Yeah, that's an anonymous survey based completely on self-reporting.

In my experience, men are much more likely to be suffering from the Dunning-Krueger effect, so I'm not inclined to take a bunch of self-reported claims seriously.


There's a reason why most bankers, stock brokers and financial advisors are men. It's not that women would be incapable to become a successful banker rather "mother nature" made us different for certain reasons modern society try to cover up by saying there's no difference between genders.

Tell us some more about how women can't be autistic.

I'm curious to see how quickly you can manage to get yourself banned, and if you'll have any idea why when it happens. From your comments I'm going to guess you're not particularly self-aware, so my guess is that you'll be banned soon and have no clue why, no matter how carefully the moderators who do so point out the posting rules and where you've broken them.

Sure, dude. Whatever you say.

OK, but what about guys like me who can kinda see both sides but are left wondering: "What do I do about it, so that I can have reasonable chances to form relationships that will be reasonable and positive for both of us? Can't change the world so what can we realistically do to try to make things better?"

I don't know for certain for the other people in this topic but at least for me I view "improving my chances/options" as in trying to have more than 0-1 possible choices out of 100 women. I don't want to feel as though I may have to settle for an abusive/toxic/ :skull: relationship or else be alone. I think having virtually no options is how a lot of people end up in those situations.

There's a settlement in trouble!

I'll mark it on your map.....

You might want to be careful posting self-portraits on here, they can be used against you to dox you. Safety first!

I love these argumentative threads. They're even better than pro wrestling.

What are "both sides"? Is that like the president of the US talking about Charlottesville and how there was violence "on both sides"?

I'm doing an experiment to see how big the weight standards are for them, I'm atm about 40 pounds overweight and have about zero interest from women and I'll see at which weight the interest really begins (if it begins).

I'm about 30 pounds overweight.

When I was younger, I was 40 pounds overweight at one point. I had more interest from women then than when I was running marathons and I weighed in the 140s.

I maybe exaggerated with the zero attention but it is most likely true that I'll get significantly more attention at lower fat percent and weight since I will lose puffiness from face and my 'moobs' and stomach.

It's weird lol....but it's the truth.

I was thought of as scrawny when I was of "normal" weight for a 5 foot 5 guy.
