This thread reminds me how in undergrad a buddy of mine handed in an econometrics paper about the relationship between national average penile length and FCI on the background of penetration-based gender/cultural stereotypes - dead earnest but absolutely pointless.
The explanation of why men slut shame women is found in religion and the theory of evolutionary psychology. Today, we simply don’t like the taste of OUR woman having a significant number of partners because of the residual ideas. We rationalize it by saying it must be a reflection of her character. However, men are celebrated, mostly, and their character is not questioned. Those men that aren’t able to have several partners at some point in their life claim it is because of some greater ideal. Of course it is. Dimes are showing up at your door with their mattress tied to their back and you are turning them away…Now if a women can stay as emotionally vacant as a man in order to be promiscuous, that is a different argument.
There are no ‘modern’ women, nor men in this case. We haven’t really changed since a couple of hundred thousand years ago.
The slow life, fast life stategy is more variable in humans, where you can find both extremes, and sometimes a balance between the two. Other species are usually exclusive in just one. Women tend to mess around with the good looking bad boys and settle with the rich nice guy when she can’t have fun anymore like she used to, that’s the perfect scenario for them, and what they subcounciosly seek. In evolutionary terms, that was also the best strategy for our survival.
Women who are dominantly fast life strategists tend to age faster than average, and have more sexual partners in their lifetime. They usually cash in their prime early on, but tend to be more depressed, and divorced later on in life. The slow life strategists on the other hand tend to delay gratification, and are ideal for long term relationships. This is why you should have fun with the former, and marry the latter. Just like they do. Strike the perfect balance and be smart about it. Or pick either of your preferred paths in life.
That’s why I never judge guys like Tiger Woods. It’s easy to remain faithful when the only woman willing to flirt with you is the fugly mom of 4 working at Walmart.
That is a one sided argument. For every Woods there are tons of guys with the same status batting in the same league who manage to keep it in their pants or at least have the courtesy to tell their partner it’s over before moving on. David Beckham to Bon Jovi, Hugh Jackman to Ibrahamovic.
Moving on, whatever happened to Bon Jovi though? Guy was a pure feel good bonafide rock star.
Take a look around, ain’t nothing is what it seems. Living in the broken home of hopes and dreams, let me be the first to shake a helping hand, anybody brave enough to take a stand? I’ve knocked on every door, on every dead end street, looking for forgiveness, what’s left to believe?
Ohhh If there’s one thing i’ll hang on to, that get’s me through the night. I ain’t gonna do what I don’t want to, just gonna live my life… _ Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice, i’ll stand on the ledge, show the wind how to fly and when the world get’s in my face, i’ll say HAVE A NICE DAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! _
Rock just had a natural swagger about it that will echo through eternity.
How do you know? Do you think Tom Brady is faithful? I have a hard time imagining him cheating, and I think Giselle is a hag. How about Toni Kroos? (Look up his gf). Really successful men who are competitive and focused usually grow out of the cheating. Reports of Ronaldo womanizing have really cut down once he’s started focusing on beating Messi, whom also I doubt cheats on his very nice looking wife.
I don’t know but that doesn’t mean he won’t at some point. I wouldn’t give powerful men with a checkered past the benefit of the doubt if I was a woman.
David Beckham is another story. If there was a way to know for sure with the press of a button, I would put all my assets on the line. It doubles if I’m right; I lose everything if I’m wrong. That’s how confident I am in his case.
