Will you explain what makes this witch hunting? My comment wasn't calling for any attacks or even saying that anyone was straight-up wrong. I wanted to explain why I thought that personal situations and experience might bias some advice and that Alda's advice to ignore all women and specific backlash against poppy should be taken with a grain of salt depending on one's life goals.

The extent to which sexual attraction matters is personal. For an asexual person, it doesn't matter. For most people, it will matter at least to some extent, but other priorities may matter more. For some, it will be the defining need within a relationship. For me personally, there's a minimum level of sexual attraction that's necessary in order for me to be excited by sex (and I value active interest in sex in the context of a relationship), but it's a binary threshold; if you hit it, that's gr…

I don't think fear of being alone or having to restart the dating process are the main reasons women stay in bad relationships. I think the biggest reasons are kids, financial instability, and not realizing it's a bad relationship (or believing she's not worth anything better). Around half or a bit more than half of my lady friends are currently in LTRs, though at least from my perspective most of these are good relationships.

Or did men and women still love each other back then? In the past, most cultures didn't think love was necessary for a relationship. Marriage was about connecting/allying families or about economic partnership. Love wasn't seen as necessary, and people didn't focus on it. I doubt it was as common as love is in modern relationships, simply because there was no cultural emphasis on love.

Yeah what I meant with the period talk is that it can make some people uncomfortable. You're correct that some people are uncomfortable with this talk, though I have yet to hear anyone who's uncomfortable with it give a reason that doesn't boil down to the perception that female biology is inherently obscene or dirty. Have you? Without a solid reason for the special level of discomfort, I do not prioritize this discomfort over normalizing this kind of discussion. Normalizing "period talk" is imp…

the best way to make false accusations of rape get the skepticism they deserve is to make instances of actual sexual assault and rape as rare as they should be (i.e., it shouldn't happen) 🙃

I'm sorry to hear you've had such violent and threatening experiences. I hope you came out of those experiences safely and had minimal lasting trauma. Good on you for reporting and getting your attackers arrested. I don't think that women are categorically different from men in terms of capacity for violence, but there are substantial statistical differences. In violent crimes where the victim and offender are different genders, 9/10 were men attacking women rather than the reverse (source: http…

Doesn't sound like a come-on? What does that even mean? I'm saying that comments like "ugh I'm having terrible period cramps" or "oh shoot I just started bleeding and don't have a tampon" are not sexual or flirtatious or implicitly requesting sexual favors/attention of any sort. It's no more sexual than something like "ouch, I cut my face shaving" or crying out in pain when someone kicks a soccer ball and it hits you in the balls. A person who complains is typically looking for some combination …

Because men can usually physically overpower women, men are socialized to channel all negative emotions into anger, and men do react with violence and/or anger to rejection frequently. Almost every woman has some experience with men reacting in anger/violence to rejection, and there have been some high-profile instances of murder attributed to rage about sexlessness. Certainly it's not all men but enough men that the threat feels real and present. You can't always know who will react violently u…

Also side note I saw your other post on this sub before it got deleted and just going to call out that male orgasms can be much more intense (on par with or even more intense than what you were envying with female orgasms) if you find your prostate.

Oh definitely the specific actions are a me thing. But that it's usually actions which are a turn on for women is not specific to me, it's just that for other women that could be any number of actions, like singing in a deep bass voice or shooting a bullseye or dunking a basketball.

Just wanted to start off by saying that everything you've described is completely normal and not creepy. If you keep it to brief glances and don't try to engage then you're not going to be making people feel unsafe, it looks like some of the other commenters were trying to shame you for that but you have nothing you need to be ashamed of.

The women you deal with (bisexuals and lesbians) are going to differ from women who are more heterosexually polarized The women I've been with have all been more hetero than not, in fact two of them have self-described as "straight with one exception," and those same two are currently engaged to marry men. They're all definitely in the hetero dating pool, and every one of them had been with men before me. I don't think it makes sense to characterize them as more different from 100% hetero women …

I'd rather date someone who's less than a foot different from my height in either direction, but a bigger height difference isn't a dealbreaker. Within 6" of my height is ideal, I make no height distinctions within that range. I don't have a hard limit, but as noted in my first point, I prefer someone who's within a foot of my height. On the low side, that's 4'6". And ideal would be within 6" of my height, which means 5'0". 5' to 6'. 5'6" is the shortest man I've been with, and the shortest pers…

Yeah, this kind of red pill take is part of why I don't buy the ideology. Sure, some women want a partner who seems fully self-assured. And some (myself included) prefer a partner who's willing to connect intimately and be honest about insecurities. Everyone has insecurities. Women are individual human beings who each have their own preferences.

