In hunter gatherer times, when clan size was only 50 people, you’d be lucky to find just one hot girl in her prime. The beauty scarcity meant that there was no jealousy when the hot chick hooked up with the tribal leader. It was unremarkable. The remaining plain janes competed over the undifferentiated swath of clanmen who ranked lower than the tribal leader. This social dynamic helped keep women’s expectations in line with reality. There was little pressure to snag the top dog.<br /><br />Fast forward to modern society where most young women in their prime are living in giant urban enclaves of millions and hot chicks are a dime a dozen. What do they see? Lots of cute girls hooking up with alpha males. Every day, everywhere. So the average woman, who in times past would’ve been happy with the average man, now gets bombarded with visual evidence of thousands of women dating the same small pool of guys she wants, causing her expectations to balloon out of control. ..."<br /><br />[...]<br /><br />Settling « Roissy in DC <br />http://roissy.wordpress.com/2007/11/16/settling/<br /><br />LAKE WOBEGON INDEED!!!Lake Wobegonhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Wobegon_effectnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-13489732136859864182009-09-06T23:24:08.243-07:002009-09-06T23:24:08.243-07:00Well then think about it some more.Well then think about it some more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-89039506271106616802009-09-06T18:38:27.977-07:002009-09-06T18:38:27.977-07:00It's called nihilism, and if we don't do s...<i>It's called nihilism, and if we don't do something about it (etc, etc))</i><br /><br />"You keep using that word.

Isn't that stereotype, beloved of many men, a little worn and old, even if some women still wear it? <br />I don't know about "lonely old men," (I'm surprised how many people of both genders think men need company more than do women in old age; my father thought that)<br /> but most single,older women I know are not bitter, nor do they dwell on regrets. They are busy with second careers, hobbies, volunteering, appreciating nature and life in general more than when they were younger, etc. They do like to gripe on occasion, but that keeps one lively to at least act like you care about certain things. However, I wouldn't call them bitter, and cats are fun and affectionate. Why do men hate on cats so much? It's like those guys who were jealous of the wife's attention after the baby came.<br /><br />"Spinster" such an old-fashioned term that doesn't mean anything. Nobody is defined by "spinning wool" on a distaff anymore. Hmmm--what would be appropo today? Femininster journalister? <br />I really think men are more likely to be mired in the past, even though they are the main creators of the stuff that propel us all forward. Strange.<br />I am concerned, however, on the reproductive front though.<br />As far as "average"--most "average" women do reproduce. Average women, even with average appearance or worse, marry and/or make babies at a pretty good clip. However, the higher you go on the IQ scale, the fewer offspring women produce. This is indeed a fact. A shocking number of females with IQs over 130 are childless. I don't think this is true of men, but the stats on the non-reproductiveness of high IQ women is on record and scary. Since some say intelligence is passed on from the mother more than from the father, it's of special concern, though I don't know if that's really true.<br />It is even more the case among blacks, I've read. Probably less true among Asians. The more unusual high IQ is in a race or ethnicity, the more it seems to mitigate against reproduction. Steve Pinker said his genes would just have to go unreproduced. A lot of smart people seem indifferent to children that way. I think they just have too much on their minds, and think too much about the problems that will occur.

Junior might hear it and suffer a psychological meltdown! Speak in euphemisms. We're not saying you're "stupid," Junior, we are only saying you're developmentally challenged. Special. Thus the rationale behind the "hate speech" laws. Plain talk about race is feared: it will allegedly rile the natives. (And there are groups who have worked hard for decades to *ensure* that such talk will rile them.)<br /><br />America is becoming one big NAM nursery, full of baby talk.<br /><br />You generally get more of what you encourage. It may be true that left-halfers have a mental age of 12. But all the cooing hypocrisy of SWPLs and other females are infantilizing the burgeoning multitude.<br /><br />As for adult attitudes toward sex and religion, if the left-halfers can't cope with them, let them rack up Darwin Awards.
