parental investment theory

[sally]

'Robert Trivers theory proposes that the sex investing more in offspring (typically the female) will be selected to exert stronger preferences about mating partners. This greater choosiness by the more heavily investing sex exists because greater reproductive costs are associated with indiscriminate mating and greater benefits are associated with exerting a choice. The costs of less discriminating mating will be lower for the sex investing less and the benefits will be greater. In species where investment in offspring by males and females is equivalent, the sexes are expected to be equally discriminating in their choice of mating partners' (Trivers 1985)


IN CONCLUSION: FEMALES, BE MORE PICKY. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

i.e. marry a doctor.

are u telling me u have? you're forgetting the fact that girls who are forced to take such actions would do so solely 'coz boys are stupid and dont have balls to come up to a girl. duh! .i can go on and on with my boy hating chant, but i'll spare you some misery because im pretty sure u knowwhat im talking about.

Spare us, please.

It spins both ways. I know guys who are picky about choosing a girl because they're not solely about looks, but they're also actively thinking about what girl will be a good mother to their children and also one who will bear healthy children, can she handle pregnancy well, what is her character like, does she have modesty, does she possess grace under fire, does she look like someone who's steady hand could rock the cradle and rule the world, blah blah blah - etc.

The point I highlighted using a metaphor which may appear to be offensive to some was that girls are not supposed to approach guys. unless they know them well enough beforehand with a clear indication of him liking a girl.

As far as the guy being hesitant in approaching the girl bit is concerned, it could be due to many reasons..i.e. not interested enough in the girl, doesn't want to get into a relationship at that point, not in a financial position to propose, etc.

so like whatevaaaaaaaaaaaaa,

atleast if boys have the means to ask for a girls' hand even if the girl shows no interest, on the other hand, girls will never know the answer if the one whom she is interested in, is he interested as well.

If shes interested in having babies and emotionally strong enough about the issue. There are some girls who completely freak out at even discussing the topic...that pregnency is tentamount to going through hell to them...I am sure you've seen some around as they're not too hard to find...

Good sturdy birthing hips.

Anyway, I know a girl though who's got really stringent standards (she's a devout Christian), and she's def not ugly... there are a lot of guys who like her. But, I don't know if she's ever gonna get married because her standards are so incredibly narrow.

And what do those look like exactly?

ShahRukh: But how do you know if she could physically handle it? And I dunno anybody like that.

ps: i didnt know certain men gaze at the crystal ball in their spare time? astagfirullah no one is able to tell who can and can't bare children if one claims then they're a big liar nothing else.
