Unsought Input

Oh, and it makes them live longer.  Today’s headline article on Yahoo states that hard working scientists over there at lifescience.com are boasting that old men should be marrying and having children with younger women.  They say that it would be beneficial for the entire species!  I have a hypothesis of my own: the researchers are old men, wondering how to get beautiful young girls to sleep with them since they were not stinking rich like Hugh Hefner.  Because, let’s face it, non of those bleach blond airheads are at the playboy ranch because they find Hugh attractive.  If you disagree, you are a man above the age of 55.  Maybe one of these researchers?

Either way, the article goes on to say something about Darwin, I really don’t think that they know much about Darwin, they just mention him in passing.  And then, folks, it advocates killing women genetically after menopause.  Oh, so old guys are soooooooo much better?  Oh, yes, cause as a young woman I would totally love to be getting it from someone my grandpa’s age?  No.  That is gross.  I know I will be that old eventually.  I will wait till I get there.  I don’t want to be arm candy just so like a hundred years from now our overpopulation problem will suck even more because there will be people who live into their 100’s more often.  Anyway, if you don’t believe me that the people over at lifescience.com don’t want to kill women after menopause, let me just quote them here as saying:

women who can no longer reproduce are non-players, and since “it takes two,” men partnered with menopausal women are also irrelevant.Following that idea, natural selection should select for harmful mutations that impact women after menopause. Over time, the discriminating genes would accumulate in the population causing what evolutionary biologist William Hamilton called the “wall of death,” in which mortality of women spikes at the onset of menopause.

Ha!  Try to kill me with my own genetics, will you?  Why is it that women live longer then men!  Irrelevant my butt.  Anyway, let’s move on to the next obvious point quoted in this article:

But why do men choose younger mates and females prefer older men?

Um?  Duh?  Because older men tend to have savings (at least these girls hope so) and so these girls hope to be wealthy beyond their wildest dreams without working a day in their lives and cutting his children and grandchildren (her step grandchildren) out of the will with only a minimal time investment.  Also, these guys are in the hospital most of the time anyway so the idea is that no one will catch her fooling around with the cliche hot pool boy.

One last quote and I will try to leave this train wreck in peace.

So the benefits of “age-defying” couples go both ways. Plus, the human species gets a boost.

Unless you are the woman in this situation of now.  Who cares if your kids or your kid’s kids will live longer.  You want to live longer.  And old men, well, sometimes they are just to grumpy and old to really want to hop in the sack with.  I dunno, I guess you just gotta be the right type of girl.  Either blind or incredibly selfish.
