Yeah. It'd be one thing if Alameda was deep underwater but funds could be recovered from FTX balances, but Alameda tried to double-down on their bets with client funds

And I know this. Because 20-year-old me had an easier time courting 8's than 24-year-old me had with 6's. What gives? 24-year-old me could bitchslap 20-year-old me out of the room.




Yeah. SImilar experience.


4 year break from dating due to longterm relationship between 2018 and 2022


Genuinely would say I'm better at every category in terms of experience, weight, career, income yaddayadda and yet it's so much more of a grind now than it was. Both in terms of the quality of girls I can pull despite going from like a 4 to a 7, and the amount of psychological warfare involved in dating. People were generally less shitty 4 years ago

Aren't you literally a doctor in a society that's a fair bit more traditional/marriage-orientated than the West? Especially since certain characteristics that play well in your home market likely aren't gonna play as well in the West.

The Motte is probably 99% XY Chromosomal and it's generally more productive as a male to sit down and think 'how can I play in this meta' as opposed to 'waah the meta is fucked due to certain activities'.

Some may be just generally bad; some may be unconsciously disinterested in a relationship; some may have personality traits that make them a bad prospect. The point is that women see highly sought after men who aren't good long term prospects.




Why would it be an unconscious preference? If you're the hypothetical 'Chad Thundercock' and just want to get laid, Tinder's providing you with ample opportunities to get your dick wet and generally working as intended. Honestly, so long as Chad Thundercock is direct and clear with his intentions on just getting laid I don't think that's even a bad result for the stack.


The main issue/corruptive agent are people who are working on false pretenses. The hypothetical 'Lovebomber' who presents as down for a long-term relationship for 3-4 dates then bails, who undermines the sincerity of the actually longterm-orientated (and can, frankly, lead to some bizarre expectations where longterm-minded girls assume that their 'sprinting' effort and 110% agreeability is something that an actual longterm prospect is gonna emulate)

To the extent to which there is a new tendency, it seems very tempting to interpret it along the lines of "knowing less is better"; that is, at least at some crucial stage of relationship formation, the girls are incapable of feeling attraction towards guys in their circles as they actually are, and can only sustain it by projecting some counterfactual quality into the gaps of their ignorance towards a stranger.




I think it's more the perceived infinite universe of potential male partners provided by online dating makes it easier to essentially write off males in the friendgroup as triggering whatever 'ick' and/or compare real people against curated dating app images of strangers. I'm also curious how female sexuality has evolved with the modern slate of choices, since even going on Tiktok/IG generally provides a lot of examples of 'I was into X until he did Y that gave me incurable 'Ick'' and it's like... the vast majority of women to live have had vanishingly small pools of possible suitors which makes me skeptical that they were able to operate on such terms.

I did specify chromosomes for a reason. Still would expect 90%+ & to further that that like the vast majority of posts/comments will be coming from that side of the fence.

I'd also be interested to see how the smoothing out of culture works, though and as immigrant populations get deeper roots


Like the culture shock from marrying a 4th-generation American who happens to be genetically from Southeast Asia is probably less than the culture shock of marrying a European who's fresh off the boat from Russia.

I mean getting into research at a top tier University isn't exactly going to people with 2.1 GPAs. Unless they've got some identity boosters which would also likely help them a ton in the graduate hiring process.

Does depend how close those graduates want to stay to 'their actual field'.


Most quantitative-adjacent research fields can make the age-old choice between '60k as entry-level Astrophysics researcher' and '130k as entry level data scientist'

COVID response was a classic example of this. Aside from the very early days of pop-up hospitals, the logic was far more 'how do we preserve the current medical system with its red tape and bureaucracy' than 'how do we provide treatment efficiently'

Yeah.

it doesn't offer you solutions to your problems




'Get jacked, get confident, get bitches' is more of a solution than anything being offered from the other side of the fence, though.


Is it One Size Fits All? No!


But atleast it's a suggestion compared to either 'Be Yourself' in a dating scene that is beyond warped or 'Long screed about how bad and evil men from before your time acted poorly etc etc etc'

Yeah. My dad was from a very poor corner of the North of England in a very large family and a bath was a weekly phenomenon in which the water'd be shared between the extended family.

Basically the right is doing the same thing the left did in 2020-2021.




Yeah. It's kinda hilarious how things have pivoted from 'random deaths/medical issues pinned on LONG COVID' to 'random deaths/medical issues pinned on VACCINE SIDE EFFECTS'.


Honestly personally I think the effects of 'Long Lockdown' in terms of weight gain, exercise disrupted, habits picked up, mental issues are probably going to present a greater specter than either COVID or the vaccine.

I'd expect a general upward drift in 'celebrity deaths' on Wikipedia due to the notability window as well. Rates of achieving 'celebrity status' started to accelerate 40-50 years ago, which is about commensurate with when you'd expect the 20-30 something celebrities of then to start departing.

There is an elevated risk, but not that much , and obesity carries risks as well, so one must take that into account, too.




Yeah. Ignorant of the exact permutation with Fenphen but if it was a reliable 'obesity cure' it's pretty hard to imagine side effects that weren't immediately, gigantically apparent being worse than obesity itself.

Sidebar but was recently on /r/combatfootage and it's insane both how much HQ video is coming out of the conflict (especially the drone bombings which are, frankly, grim as hell) and how partisan most people are on random gunfights between Ukrainian and Russian young men with no particular power over their own destinies.

The Lib argument tends to be inherently more fractitious compared to the ageing middle American heartland that's still pretty defining for the Republican party. Facebook's increasingly becoming dominated by the sort of demographics that tend to vote Republican. The kids have fled elsewhere, leaving their parents and grandparents.


Democrat voters also tend to be more diverse in their spoken languages of choice & consumption, which further splits the popularity of the biggest channels communicating to them.
