I have never seen this theory before. It could be true . .


I just figure that after a lifetime of trying to decide what message calling today sends as compared to calling tomorrow we just get tired, give up and die . .. LOL.

We in America do not have government by the majority. We have government by the majority who participate.

Calling today means you're interested and want to talk today.


Calling tomorrow means you're probably interested, but were holding back (or busy, but probably holding back).


Calling a week from now means you're not all that interested.


Calling a month from now means you're horny and were going through your phone to see who might be game.

Calling means I want to talk. (-:


All jokes aside, this sounds a little like something Froid would have come up with. It "must" be about sex. (-:


That being said, I do look at nature often when I need to try to wrap my mind around what I think is "normal", you know? So the argument being presented in this article has some merit. I however think stress is what shortens life. And stress is about providing, not getting laid. (Sometimes those two things aren't however so far apart admittedly.) It you look at women in the work place today and the increase of stress related issues like heart disease . . . it simply reflects women in roles that 30 years ago would have been a mans role.


What the article seemed not to answer for me was stress . . it hints that stress is all sexual in what it does not say. What do you think, am I reading to much into it?
