Evolutionary Psychology and the Economics of Women
One of my favorite scientists and authors is Dr. Geoffrey
Miller. I read everything he writes because he's so dang smart
and I always learn a lot from this guy.
Miller is a leading evolutionary psychologist, which means he's
as fascinated by sex, sex differences, human behavior, reality
and the "why we do stuff" as I am. Scientists aren't politically
correct.
So here's the study that this self-sacrificing professor put
together earlier this year....
1) Two month period. "Researchers" collected data covering
5,300 lap dances. (I never thought of this when I was working on
my degree...I am SUCH an idiot....)
2) One of the questions that the women involved answered online
each day was where they were in their cycle. There's all kinds
of technical terms like luteal and oestrus....forget that. She's
ovulating, she's post ovulation, she's at that time of the month
or she's pre-ovulating. Those are the official terms for this
article....
First results we learn are that women with normal cycles (they
aren't taking birth control pills) earn the most, about $70 per
hour when ovulating (fertile), compared with $35 per hour for
those who are at THAT time of the month. (Double that in a real
city located in most other parts of the country.)
So you say, "yeah, they are probably better looking which is
why they take the pill."
The women don't go home with the men they dance for. That's
verboten. They aren't prostitutes (that comes through loud and
clear in conversation). They don't have sex with clients. You
want to disagree with these women, YOU go talk to them. They are
dancers. It's a job. They work hard. They go home and study.
Then you say, "That's ALL they make?"
I forgot to tell you this is NEW MEXICO. This is not L.A.,
Vegas, New York, Atlanta. This is Albuquerque.
