Evolution leads to adaptation. You guys need to adapt to the new reality of society

[Shivastorm_88]

Darwin said: "evolution occurs through one of its main principle, which is natural selection, and this leads to adaptation."

Adaptation to what? In the animal world, you can pretty much sum it up to adaptation of the environment. For example, it can be adaptation to a drastic change to the environment (think glacial era), or drastic migration (introduction of a species to a foreign biodiversity).

Animal adaptation is at the same time overly simplistic and immensely complex. Complex because of how it plays on the genes, and simplistic because of what is involve (the environment). However, the concept of human adaptation is far, far more complicated.

Do we, as humans, have to adapt to our environment? Yes and no. We do not in the sense that animals have to. We have, in a way, mastered our external environment. However, mastering that environment has created vast and composite societies that are ever changing at an exponential rate, in part due to the ever growing population (at first local, in our age global) and the increasing rate of technological advances. Hence, the realities of our forefathers are nearly alien to us, and the realities of our fathers and grandfathers are a source of nostalgia for us. However, they are no longer real. And this is what we have to adapt ourselves to; the ever changing society.

In the early 20th century, women had no rights. They could not vote. They were considered second class citizens. Hell, even by the 1950's, in many parts of the "civilized" western culture, they were seen as second class citizens, had limited rights, and were only beginning to enter the workforce. Hence, they were dependent of an external party, either their family, or a man. However, today, they are fully financially independent, dominant in certain career paths. Heck, in Canada, if the current trends follow, there will be almost 150% more women then men graduating in four years time:

Hundreds of thousands of students will be heading to university for the first time this week and the majority of them will be women. By the time this first year class dons cap and gown the gender imbalance will be even greater; if the trend from recent years continues, and there is every reason to believe that it will, four years from now there will be 156 female graduates for every 100 male graduates.​

And this has been ongoing since the 1980's. Hence, it can be seen as a persistent trend. In 2009, more women then men had university degrees. In the 25 to 34 age bracket, the percentage was 34.3 (women) VS 26 (men). In the 35 to 54, the percentage was 28.1 (women) VS 25.1 (men).

For as long as mankind itself, women have been dependent of men. Now, they are no longer in that position. Whether we like it or not, this affects the social dynamics. They have more liberties, and we can see this in the pattern of behaviors. Women are more promiscuous than before. Women do not have to endure abuse from men, whether in a committed civil relationship, or in a marriage.

Resistance to change is futile, and is only hurting the organism trying to avoid it. The organism that cannot adapt will die out and become extinct, and the one that can adapt, will thrive in its new environment. Yes, I understand that for many, this is scary, and this is not something they appreciate, but unfortunately, it is far greater than any of us. We have to embrace the new realities that today's society throw at us, and we have to adapt ourselves to them.

How this information can help men to fvck more women? Total mental masturbation!

Great thread if you ask me. What the OP is saying is we should constantly seek to improve ourselves. Something we should all agree with. In the world we now live in, "survival of the fittest" is more "survival of the mentally fit" than anything else.

I don't know what's with the influx of posts by people who are actually "thinking", but I'm enjoying it...

I completely understand what's coming from this post. Men are born with this natural instinct to "protect" their investments. This may be a man's money, home, possessions, and because we're slow to evolve, his woman. Women will never understand why a man gets jealous when she talks to another man. It's because the man is trying to protect the woman he has invested time and effort into. It's natural, but because it's no longer deemed socially acceptable to see women as "property", it's labeled as being "needy".

The women don't understand this though. They don't understand why he gets so fvcking aggravated when she's "just talking" to some other guy. But remember, women also don't understand why they let you fvck them on the first date. Women don't really aim to understand, they just aim to feel something.

Anyway, since treating women as property is no longer useful in our society, we have to work against that natural urge to treat them as such. When she's talking to another man, you have to realize that he's still just an AFC and that YOU are able to find another woman if she ends up fvcking him by some chance. It requires a lot of self-control, but it can be done. I personally would prefer to treat them as property, but it just doesn't work in today's society. We have to adapt to the fact that this is no longer the way it works.

It's almost tempting to say that women are evolving faster than men, but when you look at how aimless and directionless they generally are, it's evident that they still have the need for men to keep their asses in line. Unfortunately, laws have been created to grant women this freedom to be aimless and directionless.
