I assume your comment is made in jest, but there *are* wimmin out
there who will do this. One case that springs to mind was this poor
sap who lived in Texas (IIRC) who was ostensibly happily married; he
and his "wonderful wife" had been "blessed" with four "beautiful
children" - as invariably happens in America, of course. :-) Anway,
some chance event led to the discovery that one of the kids couldn't
possibly have been this father's. It was thought that was the extent
of the infidelity, but it turned out on further investigation that
*none* of the children were his *and* they all had *different*
fathers! Understandalby the poor ******* was devastated when he
learned this - as indeed where the children; they'd all grown very
close to him and he to they during their lives. Most were in their
teens. Bad time for such revelations. :-(
I'll wager that bitch had some explaining to do! :-

No its not in jest. There has really been a good deal of real research
done on this. In fact, the was a TV program on it the other day. The
researches get women to rate people based on attractiveness. There are
well studied features that relate facial features and behaviour, for
example "manly" or "caring" characteristics. They show that during the
critical ovulation period, women much prefer the manly faces rather then
the caring faces, and visa versa doing other times.

Of course, women don't generally do this consciously, but it is the way
it is. As I said, whatever strategy results in the best Replicators, is
what we observe.

And to Roy, it occurred to me that you may have misunderstood my comment
on "women selects", I was of course, meaning selects to have sex with,
not as a long term partner.

vs "selects to get pregent by"
