The funniest thing is I'm reading the reactions and all the men think it's cringe, horrible and humiliating. And all the women think it's great. lol

oh interesting, i answered fine | male but there's a nuance. i've never seen a personal ad from a *man* that i've liked. i mean it's not their job to attract me but still

I think dudes view dude personals as cringe because they instinctively want to place themselves ahead of mating competition
Also pls boost to your followers if possible, want bigger/more diverse n

that's probably part of it but i also cringe whenever men like... claim to have personality traits? like idk "i'm smart, funny, charming" bro show don't tell, why should i believe you about any of that. women either don't do this or do it in a way that feels fine to me somehow
True! I think if you change it from the abstract question to 4 passages of personal ads from moldbug and 3 others the male cringe will go to 99% in the poll.
