He hasn't. Que Johnny Jihad and his virgins.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Uh-uh!
72 Virgins?
That's a threat!
That's hell, not heaven, that Johnny was on about!

If you ever had one, and a couple 30 year olds, you'd know the difference.

Pure fantasy.
I used to think that too. Until reality dawned.
Now I want 30 year olds that only look like 16 year olds!
Those are rare.

Although the fantasy is evolutionary driven, of course: the younger and stronger the parents, the better the chances for the offspring.

But since I'm more into fun than into procreation I rather have a mate who's been around the block, who knows how to let go, relax, and enjoy. Instead of awkward moments and uncomfortable uptightness with Barbie dolls...

You said,...

This is exactly what the women want from the men!
