Cos men are dogs looking for that mate in heat

I just re-read your post. Excellent.
Biochemistry and pheromones etc play a huge part in partner selection.. It is all based on immune system compatibilities and genetic
imperfections. You do not want a mate whose immune sysytem is identical to yours = you'd want to combine two different
immune systems, threrefore affording your offspring a stronger chance of survival, same with genetic imperfections.
You know how certain people just don't smell good to you ? It's not that they are unclean, it is just that their body's natural
odor/aroma is not pleasing to you. That's your senses/pheromones doing the pre-selection of a potential mate..
A good, simple summary you put up, interesting to read it from a philosopher's point of view ..

My post was only a very condensed version of his works, I should emphasize, and there is a bit more in terms of the whole area of attraction which is linked to your earlier post about the ability to provide physical and financial security.
The most interesting thing is the reassurance Schopenhauer offered to those of us who get rejected - he believed that rejection was nothing more than the subconscious acting of these biological imperatives, meaning a person isn't necessarily rejecting you personally but it's a rejection of a lack of compatibility on a biological level. Although it's difficult to see what consolation if any that offers to you when your dream man or woman turns you down.

i sarted coming here for the women first and then started reading the forums. could never keep up with what was going on as things moved fairly fast. tbh i could never fiigure out how people had so much time to post, guys who were eventually made mods, who were clocking up thousands of posts - definitely some sort of addiction. anyway back in the day it was very entertaining reading, with some very frisky exchanges. like someone else said if you go back a few years it was a completely different board. still you get the odd good thread appearing every now and then (like this one), so is still worth popping round every now and then. interesting aswell to see what is written on other forums bout here but you have to wonder about the idea of another forum that has been set up as a meeting place for banned users from here. can no one, even those banned, move on from here??
see you next tuesday

“All right,” said the Cat; and this time it vanished quite slowly, beginning with the end of the tail, and ending with the grin, which remained some time after the rest of it had gone.
