6:13 A high percentage of those women who agree to go back to the apartment did the deed. A man should typically ask indirectly.
@andymelendez9757 Says:
There are always those alcohol influenced decisions. Makes me wonder.? The environments for this are literally in every American town. Are women beneficiaries of this?
I wonder. Whatever the culture is able to support for low consequence and safety.
Some women do seem to desire the one nighter. Recess time

The part on Confederates reminds me of a Gary Delaney joke:
"When I arrived at the venue earlier, a woman outside asked me to have sex.
I had to disappoint her.
We had sex!"

in this ginocentric era, with a lot of laws pro women, the consecuences of them of choosing bad are 0.
@samofrabat Says:
They are trying hard to make it sound like females make the choice, when it is merely attaching to a host (survival) which is parasitism
@samofrabat Says:
All of these concepts are mere social constructs. Females in nature don't have the choice that recently humans have set it out to be with females. The male is the dominant gender, and are driven by competition, it is the competition of men that drive evolution, not so much the female choice. In majority of mammalians, male enforce the rules....by view of the outcome of their competition, the law of the jungle and survival are the languages that dictate evolution
@Makepedrogreatagain Says:
Men choose on sexual attractiveness by and large. That why a rich guy will marry a waitress.

@rayrayjnr5724 Says:
generally speaking they prioritise their preconceived preferences and getting enough positive attention, they consider there friends and families attitudes then commit or shelve them based on whether they enable raising children. i dont trust anyone. because people will do those things subconsciously without even realising the commitments they are dragging someone else into.
@KevinFitzgerald-s4j Says:
This is all so stupid, from A to Z. "Sexual selection" presupposes freedom of the will, and neither of these men is prepared to grant that

Who’s here 2026 ?
@SillyGoose2024 Says:
here's what women do:
1) they size up a man immediately just like a man sizes up a woman. She is looking for (1) height (2) age (no old men) (3) fitness - not too skinny and def not fat and (4) good looking
2) then she determines what he does for a living or what prospects he has to make good to great money.
3) then she determines if the guy is cool, funny, energetic (vibe stuff)
* if you fail at #1, she passes over you without consideration of #2 or #3 and continues to scan for men who can pass #1 so that she can test that man on #2 and #3. Any failing grades on #2 and #3, depending on how high of a desired woman she is, she will start the whole process over again. And this is why you have the dating imbalance we see today where the high quality women are all chasing or being chased by a shortage of relative high quality men and the rest of the men are on yt watching videos like this.
@pedrosanchezgonzalez8693 Says:
I think all your theories are wrong because if that was true only few people would dominate so I think it’s more complex than that
@Darrius996 Says:
In that study you did not normalize for safety, women think MUCH More about their personal safety when they answer that question. Try the same test in a population where all of the men are assumed safe to be with and the number will go way up.
@Martinmarvin500 Says:
I would suggest the environment where the questionnaire was taken has an effect on the response, perhaps take it in a nightclub where groups and inhibitions are a factor in decision making. Also the mindset where 'going to the club' often has implications on the outset. Seen plenty of women 'hunting'.
Ask the same women in the week, would be like a completely different person.
Also, where the woman is in her cycle also has an effect on what she wants.

Pheromones of confidence and security in all aspects of life. Women look for that!
@peterwhite7428 Says:
Evolutionary psychology states that people select mates based upon likelihood of species survival and acquisition of resources, tgat could be money, intellect, strength. Etc.
@MendellHerve Says:
Gee, its a mystery what women want. Let me guess, tall, good looking, rich, confident and with "game," rich, popular, well hung, and rich. And also rich.

Why Women Don't Know How to Treat Men 😳💔
The Truth No One Teaches.
Women don't abuse men because they're evil. They abuse men because no one ever taught them how to love a man, respect a man, or support a masculine leader.
Boys grow up learning to protect, provide, and be gentle. Girls grow up being told they're the prize, the prize... with no guidance on reciprocity.
Society teaches men to give everything, and women to expect everything. No lessons in feminine respect, no modeling of affection, no examples of healthy polarity.
Instead, women were trained to compete with men, resist men, and mirror masculine energy. And then everyone wonders why modern relationships fall apart.
You can't give what you've never learned to give. And most women have never learned how to contribute, how to soften, how to create synergy, or how to honor a man without losing themselves.
Until that changes, the imbalance will continue.
True love requires polarity, reciprocity, and emotional responsibility on both sides. Women have much to learn, and the women who learn this are the ones who retain good men, attract great love, and build lifelong partnerships.

Women will always want more than you can ever have. Give up. They're all crazy and spoiled by design.

Shut up Jordan Peterson everyone is tired of you having high standards for men and letting them get away with their degenerate behavior. I'm tired of their misandry!

You’d be crazy if you want one these days anyway. What kind of restart would want attract a government sanctioned sociopath anyway? Hehe don’t listen to these guys the game has changed and the prize is not worth it.
@martina5328 Says:
The consequences for a man with regard to a child is...18 years of responsibility. That is not nothing. Sex is one thing. Relationship is something else.
@Brampage01 Says:
I don't think this is very accurate, I've met so many women that became single moms because they made poor choices. If women were focused on picking someone that would be good with kids they would target stable men. However, this is the complete opposite. Women find stability pretty boring and the feminist movement proved that with "Never Settle" "less or no kids or babies are parasites".
I know a lot of women don't think like that but the feminist movement that let to this negative thinking grew like wildfire which shows there is a link or desire deep down that women have to these things.
@optimusprimum Says:
I’ve had sex with over 30 different women. I did not love any of them. It was entirely because of how they looked or their ability to make me laugh and have a good time. The one girl I dated that I did not have sex with because she wanted to wait until marriage is to this day the one girl I still think about 20 years later.

@Mike_at_Voxmirage Says:
*NOT TRUE* In my experience, and much to my chagrin, a surprising amount of young, attractive women put out on the first date. Shockingly actually. But.. the caveat being that my experience in this is based on women I dated outside of any peer group we may have shared. So, while men have no problem with their buddy's knowing about their hook ups, women will hook up like men... but more so if they can do it in secret from their peer group.
