I think this video made some very good points. The first that caught my attention was what young women look for in men and what young men look for in women. I wasn't surprised by the fact that the majority of women look for someone reliable with status who can make a living because I myself hope to one day marry someone who is able to provide. What surprised me was that, for the most part, men look for similar reliable, homemaker quailities in women they date! I guess I always figured that most young guys are more about looks that potential.
Later in the video it talked about how these quality needs erode as we age and become able to do them ourselves. When a woman lands a decent job and realizes she can do the things that she thought the man must do, she will probably begin to seek someone who has more things in common with her. The same goes for a man who, with time, realizes he cand o just fine on his own and doesn't need someone to look after him.
The second video, supporting Darwin's theory, was interesting, and although I am sticking to what I said about Darwin in my chapter blog, I do agree with the fact that vital genes were passed from our ancestors, helping us survive. I found the fact that the speaker thought adoption to be un-Darwinian very interesting! If we are able to reproduce and pass on our genes, adopting someone elses offspring definitely goes against Darwin's theory.

This video was very interesting to me, I thought that men look for just looks and potential as well. What also was interesting was that when we find someone we want someone with a job and can provide for us, and then when we can provide for ourselves we look for someone that has more things in common with them. I hope that I don't do that, but maybe me and Jody have a lot in common so it wont happen. :)
ReplyDeleteI too liked the video. It really puts into perspective what couples want from eachother. At first a person may look for someone who can do things they think they can't, but when they finally realize they can do anything the other partner they look for someone they really could enjoy. Marriage isn't baised on how much a person can provide for you anymore really. Now people marry someone they actually love and enjoy doing things with. It's really interesting how marriage and relationships have changed over time.
