Using this idiotic logic, then we should only marry people who are already married since unmarried people probably don't have prospects and on and on and on.

- hapless 16y agoIt's perfectly sound logic: being already married is social proof that you were a good enough mate for at least one person to marry you. If you had to pick mates blindly, that wouldn't be a bad way to do it. There is a special reason that we don't apply that heuristic to marriage candidates in real life. We typically value loyalty very highly in a mate, so married candidates who would leave their mates for us destroy their own value. The same is not true of employees. Loyalty is a nice-to-have, but competence is essential.
- SandB0x 16y agoYou definitely get more attention from girls if you're seen with another attractive girl.
- gaius 16y agoIt's interesting to see the flipside of this (he said, veering wildly offtopic). On OKCupid and other dating sites there is a particularly style of picture many girls use, cropped but obviously they're with a male, like his arm is around her or something. Projecting female values, they think they're saying "look, I've had a boyfriend, that proves I'm not crazy". Unfortunately the message received by a male is "she's not over her ex".

- wushupork 16y agoI agree. When I see those types of pictures - I'm thinking it's going to be complicated.
