evolutionary question

[kwerk]

ok I promise I wont post any more threads for a while but this is a legit thing I was wondering about.

Why aren't men sexually attracted to ALL fertile women? If the goal is to simply pass on your genes, there is no downside to procreating with as many women as possible; fat ones, ugly ones, old ones. Once they are fertilized it becomes their problem. The only downside is the zinc and protein and whatever else needed to produce a "load". Hardly a dietary burden.

I can understand women needing to be highly selective of mates because they have to use massive resources to make the baby, then risk their life giving birth. But I don't see any evolutionary reason for men to have any sort of discriminating taste in mates at all?

You only have to be as intelligent as your enviroment requires. There is a quite low point of diminishing returns. People don't just evolve more and more intelligence for no reason, after they are adapted to an enviroment it stops. I doubt humans are any more intelligent now than 20,000 years ago.

There is one exception though and that is ethnic Jews. Their culture highly valued intelligence so the more intelligent people held the highest status and had the most kids. And today Jewish people hold more Nobel prizes than any other group. They basically had a form of eugenics. Other groups still mostly go by animalistic things like physical appearance.

You could say they had to adapt to an enviroment - the enviroment of being nationless. They had to form a niche to survive in other nations as traders, money changers and the like. The most intelligent ones survived the best whereas the ditch diggers had nothing to offer over the host nations people.

Too many errors to even start to correct.

Once an animal is adapted it stops evolving, like sharks did millions of years ago. There needs to be a new pressures to result in new adaptations.

When apes left the jungle that was a new pressure, then they left the tropics for northern climates and the pressure of an annual harsh winter, then what after that? Social pressures? The only evidence for that is with Ashkenazi Jews who are about 10 IQ points above the rest of Caucasians/Asians.

We're definitely not any smarter than the Greeks or Romans and if we're not smarter than them, then why would we be smarter than the Sumerians or even those frm 20,000 years ago? What is the evolutionary pressure since then?

this is proof you are not from this planet,

take any healthy woman with nice boobs and hips to a bar and ask all the guys "would you poke her as a one off no string attached" most guys would (they might not want to marry her, and they may well say she looks like a dog)..

an attractive guy could ask 10 women for a poke and get turned down by them all,

an unattractive but other wise non freak woman could ask 10 guys for a poke and get 10 pokes

really
