they were serious...
aparantly that is why it tends to get worse when you get older and you haven't had a kid yet...
but then...
i heard the function of attraction is that the pheremones give us info that the gene combo would be a goodie (that is why different people are attracted to different people)
and then...
i heard that teh function of romantic love is to motivate adultery 'i was so in love i couldn't help myself'.
hrm.
didja know that it makes sense that women invest more in childrearing than guys (cause you are damned sure the mother is investing in her biological offspring whereas guys never can be sure...)
also... it makes sense for guys to be intereseted in their wives being monogomous (to ensure the offspring is theirs) whereas the wives would be more interested in emotional monogomy 'cause they might take the resources elsewhere...
though there are a couple theories on that...
apparantly according to pop conception...
guys can have sex without love...
but don't tend to love without having sexwhereas women can have love without sex
but don't tend to have sex without love...so if a guy sleeps around... they might not love them.
if a girl sleeps around... they do love them.if a guy has an emotional relationship... they are probably sleeping with them too
whereas if a girl has an emotional relaitonsilhip they may well not be sleeping with them.but... guys theorising still ;-)
and financial considerations are supposed to be #1.
romantic love is supposed to motivate best genes adultery in the face of possible violence and loss of financial support...
but there are lotsa theories :-)
you know...
it is in a womans best interests to have a guy believe she is faithful (so he invests in offspring)
yet to sleep around for best genes.(because best genes might be worst husbands)
heh heh
this is coming from people studying female promiscuity in the insect / animal world... and in our evolutionary pasts.
