The Darwinian Battle

history of dating and losing to jocks one
example of nature's battle to separate
strong from weak, fit from the unfit,
the pros from the Joes, pretty from
plain? The flaw in such thinking is the
ninety-eight pound weaklings discover
with weight and martial arts training they
can climb out of the pit to which they've
been assigned. The athletic rarely
improve their intelligence. A brain
ultimately trumps strength and good
looks. Nerds mate later, are more
often monogamous and partner for life,
usually with a surviving member of the
Nerd caste, thereby perpetuating the
species. May this observation comfort
and sustain you as you sit alone in your
dorm at night listening to the theme
from Star Wars.
