Only in NY!!!

Only in a town chockablock with attractive people would the question arise: Did humans make it with neandertals?

Quick answer: Guys will make it with ANYTHING.

Longer answer: As a cocktail waitress at a not-too-classy Little Rock club (the now gone Planet Earth, I believe it had to close down because of all the shootings out in front) I have seen courtship behaviour that exceeds what your mind would believe credible. There was a "stripper" that would come in after her shift with her sister. Oh Lord those two were repulsive. The stripper, if that in fact was something she got paid for, would come in in a dress made out of swimsuit material cut up and down to reveal lumpy rolls of cellulity flesh. Her hair was tatty and fried, her face had a cast iron quality in its smashedness and uneven texture. She had redneck teeth. Her sister was supposedly not a stripper, but she'd wear this little tiny not-a-tube tube top. More like a bandeau swimtop. And she was ginormous. Her boobs would flop up and down on her tummy rolls as she danced and shimmied.

Neither of them had any lack of male attention. The sober male bouncers were totally put off, but bouncers have a kind of club status where they can hook up with attractive strippers, but if they hadn't been, they would have taken what they could get.

Lest you think nothing ever comes of these unions, one of my best friends is a labor and delivery nurse at a free hospital. Her stories are hilARious. She has one about the pregnant dwarf with her bf the enormous baller. She has one about the skinny gangsta who fainted dead away as he entered the delivery room after putting up a big "I'm gonna be with my woman while she have my baby!" front. But she has these stories about these pregnant women with all kinds of craziness — they're 500 pounds and basically immobile, they have privates that look like fields of cauliflower, they haven't bathed in a dog's age — and they are having children!!!

This is not to say that the specimens that are contributing half the zygotes' genes are models of the pinnacle of human eugenic achievement; but to reiterate.

Guys will do ANYTHING. What's a little short forehead, a little unibrow, in the scheme of things?
