1. Discuss the Relationship Between love and sex/ reproduction.
I find that love directly affects the woman in this scenario, while subliminally affecting the man. While sex and reproduction can occur without the aid of an infatuational relationship, it is of the best interest of both the man and woman to partake in this occurrence.
Let’s start with the man. Though most men would say that they would have sex without having any emotional attraction to the woman, it is still in his best interest to do so. Even though he does not realize it, the reason he is even interested in having sex is overwhelmingly to reproduce. This is a subconscious urge. Most men would probably be offended to realize it , but that is what fuels their sex drives. In light of reproduction, having a love relationship with a woman is the best way to assure quality children. By spending time with the partner prior to insemination and eventual fertilization the man can study his mate and determine whether she is a qualified woman to be the mother of his children. Any man can basically have a child with any woman if we forget abut disease and disorders but this does not mean that he will have the best offspring to succeed him. By actually having a loving relationship and forming a bind with his partner the man can know that the woman will take good care of his children. Also, by staying together, they form a superb environment for the children, allowing for female influence for the daughters, and male influence for the sons. Although a buy can grow without his father and a girl can grow without her mother, they are not the best scenarios for each parent has something to offer that each child needs.
For the woman, the benefits of a love relationship with a man are a little more apparent and a little more direct. Everything a woman finds attractive in a man ( wealth, power, strength, health…etc. ) Directly relates to how well he will be able to provide for her children. And in a loving relationship, there is a better chance that the man will stay with her and continue providing for her and her children. Similar to the man, a woman can study her partner when in a relationship and have the governing ability in deciding if he is a worthy man to father her children. Though she could have children with any man, how will she provide if she is in the homestead caring for the children? There is where the wealth and success of the man comes into his attractiveness. His health and stature are of great importance to women as well, for they want the best genes possible for heir children. If a man is very skinny and perpetually unwell, we will not seem very attractive no matter how successful he is. Also, Women need to have love in there life. Emotionally women are much more intense and open than men. I feel that when in a relationship, certain hormones are probably released that make life a little better for both the man and the women. Statistics show that years can be added to a man life expectancy simply by being married. So, as they say “ love makes the world go round.”
2. Discuss the evolution of the 1:1 ratio of Males to Females at reproductive age. This 1:1 ration seems to have a large, direct link with the implication of diversity. Diversity is the single most important piece to the evolutionary puzzle when it comes to have the best mutation for the job and the least amount of defects in a society. What is odd about the ratio is that there are more men at birth, but less men living to old age, but at the point of puberty and throughout reproductive age, the ration is one man, to one woman. Prior polygamous acts would lead to multiple children but reduce quality and diversity. Also going along with question number 1, any man who “loves” more than one woman can love neither woman enough. But back to diversity, if one man has 5 wives and 4 men have none, then the diversity of the gene pool for the Y chromosome is being severely limited. I see this one to one ration being Mother Nature’s way of saying that there is one man for every woman. When there are 5 children born from five couples, there is much more diversity then when those five children are born of one father. The more diversity goes down, the lower the rate of beneficial evolution and the higher the rate of genetic disorders. Look at the Jewish and Amish communities. Both tried to keep reproduction within the community and both have a much increased rate of specific genetic disorders that have began to flood their gene pools. This will go for any culture or animal species on the planet.
Monogamy also leads to more quality children instead having a quantified reproduction. The investment in a human child is much greater than that of a rat or fish, so the 1:1 ration is important in allowing for the right choice of partner for the care and betterment of the child being raised. Hopefully, with one father and one mother to each child that child will be raised well, rather than one father to many mothers having many sub par children. Another small note is that I think the over all mental and physical health of the individuals benefits from being in a good relationship, so for the species on a whole there is a better chance for someone to find a mate that they need.
Let's review.... it is the nature of the beast for man to need to spread his seed and though he can easily do this by not getting involved emotionally with a woman or women. Though not instinctive to man, but in his best interest to choose the cream of the crop to promote the best chance of
carrying out his duty in preserving his genetic pool.
Facts
1. Man doesn't need to have an emotional tie, but he does need a physical attraction.
2.Though it is common to spread many a seed, choosing a monogamous partnership is in his best interest.
3. Quality not Quantity...
4. Love makes the world go round!
5. Life is bilogical,
6. Wants or needs, the bend of both make for a better marriage.
7. Choosing a mate is based on compatablity, but appearance is necessary, no one wants a ugly little lady, thus promoting ugly little
rug rats.
8. Sex is fun, sex is procreation, sex is necessary... sexual compatablity is necessary for a long term relationship.
9. Married men live longer, because love is the fundamental platform for
fullfilling desire.
10. There is no room for disagreement man is right!
