Maybe not."<br /><br />While I agree that some of the hedge fund manager types probably fit in that mold, for every one high flying promiscuous rich guy, there are a hundred nasty promiscuous guys. I exaggerate, but still, there are just not that many hedge fund managers or professional athletes. <br /><br />Anyway, I actually know some of these people and they generally have a wife and a bunch of kids and are the highly disciplined type at home. Just an anecdote, but still, such types exist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-38208693783962932872009-09-04T12:12:26.304-07:002009-09-04T12:12:26.304-07:00We should not make the assumption that the shrinki...We should not make the assumption that the shrinking difference between number of children born to promiscuous and non promiscuous men reflects a change in the type of man having children. # of partners is not a static attribute. Say a given man born in 1920 had 2 partners and 2 children. A genetically identical man born in 1990 might have 20 partners and 2 children. Changes in culture, birth control availabiliy etc. could be changing how people form sexual relations amd their decisions about how many children to have. <br /><br />"I'm basing this on more of a hunch than any actual evidence, but it's my guess that the typical man with 20+ sex partners is not a BMW-driving hedge fund manager who wears $3,000 suits and scores with supermodels he meets in nightclub VIP rooms.

I've read that the prostitution "business" has fallen on very hard times now that Craigslist no longer accepts their advertisements. Most of them had dropped streetwalking and other methods of solicitation in favor of online advertising.<br /><br />PeterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-29716856217438343212009-09-03T17:05:14.022-07:002009-09-03T17:05:14.022-07:00I think iron makes a good point.
