Beauty myth: men don't care about your career, talents, or intelligence, but only your appearance.
Beauty fact: talents and intelligence matter, and some careers are more attractive than others. The approximate rule is that bossy jobs are less attractive.

BE LESS BORING: A PLEA

It should go without saying that being less boring makes you more interesting. Including to the opposite sex. But in this thread I'm going to spell the argument out and BEG you to be less boring. Pretty please. Most people today are boring. More boring than they were in the last century. Social media and especially tiktok have caused mass zombification.

The ideal zoning for a big-city landlord is that the entire population of Planet Earth has to live on a space-elevator erected on his land, sending the rent he earns to infinity. Imagine all the creative justifications he could invent for this zoning. The more people he crammed onto his land, the more money he'd have to pay influencers to invent even more fake reasons to cram even more people onto his land, increasing the rent he earns further.

WHAT I LEARNED BY STATISTICALLY ANALYZING OVER 200 SHORT HENTAI VIDEOS

Lol. That's quite a title, isn't it. But it's true. While I mostly skimmed them, I counted what I could count and searched for whatever patterns I could find. In this thread I'll explain what I found. First, "male behind" is a lot more popular than you might think. Some are skeptical about this and say it only turns out this way because the camera doesn't show what the male would really see from behind. However, it remains much more popular in POV videos too.

SEXUAL POSITIONS IN HENTAI VIDEOS

Male behind 55%, male in front 20%, cowgirl 18%, reverse cowgirl 7%. N=207.

Do you consider this a good reflection of real life? Is from behind really three times as popular with men as from the front, or is this preference specific to videos? Do you believe the chart above roughly reflects men's real-life preferences? Looking for responses from men only.

WHY AI GIRLFRIENDS AREN'T JUST A FAKE SCIENCE-FICTION WORRY

AI girlfriends are the natural outcome of technology we're already using. In this thread I'll explain why, and why it matters. AI girlfriends aren't just science fiction anymore.

Such a miraculously moronic exchange that it amounts to a novel proof of God's existence. Upon reading this in the afterlife, every theologian of centuries past begins compulsively quaking and shaking with jealousy that he didn't live past 2010. Incidentally, disinterest in learning from the great minds who came before you already shows lack of merit.

DON'T FIGHT YOUR STRENGTHS

Your standout traits attract the members of the opposite sex who most like those traits. If you're cute you're going to attract men who like cute. If you're exotic you're going to attract men who like exotic. You should lean into this, not fight it. The same applies to men. If you're rich you're going to attract women who like money. If you're an athlete you're going to attract women who like athletes.

In each case you're going to have the best choice of mates if you embrace the ones who love your strengths.

WHY THE DEATH OF SOCIAL MEDIA IS INEVITABLE

Measures to contain bots and make social media a place where real humans communicate will fail. This thread explains why. Because LLMs are hard or impossible to distinguish from humans, we'll soon institute stricter rules about who can establish a social-media account.

Before the Ghibli event I didn't understand how much tech bros hate artists and wish to harm them. More broadly, tech bros don't distinguish people and things. To them all beings are thinglike, without aura or personhood. When they worry a being can't be understood as thinglike, they want to destroy it; or at least to destroy whatever aspect of that being eludes thinghood, and replace it with a dead thing that fits the impoverished categories they use to understand the world.

Describing this attitude as autism seems to me too charitable.

Japanese men are said to be obsessed with youth. And yet they're the ones who came up with these viral AI milfs. Why?

The two main elements of beauty are curves and youthfulness. The less you have of one, the more you need of the other. This suggests another explanation...
Since we all look older with time (for now), curveless girls peak early and decline fairly sharply.

Now, if you're in a country where curves are in short supply, sex appeal in that country will, in general, peak early and decline fairly sharply.

If landowners hold rather than build because they might realize more value in the future than in the present, then promising to permanently restrict zoning to low density should INCREASE the flow of housing by reducing the value of the future option. Opposite of the YIMBY claim. "Don't just let builders build."

AGGRESSIVE INDIFFERENCE: WHY WOMEN DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK

Ever wonder why women seemingly go out of their way to be unattractive and unseductive to men? In this thread we're going to find out... A toxic cocktail of bad modern ideas has convinced many women that NOT CARING about male desire is the ideal feminine attitude.

In the next few posts I'm going to explain the ingredients of this toxic cocktail.

HOW AI PERMANENTLY MAKES EVERYTHING LESS MEANINGFUL

I usually write hopeful, optimistic essays. I figure you're all bored with that. So it's time for change. If you're in the mood for relentlessly dystopian pessimism about our meaningless future (and who isn't?), read on. AIs might use the same words that humans use, but they don't mean the same thing. When an AI says "hello" or "I love you," these phrases are meaningless in a critical respect.

I've run several HUNDRED beauty polls. Here are the five most interesting results I've seen.

When a human says "Hello" and a computer says "Hello," the meaning is very different.

In the former case the word carries a whole host of implications about the speaker's mental state, emotions, and relationship with you. In the latter, none of these even exist. There's a more complicated third case. What happens when a fictional or roleplay character written by a human says "Hello"?

"What men find attractive changes a lot over time."

Top sex symbol of the 1940s: "Only wimpy anime geeks who live in their parents' basement like..."

Hm. Wimpy otakus and... wimpy GIs returning from Normandy Beach?

Right.

Dear readers,

I'm too busy for regular posting at the moment, but here's an update on what I have planned for the coming months. I feel DISPELLING BEAUTY LIES is finally complete. Of course, I've said this before and been wrong. In the past I wanted to be done but was forced back by a nagging sense there were important things missing. With the long section on seduction I believe I've now closed those gaps.

WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO REVIVE ROMANCE?

Romance depends so much on random matches that can't be foreseen in advance that we assume nothing can be done to make it more likely. I don't think that's true, and I'll share some ideas in this thread. First off, I agree that there's not much room for any positive “science of romance.” Beyond a baseline of physical beauty, incomprehensible, random factors become too important.

That's why I suggest the opposite approach: focus on the negative.

My views on the Tates and other redpill thugs now being embraced by so-called "conservatives"

1. The redpill is crypto feminism. Macho posturing doesn't change that. 2. Passing off thuggery as masculinity creates a rift between the sexes that has negative repercussions for all of us, both personally and socially. It's the male counterpart to shrieking lesbian feminazis.
