Battle of the Sexes 2

After looking at the guys, it's time to look at the girls. We've seen why guess are horny most of the time, the question is, why aren't girls? Why do girls need to feel a "connection" or emotional feelings before they can think about sex with a guys? Why do girls play "hard to get"? And why do girls frequently are the ones more crazy about the relationship after a while?

First off, we must remember, whilst a guys can quite literally impregnate half the world with his sperm cells, a girl can only has a limited number of eggs in a lifetime. Not only that, if impregnated, a girl would have to be "unavailable" for 9 months. FURTHERMORE, even after the baby's born, it's generally the female who has the maternal instinct to take care off (since the truth is, a guy really has no way of knowing for sure if the baby is theirs.

Translated, this means that while the most successful male strategy is to fuck as many as possible, for females, it's a tad more complicated then that.
1. They need to make sure the guy that so generously donated his sperm has good genes.
For males, it really doesn't matter if his sperm ends up with poor genes, because a single sperm (or a single fuck) costs so little to him. For females however, a pregnancy has a much much higher cost, meaning, that she has got to make sure the genes she get are of a good quality, if not, she'd be spending a lot of resources and time rearing a reproductive failure.
2. They need to be sure the male is willing to commit to them and their baby.
Humans, unlike other primates, are a high male parental investment species. This means our males actually give a shit for their kids. Chimpanzee mothers take care of their babies alone, male bears and lions might actually kill a females cub, which would (strange to us) immediately make the female, (the mother of the slain cubs) be receptive to sex. This means that aside from good genes, females want males that commit and are willing to provide resources, time and care for their offspring.

A combination of the above 2 factors can easily make us understand a lot of things about females. For example, why do they like it when guys do seemingly irrational romantic crap (it signifies commitment), why do they value emotional connections (again commitment), and why are they sexually aroused not by the appearance of a guy, but by his gentle whisperings and soft touch. (Signs of emotional attachment = signs of commitment).

As for why girls generally get more into the relationship the further it goes, it's because before the male and female have a relationship (sexual), the female holds the cards. She's the one having the scarce resource (the egg). Sperm cells are frequently harvested by males everyday, whether or not in the presence of females. Thus, she plays it hard, she demands shows of affection and commitment before copulation. After the relationship begins, however, the male holds the power in the relationship. The female is essentially stuck with this male, at least for the next 9 months. The female cannot find other mates while she's pregnant, and no guy would want to rear another guy's kids. The male on the other hand, can effectively have sex with as many other woman he wants, if given the opportunity. This also explains why females are generally less promiscuous then males.

Therefore, expectantly, we will see the male having urges to fuck other woman, and the women trying to stop men from doing it (and thus diverting his resources to the other woman). If you think it's because of more then this, then bear this in mind. In almost all societies, rich powerful men have tons of wives and kids, with none of the wives unwilling. This is of course, because the said male is resourceful enough to provide for all his mates.
