He’s not wrong biologically speaking, which is why 2nd cousins can legally marry in all 50 states. At that level, problematic recessive traits getting excessively reinforced typically only become a problem over several generations in a small population (a very small town, or perhaps early-modern European royalty)…

You get my comment of the day sticker. Seriously 50 Marvel films and 6 have a female lead and these sad guys say their toys are being taken away and they’re history ruined.  This series is so fun, just give it a chance and enjoy :)

Why are douchebags so mad that the other 50% of the population is finally receiving its due? Have the scores of other all-male superhero shows/movies disappeared from the canon? Are they not still making superhero shows with male characters? Oh, they are, cool.

Right. The right way to deal with this isn’t to say me me me. It’s to say the rumor is offensive to those who struggle with illiteracy and dyslexia.

It’s a theory based in very little concrete evidence—just an anecdote ripped from Naya Rivera’s book, Sorry Not Sorry, that details how Michele refused to improvise scenes in Glee with veteran actor Tim Conway.

The first one I saw was Faith Hill, I think. Way before Dunham. 

Has nothing to do with whether I think it’s ethical or not. It’s something they used to do.

Because to them, women are interchangeable. They swipe right or ask out every woman they meet. They have zero idea of they want for substance. All they want is a woman who meets their physical standards. Like a charm on a bracelet. 

The thing is: you can grow out of that mindset. Women are growing out of the mindset that they “need” a man and they are adapting accordingly.

I mean, the problem with your approach is that you’re essentially talking about pretending to be someone else. You can’t pick 10-12 characteristics and “make” yourself have them if you don’t. All you can do is fake it, and women aren’t stupid. If, beneath the behavior, you don’t respect women/don’t like to…

I am the father of an adult daughter. I didn’t write this but I agree with it 100%

You could have 100 women write down 10 things they are looking for from their ideal partner, compile that data and create a list of 10 or 12 things that women are looking for, become the ideal embodiment of those things, make it your life’s work to make sure that you have those 10 or 12 characteristics, and you can…

Bingo. It’s PUA/MRA logic. Guys are told to swipe right on every woman on Tinder, rather than actually look at their profiles and see if it’s someone they might actually be able to form an emotional connection with. 

“You could have 100 women write down 10 things they are looking for from their ideal partner, compile that data and create a list of 10 or 12 things that women are looking for, become the ideal embodiment of those things, make it your life’s work to make sure that you have those 10 or 12 characteristics, and you…

I don’t mean desperate. I use “gross” to describe the same guy the OP is talking about (I think): totally self-centered and not at all understanding that women are real people. Most of these guys also got really uptight when I had my own opinions and wasn’t content to just nod along with theirs. I wish I could say…

This is exactly right. The guys who throw themselves at you and make it easy are, by and large, totally gross. You gotta hunt for that diamond if you’re a woman, and it’s a hell of a lot more effort than most guys are willing to put in.

So ironic. When I dated, I could have gone on first dates every night of the week for a month if I wanted to.

“Matos says he regularly holds roundtable-like discussions with women ages 25 to 45, and hears that they “prefer men who are emotionally available, good communicators, and share similar values.”

Neither of them seem like great parents, especially airing all of this in public knowing how aggressive Britney’s fanbase can be. If Kevin has problems with Britney’s parenting style or their custodial arrangement, that needs to be addressed privately in family court to protect the children.
