    Yeah, I think in general it starts with trying to impress women, then you do it to impress other guys.

    I guess it’s similar for women, they might get into doing their make up and looking nice for attention from guys they like, but in the end they’re mainly trying to impress other women or just doing it because they enjoy it.

      My favorite psychology professor likes to say that human males organize themselves into a status hierarchy, then females tend to be most attracted to the males at the top of that hierarchy.

      What this implies is that men are basically electing, themselves, the other men who will pass their genes along to the next generation.
