But the choices in selection are reproduction and no reproduction
You know, it's odd... I was at a party last Friday, and I was interested in two girls, both of whom were interested in me as well. I went with the prettier one.
My choices were greater than reproduction or no reproduction, because within the option of reproduction, there was the choice of reproduction with girl A, or reproduction with girl B.
Are you saying that I'm the first person this has ever happened to? (I hope so, because that would make me super-stud of the planet.)

What? Refer to post 25 please, Syamsu.
Are you actually saying that I am some sort of greek-god-like stud, and that the raw power of my sexuality has caused some heretofore unknown vista of competition and comparison that ordinarily does not occur in nature?
Cuz... y'know, if you are, that's cool.

You shoulda' haggled. I woulda' gone to ten, easy.

Re: With Dan there are no comparisons
Can you and Mammuthus please remove your rubbish from the thread, and excuse yourselves to leave?
As soon as you address my point, I'd be happy to.
You said that comparisons don't occur in nature. I gave you an example (41 posts before you said it) in which a comparison occured in nature. (Unless, as has been posited as a possibility, my wang is some sort of unnatural force akin to the apple of dischord. Which, as always, I'm perfectly comfortable with.)
Calling it rubbish doesn't mean you're not dodging.

Re: With Dan there are no comparisons
You compared the women in your imagination.
Actually, in my wang. There's a big difference.
You see, my sexual response to one was greater than to the other. Therefore, sexual activity took place with one, and not with the other.
My goodness, it's almost like competition and comparison took place. Unless, as always, my wang is some sort of supernatural force.
Don't get me wrong, Syamsu. I would love it if we lived an ideal world, where I could have told them, "Ladies, ladies, please! Let's not go introducing judgemental language! Instead, let's find away that we can keep both your reproductive rates at 1!"
Sadly though, they wouldn't have gone for that.

He also steadfastly refuses to acknowledge my wang.

That's because you don't know its true power. I have it on good authority from Syamsu himself (by implication, at least) that my wang is a mystic avatar of chaos, the sheer power of which causes otherwise normal women to steep themselves in unnatural practices such as "competition". It accomplishes this through the equally incomprehensible process called "comparison" which, until now, was seeing only in the crazed imaginations of the most deluded Darwin Ideologists.
