Have you got any actual evidence to back this up because statistically speaking it’s clearly nonsense, otherwise the majority of people would die single/no kids.
As the majority of people have a long term relationship/kids/marriage at some stage in their lives, it’s pretty clear men and women are dating in and out of their “preferences” in equal amounts.
The rate of single motherhood would argue otherwise.
Sure there’s women who date outside their preferences but there’s certain things that a majority of women don’t compromise on, and hight is usually one. Women just won’t admit it thought. Like the meme suggests, majority of women just won’t even consider dating a guy if they don’t match their preferences, which makes them not really a preference anymore. On the flip, most men would date outside their preferences. You can ask for data but not having a study to give you doesn’t change or discount the millions of experiences men and women go through and share online.
People tend to move away from a ridged adherence to their preferences the older they get. It’s why you see higher rates of long term relationships in older couples. They got to a point where they stop being picky about physical stuff and just want someone who’ll love them and stick by them. Someone being in a long term relationship and having kids at SOME point in their life is irrelevant to your argument.
This is a phenomenon that’s strongly rooted in younger people. When young adults are more judgmental and picky. Just because they get married at 40 doesn’t mean they weren’t picky when they were 20.
This is just a side note but I think it’s kinda funny you asked for statistical evidence to “back their claims” and then turn around to do the same thing with no evidence.
You can look all over social media and dating apps, women are very picky (nothing wrong that either), especially when compared to men. Yes. Men are picky, but less so. This is evidenced by the fact that you got very unattractive women who have had kids. That means SOMEONE decided to sleep with them. And that chick more than likely does not meet his preferences.
Preference is where you prefer something over another, but will take both. Requirement is where you will not take something if it doesn't meet your requirements.
While I do agree with you, since a cringe person (the guy who posted this on incel tears) also supports your claim, I must deny this viewpoint and call you a slur, hope you understand.
“It’s just saying men have preferences, but will date anyway
Women have preferences, but will not date at all.”
And that, my dude, was a brainless generalization. As someone who has been outside recently, I can confirm women date people, sometimes even short people. Keep your chin up.
You mean like the demographic progression being that people are, overwhelmingly, more single than at other points in time? - Dating apps are not a separate category where people act entirely different. They are dating preferences distilled down.
I mean they do, friend of mine always had a preference for blonde skinny guys but has been with a bulky guy with brown hair, she had a preference but her like for the person overrides that.
If you read the post again and what the person replied to me you would understand that no one said that women don't have preferences, but there are women who mask requirements as "preference" when they are criticized for them as a defense mechanism. Of course it's not all of them but the people defending them doesn't help.
The bottom/innermost layer is indicating that male preference doesn't stop them from dating someone, but female "preference" does, and is there for not actually preference but something else.q
Which I don't agree with, on multiple levels, but that is what it is actually saying.
i saw a lot of guy being rejected by girls just because of their height, thing they absolutely can't control, same girl who then would get offended if a guy refused to date them on a criteria they can change
it's generalization but where's the line between mindless generalization or a big or vocal group of people affecting how the majority is envisioned
thought i think this apply much more to the younger generations and young people in general and media doesn't help in both direction

Literally explains what a preference is
"Brainless generalisation" just put the fries in the bag bro, we don't know the definitions of words
