Why is it that good men finsh last?? ( Archived) (179)

I never said ALL women. I said SOME women. Try reading more thouroughly next time.

I stand corrected you did say that....

Man has a natural predisposition to self-awareness and strength. In primitive times it was required for survival, and only the strong survived through the multitudes of challenges presented in those times. Strong genetic traits were required for this feat and the most likely candidates for amorous encounters were with these sort of men.
Women have senses finely attuned subconsciously in their olfactory equipment, so finely tuned that they can distinguish (subconsciously of course) varying innate qualities of men. For instance if her bloodline is predisposed to some disabling physical condition she can 'smell' the gene that corrects this. Evolution provided this resource to weed out its imperfections and maintain the viability of her creatures.
As there is typically only one lion per pride that has any mating potential mankind has followed this stream of development.
As our collective managed to assert dominance over the natural world, new possibilities opened themselves to persons with varying abilities. Those with less of the male animal in their blood could manage to eke out a foothold and share their pool as well. Of course only the very successful had any chance of doing so through fate, fortune and intellect.
Today we have a culture which allows for all to be equal, yet the basic predisposition of culling the gene pool is still inherent, women still seek out powerful, genes in order to propagate health and continuance.
Oddly enough this occurs when the women are at their most receptive for child-rearing, and this is when men get confused.
A strong, macho man impresses not only with his commanding pressence but his viability to promote further strength. Women have been the driving force behind civilization for as long as they have been here. They cultivated the home, the art of farming, and raised the children. The men gathered food and offered protection from danger.
In our day and age the dangers are greatly diminished yet evolution is not an overnight thing and this need has not yet filtered itself out completely. Women tend to find this for their propogation then weary of the constant risks and abandonment as the man seeks other potential wombs to spread his lineage. Not all strong men are like this but great dollops of them assuredly are. Once the woman has reason to find her own path she typically seeks a more controlled, secure man with whom to raise her children. Hence the good finish last. The natural oder of things as the good responsible man makes a better provider with less risk.
In a primitive society a warrior or successful hunter would have made a much more obvious choice for a woman than an artist or musician. Today we have a much more stable environment in which to compete for affection and in time the olfactory component will likely change or fall away.
Especially with the profusion of colognes and perfumes, deodorants, shampoos, body washes and detergents to mute our natural pheremones, choice is rapidly becoming intellectual rather than primal.

Probably because you didn't understand it....[/quote



You already made a fool of yourself once. Why do it again?

You already made a fool of yourself once. Why do it again?

Don't know why this thread got resurected but I have to tell you I think this MYTH ranks up there with Having a Happy Period.

Nice guys DO NOT finish last! If you think that is true maybe you better look in the mirror and ask yourself if you really are a nice guy or just like to think so. I'm sorry, but when someone keeps repeating nonsense like this people start to believe it, and that's just silly. Who in the world would go out looking for a mean guy to date?

I don't consider not noticing a couple words making a fool of myself and the rest of my post still stands besides the all women thing...now go play sonny.....

Oooo. K! Class....

Now I can see why the question was raised!

See ya!

Go play sonny? You're the one that keeps lowering yourself to my standards. At your age you should know better than to keep feeding the snake after it has bitten you.

As it is rather unlikely that he will have the decency or wit to apologize, I will take it upon myself to right this grievous error.

You are a fine woman of great intellect and passion. Nothing you said deserved his irresponsible reply so I ask your forgiveness for our gender if not the man himself. Men have done enough wrongs to women throughout history to allow this sort of behaviour to colour the evolved who have recently, due to the gift of opposable digits, managed to develop beyond the club.

I am sorry you had to endure yet another of the recently non-arboreal.
