Do you agree with…Mate guarding? ( Archived) (37)

The problem most people have is that they’re too insured to rely on their own mettle. It’s not just the having too much to lose that makes you not step in when you should it’s the associated inability to deal with losses. If you fail or are mistaken then you don’t suffer much for that error, the ability to take a hit without crying about it is what the system and insurance robs from us. The ability to live with a loss.

Mate Guarding is when someone tries to protect their Sweetie, or Lover from others that have a notion to get some of it...

Female
Female mate guarding is the act of guarding a potential partner away from other competing females. It occurs when women mate with males that are seen as desirable due to their paternal value (see mate value), and are therefore more likely to attract other females. Over 50% of females asked in a survey admitted to poaching (see Mate poaching) another woman’s’ mate, as well as 50% of men admitting that they were unfaithful when presented with a poaching female. It is therefore a balancing act between having close female friendships that can help with childcare, and the sharing of resources, but not letting friends become too close that they have easy access to poach successfully. Females have therefore come up with tactics to ward off any potential threats.

Avoidance
Female mate guarding concentrates on avoiding attractive, fertile females. Research suggests that females are more likely to avoid women that are attractive and exclude them from the group, as these women are interpreted as potential poachers.
Ovulating women are also seen as a threat. Research has shown that women subconsciously change their behaviour across their menstrual cycle, such as dressing more provocatively, which is noticed by men. In one study, men rated photos of ovulating (fertile) women as more attractive, compared to photos of women who were in the luteal (infertile) stage of the menstrual cycle. It is suggested that men are therefore more likely to pursue ovulating women, which become potential threats to their female mates.
Krems, Neel, Neuberg, Puts and Kenrick (2016) also found that women created larger social distance between themselves and a competing female, but only if she was ovulating and attractive. Similarly, this only occurred if the woman was partnered with a desirable mate. This is suggested to be because other females, especially those who are ovulating, are less likely to desire men that have limited resources.

I bet many...were thinking...women did not mate Guard

The greatest gift we can give we can bring to a relationship, is to stand guard over our partner's right to individuality.

You won't be able to do this...with many modern women and here is a list of things...they could do...if you want to mate guard a woman

Tactics
Research suggests that female animals exhibit resistance to mate guarding behaviours. There have also been a few studies focusing on mate guarding resistance in female humans. There are numerous tactics that have been recognised as female mate guarding resistance strategies. These include:
Covert Tactics - for example hiding things from your partner or flirting/speaking to other men when the initial partner isn’t present
Resistance to Public Displays of Affection - for example not letting your partner act affectionately towards you in front of others i.e. holding hands or cuddling
Reactions against Rival - for example defending rival males when their partner confronted them for expressing an interest in the female
High Tech Covert Tactics - for example changing passwords or deleting online or virtual conversations with rivals over text or email
Avoiding Partners Contact - for example ignoring calls or texts from your partner
Resisting Control - for example fighting about how controlling their partner is or wanting more independence in the relationship

Anything other than wanting only happiness and free will for your partner, modern or not, is a relationship of convenience devoid of any real love and substance.
Some people live their lives with so much duality, (us and them,) especially when it comes to relationships, they become the architects of their own downfalls.

Failure to introduce
One way to overcome this issue is to avoid introducing threatening friends to desirable mates.

and they accuse me of cut and paste

You contradict what you said in previous post JUst what have you been smoking

I see no contradiction, maybe you could point it out.

Ok simple question...Do you agree with mate guarding...yes or No

it was a long article

I believe entering a relationship should not demean either persons individuality, rather, enhance it.

That is worth guarding over.

Or to put it another way, fully allowing the others growth within and without of the relationship.

No need...to complicate thing...the poll asks...Do you agree with mate guarding...yes or No? It's not hard to answer...with just one word....Yes or NO

as you are an insecure dead duck person I am sure you believe in "guarding"a mate.
