OK I feel like inviting some slut shaming here.
I always took advantage of my femaleness and let guys buy me drinks. Sometimes I would buy them the drinks. Then you can have playful arguments about who pays. Hell, I had lots of booty call relationships too. The guy knew what he was and I made no bones about it. As long as you are up front and honest about it, nobody gets exploited. But I guess all these people want women to feel ashamed for going to bars and ashamed for liking sex. You know, if there wasn't so much rampant slut-shaming, I bet there would be a lot more women willing to go to bars and have no-strings sex. The slut-shaming ultimately bites men in the ass too. Maybe that's why they need to use cheap drinks to lure women to the bar in the first place. Because the women don't want to be seen as sluts looking for empty sex. What is wrong with empty pointless sex?

monogamy is a farce!
monogamy is a farce!
EDIT: I just found a paper (posted here)estimating the rate of human EPC to be between <1%-30% with a median of 3.7%. In other words, 1 in 25 fathers reading this are raising children that are the product of their partners infidelity...
In a previous post (link) the bold claim was made that there is no biological predisposition towards human monogamy, but instead what drives us toward monogamy-like mating system is culture. There seem to be several independent lines of evidence that supports my position.
Anecdotal evidence. How many of us:Have never had a friend who cheated?Cheated ourselves?Know somebody who was actually cuckolded?

polygamy is very common in society. It's called dating
The fact that should be shining like a red bulb in the night, is that polygamy is very common in society. It's called dating and crumbles to pieces when a couple in the dating sect decide to get more serious and cement a minimal deal, also known as "going together." There's a plethora of benefits with monogamy and it will certainly remain a dominate element is the relationship game. The knowledge of who's and how many ding-dongs are going in who's and how many hoo-hahs isn't anyone's business except the owners of the aforementioned ding-hahs, as long as all parties are consenting.

Law, divorce and polygamous arrangements
allowing informal polygamous arrangements, imagine the difficulties that would arise in Family Law if an attempt were made to formalize such marriages. The more spouses and children, the more permutations of potential legal conflicts.

The concept of "authenticity" -is racist.
culture
MARK STEYN
Snip....
The concept of "authenticity" -- that one's skin colour mandates particular behaviours, such as voting Democrat and supporting "affirmative action" -- is, of course, racist. But the peculiar touchiness of the black community on this question recurs again and again in Williams's book. "The defence of gangster rap, with its pride in guns and murder, was that it was all about 'keepin' it real,' " he writes. "In that stunning perversion of black culture, anyone who spoke against the self-destructive core of gangster rap was put down as acting white."
This is a fascinating theme whose significance extends far beyond music -- or, in this case, "music." We're encouraged these days to disdain ethnic stereotypes -- the Scots are stingy, the Germans humourless, etc. -- but, if one were to ascribe certain characteristics to particular ethnic groups, you'd be hard put to burden African-Americans with as many disabling pathologies as are currently touted under the justification of "keepin' it real." "Violence, murder, and self-hatred were marketed as true blackness -- authentic black identity," says Williams. "Keepin' it real" means the rapper Nelly making a video in which he swipes a credit card through his ho's butt. "Keepin' it real" means men are violent and nihilistic, women are "sluts, bobbing chicken heads, and of course bitches." "Keepin' it real," noted the writer Nick Crowe, equates, in effect, to "disempowerment." Because if being black means being a self-destructive self-gratifying criminal rutting machine, and building a career, settling down, getting a nice house in the suburbs, raising a family is acting white, that would seem to hand whitey an awful lot of advantages.

the dowry was to protect the wife's financial security
Women in Late Antiquity:Pagan and Christian Lifestyles
SAYS:
The origin of the dowry was to protect the wife's financial security since it was not in the interests of the state to have poor widows, often with children, dependent on it. "Any property she inherited or acquired after her father's death remained her own. Her dowry could be used by the husband from the time of marriage, but with the powerful restraint that he might have to give some or all of it back if there was a divorce - exactly how much depended on the law of the time and the terms of the marriage settlement. It did not simply become his property. . . If the husband had a financial disaster, return of dowry took precedence over the claims of his creditors."

