“A woman will forget what you say. She will forget what you did…”

That Maya Angelou quote is an excellent demonstration of the fact that you can’t trust women to tell you anything true about women. The part I repeated above is so wildly and obviously false that I can’t believe she tried to get away with saying it. Anyone who’s ever been in a relationship with a woman knows that if you say or do something she doesn’t like, not only does she remember it forever, she’ll make sure you know she remembers by reminding you of it regularly forever.

I agree and disagree. The point of the quote is that when first getting romantically involved with a woman, they care more about how you make them feel than what you say.

Case in point, there was a trend of telling a woman you were gay and still getting with her not too long ago. What you say will matter eventually, but early on, I don't think it matters much... hell, Ted Bundy knew that.

You do your readers a disservice by not noting the limitations of the study, which was conducted in Korea and involved only 10 young women in one section and 27 in another. Tinder itself skews the results because it tends to focus on casual or short term “relationships”, offers little information other than photographs and studies have shown that women put higher emphasis on looks in such situations. The Match group study referenced is from 2009 and has been heavily criticized, although it is still cited by article by complaining men.

There are already far more men on dating sites and a majority of male users swipe right on many or even all female profiles, causing women to be inundated by likes and messages.

Young men today are badly served by people such as Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate, who trade on their insecurities and validate their anger at women.

Why do people never dare mention that about 80% of women are not that attractive?

When I was young, the typical American woman under 40 probably weighed under 130 lbs. Today the average weight for all American women is 170 lbs.

In large part because Vilfredo Pareto (1848-1923) was correct.

80% of the responses on Substack go to 20% of the authors.

80% of the mass in the Solar System is contained in 20% of the planets.

80% of the crime in America is committed by 20% of the criminals.

80% of the auto accidents in America are caused by 20% of the drivers.

80% of the urban residents in America live in 20% of the cities.

80% of the filings of divorce papers are done by 20% of the spouses.

80% of the mass in the Milky Way are contained in 20% of the stars.

80% of all the books published are written by 20% of the authors.

80% of all of the songs written are composed by 20% of the musicians.

Most people who get angry don't read. The study was based on online dating, not irl.

Give it a read again.

What are these "different degrees" of being single? I disagree with some of Chio's statements, but we both agree that "you're either in a relationship or not."

We all know about being in a friends-with-benefits situation or something similar, but I don't see how it's relevant to the topic. And many studies I read still conclude that men are more single than women... at least in the U,S.

Even if the ratio on dating apps was 3 women for every man, women would still be pickier because they find fewer men physically attractive.

Gay men in contrast are way more inclusive in their physical standards for men they want to date. Any mediocre looking guy can find dozens of gay men to date despite gay men being a fraction of the straight female population.

Our degradation is just always anything and everything in the world except for obvious female mendacity.

There is zero ambiguity on THIS SIDE of the scope.

See, that’s your privilege shining through. Because all of this, from Seneca Falls, to Simone du Beavouir, to Bell Hooks to your ignorant, hate-peddling ass.

This entire enterprise has never been about a thing other than depraved women such as yourself robbing half the human race of its humanity.

Feminism is by, about and for the fostering of women’s hatred of men.
