So I willingly broke a taboo, and I was misunderstood. Such is life :) I'll address each separately.

The misunderstanding:

It looks like you read me saying all women look for strong men and/or that women should look for that. I have no interest in either. People should follow their hearts, be themselves, etc. I am saying that empirically, and with big individual variation, on average, that is a fact. An important fact.

I'm also not saying that men should pretend to be who they aren't to get women. For one thing, they usually see right through that. But at the same time, if you don't understand what your potential partners need from you, you're probably not going to fulfill those needs.

The Taboo:

Saying it's "a toxic pattern" to talk openly about these things is a way of saying this is a taboo topic.

And of course I know it's sensitive, but I don't think it should be. These are very important things, and they need to be talked about and understood. Even though it's uncomfortable.

Alright, I'll bite. How did you arrive at this fact?

Was it through science?

Personal observation?

Did you read it in a book? If so, which one? And how did they establish it as a fact?
