Hot Flash! Men May Be the Cause of Menopause

[BlueGin]

Why am I not surprised?

*******************************************************************

Ladies, here's one more thing you can blame on men: menopause. At least, that's according to a new theory.

Women go through menopause because men have consistently preferred younger women in recent evolutionary history, according to a study published today (June 13) in the journal PLOS Computational Biology.Thus, menopause is not evolutionarily advantageous and may be the result of a series of random, harmful mutations that accumulated in women but weren't acted on by evolution because the women had already reproduced by the time the mutations affected them.

"Our first assumption is that mating in humans is not random with respect to age, which means men of all ages prefer to mate with younger women," said study co-author Rama Singh, an evolutionary biologist at McMaster University in Canada. "If mating is with younger women, any deleterious mutations which affect women's reproduction later in life will accumulate because they are not being acted on by natural selection."

Exactly. Young girls aren't dumb. Men think with their peckers...get them rich and with one foot in the grave. Date for love later.

Judging by the prolific ads for prescription testosterone these days the babes have their revenge.

I blame women and marriage as the reason that men die earlier than women.

[boedicca]

If one doesn't like men one's own age dating hot young women, one should just celebrate one's inner cougar and date hot young men.

That is serendipity.

Women over 45 not having sex? Not likely. Another 'study' that proves those doing the study achieve their results filtered through their own personal biases. Men go through a change similar to menopause. What causes that? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andropause Though men may be able to continue to father children into old age, their sperm degenerates and studies are beginning to prove that the older the father, the more likely the child will be born with certain birth defects and genetic problems, such as schizophrenia. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/28/health/28iht-snfert.4748536.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0

As far as men being involved with young women: mostly wishful thinking. The vast majority of marriages withing the US, for example, of all ages, occur between people who are within a 5 year age difference. I don't call marrying someone 5 years younger 'mating' with a younger person, whether it is the male or female who is younger.

The fact is, and statistics prove this, married men live longer than single men. Men don't die younger because they are married; in contrast, men who are married live longer than men who are single. As well, both men and women who are married live longer than single people, but women live long than men primarilly because when women age, they support each other as friends and care givers, whereas men tend to go it alone. You live longer if you've got a support system of friends and family.

Will that be one serendipity or two?

Plain or sugar cone?

Here's something kinda cool- Mrs. H. used to work in an office pool with several other females.

Over time, they eventually started ovulating in unison.

Babes are like that. It's the gravity of the moon. It interacts with babe naughty bits.

 

[Mr. H.]

Women are the earth, moon, and stars.

Men are the animalistic dirt beneath the feat of women.

Religion was invented as a means to elevate man.

Earth Mother Earth...
