Growing up, we are taught to think that men are polygamous in nature, they are hirdwired to want as many partners as possible thereby entitled and prone to infidelity. Meanwhile women are hotwired to be monogamous and to have one mate for most of her reproductive career. Are women really monogamous?

Contrary to popular belief, it is unlikely that women are monogamous. In a scientific study, it was found that female primate species were naturally opportunistic , mating with as many males as possible to secure more resources for her and her children and purposely confuse paternity. .This was because females lived longer than males and needed more resources to take care of her offspring, especially as carrying young affects one's productivity.

Nature has made it so that males are to compete for the right to reproduce so that only strong genes make it to the next generation. Billions of sperm compete fiercely to fertilise one egg. But a large responsibility of rearing young lands of the female. Child rearing is capital intensive so both male and females had to adapt. females by poly amory, getting resources from many men, not by monogamy.

Since females were not monogamous, males had to resort to what we call mate-guarding in order to ensure they had reproductive rights to a female and be sure of paternity of her offspring. Mate guarding is the physical guarding of a female in order to deny rival males the opportunity to mate with her and is one of the most commonly used defensive strategies observed in mammals. Take note this is very important because :ALL MALES ARE HARDWIRED TO MATE GUARD.

Some male species like chimpanzees have resorted to abusive tactics to mate guard, but human men have taken it up a notch through the use of misogyny. Let's use romanceland as an example, it is filled with more men than women, more misogynistic men are opening female bashing threads, these are the same men that will later slide into your DMs and when they receive a non favorable response, resort to bashing you online to make you less attractive to other men.

Mate guarding tactics like misogyny, among others,lessens the burden of male mate competition. Why? Because it is easy to bully a woman into submission and cripple her ability to be independent of men in society, than it is to fight off other men. Ever notice how men who beat women can't fight other men? Or reduces his violent frequencies when other men come to her aid and beat him up? Same thing.

Encouraging monogamy and dependence in females, decreases infighting in males and increases infighting in females. Instead of men competing for women, women have to compete for valuable resources from a single valuable male. This role reversal allows men to have the advantage by having ownership a single woman and giving him more time to pursue others instead of fighting off potential rivals. Marriage benefits men a lot more than they want you to believe.

This is why the concept of a 'gold digger' or a 'ho' is demonized by men in society today. It twarts male control over natural opportunitistic female mating patterns.

Ever noticed that 'hoes' and 'golddiggers' end up with successful partners, because these women know how to seize opportunities and trigger the male mate guarding instinct.

hm, it's clicking. This is very interesting...

Glad it is clicking

Magnoliaa:
But both genders compete for the other. I don't just know who do it more.

yes they do, women compete too, but men has had mateguarding advantages for centuries

This is so true, i can relate to this. Lovely article

Firstly, mate guarding is not a gendered phenomenon. It is practiced by both males and females equally. Secondly, a woman may be non-monogamous, or polyamorous as you called it, but this is practiced usually before securing the best male she can attract, as she can only get resources from a single male. For men, it is quantity, for women, it is quality.

As an analogy, men are like Bluetooth, he is connected to you while you're nearby, but searches for other devices when you're away (quantity), meanwhile, women are like wifi, she sees all the available devices but connects to the strongest one (quality).

In your need to bash men, You wrote some of rubbishes, I pointed out the flaws in your writeup, and somehow, in your view, a correction has become misogyny. Typical.

Hmm... Dr Love

liquidfaya:
So Sandra8 resurfaces as Eyeness smh.

Yet still manages to be devoid of sense.

So you decided to drop the MISEDUCATIONS logo

Leave her alone. She's free to express herself any how she deems fit with out you guys attacking her tooth and nail. If it lack sense, spare yourself and your mb the stress by ignoring. Like we do ilekokonit and his likes. That being civil..

Peace isnt a Priviledge to be denied but a Right of all. Let her write, in peace.

Blackivy27:

she'll write. But she must not expect everyone to clap for her. Who is she? Even God has a hater. We all have haters.

She writes like she'd been preparing for war since a very long time...it's more of an attack against a particular gender than an Eye-opener for all

liquidfaya:

Ofcourse. No one can be loved by everyone. But let he have the chance to be either loved or hated.

Blackivy27:

alright. I hear you.

Hmmm.

This table you are shaking........

But it's weird how naturally the population of women is higher than that of men.its naturally assumed that men have more fair share of women than women do with men.

As for those bashing the op,you have data.go ahead and open your thread where u can insult women all u like.shes just simply writing what she thinks

This is false. I am going to assume this is just your opinion though, so it’s not based on facts.

Oga this your hammer no miss road. E hit the nail on the head. Confirm man.

I've booked my space Sha

i am about to shake more tables in the future

i cannot claim responsibility for the way you choose to interpret my writeup

Everybody should learn what agrees with their souls from all these miseducations.

Remember that these OPs are also learning too. Don't base your decisions solely on their write ups.

Don't put sand in your own garri.


Cheers.

Heroclitus:

Of course. You can see how she is in harmony with everyone that agree with her post, but if you constructively challenge her submission, instead of her to respond appropriately, she will either dismiss or call you a misogynist.

Behaviours like these are exactly what will make their write up to not gain the public appeal she want it to. One must be able to defend their stance. Bravery is about how you arrived at your conclusion, not necessary the conclusion in itself.

Nice one Op.

Male do it more.

Magnoliaa:
But both genders compete for the other. I don't just know who do it more.

Modified: So, although I enjoy these writes ups for FYI proposes... I am struggling to find the use for this information other than for the sake of it (Nat geo shows) how do I use it in my day to day life. I don't want multiple partners, and I don't want to guard no man....I appreciate the fact that humanity has travelled from primitive man and woman so they are not my role models.

Still looking forward to part 2

Funmmyastic:
Nice one Op.

Thank you.
I just want to clarify something, i am not Sandra8

Eyeness:
Thank you.
