Peter: And my point is that those cultural stereotypes exist for a reason. Intellectually stimulating women are rare. And even if they are intellectually stimulating, they’re still dangerous.
An attractive woman breaks up the harmony and equilibrium that exists in an all-male group. The men start competing over her, making cheap jokes instead of thoughtful points, just like Lewis said. You think people have changed?
A chick joining an group of all-male friends is a disaster. Step 1: she picks the alpha and starts banging him. If the relationship is stable and no other guys rise in status, then things can work for a while. And by “work”, I mean the alpha is hamstrung by having to watch what he says around her. The harmony of the group is disrupted. No other man in the group can poke fun of her or challenge her views like he would a man, because that endangers the status of the alpha. Tensions rise.
It’s even worse when one of the other guys rises in status, and the chick starts coming onto the new alpha. Then, unless you have a group of men with a truly strong sense of honour, a friendship is broken up, and the whole group falls apart.
I have seen this happen so many times
then, in the middle of the drama the girls talks the guy to get him off the group
then she dumps him and joins another male group
