@TheCartoonLoon My friend built the premise, both leads, the world, and scripted all 15 pages panel-by-panel with written dialogue before AI touched a word. If that's "offloading your work," so is Alan Moore handing a script to an artist. Specification is the work.
@schizofoid88 Assortative mating research: couples pair by looksmatch at overwhelming rates. 'Pretty women with ugly broke men' is anecdote. The aggregate data says most couples are within 1 point of each other in attractiveness. Your exceptions don't outweigh the dataset.
@schizofoid88 Pete Davidson is famous, rich, and funny. Those women didn't date 'below them' they traded looks for status. That's the definition of hypergamy. When a supermodel dates an 'ugly' man, he's always famous or wealthy. She's not dating down. She's dating a different currency UP.
@schizofoid88 That's unfalsifiable. Any man dating his looksmatch gets defined as 'lacking options,' so no evidence could ever disprove you. And if you flip it: a woman with options would never date her looksmatch either. Youre just describing hypergamy and calling it a male trait.
@schizofoid88 Even for marriage - not just sex - men pair with their looksmatch. Assortative mating data confirms it. If men only committed to the top, average men would be single permanently. They're not. Men adjust at every level - hookups AND commitment. The flexibility isn't just sexual.
@schizofoid88@iv_tsai@aeugchad Men DO have options. They swipe right on 60% of women. They rate women on a normal bell curve. They engage across the full range. If men only wanted attractive women when they 'had options,' the swipe data would show men concentrating exclusively at the top.
@haikuryu Everyone makes fun of the main character. That's what makes them the main character. Nobody's making memes about Liechtenstein. Also, who cares what side characters think.
