by a friend of mine about primal instincts: kinuha ko to lynn…
attraction as a function of smell and not looks
hard to believe huh? everyone has a specific set of immunities to diseases. you might have immunity to anemia (just an example) while i won’t have the same immunity. as humans, we have this primal instinct to produce the ‘best baby’ possible, we tend to look for people who have a different set of immunities than us. this is to ensure that our baby gets the best of both worlds. and how do we do this? somehow our body achieves this by scents we give off and our sense of smell. they did a live test and it was proven that the girls’ natural scents that the man was most attracted to were the girls who had no immunities similar to his. so that can somehow explain why we get attracted to people who are, ummm… not pleasing to look at.
… and onto men’s natural compensation against adulterous women
their natural compensation? bigger balls (scientifically known as testes). the male testes is - believe it or not - bigger than a gorilla’s, but smaller than a chimpanzee’s. scientific explanation? in societies where the male is very dominant, the male does not have to worry about the females committing adultery (read: i will beat you to a bloody pulp if i see you with another man), hence the gorilla only has to have a ‘little’ supply of sperms in order to ensure he’ll have offsprings. while in the chimp society, the females are notorious for sleeping around (read: my wife is not at home today. it’s monday so you can find her at ted’s place.) and it is widely accepted. the male chimps compensate for this by having a ‘bigger’ supply of sperms so that they can sleep around as well in order to ensure they will have offsprings. and human society? well we’re in the middle. (read: i don’t care if you sleep with other men, i’ve been sleeping with other women too anyway.). the higher the faithfulness of the women in that society, the smaller the balls. hmm…
