If pretty privilege exists, and I think that it does, should the prescriptions be to the pretty people or to those that give the privilege to them (society)? What prescriptions are there, if any?

I need to note, the demonstrations were of mostly secular women who leaned feminist (which is largely the representation of the average American woman). That's a bit of context that is relevant. From my anecdotal experience, theistic women (even non-Christian) tend to be a bit more based.

On a side note, I've seen demonstration after demonstration that women consistently think they are about 3 points higher than most people would objectively rate them (strictly superficially). Men are more likely to give a realistic answer. One could argue it's good to gas yourself up, but...

"Pretty privilege" refers to the social advantages and preferential treatment that individuals receive as a result of being perceived as physically attractive. Do you think this exists? If so, does it exist for both sexes? Are there any negative/disadvantages to being "pretty"?

Don't date Mormons! Jk-kinda

If you don't have much dating experience, I could see the utility on going on a blind date. Are the odds he/she will be your future marriage partner? Probably not, but it gives you experience that could prove to be beneficial one day. Even if the person is nothing like you are looking for, you...

I use to be active on reddit, now I mostly use it for ratings/reviews. Lots of garbage like that on social media in general these days.

I think they are referencing more meaningful details about yourself.... Like if you prefer chunky or smooth peanut butter or if you think pineapple belongs on pizza.

I believe the sexual revolution is largely responsible for this dynamic today. Men and women scratched off many virtues (chastity/purity for example) and marriage-minded relationships in exchange for promiscuity. That instant hit of dopamine makes us slaves. The only remedy is abiding with Jesus...

I am getting tired of people just making assertions without any arguments. It's why I sometimes just have to step away for a few days or weeks. I strive to engage in good faith with arguments and points... if someone disagrees, that's okay... put poke at my argument/point before trying to make...

Yes, to be fair, I have known many families with similar relationships too. Would you say from your experience, those types of marriages correlate with older, middle-aged, or younger couples?

I've met numerous Christian women who claim to be submissive (married) and claim to be willing to submit to their future husband, but in reality, they will only submit provided they agree with whatever the husband decides. That defeats the whole definition and point of being submissive. I'm...

Dish washers seem like way more work than simply washing a dish after you use it. Food typically comes off a lot easier immediately after using it too. I mean, prerinsing the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher is doing 85% of the cleaning already.... May as well do the last 15% instead...

Firstly, listen to what most people are saying about finding a woman who fears and loves the Lord. Secondly, hitting the gym certainly won't hurt. :unsure:

Fair point. Even drinking too much water could cause hyponatremia which could be deadly. But then this sounds like an argument for "moderation in all things", perhaps including, extracurricular sexual activities? I guess I'm still unconvinced it's morally wrong, but an argument has been made it...

I could be a man or woman too! :D

How do we know definitively that Adam and Eve DIDN'T do other sexual acts? I agree that often times we get things put in our head by society (be it good or bad), but your point has a huge presupposition, doesn't it? So far, I think the most compelling case is that other activities could cause...

I'm not one to shy away from criticizing Trump when he does something worth criticizing, but I think left-leaning people would attack Trump regardless of his position. If Trump "was tough on Putin" and didn't want to negotiate a peace deal with Russia, then he would be called a warmonger. If he...

I read that it was around $350 billion, but not all of it was in the form of arms/financial aid. It took billions to update/fix/repair arms to then send them. So even though they didn't receive $350 billion, the hit to the tax payors was around that figure. I am by no means an expert on the...

This is where I go in circular arguments with myself trying to sort it out. I think it's perfectly reasonable for Zelensky to want security agreements prior to signing a minerals deal especially since the world didn't do anything in 2014 when Russia invaded... however, this would make us all-in...
