When dudes become dads through dadimorphisys (cooter scootin), their brain chemistry changes by producing more of certain chemicals. Oxytocin for example spikes all up in the dadbrain, this is to accomadate them having the child. Baby hypnotized basically. They want to raise, care for, and nourish said child. Which is where the *************************** thought comes from. Welcome to science lads.
Now for the ladies. Bitches love babes. Chemically, during puberty while dudes want to spread love juice, the lass wants the love juice spread. We're made for makin', and we like makin' what's made. Ladies go through the changes to become sexually mature(Puberty), and basically change slightly once pregnant(Pregnancy). Because hey, nothing makes you want that yummy baby batter bakin' buns beautifully like sweet, sweet brain juices.
Now for Pheromones. What are they? How do they work? Why am I listening to Joe the weird guy from Lowe's? Because **** you and shut up, here we go; Pheromones are hormones that are emitted from the body, taken in by others around you by smell, taste, etc.. These hormones change the way a person acts and reacts because hormones are literally chemical compositions that rewire the brain, if not permanently, then temporarily. Pregnant women give off certain hormones that help people accept and feel happy about having the baby. This can be seen by the statement "Honey, you're glowing", which can be responded to with "Dear, my hypnotic parasite goo that I shoot form my VERY PORES is making you high again".
So there you have it. enjoy thinking about that for a while during your next unchristian self-touching session. You damned heathens.
So in all honesty what happens with homosexuals, or people who feel repulsed at the mere idea of being near babies? Is it considered a biological failure, or what?
In evolution, the only thing to be considered as a failure is something that causes your genes to not be passed on. Being gay does that, so yes, homosexuality is natural selection.
And as for not liking babies, it depends on if their hatred for babies stops them from having children.
"the adult human VNO, in different studies, has been reviewed as non-functional as it contains few neurons and has no sensory function where no cells were shown to express olfactory marker protein, have synaptic contacts or have evidence for a nerve connecting to/from the VNO"
Straight from the article. In addition to that, the chemical signaling pathways that would normally modify an animal's behavior are very much reduced in humans. So, with a non-functional VNO, and a multitude of higher order and higher priority processes playing into sexual attraction, affection, and bonding, Pheromones likely have no significant role in human cognition of any kind.
like so: In addition, Trpc2, essential for vomeronasal signal transduction in some animals, is a pseudogene in human. But non-functional VNO does not mean that there are no pheromones in humans, because some pheromone signals may be mediated by olfactory epithelium [25], [26], [27], [28], [29] and [30].
Which is also backed up by:
1) The introductory paragraph of that section, stating:
In humans, the vomeronasal organ (VNO) was regarded as vestigial, but different researchers assumed its function to have a distinct sensory passage to detect pheromones. It is reported that nasal receptors near the entrance of the nose had the strongest reaction to air containing pheromones, transferring it to stimulate the hypothalamus with a signal of attraction, sexual desire, arousal etc. [15], [16], [17] and [18].
and 2) the section "Sexual Pheromones"
Sex pheromones
In humans, the claimed secreted male pheromone that attracts a woman is androstenone h exerting a positive effect on her mood, cognition and heightens sympathetic nervous system arousal. Also, the claimed unknowingly secreted female pheromone that attracts a man is androstenol [35], [36], [37], [38], [39], [40], [41] and [42]. The apocrine axillary glands, regarded as pheromone-producing scent glands, do not begin to function until puberty when sex hormones have an impact on their activity. Beier et al. [43] suggested a possible link between steroid hormone action and induction of pheromone production by investigating the localization of androgen receptor and estrogen receptors (α and β) in these glands.
The free steroids present in hair as products of sebaceous glands, and the sulphate ester steroids as products of sweat glands, were isolated also from the axillary sweat of males and females. In 1 g axillary hair, the free 4-androstene-3 beta, 17 beta-diol, testosterone, 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone, androsterone, 4-androstene-3,17-dione and 5 alpha-androstane-3,17-dione occurred in nanomole amounts, whereas DHAS, androsterone sulphate and 5-androstene-3 beta,17 beta-diol-3-sulphate were 1000 times these amounts [44] and [45].
This is the suffix to the section "Odour-producing organ(s)" Which describes the odor (and possibly pheromone) producing areas of the body
Side Note: Now I'm not saying that pheromones are the end all and be all, humans have evolved many complicated systems in the last couple hundred thousand years. We can have different psychological reactions to the same stimuli. That much is true. But to say that something as potent as a chemical reaction does not have a significant effect on humans, but does on other mammals? That warrants concern.
also, review "Smell and pheromones". It talks more on olfactory senses than pheromones. But it is also a valid subject on which to pursue more avenues of thought.
The point I'm trying to make is that general olfaction has largely replaced pheromone sensing in humans. Olfaction is heavily tied to memory and emotional cognition, and scents can instantly change a person's mood. With the normal olfactory system taking over some of the function of the VMO, yes; pheromones could still have an impact.
I'm not saying that the research is wrong; it's well sourced and their methods and statistics are valid. I'm just saying that, unlike other mammals that use pheromones as a primary sensation, it's fallen into the general perception of olfaction for us.
I'm gonna call ******** , on account of all the fatherless black kids out there and the initial "oh **** " reaction of many men when they hear there's pregnancy about.
I wanna have a baby, frick yeah, but not while im young and wanting to schmake a lot of caaashh, I wanna have a baby once im rich and **** , so i can make that baby have a ******** of fun, while also being semi-hardass so he don't get spoiled, or she.
