What signals do you look for? Do you decide based on reason or instinct?

    and then to be able to reproduce.

    Why would you classify that as a need? It’s a biological -intuitive- desire, is my interpretation.

    (Your interpretation is valid either way, I’m not trying to argue for or against. Just want to learn other’s point of view, maybe change mine in the process)

      Your remark is 100% correct, don’t worry. I (too) hastily replied to the OP as in regards to the reproducing mention I should have specified I was not considering the individual but the species.

      As a species, we need to perpetuate. All species do, us included. which does not mean all members of said species must/should/need to reproduce. More often than not, it will be quite the opposite. Edit: says I, a 50+ years old married dude without children ;)
