Me too. I also suspect "mating success" is negatively correlated with eudaimonia these days, but who'd want to go there?
Note: Dating is not tinder.
Just wanted to pull this one out, because the socially acceptable hobbies have shifted a bit over time; "nerdy" hobbies are more commonplace these days. I mean my girlfriend is playing FFXIV downstairs at the moment.
That said, model trains, while of course super cool, won't get you very far.
To this day, my wife is the only woman on Earth who has ever noticed my existence (and even there, she's only with me for the income provisioning).
My pet hypothesis is that sexual success with heterosexual women almost exclusively boils down to facial aesthetics: symmetry, midface ratio, interpupillary distance, collagen and elastin production, mandible forward growth and width, eyelid exposure, zygomatic protrusion, orbital bone thickness and radius, ramus length, etc.
You're very likely blessed with good facial aesthetics.
But who knows? What I do know for certain is that the coefficients of height, wealth, and muscularity are precisely ZERO in the attraction equation.
wow, eudaimonia is my word for the day.
> Eudaimonia (Greek: εὐδαιμονία [eu̯dai̯moníaː]; sometimes anglicized as eudaemonia or eudemonia, /juːdɪˈmoʊniə/) is a Greek word literally translating to the state or condition of 'good spirit', and which is commonly translated as 'happiness' or 'welfare'.
