Stop looking up "research, studies and statistics"

Problem isn't looking up studies, the problem is that the majority of people are grossly uneducated in science and statistics even in today's society, to even know how to interpret, understand or even check studies, and what sources are appropiate vs what aren't.

Most people don't know what an efect size, an R Square or a P value is. Nor do they know that just because there's a study proving something doesn't really mean it's scientifically proven - You need to make multiple studies with multiple methodologies and replications to claim something as a scientific fact. People don't even know how to use Sci Hub to access scientific papers, nor even what Sci Hub is. People think that a random magazine article covering some study or a study released by the BI department of a dating apps company are legit sources, when they aren't.

No one study would ever prove that tallter men make more money. A study SUGGESTS (code word: SUGGESTS) that ON AVERAGE, and controlling for all the possible moderating variables as much as possible, Taller men TEND to make more money AS IN COMPARISON to shorter men. The exact difference in money making and what taller stature means is something to check on the study. What is "taller"? 5'5+ vs 5'5- ?. You get the point...

So yeah, people should educate themselves more on science and statistics instead of taking whatever they read on magazines and forums at face value just because there's an alleged study "proving" something.

Can you tell that to the "normal" people who read a Vice article and start assuming non NT guys are serial killers?

Tbf, going entirely on anecdote, using three people in your life to extrapolate to the entire global population, and layering your biases on what you see to draw the incorrect conclusion, isn’t good either. Some reading on psychology and sociology can be beneficial if it’s from reputable sources, like licensed mental health professionals and clinical researchers. But I would recommend books.

I agree, plus I know plenty of short men who make really good money. My ex was only 5'4" and was an aircraft inspector making really good money. And I know many coworkers at work who are short guys who make good money too. Nobody really cares that much about height when it comes to employment, they just want someone who can do their job competently.

I agree, I see a lot of people lose sleep over what women find most attractive and I just say in the words of Kevin Samuels(I know we hate that guy but I think this statement makes sense): “how much pussy do you need man?”

If one woman out of a 7 billion loved me for me that’s all that matters. Idc about being a player and whatnot.

Why do you want me not to see the truth?

TrUsT the ScIeNCe, why are you so uneducated.... It doesn't fit my narrative/reality, study is flawed, technicality, context matters, exceptions, you need to read between the lines, and the best, scientific studies are all flawed.

My significant other spent years doing this and it was an absolute fucking drag. Having to listen to them drone on and on about these mind numbing minutia on the human psyche.

That said, they were studying for a PhD in psychology.

Don't pretend watching YouTube videos from some NEET is the same as developing your sources to max your associated IMPACT factor.

Also fun fact she literally wrote a paper on hikikomori.

Many people in the rp market themselves as self help gurus so they give off the overconfidence idea that they know what they are talking about, until they get a real scientist and even students like myself who dispute their claims and run circles around their ideas without even trying.

We shouldn't be over generalizing the world. While studies do carry some truth about human nature, everyone having the same traits and experiences is just a silly conclusion to jump to. Be around the people you like, then you will be living a happy life. If you are disappointed with the people around you, go look for others.
