Christine, I got a good laugh from your response. You do appreciate that men also, like you say women are, "..hard-wired to survive," isn't every living creature?
I'd be glad to send you a t-shirt... though to do the test properly we'd need more volunteers (and perhaps a few women also). The olfactory response is there, I've responded to it... and been cross channeled and reinforced by good cooking as well.
Not sure if I agree with this despite the loose backing of scientific theory... "That's why we (women) choose men who will protect us and provide for us well, which in modern times means money, but used to mean land ownership and physical prowess. Even though we may not rationally be planning to have children, the code for that behavior is in the primitive brains of women who survived."
A. Do women really choose men? That was the point of my previous question..
B. It seems as many women choose badly for protection as do those who choose well.. especially looking at divorce and abuse statistics.
C. By "code for that behavior" do you mean sexuality permeating modes of communication between men and women?
Last, "So if the situation arose where there was only man and unlimited women, we would probably act very rationally and cooperatively to propogate the species, and happily share the man, using his sperm for its highest purpose--building a strong population." ROFL
... of course, you did see the National Geographic special on finding burial mounds of the legendary 'amazon' women warriors and their cultural traditions at about the time of the Greeks.
