I'm a psych and crim. major and I get furious when I see misinformation typed out on the internet.
I'll rip this apart:
Like many mammalian species, human males are required to invest little in the production of offspring beyond the act of copulation, so their reproductive potential is maximized by mating with as many females as possible. The situation for females is quite different. Females have to invest nine months in pregnancy, and our female ancestors typically had to devote at least several additional years to nourishing offspring through breastfeeding. These realities place a ceiling on the number of offspring women can produce, regqardless of how many males they mate with. Hence, females have little or no incentive for mating with many males. Instead, females can optimize their reproductive potential by being selective in mating (which constitutes in today's society a man with wealth, status and health).
In a definitive review of the empirical evidence, Roy Baumeister and colleagues (2001a) conclude, "Across many different studies and measures, men have been shown to have more frequent and more intense sexual desires than women, as reflected in spontaneous thoughts about ***, frequency and variety of sexual fantasies, desired frequency of intercourse, desired number of partners, masturbation, liking for various sexual practices, willingness to forgo ***, and other measures. No contrary evidence was found" (p. 242).
IN OTHER WORDS, WOMEN DATE TO ENSURE THEIR MAN IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY PROVIDE A GOOD ENVIRONMENT FOR HER OFFSPRING.
Your dating analogy to females being prostitutes failed because you assumed they date only for ***, when in fact, it is to make sure their man is wealthy and has some sort of decency in society (which plays a role in status).
ALSO, according to psych. studies (based on actual evidence), men are
"slutier" than women.
now have a seat.
