Right, she says that her dates are often disappointing. I wonder if she is bringing to the table whatever it is she is seeking in men, or do her dates just often fail to completely dazzle her.

Right. Sometimes I wonder who is more invested in male supremacy, men or women? It often seems that women want to date superior men. Whenever I hear a woman say, “Meh, he was nice but kind of dumb,” I wonder if he truly did demonstrate stupidity, did she truly demonstrate intelligence, and if he actually just did not…
Interesting. Here are some thoughts. I am male:
Also, 105 boys for every 100 girls is hard to notice really. This is especially true since historically, wives are younger than husbands. This can still be seen in traditional communities in the US today, such as Mormons and Orthodox Jews. A Mormon man born in 1990 is probably looking for a wife born in 1993. This is…
Boys are more prone to illness than girls. So, by the time people get to marrying age, there were usually slightly more women than men. Historically disease has had a much bigger effect on men than war.
People are cruel. There is probably also a snarky word for China’s excess men. Probably also a stigma against unmarried women. Perhaps to goad them into getting married.
The white ones would probably call Jenna Coleman their dreamgirl, whether or not they have heard of her. They might publicly claim to be interested in Asian women, but I really have to think that this is mainly from a sense of greater attainability than their actual preference.
Because they are in their late 20's and early 30's and have never so much as kissed a girl. They feel they would have been better off in a previous era, and they are probably right.
The first sentence of the Washington Post story is “This has never happened before in human history.” So, no, humanity has never before had to deal with surplus males.
Do men? I think that few women can understand the no-hope-in-sight lack of a love life which many men experience.
Many white alt-right men marry Asian women. They might say they prefer Asian women, and the NY Times calls it their “Asian fetish,” but I truly believe that those men are largely spurned by their preferred white women and are making do with their second choices.
Yeah, a female surplus is much preferable to a male surplus.
Woman surpluses do not have dire consequences. But I think that a lot of women would remain unmarried and unhappy. Also, I think that men very well might leverage their scarcity and abuse women by “playing the field,” which really is another example of bad male behavior. Post WWII in the USSR, surviving men would…
When, Where and Why were there surpluses of males? Were there actually surpluses of males, or were wide swaths of males deemed unmarriagable and therefore expendable?
I read an article saying that urban Chinese people often prefer girls since having a son requires so much money. He will have to have an awesome apartment in Shanghai if he wants to compete for a wife.
I think that in the next few decades, the world population will still increase, but the growth rate will be significantly slowed.
Interesting. I would think that upper class people would most be able to ensure that their sons have educational and occupational opportunities. However, Americans have prefered girls for foreign and domestic adoption for decades now for largely the same reasons you said. But adoption is different than having your own…
Further down in the comments, I listed several things which can be abused (handicapped license plate placards, learning disability accomodations, racial preferences in college admissions). I acknowledged that these things can be abused and often times are, but I stated that I don’t think that they should be…
I think in this context we are talking about cis gendered men claiming to be transgender in order to serve their time in the presumably safer women’s facilities.
Women might be afraid and uncomfortable by his mere presence, but he is only a threat if he behaves in a violent or threatening manner.
