Is it cooperation or competition that's made humans the dominant species ?

Yes.

@ _____ As always, great answer.

Both.

Don’t know. What’s that got to do with some dude trying to hit on women?

@Nomore lockout – He’s just not sure about the whole dominance thing ;P

Well if he really wants a woman in his life he might be wise to forget the dominance thing and make it a cooperative, two way relationship. If he’s not careful he might even learn few things.

Asking for a friend trying to meet hot chicks.

OK, I really doubt this question is serious. But for the sake of anyone clicking on this question, I’ll bite.

Having the competition attitude is possibly the worst thing anyone can do to score a date. Competitiveness is useful in some situations, but not others, especially anything that involves intimacy. This attitude only shows the person is only in it for sex and the power trip and not human connection. And no one wants to be in a relationship in which one partner treats the other like a property.

Look up incel. Starting with Eliot Rodger. The kind of incels being criticized on the Internet are the ones who want a relationship just to feel some kind of accomplishment. And they are miserable and misogynistic.

Just don’t think about it. Be the best version of yourself, and people will come to you willingly. And relationship is not a game!

Agreed. Good post.

The flaw with the question is that it makes assumptions for which there is no evidence. Who has told you that either trait has anything to do with the distinction of humans as the “dominant” species?

Cooperation was the story before the advent of sports and, especially, sports on TV. Competition has taken over and signals the eventual downfall of humanity.

IMO.

@Mimishu1995 – This is in fact a legitimate question I reflect on fairly often, but how seriously anyone takes it is up to them.

@stanleybmanly – The assumptions in your answer deserve their own questions, but I love how you dominate me ;)

Changing the subject?

@stanleybmanly – Yes.

You’re welcome.

So much rancor over the playful digression provided by the detail.

Obviously hot chicks have made humans the dominant species. ;-p

Here’s how it works:

Bitchin’ babes only date bipedal guys or gals who have opposable digits.

@Brian1946 – WINNER!!!

Your Nobel Prize is in the mail :)

@JLoon LMAO

@JLoon

“Your Nobel Prize is in the mail”

Unfortunately Trump’s tool, DeJoy, has rerouted all my Nobel Prize mail to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington, DC. ;-(

Anyone else getting a lot of duplicate answers? What’s all this hot babes going to bipeds fantasy talk? Any legless troll under a bridge will be smothered in hot babes for as long as he displays a fat wallet.

@stanleybmanly – Evidently you’ve got more invested in this question than I do.

Let me know when you finally approve ;D

I’m confused! The rich “creatures” don’t get the hot babes? I guess I must revise my observations to the doctrine that all hot babes are out to snare a poor man.

@stanleybmanly

“Anyone else getting a lot of duplicate answers?”

I saw duplicate answers from @Nomore_lockout, but one of them has disappeared. <Scratches head with unopposed digits>

Yes, speaking from experience, nothing competes with indigence in landing a hot babe.

@JLoon

The answer for your friend is cooperation, which can be expressed with two words: wing man!

Duplicate awnsers? My last post was, envelope please- handing that A.ward out to Brian1946. ???

I made no mention of hot babes and trolls. Sounds like a cheapo sci fi flick from the 50s or a 70s era sexploitation film. My head just exploded

@Nomore lockout – You mean “50 ft Chix From Planet X” ?

Classic… : )

Yeah I saw that, great flick. Lol On a.double bill with “Hopalong Cassidy vs. the Fiance of Frankenstein”

If the party over, my answer: COOPERATION with the own species & Competition with all other species
By the way, I do not understand fun.

@bernd – Thanks for the answer.

Sorry you’ve got issues with other species. Nobody said cooperation was fun ;)

@JLoon
Me also not.

Clearly cooperation.
We are the only species that cooperates on levels higher than tribal/herd. I.e. who cooperate with complete strangers for some shared purpose.
Cooperation builds water systems and sewerage systems, and grain storage and…

I am wrapping my head around a friend who is asking a hot chick how to meet hot chicks. :-)

Tom, of course, has the real answer

@Caravanfan – I’m just here to help.

Cooperating can be it’s own reward ;)

Well @Caravanfan…it ain’t a banjo!

Tom.

And a banjo.

I think I have everything I need for my act now.

Speaking from experience banjos tend to be chick repellants.
