And then you guys wonder why no one is humping your leg around here.
There is no evidence for the g-spot, yet I'm swimming in it all the time. Weird.
There is no evidence according to religious people that there is no intelligent design, yet there is plenty of evidence. It just depends on the stance that you have on the argument that makes you bias to one degree or the other.
Take it or leave it. The proof is how women turn after being here for a while and around horny men in general. Interview women who have been dancing in clubs for a while, doing porn or even hanging around sex sites. It takes a negative toll on them, why? Because there are many dudes who are INCAPABLE of being charming.
Charm takes intelligence. An intelligent man is needed to peak the interest of an intelligent woman. Period.
The proof is in how you guys are being treated as a whole around here. It seems to be an issue all the time in my experience here how guys get all up in arms if they are not catered to sexually because this is a sex site to them. While things are allowed to be sexual to a great degree here, it's also an informative and educational website which is how some of us actually found the place. So we continue to strive to offer information and education to those who might be here looking for that.
On top of all that, I still offer some red light district material because I still have a sex drive and want to be seen as sexual to a visual degree. You are lucky for it too. Because I'm totally HAWT.
Go ahead and say "there is no evidence for this"
The evidence will manifest itself if you look at how women change after being in the presence of horny men all the time. We lose respect for you guys. Not every one of you, just a majority of you. Ever talked to strippers in various places around the world? I have. Ever talked to women who have done professional porn? I have. Ever take notice to the sexual orientation percentages on the females that join and then evaluate them again later?
Call it a learning on the job experience. Go ahead and pick apart my every word, you are just making yourself look silly. Not because I don't agree with you, but because you refuse to take notice to the problem that hinders your gender around here. It makes it where you have nothing to hold on to when you aren't successful at getting female attention when you want it.
It's easier to blame the lack of evidence for my theory than to blame what you guys might be doing individually to be getting the cold shoulder. I'm just trying to help you out while venting my frustrations. But don't think for a minute I cared about your situations before my own. Helping you out is just a side effect of how we are breaking down the problem into bite sized pieces.
We can get into a very lengthy discussion about the epistemology of knowledge and what evidence constitutes itself as more valid than others. Ancedotes are fantastic for illustrating points, but they do not supercede statistical evidence when it comes to making blanket statements. I might stub my toe and reason that all furniture is evil and designed to ruin my feet based off of a history of toe stubbing, but that wouldn't' mean that my opinion is validated.
This is doubly important when making a claim about a group of individuals. I might live in an area in which crimes are predominantly committeed by black people, but that might simply be that the vast majority of people who are poor in my area are black, and that the economic standing of a person, rather than their race, is the prime mover in the system.
In one understanding race is the cause of the problem. In the other their poverty is the problem. The response which comes out of these different understandings of the causal relations between variables is incredibly different. One calls for aggression against the community until it stops acting the way it does, the other calls for redistributive justice.
I do, however, understand that there is a huge gulf in knowledge between the sexes insofar as their understandings of the evaluation mechanisms which they use to find partners (And there's an additional layer of complexity with the addition of Queer thought and pansexualism on top of that!). And on that point, you are very well taken; men on this site and on others seem to be incredibly clueless about the nature of interaction with the opposite sex for a number of reason. My qualm isn't with that point. Its with the method of delivery which uses morally charged language to shame people and call them derogatory things based upon their sex.
There is a LOT of stuff on this board which is downright hyper-disrespectful coming from all different sources. My point is that the reaction to that sort of disrespect should not be disrespect in turn, as that defeats the purpose and propagates a cycle of cynicism and conflict.
L_egit, have you any children? I'm asking because I'm really kind of shocked that anyone would think that education has anything to do with intelligence. I have a special needs child who has shown high intelligence since birth before she was ever formally educated.
Did I mention anything in my original thread about how uneducated these horny men seemed? Maybe you got that impression but in my experience with those who have learning disabilities, intelligence may not be absent at all if they are unable to make good grades.
I mentioned education because it is listed within the abstract in the opposite terms as intelligence with respect to sexual success. My source agrees with your assessment, as do I. You can look up the Hikikomori phenomenon in Japan to see how an entire generation of brilliant children are recusing themselves from society because they are too intelligent to properly fit in.
Has nothing to do with my main point, though. Just didn't want the abstract being misinterpreted.
