Selection goes in many

In reply to Do Women Desire Peaceful Gentle Partners

Women and Men look for strong partners who won't fall apart when things get tough. How much aggression that involves is not essentially about a predisposition influencing the process of attraction. Violence is not selected for its own sake so much as it is a component corrupting transactions.
Men and Women interested in finding submissive partners are not interested in becoming more capable as result of the union.
Selection goes in many directions. A man or a woman can be Madame Bovary, angling to satisfy what they don't feel. Some view it strictly as a market within a limited range of options. Some are looking to have somebody else resume the parent work that kept their stuff together up this point. Some just party before some inevitable end. Etcetera.

The initial choice to have a partner always leads to another entirely different set of choices that greatly influence whether one survives. No matter how bound we are by obligations, each looks for confirmation that proves the work is underway.

And the confirmation must be truly given, not traded for, because that is the selection part.

Thanks Oxy Mora. Your kind

We've been handing out the recipe for years ...

Two thick slices each of wage equality and employment advancement, a slice of stronger sexual assault legislation, topped with gender-specific health care and freedom of choice on a bun of respect. Season liberally.

Ramona... I loved this one from 2008...

From the "what-some-women-have-been-saying-for-years dept" at Slashdot.org :

"British scientists have discovered a way to turn female bone marrow into sperm, allowing women to reproduce without the need of male companionship.'' --snip-- ''I'd like to take a moment to welcome our new amazonian overlords and remind them that men are still very good at mowing lawns and fixing cars."

Hal... You 're right about this...

''whole industries have developed in response to what makes the other half tick."

Yeah... And we end up with crappy commercials that pander to the base instincts like this.

Hal, I appreciate many of your posts but this one just pushed my buttons, and not in a good way. It might be interesting to try and understand what motivates human beings to do anything but in the end it's pretty futile. For every hundred questions you'll get a hundred different answers. Ask them again the next day or after something has happened and you'll get different answers. Ask the questions with different emphasis and you'll get, again, different answers. Ask them in a different setting, with different music playing. . .different answers.

I don't see how it can be important when there are no real answers, only someone's frothy ideas based not on facts but on perceived emotions. It seems to me the only ones who benefit are the ones doing the supposed research. They can publish articles, sell books, land a slot on Dr. Phil. What they can't do is change anything. Nobody knows why women or men choose the mates they choose, but that won't stop the people who think they have the answers. They don't. They never will. All I can do is laugh at their silly efforts. Sorry.

I'll push back Ramona. I do think it's interesting and important to try to understand what motivates people to choose or accept certain partners. We examine the behavior of various species, why not our own? Indeed, whole industries have developed in response to what makes the other half tick. Politically, the optimal level of progressivity in the income tax code may hinge on the extent that powerful affluent men are attractive to women.
