"Shoddy pop science"-- can you point out what is shoddy about it? What are its methodological flaws? What are its biases? Or do you simply not like the conclusions?

They weren't trying to extrapolate that, nor did they start with a foregone conclusion. Did you read the paragraph? From the study they were able to upend the same just-so stories you just tried to explain the variation away with. That greater mtDNA variation is, in fact, a result of less men being involved in the mating process than women. No ad hoc explanations needed.

This is just sad. Not only because you think you know somebody over an internet forum, but because it feels like you're begging me to come crawling back to you or something. How nerdy am I, exactly? Nerdy enough to settle for a woman because she plays RPGs? Do you think I give a shit what she plays? I seek a lover; someone fit for raising children. These frivolities are not on my mind when I assess a woman.

You try to speak for autistic females the world over, but you really just talk like a typical leftist defeatist. Earlier in the thread you said it's bad to pigeonhole people into high school cliquey groups because that's not reality-- but here you are pigeonholing yourself. You sound like a teenage girl, Wyldawen. Like a cliched outcast girl from a romcom. And you act more like an entitled MRA/gaymergater than anyone here.

I'm intrigued. Please start a thread on this.

Rather than hope to change female sexual behavior, we should aspire to get rid of the excess males. A sane society (such as Saudi Arabia) would send them off to rape and die in Syria

KSA's excess men problem is exacerbated by polygamy and hypergamy (the leaked State Department cables about young Saudi men engaging in downlow homosex imply many of these men would prefer to marry, but lack the material means and status to do so).

America does not have a problem of excess men so much as a shortage of fuckable women, never mind those who could be marriage material. A decadent liberal culture of permissiveness is a large part of the problem - and this isn't just tumblr SJW fat acceptance, but weakling cucks that think publicly shaming fat people is wrong .

If colonialism ever goes back into vogue, America could send its idle men off to Africa.

The number of men who think a woman is going to be their soul mate is staggering. They seek a perfect eternal lover from a population that is observably and notoriously different from them in profound spiritual and biological ways, and then they wonder why their marriages fail. I'll never support homosex but the Greeks and the older elite cultures of pre-XXth century Europe had it correct when they encouraged the romanticization of friendships and arranged their marriages like business deals.

Hypothesis: the romanticization of marriage tracks closely with the rise of feminism and the freedom of women to choose their own husbands without consequences (i.e. expulsion from the family and ostracism at her Father's command for defying his choice of a husband).

Sorry but this strikes me as a total inversion of the truth... Autists are FARTHEST away from a metaphysical worldview than even a typical modern person. Their entire plight is rooted in their inability to comprehend anything outside of the Rational

Agreed. I've never even heard this idea before. If anything, a schizo would be closer to a "shamanic" archetype – regardless, I don't think it's very useful to even make these comparisons, or to project too many of our contemporary neuroses onto the past.

This is a damaging effect of pozzworld's normalization. That one has to be vigilant of homosexual advances should they become spiritually closer with a male counterpart is a result of this normalization. Even if that intention isn't there. Profess your love or spiritual connection to a good friend and he'll likely change the subject out of discomfort.

It used to be that male bonding institutions like sport, or boy scouts, would enable a young man to flourish; now they are sterile and competitive, and serve no spiritual purpose for young men.

This is quite in line with the Aristotelian idea of philia which by all accounts, if one were to read his expounding on this concept in modern context it would have some seriously homoerotic overtones. Also true of Plato's Symposium, for what you have described as "the perfect eternal lover" he finds in eros between man. Women are out of the picture for this spiritual fulfillment.

Yes, exactly, there is a strong correlation between the rise of a visible homosexual community and the decline of male comfort with meaningful friendships. Homophobia is in fact a form of self-defense propagated by men who were no longer able to criminalize sexual deviancy because MUH FREEDUMBZ.

Also of interest is the female part in pushing this decline, women are often quick to assume and/or accuse a man of homosexuality if they find his emotional bond with another man too strong for their convenience or comfort, or if they don't understand why he isn't as into them as they want him to be. ("Not hypnotized by my breasts!? Must be defective!!")

That's another field where women had a strong interest in destroying that positive influence, since it serves to make men more dependent on them for happiness. I suspect that our kulchur's fixation on finding bliss with a woman seems literally insane to men from other societies. More important in this case, though, is the role of the increasingly dominant centralized state. As others have pointed out, men's clubs are intrinsically dangerous to the settled political order, since a state is literally an organization of men seeking to exert power to order the world. Any men's club is therefore by it's nature a potential source of insurrection and a constituency that must be appeased if one is to keep power. Better to prevent trouble by preventing challengers from organizing in the first place.

Very important point. The original concept of Platonic love between two men is now used to describe a relationship whereby a man loves a woman unrequited, and she, on a subconscious level, uses him for material benefit. A horrid bastardization of a wonderful concept.

I believe it stems from an error on man's part to idealize woman, to overestimate her spiritual relatability based off his initial attraction to her. Love endorphins like oxytocin or serotonin will also beguile him into thinking a deeper spiritual connection is there. Hopefully I'm not sounding too biochemically determinist and I'm not trying to discredit the deeper connection that man and woman share, but I think it goes to show from their lack of physical maintenance that male friendships are the spiritually stronger of the two.

Yes and this harkens back to white people assembling out of common interest. Social capital is always dangerous to an opponent. It's how movements are grown and strengthen.
