| I agree taking college classes is a big social opportunity for me atm. I am 27 and moving on from my youth, and I think I am in the last of my "window of opportunity" to be able to carry on with college-age girls and it not be too creepy, with too much of an age gap.

| I should clarify that Cordelia Fine's book (Delusions of Gender) actually debunks a lot of these sex/gender differences on a statistical - and not anecdotal/individual - basis. The book was not subject to peer-review and its statistics are thus irrelevant. It is an feminist agenda driven book which... |

There are differences in the behavior of each gender throughout the animal kingdom. Do savannah lions have some "repressive patriarchal culture" that cause differences in t... |

| Not true. It is much harder to be at the bottom of the totem pole if you are a man rather than a woman. That is because sucessful men (or bad boy PUA) tend to monopolize multiple women, while the less attractive men are left to do without. When monogamy was enforced by patriarchal religious customs... |
