| I am reasonably certain that the scientific method requires the claim of hypergamy to prove itself true in order to be taken as true - as opposed to simply taking it as true unless and until proven false. A common logical fallacy in action. There's a difference between a woman who's not interested i... |

| Above I mentioned individuals downplaying their faults and exaggerating their attributes - your friend above sounds like he falls into that category. One does not typically get called a mama's boy simply for "loving one's mother". It's usually applied to individuals who have an unhealthy a... |

| An anecdote I've read about: Robert Pattinson, of Twilight fame, definitely checks off the boxes of young, athletic, attractive, rich, famous, etc - things supposedly prioritized by most women. Pattinson shares a story where he had a female stalker, hounding him for a date, relationship, etc. So he ... |

Today I went to the beach with my dad and his doggo, did some leg stretches, and practiced this pose to the best of my ability https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41LZ6iqyTGL._SL500_.jpg Being able to stand with one leg straight out, lower into the ... |

| To elaborate further: Here's how it's been subverted. The intended point of the 80/20 rule, in business, is to find out what those 20% most effective inputs are, and focus on those - or to find your worst practices, and stop them - in the name of efficiency. Where the incel mentality co-opts the con... |

| The issue with "watching" or "observing" is it's still not an EXPERIENCE. No amount of watching Top Gun can really give you an idea of what it's like to experience several Gs of acceleration. No amount of watching NASCAR can truly inform you of what it's like to drive 200mph in a... |

| Imagination typically draws upon lived experience in order to generate imagined experiences, either realistic or unrealistic. If one has never been in any sort of relationship, one has no basis of reference to draw upon for what it could possibly be like. The same is true for many things, and many e... |

| Final Fantasy 14 has really impressed me with how nice the community is. There are a few bad apples, but most people are totally chill, and bad behavior isn't taken lightly by the mods and devs. The community is remarkably good at self-policing, with other members reporting violations they see.

| The 80/20 percent "thing" just sounds like a subversion of the Pareto Principle, in order to justify more "hypergamy" rubbish from a different angle. The concept of the Pareto Principle is meant to express that 80% of outcomes are the result of only 20% of the inputs. Basically, ... |

Like many people on the spectrum and even those who are NT I have self-esteem issues. This is probably a vain thing to say but I enjoy wearing dress clothes and suits because it increa... |

| Has anyone here gotten good at something without practising it? Well, why would one expect social skills to work differently? Like with any skill, people want to have the skill, but still don't like to put in the work. It's why some ppl invent narratives that assert that NTs are "just born wit... |

While some leagues are genders specific, most fencing leagues already have men and women fencing against each other, and co-ed fencing is a common and acce... |

The only stork lore I've heard of in the USA is the one about storks bringing babies. I am unable to find reference t... |
