>> In contrast, women tend to engage in especially vigorous mate retention efforts when married to men who have good jobs, high incomes, and devote a lot of time to status striving.
That is unless government steps in to guarantee 50% claim of men's resources regardless of retention efforts.
"A woman's desirability peaks at 21, which, ironically enough is the age that men just begin their "prime," i.e. become more desirable than average. Following that dotted line out, you can see that a woman of 31 is already "past her prime," while a man doesn't become so until 36. As we mentioned above, after age 26, a man has more potential matches than his female counterparts, which is a drastic reversal of the proportion in young adulthood, when women are much more sought-after. Because men's dating preferences skew so young, and women's are age-equitable, men peak later, and have a longer plateau of desirability, than women."
EDIT: Don't shoot the messenger, I didn't make the personal choices underlying the dataset.
EDIT 2: I'm very curious how this data correlates with data about vast swaths of underemployed or completely unemployed men who simply aren't interested or able to compete in the economic system to signal status to attract a partner:
along with the data that women are more particular about dating men below their own education level, causing there to be an imbalance between women and men in the dating pool:
http://www.vice.com/read/youre-single-because-there-arent-en... (TL;DR There are enough men, just not enough that meet the standards of single women in the dating pool; law of unintended consequences of societal employment changes, men's attitudes shifting from past generations about what happiness and responsibility looks like, and much larger cohorts of college-educated women in the dating pool)
"So, where are all the men?
I mean they exist, they're just not going to college. This isn't China or India where they have a man-made gender imbalance because of all sorts of horrendous things. [Men are] out there, they're just not going to college. Last year about 35 percent more women than men graduated from college."
"But there have been multiple studies on this and it turns out Americans have become less likely, over the past 50 years, to marry and date across educational lines. So educational intermarriage—I don't know if that's a real term, maybe I just made it up—is at its lowest rate in 50 years."
Interesting, reminds me of some old provocative article by Timothy Reichert "Bitter Pill" someone told me about sometime back. In that instance it was something along the lines of women being in a prisoners dilemma with regards to contraception and some economic market analysis stuff about women's SMV although I forget if he used that term or some other form of market value applicable to the ladies.
What? I don't know a single developer out of ~10 across multiple companies that would have to work more than 8 hours plus 1hour lunch break. Outside of London you get 37.5 hours weeks. Hell, I know contractors who work 1-2 days a week from home! But yeah, the money is crap mostly.
You should've laughed to divert any suspicions. When someone makes a racist joke about me I chuckle and wait for my turn. Because I don't want to watch what I am saying all the time. He did not make an attack, he lowered his shield. And then suffered the consequences.
Like, it was violent and creepy and Elliot Rodgers-esque. I would have looked like a psycho to the other co workers if I laughed. As it stands, the offending co worker looked like a psycho.
(He got fired. But I was a bit scared for my safety.)
If it was violent, creepy, and reminiscent of a mass-murderer comment directed towards women, I would think it a good thing that people would suspect you were the one to stick up for women, seeing as you had the most to fear from such a hateful person. It's a good thing that at least one person reported them, since the unfortunate human norm is for a bystander to ignore those in need of help / defense / solidarity.
If "everyone assumed it was you" and then gave you "the side-eye" for the consequences of this nasty person's comment's getting reported, fired, then this seems like clear signal that that workplace was no good in that way and it's time to find friendlier waters.
How do you think this would have gone differently had there been two more female employees? The hateful one would have kept a tighter lid on their true personality? The side-eye would have been more them vs us, or again, left thought but not expressed?
Lack of diversity doesn't suck assuming the company hired the best talent for the role. Diversity for the sake of diversity is horrible and makes you dislike the people for just being there
Asians seem to be doing fine, though? Oh, I forgot, the [hated_group_name] is redefined until it includes all people who achieve academically. Also her sexist remark is really not necessary :(.
"Melanie took over as the math teacher for the girls, however she did not teach math, she used the subject for female empowerment, talking about "how numbers make you feel," "what does a plus sign smell like" and "is the number seven odd, or just different" while disapproving of men treating math like a problem that needs to be solved, none of these being actual math subjects as math 'is' about solving problems."
Well, the entire premise was "your script-kiddie GUI code, but on server!". Microsoft on the other hand is just chasing the ball (Node/Python) or where it will roll (TypeScript, C#).
