Women, and people in general, have had the same brains since the days when we literaly lived like animals - hunting, gathering and breeding in small clumps/clans. Female sexuality is very complex and it makes even less sense in today’s modern world.

Most human females are naturally attracted to males that are different from themselves and somewhat outside their own social norms. Males that take them out of their comfort zone. It is the way nature selects for diversity in female mating patterns. In males, this is accomplished by simply encouraging mating with more females. That is not possible in females because they can only genetically mate with one male at a time.

This is why you commonly see the “nice girls loving bad boys” and “opposites attract” thing. Females that had this inclination in prehistoric times increased the genetic diversity of their offspring and had a genetic line that was more likely to survive to today. It was also common for females to run off and secretly mate with “badboys” while having a nice, practical provider in their own clan for the future badboy offspring.

Females that mated with the “nice” guys among their own clan that were similar to themselves were most likely mating with a relative. A genetic line with little diversity was susceptible to disease and defects so fewer of those genes survived.

The survival of our species depended on many instincts and subconscious thoughts that seem completely out of place in today’s completely different world. The survival of a species also does always consider the happiness of individuals. Many animals suffer their entire lives because of their own instinctual drives that are necessary for the species as a whole...

Men are shallow if they don’t like fat women Women just don’t like short men

Men are shallow if they like hot sexy women Women are simply turned on by bad boys

Men are giggiloes if they marry rich Women are simply prudent if they look for good providers

tell me again about this double standard.

Double standard with women? This about sums it up.

The problem with this study is taht it is probably funding by tax payer dollars, when 20 minutes a night in any popular bar would do the same thing and at 1/10 the cost.

It might be a “new study” but it’s old news.

Guys who think women are the same creatures from week to week, or even moment to moment, haven’t been paying much attention.

Guys who care a whole heck of a lot what a woman thinks of them are in for a very unpleasant roller coaster ride.

around 400,000 DNA paternity tests are now done each year and consistently 30% of such tests show the man is not the father of a child that he thought was his

Solomon said there are some things that cannot be understood. Prov. 30:19

The way of an eagle in the sky,
The way of a serpent on a rock,
The way of a ship in the middle of the sea,
And the way of a man with a maid.

I wonder how scientists define sexy or handsome men in strictly material terms. IOW, what is beauty in terms of matter in motion?

My experience is that they will either assume the existence of beauty without consideration, they will dismiss the question with some hand-waving, or they will be unable to understand the question.

Oh, well. Gotta be able to live with yourself.

Regarding women: If you can live with yourself, you are likely to live BY yourself.

American Association of Blood Banks reports a paternity exclusion rate of 29.06% in their testing results, which is very close to Dr Corey's statistics.

Hi ladies!

I'm as bad as they get.
I've never held a real job, but I'll squander your family fortune.
I'm liberal as they come, which should really make your conservative family hate you.

Pucker-up, baby! purrrrrrrrrr! Let me lie to you about my bravery in Vietnam!

I think some women chose these men because of low self-esteem.

Baloney. Liberals love blaming every bad behaviour on biology. Women choose to have relationships with “bad boys” because they don’t like themselves very much, and were raised either without a close relationship with their fathers, or with an unhealthy relationship with their fathers.

I don’t know about that... I think my Wife made an excellent choice. She got her “bad boy” who has never let her down in the “Father to my children” department.

I once asked a woman why she was then in her third relationship with a physically abusive lout. Her answer: “Because they’re so exciting!” I rest my case.

That is EXACTLY why when my teenage daughters want to wear a Bikini I tell them just to put on thier Bras and panties and wear them around and out to the pool and I will gladly go get them Bikini’s to wear around the pool.

They look at me like a calf looking at a new gate.

but then they shake thier heads and know I am right.
