In a majority of mating systems it is the male that must attract the female. In a few bird species, the female must attract the male (they subsequently leave the male to all the child raising duties). Yet the human dating/mating system is so complex due to a complex behavioral system and also because of higher thought processes.

I personally like moth mating systems. The female smells good, male comes to female. While this may not occur this exact way in humans (after all some of us can smell like poop) there is evidence that subconciously we are attacted to others based on things we never think of. For example, women prefer the odor of men more genetically different than themselves. You’ld never think of the smell of the opposite sex as being useful. Why is this beneficial? It prevents (or helps prevent) inbreeding in humans, which most of use realize is unhealthy.

There are books and theories everywhere about dating; there will be many more books and theories in the future. But can we as a society admit that we don’t know what causes an attraction? No, because the thought that we don’t know terrifies people…thus science is born. So I guess I’m saying, that attraction cannot be defined as a set of principles or laws.

Who’s “Future Wife”? They’ve got a pretty good idea there for #8. I don’t know about “period”, but it’s probably the best way the start.

Besides that it was a very good post.

About the “princess” comment; I agree to an extent. And yes, to all the princess I do know from experience. It’s ok to date a princess as long as she is aware that a princesses job is to get pampered by her father (the king. remember that boys: Her father is KING) not to be pampered by the prince. The prince sweeps her off her feet on his white stallion, but she is to support him on his way to becoming king (i.e. dating/courting) and support him even more as queen.(marriage)

To sum it all up without annologies: Guys need to take innitiave, and treat your girl like a princess. Girls need to support their prince and treat him as the King you want him to be.
Good night.

Can you lip sync? Can you dance?
You might just have a shot at the whole boy band thing.

LaFawnduh: Why are you so sweaty?
Napoleon Dynamite: I’ve been practicing.
LaFawnduh: Mmmm. Practicing what?
Napoleon Dynamite: Some dance moves.

I agree. He was a cute wee lad.
Not sure what happened along the way though.
Just kidding man. You are suave and debonair.
Now, with your haircut and smooth face, you have your boyish look back.
