Anytime a man dares to make any sort of statement about women’s collective behavior or patterns they observe firsthand, they are immediately slapped with the classic “women are not a monolith” and are emphatic about how unique and individualistic they are in their thought processes and personal tastes and opinions.
Any man who has spent even a short time in the dating world knows this couldn’t be further from the truth. Women invariably base their opinions of men on how others perceive him, particularly other women.
Some examples that serve as clear evidence of this are:
women will rebuff the advances of even men they are genuinely attracted to when it is a cold approach, but if the same or an even less attractive man was introduced to them through a “mutual” acquaintance (not friends) they immediately trust them and will completely let their guard down. If it’s a friend of a friend I understand, but often the commonality of simply being at the same party is enough for a woman to trust a guy. Yet no matter how smooth, charming and comforting a guy is it usually goes nowhere without someone’s preapproval.
women consistently demonstrate the powerful attraction they have to men who are taken. Preselection by other women is one of if not THE most powerful aphrodisiacs. Seeing that another women desires a man is simply intoxicating to them. On top of the obvious moral issues here, this again demonstrates how much women truly depend on the opinions and validation of other women before feeling attracted to men while simultaneously maintaining how independent they are in their taste and judgements
as mentioned in my previous thread, women are heavily influenced by their circle of friends. If one of them disapproves of him it’s almost always game over. Despite what the blue pillers in here will have you believe, women most certainly will NOT go out of their way to make it happen regardless of how “interested” they are. As they love to say, “dick is abundant and of low value,” and looks alone are not enough to seal the deal (their exact words over and over,) an attractive guy is not enough to break her away from the herd. Similarly, a girl can be all about a dude and the second he becomes socially maligned or even simply mocked or talked about in a slightly negative light they will completely lose interest.
Lastly, and possibly most asonishingly, the way women respond in unison to every new “heartthrob” or sex symbol that comes along is perhaps the epitome of this phenomenon, particularly when the guy is objectively average or even unattractive. Robert Pattinson, Channing Tatum, Taylor Lautner, I even heard girls saying how hot POST MALONE was. Clearly again this has absolutely zero to do with physical appearance and everything to do with girls following the herd mentality that drives so much of their behavior.

Marketers have known for decades that people are hiveminds, to a pretty large degree.
It's almost absurdly easy to exploit, too - you can put laughing and smiling people in a commercial, everyone will know EXACTLY what you're trying to do, and yet they'll still respond better to your product.
Don't delude yourself that men are different. You're hypersensitive to when women behave this way because it affects your dating prospects, but men do basically exactly the same shit.
I would guess that less than 1 in 100,000 people are capable of being genuinely original thinkers to the extent we currently think we are. (And no, I don't think I'm that 1 in 100,000)

Men are different you dolt.
There is a lot of psychological and biological evidence that shows a certain trend: Women show less variance to one another than men do.
Men are less likely than women to conform to social trends. Men are less likely to change their beliefs because someone told them to. Even when there are social incentives against it, men will continue being deviant in actions and words. There are so many ways that men could conform and be like a hivemind, but they don't, and this is a big reason why men are more likely to be autistic and antisocial compared to women. Even autistic women are more likely to share interests and hobbies with non autistic women.
[–]TodoBienTodoBonito1 points [recovered] (8 children) | Copy Link
It is absolutely bizarre that out of all the psychology assessing sex differences in peer influence, you managed to link... a very specific hypothesis that DOESN'T have anything to do with it.
Seriously, did you read your own link? Those are all cognitive ability studies my dude, not peer influence and empathy.
If you were actually in touch with the literature — hint: you're not — you'd be aware of a wide range of evidence showing areas where women are more influenced, and areas where men are more influenced. It's a mixed bag.
The conclusion overall is simply that people are highly influenced by peers.
[–]Lakeyute 12 points13 points14 points (0 children) | Copy Link
[–]andtheywontstopcomin1 points [recovered] (5 children) | Copy Link
the variability hypothesis is extremely relevant. It says that women are more likely to be similar to each other, meaning they will more likely think the same way and behave as a hivemind.
You're actually slow as fuck if you think your papers said ANYTHING related to your argument. You cited one paper where adolescent boys are more likely to engage in risk based behavior, but that has nothing to do with peer influence when you think about hormonal and physiological factors. Men would engage in those behaviors regardless of peer influence.
There's a massive amount of data showing that women are less likely to question social norms, and therefore more likely to go along with the crowd. Apart from evolutionary psychology, there's a lot of normal sociological studies that support this. Women tend to have similar personalities as one another with little variation compared to men.
Also, men score higher on individuality metrics, meaning they are less likely to change their beliefs to fit their peers. This is obvious, just look at how men behave now. You're coping so hard lol
[–]TodoBienTodoBonito1 points [recovered] (3 children) | Copy Link
Fixed that for you. You can't extrapolate mathematical & verbal test distributions to social effects lmao, how is this not obvious?
This is LITERALLY in the first sentence of the abstract and the title of the study. How the hell did you even open the link while still missing this?
If X% of men would engage in risk taking behaviour without influence, and Y% engage in risk taking behaviour after their peers do it first... If Y is higher than X, those men are being influenced.
Not difficult.
Fixed for you.
Look mate, I'm not going to argue with assertions you're randomly whipping out of your ass faster than your bead set. If I knock one down you'll just make up another.
But you simply just don't know what you're doing here. You're seriously trying to cite a fucking Wiki page on a HYPOTHESIS as evidence for completely unrelated claims, and your brain freaks out and shuts down when someone shows you actual literature.
This isn't worth my time. Take care.

