This is what I’m talking about in my other comment. “Women” are interested in “dating, relationships, sex” and “self-identified rationalists” are interested in “newcomb’s problem, and the possibility of strong AI”. Do you know what most men are doing tonight? Not hanging out here.
What part of my comment are you disagreeing with? You seem to think I was claiming “men like rationality topics” and “women like dating/relationship topics”. This is not at all what I was claiming.
I was stating that almost everyone, male and female, is interested in dating/relationship topics and there is only a tiny set of people interested in LW-style rationality topics. For whatever reason, this set is mostly male. I don’t know what your anecdote is supposed to demonstrate, except that there are some men who aren’t interested in LW and some women who are (which is totally compatible with my comment).

With the new information from your second comment, I read your original comment in a different way. We have no disagreements.
