But, was this video shot in wide-screen? The right-side edge was cut off for me… did I miss some cool graphics or anything?

As I said, I think it derives from alpha male type stuff. From reproductive strategies where males fight to the death over females, and the winner then kills the offspring that are not his so the females devote resources to his offspring. Like in lions.

So which is the â??betterâ? choice for a woman, a guy who would never kill any child, even children who are not his, or the guy who would kill any child that is not his? Children by the first guy would be vulnerable to being killed by the second guy. Children by the second guy would not be vulnerable to being killed by the first guy.

It is a Sophie’s choice, but those are the kinds of choices that our ancestors had to face. The most successful ones, the ones we are mostly descended from, made the â??betterâ? choice and sometimes (often?) chose the jerk and then rationalized her logical Sophie’s-type choice with illogical feeling-type rationalizations, â??I love himâ?, â??he makes me feel xyzâ?, â??the other guy doesn’t feel rightâ?, â??the other guy is a loserâ?.

I think this is how groups such as the Yanomamo could develop.

I am not faulting women for their choices (so much) (and is is only a fraction of women), but for their rationalizations of their choices and externalization of their choice by magnifying their perception of the â??faultsâ? of the non-jerk and minimizing the â??jerkinessâ? of the jerk to the point where the key aspect of being a jerk (not respecting her and treating her as a person) isn’t even in the picture. Where the feelings of being attracted to someone get confabulated into perceiving that person to be a non-jerk no matter how badly he treats her.

Now, you’ll have to excuse me, I’m going to go feel up my non-jerk husband.

In the relevant HG societies, i.e., tropical or subtropical, mainly African, etc. (i.e., supposed to represent our EEA), women prefer men who are nice, and other men do as well. Everybody has to be nice.

In recent years, less than well informed evolutionary psychologists have wrapped into the “HG” label numerous groups that simply should not be there, such as the Yanomamo.

You know that ‘War on Terror,’ or how about on Malaria? I have a magazine from 1960 that sets the goal of malaria eradication by the year 1980.

Is this a war on poverty? little bit skeptic: I’ve seen women hauling shit on their heads that don’t fit in the bed of my pick up truck, with a man behind her hearding a chicken. ideals, as unreasonable as they are, happen…are these counted in the statistics shown to us?

anyway it’s a great thought. go team.

1) please support your self-diagnosis of “not a jerk.”
2) assuming you can provide a substantive answer to 1, is it really not even worth considering that there might be some other salient trait you possess that a majority of women find unattractive, unrelated to whatever it is you claim makes you “not a jerk?”
