Natasha, it is not at all surprising that memes such as yours would be
issued by one who is a close associate of Max More. {8-] Of
course there are two categories besides Mr. Brains and Mr. Buns:
1) those poor saps who are blessed with neither (Mr. Celibate) and
2) those fortunate few chaps who you allude to who have plenty of both
(Mr. Unavailable) such as Dr. More, et.al., these being completely
occupied by those fortunate few women who have it all.
The Brains vs. Buns scenario is an intentional oversimplification.
It *kinda* works, and also, its just for fun. Most of us boys
feel we are neatly categorized by the ladies into one of the
two original categories, Buns or Brains. I have never been given
much doubt into which category I am placed. {8-[ {8^D
Given your point that better nutrition, longer life, better everything,
accounts for much increase in human intelligence and wellbeing,
and allowing some oversimplification by ignoring for the moment
Mr. Celibate and Dr. More, does not the institution of marriage
and other societal restraints tip the reproductive scales away from
Mr. Buns back in favor of Mr. Brains? spike
