(NSFW) Did early humans give up easy sex for easy beer?

We gave up sex for beer? I think you just debonked Darwin’s theory of evolution, survival of the fittest, etc.

I think they left out the role of status and the fact that the most powerful man gets to bonk the most women, except in the US, where it only happens if you don’t get caught. Actually, what that means is that economic power is better than political power. There are too many constraints on political power.

Women may have civilized men, but men took over and used civilization to get women. Was that a bad move on women’s part? Do you think that if they knew what was going to happen, they would have still put us on the road to civilization? It essentially resulted in their enslavement for thousands of years—an enslavement that only some of them are able to get out of now.

All in all, I think that if women could take it back, they would have left men running around the woods shooting at things without having beer to consume around the campfire.

The early Irish did. lol

Newspaper clipping

Indian Chief Two Eagles was asked by a white U.S. government official, ‘You have observed the white man for 90 years. You’ve seen his wars and his technological advances. You’ve seen his progress, and the damage he’s done.’

The Chief nodded in agreement.

The official continued, ‘Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?’

The Chief stared at the government official for over a minute and then calmly replied:

‘When white man find land, Indians running it, no taxes, no debt, plenty buffalo, plenty beaver, clean water.

Women did all the work, Medicine man free. Indian man spend all day hunting and fishing; all night having sex.’

Then the chief leaned back and smiled ‘Only white man dumb enough to think he could improve system like that.’

@Seek_Kolinahr nice

Is that not what women do today?

Ben Franklin is quoted as saying that “Beer is proof that God loves and wants us to be happy.” But then he also wrote rather a lot in his diary in his 60s about who he’d “hump’d”, so I doubt he gave up anything at any time.

You know, it does make sense because my ex husband certainly had the brains of an early human and gave up sex for beer for all the time.

I got a fridgeload of beer, anybody wanna trade?

Maybe that’s because beer is always cool-headed and refreshing, it doesn’t whine if you finish first, doesn’t want to cuddle afterwards and it doesn’t get angry because you stayed out all night sampling other brands.

@Rufus_T_Firefly Bitter McBitterson much, eh?

@Seek_Kolinahr Superb answer.

@aprilsimne Based on that, I refuse to choose.

@Simone_De_Beauvoir – Who in the hell is…? Nevermind. No, not at all, quite the extreme opposite in fact. I’m just here for the laughs… and… well, for the free beer, of course.

@Rufus_T_Firefly I know, I was just poking fun at you. Sounds like a previous relationship of yours might not have worked out

WTF! I almost always end up crying in my beer because I’m not getting any sex.

@ratboy At least now you can blame great, great^100 grandpa for the sordid mess.

Having not read the book, all I can really do with this question is ask myself “would I like to get easy sex at the expense of making it difficult to get beer?” Or, more simply, “what do I like better, beer or sex?” Well, I fucking love beer, there’s no question about that. And sex is really, really awesome. So now I have to ask, “is the best beer better than the best sex?” That answer is no. So my answer is “Man will give up mediocre sex for beer, but not great sex.”

@cockswain Indeed. Couldn’t we just settle for regular boinking and wine instead of beer?

For a time, but people always want something better after a while. I once heard Howard Stern say “for every hot woman out there, there’s a guy who’s sick of banging her.” That seems to be the case (but not for me, I love my wife dearly).

See, this is why women rock. We can drink plenty of beer and have plenty of great sex. At the same time.

@augustlan Life can be so unfair. :-)
