You must have gotten that % from an economist at the Bureau of Labor Statistics...it requires an upward revision.
Last time my wife and I had an argument, she got exasperated and blurted out, "all men care about is money and sex!"
I calmly replied, "so what's your point?"
She’s right, but all most women care about is money and security.
Hence 10,000+++ years of human history where women trade sex for security, and men buy sex by providing security. That reads pretty vulgar but is true at its core.
Obviously human companionship goes way beyond money and sex. That is why people who have lots of both often feel empty and confused. They have the basics down but aren’t happy and can’t figure out why. It is because they are missing deep human needs like a sense of purpose and belonging, and being needed and needing someone. Call it love.
So yes, keeping our sanity goes far beyond just sex and security, but none of that changes the fact that sex for men and security for women are deep-rooted fundamental needs.
Not true. I really don't care about money all that much.
