  • Wealth Causes Genders to Specialize Not Compromise

    —”Previous research suggested that sex differences in personality traits are larger in prosperous, healthy, and egalitarian cultures in which women have more opportunities equal with those of men. In this article, the authors report cross-cultural findings in which this unintuitive result was replicated across samples from 55 nations (N = 17,637). On responses to the Big Five Inventory, women reported higher levels of neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness than did men across most nations. These findings converge with previous studies in which different Big Five measures and more limited samples of nations were used. Overall, higher levels of human development–including long and healthy life, equal access to knowledge and education, and economic wealth–were the main nation-level predictors of larger sex differences in personality. Changes in men’s personality traits appeared to be the primary cause of sex difference variation across cultures. It is proposed that heightened levels of sexual dimorphism result from personality traits of men and women being less constrained and more able to naturally diverge in developed nations. In less fortunate social and economic conditions, innate personality differences between men and women may be attenuated.”—

  • Love is very simple to explain…

    Nov 23, 2019, 8:34 PM by Joseph E. Postma Love is very simple to explain… For a woman, you get the feeling of love where there is the possibility of a nest. For a man, you get the feeling of love where there is the possibility of fertility. Love is THAT simple. It’s a nice feeling…but it’s very mechanical in fact, and very simple. It’s more or less rational when you have a male and female of roughly equal marketability and roughly equally-limited supply, i.e., in a healthy community. Then you get good families and roughly good marriages. A female nests, a male inseminates. Rich men give the proposition of unlimited nesting, hence they are given unlimited supply. Young attractive (healthy) women give the proposition of unlimited inseminating, hence they are given unlimited offer. In these bounds are marketability and also disposability. At the boundaries, you get insanity of course and nothing rational at all. Unlimited supply on one hand, and zero on the other. It’s simply about what leads to, what has the potential to lead to, successful reproduction…which is what genes want. A woman has every right to value the potential to nest from her partner (agency, wealth, resources), as a man has every right to value the potential of fertility (young, healthy, attractive).
