The 80/20 percent thing

Post Reply New Topic

I believe that it was I who first raised the idea that men, some of them anyway, might not limit themselves to the "top 20%" so far as willingness to date a woman is concerned, but may nevertheless value the "lower-rated" women less in various ways. Although I can think of only one situation in which I see myself as having been guilty of taking advantage of a woman that way, and in retrospect I am truly ashamed of that although I have reason to believe that woman did OK later in life, at least she eventually got married. Although she probably had Borderline which could have contributed to the situation.

Where I got into somewhat of a disagreement was my assertion that despite the above, there are (a minority of) women on Earth who at least sometimes don't care — if they're horny enough and attracted to a guy, and presented some concrete examples to corroborate that claim. But I totally agree that a woman dating a man she suspects of not valuing her as much as other women he hasn't managed to date will feel deeply disrespected. I don't dispute that for one second.
