Why does 9/11 matter so much but not the many far more horrible atrocities that the US regularly supports or commits (and that 9/11 was partly a response to). Clearly some lives ar…

How do you know if what women find attractive is a result of societal pressure or freedom? Again, do you think women's extreme racial "preferences" in dating are a result of freedo…

It was a false statement. You clearly would not stick up for short or ethnic men the way you do for women (who are already heavily privileged). Who determines what's attractive? Ar…

Men are definitely far less picky on average, for biological reasons, but that's not even related to this discussion. Hating half of humanity? What are you going on about? You made…

"How about actually having a likable personality, which easily tops all other qualities?" So do you now agree this statement is obviously false? Height is just one of the first fil…

I don't buy that. If we use the example of height alone, the vast majority of women would not date a man shorter than them regardless of whether the man has a "likable personality"…

Nearly everyone has physical dealbreakers, and height is a very socially acceptable one that the vast majority of women have. Most women also filter on somewhat less politically co…

What if someone did the same thing to black women? It seems only some "standards" are acceptable.

There was some mating skew no doubt. But that number is total nonsense and the study does not show that.

This is not true. Steroids have huge effects other than recovery, they'll provoke far greater response for the same amount of work.