Because they focus on what makes men attractive to women. Lol I do not have most of what TRP says makes men attractive to women. I don't push my framing of an interaction or a dynamic, I'm neither tall nor muscular, I don't play dread games, I'm not particularly extroverted, and I intentionally show extra empathy when I am looking at someone as a sexual or romantic option. I do have plenty of success pulling men and women, though I'm also not a man. For me, an "active" approach involves direct c…

Why do you think anything from the red pill is necessary in order to take an active approach to dating? I personally take an active role in dating (at all phases, from finding a date in the first place to maintaining a long term relationship) without employing red pill techniques or subscribing to red pill ideology. What are the main aspects of the red pill which you think are necessary in order to gain control over your dating life?

If you take out all the rest of the descriptions and just pare it down to "commitment from an average guy" or "no commitment from an attractive guy," then I could easily be happy with both of these. Including the full descriptions, I want neither guy.

Personally I would prefer if men I don't know never approached me or flirted with me, and I would prefer if men I do know only made flirtatious or suggestive comments in the context of having already had a direct discussion about our reciprocated interest. If this meant men never approached me, awesome, I can approach the ones I'm interested in without needing to wait for them.

I support (ethically-produced) porn usage and agree that all the circumstances you described are sensible times to bring in porn, and yet I feel like your overall relationship mindset is deeply unhealthy. It shouldn't be "permit porn or else risk cheating and/or abandonment." In a healthy relationship, you can share and/or discuss porn you enjoy with a partner and use it to spark conversations and understand each other better. If your partner is uncomfortable with the idea of porn, that's also a…

True that there's a distinction between opportunities for casual sex and committed dating. I would question though whether the marriage stats are a relevant statistic given that marriage as an institution tends to be much more important to religious people, and religious people are more likely to be conservative.

As a leftist woman living in a city, I agree strongly that these demographics are important.

Your financial situation can be shown by the clothes you wear, your car, describing what you do for a living, etc. If you don't want to be seen as a provider, don't buy expensive gifts or pay for expensive dates, and do talk about how you respect independent women. And be aware that if you aren't interested in taking on a provider role you probably won't attract many women who are more submissive and traditional, so hopefully you aren't interested in those sorts of women.

If it's not 'dominated by male control' then call it something else. There's plenty of good words to use. Discrimination. Prejudice. Systemic bias.

Police reform is BLM, not feminism. BLM is its own movement, but it's strongly supported by intersectional feminists, it has been built on feminist organizational structures & fundraising, and its goals are a necessary part of gender equality.

No. That ideology is not 'patriarchal'. It is matriarchal. It was campaigned for and enshrined in law in Britain under the premise that women were more moral, caring, and just better than men. If the premise was that women were more moral, caring, or generally better than men, why would this ideology limit that characterization to the sphere of parenting and home life? Wouldn't people who genuinely believed that also want women to be in control of the political systems and businesses which impac…

1) A society doesn't need to be 100% dominated by male control in order to have a patriarchal structure. Your use of "legitimately patriarchal" to implicitly delegitimize patriarchy in the modern day is unhelpful. 2) Contextually, the "patriarchy" in this quote is descriptive of patriarchy the author has personally experienced (modern-day western patriarchy). The quote isn't meant to describe or classify all historical patriarchal systems.

If your partner does happen to be full of barely-contained lust every time they see you, I don't think that's a bad thing. I just think it's a bad thing to have that as a required standard for every partner you have. People have different libidos, age is a factor, if you expect to always have raging lust for your partner (or vice versa) you'll be missing out on some people who might be very compatible with you.

Attracted enough to me overall (looks + personality + anything else that factors into your attraction) to want to have sex with me and to feel happy about being in a relationship with me (not resentful, not making plans to try to leave me for someone "better") I don't think it's practical, desirable, or reasonable to require your partner to be full of barely-contained lust every time they see you.

Why should women have equality? Both because I (like many people) believe everyone should have equality of opportunity and because it causes the next generation to be healthier and better-educated.

Source for rape lasting at least a few minutes is every study on how long sexual intercourse lasts. There are many of them.

And your justification for your claim is your subjective assessment that the pain and injuries of non-sexual assault are worse than sexual assault.

It's wrong to think of modern feminism as an effort to guarantee more legal rights for women. Modern feminism is an effort to make the overall standing of men and women more equal in society.

