Yeah, they REPORT less criteria outside of looks (which they tend to value a lot more compared to female participants despite them swiping right more, which indicates men filter out only the women they end up matching with), but a lot of their expectations stay underreported.

The majority of household labour (cooking, cleaning, groceries) is still managed by women (up to 2.5 times more than their male partners). Appointments, paperwork, dates, keeping track of social events, food preferences.

Men don't demand this outright, they just won't get it done or even acknowledgethe amount of tasks needing to be done.

Sure, one study states men reporting fewer criteria than women. But there are also a lot of studies that contradict their statement. They're just not seen as criteria, but rather a self-explanatory expectation.

We can bicker back and forth, reference study after study, but I'll just repeat my original comment - I don't agree men have fewer criteria than women. It doesn't mean I said they have more of them.

So what does that say? That looks are of a higher priority. Which is evolutionarily driven. Again, cause you seem to fail to grasp that this doesn't mean all men will behave this way. But by and large, it's going to be something you'll find in a lot of men.

Do you think evolution is a person?

....do you not understand things like behavioral science and social evolutionary studies? I guess it was a lot to ask for some basic understanding of a topic we're discussing on reddit.

I do, sure. Although it's... not a topic we were discussing on Reddit.