Also, aren't moms and dads wired to act differently around babies in the sense that moms tend to be more of the parents who will just cuddle their baby and would sit in a quiet room with just the two of them, while the dad is the one who is more likely to play and try to get the baby to do things?
Don't know about that one. Femamom you read that right here. 3 kids and I'd rather play and work with them while their dad is more willing to sit down and watch a movie with them, story time for the youngest/, talk about their day, etc. He loves being a dad. I love my kids too, but there are plenty of aspects about this mom gig that I could do without. But I also work and go to school. If I had to choose though, I'd always choose my kids.
Well of course, my mom was always willing to play with me and my siblings when we were little, and my dad was always the one who read to us. Though in the later years, it kinda went the other way around. Mom would be reading to us, dad would be play wrestling with us.
I'm sure it'll probably end up the same for us considering school won't last forever, the kids will get older, and my hubby is older than I am so he'll probably slow down first. Every family's different though.
But science can be fun! How else would you explain lasers, insect mind-control fungus, and machines that can think for themselves? That' ain't God, Jesus(Mexican pronunciation), or Zeus... that's awesome mother science!
You best learn you some science boi. Free that beast(mawd)!
i have some problems with attention and tldr-stuff, especially if unrelated to my area make my head go blank
sorry for being an ass about it i didnt avtually mean it more than half the stuff i say here is bs, the rest is my legit opinion but i make myself sound like a douche
You're cool bro. I know you were joking. I just have nothing to do today, so I'm sitting on a post while I watch TV and attempt to work, marveling at the fact I wrote a post as an anon that it close to 100 likes.
in all seriousness though. Science is neat, if you want to learn some stuff you should give some subjects a read. You'd be amazed at what you find.
For example: Do you know the computer "Watson"? Look it up, its neat. Anyway, this thing is (Argumentatively, but I won't get into that) an AI and it's creators uploaded Urban dictionary into it...and it started cursing. This thing is made to help doctors, hospitals, kitchens...you name it, it was even on Jeopardy once. Pretty funny to me.
Awwwwwwww, thank you! I hope lightAang gives you the nice "water" bending you love tonight. Be safe and use protection, wear a bending brace for good measure.
Someone thumbed you down. That's not up to bro code. I'm gonna thumb you up because yes, I was wrong to say that. In my haste I wrote something incorrect. Thanks for adding this posts level of knowledge....and SCIENCE!
all that makes me wonder...
if i'm currently in a stable relationship (2 years in november) with stable income and i still do not want a baby, does that means that i still am a sort of old teenager ?
I'd like to imagine this knowledge has be given by some crazy science hobo. Just a man by his burning trashcan, rambling on with his lonely drifter wisdom as he presents a slightly rusted, half full can of beans in attempts to collect change for booze money.
And then the principle shoos him off the playground, and on he goes, spreading his lessons, and god knows what else.
Thank you crazy science hobo, may your dumpster diving always yield mostly non rotten fruit.
I've been lurking on this site for almot 8 years....I may need to make an account called CrazyScienceHobo.
Too bad I'm one of those fancy artist types. Maybe I will anyway, and you're welcome weird guy who comes down dark alleyways asking science questions! May your wonder-lust never lead you down a rapey alley!
Many thanks CrazyScienceHobo, your generous wisdom is only preceded by your stench, Which I can only assume is purified urine and long expired Old Spice.
2) That hit close to home. I ****** my right knee up jogging and had to get some muscle stitched back under the kneecap, so I can't shower without plastic wrap and couldn't drive until today, you try driving stick with your non-dominant leg. Anyway, it's hot and muggy out and I haven't showered in two days, but I have some now and I can un-stink this hobo!
3) I.....use old spice.
P.S. Did you know that if giant animals were a possibility, most of them would die horribly by way of their limbs giving out under the enormous weight of the rest of themselves? This is because of the square-cube law. Stating that larger animals will have less relative muscle strength than their smaller counterparts. This is why ants can lift so much more weight as compared to their size than we can as compared to ours (elephants can barely lift a quarter of their own weight).
A proper round of applesauce to you CrazyScienceHobo. May your rusted bean can be filled with as many thumbs and change as it is mostly eatable beans.
I can only hope that your injury heals quickly, but not so quickly that it need be rebroken, that would probably suck.
I am familiar with the square-cube law, though mostly due to the types of fiction stories I've frequented in my travels. I was sure the collapse would mostly be due to the inability of the bones to support such amounts of supersized meat. Though I do suppose muscles would find the task beyond their physical capabilities as well.
Travel well oh wise and crazy hobo of science. May tattered tweed keep you warm in the cold nights to come.
200 likes, woo! Still too bad I didn't have the future sight to make this account before posting this brain-splooge. Ah well, thanks people for liking it! Hopefully I didn't secreet any hypno liquid to make you do it oO
i myself am a proud castrated lurker that visits once every blue moon. so its nice to see FJ is in your capable hands.
this sponsorship has been approved by zeldamasterace, crazysciencehobo the user that can take any lofty science terms and turn them into fun to read laymen's terms!
my time for speculation.
pheromones are things that the body sucrets to change how people act. this is usually done through smell as in released off as part of her natural odor. you do get used to odors and if started out little by little you don't notice them until the change your behavior or if they come on rather strong.
or he kiss her and it goes in through spit i have more if you want to hear but i mean it dont get better than that first idea.
