Maybe we're having different definitions of hard-coded.
My definition of hard coded: something that's innate in us - something we're born with, e.g. encoded in DNA.
I don't think men looking for women to cook for them etc is hard-coded - because there are so many counter examples. Nature vs nurture.
Why do you think I was attacking your view? I was simply trying to understand why you think it's hard-coded.
And if you think that NG article is just speculation, then don't you think what you're claiming is also speculation?
I'm happily admitting that my comment is speculation based on what I'm observing.
But since I don't have a clear understanding of how this work, I'm asking these questions to get a fuller picture.
But you said you don't really know - so fair enough.
I do want to broaden my perspective and ideally with scientific research / reading articles by experts who have studied this subject for decades and I thought maybe you had those at hand to support the view that men are hard-coded (born with) to "looking for a wife— take care of my house and children, be attractive and cook"
