6	Female STM desire has 0 relation to attractiveness or status of the man it's impossibe to effectively measure behavior when the participants are aware of being observed regardless of what you tell the participants. It's surely better than nothing, but doesn't make the methodology viable. You're introducing variables you can't account for, plain and simple. Moreover, tricks like this can only get you so far. First of all, people, especially students in psychological/social sciences, are aware of the possibility that researchers will measure other variables than they'…	/r/BlackPillScience	12/10/21 09:34 AM
3	Female STM desire has 0 relation to attractiveness or status of the man This is exactly my point. In no way do the researchers rule out the effect. They simply use it as a justification for choosing the method they've used. The idea that it accurately simulates real life is an assumption, not a proven fact. The study it refers to specifically only measured drinking behavior and compared it to drinking behavior in real life. Determining whether the setting is valid for this study is impossible because sexual behavior isn't quantifiable and therefore impossible to mea…	/r/BlackPillScience	12/10/21 09:23 AM
5	Female STM desire has 0 relation to attractiveness or status of the man If you're not willing to answer a basic question about the conduct of the study you're unscientific and no one here has to take you seriously. That's nothing personal against you, it's just how science works. You can't barge in with a random study, exclaim it the ultimate truth and walk away ignoring all criticism. I mean, you can, but your post will have no scientific value whatsoever. If you truly knew what you were talking about, you wouldn't have any issue just explaining how said behavior c…	/r/BlackPillScience	12/10/21 08:21 AM
5	Female STM desire has 0 relation to attractiveness or status of the man If you've said it before I'm sure you're capable of repeating it then. As far as I can tell all you've done is refer to a small section of the text refering to why they used the setting they did, not proof of its validity. Moreover, the study it cites compared drinking patterns, which can be easily measured but hardly translates to the entirety of someone's behavior. What's the point of sharing a study if you're going to tell people to just read it and shut up about any questions they have? It d…	/r/BlackPillScience	12/10/21 08:04 AM
9	Female STM desire has 0 relation to attractiveness or status of the man I did. They used a fake pub setting with a hidden camera and invited college students to participate. Now answer my question. You shared this study, I don't see why you're so reluctant to defend it. This is how science works.	/r/BlackPillScience	12/10/21 07:11 AM
7	Female STM desire has 0 relation to attractiveness or status of the man How did they asses it reflects real life? Maybe I overread something but all I read is justifications for using the setting they used, not any statement on the validity of the methodology. If you have the means to validate a laboratory setting with a real life setting, you wouldn't need a laboratory setting.	/r/BlackPillScience	12/10/21 06:55 AM
25	Female STM desire has 0 relation to attractiveness or status of the man The methodology is questionable. It's well known that putting people in a situation where they know their behavior will be monitored (in this case a fake pub) is going to change their behavior to fit socially desireable norms. It's really hard to measure phenomena like sexual behavior and there's a lot of conflicting results between studies, which the authors acknowledge. This is an attempt to extend methodologies for measuring sexual behavior, not a be all end all proof to debunk any theory.	/r/BlackPillScience	12/10/21 06:49 AM
5	Testosterone correlates with mating success but masculinity and attractiveness do not, suggesting behavior differences caused by higher testosterone are the cause Yet again, I have no idea why you're getting upvoted when you clearly have no idea what you're talking about, and most likely no significant scientific training. The person you're responding to is right and I find it insufferably ironic you would accuse them of lacking scientific training when you're the one trying to deduce information the study never measured for. All this study states is that the behavioral effects of testosterone increase mating success. It makes no claims on the importance …	/r/BlackPillScience	23/04/21 10:17 AM
5	What might be some advantages of being unattractive? Actually I believe it's because he was a proponent of natural selection, which he believed was lacking in modern society. He had a point in that regard because medicine and fundamental rights have allowed many who would otherwise die to survive and reproduce (though the latter arguably is only true to a much lesser extent because we still choose our mates instinctively). Nothing about that in itself is difficult to understand, but that way of viewing lives just goes outside of our ethical bounda…	/r/PurplePillDebate	03/04/20 09:57 AM