Hon that's not what the study says.

Also the relevant comparison isn't people who had consensual sex. It's people who didn't have intercourse at all.

The least bad form of assault? Rape lasts a minimum of a few minutes, while most non-sexual physical assaults are over within a few seconds. Rape can easily result in an incurable STD that affects you for the rest of your life (causing pain, embarrassment, and/or relationship difficulties). Many other forms of non-sexual physical assault will result in zero injury, or they will result in injuries that last less than a week. And rape often also includes pain and tearing of regions of the body tha…

That and regardless of where you meet, the math is that the percent of high-n women who a typical guy has fucked will be higher than the percent of high-n women who exist. E.g., if half of women had a count of ten and half had a count of two, then 5/6 of the women the average guy has fucked will have a count of ten.

I'm not saying that dressing modestly renders you impervious to objectification, anymore than I'd say wearing a seatbelt guarantees your safety in a car accident.

The reason so many men do things that get them locked up is because they don't feel like they any support system. This is true, but it's a separate issue from unjust male incarceration. I would classify the cultural issues (e.g., men not having a support system) which cause men to commit more crimes as an issue of disproportionate male criminality. The issue of unjust male incarceration I would define as men receiving less leniency in sentencing than women for committing the same crime.

Women seek empathy and attention in distress. Men seek cooperation and solutions. Both of these descriptions are so vague as to be meaningless. Was #metoo a call for empathy and attention to individual women's stories, or was it a cooperative solution to the problem of powerful abusers continuing to roam free and add tallies to their lists of victims? I would say it was both. When you give a "pat on the back after hearing from a male friend about a rough day," are you providing empathy and atten…

Relationship sex is way better. My partner already knows what I like and is unlikely to do something which would really turn me off, and I know which of my kinks are ok vs. off-limits. In a relationship, I don't have to pause or lose momentum explaining how I operate, and it's easy for me to feel comfortable and relaxed. I have zero interest in casual sex, I can't be turned on unless it's with someone I trust.

There's a spectrum of sex drives and levels of desire for orgasm. There's also a spectrum of anti-sex drive factors (everything from fear of pregnancy/STDs to fear of slut-shaming to fear of violence), which for most men are fairly minor relative to how high these anti-sex drive factors are in women. When you add the sex drive to the anti-sex drive and look at the net result, the average is definitely higher for men. But for both men and women there's a spectrum, and the male spectrum overlaps w…

Female hypergamy is what drives women to expect that a guy that's a 5 should have to give her additional time and attention, and romance and pay for dates when a guy that's an 8 shouldn't have to.

In terms of the dictionary definition, yes. In terms of how people use the word on this forum and other similar forums?

No, it assumes that men also take the best they can get, but our lovely pals in the manosphere think it isn't hypergamy when men take the best they can get because (a) for casual sex the best they can get is likely to be less attractive than they are just by virtue of supply and demand, and (b) for LTRs the best they can get is likely to make less money than they do because if you match two people who are at the exact same income percentile for their gender the man makes more

The manosphere attributes hypergamy to women because they're focused on casual sex. In LTRs hypergamy isn't particularly a gendered thing (as you've said, most people regardless of gender want the best they can get) but for casual sex there are a lot more men in the market than women, so "the best you can get" is usually matching up for women and matching down for men.

Sex is a good heuristic for dividing into leagues because it has such a huge impact on muscle mass and height, but you definitely can have fair competition if you set some kind of muscle mass cutoff.

Let's make this more concrete. Say I'm a 5'4" 130-lb female with reasonably good fitness, which is an average height and a healthy weight for that height. Then my adult male match in muscle mass and general fitness would be a 4'8" guy under 100 lbs. Do you really think this tiny guy is going to be stronger than the average woman? Or say you're a 5'9" man who's 150 lbs. Your female muscle-mass match is a 200-lb 6'8" woman. Do you think a woman that giant would be weaker than the average man?

Looksmaxing is somewhat useful in the casual sex market, but it only works up to a point unless you are able to afford expensive things like plastic surgery because women care more about things like height and whether you have a full head of hair than whether you are a little bit chubby. If you are going from morbidly obese to slightly overweight, that's useful, but going from slightly overweight to rock-hard abs is not going to make a big difference…

Imagine working out for years until you look like an athlete just so an overweight woman can be your match Imagine going to school for years to get a high-paying job just to be a fair match for someone who's unemployed. Working out isn't worthless to your RMV, but it isn't the most important. And if you're using something like Tinder, you are in the casual sex market even if you don't advertise that way.

