I used to be more skeptical of sociology and psychology, but after having spent extensive time with numerous sociologists and seeing how their work has been applied to the real world, I'm a bit more convinced.

this article states that some PUA strategies are supported by science and some of them are not, i.e.:

Quote:
In light of these findings, it is equally important to note that many of the strategies advocated by the community are not currently supported by peer-reviewed literature. For example, one particular strategy known as “peacocking,” (in dubious reference to Zahavi’s (1975) handicap principle) involves wearing very ostentatious clothing specifically designed to exploit evolved cues for what women find attractive (Markovik, 2007). Although research has shown that women generally find social status attractive in men (Buss, 1989; Pawlowski and Dunbar, 2001), thus far there is no direct evidence in support of this particular behavior.

A similar strategy, known as “negging”, has been claimed to increase a male’s attractiveness by demonstrating he has high standards (Markovik, 2007). For example, a male might exclaim, Wow, those are great fingernails! Are they real? Oh, no? Well, they still look nice. Consistent with this argument, Eastwick, Finkel, Mochon, and Ariely (2007) have shown that men who appear to have high standards are considered more attractive than males who do not; nevertheless, there is currently no direct evidence that “negging” is universally effective. An important area for future research would be to more closely analyze a broader spectrum of community literature and determine the
scientific veracity of unsubstantiated claims.

Moreover, there may be important unrecognized ethical implications from using portions of this material. For instance, it has been argued that the initiation of touch or “kino” throughout the courtship process and alleged prioritization of physical over verbal consent may at times problematize interpretations of consent (Denes, 2011). To this end, we do contend that such material has the potential for abuse and urge caution with the use of the Community’s material, especially in the context of short-term relationships where sexual activity may be the sole objective.


though the conclusion then trails off at the end and vaguely says something like "if men use it ethically like women use manipulation like makeup to initiate LTRs, we wholeheartedly support it", which hilariously is neither advocated by the books they reviewed nor particularly effective for that purpose! they only ever compared the books against initial attraction, never against actual LTR effectiveness, so the study overreaches itself by making a recommendation.

with this study, it says almost exactly what i said about 5 pages back, well whaddya know:

Quote:
The more humble among us can take heart in knowing that despite these initial advantages, narcissists’ popularity tends to decline over time. The process may take several weeks, perhaps because people with dark personality traits are skilled at keeping their unsavory side hidden. However, since the hallmark of these personality traits is interpersonal exploitation, it is only a matter of time before those closest to them get wise to their ways and start to avoid them. When it comes to long-term relationships, either in fiction or reality, most people shy away from those with dark personality traits. Maybe that’s why in order to sustain our interest over multiple books or movies, that alluring vampire or villain needs to have a heart of gold.

this study was nothing to do with anything we have discussed, so i am not sure why you threw in this red herring. that entire study is negated by women who take the pill.

obviously i was going to actually read the studies you posted, which i think would have been a good idea for you to do as well. all you did was reinforce what i already said - that you are assuming too much about people. you cannot possibly know the myriad factors that go into any other person's decision making process regarding dating. you can speculate, you can chip away at bit and pieces, but you don't have the whole picture.

Quote:
You're at least marginally scientifically literate,

i am not so sure if i can return that compliment, considering the studies you posted. :/

no, you see it how you believe it to be, same as everyone else. that is our confirmation bias. you are no more objective than the rest of us. pessimism and misanthropy don't give you an unclouded view of the world - it's just a different filter.


I started out as a Christian who desperately wanted to believe that God really does exist and that evil doers will actually be smited in hell and all that jazz. I'm not exactly known for holding on irrationally to viewpoints once the evidence begins to mount against me. Really, I'd prefer a universe a little more flowerly like the one you believe in, but that's just not what the preponderance of evidence points towards. It's harsh, it's brutal, but it's the truth, an ugly truth I wish would go away but...it won't.

but your current viewpoint is irrational. i mean, you think you are an extra special person who deserves something better than other people. that is not really rational.

No, your head is stuck in the sand just like everyone else, that is my point. my head is in the sand too, i am not special. but my head doesn't hurt in the hole i have dug, that is the difference.


My head is stuck in a hole called "hard reality". Yours is stuck in a hole that wants to believe humans are some magical creatures that defy the laws of the universe and that true altruism really exists. While I envy the fact that it lets you be happy, I don't envy holding wool over one's own eyes.
no, i do not see a magical reality. i see the same world as you do, it is just that i filter it differently. your filter is no more accurate or true than mine is. i am not sure why some people have this idea that their own worldview is correct simply because... they are seeing it, but maybe someday they'll realise how absurd that idea really is. or not. for now i'll keep laughing.

Id like to say, it was suggested that negative people have bad things given to them due to their negativity. I find this concept silly at best, is it not possible they became negative due to how many bad things happen to them?

Of course. But it really isn't that nuts to suggest that when people's experiences lead them to develop that negative attitude, the attitude itself only exacerbates those experiences, and as a result they keep happening, and the person becomes more and more jaded each time, leading to even more negative experiences, resulting in a self-perpetuating cycle of loathing. Like a veritable Ouroboros of sh**.

