There's no reason to mention this article, except after I read it, I had the burning desire to say to someone, anyone, "Duh! Why do you think 90% percent of dates involve men taking women out to dinner? The man is proving he can provide for a mate and offspring!"
I don't care what anybody says: we're all animals at our core. Being human means you have evolved a superego to make up lies to disguise the fact that you're driven by your id.
And that's exactly the reason I always insisted on going dutch, during the early phases of dating someone. Although in retrospect that may have backfired, since I tended to end up with guys who wanted to be taken care of.
It's a delicate and difficult thing, balance of power.

Hrm... link is broken, from here...
And strangely, I felt this compelling need to find it for you anyway... And bring it to you, beaten, bloody, dead, and ready for consuming...
An urge which I was able to resist, at least. Which is probably good for everyone, on balance...
(/But geez, about those genetic predispositions, again...)
You are truly a higher evolved mammal, AJ.
