Lol funny. At the same time....its frustating..especially when you're in love. Wish I never met my dual but at the same time I'm glad I did.

Either guys or girls can initiate interest. In today's culture, I still feel there's an emphasis on guys initiating, but in other cultures throughout time, sometimes girls had initiated. Typically extroverts initiate, but introverts can as well.

I've always felt more comfortable as the initiator. And there are a lot of guys out there who prefer that the woman initiate! I'm not disagreeing with what you said, but rather suggesting that women initiate if they so desire.

After the relationship has started, guys should definitely pursue the girl. Deep down, guys like fighting and rescuing the maiden in distress, and girls like to be captivating and fought for.

I've heard that biologically, men are most likely to commit to a woman if they feel they are protecting her from something. I tend to suspect that this is slowly being bred out of our species though, at least in technologically advanced cultures.

for 99.99% of our existence, we were hunter-gatherers who lived in bands and foraged in small groups for food. Agriculture is a very recent development, and more advanced technology more so. It's going to be a long time before these ingrained behaviors are bred out of us, especially since some of them have been present even before we were Homo sapiens.

It's better to say that maybe culture is evolving to counteract that. Like how, in the majority of western cultures, skinny women are preferred over "curvy" women because culture says so, despite the curvy women being more fertile and healthy and likely to survive childbirth and etc. than stick models.

Depends on the concentration of the gene pool. Take silicone valley, for instance.

Advances in medicine fix that problem.

I love your mind. This is one of the most intelligent, thought-provoking posts I have seen on this forum in a while. You win chocolate cookies!

Because chocolate chip cookies create unintended curviness, perhaps you could say culture hasn't completely evolved?

We're evolved to enjoy sweets because it has a LOT of energy and used to be rare so we would want it really badly when we had the chance to have it (in fruits, usually).

Advances in medicine fix that problem.

Advances in medicine fix a lot of problems, but it doesn't change what millions of years of evolution have hardwired into us. Outside of the West, the curvier women are still seen in most places as being the most attractive. I hear we're supposed to blame Twiggy? idk
