Most women read this and say something like, "Well I'm not the average woman because..blah...blah...not true...blah blah...my boyfriend/lover/husband/masseuse was poor...blah...blah."
If you thought something like this you are very likely the average woman. If you read it and went "Hmmm..." and then you went back to doing physics, then you have a case.
That's friggin hilarious!
OK. It's not always true.

I'd have to partially agree... there are always exceptions, but over all, everyone has got their own opinion.
If you don't like me for who I am, it doesn't matter, because I do.

Actually, this is a very accurate theory. A good supportive book is Dave Berry's Guide to Guys which will have you rolling on the floor.
The only area he has not addressed is the area which describes those guys who are either wealthy, or bad, "on the right ladder" but have hit the multiple orgasm demanding partner. (See thread elsewhere in this section.) This situation will cause you (the man) to want to leap to the friends ladder. Because of course the underlying nature of men is to "not have to work hard"! And, having performance expectations of hitting multiples should only be applied in a game of sports in front of a crowd. i.e. home runs, touchdowns, interceptions and goals.
Basically, once you hit 45+, if is better to make the leap back to the friends ladder because it is a lot less work physically and we have a genetic predisposition to want to be a grandfather and watch TV.
This is of course before Viagra. Now men have a real conflict between ability, desire, and of course experience (I have had sex 5000 times during my life and I am now tired)! reality..... also do you wear boxers or jockeys or depends with a continuous erection.
Anyway, a great theory. Thank you for sharing it.

Damn straight it's true! Go to any college campus and watch the laboratory in progress.
It's all mind over matter. If I don't mind, it doesn't matter.



Actually as sophomoric and juvenile as this is actually written, the basic premises by it have been studied and are currently being hotly debated in the field of evolutionary psychology.Originally Posted by Lilith link=board=1;threadid=7407;start=msg84602#msg84602 date=1079381102
For those who enjoy reading I HIGHLY suggest you read the evolution of desire by David M. Buss. It goes through and analyzes male female wants and desires on an evolutionary level, and at a base level they are pretty similar to a lo f the theories being espoused here. At it's most basic level it is that guy wish to have several sexual partners due to natural selection, while women choose instead to choose fewer due to different resource needs. One example is that women don't mind slight acts of sexual promiscuity by their mates, as long as these are not deep emotional connections, where conversely men do not mind these emotional connections but it is the slight sexual proclivities that enrage us. This is due to our evolutionary pressures to see our offspring live on. Women know that any baby they have is theirs and are more concerned with security and resources in raising the child, where as men tend to be more inherently jealous because that is the best way to insure that the offspring you are providing for is yours.
This is not cut and dry and I am a little drunk writing this so I'll reserve the right to edit, but this book is REALLY interesting and worth a read IMO. Especially with what you do it might teach you a few strategies to increase your profits as well. I know tat I think that reading this book made me understand both men and women a little better.

aparently it is only going for 5 bucks on ebay, so I'd strongly recommend picking up a copy.

Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
In the pursuit of a mate, women prefer men who possess money, resources, power and high social status, while men tend to seek attractive, youthful women who will remain sexually faithful. This finding emerged from a global survey by Buss and colleagues of 10,047 persons in 37 cultures, from Australia to Zambia. Women and men are often at cross-purposes in mate selection, sexual relations and affairs. In a provocative study, Buss, a University of Michigan psychology professor, attributes these differences to ingrained psychological mechanisms which he argues are universal across cultures and rooted in each gender's adaptive responses over millennia of human evolution. One area, however, where Buss finds common ground between men and women is in their ruthless use of deception, sexual display and denigration of rivals in the pursuit of a partner.

Ummm...ok...I have several guy friends...who don't want a sexual relationship with me, nor I with them...why? Because, they are on a friendship list and they are GAY...what does that account for?
It was a fun read...but, not very accurate. Nothing ever will be because everyone is different. You cannot make everything square or round...it just will never work.

Glad someone has a sense of humor around here!




It's all genetic. Women seek men with the best genes. If that is the gene for success, health , strenght, longevity that is what they hope to pass on to their offspring. Men react to genetic signals displayed by women- big breasts, wide hips, symetry (health), youth, thin lips.
When it comes to love, everyone is looking out for themselves. It's only if you can match your goals to the others' that it becomes a good union.
As for friendship. Friendship should be based on common interests and beliefs. It has nothing to do with gender, race , religion, etc. I really don't think the Platonic model works.
I have male friends, one i can trust with my soul, he is NOT gay would probably like to sleep with me, but never asked or hinted, friends now maybe 4 years.
That is a friendship, AND he has dated women at the hospital i work and asked for advice from me.....RARE.
It can be done.

The site is a bunch of sweeping generalizations...but since 100% of my male friends have wanted to sleep with me....90% have tried...the 10% who did not try did it because they are fraidy cat bedwetters...and resented me for it..which killed the frienships....
The guys I've stayed friends with are the ones who admit straight out that they want to screw me, and they are available anytime....then we get over it and become friends....
Since having boyfriend of 1.9 years, I have less and less male friends...except for my internet boyfriends of course.....meow!
