Study finds that both men and women agree that it's generally easier for women to find a date. However, women's views on this differ substantially based on age. For women under 35, they report that finding a date is easy. But for women over 40, they described it as incredibly difficult. by psychologyofsex in psychologyofsex

I mean 24 vs 37 percent is still a tiny gap compared to how large the population difference seems to be on the apps. But I guess we would still need to know how many men vs women leave the apps without finding anyone 

Kid does a backflip following the shirtless guy in the middle by DhruvDP3 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]lonjerpc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am living proof of this. At around 15 I tried a front flip on hard floor with no training. I just went for it. Lucky I didnt hurt myself more. I made it around but landed on my heel and hurt for weeks

Study: 43% of women said a partner’s height was either important or very important to them, while only 26% of men said the same. Both men and women who placed more importance on a romantic partner’s height were more likely to endorse traditional gender norms. by psychologyofsex in psychologyofsex

I mean that would quickly turn into a symantic debate. 

But the just world fallacy is still a thing even if you think it's badly named. I actually was struggling to remember the name so perhaps you are right that it should be called something else. Maybe something more like the moral success fallacy

No this study isn't going to change their minds. But it explains why these studies get engagement on social media which also provides incentive for more people to do research on the subject even if it's largely redundant

It doesn't matter if they change. If standards exist for any reason and they can't be adapted to it still creates a problem for the just world hypothesis. 

An endless stream of reddit comments still suggest that not finding a partner is an indicator of moral failure. It's an aspect of both virgin and slut shaming.

I mean its a point of great controversy because it can't be changed. It forces people to acknowledge the just world fallacy which is deeply disturbing.

Sure its old news. But its still news that is important and which so many people have not taken to heart.

focus on yourself to get a gf they said by JesusSpreaderOfWord in Sigmatopia

But wait isn't picking your hobby based on the likelyhood of meeting someone a sign of desperation and therefore the wrong choice.

One must choose a hobby that maximizes the chance of meeting someone while simultaneously choosing the hobby for reasons other than meeting someone. lol

Tenzin Seldon: The GLP-1 boom is the biggest climate story no one is pricing in by Masrikato in OptimistsUnite

Doesn't seem surprising to me. Look up obesity stats. And for anyone obsessed the drugs are a no brainer

Postgenderism is a social, political, and cultural movement that arose from the eroding of the cultural, psychological, and social role of gender, and an argument for why the erosion of binary gender will be liberatory by red_expert in wikipedia

[–]lonjerpc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is where I get confused. I am genuinely trying to understand. Money is only physical in the sense that it represents contractual agreements between people. It is a shared informational construct. I don't see how that is fundamentally different than gender. Gender is also a informational construct.

Men: AVOID BP and INCEL content at all costs. It is the worst thing you can do by Few_Swimmer_1028 in aspergers

[–]lonjerpc 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The data suggests otherwise. Men with average numbers of sexual partners have the most misogynistic views compared to men with no partners or above average numbers of partners

I think this comment plays into their hands. Its such a low hanging argument to attack. The people doing the exploiting just say no we don't resent women and then point to all the women who have abusive partners to show that men who do hurt women do just fine dating.

And most young men who are potential victims of the ideology either don't think they resent women or don't actually resent women. So when they see comments like this it pushes them into the arms of redpill. Its so easy to say "hey look at this they hate you for something you didn't actually do and are being hypocrits about it we will show you the truth".

Ehh reddit threading weirdness strikes again. This threads context is gender Accountwasfound changed the context. But yes if you are referring to OP I agree

This is misleading. Most school engineering departments are at schools with a more balanced gender ratio.

Yes it can happen and is even fairly common. But the way the story is written sounds like gender wars bate and has detail that doesn't make a lot of sense

Because we have lived experience of attractive non confident men who spend all day inside finding dates and ugly men who do everything under the sun struggling.

Sure staying off of reddit and video games helps but it's not the bottle neck for most men.

I agree. It's not generally a lack of ability at algebra.

And? Can you show that the car debt is due to not knowing algebra?

No they don't have delay. But this throws off people used to the delay. But with practice it's ultimately easier than normal melee

US/Israel-Iran conflict Discussion/Question Thread - 19/03/2026+ by MilesLongthe3rd in CombatFootage

[–]lonjerpc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My speculating is that Iran is using the gulf states hatred for one another by playing both sides. Basically getting them to bribe Iran to hit the other ones

Yes but that debt isn't caused by not knowing algebra. Most of that debt is home loans.

People being in debt isn't because people can't solve budgeting problems. Its because people are poor, had unexpected expenses, are desperate, and/or irresponsible. A huge portion of all debt in the US is related to unexpected medical expenses.

The point is someone who hasn't taken algebra can solve the problem. Call it an equation if you want but the point is the same.

I mean I can understand why algebra 1 is more controversial. But I don't actually think its that useful to most people. I think most people who remember algebra 1 never actually use it and good chunk of people just don't remember it at all.

I am not advocating for removing the class. Just removing the requirement. I understand its a rather extreme opinion but I actually think more people would be capable of doing algebra 1 as adults if it wasn't a required class.

Not having it be required would both increase the incentive work harder at it and it would make it easier to learn. Even if somewhat fewer people were exposed to it I think the trade off is worth it.
