- The Lysistrata is a nice idea, but it too, is doomed to failure.

- I think it is important to define what “submissiveness” is (God, I dislike that word) otherwise we’ll rub people the wrong way unnecessarily.
- “inclined or ready to submit; unresistingly or humbly obedient”
- Why is it that you dislike that word so much? Am I correct in guessing that you pride yourself on never being obedient to a man?

- Wow, it has been awhile! Good to see you.
- I will not marry a woman who has given that away to other men. Period. She will not get the benefit of me comforting her when she is old, because she ignored me while I was young.
- And I see that nothing has changed… :)
- I get this, but I would point out that a full quarter of both males and females graduate college as virgins. Most of the men would wish it otherwise, but most of the women have clearly made a choice to abstain. They have neither occasional hookups nor an LTR.
- 25% of a population is a very significant number. Why are these women invisible to you?

- @Susan…
- This is what has been lost perhaps. The idea that you figure out your place, and then select from people in the same range. We did not “settle” – the butterflies were real. I think we wanted relationships, we wanted to date, we wanted to fall in love with someone, and we wanted to have sex. We found the best in people we were well matched to and we made that happen.
- …Or as my grandmother used to say: “For every crooked pot there’s a crooked lid.” We fall find our match–and are happy about it. The 4′s find the 4′s the 9′s find the 9′s.
- It was a wonderful time, yes. But it’s indeed lost. More specifically, the fundamentals required for assortive mating are now lost. And the genie just can’t be put back in the bottle. All those “crooked pots” (female 4′s) that were previously content with their “crooked-lid” counterparts (male 4′s) can now all mate with the alpha males (the 9′s).
