fortyninethousand322 Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Why are we using averages anyway? Shouldn't something like mode be used? If I put a 200 lb woman, a 105 lb woman and a 115 lb woman in the same room, most of the women in that room weigh 115 lbs or less, but the average weight per person is 140 lbs. So maybe average isn't something we should use to determine things. 1
xxoo Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Men whine more because the brunt of the work is up to them. Successful men enjoy it. They think it's fun. They are happy hunters.
Lonely Ronin Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 In percentiles, a 120# woman is in the 17th percentile at age 30, and in the 12th percentile at age 35. Not even close to average. lol, so his 5 is actually a 7.5+ 1
monicaelise Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Women don't spend as much time whining about their dating woes because they have so many other real, legit things to whine about. 2
fortyninethousand322 Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Successful men enjoy it. They think it's fun. They are happy hunters. But that doesn't mean it's a good thing though. Some men don't want to be hunters, or aren't very good at it.
miss_jaclynrae Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Successful men enjoy it. They think it's fun. They are happy hunters. Who here has had success? Maybe you guys could start a "ask us because we get laid" thread. I personally think too many people have a problem with rejection. 1
Lonely Ronin Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 But that doesn't mean it's a good thing though. Some men don't want to be hunters, or aren't very good at it. This comes back to survival of the fittest. 2
PJKino Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 It's not too bad in college and high school when you are constantly around women your age After college, if you don't have friends who know girls, it's not a very fun "hunting" Yep im in my early 30's and everyone i know is paired up its not fun trying to approach random women when you go out on wekkends because unles youre extremely good looking cold approaches usually fail
fortyninethousand322 Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 This comes back to survival of the fittest. Look around at society today. I think "survival of the fittest" has been dead for a long time. 1

miss_jaclynrae Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Yep im in my early 30's and everyone i know is paired up its not fun trying to approach random women when you go out on wekkends because unles youre extremely good looking cold approaches usually fail DB is 30. He approached me while I was reading at a Starbucks. He was nervous, and I am pretty sure he walked past me 10 times or so before he interrupted me [i had my eyes on him the whole time], but look at where he is now. You NEVER know when it might work, and sometimes it can be totally worth it.
Author JuneJulySeptember Posted January 27, 2013 Author Posted January 27, 2013 For your age range (30-35, as you specified), the average weights for a 5'4" woman are 149 (at age 30) to 154 (at age 35). That is 29-34# more than what you stated as average. In percentiles, a 120# woman is in the 17th percentile at age 30, and in the 12th percentile at age 35. Not even close to average. You're totally skirting the point. I can't remember the last time a woman was too overweight for me. The last woman that rejected me (one of the last) told me she was 140 at 5'6". I guessed her closer to 125. I don't give a sh@t about 10-20 lbs. The average woman is NOT being ignored.
Divasu Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 True. They often do. There's nothing wrong with it except that the biggest advantages in dating, face/height for men, and being a woman are things that we are born with. So, if you believe in Darwinism, there is nothing wrong with it. If you believe in Che Guevara, not so much. There's no 'exception'. Women have advantages in some arenas of life, while men have advantages in others. That's life.
Author JuneJulySeptember Posted January 27, 2013 Author Posted January 27, 2013 There's no 'exception'. Women have advantages in some arenas of life, while men have advantages in others. That's life. Yea. Fine. Go for the best guy you can get. Knock yourself out.
tbf Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 This comes back to survival of the fittest.To expand on this point, "fittest" doesn't necessarily mean the strongest. But it is an equal statement to "the most adaptive". Consider dating an RPG. You're wandering around and happen on a locked door. The ones who are capable of sufficient thought start to look around to find tools to help them enter. They won't rely on the same methodology for each locked door they encounter. They will use available resources to adapt to each type of lock. Perhaps the difference between fluid and crystallized intelligence. As far as whiny women on LS? There have been and still are a few. But most women don't attempt to systemize other human beings, preferring to view people as individuals. 1

I mean there are clearly dumb or otherwise "unfit" (not necessarily physically) people out there today. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that the majority of people who have managed to reproduce are the "least fit" of the biological/evolutionary chain. 1
miss_jaclynrae Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Were you attracted to him before he approached you? YES. But, that being said, we had a unique situation. DB is balding, grey, and definitely not my usual type. I can honestly say there was some weird chemical attraction going on. I normally probably wouldn't have noticed him, but... I can't describe it really, we just both FELT the other person if that makes any sense. It took him about 30 minutes to approach. I didn't make it easy either. Not only was I reading but I had headphones on and wasn't making myself fully available. He eventually did though, and as I said, it was still a cold approach. I guess we both just got kinda lucky though. [super cheesy I know, but I am being serious.]
fortyninethousand322 Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 It is what it is. If you want to eat well, you need to hunt It's easier to go to the grocery store. Or set traps, then the target comes to you.
Divasu Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Yea. Fine. Go for the best guy you can get. Knock yourself out. Haha, I'm planning on it!

The ones who want to breed and get to breed or the ones who want to breed but whine about their inability to breed. Results speak for themselves.

Why in heaven's name would anyone approach under those circumstances? Seriously, I see this all the time and my gut reaction is that these women don't want to be approached when they do that. But, perhaps it's just a test to see what kind of hoops a guy will go through to approach... 2

xxoo Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 It's easier to go to the grocery store. Or set traps, then the target comes to you. Yeah, things would be so much easier for men if women could be farm raised and sold by the pound

I'd say he was more intelligent than most of his contemporaries. There's more to life than having sex and making babies, especially considering how most of our ancestors were the "club her and drag her to your cave" variety of human beings...