You can be a fair match for overweight women without being overweight. I don't know what your situation is, but your fair match in the LTR market is someone who lines up with your overall RMV.

You can be overweight but otherwise physically and non-physically attractive and be a fair match for a relatively attractive woman.

I agree that the traits you listed cover what most (though not all) women are aroused by, but my point was that to even get that level of coverage you were already moving away from physical attributes, because there’s too much variance in which physical attributes are desirable to make even mostly-valid generalizations.

The second time, the woman said, “My bf doesn’t care if I hook up with other women, he would only care if it was a man,” and let’s just say she had never actually asked him. In terms of the ratio between how often I’ve had single vs. taken…

Men giving gifts to women and not vice versa could make sense if you assume a world where men are making money and women do not have their own money (because if a woman who doesn't have money gives her partner a gift, she's probably using his money to get it which is like he's giving himself a gift). But that's not the world most of us live in anymore, culture needs to get with the times.

LTR's based on sex exclusivity (no one want to be cheated) limited time shared, reduced co-habitation, no shared debt, no shared expenses but shared feeling and emotional support. Could something like this work? My LTR with my primary partner works well.

F, physical touch is my primary, and quality time is my secondary. In terms of matching with a partner, I need my partner to be happy about satisfying both of these. I am able to satisfy any of the five, but if someone's primary is random gifts then I'm probably not the best match for them because I naturally only give gifts for special occasions or if I'm asked for a gift rather than fully spontaneously, and I think if I was going to give "random" gifts I would need to mark arbitrary days in my…

If I find a guy attractive, a personal act of kindness/respect can turn me on to want sex with him right the fuck now. If I don't find him attractive, kindness won't change that in the short term. Though in the long term I'm more likely to develop attraction to someone I spend a lot of time with, and I'll spend more time with someone who treats me kindly.

This is around 1% of abortions (maybe even less than that, I know it’s 1.3% at or beyond 21 weeks), and these are very unusual and painful decisions.

We can't redefine these traits and say that a skinny, feminine looking boy is masculine. We can't say he is traditionally masculine, but we can affirm that he's a real man and worthy of respect. Women will be attracted to what the lizard brain defines masculine men as. Women aren't a monolith. I'm definitely not a representative woman, but I have always been more attracted to men who look more androgynous and men who would more likely be described as "cute" than "hot."

"no no, masculinity is fine, we just hate TOXIC masculinity", which is really just a dog whistle for traditional masculinity. The big difference between toxic (or I often say "limiting" rather than "toxic") masculinity vs. traditional masculinity is that traditional masculinity describes how individuals present themselves, whereas limiting/toxic masculinity describes how individuals contribute to and/or are pressured by a society where men are expected to conform. So for example, being a physica…

You used just "women" in the title and in your third paragraph, and because your third paragraph was immediately before you switched to "they," I surmised that "they" was referring to women in general rather than "a ton of women who are struggling."

No. But I would consider myself unusual in how I approach sex, and I think my particular strategy gives more opportunity to figure out if someone's confidence is baseless than most strategies. I only approach for sex with people after I've gotten to know them fairly well in a friendship context, and I reject everyone who approaches me. Sometimes I will soft-reject if I think there's a chance I might decide I like them enough later, but I will wait until I am good and ready before making an appro…

The guy who is competent but not confident usually does okay with women who get to know him socially, and if he gets a date is likely to be able to transition to LTR if he wants that. He is very unlikely to do well with OLD or cold approaches.

There are differences between accepting the possibility that you won't find a partner, stopping your efforts to get a partner, and opting for MGTOW. Accepting the possibility that you won't find a partner is healthy for everyone regardless of how attractive they are. Whether you should stop your efforts to get a partner is a matter of weighing the costs and benefits for you individually. It depends on how attractive you are, how much success you have had, how crazy the rest of your life is, etc.…

The science isn't settled on the "extreme male brain" hypothesis of autism, but there is evidence for and against it, and I think it's relevant to note that the hypothesis is about fetal testosterone rather than adult testosterone.

Physically, using a vibrating strap-on to peg someone feels better to me than being penetrated, and I usually orgasm multiple times. Visually, I love a cute ass. Psychologically, it makes me feel more dominant, which I enjoy, and I appreciate the vulnerability of my partner.

It's due more to societal changes that promote more abstract thinking (which is mainly what IQ tests measure) and increased test taking familiarity than nutrition.

