The smug Hallmark platitudes aren't great either, though they're thankfully less common than they used to be.

Do you know more women who don't date guys shorter than them than those who do or vice-versa?

"lowered" their target height surely?

Sure, I guess your phrasing of "get over it" just sounded a little dismissive to me. I'm officially average height for a guy in my country and worry I'm not tall enough, my friend is 6'1" and does the same! I can't imagine how hard it must be for men who are actually below the average to absorb these messages…

Conjecture from an (average height) tall person:

Maybe your experience in the LP community is different, but I think putting half the blame on short men for not "getting over it" is pretty unfair. It feels like criticising over-weight women for assuming that men aren't attracted to them and then saying to them "just get over it". Patriarchal notions that men have to…

I read some good points about the previous studies mentioned where people were required to share money. The attitudes displayed are only "irrational" in an Ayn-Rand, "empathy is a curse" sense. If you take the long view (e.g. I'm going to teach this person that being a douche has bad consequences so they will not do…

How is it greed to want an equal share?

Is the bar scene any different though? I've recently been out on a few all-nighters, and there wasn't a single one that wasn't swamped with 3 dudes for every lady. And most of those dudes, myself included, are not making the same effort with regard to their appearance as the ladies are.

Wait, how to not do what? Be attracted to someone? Is that really a thing that you can control?

I think she covered that with "vice-versa".

Except your analogy would work better if it was six people on the track, and there was a choice to divert the train so it would only hit one of them. That was triavalon's whole point, that the fetus wouldn't be viable either way.

There are plenty of videos out there taken in changing rooms/showers which must have been filmed by a woman, since the camera is being carried around. I suppose we can write this off as women who are in the employ of men, or perhaps who are being blackmailed or have an addiction to sate, but that feels like making…

Don't you mock those cute little tubular rats.

Hmm, I'd never thought of that.

Goddamnit why you gotta ruin everything I love?

What you're saying made me remember an incident later in the evening where he made basically the same comment, this time about a different girl who we all had just met, and just to the four of us guys who were left. I actually thought this girl was gorgeous, but didn't speak up because... well I don't know. I guess…

I found it really strange yesterday when a male friend said to a female acquaintance of his regarding another mutual friend "she's really not hot though". This female acquaintance then looked nonplussed and plaintively replied "well...I think she's pretty", before male friend insists "she's really not though". I…
