That's not the case. The best guy here still gets his choice, but even he has to jump through a hoop or two to get what he wants.

You let her shovel snow? Dude that's heavy work.
The times they are a-changing. Since we're no longer in a prehistoric era, we're not looking for the guy who'll drag us the furthest by our hair. Strength in men is viewed differently by different women. (Could you imagine every female after the same guy! Would that be wild?) Some women like 'em long and lean, some like tall and muscular and all sorts of shapes and sizes in between. Some prefer a mental prowess over brawn, some need a certain balance.

I think that when women are young, they have a certain ideal, or shopping list, when they look at men. As we grow, we start to let go of the fairy tale notions and find that a man with wit and personality begins to look sexier as we get to know him. He makes us feel safe, maybe because he's so intelligent and savvy.

We come from different backgrounds. I think it's fairly safe to assume most of the ladies that you'd find at TFP were raised to become strong women and told that there were options out there. By the time most of us became adults, we had gone to college or work. That doesn't mean there aren't women who'd prefer to be home raising a family and maintaining the home, but those women are going to be very choosy. And the dedicated career woman? Forget it! Just drop your resume and she'll let you know. Last but not least, don't forget the woman who wants it all -- family and career!

Things have also changed in that the biological needs are secondary to our need for love, companionship and relationships. If the man we are biologically attracted to doesn't fulfill those needs, he gets kicked to the curb.

Besides, we all know that women control the world!
