“A new study from Stanford shows remarkable differences between female and male brains. The researchers found no overlap between male and female, and rejected the idea of a "continuum."”

Results from the discussion section in the original paper.

“The brain features identified by XAI that reliably distinguished functional brain organization between sexes also predicted unique cognitive profiles in females and males.”

Just in time for National Orgasm Day, Caitlin and myself have new research up on the orgasm gap and short-term partner traits. Results in this thread. 🧵

First, the orgasm gap:

Men experience more orgasms in casual sex, especially during a first encounter. Image
Women who have an orgasm with a short-term partner are more likely to go on to have sex with them again in the future.

So - that first encounter matters! Image
Why is this? Overlapping hypotheses for the evolution of the female orgasm is its role in mate selection and mate retention.

Orgasm can help you select and retain good mates.

Revisiting beauty standards, many female fashion trends do not make women more attractive to men - and actually make them less attractive.

Men do not demand (or even like) these. In some cases they may appeal to a niche, but tend to impair attractiveness more than enhance it. 🧵 Image
Nope men aren’t demanding that. Lowest on the list:

Occasionally I read women say, “men do not need to look like a jacked and lean male model to attract a woman, therefore men face no beauty pressures.”

This is true - but also of women. You don’t need lip fillers or a BBL. In fact in many cases these make you less attractive.

There is a widespread perception that women face stronger pressures to be physically attractive, but it doesn’t seem clear to me that this is the case.

There is pressure to be attractive and how that pressure is experienced. This is where I think you see the differences. 🧵
The bodies that are modeled for men and women as the ideal are as unrealistic (if not more so) for boys as they are for girls.

Big things have been made of Barbie being unrealistic - but she a body that is within a natural and healthy range.

Not so for many boys toys:

Female models have been called “unrealistic” despite being real people, but what is clear is that they are simply conventionally attractive women who are thin.

Men who are handsome, lean, and also muscular are similarly selected for male advertisements:

I rarely comment on the “bad dating behavior” vid genre, but this one is worth seeing.

The affective shift between video part 1 and part 2 is remarkable. He calmly tells her he will just drive her home (after she refuses to leave the car because she doesn’t like the restaurant).
There is a lot of discourse on “entitlement” and “delusion” that I think is driven by these viral videos.

Understandable - it’s behavior that is entitled and delusional.

The behavior of a spoiled child.
