Yup. There’s a reason IG is a powerful dating platform if done right.

A woman moves up in society when she looks good, keeps a comfortable home etc A man moves up in society when he has more money. Neither is better or worse it’s just the way it is so it makes sense that they gravitate toward platforms that help them improve

Pinterest is such an interesting channel. I never see brands that sell there, yet it seems to make the most sense to sell a product for women. Maybe cause I am not a woman🤣

And yet they want equal pay for those that prefer scrolling pictures all day vs those exchanging ideas all day.

Men care about things. Women care about people. This a huge generality but it's a good starting point to understand the macro trends.

I wonder where Substack is. It's very ideas-oriented and seems about 50-50?
