Now conventional wisdom might hold that everything else being equal women will go for the joe who emerges from the pack, the one who distinguishes himself from the rest. They may not know it but their cells are mumbling to them that this is the guy to invest in, the one to get a little gamete action going with. They don't put it in those words, exactly. Hell, they might not even want anything long-term with Mr. Alpha Male, might consciously think of him only as a welcome substitute for afternoon aerobics. But their genes, their genes are humming a different tune.
Problem is, women today have evolved to such a point that they can think one move ahead of most men.
Some of them are so complex that they ignore the alpha altogether and go for the little weeny who can recite Wordsworth by heart, or who can tell you the best time of year to plant plum tomatoes. To outmaneuver today's nineties' woman you've got to pay attention to how, not what, you think. It only makes sense. Say you got a ripe one. She knows it and you know it.
