I am inclined to agree with much of what you said (though, not all of it). However, you are making a lot of claims without supplying us with supporting evidence. Can you please provide names of books, studies, or links, etc.?
Specifically, for statements where you claim it is empirical fact:
> but the empirical facts are that (a) promiscuity hardly requires money, social skills and tactics ("Game") being more important, and (b) most people who are socioeconomically comfortable have little interest in promiscuity after age 25.
If you can't supply external evidence of your claims, then please refrain from making such claims in the first place. However, if you do have evidence then I am genuinely interested in studying up on this. :)
- michaelochurch 12y agoI read a lot of different stuff, but Jared Diamond's work helps on early civilization, and so does Simon Baron Cohen's work on gender. Robert Sapolsky's work on baboons and other primate research also gives us a lot of insight into what we were before we became human. If you want to learn about modern "Game"/PUA-land (which is a pre-monogamous culture-- and, thankfully, a non-reproductive one-- that has erupted in 21st-century North America) there's a lot of research on that, but it's depressing and probably not worth your time unless you're a sociopath.
