For a reason I can’t explain, submissions about attractiveness, gender-based discrimination and relationships between the sexes seem to be highly upvoted and generally have a lot of comments despite generating no actual intelligent discussions and often devolving into Reddit adjacent levels of reflections. It is a bit depressing.

I'm a guy in his 40's and you didn't actually supply me with any advice apart from "do as I say"... I see a lot of that these days. I've no idea who this Elliot is and don't really care - if you want to provide advice at least provide some substance.

This is an incredibly dangerous and anti intellectual way to think. The merit of an argument is always separate from who else is saying it, no matter how unpalatable a character.
