His family has a little money. I figure that if one night he showed up at his favorite bar with some cute women and dropped a few hundred dollars on them in front of the regulars, he could lie happily to his cronies about what happened later that night for years, and he'd consider it money well spent.Steve Sailerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11920109042402850214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-4297739856430549902008-10-20T09:34:00.000-07:002008-10-20T09:34:00.000-07:00whereas the optimum scenario for men's is squirtin...whereas the optimum scenario for men's is squirting in every woman in the world and running away, women have more of an incentive to behave in a way that keeps society together.<BR/><BR/>=============================<BR/><BR/>ROFL.

It's like cheering Economic Growth for itself rather than what it can do for us. Evolution may decide the winners in a demographics-is-destiny sense, but taking orders from evolution strikes me as a perfectly idiotic way to achieve the much sought after "good life."<BR/><BR/>I don't mean to say we should igore evolution. I mean we should fit its findings to our purposes, not ourselves to its. The backwoods bumpkin with nine kids may "win," but surely the cultivated man with but two would be the better example to emulate. Some groups, I suppose, do play the firstest with the mostest reproductive contest and that, imo, should be sufficient grounds to exclude them from a society. For those of who do believe in government (and I certainly do, despite whatever "conservative" impression I may have given), I'm hard pressed to think of a more important role for government than to assume control of reproduction levels. (The need is urgent in Europe.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-65578947893809131502008-10-19T09:06:00.000-07:002008-10-19T09:06:00.000-07:00Actually, as Sailer has pointed out, conservative ...Actually, as Sailer has pointed out, conservative white men have more kids and hence are evolutionarily more successful. The Roissy types who run around boinking tend to use contraception to avoid getting hit with child support families. Really, the most successful from the evolutionary point of view are those big families out in the boonies with nine kids.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-58969574332606221992008-10-19T03:00:00.000-07:002008-10-19T03:00:00.000-07:00Also note that since the optimum scenario for wome...<I> Also note that since the optimum scenario for women's genes is raising a large brood to maturity, whereas the optimum scenario for men's is squirting in every woman in the world and running away, women have more of an incentive to behave in a way that keeps society together.</I><BR/><BR/>I'm not convinced that's optimal for males. It seems to me a high number of hbd-ers have jumped aboard the hbd bandwagon simply in order to be able to take swipes at society from the cutting edge of sociology: you, conservative white man, you're deluding yourself thinking you have it made with your four bedrooom home and two kids and church on Sunday; face it, man, you're trapped; your genes are screaming to impregnate the whole block but you won't admit it to yourself; conservative prick, phony; pass me the bong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-61771650637218242502008-10-19T02:32:00.000-07:002008-10-19T02:32:00.000-07:00That story was a little anti-climactic - quite fra...That story was a little anti-climactic - quite frankly, getting free drinks strikes me as rather innocuous.

But they're just as *selfish* as men. Also note that since the optimum scenario for women's genes is raising a large brood to maturity, whereas the optimum scenario for men's is squirting in every woman in the world and running away, women have more of an incentive to behave in a way that keeps society together.<BR/><BR/>Besides, you shouldn't make a group judgment about a class of people based on one example. That's like those liberals who say gender differences in math ability don't exist because their father's mother's uncle's nephew's former roommate is a female mathematician. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-65620171221251109662008-10-18T08:26:00.000-07:002008-10-18T08:26:00.000-07:00Everyone's selfish, and there are extremes of self...Everyone's selfish, and there are extremes of selfishness in both genders.
