Men are biology geared to constantly want to spread their seed, and they want as many partners as possible. More partners means greater chance their seed will be passed on. Women just want the best seed, so they are more selective of their mates. They don't want just anyone, but because men DO want anyone, women can exploit that biological difference. The reason this isn't a double standard is backed by simple biology.

I suppose I could just respond to this with something you said yourself:

No it doesn't, that's what brains are for.

It's true that there's a biological instinct, trying to tell us what to do. But thanks to the very same brain that allows us to "fly" and "defeat strength-wise superior predators", we also have the ability/option to defy the biological logic when it comes to picking partners.

For a quick example, it has happened me twice that I've turned down a woman for the sole reason that I felt no "mental/emotional" attraction for her. That's a choice which I, according to your biological logic, shouldn't be allowed to make as a man since my sole goal should be "spreading the seed".

The biological instincs give us a certain direction, but we DO have enough brains to pick and walk another direction if we wish to do so. I'm a man, and I'm a very selective one at that. I don't consider "spreading the seed" my main objective.



...all this seriousness feels too serious, so here's some tentacles: :tpg:

Mmmm, tentacles.
