Tens of thousands of men have
answered questions about children,
money, sex, marriage and many other
issues that a popular men's website is
about to publish in a piece called "The
Great Men's Survey." This report will
be fully released in August, but some
insighful information for all has been
released this week. Roughly about
68,000 men participated in the survey
when all was said and done.
Here are some key points. Younger
men are more likely to have a
problem dating a woman with
children, 68% of the men said they
believe in the institution of marriage
and plan to get married someday,
92% of the men said they would be
OK if their female partner or spouse
made more money than them but
about one third of men filling out the
questionnaire said it was very
important or somewhat important
that their wife or future wife signed a
prenuptial agreement.
About 47% to 50% of men under age
30 were fine with dating a woman
with children, but almost half of the
male respondents aged 15 to 28 were
not comfortable with the idea of
dating a woman with children. Men's
discomfort with dating a mom
dropped with each additional decade
of age, falling below 15% of men aged
50.
If they had to choose between having
a child or a dog, men under age 20
would pick the dog by a tiny margin of
28% to 26%. Men between 35 and 50
wanted the child more than a puppy.
About one-third of all men wanted
both a child and a dog, while about
13% didn't want either creature in
their house.
If men could have only one child,
apparently the desire for a boy was
greater than that for a girl, but the
older the men were, the less the
gender of the child mattered.
To maintain a healthy relationship,
about 12% of men under age 30
thought couples should have sex
every day. More than 75% of men
answering the survey thought couples
should have sex several times each
week. About 1% said sex once a
month would be okay.
Some experts feel that the best way to
understand male mating behavior is
as the product of biological evolution.
Evolution is only concerned about
getting genes into the gene pool. It
selects for genes that increase their
own presence in the gene pool, and
this is accomplished by having a large
number of surviving offspring.
The elements of male sexuality are
consistent with the pressure to have
many offspring that reach
reproductive age themselves. Men are
biologically programmed to get have
as many surviving offspring as
possible, that is precisely the thing
that evolution selects for. Note that
this expresses the outcome that
evolution selects for, but it doesn't
specify the mechanisms by which that
happens, and does not compel men
to act on the predisposition.
Commitment to a family is good: it
helps the offspring reach adulthood,
but the commitment is not
necessarily exclusive. A wife's womb
is a bottleneck. More children outside
of the marriage would increase
reproductive success, as would more
marriages, if the man can support
them.
A man wants sex more often than a
woman, on the average, and
especially when the woman is
occupied with pregnancy, lactation,
and caring for children. Some feel
menopause is nature's way of telling a
man to find someone younger. This
encourages a man to seek out more
than one woman.
Men commonly fantasize about sex
with many women. Giving reasons for
being unfaithful, men commonly
report they are "bored" with sex with
their wife or girlfriend, that they need
"variety." These are the ways natural
selection translates into human
experience.
