3 interesting findings:

1. On Tinder, women in their twenties are roughly twice as likely to swipe right (“like”) for the same man if he has a master's degree compared with a bachelor's degree.

2. Sociometric status (respect and admiration from peers) is a stronger predictor of happiness than socioeconomic status. This finding held up after controlling for gender, ethnicity, and extraversion.

3. From Thomas Sowell’s book Vision of the Anointed: “The family is inherently an obstacle to schemes for central control...Engels’ first draft of the Communist Manifesto included a deliberate undermining of family...Marx was astute enough to leave that out of the final version."

3 interesting findings:

1. In contentious disputes with another person, a man is nearly twice as likely to apologize if his adversary is a woman and 3X more likely to physically attack if his adversary is a man.

2. Despite being only 1.2 percent of the population, psychopaths commit 30 to 40 percent of all violent crimes.

3. When two women are engaged in conversation, they usually face each other. But when two men are engaged in friendly conversation, they almost always stand at an angle of about 120 degrees, so that they are nearly standing side-by-side. This is because typically the only time men stare straight at each other is when they are about to engage verbal or physical conflict.

Lots of discussion at the sexual revolution debate about whether the revolution failed men, or failed women, or helped men more than women, or helped women more than men. Nobody asked whether the sexual revolution failed children. People already know. Too depressing a topic.

The sexual revolution did not fail— it succeeded in its aim: more freedom. Today people (esp women, are less happy but more free. What’s more important—happiness or freedom? For adults, freedom. Better for people to have the ability to choose badly than have no choice at all.

But children lack the maturity to make good choices, so for kids happiness is more important than freedom.

So what’s more important, happiness for children, or freedom for adults? Our society has decided, and there’s no going back.

“A stringer is a man who strings women along…they con women into wasting the years when they are most attractive and most likely to get a proposal…If a man had even one long-term relationship with someone else, he’s very likely to be a stringer.” today.com/health/reason-…

On average, for every guy who perpetually strings girls along in relationships with no ring, he is responsible for two women who remain unmarried into older age.

Male survey respondents were most likely to answer honestly if an older man asked the questions. But if the surveyor was a younger man or a women, male respondents would give canned politically correct answers.

Three interesting findings:

1. People who believe that it's wrong to have children (anti-natalists) are much more likely to score highly on Dark Triad personality traits (psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism).

2. Study with more than 11 thousand participants in 45 countries: Attractive men and women are viewed as relatively more intelligent, dominant, trustworthy, confident, responsible, caring, and sociable. They are also viewed as less weird and more happy.

3. The average age of a founder of a highly profitable tech company is 42.3 years old. The media-driven belief that successful founders tend to be young is untrue—older founders consistently have higher probabilities of success.
