> Fact that women in their 30's are at their sexual peak - don't think it has anything to do w/variant.

Cecil: Maybe you are right abut this. Something about hitting 30.
Although I've heard males peak in the late teens, early 20's, femmlaes's it's their 30's.

Most of my 30's friends, male and female, are quite content not to have a lifetime partner.
Cecil: Although I always have been content to be single, I want to be married too. Preferably to someone else who also likes to be 'indepedent', independant, but not alone.

A great many of them have created lives that they are happy with, and are in the process of serial monogamy, or serial non monogamy...
Cecil: I need the monogamy, also not the serial, only one time.

> On another note, perhaps during adolesence, the social factor is more pronounced,
Cecil: Most definitely, but social factors are also still pronounced in adulthood.
but I think flavored by variant, which is probably set at a very young age, as are most primary personality characteristics... I think the going rate now is that it's set by age 4, though I'm not sure.
Cecil: I know not much about that.

(Me, self-preservation. Sensual, yes, other oriented, not very much. There are enough people procreating, I'm sure someone will make up for my lack of contribution to the gene pool).

> Still, there is always the fascination of rounding out one's character via the experience of having children, and of leaving a legacy, though neither are the reason to have children, IMO.
