start threads like this on internet forums ? i don't know.

or they go after another guy they're attracted to.
are all hot guys going to refuse sex from hot girls because they already have one ?

If anyone wants to read more about this and evolutionary psychology in general, The Moral Animal by Robert Wright is a good place to start. Of course its controversial like most evolutionary psychology texts, so take it for what you will.

Anyways, with regard to sexual selection, the author classifies different species as "high parental investment" (HPI) or "low parental investment" (LPI). In a LPI species, females are essentially looking for the best quality sperm possible and that's pretty much all they want from the males. Since the males don't play a role in raising offspring, the females don't care about anything other than their genes. Basically the same considerations as shopping for frozen sperm. All the females presumably just take turns with the most attractive males they can find to mate with.

But the author believes that in HPI species like humans, natural selection has determined that in regards to successfully passing on genes, having a mate that can be counted on to provide safety and security for the offspring is often as important if not more than having one with high-quality genes (the hot ones). Obviously, a man who is sleeping with 20 other women is not as likely to be able to provide security as one with no other partners. The author believes this is how monogamy developed in human culture. For this reason, it seems logical that in an HPI species with a roughly equal gender ratio, most will be able to find mates regardless of relative attractiveness.

why didnt god just make all chicks hot? wouldn't that be better, evolutionary wise?

there is different prefences for different people so what one person might find incredably hot another might find ugly, and what about when they turn old, thats just sad. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

IMO, all chicks can't be equally hot unless they all look the same, and that would be incredibly bland.

Re: The Conundrum of Ugly and/or Fat Chicks
 

imagine there are 100 guys in existance. all of them extremely hot. you are a hot guy.

there are only 99 women in existance. a large percentage of them are hot too, the rest are average. except one.

98 women are paired with 98 hot guys.

this leaves one woman and two men.

you are one of the two hot men left.

this is the last woman available


what would you do ?

That picture made me smile. I'd like to see a followup to see what became of him and Chunk. I imagine they got an apartment somewhere in the city ala Perfect Strangers.
