I’ll concede the first point, but bear in mind that as I said, it is harder for men to change their facial appearance than women, so while I couldn’t comment on the magnitudes involved, I’d estimate it somewhat cancels out, at the very least. I also daresay, examining my understandings that lead to this point that my mistake was implying a direct causation where a slightly finer touch was necessary. Because let’s not pretend that more facially attractive men don’t have an easier time of it. Of course, this presumably increases their self-confidence, etc.
Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure 20% effort is too low to yield anything at all. I’ll let you know if I ever find a point where a given amount of effort pays off.
Hmm, I see what you’re saying. However, my counterargument, as I said previously, is that males start at a disadvantage, so even if they have an easier time evening the playing field, that still requires work I would broadly define as ‘harder’. Perhaps that is partially my individual biases talking, but I’m not the only person I know who has expressed similar sentiments.
My claim, to paraphrase yours, is that while men are more likely to hit the threshold with training, women are more likely to without. To be honest, I think I’d take that offset over mobility any day.
For casual sexual partners specifically, however, I would point out that the libido difference between men and women means I daresay the gender ratios in that sort of environment aren’t quite equal. As a result, I would expect a higher proportion of men than women are left without a sexual partner out of those who were looking for one.
