Females are still limiting factor in reproduction, not males, so they're the one with the selection choice, not male. But even in that scenario, the top level males will mate with their choice of females that 'allow' them to(which will be all of them, because they are the top level males, which means either the female will actually allow them, or will be forced to) and then stop because they don't care to spread their seed to undesirable females, regardless of the limitation of 9 month pregnancies. Males have the selection choice. And yes, rape was a very real part of human reproductive history. | ||

Like, with Warhammer, I've been going to a nearby Games Workshop, which is fine, but I feel like you get a different crowd at a local game shop over the company franchise ones. Do you just find people online to play with or do you go to a FLGS to meet people? | ||

How do you think females choose top males? males peacock hard, females are like "yo, dis guy shows good genes cuz he peacocking so gud, imma fuck dis dude and make babies" males ultimately also get a choice once they're in the higher echelon, "hey, how much can i get out of my 6 pack abs? can i get a 8/10 female? or 10/10 female?" but the choice initially dawns on the females in the reproduction, not males. That's why in most social context outside of rape (think of rape as cheating in video game), asking for sex is usually males asking females. | ||

That's why in most social context outside of rape (think of rape as cheating in video game), asking for sex is usually males asking females. You're ignoring how society worked before the last like, 30 years. The phrase 'take this woman' isn't accidentally worded like that, men have, for almost the entirety of human existence, used stature in society to choose a woman. Acquiring stature isn't peacocking in a biological sense(ignore the bullshit 'peacocking' that PUAs preach), women are the ones that are judged on their physical appearance and ability to display said appearance. They are the 'beautiful' gender(that's where this conversation started) because evolution has forced them to be. Edit: Think about just the bodies of males vs females. Males bodies are basically 100% function. Males were muscular and lean because males that survived were able to run long distances, and fight other males. Women have wide hips for childbirth, and that's it. Breast size is almost entirely irrelevant for nursing(smaller breasts hold less milk, but will produce more because the signal for producing more is based on how full they are), and narrow waists similarly serve no functional purpose other than men find them better to look at. It is a recent construct that men 'peacock' because functionality is no longer the primary purpose of a male body. | ||

Once I put on the Oil wash it might look a bit grimier. My main issue with it is that the base part feels too big of a flat surface to have that shiny of a color on. Maybe I need to put a design on there or use a decal or something, or do you think it looks fine? I still have a lot of painting to do on it, obviously. The "mask" part on the left of his face is going to be a white, the shoulder pads blue, details in teal and green. I might go over parts of the gun arm in a gunmetal, but I wanted to see what it would look like with a bronze weapon. The 6 side "engine" parts might be painted a different color as well, unsure yet. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/llojCjh.jpg) More angles + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/islgdyL.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/AQcAVjL.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/rLjwt4q.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/362ZAH8.jpg) I'm reminded why I never got into Warhammer, despite loving the lore/universe, I just couldn't be bothered to assemble/paint them myself >.> edit* cuz I saw Req's question too, I now only play Magic with my small group of friends that I've had since high school, so only like 4 of us. | ||

Think of it as a sports draft for a college player. Players just finishes college, wants to join X team, cuz that team is the best, has best players, best staff, best equipment etc etc. They value all these things, but what say do they have in actually joining it? very little, the choice belongs to the teams, not the player. | ||

But he's a boyscout. Won't do it. Batman's better for that. Especially Elseworld Batmen, or Frank Miller Batmen (except not too much Frank Miller, or you get the goddamned Batman). The Dark Knight Returns, for instance (DC makes the best animated movies, have to say). He also gets to beat Superman to a pulp in it (also, looking at it from a criminal justice perspective, TDKR has some very, very interesting historically consistent themes and notions about crime and society, but I digress). Now back to waiting for Justice League: War to come out. Flashpoint Paradox was not enuff. | ||

Yes, females want the best males, but who's the choice falling down to? Ultimately the females. | ||

Now back to waiting for Justice League: War to come out. Flashpoint Paradox was not enuff. That was actually kinda my point. Supes is boring. 1) Because of his unambiguous morality and 2) Because he literally can do anything and that's lame. At least Bruce has to work a little. Also he's more ornery and fun.

I haven't played like any magic lately. Partial mix of not having gone to see my friends in a while and being too wrapped up in league. | ||
