I see these over and over again. I'm sure I'm categorising these badly, though they are all fallacies. It annoys me to see them constantly brought up. Feel free to add your own.

  1. False equivalency (i think this is what it's called)

"There are two genders, men and women. Therefore the difficulty in dating or social lives for each gender is 100 % / 2 genders = 50 % per gender."

I see this all the time.

"The median man and median women both have the same difficulty in dating [because they are both medians of their gender]." "A fat man and fat women both have the same difficulty in dating [because they are both equally fat]."

The square brackets show the implied reasoning, which is just wacky.

  1. Ignorance of evidence

I feel like if everybody knew that Tinder or other dating sites resulted in much higher average message rate or inbox for women, and a lower rate for men, it would save everyone a huge amount of time. It seems obvious the median female gets much more responses than the median man.

I would say that that is the main one that keeps having to be brought up. Do we need to see it brought up in every topic as if it's some secret of the universe that is hugely debatable?

I guess you could respond that men are expected to message but when you look at Tinder's swiping as an initial filter of approval (which isn't present on regular dating sites), it shows that the median woman receives a lot more approval.

  1. Just world

"Does an attractive man have an easier time in the social world than a less attractive man?"

"No, because he has a worse personality."

Well, clearly there was an assumption that we were talking about an attractive man and less attractive man, all else equal. If you think that personality or any other trait is overwhelmingly important then say so, but don't answer as if the question wasn't assuming that all else was equal.

"Women find it easier than men to date when they're younger, therefore they'll find it harder to date when they're older."
