An EDF Introspective: S.R.E.A.M.

[gonores]

All,

I'd like to clarify something. I meant to be very broad when I said

[ QUOTE ]
doing certain things in our lives in the name of getting laid is generally seen as acceptable or even admirable among our group of peers

[/ QUOTE ]

This doesn't just mean getting drunk or lowing your standards. This encompasses things like going to the gym and focusing on looking attractive instead of increasing your health. Also, things like maybe going to medical school or buying a rolex or going to a lame social gathering even though you don't think it'll be fun would apply. Literally anything that has been done in the name of increasing the chances of having sex can fall under this umbrella.

Which gets back to the point that everything guys do is related to improving their chances not only at sex, but at the perceived best quality sex partner.

And obviously "everything" or "everyone" isn't exactly accurate, but I think it's generally true, which I think is to your point.

We call in to question soooo many motivational tools such as money, religion, obligation to others, spite, etc,

[/ QUOTE ]

these motives rarely get called into question unless the actions they inspire are deemed unethical. It's the same thing with sex actually.

237 reasons why people have sex

[nath]

I mean, I like sex and I have a sex drive, because I like being with women. Like, for whatever reason, I find being in love to be about the greatest thing there is, and a lot of the stuff on the way to that is really damn good, too. Even when I'm not in love with a girl, I still like being with the ones i'm attracted to. That's a hell of a lot of fun.

And you can say that, well, I'm genetically wired that way, to think I fall in love, and think I enjoy the company of women, just to get me to procreate, because that's how we evolved, but, I mean, at a certain level, what's the difference?
