Captain of The English Soccer team is stripped of captaincy because he has cheated on his wife. But, isn't that the nature of powerful men, and isn't that the reason why they acquire power and money in first place.

Ten Politically Incorrect Truths About Human Nature


"As a result, powerful men of high status throughout human history attained very high reproductive success, leaving a large number of offspring (legitimate and otherwise), while countless poor men died mateless and childless. Moulay Ismail the Bloodthirsty, the last Sharifian emperor of Morocco, stands out quantitatively, having left more offspring—1,042—than anyone else on record, but he was by no means qualitatively different from other powerful men, like Bill Clinton."

"The question many asked in 1998—"Why on earth would the most powerful man in the world jeopardize his job for an affair with a young woman?"—is, from a Darwinian perspective, a silly one. Betzig's answer would be: "Why not?" Men strive to attain political power, consciously or unconsciously, in order to have reproductive access to a larger number of women. Reproductive access to women is the goal, political office but one means. To ask why the President of the United States would have a sexual encounter with a young woman is like asking why someone who worked very hard to earn a large sum of money would then spend it."

Why? Because some men think with the wrong head.

I think Terry lost his job because the boss thought it didn't make him a very good role model for young fans, which is fair enough.

Why aren't there loads of women hankering after Gordon Brown, then? :lol:

This artificial conditioning cannot work, even with the best role modal.

It is like breading dogs to be savage and uncontrollable while training them to be a guide dog for the blind. The best trainers will fail

Why is human psychology always compared to that of dogs (or more often, wolves)? The whole "one alpha male gets all the ladies while the rest of the males get nothing" might work for a pack of wolves, but humans are decidedly not wolves.

We are not monogamous penguins either. What we learn from biology is that animals adapt to their environment Human also follow those rules. What we share with wolves is also shared with other mammals. When we analyse human the rules are not thrown out of the window and replaced by politics or religion.

Sounds like the exact thing Tiger Woods is going through right now.

And I didn't think he was the type.

Whether he is a force for good or a force fore evil, it is the fact that he is a powerful man that makes him or attractive then he would be otherwise.

Depends, there's the type of woman that goes for the $$$$$ and then there's the type that judges a man by his looks and character.

Take Donald Trump for example and the woman he's married to. Ugh...I think I'd rather clean toilets than sleep with a guy old enough to be my dad with a clowny toupe over his head.... :x

As I said, despite his power and authority I don't see many women hankering after him. He clearly isn't anywhere near as attractive to women as you think he ought to be.

I used to be a huge fan of Tiger Woods.
No longer.

I see it more often compared to that of bonobo chimps, usually with the tone that this is a state to which we should aspire.
