The rule that women want what other women want is universal. ... This rule is second best predictor of human behavior I know.

Interesting. And the first?

I call it Dominion Theory. It si based on:

1."God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it", Genesis 1:28
2. "And the LORD God said, [It is] not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him", Genesis 2:18

Since women is help meet it fall on man's back to fullfil multiplication of fruit and subduing earth.

So every man will as try to achieve next:

1. Have as much children as possible.

Often kings have eunuch whos job was to find when king's wifes will be fertile. When he thought one of wife was fertile she was send to king's bed.

2. Have as wifes as possible.

I don't trust man who claim he wants only one women.

One wife pregnant=adding (children)
Several wifes pregnant at the same time=multiplication

3. Own as much as possible

The ,ore you own more earth you have subdued. Also helps with points 1. and 2.
Big family=big needs.

4. Mastery in some type of work.

Very helpful for point 3. Also type subduing.

I'm certain Jesus could talk about this for months.

Success for man=success with women+success in career

If one part part on left side of equation isn't fullfiled man will feel something is missing in his life.
