Power powers promiscuity, new study finds | Deseret News

[_Polygamy-Porter]

Great minds think alike!

I was about to make a comment about powerful religious leaders; one in particular actually.

But never mind, you nailed it with the visual aid.

[_harmony]

The comments were hilarious.

And I thought that one, particular powerful religious leader was about to nail it in the visual aid.

Anyone acquainted with "The Game" knows full well that women love symbols of power -- intellectual, financial, spiritual or physical. I was watching a documentary on attraction and they did a test on young women which involved an old guy in a business suit standing next to his twin who was wearing a chauffeurs uniform and cap. Which did the young women say was hottest? The one in the chauffeurs uniform even though most would undoubtedly know that is not a high paying job.

Many women will fall head over heels for a part time philosophy professor, a published, but struggling, author, or someone who is sort of mystic -- that is due to many seeking intellectual stimulation. During our polygamy period we probably got a lot of such women joining the church, but maybe now with our cookie cutter ideals we are losing such women as Mormon males are, let's face it, boring.

Of course, there are women who love the smell of money and that aphrodisiac has been known for years. And just in general, most women like a guy who believes in himself -- which explains why psychopathic people may be the future of human evolution. I really don't think the study tells us anything most people don't already know.

I was and probably still am a boring Mormon male. I had no relatives at BYU but often times females would confuse me with other men. We all looked the same and were the same in so many ways. But outside Mormonism, many females viewed me as unique and special, because once I got out of UT, I was. My marriage came later than I wanted, but I'm thankful every day that I was eventually able to get married before I had been able to make anything of myself. Making it together when you're young is the way it should be in a pair bonding society. Not marrying until you're at the top of your career field and going from having no women interested in you to every woman wanting a piece of you should belong to the polygamous socieities from which we evolved.

It still perpelexes me when I see 50 year old men living life on a string chasing after young gold diggers. Some of these men really let themselves get taken for a financial ride and for what? Money, authority, and the younger beautiful women that come with it... I truly want no part of it, and that's the natural man talking. I'm an uncle now and hopefully soon to be a father. All I want is to coach the little league team, pass on the knowledge, art, philsophy, and sport passed on to me by my father and grandfather. I want to be in the stands when my nephews or even nieces win their first tournaments, guiding them on how to behave as champions, once again feeling the rush again that only a young athlete feels even though my days as a chamipon are past. I want to be Dad, and hopefullly someday Grandad. The biggest tragedy I see in families today is when old men allow young women to steal not only their hearts but their posterity's inheritance, both in their time that belonged to their sons and the family estate. I can't help but think these men will mourn when they watch their genetic line weaken into obscurity when they look on from the other side and realize what they gave up.

The only thing more satisfying to my father than graduating from engineering school at the top of his class was seeing the day I became Dr. Ajax. And I never would have been able to do so without being able to stand on his shoulders. He had the financial power to have many mistresses. But that was never where his heart was. I guess it's just not a part of our culture.

Two problems here guy.

First if your supporting the kids as champions rather than supporting them as kids in any endeavor. Have seen your type at sporting events way too often. Support the winner so the kids know if they aren't up to the top rung you are disappointed in them. Much better in my opinion and that of many coaches I know to support them in their efforts - and winning or placing high is a bonus. The kids will always perform better knowing they are supported, not just when they win.

Second is the younger women 'stealing their posteritys inheritance'.
For the sake of money and property you would begrudge your progenitors enjoying their golden years with someone they choose to be with. You are a gold-digger, pure and simple.

Let the older men or women spend their lifes accumulations any way they want. If it is giving it all away to charity or spending it on a younger babe or a young stud - what business is it of yours? If it makes them happy, so be it. They owe you nothing in the way of money or property. Nothing beyond what they did to raise you so you could make your own way in the world.

What you posted is the Mormon greed that drives the scam artists as they know only too well how to milk it.

[_moksha]

Even today, what woman would not swoon over the sight of a Nauvoo Legion General's uniform?

I don't believe winning is everything. For me the rush of competition is all I need. Even losing feels better than not playing. That's all I'm saying.

Second is the younger women 'stealing their posteritys inheritance'.

Agreed, she would not be stealing the inheritance, unless it was an extreme case like Anna Nichole Smith. That was theft and a complete disgrace to that man's first wife and children. But I agree that the father owes the son nothing. Even so that case was still disgraceful. I do think remarriage can diminish the intimacy of the family unit when a stranger is brought in. It never works quite as well when that stranger does not share the same genes as the biological parent who is now gone once did. Look at how much more the sons of the same mother in a polygamous marriage cared for each other than sons of different mothers cared for each other as in the story of Joseph who was sold into Egypt.

Total crap. But ok.