Women behave as hive mind when it comes to selecting / vetting men in the mating process.
OP is taking about female behaviour. So, men's behaviour is far less important here.
[–]TodoBienTodoBonito1 points [recovered] (8 children) | Copy Link
... right, but I think you've missed the point.
I'm not disagreeing with OP, I'm just pointing out that this phenomenon isn't localised to women or dating.
If someone posted "Men are less likely to date someone with an active ebola case", you'd probably muse that EVERYBODY is more likely to avoid ANY contact with active ebola victims lol. Same thing.

Men and women are both "hiveminds" but for different reasons.
Men, for example, are generally slaves to their dicks and social approval.

The thing about this is women are only looking at the top 20-5% of men. They're the only men that exist in their brains. So when those guys have standards that match them, they're "unrealistic beauty standards" for most women.
They say "all men" but they're incapable of noticing 80% of men. Just like when they say "they have no options" what they mean is they have no options that they want.
When a man says he has no options it's just literally true.

Acquaintances knowing someone and vouching for them is still safer than getting together with some random who cold approached you in public. Why would you find it even remotely weird that women would prefer dating someone that is at least known by people in their social circle (and therefore at the bare minimum capable of socializing with other people at the most basic level) over someone that they know nothing about - other than the guy must've thought they were hot since they cold approached a stranger.

Most folks might tend to examine their own contribution as the common denominator in repeated unsuccessful interactions, just as most folks who smell dog crap everywhere they go eventually check their own shoes…

There is a lot of psychological and biological evidence that shows a certain trend: Women show less variance to one another than men do.
Men are less likely than women to conform to social trends. Men are less likely to change their beliefs because someone told them to. Even when there are social incentives against it, men will continue being deviant in actions and words. There are so many ways that men could conform and be like a hivemind, but they don't, and this is a big reason why men are more likely to be autistic and antisocial compared to women. Even autistic women are more likely to share interests and hobbies with non autistic women.

New Zealand writer Madeleine Holden said it on Twitter in 2014, and it was co-opted for an article by writer Alana Massey in 2016, specifically in reference to the imbalance of men vs women on Tinder.
All it meant was "women, don't settle, there are plenty of men out there", but the manosphere bristled and frequently take it out of context.

It's not a very nice thing to say, but based on the dick pics I've received, the unwanted attention from gross old married men, and the constant complaint that men vastly outnumber women on dating apps: there is a grain of truth in it.

I get it. Men are comparatively indiscriminate compared to women and most don't seem to care about who women are as people at all. Women can live a polar opposite lifestyle, a diametrically opposed socioeconomic background; if a man likes her face and body, he's all in. So for every moderately attractive woman of any personality or lifestyle, there are 10-20 men who would try to date her.
When men start caring about women as people rather than objects, maybe things will change.

Second reference I’ve seen to 65 year old comedian Paula Poundstone here. I looked her up last time. She was semi-famous in the early 80s, most of her routine was about her cats waiting by her shower.
If Poundstone is your benchmark for humor, you may not be the best judge of who is funny and popular today.

Interesting. Every year highly trained police officers are shot while carrying; sometimes with their own gun. And you think giving guns to preteen girls will solve the problem?
Pretty sure adding a weapon to an already vulnerable target is only going to increase her risk.

Mmm hmm. Men are more often victims of crime because they are more likely to engage in risky behavior like substance abuse, gang activity, verbal and physical assault, and going where crimes are more likely to occur, such as going out alone after dark, traveling on public transport, attending sporting events and other places testosterone is king, going to bars, parties, and the "bad" parts of town.
Women are more likely to be in the home because they have family responsibilities there. Because they are afraid to travel alone after dark, because they are less likely to engage in gang activity, because they are less likely to engage in substance abuse, because they are less likely to hit sporting events or bars alone.
When women change their behavior to mimic what men do and where women go, women end up raped behind a dumpster outside a bar. Hence the reason women apply far more caution, because reason and prudence.

It is easier for women to rely on other women to pick a mate. That is why they like married men. Even if they have to share him. For men it is better to compete and get the most women as prizes.
Both gender are very cruel if the parts are not civilized.

I think this is why women are so keen to gossiping/talking with their friends about their sex lives with their boyfriends and just talking about other women in general that they know. They seem far more interested and likely to do this than men. Mostly to grade their man against their friends’ expectations. Constant checking and balancing. It makes no sense to me and I think a woman’s friends can many times complicate an otherwise good relationship. Naturally friends CAN give good advice but Becky might give horrible advice to Jenny if she’s going through a breakup, had a bad day at work, or is on her period.

I mainly see girls 15 - 22 and mindlessly like a monolith lol they all want the guys that they know other girls are already into & with. Girls are much more attracted to guys with cute girlfriends, regardless of the quality of the man this drastically boost attraction. But make no mistake this pre selection makes women’s hind brains go crazy with desire too it just applies to knowing you are having a lot of sex with other women. No matter who the girl is she will want to be apart of that.
