Boo hoo about 'invisible men', women who are 30-40-50+ are invisible too.
I don't really need to look at your charts and graphs; I know plenty of people in real life who are in relationships. And many are poor, ugly, fat, bald, retarded or old (or a combination).
If men had the burden of pregnancy and raising a child, maybe they'd be more picky too.
You can pick one...either you live in this society or you make stupid excuses for everything based on crappy unfounded 'evolutionary psychology'. You can't explain everything away yet act all sore when things don't go in your favor.
Understanding human nature is incredibly important, and it's unfortunate if you don't agree to it's value in helping us figure out why we act the way we do. Attraction is something we have absolutely no control over: it's animal-brain sort of stuff, and so this 'evolutionary psychology' holds even more merit.
You seem to be arguing under a false impression here: I seek an explanation in why things are the way they are, and for the very opposite reason of 'feeling sore'. You describe the bitter man who is angry at women for having too high standards, while I try to explain why their nature causes them to have those high standards to begin with! And when you can explain it, THAT's when bitterness ends.
I don't think I can clarify my point any further, and I'd rather you not go into more anecdotal stories. You have skill at debating, wigz, but you are poor at applying reason and logical thought. That's a dangerous combination that leads to fruitless confrontations and ruined marriages. You don't want to be a woman best described as a bitch.
"Attraction is something we have absolutely no control over"
Actually, we do. If you want to see it, take a look at a Playboy from 1970, 1980, 1990. Attraction is pretty malleable.
I hear everything you're saying and it maybe applies in certain circumstances to select few people but just look around you. Plenty of conventionally unattractive people are still getting laid and getting married. You seem to be talking about a small class of people who are able to be ultra picky. It just doesn't apply to most people and fugly people hook up every day. And those who can afford to be picky still have to work pretty hard to maintain themselves and be worthwhile to be around. I wouldn't call it easy.
is it normal to be turned off by short guys?
