Author of quotes: Douglas Kenrick

Individuals of the sex who give more to their offspring, are more selective in choosing partners, and individuals of the opposite sex are struggling just to get elected. In this equation, aggression is a byproduct of competition. Returning to the question of sex differences in humans, it should be said that women invest more in offspring, so men compete to chose them.

To get the attention of females, males do one of the following things. They can start to praise yourself as a peacock, rasushi luxurious tail. They can find and seize territory for a comfortable habitat. Or unable to grapple with an opponent, conquer him and thereby secure the primacy in this area.

But only men of humiliation and abuse can lead to murder. [...] In fact, the reason for the extreme aggression THAT one person tells another, and HOW he says it and what is behind his tone. When one man insults another in public, regardless of what triggers the insult, changing the status of the offended. And when a man loses his status in the eyes of others, argue Wilson and Daly, it becomes less attractive in the eyes of women.

A third possible explanation of sex differences in the case of the murder connected with such an amazing motive as the desire to impress others. Such a motive is atypical for women, but very typical for men. The desire to demonstrate their aggressive tendencies may explain why men move their aggressive intentions into action.

Daly and Wilson also point out that most of the typical woman kills her husband or lover defensively, because she's afraid that someday he might kill her if she would not strike first.

There are at least three possible explanations for the fact that women are less likely to realize their "murderous" thoughts. First, women's
fantasies are more transient than men. 65 % of women experiencing such emotions, said that they lasted a few seconds or minutes
while men such thoughts do not leave for hours, days and even weeks. Fantasies in men are accompanied by ominous detail, they men start thinking how to implement the plan.

Who do people want to kill? And women and men primarily as victims elect man. [...] Women exceeded men only in the category of fantasies of lovers, the thought of killing lover recently came to mind 27% of women compared with 7% of men. And it's not so much because men are so innocent and are not inclined to use violence against female partners, but because men have aggressive fantasies often occur in relation to other categories of persons. in addition, sexual partners of women to men, they seem to cause more aggressive desires of all who they meet with.

Social psychologists again and again find confirmation of the fact that people feel the need to say what, in their opinion, the most acceptable in the social sense, and that we all tend to intentionally forget that we are not goody-Goodies.

One night my stepfather lost control of himself and attacked me with his fists and threatened to kill me. Remembering scenes from the movies, I managed to put him the best blow in my Boxing practice and went straight in the jaw, why he flew across the room and landed unconscious on the floor. My brother looked at me, and then pointed the gun at Bob and asked, "should I shoot him?". For a moment I pondered, and then said, though not too confidently: "nah, not worth it."

Those who understand the danger of fatty foods and excess sugar, you can keep track of what and how much they eat. Those who understand the danger of excess than we are treated by the media, no longer indiscriminately swallow "Playboy", "People", "Sex in the city" or "Dancing with the stars." After all this research, I stopped buying the magazine "Playboy" and almost never turn on the TV. As a result, I had more time to ride a bike, or read books. I have become happier or not - I don't know, but in any case, I'm not trying to compare myself to Donald trump, and his wife with "miss February".

Of course, our ancestors lived without TV, movies and photos and before their eyes were the only real people, and the mechanisms of consciousness our ancestors performed the work that needed to be fulfilled. Now, these mechanisms are overloaded. In a sense, the images that we are stuffed with Hollywood and Madison Avenue, akin to the taste of ice cream "Ben and Jerry". Tasty supplements and visual images intrude into the mechanisms of consciousness that were suited for survival and reproduction in a completely different world. If you absorb these supplements and images in too large quantities, it may cause harm.

Does this mean that women's love is stronger? The fact that women are not susceptible to the same effect from looking at handsome men in magazines and that it does not affect their feelings for the partners may be further evidence in favor of the widespread perception that men are fools. But, as suggested by our colleague Norbert Schwarz, although women do not compare their partners with muscular beefcake magazines, they compared them with men with a high position in society, and this comparison is in favor of the latter.

In General, we can say that when people see beautiful women, they change the adaptation level of what they consider beautiful. A side effect from the constant contemplation of pinup girls, for guys, like my neighbor Dave is a real woman with whom he could meet, attract him not, because his brain adapted to the pictures, which he regards as normal. If young men often view photos of the top models, it undermines their feelings for real women of flesh and blood, which are associated with their lives.

We accept psychophysical decisions, comparing any new form of stimulation of our adaptive level - expectation that at the level of perception is considered normal based on our past experience, especially recent. What is perceived hot or cold, heavy or light, salty or sweet, to a large extent depends on our newly experienced feelings.
