"c"/o a male cultural anthropologist
A: ...That's why men can't help how they are, not that they can't exercise self-discipline.
me: There's that.
A: It's just that by nature we, as males, are driven to spread our seed - to propagate the species - so must have many mates. Women, on the other hand, are after finding the strongest hunter/provider to reproduce with who then will also be able to protect her and their young.
me: Except, of course, that that's faulty logic because under that supposition each woman should also be looking for multiple mates so she could essentially develop a team of protectors. In theory, the female could also require all her mates to protect all her offspring equally well, using the safety of each male's offspring as leverage against the male, should he fail or attempt to decline.
A: That's an interesting point. [He looks away, moving his nearest shoulder away a good inch.]
me: Maybe that's just me.
A: Can I get you another drink?
me: [It won't help.]
