This is really her main message.

That women learn what men actually like to look at, and offer that.

A radical departure from the "I dress for myself" meme that has ruled the West for decades.

Here’s another piece of generally useful advice from the article:

“Whenever some men care about a trait others are indifferent to, the most valuable trait isn't the one that matches the median taste. It's the one that satisfies those who care.”

Taleb (disgraced as he has become in the Bitcoin community) pointed this out with respect to kosher foods. All Coke products are kosher, not because the average consumer cares, but because a few care a whole lot and everyone else is indifferent.

I think this also explains some of the prevalence of woke elements of modern cinema. Lots of people are indifferent (live and let live) but a few care a whole lot. It also happens that the few that care are over-represented in the arts.

The general lesson is that you can’t draw conclusions about median taste from the traits of goods on offer alone. Coke is kosher everywhere, but it would be a mistake to conclude that the median Coke drinker keeps kosher.

Yes, that's true.

I've experienced this with some things:

being a Christian,

being intelligent,

having blue eyes.

The men who want those things are adamant about them and everyone else doesn't really mind.

I always thought having a voluptuous figure was another one, but she claims it is the median taste. That surprised me. I'm still not sure if she's right, but my life makes more sense if she's right, so I'm willing to entertain the idea.

It's very difficult to figure out what men find attractive because men are always hedging their bets when you ask their opinion directly. So, her method of judging by what men do, rather than what they say, seems sound.

I can't find a single man willing to admit to liking anything over a C-cup, for instance, but this always seemed odd to me, as that's a below-average cup size. Are most breasts unappealing to most men? Doubt.

She's just like:

Ignore them. They're lying.
