Who's your guy?

[Netzach]

Somehow I just think my purposes are at odds with this quiz.

 

[Soumis]

Voted number one...or at least, my hormones voted number one.

Number 2 sounds like a manipulative bastard and not in a fun way. In a shady way. Morbidly rich? Pyramids of gold? So déclassé.

I think my hormones may be grasping at straws.

So that was just basically the 2 ways a guy can acquire maximum females. Of course the artistic depiction. You can either go gorilla, kick all other males ass and keep your harem in check.

Or

You can become powerful in society, and apparently as results indicate, have the women flock to you.


Interesting results though, you subitches do realize number ones more likely to wife beat on you.

 

[Netzach]

There are a lot of studies coming out debunking this to a degree - they're finding that language and communication are a premium in acquiring female attention - that successful communicators form a kind of third option.

 

[Netzach]

I'm kind of maxed out on communication, I have my communicators, I have my pretty trophy face and now I just want a horsey ride.

 

[YourCaptor]

You mean,

Only heterosexual women vote, please.

Can gay men vote, too?

No gays allowed, right to refuse, etc.

Just kidding, but its not that serious as to do details.

To be honest they both sound totally unattractive. I find big muscles a turn-off and I find the pursuit of power and wealth a turn-off.

I vote for Option 3 - the highly intelligent, highly educated, highly witty man.

Interesting, just for kicks, vote again when you're ovulating. Apparently it makes a difference. Question is for which of the two jerks.

That was my initial reaction, too.

Sorry YC, I'd rather be celibate for life than be with either of those choices.

Fun-less

Makes sense.

When a woman wants good genetic material for procreation, she picks the strong one.

When a woman needs a good provider for the family, she picks the successful one.

But now that life expectancy goes beyond popping out kids and far beyond them leaving the nest, having someone that does not bore you to death and you can have good conversations with, becomes indeed important.

/end of my 2yen pop-pseudo-evolutionary-&-cultural explanation on how women pick men.

 

[Netzach]

The high number of women I know who are with their guy "because he made and makes me laugh" alludes to this language thing.

Both of them are likely to beat on a woman, as well as other men.

Back in the days when I ovulated, I wanted a man who could scream my name. *shrug*

Well, its not actually what women want, its whats on the plate. After men do their dominance thing, 1 of these guys stays standing. I was just curious which one is actually, plausibly preferred. Considering its about 10:01, this may actually make an interesting real study.

I'm sure my fabulous dean, who gained his fame through a study saying women are more upset by commitment cheating then physical, while men are the other way around, would be interested.

Well, technically option 2 gets his power through society, and unless they are pro beat the wife, he can't do it without losing something. Option 1 however has to beat the women to prevent coalitions, and them from running away.

 

[Stella_Omega]

So, is this a study project you have going?

 

[YourCaptor]

No, although it could be fun. Get an example of 1 and 2, then lock them in a room with chicks for 24 hours. Then for a control, me, chicks, locked in for 24 hours.

Seriously, at the moment it's all rats and psychopharmacology. Not really my favorite either, but that's the professors line of work, so you know.

get an example of 1 and 2 and me--lock us in a room with chicks for 24 hours.

Now that would be an interesting experiment.

Seriously though, you are starting with a false dichotomy-- the barbarian and the banker are not opposites, any more than a lesbian and a bottom are opposites. And asking women to make a choice between two worst-case scenarios, as you seem to be doing here, is like Bloved's either-or pronouncements. Totally simplistic, and humans are not totally simplistic.

You could get a lead as to which types of men women prefer under which conditions, but you would need to compose your survey with a whole lot of redundancy... lots of rewordings, yanno?

 

[Keroin]

Only Women vote, please.

Just for fun, what is your immediate, initial choice? Vote first, think and debate later.

Option 1: The over muscled barbarian that crushes the skulls and balls of all other men but loves cats and always has a plentiful supply of chocolate.

Or

Option 2: The morbidly rich head of affairs that can contract armies and build pyramids of gold and is funnier than Jon Stewart and makes the best martini known to man and thinks unshaven legs are sexy.

OK...now I'm tempted.

Cat lover...funny guy...chocolate...martinis. Decisions, decisions.

I'll go with #1 because I can be funny enough for both of us, I already make the best martini known to man, and one can never have enough cats or chocolate.

Plus the skull crushing thing is very Sparta. Mmmm, Sparta.

That's totally simplistic - people ride wits, charm, and the ability to bullshit to success of all kinds, sexual included.

The guy who watches the wealth and muscle showdown from the next hill over is the one who gets me every time.

 

[celticsunspiral]

Hmm, I voted for number 2 because I like an intelligent man. But if we could mix the two, now that would be the bomb. Tall, strong, higly intelligent, yep that's what I like!

 

[Soumis]

Agreed.

Domestic violence is a collarless crime. It cuts across all socioeconomic classes.

 

[PertPerth]

*votes for the suit*

I dated a very attractive, very buff, but not very bright guy once. He was totally over protective and made me feel like I couldn't look after myself. Never ever again. I need brains, not a guard dog.

Well, its not even so much about sex directly. It's just how guys outdo each other. Basic, instinctive programing. The weasels and witty, with that alone, they don't get a big slice of the pie, they just manage to work the situation in their favor now and again.

They are not meant to be opposites, just what is.

Where are you getting this stuff from?

 

[Primalex]

The high number of women I know who are with their guy "because he made and makes me laugh" alludes to this language thing.

What answer do you expect?

"because his cat has nine tails"? "because he has strong arms"?

I bet even Arnold Schwarzeneggers groupies said that he makes them laugh.

 

[Eva1173]

The second one was my choice, even though he didn't sound very attractive.

The first guy, he sounds like he lacks a brain? The only thing he has are muscles, and that I do not find attractive.

The post where you pointed out that number one would make the best wife beater...I disagree;
Number two will have the brains to think of ways to make you experience pain, both physically as well as mentally.

Only getting the physical part? That's like having an oreo cookie after someone scraped off the white stuff.

Arnie is both guys in one package.
