I mean you can pick crappy dates and not take a professional's advice for free ya dig?..... People really need to grow the hell up! I mean physical attraction is a factor but unless the person looks like quasimodo or a female shabba ranks...then why not give them a chance?!?!? <BR/><BR/>IntrospectiveGoddessAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617426134849640048.post-76143476879257229182008-03-14T13:09:00.000-04:002008-03-14T13:09:00.000-04:00Simple biology.

So his libido, which is tied directly to his evolutionary need to reproduce, made him choose her. Yes, the teacher is clearly more intelligent. But, one can argue that the younger woman is more fit to survive because she's made it on the show just like the teacher is, yet she has noticeably less intelligence. Unfortunately, Darwin does nothing to address our need to actually talk/socialize/enjoy the company of the person we will want to reproduce with.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617426134849640048.post-92082357148172926872008-03-13T16:02:00.000-04:002008-03-13T16:02:00.000-04:00Well since I'm "addicted" to all things reality, I...Well since I'm "addicted" to all things reality, I saw the Millionaire episode and what the guy should have said is that he wanted a woman in her 30s who was intelligent, liked yoga, etc., but who had a 20 year old's face and body. Because that's basically what it came down to at the end of it all-the physical. 20 year old was cuter, perkier (in all aspects) but she was dumb as some rocks-I mean the man was talking about how he fed the homeless during Thanksgiving and her response was that she gave up carbs-there's nowhere else to go from there, except maybe the bedroom. I think on some level, people in general are not just attracted to, but intrigued by the physical or that there is something about that person that they like, but they know that everything else is not clicking but at the same time there is some comfort in staying w/ that person. You may want one thing but you know that might mean that you have to challenge yourself to recognize the beatuy in people that goes beyond the physical and that ain't easy...so you just fall back on what you know...Rum Punchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05675412616844332162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617426134849640048.post-37956938373970967792008-03-13T15:01:00.000-04:002008-03-13T15:01:00.000-04:00I saw that episode randomly the other day and was ...I saw that episode randomly the other day and was thinking why did he pick her. And, omg! The date! The date was AWFUL! definitely cringeworthy. <BR/><BR/>But it's sadly true we say we want different but we are quite comfortable with what we know and have liked in the past.<BR/><BR/>For me, I TRY to go outside the box, but then what I'm presented with outside the box I run from it and go back to what I know and love. ah, life :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617426134849640048.post-52126282020156578492008-03-13T12:08:00.000-04:002008-03-13T12:08:00.000-04:00Sometimes I find myself going through the followin...Sometimes I find myself going through the following internal dialogue, "This is not what you want. Yeah, but at least I know what I'm getting."<BR/><BR/>Maybe the familiarity plays a part in it. It's like an equation. You know exactly what the answer is going to be. The answer may suck, but at least you won't be surprised by it. Most people are unwilling to step out on that ledge and try something different, even if different is what they want.Gangsta Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08144889975946301571noreply@blogger.com
