I think it's one of God's hilarious jokes that women have what men wish they had (lots of people who want to have sex with them) but the women don't want it. They should trade places with me - no one is trying to sleep with me...

[–] RamblingPanda 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm gonna steal this. But I won't tell anyone I did, not even Batman.

Damn, I'm not good at being a crook.

Women really like sex so there’s probably something else going on that you aren’t talking about.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Appearance? Height? (Not talking about OP, am rather talking in general)

I’ve met short/ugly and short ugly people who are able to pull in lots of women with their sense of humour and personality.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The numbers don't tend to bear that out, and in any case, even the example you cite doesn't, because it's implying that the men who are short and ugly are having to be more humorous and have more depth than their tall beautiful counterparts.

I think oftentimes when people complain about this sort of thing they kind of just need someone to empathize with them rather than tell them that oops life's not fair time to suck it up crybaby, which is generally seen as a callous dickish response but any other issue. Not to say that's what you're saying, but I've seen that sort of response be pretty common when people sort of, make the point that being tall and good looking will make you more likely to "score", or get a date or whatever.

I’m confused, are you saying the people I know don’t exist?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, I'm saying they're not a great indicator of how people tend to be perceived, and people tend to be complaining about the trends, rather than the outliers. Also that, if you know short and ugly people who are funnier and have better personalities than their taller and handsomer counterparts, and who have had romantic success, that would kind of prove the idea that uglier, shorter people need to work harder correct.

I could probably also explain this with the friendship paradox, which I think I cited recently for a similar thing someone was citing as example.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

You are overthinking what I said.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Interesting, I've not seen those - rather, the perception that if a beauty is dating an ugly, then clearly the ugly is rich and the beauty is just trying to take the money (and possibly flee later).

Please delete this for ur own good.

[–] RamblingPanda 21 points 1 year ago

No, leave it. It makes a great example in case anybody hasn't gotten the problem yet.

I think it's the Illuminati. Or chem trails! It MUST be some outside reason, no way it's a personal thing.

I blame the gay frogs the CIA created to try to take down communism.

Women want to get laid also, just with people superior than you

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Try not being emotionally repulsive.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The number of people who can't tell this is a joke makes it so much funnier.

There are people who would like to sleep with you, you just have to have low enough standards

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I bet that's not how things work.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Have you tried praying to your god to trade places?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

If I only could🎵
