Uh maybe I'm completely missing something, but I don't see any data justifying his 80/20 claim, or what "attractiveness" means or how it was measured. Coupled with the highly non-representative sample, the "study" is basically worthless. What it means in the context of the experiment is simply "likelihood of getting liked back if you were to like everyone".

| scar the 1 10/08/17 8:37:31 AM #11 | Darkman124 posted... a lot of these guys are able to just message something stupid and get a response, because they're already in. and the study does kind of indicate that being 'above average' on a service like tinder is simply nowhere near good enough. the lazy messages don't come from nowhere; they are men responding to the lack of incentive for effort in making a respectful and meaningful first contact. if 99 of 100 messages are unread, and the last 1 gets a response based on your profile and not the message, why make that message good? we always assume that men being s***ty on these dating sites is because the men are s***ty, but we should also consider what incentives drive that behavior. It's a good point, but I don't think it's unique to online dating. Guys are similarly lazy (or entitled) in clubs. Just look at how buying a drink is often seen as something that warrants something in return. While you might have a point, I'm not sure that direct incentives alone explain the shittiness. --- Everything has an end, except for the sausage. It has two. |

| scar the 1 10/08/17 6:32:40 AM #7 | Pretty neat piece of work. A big flaw he isn't mentioning directly is that likes don't necessarily come out of physical attraction. He sort of addresses this with the assumption that every woman finds the same profiles attractive. But the female friends I have are a lot more interested in the holistic impression of a profile rather than just physical appearance. Like, what style does he have (suit, pothead, surfer, etc), where is the picture taken (nightclub with friends, wildlife trek, bathroom, etc), and what does the profile say. There was a TED X talk IIRC with a woman who did some analysis on optimal profile, quite interesting. In summary, though, considering the amount of guys who start the conversation with stuff like "wanna fuck?" (and the amount of guys on here who see no problem with that) and fling insults at the slightest rejection, it shouldn't be so difficult to be an above average guy. Just learn how to present yourself to the type of girl you're looking to meet, and write a good, not too short, not too long profile text, and you'll be fine. --- Everything has an end, except for the sausage.

| scar the 1 10/05/17 3:24:26 PM #129 | dave_is_slick posted... First off, I don't deny some guys mean it like that. But to assume everyone means it like that is too close to what leads people to be racist and all other hateful things. If it's wrong to assume all black people are a certain way, it's wrong to assume all men are a certain way. If black people and only black people groped you on crowded subway trains, groped you in nightclubs, followed you after turning them down, kept writing "let's fuck" again and again after you ignore them on social medias (and many other examples of expressing entitlement to your body) and none of this were a rare occurrence, I wouldn't blame you for being on your toes when black people catcalled you. That's the distinction. Men constantly feel entitled to women's bodies in private and in public. It's not a prejudice, it's a cautious attitude women get taught since childhood. Both because they're subjected to it, and because they live in a culture where it's the norm. The norm is for guys to be persistent, and to make advances while women should be passive.

Grow thicker skin" just because somehow if you're a woman and someone is rude to you then the correct course of action is to just bend over and take it.

It would be very easy for me to lie and my remarks would be set in stone based on that interview. I don't follow what you are trying to accomplish here.

| scar the 1 10/04/17 11:50:27 AM #120 | Asherlee10 posted... All of this is dependent on people telling the truth, which they will not. And we run into the same issue that this punishes law-abiding citizens. Any regulation such as I provide would have to rely on registering gun ownership. So, if you purchase a firearm, you it would have to be registered. Meaning that not telling the truth would be more difficult than just saying "no" if the seller asks you a question - you would have to fudge the state/national registry somehow. And I completely agree that it would punish law-abiding citizens. That's not something I tried to avoid with my hypothetical :) Point is, I'm addressing the fact (is it a fact?) that the most recent mass shooter had a seemingly large arsenal of firearms purchased legally. Under my hypothetical he would have had to either buy stuff illegally, borrow it illegally, or illegally alter his registry. Would it keep him from committing the crime? I don't know, I guess not? I know that it would make the preparations he made a lot more difficult/impossible to do legally. --- Everything has an end, except for the sausage. It has two. |

| scar the 1 10/04/17 11:13:33 AM #118 | Asherlee10 posted... How do you catch a guy like that before he goes on a shooting spree? Well, what you could do is regulate gun ownership somehow. I'm throwing out a hypothetical that might have made this particular case more difficult. Indulge me. Let's say you regulate gun ownership on a basis of "why do you want to own a gun?". Is it for hunting? Let's limit the number of owned hunting rifles at one time then, and require an active hunter's license on purchase. Is it for sport? Let's limit the number of sporting firearms, and require an active sporting license and intent to compete in the following year or so. Is it for collecting? Let's require such weapons to be disabled such that they can't be fired. Is it recreational? Let's set a limit on number of weapons owned for recreational purpose, and their specs etc. Is it self defense? Similarly, set a limit on number and specs. Additionally, why not limit the ammo you're allowed to buy to stuff that fits the weapons you own and the purposes you own them for. You get the picture. I'm not up to speed with all the details of this case, but didn't he have an astounding amount of firearms? With regulations such as those I provide, you'd definitely make it a lot more difficult for him to acquire all of those guns legally. However, this hypothetical is very restrictive, and only prevents him from getting so many guns so easily. I'm not saying it would have a desired effect on the actual shooting. --- Everything has an end, except for the sausage. It has two. |
