Tuesday, March 11, 2003 Biology of sex again This one explains why it is reasonable for young women to marry old (very old and rich) men, but not the other way around (young men married very old women). According to zoologist perspective: "First, the fact that they are old suggests longevity in their gene pool. Second, wealth indicates alpha male qualities. Third, the fact that they are rich and old suggests alpha male qualities so strong that they are sustainable throughout the already established long life. The danger is, with a rich young man, that he might be an alpha flash in the pan; the stamina and commensurate value of his alpha-ness has not been established. Only powerful genes can sustain displays of supremacy throughout the twilight years. It doesn't work in reverse, with young men fancying rich older women, because of the decline in female fertility, culminating in menopause well before the long-lived gene can be established." posted by lmeimei @4:25 AM| permanent link| | |
