About the original topic, as per my research, women are pretty schyzo when it comes to men...

There's the guy she SAYS she wants: sensitive and caring, tender and attentive to her needs. But when she meets him, she instantly friendzones him.

Then there's the guy she THINKS she wants: Successful, driven, dominating but in a kind way. Sort of the archetypal perfect manly dude, with kindness and tenderness mixed in. She doesn't do anything when she meets him because he doesn't exist. It's a continuously evolving and never quite clear fantasy that will forever remain fantasy.

Then there's the guy she REALLY wants: He doesn't give a shit about her. He's a real ASSHOLE and thinks all women are fuckholes AT BEST. She doesn't want him for what he thinks of women in general, of course. She wants him because his brutish roughness and callous disregard somehow triggers her loins to scream "ALPHA! THE ALPHA IS HERE!!!" While in fact he's not alpha, just dipshit.

So in the end she dates the 3rd guy and gets to feel sorry for herself that men are such jerks, then keeps dreaming and adjusting her fantasy about the second guy, while talking to her friends about how the first guy would be the perfect match for her.

There literally is no way to make a woman happy.

Hmm fair enough although i wasn't talking about my personal experience. The reason i was so confident was because pretty recently i had just read about this study where they scanned women's brains while showing them different stimuli and even when the women knew their brains were hooked up to a scanner they still couldn't bring themselves to be honest about what turned them on.

They hooked a probe up in her cooter that could tell when she was getting moist. Men got an erection measurer. They asked everyone to watch pornos and say when they were turned on. Men knew when they were turned on, gay men too. But women? They said they weren't turned on but the probe up her cooter said otherwise. Would like a link to the study as I've been looking for it.

There's this which goes into theories as to why as well as links to a meta analysis: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/love-sex-and-babies/201105/why-do-women-get-physically-aroused-and-not-even-know-it

Here's the meta analysis: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2811244/

That is a terrible article written by a woman who appears to be a feminist and is writing defensively and dishonestly.

Yeah that's just what came up when i searched for it now. I think where i read about it recently was when i was looking for research to back up a different reddit argument i was having which i think is pretty entertaining if you want to check out: https://www.reddit.com/r/LivestreamFail/comments/gltiei/actually_gonna_be_banned_omegalul/fr2f0ya/?context=3

Pretty sure it was mentioned in 1 or more of those links. On second glance it might've been in other articles i was scrolling through while i was looking.
