Unprovoked 'one punch' attacks are now subject to harsh penalties in Australia unless the perpetrator is a woman in which case she gets off with a small fine as usual.

I mean generally? Yeah. "Competency" is just too vague of a word but everybody does not want a non-competent partner.

[–]aries0413 19 points20 points21 points 3 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Most men have zero shot on dating apps. 95% of women go after 1% of the men.

[–]Arael666 9 points10 points11 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I get what you mean, but its more like 80 to 20. We dont need to inflate the numbers to make a point, it is pointless to go into dating apps if you're not the in the top 20%

[–]Melkor7410 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

That 80/20 rule applies to many things, and it is true inside of itself usually. 20% of people receive 80% of the attention, and if you looked further in, you'd probably find that 20% of that original 20% receives 80% of the attention of those, etc. So 4% received 64% of all the attention, which would in theory mean 0.8% received 51.2% of the attention. Not sure how well the data holds against this set as I haven't looked at it, but there's many data sets that show this 80/20 rule, and it usually applies at any scale.

In news that should surprise no one, the bigger the guy’s bank account, the sexier he is.

Hold on. That sounds like the world’s oldest profession.

Still remember just how much better looking I became when I got that M.D. All of my friends and family noticed, too.

A woman would monkey branch to a higher earner....shocker.

[–]flossraptor 3 points4 points5 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

This is a terrible analysis. Here's a better one:

When women are inundated with male attention online, they don't search through the profiles for men interested in long term relationships (as the author suggests). They simply pick the most attractive men.

The problem is that women cannot be attracted to normal men from just a photo. Women are only attracted to normal men after interacting with them. Attraction for women is largely psychological. In order for a woman to be attracted to a man based on some photos alone, that guy has to be at the top levels of attractiveness.

However, while men at the top level of attractiveness may be willing to have sex with less attractive women, they are only willing to have a committed relationship with the most attractive women.

So now we have a situation where women are having sex with the most attractive men within a radius of hundreds of miles. (It was once the case that you'd only ever met people in your town.) These women are being driven insane, confused by why men they date are always married, or have other girlfriends, and will never settle down. Meanwhile they believe that 80% of men are below average in attractiveness.

"Even highly competent men received less attention than women with low levels of competency."

This is true everywhere, not just dating apps.

[–]Due_Cancel_3296 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Easy to resolve. Just literally focus on yourself. Sure, approach women, etc, but at the end of the day don’t be thirsty. My wife is hotter than me and I know it but never show it and stop all of her shit tests and I will most likely be the one to leave her at some point.

[–]RatDontPanic 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I didn't approach women much. My wife approached me on a dating website. It's rare but possible to succeed living that way.

[–]JosephSmithSux 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I would like Psychology Today to run a follow up article about why guys should put forth that much effort to date crazy chicks.
