It's called gaming for a reason but I think sometimes there is this macho nerd-kicking impulse that kicks in anytime someone tries to actually throw down some hard numbers.
Sure, if you look like Urkel with flood pants no amount of sciencing the F out of the problem will help you, but at the same time, we are living in an era where we rely increasingly on computers. NASA made a big deal recently out of how it can now use machine-learning to sift through large data-sets to find exo-planets that was otherwise impractical, and Google's AI can go from zero to beating chess-masters in 4 hours.
The more I circle around the problem, which is the 80/20 rule and hypergamy, the more I can see how it's inevitable that some sort of deep-learning algorithm will be trained to crack this nut and it could help tilt leverage back into the hands of men who utilize it (until women get their version). I really see this as an arms race playing out in the cloud.
I guess this is just blind self-serving futurism on my part, but this kind of technology is moving at breakneck speeds.
