Don't make it so obvious....
It's hard enough to find someone already. Like - ok fine I get it, yes, being a lesbian (or bi) feels like the only way anyway, cuz like yeah, how can you not like girls. I find that somewhat hard to imagine.
but that turns into a bad thing, because all of a sudden you have all these super pretty girls in the dating space and they are all prettier, smarter and more comfy cozy than you!!! I feel this is especially the case when transfem (but what do i know)

Yes kinda. But I do feel that generally, people are more attracted to girls than to guys. And I don't like that.
As I kid, I thought it was interesting that while there were male and female voices available for voice assistants (like Siri), people would always pick the female ones
That is fair. i think people generally just prefer feminine voices. Other than in podcasts for some reason.
That definitely depends on the context. Women's voices are often characterized as too whiny, too emotional, too bossy, too [insert sexist insult.] The content of what we say doesn't matter. Some people just hear a woman's voice and automatically tune out. Sadly, when you live it, it's hard to avoid; I didn't hate my voice for so many years for no reason.
Considering that virtual assistants like Siri only exist to follow user's commands, it might be worth considering that people aren't preferring female voices because they like them more. It's possible that people feel more comfortable giving demands to a female voice than a male one.
Just some food for thought.