It means they would have trouble interpreting patterns they don't have concrete experience with. Like you would have people who h…

Sharing is caring, and if you genuinely care about your partners’ happiness more than you care about owning them, and you have very strong communication skills, then poly can work very well. Especially if one or more of the partners are bi/pan or all partners are homosexual and everyone is with everyone. It can get tricky balancing needs especially if people have to move to separate locations, but overall it facilitates a healthier dynamic with better communication and less codependency if it's …

Most of my attraction doesn’t come from the overall body shape (it comes more from how the person moves, how they talk, the voice, what their hands look like, how they smell, and personality) but no contest I prefer Aaron Paul’s body type

Here's the thing, though: no one really has "strong hands." The movers are always a step above True, if strength is what you're looking for in attractive hands. women indeed love strong hands I don't dislike strong hands but really the biggest factors in whether I like someone's hands are the length of the fingers (longer is better) and the length of the fingernails (shorter is better, and please keep the edges smooth). I like ~80% of men's hands and about half of women's hands.

Though in terms of overall sexual chemistry with someone (including like personal grooming, scent, body language, and whether I like their hands rather than just the basic body shape) it's more like 10% of both men and women, and in terms of long term compatibility it's less than 1% of any gender.

Yes, it's possible for a woman to find a LTR on a dating site, but (a) tinder is notoriously one of the apps that's least likely to have people looking for a LTR, and (b) if a woman finds a LTR she leaves the site, so the population that remains on tinder is going to be people who failed to get a LTR or people who didn't want one in the first place. Guess who continues using the app longer? So the stat about women on tinder says very little about what women overall are looking for

Based on what I have seen from comments and based on the most recent survey, the women here are more likely to be low N count.

The obvious takeaway given that the majority here are heterosexual across genders and that there are more men in this sub than women is that the self-selecting sample of women who want to engage with this sub is smaller and tends to be in a different dating pool than the men here.

This isn’t something I made up, it’s just the modern meaning of this rule of thumb. Quoting Wikipedia: That a person should never date someone under half their age plus seven is a rule of thumb sometimes used to determine whether an age difference is socially acceptable.[66][67][68][69] Although the origin of the rule is unclear, it is sometimes considered to have French origin.[67] In earlier sources, the rule had a different interpretation than in contemporary culture, as it was understood as …

I’m female, it’s “all the people who would date you.” The word “option” means if I ask for it I get it and if I refuse I don’t get it. That’s what it means on a restaurant menu, and that’s what it means in dating. There’s no reason to filter options to only include the ones I want unless you tack on an adjective, e.g., “viable options.”

the formula : female age = male age /2 +7 This formula is agnostic of gender and is used to explain that most people have a steep curve in gaining maturity and life experience while young, and gradually the process of becoming mature and changing life stages slows down.

It explains why it’s not socially acceptable for a twenty-year-old to date a thirty-year-old but its acceptable to have a ten-year age gap between a fifty-year-old and a sixty-ye…

If you feel disgusted at the sight or idea of someone you love kissing someone else, yeah, polyamory might be difficult for you to do well with. If it’s very situational, you can create rules for your relationships (e.g., “I don’t feel comfortable with the idea of you kissing another woman so any relationships we have outside of this one have to be gay relationships”) but that does require your negative feelings to be contained to specific situations, and it requires your partners to be on board…

I personally enjoy threesomes, but you can be poly without ever having one. Being poly to me just means that you don't expect one person to be everything to you, you can (and prefer to) feel an intimate connection to multiple people at once, and the idea of sharing your partners either feels neutral to you or makes you happy. Some people would define being poly even more broadly, but I think those three elements plus a healthy dose of strong communication skills are the bare minimum for doing we…

I don't think I'm in the situation you're describing, but I do have more kinky sex with my secondary partners than my primary, and in some previous relationships I had sex more often than I currently have sex with my primary partner. It's not because I feel that I've settled in any way, it's because my primary partner has fairly low libido and isn't very interested in kink. Polyamory is a great solution to the libido mismatch.

Being servile or spineless actually mean that you are unable to stand for yourself. Spineless means you are unable to stand for yourself. Servile means you're very eager to please and say "yes," but it's still possible for a servile person to say "no." You can't be the slave AND the master at the same time.

My first time having penetrative sex was with a woman (who was 5'5"), my first time with a man the guy was 5'9" (which is exactly average for my country), and for my straight female friends and cousins where I know the height of their first time, most were with a guy of average height, in the range of 5'7" to 5'11".

