so men dont love their kids huh?
bull****. as a man i find that offensive. SOME men dont love their kids, so by exstrapolation, that must mean that all men are dogs and dont actually have any feelings. but when a WOMAN doesnt love her kids, then she is sick, its a "syndrome" and we must feel sorry for her.
all men only do things that benefit themselves
again, if find that offensive. i have given up and will continue to give up and personal benefit that is required of me for the benefit of my family.
what stared as a thread parodising those "real woman have curves" thing has turned in to feminist propoganda.
thats not to say that i agree with the other guy either. "men actually ARE required to stick around. It's called MARRIAGE. It something that a successful, civilized society pushes for. Marriage benefits the woman by making a contractual bind so the man can't just decide one day he wants out and leave her responsible for a child. Which happens when people make babies out of wedlock"
so what your saying is that after marriage men dont run out on their families? but if they arent married they are free to do whatever (or whoever) they please?
seriously, you a both as deluded as each other.
im am now out of this thread.0 -

I don't think marriage is solely of benefit to women. Men have ruled the world since the beginning of time and they're the ones that invented marriage - and we all know that men don't do anything that doesn't have a direct benefit to themselves. Boiled down to basics, it's a way for him to claim ownership of a woman and have the best possible odds that the offspring she bears will have his DNA. Add to that the fact that a wife serves his needs as a cook, maid, nanny and recreational sex partner...and marriage is a pretty good deal for men. There's a reason that widowed and divorced men re-marry more often and more quickly than widowed or divorced women do. Married men also live longer and report greater health and happiness than single men, which does not hold true for women.
As for women choosing partners that provide wealth and social status, that's as old as time and I don't see how anyone can refute that we're hardwired that way. We can override it with logic and emotion, but at the core the instinct to mate with a male who can provide the best possible situation for our offspring (even if we never have any) is always there.

No, no, no... I'm not saying that men don't love their kids.
Oh my.
There is a very specific [pseudo-]science that deals with evolutionary psychology and biology (although the biology part is usually better done that the psychology). To say that something is 'hardwired' is very specifically defined in those fields.
I didn't speak to the non-biological aspects of it at all. There are TONS of those, and I agree that they very often (most often?) override any theoretical biological hardwiring we have goin' on as a species.
We do have tons of perception-related ones (like vision, I mean) that are my favorites, just as a side note. Those really are hardwired and evolutionary, and it's awesome!

How can you say women are hardwired to look for stability yet men are selfish for looking for a nurturing, caring, affectionate mate?! What a double standard. Ps- men didn't CREATE marriage, nor do they force a woman to enter into the union against their will. It's a 2 way street in which both people should give in the ways they best know how, and receive the fruits of the others labor. Women are naturally more nurturing and motherly than men so obviously, traditionally we would "take care" of our man, and of course he should take care of us in return, whether it's financially, emotionally, sexually , or whatever it is he is contributing to the partnership. YEEESH!0 -

As a masculinist, I am troubled by the inequality of the movement toward the acceptance of body shapes for women and the absence of same for men.
The Dove Real Beauty campaign, showcasing the beauty of women of varying body types in order to sell soap, made me feel as a man quite marginalized.
I have created this thread so that we men, too can be proud of our bodies no matter what sort of shape they are! Be they triangle, square, rectangle, or pumpkin, we should be PROUD of ourselves! And that's real beauty!
Men in underwear is sexy
Also my husband looks like the first statue and I am always letting him know how much I LOVE his body :happy: 0 -
I'm fan of skinny guys. You don't need muscles, just prominent bones to hang with me.
So vote posting more thin dudes!0 -
Oh jesus, this went downhill fast. I move that this thread should henceforth consist solely of pictures of:
-Chubby men
-Fit men
-Hairy men
-Funny men
-Men in underwear
-Jeff Goldblum0 -

The reason you're seeing the above as a rebuttal is that it's far more polite than saying that you're out of your bleeding mind.0 -
:blushing:

I really do agree with you, awesome words. While we are still individuals and have our own choices to make in this life, by evolution we are hardwired to want/react/crave/whatever certain things.
Darn body sometimes it just doesnt work with me..
Edit to add some great reading amongst these lovely men!0 -
