Have YOU, personally, gone to prison for years? If not, then QUIT THINKING ABOUT IT. Whatever your personal version of social justice amounts to, you'll never see it in your lifetime, so stop thinking about it.
No and I agree nothing will change. I am tempted to write to female prisoners. Do you think it is a good idea?

You're interacting with a Ph.D. level expert in statistics while generalizing the traits of two groups from overlapping distributions from those two groups, DT.
Yeah, but she's a woman so what does she know other than she makes more than her male peers who are being held down by women crowding them out in the mathmatic and statistical fields donchaknow?

Note: 45% of me finds it hard to care about this thread and yet, the remainder of me is now amused out of my skull by it.

It was Shade's YELLING that did it. Thanks, Shades!

I am thinking. I would introduce myself, send them one picture, and tell them that I am looking for penpals and friends. What are your suggestions?

I suggest you learn to cultivate real life relationships with women. Preferably non-felons.

Many men in their early 20s do date 16-17 year olds, it is more common than you think, especially with minorities and Mexicans.
You seem to have neglected to post a reference to the data or report from which you've pulled that assertion. Please can you cite your data?

and you can't even keep yourself to a level of caution in conclusions you can find in articles about books about studies citing its most controversial figures.
Okay, I did more research. Another "study of 4,764 men and 5,389 women in 33 countries and 37 cultures showed that sex differences in mate preferences are much larger than previously appreciated and stable across cultures. "Many want to believe that women and men are identical in their underlying psychology, but the genders differ strikingly in their evolved mate preferences in some domains," said co-author of the study and psychology professor David Buss...Researchers found that they could predict a person's sex with 92.2 percent accuracy if they knew his or her mate preferences... Women seek older mates with good financial prospects, higher status and ambition."

I am trying, but it is not easy because I don't have a lot of opportunities. There aren't many good clubs around and girls in the gym always have headphones. You are a creep if you go somewhere by yourself to talk to women. Hopefully I go to Las Vegas with Dr. Exiled.
