The Relationship Thread

I don't think MB is the best sample size in representing the male perspective on female friends.

There's this concept in evolutionary biology called sexual selection

Women are the selectors

Yes I'm generalizing but I'm speaking in terms of statistics.

You can see this sort of thing in the fact that men are taller than women in virtually every ethnic group. Is every culture in the world conditioning women to prefer taller men or is there an inherent preference to our species in this regard? I think the latter is clearly the case. Results don't lie.

You can say oh but why would a woman prefer a taller man? You can speculate reasons, truth is it doesn't matter what the reason is. We know that female birds of many species select male birds with a more colorful display of feathers. Why? If anything being colorful makes you an easy target for predators. Why is that an advantage? Doesn't matter why. That's what the female birds select and so that's what male birds look like.

Are you sure that it's not because it's easier to fight off a short guy trying to rape you?

Isn't that inherent preference just also ancient conditioning though? Anyway, it doesn't matter much what the original reason is I think

Fair enough. That’s why I’m not an antinatalist. I pick and choose the breeders I dislike like an honest bigot.

While we’re at it I’d like to offer my congratulations to everyone that didn’t raise a kid under difficult circumstances because they stayed home and had a wank, ****ed someone of the same sex, wore a ****ing condom, or best of all GOT A ****ING ABORTION.

I've "friendzoned" women...I think they just complain about it way less than men

If they were straight up here **** me you’re either lying or they hate you.

Last warning. If you can't give your opinion respectfully then don't give it at all.
