"What percentage of the female population who will at some point in the future conceive take the pill? Quite a lot I'd imagine but i don't see the linkage to my point?" The higher the percentage the higher the likelihood of societal breakdown and Armageddon. I think if it did lead to societal breakdown in certain cultures it would lead to an increase in societies where contraception was used less. | |||

"Female chimps do not selectively mate. Meaning that if there was a 'fab chimps' there would be as many females as males and the profile text would be the same for all "looking for a chimp". Conversely, female humans are fussy so and so's that like men to jump through all sorts of hoops which are generally meant to indicate good genes and a willingness towards parental responsibility, at the median level. However, studies have shown that the types of men that women find attractive change during ovulation. Broadly speaking women prefer more masculine looking men during ovulation and vice versa. However, since the pill is so common and prevents ovulation, it presents a risk that men will deliberately feminise themselves to get chicks. Furthermore, when the women stop taking the pill (usually at a critical point in the relationship) they might then look at their partner with fresh eyes and think 'how the fuck did i end up with this Justin Bieber wanna-be?'. This could of course lead to societal breakdown and the coming of the armageddon. Discuss... It could well lead to the end of macho alpha males, future society being populated by men who have a more nurturing,soft centred approach to life. This will of course,lead to the dismantling of all nuclear weapons and to toilet lids being closed. Thus preventing Armageddon,prolonging humankinds survival and controlling the spread of disease." But the problem is more that the women won't fancy their mate once they stop taking the pill, so it's more likely to lead to divorce or serial monogamy than breeding out the alpha males. | |||

This year my wife stopped taking the pill and the difference is incredible. There's no way i want her to go back on it again. I think i must have spent my entire 20's dating girls on the pill so i didn't really get a sense of how detrimental it can be. | |||

Women are selective and none of the other characteristics they select on will favour beta males. | |||

The problem is that the alpha chimps accept the fact that the females are DTF and so they guard them from the chimps lower in the hierarchy. So whilst you think a chimp might be an easy alternative to sending 100 messages on here to get 1 reply, you could also end up with an alpha chimp sorting you out. They are strong fuckers too | |||

But women found you attractive (and presumably still do) despite being on the pill and despite you not being a feminized Justin Bieber wannabe. So,it's proved that women on the pill do still fancy alpha males and are prepared to stick with them despite they leave the loo seat up.Society can go back to worrying about nuclear war,global warming and who Prince Harry is taking home to meet the in laws. | |||

"Interesting thread... But there's more to consider than just wanton use of the pill... What about all the synthetic female hormones which end up in our water supply through our pee? We're not all blessed with fresh Scottish water and the water treatment process doesn't completely eliminate the molecules. Add to this the many many ways we are exposed to pseudo-estrogens (just think of plastic use in the food/drink industry)... So the male population will become more feminised and it'll impact fertility rates more than by just affecting attraction! " Birth rates are in long term decline and below replenishment levels as well... | |||

"Fascinating question. Unsure on the answer, but on a weirdly related note... It's been proven that cesarean sections are having an adverse affect. Something to do with women's hip width no longer being a determining factor on child birth, and by extension, passing the hip width to the next generation. Weird, but true. " Yes, womens hips have been getting narrower for a long time, basically since we started walking upright | |||

Children/women that would have previously perished due to narrow hips no longer do, meaning that the c-section becomes ever more important, and thus the shape of women changes. What is considered attractive runs parallel to this, bit is not necessarily defined by it. | |||

"Regarding the pill... Maybe. It's seems like a reasonable conclusion to draw from the comments you've made, however... I suspect that changing gender ideals and expectations since the early modern period up until the fin de siecle are as much to blame. Women have, historically speaking, had a rough time for the last few hundred years. The pill is, in my view, merely the latest iteration of controlling those dangerous women (insert sarcastic tone). The feminisation of men is an interesting thought though. Are men being feminised, or have they been historically massculinised to the point of being 1 dimensional? Great topic. " Yeah we could fill 178 posts (when a thread gets closed) pretty easily discussing that! | |||

"Well men are becoming more feminine, and birth rates are falling." Yeah but correlation and causation ate different things. Using that logic, I could say that as 'take that' record sales decrease, birth rate are dropping, thus more 'take that' = more births. | |||

Both in terms of women that claim to choose primarily on personality (yeah right) and 40 year old men who moan that nobody wants to shag them in their parents basement. ..well..i understand that...i gotta paint the walls..do it up a bit... But to actually attempt to address the discussion , society has changed exponentially recently, in terms of social awareness and exposure for 'types' that in the past were somewhat shunned and victimised. I dont doubt that in 10 years time tastes will have changed again and the neanderthal will have his reign again.. I would argue that fundamentally most women still want a man with resources and most men still want a beautiful woman. There really aren't many billionaires with unattractive wives and there are many very unattractive wealthy men with very attractive wives, Harvey Weinstein being a prime example. That's a pretty misogynistic statement to make, to be honest." In reality society is much more diverse than we want to admit...but trends and fashion will influence partner choice as much as anything, and we are in the biebertrophic phase at the minute.. | |||

"Not armageddon but this is ensuring that only masculine men will be reproducing with these women. The human race is strengthening" It's not though. Inevitably some women will just mate with the beta male they find themselves with the way some men will have a morning romp even when the beer goggles wear off. | |||

"Not armageddon but this is ensuring that only masculine men will be reproducing with these women. The human race is strengthening" Assuming that 'masculine' means strong - which I'm not sure it does. Also assumes that physical strength is paramount, which again, it's not. | |||

