Ever stop to consider this???

When you step back and think about it, isn't it ridiculous that so much effort has to go into "meeting, dating and attracting women?"
That just obeying our biological drive to reproduce ('cuz that's the origin of our sex instinct) is so bloody difficult to bring to its ultimate fulfillment?
I suppose that you could look at it this way - the challenge of it all gives value to the prize, but sheesh! Sometimes I wonder if our Creator just had a field day imbuing us with nearly equal desires, but unevenly distributed tools with which to fulfil them.

Survival of the fittest. Many animals fight for mating rights. Heck, even sperm race each other.

Many things can go wrong in individuals, so evolution throws tests at us to see if we can survive to mating. To the victor go the spoils.

Both of these proceed from the assumption that survival is some kind of divine game..that reproduction is our purpose in life.

Life means nothing...we just happened to grow this way, and it just happened to work.

It's true that nature has no real purpose. However, evolution has designed in mating instincts that take account of future survivability. We males are attracted to physical beauty because it signals healthy genes. Females are attracted to protectors and providers (as well as healthy genes.)

Evolution HAS no design. We were not "designed" to survive. We're built that way, yes, but by sheer chance. We weren't built for survival...it's just by chance that survival comes to organisms that happened to be built like us.

Once again, the bottom line is that it doesn't matter what evolution does. Evolution is just a construct we have to justify why we survive and others do not.

Don't sit around and wonder why we chase women. There IS no reason. It didn't happen that way on purpose. We just happened to catch the current of survival instead of extinction. I know a lot of people would like to THINK there's something more special than that to it, but there's not.

Just experience life for what it's worth. Don't try to justify everything with a cognitive reason...some things just can't be put into words.