But since you bring it up, being with a dominant partner would also lower my libido and likely make me feel sore/stretched more quickly, so this would also reduce my sexual stamina in the sense that I wouldn't want to have sex for as long, and I think I'd be lucky to get off even once per fuck. I don't think I would voluntarily accept mor…

If my main goal was high-quality humans after a few generations? Make everyone 100% homosexual so the only kids that happen are by choice through artificial insemination. Everyone gets a fair shake in the sex marketplace, only the people who want to be parents (and presumably will be better parents as a result of actually wanting the kids) become parents, and people intentionally select who they want as gamete donors. IMO intentional selection for what you want your kid to be like would create b…

Possibly, but I would express that as, "most people who say they want to be submissive are just being lazy." Actually submitting is not lazy, you need to be aware of what your partner wants, reading their non-verbal cues, and actively doing what they ask of you. I do think though that there are reasons submissive attitudes are more common overall than dominant ones. Submission gives validation/confidence that you (or at least what you're doing) is desired, and it frees you from feeling responsib…

It's an invasive feeling, but it isn't inherently a submissive feeling. For example, pregnancy is also invasive, but most women who stay pregnant feel that they are protecting and guiding the development of a tiny life more than that they are submitting to the needs of a parasite.

Top/bottom in gay sex refers to who's being penetrated. Top/bottom in BDSM refers to who's actively causing the stimulation, regardless of whether there's even penetration. Dom/sub refers to who is mentally in control of the action, regardless of who is physically doing the work. A woman PIV riding a man and slapping his face is the top. If she planned the scene and decided how it should go, she's also the dom. If he planned it and is directing her on how/when to move, he's the dom.

In PIV sex, women are bottoms and men are the tops. This is true even when women are on top, it doesn’t matter. I disagree. I often top with PIV for the sole reason that I feel most dominant when he's quivering under me begging to cum and struggling to hold back just because I want him to. Or if I keep holding onto him after he's gone soft and force him hard again. It doesn't feel physically as good for me as receiving oral or pegging with a vibe, but it still feels good, and it is for me more d…

I would not characterize myself as purple pill, because my personal philosophy is a lot closer to “blue pill, but with more people” than “mix of the red pill and blue pill.” I think that similarity (particularly similarity in values, but also interests) is very important for long term attraction but also it’s very hard to find anyone who will match you in all the ways that are important to you. With polyamory, there’s a built-in outlet for times when you’re annoyed by an incompatibility with you…

Sure, the evo psych take on why perceived similarity is so important for attraction is that humans survived as a species largely due to social cooperation within a group/tribe, and tribes often competed against each other either indirectly or violently. So there’s a strong evolutionary preference for quickly recognizing and trusting the in-group while being distrustful of and disliking the out-group. With this kind of social interaction, you want to keep reproduction and the vulnerability of sex…

Usually, AF/BB refers to the idea that women have a dual mating strategy, and that’s the context of the OP.

The AF/BB paradigm ignores one of the most important components of attraction: perceived similarity. Maintaining perceived similarity is not particularly an alpha or a beta trait, but it requires a higher level of actual similarity to maintain in a long-term relationship than a brief encounter. The paradigm that perceived similarity is king explains increased desire for people who aren’t long-term partners (because it’s easier to imagine you have a lot of things in common with someone new than t…

By your definitions, there is no one who would be an “alpha” to me because I require trust and respect as a prerequisite to sex, and those cannot develop solely through short-term interactions (rule of thumb is that it takes at least 50 hours of small-group or one-on-one conversations to reach this for me). Unless you think ~50 hours of conversation and trust can be considered short-term charisma? Also my interactions with “betas” have always resulted in either no net flow of resources or a net …

There’s a difference between being able to have an orgasm during PiV with a good partner vs. being able to orgasm from PiV on its own. Anatomically, it’s the clit that gives the orgasm. The clit has a significant amount of material internally, but how close that is to the vaginal passage varies from woman to woman, so some women can get off just with stimulation to the internal part of the clit while others can’t.

A lot of historical texts describe sex as a wife’s duty or obligation to her husband. Would that be the case if most women liked it?

I agree that correlation is distinct from causation, but I also think that in this particular case there are causative elements as well, most notably that people who go to college meet a lot of people at college and often develop close friendships there.

