And I think that's because it's less threatening.

Exactly.

Bingo.

I would think that was something to do with porn because...

And I also think that explains, you know, you say that women are attracted to sort of feminine looking anime men.

I think because maybe they've grown up watching very hyper masculine, like porn stars being really rough and violent with women.

And then they go for the non-threatening mate.

And then also they develop this view of men based off maybe the most brutal videos and seeing it from such a young age.

But then you develop, you generalize that to all men.

I also think something I've noticed is that young women are often, again, because self-actualization is the ultimate goal, they're often deterred from committing and relationships now more so than young men.

So if young men...

say that they're going to get engaged young, for example.

Other young men are usually happy for them, you know, like they've got out of the dating game and the dating market.

If women do it.

But if women commit early, other women express this fear for them, like, oh, you're going to give up some of your potential.

And I think that's because

we think that women had more to be liberated from.

And so now if women close down their options, we see that as suspect and we worry for them.

Well, I'm not obviously an evolutionary psychologist, but I see it from a cultural perspective that you have so many messages coming at young women to be on guard, constantly on guard, like looking for problems.

And so you have a feminist message that, you know, you have to be independent.
