    There’s a difference between sexual attractiveness and desiring a life partner. When your society is degenerate, it’s all about lust.
  • She literally presented no argument. Just disagreed based on her feelings 😂
  • I am a woman. I have never, at any age during my adult life, counted the things this woman describes as important, as important. Honestly, she speaks like a person with an agenda, not focused on what is true, but focused on making a point that is intellectually important to her.
  • Physical attractiveness gets attention and draws you to someone, but as you get older you are more willing to look at all types of people and have a more open mind, and mental chemistry means a lot
  • When someone says "respectfully" three or four times in a sentence prepare to be disrespected.

    As a woman who's lived around a lot of girls and women for almost 30 years now, I can attest to the findings of the researches that Peterson mentioned. Women like competence and reliability. I can't remember women swooning over a man over his pnis size or shoulder length, but rather how good he is at something, and how sweet he is toward us. That's why you see beautiful women all around fall for guys who are questionably attractive physically Edit: Guys, I'm not saying women don't like good looks. What I'm saying is it's less of a priority for us. We like competence and reliability much more than pnis size and shoulder length. Which is more or less what Peterson mentioned and to which I am supporting. Cheers

    It's the overall package: certain level of physical attractiveness, confidence, genuineness, competence, character, and compatibility
  • @SpiritedTherapy
    Jordan, you are the reason I got myself in school to continue my education, and am now pursuing my PsyD in Clinical Psychology 😌 Thank you for all that you and contribute.
  • It’s not that finding a man we find handsome doesn’t matter to women, it’s that finding a competent, generous, caring man matters far more. We literally rely on you guys. Thanks for what you do 🙏🏼❤
  • I raised my daughter as a single mother, but there is no way I was able to do that on my own. My sisters and father were pivotal! I had to put my pride aside for their help, and my daughter is a well rounded, successful adult because of them.
  • @JakubsArchive
    You can tell Dr. Peterson is confident in his beliefs and arguing in good faith by the fact he invited someone who disagrees with his conclusions into a discussion
  • it's so refreshing to hear a feminist being so kind and respectful to someone she disagrees with! no screaming or throwing names. Very well done on both parts! enjoyed watching
  • @Lightitupp1
    Respectfully, they do list those attraction markers i.e. height, broad shoulders in men in the evolutionary psychology literature. It's literally in the authors book she said she's very familiar with, The Evolution of Desire by David M Buss.
  • @woollyprimate
    I read her book back in the day, and I thought it was great. Fast forward a few decades and I am exposed to evolutionary biology/psychology and behavior genetics/personality, and now I realize arguments based on claiming that people are socialized to behave certain ways are bunk. Of course women find certain things attractive. Both parties want an attractive partner (preferentially slightly more attractive than they are), but that’s mutually exclusive without some sort of subjectivity. You both can’t be the better looking partner. Somebody has to trade down. And the person who has more to lose if things go sideways is more willing to lighten up on the looks thing if she can get someone with good character who treats her well and will be there for her and the baby. The fact that modern women have been brainwashed to think casual sex with hot guys is the way to direct your life are being fed a bunch of crap that is leaving them feeling that they are missing something. Because they are.
  • @MTBforUA
    Prime example of how little a repetitive usage of the word “respectfully” adds to showing respect. Especially when compared to somebody who listens and answer according to what they’ve just heard, not according to their own bias.
  • “But I’ll wait for you to finish” AFTER she already interrupted him mid sentence. People need to learn how to have a conversation and listen to everything someone says and then respond in stead of thinking of your response while the person is still talking.
  • Let's not bash the respectful lady too much, she's engaging in honest debate with JP, he wouldn't want to see her insulted in the comments
  • @Illycrium
    Loved the respectful discourse of opposing views. No one got mad, only engaged.
  • Actual conversations and not fights! We need more of this in our interactions with other people~ Well done to both!
  • @sudosai
    Every time she said "respectfully" i sipped a glass of whiskey. Now I am down 5 bottles