"Female chimps do not selectively mate. Meaning that if there was a 'fab chimps' there would be as many females as males and the profile text would be the same for all "looking for a chimp". Conversely, female humans are fussy so and so's that like men to jump through all sorts of hoops which are generally meant to indicate good genes and a willingness towards parental responsibility, at the median level. However, studies have shown that the types of men that women find attractive change during ovulation. Broadly speaking women prefer more masculine looking men during ovulation and vice versa. However, since the pill is so common and prevents ovulation, it presents a risk that men will deliberately feminise themselves to get chicks. Furthermore, when the women stop taking the pill (usually at a critical point in the relationship) they might then look at their partner with fresh eyes and think 'how the fuck did i end up with this Justin Bieber wanna-be?'. This could of course lead to societal breakdown and the coming of the armageddon. Discuss..." I'd suggest that female humans are less selective than their socialized behaviour suggests. Women being 'hard to get' or 'selective' has more to do with conditioning than nature. IMNSHO | |||

" So historically women had much greater reason to be selective than now, i accept that. But that manifests itself in baises that are still very noticeable today (e.g. female preference for male height). I get what you are saying but i think thats a sub-set of people not at the average level. | |||

"Interesting topic and enjoyed reading it. My hubby looks like the stereotypical alpha male (but has very high intellect). He'd be fascinated by all this as he's often commented on how "feminine" men have generally become over the past 25 years or so. He also believes, for one reason or another it has almost become "fashionable" to be gay. He thinks there are several reasons, not least the power of television (which would have you believe that gay people represent a far greater % of society than they actually do - watch any soap for such evidence!) and the vulnerability of people to marketing ploys - he often says "men/footballers using moisturiser!!" and observes how men managed without such cosmetics for tens of thousands of years. He says it's got to the stage where he has to prove he's not a Neanderthal to any new people at work, for example, simply because he looks like an alpha male. His view also is that feminine/gay men are getting promoted easier in the workplace. By the way, please note we have no phobias at all (you'll appreciate that from profile) - these are the genuine observations of an intelligent alpha male. " Interesting points, i think soap operas are intelligence cancer and brainwashing for the gullible. | |||

Table 5.2 appears to show that looks are by far the most important factor for both genders. (also, whilst my point on sample size of the research that started this topic may be a 'generic' one, it remains perfectly valid - drawing conclusions on the fate of the human race based on a study of 100 is silly.) The study only goes as far as dating. It doesn't go on as far as mmarriage. If it did then you'd see that whilst the average women might date the 'good looking artist, guitar playing gary' eventually she'll dump him and marry 'steady steve the accountant'. So you agree my original statement was not misogynistic? Well, it wasn't me that called it misogynistic. I'd say it was just more of an unevidenced lazy stereotype. Also if you have to imagine what the study would say it were different in order to try to prove your point, I'd suggest it's failing as evidence. You've just seen evidence and you can't explain all the billionaires who magically have gorgeous wives depsite looking like a pile of shit themselves. As i mentioned, academia is incredibly biased so you can't always find a study to perfectly say what everyone outside the ivory towers knows to be self evident. I haven't seen evidence of your claim, as outlined in my prior post. The study says looks, not money, is most important for women. And I don't deny that *some* women go for men based solely on their money. But your claim was that it is *most* women. Of course you don't actually have any counter evidence and you're happy to assume that someone like Harvey Weinstein just has a cracking great personality that compensates for his looks and explains why his wife is so much better looking than him. Ok. I already said that some women obviously go for men based on money, but that you hadn't shown it was most. Keep wriggling, though.

"I think this thread is based on a lot of assumptions. A lot of woman report increased sex drive or no change in sex drive when on these types of contraception, some women's type don't change or change due to other factors. I don't see a lot of feminine men. In fact I see the opposite and I personally have seen a rise in the amount of "masculine" men. Just because someone looks masculine or feminine doesn't mean they are personality wise. Also being feminine or a little feminine as a man is not a bad thing. Or women being masculine - it just means that as a society gender contracts have changed and evolved. Me personally I have been on the implant and for a while my sex drive was random. Sometimes really high or really low. It has evened itself back out to normal for me. I find some feminine looking men attractive but I did before I went on it. But my preference has always been more masculine looking men with a few exceptions. Just my observation. ~Mia" So just to be clear, you wouldn't allow justin Bieber to impregnate you? | |||

" Ok have a search for "never married adults: which of these factors would be very important for you in choosing a partner?" Sorry but had enough bans for posting links. Spolier alert, 78% of women said "a steady job"." A bit better I guess, in that of this survey sample (of how many it doesn't seem to say), more women prioritize a 'steady job' in their partner than do men. Note 'steady', not 'well paid'. This isn't showing that women crave billionaires. But given that attractiveness and many other factors aren't listed, this is hardly conclusive proof that women value 'resources' above all else. Just that they do so more than men out of a very limited sample of five factors. Which, given that women are more likely to be expected to be the stay at home partners, is not so amazing or telling about the fundamental nature of women. Anyway, as fun as this is, I'll leave it here with my general point, which is that human interactions are messy and complicated and full of all kinds of factors, and trying to reduce things down to statements of 'men like X and women like Y' is futile and unproductive, outside of providing comfort to people who prefer the world wrapped up in simple and traditional stereotypes. | |||

"I'd like evidence that there is a problem, before thinking about a supposition that may be mere fantasy. Has the pill meant men jumping through more or fewer hoops - or even the same? Or are these fab hoops? " If the popularity of Justin Bieber doesn't convince you that there's a problem then there's nothing more i can say to persuade you. | |||
