A Short History Of Sexual Relationships

My friend once told met that baseball was in the bible. I said, "What?" And he opened the book of genesis to prove it to me. "In the big inning... " Yuck Yuck.

But if you truly want to understand the nature of male female relationships, you've got to go back a ways. Most people long for the "good old days" when men were men, and women were women, but it's easy to look at history with rose colored glasses.

When we were caveman, there was a sexual division of labor. This is one of the reasons that the human species quickly dominated the planet. We could live in pretty much environment. When you look at every other animal, the male and female always find the same kind of food. Male and female birds find worms, male and female tigers eat zebras, etc.

But humans were different. Men went out looking for protein, while women stayed "home" and dug up roots and berries. That way, they could live in pretty much any environment. Sure, sometimes they didn't get much protein, and other times they didn't get much fruit or veggies, but we always seemed to survive. This is when the idea of a life long male-female relationship took "root." (Get it?)

The next big change was the agricultural revolution. Instead of chasing our food, we could grow it. Since by then, we had a deep desire programmed into us to pair bond, this helped us out. Both men and women worked on the farm, or wherever, and created "wealth."

The next big change was the industrial revolution. This lead to an explosion of wealth. In the beginning, both men and women worked. But later on, less and less women actually needed to work. Men actually felt proud to say that his wife "didn't need to work." Now, at this point, most wives happily went along with this, because working in a factory all day pretty much sucked. It was hard, and dangerous.

Most women, given a chance, would must prefer to be a "housewife" than spend all day driving rivets or something.

Then the information age hit us. Suddenly it work became easier. We could make some decent money sitting at a desk all day. And this, coincidentally (or not) coincided with the "feminists" movement.

Now, women could work, and earn just as much money (or close to it) as men. One thing that kept families together was religion. Up until this point, many people were religious, and even if a woman was a hard core "women's libber" that meant that she wasn't a housewife. She still was a member of a traditional family, but she was still a "breadwinner"

It's important to realize that this was the same model as back in the caveman days. Both men and women worked all day to create wealth.

Nowadays, things are changing. Religion is less important, and it's more and more socially acceptable to be single parents.

What does this mean if you're a guy, and you're looking to create a happy relationship?

It means that there is very little "obligation" on the part of women to get into and stay in a relationship. Up until recently, this obligation always existed.

No more.

If you want to get and keep an attractive woman, you simply cannot rely on obligation. If you find yourself thinking in terms of "shoulds" you've already lost. If you think women "should" be loyal, you'll be disappointed.

The ONLY way to keep a woman interested in you, and in a relationship with you, is to ALWAYS maintain attraction.
