The point is that in paleo times most men held (or were able to procure) valuable material resources, not just a few or some men as in today´s capitalistic or class societies. If many or most men hold valuable material resources, women do have a broad choice between different men and therefore enjoy a fair amount of freedom in their choice (meaning they don´t have to look predominantly for material resources when it comes to mating, because almost every man is able to procure the material resources necessary for his children to survive and get a strong social position in their tribe). I would bet that there was much more social equality in paleo times than there is in today´s western societies. Just look at HGs!

What gives you this idea? In my parents´, grandparents´ etc. generations, almost every man had at least two children.

but women also appreciate to be loved and want to feel that their potential partner cares for them, so I don´t think that few men would get all the sex.
Regarding money / rich men, there will never be true sexual freedom for women if few men have all the money and women have to prostitute themselves for these rich men simply to survive or be able to feed their children (as seems to be the case in the Phillipines).

I have watched a few of his movies, Bowling For Columbine, fahrenheit 911, and Sicko.

There is truth in what he says and also a certain amount of liberal style dishonestly. He is so good at his craft that he makes a great story.

However the right in the US has expended a great amount of energy attacking Michael because he exposes their weakness for money and corruption in an elegant and hilarious fashion..

I agree with Sabertooth about the whole system being rotten to the core, but from the strict point of view of the average citizen who has swallowed the allopathic Kool-Aid whole, MM is correct. The Canadian system is free if you want drugs and slice and dice and I do not agree with that because there is no incentive to take care of yourself.

I know of only one person who goes to the US for healthcare and he happens to have a company which has a large branch in the US and he gets his insurance through them and he uses his company aircraft to fly him to a US clinic. He just believes he is getting better care. I know of a number of ways to have prevented his illness, but he has bought the Allopathic Kool-Aid. He's probably worth 100 mil.

I travel to the US periodically and it is hilarious listening to the people there who truly have swallowed the Kool-Aid that they have a superior medical system and that there are line-ups for months to see a Doctor in Canada. That is BS.

My 90 year old mother had eye surgery. No line-up. I went for my pilot medical and got a prescription for a blood test, ECG. Total waiting time at the drop-in clinics was maybe ten minutes. Cost - zero. Return trip for the results - zero. No arguing with HMOs or discussing with the 'Department of Exclusions.'

Thanks Wodg.

Do you mean that you would be open to having more than one partner as long as it wasn't her or do you mean that she wouldn't want to have another partner involved?

Are you still with this woman?

Having place and work settled is important. Like what GS was talking about - Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Hard to really think too much about general societal trends or even others much when you don't have your own basic needs of shelter, food and safety handled.

With that set, do you feel like you're ready to start letting down some of the barriers yet?

I heavily disagree. I have never found raw, grain-finished to be any good. It's "less worse" than fully grainfed meats but that's all. Read this article for further info re this:-

http://donmatesz.blogspot.co.at/2011/01/practically-primal-guide-to_21.html

In the UK, I have found raw wild game to be far cheaper(eg:-  a whole raw wild hare carcass for 13 pounds sterling, which lasts me 2-3 days) and raw, grassfed meats are cheap provided I only buy raw organ-meats(which I anyway prefer) or raw grassfed minced meat. In Austria I cannot get hold of raw organ meats of suitable quality and the raw wild game is pretty expensive(but far more exotic, such as raw moufflon, raw wild boar etc.) but I stick to c.700g of raw meat a day and that still only costs me c.82 euros a week.

Standard tips on reducing costs for all members who want to save cash:-

1) When buying raw grassfed meats only buy raw organ-meats or raw, minced meats. Buying raw grassfed fillet or rump steak is sheer madness, and utterly pointless  - I actually find the cheapest cuts of meat to be more nutritious, not less. I've known many farmers give some of the raw organ-meats to me for free since I also buy some of their raw muscle-meats as well, and no one else wants the organ-meats, because they're stupid and brainwashed.

