Call it trolling if you want, but what I state is the truth for the majority of women. Because you state it, that makes it the truth for the majority of women, eh? You've met them all? Perhaps it's a large percentage of the women YOU HAVE MET which doesn't say much for the kind of places you meet them or the kind of people you hang out with. No dear. It's a known cultural fact I take it you don't have any actual evidence, then. ;-) Sarah Out of all people, I would you would have enough sense to agree. However, for the socially inept: http://www.somethingyoushouldknow.ne...ipt12_5_03.htm http://www-personal.umich.edu/~kruger/dads-cads.html "The sexual psychology of women also indicates that human sexuality has been shaped by long-term sexual relationships. A number of studies both in the United States and cross-culturally have shown that women regularly report being attracted to men who are socially respected, financially well-off, ambitious, industrious, dependable, emotionally stable, and romantic, all qualities that indicate the ability and willingness to sustain longterm, parentally investing relationships with women (Buss 1994:32-34)."

"A number of studies both in the United States and cross-culturally have shown that women regularly report being attracted to men who are socially respected, financially well-off, ambitious, industrious, dependable, emotionally stable, and romantic, all qualities that indicate the ability and willingness to sustain longterm, parentally investing relationships with women." agsf, everyone knows this stuff. Post the other section of the study... the one that is relevant to the argument, please. The part about the TRUE motivation for finding a "socially respected, financially well-off, ambitious, industrious, dependable, emotionally stable, and romantic" partner. The Oprah and mall-hopping part. And aren't you sharp... to see right through that 'women want longterm, parentally investing relationships' smokescreen the coven cooked up. Unfortunately, you are a threat to our way of life, and I ain't giving up my daily shopping spree. I'm reporting you to our high witch, and you will be dealt with. Expect a call from Oprah. Regards |

Fascinating .... http://www.somethingyoushouldknow.ne...ipt12_5_03.htm Well, this doesn't strike me as "evidence" of anything except an ability to get people to listen to sound bites. But they're really interesting sound bites! It's hard to tell whether they have any factual or scientific basis, though, from such limited information and context. http://www-personal.umich.edu/~kruger/dads-cads.html "The sexual psychology of women also indicates that human sexuality has been shaped by long-term sexual relationships. A number of studies both in the United States and cross-culturally have shown that women regularly report being attracted to men who are socially respected, financially well-off, ambitious, industrious, dependable, emotionally stable, and romantic, all qualities that indicate the ability and willingness to sustain longterm, parentally investing relationships with women (Buss 1994:32-34)." I'm not sure how you jump from this study to thinking that women want to stay home while the menfolk work. The abstract is kind of like a Rorshach blot. What you interpret from it reflects on your own assumptions and stereotypes than on any universal truths. I'm trying to think of *any* women I've known who want or expect to be fully supported by their husbands. Nope, none come to mind.
