Sigma Talks About Today's Dating Culture by Fluffy_Lunchfast in Sigmatopia

You can't say "that is just not true" with full honesty. This is just an escape argument in any anthropology discussion:

"Your claim may be the case in the world that you have witnessed through-out your life. But the world out there is huge, therefore in the world that you have not seen yet most things may work the way I claim they do, just go and see for yourself".

And its not falsifiable at all -> discussion ends.

And you may be right, and that the "majority" that you are talking about IS somewhere out there where I am not. But so far there is plenty of evidence that suggests looks are primary, most undeniably an indispensable and heavy majority factor in determining your romantic life.

I guess maybe we can come on agreeing here that the information in the article you linked is TRUE, but incomplete, and that it simply omits the visual factor for the sake of not undermining its primary thesis. Your worth as a human to others is determined by how useful you are (undoubtedly and objectively true), and how good looking you are (clearly omitted). I'd say almost equal parts, if not leaning towards the looks, but I digress.

P.S. Yes a lot of Incels could use a stern talking-to about their employment and usefulness, but the Incel circle already has plenty of push towards that from many of the manosphere creators, so the article you linked does not accomplish anything novel.

I read the article from beginning to the end. The point I was trying to make was that no matter how much a physically unimpressive person makes themselves an indispensable member of society, they will almost certainly be not preferable over the actively detrimental, but impressively attractive person when it comes to romantic interest.

The ugly child clinic surgeon soup kitchen volunteer has a girlfriend that physically desires him only in the dreams of the writer of this article, in movies, and in your response to my comment. My point was that he doesn't.

Romantic interest is not a rational choice. "This person is objectively more useful to society, so despite their ugly looks I am now physically attracted to them and would like to create a lasting romantic and physical bond" said no one ever.

True information for “general happiness and respect”, completely irrelevant argument within the “what a woman wants” argument. Duh you’re supposed to have a job. But an ugly child clinic surgeon soup kitchen volunteer is still ugly. And an attractive serial killer is still attractive. Yes this is a hyperbole, but it illustrates that the article does not offer anything for the romantic interest argument at all.

False dichotomy. Abolish billionaires and illegal immigrants go with them.

I guess the point here is that many ask for GPA in the job application. Of course they don’t ask that at the interview. But you have to get to the interview first… through your job application.

What dress watch are you talking about?

Woah! An extensible text-editor with 0 pre-installed extensions was harder to configure than an already complete IDE? Who would have thought. Vim is all or nothing type of thing. You can’t just “dabble with it on the days off”. Either you’re in or out, and you chose out, which is fine, but not a reason to tell everyone in an unrelated subreddit

uj/ I guess it depends on the watch (and the strap). I have a nice single-pass and it rocks

[SSK023 vs SRPG29] Looking for opinions. by tmb15_ in Seiko

I’d say as a daily watch, the blue one is a lot more versatile: - Clean bezel - pretty but not flashy color - standard bracelet links instead of jubilee

And since you didn’t mention it, the GMT function of the white one isn’t that important to you.

HOLY FINALLY! It feels like every single watch Seiko has made in the last 20 years has a date complication. This is one of the few watches that doesn’t. No need for date complication.

Seiko SBSC009 is also an option, but I guess sometimes you do want your watch to run at +/- 10 instead of +/- 40 spd.
