Intelligent argument is always a waste of time with you so maybe if you look at what you said, you'll see the logical flaw. (Hint: before modern medicine, the women who had most chance of becoming matrons were those who began very young...QED, retard.)Quote:

I believe Bailey was born in 1988...maybe she read Ranma1/2 when she was a kid...

"Evolutionary psychologists argue that men, even those who are much older, are genetically programmed to find young women in their late teens and early 20s the most attractive." Raj Persaud, published in The Times Higher Education Supplement, 6/10/2000.
Raj Persaud was then a consultant psychiatrist at the Maudsley Hospital in London.
In fact, the evolutionary origin of men's attraction to very young women is widely established, and has not been a matter of debate for a long time. At least amongst people who know what they're talking about, but no matter what we might be talking about, that wouldn't include you, now would it?
Now off you scuttle under the cooker with the rest of your clan before I stand on you again.
My God man, what is with all the vindictiveness...I tried to keep this light and you just go off the deep end...I mean, calm down already!Quote:

And in the animal world, where females do the hunting many times, a proven huntress is a known quantity vs. a young female who may not have hunting skills...the male who's looking to reproduce instinctively knows the more mature female will be able to feed and care for her offspring.
I refuse to sink to this level...there was no reason for this...you should be able to handle someone not agreeing with you.Quote:

In other species, other pressures produced other results. In humans the division of tasks by gender makes males the hunters. Don't believe me, Google Kuhn and Stiner.
Your point was that "...a girl having her first child in her mid-teens had more chance of survival than one who began later...so men are evolved to be attracted to very young females."Quote:

If you have a group of 35 year old basketball players whom you've seen shoot many baskets vs. a group of players who are younger and stronger who you've never seen shoot, from which group will you choose if you want to bet on which will score more?
And if you say "men evolved" that means a trait that has developed over milena...perferance for youth in male humans is much more about nuture than nature...we're culturally trained that younger is prettier, better, etc.
(sigh) I know this is utterly pointless, because you are as thick as two short planks, BUT
1. Absent modern medicine, if a woman does not have her first child in her teens when her body is supple, then she has less chance of passing her genes on, since her survival risk is higher. This ALONE is enough to cause an effect. Furthermore, if she waits till she's older for her first pregnancy and then fucking well dies in childbirth, then her genes stop right there. Furthermore, while women remain fertile much longer, they are at their most fertile when they are very young, making the chance of a sexual encounter more likely to produce a child. Your argument about 'mature mothers' is in this context utterly specious.
Furthermore, I have already given you one reference from a respected clinician in a high-end publication (not Sports Illustrated) and all you have given is pure conjecture.
If you think you can use basketball to counter accepted scientific and academic opinion, then you are even more of a moron than I thought.
And trust me, that takes some doing.
Do you, by any chance, believe the world was created in six days by an old guy on a cloud? I'm beginning to wonder.
This discussion is over because you are incapable of having a one without resorting to hurling insults even after I tried explaining there was no reason for you to do so.Quote:
