*What must be remembered is that these fit healthy strong young men are extremely attractive to a large percentage of young women*

Hasbeen, you raise an important point in relation to this article,
for of course the author is claiming that genes and instinct matter.

Some of our potential social engineers of course think that culture
can change anything. Yet even some of those females, have a seemingly
fatal, instinctive attraction to the kind of males that you describe.

As was explained to me " a woman will make a list of things she
wants in a guy, then run off and follow her feelings". There is
some truth in that.

If we look at these athletic types, they would have made great
hunters and providers, 500 grandmothers back, when we still lived
in caves. In evolutionary terms, that is an eyeblink.

Forget Bill Gates etc, its the muscular football types that many
women will drop their knickers for, seemingly fairly easily.

Which kind of proves the authors point, that genes and instinct matter,
perhaps far more then some other OLO posters care
to admit.

Fractelle,
I read this thread last night late and the article in the link you gave and on going to bed I could not sleep for laughing. That is the funniest thing I have read since 'The Loaded Dog' by Henry Lawson.

I can't think of a better reason for the shape of the human penis but I never thought of the penis as a bucket pump. Apparently the penis in the virgina works similar to one of those plastic pumps used to extract air from freezer bags. The mind boggles!

I never ever thought that when having sex, I was, in fact, multi-tasking.

More useless information to fill my brain. Excellant stuff.

Let's face it... these sports people are boofheads, plain and simple. And the TV programs that support them are full of boofheads, the commentators on sports programs are boofheads, and of course the ex-boofs who run all these sports and clubs are boofheads too...then there are the people who slavishly support 'their team' without questioning what they are doing, or why.... and the investors who are laughing all the way to the bank.

I am tired of seeing these boofs assaulting each other on TV, and then going off to 'The Jew-dishery' for their quasi court appearances.

Absolute rubbish!

And the time devoted to entertainment, and the money that goes with it... really.... what a waste.

The author called them 'gladiators'... pathetic... entertainers maybe... dimwits perhaps.... we'd be better off, and some of our products would be cheaper, if we simply stopped funding them all and allowed 'entertainment' to fade from life and 'sport' to return as an activity for each of us, not as a capitalist trap for the weak and simple minded who know only how to sit and watch.

While there's a quid to be made for otherwise hard-to-employ knuckleheads and their backers, this sort of claptrap will continue.

Nice one!!

I thought the article hilarious too - I mean what does that mean?

That women prefer gang bangs? If you take the simplistic Yabby-evolutionary-biology-is-destiny POV from this, then what have we been pairing off for?

Honestly I couldn't think of anything more frightening than drunkenly bedding down with one footballer, to suddenly finding myself surrounded by a roomful of overly large, testosterone excessive, wonking males. Yet according to Basic Plumbing 101, that's how men have evolved to, er, well if you've read the article, you know.

Quite the conundrum, does this mean that pack rape is the norm rather than the aberration?

I think not. I prefer to make love. Sometimes I've just gone for the sex but only with man. Even the thought of two men at once is scary. And I suspect that most men would agree with me - except about two women at one time, which is not at all scary and quite the common male fantasy.

Oh dear, Gunky...
