would you want to be a survivor if 90% of your sex was wiped out? (points, biological)

[cyphorx]

a few years back after re-reading "Y-The last man" I asked if you would want to be the last of your sex, many of you painted that as a bleak future for the last male or female in that scenario, well I recently binge watched sliders and there was an episode call "love gods" where biological warfare wiped out the majority of the men on that world and the world nations were in a race to repopulate(that version of earth never invented invitro fertilization so it had to be done the old fashioned way).

Well my version it would be a 90% kill rate on one sex, that would mean over 3 billion men or women would drop dead(depending on which sex you are reader) I know that sounds like a lot but there are 7 billion people on the planet. that means 350 million of your sex would have been immune, thats still 3 times as many people both male and female on the planet than for most of human history, it is estimated that the word population averaged between 40 - 100 million for most of the time we have been on the planet, and a few points early on dipping to just a few thousand. so that is more than enough of the effected sex surviving for genetic diversity. plus your competition would go way down.

There are already threads where people talk about cities and towns where the male/female ratio is imbalanced and how much easier it is to find dates or relationships for those in the minority sex.

And thats just towns with a 2-1 difference, imagine 9-1(in your favor).

Not really, but given that fictional scenario, Id have a moral obligation to help repopulate the human race

Considering what we've done to the planet, I'd say the human race doesn't deserve to survive. Nor would I wish to be a human who did.

Y- The Last Man is a superb comic, by the way.

Honestly, I’d have no interest in surviving an extinction level event like that. Yeah, you survive but have zero quality of life.

In that case, I'm available for reproductive services.

Har-de-har-har - the guys here are soooo gallant....sure, I'd stick around, but no babies for me - I'd scrounge up some birth control and go on my merry way.

Hmmmm

So as a guy, essentially the question is would u rather be alive or dead, in a world with 90% females 10 % males.

Seems like a no brainer to me. So yes. Perhaps the 3 guys that have voted no so far, swing for the other team.

If I wanted that experience I could have joined the military.

[Auraliea]

I wouldn't care.

I'd keep living as I am now.

At first thought, it seems like it would be a fun situation, but then I think of all the nagging and complaining I would have to endure. Would probably end up offing myself. No thanks.
