~~~~Thoughts on Love~~~ {8}

Every now and then, a girl may come across a dominant male who possesses the qualities of a nice guy, but only rarely, and he would likely be unavailable to date. "Nice guys" are a passive group who value above primitive fulfillment. In that sense, they are more socially developed than dominant males. The unfortunate reality is that they are too ahead of their time for their own good--while a girl may claim to crave romance and happily ever afters, the truth of the matter is that more often than not, she would prefer fornicating with a promiscuous jock over holding hands and stargazing with a soft--hearted intellectual. Of course, "nice guys" are not the only victims worthy of mentioning. There are plenty of "nice girls" who suffer from the inability to find males who loves them beyond their genitalia. My heart goes out to them. Society increasingly values love as time progresses and humanity evolves and develops. It will take thousands, if not millions of years for humanity to strip itself free from the bounds of primitivism and accept love as the sole embodiment of relationships. Oh, if only I were born a million years from now........ There is one last concern that I will briefly address. A common belief among the scientific community holds that love is a reproductive catalyst--that is, it's primary function is to draw couples together so they can fornicate, reproduce, and ultimately aid in prolonging the survival of the human race. This argument is unfounded. While love and sex are correlated, sex's existence is not dependent on the existence of love. In the other words, there exists correlation between love and sex, but there is no causal link. Before humans ever felt emotions, we certainly engaged in fornication. A member of the scientific community may inquire, then, that every species has developed it's own new method of drawing it's males and females together to reproduce, and love just so happens to be the (admittedly complex) mating ritual of humans right now, even if it didn't exist before. By analogy, male peacocks put their magnificent assortment of colorful feathers on display for the purpose of attracting females. Grasshoppers perform a repertoire of mating songs whenever they are struck with the "urge to merge". Surely, grasshoppers fornicated before they were able to chirp and peacocks reproduced before they had feathers. Even still, these mating rituals are the cause of mating right now, just as love is the current cause of human reproduction. .....................TO BE CONTINUED
