I was arguing with this woman the other day. I was saying to her that women have a two-pronged mating strategy. They want a stable providers of resources, but also strong alpha good looking genes. Rarely do you find the two qualities in the same man, so women end up doing things like cheating or dumping their provider boyfriend once he has fulfilled his purpose.

However, she started arguing that women don't need providers anymore - they earn their own money, so they don't need a man to provide them with anything. She said women requiring a provider is an outdated concept. I asked "what about when you want kids, can't the man provide for you then?". She responded that there are plenty of single mums who work and look after their kids and do just fine. And the government is there to fall back on, should things get too tough for her.

I asked "well ok, don't you want men for sex?". She said that, yes, a small minority of men are genuinely attractive and fuckable, but the vast majority of them are not. I asked her to point out the type of man she deemed attractive, and she showed me pictures of male models, fitness models who were obviously on steroids and other genetically gifted men - not something which is attainable even for an average looking man who lifts and takes cares of himself. Bear in mind, she was only average looking herself.

She also said that for sex, the sex toy industry generally takes care of a woman's needs. She said there's so many great sex toys now, women don't even need men for sex unless he's particularly attractive and amazing in bed.

I asked "don't you want men for emotional support?". She responded that that's what her girl friends are for and men don't usually understand women's problems anyway.

So what are men's use to women now? This woman seemed to think the vast majority of men simply have no purpose to women anymore. The only men who serve a purpose are the top 1-2% of extremely attractive men who can be used for sex.
