There's always that need to be with someone, but it would have to be a very deep bond to last well into the later years.<br /><br />But the struggle between Emotions and Biological Urges continue. Too bad there isn't a white flag you could wave once in awhile.<br /><br />Nice post!G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17652703396483339577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1367161100956691682.post-27975057708666700842009-06-02T12:21:00.628-07:002009-06-02T12:21:00.628-07:00Thank you Clarissa for your comment. However, I wo...Thank you Clarissa for your comment. However, I would like to clear up a couple of issues. The point of view I stated are from the field of evolutionary psychology. I do not necessarily agree with it, but it is a legitimate branch of study and knowledge. Your problem would be rather with that particular branch of psychology than with my article I gather. <br /><br />Please consult the following website at http://www.mega.nu/gender.html for more clarification.<br /><br />and I am including a passage below (but there are various other sources as well):<br /><br />"Male jealousy is usually prompted by a suspicion or determination that a female partner is engaging in coitus with someone else. Female jealousy usually follows from a suspicion or determination that a partner's emotional fidelity has been diluted or redirected by involvement with someone or something else - involvement which needn't even be sexual. The explanation for the dimorphism is clear: male procreative strategy centers on successful monopoly of a female's procreative organs, whereas female procreative strategy is the pursuit of a monopoly on the protective and productive attention of a male partner."<br /><br />Take care and hope to hear from you soon!<br /><br />ArashArash Farzanehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12000344680925876563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1367161100956691682.post-47392190444052865442009-05-31T12:59:05.875-07:002009-05-31T12:59:05.875-07:00"Men in evolutionary terms tend to be more jealous..."Men in evolutionary terms tend to be more jealous of sex than women. Male instinct needs to ensure that if their partner is pregnant, that it is undoubtedly his and not someone else’s child. Women, again in an evolutionary perspective, tend to be more jealous when it comes to emotions"<br /><br />-I'm sorry but these are chauvinistic patriarchal stereotypes that have absolutely no scientific proof behind them. Your article started so well. It was a huge disappointment to see it slide into these misguided commonplaces.Clarissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11027134365260069910noreply@blogger.com
