>This leaves (making up numbers) 80% of women wanting 20% of men. Where as men tend to be less discriminating in their choices of women.
Well... kind of. Except that men also tend to all be looking at the same pool of younger women, while women tend to look for men closer to their own age, according to OKCupid's data.
There is a big difference between what they see as "the best" and what they are looking at. If a 42 yo man sees a good looking 30 year old on a dating app he is quite unlikely to disregard her simply because she is not 20.
Complacent. Aight. I actually got /feistier/ when I started ADHD meds at 33, because I finally felt confident enough in my brain's function to start actually voicing my opinions to my peers. But go off, I guess.
This was actively damaging to me; I didn't get diagnosed (and subsequently receive help) until I was 33 because I'm ADHD-PI and was only familiar with stereotypical ADHD-PH, which is very much NOT me. I really hope there's more differentiation someday.
Yeah, pretty common AFAIK with the 'twice exceptional' (gifted and have other issues). The medical system is not as focused on helping people who are getting by well enough and there isn't anything obviously wrong with them.
Although purely annecdotal, I've seen a close personal friend with ADHD develop severe abuse issues with their prescribed medication. I don't have data on how high the risk is, but it does exist.

While addiction can occur in anybody, the data seems to support the opposite conclusion^1 in regards to ADHD people and addictions to prescribed stimulants. Though a simple search on the topic can yield you many other sources citing the same observations.
In fact, people with ADHD are far more prone to developing addictions if ADHD is not treated properly. In an elementary way of thinking, the ADHD brain craves dopamine. So, in a sad way, the options for many ADHD people are:
1. to acquire their dopamine through the care and monitoring of licensed and trained medical professionals => improving their life.
2. to acquire their dopamine through whatever means works for them, typically the ways of boosting dopamine are quite dangerous, unproductive, inefficient, etc.
The average person is either ignorant or refuses to admit that ADHD psychostimulant medications are by far one of the most well researched and well understood medications ever utilized in medicine. This might sound a bit alarming for those unaware, but it's actually hard to find a medication that has this large of an benefical effect with so few side-effects in the large majority of individuals who use them properly.
Speaking of dangers, almost no one ever mentions the dangers of a person with ADHD going untreated. If you want to learn more, I would recommend you read points 78 - 136^2.
I think you're misunderstanding what we're trying to do here. We're trying to get away from the insectiness, not charge towards it.... Otherwise it would obviously be beeftle.... Until the horse fly meat scandal.
This is not necessarily true. Oregon State's CS postbac only requires in-major classes. I did mine in three years, mostly part-time, including eleven months off for internships (so more like two). My first bachelor's was completely unrelated to tech.
