Aw, to hell with it. I'm just gonna say it.

Good Morning morbidly obese friends.

Here's a question: Is is unfair that when men sleep with a lot of women, it's often viewed as a positive attribute, but if women sleep with lots of men they are considered slutty? Here is an answer to that question: No.

Wait a minute... are you promoting sexual promiscuity in men, and denying women the same privilege? That's like having a giant, delicious cake and only letting men eat it. Aren't we beyond that kind of discrimination in this country?

No, no... let me 'splain it. There is something the overly PC are trying to make us forget in this country. Well... there are lots of thing the overly PC are trying to forget, but I won't digress. The point I'd like to make is that, weather we like it or not, men and women are DIFFERENT! Most of you will have undoubtedly noticed by now that there are certain physical differences between the sexes, yes? Yes. But there are also mental and emotional differences that should be discussed here. Let's not keep score, as I'm not saying one is better than the other (cultural prejudices aside), I'm only trying to point out differences in our points of view and genetic predispositions.

Guys, has your girlfriend ever been upset with you for not noticing right away when she's made some subtle change to her look (hair cut/color, new make up etc)? It's rhetorical. I know she has. She's mad because your not noticing right away makes her think you're not paying attention, and therefore don't care. While we may not be paying attention, ladies, we do care. It's just that we, as men are hard wired to look at a face and check it for geometric symmetry. This registers in our natural, subconscious mind as attractiveness in women and strength in men (to an extent). Women are programmed by nature to notice the subtleties in a face far beyond symmetry, because the details will tell her animal brain weather or not they can trust the person. That's why Jake Gyllenhall is the it boy right now. Because his face is not aggressive or intimidating, and women's animal brains tell them that he's likely to stick around and provide for the family if he knocks her up. Sorry, it's true.

Women need an instinctive asshole-o-meter; an initial defense against ne'er do wells. They need it because they are the ones who will carry around and ultimately raise the offspring. I'm not going to get into a father's important roles in modern society just yet, because we need to focus on nature right now, not American culture.

Being that women carry babies around, they are looking for something different in men than men look for in women. Men (by rule of natural selection) need only find as many hosts for their offspring as possible, so the things their animal brains look for in women are largely physical. "Is she gonna produce lots of babies? Healthy ones? Then she's hot, so I must do it with her."

This is repeated in nature constantly. Animals with complex social structures are the same way. Mountain Gorillas for instance, live in packs, and the silver back is entitled to the best poon. Subsequently, the babe with the best poontang becomes the leader of the females in the group. That's just how it works.

It's nature's fault then, that men look to hump lots of partners, and women try to keep their men close and to themselves. It is in this theory that I believe lies one very beautiful thing about monogamy. When men aren't chasing skirts because they promised you they wouldn't, they are defying the laws of nature! They are standing up to a power far beyond that of any human being for the sake of your happiness.

In an effort to level the playing field, I think women in this country are becoming increasingly sluttier. They are sleeping around more, and justifying it by saying how unfair it is for men to do it, but not them. Look at that show, "Sex and the City". That show was a classic example of role reversal. Career women obsessed with sex, money and work. Boring and cliche if you ask me, but that's not the point. The point is, if you disagree with the actions attributed to a large group of people (American Men in this for instance), the way to express your disdain toward their behaviour would NOT be to emulate it. This is not a good time to fight fire with fire.

If I were to play devil's advocate here against myself, and adopt the position the the whole scenario is unfair to women, then, as a man, I'd accept it as my responsibility to NOT sleep around, rather than try to convince women that it's OK if they do it too. Fortunately, I'm not of that school of thought (that it's unfair to women). I'm not sure what society thinks about the issue, but I'll tell you this much; I don't know any men who do not at least appreciate a nice slut. I also don't know any that would take the same slut home to meet the parents, let alone wish to marry her and "settle down". Maybe those guys are out there, but I sure as shit don't know of any.
