    Women really hold out for a hero - especially if he is attractive - as a long term mate. https://psyarxiv.com/kgpvy/ pic.twitter.com/UKm0ngLyl1

        A hero for a long term mate? Laughable. They need a stable provider to use for their needs.

        Sick to hear? Poor baby, my condolences. Help has a bit different implication. Just one example, recently Rolf posted a study that women prefer mates who work even if sick. Isn't it usage? But, I guess, for each its own.

        Tbh, it is stupid. Let's say you have a cow(C) and you hate it. But C brings milk and money. And now C is sick. No matter what you feel, if want to get your benefits in a long run, you are to make sure C won't grind itself to death, even if it means low productivity for a while.

        I cannot say your answer is wrong. Just bad management(no reserve of milk) and little empathy :) Guess I don't like it because I prefer to keep my "cows" in good conditions even if it means some inconveniences for me. Oh well, for each its own. Have a good day.

        Even if burned, does it matter? Your argument is of no value. Studies show different things. Probably? You haven't read it, but speak? Gosh, you are not Armstrong, you are Brainweak. Go play with dolls.

        So you are saying, that if someone had negative experience, then you can completely disregard his opinion because of conf. bias? You are laughable. Ok, ok. I'll leave the dolls for myself and you go play with your 10 cats, the only creature kind enough to care about you.
