    An interesting read ..

    I reckon the girls argument was rather lame ...

    ... and I tend to agree with the guy.

    What is more important, a good marriage or "Winner" genes?

    well if it is indeed an excerise in labor specialisation, then both can have 'winner' genes. one just specialises in the 'household work' market.

    Good point, dreamer! If you're the best damn housewife in town, your genes probably blow all those CPA ladies away.

    Of course you agree with the guy; you're a man.

    No ****ing shit you want us to go to the gym and work out! You want us to be built and intelligent. Why don't we tell you to get off your fat ass and go to the gym? Because you'll get offended and we'll get squirted in the eye with your cunt blood.

    OK.... You must be Christian. You want us to marry a woman that will stay at home, clean, raise the children; without having to get off her fat Christian ass who finally found a man to take care of her so she doesn't have to work for a bed to sleep on?

    Let me ask; this dumbshit claims that women who work are more likely to cheat, but are we forgetting about housewives who don't see their husbands all day long?

    Please. Get real, the statistics are bullshit.

    ROFL, Z! I can only imagine the woman you'll ultimately marry. She'll be all Xena n'shit.

    I actually found the guy's argument rather compelling. He used statistical evidence to back up his claims whereas the woman used herself as an example to speak for all career women. Unfortunately, she represents the few instead of the norm. The statistics speak for themselves.

    Sure, the statistics speak for themselves--but how are these recorded? Easy for all 100% of students to pass a test when there was only 2 students taking it. Easy as hell to be in the top 10 of your class when there are only 8 people in it.

    "Yeah maw-****a I'm 3rd in my class rank...." <--- LO!L!OL!!LO!O!

    I found that to be pretty boring really. I agree with Zath, how are these statistics recorded?
    To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering, one must not love; but then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer, to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love; to be happy then is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy; therefore to be unhappy one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness. I hope you're getting this down.

    She'll be energetic enough to clean the pool all by herself.

    Damn straight. Not only do I get all six of your virginities, but I get your first-born child.


    ...Considering I'll most likely be the father, it makes sense.

    They are recorded quite accuratly, however, if you take a look at the statistical data from the journal, it tests for only 800 couples!!! Is 800 couples enough to accuratly conclude this type of statement???

    Furthermore.. when I was reading though the article, I couldn't help but think.. Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey???

    800 isn't enough. I don't think anyway. Also what country? etc etc etc. I found it to be boring, that's all.

    Ok ok Zath.
