Everybody constantly gets evaluated in two seconds. Mates very nearly are commodities. People claiming otherwise are just uggos, or class-ists.
Once we get video of some interaction + voice + smell, that's really 99% of the mating game. Nobody really gives a shit about anybody's resume. They may claim to when asked, but in reality we're dealing with systems much lower down towards the cerebellum.
- ElComradio 11y agoI find it interesting that usually those who claim simple explanations for mating choice are those who are least likely to benefit from this knowledge.
- a8da6b0c91d 11y agoYou're being cryptic and I don't understand. I'll assume you're ugly and dress poorly.
- ElComradio 11y agoI also wear glasses and drive a sports car. This last part is due to my small penis, which is also known to cause hunting and libertarianism. Thinking caps come in a range of fashion colors.
- throwawaymaroon 11y agoYou're pathetic. >Nobody really gives a shit about anybody's resume. ... and wrong.
- normloman 11y agoThis is true when you're just looking for a quick fuck. But as someone in a long term relationship, believe me, superficial qualities matter a lot less. My wife is beautiful, but so were other girls I dated. I stuck with my wife because we make a good team, and she shares my values.
- a8da6b0c91d 11y agoI disagree that the qualities one wants in a long term relationship are not obvious with quite short interaction. It's not mere superficiality. You can suss out a person's character very quickly. Instincts are usually right.
- normloman 11y agoTell that to everyone who's been in a relationship for 6 months before breaking up because "he/she seemed so perfect when I met them"
- jsn117 11y agoThat's because people misrepresent themselves online and offline. Reminds me of the Chris Rock quote: "When you meet somebody for the first time, you're not meeting them. You're meeting their representative."
