| May 26, 2015 at 23:07 | comment | added | Christian | @DVK : This website doesn't have a rule for having to quote in every case. It's only required when notability is in doubt. Do you doubt that the claim is notable? (Apart from that there's no conflict between the sentence I quote and the rest of my question, it more that the sentence I quote is vague and very general) | |
| May 26, 2015 at 22:47 | comment | added | user5341 | @Christian - OK, I'm quite fine with that interpretation. All I'm saying is that your notable claim example mismatches with your wording of what the claim is. You need to match them up (either by finding another notable claim that matches your wording, OR by fixing your claim phrasing - whichever one you prefer. But from my expeience, most of the notable claim on the topic are more likley to be of the "pick up" variety, so the former may be far harder). | |
| May 26, 2015 at 22:39 | comment | added | Christian | @DVK : This is not about my interpretation of what MenHealth wants to advocate. That's not how this website works. I quote MenHealth as illustration of a claim that I believe to be out there. You might say that the example doesn't convince you that there are really people out there who believe "confident guys are less likely to be single than shy guys" and I need to bring other examples to convince you. | |

| May 26, 2015 at 22:25 | comment | added | user5341 | @Christian - yes, that's what I'm claiming ("strawman" to me implies malicious intent, so I'll rephrase taht as "you have not correctly worded your interpretation of the claim", which doesn't imply intent and merely making a mistake). Common English usage associates "picking up" women with instances of having sex, NOT steady romantic relationships. | |
| May 26, 2015 at 21:55 | comment | added | Christian | @DVK : In general this website does allow people who ask questions to define their questions. If you think I made up a strawman through my definition and as a result the claim I want to challenge lacks notability, please make that argument. In this case I don't see it. | |

| May 26, 2015 at 19:43 | comment | added | user5341 | @Christian - is that the definition used by MensHealth? (being a man's magazine, I am almost certain they are just as- if not more - likely to use the definition "have a sexual encounter". The title of the article - "pick up" - is kind of an easy give-away). Somewhat tangentially, any psych study (or survey) would likely suffer from what an economist would call a discrepancy between revealed preference vs. stated preference. | |
| May 26, 2015 at 19:33 | comment | added | Christian | @DVK : It's quite ironic. You complain that the question is to vague and at the same time provide an answer that doesn't even fit into the vague definition. Confidence is a word that has meaning to psychologists. I did provide a definition of getting the girl: "Not being single", "Regularly having sex with a girl" That's also relatively well defined. | |

| May 26, 2015 at 17:42 | comment | added | user5341 | VTC - there's no definition of either "confidence" or "getting the girl" to base actual scientific study (or even a less scientic poll) around. Plus what the last commenter said. If you can find a more precisely worded claim, it can be examined. | |
| May 26, 2015 at 17:20 | comment | added | Online User | You're also mixing between getting a girlfriend or having casual sex. Those are two different things. | |
| May 26, 2015 at 17:09 | comment | added | Christian | @georgechalhoub : The point of having evidence-based beliefs isn't to believe things because they are obvious. | |
| May 26, 2015 at 16:59 | comment | added | Online User | Wait, isn't that obvious already? | |
