When men are growing up, they are learning every day. What get men sex,or attention from females, is not what you would always approve of. And is every bit as powerful an influence on our behaviour as men's peer pressure.
If women stopped paying attention to mens idiotic mating displays, they would cease many of your pet peaves. The fact is, women too are responsible for MUCH of mens actions.
You know as well as I that many relationships start with boorish behaviour. Bosses hitting on women in the office etc. AND IT PAYS.
As I told in another thread, a friend was exploring the issues, so, as an experiment, he kicked the shin of girls at a nightclub. Not hard, but, it got their attention. And to my astonishment, several girls responded to it with interest. SEXUAL INTEREST.
I also did an experiment. I walked up to the prettiest girl in a club, and took her hand with the drink in it, and downed the drink, while she was within the safety circle so many women form, with friends. And intimated that she should buy me a drink as well. She did.
Is this boorish enough behaviour? Certainly. Did it get the response you would hope for, to quell MAN's baser instincts? NOPE. What I assume, is she thought only an ALPHA MALE would have the guts to do something like this. What lesson would this have on males looking on at my antics?
Men with surplus resources have always had an advantage, as women INSTINCTUALLY feather their nests years ahead of actually giving childbirth. this too is evolution. And not easily ignored.
