Your response wasn’t really that long at all. My posts are often incredibly long.

If a woman makes herself more physically attractive she will have a higher quantity and quality of men to choose from. If it used to be just ugly douchebags, and now after her transformation her pool includes handsome and ugly douchebags, it cannot be denied that she has a higher quantity and quality of men to choose…

“You can say the exact same things about a guy.”

Are you saying that you would never resort to this tactic? Sure, neither would I. But are you saying you disagree with how I interpreted the mindset behind this tactic? If so, why?

Your high school prom example isn’t really that convincing. You asked out 5 guys before one said yes. Amanda would probably have gotten her first pick to immediately say yes. What about Fred? I think Fred could easily go one for five, and maybe even not even that.

I am a man and I will try to explain the thinking behind this “line.”

Dating scene vs. hookup scene. It really is pretty comparable to monogamy vs. polygamy.

was she relying on the men who currently exist in her life, or was she actively putting herself out there. I have great difficulty imagine a woman, who you describe as “not ugly” being unable to find a Tinder date, or even just pick a random guy at a bar and hooking up with her, if she is in deed desperate to have sex.

Virtually every woman can find men to date, hook up with, or have a relationship with. Every woman has options, but she might not like her options. If that is the case, making herself more attractive is also an option which isn’t that difficult.

“Both men and women want sex. But I don’t generally see women concocting elaborate strategies based on lying, mind games, and general condescending bullshit to try and get it.”

While it is true that in relationships, men and women largely couple up with people of comparable levels of physical attractiveness. In hookup culture, the hottest men really have an enormous advantage, while virtually any woman can enter the hookup scene.

B pretty much depicts the modern college dating scene. And the most appealing men really aren’t that selective. It might seem crass, but let’s “grade” men and women on an A-F scale with the A’s being the most appealing. An A man, “Aaron” would prefer to hook up with only Amandas, but realistically, will hook up all…

Normalizing casual sex in a society actually makes sex harder for many men to have sex. Consider two college campus cultures:

Do you envy men who are actively trying to meet women? I think that each gender has their own difficulties, but I would say that men are in the worse position in terms of meeting people. These pickup artists are douchebags, but many men are completely befuddled with the modern dating scene.

I am a man and I agree with you. Women are increasingly pointing out that they do more emotional labor IN RELATIONSHIPS. And they are right. However, how did that relationship begin? Most likely, the man did a tremendous amount of emotional labor while the woman largely was passive while benefitting from it. The…

I am a man and I probably agree with you, while not 100% understanding what you are writing.

This comment is not getting the appreciation it deserves.

Plenty of restaurant managers, and even worse CUSTOMERS!, have told me to smile more. I can see their point. Strangely, they want me to smile more, and stop with the random laughter. Maybe it isn’t that strange at all.

If you had a year, that’s 4.5 hours a week, which is doable. He doesn’t deserve an award, but he should be proud of himself for knocking this out in one semester.

Well...doesn’t that make it more likely that lgbt people would be more overt about racism, perhaps thinking that they get more of a pass?
