In reply to the discussion: Study: Men of All Ages Want Women in Their Mid-20s [View all]LittleBlue
(10,362 posts)227. What are you questioning?
We went to war a lot in history, mostly as a result of greed, need and violent tendencies. The ones who went to war recklessly died off. Those tendencies remain, like the preference for young women. Doesn't mean we will act on them, just like most single older men won't achieve a 20something. Despite preferences.
War =/= getting a boner. Sorry.
