@CpaFogle8004 @I_luv_ix I think that’s part of it, but I think a larger factor is that working-class women are unattracted to professional-class men’s behavior.

@MeridianMindset @I_luv_ix because the unspoken line in her post is: it's hard to find a man who meets these criteria "...and wants to marry you." Assortative mating: men are willing to date/marry down but not as far down as many think He has his own criteria too. Does the working class girl meet them?

If you are a working class woman finding a man who is not currently abusing narcotics, alcohol, or gambling, is stably employed, is staying on the right side of the law, is not abusive and is actually willing to marry before having children is genuinely difficult.
Lyman Stone 石來民 🦬🦬🦬@lymanstoneky

The point here is simple: Human capacities really are finite. A lot of the traits that show up as things modern women expect for marriage are a) traits they themselves do not possess and b) traits that large shares of both sexes do not possess "Men should up their game" doesn't work for that

@ClodiaMET @I_luv_ix A lot of white collar men are gay? Where the hell did you get that from?

@MeridianMindset @I_luv_ix White collar men aren't doing poorly in the dating market though? They are outnumbered by white collar women in most major metros and a lot of white collar men are gay so the ratio is even more off. On top of that these groups of people live in different places.

@I_luv_ix True, I think there’s a reason for that, the behavioral problems of the working class aren’t limited to men.

@MeridianMindset Men are more willing to date down economically than they are willing to date down socially/educationally. It's why teachers regularly marry white collar professionals but waitresses don't

@lxeagle17 There no office that can compare to the media circus that surrounds the American presidency, most people don’t know who their governor or senator is.

Data on this is highly questionable outside of an n=2 (Harris + Clinton). In the thousands of downballot and gubernatorial elections we have data for, there's no evidence women are less electable. Female candidates do better with women and worse with men, but women vote more.

AXIOS: Some top Democrats are quietly debating a fraught question: whether the party's best bet for winning back the presidency in 2028 is to nominate a man — perhaps a straight, White, Christian man. Former first lady Michelle Obama fueled such talk recently, saying the U.S. is "not ready for a woman." Democratic strategists have put it bluntly, with several saying a version of "It has to be a white guy." axios.com/2026/03/29/som…

Just like Austin is a P.O. Box for a tech industry with more footprint elsewhere, Dallas is basically NY Finance's janitors closet. Houston is the only city in TX with an economy that isn't four scammy toddlers in a trench coat, but its also a terrible place for a hedge fund. -OS

Austin might be worth it. But the truth is that Dallas is the only red-state destination has the scale necessary to support the HQ of a large multibillion dollar company.

@zapatas_mom Houston's fine, the weather is brutal, and the social scene is kinda meh. Austin is better but more expensive. Safer too.

I wanna move out of my small hometown.. it’s just not for me. Houston is a top contender for cities but gonna check out a few more before I decide. My must haves: -large numbers. I need large populations with lots going on -nice parks for my cardio -walkable areas that are affordable. I an a humble blue collar worker -relatively safe

@mattyglesias Also, Pakistan has a probably significantly lower median age, thus requires less physicians per capita.

@Staggly @PotterWorldW I'm not. I'm a normal human. Your words and pathetic attempts at insult mean nothing anymore, they've lost all power. White people are superior to everyone and niggеrs are the lowest value subhumans. No matter how loud you screech, it won't change and won't make me a bad person.

@I_luv_ix Makes more sense, wonder if this is being used for money laundering. Mules given cash, deposit it into bank account, and subscribe. Creator gets clean money she can transfer to whoever while keeping a cut.

I feel as if "true monogamy" is good, but very difficult/rare/fleeting to achieve on a societal scale. 99% of times and places (in practice) allow at least a minority of higher status middle aged males to have 2nd wives, mistresses, escorts, or divorce and re-marry. Exceptions would seem to be certain pre-1960 rural communities in the USA and N. Europe, along with groups like the Amish, etc.

Adam Driver is not going to be on a 10+ year HBO show.
Zach Henry@zhenryaz

@CultureCrave It’s kinda crazy how if they had just cast Adam Driver this would have likely been HBO’s most watched series since GoT

I don't think JK Rowling really understands sports as a concept because what do you mean individual players can bring their own vastly superior equipment that gives them an advantage.
