That's funny. I'm talking about 30-year old attorneys in New York City thinking this way. I don't think it's a function of age. I do think it is, however, a function of living in Manhattan or any other big city where people are allowed to pursue their base instincts with very little social consequence.

This could be Atlanta too.

Nope. Women are hella competitive at pretty much all ages. Most love the feeling of defeating other women for the prize studs.

Not all women are like this. But I'd wager most are. If their behavior changes, it's only usually by force of circumstance. In other words, they are no longer young enough or attractive enough to compete against the younger women who are also chasing the prize hunks.

And then they b*tch and moan when they don't get him. This was the best part about working with mostly women. I didn't have to do anything. Didn't matter if it was the 50 year old manager, the overweight girl, or whoever. When you're a physically attractive guy, it's amazing what women will do. I didn't have to do anything. I didn't go out of my way to talk to anyone, wasn't overly friendly, and they still loved me.

Yep LOL it sounds a little crazy. I guess for some women it is the way they operate, though. Look at Hefner. Even if he had a thousand blond, busty women crazy-glued to his old, saggy, wrinkled butt, I doubt I would find him attractive.

If I were starving and needed to pay my rent...maybe. LOL But you may also have a thing about us non "hot" women. I may just be already used to working for a living etc, and not as likely to try to run after a guy in some sort of competition. Perhaps if the risk/reward ratio were different I'd be more likely to swarm a "hot" LOL guy.

Here comes this chick again...if she got her gap teeth fixed she'd be alright. She's serviceable, though. Hold on...who is that chick over there? Daaamn! Let me move in for closer examination. Alright, her hair is long and silky. Damn!!! What about her body? Ooh, she's got it in all the right places! But hold on, I gotta see the grill. Wow! This chick could be a toothpaste model!! She's hot. As Joey Lawrence would say, "WHOA!" She probably dates a basketball player. Or a lawyer. No way she's going for a regular guy. Definitely some dude with money or a Porsche or something like that. I'm just going to sit back and stare at her from afar and wait for Dwight Howard to come claim his woman. I'm not in the mood for humiliation in front of all these people right now. And what if her man really is Dwight Howard? Have you seen his muscles? He'd kill me! Yeah, I'm just going to stand right here against the wall. It's safer here."

What likely goes through the average woman's mind:

"Where are all of the men? There are none here at all. Okay, there's this creepy guy to my left. Don't approach me. Pleease don't approach me. Damn, he's coming this way! Just avoid eye contact. Give monosyllabic responses. Wait, hold on. Who's that guy over there? He's the only guy in the room above 6'2 AND he's cute. Let me get in his line of sight. Alright, I know he can see me, but he hasn't come over here yet. In fact, he's just standing by the punch bowl not talking to anyone. And he came here by himself. He must be lame. Oh, but there's the host of the party. What? He just walked right past me to talk to that heffa!?! She's not even as cute as me! But wait, who's that? That girl is gorgeous. And she just gave him a peck on the cheek. There's another girl who just walked up. She's pretty, too. And another pretty girl just walked up. Hmm...there must be something about him. He's not that tall and he's not really cute, but there's something about him. He seems to know everbody. And everybody seems to want to be around him. He seems so confident. I can feel his swagger all the way on the other side of the room! He's working the room so effortlessly. But he has so many pretty girls interested in him. How could I compete? Wait! OMG!!! OMG!!! He's walking this way! He's making eye contact! He just said "Hey" to me. OMG, he just asked for my number. Boooom! Take that b*tches!!!! May the best woman win!!! This guy is SOOOOO hot!!!!"
Both characters here are definitely lost. Neither one knows how to think or how to feel.

These are standardized kids today?

No wonder why nobody is finding permanent romance and spouses any more.

I don't know what you see

But her nose, lips and facial features all seem surgically rectified to me, to enhance her appeal, which is not there in the first place.

On acting, she can play a hooker in every movie and even walk away with an oscar each time, coz that's how her mannerisms and expressions come across. There is a total lack of inborn expression and acting ability, it all appears staged and fake.

If I were forced to choose at gun point between Megan Faux and a DDDecepticon, I'll choose the later in a heartbeat

That apart, I was flipping through channels last night and there was reality show with Heidi Montag in it. Actually, I didn't know it was her, she was in a posse of women who seemed like their lips were stuffed with jelly or something. I remember seeing Heidi three years ago while flipping through the channels, I saw a different person She looks scary now, wonder what surgery she did to herself

These were "standardized" adults of the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s, too. Human nature has always been what it is. You'd obviously be surprised to learn about the freaky thngs grandma and grandpa used to do before your mom/dad was a twinkle in their eye. I mean, do you really think that chicks getting knocked up and having abortions is something that just started in 2001?

Grandma had all the same thoughts and impulses her granddaughter has in 2011. But grandma had social pressure, inferior contraceptive, and likely a smaller, tightly-knit community to keep those impulses in check. Fast forward 60 years later where granddaughters from all over America move to big cities and live in virtual anonymity. She's free to **** it up in a way her grandmother never could.

Same goes for guys. Social expectations and crappy condoms put a check on just how many women you could have. But no more! Today, men (alpha males) from Manhattan to Los Angeles have harems of young, attractive and fertile women.

You can scoff and say: "Well, that's just downright immature and shows unevolved, primitive thinking" yada yada. But the truth is that we are all subject to the same biomechanical overlord, whether we want to believe it or not. And if a man has the option of having 50 women, he's going to take them. Why not? As the girl on one of those ridiculous reality shows said: "Who's gonna check me, boo?"
