    Self-doxing is a major reason why I never tried dating sites/apps. You don’t have any chance there without a photo of yourself, and having my face posted online is a strict “no”. Especially since I don’t really look like an adult, which might attract some… unwanted kind of attention.

    But mostly it’s the fact that pretty much all men want sex there.

          I was told that a lot of women do indeed start to want “it” after forming a deep emotional connection with somebody. Yet to experience that. Most men are just horny at nobody in particular tho

            Women are very capable of being horny for horny’s sake.

            Women generally have to be much more selective for safety. The stats on sexual assault in US would astound anyone. Given how likely it is for a girl to be SA’d, or know someone who has, its no wonder they don’t openly express desire as much. Guys don’t have to worry about what happens if they change their mind at any poiny. At least not even close to the same degree.

              Yeah, very fair points. Just that lacking this desire entirely is very consistent with my experience, so I still prefer to assume most women only “unlock” it under said conditions.

              I think strip clubs are the counterpoint to “both sexes are equally horny.”

              Yes, male strip clubs exist but the vast majority are for people to ogle naked women.

                I don’t think the status quo is good evidence. We do studies because we know how messy life is. You could just as easily be proving my point as you think you’re proving yours.

                Why do strip clubs exist? Idk, but it could be because men are more comfortable being sexual. As there is less shame in going to a strip club than working for one.

                  You could just as easily be proving my point as you think you’re proving yours.

                  How on Earth would the overwhelming majority of strip clubs featuring naked women be evidence that women are as horny as guys?

                  But fine, remove the physical shame etc. Set your browser to incognito, google porn and let me know how long it takes before you find a site catering to women instead of guys.

                    Ya missed my point a bit. Maybe I wasn’t so clear. I’m not saying strip clubs prove women are more horny. I’m saying it is reaonsable to assume asymertic distribution of gender roles in strip clubs is influenced by our current culture more than biology. Given no actual evidence it is reasonable to see it either way.

                    Saying “Just look!” is as good as “Common sense”. Its extremely culturally embeded and not necessarily reflective of any underlying truth.

                    I’m saying you didn’t prove anything to me. I’m not saying whether anything is true or untrue at a global level.

                    Woman may be more or less horny than men. In my sample they are more horny. Maybe I’m just getting older.
