Natural Selection

Post Reply New Topic

Ok I'm not going to pretend that I know much about this, (because obviously I don't) so I'm going to try to explain this the best way I can.

Natural Selection is theory of genetics playing a part in an individual being able to survive, adapt, thrive, reproduce, etc with more success than others.

Charles Darwin came up with this theory. (people obviously know that lol)

Basically people are born naturally superior to other people. (looks, talents skills, smarts, etc) If you don't have at least some of those qualities and can't survive, and or adapt, you get "weeded out" as they say. (in everything; dating, jobs, friends, etc) Basically survival of the fittest.

I'm trying to word this the best way I can and I know I sound like an idiot, but please, bare with me.

How this ties into love & dating is that most decent-looking women go for the men that are "fit". By that I mean men that have some (most) of these qualities; good looks, smarts, charismatic, strong-minded, educated, mentally tough, financially stable. Have these qualities also shows that men are able to (or already are) survive and thrive in their environments, (dating, school, work, life in general) things I guess women are instinctively attracted to.


I think this supports my past saying that I had been destined to end up the way am today when I was born. As I lack any qualities that would allow me to thrive in anything.

I'm not good looking, smart, charismatic, or mentally tough. I don't have an education, (dropped out in ninth, while in special ed) I'm poor, slow, and my social skills aren't that great. I can barely bathe and take care of myself. Surviving and adapting is a lost concept to me. As a result I'm 25 and I haven't had so much as a phone number from a girl/women that I was interested in.


I think I already may have been "weeded" out. I spend my days now as a depressed, lonely, bitter, and suicidal hermit who does nothing but play video games and watch anime and porn. No friends, dates, job, and I'll probably end up homeless after my grandma dies. (If I don't die from suicide first)

I know that the effects of natural selection are discriminatory. I think that one common theme among several posts is people (aspies and nts) saying that confidence does wonders. With confidence, one can succeed better than before. Don't over think things because your past isn't what is "should" be. Make your future what you want it to be. You're obviously not as stupid as you say you are, otherwise your post wouldn't have been coherent.


Aside from that, with confidence comes girls. They might not be what you want them to be, especially if you're use to seeing porn stars, but be content with the girls this world gives you.

Absolute rubbish, another excuse to simply not try because you feel you're predetermined or predestined to feel inadequate or unworthy. You're basically selling yourself short and reinforcing all the negative traits you've already told yourself a thousand times so it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy, you've assimilated to the point where you've lost your self worth.

Stop feeling sorry for yourself, stop listening to people who are negative, stop letting them define your worth or sense of self identity and have some fight in who you are.

There's no Natural Selection, there's just a list of species that Chuck Norris allows to live.

He's got a good point

@MR20

Ria is right, the past doesn't matter. Your future is what you make it, start now, start doing and heading for the goal you want to reach. You're not too old, it's not beyond your grasp.

neither my sister nor I will will breed its true for some aspies

goodbye family line of aspergers

Hello world of smiling sycophantic two faced suck ups

well 2/3 of america is overweight, so i don't really think its survival of the fittest anymore.

Those who can survive the heart-attack burgers till procreation in America are certainly the fittest in the urban jungles there.

America is polluted, the foods do not nourish the people
China heads in the same direction, health and vitality compromised by industrialisation and commercialisation of foods
All the nations copy the dominant cultures

All nations, empires, families...fade.... crash and burn.... under their own weight. Even long term behemoths like China will finally succumb as the poisons spread through dynasties

Die in peace degenerated lineage.... a fruit tree will only bear fruit for so long before dying

Nothing lasts forever

Is a peacock whose tail feathers fall out due to a genetic condition inherently inferior? Or just inferior when it comes to crazy bird-dancing rituals that involve tail feathers?

Perhaps it was just a joke but it's the most biologically accurate post in the thread.

That, and because Chuck Norris doesn't kill good Americans.

I can see where MR20 is coming from - we all have been given a certain set of cards to begin with. However i don't think it's as black and white as plain old natural selection or MXH's video, not in a human society at least. For example, an uber-confident guy that dates different girls each week might find themselves in financial hardship at some point; especially if they have ten child support payments leaving their bank account each month! Also, if they are just..

then that's fine; but if they posses zero parenting skills (along with the people they reproduced with) they could end up creating a family that destroys itself or even them.

The criteria to survive in our society is much more complicated than that of the animal kingdom. It's at this point the Darwen stuff and all the Alpha / Beta male nonsense falls on its arse. What I say to MR20 is just to stay positive and make the most of what's around him. For example, if 90% of his opening posts were included in a public blog, I'm sure he'd get zillions of hits and replies, who knows what that could lead to
