Blonds have more fun even way back

Cavemen preferred blonds. From ABC:

March 2, 2006 -- Back in the ice age, Northern European cavemen got all the chicks.

Thanks to a food shortage and a man shortage about 10,000 years ago, men were in such demand they had their pick of mates.

With so much competition among women to find a mate, nature and evolution kicked in to give some cave women a distinctive look to attract the opposite sex: blond hair and blue eyes.

So says a new study published in the British science journal Evolution and Human Behavior.

Are Blondes Mutants?

The study's author, Canadian anthropologist Peter Frost, concludes that although blond hair and blue eyes started as a genetic mutation, men were pulled in by the golden locks and baby blues, thus populating the area with blond and blue-eyed children.

While the rest of the world has predominantly brown hair and brown eyes, Northern Europeans have the greatest variety of hair and eye color found anywhere, and Frost believes it resulted from the sexual appeal of these traits.

"When an individual is faced with potential mates of equal value, it will tend to select the one that 'stands out from the crowd,' the study said.

Still, the study admits it's unclear why the mutation happened in Europe and not elsewhere.

The theory is backed by several other studies, including one conducted in Japan that found that the gene responsible for blond hair appeared for the first time about 11,000 years ago.

The Grass Is Always Greener

Though a caveman bachelor may have had no problem finding a date for Saturday night, his existence was far from ideal.

According to the study, men of the time were forced to go on long hunting expeditions over vast areas to find their prey.

With no means to preserve food for the journey, an unforgiving ecosystem and the risks presented by the hunt itself, some men never made it back.

The ones who did were highly sought after.

To add to the difficulties, women weren't really equipped to gather food and the arctic environment didn't allow for opportunities close to home. Frost argues that if a woman wanted to eat, she needed a man.

Women had to attract men to survive.

Frost concluded that Mother Nature answered the call by introducing hair and eye colors — like the more than seven distinct colors found in Northern and eastern Europe today.

If he is correct, it appears that even 10,000 years ago, blondes had more fun.

Lucky today if a woman wants to eat we DON'T need a man. We just need them to do the dishes... oh and for sex too of course.

the nice thing about modern ages is now men don't even have to be nice to a woman to have sex

hooray for the internet, and internet sluts

no way tikker.. they still have to be nice even to the internet sluts to get anywhere
Is it really that much easier for guys today? I would think you would at least have to initiate with some sweet talk first even if it isn't sincere.

Most chicks want nothing to do with a nice guy - we've had this conversation before. For most women it's all about the look, wallet size and sense of humor (in that order) - being treated right takes a back seat to impressing their jealous friends.

Bullshit. Not in the 30 something age group. Total different story.

Diekan you keep saying that. All men care about is breasts, how easily her legs spread and if she will cook your dinners, clean your house, and not bother you during a sports game unless it is to give you oral sex.

Ah Stacy, but sluts rarely marry

We're not as big of sluts as we thought

Gid is really good looking to me (and my ex's new boyfriend), he isnt rich by any means, and sometimes, his humor is just not syched up with mine.
BUT he treats me very well and always had, even before I met him. The devilish good looks was just a huuuge bonus. Means I could wake up in the morning and not be startled by the mass laying next to me.

Yeah kizzy, that's about right for the total package. Difference is we aren't coy and deceitful about what we want.

Actually, you're partly right. I care about what shape she's in. I like a nice round ass. However, I don't care if she cooks or not, nor do I need her to clean up my place. And, if she puts out easily, I'm not interested in getting "serious" with her. Through my observations and experiences - women who give it up on the first date, or just as a one nighter - usually cheat their asses off in relationship.

Anyway, the difference is - just as Minrott said - men don't try to mask what they really want. Yep, I like a nice ass - and yes I've met some very nice and sweet women who I wouldn't date because they were to heavy for my taste. Like most men, I freely admit that - but most women STILL sing the ole bullshit song about "nice guys who treat them right."

It's old, it's played out and quite frankly we men don't know why you women still play that card - we know it's bullshit, and by now you women have to know that we know it's a crock.

Diek.. hate to break it to you, but you're not a 'nice guy.'

Not sure where you get your logic from, considering you don't have firsthand experience (from what I've known of you, anyway)

There's some truth in your logic, but it's a fine line that I think you tread on the wrong side on - women (speaking for myself only as I'm definitely not all women) don't want pushover ninnies who won't get off their ass - I certainly don't want a cockface who treats me badly, though.

From what you've known of him doesn't mean a thing. Maybe less than that because everyone goes a little overboard on the NT. You don't know he wasn't the nicest sweetiest most romantic doormat in the history of the world, until he got his heart broke that one last time and decided to join what looks to be the winning team. Women are so fickle they make cats look steadfast and opinionated. What you consider to be a nice guy today, you think is a doormat tomorrow. And when that assertive somewhat cocky piece of studjerky catches you on the rag or after you've finished Oprah for the day, he's a no good cockface.

Women need to get overthemselves and realize men aren't being who they are for your entertainment any more. You pushed the femnazi bullshit too far, and we're not going to be a generation of men raised by women anymore.
