The work I have done has rewarded me far more than the hard work I put into my marriage. If I knew then what I know now I would have concentrated more on my career and skipped the marriage fiasco. I would have been a lot happier and wealthier.

It ...<i>Let us be very clear why civilization exists. It exists because men wanted sex. </i><br /><br />This is where I quibble. Civilization exists not because men want sex but rather because we want to be fathers. It's a somewhat subtle distinction. Humans lived as hunter/gatherers in the Paleolithic for tens of thousands of years, wanting, and getting, sex on a regular basis.<br /><br />The problem was that they had no idea that sex led to children. It seems obvious now, but why would it be obvious to a bone-through-the-nose savage? Men and women get it on regularly, but women only have children occasionally, and there's no obviously direct link between the two events.<br /><br />Because women get pregnant, motherhood is naturally obvious. "Fatherhood" isn't even a matter of opinion though. It's just not part of the mental universe of early man. Once we figured it out though, men's incentives changed. Previously only women had children. Men had nephews and nieces, but so what? A part of women would live on after them, but men had no such pseudo-immortality to care about. Eat, drink, and be merry, for once you're dead, nothing else matters!<br /><br />Enter fatherhood. Now, men know that they sire children. But which children? How to tell? Easy, convince, or force, women to constrain their sexuality to one man per woman. Now he and she both know the paternity of all of her children, and he now has a reason to believe that part of him will live on after he dies. Immortality of a sort. Now there IS a reason to care what happens to the rest of the tribe after he dies, and now he's willing to give up his leisure (and hunter/gatherers have a LOT of leisure) to work to make the tribe more secure and wealthier. Build walls, fight for territory, build roads, dig ditches, etc. None of which was worthwhile when men just died. All of which are worthwhile to secure immortality.<br /><br />And all that work builds up to Civilization. Take away fatherhood (and the social institution that guarantees it, ie Traditional Marriage) and men will GTOW. Women won't be wives and help-meets anymore, they'll be sex toys. And so civilization will slide back into savagery.<br /><br />Enjoy the Decline!jabrwokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14537636497352864636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-25982056492229426172016-09-21T04:55:12.294-07:002016-09-21T04:55:12.294-07:00Awesome again.

The sex ratio discrepancy is far more than 15% because overweight women don't count. They don't belong anywhere near talks of 'sex' because they chose not to play. They chose to eat. They are out. They are not part of the statistics. Before someone says, "The guys are fat, too!" Well, for one, they're are not as fat as the women and secondly a fat guy pulling down 400k is still in the game to some extent.<br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-83213501059111752102016-09-21T04:26:21.223-07:002016-09-21T04:26:21.223-07:00Now that I think about it, I'd rather let go o...Now that I think about it, I'd rather let go of a few bucks in a poor animal like a dog than most humans.