LONDON - Don't tell the locals but the hordes of British holidaymakers visiting the Costa del Sol this summer were, in fact, returning to their ancestral home.
A team from Oxford University have discovered that the Celts, Britain's indigenous people, are descended from a tribe of Iberian fishermen who crossed the Bay of Biscay 6000 years ago.

celt - blood - uk-
35 000 years ago the men of southern France and the Basque region hunted the wild bison, wooly rhinocerus, horse, and mammoth where they lived in tepees with the women and not in the painted caves according to popular belief. The women would have gathered wild fruits, seeds, and berries where they brought them back to thier campsite. They probably spent most of thier time in those dark tepees and only occasionaly did they most likely wander out of thier tepees to collect the fruit of the plains. The reason being for this is that after menstruation and child birth, they needed protection from the cold and other weather elements to raise and feed thier children. This is probably where the women, over thousands of years, obtained the recessive genotypes like lighter skin and hazel eyes, although not necessarily the dominate phenotype of the O+ blood factor which they most likely picked up 5-6000 years earlier when they ventured out of Siberia on thier way to northern and southern Europe. It is positively sure that a few of the O rhesus positive women joined the O rhesus negative tribe, but a lot of the women travelling to southern Europe just below the Swiss alps likely still had the O rhesus negative factor while those travelling north of the glaciated Swiss alps likely had the O rhesus positive factor. This may explain why a lot of Spanish and Italians presently have dark hair as opposed to the Germans and French who have lighter complexions and blond or blonde hair.

Beauty-Sex-Money: look at any woman standing with her lawyer in a divorce court. She may have been beautiful at one time
Young man says:I also believe that there is no ugly women, everyone has something to offer.
Other man says:Take a good look at any woman standing with her lawyer in a divorce court. She may have been beautiful at one time.
woman says:It shouldn't all be about exterior beauty!!!!!
Replies:
You women are the only ones who ever care for exterior beauty in life. The millions of beauty salons are not created for men. They are to serve your vanity. show me one part of a woman's body which is not treated for aesthetic reasons: you trim your eye brows, treat your eye lashes, paint your toes and nails, stick fake nails, pierce you ears and noses even other body parts, shave all over, change hair color, implant fake breasts, wear high heals, tight clothes, buy 3 million purses, shoes and clothing items and still looking to buy more. Then you put makeup on and then you wear bracelets etc etc etc etc. You are telling me that exterior beauty is not important to you all? Please forgive me for looking for some beauty of the flesh.

Women who are good at things that men respect are respected by men, and they tend to like men because they have things in common.
http://www.fredoneverything.net/Haters.shtml
...So are feminists.
A feminist sees men exactly as anti-Semites see Jews. ...—the same template, the same bottle but with different wine. She has a more hair-trigger anger (“Men are sexist pigs”) because she can get away with it, a more bellicose incivility for the same reason,
Snip
feminists are clueless about men. ...
snip...
They have struck me, without exception that comes to mind, as fitting a peculiar mold: bright, very hostile and combative, but physically timid and pampered, hothouse flowers really, usually from fairly moneyed families and often Ivy or semi-Ivy schools.
Often they have done little outside of feminism and would be helpless out of an urban setting. They have no idea how anything around them works—what a cam lobe is, how a refrigerator makes things cold, or how a file-allocation table might be arranged.......
degrees run to ideologizable pseudosubjects such as sociology, psychology, or Women’s Studies.

Dowry and slavery
snip
...
hidden enslavement of the African women occurs through the use of African culture and tradition. In this case, the slavery comes in the form of dowry payment. The dowry issue has gotten out of hand. It has become a moneymaking machine, a total deviation from what our forefathers prescribed. Perhaps, the dowry payment episode that occurred in 1986 would help one understand the writer's perspective.
At the said time, when the value of dollar was gaining strength over the Nigerian naira, a Nigerian lady friend of mine propositioned for marriage by a suitor who resides in the United States of America. For privacy purposes, I will call this friend of mine Nancy. Nancy had a master's degree and was sociable, affable and extremely attractive. Her suitor was also a Nigerian. According to the Nigerian custom, a suitor must pay dowry to the bride’s family and kindred, otherwise, their union would not be recognized.
Nancy's suitor went home to Nigeria to pay the dowry, to his chagrin; information leaked to Nancy's kindred that her suitor was a medical doctor. Instead of paying an average dowry like others, the doctor was charged double. The fact that Nancy had a master's degree did not help matter either. He was also ordered to pay the dowry in dollars instead of in naira, which would have been cheaper. By the way, in certain parts of Nigeria, women were priced according to the level of their education. The more educated, the more money one would fetch from suitors...

