    Are M/F differences in sexuality caused by denigration of sluts? Survey says no: Oversexed M & F equally scorned. http://goo.gl/iEHDLx

        @sapinker It doesn't state whether the # of hook ups the participants deem "too many" for their male & female peers is the same though...

        I'd want to know how the respondents define "too much" for each sex MT“@sapinker: Oversexed M & F equally scorned. http://goo.gl/iEHDLx ”

        @sapinker 2 many problems w that 2 list here. Do we believe people feel what they claim to? R views equally expressed 4 both genders? Etc.

        @sapinker @JayMan471 The whole notion that significant phenotypic differences are caused by hurt feelings is ludicrous.

        @sapinker should define positive or negative traits in each sex before scorn. Which is needy or dominant. Ignorance leads to scorn. Religion

        @sapinker This study only addresses the respondent's privately held opinions. Not necessarily how likely they are to vocalize disapproval.

        @sapinker Maybe subconsciously thinking: could l trust this person in a relationship? Serial shaggers don't make healthy,reliable partners.

        @sueellendarling @sapinker How about; women need only enough sex drive to produce healthy children and hang on to protectors?

        @pyconnor @sapinker Same for both. Would be good too, if they were comparable drives.

        @sueellendarling @sapinker Asymmetrical, man's interest may be to have lots of children by different women, so higher sex drive.

        @pyconnor @sapinker Oh, right, so that makes it ok for men to to shag around? And not all men have higher drives than women. Fallacy.

        @sueellendarling There's nothing in his tweet to suggest @pyconnor condones male promiscuity. I see no fallacy.

        @joshualord2700 @pyconnor no, but it seems to suggest it was a need.
