Battle? What battle?
...peace & love, brotherman and sisterlady.
Just watched 'Battle of the Sexes' on BBC1, a documentary about scientific approaches to finding an 'ideal match' as your partner. The programme was based around a collection of scientists with their own theories about the perfect match (facial characteristics, hip-to-waist ratio, looking similar, income, breast/butt size & shape, etc) running a speed dating agency and making predictions.
Key outcomes:
- People didn't hook up with their scientifically-predicted match
- No lasting relationships came out of the speed dating, scientifically-predicted or otherwise
- The London Seduction Society (yes, I am afraid such a thing exists) thankfully scored badly, as their interpretation of seduction was to put down a woman so they looked impressive in comparison. That these guys thought like this is an affront to men everywhere, is demeaning to women, and a mighty big shit-stick insult to human intelligence. Thank God they were trounced, chauvinistic jars of semen (with the lid stuck, thank f**k)
- I wouldn't want to date any of the people (male or female) in this programme. Too godamn shallow.
Right, i'm off to peruse pornography (photos of naked buffalo in a travel mag - authentic savannah action!),

Interesting thoughts. A bit of a non-programme. I agree. Those scientists would definitely be running for the hills I think folowing this show and perhaps now their foreheads will shrink a little! They just got in the way big time with the process of natural selection sometimes mysterious sometimes not and merely hindered their guinea-pigs in their search for love.
As for THE THOUGHT of the London Seduction Society that worries me but the knowledge that I could spot a member from several hundred yards or so does not! They too I feel will be running for the hills after this, this is good, not remotely sexy any of them because contrived.
Programmes like this just encourage the charade of the mating 'game' further. I think it's simple really. Just be yourself. And the one character that I remember from it is the scottish guy, he didn't have immediate sex appeal but he had something interesting to say. Some of the others came across as shallow though I suspect a lot of that was down to the set up of the experiment which encouraged it (what kind of tits would you like? What amount of muscle tone? etc) and also to the editing. He for one did not.
The scientists were definitly considering humans in a zoological way animal specimens and all that.

As someone once said, 'whatever else happens, in this world and beyond, you can only be you.'
