"people give more weight to their dealbreakers...than dealmakers when it comes to dating. People with higher 'mate value'—that is, people with greater quality and a higher number of qualities we look for in a partner—reject more traits as dealbreakers" a.co/d/034rDbjS

Christian Bale's nonprofit recently opened Together California, a foster-care village in Palmdale, outside Los Angeles. The $22 million development will house as many as 72 children and their caregivers. The village includes a playground, a community center, social services and studio apartments for young people preparing to leave foster care. One parent in each household will be paid to manage the home full time. The homes also have enough bedrooms for large groups of siblings to live together. Mr. Bale told the New York Times that keeping siblings together was one of his priorities. He's right about the trauma of separation, @robkhenderson writes for the @WSJ: wsj.com/opinion/free-express…

Such a stupid argument. Who cares if selfish motives are involved if bad people are still identified. Weirdly if the film depicted Hansen was a total saint with pure intentions yet failed to catch a single pedophile, a lot of idiots would view him as more of a hero.

"Because more boys than girls are struggling, we sometimes act as if only boys are struggling. But the so-called boy crisis is actually a more-boys-than-girls crisis...if we focus too intently on boys' difficulties, we may overlook girls in the same boat." swiftpress.com/book/a-billio…

Throwback to 5 years ago. One of the funniest survey results of that era.

Many such cases

RT @reihan: Roland Fryer's latest in @WSJopinion is characteristically judicious and great: wsj.com/opinion/the-educatio…

Thanks to @SandraSmithFox and @johnrobertsFox for having me on @FoxNews’s @AmericaRpts to react to the Senate Judiciary hearing on Flock cameras. You can catch the replay here 👇🏽

Where have all the good blue-collar jobs gone? Alaska — where a quarter of non-college males with a blue-collar job earns six figures — seemed to me a promising place to look. After much research and reporting from the state, however, I regretfully conclude that it offers nothing in the way of a positive model for the country. Alaska's hefty blue-collar wages rest on its irreplicable natural resources and are amplified by the compensating differential required by its harsh working conditions. If anything, Alaska presents a distilled version of the national challenge we have connecting bottom-half men with economic opportunities.

The awesome @robkhenderson and the fabulous @EmilyYoffe captivated the crowd at the symposium yesterday! Day 2 of addressing the challenges of young men starts soon! 🤗
