To an extent, yes, as that mould is partly made by cultural conditioning.Women love confident men. Taking the plunge of asking a woman out takes confidence. Are you suggesting this mould can be broken by cultural conditioning?

And I said the same. But everyone is different - just saying someone is different doesn't mean they're beyond understanding... or somehow "wrong".Men and women are different.
Of course there wasn't "direct military action" - the Syrian regime realised that giving in was the only way to stop the French coming.No action was taken in Syria, sabre rattling is hardly a good example of military prowess.
Yes. But that answer is probably less binary in what it means than you're likely to be thinking, given your choice of wording was "Outlier".jackssmirkingrevenge wrote:Rag, can I ask if you have ever had a long term relationship with a woman?
yup couldn't put it better myself. At work better hope your boss is a man. Most women prefer their bosses to be men, and most women prefer to work in a male dominated environment.

We live in the culture that we live in. Data gathered from people raised in a vacuum would be completely irrelevant. I'm guessing you buy into this whole patriarchy-male privilege-internalized misogyny excrement.Ragnarok wrote:The main experiment described there does not contain the controls and depth that it needs to draw the conclusions that it does.
A true control would be the option to do the scenario without any societal programming.
After all, in our society, walking around with your breasts out is considered quite an odd thing, but some African tribes will think differently.
Exactly. So should why should there be special pleading for women. I was programmed to put women on a pedestal, that didn't work out.However, that's obviously not really feasible. People do not grow up without any societal programming.
WHAT?!After all, when we think of a typical "slut", we're likely to think lower class and less well off, not higher class and rolling in money, so clearly class is something that enters into it.
Of course women want to be able to dress like sluts, if they were wearing a burqa their power of seduction is completely nullified. In effect, Islamic dress for women is the abrahamic variation of girls on the internet.When it comes to higher profile slut shaming than talking behind people's backs, men enter into it a lot. Take that Toronto policeman who said that women shouldn't dress like sluts if they don't want to be raped and any number of people who'll stand up in front of an audience and blame society on promiscuous women (or the gays or whatever), etc, etc, etc.
To what extent as opposed to biology?To an extent, yes, as that mould is partly made by cultural conditioning.
In studies I've seen, women rate alpha male features as most attractive when they are ovulating, and less rough features when they are not. These are the same friggin' people but at different times of the month. Have fun juggling with that.Culture strongly defines what people find attractive. Take neck rings for a visual example - the west sees that elongated neck as something really quite weird, but that's really popular in some places (if my culture is right, at least parts of Burma). And much like physical features, attraction to different personality traits is educated by cultures

I have no tolerance for irrational people, male or female, it just so happens that the most irrational people I know are women. It doesn't make them "wrong", but it does make me rapidly lose interest in their opinions.And I said the same. But everyone is different - just saying someone is different doesn't mean they're beyond understanding... or somehow "wrong".
Giving up their chemical weapons (which by most accounts they weren't using anyway...) is really irrelevant to the Syrian regime, they are still on the way to crushing the rebels and gave the opportunity to the US government to save face after all the empty threats which the Western public failed to back.Of course there wasn't "direct military action" - the Syrian regime realised that giving in was the only way to stop the French coming.
I'll take that as an ill concealed no vis a vis what I asked. It doesn't mean your evaluation is not relevant, but it does mean that it is coming from a different background.Yes. But that answer is probably less binary in what it means than you're likely to be thinking, given your choice of wording was "Outlier".

Yeah, plus avoid hidden taxation. Here if you're on a payroll you're employer is supposed to pay at least 300$ for social insurance, retirement plan and medial insurance. The funny ting is that the system will go bankrupt - so my generation has no chance to get the money they pumped into the system.Fu(k that, be the boss
Hardly. You're more or less saying that it's meaningless to try and change society because women are inherently that way. But that's not true - those women are at least in part shaped by society.jackssmirkingrevenge wrote:Data gathered from people raised in a vacuum would be completely irrelevant.
As you said, correlation is not the same as causation. Without proving that the two are linked, the technological level of the society is irrelevant.Some African tribes are still living in their mud huts while here we are posting on a forum on the internet.
... or simply living in a different society. Perhaps I was overgeneralising my personal experiences, but around here, that's genuinely how I find it to be. Or perhaps I'm just too "properly" British and therefore evaluate what I find lower class to be differently.You are either naive or being deliberately blind.
Ye gods. Is the idea of interacting with women in a way that isn't eventually trying to get them into bed that alien to people?In effect, Islamic dress for women is the abrahamic variation of girls on the internet.
Well, that's a complex philosophical and psychological question.To what extent as opposed to biology?
And my mood changes depending on the time of day. Any time past about midnight, I won't stop talking and think using overly complicated words is funny.These are the same friggin' people but at different times of the month.
Not in terms of violence, no. But memes are a form of humour. This is another one of the top Advice Mallard memes, which is clearly a semantic joke, based on two possible interpretations of the phrase "pick up".Apples and oranges, the puppy is amusing because of the implied violence. There is nothing similarly amusing about actual advice mallard.
Then I'll rephrase.I'll take that as an ill concealed no vis a vis what I asked.

I used to do the same. The mind grows weary of infantile games, especially as one's libido diminishes with age. Also, being polite to women is not a good way to get to screw them.I'm not so shallow that I'm falsely polite to women in the hope I might get to screw them silly. Maybe I'm just not testosterone addled enough, but I find women interesting in so many more ways than just their naked bodies.
Again, I once harbored this desire. Turns out Slipknot were as right as they were crude, people = sh1t. I am not excluding myself from the subset of people by the way. On the subject of gay sex, it had been suggested to me that "since you hate women so much, maybe you should be gay!". The issue though, and the reason why I find myself taking an interest in gender issues and diving enthusiastically into these debates is that I still find women sexually attractive.My relationships are not looking for a sex toy. I'm looking for a life partner and, to be quite honest, I'm happy for that life partner to be man or woman. Or in between, if that's what they want to be.

I'm not going to dive into that particular suggestion, mostly because "maybe you should be gay" is generally trying to be an insult, and I'm just not cool with that.jackssmirkingrevenge wrote:The issue though, and the reason why I find myself taking an interest in gender issues and diving enthusiastically into these debates is that I still find women sexually attractive.
Not sure about the accuracy of those lyrics though.Also, I like this song. Cool lyrics.
It was directed to me as an insult, by a woman. I believe it is categorized as "Code Lavender". What I find amusing about this list is that it attempts to give rational responses to these insults when the person using them has clearly abandoned logic and is attempting to argue emotionally.Ragnarok wrote:I'm not going to dive into that particular suggestion, mostly because "maybe you should be gay" is generally trying to be an insult, and I'm just not cool with that.
Won what exactly?... but I see the man who brought shopping bags to a tank fight and won.
