girl. Oh, so whoever has the best "feel" for how the formula works would win the girl? In other words the best 'pick up ARTIST' would win. When you use the word "science", you refer to commonly established, peer-reviewed scientific principles. No, I am referring to the scientific method. When I use the word "science", I'm referring to the scientific method: observing naturals who naturally get girl…	/r/seduction	05/01/12 03:34 AM
1	are we slowly coming to the conclusion that "game" doesn't exist? To me, the difference between "art" and "science" is that art depends on the practitioners instinct, the practitioner gets a basic "feel" of what works and what doesn't. What the seduction community is trying to do is slowly take away the aspect where you have to "get a feel" for how seduction works, and move it towards what tangible inputs and outputs are necessary to make it work. Ah, the search for the secret formula. What happens when everybody knows it? I have no reservations against inject…	/r/seduction	04/01/12 02:04 PM
4	are we slowly coming to the conclusion that "game" doesn't exist? There is a reason it is not generally referred to as the "science of seduction". The more common and applicable term is "ART of seduction". Similarly it is not the "science of psychoanalysis but the "art of psychoanalysis". The term "science" is bandied around a lot as a way to legitimize beliefs or to market products or systems (maybe this is where you picked it up?), teaching AFC's to pick up has become a profitable and rapidly growing industry. I'm quite sure Neil DeGrasse Tyson would never r…	/r/seduction	04/01/12 05:46 AM
3	are we slowly coming to the conclusion that "game" doesn't exist? There is nothing scientific about that framework and that is not how it works. What you are talking about is similar to cognitive behavioural therapy: By consciously directing our thought process we reorganize the anatomy of neuronal connections in our nervous system and, given time and repetition, these new thought processes will become habitual. It's been shown that forcing yourself to smile will create neurological changes that make you happier. This is because the neurons that generate happy…	/r/seduction	04/01/12 01:47 AM
6	I apologise for the language, it is not my writing, but I think there are some interesting thoughts hidden between these disrespectful lines haha, horoscopes.	/r/seduction	28/12/11 05:35 PM

1	I'm a transgender female living as a man; I have some observations and questions you might be interested in, /mensrights It's non-relevant because he was making the (impossible) claim that if human women didn't select for a behavior, it would go extinct in a single generation. Now, if you don't already have an objection to that, right off the bat, let me give you a ton of them: You could have stopped here, you are right and I agree 100%. The single generation claim is completely naive and outlandish. Your previous posts didn't make it clear that this was the point you were contesting and I didn't really take that …	/r/MensRights	09/11/11 11:05 PM
1	I'm a transgender female living as a man; I have some observations and questions you might be interested in, /mensrights (how is that behavior related, or evolutionarily related to behavior) WTF? "How is that behaviour related to behaviour?" - Please make more sense. Hormone mediation in female sexual selection is well studied, well documented and appears to be a significant effect. It is not pseudoscience. Hormone mediation in female ratings of male facial attractiveness Women's preferences for sexual dimorphism in height depend on menstrual cycle phase and expected duration of relationship This stuff has been we…	/r/MensRights	08/11/11 11:49 PM
1	Men 'biologically wired' to care for children. Consider the difference in behaviour between species who invest in paternal care and species who don't. In most species the food demands of the "whole troop" won't influence the behaviour of the father at all because he doesn't stick around or there is no troop. So, the "food demands of the troop" won't affect an individual father's behaviour unless he has already acquired behavioural adaptations which encourage him to raise his children co-operatively or live socially.	/r/MensRights	17/09/11 02:16 AM
1	Men 'biologically wired' to care for children. I'm really leery of claims of behavior being associated with adaptations to social groups Really? But, in support of your argument you cited a behavioural adaptation in response to social pressures: GREATER food demands on the whole troop. To feed the new mouths. So wouldn't greater aggressiveness and hunting activity, reflected in higher testosterone levels, be more adaptive? Also, how about: our visual system being specifically adapted to acquire facial information from the expressive eyes and…	/r/MensRights	16/09/11 03:41 AM
1	Use this material for good, not evil. Oxytocin is not understood fully. It does appear to modulate social bonding processes but correlation does not imply causation i.e. Just because oxytocin is released post-coitally, post-natally and when we play with our dogs does not necessarily mean that oxytocin is implicit in the bonding process. It may simply make us more relaxed, disinhibited or socially aware around others which, in turn, facilitates bonding or it may do something different. As with most hormones it probably does lots of s…	/r/seduction	13/09/11 04:15 PM
2	Men 'biologically wired' to care for children. Don't judge the research by the journalist. Science reporting in newspapers is almost always misleading and imprecise. So wouldn't greater aggressiveness and hunting activity, reflected in higher testosterone levels, be more adaptive? No. Evolutionary pressures are more complex than the simple capacity to find food, especially when adaptations involve complex social groups.	/r/MensRights	13/09/11 02:51 PM
2	Men 'biologically wired' to care for children. SciAm Mind covered fatherhood in last months issue. They mention decreased testosterone and cortisol and increased levels of estradiol in recent fathers. More interesting, to me, were the neurological changes observed in paternally deprived Degu rats (SciAm) but unfortunately I cannot link to the full article so here is a link to The Wall Street Journal which discusses the same study. The study shows deficits in the density of synaptic connections in the somatosensory cortex, orbitofrontal corte…	/r/MensRights	13/09/11 02:33 PM
