Women make a fascinating study from a biological/ evolutionary standpoint. They are manipulative, deceitful and use sex as a weapon/tool. Have a look at how women look at each other when their guard is down. Pure evils.

Also never forget. Women delight in coming up with the old stereotype that men will screw anything etc etc etc. Great. Never let them forget it, because it gives us the perfect cop out to screw anything and blame it on them. After all they are much better than we are. Of course it then begs the question of why a woman will go after another man's husband, which they do with great ease. After all, she knows exactly what it will do to the other woman, her children etc. so what price sisterhood, eh?

I can't help thinking you have been left scarred by somthing that has happened in your past - I think this principally because you're talking shite.
So your present/ex-bird was a bit of a nymph, and dabbled over the fence - that was because you're a crap shag - not coz it was preprogrammed into her genetics several millenia ago.

That's about as accurate as me guessing that you have three legs and four arms.

Guess again.

Basically I study what I can't understand, if the subject is worth it. Being a biologist by training, the study of intersex relations keeps popping up, and makes fascinating study. Marriage as a system is very artificial, and IMO places constraints on us that run contrary to how we have evolved to exploit the differences between the sexes

Notwithstanding I could well be talking through my arse - as society has evolved, and the chances of a "lifepartner" living longer than the next mammoth hunt have increased, has the need for a multitude of sperm "donors" not been replaced by the need for a provider of stabiliy and relative stutus? If what you are saying holds true, I as top 10% earner, should be desirable to a goodly proportion of the females in this world - yet though I hate to admit it - I can't remember the last time I was seduced by a social climbing lady??

Society is a comparatively recent blip on the screen cf to the length of time we spent evolving from plains ape to hominid. Look at lactose and gluten intolerance, as well as the problems of too much red meat in the diet. We evolved to have diets with no dairy, damn all gluten and only a little meat.

Likewise, our society is an even more recent arrival, so it is hardly surprising it causes us problems. The divorce rate is on its way to 50%, which indicates that marriage just isn't working that well.

As an adult we are unique amongst mammals in that we consume milk.

We are not evolved to do that, it's a product of society.

We evolved to eat a diet of shoots, leaves, stems, some roots, seeds and fruits. and a small amount of non red meat.

That's why we lard up so easily on a diet loaded with dairy fat, red meat and refined carbs.

Yes, but I refer to the same word. Your words finish in " ough ", then it is not the same word, like in the example of Lionda. I refer to the same word that depending the way to say the word or according to the context of the situation, it can mean a thing or another thing. For example, the word " bueno " or " buena " (both, is " good " in english). It is not the same thing to say " esta chica es muy buena " (this girl is very good) that to say " esta chica está muy buena ". The first sentence is that this girl is a pleasant, nice, good person; the second are something sexual
