You should read some evolutionary psychology. Taking some ideology you hold, which is very modern, and then claiming to not understand why anyone would think otherwise shows a pretty severe lack of ability to understand how others might think.

Isn't evopsych kind of like Homo sapiens fanfic?

Maybe I should. However, I'm not sure how trustworthy perspectives on history are that claim humans have had a different approach to dating in the past, considering how historians have a history of manipulation when it comes to promiscuity.

Of course I can understand how people feel different about this, but it doesn't strike me any less irrational and petty: They don't seem to realise those problems come from their own insecurities, not their partners or their previous romantic encounters.
