For a Good Time, Well, Don't Call Dad


            In the New York Times December 2nd article titled "For a Good Time, Well, Don't Call Dad"; Mary Duenwald describes the two types of males, cads and dads. Cads being the men that women turn too for short term affairs, these men are usually handsome, passionate, or in other words players. Dads being the men for long-term unions, these men are the loyal and caring ones. Various studies have been done about both cads and dads, and when 257 women in college when asked to read articles about both types of men they chose dads for long term and cads for short term. In a second study about the attraction between males and females birds where used in place of humans. The results of these studies showed that female birds where attracted to the prettier male bird. So the conclusion of the article is that women wouldn't go out of their way to marry a cad but would stick around to have fun with them, when it came down to settling down and having a family they would choose a dad most definitely. .
             Today I would guess and say that most cads are either teenagers and(or) in there early twenty's. Where the dad's would range anywhere from late twenty's and up. My reasoning for this is that when you are younger you tend to be free and have fun. Fun meaning go out to clubs, bars, parties and meet different women. As you get older more responsibility falls onto your shoulders, such as career and family. Once college and grad school is all done you start looking for a job, then once that is established you start settling down more and more until you find that one girl that you will be with the rest of your life. To me the cad and dad split is correct and that cads become dads as they get older and realize fun time is over. As for the dads who just stay dads forever just keep searching because there has to be a girl willing to settle down sooner or later. .
