When I was in the military, plenty of guys I knew married dumpster fire women in order to get out of the dorms and receive the raise in their paychecks. Men are just statistically, more likely to be physically violent.

Also, internet dating sites are sh_t. Most women I know IRL don't date violent psychopaths. Maybe place the blame on stupid PEOPLE as opposed to women.


Quote:
Evolutionary biologists would call "bad boys" hypermasculine, explains Michael R. Cunningham, Ph.D., professor and psychologist at the University of Louisville. “These men ooze testosterone, which leads to boldness and is associated with exaggerated sexuality,” he says. They may also be rebellious or emotionally unavailable, says Madeleine A. Fugère, Ph.D., professor of psychology at Eastern Connecticut State University and author, Social Psychology of Attraction and Romantic Relationships. https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/life/r ... -bad-boys/


Quote:
Apparently, we want their sperm — but not necessarily their partnership.

Science, in particular evolutionary biology, partially explains why bad boys can be so compelling. Dr. Fugère says research shows women are more attracted to masculine men during the middle of their menstrual cycle, when they’re most fertile. “Men with very masculine traits may have better quality genes, so it could be attractive to women on an unconscious evolutionary level,” she notes. https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/life/r ... -bad-boys/

I don't think you're the oracle of truth Pepe.

"Good" vs. "bad" genetics isn't a whole lot more scientific than eugenics.

You think you're so cool... 8) :|

Can you explain why the Fifty Shades of Grey (And Twilight!) was so phenomenally popular among women; and not among men?

Surely not all of these fans are “Internet dating” women.

Besides, the Tinder became so mainstream - like facebook - is the first dating app that became that mainstream.
It has 50 Millions users base while the 2nd in place Okc has only 1 million.

It's not men or women who are collectively guilty of normalizing sexual violence, it's a subgroup of impulsive, shortsighted people looking though a house of mirrors on the internet.

I care about these people too & I wish they could be peacefully made aware of the consequences of this.

Let's face it, it's only since the 1970s that women have stopped being housewives and starting taking contraceptives and started sleeping around. That's virtually yesterday.

So the strongest drivers for what an NT woman looks for in a man remain looks, strength, social status and wealth.

A strong man will protect them and their progeny so the aggressive bad boy still has its merits.

I think people as a whole becoming desensitized to violence is a part of these issues.

Essentially I don't even blame stupid people, we're everywhere, this is a sort of philosophy problem.
I don't know about the rest of the world but the violence in America is rapidly increasing over the last few years.

I think it's a common fantasy; Fifty Shades' verdict is that even a poor, boring and crybaby lady can have a sexy billionaire interested in her who will appease all her desires and save the day.

I'm pointing out that making yourself the arbiter of what good & bad genes are is a lousy move for anyone.

I don't sense any scientific truth here whatsoever. Move over, I am busy evolving on my own.

Are you saying you think *I* think *I'm* "the arbiter of what good & bad genes" are?

I don't really think everyone needs to blindly lean into the idea that there's nothing more than social darwinism at play here.

I'm saying you could stand to tone it down about this oracle of truth crap. One dude's black & white interpretation of the facts isn't suited to everyone.

tl;dr Don't make all our lives out to be a grand evolutionary contest, it's cloying & juvenile.

I'm not asking anyone to do that. 8)
I am simply building on my experience/knowledge base.

This is quintessentially the aspie way.
So far, I haven't heard a better alternative from anyone. 8O

You don't understand my satire. 8O
Quote:
Satire is using humor, exaggeration, and/or irony to expose human vices or foolishness. In the simplest of terms, it is using humor to make fun of a very serious subject in order to point out human foolishness.

You've made it abundantly clear that you can act above everyone & still get laughs from those naive enough to think it's all in jest.

I'm not here to give you an argument, I'm here to denounce this inflammatory language wrapped up in sociology. You can challenge a guy's philosophy, but this is pushing it.
