Biology tells women to go for promiscuous men, society tells them not to (global warming, percentage)

First of all, how do you quantify what "biology" tells women to be attracted to? Is there an actual test to legitimately group ALL women to want certain 'alpha' traits? Or is this just a social-misconception?
Because we are all individuals, ya know. Biological sounds like such a huge claim to make without sufficient evidence. And no, I personally would not want to be with someone who is a huge creep on the streets.
Evolution would suggest people want monogamous mates in order to rear children in healthy environments and to prevent STIs. But, you'll hear so many different arguments about it since these debates have an underlying, inherent social-political bias.
Not at all. Even though we have personalities certain psychological laws are universal. The same with biology. It doesn't make exceptions. Maybe for gays?
Anyway biology tells you to mate and find a mate with best gene set available and then somebody to provide for your offspring - not necessarily the same person which is evident when you see thr diviorce rates nowadays. Then the cycle repeats.
That's when you are a women.
If you are a man our biology tells us to mate with best available gene set of which definition changes from century to century.
Of course as humans we all rationalise our subconscious choices and have a incredible ability to deny our needs (denial) or sublimate them. Men usually sublimate their needs to mate with many partners to aggression (wars) or a career (workoholics). Women buy clothes for the same reason.
Best story I know of: a chick in undergrad, a 9, was waiting it out in college, engaged to her studious, slightly older fiance, about a 6, who was done with school.
While engaged during college, she was having sex with one of the more popular fraternity guys. While a new mom just after college, she was having sex with surfers on the street while the kids were in cribs and her husband was at work.
Alpha > Beta
I knew her during high school, actually, and she was very attractive. However, despite finding it impossible to respect her, her "stories" were always interesting, to say the least, and she was an "open book."

First of all it's not "a women". It's either women, several women, many women or it's a woman. "A" does not go before a plural. "A" always precedes "woman", never women. College or no, any person that can write should understand this and it's a constant on this forum and it's not a typo. Second, I don't think you or any other guy in this thread has ever studied biology, genetics, or psychology to offer up crack pot evo-psych let alone a reasonable evo-psych hypothesis (there are no theories in evo-psych).
But prey tell, which specific genes are you speaking of, on which locus, that result in what phenotypes due to what environmental pressures? Let's see the low down on the actual biology here. Given that none of you have the wherewithal to begin to explain what biology even means I'm not sure how you guys are subsequently in a position to state which women want what guy and when due to physiology. And really, there are no reasons to guess. The data is collected regularly and published in census and various journals.
Biology does say to go after the promiscuous men. However, biology does not take into account human nature. I feel that in this society saying that women should go after a better man that than that has alot to do with the Christian faith, which I feel addresses human nature. Humans and animals have biology. That is a given. However, we humans have the ability to think for ourselves, on a much higher level. We live to do more than just reproduce. For animals, reproduction is about increasing numbers. For human beings, I feel it is about more than extending the human race. It is about passing on something valuable. We humans might be wired to go with what biology says. However, we humans can also think for ourselves, which can supercede biology. Looking beyond our human nature helps too. Biology can say "be promiscuous" and spread your seed around. Human nature can say "be promiscuous and have a good time". Going higher and putting human nature aside says "be faithful, one man for one woman". That is just the way I see it.

We observe. We see thousands of good looking women throwing themselves on pop and sports stars knowing very well how promiscuous they are and we learn.

I can't rep this post enough.
You guys should google, 'ask an anonymous PR guy'. It's a current PR rep for several athletes and he answers questions, mostly about athletes and females.

We observe. You're reminding me of Golem (lord of the rings) and precious. But, so what if you observe <.0001% of the female global population throwing themselves at pop and sports stars. There are billions of women on this planet and a million trips that go with it. There are thousands of good looking men who are homosexual. Does that mean all men are homosexuals? There are thousands of good looking men (and women) in prison, on drugs, living in their mother's basements, curing cancer, creating art, getting married and having kids, stealing, beating, praying to their Gods, volunteering, etc. A certain kind of woman goes for one of these sport guys or pop misogynistic rappers. If that's the kind of woman you are attracted to and want I'm not sure why you are going to complain about who they are.
Do yourself a favor and go here next year (2012 is happening as we speak right now. As we waste precious time, these people are living). There are lots of pretty girls, lots of sex, and no pop stars. If anybody needs it, it's you people.
