Person A is less cuter than person B, how do you explain that if person B is into you but person A is not? I want a scientific explanation.

You’re not attractive to person a. Pretty simple.

Scientifically, you're the one putting forward a hypothesis, which is that your opinion of someone's attractiveness has some relationship to whether they're attracted to you.

You're seeing evidence to the contrary. When a theory is contradicted by the available evidence, scientists work to revise the theory, or reject it entirely if it doesn't seem to be salvageable. They don't whine about it and demand that the world explain to them why it doesn't match their theory. They find a new theory and go on from there.

I suggest considering the possibilities that you and the other people around you may not be looking for the same things in other people, that not everybody thinks the same way you do, and that something as complicated as human emotion is not likely to be well modeled by a simple theory.

Theory 1: person A is so traumatised by being less cuter (?) than another random person that they suppress all positive feelings for you
Theory 2: person A was deeply in love with you but Bill Gates (who’s also deeply in love with you) was jealous and flipped the 5G/Vaccine switch in A‘s arm

You say to person B: “you are objectively more attractive than person A”

A + B = C, scientifically.

I’m curious to know why you’re asking this question. Are you in this situation now? 🤔

Beauty is subjective. If you want to get scientific about it, you could reason that experience influences preferences. Because everyone has different experiences, everyone has different preferences. Also, beauty isn’t the only factor in attraction. Your personality, how you carry yourself, the conversation you have, your interests, and so on have a huge impact.

The only reason I ever pursued casual sex (a couple times when I was 17-19) was to not get my heart broken. It always sucked and was so boring. I don’t understand when people say they want sex with no emotions. It’s the best part.

Genuine question - why do people slide into DMs on here? Why would you spend time trying to get to know someone when there’s like a 1% chance you’re in the same geographical area and would have mutual interest in each other? Is it not better to spend your time on tinder or bumble to find people that are guaranteed to be nearby if you’re bored?
Edit: I mean DMs that are not platonic/networking 🙃

Thoughts on convincing gf to stay? 27M dating 28F for ~1.5 years. We knew each other in HS and reconnected during the pandemic. Everything was so connected, compatible and hot, and we planned a life together. We thought we met the loves of our lives. We moved to NYC in January. Lost intimacy and connection. She’s unwilling to work on things. Such a genuinely talented and beautiful woman, but has trust issues and depression from being overworked. Thoughts on convincing vs surrendering / leaving?

28M moved to Munich. Any F from DE or EU interested to connect please DM.

Has anyone ever been in a mostly platonic relationship? I don’t like to label myself much, but I don’t really like intimacy and don’t really like romance. Some people would say I’m asexual/aromantic, but unless that too is a spectrum, I don’t think I fit squarely into that group. As I get older, I’m realizing I’m feeling very lonely. It would be nice to find someone, but have it be platonic (any gender/sex). It’s weird, I know. It’s hard to articulate as well. Can anyone relate? 😭😭