Remember, this is all just speculation on my part and I don't claim anything I say to be necessarily true, I'm just expressing my thoughts.


I'd wager it is true. The worst part of having been handed a shittier life is that it's a positive feedback loop. Trying to crawl your way out of that pit is a non-stop endeavor.

that's the thing though. people in that negative loop have not necessarily had a worse life to start with. they may have actually had a better life than a person with a good attitude. i've been shocked to hear how good some people's lives are, and yet they carry some pretty crappy attitudes. often, their bad attitudes stem from a disconnect between what life they think they deserve and what life they are able to obtain.

a regular normal life is not good enough for them.
a regular good job is not good enough for them.
a regular partner is not good enough for them.

...because they deserve better than other people, and an average normal life with regular occurrences, like an average number of tragedies and rejections, or a normal job that doesn't involve prestige, is like they are getting flogged by demons in the seventh circle of hell, apparently.

go ahead and play "Crappy Life Bingo" between people with positive and negative attitudes, and i don't think you will find that people with bad attitudes had more instances of abuse neglect, rejection, poverty, unemployment, crime, tragedy, or any other marker of difficulty.

So? It doesn't matter what the books advocate, it has no bearing on whether or not the tactics and strategies work.

Quote:

A quick dive through the horrible world of Pick-Up Artistry will reveal that they've got a whole slew of tactics and strategies aimed at men trying to get and maintain an LTR. It's probably only a matter of time before a peer-reviewed study is done on that as well.

Quote:

The whole point is to show that human attraction can be understood and broken down. Sure not EVERYONE is attracted to "dark" personalities, but what those people ARE attracted to have perfectly logical and sensible explanations as well.

Quote:

It's not a red herring, it's meant to demonstrate that the myriad of funny human behaviors associated with relationships and sex have been researched and studied for some time now, and that many of the claims that don't even originate within the PUA community are steadily being backed by science. I COULD get a tailored list prepared, but I decided to settle for 3 links I had on hand, I'm only willing to put so much effort into an internet debate designed to kill a little bit of time.

Quote:

They were the last 3 I've read. You just didn't grasp my purpose in posting them.

Quote:
all you did was reinforce what i already said


...if you say so...I'm pretty sure it reinforced what I SAID, which is that strong, masculine, "alpha" traits are what women are attracted to (which all three studies address), and that female mate selection can be analyzed via science.

Quote:

Annnnd here we go again. Human brains are not black boxes incapable of being unlocked, we're discovering more and more all the time, and you can make hypotheses based on limited data, it's done in science all the time, and I hate to say it but you probably don't know much about that, because you're not a scientist. If you think scientists run around having 100% of the picture before they formulate hypotheses and theories, I'd honestly wonder how you think science ever gets anywhere. We DON'T know all of the myriad of factors involved in the decision-making process of human beings, but we're starting to understand enough of them to believe we're able to see the big picture.

Quote:

You misunderstanding the purpose of why I posted them has nothing to do with scientific literacy.

Quote:

If you don't think people that work extra hard don't deserve extra, then you're seriously the worst kind of leftist. I don't think I'm extra special, I just put in a hell of a lot of work and expect just return on it. Enjoy your evenly-trimmed poppies.

It is my belief that the world we see is the same, and your filter is wrong, while mine is right. Conspiracy theorists who think that reptilians have infiltrated our governments are also seeing the same world, but alas not all filters were created equal...kind of like men.

Respectfully, this is unlikely.

Rule number 1 - womens dating advice SUCKS

Being advised on dating by a straight woman is usually a disaster. They have no experience of your male role, so take everything with a pinch of salt.

your studies didn't demonstrate what you thought they did, because they all showed that there were always exceptions. so... people were not entirely predictable, as i have been saying all along. so much for your understanding of the science there.

and you're getting a little odd here:

you can stamp your foot and keep saying it over and over, but that doesn't make it true. you are correct in your eyes, i am correct in my eyes, and we will not see eye-to-eye. there is no right or wrong here, only a difference of perspective. i'm afraid we'll have to agree to disagree.

I saw 2 massive bull elephants fighting
On tv
The winner got to mate with the females

From the savannah to the city
Via conditioning
Females will be induced to mate with males that meet a certain criteria of acceptable standards
Aspie male characteristics are not totally without favour
Some engineers are needed
So minimal inducement is sufficient

Ive no idea what that is.

It was not a weird question. It was amazement at your POV and the VAST evidence that is counter to it

Incidentally are you an NT woman or an Aspie man?

You make so little sense

You're a noob to look at studies

Rarely are any wholly conclusive one way or the other - very rarely and usually when the study itself is pointless

yeah, it was. kinda random. i thought it was intended as a response to this post:

but as you have demonstrated on multiple occasions, it is highly unlikely that you will have a legitimate or serious response to my posts. you will just try to get a reaction instead. silly you! i'll leave you to that.
