| The majority of men place looks as the primary factor. Even for marriage. For millions of years women have contributed only child care and house work to the family unit. For millions of years it is only men and the capability to hunt, strategize, use their strength to build shelter and farm that was critical to the survival of the family unit. Feminism and equal occupations is only a very recent phenomenon. Therefore when it comes to marriage men are biologically inclined to not look at "capability" or intelligence as a big factor. Evolutionarily speaking men are driven primarily by the fertility of the woman and personality as a second factor. Make no mistake, It is fair and just to give women equal rights but our biology is not equipped to fully account for this new reality. This female dating match maker with years of experience illustrates the preferences for both men utterly clearly: https://youtu.be/pAF0Ebg48A0?si=SmECgNA0Tsv2Cu0c Additionally most men cannot date "indefinitely". Statistics show among dating apps women are exclusively dating a small pool of high value men. The majority of men do not get very many matches. Most of this is evident to most men. There are a few cases where this isn't evident: 1. You are a woman. Women tend not to be aware. This is the most likely scenario. 2. You are a high value man. Therefore you have an abundance of choices. Your reality is therefore different from most men. 3. You are a man and an exception to the rule. You are low value but you still value intelligence over looks. This is the least likely scenario. |
I followed the argument and was on the fence for most of it, but here I clearly disagree. This is one advantage for a male in a dating pool. He can absolutely date ( and sire children ) longer than women. I have an anecdote about it, but it is just that.
Now... women have a lot less time to find a suitable mate. Men can wait.. if they choose to do so.
