IN GENERAL (for MOST straight people), I think his descriptors are very accurate. In fact, much of it is accurate for me, as well... just so happens that, per my previous reply to this thread, I also like to go to the strip club AND it turns me on!
really, you beleive that the primitive drive for men is to share thier DNA with as many as possible in order to save the species and that womens primitive drive is to find a good mate to care for her during gestation?
sorry, that to me sounds like a bunch of cave talk and a excuse for men to be roaming dicks while the women get to be roaming needy trolls hoping to carry the DNA from a neaderthal who can gather wood and catch wild hogs with a stick
No ma'am, I really don't think I do. See above... I said, "for the most part" I agreed w/Slice. You picked out two of the things that made me feel uncomfortable and ookey. That being said, one of my areas of study for my bachelors was Psychology while I was at university, and there certainly are schools of thought which ascribe to these beliefs. As you well know the human brain is incredibly, unimaginably complex, and I will often decline to say definitively that I think something is "wrong" until I've scientific proof that it's wrong. Likely, I will never get that scientific proof in my lifetime, so it becomes a bit of a moot point. This is one of those cases... I simply don't necessarily agree w/Slice on those two points.
The part of that (Slice's) sentence that I COULD relate to strongly is, "the primitive drive for women is to select a mate that is strong enough protect her from harm." While it is subconscious to a very large degree, I recognize that I do it. There is not a man walking the planet in khakis and a button-down shirt who is attractive to me. A man has to first be tougher than me, needs to know how to work for a living, know how to turn a wrench better than I do, be a better shot than me... My sisters and I have a set of Rules. The first five are unintentionally all the same and in the same order. LOL.
Anyhow, I am probably not a good person to offer intelligent comment on the two items you pointed out, as I am clearly not a man and I don't know if they have a primal need to spread their DNA (ahh, gentlemen, couldja help a gal out here??), and because sadly I am not a mother. Two strikes.
The part about different things turning women on than men... well, that's kind of funny because I just had to remind my most dear cousin who loves his wife more than he values his own life, that he needed to be more romantic, take her out on "date nights" without their little girl, and to build and maintain the passion in their relationship by doing little things for her throughout the week... bring her home flowers he picked, bring her home a beautiful rock or driftwood he found by the river that made him think of her, just little things like that. They live WAY out in the boonies, and those things would positively THRILL her. I acknowledge that I am not at all like most other women in that department, but I love and care enough about my cousin and his amazing wife to communicate that to him so that he can change his ways, which he will do.
