| 1 | Free mate choice as practiced today is uncommon in human history. Across 190 contemporary hunter-gatherers, arranged marriage was the typical form of mating (Apostolou 2019)That doesn't help, no, but other countries, like Canada and the UK aren't too far behind the US, and also have rising obesity, yet have been able to keep their relative life expectancies on the rise as opposed to the US. Epidemiologically, sadly, one large contributor to the actual drop in life expectancy is thought to be due to increased suicides, overdoses and the various sequelae stemming from alcoholism, like liver failure. The suicide rate amongst middle aged men and women without college d… | /r/BlackPillScience | 01/07/20 01:30 PM |
| 2 | Free mate choice as practiced today is uncommon in human history. Across 190 contemporary hunter-gatherers, arranged marriage was the typical form of mating (Apostolou 2019)People in developed countries increasingly don't even want children - as it is in both Italy and Japan, their populations are now showing negative growth rates, which is a potentially significant issue if it keeps up and there's no one around to run society or take care of the elderly. However, it makes sense people don't want children as much, as first off, people used to have like 10 kids because both only a few kids even survived to adulthood in the past, and contributed to their parents surv… | /r/BlackPillScience | 22/06/20 04:34 PM |
| 2 | Free mate choice as practiced today is uncommon in human history. Across 190 contemporary hunter-gatherers, arranged marriage was the typical form of mating (Apostolou 2019)Yes, and why do you think that is? Because they didn't have birth control while standards of living and child mortality rates improved very quickly thanks to the quick introduction of modern medicine, etc., allowing their populations to explode, as half of infants weren't dying in the first 6 months and the majority in the first few years anymore. In a "civilized country," where the vast majority survive infancy and childhood, if people don't have birth control, the population exponentially incr… | /r/BlackPillScience | 22/06/20 04:23 PM |

Across 190 contemporary hunter-gatherers, arranged marriage was the typical form of mating (Apostolou 2019)So it's really about you, not the future of civilization. You apparently skipped over the entire overpopulation thing I mentioned in making that statement, which is re: "the future of civilization." So I guess, according to you, we can have the collapse of civilization either way: through birth control, or through hellish overpopulation which will self-regulate, not by birth control, but instead the suffering of starvation, neglect and conflict, and a society filled with children who's parents d… | /r/BlackPillScience | 22/06/20 02:54 PM |
| 1 | Free mate choice as practiced today is uncommon in human history. Across 190 contemporary hunter-gatherers, arranged marriage was the typical form of mating (Apostolou 2019)Oh come on - it's one thing to be critical of what online dating has done to relationships in the contemporary west, but it's a whole different thing to decry birth control - don't throw the baby out with the bathwater (ironic usage I guess). Overpopulation isn't really a concern so long as birth control is in the picture, but without it, we'd rapidly enter that territory and it's natural self-regulation would be nothing short of immensely tragic. So, yes, I can see in the future people seeing h… | /r/BlackPillScience | 21/06/20 11:23 PM |
| 4 | Intelligence above a certain level is a hindrance on the mating market, and people value Emotional Intelligence over Intelligence in a potential partnerI'm sure this is all true, including the findings that particularly high intelligence isn't preferred, and I'm not saying I'm in the 99th percentile, but I definitely don't try to hide whatever intelligence I do have, because I'd rather someone reject me for being "too smart" and end up with someone that's attracted to that, since they do exist. I wouldn't be able to spend time with someone that's thinking "If only they were dumber." At the same time, I can see it being unattractive to just spou… | /r/BlackPillScience | 21/06/20 11:08 PM |
| 8 | "We argue that females switch between homogamy and hypergamy and vice versa, depending on the particular social circumstance."I can definitely see men becoming more aggressive and competitive given that the rate of both sexually active and virgin males under 30 has absolutely exploded in the US mostly in the last decade, and even marriages are seeing less sexual activity than in the past according to a recent study, most of which point toward social media/the internet as a cause. I also imagine mental illness among young males has taken a hit, too. I can't even imagine being fucking 18 and online dating - holy shit. Th… | /r/BlackPillScience | 21/06/20 11:02 PM |
