ORIGINAL: MISTRESSKUMA Males traditionally get women through achievement. Men know their mating chances and opportunity to spread their genes increase through being resourceful, strongest, and even being the richest. If males want to be given the opportunity to spread their genes, they have to know they need to signal to women that their genes were the fittest and that they would be the best providers. This actually hit a thought that has been in my mind for some time. If we look at other animals and compare what the male and female does, I see the male is far more active in attracting and keeping a mate. By nature the male is more colorful, has more decorations and goes through a lot of actions to attract the female who simply is. It seems like we as humans have keep some of this -- the idea that men need to be good providers is indeed very common in human history -- but coupled that with this weird notion that women put on clothes and decorations to attract a mate. I'm not saying that is right or wrong just that is seems very odd to me at some level.
