They're still maybe reproducing also
Men may not say, men may definitely say, I do not want a baby, but they will pick the most fertile looking women.
And they will actually unconsciously pick women who are ovulating.
Here's one of my favorite studies.
So we are one of the few species that has what's called concealed ovulation.
men can't tell not like all the other primates where her vulva blows up red she's got the big red puffy monkey butt right we don't have that so it's all internal guys shouldn't be able to tell when those three magical three days of a month where she can become pregnant are but their highly evolved brains have found ways to deduce it and one of the ways well one is their walk women walk differently they don't even realize it they don't say they do
But they do.
They move slightly differently.
But the other is voice.
So one of my favorite studies was done at UCLA.
And they asked a bunch of women to simply record the words, hi, I'm a UCLA student.
Hello, I'm a UCLA student.
Hello, all kinds of women.
And then they asked them where they were in their menstrual cycle when they recorded it.
Then they played it for all these men.
And all they asked the men is rate the voice on hotness or not.
Hot or not, right?
What do you think changed in their voices when they were ovulating?
And what is that?
Yeah, what is sexy, come to me?
