  • Why Gen Z Is Ditching Dating Apps

  • I mean, yes, sex is often free but if one gender is willing to pay significantly more it seems like a pretty reasonable indicator that one gender values/desires sex more.

    I dunno, just seems like you are very much determined that something is true with zero evidence. Some people have religion, you have this belief. Except with religion, there's not reams of physical evidence you've decided to disregard because you dislike the conclusions they represent.

  • Yes, romance novels are popular, relative to the dying publishing industry. In terms of money per industry, there's no comparing online porn to smut novels though.

    Basically, all you've been able to claim is that you have known some ladies you feel are as horny as you think average guys are and no amount of "okay, let's see if this holds up in the world beyond your perception of a handful of people" will change your mind. It's kind of wild in a silly little way.

    I'm super curious if there's any evidence anyone could present that would change your mind?

    Edit: Was curious, turns out global pornography (all genders) is worth somewhere between 10 and 97 billion annually. In comparison, the entire romance novel industry is worth about almost 1.5 billion.

  • Unsure where you're getting my sample from.

    I'm using actual things that exist rather than my own experience because I understand that my experiences are not universal and are inherently subjective. Making blanket statements based on anyone's experience is nonsensical.

    And businesses, like online porn catering to men are pretty decent proof that men are hornier, that's how capitalism works. Where a desire exists, businesses will fill it. Unless women are drastically poorer (a little so but hardly enough to rationalize an entire industry all but not existing) then a lack of demand indicates... you guessed it, a lack of demand.

  • As the conversation is about people who exist in the world as it is, not theoretical women in an abstract land, it seems perfectly reasonable to include the current distribution as skewed by current culture.

    Did you mean to respond to a different thread where people were talking about biologically and removed culture conditions?

  • You could just as easily be proving my point as you think you're proving yours.

    How on Earth would the overwhelming majority of strip clubs featuring naked women be evidence that women are as horny as guys?

    But fine, remove the physical shame etc. Set your browser to incognito, google porn and let me know how long it takes before you find a site catering to women instead of guys.

  • I think strip clubs are the counterpoint to "both sexes are equally horny."

    Yes, male strip clubs exist but the vast majority are for people to ogle naked women.

  • It seems that people like being in crisis, rather than having stability.

  • Thank you!

    For anyone who listened to anything coming out of the right wing media, they have been screaming constitutional crisis since the first of trump's trials.

    Anyone else get censored and banned at !usa@lemmy.ml for simply voicing a opposing opinion?

    Jump

  • Naw, you're confusing or conflating hate speech with disagreement.

    They are very different things. And to some extent, I get it, just like the trump bubble, things are easier when you are safely coccooned away from anything that challenges the narrative. I just don't have much respect for it from either side.

    I guess I can't ask you if you're just trolling to make the hard Left seem crazy, silly and generally unpleasant...

  • Oh interesting, thanks! I figured out the hashtaga bit but a lot of fun popped up without the hashtaga etc.

    I suppose I'll just keep muddling along and figure something that works for me while trying to be a net positive influence!

  • If your idols are youtubers and tiktokkers, their business model is selling merch.

    So opinions had to change.

  • Musk aside, it looks so goddamn stupid, I'd be embarrassed to drive around in it regardless. Like a cheap 80s movie version of what a futuristic car would look like.

    And as Others have noted, why would you want a truck that looks like it can carry less stuff than a motorcycle can?

  • I just find that over time the ones I use for my phone get trickier and require more jiggling around to charge at max speed instead of glacial pace.

    From reading the responses though, I think I may just be too hard on my cables I guess. (Also my cat loves attacking them but I'm pretty good about keeping them away from her.)