Still, we were relatively close There's a difference between saying that you maximize relationship potential by optimizing your career prospects vs. saying that you need a minimum level of education/career in order to have relationship options. I agree with you that pursuing an advanced degree often has little to no incremental benefit in terms of proximity, and focusing single-mindedly on career doesn't help with a relationship potential, either. But having a bachelor's degree and/or a career t…

The correlation is high enough that if you say educational/career developments aren't important, you are essentially also saying that proximity isn't important.

I am not understanding how you can separate proximity from educational/career development. Proximity naturally comes along with educational/career attainment, and without either of those proximity is very difficult to achieve unless you're from a wealthy family.

If proximity isn't important, then why do people care about networking for career development? And why do people have so much more trouble making friends as adults? I personally think that proximity is one of the most important features to help start a relationship.

more sexual liberation would lead to more polarity and hierarchy in the sexual market sexual liberation initially was about freeing women from financial dependence on men, which would tend to make it harder for men to get sex.

The biggest reason for the gender gap in suicides is that men more often use a gun, and a gun is more deadly than other methods.

All im saying is men deserve their looks match This is the crux of it. You think that men deserve to be awarded a woman simply by virtue of existing.

If you balance the requirements appropriately, it’s not an unfair relationship, the thing is that the more disparate the attributes are the more difficult it is to say if they’re a fair balance.

That’s true, having a high N count is easier for women if they are attempting to rack it up, so if you value a high N it’s fair to say something like “a man needs to have an N count of at least 10 and a woman needs an N count of at least 20” or something like that, idk what the exact numbers should be. I would say though that not having sex with anyone is equally difficult for people of any gender, so if you value a low N count you should have the same N count yourself or lower.

The basic ethical principle behind not having standards you don’t live up to is that it’s a form of unjust dishonesty and hypocrisy to hold yourself to a lesser standard than you hold others. The reason that shared values/interests/styles are less controversial as metrics for selecting a partner are (a) it’s immediately apparent how they’re relevant to a relationship, (b) there isn’t consensus on which options are “better” so rejection has more of the connotation of “I think we’re not right for …

Probably it wouldn’t wreck my relationship with the bi woman I’m dating, but it would be a shock for sure. Putting aside the initial cost of switching and just looking at where I …

I’m not saying that women who are attracted to bad people have no responsibility for it. I’m saying that being a murderer isn’t attractive in and of itself. Being famous is, and being a murderer is one way to get famous. But before he was famous no one wanted Elliot Rodger because his personality was terrible and he didn’t have anything to make up for it. In some ways it’s easier for women who’ve never met him to simp for him because they are interested in the idea of him as a famous person rath…

Oh no, Bundy is different. He was commonly seen as charismatic (part of what let him get away with it for as long as he did), and at some point he was dating multiple women at once. So maybe some of his fan mail was just edgy but I wouldn’t be surprised if some of it was women finding him genuinely appealing. IMO attractiveness is not determined by asshole-ishness, but there’s some correlation in that both the most attractive and the least attractive people are more likely to be assholes (attrac…

Nah it’s that either person should be able to say no to anything.

Women and men are equally likely to be in a LTR, so any difference is due to discrepancies in casual sex. For the typical woman, casual sex is about as easy to get as sex with a prostitute is for the average man - it’s readily available, but there are risks and costs. And for most women, casual sex isn’t any better at alleviating loneliness than sex with a prostitute is for the average man. Having sex with a stranger can be an incredibly lonely experience because it’s physical intimacy without e…

This disparity is mostly about the fact that men are more likely to rely on a romantic partner for their main or only intimate social connection whereas women are more likely to have intimate platonic friendships. The disparity in loneliness isn’t because of a dating disparity, it’s because men rely on dating to avoid loneliness and women don’t.

Comfort and familiarity do affect my sex drive, in a positive way. Polyamory for me doesn't have to do with novelty, it has to do with the fact that my primary partner has a lower libido than I do and the fact that I enjoy group sex. One of the main reasons we started poly was because the libido mismatch became more pronounced as I became more comfortable. When I first started dating my primary partner, he wanted sex once a week and I would have preferred more but was largely happy with that. Af…

No, I'm not arguing that men are as neurotic as women. As I said, Statistically, it's true that women on average have higher levels of neuroticism than men.

Most men do! And I think that's healthy. But based on personal experience I think it's a not-insignificant minority of men who abide by this trope (maybe ~10%), and I think a majority of men feel pressured by this trope and/or feel shame when they don't abide by it.

This is the problem when you ignore the philosophy behind stoicism.

