    once you get married it gets easier, since you can hang out with other married couples. men who have passed the (honestly, minimal) filter of convincing someone else to spend the entire rest of their lives with them are somewhat less likely to be total shit.

      I'd counter that all of the most sexist, racist, homophobic etc men I know are married with kids.

        Feel like I'd have to put myself in a closet to date women again. And never touch on my eggish self again. So usually the women have good company when comes to homophobia, etc.

          i mean, straight cis women can be like that at least. i don't think i've seen a trans women force someone not to question their gender though

      Debatable, as evidenced by all the shitty divorced dudes out there. Crowder, Musk, Alex Jones, to name a few.

        Well clearly they didn't convince someone to spend the rest of their lives with them.

          still invalidates the heuristic unless you only intend to make friend with 90 year old couples

      Even if the guy is cool, their wives can still suck and be downright mean to your wife for no reason other than she doesn't play games with gender stereotypes.

      But usually you find out the guy isn't cool either, just didn't know him well enough.
