This surprises exactly no-one who has ever lived in the downtown area of a big city. The number of young women there is vastly more than young men, except perhaps in a few edge cases
- IshKebab 5y ago1. The raw number of women wouldn't mean their average earnings are somehow more. 2. "Vastly" is clearly not true. Maybe you just look at women more? 3. This is only true in 22/250 cities so.
- FredPret 5y agoFair point regarding the average. But I stand by "vastly". Dating as a male who is breathing and can tie his shoelaces in downtown Toronto was absurdly easy due to the skew in numbers.
- DangitBobby 5y agoYou might be overestimating your peers' ability to find a date relative to your own.
- FredPret 5y agoNo, I'm comparing to my own previous track record. Unless men get drastically more date-able as they age, which might also be true.
- ShamelessC 5y agoYou don't see any problems with that statistically?
- FredPret 5y agoThere’s no question of statistics here, it is clearly an anecdote from personal experience that lines up with the original stats
- ShamelessC 5y agoOkay I just meant to say that the conclusions you find from personal experience have basically no correlation with what happens in the aggregate. But you were defending points as though they were applicable in the aggregate, or at least that was the implication. No one should change their minds on a subject based on a single anecdote. Further, that your experience lined up with original stats are similarly potentially unrelated and could be due to lots of variables specific to you that we don't know. If your goal was to make a point, I don't think you've done that. Instead you've just highlighted a personal, mostly unrelated success story of yours. Which, that's fine, just not very convincing.
