If he just said it’s better to expand the geographical search due to not enough women in general that just makes sense. The additional step to insult all women in the area was wild
The argument made (or implied) is that when women are not "plentiful" (his words) then you have a skewed dating market where men will on average date less desirable women than they otherwise would (and the least desirable men will find themselves without any dates).
Anyway, I don't endorse the professor's statement (and it's certainly inappropriate in a professional context). But the professor is at least correct in pointing out that a gender imbalance on the dating market makes dating significantly harder.
It doesn't mean women are bad. But the dating environment can be less advantageous to men in the bay area than other markets. Moving can be logical without implying anything wrong with women.
Again, he never said the word "all", and much turns on that word. It is you who is attempting to destroy nuance, by twisting what he did say into something more shocking, in the hope that more pearls will be clutched.
It is just not worth sifting through the sand to find the "normally" behaving women here. It is so much easier to date in literally any other city that it's not even funny.
If there was an under supply of men, for example after a war, the same thing would be true of the few remaining men.
His mistake was apologising when I suspect he knows he is correct, or more broadly, not having sufficient opportunity or resources to leave an institution that would force him to retract a correct analysis of a market.
No. He did not use the words "worse" or "categorically" -- you did.
Yes he did:
“You’ll be shocked by the stark differences in behavior of women in places where women are plentiful versus their behavior within artillery distance of San Jose and San Francisco.”
Slightly, but only in the 20–24 cohort. If you're looking for women 25 and older, there's a higher ratio of women than men in San Francisco County than there are in California as a whole, and nationwide as a whole.
People just hate to hear that the problem is them.
Especially by something written on an Internet forum by somebody we don’t know who probably was not talking about us.
Doesn't seem to be going that way, though, does it?
And not only do we feel offended for things that are or even simply could be about us, but also for others, and even when those others do not feel offended themselves.
That said, none of this has ANY bearing on his clearly misogynistic statements
What's clear is that you're not treating the man's actual words with any sort of grace or understanding. It's not sporting and it's against HN's guidelines. Assume good faith.
he never said there were not good life partner, only that they were INACECSSIBLE. he was literally answering to basically an (literal) incel complaining to not have luck with women
