The Guardian (Australia) today published a couple of articles regarding the so-called Royal Commission on Antisemitism & Social Cohesion. One was a cut-and-paste job by a staff reporter, the other a Hasbara screed by a notorious Zionist genocide-denier. Comments were not open. They rarely are on matters of Israel. #australia #ausgov #antisemitism #zionistlobby #foreigninterference #israel https://www.reversecanarymission.org/person/michael-visontay

On second day of #PravConf we demonstrated voice and video calls using a local wifi network.
@athulvis @badrihippo and @untrusem did a great job of pulling it together with #prosody running on a 500MB ram raspberri pi hanging on the podium of the stage!
WiFi netwok was created on untrusem's phone. Athul logged in via Monocles Chat and one of the participants, Sreedev logged in with Conversations.
It was fun when usb cable was pulled out live from the raspberri pi server.

-------------------------------------------------TITLE: Self-perceived romantic desirability is strongly linked to overall self-esteem
URL: https://www.psypost.org/feeling-like-a-good-catch-is-strongly-linked-to-higher-overall-self-esteem/
People who consider themselves highly desirable romantic partners also tend to report higher overall self-worth. A recent meta-analysis of data from nearly 12,000 individuals confirmed a strong positive association between self-perceived mate value and global self-esteem. The research was published in the Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy.
Psychologists use the term “mate value” to describe how desirable a person is within the dating market. Historically, researchers tied this concept to evolutionary traits like physical health, financial resources, and social status. More recent approaches emphasize that mate value also depends on specific relationship contexts and personal preferences.
Self-perceived mate value refers to an individual’s own assessment of their romantic desirability compared to potential competitors. It acts as a form of internal bargaining power. This self-assessment guides people toward partners who match their own perceived level of desirability, helping them minimize the risk of romantic rejection.
Self-esteem represents a person’s broad emotional evaluation of their own worth. One prominent psychological framework, known as sociometer theory, suggests that self-esteem functions as an internal gauge of social acceptance. According to this model, people experience high self-esteem when they feel included and valued by others. They experience low self-esteem when they feel rejected.
Evaluating oneself as a good romantic prospect is a highly specific form of social inclusion. Theoretical models suggest that self-perceived mate value and self-esteem operate in a continuous feedback loop. Feeling like a desirable partner might elevate self-esteem, which then breeds the social confidence needed to attract potential mates.
Evolutionary psychology provides additional context for this relationship. From an evolutionary standpoint, human beings possess deep-seated motivations to survive and reproduce. Individuals who believe they possess highly prized mating traits often feel a sense of biological and social fitness, which bolsters their overall self-worth.
Relationships can also be viewed through the lens of social exchange theory. This framework assumes people seek to maximize rewards, like companionship and support, while minimizing emotional costs. People with high self-perceived mate value often feel they bring substantial resources to a relationship, so they expect an equitable exchange and are less likely to settle for imbalanced partnerships.
Early childhood experiences shape how adults navigate these romantic domains. Securely attached individuals generally develop stable self-esteem and hold positive, accurate views of their mate value. Those with anxious or avoidant attachment histories often struggle with fluctuating self-worth and may undervalue what they offer to a romantic partner.
Finally, self-verification theory suggests that people have a strong psychological drive to maintain consistency between their self-concept and the way others treat them. Individuals who view themselves as highly desirable will seek out partners who validate that belief. Conversely, those with low self-perceived mate value might gravitate toward relationships that confirm their negative self-evaluations.
To better understand the strength and consistency of the relationship between self-esteem and romantic desirability, a team of researchers conducted a comprehensive review of existing literature. The team included Sreedevi J. and Saurabh Maheshwari of the Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur, along with Jeshmeen Deb Barman of the Sikkim Manipal Institute of Technology. They wanted to see if the link between these two psychological concepts held true across different demographics and survey methods.
The investigators performed a meta-analysis, a statistical technique that combines the results of multiple independent studies to identify overarching trends. They searched academic databases for papers containing keywords related to self-esteem and mate selection. They also contacted the authors of previous studies to obtain unpublished correlation data.
The team ultimately gathered 23 research records containing 26 distinct datasets published through the end of 2025. This yielded a large sample of 11,837 participants. The vast majority of these participants were young adults living in Western countries.
The pooled data revealed a strong, positive mathematical correlation between self-perceived mate value and self-esteem. Individuals who rated themselves highly on traits related to romantic desirability consistently reported higher overall self-worth.
Next, the researchers tested whether other variables influenced the strength of this connection. They categorized the data by participant age and gender to see if demographic differences changed the statistical relationship. They also looked at whether the original studies used specific types of survey tools.
Some of the original studies measured mate value by asking participants to rate their own specific traits, such as physical attractiveness or wealth. Other studies used non-trait methods, simply asking participants how desirable they believed they were to the opposite sex. The researchers compared these different survey styles to see if the measurement method altered the results.
The results of these secondary analyses were not statistically significant. The type of survey used to measure self-esteem or mate value did not change the core relationship between the two variables. The researchers noted that both survey styles likely capture the same internalized beliefs about personal desirability.
Gender and age also failed to alter the connection. The link between romantic desirability and self-esteem remained consistent across the board. Men and women of various age groups all demonstrated a strong association between their perceived mate value and their global self-esteem.
This research relies entirely on correlational data. The mathematical association does not prove that feeling like a good catch directly boosts a person’s self-esteem. It is equally possible that possessing high baseline self-esteem makes people view their romantic prospects more optimistically.
The original study authors suggest that the relationship is likely bidirectional. Self-perceived mate value and self-esteem probably feed into one another over time. A positive self-evaluation in the dating market enhances overall confidence, which then makes a person feel even more desirable.
The underlying studies predominantly featured young adults from Western populations. This heavy reliance on specific demographics limits the ability to generalize the findings to older individuals or non-Western cultures. Cultural norms surrounding dating and self-worth can vary widely around the world.
The current data only addresses how people view their own desirability. Future investigations could incorporate external evaluations from peers or independent interviewers. Comparing a person’s internal self-assessment with how others actually perceive them might provide a more complete picture of how dating market dynamics relate to personal self-worth.
The study, “Association Between Self-Perceived Mate Value and Self-Esteem: A Meta-Analysis,” was authored by Sreedevi J., Jeshmeen Deb Barman, and Saurabh Maheshwari.

New governments of Kerala and Tamil Nadu have put state finances back in spotlight by tabling whitepapers on their fiscal health, or lack thereof. With states losing some fiscal autonomy to GST while their welfare spending rise, their ability to mobilise own revenue is now more important than ever. We analysed how major states fare in revenue mobilisation using data from the CAG.
