What I mean by anecdotal is indirect evidence that allows you to come to a conclusion. For instance, I can tell you that most inventions, civilizations, and scientific discoveries were produced by people with brown eyes. The majority of the greatest athletes in the world are athletes with brown eyes. Knowing that information, one may conclude that the brown eyed people are superior to people with a different eye color. Is that true evidence of superiority or is it anecdotal? Just as you are saying that you see something in animals and applying it to humans is anecdotal evidence. No scientist would say that because something exists in the bulk of nature that it exist in all of nature.
Most of my beliefs come from experience, what other people I know have been through, women I know, reading other people's stories, and data. I also understand that data can be skewed and sometimes have a motive for gathering data, so you have to look for correlation in other similar sources of study.

I don't want to put my own answer to yours. So I am going to verify and ask if you are saying that the evidence that you trust is anecdotal and inferred? You don't have any direct knowledge outside of women marrying up and animals aren't monogamous? What do you mean by anecdotal? There's scientific evidence for everything I said. Also, I don't want to accuse you of anything so let me ask you two questions. 1. Does your belief come from polling and your own and your friends' experiences? 2. When a woman dumps her boyfriend, is the next boyfriend more likely to be better (higher) or worse (lower) than the ex boyfriend? Shit...you edited it again. You've already provided your answer to number two. A woman will not break up with her boyfriend until she finds a better replacement. According to your logic, he will be better.

What you call anecdotal is actually called observation in science. It is the scientific method, which is the basis of all scientific works including the theory of evolution.
Anecdotal is when you look at your own experiences and make a conclusion.
Now that you know where my beliefs and yours come from it is clear which is anecdotal.

Anecdotal is when you look at your own experiences and make a conclusion. Now that you know where my beliefs and yours come from it is clear which is anecdotal. You have not produced any evidence. You haven't produced scientific evidence. You haven't produced evidence from experience. Here is what the scientific method is: a method of procedure that has characterized natural science since the 17th century, consisting in systematic observation, measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing, and modification of hypotheses.You have no experimental data from humans. You have no formulation on humans. You have no testing on humans. Since you say you can't observe or measure, than it is not the scientific method. As a matter of fact, my information is more scientific than yours because it deals with real people. Prince, at this point you are straying too far away from the topic of this post. You made a statement that you cannot prove. What's worse is that you haven't disagreed with me once with the exception that you believe in unconditional hypergamy and I don't. No scientist would say that because something exists in most animals that it exists in all. Especially since humans understand cause and effect an animal characteristic cannot be applied. Unless you have proof that relates directly to human women, there is no reason to try to convince me of unconditional hypergamy. Go do some real research and come back and prove me wrong.

I can tell you with 100% certainty what Prince isn't getting, and that's laid. I'll go as far to say that A LOT of women don't have replacements prior to a breakup occurring. Its hard for an insecure mind to grasp that however. Jackzero took Prince's crown.

I can't say women have a replacement before ending a relationship. Sometimes? sure. Most times? nah.

I've known women who'd stayed single for quite some time after a relationship ended. They grieve the same, some are pretty crushed and wear off dating a while - at least the healthy ones who actually do the work before jumping into something new. Of course there are ones too afraid to be alone who swing right into the next. Those are the ones I personally am concerned with in terms of being ready for a new relationship. If a girl told me she just got out of a relationship or has been on/off talking-to an ex up until a short bit ago from the time we met, for me that's a pretty big red flag.

Whether she's dumped you because she was cheating, or because she simply lost interest, she put out about one million signs first.
And 98.6% of the time it's not because some swinging dick swept her off her feet, or she wanted a little bigger cock, it's never her....it's you.
Typically it's a masked underlying character flaw or two that have surfaced.
