For every 1 man that reproduces, 4-5 females will reproduce

Reminder: hypergamy is real. The 80/20 rule is REAL.

According to genetic studies, "In more recent history, as a global average, about four or five women reproduced for every one man."

It was even worse back in the day, 17 women reproduced for every 1 man.

Super duper cool story, bro.

So who did they have sex with?

Sounds like we have strong legacy of one man one woman marriage to look back at.

OKAY

I'm not surprised. It's a pretty stereotypical gender role (most girls probably grow up with the intention of children - not necessarily the same case with guys). It's easier for guys to live their lives without ever having to carry the burden of children.

And TC still can't get any

Hypergamy. Females would rather share an alpha than have a beta to themselves

How many times have you been shared? ;D

Your source doesn't actually back that up

must have been a lot of prima nocta

Yeah dude these are our circumstances

This comment strikes me as odd. While it is strictly correct, the article does not mention hypergamy; I would contend that the comment itself is misleading. This is because the data found in OP's source is a logical implication of hypergamy. So, I'm presuming here, that you really don't want to believe in feminine hypergamy. Regardless, it's a well documented concept in evolutionary psychology.

being correct is odd?

He says hypergamy is real, and cites this article. Except the article doesn't prove that, it simply puts it out as one possible hypothesis to explain their data. He puts it forward as if it's the conclusion of the study

for real

mao your sexist posts are getting weird btw

What are you even talking about? This evidence shows that it is harder to get laid as a male, not easier. And please explain how this is sexist

That's not what the article shows

This only tells us how many men have women bear their children.

Tells us nothing about sexual and romantic partners.

It shows that a minority of males were impregnating a majority of females

So you're not denying that you can't get any?

I'm not a virgin if that is what you're asking. Even if I was, it shouldn't matter

Your right hand doesn't count, sorry.

Not what you were talking about

Thats what hypergamy is all about. A minority of males getting the majority of females

Uh no it isn't. Also still not what you were saying

Dude, everybody on here thinks you're a salty virgin weirdo, go improve yourself and get laid because the spam of anti-female threads just reinforces what we think of you.

That's accurate but it's an oversimplification of differences of male and female attraction and behaviors.

Most men can tell you whether they want to sleep with a woman within a second of seeing her. Most women based that on tons of factors that takes time to figure out. Also I think societal norms expect men to make the initial move, and women are expected to pick from the men that approach them. And some men never initiate contact; they kinda just expect women to throw themselves at them because they flaunt nice things.

I am not a virgin. And how is this thread anti-female? I am discussing observable occurrences in the human mating rituals.

The article you linked doesn't even support your post. The 17 to 1 disparity was because a small amount of men held all the power, and thus were afforded access to as many women as they wanted. Women only had sex with one dude because they didn't have any choice. You could likely attribute today's smaller disparity to the fact that women have more choice, and thus are allowed to choose their own partners instead of being in some ruler's harem.

Also, you conveniently ignore the very handy chart that shows the 17 to 1 disparity was not a natural state, it was a culturally induced phenomenon. Prior to the dropoff, the numbers of reproducing males and females are much, much closer. Hence why their hypothesis was it was due to the formation of large settlements with centralized power, because little else aside from a massive male-only extinction event could explain the disparity. Today's global average is still influenced by areas where there is still a large disparity in power, with some having 10-1 ratios while others are much closer to equal.

that must make father's day the most confusing holiday of the year.
