      I have carefully worded my tweet text: Large sex differences in desire for sexual variety belong to the best replicated results in psychology, AND they become larger in egalitarian societies. As do other sex diffs, by the way, for which we have more large datasets.

      Datasets being large are a necessary but not sufficient condition for allowing them to be highly informative. “We gave English language questionnaires to a bunch of people in different countries. You won’t believe the answers they gave us!” is what much of this lit is

      The sex differences in height, blood pressure, and waist to hip ratio are not based on self reports. The waist to hip data, which were reanalysed, can be looked up in Chiappa & Sing 2017,

      Ok, fair enough as far that goes, but of course we still haven't seen that renanalysis!

      I think it’s reasonable to want more than a coefficient and a p-value. There are many ways for Schmitt et al to post their manuscript online…I’d like them to do so.

      Why are you picking on me? I took great effort & received, in good faith, data from a paper planned to appear in Behavioral & Brain Sciences. I have coughed up as much us possible, more than you will get anywhere else in the media or on the web. Why not address Schmitt or Buss?

          You’re right. It isn’t your fault and I did not intend to imply it is. My concern with your tweets is that you portray what I think is low quality research as meaningful.

          So I should not report on exciting results, from peer reviewed journals, by the leading experts, that the rest of the web and mainstream media don't even notice?

          Something tells me this is a common case of goal post moving for findings that don’t confirm ones priors. Confront two studies that jive with your intuitions with this level of arbitrary skepticism and call me in the morning.