This is NOT a BLOG --A rant
This is NOT a BLOG
from no_blog.html
While I appreciate the amount of traffic that this site has gotten in the short period of time it's been active, and I definitely appreciate the emails I've received with suggestions and support of the site's existence, there are a couple of things I thought I should clear up concerning what this site will and will not be. Firstly, this will NOT be a "Blog."Blogs are those gay-ass web sites dedicated to resembling "my secret diary" in every way possible. Or, worse yet, they're political rantings from the kind of people you avoid conversations with at work and in bars. I'm talking about the arrogant ass holes who enjoy arguing for argument's sake, always have to be right, and can never take the hint that you could give two squirts of piss about whatever it is they're going on about. In fact, if they ever paused long enough to take a breath and ask you a question about whatever it was they were having a monologue on, 9 out of 10 times they'd find that you hadn't heard a damn word they said. You figured out they were subjecting you to real-time blah-g within the first 30 seconds of "conversation" and tuned them out. I don't care about your life, your ideas, or you. I have trouble caring about my closest friends 99.9% of the time because I'm self-centered and wrapped up in my own shit.

School Career Education Money Plumber
There is a lot to be said about being a plumber
commnter said..
. Way back in high school, there was a kid who went to vo-tech, and worked nights for his dad who owned his own plumbing business.
By the time his peers were graduating college, he had been an journeyman plumber for a couple of years and was working on his master.
He also owned a couple of houses and lived in one that he had paid off.
By the time his peers (the ones that made fun of him in high school) got out of law school he owned his own business and had people working for him.
This was 20 years ago. If he wanted to, he could have retired by 30.
He is still working, he has always done new construction so has never had to do the dirtier parts of plumbing, and is
very happy and has been for the last 20 years. There is a lot to be said about being a plumber.

Blog-Comments - Anonymity by JD Stemwedel
A very intesting post from
Janet D. Stemwedel (whose nom de blog is Dr. Free-Ride) is an assistant professor of philosophy at San Jose State University. Before becoming a philosopher, she earned a Ph.D. in physical chemistry.
**snip...
This is the same principle that drives scientists to compare notes about experimental systems and to try to reproduce each other's experiments: If I'm the only one who sees this, it might all be in my head, but if others are seeing this too, it's really there. A paper diary doesn't offer this kind of sounding board -- nor does a blog without any commenting readers.
.............
In a perfect world, people in the workplace would always respond to your ideas rather than, say, retalliating against you for voicing them. (It doesn't even need to be retalliation; sometimes people just start discounting you if you voice an idea that doesn't fit with their assumptions.)
............
but some of the people listening aren't fair-minded. Indeed, some of the people listening may be jerks. It doesn't mean you should just shut up, or not try to create safer spaces for speaking up. But you may have to be ready to roll when the road gets bumpier than you expected it to be.
...........
AND THEN THIS:
an academic blog I used to read that I enjoyed quite a lot. I had to stop, though, when it became apparent that the (anonymous) blogger was married to someone that I knew. (What clinched it was a post about a social occasion that I attended.) To keep reading the blog would have felt, to me, like a violation of the blogger's trust --

This is the same principle that drives scientists to compare notes about experimental systems and to try to reproduce each other's experiments: If I'm the only one who sees this, it might all be in my head, but if others are seeing this too, it's really there. A paper diary doesn't offer this kind of sounding board -- nor does a blog without any commenting readers.

In a perfect world, people in the workplace would always respond to your ideas rather than, say, retalliating against you for voicing them. (It doesn't even need to be retalliation; sometimes people just start discounting you if you voice an idea that doesn't fit with their assumptions.)

but some of the people listening aren't fair-minded. Indeed, some of the people listening may be jerks. It doesn't mean you should just shut up, or not try to create safer spaces for speaking up. But you may have to be ready to roll when the road gets bumpier than you expected it to be.

