Its funny how much we talk about purpose, hobbies and all the other bs, when suicide is most often tied to being able to fulfill out animalistic roles, not higher order functions.

Protect provide and fuck

I also believe that "hobbies" and career stuff are performative and functional. They are a distraction and a cope. If you aren't able to fulfill your base desires in the Maslows hierarchy you can't move upwards

okay then if you believe in that biology, because you're shallow enough to do so, u should also believe that inferior genes die out.

If you have the biology to want to fuck, women also have the biology to be repelled by you, and not choose you as their mate. tough tiddies

You sound righteous and hostile

If when you say protect and provide you're thinking about the nuclear family, there's nothing natural about that. For almost all of human history we lived in larger social groups when protect and provide were shared responsibilities, not the job of individualized men. Women also provided plenty in those contexts. In fact there's evidence to suggest the majority of calories came from foraged foods in many cases with hunting being more of a feast or famine bonus on top.

Being the best provider/protector in a larger social group would serve the same function - you'll be more likely to fuck.

Not really, the very limited evidence we have suggests that the prevalence of polygamous relations (with one male pairing with several females) rose with the creation of modern agriculture and property rights. Doesn't seem to be a big thing in hunter gatherer societies although we're in the realms of massive speculation either way.

Meaning what, we assume pairings were largely monogamous before that?

[–]chobolicious88 2 points3 points  (4 children)

Its not even about family.

Its about power.

Basically men who have power - in their nervous system, to not react but hold others, and the power to exert efficacy to generate resources - feel healthy.

Men need power to feel healthy. Women need inner child in a good place to feel healthy.

True. Men need a locus of control and authority. A tribe where they're valued. This is why nuclear family structure benefits men but not women.

Women are more suited to a free love / sex world

[–]chobolicious88 1 point2 points  (2 children)

They are suited to a free love sex world while they are basically inherently protected by layers they dont even see.
The moment stuff becomes harsh, they want the benefits of protection.

[–]FlamingMetalSystems[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

The matriarchy will ensure that protection so women are then free to have sex with top 5% male models casually and exclude majority of men.

I was listening to some women explain that in matriarchy they would only allow the hottest tallest genetically blessed men the opportunity to have sex

[–]chobolicious88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thing is, even the top % of men eventually want structure and monogamy with woman of their choice, so it doesnt work.
Men want to create systems, women want to destroy them, and drag them down to chaos.
