Essentially, the article claims that women have more orgasms with men who are good-looking (symmetrical). When a woman has an orgasm, that causes her to retain more of the man’s sperm, leading to an increased chance of pregnancy. But symmetrical men typically invest less time/energy in relationships, and they are more likely to cheat. BTW, Physical symmetry is often considered a sign of “good genes”.

So, the upshot of all this is that “The men with the best genes make the worst mates.” And that women are more sexually aroused by good genes than anything else.

I’m guessing the idea is that men with good genes don’t need to stick around to give their offspring the survival benefits of having a father around, but those with not-so-great genes developed husband/father traits to give their offspring a needed boost (and increase their chances of having more children with the same woman, since their genes aren’t good enough to give them a shot at having children with multiple women)? I don’t know anything about genetics so I don’t know if that makes any sense or not.

I never thought I would see that said on a feminist website

Yeah, neither did I (Although my experience with feminist blogs is limited to this one blog post… still, my preconcieved notions about what they would be like still count, even when they turn out to be untrue). In fact, I just came to from fainting with shock.
You know something that’s confusing me? How can feminists both think that women are superior to men AND that men and women are the EXACT SAME? It just doesn’t make sense! Hey, I just proved that feminism doesn’t make sense! HA! And if that wasn’t enough by itself, it flies in the face of the fact that the exact opposite is true, eg. the well-known scientific fact that boys like blue and girls like pink and pink sucks (because it’s girly))

(sarcasm, btw. thought i’d add a disclaimer since some people really do talk like this sincerely)

You do realize that just because women are jerks TOO, it doesn’t mean that they thus don’t deserve to have rights, right? I know a woman I hate so much that I have taken joy in her misery; however, if that woman got pregnant from being a jerk and not using contraception on a one-night stand with the hottest guy she could find to spite someone and demonstrate she was sexier than another person, she still should have access to abortion. She still should get paid equally. And her jerkishness should be considered a function of Hateful Individual X, not because she has boobs and a hoo-ha. She may use her boobs and her hoo-ha in a hateful way because she’s a hateful individual, but her boobs and her hoo-ha are not the cause of her jerkishness.

1) You girls can pretend to be as feminist as you want to, you know as well as I do that confidence is a trait we look for. Although I will admit that there is an ever so thin line between confidence and cocky. Like the Kid of Detroit says, “It ain’t braggin’ if you can back it up…” Girls, you know that is sexy, especially if he can deliver.

2) Perhaps it is this confidence that draws us to the men to begin with, but after a while, a fight happens or disagreement about fundamentals, and suddenly the man becomes a “Jerk” to us?

It makes it easier if you do not try to find emotional connection with every guy you date or sleep with. I’m just saying…