AND THEN THIS:
an academic blog I used to read that I enjoyed quite a lot. I had to stop, though, when it became apparent that the (anonymous) blogger was married to someone that I knew. (What clinched it was a post about a social occasion that I attended.) To keep reading the blog would have felt, to me, like a violation of the blogger's trust --

polygynous arrangements to limit family
janegalt html#63892
The resource argument seems a stronger case for why polygynous arrangements might choose to limit family size;
in most cases where polygynous relationships have occurred (less advanced societies, certain segues of the Mormons, various cults) the men are the sole or primary breadwinners,
and the additional wife/wives already represent additional consumption on top of whatever children eventually arrive.
Besides that, the fertility rate among monogamous couples in all societies seems to be correlated inversely to an increase in general wealth and women's rights more than anything else.

Learn to grovel! You will have a longer.? marriage..?
From
http jerry pournelle.
Rush Limbaugh today said something about having been a husband he understands that husbands are always wrong. I note he's divorced.
The actual truth is contained in two principles. Both apply to husbands.
The first is from Robert Heinlein: "If you are ever in an argument with your wife and discover that you are in the right, apologize immediately."
The second is Pournelle's principal advice to husbands who want a long and successful marriage: Learn to grovel!
I could spend considerable time on why these principles work, and how they have their roots in evolutionary biology (or in the created nature of men and women if you prefer that), ....
Ann Þ says
Yah , but only if you are living with a spoiled American girl (not one of the 2 or 3 thousands exceptions that are adult) raised in Vaginistan.
That explain why real Yankee are going overseas to find a woman
‡ see Fred on everything for one of many bloggers that details the reasons

Sweden is kaput, ! Its Peoples are too lazy?
From nationalinterest.org
http://tinyurl.com/pz784
...Snip...
If the public sector were as efficient as Ireland's or Britain's, for example, the expenditure could be reduced by a third for the same service. The Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions reports that
Swedish doctors see four patients a day on average,
down from nine in 1975. It is less than in any other OECD country, and less than half of the average. One reason is that a Swedish doctor spends between 50 and 80 percent of his time on administration.
...............
Swedes are healthier than almost any other people in the world, but they are also out sick more often than any other people, according to available data. In 2004,
sickness benefits absorbed 16 percent of the government budget,
while health absenteeism has doubled since 1998. With a sickness benefit of up to 80 percent of a recipient's income (depending on his or her wage level), it is not surprising that there is an epidemic of absenteeism.
............
The system of high taxes and generous welfare benefits worked for so long because the tradition of self-reliance was so strong. But mentalities have a tendency of changing when incentives change. ....
... According to polls, about half of all Swedes now think it is acceptable to call in sick for reasons other than sickness. Almost half think that they can do it when someone in the family is not feeling well, and almost as many think that they can do it if there is too much to do at work. ....
...
A middle class with small economic margins is dependent on social security.
This was Bismarck's plan when he introduced a
system that would make those
dependent on it "far more content and far easier to handle."
......sclerosis creates a public demand for policies that create even more stagnation. This might help explain the lack of reform in Europe, despite all the political ambitions.
The more problems there are, the more dangerous radical reforms seem to the electorate: If things are this bad now, the logic goes, think how bad they'll be without state protection.

Australoids are from OR are the Neanderthals
Gnxp has revelation from "pconroy "
http://tinyurl.com/pmwwf
Razib, John,
Interestingly the inhabitants of Tierra Del Fuego were also phiosiologically unlike other Native Americans, and resembled Australoids more. Many of their initiation ceremonies were similar to Australian Aborigines too.
Curiously some early Cro-Magnon skulls from Croatia IIRC also fell way outside the range of features of modern Europeans and were more like Australoids.
Therefore I'm sticking to my idea that Australoids = Neanderthals, who have undergone some evolution in the last 40,000 years, from their classical feature in Europe.
IIRC, certain brain formation alleles (ASPM?) were at high levels in France (>50%), and in neighbouring areas at around 20-40%, but in Papua-New Guinea, were at 55%. So, if Neanderthals hybridized with early moderns in France or maybe Iberia
Of course there are people who may not have interbred with moderns in the areas other than Australoids, they are the Negritos. The Semang are one such group. Another group are the Negritos of Australis or Barrineans and the Negritos of the Andaman Islands. Of these the Sentinelese
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentinelese
are the most interesting, as the link above says:By their long-standing separation from any other human society they are among the most isolated and unassimilated peoples on Earth http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncontacted_peoples
For what it is ?