2) Buy raw wild game if possible as it's (often but not always) cheaper. If you have a hunter/farmer friend you could even get wild game carcasses for free.

3) Go in for Intermittent Fasting(only 1 large meal a day, eaten within 4 hours):-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermittent_fasting

Trust me, you'll feel better if you do the above rather than following Aajonus's foolish advice to eat dozens of tiny small meals throughout the day. The less stress you put on the body re digestion, the more energy/effort the body can divert away towards healing.

4) If you're near the coast,  some of the raw seafood should be very cheap. You still have to be selective - I mean, raw lobster, raw scallops and raw wildcaught salmon will still be too expensive, while raw mussels, raw crabs, raw sardines and raw sprats/mackerels etc. should be dirt-cheap.


5) Re fats:- Raw organ-meats like raw marrow, raw tongue, raw brains, raw suet are mostly or wholly fat.

6) There are online groups which cater to those pet-owners who want to feed their pets on a high-quality raw(prey-model) diet. I know that US farms like Slanker's sell pet-grade food which people like Lex find perfectly acceptable for humans, that's a great way to cut down on costs. I'm too much of a snob to have tried that route yet, as I prefer raw wild game to any mere raw  grassfed meats, but I think it's worth a shot.

7) I understand that Australian Aborigines eat raw foods like the live witchetty grub. I don't suppose there's a chance that you could find some specimens and grow them for food? Just an eccentric idea.

Let me help you understand our cultural differences.

- sexless does not mean love less

- marriage means more than just sex.  There's children, there's in laws, there's family and extended family. 

- if she became fat and ugly and unattractive I would still love my wife because I made a commitment to her and my children... and the children need us as parents and grandparents and great grand parents.

- of course if my wife was fat and ugly and unattractive, she wouldn't be such a tease and cause me blue balls every day...

- my philosophy in life is the purpose of life is to make more life, I believe the tradition of a rock solid family and extended family is a good recipe for reproductive success... with bastards on the side... are bonuses and insurances in this game of life. ( as stated in the book Sperm Wars )

- culturally in our culture, mistressing is too common and expected... what is frowned upon are divorces and abandonment, especially those who abandon just because the wife is no longer sexual... that is really really mean and nasty.  Abandoning wife and children may mean starvation and death.

Because there is no government big brother mandating and insuring survival in our country.  There is no government apparatus to enforce child support or give EBT cards to mothers or unemployed in need.  We have to stick together to survive... the old fashioned way... United we stand... divided we fall.

In the big cities there are just too many women because of migration for jobs.  The women have learned to share in good men.  Where a good man at least has a job and some money.... or he has good genes.  Many men are jobless drunkards womanizers.  So get a man who has a job, is not a drunkard, will give child support.  Or hear your biological clock tick away and be childless... a fate many women refuse to accept.

There are 2 types of reproductive women... the #1 wife type... and the mistress types.  The mistress types know their place and are immensely attracted to married, committed men, and know their place and follow the ettiquetes for mistresses book.

Culturally, our Muslim brothers and sisters in our own country and cities are enshrined in law that they can have up to 4 wives and can marry legally beginning 16 years old.  And we can see so much harmony and strength in their families.  They have to be strong because they themselves have to endure tribal / family wars... woe to those with weak families.

Culturally, we love children and family... many here are not in the "me" only divorce culture.

So you find out your man has a mistress?  Welcome to the club where literally all worthy good men have one.

Some men also get by with just prostitution when their wives cannot deliver.   Some #1 wives prefer this.

Ok - You deserve it! Sorry Tyler - but he's making me do it. I'm changing my picture back to Oprah. Or maybe I'll change it to Muriel Siebret! Don't blame me - if y'all don't want to see the face of a powerful/wealthy woman looking at you (no matter what else you think of her) then tell Wodg to stop saying silly things to taunt me.

For those that don't know - to make it on the stock exchange as a women you have to be 100 times better than the men. Siebret is the best of these.
