ok men in history are hunters, women are gatherers....
So, women prefer to go shopping, and GATHER things... because it's our deepest nature. men prefer the hunt.... sports. sports is the telling of a hunt, the men running around chasing the beast, and the finally through teamwork, killing it. Like the men on a court, passing the ball, every man wants the ball, then one finally gets it through the net, killing the beast and everyone celebrates the killer.
isnt it amazing that our truest nature have adapted to society yet we're all like that still SO much later in time? we haven't evolved at all.

Hmmm an interesting psycological assesment. I wouldn't call it a philosophy as such though.

I would expect a lot of disagreement on this.

i agree. i was at a family get together post-funeral today, and everyone was doing what researchers of animals would call, so scientifically, fostering relationships, bonding, or something like that. . .it was so funny watching my mom and aunt wrap up food that one was sharing w/ the other. they were oohing and awwing over the many colors of serran wrap they had. my aunt kept yanking my dreads and patting my head, little kids were clinging onto legs of familiar adults...it looked like a video of some baboon troop, but like we were just wasting our time a lot more. even funnier is when, tripping on shrooms, i saw a game of basketball in person....it looked so pointless and unorganized...just another way to look at the sports thing. a less logical/efficent way of proving worthiness to females, perhaps? sorry this was scattered. i'll blame the new forums. oh, and also sorry about organizing it poorly in the threading. i guess i can't use the linear view like the old forums, because the people who like threading will think i'm retarded. bummer

I don't think you can categorize people like that

I am a man and I dislike sports.

So there goes your theory.

**We_All_Shine_On** · 05-09-2004, 04:53 PM

Beer, women and fast cars.

Oh and poetry.

You were very close to on the mark.

Men hunt women till they catch one and then she
gathers half his money. I've hunted and been
gathered four times. I have experience here.

Male and female is a duality which exists within each of us in addition to our physical gender. While we may be predisposed, genetically, to a certain type of sexually oriented behavior, we are not bound by it. Both possibilities exist within us.
Having said that, IMHO archetyipical male and female personality/behavior patterns are much more complex than simply "hunter" and "gatherer." Consider our relationship interactions. Mother, father, sister, brother, etc. The patterns of these interactions may be related to hunter and gatherer, but they extend beyond them as well.
There is something powerful in your observation, We_All_Shine_On, and much to wonder upon simply in the relationship between hunter and gatherer, but it is only a small part of a much larger picture, although understanding that relationship sheds some light on the rest.
