You guys are right on. When I was younger all my relationships overlapped. I always had some boyfriend. I guess I didn’t know how fun it was to be single. It was hard to get rid of the guy, until motivated by the new one. So don’t give up, just be around.

Alright, then explain Laz.

Nobody can explain Laz.

But, I can help:

It is not correct to ask "Who is Laz?", for Laz is more than a man. Laz is an idea. Laz is an ideal. Laz is what mankind aspires to, in the deepest and coldest nights. Laz is what makes humanity sing; what drives our achievements; what creates for us the drive to build and learn and become. Laz is what built the Colleseum. Laz is what built the Pyramids. Laz is what built the Taj Mahal, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

If there is an artist, in front of a canvas, seeking the muse -- that is Laz. If there is a soldier, struggling under fire, to save his platoon -- that is Laz. If there is a doctor who is valiantly applying all his skill to save his treasured patient -- that is Laz.

Laz exists in the soft wind that caresses the grain on a farmer's field. Laz is the dew, gently trembling on the leaf, as the butterfly quenches its thirst. Laz is the sun, pouring down on the beach and gently warming the lapping waves.

When you see an astronaut, proudly planting the flag on the moon, you see Laz. When you see a construction worker, soiled and greasy, on a tall skyscraper, risking life and limb to bring you a beautiful building, you see Laz. When a software developer gives his creative soul to a product that revolutionizes an entire industry, you see Laz. You see Laz in the strivings of Olympic athletes. You see Laz in the efforts of the policeman to save the lives of people trapped in fire. You see Laz in all noble endeavors. Laz is what ennobles us, Laz is that which embiggens us. Laz is a quality of good and grace and wonder and awe. Laz is clarity and reason and justice. Laz is joy and love and light.

You cannot ask, "Who is Laz?"

You must, instead, ask, what would mankind be WITHOUT Laz?"

Women are genetically wired to want the high-status “Alpha Male”. What defines a high-status male? He’s the one which lots of other women want, a man who women are willing to have sex with [...]

In Logic, that's called a tautology.

I'll reduce your statement to its bare bones so that this becomes more apparent:

Women want to have the men that women want to have.

Regards,

So if I had my eye on a girl I knew was out of my league, I would just work on one of her closer friends who was not out of my league and get her to like me, and BOOM, the girl I wanted would start liking me too.

No, that wouldn't work.

The high-status women have only disregard for the wants and preferences of low-status women.

For example: Just reverse the genders, and you'll see what I mean.

Regards,

Women are genetically wired to want the high-status “Alpha Male”.

There are some interesting facts that show that out.

80% of all women in history have reproduced.
66% of all men in history did not reproduce.
You have twice as many female heirs as male heirs.
80% of the women are chasing 20% of the men.

Low status males engage in high risk behavior because success tends to raise status. They also tend to be the ones sent off to get killed in wars(historically speaking, not so much with a voluntary military like the USA has).

Women, who routinely say that women should not be at odds with other women, will always be at odds with other women because they are competing for the same three things:

1. Men

2. Men's wallets

3. Men's [word deleted because it really didn't adhere to community standards in any measure]

Women want to communicate to other women that they are the most capable at doing the only thing that matters to them which is getting men.

Funny, yeah...a man who is attractive to one or more women is going to be interesting to yet even more women.

I can’t argue that at all! Neither can you! (-:

Interesting comments on wine! I’ve had Riesling from Heidelberg but it was very dry. I’ll be sure to look up the Mosel Riesling because I like sweeter wines.

My favorites are the French Sauternes and Barsacs.

No...that is NOT what this stupid study showed at all!

Did you bother to read the article?

I read it, last night,and the culmination was that even lesbians and bis gave the men high marks, because others had too. They did the same thing regarding "modern art" paintings and pictures of peoples' hands.

What the findings showed, is that these MILLENNIAL women all wanted to "fit in"/agree with others; what a bunch of stupid SHEEP!

“I wish that more women realized that dressing like hoes is unattractive.”

It’s true! Before I married I dressed poorly and since then I don’t go out in public unless I’m wearing a dress (unless I’m riding a horse or working on the ranch) and it is true that I get a lot more attention from men...even when I have some of my kids with me!

I read an article about this study yesterday in the N.Y. Post ( hard copy ) and on line, in the Daily Mail. I’m NOT going to go to the link and read this article; however, it appears that most posters to this thread have NOT bothered to read the article at all. LOL
