It's just off-putting to be baited this way and that with certain subjects (biology, genetics, symantics) only to be pounced on with a contradiction. It's a big "who knows more trivia than the other?" debate.
The book by Olivia Judson is required reading for the Sexual Behaviour class at the University of Toronto and has a humorous vein that makes it enjoyable to read but everything is backed up by scientific fact. But you assume it is a humor book before you even looked it up. You say that if we questioned everything that is supposed scientific fact then nothing would ever get done but it seems that every detailed fact can be contradicted with another one. It's not that I don't want to hear them- well, it's just because I disagree. I could say the same for you.
I just don't want to see girls settling for less when they can have someone on the same level as them. It's really, really hard to maintain that kind of relationship but it's very worth it. (chemi has the right idea)

You had a good run, puzzlegirl! I liked your side of the argument a lot --- But I agree, it's really difficult to do the whole 'I know more trivia than you' thing ... That's how my Dad debates quite often, and it's a lot easier to just go, 'Dad. I don't agree with you. Now shut up.' XD!;
No offence, cool, you're a very smart guy and all. You've just got such weird opinions sometimes! XD; Yet, I often read your posts in other threads, and agree.
I just thought of something --- People shouldn't judge others so quickly. Like, just because I don't agree with a few people in this thread, doesn't mean I'm going to disagree with them in other threads! I'm not going to decide, 'That's it! I'm not agreeing with anything they say! They have different views than me, holy crap! Grrr, rawr!~'
Unfortunately, it's tough to do this sometimes ... x_X; Yes, even for myself.
