DJ Jose, “Physical Attraction” - smarmy!
Men and women are very different. No, I mean really different. I did the math on this once and figured that at the maximum, a woman can have around 70 children. The world’s record is somewhere between 55 and 69 depending on your sources. On the other hand, we have no clear records of how many children one man can father (or should I say “sire”?). Solomon had 1,000 women, so in a good year he could have a few hundred kids. Over his lifetime he could have a few thousand. At the max, a man is capable of having around 18,000 children (my estimate, nobody’s confirmed this yet though). So that’s around 70 for a woman and around a bazillion for a guy. Like I said, really, really different.
