If anything though the speed we are able to adapt is what is interesting.

In my own life I think of the sitcom "Head of the Class" as a kid. Basically, painted "nerds" and computer geeks as highly sexually undesirable. All signaling was that this is what not to do to get laid.

Didn't even take 25 years for that to essentially be reversed to the point of a computer geek being a type of peacock feather to flaunt and strut around.

IMO the point we are maladjusted for the environment we live in is highly overblown.



What? I work at a FANG and I can guarantee you there are very few peacocks there. I've had success on the dating market specifically through how I'm differentiated from my coworkers(into sports/outdoors, not obsessed with scifi/marvel movies, goes to the gym)


Is that because those points have negative appeal or is it just because they don't serve as distinguishing features since they're so common?
