A study featured on yahoo and webmd showed that women were very good at picking up cues from a mans face to see if he’d be a good father or a good fling. Turns out, the female nature is to seek out one type of guy to build a nest with, and another to pass genes to her offspring with, and ends up having sex with both at different times of her cycle.
Like many mnogomous species, namely birds, males want to do it whenver, whereas females are more picky and want a mate to help her raise her offspring – but often have flings with high testosterone males with strong masculine features. The result is the mate male, in birds often an older male with less testosterone, raises offspring of a male with stronger genes. Indeed, at least 10% of men are unwittingly raising somebody elses kid!
With humans, studies show that women find family guys attractive 90% of the time, but prefer a hunky hottie during ovulation. Ovulation is when women are most likely to cheat. Plus, many women choose the guys who make good for flings when they’re young and not looking to settle down, but choose men with softer features when they want to build a family. However, I’d be willing to bet their biology doesn’t stop sending the dual signal just because society says its time to grow up.
Of course, we are in a time when women can control whether sex leads to pregnancy, and sex has become about fulfillment as much as procreation. So what if society was built around at least some men getting many partners, other men getting steady sex, and women getting both the mates and flings with no regrets?
Its science fiction, but imagine that disease prevention, birth control, and paternity testing eliminated the need for enforced monogamy. Women could commit to a guy for the long term, but still fulfill her desires when nature calls. Naturally, there would be a group of guys who got a lot of different women, and another group that got a steady stream of sex with one.
If you can put yourself in such a world, is it paradise or hell? Who is it best to be? Who is it worst to be? And what role would you most likely play, and why?
