What do you think? The men you've been out with - do they share any characteristics? Yup, they sure do...they have all been ruggedly good looking, blue collar, hard working guys who have a strong affinity for living outside the box. I wasn't trying to discount your theory at all, actually I believe it is quite credible. There was even a study that was released just last week that women put more effort into their appearance and even dress more provactively when they are ovulating.....and the study went on to further say that men were shown a group of women who they were asked to rank in the attractiveness department and the men chose the women who were indeed fertile at the time as the "more" attractive. Yeah, it makes sense to me. Take away the civilisation, the expensive clothes/personal hygiene and the primal instincts are still buried in the subconscious driving our decisions. I watched a documentary a few months ago and, in a nutshell, the argument put forward was that everything we do is geared towards attracting the opposite sex (or same sex depending on sexual persuasion). Whether it be the music we listen to, the clothes we wear, the restaurants we go to etc - it's all a statement of the person we want women to think we are and by extension the person we think women will be attracted to. Quite an interesting documentary.