Stoicism the philosophy advocates for behavior closer to Buddhist-style meditation and mindfulness training than what people in common parlance call stoicism. I don't know where you live, but in most parts of the western world this is not considered masculine.

IMO it is not harmful to recognize that there is a time and a place to display feelings, but it is harmful to practice stoic behavior as a default in intimate partner relationships or with close friends, because the act of hiding your emotions does not actually stop you from feeling those emotions, and communications break down when there is a mismatched understanding of the emotional situation. For example, a friend could think he is playfully teasing you while he's actually rubbing salt in the…

This rule has nothing to do with love and everything to do with my belief that being on the receiving end of anal gives you a unique perspective of the level of vulnerability and trust involved and more empathy about the need to be gentle.

Patience. Start working the size up slowly over the course of several weeks (maybe longer) using butt plugs that are worn for hours at a time to gradually stretch. Don’t be pushy about backing down to a lower size if it’s not a great day for a big size, listen to your partner, use a lot of lube, go slowly, don’t push farther in unless your partner is relaxed Edit to add: do NOT start with your dick unless you have a micropenis

I would say that there are a lot of personal grooming elements that won’t matter enough to most women for it to be a dealbreaker, but most women have a few individual elements which do matter. For me it’s having clean hands and short, even fingernails because that’s pretty important if you’re going to be doing any fingering, and fingering is a requirement for sex with me. And really major personal grooming issues will turn most women off, like if you never shower and constantly smell like piss. …

Socialism is essentially government control of capital. Capitalism is private control of capital. I generally agree with this definition, though I would say that when I think of a 100% socialist society it has high levels of government control over all essential infrastructure (public transportation, health care, banking, etc) but much lower levels of control over other forms of capital (homes, golf clubs, churches, etc). I would also note that when there are significant government regulations o…

Social safety nets is not to my opinion a socialist idea. It is in my thinking a capitalist idea, whereby you take excess capital and invest it into systems that limit the boom and bust cycle inherent with capitalism. What do you think socialism is? In a purely capitalist system, what makes CEOs prioritize long-term stability of the entire system over short-term profit for their individual companies? What incentives does a private company have to fund a social safety net that covers everyone?

It sidetracks the actual topic of discussion and makes it about me, me, me. Calling out that you were interrupted can be as non-invasive as saying "let me finish" or "wait, one more thing" leading right back into the topic you were discussing, and in this context it can help keep the conversation organized, because most often conversations start to go in a different direction when a new speaker interjects, because usually the new speaker has something to say which is different from what they wer…

Men walk on eggshells around women because y'all take every point of communication like a personal judgement. The dichotomy is that women get called aggressive or bitchy if they call out that were interrupted or refuse to give space for a man to make a comment, but if a woman yields speaking time to a man who's interrupting her, often he doesn't even recognize that he has interrupted her.

I definitely think people are inclined to be more polite to women in offline interactions, but online it's the opposite effect imo Interesting observation.

To start a successful business takes luck and at least one of good salesmanship or your own source of wealth for starter funds. The rest can be delegated to employees (e.g., it's not like Jeff Bezos writes and maintains all the code that keeps his empire running). It's true that some employees are unskilled and easy to replace, but most successful companies have some very capable and valuable employees. These employees are paid a lot because they have skills. The owner makes a lot of money becau…

Try other OLD sites. And/or get a friend to help you make your OLD profiles better. OLD doesn't all suck as much as tinder, and it's a better experience if your profile is high quality. Hitting on people in grocery stores when you're both wearing masks and trying to keep 6 ft apart and probably within earshot of kids and old people and you can't even see her facial expressions to judge whether she's at all interested sucks no matter how you do it.

Culture does change slowly in most cases, and it takes a long time to completely eradicate wrong-headed traditional ideas, but the rate of change isn't entirely outside our control, and significant incremental change can happen within a lifetime.

Do you think the shorter sentences for women should be classified as a “legal privilege” when there are no laws suggesting that women should get shorter sentences? It is something that happens in the legal system, yes, but it isn’t written into any law, all of these results are because of the prejudices/discretion of individual human beings. If we had different cultural stereotypes, the results could be different without changing any laws.

Many of those girls just want to flirt for attention and little more. Possible?

I'm sure your alpha fucks had beta characteristics too. I don’t really get how you are defining alpha and beta characteristics, but I don’t think you’re using the standard definitions people think of.

For a reasonable person, sure. Not everyone is reasonable though, there are plenty of redpillers who have been blinded by their personal struggles in a way which is unreasonable, and for them it is very easy to take AWALT literally.
