Evolutionary Proof of DJ Theory

[SinJester]

Ok so I'm once again directing to an article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/mind/articles/emotions/lonelyhearts.shtml

Here's what I want to bring attention to:

Men's preferences Women's preferences
1. Attractiveness 1. Commitment
1. Commitment 2. Social Skills
3. Social Skills 3. Resources
4. Resources 4. Attractiveness
4. Sexiness 5. Sexiness

Notice that men value looks first while it is 4th for women behind commitment, social skills and resources? Just some ammo for those who believe that looks don't matter so much. Now I'm not suggesting that the women wont cheat on you if you have the first 3, or that it has anything to do with secual attraction. Simply, it holds true to the DJ belief that looks don't matter.

In fact going slightly of topic, I can see the evolutionary advantage of a woman snaring a man to look after her and stay with her and cheating on him to make higher quality offspring, that she can be sure will me looked after by her 'mate'.

This is good information, but it's kind of narrow. Random hook-ups are different than bf/gf relationships. You don't really respond to commitment from a possible random hook-up option, you look for attractiveness/sexiness/social skills. When it comes to bf/gf relationships, this is good information.

I agree, before anyone else brings it up.
