"As much as you want to escape your biology, there it is, in your face. Humans have the illusion that they can escape their biology, but we're just like any other animal, the difference is our leash is longer. It appears that we have all this freedom to make these choices, but we really don't."

as a someone about to get a doctorate in the science that covers human motivation and decision making, I always find it funny when people try to use biology and evolutionary biology as a catch all explanation. Honestly, articles like this ignore the variety of human and animal behaviors and the role of intelligence.

You have a good point - I didn't act the way I did at MR because I HAD to but didn't WANT to. I did what I wanted, and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. I was never uncomfortable with the idea of a friend with benefits becoming an emotional attachment - as long as it stayed non-committed anyway. And as for seeking dating/mate options...at MR? Please.
