    Bah! Who needs to be nice guy or a bad guy when you can be an evil genius and build all your own children or pleasure bots!

    Other studies of sex among water striders had kept the population contained in a limited area, where females had access to very few males.

    Compare this to the situation in more and more institutions of higher education, where the sex ratio is approaching (or even blowing straight through) 60% female.

    If the past week or two of critter sex articles have taught me anything, it's that I'd rather be a fruit bat than a water strider... #science

    The question for the male becomes, do you want children or do you want to get laid? #science

    @reddingofish: Well, if we're talking homo sapiens here, I think you know the answer for any male under the age of 30, and probably a good two-thirds of all males in general.

    @TemporalSword: Sometimes I think the male olfactory sense must be broken. Getting a whiff of their colognes is like being run over by a Coca Cola truck.

    Just sayin'..there's no need to use the whole entire bottle, guys. Unless you're stranded in the middle of the Arctic and the only way to find you is to sniff you out, just a dab will do ya. #science

    So it's like a Friday Night at any bar in any large urban center. I can picture the water strider equivalent of the Butabi Brothers wearing six gallons of Dakar or Axe, gold chains and bobbing their heads to "What is Love?"

    As for isolated populations theory, this is familiar to anyone who has lived in a small town and seen the local assholes/louts have their way with the local ladies.
