Sexonomics is a new system for confused logical types who despite all efforts fail to understand how male-female relations work. Far more useful than your university level micro and macroeconomic classes, sexonomics gives a general overview of sex, or what we here like to call the sexed up version of the economy; the sexonomy. Using simple principles like supply, demand, equilibrium, markets, and competition, we show how a theory of sexonomics can be used to make predictions and solve important real-world scenarios relevant to us all.Here's an extract from The Law of Demand:
'Men understand the nature of demand better than women, because they're the ones who have to walk up and introduce themselves to girls and later initiate sex. A guy quickly learns that a girl isn't going to come up to him and ask him if he wants to do it. If he isn't proactive, then he won't get sex. This is because his sexuality is worth nothing to a girl relative to how much her sexuality is worth to him. He learns that he must demand, and she will supply when she so chooses.'And here's one from The Law of Supply:
'Women realize around puberty that their sexuality is powerful, it has use value. By putting out, they learn that they can get a price because men want what they have. Their sexuality is a resource, something they conserve and give out only when they receive the right price for it. I'll talk about the intracacies of price later. Thus, women choose to supply sex rather than demand sex. 'For more economic theory made sexy take a trip to Sexonomics
Very interesting, and may partly explain why men are generally higher paid than women, even women who are better qualified.
ReplyDeleteEvery young male knows the huge effort required to establish even a first contact with a girl and faces the real posibility of pain, rejection, humiliation and the scorn of his peers if it doesn't work out.
He will work hard to develop skills to avoid such an outcome and coping strategies to help him if he does.
These skills are all valuable in helping him to manage other risky situations and learn to recover from disappointment without suffering from a reduced sense of self worth. It may also explain why women suffer from depression more than men since they are less well able to adjust to disappointment.
This is stating the obvious. It's the reason why unemployment and lack of status is so much more of a problem for men than women.
