I’m sure I agree but your comment suggests you could summarise what else you think should be factored into the measure of success, and now I’m curious to hear it

At least OP said women and not “females”

Weaponised schizophrenia

Men are attracted to the “airhead type” because those women are good at making men feel good about themselves and keeping up lively conversation; and though people usually prioritise companions who have the same interests as them, they enjoy talking also to a lively conversation partner, perhaps someone as-different-from-themselves as possible: someone who surprises them.

Many men feel that all women have the “airhead” quality - no, not as in they’re all stupid, but as in they’re lively and conversational in that stereotypical way that disrupts the man-to-man conversation; and though they do not speak to men as equals (preferring to talk over them or jerk the conversation off on some other tangent, perhaps, or dwell on uniquely feminine topics which baffle/disinterest the male listener), this is seen as no big loss, really. For women are different to men, and their presence in our lives is welcome precisely because of that rather than in spite of it.

The important thing to remember is that people change overtime and every person is more multifaceted than massive media would have us believe - so yes, that is “just Hollywood.” Who’s to say why a man likes an “airhead,” she probably has more depth to her than you know about.

Pizza is a savoury cake.

Guacamole is so much nicer than avocado. I probably eat more guac than mashed potatoes, usually on toast or in wraps though. As the Aztec gods intended.

Hard to say if it’s Irish. It could be. But:

First printed recipe: English author Hannah Glasse published the earliest known recipe for modern mashed potatoes in her 1747 book, The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy.

The recipe: She instructed cooks to boil and peel potatoes, then vigorously mash them with butter, salt, and milk.

Obviously Britain and Ireland are very close to one another, and someone being English doesn’t mean they don’t have Irish parentage or tutelage or friends. (Even in those days.)

Britain + Ireland are also called “The British isles,” so unfortunately for the Irish, even if we disambiguate to include the possibility of it being an Irish creation, it will still be called a “British” dish - which merely makes it look like it’s English again, to most people.

Killing tapeworms is murder, but they’re parasites rather than humans so we don’t care.

I never trust the critics over normal viewers, lol. I am NEVER the second guy down
