Is it normal to think that monogamy accelerates human evolution?

So when everybody fucks everybody you get mediocrity. When everybody mates only with a spouse you get more geniuses and more retards. The retards die off. Is it normal to think this?

    also monogamous relationships when there is both a mother and father figure usually produce better raised children the non nuclear families

    Yes, this is exactly why nobody wants people to cheat, but most people have lower standards of fidelity for themselves.

    When I know a man or woman who is cheating on his or her spouse I generally distance myself from that person, because I don't want to associate with a person like that. If the cheater person wants to remain my friend then they need to listen when I tell them to immediately stop cheating on their spouse, start attending a twelve step program for sex addicts, and swear off pornography. Otherwise it's see ya, wouldn't wanna be ya.

    • Your personal experiences sound reasonable, but this is actually a discussion of theoretical anthropology. To that end, please feel free to add additional material

        I'm no anthropologist, but I guess I would say that since like attracts like I imagine monogamy makes people more of what they already are if that makes any sense at all.

            No problemo. What do you think about mixed race people?

            • Well, with respect to this model, I think the same rules of mate selection apply. Intelligent white people marry intelligent black people, you have intelligent multiracial offspring. Same with African-Asian and Asian-European. Dumb people of any race marry and you concentrate the genes you want to get rid of. Genetic enhancement occurs at a faster rate because of the multi-racial monogamous relationships.

    So, you're saying something like the royal family of old was made up of genius kids.
    I'm saying you could have taken the average commoner ala MY FAIR LADY.
    If raised and schooled from birth the same way as your well blooded kid.
    They would turn out, identical.
    Was Einstein the jew from a smart successful family.
    Was Tesla, who was way ahead of his time. The result of the parents you speak of.
    Was George Washington Carver.
    How about Henry Ford.
    Steve Jobs.
    Your thesis that monogamy creates greatness is just flawed.
    Aren't the Amish doing that.
    Yea, I'm amazed daily by their progress.
    BTW bimbo your ass.
    I don't have sex with just anyone.

    Ok.
    1 fighter sperm don't mate.
    That's not their purpose.
    They simply turn mid stream to fight any sperm of a separate DNA from swimming upstream.
    Thereby insuring fertilization by the ' home team '
    2 An intelligent mate will only choose an intelligent mate?
    Who are you kidding?
    Smart guys love to fuck bimbos.
    Smart girls are fucking sluts to muscular jocks.
    3 you act as if dummys can only find other dummys to fuck.
    Get out more.
    Guys or girls don't need brains to get laid, they need money, looks, some sort of drug, or a strong game.
    That's it.
    I've seen plenty of monkeys, male and female mate WAY ABOVE their pay grade, social class, or financial status.
    But, it happens.
    Then you get the offspring.
    And once again, depending on how it's raised, determines if it comes out a monkey, or a person with a brain.
    Sorry D but I've seen to many idiots from any race.
    But also to many smart people.
    To think you have some magical solution to enlightenment.

    • Back to the post. "Monogamy accelerates human evolution". You are explaining why monogamy doesn't exist, and I agree that it doesn't. If you want to disprove my hypothesis, you will have to demonstrate how people will get dumber if monogamy is the only option, which you haven't done yet.

      1. Of course fighter sperm don't mate. They ensure the home team scores so the baby will have a more aggressive home team when he grows up to squirt his jizz.

      2. Yes you are right, intelligent people will fuck bimbos and jocks before and after marriage. But this is not about reality, this is about monogamy.

      3. This point is semi-valid. You are saying environment determines intelligence, not genetics. Actually, both factors contribute. That's why it would take many generations for change.

      4. I have never said this is a magical solution to enlightenment or to anything. I have no solution, because everybody fucks. Everybody. This conversation is getting out of hand. You are a bimbo. I am a brainiac. Let's just fuck and get it over with.

    To easy.
    Who's more likely to get laid.
    Bookworm akward girl with braces.
    The Nerd who's a whiz at math and programing.
    Or,
    the tight bodied shollow blonde beach bimbo,
    and muscular jock?

    • Again, this is a hypothesis. In the case you are proposing, the beach bimbo and muscular jock can fuck anyone. And being desirable, they probably fuck almost everyone. This case leads to a population of fighter sperm as we discussed.

      What about the mathematical programmer, and the bookworm girl? Well, they meet and realize this is the only chance for sex. They fuck, marry, and breed offspring destined to become college professors. Again, my theory stands untarnished.

      You raise a good point, tho. Fighter sperm is likely to be most common among those people who are physically attractive.

    You're screwed.
    It's not the mating of any 2 average people.
    It is the home, village, school, govt, and society that determines the result.
    I've seen stable couples produce useless retards and single mom's produce smart intelligent kids.
    Monogamy? Evolution?
    If you know about either, you know the sperm has fighters that instead of trying to breed.
    Turn to fight off any fresh foreign sperm that enters.
    This tells me, women have had multiple men since time began.
    Where's your theory now.
    Except dna.
    Who knows, who's your daddy?

    • What you are saying is true, but you are missing the point of this post. The point is mate selection. If intelligent people can choose only one mate, they will choose another intelligent person. Dumb people have fewer options because nobody wants them. They are stuck with only other dumb people. So here's what happens. Intelligent couple breed kids with even more intelligence genes than they have, and dumb people concentrate their dumbness genes in their dumb kids. Hopefully the dumb kids autodarwinate. Eliminating the dumbest raises the average for the entire population over successive generations.

      When everybody fucks everybody, fighter sperm dominate the population. That is an entirely different dynamic than mate selection for intelligence. My theory on mate selection stands untarnished.

      You'll have to raise your game. Your go.
