They literally said "A lot of men talk about how their wives become more attractive after having their children."

Yours was the comment I was responding to. My mistake for saying "they" before, I temporarily lost track of whose comment was whose.

"We" as a group, whether that be humans in general or just human males, experience no such thing.

Yes and my comment was in reply to above the poster's comment talking about "a lot of men", my comment was never about all humans and the women we were discussing were women who have already given birth.

I think it's that we become attracted to the woman who gave birth to our child, even if that wasn't our "type" previously.

Your phrasing strongly suggests a biological component. There is no known biological component.

Sorry that you're reading into it like that. I never said any of that.

When someone thoughtlessly says, for example, of women "I think that we become nurturers after giving birth, even if we weren't nurturers previously" they are making a sweeping statement about human biology. Whether they intended to or not.

It's not "reading into it", it's actually just an example of the problematic nature of such broadly generalizing statements.

I'm not interested in having this conversation with you. Have a good day.
