Love and Society 2

People who study human motives and behaviours remind us that the sole objective of living species is to pass on their genes, and that humans are no different from other living beings in this regard. The experts tell us that  feelings such as romantic love and other erotic sensations are no more than the driving mechanisms that prompt us to do so. Of course we don't go consciously around saying,  "Oh there goes Shirley, I'd like to pass on my genes through her". Not at all. I am told that we simply know that Shirley makes us feel something different and quite lovely when we hear her voice, when she comes around or even when she comes to mind. According to the human-behaviour experts, much of what goes on behind the scenes of our lives; below the surface of our cranium, is completely unknown to us, and carry out intentions that we are totally and absolutely oblivious to, and so we don't think that our passion for our wives, girlfriends and lovers is stimulus for ensuring that something of us remains millions of years after we have gone.
When I was a child, fat women were considered healthy and attractive; thin women were seen as unhealthy and unappealing. They were the ones pursued by males looking (subconsciously of course) to pass on their genes.Tall, muscular men were sought after my women, because( subconsciously according to the experts) physical strength offered the best assurance of protection in fiercely hostile environments and conditions which living in this universe unexpectedly tosses up. They tell me that when a woman swoons over a tall man, or when a man salivates over the presence of a luscious woman, it is not love which causes such reaction at all, not in the least. It is the efforts of genes to multiply themselves, and we are only the containers in which they are taken to do their thing.
