Are We Just Asking Too Much From Women?

I think Patrice O'Neal put it best. What is it that women want most from men?

It's not necessarily looks, or money, or status, or intelligence, or good conversation, or game, or sex, or childrearing ability.

What they really want is our time. I'm not a big fan of evolutionary psychology, but there's no denying that when you break it down to this level, you're going back to a very primal sort of idea, that involves the biology of living things and how they exist and replicate, and the nature of the (possibly life-filled) universe we live in.

You could even break it down to thermodynamic arguments. The arrow of entropy only flows one direction, as far as we know, and all systems of organization or ordered information eventually collapse into disorder. One could argue that the only universal constant "metric of value" for mortal, living things is that time now, is in some sense worth "more" than time later.

What use would some immortal being a universe where time extended to infinity have for money, status, or game? There wouldn't be any. In infinite time all possibilities occur, so to get what you want all you'd have to do is wait. Any day is just like any other. The only reason existence can have any "meaning" at all is because it's time-limited, and since time is the stage from which any sense of meaning must be created, it's a pretty damn valuable commodity.

Some say "time is money." I'd argue that money is time.

So how much they are willing to offer in exchange for right now depends on her own internal mental calculation weighting those other factors, depending on the particular woman. Beyond just the ability to provide material things, one could argue that all things being equal between two guys who are similar in all other respects, the time of a man with wealth/status is simply an intrinsically more valuable asset, than one without. It allows more opportunity for meaningful possibilities.

Some Friday morning philosophy for ya. But don't take this post to mean that I believe that one needs to be constantly jealously watching the clock, worrying about every second that passes. I don't think it has to be that way. At the moment, I'm content with how I dole out my time. Looks like it's going to be a great weekend. [Image: blush.gif]
