This thread about slutty behavior (male and female) and the prevailing contemporary attitudes about sex, dating, settling down, setting in general

vs. other notions

who is the best long-term mate, who you’re most compatible with and who is more likely to be the kind of parent who will shape your children into productive, civilized, humane members of society, etc.

All this reminds me of a radio interview on the local NPR station just a week short of a year ago. The host interviewed Spencer Wells (should ring a bell For NatGeo? and Genetics/Anthropology/Evolution fans) just after his then-new book came out:Pandora’s Seed: The Hidden Costs of Civilization. One theme he brought up in the interview was that in Stone Age societies, few to none of our behaviors had real consequences 30, 40, 50, etc years down the road. However, in this day and age, many of our behaviors DO have long-term consequences. Yet, we still have the same old base impulses we did back in 10,000 BC! Therefore, our brains and especially our instincts simply aren’t equipped to decide matters based on potential long-term consequences.

This has to have some bearing on our youthful mating choices, especially given the post 1965 “if it feels good, do it” mentality – which further devolved (in most circles) to “if it feels good and you don’t want to do it, you’re a chump”.

The Unforeseen Cost of Civilization June 10, 2010

How did the Neolithic transition from a hunter-gatherer to agrarian society lead to modern human cultural, health and social troubles? We’ll spend this hour with Spencer Wells, National Geographic Society Explorer-In-Residence and author of the new book “Pandora’s Seed: The Unforeseen Cost of Civilization” (Random House, 2010).

Notch count is a good proxy for male quality.

The boomerang, which is too much of a good thing, i.e. social proof, happens when women perceive that men have no standards. They’ll have sex with anyone who offers it up, no questions asked. This works as a DLV because it demonstrates that the men cannot afford to be selective, but rather have a sort of “starvation” mentality about sex. That signals desperation. I suspect this is directly related to the stigma of STDs.
