In other words, to keep the human race thriving, women and men should have sex and have children.
Instead, it uses the wisdom of generations BEFORE us to make the choice FOR us. For a woman, it’s different. If she makes a wrong choice and falls pregnant from a man with bad genes, her offspring may not survive into adulthood.
Have you ever thought WHY men’s and women’s sexual strategies are so different?
- Why men want sex and women want love?
- Why there are NO books teaching women how to get one-night stands?
- Why women complain about men not loving them enough – but refusing to make love?
I feel for you if you’ve ever been frustrated with the opposite gender. I’ve been there, too. For nearly two decades of mylife I was completely cluelesson what was going on between women and men – with disastrous results.
I decided I ‘d had enough and I wanted to learn what the other gender was REALLY looking for and HOW one could master that. In short, I wanted to know what makes women and men tick.
This is what I learned and what every man and woman must know.
Our sexual strategies are deeply imprinted in our SUBCONSCIOUS.
We can not CHANGE what is there.
We can not CHOOSE whom we feel attracted to.
We just FEEL it.
Why?
Because, from Mother Nature’s point of view, the purpose of life is LIFE itself. It’s procreation. In other words, to keep the human race thriving, women and men should have sex and have children.
To make women and men have sex Mother Nature created a mechanism, which drives males and females towards one another. This mechanism is what we routinely call LOVE, or attraction.
Attraction is actually a cocktail of certain hormones generated in our bodies in the presence of someone who appears to be good genes – in other words, a person of the opposite gender who seems to have the capacity of producing a healthy offspring that will survive.
Those hormones make us feel excited and euphoric, and we feel an enormous urge to get in close contact with the person we are attracted to.
This is really what love is all about.
It’s just the means of making us have sex with each other and make babies.
All those poems about the wonders of love are written about the condition of a human being under the influence of a powerful mix of natural drugs.
And yes, it hits high!
Anyone who’s been in love can confirm that.
The thing you must understand is that this process is COMPLETELY UNCONTROLLABLE.
We can not CHOOSE who we fall in love with.
Because the purpose of procreation is so important that Mother Nature can not rely on our recently developed intellectual capacities to make the right choice, this is. Instead, it uses the wisdom of generations BEFORE us to make the choice FOR us. The mechanism of sexual attraction is firmly imprinted in our GENETIC MEMORY.
We are attracted to certain patterns of behavior and physical characteristics. When we come across those patterns in real life, we feel attraction to this person – and we can not help it.
With all advances in modern science and birth control, we still have the same biological hardware as our pre-historical ancestors. Scientists say that we have the same bodies as our forebears some 50,000 years ago.
It means that when you fall in love (or lust), you do it the same way as cavewomen and cavemen did. You simply FEEL it. You can not CONVINCE yourself to fall in love – you either feel it, or not.
Why women and men use such different sexual strategies?
Why men want sex and women want love?
Because women and men ARE different.
Not better or worse, but different.
A man can produce a child every time he has sex, and a woman can only produce a child only every second year or so.
For a man, there are no adverse consequences for having sex with as many women as he wants – the more children he produces, the higher his chance to procreate.
For a woman, it’s different. If she makes a wrong choice and falls pregnant from a man with bad genes, her offspring may not survive into adulthood.
This is why men’s and women’s sexual strategies are so different.
Men seek quantity; women seek quality.
Men seek abundance of sex, women – abundance of admirers.
This is absolutely NATURAL.
This is the reason why you are here today and alive – because your ancestors, women and men, acted true to their natural aspirations. Millions of dead ends of your species vanished into oblivion – and every single one of YOUR ancestors managed to find a sexual partner and produce an offspring that survived into adulthood. - If your female ancestors weren’t picky, you wouldn’t be here today.
- If your male ancestors weren’t trying to get laid at every opportunity, you might as well never be born.
STOPwining about the tricks of the opposite gender.
The battle of the sexes is the battle for the survival of HUMANITY.
We are made this way.
Accept it.
And learn to use it to your advantage!
